Chapter 195: Quartet Express
Huang Han said with a smile: "We are just laying out our own intelligence network, and we have no intention of opposing the imperial court."
In order to prevent the Red Flag Army from being plotted by villains, we strive to prevent problems before they happen.
You are not fighting alone, you belong to the collective of the Red Banner Army, don't have any worries, let go of your hands and feet to do things, and if you get into trouble, you will be carried by the Red Banner Army. ”
Seeing that the head of the family said this, and the love was overflowing, Huang Sifang was so excited that he stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will strive to gain a foothold in Beijing in the shortest possible time, and I will be careful not to make it difficult for adults." ”
Huang Han said: "Our secret soldiers are called the Red Flag Guards, referred to as the Flag Guards, and the central idea of the entire Flag Guards is that they can do anything for the collective interests of the Red Flag Army.
When necessary, assassination may be used to eliminate Ming civilian officials and military generals who are hostile to the Red Banner Army, without considering his political achievements and character. ”
Huang Sifang understood the meaning of Huang Han's words, no matter whether the other party is a good person in a broad sense, as long as it is against the "Red Flag Army", he can kill anyone.
He did not hesitate to say: "I understand that the meaning of the existence of the Red Flag Guards is that the Red Banner Army can bear the people of the world, and the people of the world are not allowed to bear me, and all those who are hostile to the Red Flag Army are the enemies of the Flag Guard." ”
Unexpectedly, Huang Sifang was born with the potential of a spy leader, Huang Han said in an approving tone: "Very good, let's talk about your opinion." ”
"There is no right or wrong in the eyes of the lowly office, as long as the interests of the Red Flag Army are all killable people, the lowly duty has killed more than ten or twenty people with his own hands, although they are all Houjin Army, it can be regarded as murderous, if someone does not open their eyes, the lowly will definitely assassinate the Red Terror in Beijing."
I'm afraid this will be too much, Huang Han reminded with a serious face: "Killing people is the worst means and it is a last resort, remember, as long as you are ready to kill the imperial court officials, you must write a reason and get my approval and authorization before the Red Flag Guards can carry it out, and those who act without permission will die." ”
Huang Sifang heard the chill from Huang Han's tone, knew the bottom line of the family master, and once again stood up and said loudly: "Obey orders!" ”
Huang Han thought for a while and said: "The Red Flag Guards are lurking as businessmen, they can't waste this identity, they need to fake it, do it well, do the business in their hands well, and strive to become bigger and stronger. ”
"Yes! The lowly position also thinks the same, intelligence collection will not be single, the financial route of the monitored family will also be investigated, how they do business and how to make a lot of money, our people will understand it in secret, and with a good business, of course the flag guard will do it himself. ”
"Your development idea is good, so let's do it, you will start preparing a trading house called Sifang Express tomorrow, register a tooth shop for foreign transactions in Yongping Mansion, and allocate 300 carriages and 600 coachmen to you first.
You can also look for people to be flag guards among the coachmen, or you can look for some women to join, and in short, the flag guards are eclectic. ”
"I understand that intelligence gathering will contact all kinds of people, so the composition of the flag guard should also be everyone."
The "Red Banner Army" repeatedly attacked the transport team of the Houjin Army and captured too many oxen, horses and carts, and Huang Han was ready to develop the transportation industry with great fanfare, because there were too many benefits of being able to transport efficiently in this era.
In the future, it is inevitable to fight on the inner front, and the opponent is actually a group of mobs who put down their hoes and pick up knives and guns, except for those who have ulterior motives such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, etc., most of the rest of the people are forced to live before they take risks.
Less than one-tenth of the components of the rogue are bandits with a lot of blood debts, and they are Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, and Lao Huihui, who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
The remaining more than ninety percent were originally simple peasants, and some of them were forced to starve to death by the old wealth of the Ming landlords and natural disasters.
There are also the vast majority of those who were destroyed by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, these thieves, who destroyed their homes and took away their rations, and were coerced to the queue of the rogues, who had to kill officials and rebel in order to survive, and charged into battle for the rogues to be cannon fodder.
To solve the fundamental problem of the inexhaustible wildfires of the Liukou and the spring breeze blowing and regenerating, it is not only to kill the bones of those thieves one by one, but most importantly, to solve the problem of hunger.
It is impossible for the common people in the areas plagued by the plague to produce normally, and the grain production is reduced or even eliminated due to the continuous natural disasters, and even if the disaster is controllable for a year or two during the period, it will not help, because the more terrible military disasters will destroy everything.
When the "Red Flag Army" enters the interior to quell the rebellion, it must bring enough food and strive to relocate the common people whose hands are not stained with blood, so it is particularly important to make arrangements for the development of the transportation industry in advance.
Huang Han said to Huang Sifang: "Sifang Express is not famous, and it will not have many businesses as soon as it opens, it doesn't matter." You can send the coal from the coal washing plant to Beijing one trip at a time, and someone can buy it and sell it, and if there is no buyer, you can buy a yard to hoard it, and anyway, I will need to use a lot of coal at the end of the year. ”
Huang Sifang said: "Sifang Express, as the name suggests, should help employers transport goods to earn freight, this business is easy to do and simple, and it will go around all over the world all day long, which is indeed conducive to intelligence gathering." ”
"This is the case at the initial stage, but the freight rate of Sifang Express is higher than that of others, and it is necessary to form a monopoly as soon as possible."
Hanzi said with a smile: "Where will there be business if the freight is higher than others, is Brother Han ready to use power to suppress people and force them to buy and sell?" ”
Huang Han said with a smile: "No, but Sifang Express promises to all customers that if the goods carried are robbed by robbers or bandits, Sifang Express will compensate in full according to the registered value of the goods." ”
Huang Sifang, Yang Danian, and Song Pengfei are all smart people, and they immediately clapped their hands and said: "Good idea, in the name of the Red Banner Army, which bandit is afraid of dying slowly and dares to come to Tai Sui's head to break ground, which can ensure that the employer will not suffer losses due to the robbery, and the business will definitely prosper in the long run." ”
Huang Han was confident, and he said with a smile: "Nowadays, the land boundary is not peaceful, there are countless bandits and rogues who gather in the mountains and forests, and there are more and more places where the trade routes are cut off.
The transport team of the Sifang Express is different, the coachmen and the escorting knights are armed with ash pole spears and bows and arrows, and their combat effectiveness is a few points stronger than that of the guards. “
Yang Hanwei said: "Rao is like this, those coachmen all want to be transferred to the regular soldiers, and they are very hard when they participate in training in the army, and their combat effectiveness is probably much stronger than that of the guards." ”
