After Liu Jun returned from the palace, he returned to the Zhili Governor's Office outside Xuande Gate. As soon as he entered the official hall, Liu Jun immediately sent someone to summon Luo Ping'an. When his former intelligence adjutant came, Liu Jun put down the official documents in his hand and asked him to sit down.

"Are you still used to staying in the Jinyiwei?"

Luo Ping'an was wearing a flying fish suit and carrying an embroidered spring knife, and the standard Jinyiwei lieutenant outfit. He saluted Liu Jun, then sat down, and replied, "I didn't expect that one day I would wear a flying fish suit and carry an embroidered spring knife to be an Embroidered spring guard."

"The Jinyiwei's reputation in the past was indeed not good, but that was the past. The Jinyiwei is very important, we need it. I will transfer you to the Jinyiwei and hope you can understand my intention."

"I understand."

The Jinyiwei was a transcendent existence in the Ming Dynasty and was once notorious. However, since the Chongzhen Dynasty, it has been relatively low-key. Since Liu Qiao became the commander of the Jinyiwei, Liu Jun has gradually taken control of the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei was a very special institution. It was called Wei, but it was different from ordinary Weiwei. It was predecessored by the Gongwei Department established by Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning of the founding of the country, which was equivalent to the emperor's personal guard. Later, it was subordinated to the Yiluan Office, which was responsible for the emperor's reliance. By the fifteenth year, the Jinyiwei was officially established. The Jinyiwei had the responsibility of guarding the guards and the responsibility of being responsible for the emperor's ceremonial ceremony and the emperor's patrol.

The Han general in the Jinyiwei was the guard of honor and personal guard of the Ming Dynasty, with more than a thousand people.

Because the Jinyiwei was the emperor's personal bodyguard, he was responsible for protecting the emperor and also took on the task of secret investigation and spying on intelligence. Later, the Jinyiwei had two central security guards in the north and south, and the Nanshifushi mastered the laws and military disciplines of the Jinyiwei's own guards, and at the same time controlled the military craftsmen who made weapons.

The Beizhenfusi was responsible for secretly detecting civil and military officials in secret, and was also responsible for surveillance of vassal kings and counter-espionage tasks. By the Chenghua period, the Beizhenfusi seal was added, and all prisons did not have to be imprisoned by Bai Benwei.

The Beizhen Fushi has its own imperial prison, which can be arrested, tortured, and executed by itself without going through ordinary judicial institutions, becoming a distorted existence.

The Jinyiwei system is also very large, with three departments: North and South Town and Fushi Department and the Jury Department. There are fourteen departments, and at most seventeen departments, with tens of thousands of people.

However, when the Beijing Army was rectified before Chongzhen's death, the responsibility of the Jinyiwei to directly drive the guards was cancelled. The only responsibility of patrol and arrest was left, and it became a special intelligence agency.

By the time Liu Jun entered Beijing, the Jinyiwei also underwent several adjustments again. By now, the Jinyiwei had completely stopped the responsibility of guarding the guards and became a pure intelligence investigation agency. Its subordinates were responsible for sending and receiving official documents and intelligence analysis. The Nanzhen Fushi Department was responsible for special operations such as collecting intelligence and assassination in areas outside the Ming Dynasty. The Beizhen Fushi Department was responsible for surveillance of royal family members, civil and military officials, military and civilians within the Ming Dynasty, as well as counter-espionage, and investigation of criminal cases with severe impact.

The north and south towns and Fushima City each have five wards.

The responsibilities of the Jinyiwei have been greatly adjusted, and at the same time, a round of internal sanctions have been carried out, cleaning up many children of meritorious relatives and clearing out those idle officials with salaries who are named. The most important thing is that their responsibilities have changed from the first-most-most-most-most-most-most-most-most-most-the-most-most-the-most-the-most-the-most-the-most-the-internal intelligence investigation.

The Jinyiwei was also the only guard that was retained after the imperial court abolished the garrison. Although the guards were retained, they were reduced from the original fourteen to ten. Moreover, all the military positions of the hereditary guards were removed, and all the officials with free salary were cancelled.

During this rectification process, Liu Jun transferred many people from the Chu army and recruited a lot of people. It can be said that now Liu Jun no longer only controls the Jinyiwei through Liu Qiao, but is truly intervening in controlling the Jinyiwei affairs.

After going through the Ministry of State and the North and South Town Fusi, as well as the following offices, there were people from the Chu army in all aspects.

Although the Chu army also has its own intelligence system, the Jinyiwei sign is still good. Sometimes, when doing things, using this brand, it will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Especially the Jinyiwei had the right to reconnaissance, arrest and interrogation. Any officials, military and civilians who threatened the imperial power were within their scope of investigation and punishment. Even when arresting people, they did not need to go through the procedures of the Three Courts of the Foreign Court, and could directly arrest people and go to the Jinyiwei Imperial Guard.

This is an excellent tool and it is also a power that Liu Jun’s own intelligence agency does not have.

Liu Jun's intelligence adjutant Luo Ping'an is now one of the five thousand households and chief officials under the Jinyiwei North Fufu Department.

"I believe you have heard that the court has decided to abolish the two towns of Jinzhou and Guangning. It is necessary to transfer Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou to Beijing. I guess these two people will not be so obedient. They must do something and even rebel. I need you to send someone to western Liaoning to find out the movements of the Liao army in advance. If they really go to that point, I hope to know in advance."

Luo Ping'an nodded, "Why do I personally lead an operation team and secretly sneak into Guangning to get rid of these two people."

Liu Jun waved his hand, "If I need to assassinate them, I won't call you here. I'll just call the people from the Nanzhen Fushishi to act. Just ask you to go, just let you investigate the trends clearly. You can't assassinate these two people. Don't worry, even if they really rebel, it's not a big deal. Since I dare to take and withdraw the two towns, I've considered this possibility long ago."

"Do you want to send someone to stare at Wu Xiang?"

"No need." Liu Jun knew Wu Xiang's recent actions very clearly, and knew that Wu Xiang had been persuading Wu Sangui, and understood that this guy was still very smart. "I have another task to you, which is also the task of the entire Jinyiwei. You must do your best to investigate officials related to salt affairs, especially those big salt merchants. I need you to grasp their illegal affairs, and it is best to be more threatening."

Although the emperor, Wu Yan and Liu Zongzhou agreed to Liu Jun's salt contracting plan, this was a snatch of meat from the rice bowls of the salt merchants and many powerful officials, so Liu Jun did not expect these people to cooperate obediently and hand over the fat piece of meat.

"I understand." Luo Ping'an received the order and left.

After he stepped back, Liu Jun picked up the official document on the desk and looked at it. As he looked, Liu Jun frowned.

This is a memorial from Feng from the Privy Council, which was transferred by Fu Shan. The content is the battle situation in Henan. Li Zicheng besieged Luoyang last year, and Liu Jun sent Zhang Shan as the commander-in-chief of Henan bandit suppression. As a result, after a few months, Luoyang was still surrounded, and the situation did not ease at all.

Zhang Shan reported to the Privy Council that the local civil and military officials in Henan were unwilling to cooperate at all, neither supplying food and wages nor providing civilians. They even closed the city and refused to accept it after Zhang Shan led his troops into Henan.

And none of the local government troops in Henan were willing to obey the order.

In particular, the Henan general Zuo Liangyu not only refused to obey Zhang Shan's orders, but even retreated to the junction of Henan and Hubei, and even robbed a village in Huangzhou Prefecture. Therefore, Zhang Shan had to guard against Zuo Liangyu, who had to send troops to guard against Zhang Shan, and also brought his own civilians to transport artillery, food and food.

Zhang Shan was always worried that Zuo Liangyu would lead his troops to Hubei to rob when he led his troops to Luoyang to rescue the siege.

Zuo Liangyu's army was mostly a bandit who surrendered, and it was seriously over-the-job. His troops were 30,000, but he actually had more than 80,000 people. Especially this army had no military discipline, and was even more undisciplined than the bandits. He had always relied on robbery to provide military supplies.

Zhang Shan was not afraid of Li Zicheng, and Zuo Liangyu, who was most worried, stabbed the knife in the back at the critical moment. He was not concerned about the rescue of Luoyang, and was only concerned about Hubei and was unable to arrive in Luoyang for a long time.

Fu Shan gave Liu Jun the advice to transfer Zuo Liangyu from Henan, but Liu Jun did not agree with this proposal. Liu Jun is no stranger to Zuo Liangyu, who was Liu Jun's immediate boss at the time.

This man was considered a general with rich combat experience in the Ming army. He was also a powerful general who dared to fight against the Qing army, especially the most battles with the bandits. Moreover, Zuo Liangyu had a characteristic that other generals liked to eat empty salaries, but Zuo Liangyu liked to expand the bandits the most. He liked to surrender the defeated bandits, and his army was always over-the-top.

His army was also the worst military discipline, but his soldiers were the ones who believed him the most. Every time he was defeated, he could quickly pull up the team. Although the court repeatedly criticized him, he was demoted at most every time, so he was allowed to continue to commit crimes and make meritorious service.

Such a guy is just a piece of hob meat. He knows very well what is the foundation of his life in this world. The army is the foundation of his life, and he knows very well that it is difficult to transfer him away.

Liu Jun picked up his pen and began to write letters to Zhang Shan.

After spreading out the letter paper, Liu Jun dipped the wolf's hair into ink, pondered for a moment, and finally wrote only one word on the letter paper.

"kill!"

Since you can't listen to the order, there is no need to keep him anymore.

Henan, Yancheng.

On February 2nd, the dragon raised its head.

This was originally a festive day. On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, the spring plowing began, and the people went out for a trip to spring.

But outside Yancheng, there was a desolate scene. A few days ago, Henan general Zuo Liangyu led his army into Yancheng. After these official troops under the banner of the official army entered the city, they soon began to plunder everywhere, and eventually turned into a major riot.

People in Yancheng are like being involved in bandits. Many families' wives and daughters are insulted, their money and food are robbed, their houses are occupied, and the people are driven out of their houses, and they dare not even cry loudly.

A team of knights rushed by, startling a group of crows.

Under the gate of Yancheng, the leader of the knight held a truce to fight.

"Who is coming?"

"The people in the city listened and immediately went to inform Zuozhen, and said that General, General Huguang, and Zhang Shuai, commander-in-chief of the Central Plains bandit suppression, arrived, and asked him to leave the city to greet him immediately!"

In Yancheng, Zuo Liangyu was surprised when he heard the report, "What? Zhang Huchen has arrived?"

"Isn't Zhang Laohu coming because of the Huangzhou incident? Where did he go? How many soldiers did he bring?" A general next to him asked loudly, with a little uneasy. "Damn, we haven't sent someone to tell him that the matter in Huangzhou was just a group of rioters, and it's not the intention of our Zuozhen. He is still not going to let go."

"Report to the general, he only brought fifty cavalry to come."

"What, I only brought fifty horses? How could this be possible, where was his army parked?"

"No trace of the Chu army was found within thirty miles!"

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he was shocked and frowned and stroked his beard. "Can he come with Zhang Huchen with fifty horses?"

"Main Town, do you want to let him in?"
