    The assassination of Ma Shiying can indeed bring chaos to the Southern Ming Dynasty for a period of time, but it is obvious that the Manchus must pay a high price for this assassination operation, and must also endure an extremely poor success rate.  As the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, especially a controversial chief minister, Ma Shiying cherished his life very much.  Therefore, not only were there a large number of sergeants guarding him when he came in and out, but he was also always accompanied by a small group of Blackwater mercenaries.

    It took the Manchus several months to infiltrate, and it was impossible to deploy a large army of soldiers and horses in Nanjing that could annihilate Ma Shiying's guards in a short time without alerting the defenders in the city.

    Relatively speaking, the cost of assassinating Shi Kefa is much lower.  As we all know, Shi Kefa is an upright person who attaches great importance to his reputation.  A good reputation is Shi Kefa's greatest weapon.  Although the party struggles within the Ming Dynasty were cruel, everyone was a scholar-bureaucrat, and they were far from being able to show their swords and guns clearly.  Furthermore, if Shi Kefa was assassinated, wouldn¡¯t it mean that his political opponents were pouring dirty water on his own head?  In this era where reputation determines political status and official career, this is tantamount to killing yourself.

    Therefore, Shi Kefa never worried that someone would assassinate him. He even had a few servants following him up and down the court, but no other guards.  If the Manchu Qing Dynasty targets Shi Kefa, the possibility of success is extremely high!  And the consequences it brings are not much smaller than those of assassinating Ma Shiying!

    Before the Battle of Yangzhou, Ma Shiying claimed to be the master of the imperial court.  But every time they had to implement administrative orders, not to mention the various obstructions encountered by the Kedao and Qingliu gangs within the court, these administrative orders could not leave the capital at all.  When those decrees came into the hands of local officials, those from the M Party did not need to mention them, and those who were not from the M Party simply ignored them.

    The more upright people simply wrote a letter to refute it, while the more mature Quan pretended not to notice.

    After the Battle of Yangzhou, Lao Ma had a heart-to-heart talk with Shi Kefa, which made Shi Kefa defect to him and cooperate with him.  It¡¯s just Shi Kefa. The most important thing is that Shi Kefa brought a large group of officials from the Far East Forest Party.  To a certain extent, Shi Kefa, a spiritual leader with noble morals, is a banner with great appeal.

    This move not only directly caused the split of the Donglin Party, but also reversed the extremely bad reputation of the Ma Party in Shilin and among the people.  This also allowed Ma Shiying's decree to be implemented smoothly.  So for the current situation in the court, Ma Shiying discussed it with Shi Kefa first, and then raised it in the court after the two reached an agreement It can't be said that it was raised. The two bosses nodded, and the subsequent actions were nothing more than procedures.  It's just a legal formality.  And every time the old man Wang Duo shows his teeth and claws, to those who are familiar with it, he is like a clown, which is meaningless.

    Therefore, Shi Kefa is very critical and very important to the Hongguang regime.

    ¡°What will happen to the Donglin Party without Shi Kefa, leaderless, and leaderless?  What will happen to officials everywhere?  That's all. The most terrible thing is that Ma Shiying can't find a successor who can convince everyone!  Promote your own henchmen?  It's convenient, but how can it be heard by everyone in the world?

    In the current situation, once Shi Kefa is gone, the people most likely to enter the cabinet are Huang Daozhou and Zhu Dadian.  The terrible thing is that neither of these two people are members of the Ma Party!  Presumably, after Shi Kefa was assassinated, Ma Shiying may no longer be as handy as he is now, and he has no intention of implementing administrative orders. He can only be anxious to quell the disputes in the court.

    Chen Yu is a smart woman. After experiencing the turmoil of the founding of the People's Republic of China, she has a deeper understanding of politics.  So after hearing the report from my subordinate, it only took a few minutes to think clearly about the cause and effect.

    Angrily pounding the table, the spy chief stood up and said, "Notify the embassy and remind Nan Ming to be more vigilant"

    Perhaps the two hours were too tight, so the subordinate ignored Chen Yupingsu's prestige and interrupted anxiously: "Director, based on my personal understanding of Nanming's administrative efficiency, I'm afraid that by the time Nanming reacts, Shi Kefa will have already been satisfied."  Qing succeeded in assassinating him."

    Yes, administrative efficiency.  Jinyiwei has not established a direct cooperative relationship with the Australian Overseas Intelligence Center, let alone Yingtianfu.  Therefore, if you want to tell this news to Jin Yiwei, who is better at counterintelligence work, you must first relay it to the Nanming Government through the embassy, ??and then the Nanming Government will relay it to Jin Yiwei.  Thanks to the poor communication methods of this era, just two hours is not enough to cover the huge city of Nanjing, plus the time to gather the fans.

    "I know." Chen Yu glared at her subordinates sternly. After the latter lowered his head, she spoke very quickly: "Ask for help from the embassy and request for military support; the monitoring team immediately arrested all Manchu and Qing spies under surveillance.  , the action team was dispatched, and regardless of whether the Manchus were forced to find out the detailed assassination plan, we must try our best to protect Shi Kefa's safety."Seeing that the subordinates around him were still listening to his reprimand, Chen Yu was annoyed: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Move!"

    ¡°Action, action, action!¡±

    A clerk quickly pressed a hidden button on the wall behind him, and a moment later alarm bells blared throughout the secret base.  Countless agents from the action group gathered together, received guns and ammunition in the equipment room, and then quickly rushed onto the streets of Nanjing under the leadership of their respective superiors.

    On Zhongzheng Street, outside the newly opened rice store in the south, a guy who looked like a shopkeeper looked around anxiously.  Behind him, he carried a long firecracker, and the store's plaque was covered with red silk.  A group of people watching around were noisy and asking when the business would open.

    The shopkeeper stood in the cold wind, with sweat on his forehead, and just said, "It's coming soon, it will be an auspicious time soon."

    After a long while, the shopkeeper suddenly caught a glimpse of a sedan approaching from the east, and his eyes suddenly widened.  After taking a closer look, he suddenly raised his hands in all directions, said a few words of courtesy, and then ordered the worker to light firecrackers with a wave of his hand.

    The gongs and drums are noisy, and the firecrackers are blasting.  The bright red silk was also torn off, and it was very lively for a while.  No one noticed that there was a special Sky-Drilling Monkey in the firecracker, which flew so high that it exploded into a ball of blue in the sky.

    In a remote alley a few hundred meters away, an old man named Uncle Li stroked his beard and let out a sigh: "We're finally here."

    The scarred man next to Uncle Li waved, and the two men behind him were so agile that they jumped up to the roofs of the houses on both sides in a few moves.  At this moment, more than twenty people were placed on the roof.  They are all dressed up as ordinary people, holding long knives, sharp blades, or bows and arrows in their hands.

    Uncle Li was silent for a long time and nodded to the scarred man beside him: "In this case, I will entrust you with this matter. Remember, you must confirm Shi Kefa's life and death. After confirming, avoid the Shicheng Gate, and someone will naturally come to meet you.  Withdraw." After a pause, "Master will not hesitate to reward you when the job is done. Needless to say, gold and silver, even raising the flag is not a bad idea."

    The scarred man grinned.  The rewards of gold and silver are nothing more than that. What they do is to make a living by licking blood. Isn't it just for windfall?  As for raising the flag, forget it.  Nowadays, when we divide the river and govern, we still don¡¯t know who will win and who will lose in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.  If you raise the flag, don't you have to follow the Qing Dynasty all the way to the dark side?

    After saying a few words, Uncle Li frowned and raised his hands to the scarred man: "In this case, I will leave."

    "Uncle Li, why don't you see with your own eyes how Shi Kefa died?"

    Uncle Li did not stop, but waved his hand casually: "I am a scholar, and I will never see blood."

    When Uncle Li walked away, the man with the scar spat: "Bah! You plan to kill people without showing any blood, but the damn scholar is even more ruthless than the old Jianghu!" After muttering a few words, the man with the scar looked left and right.  Then he climbed over the wall and climbed onto the roof.

    No one saw the senile Uncle Li sneak into a private house a street away. When he came out, he was indeed dressed like a middle-aged scholar.

    ¡­¡­

    Shi Kefa¡¯s sedan chair passed through the main street, and when passing by a small house, the door suddenly opened.  Then a man stumbled out, carrying two firecrackers.  He shouted: "I'm born, I'm born, it's my son, hahaha!" Then he put the firecrackers at the door and set them off.  Two firecrackers were not enough, so the guy used magic tricks to bring out more firecrackers from home.

    The dense sound of firecrackers did not attract Shi Kefa's attention at all. The sedan continued to move forward and arrived at the dangerous alley.  At this moment, a few pedestrians suddenly rushed out and started making noises.  Then a certain guy lost his balance and bumped into Shi Kefa's sedan.

    Shi Kefa, who was sitting in the sedan with his eyes closed and concentrating, could not sit firmly and almost fell out of the sedan.  Shi Kefa got off his official hat and was annoyed: "What's going on?"

    By this time, Changsui and his servants had already rushed forward.  The troublemaking gangsters were so frightened that they bumped into the big shot's sedan chair that they just knelt on the ground and kowtowed.  After learning the cause and effect, Shi Kefa couldn't laugh or cry. He had a lot of money and was too lazy to care about it. He just waved his hand and left.  Unexpectedly, one of the guys actually shouted and begged him, Shi Kefa, to make the decision, saying that several other thugs had falsely accused him of stealing the money

    At the same time, two snipers stood on the tallest building of Chaotian Palace, aiming back and forth with their sniper rifles.  Suddenly, one of the snipers stopped, grabbed the walkie-talkie and reported excitedly: "Eagle eye report, ten o'clock direction, six hundred meters away, suspicious target found. Repeat, ten o'clock direction"

    "ZiziIntelligence confirms that the operation team has rushed to the target. Hawkeye continues to monitor, lifts the weapons restriction, and allows the provision of fire support after the exchange of fire."

    ? ???Hawkeye received.  "The two snipers put down their walkie-talkies and pointed the scope at the target. They saw more than twenty guys wearing Ming Dynasty civilian uniforms and holding various cold weapons lying on the houses on both sides. And a little further away  , a dozen men in black were approaching slowly with small steps, holding pistols.
