Chapter 246: Similar works

Five days later, the confidential documents sent from the capital were placed on Li Weizheng's table. He never expected that the things he brought were Li Jinglong's secret investigation report. Of course, Li Weizheng knew that this was indeed a very important document, especially after Li Jinglong became the commander of the Northern Expedition of the court, the information about him became particularly important.

The secret investigation report has three thick books, which covers Li Jinglong's family life, hobbies, local positions, court interactions, and military connections in extremely detailed analysis, and lists the catalog like books, making it clear at a glance. Li Weizheng also had to amaze the high investigation ability of the Jinyiwei.

He picked up the second book casually and opened the catalog. He wanted to find something he was interested in. Soon he found it. Li Jinglong was the commander-in-chief of Shandong for a year, and what he wanted was Li Jinglong's experience in Shandong.

Li Weizheng opened the content and wrote the report in a single chapter and then bound it into a book. Each report was copied by a special person, with neat small calligraphy, and there was no modification in one place. This made Li Weizheng read very smoothly. Moreover, these reports were written from the perspective of inquiry, which just met Li Weizheng's requirements for this report. He flipped a page casually and was immediately attracted.

"The commander and commander are good at memorizing. The books he read are unforgettable. He always lives with pride. He once said to his subordinates: "The court summoned me to ask about the army, and it would not be too late for me to read again the day before."

He turned another page and wrote: "Everyone commands to visit prostitutes and drink wine. Whenever he visits a place in Shandong, he must select a few special prostitutes to accompany him, from beginning to end, without exception."

‘The commander of the capital was quite interested in the terrain of Shandong and visited various places several times a year, but the most places he went to was Ling County. He also specially ordered people to draw a map of Ling County…’

‘Ling County?’ Li Wei was immediately walking to the wall and searching for the location of Ling County on the Shandong map. He quickly found it, located in the southeast of Dezhou, close to the ancient river. From the map, Ling County is not a strategic location, and it is even far less important than Dezhou. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered the personal soldiers around him: "Transfer my command and order the General Staff Office to send someone to draw the map of Ling County immediately. I want the most detailed one."

"Yes!" The personal soldiers were about to send an order, but Li Weizheng stopped him, "Wait a minute."

He took Li Jinglong's secret investigation report from the table and handed it to his personal soldiers, saying, "Give this to Lord Cao from the Office of the Staff, and ask him to find a few people to study it specifically. Be sure to organize a useful report."

After the personal soldiers left, Li Weizheng returned to the map and looked at the location of Ling County, Shandong. After a long time, he couldn't help but say to himself: "Li Jinglong, is it really you who changed the situation of the battle?"

The Baihuayuan in the capital is one of the most famous brothels in the Ming Dynasty. Especially the top Han Qianjiao here is hard to find, the more people they ask for. There is even a big business from Zhejiang who is willing to pay a fortune for a night, but he was still rejected. The Baihuayuan had no choice but to have no choice. The Baihuayuan was only listed in the Baihuayuan. As for how many guests they can pick up and what kind of guests they pick up, they can only decide.

The thing that a great master from Zhejiang, who was unable to get something, suddenly caused a sensation in the capital. Under the repeated requests of Baihuayuan, Miss Han finally spoke out that the wish-fulfilling husband she wanted was to come from a prominent family, the second was to be romantic and elegant, and the third was to be a hero in the world. He could drive a long cart to break through the Helan Mountain. All three conditions were indispensable, and these three conditions also became the focus of discussion in the capital.

If someone is interested, the one who can meet these three conditions is the royal family vassal kings. The second is Li Weizheng from Liaodong, but someone immediately opposed it. Li Weizheng's first rule was not in line with it, and there was no such thing as being romantic and elegant. But soon people discovered that Li Jinlong, the chief general of the Northern Expedition, was the most suitable man for Miss Han's conditions, and even had it.

Not long after, Miss Han disappeared from people's sight like May fireworks. Even Baihuayuan couldn't tell where she was. After a while, the people in the capital were really regretful, they gradually left this matter behind.

But there was one person who knew that he even knew what clothes Han Qianjiao wore, what wine she drank, and where she spent the night.

Jiangning County Baijiufang is a place where winemaking craftsmen gather in the capital. Nearly 10,000 households of winemaking craftsmen live here. Nearly half of the white wine in the Ming Dynasty came from here. However, after the military rations were tight, the court began to strictly control the grain used for winemaking, and the winemaking industry also plummeted. Many brewers even secretly bought sweet potatoes to make wine to make wine to make a living.

But there are also unaffected families. There are at least three workshops in the Baijiufang that are not affected by the control of grain. They are half-officials and half-private, and each has its own ways. One of them is called the Osmanthus Flourish Shop, which is famous for brewing Osmanthus Flourish Shop. The wine is sweet and sweet, and has a long aftertaste. It has a history of a hundred years. The Osmanthus Flourish Shop was originally opened in Suzhou Prefecture. In the early years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang moved 300,000 craftsmen from all over the world to Beijing, and the Osmanthus Flourish Shop is one of them. Although the Osmanthus Flourish Shop is located in a remote corner of the Baijiufang, the wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Its fame is still produced day by day. Many famous restaurants in the capital use their wine to attract customers.

As the grain supply began to tighten, although the osmanthus shop did not stop work, the output decreased a lot, and basically it was not sent to major restaurants. It was sold in its own shops, and wine buyers lined up every day.

As usual, in the afternoon, several cavalry guards came to the Osmanthus shop to buy wine. The one who bought the wine was a maid. She was Han Qianjiao's personal maid who had been missing for nearly half a month. It was Miss Han's habit to drink two glasses of osmanthus wine every day, and it must be the osmanthus wine brewed that day. Therefore, the maid's task was to buy a small pot of wine every day. It has been like this every day for half a year. She used to be a clerk from the Baihuayuan, but now she has become a cavalry guard.

This actually reveals the whereabouts of Miss Han. She went to the military camp. To be precise, she was touched by Li Jinglong's romantic literary talent. After he was now living in the military camp with him and becoming his confidante. Li Jinglong's request for Miss Han was very obedient. Not only did he move all the things in her original room, they arranged exactly the same as they were, but they also specially customized a mobile tent for her that was twenty-pinned. This tent became Li Jinglong's own palace. He could command a 500,000 army, so it was no problem to live in such a small tent.

In addition, he also met some of Ms. Han's special requirements, including the maid who escorted her every day to buy osmanthus wine. Li Jinglong even thought about bringing the osmanthus wine craftsmen to the military camp, but Ms. Han told him that the osmanthus wine can only be made by using a well water behind the workshop, and nothing else can do, so Li Jinglong gave up.

There was already a long queue in front of the Osmanthus Hotel shop, so Miss Han's maid naturally didn't have to line up. She carried Miss Han's jade pot and went straight into the workshop, while several cavalrymen were guarding the door.

After a moment, she came out with a pot of freshly brewed osmanthus wine. The shopkeeper followed behind and nodded and gave her a handful of money to each of the cavalry as if he was pleased. The cavalry all accepted it with a smile. The maid smiled at the cavalry and said, "Let's go back!"

The cavalry happily rolled over the horses and guarded the carriages. The maid got on the carriages. The carriages immediately started and drove straight to the northwest.

The shopkeeper looked at them with a smile until they disappeared. A sneer flashed in his eyes and immediately whispered to several friends: "I'll go out to do business, you guys are on the shop."

Half an hour later, the shopkeeper of the Osmanthus Wine Workshop appeared in a secret room without windows. Ji Gang was sitting behind a table and was carefully opening a secret letter written on the white silk, fearing that the ink traces would stick together, but fortunately, no word would stick together. Ji Gang read it carefully first, then handed it to his confidant next to him and said, "Come on the letter."

He then looked up and asked, "Did she bring any message?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "We dare not say a word. This white silk was given to me by the maid in the treasure banknote."

Ji Gang smiled and said, "Now your task of osmanthus wine has been completed. Next, you have to go to Jinan and open a wine shop called Lulingxiang. You should use the same process as osmanthus wine. It's just a little different. I guess Ms. Han will contact you in a month."

"I understand. I will set out to Jinan Prefecture overnight tonight."

The shopkeeper left, Ji Gang took out a stack of information that had been copied from a box. He smiled proudly. As expected, Li Jinglong, the playboy, was unable to resist Han Qianjiao's temptation in the end and took her to the military camp. Now Han Qianjiao has sent him a lot of information by buying wine, describing Li Jinglong's personality traits in detail, including his weaknesses. At the same time, Li Jinglong's Northern Expedition strategy also came out one by one. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. The role played by Han Qianjiao can be as good as the 500,000 army.

"Sir, I've copied it, it's a good word."

His confidant handed over the manuscript, Ji Gang took it and looked carefully. It should be said that this was the last piece of information sent by Han Qianjiao in the capital. The 300,000-strong army of the court will set off north tomorrow, but not in Hebei, but in Jinan. Li Jinglong was going to seize the military power of Sheng Yong. In addition, due to the financial crisis in the court, the supply of the army was not so timely. Li Jinglong began to feel dissatisfied with the court, which is a phenomenon worthy of attention.

Ji Gang was very satisfied with this information. Li Jinglong seized power in Jinan and could not finish it in just one or two months. In this way, the King of Yan could completely concentrate on dealing with Qin and Jin.

He immediately sorted out more than twenty pieces of information and handed it to his confidant: "Bind it immediately and send someone to give it to His Highness Yan immediately."

The next morning, the 300,000 Northern Expedition Army stationed on the south bank of the Yangtze River finally set off. Hundreds of thousands of families of the army came to the riverside to see off their relatives. The densely packed teams even extended to more than ten miles away. The soldiers hugged their wives and children and looked at them for the last time, and finally turned around and shed tears to the north. The 300,000 army flags were waving, and the black team could not see at first sight. Dozens of large ships were constantly transporting the army across the river.

In the middle of the army, there was a huge white oval tent that was particularly eye-catching. This tent placed on a huge wooden board had wheels under it, pulled by twenty war horses. This was Li Jinglong’s private tent. At this moment, Han Qianjiao, dressed as a man, was sitting at the entrance of the tent with her cheeks. Her affectionate eyes were staring at her beloved man, wearing silver armor, and a white horse and dragon horse under her crotch. Li Jinlong, the chief general of the Northern Expedition, was already fascinated by this beautiful girl, and even let her wear men's clothes to hide in the army. At this moment, he seemed to feel the beauty's autumn waves and smiled slightly at Han Qianjiao in the tent.

At this time, a soldier rushed over to report: "Master, the emperor is here to see him off, just waiting by the river, please go there quickly."
