Xia Nan smiled happily: "So, not only Xiong Wencan cares about me, but even Chongzhen is also registered?" "If it is the distress of someone else's sleepless night, he will not see a little trouble here.

Zhou Guoxin lowered his head, pretending not to hear his disrespectful address to the emperor, and said: "Actually, don't worry, we were sent here just to understand the details of the Qiongzhou camp, after all, before the appeasement, the imperial court didn't know anything about you." In recent years, the imperial court has not had much to do to restrain the generals who hold heavy troops, and Zuo Liangyu is an example. ”

"If you succeed in this mission, what will happen after that?"

"Sending local Jinyi guards instead of sending people from the capital shows that the upper authorities are only dealing with the saints, and they don't pay much attention to it. According to past experience, that is, the news that came in was reported, put it on the shelf, and then it was gone. ”

In the summer, the south couldn't help but wonder, bureaucracy not only existed in the old time and space, but also surpassed the Ming Dynasty.

He tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and muttered: "Your Excellency the Governor cares about me so much, does it mean that the entire Liangguang officialdom will take his lead and reject my Qiongzhou battalion?" Although he relied on the overwhelming advantage of force, he was not afraid of the government, but his business was in Guangzhou, and it was easy to dodge the open gun and difficult to defend against the dark arrow, and it was a matter of minutes for the government to give him eye medicine.

Zhou Guoxin shook his head: "That's not the case. Since the previous Wang Zhengtai insisted on suppressing thieves, since the three divisions, officials of all sizes have deviated from him. Although the new Xiong Zhengtai is not as tough as his predecessor, after the Shengshang decides to reset the governor, the Guangdong officialdom will not be peaceful, and officials of all sizes will stand in line again, and the days of making Taiwan will be gone forever. ”

"Really?" Xia Nan was in good spirits, it was good to have a Jinyiwei by his side, and he knew the inside story of officialdom well - one of the most important tasks of Jinyiwei was to monitor officials, "That is to say, in addition to Xiong Wencan, there is also the governor of Guangdong officialdom, which can be relied on?" ”

"Exactly. Although Xiong Zhitai is the governor of Liangguang, after all, he is an outsider, and he has been divided by the governor with a lot of power. The new governor Mu Daren has been an official in Guangzhou for many years, and his roots are deep enough to wrestle with Xiong Zhengtai. ”

Xia Nan asked: "If I want to make friends with a bigwig of Guangdong officialdom and cover the business of Guangzhou City, so as not to sabotage all kinds of ghosts, snakes and gods, is it a good choice for Governor Mu?" ”

Zhou Guoxin thought for a while: "Our Jinyiwei has placed high-level officials in Guangzhou, as far as I know, Mu Futai has opposed the conquest and suppression of Bofu since he was appointed as the political envoy, and after the siege and shelling of the Qiongzhou battalion, he even advocated appeasement, as if he once moved the mind of recruiting the Qiongzhou battalion as a fubiao, because Gao Xun pressed to obstruct it, so he gave up. Looking at it this way, it should be feasible to make friends with Mufutai. ”

Xia Nan took a breath of cool air, Jin Yiwei knew the political opinions and tendencies of officials, and even what he thought in his heart, which showed the strength of Jin Yiwei's monitoring. It is no wonder that the officials of the Ming Dynasty heard that the color of the factory guard changed, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty were really not good. However, if you think about it from another angle, it is a great good thing to have such a person for your own use, and it is very beneficial for you to be able to grasp the trends of the entire Guangdong officialdom.

He said to Zhou Guoxin: "Jinyiwei's information is very useful to me, you still don't want to play the world evaporate, go back to Guangzhou directly, hand over this trip first, and then say, the identity of the hundred households must be retained." As for the matter on Lingao's side, it's not very urgent, you send your men to help me put up the shelf first, and then take my time. ”

Before he gave Zhou Guoxin a chance to choose one of the two: either pretend to be dead, deceive the Guangzhou side, and stay in Lingao; Either return to Guangzhou on the grounds of failure in the mission, accept the punishment, and continue to be a hundred households in Jinyiwei. Judging from the information provided by Zhou Guoxin just now, it is obvious that staying in Guangzhou as a double agent is more useful to the Qiongzhou battalion, and as for the formation of the reduced version of Jingaowei, it can be temporarily handed over to his subordinates, and the shelves will be set up first.

Although Zhou Guoxin didn't understand the meaning of "evaporation in the world", he understood the meaning of Xia Nan and asked him to return to Guangzhou to do his old job, he was still very willing, staying in Guangzhou for a while longer, it is better than moving to Lingao immediately, at least there is a buffer and adaptation process. immediately agreed: "I am willing to serve General Xia as a dog and horse!" ”

"You rest for two days, and then come with me to Guangzhou. I have some things to do, and by the way, I will meet this Governor Mu. ”

"It's all up to General Xia's orders."

A few days later, Zhou Guoxin finally stepped on the ship back to Guangzhou, recalling his previous encounter at sea, as if he had been separated from each other.

Lin Weiye also traveled. One of the purposes of Xia Nan's return to Canton was to recruit enough craftsmen and tailors to meet the needs of the expansion of the arsenal and the establishment of new clothing factories to equip an army that had doubled in size.

"Is there any other purpose? Just looking for some craftsmen and tailors, you don't need to go out yourself, right? At the bow of the "Yangming", Lin Weiye asked Xia Nan.

"Hehe, it's a good partner, I can't hide anything from you." Xia Nan smiled: "In addition to recruiting craftsmen and tailors, we also need to buy some Chinese-style Fu ships to prepare for future maritime trade, and there is indeed an important goal: to establish a network with Guangzhou officialdom, and pave the way for Tiannan Commercial Bank and Qiongzhou Ying to go out of the island and go to the mainland." ”

The amount of information is a bit large, Lin Weiye didn't pay attention to it for a while, and asked: "You have beaten Guangzhou to a pulp, and you still have to have a good relationship with others?" Also, what does this have to do with our heading to the mainland? ”

"First of all, I corrected your concept, I didn't beat Guangzhou to a pulp, I just blew up a few houses near the city gate, and then repelled a group of people's bravery, oh, and by the way, I got rid of a few broken sampans of the sailors, Guangzhou City is good, I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, I didn't even step into the city gate. As for what it has to do with us going to the mainland, it is difficult to say clearly in one or two sentences, let me tell you, as long as we do not rebel with a clear banner and completely overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty, then if we want to stretch our hands to the mainland, we have to follow the existing rules of the game, and the line of officialdom is a shortcut. ”

Lin Weiye seems to understand: "You still play with these political means, I don't understand it, I want to understand, I still honestly study my technical ......"

"Haha, you're right, we have a clear division of labor, I'll play with my belly, you work on your skills, Dean Lin!" Xia Nan pointed in the direction of Guangzhou, and then pointed to the north: "Guangzhou is more about economic issues, and we will return to Shandong in the future, and then we will think more about political issues!"
