1351 He overestimated his opponent
After the meeting, Su Yonglin secretly summoned Ma Zi'ang, the leader of the third operation group of the Skynet Army who was operating in the Lingnan area, and held him accountable.
Su Yonglin asked him why he did not report some of the problems that arise in Guangzhou to the central government.
Ma Zi'ang felt very uneasy about this, apologized to Su Yonglin, and then told him about his difficulties.
"Since the sixth year of Hongwu, the headquarters of the Tianwang Army began to order the third operation team to transfer the main investigation direction from the mainland of Lingnan to various countries south of Lingnan, especially the Li family in the South Vietnam, Chameng Kingdom, and the farthest part, the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom.
Not only that, when the Seventh Operation Team operated in Sichuan and Sichuan, a certain number of spies from the Third Operation Team went to support, and the staffing was further reduced. Although the Third Operation Team also had the responsibility to detect illegal acts of local officials, there were indeed many shortcomings in the staffing, so..."
"Are these all the requirements of the Skynet Army Headquarters?"
"Yes, these are all clear requirements of the Tianwang Army Headquarters. The third operation team obeys orders."
After hearing Ma Zi'ang's explanation, Su Yonglin felt a little helpless.
The training of spies is actually not easier than cultivating a cadre. Even in the early days of the establishment of the Skynet Army, many backbone personnel were transferred to the Fuxing Association cadres.
Besides Su Yin and a few founders who were trained as professional spies since childhood, most of them became monks halfway through. It is actually not easy to be able to reach this point.
At present, there are not many secret agents in the entire Skynet Army system. The total number of thirteen action groups is less than 6,000.
The reason why the Skynet Army's eyeliner can spread all over the world is that many Skynet Army secretly spies can often find partners in the industry or environment where they are located, and ask these peripheral members to help if they are aware of it or not.
As for the growth of members, it mainly depends on the old and the new. It is recommended to join. The spies select excellent ones from the peripheral members, with strong abilities and talent to develop into formal Skynet Army spies.
In the early days, the Ming Dynasty was short of funds and there was not enough manpower to do the work. The talent training of the Tianwang Army mainly relied on itself. It was not until the fifth year of Hongwu that the spy training school under the Tianwang Army was secretly allocated funds by the Ministry of Finance and was secretly organized.
A series of peripheral members of Tianwangjun were recommended to study in training schools, and some spies themselves also chose to go to the school to receive in-depth re-education and improve their professional level.
Only then can the Skynet Army have a stable reserve talent training system.
Everyone was busy at home and outside, hoping to train more excellent spies for the Ming Dynasty, spy on the enemy's intelligence from the outside, and find corrupt officials and traitors from the inside.
However, the number of people is still limited at present, and the training speed is not that fast, and there are many aspects of shortage of manpower.
Of course, they also had things that they could not do, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would be able to reign with the Jinyiwei, and he would not have been infiltrated by the Soviet Union with the "famous" intelligence organization as a MI6.
To put it bluntly, intelligence organizations cannot save the demise of the country. No matter how strong the spy leader is, he is just a dagger.
So Su Yonglin reached out and helped Ma Zi'ang up, sighed, and said helplessly: "I have too much expectations for you. Many times, the government and the Revival Association cannot give me messages. I can only rely on you. Compared with external threats, I care more about internal chaos.
To put it bluntly, I don’t think there is any country that can threaten the security of the Ming Dynasty from the outside, and the Ming army is enough to crush them. What I worry about is nothing more than some internal chaos that will make us self-defeating, so I need you."
Ma Zi'ang looked ashamed.
"The incompetence of subordinates makes the Chairman worried."
Su Yonglin shook his head.
"This is not all your problem, but mine. Although intelligence is important, there are always things that cannot be done by intelligence. Zi'ang, don't blame yourself too much. I will find a way to replenish your manpower. In short, external spy on it, and internal focus should be on."
"I see."
Ma Ziang nodded and turned around and left.
After he left, Su Yonglin thought about it and felt that it was necessary to regard this matter as an important national hidden danger.
Like the cadre problem, at present, the domestic problems in the entire Ming Dynasty are mainly reflected in the insufficient number of cadres and the uneven quality of quality. Many local problems can be attributed to this reason.
This reason involves some historical problems, such as Su Yonglin's success in the uprising was too fast, and Wanyan Liang's god-like operation caused the Jin Dynasty to collapse too quickly, so that Su Yonglin did not have enough time to train enough cadres, so he would start the process of governing the country.
At the beginning, Su Yonglin planned to seize the window period of Wanyan Liang's desperation to make the revolution gain a foothold, establish a regime in the Shandong area or the Central Plains, and strengthen himself in five or ten years and defeat the Jin Kingdom.
He did have the idea of tearing the Jin regime apart in a short period of time, but he himself felt that this possibility was not great. Su Yonglin, who first discovered that the Jin country had a tendency to collapse, was once excited, but soon came back to his senses and felt that this might not be an absolute good thing.
If the Jin people persisted for a longer time, they would have relatively sufficient time to train enough cadres and give them enough experience in fighting.
But in a sense, he overestimated his opponent.
He thought that under his offensive, his opponent could last at least five or six years or seven or eight years. Who would have thought that in just three years, class contradictions, ethnic contradictions and internal contradictions of the ruling class broke out, directly breaking up the Jin Dynasty.
Su Yonglin himself wondered if his method of dealing with the Jin Kingdom was too sharp, so that the Jin Kingdom, a semi-slave and semi-feudal country that had not even completed feudalization, could not hold on at all, so it collapsed too early.
Everyone is collapsed. If you don’t take the lead and establish a regime, wouldn’t you be a fool?
Su Yonglin took over and established the regime. At that time, in order to complete the excessive and not stimulate the Southern Song Dynasty in advance, he even managed the Central Plains and Yan Yun in the name of the Restoration Army and the General Affairs Bureau of the Zhongdu. It took a long time before officially becoming emperor and founding the country.
Due to the lack of reliable and excellent cadres, Su Yonglin had to establish the early Ming Dynasty to accept old bureaucrats and gentry, which led to the corruption case and the first major purge in the second and third years of Hongwu, and then laid the groundwork for the second major purge.
Afterwards, in order to fill the gap in the number of cadres, we can only further speed up the training of cadres. Although Su Yonglin repeatedly emphasized the need to tighten the standards, it is completely contradictory to speed up the standards while tightening the standards.
Therefore, in actual implementation, it is simply to relax standards and speed up the pace, so as to pursue rapid cadre output to fill the current increasingly lack of grassroots cadres and officials.
This dumpling-style cadre training speed will of course cause problems. Warships and sea ships can lay dumplings, but cadres cannot.
However, under the current situation, Su Yonglin has no other choice in order to do something, and the cadres trained at high speed may not be unqualified.
The two evils are the least, so he can only choose to launch multiple rectification campaigns in the future and gradually expel these unqualified cadres to correct the mistakes that have been forced to do so.
So what should we do if the consequences of various wrong behaviors occur in this current state?
What should we do if these wrong people and things bring pain to the people?
