Chapter 21 Don't be a prince of the two dynasties
"Under the artificial, I have seen Mr. Mingbi (Wei Geng's name wall)."
Gan Yu looked at Wei Geng, and secretly wondered in his heart that Wang Junmen was really powerful, and he could find so many anti-Qing righteous people in Shaoxing, the hinterland of Zhejiang.
In the past few days of secret investigation, Gan Yu has determined that there is a loose secret organization around Wei Geng and the Qi brothers, and most of the core members are the children of local officials and eunuchs in Zhejiang, and there are at least thirty or forty people. They are mainly distributed in the four counties of Shanyin, Xiaoshan, Huiji, and Shangyu, among which the Shanyin Qi clan, the Shanyin Zhu clan, the Shanyin Wu clan, the Baiyang Zhu clan, and the Xiaoshan Li clan have the greatest energy.
"Mr. Yu's name is so weird, it should be a pseudonym, right? Are there any other convenient names? Wei Geng acted carefully and reacted quickly, and immediately noticed the peculiarity of the name Artificial.
"My name is Gan Yu in front of outsiders, and you can call me that. This is a gift from my Wang Junmen, ten multi-functional jumping knives, five special short-handled firearms, five hundred rounds of lead, ten powerful hand crossbows, thirty bottles of secret writing potions, and fifteen sets of code books......"
There was a rattan box on the table, and Gan Yu reached out to open it, took out the contents one by one, and showed them to Wei Geng one by one.
Wei Geng took a cylindrical metal object, saw that the decoration on the surface was like a paperweight, and pressed the mechanism according to Gan Yu's demonstration, only to hear a snap, and a sharp blade suddenly jumped out in front of him, more than four inches long, and the cold light flickered.
"This thing is convenient to hide on your body, not just a short knife. In turn, it can also be used as a saw, digging, stabbing, prying, and filing can be ......"
Without waiting for Gan Yu to finish his introduction, Qi Bansun next to him snatched the jumping knife over. He was a seventeen-year-old boy who liked these novelties the most, and he couldn't put them down with a jumping knife.
"This stuff is so good! When you run into a Tartar soldier again, you suddenly touch it out and give it to him, and you are guaranteed to kill him with a knife! ”
"It's best to kill people with firearms, no matter how high your martial arts are. One shot can take him out. Wei Geng picked up the short-handled firearm and showed them how to load it, but a poetry meeting was being held in the front yard. There are too many outsiders, and it is inconvenient to test launch now.
"This guy is too big to carry." Qi Bansun couldn't look down on the clumsy short-handled firearm, so he picked up a crossbow and studied it. Gan Yu helped him load his crossbow arrows. According to the motive, only the sound of the bow was heard, and the sharp crossbow arrow shot into the pillar for half an inch, and the tail was still trembling.
"That's amazing! We are all weak scholars, and we can't beat those fierce Tartar soldiers with knives and guns, but this crossbow is the most practical. "This kind of powerful hand crossbow is definitely a controlled weapon, and it is usually difficult to obtain, and the eyes of Wei Geng and Qi Bansun both glowed with excitement.
The two of them went back and tried the firecrackle again. Will definitely be more satisfied. ”
Gan Yu smiled and took a bald pen from the pen holder. In turn, he dipped the pen in some secret writing potion, wrote and drew on the white paper, and then took out another bottle of potion, and carefully wiped it on the white paper, gradually revealing a line of handwriting.
Wei Geng and Qi Bansun were dumbfounded.
"I once heard that there is a method of secret writing, soaking it in water can show the handwriting, quickly draw water to try it" Wei Geng wrote a line ......of words with medicinal solution, found water to soak in it, but there was no response for a long time.
"You're talking about alum, the secrecy is too low, and we've eliminated it. Our latest cipherwriting potion requires a matching development potion to see the handwriting. Gan Yu picked up the codebook again and explained: "It's not safe to use only this potion, it's best to use it with the codebook, the password is changed every month, if necessary, I can also teach you how to write a password......
It's so professional! Wei Geng muttered: "This is war, this is spy war, we used to be child's play!" ”
Gan Yu Zhengse said: "What Mr. Mingbi said is not right, tools can only play an auxiliary role, and when these weapons are really used, it means that the situation is already very strict." The key to spy warfare is to deal with people, first of all, we must pay attention to protecting ourselves, only strict discipline and strict organizational forms are the most reliable, we have a special booklet about these things, Mr. Mingbi try to take a look, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me......"
The underground organization of Wei Geng and others was too primitive, lacked a self-protection mechanism and the ability to deal with risks, and was a very loose secret political group that was only maintained by ideology, morality, and friendship, and had no rules, programs, discipline, and organizational binding force. In response to their actual situation, the Chu Army Intelligence Bureau prepared a work instruction manual, which standardized and improved many processes.
Those weapons and tools just now certainly opened the eyes of Wei Geng and Qi Bansun, and after hearing Gan Yu's explanation, it really touched their psychology. All the qiē in spy warfare, as long as you can think of it, this thin booklet has a clear process explanation, and you can avoid most of the risks by doing it, and what kind of response method to take in case of unexpected situations, and the pros and cons are also clearly analyzed.
In Wang Kefan's plan to conquer Zhejiang, Shanyin Qi's residence is an important chess piece, in addition to collecting all kinds of intelligence, it is also necessary to use Guò as a springboard to strengthen the connection with Zheng Chenggong. You must know that tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Chu army rushed to the beach, all relying on Zheng Chenggong to supplement the military rations, and if something goes wrong, it will be a fatal thing.
Gan Yu spoke carefully, Wei Geng and Qi Bansun listened carefully, and time passed unconsciously, and suddenly someone was knocking on the door outside, and the sound was urgent.
"Mr. Mingbi, Yixi, something is wrong, the front is already messed up, come out quickly!"
Wei Geng and Qi Bansun's faces changed, and they hurriedly got up to put away their things, opened the door and walked out together, and Gan Yu also followed.
Standing outside the door was Qi Bansun's cousin Qi Hongsun, who was also a core member of this anti-Qing secret organization, and the strange thing was that although he said that something had happened, his expression was not nervous, and he even had a happy smile on his face.
"Big brother, what's going on?" Qi Bansun asked.
"The news just came that my Ming official army has invaded Zhejiang, and the two counties of Changshan and Jiangshan, the Hengzhou Mansion of Tartar and the Prefecture of Chuzhou have been in a hurry...... although Qi Hongsun tried his best to keep his voice low, he could not hide his excitement.
"Ahh——!h Seriously! Don't coax me! Qi Hongsun rushed up and hugged him tightly, Qi Hongsun was thin and weak, and he was almost strangled out of breath.
With a bang, Wei Geng slammed his fist on the door frame.
……
Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Qing army has always occupied the initiative on the battlefield, the Ming army can only be passively beaten, and has never launched a large-scale counteroffensive. Among the scholars who came to participate in the poetry meeting today, half of them participated in or planned to participate in the imperial examination of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty had just established the country, and it was the time when talents were needed.
Unexpectedly, I never expected that the Ming army would attack Zhejiang! Didn't the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty just win a big victory in Nanchang? How could the Ming army attack it?
Some people are worried and some people are happy, the other half of the scholars sympathize with the Ming Dynasty and refuse to participate in the imperial examination of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
After coming and going, the two sides quarreled, fortunately, everyone is a Sven person, the gentleman fights and does not move, and there is no old fist for the time being, the Qi brothers and Wei Geng came forward in time to announce the end of the poetry meeting, and the contradiction did not further intensify.
Out of the Qi family's apartment, Wang Mingyue and Lu Qiuke were still angry, they were scolded by a group of scholars just now, because of the loss of the big festival, they were always at a disadvantage in the quarrel, and they were scolded by the other party.
"X damn, these guys were already chanting anti-poems just now, I'm going to the yamen to denounce them!"
Wang Mingyue recounted: "'The 100-person poetry meeting will be 100 people, half of the Qing Dynasty and half of the Ming Dynasty, and send a message to the students of Shanyin, don't be the son of heaven of the two dynasties. You see, with this poem you can cut off their heads! ”
"There is no basis for empty words, and it may not work if you sue it, and now that the imperial court is using troops against Nanming, it may not care about these small things." Wang Ting persuaded: "Now that the overall situation is undecided, there are still many people who think about the future, and the court can only turn a blind eye, and this is just a battle of words and tongues. ”
"Is that all?" Lu Qiuke was also scolded enough just now, and said indignantly: "A group of ignorant people who use their arms as a car, just listen to a gossip and make a fuss, I can't see their arrogant appearance!" ”
"Everything has a cause and effect, so you don't have to worry about them today, let's see later." Wang Ting turned around and asked Yao Qisheng, "Brother Xizhi, why haven't you been talking?" ”
"Oh, I'm thinking about one thing, since the Battle of Nanchang was won, how could the Southern Army invade Zhejiang, there may be another hidden reason here." Yao Qisheng didn't say it thoroughly, but everyone was smart and immediately understood the meaning of his words.
"Is this ...... lying about military exploits?"
"In this way, we have all underestimated the Southern Army before!"
"If that's the case, it's not yet known who will kill the deer in the world!"
Lu Qiuke, Wang Mingyue, and Wang Ting looked at each other, and their hearts were uncertain.
"Yao Mou advised all the brothers, put aside the matter of Yuyuan first, the Qi brothers and Wei Geng and others have strange whereabouts, it is best not to have anything to do with them. These days, it is best to study behind closed doors and wait for changes. Yao Qisheng hugged his fists, turned around and walked away. (To be continued......)
