Chapter 2 Raiders of King Liao (3)
Since he met the four people, Zhu Zhi asked the four people to play, saying that they were going to play, but in fact he was running outside the city to hunt horses, hunt and practice martial arts.
Through the competition between several people, Zhu Zhi gradually became familiar with these buddies. Chu Zhi is undoubtedly the best martial arts among the people. He used to chopping a sabre with a narrow blade of seven feet long, and a small tree with a size of a bowl can be cut with one knife, which is quite powerful.
The second only to him is the twin boss Qu You. This guy is born with divine power and his usual weapon is a mace. This thing is originally the Hu people's power, but in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, many Han generals gradually like this powerful weapon. He can walk 80 rounds in Chu Zhi's hands.
The third is Xiao Ma Wang Wan. He is used to using silver spears and is good at using bows and arrows. It seems that he has the taste of Li Guang and Hua Rong.
Zhu Zhi is the worst. Although Tang Zi entered his body and knew martial arts, as a prince, he was naturally not as good as the military men who were sleeping in the barracks. However, Zhu Zhi was also satisfied, and he could at least decide the winner in Chu Zhi's hands for 30 rounds.
The twin brother Qu Yuan is a real scholar, and he has no power to fight with chickens. However, after several exchanges, Zhu Zhi attaches great importance to this person. The entry point of looking at problems at a young age is very accurate. He should be his own think tank, but at present, he has little experience and has not made friends for a long time. I am afraid that he will not be able to take the big responsibility for a while.
In fact, Xiao Chenzi also has skills, but Zhu Zhi really can't tell how good he is. Once he forced Xiao Chenzi to fight Chu Zhi. After Xiao Chenzi and Chu Zhi ten moves, he knocked the weapon away. Xiao Chenzi hurriedly bowed to the weak. However, Zhu Zhi always felt that he had not done his best. He also communicated with Xiao Ma Wang in private, and he thought so.
Xiao Chenzi has always been a shadow in his heart. On the one hand, he has many secrets, his relationship with the prince, and a secret intelligence network he has is also under his control. But on the other hand, he can't regard this person as a confidant. It may be because of his understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty. Eunuchs have always been associated with conspiracy, corruption, autocracy, spies and other words.
Speaking of being close to the little horse king, who is not as good as the sun, he is handsome and always has an optimistic face. When he sees him, he always has a smile on his first glance. But who knows that he is a founding father in the family. His father was a founding father, but he still has to bear the traction after he dies. The eldest brother was demoted to Yunnan. His father's mansion had long been confiscated, and his family only guarded his mother in a small courtyard next to the military camp. Such ups and downs did not make this person lose his optimism in life. The key point is that his smile is very clear, making it easy to see his heart. So in Zhu Zhi's mind, he is the most trusted person.
Within a few days, Xiao Chenzi also sorted out the information system according to his instructions. Faced with such a list of as many as a hundred people, Zhu Zhi was surprised that he had mastered a large-scale intelligence network.
This intelligence network is divided into two levels. The first level is the intelligence sub-sectors in various places. Among them, Peking is the largest in each place. There are 21 people in the military. The government officials and other government officials have their own intelligence personnel. The most secret is the undercover hidden in the Yanwang Mansion. He only has one code name - Xianyu, and he doesn't know his name or position. According to Xiao Chenzi, this important undercover agent was confessed by Xiao Chenzi's ex-girlator. No one knows the identity of this person. However, every once in a while, information about the Yanwang comes, and an intelligence officer in the capital handed over to him.
In addition, there are a certain number of intelligence networks around the King of Qin, King Jin, and King Ning. Not only that, Mongolia, Goryeo, Annan, Yunnan and other places also have certain intelligence sources.
The largest intelligence network is the intelligence organization in the capital, with as many as 30 people, and Zhu Zhi himself was directly under the jurisdiction of some important information. Some of the important information was not even passed through Xiao Chenzi's hands and was directly transmitted to the mansion by a dedicated person.
There is also a special name for such an intelligence network - Chen Yuan. To be honest, Zhu Zhi was not satisfied with this name. He had an idea and ordered Xiao Chenzi to change his name to Wujian from now on. This was the first thing Zhu Zhi changed since the Ming Dynasty.
He felt a strange thing. How could such an intelligence organization be allowed to exist when the East Factory was not established and the Jinyiwei was in power?
Xiao Chenzi revealed the answer to him: "Chen Yuan was established by the Prince in Hongwu in the tenth year of Hongwu. At the beginning, it was to understand the scenery of various places. Since the divisions in various places were covered by merchants and the number of people was small, it was not discovered by the Jinyiwei. After more than ten years of development, it has also reached a certain scale."
At present, there are a total of ten "divided seats" in "Wujian". Zhu Zhi felt that this was far from enough, so he ordered Xiao Chenzi to start establishing four more "divided seats" in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Lianghu, Luyu and other places. He wanted to distribute Wujian's minions to the entire Ming Empire.
Currently, there are more than 30 pieces of information sent to the mansion every day, most of which are trivial matters. The most ridiculous thing is that even the county magistrate of a certain place touches the widow's bed. Zhu Zhi has to spend at least two hours to read this information every day, but many of them are valuable information.
Zhu Zhi suddenly thought why Zhu Yuanzhang complained in the will. As an emperor, he read hundreds of memorials every day, so the emperor could not read them alone. Now he felt tired when reading dozens of information every day, so it would be strange if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have the headache.
It seems that establishing a reliable and loyal intelligence analysis team is about to be put on the agenda, but Zhu Zhi is not at ease with Xiao Chen Zi to take over this position. However, Zhu Zhi thought of a compromise solution and asked Xiao Chen Zi to read this information to him, which also reduced his strength.
On that day, Xiao Chenzi read a few pieces of information to him, all of which were trivial matters. Zhu Zhi felt drowsy when he heard this. Xiao Chenzi saw that he was like this and was quite clever. He took one and said, "Prince, there is something fun here."
Zhu Zhi said: "Remember it and listen."
Xiao Chenzi said: "This payment was handed over by the Ministry of Rites. Yang Zirong, a student from Jian'an, said that Yang Zirong, who was a filial piety from his father at home, returned to Beijing after three years of conscientious service. When he passed by Hangzhou Prefecture, he encountered bandits intercepting the road. Yang Zirong, who was captured in the mountain village, actually persuaded the bandits to attack the county town. On the way to the county town, he escaped in the dark and ran into the county town to report the news. As a result, the bandits were caught by the county yamen runners who had been prepared in advance."
When Zhu Zhi heard the name, he felt a little familiar, and quickly raised his spirits and said, "Oh? Isn't this a good thing?"
Xiao Chenzi said again: "No, this is a good thing, but the result of the matter is wrong. When Yang Zirong ran away, he brought out a young widow who was captured up the mountain. The young widow may not be willing to be insulted on the mountain, and then hanged herself after returning to his hometown. The hero who had originally destroyed the thief was suspected of destroying the reputation of the widow. The whole story of the matter was reported to Hangzhou Prefecture by the county magistrate. Because he was a student of the Tai, the Hangzhou Prefecture could not take care of it. Finally, he went to the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites believed that Yang Zirong's behavior was hindering the great defense. Although he had made contributions, he could not resist it. He removed his fame and drove him out of the Taixue."
Oh? Hearing this, Zhu Zhi quickly got up and took the information and started reading it. This report made Zhu Zhi look angry and happy. What was angry was that this was really an era when it was unreasonable or morally unreasonable. Yang Zirong kindly rescued the widow, but he was suspected of destroying his reputation. In the end, not only did the credit be cancelled, but his fame was also lost. It was really outrageous.
But the surprise brought to him by this information is self-evident. This great student named Yang Zirong is not a household name. He gallops through the forest and snow fields, with box cannons in both hands, and full of slanderous words. This Yang Zirong from Jian'an, Fujian is Yang Rong and Yang Mianren, who will be known as the "Three Yangs" in the early Ming Dynasty.
Yang Rong was one of the famous "Three Yangs" prime ministers of the Xuande dynasty. Because his hometown was in Fujian, he was known as "Dong Yang" and was the main creator of "Ren and Xuan Sheng era". He was also a person known for his talent among the Three Yangs. Chengzu first entered the capital and wanted to enter the palace. Rong welcomed the horse head and said, "Do you visit the tomb first, and ascend the throne first?" That is to say, you go to visit the tomb first or become the emperor first. As a result, you wake up the dreamer and help Chengzu stabilize the world.
Although he was a Jinshi from Jianwen, he knew how to judge the situation and defected to Zhu Di. Although this person was not a loyal minister, he did not know the truth of those corrupt scholars. Isn’t it the person he needed? Besides, he used this person’s talent, and these Confucian scholars in ancient China knew best to let themselves stand in a safe place. As long as they became stronger in the future, they would naturally be loyal to themselves.
Yang Rong was a Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen. His name was changed only during the Yongle period. During the Hongwu period, his real name was Yang Zirong. But why did he get rid of fame and fortune at this time because of such a broken thing? It was a big deal to get rid of fame and fortune in this era, which means that the hardships of the past ten years have passed.
History has changed in this branch, maybe this is his chance. Haha, Zhu Zhi jumped up from the chair happily and shouted: "Xiao Chenzi, transfer this person's file quickly." Not long after, Yang Zirong's file was placed in front of Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi browsed briefly and understood a little in his heart. Then he ordered to go to the Imperial Academy immediately.
The Imperial Academy told Zhu Zhi that Yang Zirong had been dismissed five days ago. The in charge found a student with good relationship with him and asked him, and then he found out that he had already gone to Chenghuang Temple to set up a stall. Zhu Zhi didn't think about it and went straight to Chenghuang Temple.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing relied on the wealth of Jiangnan and quickly recovered its prosperity. By the 20th year of Hongwu, the population had exceeded 800,000, making it the largest city in East Asia at that time. This City God Temple is right by the Qinhuai River. In that time and space, Zhu Zhi had been there, but the scene in front of him was simply a difference between heaven and earth from later generations. The entire river is three miles long, and the roadside is full of shops, such as Wanhe Restaurant, Gaoji pawn shop, and Jinji rice shop, which is a prosperous scene.
There were many pedestrians on the road, shoulder to shoulder. Zhu Zhi and Xiao Chenzi walked slowly among the crowd with horses. Xiao Chenzi asked people on the road from time to time, but soon the two realized that Yang Rong, who had just been here to set up a stall for a few days, was not very well-known. After asking several people, they said that they didn't know that there was such a person.
The bored Zhu Zhise snacks on the streets were attracted by the snacks on the small stalls. What are lotus seeds and osmanthus cakes, duck blood soup, osmanthus candy, and many foods that cannot be named, so Zhu Zhi’s mouth is full of fragrance.
The food was good, but the business was not done well, so Zhu Zhi and the others had to continue wandering on the street. Seeing that the sun was about to noon, they ran to a small stall with duck blood soup to drink soup, and then they had to serve two cakes to eat. Suddenly, Xiao Chenzi pulled Zhu Zhi's sleeve and said, "Wang... Master, look at that one."
