"Your Majesty, it's my fault that all the mistakes are my fault......," Ruan Xihao said exhausted.

Before he said this, Hu Chenghe had been talking to Wei Ze for a while, and Wei Ze had a tough attitude and demanded strict discipline, and no matter who it was, party discipline must be enforced. The recent incident of "brothers" taking care of each other must not happen again. Hu Chenghe admits that discipline must be observed, but he believes that it is necessary to leave dignity for everyone.

Everyone here is a human spirit, and everyone knows that no one is willing to make any concessions in this matter. Ruan Xihao was physically and mentally exhausted when he listened, and he couldn't help but come out to speak.

Wei Ze sneered, "We have been talking about abiding by party discipline and state law for so long, and everyone has participated in so many studies. Now you, Ruan Xihao, obviously still don't want to take party discipline and state law seriously? To put it bluntly, this time I'm here to protect everyone. You Ruan Xihao must mix blindly in it, and you must trick everyone, then I will have nothing to say to you from now on. ”

These words were so heavy that not only Ruan Xihao didn't know how to deal with it, but the others also changed their faces a little.

Wei Ze stared at Ruan Xihao and continued: "Look at it now, the British, the French, and the infiltration of foreign forces in the country is only deeper than imagined, if the upper echelons refuse to admit that it is their mistake to release the news indiscriminately, and clarify the matter, it will not be long before you discover one thing, there are various connections between you and the people close to you and foreign infiltration forces." If you can't sort things out first, someone will definitely involve you in order to protect yourself, and do you still want to make things clear at that time? Now to honestly explain things clearly, that is also a matter of party discipline. After arriving, do you think it is still a matter that can be defined by party discipline? ”

Ruan Xihao was completely stunned, he really didn't know if Wei Ze's words were a threat or an exhortation. As for Ruan Xihao personally, he really never had the idea of colluding with foreign countries and betraying Chinese intelligence, let alone actual actions based on this idea. But no matter how you listen to Wei Ze's words, you will feel a strong murderous aura. That's uncompromising.

Seeing that Ruan Xihao had not yet understood the meaning, Wei Ze simply said it more clearly, "It is treason to communicate with foreign countries, and we will never have any forgiveness for traitors." ”

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Ruan Xihao really understood the meaning of these words, Wei Ze said: "That's all for today, since Ruan Xihao is also here, then live in Nanjing for a while." There are many things to discuss, and you don't have to rush back to Beijing for the time being. ”

had a confrontation with these representatives of the upper echelons, and Wei Ze called Lin Asheng, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Geng Guozhong, director of the National Security Bureau. Neither of them looked very good-looking, but the anger that was not directed at Wei Ze gave them a kind of vitality.

"Governor, a group of people have been found in the customs. I don't think it's time to wait, if I can continue to dig up more melons. Lin Asheng introduced the situation.

"Now it's mainly internal ghosts, the British can't directly contact our troops, and the internal ghosts in the troops are all developed by people in the government and customs. I support Secretary Lin's view. Geng Guozhong expressed his approval.

Seeing Wei Ze's thoughtful appearance, Lin Asheng couldn't help but ask: "Is it that those old comrades are not convinced?" ”

"Not convinced? Probably. Weser could only smile bitterly. He didn't think they were really traitors right now. The reason why he has not adopted a sweeping strategy is that Wei Ze is afraid that these people will not have the opportunity to continue to improve, and then take the lead in tossing in the country. To set a grand strategy for the future is to let people know that there will be nothing to do and nothing to be done in the next few decades.

However, the situation at this stage is worse than Wei Ze thought, and these heroes have begun to have their own internal rules. Just as they would rather admit to engaging in internal intelligence transmission troops, and would rather accept "Weizer's punishment" stubbornly, they will not promise not to do so in the future. I really don't know if this is a salvageable straightforward personality, or a hopelessly stubborn feudal temperament.

Thinking of this, Wei Ze replied: "Slowly close the net, starting from the propaganda, mainly from patriotism and the corresponding traitors to make comparisons. After all, these things take a long time to publicize, and this is an opportunity. ”

Lin Asheng and Geng Guozhong were stunned, although they knew Wei Ze's temperament, but they didn't expect Wei Ze to not give up propaganda at such a time. Geng Guozhong couldn't help but say: "Governor, if you do this, will it make those people feel that something is wrong." If they run away, that's bad. ”

Wei Ze said with a smile: "So this time we should start in multiple ways, and while engaging in publicity, we will also carry out another discipline strengthening month activity." Late arrivals and early departures will be strictly checked within these two months. Although there will be problems in the inland provinces, I don't think things will be so strict. Just focus on the coastal side of things. ”

In this way, Lin Asheng and Geng Guozhong probably understood Wei Ze's plan a little. Lin Asheng smiled bitterly, "Dudu, we always knew that you were generous enough. Now I know how generous you really are. Playing with all kinds of means, we really can't compare. ”

Wei Ze could only take this as a compliment, and he said seriously: "We are doing this to fight the enemy, if it is our internal organization, then we must follow the right path." ”

Although he said this, Wei Ze thought in his heart that "there must be more human resources that can replace these people, so that those who are unqualified can be replaced more calmly." The biggest problem now is not that there is really no way to replace the people in the upper echelons, but whether there can be no less talented people than those people to take over the work after the replacement. The purge of the army by Uncle Tie Guò saved the Soviet Union, and the key was to let those outstanding personnel get promotion opportunities after the brutal purge. These things have to be done with enough time, and it's really not something that can be solved in a hurry.

The person in charge of the Northern Command went to Nanjing, and there was no new replacement for the time being, and the Northern Expedition of the Liberation Army came to a halt. The situation that the small Manchu court was most afraid of was that the Guangfu Army chased after it last year and fought all the way outside the pass. Now the situation they feared most did not materialize, or they already knew that it was not the biggest problem at all.

For more than 100 years, the Banner People have lived on hardcore crops that have been sustained by sucking blood from all over China. Now they don't know how hard life really is when they don't have to support themselves. The customs area is sparsely populated, but the natural environment is quite harsh. In addition to the cold, the mountains are dense with forests, and the plains suitable for cultivation are densely packed with rivers, and it is really difficult to feed a large-scale population if it is not rectified according to the agricultural situation on a large scale.

The bannermen outside Beijing have all been wiped out, and the total number of more than 100,000 people who fled from Beijing, except for tens of thousands of troops, the rest are the upper echelons of the bannermen. These people are even less capable of farming, and they do not know how to hunt and fish. In the winter of 1867, people died of starvation in Shengjing, outside the gates.

In March, the weather is finally getting warmer, at least the snow and ice are starting to melt, and farming can also be considered. Zeng Guofan, a Hanchen who was extremely rare in the small Manchu court outside the Guan, put forward a plan to grasp the reclamation and hoard grain outside the Guan. The small Manchu court did not have much interest in this plan, and Prince Gong Yixin said: "Zeng Guofan, I heard that you have an inside line in the Guangfu Army, why don't you quickly contact them and find out the truth of the Guangfu Army." ”

In fact, it was not the Hunan army that planted the inner line, including the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which also tried to insert the inner line in the Liberation Army. However, there was no wireless telegraph in this era, and cable telegraphy was not a tool for the Manchus to understand or build capacity. The situation of the battle has changed so violently that those intelligence lines of communication have no effect at all. Even whether the personnel they have planted will be able to infiltrate the Liberation Army is a big question.

Zeng Guofan was completely able to understand Prince Gong's thoughts, and the top priority was to quickly figure out the movements of the Liberation Army. If the small court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had painstakingly cultivated the land, and the soldiers of the Guangfu Army suddenly killed outside the pass, it would have been over. If you can understand it, you may not really agree, Zeng Guofan found that the Liberation Army did not have the impulse to dominate the world in a hurry. They always take a piece and hold it until the new chassis can be used as a forward base for the next sortie.

This approach can be discussed, but the Liberation Army has never suffered from such an operation so far. At this time, of course, the possibility of the Liberation Army being killed outside the pass cannot be ruled out, but the biggest problem facing the Manchus now is really the problem of eating. Shengjing is not large, and it can barely accommodate more than 100,000 people. The army can be stationed in other areas, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty still used the traditional one, that is to say, the upper echelons of the banner people were still not able to take production as their top priority, and hundreds of thousands of upper echelons let hundreds of thousands of banner people outside the customs to feed them according to the old system. When they were in Guannai, more than a million bannermen were supported by hundreds of millions of people, so that could the bannermen become hardcore crops. At present, let hundreds of thousands of bannermen outside the border feed more than 100,000 bannermen at the top, and whether it is reasonable or not, you can know from reality that this will not work.

Although Zeng Guofan was loyal to the monarch, he was not stupid, and he frankly put forward his opinion, "Prince Gong, the minister thinks that the top priority is to quickly reclaim the land and grow food. These people are soldiers when they go out, and people when they enter. If the Liberation Army enters the Guanwai, we can immediately organize an army to fight them, and we need to let them farm the land on weekdays. The minister wants to dare to ask Prince Gong, if the Guangfu Army does not fight outside the border this year, we are just making all kinds of plans, what will we eat in winter? ”

After listening to Zeng Guofan's words, Prince Gong Yixin smiled bitterly: "Zeng Guofan, do you think this king really doesn't know?" But now, there are some things that the king can't do! ”
