Chapter 584: An Important Decision
Just after the first month, Zheng Jinhong, who was preparing to lecture on martial arts, suddenly fell ill and was bedridden.
Zheng Jinhong is Zheng Xunrui's absolute confidant, the real right-hand man, and a person that Zheng Xunrui will never lack.
Zheng Xunrui hurried to Zheng Jinhong's mansion, looked at Zheng Jinhong, who was pale in bed, and Yuhuan, who was crying into tears, his mood was very heavy, he asked Zheng Jinhong in detail about his feelings, and finally came to a conclusion that Zheng Jinhong was tired, and there should be too many things.
This made Zheng Xunrui very self-reproachful, which was his responsibility.
In terms of management, Zheng Jinhong can be said to be really in power, directly managing Zheng Jiajun, including all expenses and income, as well as dark lines, etc., and as long as it is confidential and important, Zheng Jinhong is basically directly responsible.
Xu Wanghua is also Zheng Xunrui's most trusted confidant, but the situation of Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong is a little different, Xu Wanghua is mainly worried, that is, mental work, and he rarely does the things that need to be arranged and arranged in person.
Zheng Jinhong must be relieved of responsibility.
Zheng Xunrui understands Zheng Jinhong's character, everything must be done personally, for fear of not doing well, he has to personally care about very small things, and he is always afraid that others will not do well, such a character is not very good, but it is also out of loyalty to him Zheng Xunrui, it can be said that Zheng Jinhong's characteristics cannot be changed.
Xu Wanghua has a very good grasp of this aspect, once the matter is decided, he will arrange for others to implement it, and he can be responsible for supervision, which is probably because Zheng Jinhong has too little reading.
Therefore, the only way is to reduce Zheng Jinhong's burden.
The position of the chief soldier of the Zheng family army must be held by Zheng Jinhong, not anyone else, and after so many years, the officers and men of the Zheng family army have become accustomed to such a model, and they regard Zheng Jinhong as the commander second only to Zheng Xunrui.
From the bottom of his heart, Zheng Xunrui can only believe that Zheng Jinhong can lead the Zheng family army.
As for the expenditure of money and food, more people can be arranged to assist, for example, the law enforcement battalion can be asked to be more responsible for the specific matters of implementing the expenditure of money and food. Zheng Jiajun's expenses are very large, and there are too many subtleties involved, and this is also one of the basic elements to ensure the combat effectiveness of Zheng Jiajun, so Zheng Jinhong should still be in charge.
Something that can be taken out directly. It is the jurisdiction of intelligence networks and dark lines.
Don't underestimate this matter, before Zheng Jiajun sent troops to Beizhili, Zheng Xunrui had lost his temper because of the delay and inaccuracy of the intelligence of the dark line in the capital, and since then Zheng Jinhong, who is in charge of intelligence network affairs, has been more careful. The things that are directly asked are also becoming more and more detailed.
The construction and management of this intelligence network is a matter of great concern.
The importance of the intelligence network is self-evident, especially Zheng Xunrui, who is gradually on the cusp, needs a lot of intelligence, not only the capital and the imperial court, but also the intelligence of the Houjin Tartars, Liukou and many places in the south, not to mention the intelligence network in Huaibei, so that Zheng Xunrui can accurately understand the movements of officials and officials at all levels.
Someone must be in charge of the intelligence network, and when thinking about the candidates, Zheng Xunrui was very troubled.
Xu Wanghua has too many things. It is certainly not possible to directly control the affairs of the intelligence network, and the rest of the people either do not have the ability to govern the intelligence network, or they cannot be truly trusted by Zheng Xunrui.
Three days later, Zheng Jinhong's health was slightly better and he was able to get up, so he struggled to get up and do things.
After Zheng Xunrui learned the news, he immediately rushed over.
"Jinhong, don't be in a hurry to do things, the body is the capital, if the body is exhausted. Then there is nothing, you are not yet thirty years old, and you are tired like this, and all the gray hair comes out. This is my responsibility. ”
"Young master, this is all because of the subordinates' lack of courage, so many things, the subordinates have to do it, and they can't be delayed."
"Don't worry, you still have a few days to rest. After feeling fully recovered, I will think about doing things, talking about the affairs of Wutang, Mr. Xu is preparing, it is almost over, you can start the first phase of training at the end of the month, related expenses, etc., Mr. Xu will send someone to report to you. ”
Zheng Xunrui did not ask Zheng Jinhong to rest for a long time, he knew that such a request could not be done, Zheng Jinhong would definitely not do it, he was always lying at home, I am afraid that the blow to Zheng Jinhong would be even greater.
"Yuhuan, these few days, take good care of Jinhong, what supplements do you need, go directly to me to get it, I told my wife, here are three thousand-year-old ginseng, brought from the north of the Liao River, boiled and drunk for Jinhong."
Yuhuan knew that Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jinhong had something important to say, so he took the ginseng and went out.
"Jinhong, Chongzhen four years to now, nine years, we have done a lot of things together, these things in the eyes of many people, almost impossible to do, but we have done it, this is our pride, but our responsibility has become more significant, there are many people around us, our every move affects everything for them, so we need to be more cautious and careful in doing things in the future."
Zheng Jinhong, who was leaning on the futon, propped up his body.
"Young master, my subordinates also feel that there are more and more things, so I said that the Zheng family army is about to expand to the scale of 120,000 people, and it is distributed in Shaanxi, Fuzhou, Penglai and Huaibei and other places, just say that the matters under the jurisdiction of the government need to be worried, the young master proposed to talk about the affairs of Wutang, and the subordinates fully agree and admire, as long as the officers at all levels of the Zheng family army are captured, so that they are always loyal, they are not afraid of what the emperor and the court will do."
"You're right, there are so many things we need to think about, and that's why you need to take care of yourself."
Speaking of this, Zheng Jinhong thought for a moment and spoke with a serious face.
"Young master, in fact, my subordinates also know that there is a problem if this continues, but there are too few people around the young master who can really be trusted, except for Mr. Xu, there is almost no one who can directly entrust him to do key things, his subordinates think that Lord Wen Kun is indeed good, but unfortunately Lord Wen went to Fuzhou, as for other people, his subordinates think that it is okay to do a certain aspect of things, but it is not okay to do comprehensive things."
Zheng Jinhong is telling the truth, the person who is truly worthy of absolute trust is not to say that there is none, but Zheng Xunrui is at a critical moment, and he does not dare to trust others easily, otherwise he will not use people well, which will cause heavy losses at least and suffer a fatal blow at worst.
Yang He, Hong Xintao, Hong Xingui and Hong Xinyu in the Zheng family army are trustworthy, but their knowledge is limited, and it is okay to lead the soldiers to charge into battle, and it is difficult to do other things.
Xu Jikuang, Li Yan and Li Panlong, as Zheng Jinhong said, can be responsible for a certain aspect of things, but it is still too early to participate in a comprehensive major matter.
"Jinhong, what you said is right, although there are many talents around me, but there are too few people who can really take on key matters, do you have any suggestions, or any recommended candidates."
"The subordinates are also thinking these days, and the subordinates have thought of a few people, the first is General Zheng Kaitao, but he is loyal and does not have much scheming, so he is suitable for the Zheng family's army, and General Zheng is in charge of the artillery battalion, and the responsibility is equally heavy, the second is General Hong Xinyu, General Hong has always been by the young master's side, indispensable, and cannot be transferred, and the third is Lord Zhao Danyu and Lord Liang Xingli, Lord Zhao is already the prefect of Fengyang, and Lord Liang is responsible for managing the affairs of the Firearms Bureau, and they cannot be transferred."
After Zheng Jinhong finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui thought for a while.
"Jin Hong, I have an idea, let the Xu Fo family come out to do things, I plan to let her take charge of the intelligence network and the dark line, what do you think."
Zheng Jinhong's body trembled slightly, in his impression, women will never be able to participate in politics, but under the current situation, there is indeed no one around the young master, and it should be helpless to let the Xu Buddha family come out to do things, you must know that the Xu Buddha family is absolutely loyal to the young master.
Seeing that Zheng Jinhong didn't speak immediately, Zheng Xunrui smiled slightly, he knew that Zheng Jinhong must have an opinion in his heart, but he wouldn't say it, in fact, this information and dark line matters are suitable for women to do, women are more careful than men, and when dealing with complicated information, they can often grasp the key points, and Xu Fo's family used to be the shopkeeper of Shengze's homecoming, and he has been in contact with all kinds of characters, and he has also seen a lot of the world, and he can play a major role in really sinking into it.
"Jinhong, this matter is determined like this, you can rest at home for a few days, take care of your body quickly, and after you go back, I will talk to Mr. Xu, the matter of the dark line and the intelligence network is very complicated, you take the opportunity to get rid of it, and the focus is still on Zheng Jiajun."
Hearing Zheng Xunrui's decision, Xu Wanghua's face changed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal, and then immediately expressed his support for Zheng Xunrui's decision.
This made Zheng Xunrui very emotional, the knowledge is different, the performance is different, Xu Wanghua can't completely agree with such a thing, subconsciously, Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong have similar understanding, that is, women and the harem can't participate in politics, so as not to break the rules.
In fact, let the Xu Fo family control the intelligence network and the dark line, Zheng Xunrui also thought repeatedly, this is a double-edged sword, the loyalty of the Xu Fo family is needless to say, but once there are too many secrets, will the Xu Fo family have other thoughts, and if the Xu Fo family does not do something well, what kind of punishment should be accepted, etc.
All of this requires Zheng Xunrui to make detailed arrangements, and at the same time put forward clear requirements for Xu Fojia.
Maybe letting the Xu Fo family do such a thing will make some changes in its personality, but everything is like this, there must be gains and losses, it is impossible to be perfect, under the current situation, let the Xu Fo family come out to do things, it is still the most appropriate and wise choice.
