Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 662

"Know the enemy and know yourself, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." This is a famous saying of Sun Tzu.

At all times and in all over the world, military strategists of all dynasties have attached great importance to "knowing the enemy".

The famous military strategist Jomini said: "If you want to win the war, the safest and most reliable way is to wait until the enemy has completely correct intelligence before taking action." "

Therefore, knowing the enemy is the basis and premise of all combat operations, and it is also one of the objective foundations for determining the strategy to control the enemy.

War directors, when formulating military action plans, deploying troops, and planning major battles, always put the study of the enemy's situation at the top of the list.Numerous war practices have shown that familiarity with the opponent's advantages, reality, strength, etc., in a certain sense, has a decisive impact on the outcome of the war.

Only by truly knowing the enemy can we correctly use soldiers and weapons, skillfully use various combat methods, properly organize offensive and defensive battles, use our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, and win by surprise.

Just as Guan Zi said: "Therefore, if you don't know the enemy's politics, you can't join the army (don't easily enter the army), if you don't know the enemy's feelings, you can't make an appointment (don't easily arrange a battle), if you don't know the enemy's generals, you can't advance the army. (Don't act lightly), those who don't know the enemy, don't go first (don't easily line up to fight)."

Wei Liaozi also said: "Where an army is launched, the power inside and outside must be examined to plan its removal." That is to say, the gains and losses of both the enemy and ourselves must be considered in advance before deciding whether to send troops.That is to say, only by understanding the situation can there be a basis for decision-making.

This kind of investigation of the situation of the enemy and ourselves before making a decision, Sun Tzu said more clearly: using spies to collect information "the three armies act according to what they believe in."

Any emperor has his own intelligence organization, because only in this way can he know himself and the enemy, and in this way he can maintain his rule. The establishment of these organizations is to maintain the stability of the imperial power, eradicate dissidents, and monitor important ministers.

Li Shimin's unscrupulous people, as well as internal guards, are such organizations, professional organizations used by bad people to collect military and political intelligence.

And now that Li Shimin is not in the palace, Zhang Jing's rights have been improved again. Not only does he need to collect innocence, but he also has the right to investigate and arrest him. After public interrogation, they can be arrested, but not executed.

This right extends to princes and nobles, relatives of the emperor, down to ordinary officials, and ordinary people.

Bad people can be dealt with directly.Moreover, bad people are only responsible to the emperor and no one has the right to intervene. Of course, these are all in secret, and the rights of bad people are not disclosed on the surface. If it is really made public, it will cause some turmoil in the court.

In addition to this bad person, there is also Yang Qu's inner guard, who also has great power. The main function of the inner guard is to monitor Li Tang's royal family, including bad people. This is Li Shimin's insurance for bad people.

Li You traveled from the future, so he is very aware of the importance of information, which is why Li You established the Sticky Rod Office very early on. Speaking of Sticky Pole Office, it is actually a notorious organization.

It was originally a small team in Yongzheng, and the creation of sticky poles had nothing to do with power at first.It's interesting to say that Yongzheng was so quiet when he was young, and he didn't like noisy sounds.

Yongzheng was still the prince Yinzhen at that time, and he lived in Dorobelle's mansion, where there were many big trees.

Whenever it is hot summer, there must be cicadas singing.And Yinzhen has the habit of taking a nap, so noisy, he can't fall asleep at all.

Then there was a group of people who went to catch cicadas on trees, sticking sticks and sticking sticks. As the name suggests, they use wooden sticks to stick cicadas on trees, which is quite vivid.In addition to catching cicadas, these people will also accompany the prince to catch dragonflies, catch fish, and engage in some entertainment activities.This is the sticky rod, the initial prototype.

In the 48th year of Kangxi, Yinzhen ushered in the first turning point in his life.Emperor Kangxi finally noticed this son out of some consideration.Promote Yinzhen, who was originally Dorobel, to Prince Yong.What was the general environment at that time?Emperor Kangxi has been in power for 60 years, and the prince has both sides and abolition, but he still can't decide on the candidate for the new prince.What made the princes most anxious was that Emperor Kangxi was not in a hurry, so the people below couldn't sit still.

Especially in such a sensitive period, Emperor Kangxi actually promoted Yinzhen, and his intention was already obvious.Kangxi's move made the already fierce battle between the princes even more intense, which is the famous "nine sons seize the heir apparent" in history.

Yinzhen is a smart person, he knows that he is in the dark now, there are countless eyes watching his every move, if he is a little sloppy, he will lose everything.So, he thought of turning passive into active, and created a real "sticky place".

On the bright side of the sticky pole, he still accompanied Yinzhen to catch cicadas and play around, but secretly, he actively searched for information everywhere and passed it on to Yinzhen in private.In this way, although Xu Zhen appeared calm on the surface, in fact, he already had the aura of a decisive emperor behind his back.

On the way to the throne, the sticky pole not only provided information, but also removed many obstacles for Yinzhen.There is also an alias for the sticky stick, which is called "Blood Droplet". The code word is someone who sweeps away everything, hinders or may hinder Yinzhen.It can be said that Yinzhen was able to become the later Emperor Yongzheng, and the stick was in this period and made outstanding achievements.

The reason why Li You named his intelligence organization the Sticky Rod was actually because he wanted to clear away all obstacles for himself. Li You is not a murderer, but Li You has his own reason.

Li You is very clear that there is no family affection in the Tian family, so Li You will not entrust his fate above family affection. What Li You needs more is his own strength, and Li You's dirty sword sticks to the pole , Li You must hold it tightly.

If you want to enter the sticky pole, you need two requirements. First, you must be a member of Dunhuafang, and you must be a member of the first two batches. There are relatives living in Dunhuafang at home. The second is juàn, which means alert A person who excels, and who enters the sticky pole must be a person with eyesight in doing things.

In addition to these superficial conditions, hidden things like having a good body, being clean and self-cleaning, etc., are the basic requirements.

The requirement for selecting candidates at the sticky pole is not just to set up a limit, but to: "To build up the youthful vigor and vigor, so that you can learn all kinds of hard work, so that you can choose the guards of the city in the future." That is to say, to be able to enter the sticky pole. The members at the pole are all preparing for becoming dead soldiers or spies in the future.

Therefore, when setting up the threshold, increase the difficulty.It can ensure that the soldiers and spies in the future will have superior abilities and serve the emperor better.

There is no specified number of members at the sticky pole, as long as they meet the requirements, they can enter.According to the ranking of official ranks, from top to bottom, they are senior colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, and second lieutenant. The lowest rank is second lieutenant, so how powerful are these people?
The senior colonel basically has the right to be a general, and so does the colonel, the lieutenant colonel, and the major are the regimental generals. By analogy, Li You's sticky pole is still very weak in the early stage, but about seven or eight months ago, Lan Lian was added to this After sticking to the pole, the strength of sticking to the pole has made a qualitative leap.

What Lan Lian used to do was assassination business. Although some people didn't want to do it anymore, there were still some people who were willing. The factor of sticking to the pole is strengthened at once, and the ability of sticking to the pole is improved.

The Golden Crow Sect appeared after the ability of the sticky pole was improved. Huo Zun desperately started to promote the Golden Crow Sect, but Huo Zun never thought that when he was desperately promoting the Golden Crow Sect and was determined to strengthen the Golden Crow Sect, In his Golden Crow Sect, there were already people from the sticky pole, and that Wang Shaoyang was actually contacted by the sticky sticky person.

Huo Zun never dreamed that he was desperately deifying Li You in the Golden Crow Sect, and made the members of the Golden Crow Sect worship Li You desperately. He originally thought it would be a fatal blow to Li You, but now he wants to become someone else's wife. Clothes.
