Chapter 1203: Reflection

The cold eyes swept over the heads of the two violent organs of the Tang Dynasty, it was Gongsun Changming, this time there was no such confident smile on his face as before, this time, not only the army had a problem, but also the intelligence agency.

"Let's talk about it, what do you think about this time?" Li Ze exhaled a breath of turbid air and said.

Gongsun Changming straightened up and glanced at everyone, here, except for Li Ze, the seniority is the highest. The first person to open his mouth to make a review must be him.

"Your Majesty, this time in terms of intelligence, we have made a big mistake." Gongsun Changming said: "This is not just the problem below, the root is still from above. We didn't pay enough attention to Xiang Zhen and people like Qian Shouyi and Ding Hao, so that after Xiang Zhen made the Guangzhou Mutiny, the response was slow and the intelligence collection was not effective, so that the imperial court could not make an effective early prediction of this matter. ”

"Why is this happening?" Li Ze asked.

"After the incident happened, I also made a deep reflection, and such a problem occurred mainly because of two aspects. First, they are still paralyzed in their minds, believing that victory is in their hands, and they lack full understanding of the enemy's stubbornness. Second, after the establishment of the Intelligence Committee, the intelligence agencies have undergone a large-scale reorganization and reconstruction, and the original strict system has not been established and connected after this reorganization and reconstruction, resulting in gaps in some aspects. A large number of peripheral personnel have been dismissed and abandoned, which has weakened our ability to detect intelligence, and the internal censorship system has made many people panic and uneasy, and some people have even been investigated and imprisoned because of this review. ”

Hearing this, Wu Jin said: "Mr. Gongsun, do you mean that because our supervision has made these people unable to perform their duties effectively, which has led to the negligence of intelligence work?" ”

Gongsun Changming waved his hand: "Wu Jin, I'm just explaining a phenomenon. The disappearance of Wang Yikun, who was in charge of Lingnan intelligence, directly led to the sluggishness of the entire Lingnan intelligence system, and this incident happened when we were still in the process of adjustment. The intelligence system is originally a gray area between black and white, and the supervision side should not supervise them as ordinary officials, but should give them a certain amount of space. ”

Wu Jin was furious: "Then let's talk about this Wang Yikun, as a senior general of the Tang Dynasty's internal guard, he is responsible for the intelligence operation of one party, but this person's greed has reached the point of being stunned." He took advantage of the privileges given to him by the Intelligence Committee, and now our investigation of him is only the tip of the iceberg. But even these have been found out, and they are already shocking, this person has secretly amassed millions of dollars, and at least eleven spies have been killed because they found out about his illegal behavior. How much was Shen Congxing greedy back then? was brought to justice by His Majesty, Shen Congxing is like this, what is Wang Yikun? If the safety of our intelligence system is actually tied to the body of one person, then the intelligence system itself is a big problem. ”

Wu Jin turned around and looked at Li Zedao: "Your Majesty, this incident also reminds us that the supervision of the intelligence system must go further, what a person should do and what he should not do, there should be a bottom line in his heart." We have never denied that there will be some operations that go beyond the norm in this particular trade, but still the red line cannot be crossed. ”

Li Ze pressed his hands down, signaling Wu Jin and Gongsun Changming to calm down.

"The intelligence system really needs to be reformed further." Li Ze said: "We can't always think that no matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat, the one who catches a mouse is a good cat, and we can't just look at the ability to collect intelligence and engage in some special incidents, we must also strengthen the ideological education of these intelligence personnel." These people who wander in the dark are more likely to be corrupted and impregnated, so we need to strengthen this aspect. Wang Yikun, in the past, was indeed outstanding in terms of intelligence performance, but once something happened, the blow it brought to us was incomparable. ”

"Your Majesty, in the next step, we will make a big effort in this regard." Gongsun Changming was a little depressed.

"Turn up the elephant and come back!" Li Ze said lightly: "The networking of Yizhou has been basically completed, and Heren has been able to support the overall situation, and where to send another person, it is enough to form two lines with Heren, one bright and one dark, and there is no need to let Gao Xiangsheng stay there." ”

"Turn up the elephant and rise back?" Gongsun Changming was stunned.

Li Zedao: "That's right, let Gao Xiangsheng come back to be responsible for the cleanup and reorganization of the foreign intelligence system, and Tian Bo will no longer care about this in the future." His ability is not enough to control the following guys with great powers, so he will only be responsible for internal affairs in the future. ”

"Yes!" Gongsun Changming nodded sullenly.

Tian Bo was dismissed in disguise, which was a loss for Gongsun Changming. Because Tian Bo has always been obedient to him, and Gao Xiang's rise back will inevitably form a certain restrain on Gongsun Changming, this person is a veteran of the intelligence community, a real ruthless person. Compared to himself, he is afraid that he will not be far behind, he has returned to the center, and in the intelligence system, he will inevitably fight against himself.

In a few words, it is already destined to set off an even more massive clean-up operation within the intelligence system, but I am afraid that it will be crowded again.

Seeing Li Ze's gaze turn to him, You Yong knew that it was his turn next. Although Li Ze himself is the chairman of the Military Committee, the real general affairs are managed by himself, and this level has to be passed no matter what.

"Your Majesty!" You Yong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "The problem of the army, as you said before, is that there is a real problem in the mind. Over the years, under the wise leadership of His Majesty, we have not suffered any major setbacks at all. But it is precisely because of this that from top to bottom, there is a kind of thinking that Lao Tzu is the best in the world. That's why Ren Xiaonian's reckless behavior this time, without the order of the front army and the order of the imperial court, cut first and then played, which led to the failure of the entire imperial court on the grand strategy of the south, which is my dereliction of duty. ”

Li Ze sighed: "If you want to say who is responsible for this, I am the first." As General You said, our army is still brave and good at fighting, but the habit of pride is afraid that it has penetrated into the bone marrow of every soldier. Pride is not a bad thing, but it is a big thing to despise an opponent because of pride. But there is a more important thing that led to the Ren Xiaonian incident. ”

"That is, many soldiers feel that our great cause of reunification is coming to an end, and the big war against the south will be their last chance for rapid promotion. I still want to climb up. It is a good thing for a person to be self-motivated, because with this self-motivation, he will have the motivation to work hard, but there are many people who will use this motivation in a crooked place. ”

Li Ze sneered: "Ren Xiaonian is a typical example. This reminds us that the army, especially our generals, still has not banned the order, imprinted into the depths of their own blood, and still does not understand that the army is just a fist stretched out by the imperial court, the fist does not move, how to move, when is it the turn of the fist to make its own assertions? ”

The bigwigs of the military committee all hung their heads.

"In our army, is there only one person like Ren Xiaonian who thinks like this? I'm afraid it's a lot. It's just that these people haven't encountered an opportunity like Ren Xiaonian. If they had, they would do the same. Li Ze said: "Cao Zhang, the next Yixing Society must work this, the Yixing Society has done a very good job in the local area, but in the army, the strength is still not enough." You and those pen sticks of the Yixing Society, from now on, you have to think about it, what should we do in this matter? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"The intelligence system needs to be overhauled. The military also needs to conduct a comprehensive education anew. Li Ze said: "If the ideology is not unified and solid, such a thing may still appear in the future." General You, now that the front-line war has stabilized, let Li Mi and Ren Xiaonian return to Beijing to report on their work! ”

You Yong was taken aback: "Your Majesty, although the front line has been stabilized, but at this time, let the two of them return to Beijing at the same time, I am afraid of ......"

"That's it!" Li Zedao: "This matter must be a beginning and an end. ”

"Li Mi and Ren Xiaonian left the Right Qianniuwei at the same time, with the ability of Gao Wufu and Yu Xiaowen, I am afraid that I can't afford the reorganization of the Right Qianniuwei and the important task of stabilizing the front line, Your Majesty, Qian Shouyi is in Ji'an, but there are still tens of thousands of troops, and the reinforcements from Lingnan and Fujian are also moving towards the border area."

"Transfer the right Weiwei Zhonglang general Chen Changping to the deputy general of the right Qianniuwei, temporarily acting as the general, and preside over the overall work." Li Zedao.

Chen Changping was Li Ze's old man when he started his family, and he was an old man with archery skills, which was rare in the world, and enjoyed a very high prestige in the army. said that it was temporary, but I am afraid that it will not be long before it will turn positive.

"Then what will happen to Li Mi and Ren Xiaonian next?" You Yong asked.

The tone has been set before, and it is not appropriate for Ren Xiaonian to be punished publicly. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to making this major strategic failure public.

"Li Mi will be transferred to the Jing'an Army!" Li Zedao: "All along, the Jing'an Army also needs to be purged. Cao Zhang: Didn't you always want to quit the Supervisory Committee? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister still wants to devote himself to the work of the Yixing Society." Cao Zhang nodded.

"So be it!" Li Zedao: "Wu Jin presided over the Supervision Committee as vice chairman, and Li Mi served as the general of the Jing'an Army. After Ren Xiaonian comes back, he will first put it in the staff department under the Military Committee! ”
