Section 293 The Battle of Longyan (15)
Mr. Lan Da's real name is Nanwang.
Nanwang was originally a non-talented person in Hangzhou, but later when he was a guest for the salt merchants, he enlarged the belly of the owner's concubine Liu Niang, and then he ran away with Liu Niang.
After running away and encountering robbers at sea, Nan Wang, who was almost killed, was rescued by the traversers, and then he began to help the traversers do things in Hangzhou. After the crossing crowd occupied the majority, Nanwang followed, and then according to his characteristics, he was developed into an agent by the newly established intelligence bureau.
As the earliest agent recruited by the Intelligence Bureau, Nanwang can be said to have been trained in a key way: any old employee in the early stage of the force can get some convenience when he was created.
Regarding his recruitment, it was the intelligence chief Dai Yun who personally came forward; After that, due to the small scale of the initial training, Nanwang was in charge of Ma Yue, deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau from national security.
At the beginning, he was actually resistant to being a "secret agent". However, the situation is stronger than people: he is just a talent who has not been ranked for many years, and Hangzhou has provoked salt merchants, and he has nowhere to go if he does not take refuge in the crossing forces.
What's more, as the understanding deepened, Nanwang felt more and more that this group of people was mysterious and powerful, and of course, ruthless.
You must know that he participated in the "Li Kui Plan" for the Hangzhou scientific expedition, which can be regarded as "confidential to the news". At this time, if you don't follow the path pointed out......
Nanwang's profession is Qingke, not only to export poems, but also to be able to tell the gossip of the market and the world's political opinions at any time, this kind of person is usually aware of the world, not the kind of nerd, so Nanwang has a very clear judgment of his dangerous situation.
In the end, he could only quietly suppress that dissatisfaction in his heart and became this unknown "student of the Intelligence Bureau".
The treatment of the trainees is quite good. As soon as Nanwang arrived at the big house, he was assigned a single house: the big-bellied Liu Niang needed him to take care of it.
Different from the cruel privacy of "learning crafts" in his imagination, after Nanwang "went to work" on the first day, he was actually arranged to be a "teaching assistant" in the newly renovated Chihkan Primary School.
The teachers at Chihkan Primary School are all top students who were selected from the homeless people in the early stage, and these people have to work as primary school teachers while continuing their studies.
Nanwang's first job as a teaching assistant was also to study: "Comparison Table of Traditional and Simplified Characters", "Concise Dictionary", "Interpretation of Old and New Words", and "A Brief History of Social Forms".
Sitting in the sunny office, Nanwang gradually settled down while studying: he was not a talented person, his family was in the middle, and he had no gratitude to Daming.
Now he learns some simplified Chinese characters that lack pen and strokes, and he doesn't resist it...... After all, this group of people is still good to him, with a salary equivalent to three taels of silver per month, and Liu Niang was also arranged to work as a light community clerk because of her literacy, and the salary was also three taels.
Originally, Nanwang was reluctant, but the women here have to go to work. Liu Niang, who has always been hidden by the golden house, likes the feeling of going to work very much, and goes to work every day with a big belly, and is still thinking about being the director of the street office, Nanwang has no choice but to go with her.
In addition, Liu Niang also obtained the qualification to go to the hospital to check the fetus, which is very important: Nanwang now knows that Liu Niang has a daughter in her belly.
......
A Xiucai's writing skills are far more than those of junior high school students in later generations, so Nanwang quickly finished learning the traditional and simplified character comparison table.
And his state of mind gradually changed when he studied the booklet "Interpretation of Old and New Words".
Some of the words in the booklet are already in ancient texts, but they have been given new meanings, and some are simply invented, such as "industrialization" and "battleship". Nanwang recognized every word, but he couldn't understand the interpretation...... But he could see from these words a world completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Ma Yue, who had always cared about his growth, appeared. Ma Yue not only took the time to explain to him the meaning of these new words, but also took Nanwang to the screening room of the Intelligence Bureau to watch the "science and education film", which gave him a thorough understanding of what a battleship and industrialization were.
Listening to the voiceover of the same tone as he traveled through the crowd, and seeing the huge steel battleships on the screen emitting thick black smoke and firing deafening artillery, Nanwang was indeed shocked. And when he saw the workers on the assembly line and the machine production line day and night, he fell silent.
"Is this picture true or false? Where did you come from? ”
If there really were such a city-like iron ship and a steel mechanism that spouted finished products day and night, then the Crossing Crowd would have ruled all the nations a long time ago, so why should they run to this island to suffer? So Nanwang immediately thought that everything on the screen was fake, and it was just some kind of clever movie drama.
Ma Yue didn't say anything, but took him to the base of the kiln area.
After returning from the visit to the base, Nanwang had a preliminary idea of the so-called industrialization. Only then did Ma Yue bluntly tell Nanwang that the traversal were all from the upper realm of Kunlun, and the purpose was to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish a new world.
Regarding the rebellion, Nan Wang was not surprised: he had already seen it from the clues and the daily conversations of the traversals. Otherwise, what is the purpose of cultivating this "dark room" of him?
To his surprise, the so-called "Kunlun Theory": now he finally knew the origin of these strange people...... It turned out to be a fairy?
This can be the right number: the two races that seem to be the same on the surface, but in fact have completely different connotations, all kinds of magical technologies and "magic weapons", as well as the huge social background represented behind those new words, all have explanations at this time.
And what puzzled Nanwang was, why didn't the traversers directly disclose their origins? You must know that those leaders of the sects in the rivers and lakes can gather a large number of congregations with only a few tricks that do not enter the stream. And there are too many of these things that the traverser has mastered that can be called real "miracles".
When Ma Yue heard this, he laughed, and then told Nanwang two things: first, the country has to rely on his own hands to fight down step by step, and the magic stick is a trick and has no foundation.
Second, these "immortals" have neither mana nor return to Kunlun now, they are no different from ordinary people, and they can only copy the world in those "science and education films" little by little, so they must lie dormant for some years.
In addition, since they are already "mortals", they no longer plan to publicize the story of the fairy world. All the things about the "Kunlun Realm" will only be passed down orally among the first generation of indigenous elites, and will not form any written records, and these stories will only become legends in the future.
......
Nanwang's worldview has thus opened a new door.
As he studied those basic textbooks in depth, Nanwang became more and more interested in the legendary Kunlun God Realm. Ma Yue told him that the upper realm was also constantly fighting, the state was swirling and cruising, and various systems coexisted - "A Brief History of Social Forms".
This book is the final step in the ideological training of the cadets. Nanwang has studied capitalism since slavery, and during this period, Ma Yue, as a mentor and friend, continued to popularize common sense, increase knowledge, and expand his brain.
The last discussion between the two sides about the social system was after Nanwang learned that the future government he served would be a constitutional monarchy.
"Isn't this the rule of the Son of Heaven?" Nanwang, who is still half a bottle of water about the social system, immediately used the Confucian theories he was most familiar with.
"Hahaha." Ma Yue burst out laughing.
"The vertical arch rule in the mouth of the scholar refers to the dominance of their class after the emperor is overthrown - there is nothing to do with the people, and the scholar does not intend to accept the supervision of the mud legs."
"The constitutional monarchy, on the other hand, is different: although the emperor is overthrown, the ruling class is accountable to the electorate. If you want to be a governor, you have to settle the people of a state, tell me, is it easy to get a few bigwigs in private, or is it easy to settle the people of a state? ”
"In this way, it will not be easy for the officials in the future?" Nanwang understood.
"That's right, it's much harder to please thousands of people than to overthrow the emperor."
...... After the most difficult step of thinking transformation was completed, Nanwang finally figured out what he was fighting for and who he was fighting for, and it was already three months after he came to Dayuan.
After that, the Intelligence Bureau conducted several rounds of psychological testing and internal polygraph tests on him.
It turns out that the converted class of scholars can be "used for my own use". At least Nanwang, a depressed low-end scholar, is now full of ideas such as "from the dragon's minister" and "founding father", which can be described as a rebirth.
......
After the test was completed, Nanwang was transferred out of Chihkan Primary School and came to a village in Xingangshe. The village has been converted into a training base for the Intelligence Bureau, and the indigenous people have been relocated to the new district of Chikan.
And before that, there was an episode: someone finally ushered in the birth of his daughter. During this period, due to Liu Niang's dystocia, Nanwang was also able to witness the miracle of Master Miaoshu's "caesarean section and baby......
Holding the baby who was screaming, Nanwang knew that he would never be able to turn back - there was no doctor in the Ming Dynasty who could do this, and if he wanted to have children and grandchildren in the future, he could only follow through the crowd.
It didn't take long for Nanwang, a first-time father, to begin formal training in espionage skills.
Meaning that his learning course has changed from a theoretical "Tao" to a practice-based "technique", Nanwang is a little excited - his current ideological realm has been greatly improved, and he no longer resists these "skills" that can make him get ahead.
Compared with later generations, the secret agent's curriculum is a much smaller version: shooting, fighting, assassination, intelligence gathering and analysis, maintenance and use of electronic equipment, chemical mastery, and telecommunication technology...... That's all.
The intelligence bureau's enemies in the 17th century were too low to need 007.
