In Jinling City, a dark battle began.
After the two intelligence points were cracked one after another, the most direct reaction of the angry Flying Dragon spies was to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, poisoning, arson, assassination, and launching a series of terrorist activities in Jinling City, so that the imperial court knew how powerful they were, and this sign was immediately severely stopped by Xia Xun.
What they launched in Jinling was a special battle, and the cat-and-mouse game between Jinyiwei, Yingtianfu, and Wucheng Terracotta was only the surface, and the essence of the task was to provide useful help to the frontal battlefield, and its main means were intelligence spying and personnel rebellion.
Launching a-for-tat retaliatory action, killing a few officials of the yamen to inspect and arrest quickly, in addition to exhausting the latent force that he painstakingly deployed in Jinling in the confrontation, is there any benefit Poisoning, arson and other tricks can not be used, this is the internal struggle of the Ming Dynasty, it is a struggle between the Ming royal family, if they do that, they can indeed make Jinling City under the rule of Zhu Yunwen panic, but they will also completely lose the hearts and minds of the people.
Zhu Di has been able to support Zhu Di with a huge disparity in strength, and even gradually grow, precisely because except for a small number of vested interests in the court and some orthodox scholars who regard it as hatred, most members of the Shinong industry and commerce and even the army do not have strong hostility and resistance to Zhu Di, how can the Flying Dragon spy do something beneficial to the enemy and harmful to himself.
After the Songzhumei Scholar Four Treasures Store and the Yihongfang Painting Boat were successively cracked by Jinyiwei, the Flying Dragon spies lurking in Jinling completely died down.
During this period of time, Xia Xun mainly did two things to the secret spies, one is to correct their thinking, his subordinates are not bad, they can become the elite warriors of Huhui in thousands of horses, thousands of troops, how can they be inferior in all aspects of quality, but they can't adapt to this special battle, when they encounter something, they always use the thinking concept of meeting on the battlefield to solve the problem.
The second thing Xia Xun did was to take "military discipline" seriously, and take the discipline that he should abide by as a secret spy.
On this special battlefield, the discipline on the traditional battlefield is not applicable, Xia Xun carefully concocted a discipline and precautions that secret spies should abide by, and took advantage of the deaths of Zhang Jun and Xu Shiling to carry out a very strict rectification campaign, and even carried out an iron-blooded purge on some black sheep who were lost in the world of flowers and flowers and carried away in the drunken gold fandom after entering Jinling.
During this period, the only thing he allowed his subordinates to do was to constantly distribute leaflets, scatter them on the streets, stuff them into the cracks of doors, constantly attack the hypocrisy of the imperial court, and expose the truth of the battlefield.
When his internal reorganization came to an end, the operation began to escalate.
His people began to use various occasions to disseminate all kinds of true and false news to guide and sway public opinion.
Xia Xun's secret spies planted in the three sects and nine streams, and tried their best to advocate that Sheng Yong, the third commander of the imperial court's rebellious army, was a famous general and invincible.
Under their advocacy, Sheng Yong was touted as the first general of the Ming Dynasty, and the material of the imperial court pillar did not seem to be Sheng Yong, and the imperial court army would be vulnerable and crushed.
The generals of the Northern Expedition, Wu Jie, Ping'an, Zhu Rong, Liu Jiang, Deng Jian, Chen Peng, the most junior are not under Sheng Yong, if it were not for Sheng Yong's defense of Jinan and becoming famous, the seniority would be even lower than them.
Among them, the old marquis Wu Jie is a senior and respectful, and his qualifications are far above Sheng Yong; Ping An is brave and good at fighting, and his feats are impressive, and he is also above Sheng Yong, and it is unknown what this kind of advocacy of Sheng Yong will have when it reaches their ears.
Xia Xun's god-making movement was ostensibly beneficial to the imperial court, so it was difficult to arouse the vigilance and suspicion of the government's secret agents by spreading this kind of news among Wazigoulan and Fangshi wine shops.
Public opinion is easy to follow, and soon, more and more people will join the ranks of adding fuel to the fire.
At the same time, Xia Xun's people did not forget to criticize and ridicule Li Jinglong, the more Sheng Yong won, the more incompetent Li Jinglong became.
The wisdom of the masses is infinite, and the evil tastes of the masses are also infinite, Xia Xun's people are just making a start, and they can spontaneously add fuel and vinegar, and mock Li Jinglong as the first incompetent general in heaven and earth throughout the ages.
He even made up jokes such as that there was a big flood in Henan, and just by throwing Li Jinglong into it, he could block the breach because Lord Cao Guogong was the largest straw bale in the world.
When the court lost the battle, Li Jinglong was scolded by countless people, the glory of victory belongs to the emperor, belongs to the auxiliary ministers around the emperor, and belongs to the wise and martial generals, but the failure belongs to Li Jinglong, because Li Jinglong was defeated twice, which greatly injured the vitality of the court, so the court will fail.
The court won the battle, and Li Jinglong was taken out as a clown to prove that he was a waste, and everyone laughed and scolded him; The court lost the battle, and Li Jinglong was taken out as a scapegoat, or proved that he was a waste, if it wasn't for his fault, how could the court lose the battle So, the poor handsome guy Li would be scolded by everyone again.
It is undoubtedly beneficial to the imperial court to have a punching bag to divert the attacks on the imperial court and enhance the confidence of the people in the imperial army, and it is also beneficial to Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others who had to resign because of the two defeats of Zhengcunba and Baigouhe, so the imperial court has adopted an attitude of acquiescence and even connivance towards this kind of folk trend.
Under such a powerful public opinion offensive, Li Jinglong pointed out that no matter how thick-skinned he is and how good his psychological quality is, he can't stand it anymore.
Li Jinglong, who originally used pretending to be crazy to hide his inner loss and shame, slowly disappeared from the public, he rarely appeared in public, and a few days later, he fell ill.
Li Jinglong is not pretending to be sick, he has been depressed for a long time, he is really sick, and the illness is like a mountain except for Xu Zengshou and the forces belonging to Cao Guogong's lineage, he will quietly visit him, and there is no minister in the court and the central government to visit his mansion, and the adults cherish their feathers very much, and they are afraid of being stained with his notoriety and becoming the object of everyone's tide.
Li Jinglong was in a depressed mood, and when he was lingering on the sickbed, Luo Kedi's mood was very good.
When Ying Tianfu and the Five Cities Terracotta Division were still in the dog and had nowhere to go, Luo Kedi entered the palace with detailed information on the destruction of the two secret spy agencies of King Yan.
As Luo Kedi expected, when he put the information on the imperial case, Emperor Jianwen moved.
Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaocheng, and Qi Tai, who had always resolutely refused to allow the Jinyi guards to interfere in the government again, and limited their functions to the Yiluan guards, also made concessions, albeit only small concessions.
They allowed Jinyiwei to detect Yan Wang's secret spies in the Beijing Division, and at an emergency moment, they could call on the personnel of the Ying Tianfu Inspection Division and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
However, the scope of Jinyiwei's authority and investigation is limited to this, because of the terrible tiger of Jinyiwei, they are still subject to various restrictions.
Luo Kedi is very optimistic, now, with the continuous defeat of the front-line war, the official department Shangshu Ru Chang has been transferred to the military department Shangshu, Ru Chang is the main peace faction, has always opposed the cutting of the domain, advocated peace with the king of Yan, this is a signal, the emperor's trust in Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and Qi Tai and others is obviously not unconditional; Also, even Jing Qing, Lian Zining and others, who were also from the Cutting Faction, when Li Jinglong returned from defeat last time, they had also impeached Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others in anger because of a series of decision-making mistakes, which shows that the Cutting Faction is also not monolithic.
He believed that when he achieved more achievements, the emperor would realize the important role of Jinyiwei, and at that time, the emperor would put aside the opinions of Fang Huang and others and reactivate Jinyiwei, as long as the emperor ordered generals, no one would be able to stop Jinyiwei's comeback.
When the water is mixed, he has a chance.
Therefore, during the period when the Flying Dragon Secret Spy died down, the most disappointed person was Luo Kedi, he very much hoped that Xia Xun could do something vigorous, so that he would have a greater chance of going out of the mountain.
Xia Xun is indeed plotting big things, but his big things are at the strategic level, not at the tactical level.
Everything he is doing now is not directly aimed at the imperial court, and it is even beneficial to the imperial court, to the emperor, and to the ministers who are in power.
His target is Li Jinglong.
Just like a young girl who is paying attention to her crush all the time, Xia Xun is now all eyes on Li Jinglong, and he knows everything about him, because Li Jinglong's side has already installed his people.
This person is Xu Jiang.
In order to let Xu Jiang enter the Li Mansion, Xia Xun took great pains.
He first found out that Li Jinglong had a new concubine.
This concubine is the Jiangnan Red Maiko who was used once when he was in Texas.

Last time, Xia Xun took advantage of a turbidity to place a few personal soldiers around Li Jinglong, and destroyed the handsome flag in battle, so that Li Jinglong's easy victory turned into a complete defeat.
When Li Jinglong was transferred back to Beijing to ask for guilt, those soldiers were all taken over by Sheng Yong, re-installed in various battalions, and became ordinary soldiers, and had lost their important role as secret spies.
This time, Xia Xun also wanted to use a turbidity as a breakthrough, because judging from the situation of her and Li Jinglong's double pairing, this woman is undoubtedly the most favored by Li Jinglong at the moment.
Xia Xun first found out the Qinglou where Yiyun was before redeeming herself, and found the information of Yiyun's girl selling her body from the old bustard, and found her own family, a poor cousin.
Then, Xu Jiang came forward and became a friend with him.
Then, Xu Jiang "accidentally" heard that his friend's cousin had developed and became Cao Guogong's favorite concubine, so he encouraged him to join his relatives.
So, Xu Jiang, as a friend of a turbid cousin, went to Jinling City with him.
Yiyun's cousin found his cousin, and under her begging, Li Jinglong left her cousin in the Cao Guo Mansion to be a small housekeeper in the inner house, and Xu Jiang naturally mixed into the Cao Guo Mansion.
With this eyes and ears, it is not surprising that Xia Xun understands Li Jinglong's every move, he can even clearly understand how much Li Jinglong eats every day and scolds his mother several times, and he naturally has a clear grasp of the changes in his mentality.
Xia Xun felt that it was time to make contact with Li Jinglong.
