In the city of Nanjing, the Tiger Character Banner Foreign Intelligence Bureau has stationed many secret spies here.
The day Fan Wencheng moved into the Honglu Temple Posthouse, he was already under the radar of these secret spies. Every day, wherever he went and which official's house he visited, he could not escape the eyes of these secret spies.
"We can't just watch the Dog Tatars and the Ming Dynasty cooperate to deal with our Tiger Flag!" Wang San said with a look of reluctance.
Fu Yunchun grabbed a handful of peanuts from the table, put them in front of Wang San, and said at the same time: "We can't stop the alliance between the Gou Tatars and the Ming Dynasty. It's like a benefactor meeting a bitch. Sooner or later, she will come to your door. .”
"Then we can't just do nothing! Just watch them join forces to deal with us?" Wang San asked, reaching out and picking up a peanut from the table.
The shell of peanuts fried in a pot is relatively crispy. With a little force of your fingers, you can pinch open the shell of the peanut to reveal the peanut kernels wrapped inside.
Fu Yunchun ate a peanut and said: "The alliance between the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty will definitely resort to force in the end. What we can do is to send the news back, so that the lord and the others have more time to prepare, and they will be on the battlefield in the future." Defeat the troops of the Dog Tatars and the Ming army."
"It's so damn frustrating." Wang San swallowed the peanuts in his mouth and said with a look of hatred, "Just watching the dog Tatars jumping around in front of my eyes, but I still can't do anything. It's cheap. This dog is a Tatar."
As he spoke, he punched the table with his right fist.
Seeing this, Fu Yunchun comforted him and said: "Our mission is to lurk here and send news here to the rear. Isn't it more important for the rear to entrust us with such an important task than to kill a Tatar?"
"Two Tartars!" Wang San was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment.
Fu Yunchun said: "Fan Wencheng who came to Ming Dynasty was a Han before, but now he has become a Tatar in Liaodong and works hard. Isn't he a second Tatar?"
"They are such two Tatars!" Wang San suddenly realized, and immediately said, "Calling them two Tatars is really appropriate."
Fu Yunchun smiled, pointed at the peanuts on the table, and said, "Eat the peanuts. When you finish eating, you can go back. We still have to keep an eye on him at the Honglu Temple Post House. Although we won't kill him for the time being, we still have to keep an eye on him." To know what he does every day.”
"Forget it, I won't eat. I've been a bit angry in the past few days. It's not fun to go to the latrine after eating too much." Wang San stood up, picked up the hat on the table and put it on his head, turned around and left.
Fu Yunchun stretched out his hand and pulled the peanuts Wang San left in front of him, and said, "He is also unlucky. I spent a lot of money to buy these peanuts, and they are all said to be good."
As he spoke, he pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
A confidential letter was quickly sent out from Fu Yunchun's residence.
The Tiger Flag has a special route leading to the north from Nanjing. It is usually used to deliver news from Nanjing to Peking in the shortest time.
The news of the renewed alliance between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was immediately sent out of Nanjing City through secret channels by Nanjing's secret agents, and as long as the secret message entered the rule of the Tiger-Character Banner, it could be sent back openly through the inn.
All the news coming back from spies from all over the country will be concentrated at the headquarters of the Foreign Intelligence Agency.
A dedicated person divides the information into different levels according to different content, and decides whether it needs to be sent to Liu Heng's desk, or whether it needs to be reported specifically.
As soon as the news of the alliance between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was delivered to the headquarters of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, it was immediately brought to Yang Yuan.
With such important news, Yang Yuan did not dare to delay, and immediately took the secret letter conveying the news and rushed to Qianqing Palace to see Liu Heng.
Being an emperor is never an easy job, especially when a country has just been founded. One careless move can cause all previous efforts to be in vain.
Although Liu Heng did not ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, what he had to do was no different from that of the founding emperor.
There are endless official affairs to be handled every day, and we have to meet with a large number of Tiger Flag officials every day, especially the heads of several directly subordinate departments and bureaus. They often need to get together to discuss official affairs for the future development of the Tiger Flag.
"Lord, Director Yang is outside asking for an audience!" Zeng Yuanxun came to Liu Heng and whispered in Liu Heng's ear.
Hearing this, Liu Heng raised his head and said, "Bring him in!"
Zeng Yuanyuan retreated and went outside to lead people.
Liu Heng smiled at Li Shuheng and Huang Zhong in the hall and said: "Yang Yuan is here. Every time he, the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, comes here, he always brings some unfavorable news to the Tiger Flag, and you just happen to stay. Let’s listen together.”
Huang Zhong has been in charge of various workshops in Tiger Flag from the beginning.
Today, he is equivalent to the Minister of Industry in the Ming Dynasty.
"Subordinate, please see your lord."
After Yang Yuan entered the main hall, he bowed to Liu Heng.
The Tiger Character Flag does not pay attention to kneeling and saluting. Generally speaking, subordinates will only bow to their superiors when they see them.
Liu Heng looked at Yang Yuan and asked: "I told them just now that when you, a member of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, come here, there must be something important. Tell me, what is it about this time?"
Li Shuheng and Huang Zhong also looked at Yang Yuan.
They are all senior members of the Tiger Flag, and have long been firmly tied to the Tiger Flag. Only when the Tiger Flag is better, will they be better off, and vice versa.
So when they knew that Yang Yuan had brought news, they were also curious about what happened.
"The Foreign Intelligence Agency's secret agents in Nanjing sent back news that the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have officially formed an alliance, and troops will be sent from the north and the south to attack soon," Yang Yuan said.
After hearing this, Liu Heng smacked his teeth and said, "I have never taken action against those people in Ming Dynasty. Let these people think that our Tiger Flag does not dare to do anything to them. It seems that we are going to beat them up."
"We have been preparing to annihilate the Manchus. Now we suddenly change the direction of the attack. It will be difficult to bring back the supplies that have been sent to Denglai and Shanhaiguan in a short time." Li Shuheng said.
The goal set by the Tiger Character Banner is to deal with the Manchus in Liaodong. After the matter in Liaodong is resolved, they can then go south to deal with the weakest Ming Dynasty.
Because the Tiger Banner went to war with the Qing army in the Liaodong Peninsula, the Tiger Banner took this opportunity to start transporting military supplies to Liaodong to prepare for the next war, and it would not attract too much attention. After all, the Liaodong Peninsula was already in Going to war and transporting some supplies used to be normal.
Once the combat target is changed to the Ming Dynasty, it will no longer be appropriate to store supplies in Shanhaiguan and Denglai.
Moreover, preparing combat readiness supplies cannot be accomplished overnight, and Tiger Character Banner will not be able to obtain another combat readiness supplies in a short period of time.
If you want to deal with the Ming Dynasty, you can only mobilize the supplies stored in Shanhaiguan and Denglai to use them in the war against the Ming Dynasty.
