Chapter 1397: The joy of the Eagle's Nest
Guo Jiuling looked at the information from Shangjing City and laughed happily. At his side, the two deputy commanders, Tian Kang and Tian Zhen, were also very happy.
Luo Liang, the general of Chu State, defeated Kunling County and was beheaded. Yang Qing was ordered to assassinate Ning Zhiwen, but he was with Ning Zhiwen and never saw anyone or a corpse. The entire Shangjing City was in a state of fear. Emperor Min Ruoying was even more shocked and angry. You know, these two people he trusted most now and there was no one to replace them.
Although Luo Liang led his troops to suffer many defeats, he was the one who was most at ease with Min Ruoying. Luo Hu and Luo Bao were the actual controllers of the soldiers. Now these three people are actually defeated in a battle.
Yang Qing is the leader of the inner guard and controls the largest intelligence force of Chu. He is all over the world. He is not only responsible for external intelligence, but also for internal surveillance.
The two died and disappeared in a short period of time. It is conceivable that the attack on Min Ruoying was crazy. "Min Ruoying was so angry that she was in a state of unjust imprisonment in the capital. The important officials and senior officials were in danger of being in danger. People were afraid of panic. Even Ma Xiangnan was sprayed by Min Ruoying in court meetings. She was ashamed and covered her face and retreated. Now she is sick and not celebrating her courtship!" Guo Jiuling laughed with her snow-white beard.
Of course he was extremely proud. From the beginning of planning to the final implementation, these two things were promoted by the Eagle Nest, which was the most important step for the Ming Dynasty to annex the Chu State, and gradually cut off Min Ruoying's most capable subordinates. All plans now seem to be completed so perfectly.
Of course, Ning Zhiwen's incident was an accident. No one expected that someone would have the idea to Ning Zhifeng. Such figures that were about to be forgotten by everyone in the Ming Dynasty would be stained with a small stain in the actions of this series.
Of course, this does not affect the advantageous situation formed by the Ming Dynasty over the State of Chu. The only possible impact is the pattern of the confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and Qi in the future.
What everyone knows are the great military achievements of the Ming army, elite and fearless soldiers, and excellent and powerful weapons. However, few people know the indispensable position of the Ming Dynasty's intelligence agency Eagle Nest in the rise of the Ming Dynasty. Decisive victory on the battlefield often relies on accurate intelligence in the past. In the past, the operation of countless darkness was carried out, and the glory of fireworks flashed in the end.
Those who are good at fighting have no reputation. It is called an institution like the Eagle Nest. No matter how great their contributions they make, there are very few people who know them. Most of the people of the Ming Dynasty do not even know the existence of an institution like the Eagle Nest.
In Guo Jiuling's words, if a spy detective has a reputation that is well-known throughout the world, then he has failed and will never be able to gain a foothold in this industry and can only retreat to the second line.
"There are no leaders in the Chu country. Now they are in a state of chaos. Several deputy commanders want to sit on Yang Qing's guards. They fight hard first. The commander is the next step for us to talk about it." Tian Kang's low voice rang.
Tian Zhen looked at Tian Zhen with a little jealousy. This man was just a leader under his command in charge of intelligence, but now he has steadily suppressed himself. Although the two are now at the same level as the official positions, the power in their hands is completely incomparable. Tian Kang controls all the foreign spy exploration institutions of the Ming Dynasty. More importantly, he has the Hawk Falcon in his hands. This is a secret special combat force of the Hawk Nest. Although the number of people is not large, it can be said that the combat power is definitely the only one in the world. Even after seeing the Hawk Falcon's daily training and some cases, Emperor Qin Feng said that the Hawk Falcon's combat power is stronger than that of the Fire Death Camp.
Put these two armies on the plains to fight against each other, the Fire Death Camp can win after paying a heavy price, but if the two armies are thrown into a battlefield environment with extremely complex geography and weather, the Hawk will win completely.
But it is precisely because of this selection and strict training that the fighters of the Hawks are extremely difficult to obtain. So far, the Hawks have never exceeded one thousand. Most of the time, they are distributed in groups in various places. Once they are concentrated together, the combat effectiveness they can exert is extremely terrifying.
Tian Zhen once thought that he could take over as the commander of the Eagle Nest after Guo Jiuling, but Tian Kang came from behind, which made Tian Zhen angry. However, after repeated thoughts, he finally realized that the reason why he was defeated by Tian Kang was not because of his lack of talent, but because of his complex background and the power standing behind him. These seemingly powerful support were the obstacles that really hindered him to reach the top. The particularity of the Eagle Nest destined that his highest leader could not have a complex background, and the lonely minister was the characteristic of this character in his position.
This is true for Guo Jiuling.
The same is true for Tian Kang.
Tian Kang and his wife were abandoned by Shayang County, but Qin Feng was unearthed from the mud and became the pillars of the Eagle's Nest. Although Tian Kang and his wife were both from Shayang County, deep down, they were afraid they were resentful to the five great masters of Shayang County.
After understanding this, Tian Zhen felt relieved. He could not give up his family, nor could he give up the help behind it. Then, he could only give up this position.
Ranked second in the Eagle Nest, and I should be satisfied with myself in charge of domestic affairs. No matter which senior official in China is, wouldn’t he be polite when he sees me?
Hearing the next plan that Tian Kang said, Tian Zhen immediately stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Commander, I'll take my leave first."
Guo Jiuling nodded: "Okay, Brother Tian, help me to welcome the Yingdu Censor Jin."
"Yes!" Tian Zhen nodded and Taishan walked out calmly.
Looking at Tian Zhen’s back, Tian Kang was a little uneasy. “Commander, Deputy Commander Tian actually has no need to avoid it. How can we not trust him? Is he still a little dissatisfied with me?”
"Wrong." Guo Jiuling smiled and shook his head: "This is precisely he expressing kindness to you. Tian Kang, to be honest, in terms of qualifications, he is much higher than you, and in terms of ability, he is not worse than you, but in this position of command, he is destined to be out of reach with him. I have always been worried that he will compete with you. It seems that he has figured out this problem himself, which is the best. When I retreat, everyone can still be harmonious, otherwise I will have to take him down before I retreat, which will inevitably hurt my colleagues' friendship for many years."
Tian Kang lowered his head, "It's all the love of His Majesty and the Commander."
"It's not like this if you don't have the ability to support love. Naturally, you can't have this opportunity. You also know that it's not easy to sit in this position under the command of the Eagle Nest. You must be mentally prepared to take the blame at any time. Tian Kang, maybe one day, you will be in this position and will not be able to end up in a good position. I just hope that you don't hate me for helping you in this position."
"This life was given by Your Majesty. I am loyal to Your Majesty. Tian Kang has no resentment at all." Tian Kang said with a smile and relaxed.
Guo Jiuling smiled and patted his shoulder: "I hope you have this mentality. Now our Ming Dynasty is still unanimous to the outside world, and many contradictions cannot be revealed. After the Ming Dynasty unified the world, the difficulties of this position will be truly reflected. I can't see a day, but you will definitely see it. This position, haha..."
Tian Kang smiled slightly, but did not respond to this: "Commander, since we even concealed this matter with Deputy Commander Tian, why do we let Master Du Censor know that although our Eagle Nest is nominally a subordinate of the Censorate, in fact, they mainly supervise domestic affairs, and the Censorate has never been able to interfere in the external and military aspects. Although I know that Lord Jin has always wanted to do this, we have all asked us to surrender. Now you take the initiative to invite him over, wouldn't you open the door to inviting thieves? Lord Jin is such a huge request!"
"The reason why I didn't let Lord Jin's Censorate intervene in military intelligence and foreign spy probation before was because the Censorate is a huge yamen. Once there are too many people, there will be mud and sand, and it is difficult to ensure that the secret will not be leaked. Even in the future, I am not going to let Lord Jin reach out to these two aspects."
"Mr. Jin is very annoyed. I am afraid there are many comments from the emperor." Tian Kang was a little worried. "The commander, this person is a famous vengeful person. He is targeted by him and he is not at ease to sleep."
"So what? Isn't it that the emperor is laughing at me!" Guo Jiuling said with a smile: "He wants to reach out, at least it's not possible now. Tian Kang, you must remember in the future that our two institutions will only be responsible to the emperor before the Ming Dynasty unified the world. As for the future, let's talk about the situation. Anyway, I will not be here by the time being, and I will not be able to give you any advice."
Faced with such irresponsible statement from the commander, Tian Kang could only respond with a wry smile.
"Since that's the case, why should Lord Jin know about this task with such a high secret level?"
"Because your little shoulder can't hold it!" Guo Jiuling said lightly: "So, Lord Jin's thick big shoulder should be pushed. Tian Kang, what we did this time is actually a taboo. One day, once it explodes, you will be overwhelmed by the spits. At that time, it is probably someone on my grave will be tall, so it doesn't matter, but you are different. If there is no one like Lord Jin to push you, maybe you will be ruined. Do you understand?"
Tian Kang took a deep breath and nodded to show that he understood.
"Mr. Jin has always wanted to reach out to our core department. This time, he knew it was a pitfall, but he would definitely take it with pleasure. He is a real lonely and loyal minister. Now that he has taken it, he will never be ruthless in the future. Tian Kang, in this position, he must not only be brave and resourceful, but also have a considerable sensitivity and forward-looking nature in politics. You must also learn more about this." Guo Jiuling said earnestly.
