Chapter 370: Spy Domination
The order to Jin Shenghuan to hand over the Japanese slaves was then sent from the communication station to Wuchang, and then the Wuchang Metropolitan Department sent people north to Xiangyang.
Of course, Jin Shenghuan will not refuse.
Although he coveted the flintlock pistols in the hands of those Japanese slaves, he also knew that he couldn't upset Yang Qing at this time no matter what, since Yang Qing asked for someone, he had to give it quickly. The 3,000 Japanese slaves were soon escorted south on ships in Xiangyang, and then they were forcibly disarmed by Gan Hui and Jiao Wenyu in Yicheng, but there was a skirmish between the two sides due to language barriers, but it was finally explained by a few Cantonese merchants......
In fact, it was Gan Hui who vented his anger.
After all, he has been tricked by Shui Tailiang and others several times along the way, and he needs a punching bag, and these Japanese slaves are undoubtedly very suitable for him.
Of course, this is just a small thing.
In short, the remaining 2,500 Japanese slaves were disarmed, and then re-boarded the ship and escorted to Wuchang by the Ming army, and as for the other 500, they were to go to Wuchang in the belly of the Han River by another means of transport. However, Gan Hui and his subordinates had to go east to Fu Domain, after all, their mission had not yet been completed, and they still had to go to Huoqiu to continue to protect the Holy Driver.
But it's basically impossible for them to do things anymore.
In fact, Yang Xin has been recalled to Nanjing.
And Gan Hui has also been demoted from a commander to a soldier because of his poor escort, but the person who replaced him has not yet arrived, so he temporarily acts as the commander, and when the replacement arrives, he will also be recalled to Nanjing and then report to the front line of Guangxi to suppress bandits.
This is also an important reason why he threw 500 Japanese slaves into the Han River out of anger.
Of course, no one cares about him.
At this time, Nanjing had already fallen into a dark tide because of the news of the emperor's arrival in the Fu Domain......
"God bless the Ming!"
On the painting boat of Qinhuai River, Jiang Xizhen raised his glass and shouted excitedly.
"God bless the Ming!"
The showmen sitting together raised their glasses and shouted.
The musicians around them continued to play, several prostitutes looked at them with smiles like flowers, and the boat was slowly sailing past the Zhenhuai Bridge, and on the streets on the bank of the river, a large group of green insects were holding banners and cheering past......
It's like beating chicken blood!
"Your Majesty is still too cautious, why should you continue to stay in the Fu Domain, who would dare to stop you in the southern capital with great righteousness?"
A fellow showman said.
"That person is in power after all, His Majesty summoned the civil and military generals to gather in the central capital with a holy decree, in order to sacrifice the emperor's mausoleum and the emperor's throne, and first clarify the distinction between the monarch and the minister, so that the civil and military officials know where the righteousness is, then the difference between obedience and disobedience has been divided, even if that person wants to do something different, he is just a chaotic minister and thief after all!"
Another old man said.
"I'm afraid that he will do something, Nanjing is not his world!"
A showman said proudly.
It's clear they've swelled.
And Jiang Xizhe smiled with a wine glass and didn't say a word, just quietly watched them pretending to be forced, saying that he had already passed the realm of this kind of pretending, as the secret hero of the car, what was waiting for him would be the future of Feihuang Tengda. Even his name had already been included in the list of reused by the Son of Longxing at this time, and he had already gotten rid of the low-level fun of this kind of showman's daily pretence, and rose to the realm where he could quietly watch them pretend to be coerced.
"Brother Erbin, is the people in the north really as rumored?"
A showman asked.
"Brother Chen is cautious!"
Another Xiucai hurriedly said.
"Brother He is too careful, right? Come, Ruhua, are you Jinyiwei's secret agent? ”
A Xiucai hugged the prostitute next to him and smiled.
"Childe, what are you all talking about? Why can't the slave family understand at all? Childe said that the slave family is a spy of Jinyiwei? Should the slave family be honest with the son to show his innocence? ”
The prostitute said with a smile.
"Well, let's be honest with each other when the table is over!"
Na Xiucai touched her pretty face and said.
"Whether the people in the north are boring, what does it have to do with me in the south of the Yangtze River? But if you really want to be fair, then Dolgon is also considered a corporal Lixian, otherwise why would Chen Mingxia use his talent to explore flowers to serve him? As for the famine disaster, this is not something that can be recovered by manpower, and the north may not be as good as it is today at the time of the first emperor. Dolgon's body can respect the name of the religion, worship the saints, and the corporal of the sage, and can also be compared to the likes of Yelu Hongji Wanyan Yong, although that person regards him as the flow of Yidi beasts, but in terms of virtue, this Yidi beasts are much stronger than him! Of course, Hu Lu is Hu Lu after all, after His Majesty returns to the capital, if he still does not know the mandate of heaven and resists His Majesty, it is nothing more than a famous minister who will follow the example of King Zhongshan and go straight to the northern capital! ”
Jiang Xizhen said indifferently.
"Maybe it was the time for my generation to make a difference!"
A showman said with great ambition.
"Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis! ”
The one who hugged Ruhua shouted excitedly.
"Childe, don't forget the slave family after you are the marquis of ten thousand households!"
Ruhua said coquettishly.
"Childe, you can't forget the slave family!"
"Childe, the slave family can wait for you!"
……
Then several other prostitutes pulled Xiucai next to them and said, and for a while, the banquet was full of spring, and even the little beauty in Jiang Xizhe's arms put a wine glass to his mouth. Those who are accustomed to this kind of life have started one after another, laughter, coquettish sounds, and even coquettish panting make this painting boat seem to be filled with pink mist, in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, in the summer flowers on both sides of the Qinhuai River slowly moving forward.
A fast horse on the shore suddenly stopped.
"Will you know that Jiang Gongzi can be on the boat?"
The man on the horse shouted.
Jiang Xizhen hurriedly pushed away the prostitute in his arms, and then poked his head out to look out.
"My son-in-law is here, who are you?"
His little scholar said.
"Jiang Gongzi, the small one is from the Yansheng Mansion, and the Yansheng Gong has something to ask the son to go and talk about it!"
The man said.
"Stop the boat ahead!"
Jiang Xizhen said immediately.
Yan Shenggong invited him over should have wanted him to accompany him to Huoqiu, and the Yingjia Association organized an audience group headed by Yan Shenggong, several old ministers were preparing to leave to meet the emperor, and there must be a few young handsome people, as a disciple of Liu Zongzhou, it is normal for him to be among them. In addition, it is estimated that he also wants to recommend him to the emperor, after all, as a lifter, he already has the qualifications to be an official, and several main members of the Datong Society now have official positions, and those like him who risk his life to send Japanese slaves to the north must also have official positions.
Immediately after the painting boat landed in front of him, and after putting down the gangplank, he walked down with the little scholar under the envious eyes of those talents.
A taxi came by with a good eye.
Jiang Xizhe boarded the carriage, the little scholar stood behind the carriage, the man followed on horseback, and the group went straight to the Yansheng Mansion, but soon the carriage left the street and entered a side alley......
"Where is this?"
Jiang Xizhen asked suspiciously.
Of course, he knew where the Yansheng Mansion was, but this road was obviously not to the Yansheng Mansion.
"Hui Gongzi, there is a parade blocking the road ahead!"
The coachman said.
The man on horseback next to him also nodded.
Jiang Xizhen is also relieved, although the security in Nanjing City is good, it does not mean that it is completely relieved, especially for them like them, it is not news that they were stolen and robbed in Nanjing City. A month ago, there were two unlucky goods from Jiangxi who were almost abducted by Lian Ren, if someone hadn't seen the police, it was estimated that they would not have known which coal kiln they were stuffed into at this time. Because of the rapid development of the coal industry, those black-hearted mine owners are unscrupulously searching for cheap labor, including illegal means, and Nanjing residents and out-of-town residents basically have a perfect armor protection system or Huangzhuang system, which is very difficult to start.
But these green worms are different.
They belong to the floating population, and there is no household registration management in Nanjing, at most with local guilds as the core, but in fact, this management is very chaotic, even if one is secretly kidnapped, no one knows about it.
The two were saved.
As for whether there were any who were not saved, it is really difficult to know, but based on the proficiency of those kidnappers, we know that they must have done it more than once, which means that it is likely that there is a certain Xiucai digging coal while crying in a small coal kiln nearby.
Jiang Xizhen sat in the carriage and continued to move forward.
"Young Master, this is not going to the Yansheng Mansion!"
The little scholar in the back suddenly exclaimed.
Jiang Xizhen hurriedly pushed open the side door, and at the same time the carriage stopped, there was a secluded alley outside, it was already evening at this time, it was drizzling outside, the whole alley was dark and silent, he pulled out his short sword with great speed, and then jumped straight out of the carriage. At this time, the coachman also got out of the car, including the man who called them, and looked at him with a smile, and the boy very faithfully jumped down and smashed the coachman with a backpack, and the latter knocked him on the back of the head with a short gun in his hand, and the unlucky boy fell to the ground immediately afterwards.
Jiang Xizhen ran away.
"Help!"
He shouted as he ran.
The two men followed closely.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Xizhen ran to the front alley, and then the two people inside walked out, and he almost crashed into the arms of the person in front of him, and the latter quickly snatched the short sword in his hand.
"Help, there are robbers!"
Jiang Xizhen said as if he saw a savior.
The man flashed to the side, and then the man behind him stepped forward with a pocket, and before Jiang Xizhen could react, he put down the hood, and at the same time, the coachman who caught up behind took out a small glass bottle from his arms, opened the lid casually, and threw it up from the bottom of the bag. The moment he threw it in, the bag also reached the ground, he and the person opposite reached out at the same time to grab Jiang Xizhe's legs and lifted it, just as Jiang Xizhe fell down with a scream, he grabbed a thin rope at the mouth of the bag and pulled it hard, and the mouth of the bag was immediately tightened on Jiang Xizhe's ankle.
The two of them lifted up one after the other and threw Jiang Xizhe, who was already unconscious, into the carriage.
The man on horseback lifted the little scholar and threw it in.
He also took out a small glass bottle from his arms, opened the lid, covered it with a hand towel, poured something, then held his breath, and threw the hand towel on the scholar's face......
"Let's go!"
He said, putting away the vial.
Then he turned over and got on his horse, and the carriage moved quickly, and the other two went to check the neighborhood separately to make sure that there were no remnants or witnesses, and then they walked out of the alley and merged into the twilight street, and by this time the carriage had already driven into the wolf's den of Fusi in the town of Jinyi Weibei......
