4-13 1,000 households in the south factory

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Ziguang's house on the bank of the Qinhuai River ushered in a mysterious guest, and a magnificent white-robed scribe jumped down from the carriage without any markings, and four horseback riders turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knocked on the door, telling the porter that Liu Ziguang's friends were visiting.

Liu Ziguang heard that the porter said that a friend was visiting, and thought it was the little emperor who was visiting, so he hurriedly dressed and went out, but when he arrived at the gate, he saw that it was the eunuch in a red python robe that he saw in Dongcheng Sick Ma Si last night, and Hu Yimin called the eunuch in charge of Li.

Seeing Liu Ziguang's slightly stunned expression, Manager Li smiled slightly: "Brother Liu, don't you remember our family when you saw it last night?" With that, he walked to the main hall by himself.

"It turned out to be Manager Li, of course I remember it, but I don't know if Manager Li came to the Humble House, what advice do you have?" Liu Ziguang accompanied Li Lianying to the main hall as he spoke, and after the guests and hosts sat down, their own little servant served tea, and Li Lianying said: "Our family is here today, but it is to save Brother Liu's life. ”

"Why did Mr. Li say this?" Liu Ziguang asked with a puzzled expression.

"Do you know who instigated the murderer who wanted to commit murder to Miss yesterday? Tell you, it is Jinyiwei's Huang Zhen, this person is the godgrandson of the powerful nine-thousand-year-old Huang Gonggong in the current dynasty, his temperament has always been perverse, and every little thing must be kept in mind, not to mention that you ruined his good deeds, they couldn't help the soldiers and horses and our internal exercises, so they had to take you under the knife, I heard that Jinyiwei was ready to fabricate charges and arrest you. Li Lianying scared Liu Ziguang and said.

Liu Ziguang said in his heart that you are not doing business, what are you going to do here to scare me, there must be some purpose in saying these words for no reason, and he did not answer at the moment, and was silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Lianying thought he was frightened, and then said: "Yesterday, Brother Liu saved Hu and Li, the two young ladies, the palace is still very grateful, our family thinks that the name Liu Ziguang is very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere, so I checked the military newspaper from Shandong, sure enough, since the Battle of Liguo at the beginning of this year to the later Yanzhou War, the Jinan War, Brother Liu has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but unfortunately it has been buried. It's a pity that the traitors in the court are in charge, and they only gave Brother Liu a position as the general manager of the Jiupin Regiment, which really made our family sigh for a long time. Now Dongchang and Jinyiwei are going to conspire to assassinate you, although our family is just a small internal manager, but we also have the heart to know and love talents, and we will never tolerate those traitors being so presumptuous. After speaking, he looked at Liu Ziguang's expression.

If it was ordinary people who heard that Dongchang and Jinyiwei were going to deal with themselves, they would have been frightened and scattered, and if they caught such a life-saving straw as Manager Li, they would not immediately bow down, and be grateful to show their loyalty, Liu Ziguang is a great person, he is a big hero with a general-level rank in a million army, and his nerves are absolutely big, at this moment, he just said "um" softly, nodded noncommittally, and waited for Li Lianying's next words.

"Sure enough, it's a real hero." Li Lianying couldn't help but secretly admire, it is really difficult to find people in the whole capital who talk about Dongchang and Jinyiwei, this trip is considered to be the right person! "Brother Liu is really bold, our family admires, our family is also a cheerful person, let's just say it, in order to save the people from hanging upside down and fight against the eunuch power of Dongchang Jinyiwei, the Queen Mother decided to recruit some righteous people from the rivers and lakes to set up the Nanji Factory to compete with it, our family is not talented, temporarily appointed as the commander of the South Factory, Brother Liu was originally a Jiupin official, and the Queen Mother will give you the position of a thousand households in the South Factory, and we will be our own family in the future, and those fans of the East Factory Jinyi Wei will not dare to easily move the Queen Mother."

Liu Ziguang's brain is running rapidly, the Queen Mother is trying to win me over, this is a good thing that I can't ask for, now there are three forces in the capital, the Queen Mother and the Nine Thousand Years Old are evenly matched, and the little emperor who is gradually awakening is the weakest party, but also the most promising dark horse, he is already a person in the camp of the little emperor, and now he has the opportunity to use the power of the Queen Mother to gradually disintegrate and consume the strength of both sides in the name of fighting with the nine thousand years old, and by the way, he secretly shows the strength of himself and the little emperor, which is really a good deal.

"The Queen Mother is very loving, Liu will never give up, and I will ask the Admiral to help me more in the future." Liu Ziguang got up and saluted Li Lianying, showing neither humility nor arrogance.

"Well said, well said." The more calm and calm Liu Ziguang became, the more Li Lianying felt that he was a talent, and since Liu Ziguang accepted the appointment, he could tell him the reasons for the establishment of the South Factory and the current urgent tasks.

Ten years ago, when the palace was born, the Empress Dowager Li was just a woman with little power and only one queen, and the nine-thousand-year-old Huang Gonggong was already a veteran of the two dynasties, serving as a celebrant eunuch for decades, and the power has spread all over the government and the opposition, in order to deal with the prince, they temporarily formed an alliance, and the cooperation was quite pleasant, after the little emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother began to listen to the government, gained a certain amount of political power, began to install cronies, cultivate power, at the beginning of the mountain dew, wait until the Dongchang side noticed, The power of relatives has been small in scale, it is not easy to eradicate, so the two sides have lived peacefully for ten years, no one has broken this delicate balance, it is precisely this balance under the blade that has led to the relative stability of the political situation, if the queen mother has a person who has been promoted to the prefect, then the nine thousand years old must also be promoted to a prefect, so down, the court officials have all taken refuge in both sides, and even father and son, brothers are in two camps, this is also the balance of the officials, you have me, I have you, In the future, no matter which party controls the power, the families of these officials will not be wiped out.

Jinyiwei was created by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Dongchang was created by Emperor Chengzu, these two spy organizations have been in the hands of nine thousand years old for 30 years, the party naturally can not get involved, can only control the five cities of soldiers and horses, privately set up an armed internal exercise to defend the palace, in terms of armed forces alone, it is not weaker than the eunuch party, but compared to intelligence work, it is too far behind, every move must be monitored by Jinyiwei, not to mention the East Factory, the imperial court will try the big case, Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division tortures repeat offenders, The East Factory must send people to hear the trial; Each yamen of the imperial court had Dongchang personnel on duty to monitor the officials' every move; Some important yamen documents, such as various side newspapers of the Ministry of War, Tang newspapers, Dongchang have to send people to check, the party has suffered a lot of dumb losses on this, but there is nothing to be done, now the queen mother is finally completely angered by Huang Zhen's doing, and is determined to set up her own intelligence agency, the south factory is not as good as the east factory, even if it is established, it can only be used as an unknown secret organ, there is absolutely no power and prestige like the east factory, the south factory in the staffing to the five cities of the soldiers and horses and the internal exercise of the officers as the leader, As a grassroots force, the main task of the recruited Jianghu people is to detect the movements of the eunuch party and take corresponding action, and the most urgent action at present is to react to last night's incident ---- take out Huang Zhen.

The plan to kill Huang Zhen was decided last night when the palace was secretly discussed, this is Liu Ziguang's vote, only by killing the people from the eunuch party can Liu Ziguang be completely tied to the chariot of the rear party, after explaining this task, Li Lianying glanced at Liu Ziguang meaningfully, and said: "Come and don't be rude, Huang Zhen is your old enemy, whether it is public or private, Liu Qianhu must make the first shot of the South Factory more beautiful." ”

"As a thousand households in Nanchang, where do you sit? Who are the men and horses below? Liu Ziguang asked.

"Well, our Nanchang Yamen has just been established, and the manpower is relatively tight, so let's use your original team for the time being, I heard that you have a group of brothers who can fight well in Shandong, and the drivers of the Ziguang car dealer are used to monitor and keep an eye on it, as for the Yamen... I think you're a good river house. Li Lianying said.

Seeing Liu Ziguang's stunned appearance, Li Lianying also felt a little embarrassed, took out a bronze medal and handed it to Liu Ziguang and said: "This is the command waist card of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, you can order the men and horses of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, you take it for the time being, and when the fame of our South Factory is out, it is not too late to show up in the open." ”

So far, it has to be like this, but it is finally leaning on one of the two big trees in the capital, and since then it has been officially involved in the political whirlpool of the capital. Liu Ziguang took the bronze medal and discussed some other issues with Li Lianying before sending the chief of internal operations and the commander of the South Factory away.

When Li Lianying left, at least two groups of surveillance personnel also quietly withdrew, each of whom reported to his master.

After Li Lianying left, Liu Ziguang immediately went to visit Yuan Chonghuan, although Yuan Chonghuan was now robbed of military power, but his prestige in the Xuzhou army is still very high, and he is the object of wooing all parties, of course, this person is a complete clear stream, only loyal to the son of the Zhu family, and will never throw himself into the eunuch party or the rear party.

It is very unfortunate that when I arrived at Yuan's house, I learned that Yuan Chonghuan went out to connect some Wenchen generals to continue the Northern Expedition, and the family guarding the door was Yuan Dashuai's personal soldiers brought from Shandong, so he naturally knew Liu Ziguang, and let him go to the living room to serve tea, and a black and thin boy who was Swenwen came out to sit with him, and the two sides only knew that this was Yuan Chonghuan's eldest son Yuan Chengzhi, who was seventeen years old this year, was studying in Nanjing Guozijian, and said gossip for a while, Liu Ziguang couldn't sit still, got up and said goodbye, and said that he would come to visit again when he had time.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't see it, and the little emperor was even more like a dragon, so he wanted to contact him only by transmitting information through carrier pigeons, and making an appointment in advance, Liu Ziguang had to go back to his house stupidly.

Back in the study, he picked up a pen and paper and wrote two secret letters, one was for the red-shirted regiment stationed in **, asking them to send bold and careful people to Beijing to learn medical skills with Dr. Jones, and one was written to the little emperor, using secret words to indicate that he needed to meet recently, and just after writing the two letters, Liu Ziguang suddenly noticed that there was a letter pressed under a stack of blank rice paper, and the envelope said "Liu Ziguang personally opened".

This is strange, who is so mysterious, actually put the letter into his study, he is full of doubts, holding this letter for a long time, for fear of some mechanism, and finally took a pair of chopsticks to clip the letter paper out of the envelope, spread it out, only to see a few lines written on it without a head: June 13, Huang Zhen returned to Haizhou, boarded the ship at noon, and Fusang guarded five people. The payment was made by Mr. Qi.

It's this strange Mr. Qi again, who previously helped himself get a million arrears from the Ministry of War, and later asked Zhou Mengren to notify him to rescue Yuan Chonghuan, and now he has passed on the itinerary of Huang Zhen, which is obviously helping himself, but Li Lianying only said the plan to kill Huang Zhen in the morning, how much effort is this, Mr. Qi already knows, and also sent information, so the dragon is not seen, it is really incredible, is it that in addition to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, there is another hidden spy organization in the capital?

In any case, according to the various performances of this Mr. Qi, he is a friend and not an enemy, let's believe him once, Liu Ziguang took the letter to the Red Shirt Group, and added a few words to the back, asking them to send some people with ordinary appearance and strong martial arts to help him. Now the river house where I live is already the so-called Yamen of the Nanji Factory, and it is also a spy agency, but it is really a shame to let Mr. Qi's people come and go at will to leave letters, and it is really a shame to pass them out, since it is a secret agency, it must have the appearance of a secret agency, it seems that Neicao and the Five Cities Terracotta Division cannot provide any decent help, everything has to rely on themselves, Liu Ziguang thought for a while, and ordered someone to call Sun Gang and his son, the father and son have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and must have their own opinions, As the saying goes, three stinkers are still Zhuge Liang, plus Li Yan, Peng Jingrong, and himself, a modern person with a mind that is 500 years ahead, Nanchang will definitely be able to run it decently.

Gather people together to discuss, everyone talked for a while, but no one talked about the topic, nothing more than disguise, micro-service private interviews, what pretending to be fortune tellers, merchants, etc. to go through the streets and alleys to collect information, and then let the drivers of Ziguang Car Dealers squat at the door of various ministers and ministers, monitoring who they interact with, and then go to the teahouse and restaurant to inquire about the news, or recruit flower thieves, snitches and other light masters, let them sneak into other people's mansions to eavesdrop, In short, they are all uncreative solutions.

"These methods you are talking about, we can't compare to Dongchang, people have accumulated hundreds of years

Experience, with a set of careful plans and detailed information, you said that the coachman went to the door of the minister's house to monitor, and they couldn't recognize what kind of big man it was, so we can only use our strengths and avoid weaknesses and start from other aspects. Liu Ziguang thought about it for a while and said.

"Isn't this what Jinyiwei and Dongchang did? What's the best way to do it? The crowd was puzzled.

"It's up to Addison." Liu Ziguang smiled confidently.
