Zhang Jiayu smiled and said: "It's very simple, you go to Ganzhou to find a way to weaken Jin Shenghuan's strength, you know that Jiang Yueguang Jiang is selecting soldiers in Ganzhou, and these people will be handed over to Jin Shenghuan, but His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like Jin Shenghuan's strength is too great." So it's going to be hard Zhao Qianhu, I'll try my best to delay the time here, but I estimate that it can only drag on for half a month, plus the itinerary on the road, 30,000 people will be able to get to Nanchang in a month, and you have to promote Jin Shenghuan in this month anyway! You know? ”

Zhao Mengguan knew that the struggle in the court was fierce, and these immortals should not be involved in the war. Zhao Mengguan didn't dare to ask in detail, and when he heard Zhang Jiayu say this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, the villain will definitely complete the task within a month!" ”

Zhang Jiayu nodded, he was very satisfied with Zhao Mengguan's attitude. Zhu Hongsan's will to him is to weaken Jin Shenghuan's strength, after all, if he hands over these 30,000 people to Jin Shenghuan, he will have nearly 50,000 people in his hands, which is not a small force in Jiangxi, if Zhu Hongsan wants to occupy Jiangxi, he naturally does not want Jin Shenghuan's strength to be so great. However, Zhang Jiayu also received a secret letter from Premier Ma Mingyuan, who meant to simply use the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to directly kill Jin Shenghuan. Because if Jin Shenghuan succeeds anyway, the power of the Donglin Party in the court will increase greatly, and Qian Qianyi is very hopeful of entering the cabinet, but now that the cabinet positions are full, he Qian Qianyi will inevitably squeeze the share of the Huguang faction if he wants to enter the cabinet, so he must let Jin Shenghuan die and let Qian Qianyi lose foreign aid, so as not to threaten the status of the Huguang faction.

Zhang Jiayu was also very entangled when he received Ma Mingyuan's letter, but he couldn't help it, he was now the prince's teacher and had already boarded the Ma family's ship. If the crown prince ascends to the throne in the future, Zhang Jiayu will naturally rise to the top, but the prince and the Ma family are unlucky, and Zhang Jiayu will not get a good result.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jiayu decided to do what Ma Mingyuan said, so he arranged for Zhao Mengguan to urge Jin Shenghuan to go anyway before the reinforcements rushed to Nanchang, and when the time came, Jin Shenghuan's troops were less than those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he could get rid of Jin Shenghuan with the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Mengguan sighed when he came out of the Yamen, he looked at a lot in a month, but it took seven or eight days on the road from Ganzhou to Nanchang, and he was contacting the local Jinyi Wei secret agent to understand the situation, and a month was too tight.

After receiving the order, Zhao Mengguan did not dare to delay, nor did he stop in Ganzhou, and immediately took his thirty people to change their clothes and shaved them into money rat tails, disguised as merchants, and took a boat down the Ganjiang River.

Jinyiwei, a famous spy agency in the Ming Dynasty, was formerly known as the "Gongwei Division" established by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and was later renamed the "Pro-Army Governor's Mansion", which governed the Yiluan Division and was in charge of the emperor's honor guard and guards. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the pro-army Governor's Mansion and Yiluan Division were abolished, and the Jinyi Guard was replaced. As a military institution of the emperor's bodyguard, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to strengthen the centralized rule, specially ordered him to take charge of the prison, gave him the right to inspect and arrest, and set up a pacification department to engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. This is the introduction of Jinyiwei on Baidu in later generations, people remember the brutality of Jinyiwei when discussing Jinyiwei, but forget the contribution of Jinyiwei to the Ming Dynasty. As a military organization, Jinyiwei also participated in the work of collecting military information and countering enemy generals, such as collecting a large number of Japanese military information in the Wanli Korean War, which contributed to the Ming Dynasty's ability to win the War of Resistance against Japan and Aid Korea.

And Zhu Hongsan, as an emperor who aspires to restore the Ming Dynasty, naturally knows the benefits of Jinyiwei, so he let his cronies Qian Lide reorganize Jinyiwei as soon as he came to Guangdong, and after Zhu Hongsan became emperor, he even made a big show to incorporate the Jinyiwei personnel of the Ming Dynasty in various prefectures and counties in Guangdong. However, Zhu Hongsan also knew that Jinyiwei was a double-edged sword, and at the same time as giving Jinyiwei the rights, Zhu Hongsan cut Jinyiwei's edict, and stipulated that Jinyiwei only had the right to report secrets and not the right to arrest. Under Zhu Hongsan's rectification, the new-style Jinyi Wei took on a new look, which was somewhat similar to the CIA of the later US imperialists, and completely lost its internal functions.

However, this is not that Zhu Hongsan is ready to give up the supervision of hundreds of officials, this function is handed over to the more notorious secret service Dongchang. And the Dongchang monitoring list also includes Jinyiwei, coupled with Zhu Hongsan's deliberate provocation, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have completely become mortal enemies, completely with you without me, and the fight is between you and me.

Just when Zhao Mengguan was about to get on the boat and go to Nanchang, Qian Liu in the team whispered: "Lord Qianhu, look over there!" ”

Zhao Mengguan turned his head to see that a group of people not far away were also on the boat, and a closer look was Luo Qifeng, the commander of the East Factory.

Luo Qifeng was originally a native of Nanzhili, and in Nanjing, he was one of the hundred households of Fusi in Jinyi Weinan Town. After the city of Nanjing was broken, Luo Qifeng was unwilling to serve the Manchus and fled to Guangdong with his family.

After arriving in Guangdong, he happened to meet Cao Fang, the governor of Dongchang Factory, recruiting troops and buying horses, Luo Qifeng originally wanted to take refuge in Jinyiwei, after all, he was an old business, but he didn't expect that Jinyiwei had become a system of its own at this time, and there was no place for outsiders like Luo Qifeng. Luo Qifeng went to vote for Cao Fang in a fit of anger, and the East Factory was being created at that time, and there were only three or two kittens. As a professional, Luo Qifeng's arrival made Cao Fang overjoyed, and immediately appointed Luo Qifeng as the head of a thousand households, which is the largest official position that a normal person can be in the East Factory except for eunuchs.

Cao Fang's appreciation moved Luo Qifeng very much, and devoted himself to his work. As the anti-bone boy of Jinyiwei, Luo Qifeng knows Jinyiwei's dirty things very well, under the leadership of Luo Qifeng, Dongchang investigated and dealt with several Jinyiwei who knew the law and broke the law, so that Cao Fang was very long-faced in front of the emperor, but Jinyiwei hated Luo Qifeng to death.

At the same time that Zhao Mengguan saw Luo Qifeng, Luo Qifeng also saw Zhao Mengguan.

Seeing his old opponent Luo Qifeng coming over with a smile, he arched his hand and asked: "It turned out to be Zhao Qianhu, I don't know if I went to Nanchang, if you stop by, you can go with Lao Luo and me!" ”

Zhao Mengguan saw Luo Qifeng coming over, and asked in a low voice, "Luo Qianhu, what are you doing in Nanchang?" Isn't Dongchang not allowed to go out of Guangdong? ”

"Zhao Qianhu is wrong, we have the emperor's holy decree, ordering us Dongchang to go to Nanchang to monitor your Jinyiwei's actions, after all, I know exactly what kind of waste you Jinyiwei are!"

"Fart, Luo Qifeng, have you forgotten what you used to do? If you want to go to Nanchang this time, you don't have any hope! ”

"Haha, then we'll see!" After Luo Qifeng finished speaking, he returned to his team and got on the boat and set off.

Zhao Mengguan saw Luo Qifeng leaving, and scolded in his heart, this trip to Nanchang does not seem to be simple, and there are these Dongchang stirring sticks in the task.

Zhao Mengguan did not dare to delay time, and immediately rushed to Nanchang after getting on the ship. After a journey of seven or eight days, Zhao Mengguan and others finally arrived in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province on 18 June.

Unlike Fujian's Jinyiwei secret agent, Nanchang's contact person is in the city. Jinyi Weijiang Qianhu is Ma Yu, and when Zhu Hongsan was in Wuchang, Ma Yu was the person in charge of the Ma family merchants in Nanchang. After Zhu Hongsan fled to Guangdong, the order given to him was to stay and wait for the opportunity, plus Nanchang, Jiangxi was not affected by any military disasters, and Ma Yu was very prosperous in Nanchang. After Qian Lide reorganized Jinyiwei, Ma Yu was also transferred to Jinyiwei and became a thousand-household detective.

Zhao Mengguan and others got off the ship at the Shuiguan wharf in Nanchang, and now the situation in Jiangxi is becoming increasingly tense, and there are many fewer merchants coming to Nanchang. The once bustling Shuiguan Wharf has also become deserted.

Zhao Mengguan had already ordered to go down on the boat, there were too many people, everyone should divide into several groups and enter the city, and gather in the old store of the Ma family in the south city.

In a group with Zhao Mengguan is Qian Liu and other five people, Qian Liu followed Zhao Mengguan in Dongguan, and can be regarded as his henchmen.

After the five people came ashore, they came to the Nanchang City Gate, and the gate was guarded by more than a dozen Qing soldiers. One of the small leaders stopped the five men and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Qian Liu hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Master Jun, we are merchants from Guangdong, trafficking in some salt and snow sugar!" ”

"Where's your cargo?"

"It's all on the boat in the back!"

The little leader looked at the cargo ship on the dock and said, "Governor Zhang, Lord Zhang, has an order that all salt will be confiscated!" ”

Qian Liu was stunned and asked, "Why?" It's our life! ”

The little boss was impatient and scolded: "Your mother, I don't care what life you don't have, what Lao Tzu said is the law!" ”

Zhao Mengguan hurriedly stepped forward and took out two taels of silver, stuffed it into the little leader's hand, and asked, "Please ask the military master to buy tea and drink these silvers, but the villain just asks, why did you confiscate our salt!" ”

The little boss touched the silver and said with a smile: "You guy knows the current affairs, Uncle Ben will tell you, the governor Yamen has an order to prepare for a war with the Ming army in Guangdong, and salt is only allowed to enter and exit as a military substance!" Seeing that you are sensible, you go to the governor's yamen to report the ship number, and I can give you some compensation! ”

It turned out that the Qing army began to prepare materials. Zhao Mengguan hurriedly thanked the little leader and led a few people into the city.

When I entered Nanchang City, I found that the city was deserted a lot, probably because the residents of the city were not aware of it and went out of the city to take refuge for a while.

Zhao Mengguan and others inquired about the location of the old store of the Ma family in Nancheng and rushed directly to the contact point.

Majia Laodian is a relatively large inn in Nancheng, and Zhao Mengguan and others are easy to find. When he came to the door, Qian Liu stepped forward to make an incision, and the shopkeeper was also a person from Jinyiwei, so he came to Zhao Mengguan and whispered: "My subordinates greet Lord Qianhu, please enter the inn and wait, I have already informed Ma Qianhu that he will be able to come in a while!" ”

Zhao Mengguan nodded and said in a low voice: "We have a total of thirty people, they will arrive in batches in a while, you can receive it!" After speaking, he entered the inn to rest.

Zhao Mengguan waited for a quarter of an hour, and Ma Yu, a thousand households in Jinyi Weijiangxi, rushed to see Zhao Mengguan hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Jinyi Wei Jiangxi Qianhu Ma Yu, I've seen adults!"

Zhao Mengguan nodded and said, "This official is Zhao Mengguan of the Eight Outer Thousand Households, and I have seen Ma Qianhu!" ”
