Chapter 40 Yao Guangxiao’s invitation to go south
The north and the south are fighting fiercely, and the whole world is competing for the upper hand. When this hero uses force.
Who is Yao Guangxiao?
Is he a very restless person who wants to achieve great things from the bottom of his heart and doesn’t care what happens to the world? All he cares about is the process of doing great things.
Now Yao Guangxiao is in Beijing and has almost nothing to do.
He Xi has to regulate everything around him. Strict rules and regulations have been formulated, although in Yao Guangxiao's view, they are a bit cumbersome. Although this restricts many people from playing for a long time, it ensures the lowest level for many people.
Just like a frontline general, if a general only listens to the opinions of his staff and fights, he must be a mediocre person, but he will probably not make any big mistakes. But I am determined not to give too amazing a victory.
People like Yao Guangxiao are born with impatience and restraint.
He Xi was previously surrounded by the Caotai team, and many things were very casual. Now Hexi's requirements for those around him have become more formalized.
Yao Guangxiao understood He Xi.
He Xi is not a rigid person. His formalization is not for He Xi himself, but to set rules for those who come after him. After all, he likes the institutions he built to last for a long time.
So a lot of things need to be prepared in advance.
But this made Yao Guangxiao very uncomfortable.
With this kind of formalization, Yao Guangxiao has less and less room to play. Yao Guangxiao wanted to do something through the intelligence agency, but he actually had to file a report. It was simply unreasonable. Yao Guangxiao can only be ignored by everyone in Beijing. But there is a lot of potential in other areas.
Especially now, Yao Guangxiao wants Fang Xiaoru to know that money is not so fun.
So Yao Guangxiao immediately went to find He Xi. Explain your feelings to He Xi.
"You want to go south? To Nanjing?" He Xi shook her head and said, "No, it's too dangerous. There are many people in Nanjing who know you."
Yao Guangxiao said: "Sir, it is precisely because there are so many acquaintances here that I want to go, so that I can catch up with them."
He Xi understood what Yao Guangxiao meant, was silent for a while, and said, "No, let's forget it. I don't want Mr. Yao to be put in danger."
Yao Guangxiao said: "Sir, you know me. For me, I will not joke with my own life. And don't you see the opportunity? How big is the so-called banknote exchange of Nanjing Bank?" There is room for maneuver. Once Nanjing encounters financial problems, many things will be easy to handle."
"This is victory over the imperial court."
"Besides, I didn't just go to Nanjing for this one thing."
He Xi naturally knows how much profit margin there is in the matter of banknote exchange. Even He Xi is not prepared to make money on banknote exchange, just to give Nanjing a heavy blow. This is an excellent way.
It's just that this kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do.
Nothing can be done without superior wisdom.
Forget about ordinary spies, they just inquire about information, analyze intelligence at most, and add assassinations and the like. Ordinary people can do it. But such a big action is not something ordinary people can do. There are few talents under He Xi's command, probably only Yao Guangxiao can do such a thing.
However, He Xi was really worried about Yao Guangxiao.
However, he was also curious about what Yao Guangxiao saw?
He Xi asked: "What else does Mr. Yao want to do when he goes to Nanjing?"
Yao Guangxiao said: "There are too many problems surrounding the death of Duke Wei. Although I don't know the inside story in Beijing, I can feel the resentment of many upper-level people in Beijing towards Zhu Yunwen. This is something we can take advantage of. place. Before the war started, your Excellency never considered wooing these nobles to defect to Beijing, thinking it was impossible. Now I think it is possible."
"This possibility is enough for us to try."
He Xi heard what Yao Guangxiao said and began to think about it in his heart.
Although He Xi sent many people to Nanjing to investigate information, in many cases they were separated by one layer. There are many things that He Xi may not be able to figure out.
However, one thing is true
Determined. That is, the problems among the upper class in Nanjing are getting bigger and bigger.
This is probably caused by two problems. First, Zhu Yunwen was establishing his authority and usurping a lot of interests. Many people were favored and had great status during the Hongwu period, but they are no longer able to do so now. This situation is normal.
The so-called emperor and his ministers.
The second is military reform.
Nanjing's military reform encountered resistance several times and dozens of times greater than that of Beijing.
After all, the strength of the Beijing Guards Army was quite small, and He Xi spent a lot of money, so it was considered a redemption. Many Northern troops moved from the garrison to the Forbidden Army, and they were all very happy. Without him, the Forbidden Army will give you money. And there are a lot of them.
From this perspective, a lot of the military expenditures He Xi spends are to appease lower-level officers.
Tell them not to cause trouble. As long as the most capable army does not cause trouble, the upper-level officers can solve it in batches.
But it’s different here in Nanjing.
After all, Xu Da is old and soft-hearted in many things. In other words, he didn't want to make enemies for the Duke of Wei, so he just muddle along with many things. For example, in essence, the Southern Army was actually a Weisuo Army that had changed its tactics, even though it had a staff organization. The transformation from the guard system to the recruitment system has still not been completed.
Perhaps in Xu Da's view, although the current health system has problems of one kind or another, it is running pretty well.
There was no need for major surgery.
But even so, if anything is to be accomplished, it will ultimately fall on people, thus forming a personnel struggle. When Xu Da was there, he was still able to suppress him, but when Xu Da left, Fu Youde took over. Fu Youde's status was incomparable to Xu Da's.
But with Zhu Yunwen's support, Fu Youde suppressed the army's opinions.
But this contradiction has not disappeared.
In short, in Yao Guangxiao's view, there are too many flaws in Nanjing. Yao Guangxiao's talent has no place here in Beijing. But in Nanjing, it is different.
Yao Guangxiao was very excited and wanted to see if he could bring trouble to the court with the power in his hands.
As for risks and whatnot. Yao Guangxiao didn't care at all, he just felt it was exciting.
He Xi still tried to persuade Yao Guangxiao first, but looking at Yao Guangxiao's expression, he knew he couldn't persuade him.
Yao Guangxiao is not a peaceful person at heart.
He Xi thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yao, must we go south?"
"Please help me, sir." Yao Guangxiao said.
He Xi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me one thing. The success or failure of the Nanjing incident is not important. What is important is that you come back alive. After all, I still need you to resist open and secret attacks."
Yao Guangxiao said: "I understand."
He Xi picked up the pen, wrote a handwritten letter, sealed it, handed it to Yao Guangxiao and said: "Everything goes well, no need to say more. If anything goes wrong, you can take this to Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong is the best in the world. Smart man, he will definitely save your life. However, it is limited to saving your life. I can't guarantee other things."
He Xi knew very well who Li Jinglong was.
Under the current situation, it is impossible for Li Jinglong to support Beijing. After all, Li Jinglong's industrial foundation is in Nanjing, and he will not offend Zhu Yunwen.
But as long as Beijing maintains its current situation and has the possibility of dominating the world, Li Jinglong will not put He Xi to death. We will leave some favor with Beijing. So when Yao Guangxiao was desperate, he went to Li Jinglong. With this letter, Li Jinglong would have no problem in saving Yao Guangxiao's life. In order to ensure his own safety, Li Jinglong is likely to put Yao Guangxiao under house arrest.
Nothing can be done. Or simply send it back to Beijing.
Therefore, Li Jinglong can only be used as a fallback route, but cannot do other things. It is not even easy to win over. After all, people like Li Jinglong think very clearly about what they want, and most things cannot be tempted. his.
Yao Guangxiao naturally understood this, and he said: "Please rest assured, sir, I also want to see what direction you will lead this world, and I will not take risks easily."
. Moreover, I am also very familiar with Nanjing. "
He Xi said: "Remember to bring more people, safety first. If it doesn't work, the Thirty-six Strategies are the best." ap.
Yao Guangxiao said: "Don't worry, but you should also pay attention to some people in the palace. That person in the palace is never easy to mess with."
He Xi nodded carelessly. Yao Guangxiao felt a haze in his heart. This was what he was most worried about. He always felt that He Xi trusted and indulged Zhu Xiongying too much. It's just that he can't change anything, he can only sigh secretly in his heart.
