Chapter 50 Military Intelligence
Just as everyone was about to leave, Wei Zheng's eyes shot out from his eyes quickly shot onto Zhou Chenguang, the long spear roster. He ordered with his eyes full of surprise.
"Everyone else can leave, Zhou Chenguang, platoon leader Zhou stays for the time being..."
When he first heard this order, Zhou Chenguang only showed a hint of surprise.
However, after everyone else left, Zhou Chenguang unconsciously began to become nervous after facing Wei Zheng's gaze at him.
Wei Zheng pressed his right hand and signaled the other party to return to his seat. After asking calmly, he said, "Party Leader Zhou, I remember you told me that your ancestors were born in the Jinyiwei Wei, and he also worked as a hundred households in the Jinyiwei Zhao Prison. He is very familiar with the internal interrogation and intelligence procedures of the Jinyiwei Weiwei."
The identity of his ancestors as the Jinyiwei was no longer a secret in the eyes of Qianwei Zheng. Therefore, Zhou Chenguang answered without any concealment: "Yes, general. Although Bei Zhi did not join the Jinyiwei, under the influence of his father and grandfather, Bei Zhi believed that he had learned a lot from them and knew a lot about the Jinyiwei's case handling procedures very well..."
After getting the answer he wanted, Wei Zheng's smile became even stronger.
Looking at Zhou Chenguang in front of me, it was like a hunter seeing a prey, and he became happier the more he looked.
It was not until the other party showed an unnatural expression on his face that he asked: "Since that's the case, Platoon Leader Zhou, I don't know if you are interested in returning to your old business and leaving the army."
Zhou Chenguang is worthy of being a source of intelligence. As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, his eyes shot out two hot gazes. With an excited face, he asked tentatively at Wei Zheng: "General, you are going to form an intelligence force of the same nature as the Jinyiwei..."
Wei Zheng nodded first, then shook his head, and then said, "I won't say much about the importance of intelligence. In the previous battle, if you hadn't dug up some information from the Tartar liaison soldiers, we wouldn't have won so easily, and we wouldn't have had the victory of Santunbao a few days ago."
"Because of this, I plan to form an intelligence department belonging to our Tiger and Leopard Army. As for the name of this intelligence department, use the five words "Military Intelligence Department" and is abbreviated as "Military Intelligence Department". And you are the first director of the Tiger and Leopard Army's Military Intelligence Department. I only obey my orders, and the level within the Tiger and Leopard Army is equivalent to the deputy battalion commander in the army."
"I'll do it..." Zhou Chenguang answered without hesitation without thinking.
As an excellent intelligence officer, Zhou Chenguang has a very clear positioning of himself. If he continues to develop in the army and has his mediocre leadership ability and is promoted to the captain of the first team at most, it will be difficult to improve further.
However, if you return to the intelligence system and help the general in front of you form the first intelligence organization of the Tiger and Leopard Army, you will become the direct line of Wei Zheng. The stronger the Tiger and Leopard Army will develop in the future, the higher the status of the Tiger and Leopard Army will be.
However, if you want to build an intelligence force trusted by Wei Zheng, it will definitely be far more difficult than you imagined if you want to build a trusted intelligence force.
After an excited expression flashed across Zhou Chenguang's face, Zhou Chenguang said to Wei Zheng with a serious face: "General, it is easy to form an intelligence department, but it is very difficult to do it."
"First of all, our Tiger and Leopard Army has no intelligence foundation. Except for me, there is no one who is familiar with intelligence."
"Secondly, if our intelligence network wants to truly expand, we must invest huge amounts of money. Therefore, if the intelligence network wants to grow and grow, we must have sufficient funds."
Wei Zheng nodded and concluded to Zhou Chenguang in front of him: "I understand what you mean. If the Intelligence Department wants to develop and pretend to be big, it needs enough money and people. Without money and people, no matter how capable you are, you will never be able to establish the Intelligence Department."
Facing Wei Zheng's gaze towards him, Zhou Chenguang nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Yes, General..."
People and money are the determinants that restrict the development and growth of intelligence forces.
Wei Zheng, who came from the future market, knew these things, but just to better test Zhou Chenguang in front of him to see if Zhou Chenguang could stick to the principles and whether he had real talents and knowledge. Wei Zheng repeatedly asked Zhou Chenguang in front of him.
Seeing that the other party's calm facial expression had not changed from beginning to end, Wei Zheng had already recognized Zhou Chenguang from the bottom of his heart.
After a brief contemplation, he affirmed to Zhou Chenguang in front of him: "Director Zhou, I will give you the money and I will give you the people too. However, I also have my requirements: at least one month, I will master the every move of the Tartars in Zunhua."
Wei Zheng was so direct, Zhou Chenguang did not hesitate and asked bluntly: "I don't know how much money, General, you plan to give me, how many people."
Wei Zheng replied with a readily look: "I will give you two thousand taels of silver to start-up capital first. If it is not enough, then invest it later. In terms of personnel, you can choose between the remaining more than a thousand people. Don't exceed fifty people for the time being. After all the intelligence networks in Zunhua are fully deployed, then expand them."
After a brief contemplation, Zhou Chenguang quickly showed a complex expression of firmness and heat on his face, and he promised to Wei Zheng loudly: "Please rest assured that I have so much money and people, I promise to complete the task."
In rural China, there is a very common habit. In order to make your children live in troubled times, they often add words such as pigs and dogs to their names. The cheaper the name, the easier it is to live.
There is such a man among the more than a thousand young men who have not participated in the Tiger and Leopard Army. His name is Ergouzi...
He is less than twenty years old and is very clever. To put it in a modern saying, such a person has a good word to describe him in the countryside, that is, "a little gangster".
However, it was because of his cleverness that he survived by the Tartars in the village.
Faced with the military treatment offered by the Tiger and Leopard Army, Ergouzi really wanted to participate and eat a meal of meat for two days. However, after thinking of his unruly gangster personality, Ergouzi took the initiative to give up the idea of joining the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Because the Tiger and Leopard Army is a strict military discipline and is definitely not something that you can bear.
Just when Ergouzi thought he would give the Tiger and Leopard Army free labor service like more than a thousand young men, eating bran and drinking thin every day, Zhou Chenguang, who was ordered to form the Military Information Office, found him.
There is no need to train every day like the Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers, and continue to be free in Zunhua, and there is still more than a dozen taels of silver to squander every month. What you need to do is to write down everything you see and hear and pass it on to the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Such a good thing, in Ergouzi's opinion, even if he lanterns are used, he can't find it.
So, when he first heard it, Ergou didn't believe it. However, after receiving repeated confirmation from Zhao Chenguang, Ergouzi finally believed it and shouted excitedly.
"Sir, I do it... I don't have other skills, I still have the ability to steal and ask for information... As long as I give me money and want me to inquire about any news, I can find out."
Zhou Chenguang, who was very satisfied with Ergouzi, did not agree immediately, but continued to ask thoughtfully: "If you encounter the Tartar army and are questioned by the Tartar army, how do you answer..."
As the saying goes, "Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths." For these gangsters living at the bottom, getting rid of the pursuit of the government army and yamen runners is undoubtedly their most basic survival ability.
Therefore, facing Zhou Chenguang's gaze at him, Ergouzi's excited facial expression did not change at all, and he answered confidently: "Sir, I will tell the Tartars that I am a businessman, a businessman who specializes in delivering goods and intelligence to the Tartars... You must know that in Zunhua, this kind of person is from our Ming Dynasty, but there are countless people who secretly serve the Tartars. At that time, the Tartars will not only not make things difficult for me, but will also reward me..."
"The genius who engages in intelligence..." This is Zhou Chenguang's latest comment on Ergouzi in front of him.
After taking a deep breath, he ordered to Ergouzi in front of him with a firm tone: "Since that's the case, I will dress you up as a businessman... In a while, I will give you fifty taels of silver to dress you up as a real businessman..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Chenguang suddenly changed his words and said to the excited Ergouzi with a murderous look on his face: "Of course, don't think about taking the money directly and running away, or going to the Tatars directly to Gaomi... You are not the only intelligence officer sent by our Tiger and Leopard Army. As long as you go to Gaomi, you must have become a corpse before the Tartars come to encircle our Tiger and Leopard Army..."
