"It's him!" Zhuzi was a little surprised.
Before coming, Yang Fan told him about the important slave-building figures in Shenyang City. The focus is on Dorgon.
The master's original words were that this man was as cunning as a fox, as ruthless as a wolf, as wise as a demon, with forbearance and ambition. The master values him even more than Daishan.
This man's face looked blue, as if he was not in good health. It's more like a sick man. Although Zhu Zhu never studied medicine. But special training involves some medical knowledge of battlefield rescue. He could tell that this man was in very bad health, and he didn't look like someone who would live long.
Hong'er glanced at Zhu Zhu strangely. She didn't think there was anything surprising about this man. They are just young dignitaries, probably all the children and grandchildren of the old chieftain.
The two of them came to East Street. There were many shops here and they looked a bit prosperous. However, Hong'er soon became disappointed. Most of the shops along the street sell materials imported by the Ming Dynasty. These things are not considered good in Daming, but the price here is more than ten times more expensive.
Occasionally there are some souvenir shops that sell skins and the like. Deer antlers don't appear until autumn, and that's when the antlers are cut to collect blood. After walking around for a few times, Hong'er only bought some Dongzhu, planning to go back and make a necklace.
The pillar pulled her into the alley next to the main street. Zhuzi looked up and saw the three characters "Huichun Hall" written on the plaque. Judging from the name, this is clearly a pharmacy.
Zhuzhu entered and gestured to the guy at the door. The guy immediately turned around and went back to the back hall.
After a while, an old man dressed as a doctor came out and saw a young couple. He cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if your distinguished guest comes to our store to get medicine or to see a doctor."
"My wife always has chest pain, three times at noon and five times at midnight. I wonder if my husband can cure it," Zhuzhu said.
"It can be cured, it can be cured, but the consultation fee is five cents."
"I don't have five coins, I only have two or three coins."
The doctor was surprised when he heard Zhuzhu's secret message. Realize that the big shot is coming. He quickly said: "That's enough, that's enough. Please come in, please come in."
Only then did Hong'er realize that this was a stronghold set up by the master. It is used to lurk here to gather information.
Jiannu paid more attention to three types of people. One is the craftsman, who can create various objects and is the basis of handicraft industry. One is actresses and prostitutes, who can enrich amateur cultural life. There are also doctors and veterinarians. Can treat people and animals.
This intelligence point uses the doctor's identity as a cover.
After entering the inner room, closing the doors and windows, the old doctor raised his hands and said, "I am the old man Guo Chengwen. I am the head of the Shenyang Intelligence Station. How do you call me Shangguan?"
Zhuzi did not speak, but took out a wooden sign with a brave animal carved on it. Hong'er took out the same wooden sign with a peacock carved on it.
Guo Chengwen took a breath of air. This was someone sent by the master himself. Especially this girl, she looks young, but she is a special correspondent. The status is still above that young man.
"Our Shenyang station is directly under the leadership of the master. How can we cooperate with you two when they come to Shenyang." He simply did not ask about their roles. When you see the peacock token, you just need to follow the arrangements. Do all the coordination work.
The three of them finished cooking on the chairs. Guo Chengwen made tea with his own hands and made a bowl of tea for the two Shangguan.
"Stationmaster Guo, have you ever heard of Liu Xingzuo?"
"Liu Aita, of course, knows that this person is the popular person in front of Nurhachi. He is also the prince-in-law. He is a big figure in the top power circle of Jiannu. However, I heard that a few years ago, his mansion caught fire and he was burned to death. ." Guo Chengwen said.
"Liu Xingzuo faked his death. He took his younger brother to Pi Island and took refuge with Mao Wenlong. Now, he is in the capital and has taken refuge with the master. The brothers ran away, but their mother was not brought out. We are here to take care of him this time. The old lady will pick it up and take it back to Daming."
Guo Chengwen was shocked. Liu Aita was an important official in the establishment of the slaves, and he was no ordinary person. He faked his death, so the situation behind the scenes must be serious. The brothers abandoned their mother and ran away, which shows how urgent the situation was at that time. This thing is very dangerous.
"How do we need cooperation from Shenyang Station?" Guo Chengwen knew in his heart that since the establishment of Shenyang Station, it has not taken on any major tasks. Every day, I collect prices and spy on people's livelihood according to the master's requirements.
Start by establishing slaves as servants of high-ranking officials and nobles, and then gradually penetrate. This all takes time. Over the past year, it has been all trivial information, but has never achieved any major achievements. This time, we must seize the opportunity. This is an important task arranged by the master himself.
"How many manpower do you have available?" Zhuzi asked.
"I can't tell you this, it's discipline. But what I can tell you is that I can mobilize about thirty people to cooperate with you. And I can notify you at any time if there is any trouble in Shenyang City." Guo Chengwen said with a smile. .
"Okay, the first task is to check where the old lady is most likely to be locked up. As for how to rescue her, we will talk about it later."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now. As long as people are in the city, we can always find clues by digging around bit by bit."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Zhu Zhu was about to stand up and leave. Suddenly an idea struck me. Asked: "Do you know anything about Dorgon, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner?"
Zhao Chengwen sighed: "This is a miserable, unlucky child. He fell from the sky into the mud pit. However, this man was tenacious and able to endure it. He climbed out again. He also took back the Zhengbai flag. Age Although he is small, he is a great person.”
Lao Zhao said and gave a thumbs up. It is not easy to get praise from your enemies. It can be seen that this Dorgon does have some abilities.
In the officialdom, it is not easy to get back up after falling. Many people have permanently withdrawn from the circle of power competition.
Zhuzi was stunned when he heard this. When he was young, he fell from officialdom.
Seeing that Zhu Zhu didn't understand the situation, Lao Zhao explained Dorgon's situation.
Nurhaci gave birth to a total of 16 sons, among whom Azig, Dorgon and Duduo were all born to Nurhaci's last concubine Abahai. Moreover, in his later years, Nurhachi also favored Dorgon and Duduo, especially Duduo, who was even more favored by Nurhachi.
A common problem among men is that they love their homes and their wives. If you like this woman, you will love the children she gave birth to. In ancient China, this kind of reason led to the abolition of the elder and the establishment of the younger.
In the eleventh year of Tianming (1626), Nurhaci allocated most of the Niulu from the Two Yellow Banners he personally controlled and awarded them to Azig, Dorgon and Duoduo. The three brothers each received 15 Niulu, Azig and Dole. Gun divided the Xianghuang Banner equally, and both of them served as the small banner lords of the Xianghuang Banner. Duduo received half of the Zhenghuang Banner, and he himself also served as the small flag owner of the Zhenghuang Banner.
The two yellow flags were personally led by Nurhaci. They are the two most powerful flags among the Eight Banners. Later, after the flag-changing incident, the two yellow flags were changed to two white flags by Huang Taiji.
When Zhuzi heard this, he frowned and said, "Look at the time. It was just after the old slave chief Ning Yuan was injured by a cannon. Looking at this arrangement, does the old slave chief intend to pass the throne to one of the three brothers Dorgon?"
