Chapter 146: The Agents

"Heaven and Earth Society?"

The man was very proud and said, "Yes, this is ...... A certain prince's side, loyal to the Ming Dynasty people came up with a clever plan, as long as they join this meeting and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the future Daming will be restored, and it will naturally be rewarded a hundred times. ”

As soon as he heard this, An Zaixu was overjoyed, although he was not as arrogant as Fan Jinzhongju, but he was also overjoyed, and immediately asked, "Then how will this work?" ”

This is a good saying, in the late Ming Dynasty, it was the time when the atmosphere of non-governmental associations in the Ming Dynasty was strong, first, the economic exhibition, with the conditions for association, and all kinds of commercial exchanges, so that the circulation of personnel accelerated, naturally produced a variety of interests entanglement, naturally there were people, there were people, there were rivers and lakes.

For example, the guild halls in various places in Beijing, that is a very realistic act of association, and on the other hand, all kinds of organizations with ideas, economic interests, and political interests as the reason for the association are also everywhere, and our Donglin Party and Fushe are such examples, so An Zaixu is naturally familiar with this, which is nothing more than an ancient version of the circle of friends.

"Here." The man took out a notebook written in calligraphy, seemed to be very careful, and said: "You take it to study it carefully, don't let anyone know, I think, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you should also know the ending of Dong Cheng's family." ”

When An Zaixu heard this, he was also surprised, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "An uncle of the younger generation, who is now an official of the puppet dynasty, is very trustworthy, but it can be used." ”

"Oh, in the court, in the court officials, it's better to contact later, the focus of your current communication is to go to the big clans in the imperial capital, see their reactions first, and finally show them the edict, but remember to put it away."

"Yes, yes." Ahn Jae-wook only listened to the order, and was about to say something.

The man suddenly said, "By the way, I haven't said anything about you yet." ”

An Zaixu knew that since this period of time, the year has passed, and he has stopped reading books, although he has been disqualified from the imperial examination, but he can rely on the "edict" that looks like a divine object, and go to the original gentry mansions in the imperial capital, and there is no one who is not allowed to enter the door, and his trembling awe has really made An Zaixu, who was originally like ashes, mentally satisfied, and naturally more concerned about this "cause", of course, this status is also something he is eager for.

I only heard the man say slowly: "Now, in the name of the Chief Military Officer of the Heaven and Earth Society, Chen Jinbei, I appoint you as the Aoki Hall Incense Master, responsible for the specific affairs of this imperial capital, well, this is some funds, although it is not much, but it should be enough to help you continue to live in the imperial capital for a period of time, and those big families will give you some more or less, take your time, wait until the spring begins, and the spring flowers bloom, you will go to Jiangnan to do things." ”

An Zaixu was overjoyed, although he didn't know how many officials the incense master of this Aoki Hall was, but there was no doubt that this was the first-hand resource he got from the little prince, he felt how much that after the other party took out the edict to himself a few days ago, it can be seen that in the imperial capital, many people are cooperating with him, no matter what kind of documents or doing things, someone will open the back door.

Ahn Jae-wook immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Student, you must swear allegiance to the prince and your lord." ”

The man smiled and said: "The situation in the imperial capital, that's it, as far as I got, those gentlemen don't want to go with you, but they have been seen to death, and the wind and grass in the family will be noticed, and you can be wronged to dress up as a small servant in order to blend into their home, so going to Jiangnan is the way to survive, you have to go to Jiangnan to accumulate contacts, so as to fight against this side." ”

"Do as your lord commands." Hearing this, An Zaixu was also discouraged, these days, the effect is really bad, although he is full of passion, but he also understands that these gentry have already betrayed the Ming Dynasty physically and mentally.

The man looked at An Zaixu's expression, as if he had expected it, and said: "I won't let you run in vain, although it is difficult to do things, but, relying on the benefits of these people who are not familiar with the inner palace, we got a good thing, that is, some holy decrees that were originally stored in the celebrant supervisor, which were stolen with great effort, you have to use them well, a total of one hundred, the prince has stamped his own gold seal on it, and he writes on it himself, many people in Jiangnan who have been officials in the imperial capital have seen the prince's handwriting, and the first emperor of Chongzhen was there. But on many occasions, the ministers have read the prince's handwriting, so as long as you take it, someone will naturally check it, this is a letter of appointment written in advance, you can directly fill in the name, you can appoint officials to do things. ”

An Zaixu became excited for a while, he is a white-bodied talent, where does he know the secrets of officialdom that are too complicated, of course, he thinks that the crown prince is an official, it is naturally a matter of course, his blank letter of appointment is even more rare than the letter of appointment by name, it can be said that if it is not for this "extraordinary" period, it is almost impossible to get.

When he saw this adult, he took out a yellow cloth and handed it to him, and after An Zaixu took it, he read it: "Today, there is a loyal minister who is loyal to the country, virtuous and square, and is appointed as a ...... Wupin Guan......"

Ahn Jae-wook completely understands that this thing is a blank document, and after filling in a name, you can appoint officials, however, there seems to be a grade restriction behind it, and it is not something that any official can do.

This is also right, even if you give him this blank holy decree and let him go to Nanjing City and directly ask the governor to give way, I am afraid that people will directly beat you as "directly raiding the house and destroying the door, even if you are a "real" Qincha, it will become a fake.

The hot and cold state of the world since these days has already made Ahn Jae-wook much more sensitive.

He looked at the man and said, "This decree ......."

"For specific duties, you can act cheaply, when the time comes, when you go to Jiangnan, it is not easy for me to direct you how to grant official positions to people who are interested in the Ming Dynasty, so everything is fine."

Acting cheaply, according to the meaning of a certain "other" Aoki Hall incense master, that is, if there is a cheap, take advantage of it, don't be polite, of course, An Zaixu is very moved by this kindness, he has been running for many days, however, the "big man" above, has never said what arrangements he will give himself, what kind of official wishes, but, now that I look at it, this is directly allowing myself to appoint the following officials, can it be low.

Just as it is impossible for Qipin Zhixian to manage the officials of the Erpin Frontier, since he let himself go south and lead the great cause of "recovering the country", can this official fortune be missing?

Imagining that after himself, the days when he would pay homage to the prime minister, enter the cabinet, and be an assistant, An Zaixu was hot for a while, and his heart was full of energy, and he wanted to jump up and shout to the sky, I am going to be an official.

Still, no.

The adult in front of him, I don't know what the origin is, his face is white, he doesn't talk much, every time he meets, he gets straight to the point, An Zaixu once suspected that he was a eunuch in the palace, and he was deeply trusted by the prince, so he could afford the heavy responsibility of internal and external transportation, but, it doesn't seem to be, although he doesn't know his name, he is indeed a person who is deeply trusted by the prince, and if he wants to take the road of official career in the future, he is bound to not offend the person in front of him.

"Do as you ...... told"

"The holy decree will be stored with me first, and when you leave the imperial capital and go south, someone will naturally send it to you."

According to the original habit, this adult didn't speak at first, as if he wanted to let himself leave, but after getting "business" today and establishing his "status" in the future, he was naturally in a good mood and felt different from others.

In order to further show it, and also to curry favor, he said slowly: "In the past two days, the imperial capital seems to be a little unusual, it seems that there are some thieves who are recruiting troops among those laborers and homeless people, and they are in a hurry, you see, this is a bit unusual, my lord, is there something wrong, there will be no soldiers after the year, I guess, there is a border trouble somewhere." ”

For the first time, Wang Jian felt that this ordinary indigenous person was not simple, and he could infer something from the conscription activities in the past few days, indeed, due to many cultural reasons, unless it was a special emergency, whether it was the East or the West, they didn't like to conscript after the New Year, which was also normal, people had just reunited in the New Year, and the friendship was deep, if you pulled people away, the morale of people as soldiers was definitely not high, and the registration was definitely insufficient.

Themselves, due to the lack of officers, the lack of non-commissioned officers, and even the fact that they themselves do not know much about how to manage an army that is too large, they are still very cautious about the expansion of the army, and basically leave it until the second half of the year, mainly focusing on the political education of the indigenous soldiers.

"No wonder Li Xiangqian said that you must not underestimate these natives." Wang Jian said secretly, he is not from the army, but he is usually interested in spy war movies, oo7 or something, so after confirming that he arrived in ancient times, he volunteered to be the manager in charge of the intelligence agency.

He claims to be the director of the CIA, but at present, there are no available soldiers under him, although he directly got the power of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but if this group of people works, the Ming Dynasty will not die, and its loyalty also needs to be investigated, therefore, it can only learn from some Jinyiwei's training rules or something, as for "out of the field" is impossible, therefore, Wang Jian now belongs to the proper commander of the light pole, and the director of the CIA who does not have an intelligence officer.

……

It can't be said that there is no, the deceived Comrade An Jae-wook in front of him, the talent who has been completely controlled and used, is the only field intelligence officer he can use, although he is cannon fodder...... If you tell him now that the so-called Heaven and Earth Society is actually the clone vest, branch, and white gloves of the Elders' Church, it is estimated that people will collapse immediately.

However, it didn't mean much, Wang Jian sighed and said, "These, naturally you don't have to worry about it...... Well, this seat has some eyeliner in the palace, of course, it is to protect the prince, it should be some trivial matter in Liaodong, this is not for you and me. ”

His meaning is very simple, since An Zaixu is on the blacklist, he still has to use it before he dies, forged various documents, and in the future, he will be branded as a liar holding a cloth edict, and he will be directly sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, and those families who dare to cooperate with him will naturally also want to keep accounts of "red beans and black beans".

An Zaixu nodded, it was also right, although he deduced something from some situations, but he was alone and had no power, although he was cautious, he could only do so.

In order to increase the sense of mystery, when Wang Jian "absorbed" An Zaixu, he specially told him a lot of tricks, such as finding a good reason to go in and out, in order to shirk the time when he met him, during this time, such as going to buy something or something, and An Zaixu also returned to the rented inn.

Since one day a year ago, after being "interviewed" by Wang Jian, An Zaixu changed his drunken decadence for many days, but instead began to work hard, and no longer drank heavily, originally he also wanted to rent a yard and go in and out alone, which is convenient for doing things, however, because the officials who come to the door every day tell about the renovation of the old city, the topic that people in the old city must be relocated immediately, so naturally he can only temporarily not rent a house, in any case, he was disqualified from the exam, but stayed in the imperial capital for a long time, which is indeed eye-catching, According to what Wang Jian "educated", it is necessary to find some serious things as a cover.

An Zaixu returned to the inn, although before, after he lost power, he occasionally suffered some cold eyes, at least the original flattery was not much, but now, he has recovered his spirit, and even more smug energy than the previous arrogance, rewarding Xiao Er is also energetic, and naturally more popular, while the other scholars are also Enke, who are about to go out, and they continue to gnaw books every day.

He returned to the room and carefully sorted it out, although the various information produced in the recent period of time, although within a few days, someone sent a letter to ask him to meet Wang Jian and narrate it, but he always had to calculate it in his heart.

Today, it can be said that this imperial capital is completely different from the past, spending more than 100,000 taels of silver to repair the roads and clean up the garbage, and then the patrolmen will impose heavy fines and heavy penalties on those who litter everywhere, and even include them in the performance appraisal, which is no longer the original imperial capital at all.

That's right, since there was no concept of landfill incineration in ancient times, it was not impossible to defecate directly in the corner of the street, so that some of the main roads in the imperial capital were raised several floors by garbage and feces, and even raised.

By 1949, the People's Liberation Army had cleaned up for three months, and dozens of tons of garbage had been produced.

Many people who cherish the memory of the Republic of China, my brain-dead people in the Qing Dynasty, can never imagine that the brothers, little swallows, and intellectual youths of the Republic of China in their minds are living in such a Beijing......
