After Wang Laixian and Huang Zongxi left, Zheng Guangying followed into the house.

Zhu Linmiao saw that he was coming, so he first ordered to cooperate with Huang Zongxi to rectify the salt tax, and then asked, "What happened to Governor Zheng?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are two things." Zheng Guangying said, "First, His Royal Highness ordered him to thoroughly investigate the corruption of officials in Guangdong. Now the subordinates have found out that the Li family of Xiangshan Zhixian County, the Zhang family of Yongmo General Soldier, the Wei family of Xiangshan City, and more than 30 of their subordinates have all received silver gifts from the Francophone people all year round, which is convenient for the Yi people.

During this period, the Franc machine man missed a large amount of taxes and silver, and built forts and forts in Macao on a large scale, and placed heavy artillery on them. Xiangshan County and the city Bosi ignored this, and even helped Yiren deceive Shangguan during the period when the imperial court sent people to investigate. ”

Although Zhu Linmiao had long known about the collusion of Guangdong magistrates with the Portuguese to sell the rights and interests of Macao in history, he was still extremely annoyed when he heard this, and said coldly at the moment: "The evidence is conclusive? ”

"Back to Your Highness, all the human and material evidence is complete."

"Okay." Zhu Linmiao nodded with a gloomy face, "They are all dismissed immediately and handed over to the Criminal Department for processing."

"By the way, you go to the Criminal Department to inform you, and in the future, the corrupt criminals will be dealt with according to the ancestral system, and they will be peeled and filled."

Zheng Guangying's eyelids jumped when she heard this, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, "Yes!" ”

Zhu Linmiao said again: "In this way, Fujing City Bosi should not be clean, you go back and check it together." ”

Zheng Guangying immediately said: "Your Highness Qiyu, in fact, your subordinates have already grasped the situation of Fujing City, but they are just ...... Among them, many courtiers of Tianxing Mansion were involved. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Linmiao was happy, "That's right, take this opportunity to check to the end, I have long wanted to rectify the court."

"But now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, Tianxing Mansion should not move too much. You collect the evidence first, and then clean up together when the Northern Expedition is over. ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Zhu Linmiao advised again: "By the way, you should pay more attention to the methods in the future." Suspicious officials can be questioned for questioning, but try not to arrest them at will, and torture must be avoided. Take people, use punishment, etc., and let the criminal department come forward and follow the process. ”

Every time Jinyiwei made a big move in history, it would make people panic and affect the normal operation of the imperial court. His goal is to build Jinyi Weinan Town into a department similar to the "Independent Commission Against Corruption" in later generations, which can fight corruption in a sustained, professional and effective manner, rather than making a bunch of tortured tricks.

Zheng Guangying hurriedly said: "Subordinates remember. ”

"And what else?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, his subordinates discovered half a month ago that someone was trafficking a large amount of contraband to Huizhou, and they pulled out three merchants in Fujing, Jiangxi and other places to collude with Jiangbei thieves and merchants to sell stainless steel, fairy stone powder and other things to Jiannu."

Zhu Linmiao said in a deep voice: "Have you caught them all?" ”

"Not yet." Zheng Guangying immediately explained, "The subordinates want to take advantage of their trade to wipe out the northern thieves and merchants, and they have now sent people to keep an eye on these merchants." ”

"Well, well done."

"It's a matter of subordination."

In a moment, the "person in charge" of the south and north towns of Jinyi Wei staggered by, and Gu Yanwu walked quickly into the main hall of the palace, and was about to kneel and salute.

Zhu Linmiao saw that he looked anxious, and hurriedly reached out to support him, "No need to be polite." Master Gu, what's the urgency? ”

"Back to Your Highness, there is indeed an important matter." Gu Yan said, "A few months ago, Zeng Jianyu rescued a prisoner named Gao Xiang to Beijing. The subordinates felt something was wrong at that time, and immediately sent someone to investigate the matter in detail, but the thieves were extremely vigilant, and it was not until a few days ago that the Beijing wire report came back. ”

He took a breath and continued: "After His Highness eradicated Tang Wei, Wang Yinghua's younger brother Wang Yingshi escaped by chance. Somewhere, he got one of the flint guns of the Dragon Guard, and went to Beijing to present it to Dolgon. ”

Zhu Linmiao frowned and said, "These national thieves! Why didn't you kill it cleanly? ”

Gu Yanwu continued: "Wang Yingshi rededicated the chieftain of Ji Yu, Yan Gaoxiang is familiar with the battle formation, and he can make him train the army. The captives followed their strategy and bribed the officers of the Nanping Inspection Department with 10,000 taels of silver to get Gao Xiang out. ”

Then Dorgon ordered a missionary named John to imitate the flintlock. According to the internal information planted by his subordinates in the Ministry of Thieves, it was learned that this Yiren had imitated a flintlock gun four months ago, but the fire rate was extremely low.

"More than three months ago, the thieves began to make a large number of flintlock guns, but fortunately, the fire rate is still not high."

The more Gu Yanwu spoke, the more anxious he became, "The flint is our army's weapon of victory against the enemy, and if it is used by the captives, it will be extremely unfavorable for me to recover the rivers and mountains." His subordinates have sent several dead soldiers, and there is a chance to assassinate the missionaries and the banquet in the near future, or they may be able to disturb their control of the guns......"

Zhu Linmiao shook his head and said: "That gun has been imitated, even if it stabbed Tang Ruowang, it would be useless, and it would cost my life as a righteous man."

"In fact, the thieves used a lot of flintlock guns, but the impact on our army was not great."

Seeing Gu Yanwu's puzzled expression, he explained: "Now our Dragon Guard Army has changed to use the Type 2 Hunter Gun as the main battle weapon, and its accuracy and shooting distance are far beyond the flintlock gun. If the two are fired at each other, the hunter with the gun will kill more than ten enemies, and it will be difficult for him to hurt one person.

"In addition, if you want to use the full power of the flintlock gun, you need to cooperate with the battle array. If Gao Xiang was Ke Yongsheng's subordinate, he would not be familiar with infantry line tactics. He either still used Ke Yongsheng's battle formation to teach prisoners, or he learned the tactics of the Dragon Guard, but he only had to take a few glances during the battle that day, and he would definitely follow suit. ”

He said in his heart, it would not be bad if the Qing army switched to the Morris phalanx in large numbers, and the infantry line was the most resistant to this densely arranged formation, and with the powerful penetration of the rifled guns, it was possible to kill two or three prisoners with one shot.

Gu Yanwu's expression eased slightly, and he nodded: "Since His Highness has already prepared, then his subordinates will rest assured." ”

"However," Zhu Linmiao changed his words, "this flintlock is much more powerful than the bird guns used by Jianyu in the past, but they can't just let them have a lot of equipment." ”

He pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up at Gu Yanwu and said, "Lord Gu, I'm going to send someone to Beijing, maybe it's possible?" ”

"It shouldn't be difficult to go back to Your Highness. The merchant surnamed Liang still has the handle in our hands, so we can make him do it for us. ”

"That's fine." The corners of Zhu Linmiao's mouth hooked up a smile, "Let's help Jianyu point out the crooked 'technology tree'." ”

"What tree?"

"Oh, nothing." Zhu Linmiao asked Gu Yanwu to come over again, carefully admonished him, and finally said, "If this plan is to be implemented smoothly, it is best to have someone who can speak in front of the chieftain, can Lord Gu have a candidate?" ”

Gu Yanwu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Your Highness forgives the sin, and the subordinates have not yet been treated as thieves and high-ranking officials." ”

Zhu Linmiao thought for a while and said, "You can try 'the water is too cold'." ”

"The water is too cold?" Gu Yanwu wondered.
