Qiming 1158

Chapter 1398

According to Su Yin's investigation, Qiao Feng originally did not know the specific existence of the Skynet Army.

However, because he helped Shengzong, the current minister of Shangzhongshu in Shandong, to successfully climb to the top from the position of the original third-in-command, he learned of the exact existence of the Skynet Army and part of its organizational structure.

Concerned that the existence of the Skynet Army might affect the exposure of their relationship, Sheng Zong told Qiao Feng about this, hoping that Qiao Feng could do something or be more vigilant.

From this, Qiao Feng began to think of the Skynet Army, and realized that the assistance of the Skynet Army was essential to achieve great things in Zhongdu City.

It can only be said that no matter how low-key and ghostly Skynet Army acts, it is also an organization composed of people. The secret service agency can promote the prosperity of the country in a prosperous age, but it cannot restore the decline in any case.

So China fell.

The Qiaofeng Group expanded its power in Zhongdu at a speed beyond ordinary people's understanding, and soon gained a firm foothold in the imperial court and the Renaissance Society, and also reached out to the Daming intelligence system to cover their activities.

After the fall of the Central Capital, in view of the centralized nature of the Ming Dynasty, a similar situation inevitably occurred locally.

The clues of Qiaofeng Group have been extending outwards and have spread to five provinces including Shandong Province, Hedong Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, and Guanzhong Province. The third big explosion.

But then again, the previous two thunderstorms were somewhat of a shadow of the old era, but now it's a new era, and it has nothing to do with the old era, so this time, it was the first big thunderstorm in Su Yonglin's heart.

In the face of such a serious thunderstorm incident, Zhongdu was shocked, inside and out, and was extremely frightened, for fear that he would also be involved in this thunderstorm incident and become Su Yonglin's third major purge." Booty".

It has been five years since the last major cleaning, and some people had already forgotten the thunderstorms at that time, but now, Su Yonglin wants to help them recall the feeling at that time.

Because the nature of this incident was too bad and the impact was too far-reaching, Su Yonglin was shocked to realize that he had invested too little energy in some aspects, so that someone took advantage of it.

He was very annoyed.

On the first day of May in the ninth year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin formally ordered the arrest of a gang of 39 "Jiangnan elders" headed by Qiao Feng.

The pawns of the Ministry of Justice and the inspecting censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were mobilized to arrest all 39 "Jiangnan old men".

Not only will they be arrested, but relatives in the family will also be restricted from freedom, and they will not be allowed to leave Zhongdu to go anywhere until the problem is clarified and the verdict is finalized.

As soon as this incident came out, the whole court was in an uproar, and the officials of all sizes in Zhongdu City were shocked by this. The middle and low-level officials were trembling and worried, and they were very worried that this matter would involve themselves, while the middle and senior officials were even more uneasy and worried that they would be caught. implicated.

However, the official arrest of the 39 people was just a prelude.

Over time, all the officials involved in this matter from other departments in the Central Capital were taken down and handed over to a specially formed judicial team for strict trial.

Su Yonglin also assigned five capable teams to go to five provinces under the escort of the Hu Ben Imperial Army to deal with local problems. He also arrested all local officials who were implicated in the Qiaofeng Group and brought them back to Zhongdu for trial.

These people's families or people related to them are also subject to strict surveillance and restrictions, restricting movement and not allowing them to leave the area without permission until the problem is completely resolved.

At the same time, Su Yonglin demanded that the official documents of the imperial court be issued to all provinces, prefectures, county-level governments, and revival organizations at all levels in the country, to advertise the matter, and to print out the list of the arrested persons and distribute them to a large number of people. local, let local officials alert themselves.

Su Yonglin's thunder action was actually no different from the previous two, but the previous two were somewhat of a shadow of the old era.

And this time, it's a purely internal issue.

Su Yonglin also has a very clear definition of the nature of this operation - launching the most violent and ruthless attack on the enemy who has degenerated inside.

In addition to the administrative and judicial systems, within the military system, because some Fuxing members working in the Ministry of Military Affairs were involved in the Qiaofeng and Ludian criminal groups, the military system was also inevitably involved.

Because the main generals, instructors, secretaries and other positions in the army are all held by Fuxing members, and even the grass-roots officers and soldiers in the army have many Fuxing members, so in various senses, the Ming army and the Fuxing Association Inseparable from the relationship.

In particular, the Ministry of Military Affairs is mainly responsible for the management of the Renaissance members and organizations in the military. If there is a problem with the Ministry of Military Affairs, it is difficult to say that organizations at all levels in the military will have no problems.

According to the results of the interrogation, the Qiaofeng Group did not think about getting involved in the army at first, but only after contacting some cadres of the army did it come up with such an idea.

But before they could fully act, they were exposed.

It happened to be an opportunity, so Su Yonglin asked the military cadres and political cadres above a certain level in the garrison to go to Zhongdu to report their jobs in turn, and to meet some cadres who had not seen each other for a long time.

According to the principle of distance between far and near, the first thing to be dealt with is of course the cadres of the former Yanyun Corps and the current Fourth Corps, who were responsible for the garrison in the Yanyun area.

Li Xiao, the commander of the Fourth Corps, succeeded Sun Ziyi as the commander of the Corps. He is not Su Yonglin's former division, but when it comes to seniority, he even had an equal status with Su Yonglin for a while in the early days, but his affiliation was different.

Since the Mutiny and Reorganization of the Guangfu Army, he has restrained his temper, doing as little as possible and speaking less. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he was also the only general among the top generals of the Ming Army who was not a member of the Renaissance.

It's just that the military exploits and other achievements are also good, but they are slightly better than Sun Ziyi, and they can't reach the other four. Therefore, Li Xiao's statement of the early five tiger generals is still not very popular with everyone.

Li Xiao himself didn't care, and he didn't even care that he was questioned by the mainstream opinion in the army, so his position in the Fourth Corps was not as stable as that of the other generals.

However, the Privy Council, the General Staff Headquarters, and the Military Affairs Department of the Revival Society all believed that this was not a bad thing. As the garrison of the Central Capital Region, the Fourth Corps was more willing to obey Su Yonglin rather than the general's orders. Perhaps it was also a good thing.

Li Xiao himself is also very happy to take up this slightly awkward position.

However, in the seventh year of Hongwu, after being recommended by his old friend Zhou Zhi, Li Xiao participated in and passed the examination for the membership of the Renaissance, and officially became a member of the Renaissance. After that, he became a principal-level cadre in the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Although Li Xiao is already a veteran in the eyes of the outside world, because he is a "newcomer" in the Renaissance Society, his position level in the Renaissance Society can only be regarded as a grassroots cadre, and even many are several years younger than him. Younger members are not as good.

But he is also calm, never fighting or robbing, never pursuing promotion, and hardly making a sound. If he doesn't pay special attention on weekdays, the big guy won't even feel his existence.

"A lot of people outside are saying that you are simply the second Sun Ziyi, and they also say that after Sun Ziyi resigns, you are his most suitable successor, making me laugh and cry, although you are not from my old school, But it's not that hard to survive, is it?"

Su Yonglin poured a cup of tea for Li Xiao himself, and Li Xiao hurriedly got up to take it and thanked him.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, this minister is just doing what he should do, that's all."

"Of course it's good to do what you should do, but there are some things you don't need to pay too much attention to."

Su Yonglin sat next to Li Xiao with a smile, and said, "Among the things Qiao Feng explained, there is a part about you. He explained that it is not that no one in the Yanyun Corps knows about the existence of the circle of veterans, and some people have passed various relationships. He contacted him through channels, but he thought that you should be the most interested in this, but you never tried to contact him from beginning to end."
