Just when Zhao Hu was tossed by Wang Jinbao and Xu Guansan in Yong'an Prefecture, Zhu Hongsan in Dongguan was also in a situation where life was worse than death. It's not that someone dares to make King Chu's life worse than death, but Zhu Hongsan is so busy that life is worse than death.

Now that all the government affairs have been handed over to Ma Mingyuan, they are doing a good job, and Zhu Hongsan can rest assured. The army has now formed a tradition, and the training of recruits, the manufacture of equipment, and the training of officers are no longer necessary for Zhu Hong. It's just that this intelligence is too involved in Zhu Hongsan's energy.

Qian Lide was a capable person, and the intelligence network north of the Yangtze River was set up very quickly, and in half a year, basically every prefecture and city had intelligence officers, and a large amount of information about the Manchu Qing and Li Chuang came.

But Qian Lide is not a good intelligence analyst at all, and all kinds of intelligence are mixed. One piece of information said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had sent Duoduo to lead troops south, and the second said that Duoduo had not yet left Beijing, which made Zhu Hongsan very headache. Angry, he called Qian Lide over and scolded him.

Qian Lide is also very aggrieved, and his subordinates are really short of people. Now his identity is not correct, and he can't communicate with the local Jinyiwei network at all, and he can only collect intelligence with the help of the former Ma family's shop, which is really inefficient, and the error rate is still very high.

Zhu Hongsan also knew that he couldn't complain about Qian Lide, this guy was just a small businessman before, and it was good to be able to make the intelligence network like this, after all, the intelligence area is still relatively professional.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Qian Lide, who bowed his head and was silent, and asked, "Qian Fatty, what can you do?" ”

"Lord Wang, there is no way for your subordinates. There is really a shortage of talents in this area, and the few Jinyi Wei 100 households obtained from Guangdong are only low-level officers, and they don't know how the high-level operates. ”

This is a problem, it seems that the intelligence network cannot be built overnight, but this intelligence analysis must be done well, or you will have to die of exhaustion.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Qian Lide, this guy can't do it, now he has too much power in his hands, and he can't be used for this job. Zhu Hongsan saw Zhang Jiayu recorded on the side, this is a personal choice, and he has ability and loyalty.

Zhu Hongsan said: "Yuanzi, how about handing over this intelligence analysis work to you?" ”

Zhang Jiayu stood up and said, "Lord Wang, I don't understand this." ”

"Simple, you first go to one or twenty scholars, divide the world by provinces, several people in one province, and each person is responsible for the intelligence of several prefectures. After the finishing is completed, you will summarize it, and the major military information will be handed over to this king to deal with, and you can handle some other simple information by yourself. ”

This is to divide half of Qian Lide's rights, Qian Lide is very unhappy, but there is no way.

Zhang Jiayu knew that the emperors of previous dynasties were all managed by absolute cronies, and the fact that the king of Chu could delegate himself to manage this also proved that he had won the absolute trust of the king of Chu.

Zhang Jiayu is very famous, where can he let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates will live up to the trust of the King of Chu." ”

Zhu Hongsan saw Zhang Jiayu agree, thought about what to name this new organization, and suddenly thought of the famous name in history, and blurted out: "This organization is called the Military Aircraft Department." ”

Zhu Hongsan saw Qian Lide's reluctance on his face, and felt that this fat man Qian had too much power in his hands now, and it was not enough for only Zhang Jiayu to contain him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan called his family outside and called Cao Fang, the eunuch in the backyard.

After Cao Fang came in for a while, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said, "The slave has asked the master to say goodbye, I don't know what the master has to tell the slave to come?" ”

"Cao Fang, what did you do in the palace before?"

"The minions work in the direct palace prison."

By the way, forget that he pours the toilet. Zhu Hongsan then asked, "Cao Fang, do you know anything about the East Factory?" ”

Hearing Zhu Hongsan ask, Cao Fang's whole body trembled, he knew that his opportunity had come. When he came to Dongguan, he completely saw Zhu Hongsan's strength, and felt more and more that Zhu Hongsan was going to follow the old path of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in the future.

Cao Fang knelt down and said: "The prince is a thousand years old, the slave has been by Cao Huachun's side before the direct palace eunuch, and he is very familiar with the duties of the East Factory. ”

"Okay, I'll give you a task, select personnel, and get ready to start from Jiandong Factory. But don't make a big fuss, take your time in secret, you know? ”

Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, Cao Fang was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again.

Zhu Hongsan thought about it again, and felt that the power of Dongchang was too great before, and the right to arrest Dongchang should be withdrawn, and only the right to supervise hundreds of officials should be given to them. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan said: "Cao Fang, you only have the right to supervise hundreds of officials, and it is strictly forbidden to arrest people without the king's handwritten warrant, do you know?" ”

Cao Fang nodded again and again, the power of supervising hundreds of officials is already very great, and the rest will be talked about slowly. In the future, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will definitely think of the benefits of Dongchang, and when the time comes, it will be a matter of course to restore the authority of Dongchang.

Zhang Jiayu watched Zhu Hongsan release the monster of Dongchang from the side, and felt cold hairs standing on end. He is a serious literati doctor, and he is born with two opposite sides of the eunuch and Dongchang.

After Zhang Jiayu saw Cao Fang go out, he stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, it's not appropriate to restart the East Factory, right?" ”

Zhu Hongsan's already set policy is so easy to change, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said: "Yuanzi, don't worry, I only gave them the right to supervise, and it won't have a big impact." ”

Zhang Jiayu didn't believe that these dead eunuchs could honestly carry out the right of supervision, and was just about to persuade Zhu Hongsan. Unexpectedly, Zhu Hongsan raised his hand and said: "Yuanzi, don't talk about this matter anymore, you sort out the information first, I want to see it." ”

Zhang Jiayu thought about it, he was a small person, he still had a chance to tell Ma Mingyuan about this matter, and let him call the shots. Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayu began to concentrate on analyzing the information sent by Qian Lide.

Zhang Jiayu's efficiency was very high, and the analysis was completed after half an hour, and the important and unimportant were divided into two pieces of paper and handed over to Zhu Hongsan.

There are only a few important ones, and the most important one is the expansion of the plague in Beijing, and there is no more food and grass in the city. Zhang Jiayu's annotation below is to pay attention to the southward movement of the Manchu Dynasty.

This information came out in November of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and it is now January 17 of the first year of Hongguang, which means that this is the information from two months ago. But there is no way, the north-south journey is too far, and the news has reached Guangdong in two months.

Zhu Hongsan estimated that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already gone south, and it seemed that it was not necessarily a good thing to burn all the grain at that time.

Several others were news of the Manchu staking of land, and civil unrest began to appear in various parts of the north. This is an opportunity, Zhu Hongsan wrote below, ordering the local intelligence agencies to have appropriate access to the local anti-Qing forces and to provide them with some weapons.
