The man's name is Fu Younian, and he is a relative of the traitor Fu Shangrui, and he was implicated because of Fu Shangrui's relationship, and his life was originally very poor.

Duoduo took Fu Shangrui's family out of Huguang, and the main personnel were sent to Beijing, and these side branches, who were not taken away by the Qing army, fell into blood mold, were confiscated by the imperial court, and became homeless and unemployed.

Because of the problem of reputation, the local squires did not hire them, so Fu Younian brought several children of the Fu family to Nanjing to make a living. Fortunately, at this time, the road guidance system of the Ming Dynasty was basically abandoned, and he changed his name, so that no one knew that they were relatives of the criminal officials, so several people used fake names to work as coolies at the docks.

The Fu family was originally a big family, and Fu Younian was also a pampered person, and it can be said that he suffered a lot on the dock, but the money was not much, and he still needed to send it to his family, and he had problems with two meals a day, and his life was very difficult.

At this time, the son of Fu Shangrui, who was brought to the north by the Qing army, suddenly returned to the south secretly, first went to Huguang to find the Fu family who was scattered and changed his surname, and then went to Nanjing, found Fu Younian, gave him gold and silver, helped him build a workshop in Nanjing, became a new small workshop owner, and at the same time developed him into a secret agent of the Qing court in the Ming Dynasty.

Fu Younian relied on his memory to draw two bronze rapid-fire cannons pulled by healthy horses, the costumes of the Ming soldiers, and the formation diagram of the drill, and explained the number of the troops who came to participate in the exercise, and hurried out.

Nowadays, the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Jin tripartite truce, but everyone knows that this is only a short break, the Ming Dynasty needs to digest Huainan, Sichuan and Yunnan, enrich the empty treasury, Jin and Qing lick the wounds, once one of the parties first eases up, the war may start again at any time.

In the north under the control of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with a population of less than 20 million and an economically depressed economy, Dolgon was very wary of the Ming Dynasty in the south, and never gave up the monitoring of the Ming Dynasty, and sent many secret agents to the south to spy on the intelligence of the Ming Dynasty.

The economy of the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and Nanjing was at its peak, and it was the most populous city in the world, which was difficult for the West to reach.

Because of the large population of the city, it has given birth to developed restaurants and tea shops, and there are many places for people in the city to eat and drink.

With trade, the vassal states of Champa and Nanyang sent a large amount of goods to the Ming Dynasty, and the prices were not high, which made the residents of the city happy to eat and drink outside, and promoted the prosperity of Nanjing.

In the west of Nanjing, on a street not far from the Qinhuai River, there are several restaurants, which are not as prosperous as the Qinhuai River, and are the places where prostitutes who sell meat gather, and there are a lot of messy shops in them, so some fish and dragons are mixed.

On this street, there is a small restaurant, named Changbai Lou, which was an intelligence point of the Manchu Qing in the city.

Fu Younian hurriedly came to the restaurant, and the bartender at the door nodded slightly when he saw him, and then shouted loudly: "An old guest!" ”

"Your Excellency has been waiting in the inner room for a long time!" Seeing that there was no one left and right, the bartender approached and whispered, then shook the towel on his shoulder, led Fu Younian into the restaurant, and walked directly through the lobby into the inner room.

Fu Younian opened the curtain and walked into a room, where a man in his twenties was sitting, drinking unhurriedly, and the table was full of wine and food.

When the man saw Fu Younian walking in, he raised his eyebrows, "Brother, why did you come?" ”

Fu Younian sat down opposite him without saying a word, if he hadn't had a difficult life, he wouldn't have been on the ship of the Qing court.

"How?" The man's name is Fu Youchun is Fu Shangrui's second son, and now he is serving the Qing court, he saw that Fu Younian did not speak, and took the initiative to ask.

Fu Younian exhaled in his nose and was silent for a while before he spoke: "See, I heard that the Ming Dynasty is making new artillery suitable for field warfare, it may be like this, I drew it with the image, but how good the performance is, it still needs to be monitored!" ”

As he spoke, he put the drawings he had drawn at home on the table, Fu Youchun took it and opened it, looked at it carefully, the things drawn on a few drawings, and the notes, and hurriedly put the drawings together.

"The autumn exercise of the Ming army will be carried out for half a month, and it will definitely try the artillery, my brother must pay close attention, and the regent is very attentive to the progress of the Ming army in terms of firearms." Fu Youchun paused, and then continued: "The detailed work that was developed in the Ming Dynasty Ordnance Supervision before has suddenly lost news recently, and it is estimated that it was taken away by Jinyiwei. It may not be easy for us to get the drawings and qualifications of the Ming army's cannon casting, and we can only pay attention to the Ming army's drills at the moment. ”

"What did Jinyiwei find?" Fu Younian's face turned pale.

Fu Youchun smiled slightly when he saw it, "Brother, don't worry, the person in charge of liaison, along with the drawings of the self-made firecracker, has been sent back to Beijing by me, and Jinyi Wei can't find me here." ”

The year before last, the Yangzhou War, Duoduo had a very deep impression of the Ming army's self-generated firearms, and after he went back, it was like Dolgon reflecting the Ming Dynasty's firearms innovation.

In the past, the Manchu Qing could still boast that the warriors of the Eight Banners were unparalleled in riding and shooting, and they were disdainful of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, but now that they were defeated and retreated to the north of the Huai River, Dolgon had to pay attention to the firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

After Dordo reacted to the incident, Dolgon sent four or five waves of spies south to steal the drawings and materials of the Ming Dynasty's firearms production, and sold Ming officials at a large price.

Although the Ming Dynasty was tightly defended and caught three waves, there were still people who were corrupted and sold the information to the Manchus.

At present, the Ming Dynasty has a developed economy, and the development of the economy needs a relatively relaxed environment, Jinyiwei can not check and arrest people every day, in addition, the Ming Dynasty's household registration system has been impacted, the road introduction system is even more like a fictitious, there are hundreds of thousands of outsiders in Nanjing who come to beg for a living, which greatly increases the work intensity of Jinyiwei, making Jinyiwei a little powerless.

However, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty obtained the information on self-generated firearms and wanted to produce them like the Ming Dynasty, that was another matter.

The self-made fire gun was invented in the eighth year of Chongzhen, and it has been nearly 20 years since today, Wang Yan decided to make the self-made fire gun, and it took nearly five years for the manufacturing technology and process to be close to maturity.

The Manchus got the drawings and materials, which could only make them take fewer detours, but if they wanted to create their own guns to assemble the army, it was estimated that they would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Fu Younian heard that the people and drawings were sent away, and nodded slightly, as long as Fu Youchun was not arrested, he should not be in danger, but he was still a little worried, after all, Jinyiwei was famous, "In the past two months, several strongholds outside the city have been destroyed by the Ming army, and Jinyiwei seems to have made a big move, so I won't be here these days." ”

"Brother, don't be so careful!" Fu Youchun listened but said: "I asked someone to inquire, Jinyiwei didn't seem to target us when he shot at those strongholds, it seems that they themselves eat dogs, and then check that Jin Huamin became the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

"It's better to be careful! My family is all in Huguang, I can't have an accident! After speaking, Fu Younian stood up and prepared to leave.

Fu Youchun hurriedly said: "Brother stay a little longer!" ”

"What else?"

"A good thing!" Fu Youchun suddenly got up, took a burden from a stool, pushed it to Fu Younian, and said with a smile: "Brother's current workshop is too small, and the level of people he can contact is too low, so it is difficult to obtain useful information for the Qing Dynasty. Here are 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and the big boss hopes that you can expand the workshop, establish a business, make friends with the high-level of the Ming Dynasty, and send materials to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Fu Younian was taken aback when he heard this, sat down again, and opened the bag a little timidly, and saw a thick stack of silver tickets with a quota of one hundred taels inside.

Fu Youchun on the side continued: "Don't take out these silver brothers at once, although there are not a few people who get rich in the Ming Dynasty, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. ”
