1698: Big Fish
Compared with the huge changes in Wuling County over the years, Zhaoguan, where the entire general is located, seems a little dilapidated. After Wuling entered this majestic pass, there has been basically no major changes to this important pass over the years. In Wuling's view, the original Zhaoguan was enough. It is really not worth spending a lot of money on the pass.
Influenced by Qin Feng, Wu Ling has always been disdainful of dangers and obstacles. The so-called impregnable city does not exist at all. The purpose of the existence of a powerful pass is ultimately to be broken and turned into the record of others and recorded in history.
If a person's heart is not a city.
Wu Ling quite agrees with Qin Feng's words. If the Qi people really fight to the Zhao Pass, how long can a pass be blocked?
Defending enemies outside the national gate is Wu Ling’s most basic strategy since taking office. So in the past, whether in Changzhu or in border counties such as Xiangxi, Wu Ling had only one strategy. If you get bitten, you have to bite it back. If you don’t come to harass me, I still want to cause trouble for you!
The proactive strategy has indeed achieved results. In general, the mutual harassment on the border is still the Ming people have the upper hand.
Originally, there were about 35,000 people in the Wuling War Zone, and they were stationed in three counties, Yiyang, Wuling and Taoyuan. Taoyuan was the front line, Wuling as the center, and Yiyang as the support, forming the entire ladder defense line of the Ming army in the Wuling War Zone. After the New Year, the former general of the Central War Zone, wild dog Gan Wei was transferred to the Wuling War Zone as his deputy general, and his personal guard camp Canglang Camp was also transferred to the Wuling War Zone, which further strengthened the combat effectiveness of the Wuling War Zone.
Wu Ling would not think that the wild dog was brought to him from a war zone and became a deputy general, and he thought that the wild dog was in trouble. He knew very well that the wild dog came to him for two purposes. The first was to balance his own dominance in the Wuling War Zone. Once the wild dog arrived, the troops that originally belonged to the old camp of the Ming Dynasty would naturally follow the heads of the wild dogs. Secondly, it was also the court's attention to the entire Wuling War Zone. In the future, the main battlefield would be almost placed here.
At first, Wu Ling was still worried that wild dogs were not easy to work with.
Wild dogs are typical stones in the pit, and they are stinky and hard. Except for the emperor's words, no one's words are good in his ears. What's even more unsettling is that this person is stubborn and doesn't know what planning is. Wu Ling has been operating in the entire Wuling War Zone for many years, and has long had a systematic consideration for future wars. He is worried that the wild dog will raise objections after the arrival of them, and then start over.
Secondly, Wu Ling is worried about the people and money. What Wu Ling is most worried about is that the troops will read some bad things because of these, which will have a very bad impact on the cohesion of the entire Wuling War Zone.
However, what he was worried about did not happen. After the wild dog arrived at the Wuling War Zone, he met his immediate superior in a regular manner. He did not make any comments on the daily management of the Wuling War Zone and the training and combat plan, but only required him to be stationed in Taoyuan County.
This request was not excessive, and Wu Ling immediately agreed to him. So the general, who was lame with one leg, took his Canglang camp and ran to Taoyuan County in a row.
After arriving in Taoyuan County, he had something that made Wu Ling laugh and laugh. The general wanted to stab his body in Changzhu. The governor of Taoyuan County Ben Kuan firmly opposed it. The two of them had a blushing face and thick necks. Even if the wild dogs had their necks tied up, their faces were red and their mouths were foaming, Ben Kuan still had only two words, no.
Of course, you cannot let the wild dogs be stationed in Changzhu. It is not only a commercial distribution center between the Ming and Qi countries, but also a front line for Qi countries. No one can say anything, but wherever you, a great general, will run to lay down the headquarters? This is not telling the people of Qi that we are going to have a fight!
The problem is, the Ming Dynasty is not ready to fuck them yet!
The lawsuit was fought to Wuling, and then to the emperor. The final result was that the emperor sent a guard over, brought a whip, whipped the wild dog hard, and ordered him to apologize to Ben Kuan.
The wild dog who was beaten was a bachelor. With his shirtlessness on his back, he actually swayed across the market and went to Ben Kuan's county magistrate's office to apologize. While Ben Kuan's face was soaring, he was also a little embarrassed. In the end, the wild dog stationed his headquarters in the Taoyuan County Governor's county seat. The two of them got along very well. I heard that they often gathered together to drink.
Wild Dog is a weirdo, so Ben Kuan is probably one of them. These two people don’t know each other without fighting, but now they seem to be wearing a pair of pants.
However, Wu Ling also read another meaning from this incident, that is, the emperor's trust in wild dogs is afraid that no one can compare with. The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, and the emperor rarely scolded a minister in person, let alone beat him in public. There is only one wild dog in the world who enjoys this honor.
This is not a shame, it is glory!
In terms of favoritism, he could not catch up with the wild dog even if he beats the horse. Wu Ling knew this. He was an old follower of the emperor and came out from the twilight moment together and suffered a lot for the emperor. He said that he had had a relationship with the emperor and had been against the emperor for many years.
However, Wuling war zone still has to rely on itself. The emperor still has a wise man, so sending wild dogs over is a wonderful move. First, to balance the power of Wuling. Second, the general's mind full of muscle lumps was filled with the idea of charging. He would not be able to do it even if he wanted to plan a war to destroy the country. He could not do it even if he had his life. Through close contact with the wild dog, Wu Ling was completely relieved of his deputy. In terms of major events, this person would never be unable to get along with him. He would do whatever he wanted. Anyway, he could not make a big wave. Anyway, Ben Kuan, a guy with a very hard neck. Although the two of them are very good now, if the wild dog violates Taoyuan's interests, Ben Kuan would probably roll up his sleeves and fight him immediately. Of course, he would not be able to fight, but the final result was that the emperor sent a guard to come with a whip.
A guy like Wild Dog actually married a petite and delicate wife who is as good as a flower and jade, who is knowledgeable about books and calligraphy and painting. Maybe this is what you don’t want to make up for. When the two of them stand together, they are sure to be beautiful women and wild animals. Fortunately, the wild Dog gave birth to a son. If it were a daughter, she looked like a wild dog, she would be bad.
Looking through some official documents sent by wild dogs from Taoyuan County, Wu Ling couldn't help laughing happily when he looked at the chicken-like signature behind the official documents. He only had one thing to do in Taoyuan County, that is, military training, and basically ignored other matters in the Wuling War Zone. All the official documents he sent to him were only five words at the end. When he knew, Gan Wei and Wu Ling even suspected that he had read it carefully.
The approval was made on the list of materials submitted by the wild dog. Wu Ling never delivered the requirements of the wild dog without any discount.
"General, Wu Zhengting of the National Security Bureau asked for a meeting." A personal guard pushed open the door of the public room and walked in and reported.
"Let him wait for a moment in the side hall." Wu Ling said. "I'll go over to see him later."
"Yes!" The guard turned around and left.
Wu Zhengting, the big leader of the intelligence department of the entire Wuling War Zone, is actually the local department of the newly established Ministry of State Security of the imperial court. The court is called the Ministry of State Security, and the local government is called the National Security Bureau. In fact, the Eagle Nest was changed to another name and its status was greatly increased. The Eagle Nest was previously affiliated with the Du Censorate, but now the two families are divided into two. The Du Censorate has become the Supervision Department, and the Eagle Nest has become the Ministry of State Security.
As a general, Wu Zhengting naturally does not have a high status, but strictly speaking, he does not belong to his own jurisdiction. The Ministry of State Security has its own jurisdiction system, and is nominally directly under the Political Affairs Hall, but in fact it is only under the emperor. In the Wuling War Zone, he and Wu Zhengting have more cooperative relationships. The military combat is inseparable from detailed intelligence support. From the number of troops, numbers, garrison locations, to the fluctuations in local prices, and the mobilization of civilians, they actually have to collect, analyze, and then compile and hand it over to themselves. Their effective work can greatly improve their decision-making capabilities.
Wu Ling knew that within the Ministry of State Security, there was a department specializing in military intelligence, called the Military Intelligence Department.
Generally speaking, people like Wu Zhengting rarely meet with themselves alone. I am afraid that something important is coming here today.
After thinking for a while, Wu Ling stood up, left his public housing, and walked to the side hall that specially received important guests or subordinates.
"Hello General!" Wu Zhengting greeted Wu Ling with military salute.
"General Wu, please sit down." Wu Ling waved his hand and sat down directly. "General Wu came here today. Is there something important?"
Wu Ling went straight in, and he didn't want to waste time just by mistake.
Wu Zhengting smiled on his face and nodded vigorously, "General, our intelligence personnel from Changning sent a message, and a big fish came in."
"Big fish? How big is it?" Wu Ling immediately became interested.
"Qin Li." Wu Zhengting said, "Do you think it's big enough?"
"It's really big enough." Wu Ling was overjoyed, "Have you caught his shadow?"
"So far, there is no. But I believe that he should be in Taoyuan County now." Wu Zhengting said. "My man is secretly looking for clues to this person in Taoyuan County. If this person doesn't come, it's already. Since he has come, I think Taoyuan County is definitely not his last stop. The National Security Bureau is not strong enough, so I want to ask the general to help."
"No problem, but after catching this person, our military must also send someone to participate during the interrogation." Wu Ling said.
