Chapter 531: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
······
After about half an hour, the National Security Council had finished declassifying some of the classified contents that could be decrypted, and the meeting returned to the main topic.
However, because of the confidential issues involved in this topic, the recorders could not be allowed to enter for the time being, and several of us present could only record the topic in their own minds.
When the cabinet meeting restarted, the dozen or so cabinet ministers of the kingdom were still a little dazed and at a loss.
There was no way, it was really the news they heard was so appalling that their hearts were shocked and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
They had long known that there were several intelligence agencies under the National Security Council, and that the Ming Intelligence Bureau was one of the behemoths, and they also knew that the kingdom had been infiltrating the Ming Dynasty since the time of the Xuan Army.
However, no matter how they imagined it, they just couldn't imagine that now, the National Security Council has actually achieved that level.
They not only had their own people in the court of the central government of the Ming Dynasty, but also controlled several middle-level and high-level Ming officials through various overt or covert means.
Locally, they do it even more exaggeratedly.
Not only did he establish intelligence stations in several important cities in the Ming Dynasty, and began to try to control local commerce, but he also gradually began to replace the family of officials in the yamen.
At the same time, in the mountains and forests near some of the major transportation routes in the Ming Dynasty, several armed forces under the banner of bandits were formed to support the intelligence agencies in various places to carry out armed conquest.
Even among the thirty-six teams with loud names that are now the most famous of the Ming Liukou, there are also their own personnel infiltrating them. If it is weak, it will infiltrate the intelligence officer, and if it is strong, it will directly pull up the pole and establish itself as the king, crisscrossing all over the country.
What's more, the current kingdom actually established several armed forces in the Ming Dynasty wearing the clothes of the Ming Dynasty officials, and ate the imperial food of the Ming Dynasty in a grand manner.
In terms of this performance, should it be said that Daming is too incompetent? Or should the National Security Council be praised for being too powerful?
Fortunately, everyone has experienced strong winds and waves, but after being surprised for a while, they each hid what they thought in their hearts and continued to start today's meeting.
"Your Majesty, although in the past few years, we have continued to sell the heads of Houjin Tartars to the military leaders of all parts of the Ming Dynasty to cover the Ming official army that we completely control, but in private, there are still people who know that their combat effectiveness is superior among the armies of the Ming Dynasty, so now there are voices within the Ming Court who want to mobilize our teams in the Ming Dynasty to suppress the bandits. Fortunately, we also have a certain amount of power in the Ming Court, and we have already figured out a way to use the Houjin Tartar to knock on the Xuanfu, and those few troops must guard against Houjin as a reason to suppress this proposal. ”
Chen Xin ignored the words of the invitation, but focused on the sentence of Houjin knocking on the Xuanfu, "The Tartars want to fight the Xuanfu again?" ”
The spokesman for the intelligence services was somewhat unsure of what to answer, but the head of the General Staff stood up and took over.
"Your Majesty, there is no definite information on how the Tartars will act, but I am afraid that Hou Jinguang will not be able to make up for the losses of last year and this year by robbing the Mongols of the little income he had.
The General Staff has carried out relevant deductions, and if I were Dolgon, I would definitely extend in the direction of the Ming Dynasty and get more loot to make up for the past losses. ”
"Hmm." Chen Xin nodded in agreement with the General Staff's inference. "Since the Tartars want to fight Da Ming's idea again, we can't just watch it, Da Ming will be ours sooner or later, and we can't let Houjin give too much harm.
Tell the field troops of the Golden State side that they can appropriately put a certain amount of pressure on the Houjin side.
Also, it's entirely possible to let elite troops such as the Rangers strike at Dolgon's logistical supply lines and make a mess of it. It's better to have dates and no dates than to dare to do anything.
Anyway, as long as it's something that can make Houjin Tartar uncomfortable, we can do anything. ”
"Understood." The Ministry of War, together with the General Staff Department and the intelligence department, recorded Chen Xin's opinions.
The military department is responsible for a series of military-related matters, such as recruitment, training, material mobilization, ordnance formation, and so on.
The General Staff Staff, on the other hand, honestly formulates all kinds of plans and makes all kinds of contingency plans, and once the war begins, the General Staff will be responsible for taking over the command.
Of course, the intelligence department must always cooperate with all departments and be ready to win every war together.
After they were all recorded, the intelligence department's spokesman continued, "Since the kingdom set up customs, cracked down on smuggling trade, and directly opened the merchant inns to the islands of Dongjiang Town, the situation in the kingdom's major ports has been greatly improved.
Recently, the domestic anti-espionage department has not found more Tatar spies and traitor lackeys. Can we send some of the domestic action team to Daming to help do something? ”
"Oh? Is there anything else that needs to be done other than that fake ticket case? ”
"Your Excellency, this infiltration in the Ming realm is inseparable from money, but our means of doing business are too powerful, and the locals can't compete with us at all, so all kinds of private black methods continue to greet our secret infiltrators. The armed forces we planted in Daming need to constantly attack the black hands that come over, and basically there is no time to be idle.
There are two main things to do during this time, in addition to the fake military ticket case, the main thing is that a big incident happened in the middle and upper reaches of the Grand Canal, and some people colluded with the government to engage in local protectionism, and did not allow our goods to enter the local market.
However, the action teams in the surrounding areas have other things to do, so the subordinates asked for instructions if they could temporarily mobilize the domestic action teams to help with this vote, and then hurry up and come back. ”
Chen Xin returned to his seat, sat down, shook his hand and said, "You look at the arrangement yourself, I don't care about the specific plan, you are an expert, just listen to you."
However, I have an opinion on these two cases, that is, the workshop that made fake military tickets must be ruthless, and after the people are eliminated, they must find someone to spread the news in the local area, and directly tell them that they are the hands of the bank where the bill was issued. ”
None of the cabinet members present expressed any objection to Chen Xin's opinion. This is a major matter related to the future development of the kingdom, and it must not be soft.
