The emperor's grace is magnificent, the emperor's grace is magnificent!

Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, was moved after learning that the Son of Heaven handed over the errand of rebuilding the inner factory to him, and bowed to the Son of Heaven three times and nine times, vowing to live up to the expectations of the Son of Heaven.

No wonder Han Zanzhou was so excited.

You must know that once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is even more so for them, the slaves and maids of the inner palace.

Liu Chuanzong was an old man who served the Son of Heaven when he was in the East Palace, and it is not surprising that the new monarch succeeded him to the throne and entered the celebrant and administer the East Factory.

As for him, Han Zanzhou, was able to be promoted from the Nanjing garrison eunuch to the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, even he himself couldn't believe it.

You must know that the Imperial Horse Supervisor is an extremely important institution among the twelve eunuchs, controlling part of the forbidden army, and his status is second only to the celebrant supervisor.

It is precisely because the Imperial Horse Supervisor has the power of the army that this position has always been held by the henchmen of the Son of Heaven.

During the Chenghua period, the great eunuch Wang Zhi was appointed by Emperor Xianzong as the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and started to build the West Factory for a while.

For example, although today's son did not rebuild the west factory, he wanted to re-establish the inner factory, and this errand was handed over to Han Zanzhou, how could he not like it?

If he just hung the name of a eunuch with the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor, he might not be able to compare to Liu Chuanzong, who supervised the East Factory with the pen of the celebrant eunuch. However, if you add the name of an internal factory, Han Zanzhou thinks that he is not inferior to Liu Chuanzong.

People are very ambitious, and eunuchs are also people, so naturally it is impossible to avoid vulgarity.

Han Zanzhou naturally hopes that one day he can become the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch of the palm seal and become the number one person in the inner prison.

But the road has to be taken step by step, and the first thing Han Zanzhou has to do is to do the errand given to him by the Son of Heaven.

Compared with the past, the power of the inner factory to be rebuilt this time has been greatly increased, not only responsible for investigating the internal affairs of Ying Tianfu, but also expanding the scope to the whole country, including the areas occupied by the pseudo-Shun and pseudo-Qing.

The Son of Heaven made it clear that he would set up a military intelligence department in the inner factory, which would be responsible for collecting intelligence in all the prefectures and counties, including the enemy-occupied areas.

Han Zanzhou naturally attaches great importance to this.

In his opinion, the Son of Heaven rebuilt the inner factory because he was not at ease with the east factory.

Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has focused on checks and balances. Both Dongchang and Jinyiwei are eagle dogs raised by the Son of Heaven, but if this pair of eagle dogs is too united, the Son of Heaven naturally can't rest assured.

Han Zanzhou is very clear about his role. The reconstruction of the inner factory is aimed at the east factory. And he is a dog raised by the Son of Heaven, and he will bite whoever the Son of Heaven asks him to bite, even if the Son of Heaven asks him to bite the Admiral of Dongchang and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he will not hesitate at all.

The warrior battalion and Tengxiang four guards are the Son of Heaven's own army, but since Wanli the combat effectiveness is far less than before, Chongzhen Dynasty, the warrior battalion and Tengxiang four guards were reorganized into a new Yongwei battalion.

The generals who commanded the army were Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan, and Huang Degong.

This army of the Son of Heaven, which was directly under the Imperial Horse Supervisor, performed many miraculous feats and played an important role in the battle with Li Zicheng and other rogues and the Qing army.

But because of the two-front battle, it was finally dragged down.

In the end, Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji died in battle, and only the Yongwei Battalion of Huang Degong's Department, which was suppressing the western thief Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan at that time, was preserved.

It stands to reason that the Yongwei Battalion of the Huang Degong Department should be under the control of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but the Son of Heaven ordered the Huang Degong Department to guard Yangzhou and guard the gate of Nanjing, so he could only transfer 1,500 elites from it to Nanjing to be under the control of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

After the Nanjing Xungui conspiracy, the Beijing camp was abolished, and the Son of Heaven replaced the Beijing camp with the Shence army, and the more than 5,000 soldiers of the original Beijing camp were also allocated to the imperial horse supervisor.

Therefore, now Han Zanzhou has 6,500 soldiers in his hands.

Han Zanzhou decided to transfer 5,000 people from these 6,500 people to form an internal factory.

Among them, 500 were responsible for Ying Tianfu's investigation work, and the remaining 4,500 were all sent to the localities.

These 4,500 people stationed in the local area were subordinate to the Military Intelligence Department under the inner factory and were directly responsible to Han Zanzhou.

In this way, a political secretary can probably have 300 military intelligence officers, which is enough in terms of intelligence work alone.

In Han Zanzhou's view, the role of the Military Intelligence Department cannot be replaced by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Because the Military Intelligence Department will send Fanzi to the areas occupied by the puppet Shun and the puppet Qing Dynasty, spy on the intelligence and send it back to the southern capital in time.

Over time, the inner factory will inevitably overpower the Jinyiwei of the East Factory, and the possibility of Han Zanzhou winning the palm seal of the master of ceremonies will also increase greatly.

Of course, Han Zanzhou also knew that the competition between the inner factory and the eastern factory was long-term, and out of consideration of checks and balances, the Son of Heaven would not appoint a eunuch with a palm seal until the last moment. All Han Zanzhou can do is to fulfill his duties and do his job well, as for who will be the eunuch in charge of the final seal, it will be up to the Son of Heaven to decide.

But at the moment, there is an extremely important thing that Han Zanzhou needs to do.

The Son of Heaven intended to recruit Wen Anzhi, who was far away in Yiling's hometown, as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and ordered Han Zanzhou to send someone to deliver the decree.

If it is a peaceful year, there is naturally no difficulty, but now Yiling is under the control of Bai Wang, a general under the command of the thief Li Zicheng.

Under such circumstances, it is extremely dangerous to go to Yiling to deliver the decree, and the slightest mistake will lead to capture by the enemy.

Generally speaking, the edict is carried out by eunuchs or civil officials, but this is certainly not possible in this situation.

To pass through enemy-occupied territory, it was necessary to have sufficient physical strength and endurance, which was by no means possible for pampered civil officials and eunuchs.

So Han Chanju decided to give this task to a soldier.

Of course, this soldier now has a new identity, that is, the military intelligence department of the inner factory.

In Han Zanzhou's view, he could take this opportunity to test the feasibility of dispatching military intelligence officers to enemy-occupied areas, because he attached great importance to the selection of personnel, and even personally inquired about them.

After layers of screening, Han Zanzhou finally determined the fan who carried out this mission.

This person's name is Zhou Daoning, who has just turned 30 this year, and is born Kong Wuli, who was previously an ordinary soldier in the Beijing camp.

After learning the news, Zhou Daoning was overjoyed.

He knew very well that the most relied on trust today was the Divine Ce Army that he had personally formed. After the Nanjing Xungui rebellion, the Beijing camp was abolished, and the original Beijing battalion soldiers were scattered and mixed with more than 1,000 people from Huang Degong's Yongwei battalion, and they were under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Originally, he thought that this life would be mixed and waiting to die, but who knew that Han Gonggong suddenly said that he would select a large number of people to form an internal factory, and Zhou Daoning was also selected.

This is nothing, after all, 5,000 out of 6,500 people have been selected.

But after that, Han Gonggong selected one of the 5,000 fans to go to Yiling to deliver the decree, and finally selected Zhou Daoning.

How displeasing this is!

Because we have to go through enemy-occupied territory, the fewer people there are, the better.

Zhou Daoning did not resist carrying out the task alone. Thirty years, he lived for thirty years just to wait for an opportunity.

He wants to prove that he is no worse than others. And now the opportunity has finally made him wait. As long as he can smoothly bring the holy decree to Yiling and bring it to Wen'anzhi, his fate will change!

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning!
