Chapter 438: A Trip to Jiangnan (6)
The goal was achieved, Liu Fan naturally didn't care about the old man's few complaints, and after leaving the study, Liu Fan left Tianfu and sent someone to find the person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department in Nanjing. The person in charge of the Nanjing Station of the Military Intelligence Department of the www.biquge.info of the Pen & Fun & Pavilion was none other than Li Xiu, the leader of the craftsmen and soldiers who came to Nanjing with Tian Wan.
Li Xiu is not only one of the earliest students of the political school, but also cautious, meticulous, and thoughtful. He is a young man who Liu Fan is more optimistic about, and he is also valued for his talent when he is ranked in Nanjing, the political and cultural center of the south of the Yangtze River, and hopes that Li Xiu can open up the situation as soon as possible and contribute to the army of prisoners.
In the past two years, Li Xiu has done well, and then Tian Wan's perfume business has become more and more prosperous, and the tentacles of the Military Intelligence Department have rapidly expanded to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, as the person in charge, Li Xiu himself is indispensable.
Using Tian Wan's network to develop his own intelligence force, this matter was planned by Liu Fan from the beginning. Liu Fan understands Tian Wan's greed and knows that he will not give up the benefits in his hands. So I was prepared for "meat buns and dogs" early on, but Liu Fan is not a person who is willing to suffer. So at an early age, he began to install his own intelligence agents in the name of sending secret perfume craftsmen. Facts have proved that this method is not bad, and the development of the military intelligence department of the perfume shops all over the south of the Yangtze River has provided great convenience. Although a large sum of money was lost, it was given an opportunity for intelligence development. Whether it is a gain or a loss, I am afraid that only Liu Fan himself knows the gains and losses.
In a house not far from Tianfu, Liu Fan and Li Xiu sat opposite each other, first after praising and encouraging Li Xiu, Liu Fan said to Li Xiu, "This time this governor comes to Nanjing has an extremely important thing to do, so you first put aside the matter at hand, mobilize all forces to collect information about Jiangnan, all the big and small forces in Jiangnan, including Nanjing City, can not let go, I want the most comprehensive and detailed information." Give you three days, and in three days I'm going to see your report on my desk, can you do it? ”
Li Xiu said confidently, "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to ensure that the task is completed in the shortest possible time!" ”
"Hmm" Liu Fan nodded with satisfaction, "In addition, you have to pay special attention to Nanjing City, even those forces below must not be let go, all of them will be registered for me in case of emergency!" ”
When Liu Fan first came to Nanjing, he lacked an intuitive and detailed understanding of the forces in Jiangnan, and if he wanted to deal with the powerful Lianghuai salt merchants and their allies, he needed to have a comprehensive understanding of the opponent's information, so intelligence work was particularly important. The purpose of allowing Li Xiu to collect intelligence is also to better understand the intricate network of relationships, so that he can adjust his deployment in a timely manner and seize the initiative.
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Fan felt a little uneasy, and repeatedly admonished, "This matter is very important, it is related to the opportunity for the development and growth of my Broken Army, you must worry more, if you have any difficulties, you can come directly to Tianfu to find me, whether it is personnel or funds, as long as there is a need, I will try my best to meet you!" ”
Seeing this, Li Xiu nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I know my humble position!" ”
Just when Liu Fan was planning to make a big move, his enemies were not idle. When Liu Fan arrived in Jiangnan, the news had already been known to the top leaders of the Donglin Party. One of the two people most hated by Donglin, many bigwigs in Donglin have reason to pay attention to all Liu Fan's movements. However, because Liu Fan came with a large army, after thinking about it again, the bigwigs still chose to protect themselves and did not react.
Qian Qianyi and other bigwigs did not take any action because they were afraid of Liu Fan's army. But those young Donglin scholars don't have so many worries, after learning that Liu Fan actually dared to come to Jiangnan, most of the "reading seeds" in Jiangnan, including the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, have been gearing up, vowing to give Liu Fan, the "living Cao Cao", a good look. Especially when the news of Liu Fan's arrival in Nanjing spread, the literati of the entire Jiangnan began to flock to Nanjing. On the third day of Liu Fan's arrival in Tianfu, this group of excitement reached its peak.
The scenery is beautiful at the foot of Qintian Mountain, the scenery is pleasant, and the Hualin Garden, the royal garden of the Six Dynasties, was once located here. As early as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was the imperial garden of the Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin and Song, Qi, Liang and Chen dynasties. After the Ming Dynasty established the capital of Nanjing, Taizu designated Hualin Garden as a national institution of higher learning - Guozijian, and carried out a thorough reconstruction. During the Hongwu period, there were 8,124 students in Nanjing, which was the largest university in the world at that time. By the Yongle period, there were more than 10,000 students in Nanjing Guozijian. Although the status of Nanjing Guozijian declined after Chengzu settled in Beijing, it was still one of the most important high-level institutions of learning in the Ming Dynasty.
Nanjing Guozijian has a large number of students, and it has always been one of the main gathering places for Jiangnan scholars to exchange academics and criticize the government. And today's Guozijian ushered in a rare event in ten years. After a large number of Jiangnan scholars came to Nanjing, most of them chose to come to Guozijian, including Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe, as well as Chen Zhenhui, Mao Bijiang, Fang Yizhi and Hou Fangyu, who were famous in Jiangnan, and even Wu Weiye Wu Jungong, who was known as the "Three Masters of Jiangzuo". These Jiangnan celebrities all gathered in Guozijian for only one purpose, that is, to crusade against Liu Fan, the "martial artist of the country".
Every Jiangnan student who was fortunate enough to participate in this grand event felt honored and honored. They gathered in groups and twos to talk and laugh loudly, and discussed with great interest how to deal with this vulgar martial artist with "wolf ambition". When he said that he was excited, he would even dance and curse loudly, and his anger was overflowing.
In an elegant and clean courtyard in the Guozi Supervision School, Zhang Pu, Chen Zhenhui, Mao Bijiang, Fang Yizhi, Hou Fangyu and Wu Weiye gathered here to discuss countermeasures against Liu Fan. Originally, according to the trajectory of history, Hou Fangyu, whose ancestral home was in Henan, should not have set foot in Jiangnan at this moment, but since his father Hou Sui was ousted by Liu Fan, for the sake of his son's future, Hou Sui sent him to Jiangnan, the base camp of the Donglin Party, to accumulate prestige and expand his career. Hou Fangyu, who has a deep family background and excellent talent and learning, also lived up to expectations, and created his own name in just over half a year, and Chen Zhenhui, a local in Jiangnan, ventured to open up Xinjiang, and Fang Yizhi was listed as one of the "Four Sons of Donglin". Wu Weiye's situation is also somewhat similar to Hou Fangyu's, the last time the "petition turmoil", Wu Weiye was not only beaten by Wen Tiren and bedridden for half a month, but then Wen Tiren found a reason to "smoothly" remove him from his official position and drive him out of the capital. After losing his official position and being hated by Wen Tiren, Wu Weiye naturally did not dare to stay in the capital anymore, so he could only return to his hometown of Taicang, Jiangsu. This time, when I heard that I was going to deal with Liu Fan, I ran over as soon as possible! (To be continued.) )
