Wu Sanxuan knew that he had no choice but to bow respectfully, "The sinner was willing to obey the king's arrangements."

Gao Huan smiled slightly and comforted him: "This is actually the best choice for you. Your family is still in Jinan. The Jinyiwei knows that you betrayal, and you will definitely be punished by your family. Now you continue to serve the Jinyiwei on the surface, but in fact you are used by me. Not only will the business be done, the Guoan Department can also find an opportunity to rescue your family."

When Wu Sanxuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. No wonder the Liang Kingdom was powerful. The King of Liang thought so carefully for him, so he was not as good as the Beiming, and he couldn't even pay his salary.

No wonder, all the heroes of the world surrendered to King Liang, and they are definitely not just for money, but also for this kind of humanity.

Wu Sanxuan kowtowed with tears in his eyes, "I thanked the king, I will be the king and die!"

Gao Huan smiled and waved his hand. Yang Yan immediately stepped forward and handed him a set of clothes, waist cards, and an envelope.

Gao Huan then said, "You retreat first, don't leave for the time being, I have something to tell you right away!"

Wu Sanxuan brought things to the side hall and sat down to check what Gao Huan gave him, a set of Guoan's escort official uniforms, a copper waist card, and the envelope contained a certificate of deposit of 5,000 silver dollars, used for the expenses of Changchun Building, which had already been used to convey information to Liang Guo.

War is about making money and food. Looking at Gao Huan's work, Wu Sanxuan was sure that he had made the right decision.

At this time, as soon as Wu Sanxuan left, Gao Huan recruited several Grand Secretary and went to the study to discuss.

Gao Huan first asked Jiang Zhi'e to introduce what happened just now, and told everyone about the incident that Beiming sent Hou Xun to Jiangnan to steal Liang's firearm manufacturing technology.

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "In recent times, the Qing Dynasty, Shun Kingdom, the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, the Western Kingdom, and the Minyue have been very frequent. The Guoan Department has cracked many cases of scouts from the enemy country coming to spy on the news. This time, the pseudo-Ming Dynasty sent Hou Xun over to steal the manufacturing technology of the flowering bullets. What do you think of the Qing family?"

Although Gao Huan has confidence in the Guoan Department, he is not afraid of thieves stealing, but is afraid of thieves thinking about it.

These forces are constantly dispatching to work carefully. The National Security Bureau can crack down on two incidents, but there will always be a time when the network is missing.

Li Yan stroked his short beard and said, "King! If it is today, it is not my Daliang that has the upper hand, but the pseudo-Ming that has the upper hand. They have sharp firearms, and our Daliang will definitely send us to spy on this matter. I think we can only strengthen our defenses and cannot stop the enemy from spying and stealing firearm manufacturing technology."

Gao Huan was stunned, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "What Mr. Li said is reasonable. However, a thousand days of defense against thieves is not a solution!"

Zhou Yanrudao: "King, although all forces want to steal the firearm manufacturing technology of Daliang, it is actually very difficult to operate. The workshops that manufacture new firearms controlled by Gongcao are all closed-ended. There are restricted areas around four or five miles, and the people and the fine works cannot get close to them. The fine works that Man Qing, who was caught not long ago, ran around the workshop, reported by the people, and then arrested by the Guoan Security Department. I think it is difficult for them to steal information based on themselves. The key is that they are guarding against thousands of people and thieves! If no one sells the information inside the Daliang, they will definitely not get what they want."

Gao Huan nodded when he heard this. Liang Guo’s firearm casting and new equipment research and development have strict confidentiality measures, and it is difficult for outsiders to obtain any useful information.

There were only two ways to obtain information from the Pseudo-Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. One was to send people to intrude in, and the other was to bribe Gao Huan's people.

If someone is sent to in, it will take too long. When the detailed work enters Liang's country, Gao Huan has already begun to unify the world, and it will be too late.

Therefore, the pseudo-Ming and the Qing dynasties could only take the route of bribery.

Gao Huan squinted his eyes and pondered for a while. After a while, he had already thought about it.

According to the information from the National Security Department, Hou Xun went to see Chen Hongfan, probably because he wanted to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of Chen Hongfan and others being excluded from the power center, and use the relationship between Hongguang court officials to steal the information of Liang State.

Now Liang's domestic situation is basically stable, with a few hostile forces remaining, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Jiyu are both rebels, and Gao Huan's slamming flag has no effect on them and no appeal.

The only banner of the Hongguang court that can influence now is Ding Kuichu, Guangdong and Qu Shishi, Guangxi, and then the war against the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, which is actually not very effective.

As the strength of Liang State grew, Gao Huan's ambition grew stronger and he had the intention of replacing the Ming Dynasty and ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

In this way, Zhu Yousong and a group of Ming Dynasty ministers gathered around him became obstacles to Gao Huan's proclaiming emperor.

These people also realized that with the strength of Liang State, Gao Huan's time to become emperor was getting closer and closer.

Some of these ministers of the Hongguang court took a natural attitude towards this, while some of the ministers loyal to the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to surrender.

Judging from the information collected by the National Security Bureau, many Hongguang Dynasty ministers in Nanjing were dissatisfied with Gao Huan, and some even had letters with Beiming and Zheng Zhilong.

This will be an unstable factor for Gao Huan and Liang Guo.

Thinking of this, Gao Huan had an idea in his mind. He was about to benefit Hou Xun and found an excuse to deal with a group of people, that is, to avoid the outflow of firearm manufacturing technology, and to be the emperor for himself and clear obstacles.

...

When Gao Huan met Wu Sanxuan, Hou Xun was still talking to Chen Hongfan's mansion.

Hou Xun said earnestly: "Now that Liang State is in great power, Gao Huan will usurp the throne and rebellion sooner or later! What should Governor Chen do then? If the court wins, he will definitely have high officials and generous salaries in the future. If the court loses, there will be no loss for Governor Chen."

Now Gao Huan also spends money to support the Hongguang court, mainly because there are many opponents outside the Liang Kingdom, so Gao Huan dared not rashly abandon the Hongguang court.

If the Liang State's power further expands now, Gao Huan will definitely be emperor, and Chen Hongfan and others will not have to receive their salaries.

For the court officials of Hongguang, preventing the Liang army from continuing to grow, or helping the Beiming improve its strength, was actually a way to curb Gao Huan's usurpation of the throne.

Chen Hongfan heard the words, pondered for a while, and whispered: "Although I am the left governor, I have no effort at all and cannot get the drawings for Master Hou. However, I can contact other people for Master Hou to see if they have any channels to obtain the drawings and physical objects!"

Hou Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, as long as Governor Chen can help contact the person, after getting the drawings, I will give you 2,000 taels as a commission!"

Chen Hongfan thought for a while, "I try my best, but I can't guarantee that I am sure!"

Hou Xun hurriedly said, "It's okay, I can wait! After you contact me, send someone to Changchun Tower to notify me!"

The two agreed, and Hou Xun immediately stood up to say goodbye. He felt secretly happy. As long as Chen Hongfan and the Hongguang court officials helped him, he would seize their handle and force them to serve the court at that time.
