Chapter 317 The sword points to Jiangnan
"Jiangnan Meeting!"
Chen Kefu raised his lips and said the name gently. He let out a long sigh. Chen Kefu felt that he didn't know how to deal with these thirty-six jade pendants. It had been in his hands for many days, but he still didn't think about how to use it.
In twenty-six years, although the sea could not be turned into mulberry fields, it was time to change and things changed. Just from the simple information his father knew, Chen Kefu had already judged that the Jiangnan would be too powerful. There are no loyal ministers in this world, such as Mao Xi and the old people in the East Palace in Chenjiazhuang. He also believed that the thirty-six elders of the Jiangnan Association were also loyal.
However, after the failure of the Jiangnan rebellion, so many years have passed, and the thirty-six elders are already dead, and now they are all their descendants. How many of them are loyal to the Southern Chen and the Southern Chen royal family?
Chen Kefu has always believed that if there is no love as a support, then there is only relying on interests as a link. He and Jiangnan will no longer have any love as a link, so they will only have interests. There will be several large chambers of commerce in Jiangnan, and even manipulate all waterway transport. They have money and food. Even the counterfeit bandits in various places, and some peasant soldiers in Jiangnan now have shadows of their manipulation behind their backs, and some of them are people.
Through this information, Chen Kefu even guessed that the Jiangnan Association's goal was very clear and clear. This was a tool for the Jiangnan Association that had now become a tool for the Jiangnan nobles. They manipulated the Jiangnan Association with the purpose of rebuilding a Nanchen, but the newly built Nanchen was just a dynasty that dominated Jiangnan. He even dared to be sure that all these people had such a big spoiled force and went to Chen Shen, but they wanted to borrow the influence of the Nanchen royal family in Jiangnan.
Even if the Nanchen was restored with the help of these people in the end, the Nanchen must be a puppet of the Jiangnan Society. Yang Jian's Sui Dynasty unified the world, and the power of the entire Sui Dynasty from him to Yang Guang has always been shared by the Yang family and the Guanlong nobles. These aristocratic families in Jiangnan were only at the dominant weakness. How could these Jiangnan families who lived in the center of the southern political stage for generations be willing to accept it?
Chen Kefu carefully thought about the Jiangnan Association and his forces, one of them, were based in Jiangnan and were determined to seize Jiangnan. He started his career in Liaodong and aimed directly to the world. More importantly, his subordinates were the heroes of Shandong, followed by various parts of the Central Plains. He represented a large area of forces in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei, while the Jiangnan Association represented the forces in Jiangnan.
If you want to cooperate with the Jiangnan Association, you feel like you are trying to make a fuss with a tiger. However, if you do this kind of grain from the fire, the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages. If it is his father Chen Shen and the Jiangnan Association, he will inevitably become a puppet operated by the Jiangnan Association. However, Chen Kefu is not a tool at the mercy of others. His own interests are guaranteed by the powerful Liaodong Legion.
Strength is his greatest confidence.
After patting a few lightly, Chen Lei entered from outside, "What are the commands of the Grand Marshal?"
"Notify the person in charge of the Luoyang branch of the Special Services Department to meet at the Xihai Money House in Guiyifang in the afternoon!" Chen Kefu put away his jade pendant and said calmly.
With Chen Kefu's personal support, the Special Service Department developed rapidly and had thousands of elite backbone spys. The informal spys bought countless spies under it. With sufficient manpower and material support, the Special Service Department was like Chen Kefu's eyes and ears, collecting various intelligences at all times, and then sending them back to various branches, and screening and analyzing them by professional intelligence analysts there, and finally sent them to the Liaodong Special Service Department headquarters, which was then sorted out and conveyed to Chen Kefu.
The Special Service Department has established a total of seven major branches in the Central Plains region, including Zhuojun branch, Jinan branch, Luoyang branch, Chang'an branch, Jiangdu branch, Xiangyang branch, Chengdu branch, and C, and fully collects information from the Central Plains. The Special Service Department Luoyang branch is the top priority, and has dispatched and installed countless spies. Except for Yang Guang's bedroom, there has been no bribery and inserting into the eyeliner, even the emperor's palace has also developed digital eyeliner.
Since Chen Kefu established the Sihai Money House in Liaodong, this kind of money house that can not only store deposits, exchange money, and even exchange money in other places has quickly developed from Liaodong to Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and finally Luoyang and Chang'an to major cities throughout the Central Plains.
Chen Kefu secretly controlled money houses, restaurants, brothels, bookstores, theaters, and polo courts. The Sihai Money House, Xinhua Bookstore, Zuihonglou Brothel, Luyu Tea House, Penglai Theater, Hero Polo Court, one after another. The money houses, restaurants, brothels, tea shops, bookstores, theaters, and polo courts, opened chain semicolons in various parts of the Central Plains. These new-style shops operated by the management are more to cover the actions of the Secret Service Department, collect intelligence and earn wealth for the Liaodong army. And they are constantly promoting Chen Kefu to Liaodong through various legendary stories, serial calligraphy and paintings, and storytelling dramas written by Liaodong.
As a modern person, Chen Kefu understood the importance of Binzhi. As long as he could establish a good image in the hearts of the people, it would be very important for him in the future. He even wondered. If he had to use some astronomy and chemical knowledge to do some miracles like the destiny of heaven when he was in trouble in the future.
He didn't believe it, but these ordinary people would believe it.
The person in charge of the Luoyang Special Service Division branch is a strong man in his fifties, with a pair of tax and profit eyes. He was originally the third in charge of the Special Service Division headquarters. Chen Kefu transferred him to Luoyang, which was also his trust in him.
"Master!"
Chen Kefu personally poured him a cup of tea, "You have been in Luoyang for more than half a year. What's the situation with the Luoyang branch?"
"Reply to Da Zheng, the Luoyang branch is strong and has strong combat power. Now the entire Luoyang branch has grown from the backbone spy to the outermost spy. We have now developed nearly 10,000 people. From the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to the slaves of the ministers, to the ordinary coolies on the Luoshui Wharf in the Dongdu, we have all the spys. Now the entire Dongdu is full of our spys." Zhao Yue, deputy director of the Special Service Department and head of the Luoyang branch, said proudly. It has been more than a year since he entered the Special Service Department. He is deeply proud of his current achievements.
Chen Kefu smiled, took out a small brocade box from his arms and handed it to him, "It's done well, this is a reward for you, please open it!" When Zhao Yue looked at the box, he had already guessed something. His face was moving and nervous, and his hands were a little shaking, and he picked up the small brocade box and opened it gently. As soon as the box was opened, a silver light flashed inside. It was a pair of silver shoulder stamps, each inlaid with crystal clear gold, steel, diamond stars.
"This, this, the Grandmaster!" Zhao Yue raised his head and looked at Chen Kefu in an emotional state, saying incompletely.
"That's right, in order to commend your merits, you are now promoted to the rank of brigade general! You know what we have done. When we are successful, it will be the day when you are famous. Now I will promote you to brigade general and reward you with one thousand gold coins and one thousand gold coins from the brothers of the Luoyang branch. I hope you can continue to work hard." The Special Service Department is extremely important to Chen Kefu, so he will not be stingy with the brothers of the Special Service Department.
Zhao Yue stood up and knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "I dare not die if I fail to serve you!"
Chen Kefu stood up and helped him up, and smiled and said, "What's wrong with the man in black who asked you to investigate before? Do you have any clues?"
"Miyi has mobilized all his strength. After so many days of investigation, he is almost intimate. Although there is not enough evidence, the investigation results show that the first man in black was planned by Pei Yun, arranged by Pei Renji, and Pei Xingyan led people to act. Yuwen Shu and the emperor knew before the incident happened, but they did not stop it, and they deliberately indulged it and opened the door of convenience. Although the second group of killers were also men in black, it was not what Pei Yun and the others did. According to our investigation, the second group of men in black also came from the Imperial Guards, and the Xiaoguo Army beside the emperor, leading by Sima Dekan, the general of Xiaoguolang. All the evidence shows that the second assassination was ordered by the emperor."
Chen Kefu tapped the table gently with his fingers and sneered at the corner of his mouth. He had only guessed that the assassination was Yang Guang and Jing Zhi Envoy, but he did not expect that the first operation was actually done by Pei Yun, and it was actually done by Pei Renji and his son. However, it doesn't matter whether he knows the truth or not, whether Pei Lang or Yang Guang, they are his enemies.
"The matter between the man in black is over here. Now I will give you an important task. This task is not only for the Luoyang branch, but will be the task of the entire Special Service Department, and its relationship is important. The seventh part of the Central Plains of the Special Service Department is dispatched to me to investigate an organization called the Jiangnan Association in the shortest time. This organization was established when the Nanchen demise, and it has been twenty-six years since then. Jiangnan will have thirty-six elders jointly in charge. They are rooted in Jiangnan. The Jiangnan Association has thirty-six peripheral organizations under its jurisdiction, and each veteran has one, from chambers of commerce, gangs, to parody thieves, from Jiangnan family clans to landlords and powerful people even to peasant rebels, there are them everywhere."
"The task I give you now is that I ask you to find out for me in the shortest time. Now the identity of the 36 elders of the Jiangnan Association, including their family. Even the information of the 36 organizations around them, I also need to know what their core members are, what core industries are, and everything is. I ask to find out for me in the shortest time. Remember, this is the most important task of the Central Plains Secret Service Department in the nearest time, the most advanced task level red sè!"
