Two hundred and twenty seventh chapter gang leader intelligence officer
After the reorganization of the four divisions was announced, the next day the three division commanders Qi Zhuang, He Manchuan, and Zuo Mingnan led their respective subordinates to start busy with the expansion of the army, and messengers sent to various places were also running in an endless stream on the road leading to the army.
Roads in various places. [] As usual, Yask continues to be busy with city repair work. The huge Yask is like a big construction site. If it weren't for the bitter look on the faces of the people, it would be a happy and harmonious scene.
At the same time, Zhao Qiang also quickly sent the expansion and reorganization plan of the avant-garde division to Duolunchan. The specific expansion method of the avant-garde division will be discussed after Hu Wang reports the results of the eastward detachment during this period.
The military officer had already sent people to Aihui City to contact Anmar, because Zhao Qiang needed to obtain specific information on the Qing army's ration transfer. After Sun Youtian returned, he sneaked back to Shouyi City half a month later, but at that time Zhao Qiang was leading troops
During the attack on Tugursk, Sun could not see Zhao Qiang. He was received by a clerk from the Intelligence Department. According to Sun, the Eight Banners in Shengjing and Jilin were responsible for transporting rations to the Qing army, and they could only use waterways.
Other parties learned from other sources, and Anmar also knew about it. Zhang Deguang, who was placed next to Anmar, suspected that Anmar was hiding something, so he inquired privately. However, as Anmar said, Heilongjiang was not responsible for the military rations.
The transporters and transporters were all from Jilin and Shengjing, so Anmar did know the details.
The rations mobilized by the Qing army from various places were shipped in batches, so it was impossible for Zhao Qiang to rob all the rations, only part of them. Moreover, even if they robbed them all, Guan Ning's army would not be able to transport them back safely and quickly. However, they could rob them.
Part of it can be regarded as a big harvest. There is no problem in saving some for the winter. The problem now is that we don’t know the turnover stations that the military rations must pass through. This is like a blind man touching an elephant, not knowing where to start to get the biggest harvest. There is no definite news, front foot
As soon as he pounced, the food might have gone away again, so Zhao Qiang had to have accurate information before he could take action. Otherwise, he would pounce in vain and strike the grassland to scare the snakes. The Qing army was on guard, and it would be a big mistake if he tried to rob the grain again.
It’s not that easy anymore. Without food, famine and large-scale starvation are inevitable. If Zhao Qiang wants to save the tens of thousands of people at hand, he cannot allow this to happen.
The sergeant's intelligence department was set up a month ago. The person in charge of the intelligence department is a Wu Army veteran named Sun Qibiao. He is in his fifties. His hometown is not far from here, in Jinzhou. His father is Zu Dashou.
After Zu Dashou surrendered to the Guan Ning Cavalry, his father became a soldier of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Sun Qibiao inherited his father's legacy. When he was seventeen, he also joined the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and served as a soldier. He once attacked Sichuan with Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge.
, and later followed Kong Youde to attack Guangxi. After being defeated by Li Dingguo's troops, Sun Qibiao switched to Wu Sangui's army and stayed in the army ever since.
Because he had broken one of his hands in Guangxi, Sun had been serving as the leader of the group in the Wu army. Because Sun was old, had traveled south and north, had extensive experience, and was a descendant of the old Guan Ning cavalry, so although he was a member of the group.
He was a leading soldier, but he was also respected in the army. From the third year of Kangxi to the defeat of the Wu army in the eighteenth year of Kangxi, Sun had a prosperous life in the Wu army for fifteen years. After finishing what he had to do every day, he would just have a glass of wine and sing a small tune.
In one song, he wanders around happily, and he can bluff the recruits' eggs. On pay days, Lao Suntou can go to the brothels in the county to have fun. Really, one person has enough to eat, and the whole family has no worries.
According to his plan, it would be worthwhile to live like this for the rest of his life.
Old Sun had a big birthmark on his head and face, which was dark and difficult to look at. In addition, he had a broken hand, so no one would marry his daughter to him. He has been a single man for more than fifty years. In the early years, he was a single man.
There was a kind-hearted man who wanted to buy him a kiln girl as his wife, and Sun was willing to do so. Now that he was older, his thoughts were real. He was in his forties, how could he find a daughter from an innocent family, so he
He nodded in agreement and waited for the wedding with great joy. Unexpectedly, King Pingxi would raise an army half a month later. This attack would shatter Sun's dream of starting a family. After Wu Sangui raised an army to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, Sun's battalion was killed all the way from Yunnan.
He went to Hengyang, and then defeated all the way from Hengyang to Kunming. For seven or eight years, he couldn't care about anything except fighting. In the end, he was tied with a rope and sent to be a slave outside the customs to marry a wife.
It was even more difficult to think about it. After staying in Ninggu Pagoda for half a year, Sun was old and disabled and could not be considered a strong laborer, so he and a group of old and weak women and children were sent to Songshan Fort, and then followed Zhao Qiang.
After moving to the north, he has been running errands for Wei Ji Min Cao Nong Reclamation Division, and also worked as a kitchen officer for Min Cao for a period of time.
When Guo Fei was ordered by Zhao Qiang to establish the Intelligence Department, he went to each wing to select people. He wanted to select some capable personnel for the Intelligence Department.
I am willing to come to the Intelligence Department, an organization I have never heard of. At that time, Zhao Qiang was leading troops to attack Dujigensik, and he had no time to pay attention to the Intelligence Department, so Guo Fei was helpless and discussed with Wei Ji to join the people.
Cao Gesi transferred people. Wei Ji was happy and agreed to Guo Fei immediately.
Guo Fei's selection of intelligence agents is just like selecting soldiers. The first thing is to select people from Wu Jun's old army. However, the Wu Jun in Min Cao and the security team are either old and weak, or they are missing arms and legs and have retired with disabilities. How can he choose someone he wants?
After many choices, Guo Fei didn't choose anyone, and he was not very clear about the concept of intelligence. He didn't know that the best intelligence agents are the most ordinary people. He had to choose those with good looks and good skills.
No matter how he chose, he couldn't find a suitable one even if he chose for ten years. Finally, under Wei Ji's reminder, he recruited a group of free people from the Sauron, Xibo, Daur, Oroqen and other ethnic groups, and recruited a total of
More than a hundred people, and finally listened to Wei Ji's suggestion and transferred Sun Qibiao, who was running errands in the Agricultural Reclamation Department, to the Intelligence Department as director. The reason was for no other reason than that Sun Laoshi, who was older and could do things with peace of mind, had such an honest and steady person.
As long as people are here, the Intelligence Department can't do anything bad.
Not doing bad things is probably the biggest requirement that a sergeant officer, Guo Fei, has for his subordinates.
When Zhao Qiang saw Sun Qibiao, he was immediately dumbfounded and almost kicked Guo Fei out. It was not that he had any dissatisfaction with Sun Qibiao. It is difficult to return to old age. As long as he can be used, it will be fine. But the problem is that Sun Qibiao
He couldn't come up with anything, but five of the ten sentences were related to making fire and cooking, which made Zhao Qiang dumbfounded. He really understood the hardship of "it's easy to find a thousand troops, but it's hard to find a general".
Nai Gui Nai, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, what else can we do? Now that the division is expanding, people are needed everywhere. The hundreds of Wu troops who follow him to the north are all big and rough. No one can do intelligence work. Now the intelligence department's airs are also gone.
Once it's set up, it can't be withdrawn. It's a matter of taking it one step at a time. You can only cross the river by feeling the stones, and wait until the conditions are ripe and there are suitable candidates for the bags. It's better to have a shelf here than to have no shelf at all, isn't it?
A certain great man once said, "It doesn't matter whether the cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat." Under the leadership of Lao Suntou, the leader of the group, maybe the Intelligence Department can do some impressive things.
There was nothing to talk about in the conversation with Sun Qibiao. Zhao Qiang did not expect this old man to develop the intelligence career he imagined, so he could not force others to do anything. He had too many demands on him, so he asked him to manage the intelligence agents well and release intelligence regularly.
Activity money is enough. In addition, the information sent from various places must be summarized as soon as possible. Which level should be responsible should be sent to that level. Do not report beyond the level. He will not understand what he said. In the end, Sun was asked to find two
The Daur intelligence agent asked the two of them to go south immediately, disguised as hunters selling furs, and try to find out which transfer points the grain shipped from the Songhua River passed through, and report back immediately after finding out clearly.
The two Daur intelligence agents were forcibly recruited, and the whole family was in Yask, so there was no need to worry about them betraying them. In the end, Zhao Qiang encouraged Sun and the two Daur people and waved them to do their work.
Sun Qibiao had witnessed the rise of the Marshal when he was in Songshan Fort, and had also benefited from him feeding him snail meat and other things from the river for a few days, so when Guo Fei told him that the Marshal wanted to see him,
Sun was excited from the bottom of his heart. He was already so old, and he didn't know how many years he could live. He didn't expect that by working under the commander, he would not only be able to have a full stomach, but also find an official position. This was something he never dreamed of.
Something to think about.
I thought that the commander was becoming more and more majestic, but I didn't expect that the commander was approachable, and he shook his hand cordially twice and praised him. All these made Sun Qibiao still feel like he was in a dream after coming out of the commander's room.
Later, when he died of old age in Shengjing, the words he kept mumbling before his death were, "The emperor once held our hand, held our hand..."
As soon as Sun Jibiao and the others left, Guo Fei couldn't wait to pour out his grievances. He first recounted the many benefits of being a sergeant that Zhao Qiang told him, and then flattered him by saying that he was not very talented and had little knowledge.
Did the commander arrange another suitable person to take on this important task? Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qiang kicked him out and said to him: "I don't have the right person at hand. You can do it for me first and wait until I find the right person."
If you have someone else to replace you, until then, do your best for me, and if you have any other ideas, I will send you to be a post boy."
Being a postman was no different than being relegated to the cold palace. After hearing this, Guo Fei ran away without saying a word and did not dare to look for Zhao Qiang again for half a month.
"Sir, I'm here too. I'm really poor, my subordinates are all a bunch of thugs. They can't do anything. Alas."
Guo Fei was complaining about himself, and Zhao Qiang was also complaining about Liu De.
Liu De understood the Marshal's anxiety and knew what the Marshal wanted, and immediately comforted him: "Commander, don't be impatient. Talents are hard to come by. Now our Guan Ning Army is thriving, and the situation is comparable to when the Marshal first came."
Much better, as long as given time, the world's heroes will flock to me, and then the commander-in-chief will select talents and use them, and everything will be settled."
"Maybe, by the way, have our people come back from Nerchinsk?" Zhao Qiang thought about Nerchinsk. Half a month has passed, but there is no movement at all.
"Not yet. I'm counting the days. I'm afraid it's only a few days. But it's snowing in the north now and the roads are difficult. I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few days."
After listening to Liu De's words, Zhao Qiang nodded and told Liu De as he walked out: "Tell me as soon as you come back."
"Yes, Marshal."
Liu De responded later, seeing Zhao Qiang going out, he did not follow him. He also had a lot of things at hand. Now each division was undergoing expansion and reorganization, and the appointment of officers and station arrangements for each division had to be implemented as soon as possible, so he did not
