Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 572
Lao Fu obviously suspected that Jia Liu, acting as the admiral of the Nine Gates, had illegally monitored him.

Not to mention that Jia Liu had never committed such a crime that seriously violated official rules, even if he did, he would never admit it.

So, I got angry on the spot.

"What does Big Brother think of me? Is there any trust between you and me? Could it be that in Big Brother's eyes, I, Jia Jia Shikai, are just a little girl raised by a servant girl!"

Jia Liu was panting, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at Fu without the slightest timidity.

"Really not?"

Old Fu obviously wouldn't believe it easily, because what happened to Qinglin gave him bad associations.

"You can question your brother's character, but you must never question your brother's morality!"

Jia Liu firmly denied it, the conscience of heaven and earth, he is a person who does great things, how could he use spy means to spy on the top leaders of the current government.

After pondering for a moment, Lao Fu turned and left.

He has no evidence.

If you really want to doubt it, you can only go home and investigate secretly.

Not long after the old rich left, Fan Wei came over in a hurry, saying that he had just arrived in Beijing in an emergency at eight hundred miles from Hubei. killed.The Qing army in Hunan suffered great losses in this campaign, and if it is not done well, the land of Sanxiang will soon be defeated by the Xinghan army.

While speaking, he handed over the transcript of the urgent report from Hunan General Soldier Yamantai.

The transcript is from a Mongolian Zhangjing in the Military Aircraft Department. Fanwei paid this person a monthly salary of 200 taels, which is about more than 3 yuan, or an annual salary of nearly [-] million.

In addition to this Mongolian Zhangjing, there are two Han and Manzhangjings. The annual expenditure of these five secretaries of the Military Aircraft Department alone is ten thousand taels.

Using money to bribe the Secretary of the General Administration, the Military Aircraft Office, including the Manchu and Han pen stickers of various ministries, and even the eunuchs in the palace, in order to obtain memorials and secret manuscripts, including what the emperor said. channel.

Knowing the attitude of the leader, the subordinates are good at doing things. Otherwise, if one accidentally does something that makes the leader dissatisfied, it is not that the official title is not guaranteed, and if it is not done well, it will lose its head.

No matter how dissatisfied the people below, as long as the top is satisfied, then this official will not only be able to maintain stability, but also be able to rise steadily.

There are many guild halls in various provinces in the outer city. In name, they are used by the provinces to arrange the examination venues for their own candidates to go to Beijing, or to accommodate officials who come to Beijing on business trips. In fact, they are the eyes and ears of the provinces in Beijing. Some are also responsible for solving the "imperial complaint" problem .

An industry derived from this is Baodao Diao, where Bannermen broke down and settled down.

Not to mention the officials below, even the top leader of the government, the Minister of Military Affairs, has to spend money to buy news.

Yu Minzhong, the former chief minister of military affairs, was almost beheaded by Qianlong because he bribed the eunuchs to copy secret documents and commit crimes.

It's just the market price that is generally used to buy the secretary of the Military Aircraft Department, and the annual package is only about 300 taels.

Jia Liu's side charged them several times higher prices.

The reason is that Jia Liu hoped that he could see the transcripts of the official documents of various provinces entering Beijing as soon as possible, including the confidential documents given to Qianlong by officials in each province who had the right to perform secret performances.

The reason why he was pinched to death by the old rich at the beginning was because the old rich knew all the secrets he gave to Qianlong.

The losses that have been suffered in the past can never be repeated.

And, time is money.

Some things, even if you know the news half an hour earlier than others, are worth the high price.

Since it was an urgent copy, the handwriting was rather sloppy, and there were still many ink dots.

After reading it, Jia Liu couldn't help saying with emotion: "This Yamantai is an honest man, and his kindness is not inferior to me."

What a Kwayamantai.

If Jia Liu was driven all over the mountains by a dozen thieves, he would definitely not tell the truth. If he didn't say that a dozen thieves were tens of thousands, he would feel sorry for his conscience.

Fan Wei believes that Changsha must be the next target of the Xinghan Army.

This place is not only the capital of Hunan Province, but also an important town to control Sanxiang. After capturing Changsha, it can not only threaten Jiangxi in the east, but also extend its power to Hengzhou and Baoqing in the south. Sweeping across the entire province of Hunan, and then opening up the traffic between Guangdong and Guangxi, that is, after acquiring Hunan, the Xinghan army can not only go east along the river, but also have the possibility of attacking Guangdong and Guangxi.

In this way, Feng Sheng's strategy of besieging the Xinghan army in Hubei will go bankrupt.

The land of Hunan was also extremely important in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo achieved a great victory in Hengbao here, beheading Nikan, Prince of Manchuria, and frightened the little emperor Shunzhi, who was far away in the capital, to move his capital to Shengjing.

Later, the Taiping Army also launched two major battles in Changsha. Although both ended in failure, they severely hit the Hunan Qing Army and provided valuable experience for the subsequent military operations.

Now let's see if the Xinghan army can take Changsha.

Fan Wei asked whether to provide remote online guidance for the Battle of Changsha, Jia Liu thought about it and felt that it was not necessary.Although his nephew Gu An is young, he is actually more powerful than his Manchurian uncle in terms of bravery and combat skills. What he lacks is only a macro-strategic level.

This time Gu An led the war in Hunan, which is also a good opportunity to exercise, there is no need to do micro-management by himself.

And with his uncle's military command ability, he couldn't easily make a move.

Once shot, it was really a dragon slaying.

Gu An went well, and the southern provinces became fully independent, and it was his uncle Jia Jia's turn to have a big head.

"Follow me to the Secret Service."

Jia Liu asked his own soldiers to prepare horses, and took Fan Wei to an ordinary banner man's house located in the area of ​​the Han Army Xianglan Banner.

This house looks very inconspicuous, with only about a dozen rooms, and it is 800 meters away from the Yamen of the Chongwenmen Infantry Commander.

More than a month ago, this yard was bought by the infantry commander's yamen, and it was claimed that it was used as accommodation for officers, but it was actually the location of the Jingshi Branch of the Secret Service of the Gongjinhui.

After knocking on the door, Jia Liu was welcomed in.

Liu Heyi was originally in charge of the Secret Service, but he is now serving in the Guard Barracks, so he handed over the duties of the Secret Service to Luo Yuan, the former commander of the Han Army in the Qianfeng Battalion.

This Luo Yuanzu was very prominent, and his great-grandfather was Luo Yangxing, the governor of Jinyiwei in the former Ming Dynasty.

The Luo family is also a family of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. The earliest ancestor of the family was Luo An, who served as the commander of the Jinyiwei. Luo An's grandson, Luo Sigong, was in charge of Jinyiwei in Wanli and Tianqi Dynasty.

That is to say, during the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, the Luo family was always in charge of the secret service agencies in the Ming Dynasty.

The problem is that the father and son of the Luo family tend to the Donglin Party. During the Tianqi period, Luo Sigong was ostracized by Wei Zhongxian's party members Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun.

When it came to Luo Yangxing's place, Jin Yiwei basically became a decoration.

Therefore, it can also be explained that the famous Jinyiwei ended up in the hands of the Luo family.

According to the organizational regulations of the Gongjin Association, the Jingshi Secret Service is not under the leadership of the Jingshi Branch, but is directly responsible to the General Secret Service.

Due to the special situation in the capital, the Secret Service is directly responsible to President Jia Jia, and some duties overlap with Jia Ban’s Operations Department. Therefore, Jia Liu decided to merge the Secret Service into the Operations Department after leaving Beijing. , one external.

After meeting Luo Yuan and some Eight Banners spies, Jia Liu walked to a room led by Luo Yuan.

After opening the door, I saw Athha and Queenie seriously writing the membership application form.

Quite serious, just like the imperial examination.

Jia Liu's visit this time was mainly to hold an initiation ceremony for Lao Ah and Lao Kui.

On the front wall of the house, the eight characters "like-minded, alliance and progress" were inscribed by Jia Liu himself.

On the square table under the inscription, Guan Erye is enshrined.

Different from Guan Gong statues in other places, the forehead of this Guan Gong statue is tied with a white cloth, on which are the four characters "Loyalty and Incomparable".

Jia Liu hopes that every member of Gongjin can take the lead with loyalty.

People who don't talk about loyalty will be punished together.
