The rebellion in southern Xinjiang has been quelled under the joint suppression of the Northwest Military Region and the State Security Bureau. Since the declaration of southern Xinjiang as a military control zone, military law has been applied in all areas where it is located, and military courts can impose the death penalty without following normal judicial procedures, and no appeal is allowed. For four months, the army was responsible for armed counterinsurgency, and the General Directorate of National Security was responsible for clearing out hidden rebels, with a clear division of labor. The army has basically maintained the strict military discipline of the National Defense Forces, and the State Security Administration has made the residents of southern Xinjiang talk about the "river" in a different way, and more than 3,000 people have been arrested and executed by the State Security Bureau in the whole of Xinjiang, and this does not include the "results" of the secret operations of several action teams.

In the territory of the Republic of China, Xinjiang, Tibet and Qinghai are the three border provinces, and they are also the three unstable provinces. The former Qing Dynasty, religion, and foreign forces were intertwined, and they were less deferential to the central government. Although provincial governments were established and troops were stationed, the areas actually controlled by the central government were very limited. This situation has been going on for a long time, including Zuo Wenxiang, who led Huxiang Jian'er to quell the Agubai rebellion, and did not really unify Xinjiang. Fortunately, the religious forces in the south have always been strong, and there are direct ties with Russia. In 1915, Xinjiang parliamentarians put forward a proposal to establish an autonomous region, but it was not accepted. In 1916, as the central government vigorously implemented a series of land policies and planned to establish the Xinjiang Agricultural Reclamation Corps, it triggered a conflict between the central government and the local elites. In addition, due to the diplomatic achievements brought about by the expeditionary force's conquest of Russia, the regimes in Central Asia, which were controlled by Russia, feared that China would take advantage of Russia's internal strife to advance westward, and increased their infiltration and armed support for Xinjiang regions dissatisfied with the central government's policies. The rebellion was initiated by Kashgar and swept through southern Xinjiang, killing a large number of Han officials. The rebels were as high as 250,000 at the peak, and the central government was shaken, and then deployed to counter the rebellion.

Although the situation was critical, Beijing adopted a steady and steady strategy in counterinsurgency, first holding on to Dihua and thwarting the rebels' northward advance. Then calmly mobilize a large army into Xinjiang. The final battle was handed over to General Shi Dashou, who returned from Russia to serve as commander of the Northwest Military District. In order to completely solve the Xinjiang problem, Long Qian appointed Jiang Yun to sit in Xinjiang and completely dig out the roots of the rebellion.

The rebels, who rushed to the army, were naturally no match for the Wehrmacht, and there was no doubt about the military victory. Jiang Yun's method is very simple: thoroughly wipe out the upper-level forces in Xinjiang, except for the political and religious leaders who actually cooperate with the central government, all Uyghur officials at or above the county level, and all landlords with more than 100 acres of land. All religious heads are the objects of his "purge". General Shi Dashou, who nominally assumed the highest responsibility for counterinsurgency, once reminded Jiang Yun to be extra cautious about religious issues. But Jiang Yun didn't care, and still followed his predetermined routine. His Xinjiang sub-bureau has a list of who is loyal to the central government and who has two hearts with the central government. If the evidence is conclusive, go through a procedure after a military trial. If the evidence is vague, it is directly handled by the task force in their own way.

As the long-time head of the Mengshan Army's intelligence agency, he has a deep understanding of power and power unlike anyone else. In today's society, no single force, including religious forces, can compete with the regime. What is the regime? It is the power of repression, which is outwardly marked by prisons, the police, and the military, and the inner core is the leader with a high concentration of power. What religion. What doctrine is, it is scum in the face of the iron-blooded regime. Therefore, he admired Cao Kun and Wu Peifu's approach after entering Tibet, and in terms of religious forces, Xinjiang is always inferior to Tibet, right? What about Tibet, where there is a high degree of unity between church and state? Isn't it obediently adopting a cooperative attitude with the Mengshan Army? Since Xinjiang is not honest, then I will wipe out the so-called upper echelons who can incite the people. See how they still stir up the ignorant populace?

After Jiang Yun got Long Qian's acquiescence, he was in the limelight in the Xinjiang incident. And before, he had been hiding in the dark, low-key and modest, even if the State Security Bureau separated from the Ministry of Police and became an independent ministerial-level organization, Jiang Yun rarely attended the regular meetings of the Government Council, anyway, there was only one immediate boss, except for that person, no one knew what Jiang Yun was busy with. Within the General Bureau, Jiang Yun's mystery is still very high, and his assistants and subordinates can't tell where the director is, what work he has been doing recently, and they don't know his private life. Including Wang Zhifeng, who has been serving as the deputy director of the bureau and is also trusted by Long Qian.

Jiangyun's initial business knowledge came entirely from Long Qian's teaching. It is no exaggeration to say that it was Long Qian who led him into this door full of blood, excitement and responsibility. But more knowledge and principles come from his own understanding. One of his unwavering principles was secrecy, and what the left hand did did not need the right hand to know. Therefore, he rarely holds meetings of senior officials of the overall situation, rarely arranges the overall work, always explains and deals with it alone, and successfully establishes a set of internal supervision system, in addition to himself, including Wang Zhifeng, he is also monitored, where to go, who to get close to, and whether his private life is checked. He believes that senior officials in the national security system must have a puritanical spirit, and that the standards can be relaxed for those at the periphery and lower levels, but that the core members are not allowed to have problems with money. The ancients said that those who can't break the two levels of goods and colors are insignificant. The head of the intelligence department is greedy for money and lustful, and there will definitely be a big mess. Thus, since the formation of the General Directorate, he has dismissed a large number of senators, who left their posts not because they were incompetent, much less betrayal, but because they violated the norms he believed in.

The immediate consequence of the establishment of such a system is that it is laborious. It requires an extremely sharp mind and vigorous energy. But Jiang Yun was happy to do it, he was an orphan and had no relatives to come and go. He was single and had no family. In Jiang Yun's view, people who are obsessed with women are stupid, and what real men are obsessed with is definitely power and nothing else. The core of power is to control the fate of others, not money, let alone beauty. Therefore, Jiang Yun is not greedy for money or lustful, and most of the time he eats and lives in the General Bureau, burying his head in the case or meditating in his not spacious but always well-organized office.

In recent years, the State Security Administration has become more and more silent, losing the scenery of the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. When the armed forces have won many victories in foreign wars, and the military has become a group that is truly loved by the people, and when the various government ministries have made remarkable achievements in their respective fields, the General Administration of State Security has become more and more forgotten. Although the size and personnel of this so-called world's largest intelligence agency are more than three times larger than in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, despite the fact that its open and secret foreign agencies are spread all over the country and abroad. But he succeeded in stealing according to Long Qian's request. No one knows what it is busy with, and even the Audit Bureau of the Ministry of Supervision, led by Cao Minzhong, cannot fully explain where the huge funds of the State Security Administration are going.

This is exactly what Jiang Yun wants to see.

Jiang Yun positioned the State Security Bureau as a dagger for Long Qian. The reason why it is not a long knife but a dagger is because the dagger can be hidden in the sleeve of the bosom and kill with one blow if necessary.

The General Administration of National Security is in charge of national security, and to put it bluntly, its mission is espionage and counter-espionage. But Jiang Yun put protecting Long Qian's safety and implementing Long Qian's intentions above his public mission. He had said it to absolute cronies. What is the country? What is the security of the country? The answer is simple, the leader is the country, and the leader security is the national security. Carrying out the intentions of the leader and ensuring the safety of the leader is the highest responsibility of the General Directorate.

It is wrong to understand Jiang Yun's position on the functions of the General Administration in a narrow sense. Security is a broad meaning and does not specifically refer to physical threats. Since the Dongzhimen case at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has not been a single incident that directly threatens Long Qian's safety. Moreover, the president's security is not the responsibility of the Directorate-General. The Central Guard Bureau, which was established after the founding of the People's Republic of China, is directly responsible for the security of the president and other senior leaders. The General Administration didn't ask at all.

However, Jiang Yun thinks. You have to control a qiē to feel at ease. He even hopes that the General Administration can control all the hundreds of millions of people and control their words and deeds. But that can't be done. That was just Jiang Yun's dream. In addition to personnel and finance, the rest of the bureaus directly under the jurisdiction of the General Administration are to put it bluntly monitoring and controlling, such as the Telecommunications Bureau, the Counterespionage Bureau, the Political Parties Bureau, and the Archives Bureau. After so many years, the General Administration has established a set of effective surveillance networks. Anyone who deems a threat to national security is included in this terrifying surveillance network. That's the only way. Jiang Yuncai thinks that it is safe, and uncontrolled people and things always make him anxious. In fact, his General Administration still has blind spots, such as the army, and the General Administration is powerless. Where is the territory of the Military Intelligence Agency. Long Qian once strictly demarcated the boundary between the two major intelligence agencies, and he was never allowed to act beyond the boundary.

Jiang Yun regarded Long Qian as his only boss. Treat him as an elder. If there is anyone he respects in his heart, it is only Long Qian. If there is anyone he is afraid of in his heart, it is only Long Qian. But if there is anyone he is close to, it is only Chen Shu.

Respect and fear come from Long Qian's ability, especially his ability to perceive the general situation and characters. Closeness but care. Sincere care like an elder sister.

Long Qianwei had several personal guards, or orderlies, such as Gu Xiaolin, Lu Guangda, etc., and later mixed well, and he was also the number one person. But Chen Shu is not ordinary to Jiang Yun, and has always regarded him as a relative and his younger brother. Especially in Jiang Yun's marriage, Chen Shu can be said to be heartbroken. is high and powerful, handsome, why don't you find a daughter-in-law to start a family? Every time she saw Jiang Yun, Chen Shu's constant topic was to introduce him to the girls she thought were suitable. Jiang Yun's refusal even made Chen Shu suspicious, is there something unspeakable that cannot be humane? If you are sick, you need to treat it early. She told Long Qian in private, and Long Qian said with a smile that everyone has their own life, and Jiang Yun is not looking for a daughter-in-law, it is just that fate has not arrived. Don't worry about it. The last thing that kid lacks is assertiveness, unless he likes it himself.

The only time Chen Shu was angry with Jiang Yun was because of Xu Si. She was really sad that time, and found that Jiang Yun only had Long Qian in her heart, and she didn't have her sister-in-law at all. I usually call my sister-in-law long and sister-in-law short, it's all fake. At the critical time, he was still on Long Qian's side. That time, she scolded Jiang Yun, and Jiang Yun stood there silently and let her scold. finally said to Chen Shu, sister-in-law, what I have done is not only for the commander, but also for you. You'll understand later.

Chen Shu drove Jiang Yun away. Vowed not to see this brother who had disappointed him again. But like most people, the oath is meant to be broken. Chen Shu still forgave Jiang Yun and never mentioned Xu Si again. The main reason is that Chen Shu has already believed that Long Qian is no longer in a relationship with that woman.

At the end of 1918, Long Qian went to France, and Jiang Yun went to Xinjiang. Chen Shu heard a rumor from Lu Bicheng that interested her a lot, Jiang Yun had a female companion!

That's big news. Chen Shu immediately came to get to the bottom of it.

As the deputy director in charge of news and proclamations in the presidential office, Lu Bicheng has a wide range of news channels, and she is the main source of rumors about the outside world. Lu Bicheng's news has long been proven to be extremely credible, and Chen Shu immediately believed the news of Jiang Yun's girlfriend.

"That girl's name is Chai Lingjiao. She is a music teacher at No. 4 Middle School, the first female student of the Conservatory, and is 24 years old this year. Although his vision is high, his family background is average, and his ancestor was the head of the former Qing Prime Minister's Yamen, which can be regarded as a division. His father made a living by selling paintings and calligraphy in the factory, and his brother was an officer in the Wehrmacht and now serves in Russia. There are two brothers and sisters in the family, and my mother has passed away for many years. Well, that's it. Lu Bicheng knew that the president's wife cared about Jiang Yun, and reported what she knew to Chen Shu.

Lu Bicheng looked down on the first lady in his bones. People are good, if they marry ordinary people, they must be good wives and mothers. But as the first lady, the pattern is not enough. Like today, with the demeanor of a woman in the market, how can there be a little bit of the dignity and reserve of the first lady. No wonder the Prime Minister's wife looks down on it.

However, Lu Bicheng did not dare to show any disrespect for the first lady. Her husband Situ Jun's character and knowledge are all impressed by her, but her husband has great respect for Chen Shu. This is not only the case for husbands, but also for the generals who came from the military in Mengshan. This is the seniority, and it is also the emotion cultivated by living and dying together, and they regard Chen Shu as one of them. Other women, such as Fang Shengyuan's wife, Ms. Zhao Tao, are not respected by the military, although they are far superior to Chen Shu in terms of knowledge and appearance.

"Sounds good, too. No, I have to ask that kid how dare he hide it from me......"

"Madam, Director Jiang is now on official business in Xinjiang, and the phone is not working, and I am afraid that the telegram is not clear."

"Yes, yes. You call the General Office of the General Administration and ask him to come to me as soon as he returns. ”

"Okay."

"By the way, can I meet that girl?"

"As far as I know, Miss Chai doesn't know anything about Director Jiang's identity."

"Really? This kid is doing the same to his wife? ”

Lu Bicheng smiled and did not answer. The heart said that it is still far away to say that the wife is still far away. However, with Jiang Yun's means, as long as he wants, where will that girl run? (To be continued......)
