Chapter 80 Factory Guard

Luo Shengdong's fear of factory guards truly comes from the bottom of his heart.

When his father was able to transfer from a guard soldier to the navy to become the commander-in-chief, in addition to his heroic achievements in killing the enemy, it was also a coincidence - his father's predecessor, the commander-in-chief, was in Yazhou City.

After offending Jin Yiwei, a group of Tiqi went directly to the water village to get someone, and even the generals did not dare to stop him. The unlucky guy was brought out within three days of entering Jin Yiwei's yamen. It is said that he didn't even have a complete bone in his body.

He couldn't find it and died miserably. Luo Shengdong's father taught him since he was a child that he can offend anyone, but he must not be an enemy of the factory guards. If he offends others, he can still fight with all his strength. If he can't fight, he can't fight.

You can beg for mercy to save your life, but if you offend the factory guards whose purpose is to arrest officials, then there is really only a dead end.

Of course, the crew members on this ship are all trusted subordinates of Luo Shengdong, otherwise he would not dare to take this group of people to the Victory Port to trade with the Haihan people. But Luo Shengdong still understands the principle of a hundred secrets and a sparse, so many mouths.

, if the protection is not complete, someone will make a drunken mistake outside. The affairs of the Haihan people are easy to handle. After all, they have registered in Shuizhai and Yazhou, and those who know the truth are also under control. Are there any rumors? Luo Shengdong

Don't be too afraid. But if the talk about the factory guard spreads, it will be the yamen that catches the wind and takes people. There is no need for evidence. As long as there is a little rumor in the market that floats into the ears of the factory guard, it is enough to make Luo Sheng

Dong Shen is behind bars.

Factory guards are not Haihan people, and they still have a chance to be reasonable. Anyone caught in the factory guard's office is a stepping stone for them to get promoted and make a fortune. And Luo Shengdong's bright future has just started, and he doesn't want to do it for a

The Haihan people who spoke freely would have him buried in it. If he didn't have an overwhelming fear of the Haihan people, Luo Shengdong really wanted to ask his men to put this guy in a sack and throw him directly into the sea.

However, He Xi was so straightforward not because he spoke openly. As a secret front worker, he was very clear that the first thing he had to do was to fully understand his opponent, and figure out the opponent's establishment, organizational structure, operating style, etc.

Ming Dynasty's notorious factory security system is obviously He Xi's biggest potential opponent at the moment.

The Ming Dynasty's espionage system was once very complex. There was a period in history when "three factories and one guard" existed at the same time. Naturally, everyone is familiar with the first guard, which is the famous Jinyiwei. This Jinyiwei was established by Zhu Yuanzhang after its establishment.

The original nature of the police was that of the inner court's pro-army, with the emperor's trusted generals serving as commanders. Their duties were to "directly control the guards, patrol and arrest". In fact, they were the emperor's private police. They could arrest, torture, and execute prisoners on their own without even having to do so.

Through ordinary judicial institutions, it can be said to be extremely powerful.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that another very famous function of the Jinyiwei is to "hold the imperial staff." Those officials who offended the emperor and were sentenced to the punishment of the imperial staff, if they happened to have an unharmonious relationship with the Jinyiwei, would be punished.

If the imperial staff comes down, it will definitely result in death or injury. Therefore, there are not many officials in the court who dare to go against the Jinyiwei, because no one knows when they will fall into the hands of the Jinyiwei and take a fatal meal from the imperial staff.

The third factory is divided into east and west factories and the expert factory. Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, established the Dongjisi Factory in the 18th year of Yongle. His trusted eunuchs served as the eunuchs. The eunuchs of the Dongchang were second only to Si Li among the eunuchs.

The second-ranking eunuch who oversees the seals, his full official title is "Imperial Envoy Governor Dongchang Official School Service Eunuch". If the function of Jinyiwei is a secret police, then Dongchang, which directly obeys the emperor's orders, can become a real secret service and privileged supervisor.

agency, its power is still higher than that of Jinyiwei. At first, there was a clear division of power between the two departments. Dongchang did not have the power to interrogate prisoners, and the captured prisoners could only be handed over to Jinyiwei for trial. But by the end of the Ming Dynasty, Dongchang

The factory also has its own prison.

The biggest advantage of Dongchang is that the communication channels with superiors are smoother. Jinyiwei also needs to use memorials to report work, and the eunuchs of Dongchang can directly make oral reports to the emperor in person. This convenient condition means that Jinyiwei cannot communicate with him at all.

In comparison, all the yamen of the imperial court had Dongchang fans on duty to monitor them, and their pervasiveness was especially superior to that of the Jinyiwei. In history, there were several famous eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Feng Bao and Wei Zhongxian.

They all once commanded Dongchang, which made this spy agency still notorious hundreds of years later. But it is very ironic that Dongchang always hangs a large portrait of Yue Fei in the lobby, and there is also an inscription in front of the hall with the words "Fragrance will last forever"

The archway seems to consider itself a messenger of justice.

The West Factory was added by Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Jianshen in the 13th year of Chenghua. The governor of the West Factory was the famous eunuch Wang Zhi. His functions were similar to those of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and his power once exceeded that of the Dongchang. But Wang Zhi only

He only sat in this position for five years before he resigned due to failure in the struggle, and the West Factory was disbanded. But when Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, the powerful eunuch Liu Jin reopened the West Factory and handed over

He was given the leadership of his confidant Gu Dayong. Although the east and west factories were both under the command of Liu Jin, they fought fiercely with each other. In the end, in order to change this situation, Liu Jin had to build another expert factory, which he personally led.

The power lies even more than that of Dongxi Factory and Jinyiwei. During this period, the four major secret service agencies co-existed, and business competition was fierce, which made people all over the world panic and officials had too much time to take care of themselves.

After the fall of Liu Jin, the West Factory and the Neixing Factory were ordered to be abolished by Zhu Houzhao. In the fifth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, the West Factory and the Neixing Factory disappeared into history together. However, the only intelligence agencies that are still in operation today are

Two families, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, are left.

If He Xi wants to find out the status of these two organizations, the safest and most effective way is still to go through Luo Shengdong, a Ming army officer who has been attracted and corrupted by the time travel people. Although Luo Shengdong is not a member of these two organizations, he is still

He is also a person "within the system", and the information and channels he possesses are unmatched by outsiders like him. But what He Xi didn't expect was that Luo Shengdong would be so afraid of factory guards, and even verbally

It was impossible to talk about it, which made He Xi couldn't help but sigh that the public intellectual elites of later generations were simply too weak - those who clamored for "not free speech" and openly criticized the government on the Internet should really try to come to the Ming Dynasty. What does it mean?

Real speech control.

To break the stubborn feudal shackles in Luo Shengdong's heart, it seems that we can't do it without some strong medicine. He Xi made up his mind, took Luo Shengdong's shoulders, took him to a deserted place at the bow of the ship, and pressed him down

He said in a loud voice: "Mr. Luo Ba, you have been dealing with us for more than a month. Have you ever seen us say something but failed to do it in the end?"

Luo Shengdong shook his head and said: "You have always been true to your word and kept your promises. I admire you very much for this."

Luo Shengdong's words were indeed sincere. When he boldly proposed the negotiation, he did not expect the other party to fully abide by the agreement. However, the sincerity shown by the Haihan people later dispelled his original doubts. According to the original agreement,

, he was very happy to return the prisoners, give money and goods, and this time he even gave him the responsibility. This kind of trust made Luo Shengdong's favorability towards the Haihan people gradually exceed his initial precautions and fears - of course this

This kind of favorability is currently based on sufficient interests.

He Xi lowered his voice and said, "Okay, just listen and take note of what I'm going to say next. Then you'll know why we Haihan people don't care about those ghosts and monsters in the factory guard."

Luo Shengdong wanted to yell at me for not listening, but he was so curious that he really wanted to know what other means of self-protection this Haihan man had, so he heard He Xi's devil-like whispering in his ears.

The voice came.

"Within this year and next, Wei Zhongxian and Tian Ergeng will be disgraced and die!"

Luo Shengdong almost jumped up and shook his head repeatedly: "Absolutely impossible...absolutely impossible..."

"Oh? Then tell me why it's impossible." He Xi wanted to get Luo Shengdong out of this psychological fear and asked with a smile.

Luo Shengdong swallowed hard, looked around and saw no one around, and then whispered: "Everyone on your side comes from thousands of miles away, and the news they received may be wrong. I am Mr. Wei."

Nine thousand years old, he is now so powerful that the members of the Donglin Party who were against him in the past few years have all died in the hands of the factory guards. Mr. Wei has five tigers and five young men under his command, and the Jin Yiwei commander Tian Er

Geng is one of the Five Biaos, and it is said that he has a father-son relationship with Mr. Wei. Now that all the factory guards are in his hands, no one in the world dares to stroke his tiger beard, so how can he die with his reputation ruined?"

He Xi smiled and said: "Mr. Luo Ba, you are considered a smart man. If you want them to be disgraced and die, what conditions are needed to do it?"

Luo Shengdong hesitated: "Unless...unless the Holy One issues an edict...but this is absolutely impossible. Today, the Holy One has great favor and trust in Mr. Wei and refuses to grant anything he asks for, so how can he issue an edict to remove him?"

He Xi nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. The current emperor really has no reason to issue an imperial edict to remove them..."

Just as Luo Shengdong took a deep breath, He Xi said something else, which almost scared him to the point of collapse.

"...But if there is a different emperor, then the situation I mentioned may not happen."

"Change...change...what a treason!" Luo Shengdong pointed at He Xi and was speechless for a moment, and even his fingers began to tremble.

"Soon, it will only be a few months later." He Xi still maintained a harmless smile: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, these famous people in front of the late emperor may not be able to continue to be lucky, and some of them have power.

People who are too big, such as Wei Zhongxian and others, will be a stumbling block in the eyes of the new emperor."

"I will never believe such nonsense!" Luo Shengdong regretted that he had failed to reject the other party's lobbying in time just because of his curiosity. He Xi's words were like a spell, constantly lingering in his mind.

It was swirling in his mind.

"Whether you believe it or not, what is supposed to happen will happen." Faced with Luo Shengdong's excited emotions, He Xi didn't take it seriously at all. He knew that he had opened a gap in Luo Shengdong's heart, and in the next step

In the days that come, this gap will become bigger and bigger due to the impact of facts, until the dam in his heart completely collapses.
