Fourteen-year-old Wang arrived in North Korea.
Wang Zhi was not frightened when he was in a new environment. Instead, he quickly adapted to his living environment.
The yamen of North Korea's imperial guards is located in the alley on the left side of Prince Ping's Mansion, close to the Deputy General's Mansion and the Pyongyang yamen.
It can be said that if Prince Ping eats meat, the imperial guards can smell the aroma of meat...
After Wang Zhi was sent to North Korea, he directly entered the Yamen in the alley on the left.
The person who sent him away left directly after Wang Zhi settled down.
This place is very unfamiliar to Wang Zhi.
At the beginning, Wang Zhi was indeed a little wary of the unfamiliar environment deep down in his heart, but it only took him half a day to clearly understand his positioning label.
Among the imperial guards, although there are no clear distinctions between ranks, the rules in the shadows are implementing this relatively novel operating law.
Because of the Jinyiwei personnel who committed crimes in the Ming Dynasty, ordinary Han Chinese, Jurchens, Mongolians, and Koreans in Liaoping Prefecture formed the Korean Pro-Army Command and Guard, referred to as the Chaowei.
Among them, the largest number are the local Koreans, with more than 1,500 people, accounting for 70% of the imperial guards. The number of ordinary Han people is the smallest, almost all of them are hundreds of households. The Jurchens and Mongols are the backbone, occupying the largest number. Most Koreans only do dirty work.
Not only are there differences in positions, but there is also a huge difference in remuneration. The Jinyiwei personnel who were relegated from the country have been blacklisted and cannot be officially hired and registered, so they all exist in a similar way as external hires. Among the imperial guards, those who had been reprimanded were almost all the former Jinyiwei Qianhu, Baihu, etc., who were more proficient in business. Although they were temporary workers, their treatment was also the best, and they could receive three taels of silver every month. Six strings of Ming Dynasty treasure notes, one load each of corn and flour.
Those who were officially registered were the middle batch of Han Chinese, Jurchens, and Mongols. These people were selected into the first batch of imperial guards. They all had their own strengths and their treatment was relatively average.
Two taels of silver, three Ming Dynasty treasure notes, one load each of corn and flour.
As for the treatment of the North Koreans, they only have the same treasure money, a load of corn, and a load of flour.
This operation is very abnormal.
But it is also the most suitable method at this stage, and it is Menda who is thinking of this move.
The Koreans who actually work below but don't have much information are already regarded as top figures among their own race.
Even if their salary is not high, they are reluctant to leave, which can create a sense of gap between the middle and upper levels.
Although the full name of the imperial guards is the imperial guards of Korea, they are all subsidized by Korean local finances, and the imperial court has not given out a single tael of silver.
It took Wang Zhi just half a day to understand all these things clearly.
He came with an order. Regardless of whether he was a close associate of the emperor or not, he had to pretend to be a close associate of the emperor in this place.
Therefore, Wang Zhi put away his fear and began to become magnanimous. When speaking, his eyes were always above his head, as if one more breath of Pyongyang's air would taint himself.
Be particular about eating, being particular about drinking water, and being particular about sleeping.
Taking advantage of this situation, Wang Zhi was played with proficiency.
Of course, Wang Zhi's strategy is also correct.
Because of Wang Zhi's speaking attitude and acting style, several thousand households in the imperial guard couldn't understand it, and they also put away their initial contempt.
After he stayed in North Korea for six days, he was notified to see Liu Tong, the commander of the North Korean guards.
Then, Wang Zhi went to the Tiger Hall under the guidance of the imperial guards.
The secret service agencies in the north are also full of northern characteristics.
The service lobby is called the Tiger Hall.
The reason why it got its name is that there is a complete tiger skin hanging in the lobby.
Liu Tong was originally in Guzhou City. After getting the information from Pyongyang, he rushed back to Pyongyang. On the way back, he met Wang Yue, the governor who was going to Pyongyang, and was delayed for a while.
At first, the emperor's decree was to add more internal officials to the imperial guards.
Liu Tong's first idea was that the emperor would set up an upper-level organizational structure to supervise North Korea's spy agency, similar to the relationship between the Capital East Factory and Jin Yiwei.
But when Liu Tong walked into the Tiger Hall and saw Wang Zhi, he was a little stunned. Can such a small eunuch control the situation?
He turned his head and asked in a low voice: "This young father-in-law was sent here by your Majesty."
Qianhu, who was following behind, quickly nodded in agreement.
Wang Zhi, who had been sitting comfortably in the main seat, slowly stood up after seeing the unfamiliar face of Liu Tong.
"This is Commander Liu, right?" Wang Zhi slightly arched his hands as he spoke, but it looked very perfunctory, and he never walked down the steps from beginning to end. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
"Exactly. I don't know what my father-in-law is, or whose disciple he worships in the palace."
The group of eunuchs either recognized their grandfather or their godfather. They used this relationship to maintain internal relationships. Of course Liu Tong knew this, so he asked.
Wang Zhi smiled knowingly: "Wang Zhi, I am a disciple of Zhao Huanong, Eunuch Zhao. I am honored to call Eunuch Zhao my godfather."
After Liu Tong listened, he nodded. No wonder he was so arrogant.
Zhao Huanong is now the second-largest person in the palace, in charge of the East Factory, restraining the Jin Yiwei, and is the chief executive of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. To put it bluntly, he is Zhang Bao's successor.
The people under his command were arrogant and arrogant, but Liu Tong thought it was reasonable.
And the reason why Wang Zhi said it was Zhao Huanong.
Because his real godfather's reputation is not that big, and Zhao Huanong's reputation is just enough, and Wang Zhi also knows that Zhao Huanong's hands can't reach North Korea at all. Even if he blows the cowhide in North Korea, no one will think it's wrong. .
Of course, the reason why Zhang Bao's name was not mentioned was because Wang Zhi was still a little afraid of that old guy, and because Zhang Bao could reach out so far, someone might say something to him about whatever he said or did.
Although Wang Zhi only met Zhao Huanong once outside the Qianqing Palace.
But it can also be felt that Zhang Bao is already deeply dissatisfied with Zhao Huanong. Zhang Bao will definitely not tell Zhao Huanong about his own affairs.
"Commander Liu, stop standing and talk, find a place to sit down." After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he sat down again.
It was as if Wang Zhi regarded himself as the master here, and there was no sense of distance at all.
Liu Tong looked at Wang Zhi's words and deeds and did not feel any dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, Wang Zhi was just an arrogant little eunuch with high ambitions but low ambitions. If he didn't interfere in the affairs of the imperial guards, Liu Tong would just let it go.
This is Liu Tong's second political life. Because it is a second chance, Liu Tong seems to cherish it very much and is much more rigorous in doing things.
During the Ming Dynasty, he was sentenced to exile, and then when he arrived in Korea, he caught up with His Majesty's plan to establish the emperor's personal army in Korea, so he was used exceptionally and was demoted one level to be the commander of the Korean Guards.
The superior organization seems to be the Imperial Guard, but in fact it is the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
The establishment of two thousand people was clearly played by Liu Tong...
Their job is to engage in intelligence and infiltration.
From the rumors among the people to the affairs of the officialdom, they must know everything clearly, and then record and file it. If they find useful information, they will immediately report it to the court or local officials.
But in front of a shrewd person like Liu Tong, Wang Zhi lied without any flaws.
Liu Tong smiled and sat in the first seat on the left, and then asked: "Did you meet His Majesty before coming to North Korea?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Tong stared at Wang Zhi closely, trying to detect something on his face.
However, he was disappointed.
Wang Zhi was calm and calm, with no fluctuation on his face. He said: "Looking at what Commander Liu said, of course I met His Majesty. Your Majesty also said that you should learn something from Commander Liu. After you return, You can also stand alone.”
"So, Commander Liu, please teach me well. I will return to the capital as soon as possible. When I return to the palace, I can help you. Do you think..."
Liu Tong laughed loudly after hearing this.
"Help me, I am an official of the imperial court and the commander of the imperial guards. I really don't know what I need and need help from others. Please help me, father-in-law. What do you want to help me with?"
Wang Zhi listened to Liu Tong's rhetorical question and was not nervous at all. Instead, he looked at Liu Tong and replied calmly: "You have something that needs help from people in the palace. Don't you know?"
Liu Tong's expression changed. Is this a new test from the imperial court? Can sending a little eunuch here also make him relax his vigilance and let him tell his true thoughts after his family moved from the capital to North Korea?
