Chapter 83 Choose Quang Ninh to Establish an Intelligence Station
Wang Hongyu followed the army northward and reached Jinzhou via Ningyuan.
From Jinzhou to Guangning, we are closer to the front line. Liaoyang is the largest city in Liaodong during the Ming Dynasty, and it still maintains its lively popularity. Shenyang, the front line in the north, is in a state of chill and ready to fight at any time. .
While Jinzhou was still relatively stable, everyone purchased some fur clothes. There was no heating in Liaodong these days, and the influence of the Little Glacier was increasing day by day. The winter in Liaodong was quite scary.
During the past few days of visiting the market, Wang Hongyu saw Qin Ling and his people working intensively, seemingly pretentiously opening a store.
He was still standing there observing, and Qin Ling, who had noticed it for a long time, waved to him and told him to go over and talk about something.
"Sister Qin, do you need my help here?"
"I don't need help, but why don't you arrange a few people here to work with us on intelligence?"
Wang Hongyu opened a watch shop in the capital, which actually played a role in intelligence investigation. Qin Ling also learned a lot from it.
"I choose Guangning. If Jinzhou is located at the throat from Guannai to Liaodong, then Guangning is half a three-way intersection connecting Guannai, Liaodong and Mongolia. Although it is closer to the front line, it has better intelligence results."
Guangning is more effective in contacting Mongolia, and can certainly obtain more grassland information than Jinzhou.
Another consideration is that in the Guangning War after Liaoyang and Shenyang in history, Wang Huazhen lost most of the troops outside the customs. After losing Guangning, Xiong Tingbi directly withdrew to Shanhaiguan. Jinzhou was directly burned and most of the personnel were evacuated.
Therefore, if the intelligence station is placed in Jinzhou, it will not be safer than if it is placed in Guangning. How long will it last?
After listening to Wang Hongyu's analysis, Qin Ling realized that Jinzhou's location was slightly inferior to Guangning, so he used Jinzhou as a small commercial station and intelligence station and moved the main intelligence station to Guangning.
Just now Qin Ling talked about whether to send a few people to join the intelligence station, and Wang Hongyu thought of a few suitable candidates.
The bald old Tan is considered a tyrant in Miyun and has developed many connections in the capital. If this person is in charge of Guangning's business routes, intelligence and social relations, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Li Tiezhu's craftsmanship became more and more sophisticated, and he was proficient in forging weapons and armor. He could also make self-ringing bells and iron-core copper-bodied cannons. He was then assisted by two Fujian gunsmiths, Lu Yaoyao and Lu Zishu, to develop weapons, armor and cannon castings. Shop, make a lot of money and engage in intelligence.
Developing intelligence, raising soldiers and horses, and training a strong army all require a lot of money, so this is how it was arranged.
Wang Hongyu has a very clear grasp of historical development, and he has a complete grasp of the general context without changing the main line. Choosing Guangning instead of Jinzhou was not only due to location, but also due to this consideration.
If the battles of Liaoyang and Shenyang can be won this time, then the workshop intelligence station in Guangning can survive and grow. Later, to defeat Nurhaci will require a lot of ordnance, armor and artillery, and of course it will make a lot of money.
If the battles of Liaoyang and Shenyang are still defeated as in history, then the elite field warriors of the Ming Dynasty are no longer there, and the battle of Guangning is almost irreversible. Wang Huazhen, commanding veteran Youzi and a large group of new soldiers, cannot win the battle of Guangning. .Xiong Tingbi strengthened the walls and cleared the country, and immediately abandoned Jinzhou and many other places. Therefore, the intelligence station could not persist longer in Jinzhou than in Guangning.
Yuan Yingtai, the number one logistics expert in the late Ming Dynasty, was a loser when fighting against Nurhachi; Wang Huazhen, the number one recruiter in the late Ming Dynasty, was also a loser when fighting against Nurhachi.
The two of them are very capable in logistics and recruitment, but they are really not suitable for fighting, especially against Nurhachi and the Eight Banners. But these two are the type who don't know how to fight and like to give blind orders.
These two people also have something in common, that is, they both have a close relationship with Dong Lin.
Yuan Yingtai was not Dong Lin, but because of his good reputation, he became the target of Dong Lin's efforts to win over and unite, and he was often included in his list in the future.
Wang Huazhen was originally a member of the Donglin Party and a disciple of Ye Xianggao. However, he was later expelled from the Donglin Party because of his poor reputation and his defection to Wei Zhongxian.
Precisely because of the Donglin Party, Yuan Yingtai, whom he had taken away, came back; precisely because of the Donglin Party, Wang Huazhen could easily sideline Xiong Tingbi in the future.
Donglin Party, we are going to speed up our efforts to divide and disintegrate them. If we keep them, they will only form cliques, scold people, cause trouble, and hinder plans.
Zou Yuanbiao had already planted the seeds of discord with Zhao Nanxing and others because of Yuan Yingtai's incident. Now he was going to create a rift between them, causing further quarrels, confrontation and even a breakup.
The breakthrough lies in the authority of the court and a series of personnel arrangements.
I wrote a letter to Ai Youzhi vigorously.
The content mainly tells the actual situation of Gaohuai, Li Chengliang and others in Liaodong who exploited the land and deceived the superiors and concealed it. It is connected with the phenomenon of She'an and other chieftains in the southwest region building private kingdoms. It denounces these people for causing harm to the place and bringing the situation to this point.
.
Then he turned to the issue of official administration and appointment of officials. At present, some officials in Liaodong and southwest are sluggish, colluding with the warlord chieftains, and allowing the situation to worsen. If the official administration cannot be reversed, Sichuan and Guizhou may follow in the footsteps of Liaodong...
Calculating Ai Youzhi's psychology will definitely ignite his sympathy for the chieftain's pain and the problem of officialdom.
Zou Yuanbiao is also a man who is familiar with the Southwest and is upright and loyal. He will definitely be saddened when he knows this and wants to interfere with the arrangements of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other personnel.
This has touched the interests of other people in the Donglin Party, especially Zhao Nanxing. If I remember correctly, this person will serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel after he comes out, which is a higher position than Zou Yuanbiao's Minister of Dali Temple and Right Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Personnel
Zhao Nanxing wanted to take care of the matter, and of course he would not let Zou Yuanbiao "take care of it".
And there is another consideration. Zou Yuanbiao initiated the comeback before Zhao Nanxing, and after his comeback recommended Zhao Nanxing to Emperor Tianqi. Logically speaking, Zhao Nanxing should respect him and consider and adopt his opinions. But Zhao Nanxing is more extreme.
, will be on guard against Zou Yuanbiao, so this plan will succeed.
Wang Hongyu wrote a letter to Wei Zhongxian to complete the killing.
The content of the letter is very simple. It is recommended to appoint Zhao Nanxing to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, which will play a role of flattery and promotion.
Zou Yuanbiao first came back with a low position, and Zhao Nanxing later came back with a much higher position. Zhao Nanxing would definitely not be happy if Zou Yuanbiao interfered in personnel affairs.
Among the three giants of Donglin, if one dies and the other two start to fight, doesn't this mean they are divided?
"I have a friend who writes historical conspiracy novels. He told me that the great thing about conspiracy is not how powerful the strategy is, but the fact that the enemy doesn't know who is taking action..."
The worst way to deal with the Donglin Party is to arrest people directly and make a crime and behead them.
In other words, later Wei Zhongxian was decisive in killing the Donglin Party, but he was not smart enough and made himself the target of public criticism.
Not worth it, the effect is poor, the backlash is strong...
Let them bite each other, and then pull one part to hit the other part without letting anyone know. This is a smarter and more effective way~
