Chapter 173: Intelligence Network
Intelligence is crucial, it is precisely because of the accurate acquisition of intelligence that Zheng Xunrui was able to prepare in advance, capture and kill King Gao Yingxiang alive, and at the same time exterminate the rogues under his command, as for the rogues who escaped in that war, most of them were later captured alive, some people were screened and sent home, and the government warned them not to behave in the future, otherwise it will not only be individuals who will be punished, but also family members, Qingyang Mansion and Yulin Border Town, Yan'an Prefecture, for the rogues who returned home, as long as they are not the big and small leaders of the rogues, Generally, they will not be investigated, but the family members of these families will be responsible, that is, they must be responsible for persuasion, and these people cannot be allowed to continue to do wrong, otherwise the consequences will also be borne by the family.
Wang Xiaoer has entered the Zheng Family Army, become a sergeant, and is participating in training.
Zheng Xunrui had already arranged for Zheng Jinhong to draw the most powerful backbone from the Zheng family's army and prepare to set up an intelligence network, according to his strength, this intelligence network could not be spread out too large, except for Yansui, the capital Nanjing and Liaodong.
Zheng Jinhong has also been operating this matter, and by the beginning of April, all the preparations were basically completed.
When Zheng Jinhong entered the wing, Zheng Xunrui was looking at the preparations for the intelligence network.
"Jin Hong, the preparation for the establishment of the intelligence network is still good, but there is one of the most critical issues, you must pay attention to it, that is, to obtain useful information from the three religions and nine streams, I know that you are considering the cost of money, so as not to waste too much money, so you position the intelligence network among officials and the army at all levels, but it is difficult to obtain any useful information from your position."
"The construction of the intelligence network has its particularity, not to say that valuable intelligence can be obtained every time, and in many cases the information obtained is of no use, but these ineffective intelligence may play an important role at a certain time, and it depends on what aspect of the intelligence is collected."
"Locating the intelligence network in the army of officials may be able to obtain valuable information in a very short period of time, but these officials and officers will not lightly reveal valuable information, and if they are not careful, they may even be discovered, and the guide itself will suffer losses, so the construction of the intelligence network cannot focus all attention on them, and it is still necessary to obtain intelligence from all sides."
"The intelligence network is a matter of consuming money, don't hold back in this regard, just use it boldly, if the money is not enough, I will come up with a solution, you don't have to worry too much about this matter."
"At present, the construction of the intelligence network, the capital and Liaodong are the key, there are too many Jinyi guards in the capital, as well as the fans of the East Factory, if you want to collect intelligence secretly, you need to be very careful, so the people who go to the capital should be the most capable, and I can't attract the attention of others, I think it is the best move to stabilize as a businessman."
"There are frequent wars in Liaodong, and the danger is very great, so the people who go to Liaodong must have extraordinary abilities, at least to be able to protect themselves when they encounter danger, and the collection of intelligence in Liaodong is secondary, the first is to stabilize and take root in Liaodong, even if it is a very good result."
"Nanjing, don't worry too much, it's okay for someone to go, but you also have to have a basic plain job, but one thing must be remembered, intelligence officers must not have any contact with the Zheng family."
"All intelligence officers must have a basic primacy, that is, even if their lives are in danger, they can't say anything, you can tell all intelligence officers, once they are in danger, or donate their lives, their families, Zheng Jiajun is responsible for life, the elderly are responsible for the elderly, and the children are responsible for raising adults, don't worry about this, but once you say it, it may implicate the family." ……
After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Zheng Jinhong didn't speak for a while, obviously digesting Zheng Xunrui's words.
Zheng Xunrui didn't continue to speak, looking at Zheng Jinhong.
It was about a quarter of an hour before Zheng Jinhong slowly spoke.
"What the young master means, the subordinates understand, the intelligence officers, all of them are among the eight hundred heroes of Hongjiabao, absolutely trustworthy, two people are sent to Liaodong, two people are sent to the capital, and one person is temporarily sent to Nanjing, the arrangements of these people, the subordinates are personally responsible, and they have always followed the side of the subordinates, there is no problem in terms of character, as for the transmission method of intelligence, the subordinates have also thought carefully, and the pass is passed through the guò post station in advance, if there is an emergency, you can take out the money, Asking the post station to expedite the delivery, which may delay some time, but there is no good way to solve it. ”
Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly.
"To be able to quickly obtain relevant information and truly build a network, only all parts of Yansui can do it, other places are unlikely, in case of emergency, you can think of other ways, the intelligence network is not a day or two in the world can be built, you need to take your time."
An hour later, the five people who were about to be sent out, under the leadership of Zheng Jinhong, came to the wing.
Everyone entered the wing room alone, they didn't have much contact with each other, and according to the rules, they couldn't ask each other, Zheng Jinhong was very strict in this regard.
Zheng Xunrui carefully looked at everyone who entered the chamber, and talked with each of them for nearly a quarter of an hour, these five people were the intelligence officers he sent out first, they all had more than two months of special training, and they knew what kind of task they were about to undertake.
Let Zheng Jinhong be in charge of the construction of the intelligence network, Zheng Xunrui is absolutely assured, he once thought of leaving Zheng Kaihua and taking on heavy responsibilities in the Zheng family's army, but this idea, because his father and mother and others entered the capital to take a bath, Zheng Kaihua must go back, the person he trusts the most, and his family, that is, Wen Manshan and others, but women cannot be involved in the war, this is Zheng Xunrui's principle, it is impossible to violate, women rely on men, just to live a comfortable life, If he was still involved in the affairs of the army, it would be a joke in his opinion.
Besides, in this era, it is impossible for women to really participate in political affairs, which will cause a backlash from many people, and even Zheng Jinhong and others will feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Zheng Xunrui is still short of people around him, this is an eternal topic, it is too difficult to cultivate or find an absolute henchman, it is not as simple as talking about it.
After the arrangement, Zheng Jinhong entered the wing room again.
"Jinhong, Yuhuan has come to Yansui Town, you have to remember, take good care of Yuhuan, you must not live up to Yuhuan, a man, if you can't let the women around you live a good life, then you can't be a successful man, you and I have been together since childhood, I also trust you the most, yesterday Manshan saw Yuhuan, said that you are too busy, there is no time to go home all day, you still have to pay attention to this aspect, you have to take time to go home every day, I know that you have too many things, and there is a lack of available people around you, Sometimes, you should not be too cautious, find talents among the 800 heroes of Hongjiabao, recommend me, you can be with them for a long time, and you can know their character. ”
"Young master, don't listen to Yuhuan, she is not sensible, there are so many things under her subordinates, how can she take care of the affairs of the family, Yuhuan can come to Yansui Town and reunite with her subordinates, this is a great gift, and she is so dissatisfied, she actually said these words in front of the young lady, and after her subordinates go back, they will definitely say her."
"Nonsense, I'm just reminding you, you must take time to accompany you more, do I want to be like you, I am busy with many things all day long, regardless of the family, men struggle, the first goal is to let the family live a good life, those propaganda from the outside world, what makes the family suffer, etc., don't listen, that's all a lie, if a person doesn't even care about his family, is it possible for him to take care of other people, then his mind is different, what he thinks about is how to climb up, Is this kind of behavior of sacrificing the interests of family members to get the most out of oneself worthy of praise? ”
Zheng Jinhong was a little dazed, he didn't expect the young master to say such words, he did have too many things, and the Zheng family's army had increased to 11,500 people, and the number of war horses had also increased to 10,000, he felt that he had divided himself into two halves, and things were too busy.
"Jin Hong, I said these words, not for you, but to let you understand, you can't ignore your family because there are too many things, and I don't want to see you busy like this, okay, you may not particularly understand this aspect, and blame me for not emphasizing it before, you have a lot of things, I think let Hong Xintao assist you and share some things, Hong Xintao is experienced and calm, knows the priorities of doing things, and his ability is indeed good, as for the military training matters, let Yang He worry more about it, You take a break from this and concentrate on other things. ”
After Zheng Jinhong left, Zheng Xunrui could only smile bitterly, judging from Zheng Jinhong's expression, thinking that he would accompany Yuhuan more, the possibility is not large, and in the early days of the formation of the intelligence network, Zheng Jinhong had more things, it seems that some things should be separated, such as the mutual market with the Mongolian tribes, including the management of military salaries, grain and grass, these things can make Hong Xintao and even Hong Xingui and others worry a lot.
With the development and growth of Zheng Jiajun, there will definitely be more and more things, which is undoubted, how to effectively and reasonably arrange personnel, it is necessary to focus on consideration, there are fewer people who are too busy to say, and it is possible to delay things.
