Chapter 1352 He overestimated his opponent

After the meeting, Su Yonglin secretly summoned Ma Ziang, the leader of the third operation team of the Skynet Army, who was active in the Lingnan area, to hold him accountable.

Su Yonglin wanted to ask him why he did not report some problems in the Guangzhou area to the central government.

Ma Ziang was very disturbed by this, apologized to Su Yonglin, and then shared his difficulties.

"Since the sixth year of Hongwu, the Skynet Army Headquarters began to order the third action team to shift the main investigation direction from the interior of Lingnan to the countries south of Lingnan, especially the Li clan of South Vietnam, as well as the Champaign, including Chenla. The farthest country is the Three Buddhas Qi.

Not only that, when the Seventh Action Group was operating in Sichuan and Sichuan, a certain number of the Third Action Group spies went to support, and the manpower was further reduced. Although the Third Action Group also had the responsibility to detect the illegal acts of local officials, there were indeed many people on hand. Insufficient, so…”

"Is this the request of the Skynet Army Headquarters?"

"Yes, these are the clear requirements of the Skynet Army Headquarters. The third action group is to obey orders."

After listening to Ma Zian's explanation, Su Yonglin felt a little helpless.

The training of spies is actually no easier than training a cadre. Even in the early days of the Skynet Army, many key personnel were transferred from the Revival Society.

Besides, a few founders, such as Su Yin, were trained by the Su family to be professional spies since childhood, and most of them were monks.

At present, the number of spies in the entire Skynet Army system is actually not many. There are thirteen action groups, and the total number is less than [-].

The reason why Skynet Army's eyes can spread all over the world is because many Skynet Army spies can often find collaborators in his industry or environment, and ask these peripheral members to help them with or without their knowledge.

As for the growth of members, they mainly rely on the old to bring the new, and they are recommended to join. The spies select excellent, capable and talented members from the peripheral members to develop into official Skynet Army spies.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the funds were tight and there were not enough manpower to handle affairs. The personnel training of the Skynet Army mainly depended on itself. It was not until the fifth year of Hongwu that the secret agent training school under the Skynet Army was secretly funded by the Ministry of Finance and secretly established.

A series of outside members of the Skynet Army were recommended to study in the training school, and some secret agents themselves also chose to go to the school to receive in-depth re-education to improve their professional level.

So far, the Skynet Army has a stable reserve talent training system.

Everyone is busy and busy, hoping to cultivate more excellent spies for the Ming Dynasty, to spy on the enemy's intelligence externally, and to find out the corrupt officials and traitors internally.

It's just that the number of people is still limited, the training speed is not so fast, and many aspects are short of manpower.

And of course they have things they can't do, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would be able to rely on Jinyiwei to govern the country, and Daiying wouldn't be one-way transparent infiltrated by the Soviet Union on the premise of having a "famous" intelligence organization like MI[-].

To put it bluntly, the intelligence organization cannot save the country's demise, and no matter how strong the spy chief is, it is nothing but a dagger.

So Su Yonglin stretched out his hand to support Ma Zianang, sighed, and said helplessly: "I also have too much expectations for you, many times, the government and the Renaissance Association cannot give me information, so I can only place my hopes on you. , I am more concerned with internal chaos than external threats.

To put it bluntly, I don’t think there is any other country that can threaten Daming’s security from the outside. Daming’s army is enough to crush them. What I worry about is nothing more than some internal chaos that makes us self-defeating. That’s why I need you. . "

Ma Ziang looked ashamed.

"The incompetence of the subordinates makes the chairman worry."

Su Yonglin shook his head.

"It's not all your problem, but also mine. Although intelligence is important, there are always things that intelligence can't do, Zi Ang, don't blame yourself too much, I will find a way to replenish your manpower. All in all, external If you want to spy, you need to keep an eye on the inside."

"I understand."

Ma Ziang nodded and turned to leave.

After he left, Su Yonglin thought about it and felt that it was still necessary to regard this matter as an important national hidden danger.

Like the issue of cadres, at present, the entire internal problems of the Ming Dynasty are mainly reflected in the fact that the number of cadres is not enough and the quality of the cadres is uneven. Many local problems can be attributed to this reason.

And this reason has to involve some historical problems, such as Su Yonglin's success in the uprising is too fast, Wanyan Liang's god-like operation caused Jin Guo to collapse too fast, so that Su Yonglin did not have enough time to train enough cadres. Start the process of governance.

In the beginning, Su Yonglin planned to seize the window of Wanyan Liang's death so that the revolution could gain a firm foothold, establish a regime in Shandong or the Central Plains that confronted Jin, and use five or ten years to strengthen himself and defeat Jin. country.

He did have the idea of ​​tearing up the Jin Guo regime in a short period of time, but he himself felt that this was unlikely. Su Yonglin, who first noticed the Jin Guo collapse trend, was once excited, but he quickly recovered, feeling this Not necessarily an absolute good thing.

If Jin Guoren insisted for a longer time, then there would be relatively sufficient time for him to train enough cadres and let these cadres have enough fighting experience.

But in a sense, he overestimated his opponent.

He thought that under his own offensive, his opponents could last five or six years or seven or eight years at least, but who would have thought that in just three years, the class contradictions, ethnic contradictions and internal contradictions within the ruling class would all break out. , which directly blew Jin Guo into pieces.

Su Yonglin himself wondered if his tactics against Jin Guo were too sharp, so that Jin Guo, a semi-slave and semi-feudal country that had not even completed feudalization, could not hold on at all, so it collapsed prematurely.

Everyone has collapsed. If you don't stand up to establish political power, wouldn't you be a fool?

Su Yonglin stepped up to establish a regime. In order to complete the excesses and not stimulate the Southern Song Dynasty in advance, he even managed the Central Plains and Yanyun in the name of the Restoration Army and the General Affairs Bureau of the Central Capital.

Due to the lack of reliable and excellent cadres, Su Yonglin had to accept the old bureaucrats and gentry in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, which triggered the corruption case and the first major purge in the second and third years of Hongwu, and then buried the ground for the second purge. Foreshadowing.

After that, in order to fill the vacancy in the number of cadres, the training of cadres could only be further accelerated. Although Su Yonglin repeatedly emphasized the need to tighten the standards, it is completely self-contradictory to tighten the standards while speeding up.

Therefore, in actual implementation, the fundamental is to relax the standards and speed up the pace, in order to pursue high-speed cadre output to fill the current shortage of grass-roots cadres and officials.

This dumpling-style training speed of cadres will of course cause problems. Warships and sea ships can make dumplings, but cadres cannot.

It's just that under the current state, Su Yonglin has no other choice in order to have someone to do things. Moreover, the cadres trained at a high speed are not necessarily unqualified.

The lesser of the two evils, he can only choose to launch multiple rectification campaigns in the future, and gradually expel this group of unqualified cadres to correct the mistakes he has made at present.

So what should be done about the consequences of the various wrongdoings in the current state?

What should be done about the pain caused by these wrong people and things to the people?

Su Yonglin sighed, helplessly realizing that he also had something that he couldn't solve no matter what.
