Chapter 69: Conducting Surveillance
"Brother Xiu, Lord Qianhu is here!"
Just as Li Xiu was studying military books in the study, the door was suddenly pushed open. As soon as Erwazi finished speaking, Li Ruolian walked in strode in.
"Do you really want to lead troops to fight?"
After glanced at the military books in Li Xiu's hand and the bookshelf full of books of all kinds on the bookshelf behind him, Li Ruolian couldn't help but joke.
"It's also idle. Reading more books is always good."
Li Xiu put down the military book casually, stood up and saluted, and then joked: "Master Qianhu was busy with all kinds of things, why did you suddenly remember me today?"
"You boy's good days are over..."
Li Ruolian glared at Li Xiu angrily: "The 1100th household has returned to Beijing. Now it has been resting for a few days. I'll take you to take office with me later..."
"Now, several hundred households under his command have been sent to the battlefield in Shandong. The defense in the capital is really empty. You should take office quickly, rectify it, and get things done..."
Li Xiu couldn't help asking: "How is the situation in Shandong?"
"The situation is very good now. Wang Haoxian and Hou Mingxian have explained a lot of things. With these secret information, this time, they have released a few waves of blood to the White Lotus Sect. Xu Hongru is probably the grasshopper in the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days..."
After a few words, after roughly understanding the current war situation in Shandong, Li Xiu glanced around and then came to Li Ruolian and whispered.
"Thousand Houses, this time I took office as a hundred houses, mainly to do something. Please give me some clarity first, so I'm ready..."
Hearing this, Li Ruolian's expression suddenly became a little serious. After he looked around the room, he looked at Li Xiu: "Now the group of Donglin Party and Jiu Qiansui in the court are fighting fiercely. According to the meaning of Jiu Qiansui, we are asking us to stare at the group of Donglin Party and seize their handle..."
"But the war in Shandong is still continuing, and I don't have many people. I am still in the capital now. Including your 100 households, there are only two 100 households. Those 100 households are in charge of all the important tasks, and I can't move for the time being. This time, it's up to you to deal with it. The Dongchang manuscript is not a good meal. When the war in Shandong is over, our people will be able to close them and everything will be easy to say..."
Hearing this, he didn't understand that this was to let himself do the old business of the Jinyiwei and monitor all officials, but this time, he was to monitor the Donglin Party and other people.
"Donglin Party..."
Thinking of this political group that controls the commanding heights of public opinion and makes the collusion between officials and businessmen to the extreme, Li Xiu couldn't help but frown.
Not to mention anything else, just collusion between officials and businessmen will be nothing good!
"A group of hypocritical guys think that after reading the books of sages for several years, it seems to be so great. They give guidance and inspire words. In fact, the bad things they do behind their backs are more disgusting than anyone else!"
Li Ruolian was obviously very dissatisfied with the Donglin Party members. Before Li Xiu could say more, he said a lot without hesitation.
Obviously, as a Jinyiwei Qianhu, his understanding of Donglin was obviously very profound and thorough. Otherwise, with Li Ruolian's character, he would not have been like this.
"Forget it, you will know when you come into contact with those hypocrites. There are not many good people, and the beasts in clothes are just them... Let's go, take your people with you and take the post first..."
...
With Li Ruolian's personal support, this time he took office, nothing happened.
However, the situation of this hundred-household office surprised Li Xiu.
Half of the people were injured, and there were only less than fifty people left in a whole hundred households. In addition to the few teenagers under Li Xiu, the entire hundred households had less than sixty people.
Fortunately, Li Ruolian obviously had arrangements for this situation. He also returned with dozens of young men from the Dead Soldiers who made extraordinary achievements and became regulars.
Li Ruolian was also generous. With a wave of his hand, the dozens of young men were incorporated into the hundreds of households led by Li Xiu.
Li Xiu's men had never had 60 people, but they had directly expanded but had more than 100 people.
A total of ten small flags and three general flags were composed, and Li Xiu, a real-powered 100 households, formed the rights structure of this 100 households.
As the saying goes, the emperor and the ministers are the same. This hundred-household office is in a situation where all the people are in a state of being in trouble, and it is easier for Li Xiushi to take action.
After some arrangements, Li Xiu directly arranged six of the ten small flag positions, all of whom were his trusted subordinates who had been following him for a long time.
Li Xiu was also powerless to help the position of the three general flags, so he had to force Erwazi to one of the general flags, the other two general flags, and the remaining four small flags, since Li Xiu could not control it, he did not force it, so he simply let it go, which was a way to win over the hearts of the people.
After the backbone of order was determined, the morale of the military could be said to be stable. After clarifying the internal affairs of the Hundred Houses, Li Xiu was not trying to do it. After all, the Jinyiwei had its own discipline system, but when he was in Shanyin City, he could do it at will with his tiger skin.
As for the surveillance work that Li Ruolian explained, it is quite simple. After all, this can be said to be the old profession of the Jinyiwei.
There are many people on the streets of Beijing. They have the status of Jinyiwei and can easily take these people for their own use. Moreover, since Wei Zhongxian gained power, many Donglin Party officials who went to the capital have added sand. Some were arranged by Jinyiwei and some were arranged by Dongchang.
In this case, Li Xiu naturally took over these spies and made several arrangements, and most of the more than a hundred Jinyiwei under his command were dispersed.
The surveillance matter that should have been extremely busy suddenly became idle. What I had to do every day was nothing more than summarizing the news from my subordinates and spies, but maybe it was because of the short time and no major matter was discovered.
Even so, Li Xiu has gained a lot. In the past, his understanding of the Donglin Party was superficial. Now he has mastered the matter of surveillance of Donglin and his understanding of the Donglin Party officials in the capital has finally become more and more profound.
But the more he understood, the more Li Xiu felt the horror of the Donglin Party.
Unlike the mobs like the eunuch party that exist entirely on the authority of the emperor, the Donglin Party is no exaggeration to say that it has already had the prototype of a modern political party.
Hidden in the countryside, can control the court and stir the world!
This is a big net that covers the entire Ming Dynasty by the Donglin Party with the help of collusion between officials and businessmen, masters and apprentices, lectures and shows kindness!
Although there are checks and balances among the eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian, how could Li Xiu not know the general trend of history?
As soon as the two men of Chongzhen ascended the throne, they immediately uprooted the only eunuch party that could balance Donglin, and then sacked their own martial arts. As the emperor, they actually suppressed the factory guards...
The Donglin Party will eventually lose all checks and balances, and will eventually become like a wild horse that will destroy the Ming Dynasty.
