490 General trend
"It's not your fault, it's already good to do this." Lian Zining waved his hand and said: "You are cautious enough, and you do things properly, I don't need to say it, this time it is very beautiful!" I'll tell you four things, one of them, Fang Shounian, this person is very important, he must be guarded well, no mistakes can be made, he is locked in your prison, and no contact is allowed with anyone. Of course, eat and drink well and live well, don't abuse him, hang him for a few days, and when the matter here is over, I will go to see him in person. β
"The second thing is to keep it secret, attacking Jinyiwei, this is a great crime! Our Wu Yi Army, after all, the establishment time is still short, and the people's hearts may not be the same, don't be busy talking, your loyalty, and even the loyalty of the entire MI6, I know it. But other people don't necessarily, if they really let them know such a big thing, I'm afraid they have to have the same mind in their hearts. Therefore, this matter is absolutely not allowed to let anyone know, only to the outside world, the king of Maqiao Town, you are a spy of the Jurchens, these days have been for the Jurchen to find out the news, and you know about it, so you will come to the door and directly exterminate it. β
Even what Zining said, Li Tie memorized them one by one.
"Third." When Lian Zining said this, he was sluggish for a moment, he twisted his brows, and said: "I ordered your subordinates to improve the supervision of our Wu Yijun officers in the first game, observe their words and deeds, and their daily actions, and organize them into documents and bring them here, let me see them one by one." Look at them, whether they are more towards our Wu Yijun or more towards the imperial court! The so-called seeing the subtleties is like this. β
Li Tie was shocked, he could naturally hear what the adult's actions meant, which not only meant that the adult had begun to prepare for a face-to-face with the imperial court, but also showed that an unprecedented purge in the history of the Wuyi Army seemed to be coming.
Seeing his expression, Lian Zining smiled slightly: "You think too much." This official is not comparable to Emperor Taizu's ambition and iron-blooded methods, and this official will never attack the brothers of life and death who follow him, this is this. You can rest assured. All you have to do is keep an eye on it! β
"Remember, remember!" Lian Zining stared at Li Tie word by word and said: "What you have to do is to stare, except for staring, you are not allowed to do anything!" Overseer is listening. Instead of executing, it is not a bully, nor is it a terror in the world, you must restrain your subordinates, don't do anything wrong, don't turn MI6 into the brocade guard of our Wuyi Army! Otherwise, this official will be ruthless! β
Li Tie took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice: "Mark." Clear. After going down, I will do it properly. β
Lian Zining snorted, and then said, "Also, the fourth thing." After you go down, arrange people to search the area we can control, and screen and investigate. I always have a feeling that Jinyiwei is not so easy to be defeated, their hidden power in the people is very deep, some small people and traders, who have lived and operated here for decades, look nothing unusual, maybe they are also Jinyiwei's secret spies. Some Jinyi guards, even Emperor Taizu, left the capital, and stayed in a certain place for several generations or more than ten generations, in addition to themselves, even the Jinyi guards commander rummaged through the classics to know that they were Jinyi Wei secret agents! This kind of heritage. It's not something we can compare, but it's something we can't prevent! β
However, he remembered some information he had seen in his previous life, the huge power of Jinyiwei was a well-deserved number one organization in the Ming Dynasty, the largest intelligence organization in the history of the dynasty, and the strength it showed was only the tip of the iceberg. Hidden underneath is truly immeasurable!
Li Tie was shocked when he heard this, where was this information accessible to him? β¦,
But the people in Wu Yi's army are really convinced of Lian Zining's words to the extent that they are almost superstitious, because of Lian Zining's huge prestige, in their hearts, Lian Zining will never be wrong, what he says and does is always right.
He stopped his waist and said solemnly: "My lord, please rest assured, after the mark is returned, I will immediately send more people to do this carefully, and I will definitely not deal with it." Just ......"
Lian Zining frowned and said, "Just what?" β
Li Tie was a little embarrassed: "It's just that the first bureau is internal, supervising hundreds of officials and soldiers, and the second bureau is infiltrating from all sides, and many have infiltrated into the territory of General Asujiang, the territory of General Liaobei, the territory of General Jianzhou, and North Korea. This operation is a big matter, and the people who are outside have been transferred back one after another, and the situation of business in various places has also stagnated, so if you follow what you just said, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it. β
"Oh, that's what happened!" Lian Zining smiled, waved his hand and said: "I was just about to talk about this, Cheng, I will give you another thousand places, and allow you to select another thousand loyal soldiers from the elite soldiers of each guard to absorb them." It just so happens that the next move will also require the vigorous contribution of your MI6. β
Li Tie hurriedly thanked him.
Lian Zining leaned back on the Taishi chair and didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the study was a little stagnant.
Li Tie pondered for a moment, and said cautiously: "My lord, what else is there about Datong?" β
"Hmm, Bao Datong!" Lian Zining seemed to have forgotten about this matter, thought about it, and said lightly: "Tell Wang Dachun the truth, and don't reveal it to others." In the process of the MI6 eradication, the logistics headquarters in Maqiao Town actively cooperated with the Qianhu Office, and the contribution was indispensable. The order went down, Bao Datong's family was given a thousand taels of silver, 100 acres of land, and he should have been posthumously given his title, but there was a Jurchen spy on the side of his couch and he did not notice it for many years. Go ahead, go and explain to Shi Dazhu, and ask him to post a notice and distribute it to the whole army. β
Li Tie was secretly grateful in his heart, Lian Zining has always been lenient in treating his subordinates, but this time's treatment of Bao Datong, on paper, is quite mean, and it is very inconsistent with the past. And Bao Datong handled it like this, even if some people were dissatisfied, they would never dare to be dissatisfied with Lian Zining, so that with Bao Datong's death, MI6 would have cleared itself up.
You know, if those combat troops know that a thousand households were forced to die by MI6, the first thing they will see is not the cause, but what this incident represents. When the time comes. Inevitably, some more incidents will arise.
Now, the adults have taken all the blame, and MI6 is safe.
Speaking of this stubble, Lian Zining suddenly remembered that Wu Yijun does not have a special propaganda agency now. It has always been Shi Dazhu's custody, and he is responsible for such things.
After explaining this, Li Tie had nothing to say, so he took his own leave and went down to prepare.
Walking out of the study, Li Tie let out a long sigh of relief. is also secretly relieved, he was still thinking about whether the adults would have some dissatisfaction with MI6 because of this incident, but he didn't expect that the adults' support for MI6 would be even greater.
This is a clear signal that the establishment is allowed to be expanded.
The mood is relaxed. Then he was thinking about other things, and he suddenly thought of the 'next big action' that the adults had just said. What is the big operation?
Looking through the wooden lattice window lattice, looking at the already bright sky outside the window, Lian Zining sighed faintly. β¦,
As a modern person who is accustomed to seeing the rise and fall of countless organizations, he knows very well that with the continuous growth of an organization, the continuous increase in personnel, and the continuous improvement of the bureaucratic system. As it exists for longer and longer, it will inevitably become corrupt, bureaucratic, and corrupt, and more problems will emerge one by one.
Historically, these cases are endless. When any dynasty was first established, it would be relatively politically clear, the overall quality of officials was relatively high, and the emperor was more energetic, and the old system, the old stereotypes and bad habits have been broken, and the new stereotypes and bad habits have not yet had time to be established, so these factors are combined, often each dynasty has just been established in the early stage, which is a period of rapid development.
For example, the rule of Wenjing in the former Han Dynasty, the prosperity of Guangwu in the Later Han Dynasty, the prosperity of the Emperor in the Sui Dynasty, and the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty are the rule of Renxuan of the Ming Dynasty.
And after this period passed, it was gradually decayed, ossified, conservative, and the dynasty began to decline, of course, due to the huge inertia of the entire dynasty's progress, this period of decay is also of different lengths, the short is like the great cause of Emperor Yang of Sui for 14 years, and the long one is like the Ming Dynasty, which can be dragged from Jiajing to Chongzhen before it was destroyed in the hands of Li Zicheng.
As big as a country, as small as a beggar's nest, this law is inevitable. With privilege, with temptation, with the ability to get this temptation, and even with a group of people who specifically want to get them into play, it is only natural that this situation will occur.
Lian Zining also knows very well that Wu Yijun has been established for two years, and it is normal for this kind of sign to appear. In fact, in his opinion, Wu Yijun was already pure enough, and if it was any other organization, he would definitely not know what it would look like.
After all, this is human nature, and any system, any supervision, will have loopholes, and it is not omnipotent. Lian Zining has never raised himself to the point where he can establish a Datong society and completely avoid these things, all he can do is to do his best to suppress this kind of thing as low as possible and as little as possible.
Bao Datong's case was a wake-up call for him.
It's time to do something.
The preparations that Li Tie made just now are just one of them, if you want to keep the team pure and clear, a perfect and large and detailed supervision system is absolutely indispensable, and there is no doubt that MI6 is the most powerful means of supervision in Lian Zining's hands.
The other is a relatively perfect system. It is true that all systems will be rigid, they will become sluggish, old-fashioned and dogmatic, and there will be a series of loopholes that will be discovered, but all Lian Zining can do now is to do his best.
It's a big deal, when one system doesn't work, change to another.
He shook his head, put aside the troubles in his heart, took a letter from the drawer, unfolded it, and read it carefully.
This letter is a letter from Russia asking for help, which was transferred to Zhenyuan Mansion through Baiying Gorge, and the letter was delivered to the General's Mansion as soon as possible, Amber knew the importance of this information, so all the letters and documents submitted during Lian Zining's absence were placed in a conspicuous position on the desk, so that Lian Zining could see them for the first time. She didn't even look at the contents of the letter, she was a very smart woman, and she knew what she had to meddle in. In fact, perhaps it is Lian Zining's luck that all his women so far have the ability and opportunity to meddle in internal affairs. But none of them were interested in it.
This is Zakhrev's letter asking for help, and the content of it surprised Lian Zining very much, which mentions the plight of the Russian army and the terrible Wanyan Yeping. It also emphasized the hope that Lian Zining would send troops to rescue as soon as possible. β¦,
He had already read it cursory yesterday, but he didn't have any idea.
The dilemma encountered by the Russian army in front of the Jurchens had long been expected by Lian Zining. This era, the era of the intersection of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, if placed in the military history of the world, is exactly a connecting point, before this era. On the vast continent of the Eurasian continent, the armies of the East have taken advantage of the armies of the West and have the upper hand.
In that year, Emperor Wu waved his north finger, hundreds of thousands of Han troops swept the Huns, Huo Quai, sealed the wolf Juxu, and Wei Qing won successive battles, and finally defeated the Huns, lost their armor. The wolf rushed to the ground, and even the territory left by the ancestors was lost. The Huns, who were beaten by Wei Qinghuo's illness and couldn't get along in the east, went all the way to the west, but the result was a big defeat and loss for the whole of Europe. As a result, the Eastern Roman Empire was completely wiped out, and countless European civilizations would fall under the hands of these barbarian tribes in their mouths.
The defeated generals of these Han Chinese men called the Xiongnu army 'God's whip' in horror, which shows how terrifying these Huns are in their minds.
The Mongolian expedition to the west more than 200 years ago is the most typical case of the eastern military far superior to the west, and it is also the most brilliant brilliance, the Mongolian cavalry under Genghis Khan completely showed the strength of the eastern army to the whole of Europe, so that the entire Western world trembled and lost its voice!
After the establishment of the Mongol state. There were three expeditions to the west, the first of which Genghis Khan personally led to the Caspian Sea, which had little to do with Europe, but Rao was like this, and it was also a big defeat and loss to the princes of Eastern Europe who belonged to the European category, and then the two western expeditions. It is to make the whole of Europe tremble and even despair!
In the second westward expedition, the Mongol army under the leadership of Batu was like a bamboo, and the front of the army was directed to the Danube River, under the city of Vienna, with 120,000 Mongols in two months, the 600,000 allied troops of European countries were wiped out, and the Danube River water killed turned red.
Kipchak, Russia, Hungary, Poland and other countries became vassal states of the Kipchak Khanate.
The Third Western Expedition of HΓΌlegΓΌ completely collapsed the ruling order in southern Europe and on the plains of Syria, Egypt, and Mesopotamia, and was incorporated into the rule of the Ilkhanate.
These three expeditions to the west made the whole of Europe tremble, and Genghis Khan and his descendants were called conquerors.
And this is the pinnacle of the Eastern Army, and it is also the greatest glory of the Eastern Army for the West, and of course, the last.
After that, due to the widespread use of muskets and artillery in European armies, and the introduction of spears, spears, halberds, and halberds phalanx battle arrays, its combat effectiveness increased greatly, and the Ming Dynasty from the Yongle Emperor, due to the decay and collapse of the guard system, the combat effectiveness of the army is deteriorating.
After this convergence point, the European army became stronger and stronger, while the eastern one became weaker and weaker.
The weakest to the extreme, of course, was the last years of the Braided Dynasty, which was bombarded by European artillery.
And now, it is a turning point, and on the whole, the Western armies have not yet risen, and the Eastern armies have not yet declined.
And there is no doubt that before the appearance of the Wu Yi Army, the strongest army in the entire East was the Jurchen Iron Cavalry! And in Europe in this era, except for the Cossacks, the Russians are definitely not the top in terms of other armies, so it is natural to be deflated in front of the Jurchen iron cavalry.
Not to mention, the strategies and tactics handed down by the ancestors of the East for thousands of years are enough to be hundreds of years ahead of Europe! There is no doubt about this, and the Europeans are lagging behind in this area, even in the twenty-first century, which cannot catch up.
When it comes to playing, the dynasty is the best in the world, and the backwardness in this regard is a hard injury. β¦,
Even if Wu Yijun is strong now, Lian Zining does not dare to shake the Jurchen kidnapping horse in the wilderness, maybe he dares, but he is reluctant to suffer that huge loss.
Even the Russians' pleas for help were expected by him.
The only thing that Lian Zining didn't expect was Wanyan Yeping.
One is through Yang Kai, a businessman in Jinyang, and in addition, he has deliberately collected news from the Jurchens before, such as Wanyan Chen Monk and other Jurchen upper, he is no stranger, and the information also mentions this Wanyan Chen's favorite daughter, but Lian Zining didn't take it to heart at all.
This kind of disregard is more due to a lack of attention to women, after all, there have been many famous generals throughout the ages, but there are too few female famous generals, and the reality is not a Qing court drama, they play more of an accessory role.
But I didn't expect that this woman was so strong and powerful, although Zakhrev was secretive in his heart and said vaguely, Lian Zining could still see that the troops in Wanyan Yeping's hands were far away
Originally, in Lian Zining's plan, he was prepared not to intervene in the war between the Russian Empire and the Jurchens for the time being.
First, he was very self-aware, knowing that the territory he occupied was too big, far beyond his effective control. And what makes people feel even more helpless is that in this vast area, there are only alien races living in a large number but too insignificant compared to the whole area, and the absence of people means that no government can be established, no effective control institutions can be established, and their own rule cannot be consolidated.
Lian Zining knows very well that if you can't take it into your pocket, it's not your own, and this kind of reign is very short-lived. If you think about the Mongol Empire at the beginning, it is clear that the vast land of 30 million square kilometers has not fallen apart in a few decades?
Therefore, he wanted to consolidate his rule for a while, and adopted a series of measures to make the newly occupied Haixi Jurchen lands firmly marked with a hyphenated label. For such a period of time, it is naturally not easy to make a big move. This is also the purpose of his crazy expansion of the tenth guard and sending the tenth guard to the White Eagle Gorge, anyway, the tenth guard is a Jurchen, he is not distressed when he dies, and the tenth guard is like an outlier in the Wu Yi army, whether it is dead or alive, strong or weak, it has no impact on the Wu Yi army as a whole.
The second reason is the current strength comparison in the Northeast.
Jurchen is an old and powerful brand, Wu Yijun has sprung up, and Russia is an outsider. The current situation is that the Wu Yi Army has risen rapidly, and its strength has grown sharply, but because it has risen too fast, the foundation is not so stable, and the Jurchen is after all the hegemon of this land for decades, although it has been cut off one-third of the land population, and now it is entangled by the Russian Empire, but its military strength and war potential are not comparable to the Wu Yi Army, which is much stronger. And Russia's strength in this land is about the same as that of the Wu Yi Army, or in other words, it is a little weaker than the Wu Yi Army.
Under such a comparison of strength, Lian Zining naturally had to wait for Russia and Jurchen to consume enough, and the strength of both sides was weak enough, and then jump out to pick up the bargain.
This strategy was already formulated by Lian Zining when he signed the agreement with Zakhrev, in fact, Zakhrev and his thoughts are the same, both of them have the intention of using each other, and they have no intention of fulfilling the contract at all. It's just that Lian Zining solved the Haixi Jurchen with lightning speed, so he walked in front, and now the Russian army is still fighting with Wanyan Yeping, it is because of such a time difference that Wu Yijun has completely occupied the initiative, it can be said that it can be attacked, retreated and operated, and steadily reaped huge benefits.
So Lian Zining didn't want to move now.
But at this time, I found that this letter asking for help was actually an opportunity for me. Of course, the main thing is that he has a better idea in mind.
He took out another letter from the drawer, but this letter was written by Shulhaqi, who had penetrated into the Jurchen Khan's court, and was transferred to Zhenyuan Mansion through the White Eagle Gorge with carrier pigeons.
