Chapter 144: Identity Exposed

After a few days, Chen Xin has a certain understanding of the current Daming Jiangnan region. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

During the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of road guides and restrictions have long been abandoned in the Jiangnan area, and after finding the way, the household registration is very easy.

After making a rough plan, Chen Xin handed over all the things to the newly appointed person in charge of the Jiangnan region, the original Tiger Ben Chen Tao, and left almost all the silver and 50 Tiger Ben.

After Chen Tao completed the household registration information, he found a way to donate the identity of a Guozi prison supervisor to facilitate his trading, and then bought some fields on the border of Suzhou and Hangzhou and established a manor as a base.

Now I am not familiar with the place, and it is not suitable to start a workshop, after all, the various relationships that the workshop needs to deal with are not yet smooth for my current side. For the time being, he first purchased all kinds of cloth and silk from nearby weavers, and also took advantage of the convenience of being located near the Yangtze River Canal to purchase various materials for himself.

When Chen Tao hoarded materials, Chen Xin was not idle, there was no need to worry about the hoarding of materials, so the transportation matter had to be hurried, when he came, he relied on the clipper to bully the sailors, but he couldn't do it every time, it took a long time to make people hold a grudge, and Chen Tao was also easy to expose.

Therefore, this time, it is necessary to get a set of legal means and clothes to protect their own industry.

After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, Nanjing still retained the status of the capital, and also retained a complete set of central institutions, including the six ministries, the Inspectorate, the General Administration Department, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Hanlin Academy, the Guozijian and so on are completely the same structure and grade as Beijing.

But to be honest, Nanjing's officials are not comparable to Beijing's, just like the six ministries, and the officials of Beijing's six ministries are cabinet members and prime ministers of national affairs. Nanjing's six ministries are all fictitious titles, and they don't have much power, at most they are in charge of local affairs in Nanzhili.

It's just that one of the departments is different, that is, the military department, Nanjing's military department is generally more powerful than other departments, because he generally has the title of counselor.

The Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, plus the eunuchs of the Nanjing town guard and the Nanjing garrison, the three people are all the affairs of the prime minister Nan Zhili.

The materials that Chen Xin wants to transport in the future are not a small amount, and it will definitely not work if the relationship is small, so he has to find one of these three people.

Among them, the Nanjing town guard eunuch can not be found, this year is the 7th year of the apocalypse, the second half of the year Chongzhen came to power, this emperor who was fooled by Wenchen since he was a child is very uninterested in eunuchs, the first thing to come to power is to clean up the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, and then dismantle Jinyiwei and Dongchang, this Nanjing town guard is a eunuch, the future Chongzhen has not recovered from Wenchen's flickering for a few years, what the fate is really difficult to say.

Then you can only find the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu and the Nanjing Garrison.

Nanjing Military Department Shangshu is a civil official, the conduct of civil officials in this period at the end of the Ming Dynasty is really a little unpredictable, if no one leads the way, this road is really not easy to walk, who knows what kind of person the civil official who wants to go to the door, this road is destined to be only a small circle of people within the civilian official to walk.

The Nanjing garrison is a lord, and this is a group that is incompatible with Wenchen. Since the Tumubao Change, the rights of the lords have deteriorated, and the Nanjing garrison has been one of the few real deficiencies of the lords. Many of the lords have already declined, and all of them started with the army, so it is easier to deal with.

Based on various news, Chen Xin decided to take the path of the Nanjing garrison.

Of course, it is impossible for Chen Xin to come to the door in person to ask for a meeting, that is a little unusual, the current Nanjing garrison is the line of Wei Guogong, the ancestor is Xu Da, a general under Zhu Yuanzhang, and their family's title is Zhenguo Fuyun Tucheng Wei Guogong.

Although Chen Xin did not attend Amin's enthronement ceremony, nor did he accept the will in person, in Amin's opinion, Chen Xin was dedicated to his Amin's throne, so he was also rewarded by the first-class duke.

are all dukes' titles, although one is the duke of the huge Central Empire, and the other is the duke of the grass platform team who doesn't know when it will perish, but no matter how the grass platform team is, this title still counts for the time being.

Of course, no one said anything now, but in the future, if it is in the history books, it is said that Chen Xin, the Duke Baba, came to personally give gifts to the Duke of Wei Guogong to ask for officials, it will be a shame and a big loss.

Therefore, Chen Xin arranged for his subordinate Tiger Ben Chen Shen to be the leader of this gift-giving, as long as Chen Shen can get a military attache position in a coastal area, then the route is considered to be open.

In the territory of the capital, there has always been a profession, the name of each dynasty and generation is different, but the work is the same, that is, to help people run relationships.

Chen Xinsa sent people to investigate everywhere, and finally collected the news, and there was a spectrum, there is a talent named Zhang Kai in Nanjing City, who has a friendship with most of the governors in Nanjing City, and his reputation is also good.

So Chen Xin decided to meet this Zhang Kai first, a staff officer put the fixed money of 100 taels of silver on the table, and the person didn't even look at it, but a tiger guard who had fought countless bloody battles, glared at him, and the person was polite, and obediently got on Chen Xin's big ship parked outside Nanjing.

As soon as Zhang Kai saw Chen Xin, he bowed his head and shouted in his mouth, "The villain meets the general." ”

When Han Da heard this, his hand holding the knife hidden under his wide clothes couldn't help but tighten, but he didn't act rashly and looked at Chen Xin.

Chen Xin smiled and waved his hand, and immediately relaxed.

"What's the matter, how do I always meet smart people, you're very interesting, others see my origin, and they all pretend not to know, why do you still say it with great fanfare, aren't you afraid that I will cut you?"

Speaking of this, Chen Xin remembered Song Zixiang he met a few days ago, and when he chatted later, he should have seen something, but he pretended to be very calm from beginning to end, and only his trembling legs when he left revealed a trace of the truth.

It is a big crime for the military generals of all dynasties to leave the station without permission, and there are not a few things to do for this extermination, it is normal for Song Zixiang to be afraid, and it is also normal to pretend not to know Chen Xin's identity, but what is going on with this person in front of him? actually made it clear that he was too smart or too stupid?

"General, the student also escaped from Liaodong, and he has a blood feud with the Tartars."

As soon as these words came out, even Chen Xin's face changed, and Chen Xin thought in his heart for a while and asked, "Accent?" Or hair? ”

That Zhang Kai raised his head, "First of all, the accent, although the person who invited the student changed the accent, but the student is from Shenyang, Liaodong, how can he forget, he heard it wrong at that time, and the student was not sure at that time, whether it was the Jiangmen of Liaoxi or the spy of Liaodong." Decided to check it out for himself. The student carefully observed everyone he had seen since he got on the boat, and found that all the hats were hidden by inches of hair, and the student finally determined that the general was a good man who had fought with the Tartars. ”

Chen Xin thought that he and the others wanted to dress up like that, but he didn't expect that there were flaws everywhere.

This was Han Da who asked with some curiosity: "How do you know that this inch of long hair is a good man who fights with Tartars?" What if we are traitors from the Tartars? ”

Zhang Kai said with a smile, "The use of Tartars has always been to use people who do not shave their heads, and they will never use shaved heads with their family members as threats, plus you obviously shaved your heads and cut your braids, which is a capital crime in Tartars, and those who can do such a thing, students can only think of being heroes who fight with Tartars." However, only 9 points were determined before, but now after listening to this hero's words, he is 10 into 10 sure. ”

Han Da touched his head and wondered, "Huh? How come you are sure that 10 is as soon as I speak? What did I say? ”

Kan Shu scolded with a smile, "You fool, how can the Tartars call themselves Tartars and scold yourself as a traitor." ”

Han Da reacted at this time and laughed along.

Chen Xin stared at Zhang Kai's eyes tightly and said, "You said that you escaped from Liaodong, what evidence do you have, if you dare to tell half a lie, you should be able to think of your own fate." ”

"The student's words are true, if there is a lie, let the general deal with it."
