In the end, Fujian has many mountains, and the roads between various prefectures and counties are easy to repair, after all, there were originally official roads that have been walked for hundreds of thousands of years. Although this road is also very bad, it is relatively smooth, and it can be repaired by following the original one. The roads between the villages and towns and the county are not so good, and there are high mountains blocking the roads in many places, and if you want to build the roads, you must drill caves and tunnels. With the technical conditions of this era, that is absolutely impossible.

Geng Jingzhong and Li Guangdi did not think of this matter, but this road still has to be repaired. There is really no way to cultivate in the mountains and forests, even if it is, Geng Jingzhong really can't afford to consume that manpower and material resources, the difficulty is too high! But as long as the conditions are met, it doesn't matter if you spend more money and a little more construction time.

The six road administration companies respectively took 200,000 silver dollars from the Jingnan Wangfu as start-up capital, began to recruit troops, and customized cement and gravel and other road construction materials, and began to get busy. In the past, Fujian had a total of eight prefectures and 40 counties, and most of the roads connecting each other were repaired in a whole year. But this time it is different, the total distance is more than three times the original one, and the difficulty of construction has also increased a lot, and it is estimated that the construction period will be extended accordingly, even if the money spent is not much more.

"Shizi, Mr. Li asks to see!" Geng Jingzhong was still playing with his son in the courtyard of the palace, and the guards in the palace quickly came to him to report. Seeing that Xiao Shizi was happy, he added: "Mr. Li said that the matter is very urgent, and Shizi must deal with it himself!" ”

"Hmm~" Geng Jingzhong raised his head. glanced at the guard. This Lee stayed in the ponytail with a bright land. Preside over the reception process. Under normal circumstances, they will not leave at will. He rarely went in and out of the palace. Don't think about it, there must be something important, and he can't make up his mind, so he will come.

"Take Brother Li to my study first, I'll be there soon!" Geng Jingzhong immediately responded. The guards received the order and immediately turned around and went out. Geng Jingzhong also turned his head and said to his sweaty son: "Wenwen, Daddy has something to do." You go to your mother to play first, and then your father will come to accompany you later, okay? As he spoke, he handed the little ball to the little one.

"Okay Daddy, but you must tell me a story tonight! I've heard everything my grandfather said, and I want to hear my father tell a new story! "The little guy took the ball and made a move.

"You little thing, you actually learned to negotiate terms with your father! Balls! Okay, Daddy will tell you about it in the evening! After saying that, he patted the little guy's head gently.

"Oh, there's a new story to hear!" Seeing Geng Jingzhong's readily agreed, the little guy happily turned around and ran away with the ball.

Geng Jingzhong put away his smile and immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the study.

In the study. Li Guangdi didn't sit down, just walked back and forth in the study. Even the tea on the table didn't move. It seems that something is really going on.

"Brother Li, what's so urgent, and I want you to come over in person?" As soon as Geng Jingzhong stepped into the door of the study, he asked Li Guangdi with a smile.

"Oh, Shizi! It's true that something happened, and the boning knife must be going to see blood this time. Li Guangdi said with a solemn face. At the same time, he handed a small note, which was also coated with a layer of wax, which seemed to be used for protection.

Geng Jingzhong looked at Li Guang's face so solemn, and instantly realized that something big had indeed happened. Boning knife, isn't this an internal oversight body that has only been established for a few months? Geng Jingzhong turned a small note and quickly unfolded. There are very few words on it, only three columns: "1. Geng's levy and widowhood have won more than 50 million taels of silver." Second, Geng's plan to expand the army again, at this moment the north is called recruitment, but in fact, it is recruiting troops, and will be secretly sent to the island for training. Third, Geng's is in contact with Shang's, and I don't know why! ”

"I just got it, and I'm here right away!" Li Guangdi saw that Geng Jingzhong's face was getting worse and worse, and he was almost dripping water, and whispered to him.

"Who is it?" After a long while, Geng Jingzhong exhaled deeply and asked.

"Jiang Dehong!"

"It's him! Are you sure? Geng Jingzhong still didn't believe it, and asked with a frown.

"The Sharp Knife Team personally captured the person who delivered the letter, and it is indeed Jiang Dehong's cronies." This is a combination of stolen goods, and Li Guangdi also reported it truthfully.

Since Geng Jingzhong and Li Guangdi set up this clean-up plan and set up an internal supervision organization, the boning knife, within a short period of time, Li Guangdi took the lead in transferring some elites and setting up a sharp knife squad. There were not many of them, only twenty people, who were responsible for secretly investigating the most senior generals of the Mawei Army. Of the four leaders of the Marine Army, Jiang Dehong is one of them, and of course he is also the key monitoring target.

These four staff leaders, each directly controlled four battalions, a total of 4,000 people, in later generations, but it was equivalent to the strength of a division. The total number of the Marine Army is now 22,000, and most of the strength of the entire army is controlled by a few of them, except for Geng Jingzhong's personal guard battalion. And Ma Jiuyu and Zeng Yangxing are the highest commanders of the Marine Army, which is equivalent to the commanders of later generations, and they are not in direct contact with soldiers in peacetime.

In recent months, none of the generals have been out of the ordinary, after all, nothing major has happened. It's also possible that they're doing something secretive, or that the boning knife has just been established and nothing has been discovered. A few days ago, as soon as Geng Jingzhong had a meeting with the generals, Jiang Dehong had already begun to prepare to deliver the news to the capital.

Jiang Dehong also knew the role of the princess fang, so he did not dare to connect with the people of the imperial court in Fuzhou City now. So, they also came up with a solution. Geng Jingzhong's offshore fleet had to go back and forth to Jiangning, Suzhou and other places every three months, and if he had news to be delivered, he would send someone to find an excuse to follow the fleet to set off and deliver the news to Jiangning, and then transfer it to the capital by a special person.

Originally, after he returned from the expedition to the Japanese Kingdom with Geng Jingzhong and others, he wanted to deliver a message to the north, but the offshore formations were still loading goods in various places and did not set off. Coupled with the content of this meeting, the news was too important, more important than before, as soon as the offshore formation decided to set off, Jiang Dehong sent his cronies at home to prepare to follow the formation to Jiangnan.

In order not to be discovered, they wrote the message on this small piece of paper, which was smeared with a layer of wax; Then sew this little piece of paper into the placket of the garment, so that you don't know it, and even if the garment gets wet at sea, the handwriting on the paper will not be blurred.

The Sharp Knife Team has been in charge of investigating the generals for several months, and they have investigated all the generals and their officials in detail. It just so happened that in the past two years, Jiang Dehong's mansion would send a person every time to follow the offshore formation to the Jiangnan region. It was said that Jiang Dehong's wife was not worried about other people's affairs, and sent them to Jiangnan to personally select and purchase things, in fact, it was to pass Jiang Dehong's information to the people in the capital.

In fact, speaking of the wisdom of the ancients, it is really lacking in this intelligence. Jiang Dehong would not have any numeric password or anything else to transmit messages to the north in the form of a password, in that case, the security performance would be much higher. Geng Jingzhong's "Jinyi Guard" basically did just that, and Geng Jingzhong personally devised a method to use it for various intelligence points to transmit information. One is used in each region, and each region has a general manager.

In fact, it is very simple to say, a region selects a uniformly printed book, the Analects, the Book of Poetry, or something, and then the information to be conveyed is programmed and encoded according to the location of the Chinese characters. Of course, this number is not one, two, three, four, five, nor one, two, three, or one in Chinese, but the Arabic numerals introduced by Geng Jingzhong in the school! In this way, outsiders can't understand it at all, and they don't know why they get it.

Recently, it has been an extraordinary time, and Lee Guangdi has also put a lot of effort into this aspect, after all, there is no room for mistakes at this moment. When he saw the team report the situation, Li Guangdi secretly took down the steward of the Jiang Mansion going north this time and examined it carefully. When they were in Fuzhou City, the Sharp Knife Team didn't dare to make a move, so as not to startle the snakes. It was only when the offshore formation sailed out of the port and into the sea that the Sharp Knife team secretly took it down. After a careful search, I found this secret letter in this person's clothes.

The Sharp Knife Team has been stalking and investigating for more than three months, and finally has its first harvest. The team members were overjoyed and quickly returned to deliver the news to Li Guangdi. Li Guangdi was only suspicious, and he didn't make any moves, but now that he has obtained real evidence, he didn't make his own decisions, and immediately got on his horse and galloped to Jingnan Palace, and handed it over to Geng Jingzhong to decide.

"Don't alarm him yet, and don't sue anyone. Find a reason to send him out in a few days, and then execute him in secret. It's up to you to decide how to do it, and it's best to give him a sudden illness that will lead to death. In this way, the Sharp Knife Squad will not be exposed. Geng Jingzhong took the note, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then opened his eyes and said slowly.

"Shizi, there may be people in this army who are involved with Jiang Dehong, do you want to continue to track down this line?" Li Guangdi's mood is also very heavy, the military is considered to be the most senior general, and there are really traitors. At the same time, I was also afraid for a while, if they were to send this information to the capital smoothly, maybe Kangxi would immediately transfer troops to attack Fujian. When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will attack Fujian in multiple ways, and Geng Jingzhong and the entire Mawei Army will really lose this base place.

Although Kangxi was not ready to tear his face with the three feudatories, Wu Sangui was not fully prepared. As for the Geng family, Kangxi made a holy decree to denounce the Geng family as a thief. Wu Sangui may also respond to the dispatch of troops. After all, the first item reported on this small note, more than 50 million taels of silver, was a great temptation for both the imperial court and Wu Sangui. No matter which side can get this silver, there is no problem in supporting the consumption of ten or twenty major wars. After all, wars are fought with money and food. (To be continued......)
