Chapter 2512 Burning Building (25)

Zhao Manxiong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Not necessarily, this operation at least split the enemy's coalition to a limited extent, provided us with an opportunity to deploy and dispatch personnel to win the sway target, and obtained information on the direct leaders and backbone organizations of the hostile organization , I initially saw the true face of Liang Cunhou's so-called martial arts. Moreover, we have no losses, and if we have results, it is not a failure. At least our purpose at the beginning of the operation is to obtain direct intelligence from the enemy. We must allow them to make mistakes, and maturity requires a process .”

Wu Mu shook his head and sighed softly: "It's too backward. In this backward era, we ourselves have begun to degenerate."

Zhao Manxiong smiled: "One of the main theories of evolution is 'survival of the fittest'. Therefore, the loss of certain abilities is not necessarily 'degeneration', but rather a kind of 'evolution' to adapt to the environment."

Wu Mu didn't talk about this issue again: "Yang Cao's report has been sent up. She seems to have objections to Xu Tong's actions. I also think it seems a bit too emotional and not decisive enough at critical moments."

"I have read the report." Zhao Manxiong said: "Of course her personal judgment has her reasons. But from my point of view: there was no optimal solution and no standard answer under the circumstances at that time. Everyone made a decision They may all be different. Since we send them to carry out tasks, we must trust their choices and maintain their decisions within the framework of the rules."

Wu Mu said: "They are very different."

Zhao Manxiong said: "Everyone is a unique individual. I am very happy that we have such people in our system. Our organization is currently in a transitional period. We are now in an extraordinary period and have to use some extraordinary This is determined by the particularity of the special period. However, this particularity cannot be used from beginning to end, nor can it be used everywhere. Do you remember the history of the Stasi that I told you?"

"remember."

"The Stasi finally achieved 'omnipotence', but it failed to defend the regime—and this is the reason for its existence. This is a good lesson: the cart should not be put before the horse." Zhao Manxiong lit a fire Cigar, "Our ruling area is expanding. In about 20 years, the Senate will establish a real country. 'Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish'. It is not suitable for us to use everything. Xu Tong's The performance may be 'not decisive' according to Yang Cao's standards, but I personally appreciate him."

Wu Mu said: "Construct from the bottom to prevent micro-duration?"

Zhao Manxiong nodded in agreement and said: "Liu Fuqing is a representative of the old era. It is easy to use but has no potential and cannot adapt to the changes of the new era; Yangcao is a sword forged by us. We fully accept our ruling philosophy and are extremely loyal. , sharp; Xu Tong is the scabbard, which is used to store the edge and prevent the sword from going off the edge. King Arthur pulled out the sword in the stone, and Merlin warned him that the value of the scabbard was ten times that of the blade, but King Arthur lost his own sword after all. The sheath, if you don't know the hidden front, it's rare to be consistent."

Speaking of this, Zhao Manxiong slowly opened his five fingers, and said: "That's why children do multiple-choice questions." After speaking, he retracted his five fingers suddenly, and clenched them tightly.

This is a very intimate remark. Wu Mu didn't answer his words, and said: "Based on all aspects of intelligence, the enemy may have completed the initial integration of forces, and it is likely to launch a full-scale counterattack next. It's just that we don't It is clear whether this kind of counterattack is only in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, or whether it will be supported by external forces."

"If I were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the supervisor, I would naturally prefer to let the internal forces come to the center before the army started to counterattack. This is also the best solution. However, judging from the relevant information provided by the Foreign Intelligence Service, does the Ming Dynasty court have Such ability is questionable."

"If you only talk about the shock of the government and the public, the giant bandits trapped in two provinces like us are better than the bandits and wild boar skin."

"That's right." Zhao Manxiong said, "We conquered Guangdong and Guangxi, and eliminated two provinces in the [-]th. It was a huge shock to the government and the public. But to the court of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which wandered just outside the Fifth Ring Road, was obviously a threat. But bigger."

In the medieval society that lacked effective means of communication, as long as the capital was captured, it would cause great shock and a power vacuum.The central court will stop at nothing to defend the capital.Yuan Chonghuan's death was largely due to his failure to "resist the enemy from outside the country" and let the Eight Banners cavalry appear under the capital wall.

For Daming, who was "the son of heaven guarding the gate", Guangdong and Guangxi, which fell thousands of miles away, and Manchu Qing, which wandered hundreds of miles away, were completely two concepts: one was far away, and the other was imminent.

This also caused the Ming court to "shock" the fall of Guangdong and Guangxi, but in fact it has always been "discussed and unresolved".Although the Ming court was not yet at the end of its rope at this time, the Liaodong heavy army group could not be called in, and the few remaining mobile corps in the Central Plains had to deal with the rogues, which was stretched.

"...Even so," Zhao Manxiong said, "we can't take it lightly. The Foreign Intelligence Agency has comprehensively judged that the Ming court may launch a counterattack by the end of this year—the specific scale is unknown."

"so……"

"This can also explain why these opposition forces are suddenly active again." Zhao Manxiong said in a low voice: "On the one hand, they want to seize this opportunity to counterattack, on the other hand, they don't have much time. Our strategy The pace of adjustment is accelerating. The deployment of some anti-bandit troops has begun to be adjusted, and the transformation of the grassroots has also begun. Armed task forces in various places have begun to be formed. But the policy of the Senate is holding back here, such as the land issue It has not been sorted out yet, and the folk gentry have a great say. Our internal opinions are too different.

He didn't say what he said in Xiexia, but Wumu knew that in the final analysis, the "New Deal" of the Senate did not have enough benefits to export.From this point of view, the common people will certainly not come to "rebel", but they will not "win grain and respect".

It is not enough to just create a "peaceful time", there must also be enough "interests"-whether real or fictional.

"...So, they won't resist when we come, but it's not difficult if someone instigates them to rebel. After all, the common people don't have the ability to think independently, and they have a superstitious obedience to the traditional dynasty and the ruling order. It hasn't been a few years since the dynasty changed. The remaining prestige of Daming is still there."

"However, policy adjustment and implementation cannot be accomplished overnight..."

"It takes time, it takes time," Zhao Manxiong closed his eyes, "You go first. You don't have to report to me again until the case is closed——I have to think about other issues now."

"Yes, then do you want to go back to Lingao?"

"I'm going to stay here for a while." Zhao Manxiong said, "Lingao is already in the past..."

Wu Mu opened the door and went out, Zhao Manxiong slowly leaned back on the leather office chair, the sun was shining on the desk in front of him, with a hint of warmth, he suddenly wanted to touch it, but when he He stretched out his hand, but the sunlight shifted a bit, still leaving him in the dark, as if deliberately avoiding him, Zhao Manxiong smiled wryly, leaned back, and closed his eyes, on the opposite side of the sunlight, there was only the shadow of Lingao .

Wu Mu returned to his office, Yang Cao had been waiting for a long time, and began to report the latest work to him.

The most important thing, apart from Liang Cunhou's case, is the "basic training class" recently organized by the civil affairs department.Although this training course is led by the Civil Affairs Department, the Political Security Bureau is also in the training organization. On the one hand, it is to identify "suspicious objects", and on the other hand, it is to provide the necessary "safety work training" to the core.

Many people in this group are illiterate, and the training work is needless to say very difficult, but things have to have a beginning.

If the training and placement of their cadres has been mainly concentrated in urban areas so far, then the next step is to go deep into rural areas.

"According to the current information, areas where clan power is not strong at present have a tendency to flood the sects, resulting in many civil and criminal disputes."

"Has the law promulgated regarding the banning of sects?"

"It has been promulgated, and the national police are rushing to make relevant announcements..."

"When the newspaper comes out, you should transfer all relevant materials except the 'white list' to Class Nine." Wu Mu said, "Our people only collect intelligence, and the specific crackdown actions are carried out by the police and the national army." Wu Mu said: "I don't know much about this. There are so many gangsters and Taoists of all kinds, including the Heavenly Soldiers and Taoists. I only focused on it when I listened to your report last time. Is there a special group responsible for contacting this kind of people?"

"We have a team that is responsible for the reconnaissance work of Huidaomen. But some time ago, an intelligence officer lost contact. His scope of work included instigating Xue Tu's rebellion. He may have died in the line of duty. The plan should have failed. Combined with the bandit a while ago The leak of the official document of the intelligence report, this time Xuetu should have a big operation after the integration of the underground forces is completed. After the failure of peaceful negotiations, it will inevitably be accompanied by armed struggle. However, our main enemy is not Huidaomen—they are in Guangdong and Guangxi The power of the people is the weakest. It is far inferior to the clan and the gentry and landlords."

"The Ming Dynasty is likely to organize a big counterattack. These people also have to be on guard...how is the work of the gentry?"

"Everything is going according to plan."

Yang Cao said: "Will they accumulate strength and wait for support and riots in the rear?"

"I think they can't wait any longer. Liang Cunhou's Wudi has a keen sense of smell. They are like mice in a bellows, feeling the pressure from the outside world. There is not much time left for them, and they will definitely step up integration in the near future. You arrange it as soon as possible. Intelligence personnel go in and use controlled materials if necessary. We need first-hand information! Obtain their movement direction, hiding place, action plan and time as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen information communication with the army. An operation of this scale is not what we expect Can handle it." Wu Mu said.
