People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 473 People in the Central Plains, do you really want us to go back?

This Mr. Chen is named Chen Cheng.

In Kong Ne's introduction, he had some status in his hometown, but his children could not study well.

After the emperor issued the North-South List, he immigrated to Jiaozhou to find a future for his descendants.

And his son has lived up to his expectations. He successfully became a Jinshi in high school and is currently an official in Beijing.

Because of this incident, Chen Cheng became a relatively famous gentleman in Jiaozhou.

The literary reputation is quite prosperous!

Looking at such a person, it was impossible to have anything to do with those mice, but the things he gave Zhang Yi showed his identity.

This is an old thing that Mr. Luo often carries in his hand.

Zhang Yi recognized it at a glance.

"So, I have been under your surveillance?"

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly.

"I don't know about other places. When you come to Jiaozhou, I was notified by the superiors...

I should have gone looking for you, but I came to you myself, so that’s fine! "

Chen Cheng took the token back as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Yi asked:
“The teacher arranged for me not to stay in one place for too long before I left, and to hide for a year or two first!

But why did the higher ups come here so quickly? "

Chen Cheng said:
"Because the higher ups need you to respond to investigate some matters..."

Zhang Yi's face changed slightly when he heard this:
"I won't go. I managed to escape the search of Jin Yiwei. Now I don't want to surrender myself to a trap if I go back..."

Seeing his refusal, Chen Cheng was not surprised. He smiled and said:
"As mentioned above, do you still remember the petition you wrote?"

Zhang Yi's good mood was instantly wiped out, replaced by a face full of ashen.

But after a while, he became crestfallen.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Yi gave in quickly. He was a man who knew the current affairs. He did not struggle at all until his weakness was caught.

Chen Cheng remembered the news from above, saying that this person knew current affairs, and this rating was correct.

He did not rush to assign things to Zhang Yi, but comforted him:
"You don't have to worry, since the princess's case, Jin Yiwei cannot protect himself!
Their authority and power have been greatly weakened, and it is a question whether they can even keep this institution!

So no one cares about your affairs!
The higher ups need us to do something, and they definitely want us to stay alive!

Haven't you always wanted to make progress? What your young master told you may not be unreasonable!
Learning is valuable than anything else!
I don’t think you don’t know this truth. You should understand Mr. Luo’s expectations for you! "

Become Zhang Chang!

This is almost every spy's dream, and Zhang Chang can be regarded as the pinnacle of what Beiyuan spies can achieve in Zhu Yuanzhang's camp.

Zhang Yi's expression was a little restless, but also a little hopeful.

Luuring him with benefits, Chen Cheng saw that Zhang Yi was moved, so he continued:

"You have no choice anyway. Rather than succumbing to others, why not go to the capital and give it a try?
My son is an official in the capital, although he is a man of few words!
But he can still talk!
And the county magistrate of Jiaozhou also has some friendship with me!

If I recommend you, it will be easy!

Whether it’s the imperial examination or the recommendation, do you still want to push for benefits that others can’t ask for in their lifetime?

If one day, my cavalry from Mobei can go to the Central Plains again, you will be a great hero! ~
If you can't come down, no one will take the initiative to sacrifice you! "

"Understood!"

Zhang Yi finally calmed down and asked calmly:

"What does the higher ups need from me?"

"You go back to the capital and use your connections!

Get closer to the people in the Xu Mansion and inquire about the situation on the Xu Da front line through the Xu family!

Mrs. Xu’s mouth is loose, if you do a good job, you should be able to hear a lot of useful news!

and also……"

Chen Cheng told Zhang Yi the tasks assigned from above, and Zhang Yi was thoughtful.

To put it bluntly, Wang Baobao is still worried about Xu Da.

This man's military use is not like that of the Mongols. Both he and Xu Da are famous generals who sit in charge of the central army and strategize.

Although Mobei won the battle at Lingbei, he had not yet mustered up the courage to attack the Central Plains.

Xu Da is the person Wang Baobao is most afraid of.

In this war of betting on the fate of the country, Wang Baobao is not foolproof and will not take the initiative.

"What's wrong with Xu Da?"

Zhang Yi asked deliberately.

"You do not know?"

"Nonsense, do you really think I'm running around for business? I'm afraid, so I don't dare to stay in one place for a long time!
Who is in the mood to inquire about the news ahead?

You'd better just say it! "

Chen Cheng saw Zhang Yi's confused look and said:

"Okay, let me tell you, a while ago, General Xu and the Emperor..."

Chen Cheng meticulously told Zhang Yi that the dispute between Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang caused the monarch and his ministers to alienate, and Wang Baobao took the opportunity to send someone to persuade Xu Da to surrender.

Zhang Yi naturally knew these contents.

Chang Yuchun had already told him in Zhejiang, but he didn't know what happened next.

On the sea, even Zhou Tong and others had no news channel.

"After the King of Qi persuaded Xu Da to surrender, the envoy was driven out by Xu Da, and His Majesty heard the news in the capital and sent people to the front line to commend General Xu!

The relationship between the monarch and his minister is really confusing! "

Zhang Yi was thoughtful, and Zhu Yuanzhang followed his idea and rewarded Xu Da.

This is the reaction an emperor should have.

Just by looking at Chen Cheng's troubled face, Zhang Yi understood that people at his level couldn't understand the thoughts of people like the emperor and Wang Baobao.

When masters compete with each other, ordinary people don't even have the chance to see clearly.

He didn't act too sharp, but listened to Chen Cheng continue.

"Now, in the court, news about the disagreement between Xu Da and the emperor is spreading like wildfire!

A few days ago, Hu Weiyong entered the palace to persuade the emperor, but was kicked out by the emperor!

This matter is quite delicate. Even in the capital, everyone is in danger! "

The conflict between Hu Weiyong and Xu Da has not yet broken out.

At this time, he took over Li Shanchang's political assets, and Xu Da was naturally an ally of the Huaixi lineage.

Zhang Yi was not surprised that Hu Weiyong spoke to Xu Da. What surprised him was that Zhu Yuanzhang had already made the situation so perfect.

He did not believe that Hu Weiyong knew the truth of the matter. He could only say that Zhu Yuanzhang had deceived many people for this operation.

"Since you can find out all this information, why do you need me?

No matter how good I am, I am just a servant!
And your young master must be able to find out as much information as me! "

"It's different. In a few months, my child will go to Guangdong to take a job!
And even if he is in Yingtian, he may not know more than you..."

Chen Cheng was a little discouraged when he mentioned this.

Zhang Yi's so-called Rat Way is much more useful than a low-level official with little backing.

Moreover, intelligence analysis also depends on individual talent.

Although his son could give some information, the information was organized in a messy manner.

Not satisfying!

After all the calculations, Zhang Yi was already considered the best candidate.

Under Chen Cheng's persuasion, Zhang Yi nodded silently and agreed with him.

"Then what help can you give me?"

Since he agreed to go to Yingtian Mansion, Zhang Yi naturally wanted to ask these people for resources.

A trace of disdain flashed in Chen Cheng's eyes, but he suppressed his temper and said:
"We have no people near Yingtian Mansion for a long time. Even if we re-establish channels, it will take several years!
I have a quota in my hand, and I can recommend you to a place, and that is the Imperial College..."

Ahem!Zhang Yi spit out a mouthful of tea and widened his eyes: "You want me to go to the Imperial College?"

"That's right, every year, local governments are obliged to recommend talents to the imperial court!
I can arrange for you to be promoted with talents from Jiaozhou..."

Zhang Yi looked at Chen Cheng as if he was mentally retarded. He finally understood what level these rats in Ming Dynasty were like.

No wonder Mr. Luo would sacrifice the entire Yingtian intelligence system in desperation to save Guanyin Nu.

He deeply understands the incompetence of these people.

Zhang Yi could only comfort himself that he was not a Mongolian spy. If he really was, how desperate would he be?
After the empire fell, many things disappeared with it.

People like Chen Cheng are, to put it bluntly, out of character.

"Have you ever thought about how I would have contact with those servants if I went to the Imperial College?"

Chen Cheng:  …

"Forget it, I'll arrange my own way to Beijing!
When I turn around, I beg the young master to show me the way! "

Chen Cheng looked a little worried. He originally wanted to suppress Zhang Yi, but the resources at his disposal were really poor.

Who in the family understands?

How does it feel to be despised by offline people?

Chen Cheng probably felt that he couldn't save face, so he could only nod silently.

“So how do I get the message out?”

"By the time……"

"Don't wait until then, I need a stable channel!"

Zhang Yi is very insistent:

"Anyway, I am considered a member of the organization. Do I have the right to know how our news gets out?
I can't be betrayed, I'm confused!
Mr. Chen, I hope you will pass the news to the higher-ups. I need trust!
Requires permissions and support too! "

"I see!"

Chen Cheng found that his conversation with Zhang Yi gradually became Zhang Yi taking the initiative.

He didn't look good, but he could only comply with Zhang Yi's request.

"Well, I dug out another line..."

After Zhang Yi watched the other party leave, he also left the hotel and went to pack his luggage.

"Chen Cheng actually belongs to the other party too?"

When Zhang Yi left Jiaozhou, he left with Kong Ne.

Kong Ne was surprised by the news Zhang Yi told him.

"There are many people here who yearn for peaceful days, but there are also many people who miss the past!

Especially those who have some family property, unless they are exploited by the court, on the whole, these gentlemen live a more comfortable life than the Hongwu Dynasty!

Our Emperor Hongwu has touched the interests of many people..."

Zhang Yi didn't care about Zhu Yuanzhang's face at all and complained in front of Kong Ne.

Lao Zhu himself was not popular with the literati, and this was a secret that everyone knew.

As for the Kong family, no one knows what they are thinking.

He remained silent, acquiescing to Zhang Yi's statement.

"But these people are also pitiful. They are not a systematic intelligence organization like the people in Yingtian Mansion!
People like Chen Cheng are far behind!
They don't make it big, but there are a lot of them...

These people are much easier to deal with than Mr. Luo!

For example, this time, I made a casual threat and they told me their contact information!
By mastering this channel, at least I don’t have to worry about being monitored at any time! "

Kong Na listened to Zhang Yi's talk and felt envious in his heart.

During these days, he studied and traveled thousands of miles, only to realize that the road ahead was difficult and dangerous.

Zhang Yi seems to be undisciplined, but he has his own goals and has the courage to carry them out.

And I still need to work harder.

The two separated halfway, and Zhang Yi went to Yingtian Mansion alone with a letter left by Kong Ne.

This letter was from the teacher introduced to him by Kong Ne.

This teacher is not famous, but he is also a master!
Zhang Yi will restart his journey in Yingtian with another identity.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that he went all the way,
Following Chen Cheng's instructions, he visited many people.

These people are his escape route, or in other words, the resources Zhang Yi wants to find.

He returned all the way to Yingtian Mansion and met the teacher according to Kong Ne's request.

Zhang Yi felt at ease and settled down in Yingtian Mansion.

As Zhang Sanfeng, he went to visit the Xu family!

As diligent as ever!

Not long after, Mobei received intelligence from Zhang Yi, and useful information about Xu Mansion was compiled.

"Ms. Xie is worried about becoming ill and raising a fetus!

A slave once comforted Mrs. Xu, but she complained..."

These news were transmitted back to Mobei through Beiyuan's channels.

Ten days have often passed before returning to Wang Baobao's hands.

However, Zhang Yi's information was verified to be extremely accurate.

"This person said that Xu Da's family wrote to the Xie family, saying that he would probably go back soon!
This news was sent out eleven days ago. According to our news, the imperial court has indeed sent an imperial doctor to the front line to visit Xu Da..."

"So, this guy's news is pretty accurate..."

Wang Baobao was thoughtful.

If Xu Da was not in the north, he would indeed have the motivation to have a good encounter with Ming Dynasty.

……

Three days later.

Beiping Prefecture.

The emperor heard that General Xu Da was seriously ill and tried to bring a doctor to visit him.

After praising Xu Da, the imperial physician suggested that General Xu go back to recuperate.

The general agreed and returned with the envoy.

Wang Baobao received this news immediately. He was so excited that he almost sent his troops south?

I just heard that Li Wenzhong took over Xu Da's team and guarded Peiping.

After he stopped his impulse, he was overjoyed.

Judging from this incident, the information he received earlier was completely true. ,
The king and his ministers are at odds!

The morale of the army is slack!

If we don’t attack the Ming Dynasty now, when will we wait?
"Sister, get me some pen and paper. I'm going to write a letter to the emperor. I need more support!"

Guanyinnu looked at the letter handed over by Wang Baobao with a dazed expression.

"Brother, is this true?"

"I also want to ask you, what is your impression of Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"This man is a hero with low self-esteem, but he is deeply scheming and ruthless!"

Guanyinnu thought of her brief interaction with Zhu Yuanzhang and gave what she thought was the answer.

That emperor brought oppression to Guanyin Nu far beyond imagination.

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao became even more certain of his conjecture:

"This person is indeed a hero, and such a person will not trust others easily!
Xu Da is like this, and so are others!

That's right, sister, your brother and I will definitely bring the Mongolian army back to Dadu this time, and that will be the glory of my Mongolian people..."

Guanyin Nu looked at her brother's excitement, but lowered her head.

She thought of the places Zhang Yi took her through.

"But do the people of the Central Plains really welcome us?"
