64. Secret agent risked death to pass the police message Wang Shuo gambled on 100,000 brocade clothes


After Luo Yangxing abandoned the Forbidden City, he had already surrendered to Li Zicheng.Moreover, he knew Wang Shuo's true identity.Could it be that he was going to betray himself Wang Shuo couldn't help but think.After a little hesitation, he still followed Luo Yangxing.Luo Yangxing is the biggest spy leader in the imperial court, and Wang Shuo is a famous general in the northwest and an enemy of 10,000 people, which Luo Yangxing should be very clear.If he had betrayed Wang Shuo to Li Zicheng, he would never dare to come over alone to seduce this famous martial arts general in the northwest.Directly sending troops over and surrounding Wang Shuo in Li Yan's mansion was the best way.A person came so mysteriously and mysteriously, which aroused Wang Shuo's vigilance and made him prepared, which is something that only a fool is willing to do.Judging from this aspect, Luo Yangxing could not have come to arrest him.Luo Yangxing beat around the bush and took him to a tea shop in Hu Lao'er Hutong that also sold snacks, and then went up to the second floor and asked for a private room.There was no one else in the private room, the two tea tables were empty, and Luo Yangxing asked Wang Shuo to sit.Wang Shuo picked up the tea table by the window and sat down, looking at the layout of the private room without saying a word.You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.Wang Shuo is facing the biggest spy leader in the Ming court, and he doesn't dare to take it lightly.Wang Shuo looked at the room and the street for a long time, and could not see any danger or hiding place.Luo Yangxing also knew that Wang Shuo was guarding against him, which was normal for him, and there was nothing strange about it.Sending away Xiao Er, who was carrying the teapot, Luo Yangxing sat opposite Wang Shuo and said with a smile: "It's really a big deal, so I took the liberty to come to General Wang, don't blame it."

Wang Shuo stared at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

This person refused to follow him back to the northwest for the sake of filial piety, and stayed here to join Li Zicheng, which is really a pity.Luo Yangxing said slowly: "My sentry is in Mukden, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I heard that the Manchu Qing Dynasty appointed the Nine Kings Dolgon as the general, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and all the men over the age of fourteen have been dispatched and driven towards our pass.This time, they wanted to compete with Dashun for the Central Plains, so they didn't know what to do, so they had to ask the general to come over and discuss. ”Wang Shuo was not surprised by the news.Although it has been very quiet in the vicinity of Jingshi these days, he believes that as long as Dolgon is still the clever and cunning Prince Rui, he will definitely not let go of this great opportunity to enter the Central Plains.It's finally time to come.He pretended to be calm and asked Luo Yangxing: "You didn't report this matter to His Majesty Dashun" He wanted to see why Luo Yangxing told him this It stands to reason that he is now an official of Dashun, and he should report this kind of major matter to Li Zicheng in time.I saw Luo Yangxing smile bitterly and said: "I'm already idle at home, why do I have to find myself bored to tell them" It turned out that some time ago, Liu Zongmin tortured officials, and Luo Yangxing was not spared, and he exhausted his family wealth before he fished himself out of prison, and since then he has been disheartened with Dashun, resigned and went home.Although he is no longer in office, some of the intelligence systems he set up are still functioning.The spies in Mukden got the news that the Manchu Qing had launched an attack on the Central Plains, and they still managed to pass the news to him.Speaking of this, Luo Yangxing smiled bitterly again: "I understand, this is a brother in Fengtian, I think he is still Han, and he still wants to do his part for all Han people, so he risked his life to pass on this news back."

I don't want to live up to this brother's patriotism, but what can I do" Wang Shuo was also touched by the patriotism of this spy in Mukden.It is necessary to inquire about the situation of the intelligence system originally set up by Luo Yangxing.To put it bluntly, this Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei is equivalent to the current spy organization, with spies all over the country, and the intelligence system is still very powerful.In order to support these spies, Chongzhen allocated more than 100,000 taels of silver to Luo Yang every year.Luo Yangxing was also fortunate to have these silver taels in his hand, so he fished himself out of the prison of Chengtianfu.Now, these silver taels have been spent for his own redemption, and he can no longer afford to feed these spies, and this organization is afraid that it will disappear from now on.After listening to Luo's recount, Wang Shuo felt that he had picked up a treasure this time.The establishment of a nationwide intelligence system is not an overnight thing, and Hu Lianqi has not pushed his intelligence system outside the Great Wall until now, but a lot of money has been spent.After thinking about it for a while, he decided to help Luo Yangxing maintain this intelligence system.He took out a silver ticket and said to Luo Yangxing: "Your spy bureau still has to keep it."

This is a silver ticket of 100,000 taels for Gao Sheng, you save some flowers, and when I hit Beijing one day, this spy network in your hand must be handed over to me completely. ”The Gao Sheng number is a ticket number issued by Gansu people, and there is a semicolon in Beijing, and the credibility is no problem.Luo Yangxing's eyes lit up when he looked at the silver ticket, and then he dimmed and said: "General, the country is about to be turbulent, you trust you so much, you will hand over such a large sum of money to you without asking, and you are really grateful."

However, I can't accompany you back to the northwest, you are not afraid that I will swallow this money privately" Wang Shuo shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid."

I can defend the city for my master until the last moment, I don't trust such a loyal person, who else can I trust" A trace of tears rolled in Luo Yangxing's eyes, and then he calmly asked: "Does the general want to keep all of this spy network or only part of it" Wang Shuo said: "Keep it all." ”Luo Yangxing pondered for a while and said: "One hundred thousand taels of silver, it can support one year at most, and after a year, I still can't support it."

Wang Shuo said: "One year is almost enough."

As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket worth 5,000 taels and said, "This is your own living expenses, you don't have to think about saving me money, you can spend it when you need to."

I came out this time, and I brought these with me.If you don't have any money and I haven't arrived in Beijing yet, you can send someone to find me, and I'll give it to you. ”Luo Yangxing solemnly took the two silver tickets, put them in his arms, and then said: "General Meng's trust, Luo will not say those polite words, as long as he does not die, he will be here at any time, waiting for the general to come back" This tea shop is a contact point he set up.Wang Shuo nodded.Intuitively, this person is credible, for an intelligence network, 100,000 taels of silver is worth a fight.Then, he inquired carefully about Dorgon's exit.The secret agent in Mukden heard that the Manchu Qing Dynasty went all out this time and mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized, and it is estimated that the Manchu and Han Eight Banners combined were no less than 200,000 people.At the same time, the Mongolian Eight Banners also received an order to prepare for an attack and are making preparations.Dolgon accepted Hong Chengchou's suggestion, and the Manchus attacked the Great Wall from the vicinity of Xifengkou of the Great Wall in the middle and west of the Great Wall, and then surrounded Beijing.The Mongol Eight Banners followed suit, cutting off the reinforcements around Beijing, trying to wipe out Li Zicheng in Beijing in one fell swoop, then occupy Beijing, and then divide his troops to attack all parts of the Central Plains.This is different from the history that Wang Shuo knows.Could it be that Dolgon did not collude with Wu Sangui and did not plan to come in from Shanhaiguan:
