Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 334
Jin Yiwei Commander Si Yamen.

After Li Jing left, Ma Wu looked at Zong Chao and said, "Mr. Zong, you heard what the commander said. If Jin Yiwei doesn't handle this matter well, you won't pass the exam, and I will also be implicated. Now we two It's a grasshopper on a rope, it can't run away and you can't jump me, so how to satisfy the commander-in-chief has to be carefully considered."

Zong Chao smiled lightly: "The admiral is right, but it is not difficult to deal with this matter. Although there are many Jinyiwei and complicated members, as long as we make good use of one person, we can easily solve this problem .”

"Just use one person well? Who?" Ma Wuqi said.

Zong Chao smiled and said, "Luo Yangxing!"

"Luo Yangxing? This person is the former commander of Jinyiwei. Can this person be used?" Ma Wu asked doubtfully.

Zong Chao got up and picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ma Wu, then handed it to Ma Wu and said, "My lord, do you still remember that the Marshal told your lord before he left that you handled Luo Yangxing well?"

Ma Wu nodded, took the teacup, and took a sip.

Zong Chao smiled and continued: "Actually, how to deal with the Jinyiwei group, the commander-in-chief has already pointed out the direction for the adults. This direction is about the appointment of Luo Yangxing. The appointment of Luo Yangxing by the commander-in-chief is actually telling the adults. Let Luo Yangxing help you deal with people like Jin Yiwei."

Ma Wu heard the words, slapped his head, and suddenly said: "I said why did the commander-in-chief appoint Luo Yangxing only? That's what he meant. But why didn't the commander-in-chief just tell me?"

Zong Chao said with a smile: "My lord, you are not the same as before. If you have to point out everything, how will others think of your lord? How will you think of your lord?"

Ma Wu heard the words and nodded silently.

In fact, Ma Wu was highly regarded by Li Jing, so naturally he would not be so helpless. It was his first time as an official, and he was in an important position.

You must know that Ma Wu used to secretly inquire about intelligence in the name of a businessman. Although there are thousands of people under him, it is not a formal intelligence agency like Jinyiwei after all.

It takes a while for anyone to change from a wild way to a regular one.

Li Jing also knew that it was impossible for Ma Wu to get started right away and straighten out the work in hand. Li Jing knew very well that no one in this world could be born with it. It took nearly ten years for Li Jing to get to where he is today. In the time spent, it is necessary to rely on the words and deeds of a political veteran like Yuan Keli, who reminds him from time to time.

If Li Jing himself is like this, how can he ask Ma Wu to learn by himself without a teacher?That's why I mentioned Ma Wu's appointment of Luo Yangxing. As for not directly pointing out Ma Wu, I just want Ma Wu to figure out how to employ people.

It is also out of such considerations to let Zong Chao serve as Ma Wu's staff.

Ma Wu is Zong Chao's direct boss, no matter how capable Zong Chao is, he has to be cautious about watching Ma Wu's winks, and Zong Chao was brought up by Ma Wuti, so he will respect Ma Wu at any time, and Zong Chao will help Ma Wu, I think Ma Wu will be able to straighten out his work soon.

In fact, Ma Wu's savvy is also very high, otherwise, he would not be able to do such a good job in intelligence work.

After being reminded by Zong Chao, Ma Wu quickly understood Li Jing's intentions.

Looking at Zong Chao, Ma Wu sighed: "Mr. Zong really awakened the dreamer with one word, Ma Wu is dull, please give me more advice in the future."

Zong Chao waved his hands again and again when he heard the words: "My lord, Wan Sheng's morality and deeds really don't dare to be called Mr. Mr. If your lord thinks about Shang Wansheng, you can just call him Wan Sheng."

Ma Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, Ma Wu is such a rough old man, I'm afraid it's degrading to call him Mr."

Zong Chao said with a smile: "Your Excellency is too modest. I have never seen a commander-in-chief before in my life. Your Excellency can be so valued by the commander-in-chief. If you say that you are a rough person, there will be no learned person in this world."

Ma Wu laughed out loud when he heard this.

As the saying goes, thousands of clothes are worn for thousands of times, but flattery is not worn.What's more, Zong Chao's flattery is extremely clever, put Li Jing first, no matter how modest Ma Wu is, he has to accept this sentence, otherwise, it is tantamount to saying that Li Jing has no vision.

In Ma Wu's heart, Li Jing is heaven, and Ma Wu is happier to hear others praise Li Jing than to hear himself praised.Zong Chao's words not only flattered Ma Wu, but also flattered Li Jing, and Ma Wu was greatly benefited from hearing this.

After laughing for a while, Ma Wu said: "Yong Chao, the commander-in-chief has already figured out a way for us, if we still can't do it well, we will be laughed at to death."

Zong Chao said with a smile: "Exactly, my lord, we need people and money. If we can't do what the commander told us, we will lose face in the future."

Ma Wu nodded, pondered for a while and said: "Well, when Luo Yangxing comes back, we will start to act. However, General Cao will use troops against Mongolia during this period, so I have to focus on that. You can help me with Jin Yiwei's matter." Keep an eye on it, it needs money and manpower, just tell me."

"Don't worry, my lord, Yong Chao will live up to my lord's entrustment." Zong Chao cupped his hands and said.

Just as Zong Chao finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone outside report that Luo Yangxing had returned.

Hearing this, Ma Wu hurriedly put down his teacup, waved to Zong Chao, and said, "Come, welcome Lord Luo with me."

"Welcome Lord Luo?" Zong Chao was startled, and answered casually.

Ma Wu smiled: "I learned this from the Marshal. The Marshal is polite and corporal, and often greets his subordinates in person. Ma Wu will do the same in the future."

Thinking of Li Jing and the emperor coming to see him in person, Zong Chao nodded silently, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Luo Yangxing never expected that Ma Wu would greet him in person, and when he saw Ma Wu coming out, he couldn't help being dazed for a while.

Gently patted Luo Yangxing's shoulder, Ma Wu said with a smile: "Brother Luo, don't be dazed, come, follow me into the hall."

"My lord, how can Luo be greeted personally as an adult when he is waiting for a crime?" Luo Yangxing hurriedly bowed and said.

Ma Wu returned with a salute and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, I was doing official business before. Brothers dare not discuss personal affairs with Brother Luo. If there is any offence, I will look to Brother Luo Haihan."

Luo Yangxing hurriedly said: "Don't dare, dare not."

Ma Wu smiled and supported Luo Yangxing's arm with one hand, and led forward with the other: "Now there are no outsiders here, how can brother pretend to be like Brother Luo again? Come, come into the hall with me."

When Luo Yangxing heard this, his mind was stirred for a while, he couldn't help sighing secretly, and silently followed Ma Wu into the hall.

When they arrived at the study, Ma Wu stretched out his hand to invite Luo Yangxing to sit down. Zong Chao hurriedly poured tea for the two of them. Ma Wu waved his hand, signaling Zong Chao to sit down together.

Picking up the teacup from the table and handing it to Luo Yangxing, Ma Wu said, "Brother Luo, let me introduce you. This is brother's secretary and staff member. His surname is Zong, his name is Chao, and his style name is Yongchao. We will work together in the future. The two of you Get so close."

"Wansheng met Master Luo, and I will ask Master Luo to teach you more in the future." Zong Chao heard this, and hurriedly got up and hugged Luo Yangxing.

"Don't dare, dare not, in the future, Luo will ask Mr. Zong to take care of him." Luo Yangxing said hurriedly.

Luo Yangxing is not stupid. Ma Wu introduced Zong Chao to him so solemnly. This Zong Chao must be Ma Wu's confidant. Even if he has no rank, how dare Luo Yangxing neglect him?

While Luo Yangxing and Zong Chao were talking, a guard who followed Luo Yangxing to check the family property hurriedly handed the list of registered properties to Ma Wu and said, "Please have a look, my lord."

At this time, Ma Wu was having a relationship with Luo Yangxing. He didn't want to read the list right now, but he hesitated for a while, so he took it and opened it to read it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, Ma Wu shook his head, and said to the guard: "You guys have done too much, right? Why did you rob Lord Luo's house? How will this make Lord Luo's family live in the future?"

Hearing Ma Wu reprimanding the guards, Luo Yangxing hurriedly said: "My lord, it has nothing to do with these brothers, it was Luo who handed it over on his own initiative."

Ma Wu waved his hand, and said to the guard: "You should make an inventory again, return all the belongings of Mr. Luo's own house, and only confiscate the property and land given by others."

The guard hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After retreating with the guards, Ma Wu turned to Luo Yangxing and said, "Brother Luo, don't blame me. Now that the commander-in-chief is in power, he is strictly cracking down on officials' corruption. Brothers must confiscate the things given by others. Brother Luo can also work with peace of mind after handing over. You don’t have to worry about Brother Gao’s subordinates finding fault with Brother Luo.”

Luo Yangxing nodded hastily, hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Admiral, who is the brother Gao you mentioned just now? How dare he find fault with the Lord's subordinates?"

Ma Wu smiled: "There are a few people under the commander-in-chief, you have to remember. These people are all old brothers who started with the commander-in-chief, and they are all people who have made great contributions. Don't offend them when you meet them in the future."

Luo Yang and Zong Chao nodded hastily when they heard the words.

Ma Wu pointed his fingers and said: "The first one is Gao Qi, the brother Gao I just mentioned, you may not have heard of this person's name before, but let me tell you, the commander-in-chief can have today's foundation, Brother Gao He deserves great credit, and this man is sophisticated and rigorous in his work. The commander appointed Brother Gao as the chief inspector of the Chinese army, and he is also in charge of the two departments of the general staff and the military and political department. This shows how important the commander is to him. Our security and security department is subordinate to him. under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs."

Then Ma Wuban raised his second finger and said: "The second person is Chen Guozhu. We all call him Zhuzi. This man was trained by the commander in chief. The commander appointed him as the governor of the garrison military area. Handed them all over to him, which shows his relationship with the commander in chief, don't bully him when you see him, otherwise, I'm afraid even I won't be able to keep you guys."

Luo Yang and Zong Chao nodded after hearing this, but just now Ma Wu only said that he might not be able to keep them. These two people are good people, so they can understand what Ma Wu said.

Ma Wu then raised his third finger and said: "The third person is Sun Meng. This person joined the Marshal together with Brother Gao. Brother Sun has been stationed in Henan all the year round. This time the Marshal appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the rear army. Regarding the affairs of the Eastern Military Region, he will be in charge of the Southeast War in the future."

Then Ma Wu pulled down two fingers at the same time: "There are two other people, one is Chen Dahu and the other is Liu Erleng. Although the positions of these two are not as high as the previous three, you should not underestimate them. Brother Gao doesn't listen to the words of the commander alone, if you offend the two of them, no one can protect you except the commander."

Luo Yang and Zong Chao were horrified when they heard this, they didn't know why Chen Dahu and Liu Erleng dared to be so arrogant and domineering.

After a pause, Ma Wu continued: "In addition to the five people mentioned above, there is another person who must not be underestimated. This person is Mr. Yuan Keli. The commander-in-chief has been taught by Mr. Meng to treat him like a father. If you make him angry, then you can't take it lightly." No one can really keep him."

Luo Yang and Zong Chao hurriedly nodded in agreement.
