Amakusa Feng stood behind Ren Siqi, stretched out his slender jade hand and gently rubbed his shoulder, the beauty was on the side, the fragrance was fragrant, at this moment Ren Siqi suddenly didn't want to do office work, just wanted to relax. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But although the eyes were closed, the mind could not stop for a moment. In fact, Chen Zilong's words just now are very reasonable, now half of the world is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the people in Jiangnan are rising and falling, if the Chongming army can resist the Qing soldiers in Jiangyin and thwart the Qing army's attack and achieve a victory, then the situation will be promising. As long as the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners is broken, it will inevitably boost the morale of the Ming troops everywhere, so that they will no longer be afraid of the Qing soldiers like tigers, so that the situation may really be stabilized, and it is not impossible to rule the Manchu Qing by dividing the river.

But what do you get in that case? Put all the troops and financial resources into Jiangyin to defend the city, even if the Qing army is defeated, the Chongming army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, how can it have the strength to compete with other Ming troops at that time?

Therefore, Chen Zilong's insight cannot be said to be unclear, but it is not suitable for him, in the final analysis, he does not want to be a loyal minister like Yue Fei. On the contrary, the ambitious Li Yanzhi has an appetite for himself. may be from a low background, or it may be that he has repeatedly failed to achieve ambition, Li Yanzhi does not have a trace of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty in his heart, so he has repeatedly persuaded himself to try to stand on his own, so he is so wrong with Chen Zilong, who is loyal to the Ming family.

"Ah Feng, what do you think of Chen Zilong and Li Yanzhi?" Ren Siqi had a headache, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and casually asked Amakusa Kaede, who was serving behind him.

Amakusa Feng has been following Ren Siqi for more than a year, and the Ming official has spoken very fluently, hearing Ren Siqi's words, she smiled shyly: "What do you know, don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

"Just say what you think, and I'll listen to it." Ren Siqi smiled and held Amakusa Kaede's soft wattle with his backhand, only to feel that his hands were slippery.

The hand was held, Amakusa Kaede's body trembled, and his face turned red to the root of his ears.

"Mr. Chen is erudite, upright, and a good official." Amakusa Kaede said softly.

"Well, Chen Zilong is really good, what about Li Yanzhi?" Ren Siqi rubbed Amakusa Kaede's hand and made the girl feel like a deer, pitiful, Amakusa Kaede was already fifteen years old, and she was no longer the little girl who didn't know anything.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, he's not a good official," Amakusa Kaede said with a sigh.

"What do you mean by that?" Ren Siqi stopped and asked in surprise.

Amakusa Kaede's face was full of apprehension, because she knew that there were some things that she should not say in her identity, but since Ren Siqi asked, she didn't dare to hide it.

"I heard, I heard that Mr. Li just married the fourth concubine last month," Amakusa Kaede said hesitantly.

"Haha, chromophobia, Li Yanzhi is a high-ranking official in Chongming, and he is in his prime, so what is it to marry a few concubines." Ren Siqi laughed.

"The maid also heard that Mr. Li promoted many relatives in his family to be officials on the island, and I heard that his relatives are very domineering." Amakusa Kaede gritted his teeth and continued.

"Oh?" Ren Siqi was stunned, this is a new situation. It is a man's nature to be lustful, as long as he does not rob the people's daughters, as long as he Li Yanzhi can afford it, Ren Siqi is not willing to ask how many concubines he marries, after all, this is his private matter. However, the problem of unauthorized placement of relatives is much more serious, unauthorized power will inevitably be favoritism, favoritism will inevitably bend the law, Chongming's foundation is his own, Ren Siqi does not allow anyone to steal his authority!

Seeing Ren Siqi's gloomy face, Amakusa Kaede closed his mouth with interest and continued to beat Ren Siqi's back.

Ren Siqi closed his eyes, and his mind was sharply calculating, Amakusa Feng was a widow, she was rescued from Japan by herself, and she did not collude with any forces on the island, so her words were not instigated by anyone but completely from her heart, and now even Amakusa Feng, who stays in the Governor's Mansion every day, knows it, so it can be seen that more people may know about Li Yanzhi's problem, but he knows nothing, which makes Ren Siqi the most annoyed.

When did the governor of the island know about the affairs of the island by telling a maid by his side? What does the Enemy Intelligence Division do? What does Anthony eat?

What annoyed Ren Siqi the most was not Li Yanzhi's arbitrary perversion of the law, but that he didn't know his unauthorized perversion of the law. Li Yanzhi is an important minister of the Governor's Mansion, and it is understandable to promote some of his own people, but Ren Siqi can't forgive himself because he doesn't know that Li Yanzhi has this kind of behavior, and then he is very annoyed with Anthony, who is in charge of intelligence work.

However, Ren Siqi soon knew that Anthony could not complain about this, after all, the main responsibility of the Enemy Intelligence Department was to investigate the enemy situation rather than monitor the officials and people on the island.

However, while the hostile situation is important, it is even more important to control internal stability. Now Chongming's power is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people in the army is increasing, among them, there are no spies sent from the local government, and there are hundreds of high-grade officials in Chongming, and how many of them are really loyal to themselves?

Ren Siqi knew that another organization had to be established, an agency responsible for monitoring officials on the island, cracking down on corruption, and investigating public information and counter-espionage, yes, similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. However, in view of the bad reputation of Jinyiwei, and the Ming Dynasty has not yet perished, the Longwu Imperial Court and the Lu Jian State are still there, Ren Siqi himself is just a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he does not dare to use the name of Jinyiwei without permission, so he must change his name.

Moreover, whether it is monitoring officials on the island or counter-espionage, professional personnel are needed to be competent, and although Chongming Island has a population of hundreds of thousands, it precisely lacks such professional personnel.

Just when Ren Siqi was worried, someone suddenly came to report, saying that the old man Lu Zonghan came to visit, which made Ren Siqi overjoyed, and hurriedly asked people to come in.

Lu Zonghan, the original Jinyi Wei Baihu, and Ren Siqi met at the end of the Weimo, Ren Siqi once saved his life, and later gave him the first credit for suppressing bandits when he exterminated the Daishan pirates, so Lu Zonghan was able to be qualified for the position of Hangzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and Lu Zonghan reciprocated the favor and helped a lot when Ren Siqi's power developed.

When Emperor Hongguang fled to Hangzhou, Lu Zonghan was briefly appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and was later replaced by Ma Shiying's son Ma Luan.

"I've seen the governor of the city!" Before Ren Siqi stood up from his seat to greet him, Lu Zonghan knelt down on his knees and bowed.

"Brother Lu, please get up quickly," Ren Siqi hurriedly helped him up, carefully examined his face, and sighed: "Brother Lu's face is a lot haggard." ”

In a word, Lu Zonghan's eyes wept.

The two sat down separately, the maid Amakusa Kaede served tea, and Lu Zonghan talked about his past encounters.

After Emperor Hongguang arrived in Hangzhou, Lu Zonghan, as the head of Hangzhou Jinyiwei, was very popular with Emperor Hongguang at first, but within a few days, Ma Luan seized the position of commander. Fearing retaliation from Ma Luan, Lu Zonghan took refuge in the countryside of Hangzhou with his henchmen, but avoided the Manchu siege because of a blessing in disguise. After the fall of Hangzhou, Lu Zonghan took his family to hide in a fishing village by the sea, thinking that he would be a flat-headed ordinary person to live a down-to-earth life, after all, he had accumulated a lot of silver over the years, but who would have thought that a former enemy reported him to the Manchu government, but fortunately, there was a person of his own in the Hangzhou government to report the news, and Lu Zonghan was able to escape by boat with his family.

"There is nowhere to go now, as long as you come to the governor, I hope that the governor can reward his subordinates with a bite to eat for the sake of the past!"

"Hahaha, Brother Lu is here, I happen to have a position here that is suitable for you. From now on, you will be the commander of my internal guard," Ren Siqi laughed.
