Chapter 153: Cao Yin's Intelligence Network

Yinzhen also has a headache for the children of the clan who have been eliminated, these people are all brought to the navy by Kangxi through various clans and royal families, on the one hand, he wants to be knighted for his military merits, but on the other hand, he wants to control the navy through them. I don't know what benefits Kangxi promised them, which made these clan relatives and nobles rush to them and do everything possible to send their children to the navy.

Yinzhen came to Shanghai to develop, but he got the strong support of these clan nobles, if these twenty-six people were kicked out of the navy, not only would he offend the family behind them, but also cause Kangxi to be suspicious, and maybe it would also cause panic among all the clan nobles, so it would be a loss.

But the other eliminators were all kicked out of the navy, and only the twenty-six of them were left, so how will all the clan children be restrained in the future? What would the other naval officers think? Haven't the various systems and military regulations formulated by the Navy become a dead letter?

Glancing at Wu Ge, Yinzhen asked in a sullen voice, "What do you think about this?" Is there a proper solution? ”

Seeing Yinzhen asking rhetorically, Wu Ge was slightly stunned, and quickly said: "Dean, I have repeatedly thought about it in the past few days, and I will drive them out of the navy. It was suggested that all of them should be driven out of the navy and taken charge of the navy's various logistical supplies. ”

To take care of logistics? Yinzhen secretly laughed at Wu Ge and said, this group of people is responsible for logistics, once the navy makes meritorious service, they will naturally have a share of credit, but Yinzhen does not want to hand over the logistics to these people, and controlling the logistics is equivalent to controlling the navy, and the logistics must be someone he can trust.

He has worked hard to develop Taiwan, and he is also building a military port and inviting people to buy people's hearts, that is, he is preparing to build another logistics base for the navy in Taiwan, and in the future, he will also build a logistics base in Nanyang, so that the navy can really control it, and how can he let these people control Shanghai's logistics.

After thinking for a long time, Yinzhen said: "This method doesn't work, but it makes them not want to forge ahead, the military merits of the navy are not so easy to mix, let them all go to Liuchun Garden to guard, a year later, if they can't pass the assessment, resolutely rush back to the capital." ”

Jiangning Mansion.

Early in the morning of 28 June, nearly 100 officials of Jiangning Prefecture, under the leadership of the Liangjiang Governor Kali, waited at the Zhongguan Wharf to greet Yinzhen, the 14th son of the emperor, who came from Shanghai.

For the fourteenth son of the emperor who has been in the ascendancy in the past two years, Jiangning officials have been famous for a long time, and the rumors about the fourteenth master in Jiangning City are countless, and there have long been storytellers who have compiled the deeds of the fourteenth master into a joke and rapped around, and the fourteenth master also takes care of these storytellers, every once in a while, they will add some new things or big moves for them to attract visitors, in recent days, they are talking about the fourteenth master going to Fujian, appeasing the hungry, immigrating 300,000 to Taiwan, and giving 300,000 cloth to the hungry people. The Fourteenth Master came to Jiangning this time, and their business was booming again.

Different from the people, these officials pay more attention to the fate of the Fourteenth Master and the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, in the past two years, all those who are involved with the Fourteenth Master are all swishing upwards, and they are all related to the Liangjiang River or Jiangning, like Zhu Yanzhi, the prefect of Songjiang, was originally impeached by the Governor of Liangjiang Kali, relying on the Fourteenth Master, not only is it fine, but also promoted two levels to become the Guangdong Customs Supervisor from the third grade.

Suzhou prefect Chen Pengnian is the same, imprisoned, was named by the fourteenth master to come out, and was promoted two levels to become the superintendent of the Jiangxi Customs, the former governor of Jiangsu Yu Zhun, exiled to Heilongjiang, and now has also become the superintendent of the Fujian Customs.

The most important thing in officialdom is opportunity, for them, the fourteenth master's visit to Jiangning this time is a rare opportunity, once they enter the eyes of the fourteenth master, at least more than ten years of torment will be saved, so everyone is looking forward to Yinzhen's coming to Jiangning.

The governor of Liangjiang, Kali, was in a complicated mood, he was originally in the Eight Communists with the crown prince. The party swayed, but he was first stepped on by the fourteenth prince, and then impeached by the eight emperors, so he simply fell to the prince, but he didn't expect that the fourteenth prince would set up the fourteenth party on his own, and he also received strong support from Kangxi.

The envoy of the general government, Jiangning weaving, inspecting the two quasi-salt cao supervising the imperial history Cao Yin to the arrival of Yinzhen but like a drought in the hope of Ganlin, the huge deficit of four million has been almost overwhelmed, the impeachment of the governor of Liangjiang Kali, so that he has a strong sense of crisis, although the fourteenth master will take the deficit down, but I don't know what conditions he will offer, this matter is not completely implemented, he will not be at ease for a day.

Li Jin, the envoy of Jiangning Agricultural College, and Qincha Ortai, who supervised the Qinhuai River pilot project in Jiangning, were also among the officials waiting, and the two were also full of eagerness for Yinzhen's arrival, but what Li Jin wanted was silver, and Ortai wanted Yinzhen's appreciation.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the big ship with the flag of Qincha finally appeared in everyone's sight, and the officials couldn't help but make a commotion.

On the big ship, Yinzhen looked at a large number of various ships docked on both sides of the strait with great interest, and sighed at the busyness of water transportation and the prosperity of Jiangning in this era. Seeing the endless, tall and majestic city wall, he was also quite excited, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it was really extraordinary.

As soon as the boat docked, Yinzhen walked down the dock steadily, and stood facing south in the position that had been prepared, and immediately listened to the sound of a neat horse's hooves below, and a group of officials knelt down neatly under the leadership of the governor of Liangjiang, Kali, "The ministers respectfully ask for St. Ann." ”

"St. Bow." Yinzhen replied loudly.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray." After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, a group of officials got up and knelt down again to greet Yinzhen, "The officials and servants ask for peace to the prince, and the prince is Jin'an." ”

After the ceremony, he got up, and Kali smiled and said: "The prince has worked hard all the way, and the lower officials have prepared a little thin wine in the 'Qingfu Building' to wash the dust for the prince, and I hope that the prince will appreciate the light." ”

Yinzhen was the most disgusted by this kind of officialdom and hypocrisy, and immediately said with a smile: "This king has been running all the way from Fujian, and he is really tired. ”

Yinzhen didn't like the officialdom's false courtesy, it had already spread from Shanghai to the Liangjiang officialdom, and Kali didn't care about it at the moment, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan has prepared a place for the prince to collapse, and the prince is tired, so Xiaguan will send the prince to rest." ”

When Cao Yin heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, let's go to the minion's weaving mansion, which is quiet and easy to protect." ”

Yinzhen was stabbed in Guangzhou, although he was safe and sound, but it involved the people of a street who suffered from the fish pond, and he has been very guilty in his heart, and he smiled when he heard the words: "This king likes to be quiet, and he lives in the weaving house, and Lord Laoga is bothered." ”

Jiangning Weaving Mansion covers a vast area, the courtyard attic is layered on top of each other, Kangxi went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, lived in the Weaving Mansion five times, and the Weaving Mansion is actually the specifications of the palace.

After settling down, Yinzhen washed up under the attendants of a few maids arranged by Cao's house, changed into casual clothes, and heard that Cao Yin was already waiting outside, Yinzhen didn't expect Cao Yin to be in such a hurry, and ordered him to come in after a little groaning.

After Cao Yin came in to greet him, Yinzhen stretched out his hand to give up his seat, and as soon as Cao Yin sat down, he bowed and said: "The fourteenth master can still be used to living, if there is anything inconsiderate, the old slave will immediately change it." ”

Yinzhen said with a smile: "The environment is elegant, the scenery is pleasant, and the facilities are complete, which is good." ”

"The fourteenth master is satisfied, and the old slave is relieved." Cao Yin said and asked: "The old slave was ordered by the emperor to find the three strangers in the rivers and lakes for the prince, is the prince still satisfied?" ”

Luo Jing, Gan Hongjun, and Che Tong sent by Cao Yin, all like Bahai and Dachun, are waiting for Yinzhen at any time, Cao Yin doesn't know, this question is nothing more than to increase the bargaining chips for the next conversation, Yinzhen smiled and said: "It's not bad, this king has already rewarded them with third-class guards." ”

"The prince's appreciation is their blessing." Cao Yin said with a smile: "The three of them are all from Jiangnan, and their families are big, so the prince doesn't have to worry." ”

Yinzhen nodded, "Lord Lao Cao bothered." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare to take credit, this is all the emperor's love for the prince." Cao Yin said, got up and shook it, and said solemnly, "The fourteenth master is willing to help the old slave fill the huge deficit, the old slave is grateful, but the fourteenth master has a punishment, and the old slave will never give up." ”

This is to open their own conditions, Cao Yin's resources in his hands, Yinzhen is most interested in intelligence, Cao Yin, as the leader of the Jiangnan secret agent, must have an intelligence network in his hand, whether the navy will conquer Japan in the future, or go to the South Seas, a lot of intelligence is needed, although Lao Jiu was asked to collect Japanese intelligence before, but after the 14th Party of Independence, the relationship is not as good as before, and he does not dare to be a finger. Yinzhen restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Lord Cao is quick to talk, and this king does not go around in circles, this king wants to spy on all aspects of intelligence in Japan and Nanyang countries." ”

Information on Japan and the South Seas? Cao Yin couldn't help but be stunned, the fourteenth master built the ocean-going fleet to fight Japan and the South Seas? This is not a difficult matter, and it does not harm the interests of all parties, and after a little silence, he nodded and said: "Fourteenth master, there are many merchant ships between Japan and the South Seas, this is not a difficult matter, but it takes a little time, one year is enough for Japan, and the South Seas is a little bigger, how about two years?" ”

Yinzhen couldn't help but be secretly surprised by Cao Yin's ability, this time was much faster than he expected, it seemed that Cao Yin's intelligence network was much bigger than he imagined, and he had to find a way to catch it, at least share it with Kangxi, nodded slightly, and then he said: "Tell me in detail about your deficit and the errand you are responsible for." ”
