While Jiang Yugang and Lu Chong were talking, the elections for Xiaoqi and Zongqi, as well as Jiang Yugang's newly founded Intelligence Department, had ended.

Because the entire voting process was always under the watchful eye of all the participants in the meeting, and it was also held in the open space in the center of the camp, it was definitely satisfied with the openness and transparency of the election.

For the final result, no one expressed dissatisfaction or other emotions, which was also consistent with what Lu Chong mentioned - there were more than 30 people in total, and more than 20 people had obtained official positions, and almost the slightest thought of wanting to be promoted to an official was satisfied, and at this time they were too late to be happy, so naturally they didn't have the time to complain to Jiang Yu.

Although there were not many people, Jiang Yugang still dispelled all the thoughts of doing it himself, and after that, the Manggu Mountain defense line would soon expand its manpower, and it was impossible for him to be familiar with everyone.

So he announced that he had directly approved the appointment of all the small flags and intelligence officers of the Ministry of Intelligence, and focused on the new General Banner, the executive officer of the Ministry of Intelligence, the Prime Minister and the assistant director.

The two new general banners, one surnamed Li and named Li Xian, were the only small banners with official positions before the election, and he was a very capable and strong man, who was born and died in battle, and was quite recognized by everyone.

Li Xian originally wanted to be the chief director of the Ministry of Intelligence, but after hearing Jiang Yugang's requirement that the executive officers of the Ministry of Intelligence must be literate and above, he also chose the general flag instead.

Another general banner is also a sturdy man, surnamed Wang, named Wang Zhen. He was originally a cavalryman in the guard, but after several battles, the war horse was excessively lost, and he was also transferred to the Manggu Mountain defense line because of his status as an elite soldier.

The general director of the Ministry of Intelligence is surnamed Chen, named Chen Ziyu, he was raised by the elderly doctors of the health center since he was a child, and he is not only one of the people who can read and read the most in the health center, but also knows how to decoction medicine and acupuncture to cure diseases, and he is also a talent.

Jiang Yugang, the co-director of the Ministry of Intelligence, chose to let Ah Tian concurrently serve, this kid actually doesn't have any outstanding skills in craftsmen, and he can't do it well in smelting or casting.

But Ah Tiansheng is meticulous in his mind, flexible in his brain, and knows many words, and in terms of culture, he may be second only to Jiang Yugang and Chen Ziyu. is also a person Jiang Yuyan is familiar with, and he is also the director of the association, so he can better control the troops on his behalf.

The two executives did not pick the right person. In Jiang Yugang's vision, in addition to being smart and flexible, the executive officer must not only have the advantages of being smart and flexible, but not much, but he can confirm the merits of some words, but also have some outstanding skills, so that he can shoulder the burden of dealing with various difficult tasks.

But he is not in a hurry, most people's talents are still hidden and not revealed, in the past he was just a small banner, only qualified to manage a few blacksmiths, naturally there is no opportunity to get along with others more deeply

After the election, the deepest impression on the soldiers was the importance of reading and writing. These things, which were originally irrelevant to their lives, actually have such a big effect.

When everyone was about to leave here and return to their own camp courtyards to renovate, they were stopped by Jiang Yu: "Everyone wait a minute, the election is over, but the meeting is not over, we are gathered here today, in addition to assigning duties, there is one more important point: how to completely defeat the Luchuan army that wants to attack Mengyang." ”

Hearing Jiang Yugang talk about this, the people who had already gotten up and wanted to leave immediately stopped, and the people who had not moved in the first place adjusted their postures for a better time, and everyone quieted down and looked at Jiang Yugang with serious expressions.

The Luchuan Army is the biggest enemy of all of them, not only has the war and hard work all the time related to it, but also witnessed countless comrades-in-arms die under the swords of the Luchuan soldiers, and now they are shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding Mengyang City, and the Luchuan Army is also a life-and-death relationship.

"We all know the current situation, we are in the open, the Luchuan army is in the dark, we can't find them, but they can continue to launch offensive attacks." Jiang Yugang continued: "Although we have won a battle in Manggu Mountain before, will anyone think that the Luchuan army has withdrawn? ”

In the silence, one person couldn't hold back and shouted: "The Luchuan army has not withdrawn!" ”

"Oh, how so?" Jiang Yu wanted to hear the opinion of this warrior, and looked at the past, it seemed that he was selected as an intelligence officer because he was good at walking through the mountains and catching and hunting: "What is your name?" ”

"Back to Baihu, my name is An Bai, and I am the new intelligence officer." The man was ignored by Jiang Yu, and stood up a little embarrassed, he was not used to speaking in front of so many people, but he still tried to describe what he had seen and heard: "Let's just say that in Nansang Village at the southern end of Manggu Mountain, a nearby Luchuan army that doesn't know where to hide often goes over to harass them, and all kinds of behaviors are no different from bandits. ”

"That Nansangzhai is also a big village with hundreds of people, those Luchuan troops dare to swagger so much, and make a fortune, it is conceivable that it is not a few stragglers, but there are groups of men and horses still stationed nearby, they are afraid that they will not come to fight our Manggu Mountain!"

"Oh? You seem to know a lot about this Nansang Village? Jiang Yugang was preparing to enter the mountain, but he didn't expect to meet a soldier with information about the nearby cottage at the beginning.

"Hehe, I usually hunt farther, I have been to the village a few times, because I didn't wear armor, and I have been in Luchuan for a few months, I have already understood the customs of Luchuan, and the people I met don't know that I am a soldier of the Ming army, but they just regard me as a hunter in the mountains." An Bai saw Jiang Yu's interested look, and he also felt a lot of encouragement, and began to talk eloquently.

He said and pointed to his comrades-in-arms sitting on the side: "I often take some fresh pheasants to exchange some spices with the people in Nansang Village, and then hand them over to Brother Xiao Xia to cook after I come back, and I can eat an excellent meal." ”

"As I went back and forth, I got acquainted with a few people who often traded with me, and I got a lot of news from them." An Bai said with a little indignation: "I originally thought that this Luchuan rebel army was better than our Ming Dynasty to treat the people here, but I didn't expect to act more like a bandit!" ”

Jiang Yuxuan listened to Bai An talking on the side, and his heart was secretly excited, he just wanted to get some general information about the nearby cottage from these soldiers, but he didn't expect that this kid had gone deep into the cottage, and he sounded like he knew the people in it.

"Good!" , Jiang Yu clapped his hands: "The news you occasionally inquire about is the most important information for us at the moment." ”

He faced everyone again: "In fact, the current situation is as An Bai said, the Luchuan army has not yet withdrawn, and their ultimate goal is still Mengyang City, once Mengyang City is broken, the rear passage of our army will be cut off, and the grain and grass materials will not be replenished - we will be besieged here!" ”
