Chapter 751: Oversight Mechanism
Shang Kexi said: "Otherwise, otherwise, in the eyes of the 'God of War' soldiers, we are traitors and deserters, and the Great Qing Kingdom is a thief. ”
The former generals of Dongjiang Town present couldn't help but think of the tragic incident of Li Yingyuan, Chen Guangfu and others being arrested by the "God of War" and sent to Beijing after being sent to Beijing, and the hairs on their backs stood on their backs.
Shang Keyi laughed and stood up and said: "Brothers, don't think too much, tonight I invite everyone to drink and have fun, tomorrow I will take dozens of soldiers to the sea to go to Huangjiawan Island for a walk, if you don't come back, tonight's meal will be considered goodbye." ”
Kong Youde immediately said: "I must have a good drink with Brother Keyi at night, don't say discouraged words, 'Nanming' will not kill people indiscriminately, and there is no danger for my brother to go." ”
Shang Keyi didn't care if he was in danger or not, he had had enough of his traitorous career, and wanted to take this opportunity to surrender to King Nan, even if he couldn't be killed, he would admit it.
He said perfunctorily: "My own brothers, someone must come forward at this time, if you can make the Qing Dynasty and 'Nanming' sign a brotherhood alliance, it is worth taking some risks." ”
Shang Kexi felt strange when he saw his brother's insistence on coming forward, because in the past, Shang Keyi was completely like a fool and waiting for death, and he never took the initiative to ask for things.
Although he was a little worried about his safety, he decided not to speak without knowing his brother's purpose.
The next day, a sentinel boat hidden on the shore was pushed into the water by 100 soldiers.
In the past, there were many warships and cargo ships in Dongjiang Town, and there were very few surviving sea ships after they were chased and beaten by the "Chinese Navy" after surrendering to the Manchu Dynasty.
Kong Youde found that the sea was too unsafe, so he simply dragged a few good ships ashore to hide, and some sailors regularly went to tung oil for maintenance, and now the ship is in good condition.
A dozen sailors were selected from thousands of people, and there was no choice in terms of skill or physical strength.
The proportion of soldiers in Dongjiang Town who can sail and sail is very high, which is not unrelated to the fact that most of their base camps are islands.
The old generals of Dongjiang Town came to the dock to send Shang Keyi off, and Shang Kexi took his brother's hand and told him that his brother must not engage in battle with the "Huaxia Navy", and found that people had the intention of using force and fled quickly.
Shang Keyi, who had already planned in his heart, asked the brothers to wait for good news, and took more than 30 personal soldiers to sail south to Huangjiawan Island.
Less than five nautical miles from the sea, a "Nanming" sentinel horse ship appeared on the sea.
The sentry horse, which only had eleven people, saw the sentry ship that Shang Keyi was riding and immediately put on a combat mode, and the muzzle of the four-pounder gun in the bow of the ship was aimed at Shang Keyi, who was standing in the bow, approaching at full speed, and there was a big shot to result in the opponent's posture.
Shang Keyi had already prepared, he took out the white flag and waved it, and shouted in his mouth: "Brother Ming Army, this official is Shang Keyi, the old general of Phi Dao, and he has important military information to ask to see your main general." ”
Fortunately, the captain of the sentry horse ship was not reckless, and when he saw the other side waving the white flag, he immediately stopped the gunner from firing the bow gun.
When the two ships approached an arrow away, the captain shouted: "Listen, the general of the coming ship, drop the sail and wait in place, don't move without trespassing, we will come back in a moment." ”
Shang Keyi obediently obeyed the order and ordered his men to drop the sails, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, he was also furious when he saw the black cannon muzzle facing him, worried that the other party would shoot the cannon first and then speak.
After hearing their own shouts, the sentry horse ship of the "Huaxia Navy" turned around and left, so it can be seen that they should have gone back to ask their superiors or contact nearby warships to come and monitor.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the sentinel boat returned, followed by two sentinel boats and a straw skimming boat.
An hour and a half later, Shang Keyi's sentinel ship was piloted into the port of Huangjiawan Island.
At the beginning of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Sheng decided to send troops to Liaodong to completely solve the problem of Jiannu, and the mobilization of thousands of troops and horses could not be achieved overnight, but the intelligence collection must be completed in advance.
After more than ten years of development, the military intelligence department has been expanded many times to become huge, Huang Sheng personally served as the top leader, and there were five deputy directors, namely Zhang Youlu, Bian Zhiming, He Xiang, Liu Guozheng, and Li Xihan.
There are more than 30 military intelligence offices under it, including all the provinces of the "Southern Ming" and the Ming Dynasty, and the farthest has gone to Europe, North and South America.
The Military Intelligence Department has always paid unremitting attention to its espionage work, not only targeting foreign countries or hostile forces, but also collecting intelligence at home countries, and sparing no effort in supervising civilian and military officers within the system.
The specific work is to investigate whether the chief and the chief of the department are fair, because Huang Sheng believes that the merits of the most junior officials are directly related to whether the government decree can be issued from the top.
Ordinary people often don't see officials above the county magistrate, and they only think that the officials who often appear in front of them, such as the chief of security, the chief of the first class, and the chief of the lieutenant, represent the government.
Therefore, the "Nanming" government must be down-to-earth, put an end to the protection of officials and officials, resulting in the common people having nowhere to redress, and even more so to nip the behavior of the common people in the bud.
There is no separation between the agents of the Military Intelligence Department and the soldiers of the "Guards Battalion," and the outstanding fighters from the common people will of course learn the real public opinion when they go to the fields and mingle with the peasants, and the advantages and disadvantages of the officials at the grassroots level will of course be revealed to the world.
If under the rule of a county, there are many cases of fraud in the pavilion chief, the lieutenant chief, and the head of the first county, it fully shows that the county magistrate here is incompetent.
As for whether the county magistrate's ability is limited, or he is unwilling to work hard, or whether his involvement in private fraud needs to be further investigated, the agents of the Military Intelligence Department have a direction for the officials who have been screened and fed back to continue to dig deeper according to their priorities.
In the end, the military intelligence department of the officials under investigation will give a conclusion, and those who violate the law will be arrested and sentenced by the law office, those who refuse to do things will be dismissed and returned to their hometowns, and those who have limited ability will of course be given the punishment ......of demotion.
The proportion of county magistrates who have been dealt with in a state capital is high, and of course the governor and the prefect will not escape the blame, and their supervision of the officials under their rule should be superfluous, of course, they are not competent, and it is impossible to be promoted, so wait for demotion.
Due to the supervision mechanism of the Military Intelligence Department, the state governments did not dare to slack off, and when the self-inspection was always in progress, the power of supervision was really locked in the cage of the system, which is not only the love of the people, but also the protection of officials.
Lest the officials be uneasy without supervision, and the greedy hand will be stretched longer and longer, and finally the East Window incident will end up in a different place.
Inspectors must always make unremitting efforts to prevent problems before they occur, which is responsible to all officials and to the state, and the anti-corruption campaign does not rely on the movement and the legal system to keep the alarm bell ringing.
The continuous improvement of the "Nanming" supervision system has brought tremendous benefits, and capable good officials will not be buried, mediocre officials who have mixed their lives can no longer be mixed, and corrupt officials have of course been reformed through labor in mining areas.
A relatively fair social atmosphere has slowly taken shape, and the common people are no longer silent lambs, and their enthusiasm for participating in and discussing politics is high.
