425 Li Zixiao's 'Jinyi Wei'

[Today's chapter is presented, after a day's car, so tired and hot, come back to code words, 5,000 words of the big chapter is presented, let me rest and rest! ] 】

The nearly 10,000 troops led by Li Zixiao this time did not take 6 routes, but relied on 6 Yuan and Hongsheng's naval army, as well as chartered other merchant ships.

Then, take the Yellow River, go to Huai'an to turn the canal, and go south to Yangzhou.

In fact, at this time, the Jiangbei area, the water system is also extremely large, the main trunk of the Yellow River, the Huai River water system, and the canal, etc., criss-crossing waterways, so that this place can be called the second Jiangnan.

If the 6th Army wanted to march in such an area, from Xuzhou to Yangzhou, it was unknown how many rivers it would have to cross, and how much time it would take for the 10,000-strong army to cross each river.

Therefore, the best way to march long distances in such an area crisscrossed by water is the waterway.

"General, when will we let our navy go to sea, now we are nesting on the Yellow River every day, it is really not interesting. Otherwise, if it is to help transport troops, our naval army will soon become a special force for their 6th Army. ”

After Li Zixiao boarded the boat, the commander of the navy 6 Yuan found him and complained.

After Li Zixiao returned to Xuzhou this time, he separated the sailor battalion and established a navy, directly accepted his command, and no longer mixed with other 6th military camps, and made it clear that the other White Dragon Army was the 6th Army.

When Li Zixiao established the navy, he said that in the future, the navy should not only be able to crisscross the major rivers, but also go to sea, and the vast ocean outside is the battlefield where their navy gallops.

"Haha, 6 far away, don't worry, when I tidy up the Qingjiang Shipyard, we can build our own sea ships, and then you will have the opportunity to go to sea."

How are you practicing on the Yellow River now? In particular, the training of sailors must be strictly demanded.

You must know that the sea is not as good as the Yellow River, the wind and waves are fast, I can provide you with excellent sea boats, but you also need to be able to control it. ”

Li Zixiao looked at 6 yuan and said with a smile.

"General, don't worry, these days, Hong Sheng and I have taken turns to lead our sons to practice on the Yellow River, most of these sons and daughters were born on the edge of big rivers, and they have been good at water since childhood.

We mainly trained them in the various ships, as well as in the use of artillery and muskets, as well as boarding and combat.

I can assure the general that as long as our big ship is in place, our navy will be able to control it, and we will never fail to live up to the general's expectations of our navy. ”

6 Yuan seemed to shout the last words in a roaring voice.

"Haha, okay, I believe in you, don't worry, soon the big ship will come."

Li Zixiao can only say this, and he is not sure when Li Yan will be able to completely resume production at Qingjiang Shipyard.

Even if Li Yan reorganizes the Qingjiang Shipyard, it is estimated that if the Qingjiang Shipyard wants to manufacture a large ship to go to sea, it will take a long time to run in.

But Li Zixiao, in line with the principle of 'I'd rather let people wait for the ship than let the boat wait for anyone', let 6 Yuan train enough qualified sailors early on.

Once the time comes, he will buy a big ship from other channels, or the Qingjiang Shipyard will build a big ship himself, so that they can form a fleet to go to sea from 6 distances.

Then when the time comes, it will be the time for Li Zixiao to meddle in maritime trade.

In just one day, the huge fleet arrived at the canal wharf north of Yangzhou from Xuzhou.

This time, the news released by Li Zixiao in advance was in the name of exterminating the Japanese invaders, and the Wan family would never have thought that Li Zixiao was going to them.

"General, in response to the last attack on the Yunlong Mountain Salt Farm, my subordinates have made updated progress."

When Li Zixiao arrived at the Yangzhou wharf, Zhang Fugui was already waiting on the wharf early to further report the situation to Li Zixiao.

"Even? In addition to Wanjia, are there other forces involved? ”

"Yes, General. Wan Jia is the mastermind behind the scenes, but after an in-depth investigation by his subordinates during this time, it is now clear that there are at least six salt merchants in Yangzhou, who secretly know the news and even provide cover for the Wan family.

Most of them were businessmen who were inextricably linked with Wanjia, and more importantly, according to the report of the defenders of Yunlong Mountain, among the bandits who attacked Yunlong Mountain that day, there were a group of masters.

The officer on duty in Yunlong Mountain told his subordinates that most of those masters were soldiers, because the aura of the warriors on their bodies was too heavy.

The subordinates followed this clue to investigate, and finally pointed to the source of Jinling, but unfortunately this clue was also broken, and it was impossible to continue the investigation. ”

Zhang Fugui respectfully reported to Li Zixiao.

"Jinling? Are you sure? ”

"The subordinates were sure, but they couldn't find out the source in more detail, and they were ruthless enough, after the matter failed, all traces were erased, and all the people involved died, including the families of those people.

So much so that the subordinates can no longer check it when they find it here. ”

"Hmph, there's no need to be bad, I've probably guessed who it is, I'm helping the Wan family, Jinling Lu family, you have repeatedly opposed Ben Jiang, and when I destroy the Wan family, sooner or later I will raze you."

Li Zixiao's eyes were cold, and he said in an awe-inspiring tone.

Li Zixiao guessed a little, and he knew who it was.

Those who can use soldiers in Jinling, can hook up with Wanjia, and have the ability to settle everything afterwards, except for the Lu family, there is no second one.

It's a pity that at this time, Li Zixiao's hand can't reach Jinling for the time being, and the Lu family is not comparable to ten thousand families, and the Lu family has a governor of Nanzhili and a Jinling town guard at this time.

Not only does he control the civil power of Nanzhili, but he even has military power, which is much stronger than an outdated scholar family like Wan Jia.

"Ergou, you will secretly cover more than 10,000 families in Yangzhou, and hand over the list of those salt merchants to me, just cuddle the grass and beat the rabbits, and completely uproot the 10,000 families from Yangzhou."

After Zhang Fugui listened to Li Zixiao's words, he was also cold, he didn't expect Li Zixiao to make such a big move this time, not only to destroy thousands of families, but even to let go of other coverers.

"Yes, General, my subordinates have already drawn up a list." Zhang Fugui handed Li Zixiao a list.

Li Zixiao took the list, opened it and took a look, there were not many names on it, but each of them was a well-known figure in Yangzhou.

"Ergouzi, I heard that half a month ago, you just took a concubine, it seems to be from the Wei family in Yangzhou!"

Li Zixiao looked at the list in his hand, didn't look up, just asked Zhang Fugui casually.

However, it was Li Zixiao's words that made Zhang Fugui's face white, and the hands in his sleeves couldn't help trembling slightly.

Zhang Fugui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, forced himself to calm down, and said: "Yes, general, I didn't expect the general to be able to care about the affairs of his subordinates in his busy schedule, and his subordinates are panicking!" ”

Li Zixiao finally raised his head at this time, looked at Zhang Fugui, smiled slightly, like a spring breeze, and said: "You are my subordinate, it is normal to care about your subordinates."

You were in Ruzhou some time ago, and I couldn't prepare a congratulatory gift for you, and I'll ask Quartz to prepare a rich congratulatory gift for you later, which will be counted as making up for you.

Besides, your intelligence bureau mission has been completed well during this time, and Ben will not be the kind of person who is not rewarded for his merits, so the congratulatory gift should be your reward. ”

"General Xie!"

"Alright, you go down!" Li Zixiao waved his hand and said.

When Zhang Fugui retreated, when he arrived at a place where there was no one, his body stumbled and he almost fell, but fortunately he was supported by a subordinate next to him.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" A subordinate next to him asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, let's go!" Zhang Fugui stood up and pretended to be okay and took people away.

In fact, Zhang Fugui was frightened in his heart at this time, Li Zixiao mentioned that he took a concubine for no reason, it should not be, at least not at this time.

After all, Zhang Fugui is a concubine, in ancient times, it was similar to buying an expensive slave, it would not be fanfare, and Li Zixiao didn't need to give any congratulatory gifts.

But Li Zixiao still asked, in the eyes of others, he cared about his subordinates, but in fact, the real reason was only known to Zhang Fugui, it was Li Zixiao who was beating him.

In fact, Zhang Fugui has already married a wife in Yongcheng, and she is the daughter of an ordinary peasant, and this time he took a young lady from the Wei family in Yangzhou as a concubine.

In fact, the real reason is that in order to strengthen the connection with the Wei family, compared with the ordinary old man in Yongcheng, the old man Wei in Yangzhou is more like Zhang Fugui's father-in-law.

Zhang Fugui, as one of Li Zixiao's more trusted subordinates, also has a lot of power in his hands, so he will naturally attract the attention of other big families.

For the sake of their future future, these big families often choose to marry their children to Li Zixiao's subordinate officials and military generals, or even concubines.

This is a very normal thing, at this time, Luo and Zhou Dazhu and others have all become families in Xuzhou, and they are all married to everyone.

Li Zixiao will not object to this, and he can't object.

But the reason why Li Zixiao really beat Zhang Fugui this time was that Zhang Fugui also received the full support of the Wei family after marrying Miss Wei as a concubine.

allowed Zhang Fugui to successfully complete the tasks assigned by Li Zixiao several times, and won Li Zixiao's greater trust.

Correspondingly, Zhang Fugui also secretly helped the Wei family, and with the help of the intelligence bureau in his hand, he collapsed several shopping mall competitors.

At this time, the Wei family's business in Yangzhou became more and more popular, and the family business became bigger and bigger, gradually rising from a second-rate family to a large family.

Even, this time, two of the list of salt merchants who colluded with thousands of families given by Li Zixiao given by Zhang Fugui were actually innocent.

Just because these two families had refused, the Wei family's proposal for acquisition and cooperation, since the formal channels could not be obtained, Zhang Fugui could only secretly use this method to remove opponents for the Wei family.

Otherwise, Li Zixiao's words just now directly made Zhang Fugui's hands and feet soft, but he knew very well that his boss couldn't rub sand in his eyes at all.

Li Zixiao hit him with words this time, which means that Li Zixiao already knew about it, which made Zhang Fugui wonder how Li Zixiao knew.

Fortunately, Li Zixiao did not pursue him on the spot, which means that what Li Zixiao did to him this time turned a blind eye and did not intend to pursue him.

But Zhang Fugui's understanding of Li Zixiao and the so-called reward is not to be considered.

Sure enough, soon Quartz delivered the 'congratulatory gift' given to him by Li Zixiao, which was just a letter.

"Thank you, Brother Stone!" Zhang Fugui faced the quartz, and could only bow his head and bend over, respectfully call 'brother', and climb closer.

"Humph!"

However, in the face of Zhang Fugui's flattery, Quartz glanced at him coldly, showed a disdainful gaze, snorted coldly, threw down the envelope, and rescued him.

Zhang Fugui opened it and saw that there was a line of words written on it: The merits and demerits are offset, don't be too out of line.

Seeing these eight words, Zhang Fugui let out a long breath of turbidity and was completely relieved.

Obviously, Li Zixiao had long known that Zhang Fugui had done these things secretly, but he didn't intend to pursue it, but this time he was getting more and more outrageous, and Li Zixiao beat him.

People's hearts are always insatiable, and Li Zixiao doesn't mind letting his subordinates privately use their positions to seek a little personal benefit for themselves and their families.

After all, there are no saints in this world, and people don't die for themselves, and as long as this kind of thing is not too outrageous, he will generally turn a blind eye.

But obviously, Zhang Fugui is getting more and more outrageous, and he is already out of Li Zixiao's tolerance category.

Fortunately, during this time, Zhang Fugui has indeed made a lot of contributions, otherwise Li Zixiao would never have tolerated it until now.

"It's strange, who told the general, I've done enough to hide these things, is there a second intelligence organization under the general, who is responsible for secretly monitoring me?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Fugui felt a chill all over his body.

Zhang Fugui couldn't help but look at the subordinate who followed him next to him, who was his most trusted subordinate.

At this point, he was even suspicious of him, but then he shook his head and vetoed himself.

During this period of time, he has made a lot of contributions, and gradually drifted away, thinking that Li Zixiao can no longer do without him, and he can't do without the intelligence bureau in his hands.

However, today's incident directly poured cold water on Zhang Fugui, which made him sober up instantly.

"Hey, I'm so confused, confused! I should have thought a long time ago, with the temperament of a general, how could I hold such an important intelligence agency in my own hands! ”

Zhang Fugui slapped himself in the face a few times, and said to himself with remorse.

"No, I have to hurry up and send away the silver sent by the Lu family when I go back, it's just a hot potato!" Zhang Fugui left in a hurry.

"General, do you want to continue to let the people of the 'Tianting Pavilion' continue to monitor Zhang Fugui? This kid is so dishonest, the general should teach him a lesson. ”

Quartz came back from delivering the letter and said to Li Zixiao.

"Tell the people of the 'Tianting Pavilion' to continue to lurk and not reveal their identities. As for punishing Zhang Fugui, there is no need.

Zhang Fugui, this kid, is this kind of temperament, if you punish him, I can't say that he will have resentment in his heart, he is not stupid, he will figure it out.

Thinking about a person like him, expecting him to have clean hands and feet, it is impossible, if you don't have to, you have to beat him, he and you and Qi Wei, Wei Hong, they are not the same kind of people.

But on the contrary, Zhang Fugui is more suitable than you all in the intelligence industry, and it is not impossible to let him make a little cheap in private, just don't be too out of line. ”

Li Zixiao said to Quartz with a smile.

"Oh!" After listening to this, Quartz nodded inexplicably.

Anyway, he doesn't have so many fancy intestines, so if he doesn't understand it, he just needs to do what Li Zixiao said.

The so-called 'Tianting Pavilion' was actually made by Li Zixiao himself, similar to the institutions of the Ming Dynasty's 'Jinyiwei' and 'Dongchang', which were responsible for monitoring his subordinate military generals.

In Li Zixiao's view, the establishment of the 'Jinyiwei' and 'Dongchang' in the Ming Dynasty had advantages and disadvantages, but it was still completely necessary for the superiors.

It's a pity that in the late Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen didn't resist the pressure of hundreds of officials, and after killing Wei Zhongxian, he abandoned the 'Jinyiwei' and 'Dongchang'.

As a result, Chongzhen completely became deaf and blind, and was constantly fooled by the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty under him.

Otherwise, if Dongchang or Jinyiwei still has the same power as before.

How could Chongzhen not know that those eunuchs and nobles in the capital, all rich and oily, shouted poverty to him every day!

Chongzhen is equivalent to blinding his own eyes and breaking one of his hands and feet, he really believes in those ministers too much.

Anyway, Li Zixiao didn't want to be a deaf and blind boss and monitor his organizations, and he had been laying out the layout from the beginning.

It's just that Li Zixiao's 'Tianting Pavilion' has much less power than the Jinyiwei and Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty.

Because on weekdays, these people are only responsible for lurking, watching, remembering, and secretly reporting, and they are not allowed to do anything else.

Li Zixiao only needs to know from them all kinds of mistakes made by his subordinates and generals, and some unsightly things he did in secret.

As for how Li Zixiao should deal with these people, there is no need for the 'Tianting Pavilion' to manage.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they could take the emperor's special order and arrest people wantonly, which would cause a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases, and the power of the 'Tianting Pavilion' was much smaller.

What Li Zixiao needs is a supervisory agency, not a secret agency.

As long as Li Zixiao knows the inside story, he can beat and deal with those subordinates who made mistakes through legal channels and in the name of the positive.

There is no need to use spies, which will only cause panic among your subordinates.

Moreover, at this time, the 'Tianting Pavilion' is not like Zhang Fugui's intelligence bureau, it is a well-known institution under Li Zixiao.

This 'Tianting Pavilion', at this time, among Li Zixiao's subordinates, apart from himself, there is only one quartz who knows.

Even, Quartz also went to a fixed place every time according to Li Zixiao's instructions and used a specific password to get information.

Quartz doesn't know how many people there are in the 'Tianting Pavilion', who is leading, who is watching, etc., a series of questions.

Li Zixiao is the only one who can know all this, after all, this kind of monitoring of his subordinates is not very good, so it is still carried out in a low-key manner.

has already learned such a lesson from Chongzhen, of course Li Zixiao has to learn a lesson.

It is precisely because of the existence of the 'Tianting Pavilion' that Li Zixiao was able to know the unsightly things that Zhang Fugui did in secret.

If you change it, it's better, and you can continue to use it, if you don't change it, then it's time for him to be ruthless.
