Chapter 391: The Battle of the Apennines (11)

"Have there been any recent changes in the troops?" Supreme Command, in Zhang Cheng's office. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info When Zhang Cheng's secretary brought tea and closed the door and left, Zhang Cheng, who was sitting on the sofa, directly asked about the current situation of the imperial capital garrison on the edge of the road.

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at Wang Yan, who was drinking tea without saying a word, and secretly thought in his heart, "With Wang Yan and Xiao Hongbao here, what can I hide from your eyes?" This is still used to ask me? However, he could only think about this kind of thing in his stomach, but he said, "There have been people from all sides who have been in constant contact with the garrison before. From ordinary soldiers to officers of all ranks. After all, most of the officers and soldiers of the imperial capital garrison are locals, and the frequency has increased significantly in recent times. ”

"How's the water in the Imperial Capital Garrison?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and asked out loud.

"It's deep." Lu Zhiyuan replied, "But it's still under control." ”

"So there's something out of your control?" Zhang Cheng's words made Lu Zhiyuan's face blush slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." Some of the troops were very well infiltrated. But it's still under control. They can't make any waves. ”

"Did you know that three of your important assistants have been rebelled?" Zhang Cheng's words exploded in the ears of the edge of the road like thunder. He stood up suddenly, "How is it possible?!" They're all colleagues who have fought with me on the battlefield, how could they.."

Feeling Zhang Cheng's calm gaze, Lu Zhiyuan's voice gradually became quieter. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Wang Yan who was sitting beside him, and he knew that this intelligence leader must know what was going on.

"Ahem." Feeling Lu Zhiyuan's gaze, Wang Yan raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, and pulled Lu Zhiyuan's hand to let him sit back on the sofa. smiled and said, "Originally, Xiao Hongbao should have told you about this matter, but he has something to deal with now and can't get out of it." So let me inform you. ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhiyuan pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded vigorously, staring at Wang Yan with blazing eyes.

"There are two deputy commanders of the Imperial Capital Garrison Military Region, one is an old man in charge of logistics, who has been sitting in this position for ten years. No matter who is in power, he only supports those who are in power, and he doesn't need to say more. Wang Yan looked at the edge of the road and said softly, "The other one is the assistant you brought back from the front line, He Yousan." ”

Wang Yan raised his hand to stop Lu Zhiyuan, who wanted to speak, "I know you want to say that he is loyal, but please listen to me." ”

After a pause, Wang Yan continued, "People always change, and there are many reasons. As long as you want to say it, you can find many reasons. What ideals, what future, what family members are coerced, what resists the temptation of sugar-coated shells, what is framed by others, and so on. These processes are no longer important. The important thing is that He Yousan has betrayed the chief, and he has also written a blood book. ”

“..” Lu Zhiyuan suddenly felt cold in his heart, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart. But not to mourn for yourself, but for He Yousan and those who are involved in this matter.

Don't all these people know what intelligence work is? Even such an extremely confidential thing as writing a blood book has been learned by the opponent, what secrets do these people have to speak of? Thinking about doing such a big thing when everything is exposed is simply a joke with your life.

In fact, most of the people involved in this matter are some high-class people who were born with golden keys in their mouths. Although they all have received elite education, they also have a wide range of knowledge. But there is basically no experience in such a thing as rebellion. Moreover, although these people have bought many people in the army, they themselves are not proficient in military affairs, especially those who are engaged in conflict operations.

These people who are used to enjoying their lives come together because they want to do great things because of the same goal. When it comes to how to distribute the benefits after the deed, how to divide the sphere of influence, and how to enhance the strength of themselves and their families, they are all veterans. But when it comes to specific military operations, these people are all blinded.

In desperation, they can only put their hopes on professionals.

The current Zhang Cheng is not the Zhang Cheng of the turbulent period of the imperial capital. With a nimble hand and an almost inexhaustible resource, coupled with one constant win after another. The current Zhang Cheng has a strong energy, whether it is overt or secret. What's more, his prestige is very high, and basically people who still want to live a good life are not willing to provoke him.

Of course, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. With so many people in the Ming Dynasty, there will naturally be no shortage of careerists. When the rebels recruited, many people threw themselves into their arms. However, the abilities of these people are naturally far from being comparable to those under Zhang Cheng.

After all, one is in the name of the country, has a huge amount of resources, and it is still standing on the face of fame. The other one is just a rat hiding in the shadows. The magnitude of the gap between the two sides can be seen clearly only from the intelligence side.

Zhang Cheng is basically familiar with the situation of the rebel forces, and many people are even willing to take the initiative to act as double agents for Zhang Cheng. After all, Zhang Cheng is a person who stands in the sun and stands at the front desk. And the rebel forces want to know Zhang Cheng's information, and that is really what Zhang Cheng wants them to know.

In this case, Xiao Hongbao and Wang Yan's work is naturally very good.

"In addition to He Yousan, there are some people around you who have been encouraged for various reasons." Wang Yan said softly: "Telling you now is to let you prepare in advance." Don't get into unnecessary trouble. ”

"Now that you already know about them, why don't you take the initiative and take them all?" After a moment of silence, Lu Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at Zhang Cheng, who was sitting opposite and drinking tea leisurely, "What are you waiting for?" ”

There was a touch of irrepressible grief and indignation in Lu Zhiyuan's words. Seeing his colleagues who fought bravely on the battlefield in the past fall for various reasons, his mood was naturally extremely sad. In the heart of the edge of the road, a soldier can fall on the battlefield, but he should not fall in such a place. Zhang Cheng was dissatisfied with Zhang Cheng's refusal to launch when he had completely mastered the situation, but he was dissatisfied with watching one after another men who were originally iron-clad on the battlefield fall into a desperate situation.

"Naturally, there are many reasons for this." Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head, "You are a good hand at fighting, and you are far worse politically." There is no need to feel sorry or feel sorry for those people. The road is chosen by oneself, and naturally it is necessary to bear the corresponding responsibilities and consequences. Just do your own thing, and don't pay too much attention to other things. ”

After a pause, Zhang Cheng continued, "After this incident, I will arrange for you to go to the front again." Don't be in a hurry now, it's almost time. ”

Zhang Cheng took a sip of the teacup, and then gestured to Wang Yan with his eyes.

Wang Yan nodded slightly, half-turned to look at the edge of the road, and said loudly, "Those people plan to attack you when they launch the operation, and then your deputy will take over from you to command the imperial capital garrison." Because they had already mobilized a large force in the Imperial Capital garrison, the commander decided to adjust the Imperial Capital garrison. ”

Although Zhang Cheng is ready to carry out a strategy to lure the snake out of the hole to wipe out all the lurking opponents. But he wasn't stupid enough to really let things out of his control.

As more and more imperial garrison troops were instigated by sugar-coated shells, it was inevitable that Zhang Cheng would adjust the imperial capital garrison. Doing so will also irritate the lurkers, forcing them to act as quickly as possible without being prepared. In fact, Zhang Cheng just needs a righteous name.

As for why there were people in the imperial capital garrison, except that most of the garrison troops were locals. Under the material bombardment of the rebels in the name of the royal family, plus countless money, beautiful women, etc., it is natural that some people who still want to be better despite their high incomes are instigated. After all, the actual interests and the nominal righteousness are all there.

The imperial capital garrison was first born from the Beijing camp hundreds of years ago. From the day it was established, the Beijing battalion was composed of the most elite troops carefully selected from all over the country. In almost every battle, the best performing troops were transferred to the camp after the war.

These troops came to the imperial capital to garrison, and those who had family members naturally wanted to bring their family members over. Those who do not have family members are treated very well in Beijing, and it is easier for them to marry and have children locally. Over time, most of the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp became locals. All kinds of kinship and intricate relationships are easy to take advantage of.

After the Saga Foundation seized the state power from the hands of the imperial family, the Beijing camp with obvious royal colors was also changed to the imperial capital garrison. The tradition of sending elite troops from all over the country still exists. It's just that it's no longer the royal family who is loyal.

Unlike the royal family, which has a clear leader, the Saga consortium is a combination of multiple forces. It is both a cooperation and an adversary. No faction would want an army to remain loyal to a certain person, a family, or a faction. Because then the vast majority of people will not be able to sleep at night.

In this case, after fierce confrontations, quarrels and compromises, the Maison consortium. In the end, the army is positioned as the army of the country, and it is the country that is loyal to it. In the eyes of the Maison consortium, this is just a way to change the court. After all, the first assistant who holds the power of the state on the surface is all agents pushed out by the family consortium.

It's just that no one expected that with the progress of the times and the development of science and technology. When agents no longer follow the orders of the Maison Foundation, they lose influence over the vital military. This was the case until the time when Zhang Cheng was in power.

In order to ensure the smooth running of the operation, but also to reduce the impact as much as possible. Zhang Cheng's adjustment of the garrison of the imperial capital has become imperative. (To be continued.) )
