Chapter 37 Own Intelligence Network

Mo Xu's "death" was very peaceful.

Just by ticking off his name in Jin Yiwei's file, he no longer exists in this world.

In the household registration book of Suzhou Prefecture, there is an additional tofu vendor named Mo Xu, who was born and raised in Suzhou Prefecture and is already 45 years old this year.

Not even changing the name.

This is due to the fact that Daming does not have any online household registration query methods, let alone face recognition, as long as you change your ID card, it will be regarded as a change of identity.

From then on, Mo Xu had nothing to do with Buyanzong on the surface.

Peng Ke led him swaggeringly, and walked out of the cell of Qianhu House.

After the servants took him to wash and change into clean clothes, Mo Xu ushered in his new life.

"During the time I was in Suzhou, you were responsible for protecting me with Ah Hu."

"I will leave you in Jiangnan after the matter on the Jiangnan side has been dealt with. You need to be responsible for helping me build a simple intelligence network in Jiangnan."

"Afterwards, other people will join you, you just need to follow my orders."

"As for your family, including those outer rooms, I will help you settle down, don't worry."

Peng Ke lightly exhorted Mo Xu.

Although he is said to be Penke's "guardian", he is not the same as those who sincerely turn to him.

At least for now, he was just forced by Penke's power.

If Penke wanted to control him, he naturally had to leave behind some restraints.

And the family is a good handle.

Mo Xu had been prepared for a long time, knowing that his family would be taken care of, he sighed and obediently complied.

In any case, at least his life is safe now, and his family members are under the control of Penke. He probably has no other choice but to work hard for Penke.

"I understand." Mo Xu nodded obediently: "I will build up the intelligence network on the Jiangnan side as soon as possible."

"However, my lord, with Jin Yiwei in front, it's not easy for me to act."

Mo Xu didn't understand very much. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, Peng Ke still has an intelligence network. Is the Jinyiwei not easy to use?
And with Jin Yiwei watching, he is not easy to act.

"No, you have misunderstood the Jinyiwei." Peng Ke shook his head and explained: "The Jinyiwei is not to monitor the people. The Jinyiwei's duty is mainly to protect His Majesty and monitor the officials."

"Sometimes His Majesty will ask Jin Yiwei to do some troublesome things, such as the Hu Lan case that shocked the court, and this matter of purging the Jianghu."

"Simply put, our Jinyiwei is a knife in His Majesty's hand. We will do what His Majesty tells us to do."

"The reason why Jin Yiwei has so many detailed information about Jianghu sects is not because he has been paying attention to Jianghu sects all the time, but because His Majesty asked us to investigate, we started to investigate."

"As for ordinary people, Jin Yiwei has never been too concerned about it."

"As long as you build an intelligence network in Jiangnan, as long as you don't touch military and political affairs, you won't attract the attention of any Jin Yiwei."

During the Hongwu period, the Jinyiwei had not yet reached the state of power in the late Ming Dynasty. It was just a handy tool in the hands of Emperor Hongwu.

Moreover, Jin Yiwei never did anything related to the common people, and what he did was to search officials.

So in fact, Jin Yiwei is really not very clear about what is happening among the people, and usually doesn't bother to pay attention.

Peng Ke asked Mo Xu to build an intelligence network in the south of the Yangtze River that he could use. As long as he acted carefully and did not attract the attention of the local government, there would be no problem.

Many people think that Jinyiwei is an institution that inspects officials and imprisons ordinary people. This is a complete misunderstanding.

Just like the matter of the Mu Mansion, Jin Yiwei didn't know or understand it.

Most of the information that Ahu compiled at that time was due to the Mu family's contact with some officials, so he only wrote a few strokes.

What Penke wanted was an intelligence agency that could really take root in the thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty and could provide him with information from all over the place at any time.

At the beginning, he was thinking that if he could have an intelligence network all over the country, no matter which side he took refuge in during the Jingnan Campaign, he would be able to provide them with a lot of useful and accurate information.

Now, though, Penck has loftier ideas.

He wants to bring some radical changes to the world and set off a huge ideological revolution!

Now that we are all on the path of science, how can we not be worthy of a vigorous industrial revolution?
But a revolution is not a dinner party, it is a violent action by a class to overthrow a class!
If you want to overthrow a class, you need to set off a revolutionary upsurge, agitate thousands of people, and form a big force!
And at that time, these disciples who were buried deep in the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty raised their arms, whether it was to spread ideas to attack opponents, or to carry out propaganda and united front work, they were very useful!
As a modern person, Penke is very aware of the importance of intelligence networks and propaganda channels!
Mastered the information, mastered the propaganda ability, basically mastered the right to speak!

As the saying goes, a single spark can start a prairie fire, but first of all there must be such a spark.

After coming to this world for so many years, all his energy has been devoted to two things.

The first thing is to set up a private research institute, recruit some depressed researchers from the Mohist school, and also recruit some intelligent talents from the people to conduct scientific research, in order to completely liberate the productivity.

The second thing is to have been building an intelligence network of its own.

Especially after becoming Jinyiwei, Peng Ke used his power to constantly select suitable talents for himself when Jinyiwei was recruiting new recruits.

On the one hand, he was also in the process of clearing the rivers and lakes, recruiting some people who were not willing to serve in the army, and who had good abilities and were suitable for intelligence work, as his followers, to form a private intelligence network for him.

Basically, every time Peng Ke went to suppress Jianghu sects, he would act like this. From Liaodong to the southwest, there were three or five masters, plus a backbone composed of more than a dozen first-class masters, to build an intelligence network for him.

This is also the reason why Peng Ke has always been short of money and addicted to money!
The two things he is doing at hand need money to support them!
Speaking of money, Peng Ke suddenly remembered that Mu Xiyun had asked him to do so.

"By the way, eight years ago, Mu Ziyan, the son of Mu's weaving company, was killed in the outskirts of Suzhou while inspecting the industry."

"Later, Patriarch Mu asked you, Buyanzong, to help investigate the murderer who killed Mu Ziyan."

"This matter, do you know what happened?"

Peng Ke tilted his head and asked Mo Xu.

"I don't know, maybe it's recorded in the sect's classics." Mo Xu shook his head in confusion. He wasn't in Suzhou eight years ago, how could he know.

Yes, Peng Ke waved his hand irritably, motioning for Mo Xu to step back.

It seems that I have to ask Yan Jian to find out about this matter.
