649 The Road to Appointment (3)

After the second time traveler conference, Emperor Cao, who was able to "take charge", fulfilled his promise and started to "import" time travelers again.

Different from the "predecessors", as the political power becomes stronger and less worried, the adaptation period of the "newcomers" has been shortened accordingly, and the time to "take up the job" has been greatly advanced.

Among them, Wen Guangjun is one of the few "newcomers" willing to work for the General Intelligence Bureau.

Although Wen Guangjun's "previous life" was not high-level, he had actually done political review work for a period of time, and came to the General Intelligence Bureau as a professional counterpart.

In fact, Wen Guangjun's joining is extremely valuable to the General Intelligence Bureau - most of the time-travelers who come from the military and police system understand the situation first, then pat their belly and go to the government office. Few are willing to do so.

Returning to the front line of the previous life.

Therefore, not long after Wen Guangjun came to work at the General Intelligence Bureau, Dai Yun, who was extremely short of manpower, parachuted him to the position of chief of the Fuzhou Station.

This arrangement is reasonable.

As the city with the earliest layout of the Cross Travel Group and the earliest establishment of intelligence agencies, today's Fuzhou has long been penetrated by the intelligence system like a sieve.

To put it bluntly, if one day they hear General Cao raising the flag of rebellion, there will be three, five or seven groups of people from Fuzhou rushing to the Governor's Mansion in a matter of minutes, intending to cut off the Governor's head to claim credit... maybe

These people will be in vain, after all, there are "comrades" in the Governor's Palace.

Who in the world doesn't understand Kun?

Therefore, Fuzhou Station is not actually a very energy-consuming place. On the contrary, Fuzhou Station, where all work is already on track, is actually suitable for newcomers like Wen Guangjun to get in touch with the "new society" and understand the situation.

At the same time, the General Administration transferred the original time traveler station manager to work in the northern region where the situation is more complicated. This is really a good thing for the intelligence system that is short of manpower.

Wen Guangjun, who took office in a hurry, has stayed in Fuzhou for a total of 4 months as of today, and he has just learned the ground. Then suddenly he received a notice that he had a reception job: Nan Wang Nan Station Director was passing by as a guest.

Naturally, Wen Guangjun is no stranger to reception work. In his previous life, he also received people from his brother's units. While arranging food and accommodation, he also assisted them in handling cases, catching fugitives and so on.

According to past experience, the process for receiving colleagues in the 17th century should have been similar. But this time it was a little different: Stationmaster Wen seemed ordinary, but in fact he paid more attention to this matter.

The reason is that Mr. Wen is now well-dressed, so he doesn't need to worry about the guests' food and accommodation. What interests Mr. Wen is that Nanwang is the first "same-level" indigenous elite he has met.

For a long time, time-travelers, especially "quick" time-travelers like Wen Guangjun, have to some extent experienced an adaptation process of identity dislocation.

From a loser to a master, from a social beast to a big boss, from an ordinary person to a prophet of salvation who knows astronomy and geography. While feeling the awe in the eyes of the natives, many travelers need to confirm frequently to prevent themselves from losing their position.

.

It took Wen Guangjun a long time to adapt to this sense of identity dislocation.

But this visit from Nanwang made Wen Guangjun's mentality, which he had finally managed to get in place, a bit confusing - at least on the surface, for most of the natives who were confused about the situation, both sides were equal.

So Wen Guangjun was actually very interested in Nanwang. He hoped to take the opportunity to communicate with Nanwang and adapt himself to dealing with indigenous elites.

Although the time traveled was not long, Wen Guangjun knew in his heart that with the pitiful number of time travellers, most of the positions in the new world would eventually be filled by indigenous elites. Not only did he have to adapt to being a master, he also had to learn to adapt to this.

A new change.

...However, facing the very interested Wen Guangjun, Nan Wang, one of the protagonists this time, has behaved himself since he got off the carriage.

Official style.

Nan Wang, who has been dealing with time-travelers from the beginning, can be regarded as an "old minister". Therefore, Nan Wang is very aware of everyone's inherent identity gap, and he is the same as Ming Jing in his heart.

This resulted in his response plan today.

From the bottom of his heart, Nan Wang didn't think he could be on an equal footing with Chuan Gui. He also knew that behind their gentle and knowledgeable faces, these people had huge mysterious powers and some inseparable internal connections. They were not "Xin Jin" like him at all.

You can take whatever you want up there.

There is also the most important point: Nanwang knows nothing about Wen Guangjun who airborne in Fuzhou, and does not understand his background and faction at all. This is the most important point. If you don’t know the details of the other party, don’t extend an olive branch randomly. After all, time travel

There are now many large and small gangs within the public.

So as soon as he met him today, he prepared himself to deal with the latter with all his might, just like a subordinate dealing with his boss.

Afterwards, Stationmaster Wen, who felt that the atmosphere of the meeting was not suitable, still followed the etiquette and accompanied the guests to lunch. When Wen Guangjun finally discovered that Stationmaster Nan, who had never been masked before, was indeed deliberately "reticent", he was completely

Lost the desire to communicate.

The reception activities that followed were mediocre to the naked eye. After the banquet, Mr. Wen casually assigned a subordinate to be responsible for receiving the guests. However, he himself lost his temper, slapped his ass and left.

For such an ending, Nan Wang was not surprised.

He has long seen that when working under the mercenaries of Time Travel, as long as things are done well, there is a high probability that a proper result will be obtained. There is no need to worry about the cold attacks of superiors and subordinates at all times like in the Ming Dynasty.

Having said that, this kind of internal atmosphere of low internal friction usually occurs within emerging groups or new regimes for a period of time.

The new group has no historical baggage, and the sun is rising internally. In addition, there are enough vacancies waiting for them, so the new group is usually high-spirited, cooperates with each other, and goes all out to the outside world, and factional strife is kept to a minimum.

——————————————————————————————————————

Since their interactions with local bosses were not very pleasant, the Nanwang team was naturally embarrassed to stay in Fuzhou as they did not have to be annoying.

So at noon the next day, after delivering the goods and loading some Fujian local specialties, the Dongguang Fu quickly set sail and left.

We continued northward along the coastline, and anchored in Taizhou, Zhejiang for a few days to avoid the storm. Finally, when the lookout on the mast of the Dongguangfu saw the big port in the distance, it was already mid-March, when spring flowers were blooming.

.

Great Shanghai has arrived.

Zhangsutan Port was once a private port for salt traders hidden in the tidal flats. Today, the dilapidated small fishing port has already become the leading large-scale comprehensive port in East Asia in the 17th century.

When there is still a long distance from Zhangsu Beach, first-time travelers will see a thin white line on the coast - the sea wall.

This is a hard seawall built of white stone, extending as far as the eye can see. I don’t know how long it is.

In the chaotic Little Ice Age of the 17th century, this seawall played a huge role in protecting the surrounding areas of Shanghai from the intrusion of sea tides and salt water.

Standing on the bow of the ship and looking south, at this moment, my face was full of pride and emotion, and I no longer looked as cautious as when I was in Fuzhou.

Zhou Yi on the side could understand Nan Wang's emotions. He knew that Nan Wang was from Hangzhou, not far from Shanghai.

In addition, according to Zhou Yi's knowledge: Nanwang has been active in the Jiangnan area all year round before he became the chief of the Seventh Section. In other words, Shanghai must be Nanwang's base camp and he has deep personal connections.

As expected.

When Nanwang and his group stepped into the headquarters of Shanghai Station, Mr. Xiong Daoxiong, who was the head of the Shanghai Station at the time, came out with a big smile. While shaking hands vigorously, Xiong Dao shook his head and said, "Okay, you've managed to survive."

,Promotion, Stationmaster Nan!"

"Shame, shame, Stationmaster Xiong. I belong to the villain Xin Jin, don't make fun of me!"

Seeing the unobtrusive communication between Mr. Nan and Xiong Dao, and recalling his caution when he was in Fuzhou, Zhou Yi immediately verified his earlier guess.

In fact, if we insist on dividing the factions into factions, there is no doubt that Nanwang is a member of the "Jiangnan faction" and an indigenous cadre.

Since the opening of the Shanghai port, Nanwang was transferred back to the Jiangnan area, and his working relationship at that time was at Shanghai Station.

In the next two or three years, Nanwang used his familiarity with the Ming Dynasty's gentry class, as well as his advantages as an indigenous "cultural man" and high-end espionage skills to assist Xiong Dao and other travelers to open up the situation in the Jiangnan region.

At that time, he played an indelible role and made many meritorious deeds.

This is also the reason why many travelers from the "Jiangnan system" regard Nanwang as one of their own.

In fact, Nan Wang's promotion was also behind the implicit recommendation and support of "Jiangnan Clan" Xiong Dao, Lu Cheng and other big bosses.

Therefore, when you arrive in Greater Shanghai, if you look south, you are truly on your own territory.

The next step is to truly catch up with the wind and wash away the dust.

The headquarters compound of Shanghai Station is located in Zhangsu Port, backed by the bustling Shanghai Beach, and has all kinds of supplies.

This time, Nanwang and his team were on their own territory. All the team members on the Dongguangfu disembarked and gathered public funds in the name of an undercover seminar...for team building, and they had a hard time eating and drinking for three days.

After the event, everyone stayed in a high-end hotel. When they finally left, everyone received a high-end souvenir and a big red envelope (conference subsidy), and they picked up a handful of imperialist wool.

Four days later, the Nanwang team, smelling of alcohol and with golden wind in their sleeves, said goodbye to the old leaders who came to see them off, left Zhangsugang, faced the fierce north wind, and rushed into the mighty Yangtze River.

But this time, the Dongguangfu was not a single ship entering the Yangtze River. There were as many as ten civilian merchant ships lined up behind the Dongguangfu.

In order to deceive others, Dongguang Fuhao flew the flag of a trading house affiliated with Shanghai Station.

The fleet went all the way up the river, passed Nantong, crossed Jiangyin, and passed through Zhenjiang... The subsequent impact of Cao Dashuai's huge ship bombarding Shanghai is still slowly exerting its effect today. Although there are many Ming officials along the way,

There are criticisms, but in recent years many water bandits in the Yangtze River waterway have been wiped out by "enthusiastic and courageous people".
