Chapter 623 Trapped in the city
After the two capitals fell one after another, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty suffered huge losses, and many spies left the organization.
Now the Jinyiwei of the Longwu court is the arsenal set up by Zhu Youjian in Fujian and developed in Huguang. After the recapture of Nanjing, spies who had left the Jinyiwei came to visit him one after another.
Although the current Jinyiwei is the Jinyiwei, it is actually a spy organization that has started a new job and established again.
Calculate the years and qualifications, the Jinyiwei of the Longwu Dynasty was not as good as the Tiandihui and Military Information Department of Donghai Town.
Hu Weizong is the intelligence leader of Donghai Town. He has been engaged in collecting intelligence and instigating enemy generals for ten years and has a higher qualification than Gao Huan.
As soon as he heard that Hu Weizong was in Hangzhou, Gao Huan immediately realized that a great achievement was placed in front of him.
Hu Weizong is the third generation of the Heaven and Earth Association, and is the current leader of the Heaven and Earth Association after Wu Yi and Zhao Ming.
The main work of the Tiandihui has always been to spy on the information of the Qing Dynasty. Now that Hu Weizong has come to Hangzhou and meets Qian Sule again, it must be related to the Chen Ziyi case.
From the incident, when Huzhou gang general Qian Sufan fled to Jiangdong, we can see that Donghai Town is related to this matter. Perhaps the case of Chen Ziyi is that Donghai Town is in a relationship.
Gao Huan gave the order, hurriedly took out the knife, picked up the helmet, and walked out. An Jinyiwei with the general flag had already gathered in the yard.
Gao Huan glanced at everyone and said that Hu Weizong was the leader of the Tiandihui Society, and there were inevitably no elite backbone of the Tiandihui Society around him.
"Go to the Duke of Yue!" Gao Huan ordered in a deep voice and hurried out of the yamen.
In the mansion of Duke Yue, Fang Guoan was already asleep.
Now is the critical moment of the struggle between Longwu and Zhu Yihai. Fang Guoan, as the Zhejiang tycoon who took the initiative to surrender to the court, received generous rewards from the court.
In order to establish a model, He Tengjiao allocated a large amount of money and grain to Fang Guoan. Not only did he buy the officers and soldiers of Fang's troops, but he also released news that Sun Kewang had been named King of Xichuan and others to pacify the Zhejiang clan, so the court appointed Fang Guoan as the prince.
This news made Fang Guoan very excited. In addition to being happy, he took another concubine.
At this time, Fang Guoan was sleeping soundly when suddenly he was pushed to wake up by his concubine, "Duke, someone outside asks for a visit."
Fang Guoan opened his eyes, frowned, sat up from the bed, and said angrily: "What's the matter? I dare to wake me up at this time."
"It's me! Gao Huan!" Gao Huan's voice came outside the dormitory.
Fang Guoan was shocked when he heard the words. He did not dare to neglect the spy chief sent by Zhu Youjian at all.
These spies are all ecstasy figures. Just saying a few bad words to the emperor can end the political life of a minister, and even his life is difficult to preserve.
"Gao Zhenfu!" Fang Guoan exclaimed, hurriedly put on a coat, put on his shoes, and walked out.
"Gao Zhenfu, it's so late, what's the important thing?" Fang Guoan came out and saw Gao Huan, who was criticized by a chain mail, his waist was broken, and his sword was covered with clothes as if he was facing a great enemy, couldn't help but ask.
Gao Huan said straight to the point: "Duke Yue, do you know that Hu Weizong, the head of the Tiandihui Society, is in Hangzhou?"
"Hu Weizong, what did he come to Hangzhou to do?" Fang Guoan frowned, but immediately realized that Hu Weizong would definitely not have any good things when he came to Hangzhou.
Fang Guoan was furious in an instant, "What a good Zhao Bo'an, I didn't settle the score with him, so he actually reached out to Hangzhou."
At that time, Zhao Ming and Li Chengdong rose up, seriously threatening Fang Guoan's status in the Zhejiang Group. In order to seize the credit for regaining Hangzhou, Fang Guoan took the risk of asking Fang Shiyan to steal the city, which resulted in Fang Shiyan being killed.
For this matter, Fang Guoan himself has great responsibility, but it is easier to blame others than to blame himself.
Fang Guoan has always counted Fang Shiyan's death on Zhao Ming's head. Even though Zhao Ming later killed Ma Guanghui, Fang Guoan still held a grudge against Zhao Ming and was also jealous of Zhao Ming. However, Zhao Ming was strong and he never dared to take revenge on Zhao Ming.
Gao Huan said: "Duke Yue, Hu Weizong is quite cunning, and there are few Jinyiwei people. I need Guogong to cooperate to block the city gates and send elite troops to assist Jinyiwei in capturing Hu Weizong."
As Zhao Ming's number one intelligence leader, Hu Weizong came to Hangzhou to subvert the imperial court's rule in Hangzhou. By capturing Hu Weizong, he could uproot the Zhejiang Party forces in Hangzhou through him.
Fang Guoan immediately shouted, "Come here!"
Chen Kuiquan, the commander of Fang Guoan outside, came in immediately and saluted: "Duke!"
Fang Guoan ordered: "I am inconvenient to do things now. You can lead your personal Biao and obey Gao Zhenfu's orders. Then order the four gates of defenders to close the city gates and order the Hangzhou prefect to send people to patrol the streets. You must capture Hu Weizong!"
Chen Kuiquan was stunned when he heard this. Hu Weizong was considered an old revolutionary and was very famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was widely rumored by the people that hundreds of people could not get close to him.
"As for the order!" Chen Kuiquan immediately clasped his fists.
Mao Youlun, the deputy general who came in with him, was a little absent-minded.
At that moment, the group came out with Gao Huan, and Fang Guoan went back to the house to wear clothes and armor.
At this time, everyone came to the courtyard. Chen Kui's eyes rolled. It was a great achievement to catch Hu Weizong. He immediately ordered: "Zhao Si, go and notify the four gate guards, Deputy General Mao, you send someone to the prefect's office! I will follow Gao Zhenfu to arrest Hu Weizong!"
Gao Huan did not object to this and immediately said, "General Chen, immediately order the troops and follow me. Hu Weizong is cunning. If he notices it, it will be difficult to arrest him!"
Chen Kuiquan nodded, "I will order the troops now."
Mao Youlun immediately clasped his fists and said, "Go to the prefect's office first!"
In the east of Hangzhou, in a garden under Qian Sule's name, there were candles in the room. Hu Weizong and several backbone of the Tiandihui Society were busy burning letters and confidential files.
After Zhao Ming returned to Taiwan, he discussed with his staff and decided to seize Zhejiang. The key to seizing Zhejiang was to take Hangzhou and kill Fang Guoan.
Zhejiang was originally the base camp of the Zhejiang Army, and the Zhejiang Army had a certain mass base here. Most of the gentry and people and businessmen supported the Zhejiang Army, and the Kuomintang Party also developed many members in Zhejiang.
Therefore, as long as you take down Hangzhou, capture Fang Guoan, who rebels from the Zhejiang clan, and spend some money to appease and sell troops from all over Zhejiang, Zhao Ming has confidence that Zhejiang will return to the Zhejiang clan and be included in the control of the East China Sea clan.
In order to realize this strategy, Zhao Ming ordered Hu Weizong to secretly enter Hangzhou with a large amount of money, to instigate the generals under Guoan from the side, contacted officials and gentry who supported Zhu Yihai, and prepared to cooperate inside and outside to seize Hangzhou.
After Hu Weizong came to Hangzhou, he first visited Qian Sule, a Grand Secretary who lost his official position, and learned that Qian Sule was actually planning to kill Fang Guoan and retake Hangzhou. He had contacted many people and prepared to launch a plan in the near future.
After Hu Weizong learned about Qian Sule's plan, he found that after the Jinyiwei was cleaned up, the Zhejiang faction's strength in Zhejiang was greatly damaged. It was difficult to succeed with the people and officials contacted by Qian Sule, and it would be difficult to succeed and would inevitably be suppressed by Fang Guoan.
Therefore, Hu Weizong persuaded Qian Sule to postpone the action and waited for Zhao Ming to lead his army to come, and then he should cooperate with others.
Qian Sule was not sure, so he agreed to Hu Weizong's opinion. The two of them moved their own activities, contacted or bribed more personnel to join.
Hu Weizong was active in Hangzhou for a month and had already instigated a relatively powerful general of Fang. He was about to contact Zhao Ming. When the time was agreed, at Qian Sule's side, his student Chen Ziyi was not intimate and was not intimate. He was trapped by a spy who was placed at home by the Jinyiwei to find out the news, which led to the exposure of the matter.
At this time, Hu Weizong had already learned that the Jinyiwei had taken Qian Sule away and knew that he might be exposed at any time, so he hurriedly destroyed the list of people who had contacted and sold them in the past month.
Hu Weizongzheng threw the letters of loyalty written by several generals willing to rebel into the brazier, and suddenly a sound outside the room rang out.
Hu Weizong immediately waved his hand, and everyone in the room picked up crossbow arrows and battle knives, with a serious expression.
"Sect Master, Deputy General Mao is here!" The voice of the backbone of the Tiandihui Society was heard outside.
Mao Youlun did not enter the house and said anxiously outside the door: "Master Hu, the Jinyiwei has learned about you in the city, and soldiers will come to arrest you immediately. You can leave here quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Hu Weizong was not surprised, and he was still holding the crossbow machine in his hand and calmly said, "What about you?"
Mao Youlun gasped and said, "I haven't been exposed yet. As long as Master Hu is safe, I have my own way!"
Hu Weizong said: "Don't worry, Deputy General Mao, the Jinyiwei cannot catch me."
Mao Youlun said: "It's good that this is the case. Now the four gates are closed and there are soldiers patrolling the streets. All I can do is tell you, I can't help if I leave the city."
Hu Weizong said in a deep voice: "I know, be careful!"
Mao Youlun turned around outside the door and hurriedly climbed over the wall and left.
