The emperor’s grace is vast, the emperor’s grace is vast!

Han Zanzhou, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, was moved when he learned that the emperor had handed him over the rebuilding of the inner factory. He bowed three times and nine times to the emperor, swearing that he would live up to the emperor's expectations.

No wonder Han Zanzhou is so excited.

You should know that the emperor and his ministers are even more so for them, such as the slaves in the inner palace.

Liu Chuanzong was an old man who served the emperor when he was in the Eastern Palace. It was not surprising that the new king succeeded him to enter the Sili Supervisor and admiration of the East Factory.

As for Han Zanzhou, he was unable to believe that he was promoted from a garrison eunuch in Nanjing to an eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor.

You should know that the Imperial Horse Prison is an extremely important institution among the 12 Prisons. It controls some imperial guards and is second only to the Sili Prison.

It is precisely because the Imperial Horse Supervisor has controlled military power that the emperor's confidant has always been the position of this position.

During the Chenghua period, the eunuch Wang Zhi was appointed as the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison by Emperor Xianzong, and he started to build the Xichang for a while and was in power.

Although Zi did not rebuild the western factory today, he wanted to rebuild the internal factory. This job was handed over to Han Zanzhou again. How could he not be happy?

If he only had the title of an eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, he might not be able to compare with Liu Chuanzong, who was the chief executive of the Eastern Factory, who was the chief executive of the Silis. However, if he had the title of an internal factory, Han Zanzhou would think he would not be inferior to Liu Chuanzong.

People are very ambitious, and eunuchs are also humans, so naturally they cannot be avoided.

Han Zanzhou naturally hopes that one day he can become the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor and become the number one figure in the internal surveillance.

But the road has to be taken step by step. The first thing Han Zanzhou has to do is to do the errands that the emperor has given him.

Compared with the past, the power of the internal factory to be rebuilt this time has increased greatly. It is not only responsible for investigating the internal affairs of Yingtian Prefecture, but also expands its scope to the whole country, including the areas occupied by the pseudo-Shun and the pseudo-Qing.

The emperor clearly stated that he would set up a Military Information Department in the inner factory, responsible for collecting intelligence in various administrative departments, prefectures and counties, including enemy-occupied areas.

Han Zanzhou naturally attached great importance to this.

In his opinion, the emperor rebuilt the inner factory because he was worried about the eastern factory.

Since ancient times, the emperor's subordinates have focused on checks and balances. Both the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei are hawks and dogs raised by the emperor, but if these hawks and dogs are too united, the emperor will naturally not be at ease.

Han Zanzhou knew his role very well. The reconstruction of the inner factory was to target the Dongchang. He was a dog raised by the emperor. He would bite whoever the emperor asked him to bite him. Even if the emperor asked him to bite the admiral of the Dongchang, the commander of the Jinyiwei would not hesitate at all.

The Warriors Camp and the Four Tengxiang Guards were the personal army of the emperor, but their combat effectiveness since Wanli was far inferior to that of the past. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Warriors Camp and the Four Tengxiang Guards were reorganized into new Yongwei Battalions.

The generals in commanding the army included Zhou Yuji, Sun Yingyuan, and Huang Degong.

This personal army of emperors directly under the Imperial Horse Supervisor made great achievements and played an important role in fighting against Li Zicheng and other bandits and the Qing army.

But because the battle on both sides was finally dragged down.

In the end, Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji died in battle, and only the Yongwei Camp of Huang Degong, who was suppressing the Western thief Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan at that time, was preserved.

Logically speaking, Huang Degong's Yongwei Camp should be under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but the emperor ordered Huang Degong to guard Yangzhou and guard the Nanjing gate, so he could only draw 1,500 elite troops into Nanjing and be under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

After the Nanjing nobles plotted against the rebellion case, the Jing camp was abolished, and the emperor used the Shence Army to replace the Jing camp. More than 5,000 soldiers from the Jing camp were also assigned to the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Therefore, Han Zanzhou now has 6,500 soldiers in his hands.

Han Zanzhou decided to draw 5,000 out of these 6,500 people to form an internal factory.

Among them, 500 people were responsible for the investigation of Yingtian Mansion, and the remaining 4,500 people were all sent to the local area.

These 4,500 stationed local officials are affiliated with the Military Information Department under the Internal Factory and are directly responsible for Han Zanzhou.

After this division, a general secretary can have about 300 military intelligence officials, which is enough just for intelligence work.

In Han Zanzhou's view, the role of the Military Intelligence Department is unsubstitutable for the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei.

Because the Military Information Department would send Fanzi to the pseudo-Shun and the pseudo-Qing occupied areas to spy on intelligence and send them back to Nandu in time.

Over time, the internal factory will inevitably surpass the Jinyiwei of the East Factory, and the possibility of Han Zan and Zhou Sheng as the chief supervisor of the seal will increase greatly.

Of course, Han Zanzhou also knew that the competition between the inner factory and the eastern factory was long-term. For the sake of checks and balances, the emperor would not appoint a seal eunuch until the last moment. All Han Zanzhou could do was to perform his duties conscientiously. As for who will be the chief eunuch in the end, it would be up to the emperor to decide.

However, there is an extremely important thing that needs Han Zanzhou to do now.

The emperor intended to summon Wen'anzhi, who was far away in his hometown in Yiling, as the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and ordered Han Zanzhou to send someone to pass the imperial edict.

If it were the Taiping Nianjing, it would naturally be no difficulty. But Yiling is now under the control of Bai Wang, a general under the command of the thief Li Zicheng.

In this case, it is extremely dangerous to go to Yiling to issue an order. If you are not careful, you will be captured by the enemy.

Generally speaking, the eunuchs or civil servants are sent to the decree, but it is definitely impossible in this situation.

To pass through the enemy-occupied area, you must have sufficient physical strength and endurance, which is by no means something that a pampered civil servant or eunuch can do.

So Han Zanzhou decided to hand over this task to a soldier.

Of course, this soldier now has a new identity, that is, the military intelligence department of the inner factory.

In Han Zanzhou's view, it was just right to take this opportunity to test the feasibility of dispatching military intelligence officers to the enemy-occupied areas, so he attached great importance to the selection of personnel and even asked about it personally.

After layers of screening, Han Zanzhou finally determined the role of performing this mission.

This person is named Zhou Daoning. He just turned thirty this year. He was born in Kong Wu and was previously an ordinary soldier in the Beijing Camp.

After learning the news, Zhou Daoning was ecstatic.

He knew very well that what Zi relied on the most trustworthy thing today was the Shence Army he personally formed. After the Nanjing nobles plotted against the rebellion case, the Jing camp was laid off, and the former Jing camp soldiers were dispersed and mixed with more than 1,000 people from Huang Degong Yonggu's guard camp, and were under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Originally, he thought that he would just live a life of slaughter and die, but Eunuch Han suddenly said that he would select a large number of people to form an internal factory, and Zhou Daoning was also selected.

This is nothing, after all, 5,000 people were selected.

But then, Eunuch Han chose one of the five thousand fans to go to Yiling to pass the imperial edict, and finally selected Zhou Daoning.

How can people not like this?

Because we have to go through the enemy-occupied area, the fewer people, the better.

Zhou Daoning was not resistant to performing tasks alone. He lived for thirty years, just to wait for an opportunity.

He wants to prove that he is no worse than others. Now the opportunity has finally made him wait. As long as he can bring the imperial edict to Yiling and to Wen Anzhi smoothly, his fate will change!

Is there any kind of kings, princes, generals and ministers?
