Chapter 569: Commissioner

Wang Baisuo didn't expect Zhang Qianzhi, who had just entered Zhongming Academy for a day, to get any inside information, even if He Xi came to Danzhou in person, he probably couldn't get valuable information from Zhongming Academy in such a short period of time, so the only means that Wang Baisuo could use at present was to strengthen external surveillance. As for Yan Mingjun's surveillance, it was mainly handed over to He Qi, the head of the government service, for which He Qi received another fifty taels of silver for the "special operation fund" - this is about the total amount of his harvest in the past year, including the gray income, and it is also the highest single income he has received since he worked for Haihan.

Zhang Qianzhi did learn a lot of reconnaissance skills during his time with He Xi, but these things don't seem to be very useful at the moment. He was placed in the same room as three other Confucian scholars, and his daily schedule consisted of studying the Four Books and Five Classics in the morning and practicing calligraphy or poetry and poetry in the afternoon. For a young man like him who has seen the market, this kind of life content is quite boring.

However, after all, Zhang Qianzhi has received special training, and he has developed a professional habit of being wary of others, and he can clearly feel that the other three people in the same room will mention things about Haihan intentionally or unintentionally, and they will not forget to ask him for his opinion every time. For this kind of superficial routine, Zhang Qianzhi is not too difficult to deal with, he knows very well how he should play the role of a Ming orthodox Confucian who has a lot of dissatisfaction with Haihan.

According to the arrangement in advance, Zhang Qianzhi would leave the academy every two to three days to go into the city to buy some daily necessities, and during this period, the people of the Ministry of Security would arrange an opportunity to contact him for information exchange.

Wang Baisuo's deployment of this matter can only be maintained at this level for the time being, this kind of monitoring may not be able to achieve results in a short period of time, and he can't put all the resources in his hands on this one thing. Although Danzhou is not a big place, the Ministry of Security is not responsible for more than just a reactionary literati and a new magistrate who is about to make a move, and Wang Baisuo needs to deal with much more than this.

For example, this afternoon, he received the latest instructions from Hao Wanqing from the Sanya base camp with telegrams. In principle, the importance of the content of the instructions transmitted by teletext is already relatively high, because the establishment is limited, the Ministry of Security does not have its own wireless communication department and operators, and only the instructions that require a relatively high timeliness will be sent by the Ministry of Security by borrowing the radio of the military or the management committee, while ordinary orders are generally transmitted through land or sea channels - just like other counterparts in this era.

When the telegram was handed over to Wang Baisuo, he immediately noticed that the envelope containing the telegram was marked with the word "top secret" prominently marked, which was the first time in the few months since he took office as the Ministry of Security's agency in Danzhou -- in fact, it was also the first time in his career that he had received the legendary "top secret" telegram secret order.

Wang Baisuo closed the doors and windows very carefully, sat down in his seat and calmed down for a while, then opened the envelope and pulled out the message and read the contents on it.

The content of the telegram is very brief, to the effect that during the "Liaoyuan Operation", there were still some omissions in the sweep of Qiongbei officialdom. This omission does not refer to the only Qiongzhou capital city that has not been conquered by the pirate army, but in the area of northern Qiongzhou that the pirate army is responsible for occupying, there are still big fish that have slipped through the net.

According to the arrangement of the "Liaoyuan Plan", after the Annan troops disguised as pirate troops at that time occupied various prefectures and counties in northern Qiongbei, one of their next tasks was to purge the local Ming government institutions and carry out a large-scale arrest of those officials who had been identified in advance as having obvious hostile positions. Since there is a relatively clear list of targets to be arrested in advance, the efficiency of this large-scale purge operation is also very high. Similar to the local government in Danzhou, the principal officials of the main departments are all dead and arrested, and the people who now cooperate with the temporary management committee are all deputies or newly promoted from below "people who know the times".

At that time, the military was responsible for the verification of the arrest list, and the Ministry of Security, for various reasons, was not directly involved in the front line. The list of persons submitted by the military to the Executive Committee and the Ministry of Security after the war does not appear to have gone to the suspected missing persons. But now the top-secret telegram sent by the base camp said that there was a big fish that had slipped through the net, which must be a loophole in some of the previous links.

The telegram did not explain the specific identity of the big fish, but only informed Wang Baisuo that a commissioner would go to Danzhou to preside over the investigation in the near future, and hoped that he would cooperate, and this also reflected the importance that the high-level of the Ministry of Security attached to this matter. Of course, the base camp sent a commissioner to guide the work, and what Wang Baisuo could cooperate with here was probably to prepare manpower and provide it to the commissioner for command when the time came.

However, Wang Baisuo's side has already arranged most of the manpower to monitor Zhongming Academy, and for the local security department in Danzhou, this order from the base camp is really a bit inopportune. Wang Baisuo had already borrowed someone from the local police force once before, so he had to be cheeky and go to Zhang Xin again.

Of course, this is not a big problem, and Wang Baisuo's attention is not in this aspect. As an intelligence practitioner with a background in catching fast, Wang Baisuo's work experience in the system is enough to be regarded as an expert veteran, and he is very keenly aware of the opportunities he may get in this matter -- tracing back to the root cause, it should not be the responsibility of the Ministry of Security for the big fish to slip through the net, but if he can catch this big fish in his jurisdiction, then he will definitely be indispensable for his meritorious deeds in hindsight.

On February 2, 1631, the tenth day of the new Danzhou Zhizhou, Zhang Qianzhi, a spy of the Ministry of Security, infiltrated Zhongming Academy in disguise for the fifth day, and Wang Baisuo served as the head of Danzhou of the Ministry of Security for three months and seven days. For them, this day does not seem to be much different from countless days in the past, but for someone who has just arrived at the Baimajing Wharf in Danzhou Bay, it is like a feeling of rebirth.

Since Li Qingyang arrived on Qiongzhou Island, this is the first time that he has the opportunity to leave Sanya. He had been in Sanya for a year, and many of his thoughts had changed a lot from when he first arrived on Qiongzhou Island, and if he had another chance to choose, he would probably really refuse the order to go south from the beginning, so as to at least preserve his loyalty to the imperial court.

Tong Guò has been in close contact with the Haihan people and gradually understood that Li Qingyang also understands that his strength is not enough to fight against the giant beast of Haihan, and it is very polite to say that the mantis arm is used as a car. Even the Jinyiwei behind him, the most powerful yamen in the Ming Dynasty, is difficult to compare with the operational efficiency of the Haihan Security Department - just Haihan's magical thousand-mile communication technique, Jinyiwei has no way to crack and deal with it.

During Li Qingyang's time in Sanya, in addition to his public identity in the medicinal herb shop, the one he dealt with the most was the Haihan Security Department. Every month, under the supervision of the Ministry of Security, his boss Lin Nan, he writes a routine report submitted to the Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Division, and based on the feedback he receives, makes certain predictions about the recent actions of the Nanzhen Fusi.

This work is actually not difficult to do, it is far easier than he thought when he was under house arrest, what to write in this official document, how to write it, what kind of purpose needs to be achieved, he does not need to think about it, all of them are drafted by the person in charge of this matter in charge of the Ministry of Security, and he only plays the role of transcribing and proposing.

Of course, the Ministry of Security included Li Qingyang in the establishment, and it did not put him away as a ** ornament. In addition to writing this report and stabilizing the investigation on the side of Daming Jinyiwei, Li Qingyang's role is to dig out the information that is useful to Haihan from him, which is simply about the various insiders and operating rules of Jinyiwei, an espionage agency.

These things are of little value to the Ministry of Security, and they are mainly for the purpose of mastering the rules of the opponent's behavior, so that it can better control the opponent's tactics in the field of intelligence work. Li Qingyang was still a little resistant to this kind of thing at first, but the Haihan people immediately showed him some secret things in the Jinyi Guard, such as the replacement process of the Jinyi Guard commanders in recent years, from Liu Shouyou and Luo Sigong in the Wanli period, to Tian Ergeng in the Apocalypse period, and then to Luo Yangxing, who took over after Emperor Chongzhen came to power, how these commanders ascended to the throne and how they stepped down, all of which were explained to him clearly.

Jin Yiwei actually knows some rumors about these things, but a low-level official like Li Qingyang, who has a hundred households, knows extremely limited, and it is far less detailed than the insider information told to him by the Haihan people. Moreover, the information that the Haihan people have is completely consistent with what Li Qingyang knows, which means that the information they know is not made up blindly with their eyes closed. Compared with these secrets, Li Qingyang felt that the so-called secrets he was trying to keep were not worth mentioning at all, so when the Haihan people asked him to tell him about the internal operation of Jinyiwei, he had nothing to fear.

By the time Li Qingyang turned over and over what he knew, he had little loyalty to the Ming court. Moreover, during this time, the Haihan people also kept their agreement, and not only did they not treat him badly, but also gave him a certain amount of silver every month as a reward for his work, which was much more than the amount of silver he received from the Jinyiwei.

Lin Nan also told him more than once that as long as he honestly followed the executive committee, not to mention glory and wealth in the future, at least it would be no problem to be a rich man on Qiongzhou Island who did not worry about food and clothing.

Half a year after Li Qingyang was arrested by Haihan, after several twists and turns, his relatives in Nanjing also traveled thousands of miles through various means, and were finally sent to Sanya. For Li Qingyang now, there is nothing to scruple about. For him, the identity of Daming Jinyiwei is already a skin that can be taken off at any time, and the special commissioner of the Haihan Security Department has become his real identity now. Compared with the situation two years ago when he was sent by Nanzhen Fusi to Qiongzhou to go undercover, it seems that he has changed his direction now, and he was originally going to break into Haihan, but now he has become a pawn of the Haihan Security Department to break into the Daming Jinyiwei.

Originally, before the implementation of the "Liaoyuan Plan", Hao Wanqing also had a special interview with him and asked him if he had any plans to return to Daming. This is not to entertain Li Qingyang, if he is willing to cooperate, then the Haihan Security Department can provide him with a lot of intelligence information about the pirates' imminent attack on Qiongzhou Island through him, and this information will be confirmed later, Li Qingyang's credit will definitely be recorded in the account, and there is great hope for promotion and salary increase - if he can't be promoted, Haihan will also use silver to force him up.

However, after Li Qingyang weighed it repeatedly, he still did not agree to Hao Wanqing's proposal. After staying here for a while, he no longer wanted to return to the intriguing workplace environment of the Nanjing Zhenfu Division, even if he could be promoted to the deputy thousand households or even the thousand households, what could he do? After seeing the methods of the Haihan people, he no longer had much interest in returning to serve in the Jinyi Guard's yamen. He would rather continue with his current state of life, work under the Haihan people, stay in Sanya in peace, and with his salary and work treatment, it will not take long to apply for a set of staff dormitories for employees of the Ministry of Security. For him, life in Sanya is far more relaxed and comfortable than in Daming, and he really doesn't want to go back there and continue to be an undercover agent who never sees the light of day.

Hao Wanqing did not force him to accept the arrangement, and since Li Qingyang figured out that he did not want to return to Daming, Hao Wanqing simply changed his establishment from a supernumerary special staff to a regular employee of the Ministry of Security.

Ten days before this departure to Danzhou, that is, on the same day that Yan Mingjun and Li Jin arrived in Danzhou, Li Qingyang had already obtained the approval letter for the application of naturalized citizens from the Haihan Civil Affairs Department in Sanya, and officially became naturalized Haihan naturalized citizens. This status meant that he was completely freed from more than a year of house arrest and surveillance, and was free to move freely in Haihan's area of rule - of course, this activity was still subject to the dispatch of the Ministry of Security, and he could not go wherever he wanted.

After Li Qingyang was officially naturalized, he soon received his first field assignment and went to Danzhou to investigate the disappearance of a Ming official. Speaking of this case, he was the first to discover the clues, and it had a certain relationship with him, so Hao Wanqing handed over the matter to him to investigate.

It sounds a little incredible, how did Li Qingyang, who was far away in Sanya, know that there were Ming officials in Qiongbei who disappeared in the "Liaoyuan Operation", which seems to make no sense in terms of reason, but it is so coincidental.

During the implementation of the "Liaoyuan Operation", the naval forces of the Haihan People's League blockaded the Qiongzhou Strait, and all ports and ships in the northern Qiongzhou area were temporarily blocked www.biquge.info.
