Chapter 178(1/2)
"Boss Lin, what do you think of this matter?" Sun Chengzong suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Lin who was standing aside.
"Me?" Li Lin's eyes widened and he was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Sun Chengzong asked him this question.
"Yes, it's you. Tell me, what do you think about this matter?" Sun Chengzong smiled and looked at Li Xiao with an encouraging expression.
"Uh...!" Li Lin was not prepared and couldn't help but think about it.
"It's okay! According to what you think in your heart, I don't blame you if you are wrong." Li Xiao also had an encouraging expression.
"All right!
This thing... I think the Ming Dynasty has a population of more than 400 million, and its territory extends from the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains in Heilongjiang to Hainan Island in the south.
It would be unimaginable to have all the security forces across the country abolished at once.
Besides, there is still a war going on ahead. Once there is chaos in the country, the soldiers on the battlefield will know the news and their morale will be unstable.
If something goes wrong both inside and outside, the consequences would be disastrous."
As Li Lin spoke, he looked at the expressions of Sun Chengzong and Li Xiao.
"Okay! Go on." Sun Chengzong picked up the small teapot and took a sip.
Li Xiao said nothing, but his eyes were full of encouragement.
Li Lin feels more courageous!
"I think Luo Yangxing formed a gang and treated Jin Yiwei as if he were part of his family. This is absolutely not allowed!
After all, this is an institution of the imperial court, not a business of Luo Yangxing and his family.
If you want punishment, then deal with Luo Yangxing and his cronies.
In this way, there will be no chaos in the country.
It will not affect the battle situation on the front line!" After Li Lin finished speaking, he looked at his father and Sun Chengzong like primary school students waiting for their papers to be graded.
"Yeah!" Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong nodded at the same time.
"There is a meaning that the child did not say, that is, if Luo Yangxing is allowed to continue like this, it will foster ambitions that he should not have.
There are Jinyiwei and security forces under the management of Jinyiwei across the country, with a total of one million and several hundred thousand people.
They are usually in charge of public security, and the power in their hands is not small.
Luo Yangxing regards Jinyiwei as their family... As time goes by, it is inevitable that he will have thoughts that he shouldn't have."
Sun Chengzong put down the small teapot and glanced at Li Lin with satisfaction.
"I thought so too. I used to think of letting him work for two years and wait until the war was over before we started to clean up the country.
Now it looks like it won't work!
Jin Yiwei acted more and more unscrupulously, even the officers of the Supervision Department dared to beat him to death.
There are countless cases of disregarding human life, taking bribes, and covering up prostitutes and gamblers.
People already have a lot of complaints!
And this time, I went to Shanhaiguan.
They actually openly trafficked foreign people to Liaodong!
All foreigners are prohibited from entering Liaodong. Not only did they give me a pass, but they actually guaranteed that no one would care about me wherever I went, and that the Jinyiwei in the world were all members of the same family.
Regardless, it looks like it won't work.
I’m just worried…!”
Li Xiao hesitated to speak.
"Are you worried that once a large-scale rectification of Jinyiwei is carried out, it will affect domestic security and then affect the frontline war situation?"
Sun Chengzong asked with a smile.
"yes!
The situation on the front line is actually not optimistic. We have advantages in equipment and the quality of our troops.
The European coalition has an absolute numerical advantage.
The reason we have been able to persist without collapse is entirely because we have armored units such as the 1st Cavalry Division and the 1st Expeditionary Force.
But Europeans are not stupid either!
The coalition forces defeated our armored forces the last time they were in Belgorod.
They made rapid progress and not only had weapons to deal with tanks.
We even had corresponding tactics to deal with tanks, and our losses were huge.
Types 1 to 3 tanks were all forced to withdraw from the battle order.
From now on, it can only be used as a reconnaissance and protection logistics unit, and it will no longer work to charge into battle."
"oh!
I didn't expect it to be like this!" After hearing Li Xiao's words, Sun Chengzong also frowned.
He used to think that with the support of armored forces, why did the Ming army still fight so hard.
Only now do we know that although the Ming army achieved some victories, it was still at a disadvantage on the battlefield.
"Not only that, our army lost and abandoned a lot of equipment on the battlefield, including tanks and other armored vehicles.
According to the technology of the Europeans, reverse research is estimated to be able to imitate it in a short time."
Li Xiao sighed helplessly.
At that time, boiler steam engine warships were exported to Europe. Unexpectedly, it only took two or three years for Europe to be able to imitate them.
Although the technical difficulty of tanks and armored vehicles is much greater than that of boilers, steam engines and battleships.
But there is no level that is too big to reach!
It was only a matter of time before the coalition forces imitated tanks and armored vehicles.
"That said, we should solve the internal problems as soon as possible."
"You also mean to deal with Luo Yangxing?"
"right!
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is who will take his place after Luo Yangxing has passed away.
Ordinary people are not qualified to be the highest government official in charge of public security in a country. It must be done by a person with both ability and political integrity.
Have you considered a good candidate?"
"It is precisely because there is no such candidate that I feel hesitant."
"I do have a candidate. Although this person has flaws, there is absolutely no problem with his ability."
Sun Chengzong blinked and looked at Li Xiao.
"Who?" Li Xiao's eyes lit up immediately.
"Zhang Huangyan!" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
"Zhang...!" Li Xiao curled his lips helplessly.
"how?
Are you worried?" Sun Chengzong looked at Li Xiao with a smile.
"You know what he did when he was the chief assistant.
The remaining poison has not been completely removed today!
If he is the commander of the Jin Yiwei, why should he make the Jin Yiwei a mess?"
Li Xiao still remembers Zhang Huangyan's greed.
When he was in charge of the government and served as the chief minister, his selling of official positions and titles reached an outrageous level.
No matter what a person's ability is, as long as the money is in place, he can become an official.
This has resulted in a large number of unqualified officials taking positions they should not sit in.
Similarly, it also crowds out those talented officials.
"Employ people and make use of their talents! This is what those in power should do.
Zhang Huangyan has his faults, but the Zhang Huangyan at that time and the Zhang Huangyan now are two different things.
At that time, Zhang Huangyan was the chief minister of the imperial court, with one person under his command and more than ten thousand people, and he was very high-spirited.
It is reasonable to do some erratic things.
But now?
hey-hey!
In the past few years, Xian Fu has seen and heard many sarcastic remarks.
Now if you put him in a high position, do you think he will be the same as before?
He will cherish the hard-won opportunity, although he dare not say that he will be clean after becoming the commander of the Imperial Guard.
But it is certain that the phenomenon of selling one’s official position and getting one’s rank will never happen again.
He is not short of money now. It is not worth it to lose the official position that he finally regained for useless things!
Gu Zhi
He will definitely settle this account clearly."
After listening to Sun Chengzong's words, Li Xiao hesitated.
It does take courage and courage to defeat someone like Zhang Huangyan.
