Chapter 679: Preparing to Go North
After the advance team arrived in Henan, it immediately threw itself into intense work. Li Mingtian and Zhou Billy, under the leadership of Zhou Weifan, the head of the Central Plains Intelligence Station, inspected and inspected various places.
Liang Yujie was sitting in the Far Eastern Commercial Bank, while checking the accounts while making the final preparations before the integration, and even some shopkeepers and high-level executives under Song Shiping in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Song rushed to Luoyang with various account books to carry out the final inspection before the integration.
Lin Jinghua and a group of employees in the Hetao base area stayed on both sides of the Yellow River all day to collect the migrants and help in various places, accumulating experience in collecting the displaced people. Song Tao and several of his special combat team members are responsible for protecting everyone's safety in various places.
Nervous and busy, time flies quickly, and a month has passed in an instant. The employees of the advance team in the Hetao base area and the migrant employees have adapted to their respective jobs.
Li Ming and Zhou Billy also inspected the situation in Henan and the surrounding areas. Li Ming was very satisfied with the work of the Central Plains Intelligence Station, and it was absolutely not easy to establish such a perfect intelligence network in just a few years.
And they also undertook the work of the company to collect immigrants in Daming, and also dealt with various forces in Daming through various means, which was a thousand things, but the collection points of the displaced people in various places were orderly, although in the process of transferring the displaced people, because the mood of the displaced people was unstable, a little chaotic, but all the work can run smoothly.
Judging from the situation of the Central Plains Intelligence Station in Henan, not only is all aspects of work handled in an orderly manner, but also the relationship with the forces of all parties in the Ming Dynasty. The handling is also very good. This also shows that Zhou Weifan has a strong work ability, and it is definitely worth cultivating in the future.
Billy Zhou also took advantage of this time to begin to arrange the northward strategy of the Ministry of Intelligence. The first place to attack is definitely Shanxi. A large number of agents of the Ministry of Intelligence entered the prefectures of Taiyuan, Datong, Fenzhou, Pingyang, Luzhou, Qinzhou, and Liaozhou in Shanxi in batches under various capacities.
A few years ago, the Ministry of Intelligence set up intelligence points in various provinces in Shanxi, but the intelligence force was still very weak, and now the Ministry of Intelligence has sent nearly 100 intelligence agents in order to strengthen Shanxi's intelligence force.
During the more than one month that the advance team has been in Henan, the intelligence personnel going to Shanxi have basically been resettled and have begun to collect intelligence from all quarters. And through various means to contact with the local forces, a large amount of silver was sown, and the initial work has been fruitful.
The investigation in the Henan region was concluded. Li Ming and Zhou Billy are also preparing to go north to Shanxi. Before leaving, they held a special meeting to study the next steps of the advance team's work.
Li Ming was the first to speak: "Let me tell you about the work arrangements of the advance team. Liang Yujie continued to integrate Far East Commercial Bank and strive to complete the preparatory work before the integration by the end of this year. Lin Jinghua. You continue to lead people to continue to participate in the work of the various homeless gathering points of the Central Plains Intelligence Station. It is necessary to humbly study the work of collecting displaced people there and accumulate experience in the work of collecting displaced people in our Hetao base areas.
Billy Zhou and I went north to Shanxi for a trip, even if it was to go there in advance. The people who went north with me included Song Tao and several special combat team members, and Wang Xiaojie took the rest of the people to protect the rest of the team. Everyone is at ease working in Henan, and I will be back in two months. Then the advance team will leave Daming and return to Liaodong before the end of the year. After the end of the second phase of the company's northward plan next year, we will rush to the Hetao area to carry out the initial infrastructure construction of the base area. Let's try to learn and see more here to prepare for our future work. ”
Liang Yujie suddenly raised her hand and said, "I want to go to Shanxi with you." The work of the Far Eastern Commercial Bank can be done again when you come back. I would like to have a detailed understanding of the situation in Shanxi, so that I can improve the business planning of the Hetao base area based on real-time data. ”
Zhou Billy next to him shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this won't work, according to the telegram sent back by the intelligence officer in Shanxi, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places have been extremely seriously affected this year, and a large number of displaced people have been stranded in various places, and many displaced people are coming to Henan, Huguang and other places." Moreover, there are several lines of displaced people pulling flags, and a large number of displaced people are wreaking havoc in Shanxi and Shanxi. The situation in Shanxi is extremely complicated, we have to deal with it carefully all the way this time, we definitely can't take you with us, we can't risk your safety. ”
Li Ming also nodded when he heard this: "This time we won't stay in Shanxi for more, that is, we will take a look." Mainly with Song Tao went to the hometowns of the eight traitors and Jin merchants such as Yuci, Taigu, Pingyao, Jiexiu, and Pingyang to conduct on-the-spot investigations. In our Hetao base area, we still have to point to the materials and silver of these families. If we don't just take a look, it's really not safe. ”
Liang Yujie nodded a little unwillingly, and then stopped talking. Li Ming glanced at her and felt that Liang Yujie's enthusiasm for work still needed to be encouraged, so he smiled again and said: "Don't worry, this time I will go to Shanxi and try to help you bring back a few Jin merchants who are familiar with the local situation in Shanxi, which should be helpful for you to formulate a business plan for the base area." ”
Listening to Li Ming's words, Liang Yujie's face finally had a smile. Li Ming explained a few more words, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting. Leaving only Zhou Billy, the two began to study the preparations for going north to Shanxi.
Zhou Billy took Li Ming's cigarette, then lit it and took a puff lightly, and said lightly: "We will meet with the leaders of several groups of exile armies along the way, all of which we have raised in the past two years. said that it was support, but at the beginning, he didn't listen to the preaching, but he only knew to stretch out his hand and ask for things. As soon as I saw the urine nature of these guys, I didn't get used to them, I didn't want to get supplies without gold, silver and jewelry, and even the intelligence had to be exchanged for real money.
Later, we deliberately distanced ourselves from them a few times, and turned to support other forces, and they were honest. It's all a bunch of scum and scum, not much better than those military leaders and inferior gentry. At the beginning, the leaders of the exile army were really just trying to make a living, but as soon as they became a little bit of a climate, they didn't know what their surname was, and they became worse than the landlords, old wealth, and corrupt officials. Since ancient times, peasant uprisings have been. ”
Li Ming took a puff of his cigarette and sneered: "Let's make trouble, let's make trouble, it's better for them to kill all the gentry class in the north of the Ming Dynasty, alas...... It's a pity that it's the common people who suffer. ”
Zhou Billy smiled and said: "Commander, when you go to Shanxi, you will know, there are people everywhere, thousands of miles of red land, no one cares about it at all, even if our family foundation in the Far East is thick, we can't afford to toss." Which of the local officials, gentry, landlords, and military leaders from all walks of life cares about the life and death of the common people, and they wish that the displaced people would die and die. Now only Chongzhen wants to manage the entire Ming Dynasty, but he has no silver, and he can't manage it if he wants to. (To be continued......)
