Intelligence and dark line matters, very few people know, and they are all secretly carried out, but its role is huge, every time the Zheng family army faces a battle, the role of intelligence is fully reflected, and sometimes even plays a decisive role.

Zheng Xunrui decided to formally establish the Intelligence Agency, which is directly under his own jurisdiction, that is to say, only he can directly interfere in the affairs of the Intelligence Agency, and the rest of the people cannot directly intervene, and the Intelligence Agency is still under the establishment of the Zheng Jiajun, which is set up for the purpose of fighting and killing, so that it is easy to explain to the imperial court, and as for the responsibilities of the Intelligence Agency, it naturally needs to be clarified.

The intelligence agencies of the Ming Dynasty are the most famous ones are Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but these two agencies are notorious, and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs have changed, and no one has a good impression of them.

However, the establishment of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the purpose of which is to consolidate the imperial power and suppress dissent, the intelligence role it plays, mainly to supervise the court officials and the people, belongs to the internal intelligence agencies, so although the power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is strong, almost infiltrated all parts of the Ming Dynasty, but they don't know anything about the external situation, for example, the intelligence of the Houjin Tartars and Liukou, they don't know at all.

Zheng Xunrui asked for the formal establishment of the intelligence agency, its role is much stronger than that of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the intelligence bureau is divided into three parts, the most important first is external intelligence, including Houjin Tartar, Liukou and even overseas intelligence, the second is for the imperial court and local related information, the third is for internal intelligence, including Huaibei, Penglai, Fuzhou and Shaanxi and other places of intelligence, the three pieces of intelligence combined, is the intelligence agency needs to detect the matter.

The personnel of the Intelligence Agency are mainly capable personnel from Zheng Jiajun's scouts, who are responsible for collecting and sorting out all kinds of information received, and conducting comprehensive inductions, and even putting forward corresponding analysis opinions. Everywhere, they are the source of information for the Intelligence Agency.

The Intelligence Agency has set up a special task force, and the responsibilities of the task force are very clear, and measures are taken in case of emergency. To protect the safety of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and Zheng Jiajun, the action team must receive Zheng Xunrui's order before they can act.

Zheng Xunrui knows very well that in any era, the Intelligence Agency cannot be an upright institution, and there are many secret things. Even secret transactions are done by the Intelligence Agency, and most of the things that the Intelligence Agency does are secrets, and some even become permanent secrets, and it is impossible to leak them.

Zheng Xunrui even understands that the formal establishment of the Intelligence Agency indicates that the contradictions and struggles between him and the emperor and the imperial court will enter a more intense situation.

Although it was clear that Xu Fojia was the head of the Intelligence Agency, Zheng Xunrui did not announce the news for the time being.

Caoyun Governor's Palace, study.

Zheng Jinhong's body has basically recovered. has begun to continue to do things, Xu Wanghua's face is slightly pale, which is also the result of overwork.

"I've already said the role of the intelligence agency that will be established soon, and I'd like to hear your opinions and suggestions."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua immediately spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that the establishment of the Intelligence Agency is necessary, in the past, Zheng Zongbing was directly under the jurisdiction of the dark line, there was no clear organization, and the distribution of the dark line was mainly in the capital. Now that the Intelligence Agency has been established, its responsibilities are divided into external, internal, and self-sufficient, so that it covers all places, and the subordinates believe that after the establishment of the Intelligence Agency. It can provide more and more accurate information to adults. ”

Zheng Jinhong didn't speak for the time being, and set up a separate intelligence agency, he didn't have any opinions, but the things that originally belonged to his direct jurisdiction were now separated, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Zheng Xunrui looked at Zheng Jinhong and Xu Wanghua. He spoke again.

"After the establishment of the Intelligence Bureau, I am directly responsible for the jurisdiction, you all know that the Jinyiwei and the East Factory of the Imperial Court, including the West Factory that has been abolished, can also be regarded as the intelligence agency of my Ming Dynasty, but their eyes are staring at the officials and the people, staring at the inside, and they don't know anything about the Houjin Tartars and Liukou, if you want me to say it politely, they are eagle dogs, and even to a certain extent, they are helping the emperor to eliminate dissidents."

"Wei Zhongxian once controlled the East Factory, the West Factory and Jinyiwei, and vigorously suppressed the officials who had opposing opinions in the court, I don't believe that this is completely Wei Zhongxian's personal intention, the first emperor can't know nothing, some I'm afraid that it is the first emperor's will, Wei Zhongxian is just helping to execute, every time I think of this, I keep telling myself that although the establishment of the intelligence agency is necessary, its authority must also be subject to necessary restrictions."

"No matter which dynasty or generation, once the emperor and the court are not at ease with the officials and people below, and set up all kinds of intelligence agencies to monitor the below, there will definitely be problems in this dynasty."

"The establishment of the intelligence bureau is mainly to collect and sort out intelligence, as well as large-scale development of the dark line, of course, this also includes the monitoring of Huaibei, Shaanxi and Fuzhou and other places, which is impossible to avoid, especially after the emperor and the court regard Zheng Jiajun as the biggest threat, such monitoring is even more necessary, I have long said that officials in Huaibei and other places, if they are loyal to the emperor and the court, I will not have any opinions, they can leave, clear their choice, but if they do some dirty things behind their backs, Then don't blame me for being unkind. ”

"The person in charge of the Intelligence Agency is Xu Fojia, considering his special status, I am directly in charge of the Intelligence Agency, and the Intelligence Agency as a whole is still under the establishment of the Zheng Jiajun, so that the emperor and the court have nothing to say."

"Although you do not have jurisdiction over the affairs of the Intelligence Agency, you must pay more attention to it on weekdays, and once there is any bad feedback on the Intelligence Agency, you must inform me as soon as possible, the role of the Intelligence Agency is huge, and the responsibilities are important, and it is precisely because the location of the Intelligence Agency is different, so there can be no or fewer problems."

"Jinyiwei and Dongchang are the lessons, the Intelligence Agency must not be able to develop in that direction, especially the action team under the Intelligence Agency, I would rather the action team do not have any tasks." ……

Zheng Xunrui talked a lot, but the focus was on emphasizing the role of the intelligence agency, what should be done, and what things must be paid attention to, Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong listened very carefully.

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, there was a little silence in the study.

Of course, Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong understand the importance of the Intelligence Agency, and it is precisely because the Intelligence Agency is so important that Zheng Xunrui will give a detailed explanation to the two of them, and anticipate many problems that may arise in advance.

Zheng Xunrui's current situation, both of them understand, it is a very delicate moment, at this time the intelligence agency is more critical, to investigate the external situation, so that Zheng Xunrui can make the right decision, and secretly investigate the internal officials and people, so that Zheng Xunrui can accurately grasp the situation of Zheng Jiajun and officials at all levels, in this process, what the intelligence agency does cannot be open and fair.

Xu Wanghua sighed slightly.

"My lord, some of the subordinates still have to say in advance, the subordinates are worried about one point, the current situation in Huaibei is very good, although there are some small changes in the government at all levels, but the overall is stable, the intelligence agency's internal investigation, this is necessary, but you can't make a big move because of some small things, so it is easy to cause panic psychological ......"

Xu Wanghua's reminder is very clear, during the Apocalypse, the plundering of Jinyiwei and the East Factory and the West Factory made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military dare not speak out, and kept the court in darkness.

Xu Wanghua's worries are actually reasonable, because the person in charge of the Intelligence Agency is Xu Fojia, Zheng Xunrui's family, and the first thing that comes to mind is to stabilize Zheng Xunrui's position.

Zheng Jinhong didn't speak, his thoughts were different from Xu Wanghua's, after all, his identity was different, if he was in charge of the newly established Intelligence Bureau, I am afraid that it would be the same as Xu Fo's family's thoughts, as long as someone dared to threaten Zheng Xunrui's interests, he would be unceremoniously.

"I know Mr. Xu's concern, your concern is very reasonable, so we need to use the system to limit the power of the Intelligence Agency, not to let the power of the Intelligence Agency unlimited, in this regard, Mr. and Jin Hong want to remind me from time to time, in fact, I also know that the responsibilities of the Intelligence Agency have undergone major changes, once we start to do things, there must be a lot of things to explore, if we can't limit it at this time, it is possible to let the situation of Jinyiwei and Dongchang appear, which will be a big blow to ourselves."

Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Wanghua, this time he really appreciated Xu Wanghua, Xu Wanghua was able to anticipate possible problems in advance, it was not simple, whether the intelligence agency could perform its duties well had a lot to do with the leader, everyone had flaws, and they would doubt whether the people around them were loyal, once they found out that the wind was blowing, it was very likely to fall into impatience and ruthlessness, at this time, it was easy to trust the judgment of the intelligence agency, and it was easy to make irrational choices.

In fact, letting the Xu Fojia be in charge of the affairs of the Intelligence Agency is also a temporary move by Zheng Xunrui, and it is a choice made under the circumstance that there is no way, such a choice has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that the Xu Fojia is absolutely loyal, not to mention the imperial court, even if the emperor personally instigated the rebellion, it has no effect, and the disadvantages are also obvious, the identity of the Xu Fojia is special, and others are not good and dare not open their mouths to put forward any opinions.
