Chapter 7: Going South (2)

Due to the delay in the war in Liaodong, the eunuch party further suppressed the Donglin Party for nearly a month. When Zhu Yinglong once again used Long Ying's pseudonym to enter Jiangsu with Xu Ruying and Xiong Tingbi, Cui Chengxiu, who was in power in Beijing, threw out the "Three Dynasties Meeting" for five years under the instructions of Wei Zhongxian. He used the sage of the Emperor of Heaven to reverse right and wrong, confuse black and white, and slandered the Donglin Party members by using the attack, moving the palace, and Hongwan cases to "take credit" and "vent personal anger" to the world, and sent Tiqi to arrest the Donglin Party members in four outings.

When Zhu Yinglong received this news, he had to speed up his traveling south, so he changed to the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou and went straight to the south of the Yangtze River by water.

The ancient city of Yangzhou is a prosperous place. Since Emperor Yang of Sui dug the canal, it has been the throat of land transportation hub and the north-south canal transportation. It is the largest metropolis in the southeast. The Slender West Lake is beautiful in scenery and is known as "the world's wealth". Zhu Yinglong set up the headquarters of "Shadow Dragon Boat Far" and "Shadow Dragon Trading Company" here. The person in charge is his brother-in-law Tian Wan.

Under Tian Wan's secret arrangement, Zhu Yinglong and others needed some supplies in Yangzhou and replaced them with a large ship. Xu Ruying was very surprised by the huge power and financial resources behind Zhu Yinglong. She could not have imagined that the little man who gave her twenty-two years of chastity was actually hidden behind her. The power of the White Lotus Sect was not worth mentioning in his eyes. The reason why she decided to follow Zhu Yinglong south and marry a chicken with a chicken was secondary. The main reason was to find out what her husband was, and why even the White Lotus Sect's intelligence network had not discovered the existence of this huge power. You must know that the White Lotus Sect is spread all over the country. She is the nominal saint and the leader of the White Lotus Sect. It is appropriate to communicate information.

If it weren't for the delay in Shandong, Zhu Yinglong would have been interested in visiting Yangzhou. The ancient city of Yangzhou and the prosperous place of fireworks, Zhu Yinglong had long longed for it. However, due to the tight time, he could not have such leisure. From the information from the shadows, he learned that Xiong Zhaolian had already led people to Wuxi, Suzhou, Changshu and other places. Due to insufficient manpower and Zhu Yinglong's previous instructions, they did not take action before the Tiqi of the Dongchang came.

Zhu Yinglong was determined to integrate the intelligence network of the White Lotus Sect into Shadow. Shadow wanted to turn him into a military intelligence collection organization within his overall plan. The intelligence network of the White Lotus Sect hoped to collect similar and commercial intelligence organizations in the court and Ming Dynasty dynamics. Should we first join together, then separate, or maintain the status quo? Zhu Yinglong was also very worried. The advantage of the combination was that he could understand the dynamics everywhere. The disagreement was to cause trouble for future division of families, because Zhu Yinglong not only needed them to divide the labor, but also needed them to supervise each other and monitor each other to achieve a balance of power. This is the so-called power struggle technique.

After thinking about it over and over again, Zhu Yinglong finally chose to integrate. No one would expect anything in the future. What is important is that there is no perfect intelligence network in front of him to compare with Wei Zhongxianyi, who is in charge of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

How to integrate and how to integrate, Zhu Yinglong chose the intelligence network of the White Lotus Sect to be integrated into the Shadow and brought to Zhou Huaian's control. Xu Ruying was newly a wife, but after all, she was still the nominal supreme leader of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect without an intelligence network is equivalent to a sheep slaughtered by others. This is the only force she can rely on. If she handed over this, she could only be a obedient little wife. However, in front of Zhu Yinglong, especially guessing the powerful strength behind Zhu Yinglong, she could not raise the courage to refuse. If she did not agree, she knew that the consequences would be ugly. In the end, she handed over the intelligence network in her hands in a painful choice. In other words, she handed over the White Lotus Sect that she could control completely to Zhu Yinglong, and she had nothing except the identity of a "saint aunt".

Zhu Yinglong was helpless to do this. If this intelligence organization was in the hands of Zhou Yingning or Tian Shuying, he would never completely deprive Xu Ruying of control. There may be no problem now, and it may have a lot of help to him, but there may be big trouble in the future. Therefore, it is also a good thing to be careful of Yu Weiran and completely cut off Xu Ruying's thoughts.

Out of a trace of guilt in my heart, Zhu Yinglong was much gentler to Xu Ruying, and his words were no longer so cold. Sometimes he was very caring. He looked at it as an enviable loving couple. Speaking of considerate women, Zhu Yinglong in the back time and space is much better than ordinary men in this time and space. The spring breeze by the pillow blew away the dark cloud in her beautiful little woman who didn't know the taste of love. Once the desires of men and women are released, the mud is deep and cannot be extricated, it is like breaking the dam.

After all, there are hundreds of years of experience. In terms of love between men and women, there are many times in the time and space where information explodes. Some people specialize in the study of sex. Compared with men in this time and space, he understands the psychological and physiological needs of women better. In Xu Ruying, he transformed the so-called theories into practical experience, which made Xu Ruying fall deeper and deeper in Zhu Yinglong, and he cannot extricate himself. It can be regarded as a typical case of love caused by desire.
