Chapter 94: Intelligence
After sending Tong Yangxing away, Fan Wencheng sat in the front hall for a while, thinking about the things he talked about with Tong Yangxing.
Fight North Korea and open the sea route.
"It's not easy."
His family knows his own affairs, no matter how weak North Korea is, it is still a country, although Houjin is strong, after all, he has just injured his vitality and forcibly sent troops to conscript North Korea, where is this battle so easy to win.
Thinking about it, Fan Wencheng felt a headache.
With a long sigh, Fan Wencheng stood up, planning to go back to his room to rest, and the concierge came to report that Deng Boyang, the leader of the Han army with a blue flag, was visiting.
Blue flag?
Fan Wencheng pondered for a moment, sent someone to invite him in, and went to change into civilian clothes and then folded back.
"The lowly Deng Boyang has seen Ming Gong."
Deng Boyang is in his thirties, with a burly body and a fierce temperament.
It was originally a bandit in the eastern Liaodong territory, and it was only incorporated into the Han Eight Banners a few years ago.
Fan Wencheng sat down and smiled: "How did General Deng think of coming to Fan today." ”
The two of them talked about the quality of the anecdote, Deng Boyang, as the assistant leader, was to be on top of Fan Wencheng's pen post style, the so-called pen post style is equivalent to Huang Taiji's personal secretary.
However, the prime minister's door is a seven-rank official, not to mention Fan Wencheng, the 'emperor' secretary.
Deng Boyang was also unambiguous and said straight to the point.
"Fan Gong, since the death of Amin Belle, the hearts of the two blue flags have fluctuated recently."
"Well, that's to be expected." Fan Wencheng didn't react much, and said very plainly: "General Deng, as the leader of the blue flag, should still have a snack on this matter and appease the emperor." ”
It's a very casual sentence, and the taste of coping is also on the paper.
Fan Wencheng is sleepy now, and he just wants to send this Deng Boyang away quickly, and then he can rest for a while.
Deng Boyang's face was embarrassed, and he continued: "Duke Ming, now there are many rumors below, and when the emperor failed miserably at Shanhaiguan, he said that the Mandate of Heaven is still in the Ming Dynasty." ”
One sentence made Fan Wencheng's face change greatly, and even the sleepiness dissipated without a trace, and he lowered his face to look at Deng Boyang: "Shut up!" ”
After being reprimanded, Deng Boyang did not react, and continued to chase after him.
"Dare to ask Ming Gong, now that there is a serious shortage of food in the country, the cubs under the command of the lowly are waiting to be fed, and they are about to be swallowed alive.
"The Eight Banners are full of food, but our Han Eight Banners are short of food and clothing, so favoritism, how can Ming Gong let the humble position calm the hearts of the army?"
Fan Wencheng was forced by Deng Boyang's series of questions, and his face was extremely ugly.
"The times are difficult, and it is the time when we should work together, let alone gossip and distract."
Deng Boyang got up and bowed down to Fan Wencheng: "Then please ask Ming Gong to give me a humble position and show us the way to the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, what should we do now to get through this critical moment of lack of food." ”
Fan Wencheng opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed the words again, squinting his eyes at Deng Boyang.
"General Deng, you have to ask the emperor about this."
"A humble position, a mere leader of the Han army, how can you see the holy face," Deng Boyang said: "Ming Gong accompanied the emperor, and I hope that Ming Gong will show you." ”
Fan Wencheng didn't want to say it, but in the face of Deng Boyang's constant questioning, he could only show a hint of tone.
"The emperor has made a decision to take grain from North Korea and postpone the disaster."
Deng Boyang asked the answer, and then said happily: "Can this matter be reported in order to calm the hearts of the army?" ”
"Yes."
"That being the case, I retire from my position." Deng Boyang left, and Fan Wencheng stared closely.
This Dun Boyan is not right.
Fan Wencheng's suspicions rose, and he always felt that Deng Boyang's reckless behavior of coming to him to find out the direction of the wind was too weird, and at this moment he was completely sleepy, and he called a whisper from his henchmen.
"Closely monitor the whereabouts of this Deng Boyang."
"Lord is worried, General Deng is clear treason?"
Fan Wencheng nodded: "The emperor has just suffered a big defeat in Shanhaiguan, and the people in the country are moving, and it is necessary to predict, Deng Boyang was originally born as a bandit, how can he be loyal at all, if he really has a conspirator to cooperate with the enemy, he will immediately report it to the soldiers and horses patrolling the city, and kill him on the spot!" ”
"Yes."
Fan Wencheng's suspicion was by no means superfluous, Deng Boyang did not rush to the army as soon as he left Fan Wencheng's mansion, but returned home, walked into the study with a gloomy face, and in the study, a man in cloth sat here and waited.
"General Deng."
Seeing Deng Boyang come in, the man got up and made a move.
Deng Boyang didn't say anything, sat down opposite the man, and picked up the tea bowl and beef drink.
Wipe your mouth, open your mouth.
"Huang Taiji is going to fight North Korea."
The man was stunned at first, and then immediately asked, "Did Fan Wencheng say this himself?" ”
"That's right." Deng Boyang snorted: "As for believing it or not, that's your business, I've already found out the tone for you, what are you going to do next." ”
"Of course, it's back to Beijing." The man said excitedly: "As long as Your Majesty has a letter of state to be repaired in North Korea, then North Korea can take precautions as soon as possible, and Huang Taiji's desire to collect food from North Korea is a fool's dream." ”
Deng Boyang smiled lightly: "However, you can't spread the news." ”
The man's face suddenly changed: "What does General Deng mean by this?" ”
Deng Boyang said lightly: "On the way back, there is a tail to follow, I dare to guarantee that if you walk out of my house with your front foot, you will be arrested and tortured and interrogated with your back foot, and when the time comes, I am afraid that even Lao Tzu will have to confess." ”
The man panicked: "How is this good?" ”
"Scared?" Deng Boyang squinted: "This is Shenyang, not Guannei and not Beijing City, here, the eyeliner of the Manchurians is all over the city, and there are big traitors like Tong Yangxing and Fan Wencheng who are willing to be their minions, it is not realistic for you to spread the letter." ”
The man shook his head: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to send the letter out, does General Deng have a good plan?" ”
"Lao Tzu has a good idea." Deng Boyang sneered: "Lao Tzu is only responsible for talking to you, don't think about plotting to send letters, I still want to put this head on my neck for a few more years." ”
The man hurriedly said: "Gonggong Cao said, as long as General Deng is truly my Ming Dynasty, after pacifying Liaodong, the general can be promoted to the next level." ”
"Huh."
Deng Boyang smiled contemptuously, and then shook his head: "You have to have a life to enjoy being promoted to a knighthood, and now you can't even go out of my house, and you still expect Lao Tzu to deliver a letter for you?" I can't do this errand. ”
When the man saw that Deng Boyang couldn't move, he had no choice, and then he thought of the idea of exchanging his life, but Deng Boyang rejected it.
"It's useless, I said, according to Fan Wencheng's suspicious nature, since he has now suspected me, then anyone who goes out of my mansion, a corpse, will be strictly investigated, your stupid method is useless."
The man was like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth anxiously.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, is it possible to watch Huang Taiji reorganize his army and attack North Korea, if he really lets the thief chieftain occupy the land of North Korea and plunder the grain of North Korea, then this Liaodong will be difficult to pacify in ten years and eight years."
Deng Boyang was unmoved, and drank tea with a calm face.
He is a bandit, not Wen Tianxiang.
Since ancient times, there has been no noble virtue Deng Boyang who has not died, he took the initiative to contact the intelligence officer named Qin Yi in front of him, and it was only because of the defeat of Huang Taiji's Shanhaiguan, if Da Ming's luck is endless, he can be regarded as leaving a way back.
In order to survive, there is no shame.
With such a greedy character and fear of death, do you still want to expect Deng Boyang to be willing to sacrifice heroically in order to send this information?
He doesn't have the qualities of an intelligence officer.
Qin Yi stopped and looked at Deng Boyang.
"There's a way."
"Oh?"
"In the first battle of Shenyang, the Guanning army had more than 10,000 soldiers, if Huang Taiji really planned to move troops against North Korea, he would definitely reorganize these soldiers and scatter them into the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.
"It's not that easy."
Deng Boyang still shook his head: "You have no name and no surname, and you appeared out of thin air in Shenyang, I don't have the ability to incorporate you into the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty." ”
"General Deng can't do it, but Tong Yang has this ability." Qin Yi said: "The general can go to Tong Yangxing to help with this." ”
"Him?" Deng Boyang raised his eyebrows: "I can't talk about a deep personal relationship with Tong Yang, and this matter may not be able to be moved." ”
"I heard that Tong Yang is greedy for money and lustful......"
"Do you have any money?"
"I don't have it below, but the general does."
Deng Boyang was happy: "I feel that I will do things for you, and I still have to pay for it myself?" Oh, there are such ridiculous things in the world. ”
Qin Yi stubbornly said: "When it comes to the future, this money will be repaid in full, no, three times as much." ”
"It's empty talk again, Wangmei quenches her thirst."
Deng Boyang shook his head: "What are you guys, what are you called the Intelligence Bureau, either you are talking about the feelings of your family and country, or you will promise a bunch of invisible and intangible mirrors, and you can't take out any practical things, so you want to fool others into working for you, hehe, it's too self-righteous." ”
Qin Yi stood up and looked at Deng Boyang: "General Deng's help is also helping the general himself, isn't it?" In the future, when the king redefines Liaodong, whether the general wants to be added to the rank or wants to drown Quantai with the infamy of being a traitor, it all depends on how the general chooses himself. ”
"Threatening Lao Tzu?"
"Don't dare."
Deng Boyang gritted his teeth and finally sneered.
"Okay, I'll help you again, but the ugly words are in front, if Tong Yangxing doesn't help, Lao Tzu will kill you and die without proof, so as not to be dragged into the water by you."
Qin Yi went to the end.
"Yes!"
(A few days ago, my right eye was injured, and I had a few stitches, some of which affected my vision, which was really unfavorable.) )
