Capital, Wuying Palace. The chamberlain handed Xia Yuanji a bowl of tea. Xia Yuanji took a sip, put it on the tray, and continued: "The logistics bureau has been allocated 500,000 guan of money and 200,000 shi of grain. The local prefecture and county warehouses have fully opened up the official system." The warehouse is for the dispatch of the army. The chief envoys of Henan and Shandong will report immediately, hoping to take this opportunity to allocate the grain from the relief warehouse to the army." Zhu Yunwen looked at several documents and asked with some worry: "Now it is just In July, it is nearly half a year before the end of the year. At this time, relief warehouses are used to store grain. Once a disaster occurs, how will the local government respond? At that time, the capital and the south will allocate to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall?" Xia Yuanji said seriously: "Your Majesty, Officials from the Chief Envoys of Shandong and Henan also took this into consideration. They reported that due to the government's policy of not disturbing the people, not being harsh in administration, and not raising taxes for many years, more than six households among the people had enough food to last half a year, and the remaining 40%, the stored grain can be used for one to three months, and most people have some spare money at home, so they can purchase grain on the market. Although the relief warehouse is used, it will not affect the overall situation." Yang Shiqi on the side saw that Zhu Yunwen still had some problems Worried, he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, we need time. Using relief warehouses in Shandong, Henan and other places at this time may affect the use of disaster relief in the future, but it can buy time for the army's logistics and prevent the army from delaying fighter planes due to logistics." Xia Yuanji glanced at Yang Shiqi gratefully and said, "I think we can temporarily open various local granaries and then replenish them slowly, or the local government can purchase the grain stored by the people."
"Then let's do it." Zhu Yunwen thought about it again and again and agreed. Xia Yuanji reported again: "The quotas for corvee recruitment have begun to be issued. Shandong has mobilized 300,000 people, Henan has mobilized 200,000, Beizhili has mobilized 300,000, and Shanxi has mobilized 200,000, with a total of one million people to support logistics. Shaanxi, Logistics in Western Xinjiang and other places are provided by themselves, including Western Xinjiang and Gansu. The western granaries and military warehouses are enough to support the 50,000 Beijing troops for half a year. If they enter Western Xinjiang, they can be self-sufficient." Zhu Yunwen nodded solemnly: "According to Western Xinjiang, The logistics system that was explored during the expedition rationally allocated civilian forces, divided them into groups, and requisitioned a large number of civilian vehicles, camels, horses, donkeys, etc. This battle has a bearing on the overall situation and cannot be lost. Injuring and abusing the people is strictly prohibited in the logistics If it happens, once it is found out, we will never be lenient!"
"Accept the decree." Xia Yuanji agreed. Just when Zhu Yunwen was about to ask where Xu Huizu's army had arrived, the chamberlain hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, Huo Lin from the Security Bureau has asked to see him, saying that he has an urgent matter."
"Let him come in. You guys should stand down for now. If anything happens, report it immediately." Zhu Yunwen looked at Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin and others.
Everyone retreated, and Huo Lin hurriedly walked into Wuying Hall.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yunwen asked looking at Huo Lin who was saluting. Huo Lin looked around, took out a document, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Security Bureau has received a secret report from the local government." Zhu Yunwen saw Huo Lin's concerns, raised his hand to signal the chamberlain to exit the hall, and walked out to take the document. , opened it, looked at it, and closed it with an expressionless face: "The trick of moths flying into the flame reminds people of the White Lotus Sect's bewitchment technique. After many years, the imperial court has eradicated its power several times, but there are still remnants active. "?" Huo Lin whispered: "It is not yet known whether the White Lotus Sect is involved in this matter, but its rebellious intentions have been revealed. In addition, the Security Bureau did find that wealthy households, wealthy families, and gentry from various places, including some places Officials were active, and a group of merchants appeared outside Jinling City, especially near Tongji Gate, Jubao Gate, Jinchuan Gate, Sanshan Gate, and Jiangdong Gate. They did not bring goods or open shops, but they brought many clerks. , staying at his residence all day long, seems to be dormant." Zhu Yunwen smiled lightly: "It can be seen that someone is taking action. The emptiness caused by the departure of the Beijing army is considered to be an excellent opportunity. This is indeed his opportunity, I will solve it His chance." Huo Lin was not as calm as Zhu Yunwen, but felt his shoulders were heavy: "If they are allowed to enter the inside and outside of Jinling, it may cause chaos in the future and be detrimental to the safety of Jinling." Zhu Yunwen waved his hand confidently: "It doesn't matter, don't If you want to move them, let them move, let them move. The chess game has been played so far, and it is not these small characters who determine the outcome. A conspiracy has been revealed one layer after another. It is time to see the bottom. Let the Everyone who comes, come." Huo Lin was bitter.
More and more unknown forces are entering Jinling, which has put great pressure on the Security Bureau. In particular, senior security officials Liu Changge, Pang Huan and others have left Jinling. At this time, they are establishing an espionage network on the three islands of Japan, relying only on themselves and Tang Buping wondered if he could cope with such a chaotic situation.
Zhu Yunwen saw Huo Lin's uneasiness and said with a smile: "There are many things and the situation is chaotic, but there is only one key core. Grasp the core and let other chaos go, and everything will be solved in the end. You have to prioritize things." There is only one key core. ?
Huo Lin suddenly realized. Yes, all the chaos is not directed towards the Jinling Jingjun, nor towards the Six Ministries, but towards the imperial palace, to be precise, towards Emperor Jianwen.
All arrangements and strategies are operating around him. The Security Bureau's response strategy should not be to deploy manpower to defend and attack everywhere, but should be arranged around Emperor Jianwen and around the imperial city, no matter how large the scope is. One point, that is, the main streets around the imperial city.
"Do you understand what to do?" Zhu Yunwen was relieved when he saw Huo Lin. Huo Lin relaxed a lot: "I understand, Your Majesty, I will go back and arrange it right away. During this period, the Security Bureau may need to rent and buy some houses." Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly: "Go ahead and do it, but you must remember Keep it secret, and in addition - transfer the local security bureau to Beijing." Huo Lin looked at Zhu Yunwen in shock, looking a little uneasy.
The meaning of this sentence is already obvious. The emperor suspects that the Security Bureau may have been penetrated. Zhu Yunwen said sternly: "Being able to avoid the security bureau and scouts, stay safely in the capital without being discovered, and also be able to strategize in the capital and lead to a world-wide attack. In addition to their own secretive actions, is there anything else? I am not sure that the internal personnel of the Security Bureau are secretly cooperating. But extraordinary times require extraordinary measures, not to mention that once people from the Capital Security Bureau branch are transferred, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of secret persons." Huo Lin nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, transfer Which local security bureau is suitable to join Beijing?" Zhu Yunwen said softly: "Zheng Dacheng from Fujian, Mei Zhiyun from Huguang, Lin Zhaoxue from Fengyang, Xu Sanqian from Jiangxi, and Liang Ruoshui from Hangzhou." Huo Lin wrote down the names one by one.
Needless to say, Zheng Dacheng made great military exploits in Western Xinjiang and provided a large amount of intelligence for the army to conquer Western Xinjiang.
Mei Zhiyun severely defeated the White Lotus Sect in Xiangtan. This person was a disciple of Xue Xia. His father was in the security bureau and he was loyal and reliable.
Lin Zhaoxue was born in martial arts and had participated in the Annan War. As a member of the Security Bureau, this person was Guo Luan's disciple, and he and Tang Buping were more or less a family member.
Xu Sanqian and Liang Ruoshui are the new talents in the Security Bureau. They both have the dual identity of Beijing Army and Imperial College students. Before they graduated, they were secretly transferred and worked in the Local Security Bureau.
Xu Sanqian once entered the chieftain's stronghold alone. While talking and laughing, he chopped off the head of the chieftain and held the head in his hand to intimidate all the chieftains, so that the chieftain who was ready to rebel would no longer dare to resist.
This is a ruthless person who will risk his life if he fights. Liang Ruoshui also did many great things in Hangzhou. What he was best at was delivering letters to Hangzhou county officials.
Every time the Security Bureau detects corruption among officials in Hangzhou, colludes with large households, and brutalizes the people, they will write a letter and deliver it to the official's bedside at midnight. The last sentence of the letter must be: If you don't plead guilty at dawn, you will be punished at night.
This arrogant method frightened the officials in Hangzhou, and some officials impeached Liang Ruoshui of the Security Bureau.
After all, the local security bureau has no emergency situation and does not even have the authority to arrest people, let alone kill people.
Every time Liang Ruoshui heard someone sue him, he would calmly retort: Unjustly accused. No one has evidence that the letter was written by Liang Ruoshui.
There have been cases of officials dying at night in Hangzhou, and there were more than one. Huo Lin knew that it was Liang Ruoshui who did it, but Liang Ruoshui said that they died immediately while doing sports.
Zhu Yunwen was very secretive about these matters and did not express his position at all. Because of Liang Ruoshui's existence, Hangzhou Prefecture can now be said to have a clear officialdom.
The emperor followed the law and followed the normal procedures. The worst he could do was take off his hat and clothes and leave. But Liang Ruoshui was unruly and walked in the dark. He even issued a murder notice at every turn. If you don't plead guilty, your head is not safe. Just plead guilty, and then I was lucky enough to think that the sin was not too serious, so my activities passed away.
These people are the local security bureau’s capable hands. At this time, Zhu Yunwen proposed to secretly transfer these people to Jinling, which shows the importance of these people.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing." Huo Lin said.
"Speak." Zhu Yunwen sat down and prepared to review the memorial. Huo Lin's face became serious: "According to the information provided by the Second Security Bureau, King Zhu Zhi of Liao and King Zhu Gui will convene a group of businessmen to discuss matters at the Heroes Chamber of Commerce outside Jubao Gate tomorrow. Shanxi merchants Chang Baiye, Huizhou merchants Shen Yiyuan, Zhejiang businessman Wang Daneng and others were among those invited. Nowadays, there are frequent activities of local wealthy gentry, and I think this matter should be paid attention to." Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly: "I remember that King Dai just came back from Shanxi a few days ago, right? King Liao some time ago Is the foot disease better now?" Huo Lin replied: "It was yesterday that the king returned to the capital. It has been reported to the clan and the internal officials. The king of Liao is no longer seriously injured." Zhu Yunwen picked up the tea bowl and looked at it. Jiongjiong: "I came back in a hurry and have just recovered from a serious illness. Let's start a discussion. Haha, let's send someone to listen in secret and see what they say. Pay more attention to Chang Baiye and Shen Yiyuan. The energy of these two people, but No, at this juncture, don't let them stir up trouble." Huo Lin knew the appeal and influence of Chang Baiye and Shen Yiyuan among the businessmen, so he followed the order and left.
