Chapter 80: Calculation
The Intelligence Department is a secret unit, so naturally it can't be listed openly, and it won't choose to make trouble, so after stationing in Xijing City, Zhao Ta chose a courtyard in the north of the city for them as an office. It was said to belong to the mansion of a certain marquis of the previous dynasty, and because it was involved in the Yelu Yixin case that year, it was raided and exterminated.
At the time, people thought that this place was ominous, so it has been idle and uncared for, and gradually dilapidated, becoming a place where wild foxes and cunning rabbits haunt, like a ghost house, and later even the nearby residents were afraid of sticking to the bad luck and moved away, so that there is such a quiet place in this prosperous place, this courtyard occupies a large area, and it can be used as the headquarters of the Intelligence Division.
After selecting the location, Zhao Ta ordered the engineer battalion of the Zhongxing Army Heavy Brigade to organize the construction, increase the height and thickness of the wall, build the corner tower, strengthen and repair the original houses, and add the necessary facilities. Because the buildings in the courtyard are all blue bricks and green tiles, the doors are rarely opened, there is not even a sign, there is mystery everywhere, and the notoriety of the past makes it even more gloomy, so people avoid it, even if it is not from here, it is necessary to walk a few steps quickly.
Zhao Ta's car was still a hundred steps away from the Intelligence Division, and it had already been discovered by the people in the courtyard, they all understood the nature of their yamen, those who were familiar with it knew that they couldn't afford to provoke them, and those who didn't know how to think they were mysterious. But the guard at the door only glanced at the tokens handed out by the people in the carriage, and immediately opened the gate and let them in.
Li Jun was even more surprised when he reported the prince's visit, and hurriedly dressed up and rushed to the front hall to greet him, but he only muttered in his heart. Is it because of the departure of King Ye Luding of Liang, which provoked the prince to come to ask for guilt. They were indeed negligent in this matter. can't blame him all, because the prince has ordered not to focus on monitoring these Khitan princes. Just do a routine investigation, and he didn't take this Yeluding who has no job or authority to heart, but he didn't expect something to happen this time.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates are not doing things well, please punish the prince!" Welcoming the prince into the house, Li Jun immediately stepped forward to ask for guilt, no matter what, he was in charge of an inspector, and it was difficult to shirk if something happened, so it was better to admit his mistake as soon as possible.
"You and I are both responsible at this time. It also reminds us that we must strengthen monitoring of key targets in the future! Zhao Ta said that he took responsibility.
"Lord Wang, the subordinates have already done it again, and they are arranging manpower, but we are now focusing on the Jin Kingdom and the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, and some areas are still blank, and the subordinates think that now that we have our own territory, we should set up a corresponding department to deal with Xijing affairs!" Li Jun said.
"Hmm. This is a good proposal, we can set up a department to fight and monitor internal destabilizing elements, and deal with enemy spies who have infiltrated our territory! Zhao Ta nodded and said, his intelligence department is mostly aimed at enemy countries or potential hostile countries. Domestic intelligence gathering has become a weakness.
"Lord Wang, is this department independent?" Li Jun asked.
"No, for the time being, it's under the leadership of the Intelligence Division. Some of the people who had been engaged in internal control in the past could be separated and a single internal affairs bureau could be formed. You should make a plan as soon as possible, setting out the staff, staffing and funding required. Then recommend the person in charge to choose one and hand it over to me, and implement it according to the original deployment before it is established! Zhao said.
"Yes!" Li Jun said that although his power has increased, his responsibility has also increased.
"You almost forgot about business, how is the preparation of 'Operation Ark'?" Zhao Ta patted his head and asked.
"Lord Wang, the action plan has been formulated, and the action personnel have been selected, so it can only be ordered by the prince!" Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the purpose of the prince's trip was to inquire about the actions of the ark, not to ask about the crime.
"Very good, immediately start deploying personnel, ready to carry out operations, this time there are many goals, great difficulties, and the timing must be grasped well, early will arouse the vigilance of the other party, late will fall short!" Zhao Ta said, "This operation should formulate several more sets of plans, what to do if the city is broken, what to do if the city surrenders, how to deal with the active contribution, and how to resettle and withdraw after the personnel are rescued, we must have corresponding plans, and we must not be careless!" ”
"Don't worry, the last time you returned to Beijing, we already had an operation experience, but the prince flew out and didn't fully implement it!" Li Jun said that after the prince 'flew' away from Beijing, many people in the mansion were evacuated by the special team of the Intelligence Department according to the original plan, and no one was left behind in the operation, and there were no casualties, which made him very confident in success.
"This time is different from the last time, the city has been besieged, the entry of the operatives, the transmission of information will become very difficult, and the target does not trust you, what if you do not cooperate, what if you can't withdraw from the city for a while? And the disappearance of so many people will definitely cause a large-scale arrest, how to hide, how to eat and drink, how to solve these details must be thought of, and you must not be paralyzed! Zhao Ta said solemnly.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates request to personally go to carry out the Ark operation to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" Li Jun saw that the prince was serious, and he also became solemn.
"It's okay, I'm still relieved if you go, but don't force it, we also know the destiny of heaven to do our best, don't be strong and give your life in vain, this king can't do without your left arm!" Zhao Ta Zhengse said.
"Thank you, my subordinates understand!" Li Jun Shili said, the prince often compares the loyal army to his right arm, and the intelligence department is the left arm, he is the planner of the operation, so he naturally understands the importance to the prince, but the prince still thinks of his own safety first, how can he not be moved...
Zhao Ta left the 'Li Mansion' and the drum sounded even more It was already the second watch, and snowflakes were floating in the gloomy sky, Li Jun watched the carriage disappear into the darkness, and felt full of emotion in his heart, is the prince too soft-hearted, they treat the prince like this, but the prince can't let them go.
As the head of the Intelligence Department, Li Jun is very familiar with the situation in Bianjing, and now the frequent civil unrest in the city is related to some people taking the opportunity to make trouble, but it also shows that the people's will is available, and the enthusiasm of the people in the capital to resist gold is also very high. If Zhao Huan is smart and good at guiding at this moment, he will be able to defend the city with tens of thousands of people, so as long as the arrangement is correct, the army and the people will definitely use their lives, and it is not easy for the Jin army to capture the capital. Even if there is no foreign aid, try to hold out for a year, the Jin army will definitely retire because of lack of food. It's a pity that Zhao Huan can't see his advantages, this kind of faint monarch is in power, and the prince will never come out, Li Jun thought about it and had a plan... (To be continued......)
