Chapter 1953
Even though Zhang Xin had always trusted Zhang Qianzhi, he still felt that this plan was a bit too radical, and it might not be able to achieve the effects Zhang Qianzhi claimed. All of Zhang Qianzhi's judgments on this case were based on fragmentary clues from Changhua, but there was no actual evidence for what might have happened in Danzhou. In other words, all the actions Zhang Qianzhi wants to take in Danzhou have no basis. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is based on intuitive judgment at best, but it is based on his imagination at worst.
Zhang Xin is actually quite confident about the local public security situation and security level. Today's Danzhou is no longer the environment it was in 1631. The people have gradually become accustomed to Haihan's rule, and there is no voice of resistance. If someone still wants to plan a large-scale attack locally, it will definitely not be easy to succeed.
In fact, after a large-scale investigation was conducted at Danzhou Port in the past few days, nothing was found. Zhang Xin already felt that the matter might not be as serious as the Ministry of Security claimed, or that the investigators had misunderstood the direction of the situation. Judgment, there is no need to carry out such action in Danzhou with great fanfare. However, in order to take into account the face of the Ministry of Security and Zhang Qianzhi's feelings, Zhang Xin ordered the local military police, port affairs and other departments to fully cooperate.
But now that Zhang Qianzhi asked for further action, asking everyone in Danzhou to cooperate with the Ministry of Security in a drama to lure the snake out of its hole, Zhang Xin hesitated a little. As the top local administrator, he must consider the negative impact this action will have on Danzhou's peaceful society, as well as the consequences if the plan fails.
According to Zhang Qianzhi's plan, Danzhou needs to create the illusion that the Crown Prince of Joseon is visiting, and arrange the itinerary during Danzhou's visit, and then artificially create security loopholes to lure enemies who don't know whether they exist to take action. This not only requires the help of the garrison, police and other departments, but also requires the visiting units to cooperate with the performance, and the scope of involvement may exceed official control.
If the opponent that Zhang Qianzhi is worried about can be elicited, then of course it will be worthwhile no matter how much money is spent and how much manpower is invested. But if after the play is completed, no one will support it, or if there is a flaw in some link in the middle, it will be worth it. , then Zhang Xin will probably become a laughing stock. When others talk about this matter, they will not say that this is the work of "someone from the Ministry of Security", but will definitely attribute it to the Danzhou government. He, Zhang Xin, will inevitably get "incompetent leadership" and so on. evaluation.
Of course, even if there is any unfavorable evaluation of Zhang Xin among the people or officials, it will not be enough to shake his position in Danzhou. Like most of the first batch of people who were released as local officials, Zhang Xin never moved his position after taking office in Danzhou. Over the years, he has managed Danzhou like his own property. As long as he does not commit any crime, If there are some principled mistakes, the official position will not be replaced.
But Zhang Xin doesn't like this situation that is out of his control. He hopes that Zhang Qianzhi can come up with more convincing evidence or a more reliable action plan, rather than this approach that is similar to gambling. Since Danzhou is currently under his control, why take such unnecessary risks?
Zhang Xin asked Zhang Qianzhi patiently: "Have you considered another approach? We can take a more conservative approach and strengthen the security during the visit of the Joseon Crown Prince to the local area, so as to eliminate security risks. At the same time, the Ministry of Security also Continue to pursue existing clues to confirm whether the other party is really lurking in Danzhou. This way we can do a lot less useless work and focus more on actual security work.”
Zhang Xin's statement was very tactful, but in fact he had reservations about Zhang Qianzhi's plan. Of course, Zhang Qianzhi could understand the meaning of Zhang Xin's words. His plan must be approved and supported by Zhang Xin before it could be implemented in Danzhou, so he still had to try to convince the other party.
"The method mentioned by the adults is not impossible, but I believe that if we deal with it in the traditional way, even if the other party is really lurking in Danzhou, they will probably not dare to show up again due to pressure, but this hidden danger will continue to exist. They Even if they fail to take action in Danzhou, it is very likely that they will continue to target the prince of Joseon in the dark! Now the evidence we have has shown that this group of people is not a temporary act, and there must be someone behind them. If the person who ordered it is dug out, something will happen sooner or later..."
Zhang Xin was noncommittal about Zhang Qianzhi's statement. In fact, he didn't know that the method he mentioned could mainly serve to deter enemies who might be lurking in the dark, so that they would not dare to take action in Danzhou. If he really wanted to catch these guys , then maybe Zhang Qianzhi’s method is more effective.
But having said that, whether the Ministry of Security can catch these people in Danzhou is not the focus for Zhang Xin. He only needs to ensure that the personal safety of the Joseon Crown Prince does not cause any problems during his stay in Danzhou. This will be important to Zhang Xin at any time. It is not difficult for Zhang Xin, who can mobilize all the resources in Danzhou. The worst he can do is mobilize the army infantry battalion stationed in Danzhou to set up a mobile safety zone for the Koreans, and then arrange for a company of people to surround the Koreans 24 hours a day. Man, no matter where you came from, all the assassins were persuaded to retreat. As for whether the North Koreans will be attacked again after leaving Danzhou, Danzhou officials do not need to be responsible for this. To put it bluntly, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with Zhang Xin.
If someone else was responsible for investigating this incident, Zhang Xin probably wouldn't be in the mood to meddle in other people's affairs. Unless the executive committee gave him a direct order, he would definitely handle it in his own way. But since the person in charge is now Zhang Qianzhi, and he admires him very much, he can't help but treat Zhang Qianzhi with a tough attitude.
Zhang Xin took a deep breath and said in as calm a tone as possible: "I think it's better to sort out the differences between us first and then find a solution."
Zhang Qianzhi bowed and said: "Sir, do you agree that we should try to dig out and arrest these criminals as soon as possible?"
Zhang Xin wondered if I could give a negative answer to this question, and he nodded silently in recognition.
Zhang Qianzhi said: "The main thing that worries you is that you are not sure whether this group of people is currently lurking in Danzhou, so you feel that the humble position's plan is not reliable enough. May I ask if this is the case?"
Zhang Xin nodded again, thinking that if you can confirm that this group of people has indeed arrived in Danzhou, then there is nothing wrong with applying to mobilize Danzhou's resources to arrest these people. But if you just do it based on intuition, then I'm sorry, Hai The Han Dynasty does not have such rules, and your identity, Zhang Qianzhi, is far from high enough to set your own rules.
Zhang Qianzhi continued: "So the difference of opinion between the adults and the subordinates mainly lies in whether it can be confirmed that this group of people came to Danzhou to lurk after leaving Changhua, and planned to launch another attack on the Joseon Crown Prince in Danzhou."< br>
This time Zhang Xin finally responded: "You are right, this is the main difference between us. If you have evidence that these people are hiding in Danzhou, then you can do it according to your method. But if not If we can't confirm this, then it's better to follow my method." Zhang Qianzhi couldn't provide any evidence to convince Zhang Xin at the moment, but he knew that if he followed Zhang Xin's method, he would be able to catch these people in Danzhou. The chance of the murderer is slim.
Zhang Xin continued: "The Crown Prince of Joseon is still in Tushan. He will probably stay for three or four days before going to Heitu Port. If you still can't find out the news about that group of people within two days, you won't have time to implement your idea." Plan. Take your time!”
"Thank you, sir! I will step up the investigation now!" Zhang Qianzhi knew that Zhang Xin had given him another two days, and it was also the last two days. It was already a compromise, and he did not dare to expect the other party to do anything. After all, he also knew that his speculation was not 100% reliable. Now all the investigation results were in the opposite direction to his speculation. Zhang Xin was able to make such a statement as special care for him. .
Half an hour later, according to Zhang Qianzhi's request, the main personnel of the security department currently in Danzhou City gathered together, and he chaired an emergency meeting.
"We still have at most two days to confirm whether that group of people are lurking in Danzhou before the mayor can initiate follow-up measures. If we rely on large-scale investigations, it will probably be too late, and it will be easy to alert the snake. So I need everyone to brainstorm and quickly come up with a way to achieve this goal.”
Zhang Qianzhi went straight to the point and assigned tasks to everyone. Normally, he would choose to deploy directly after considering the action plan, but this time the situation is quite special. He definitely does not have this group of people who have been stationed here for a long time regarding the local situation in Danzhou. Clearly, and in a hurry, he really couldn't think of any immediate solution, so he simply asked Wang Baisuo to gather people together and see if the three cobblers could stand up to Zhuge Liang and come up with a feasible solution.
The group of people under Wang Baisuo were not idlers. They immediately proposed several plans according to Zhang Qianzhi's intention. However, Zhang Qianzhi believed that some plans were too complicated to be implemented within two days, and some plans were too flamboyant. , the effect may be counterproductive, causing the opponent to be wary and then hide deeper.
Wang Baisuo listened for a while, shook his head and stopped everyone's discussion: "Let's stop for a moment. What you are talking about are all ways to counter the opponent. Isn't there anyone who thinks about the opponent's actions? Think about it, everyone. If they are hiding in Danzhou and waiting for the North Koreans to come, what will they do now? What is the most likely situation that will expose their whereabouts? ”
Wang Baisuo's idea was actually the idea that Zhang Qianzhi had told him earlier. He considered the method of action from the perspective of his opponent. However, at that time, Zhang Qianzhi only wanted to prove that his plan was theoretically feasible, but he had not yet gone deeper into it. Think clearly about specific measures.
Wang Baisuo's reminder immediately opened everyone's minds, and a consensus was quickly formed. This group of people would seize the time and try to collect all kinds of intelligence needed for the operation locally. For example, the itinerary of North Koreans during their stay in Danzhou, the places they may visit, and their own safe evacuation route from Danzhou.
The specific itinerary for the North Koreans during their stay in Danzhou has not yet been worked out, because Li Shu and others are still in Annan at this time, and the final return time has not been determined. Zhang Qianzhi's original plan was to take this opportunity to make a time difference and arrange for the fake prince to come to Danzhou to lure his opponent to show up. But if you consider how to collect this information from the opponent's perspective, it seems that you can find the entry point for detection.
"There should be some underground brokers in Danzhou, right?" Zhang Qianzhi was inspired by this and had some new ideas: "It is impossible for them to know the schedule of the Joseon Crown Prince several days in advance. , according to the security system, the relevant units will only receive official notification one or two days in advance. However, maybe we can let the news out in advance. If the other party has access to local underground brokers, they will definitely try to buy this kind of thing. Message.”
Taking the initiative to sell information about North Koreans to opponents was a method that no one had thought of before. This kind of information is worthless to ordinary people, but if someone pays for it, it must be with evil intentions. Unless the opponent has very reliable high-level sources in the local area, he will not let go of collecting relevant information from abnormal channels.
Zhang Qianzhi believes that it is impossible for the other party to have high-level sources of information in Danzhou, because the reason is very simple. If the other party has such conditions, there is no need to rush into Changhua, and the action can be planned calmly. , strive for success in Danzhou with greater certainty.
Under normal circumstances, the branches of the Ministry of Security in various places will know the status of most of the local underground industries. These gray area things may not be legal, but as long as they do not affect the government's rule, the Ministry of Security will not take the initiative to eradicate them. Even if there are some illegal behaviors, it is still the function of the police department. The Security Department usually just observes and records silently, and rarely intervenes.
Brokers who sell all kinds of information as middlemen can easily be classified into the gray area, because many times the information they sell has problems from source to purpose. However, as long as certain red lines are not crossed, the Ministry of Security will not We will take the initiative to take action against them. After all, sometimes the government also needs to use these channels to release some information that is not suitable for disclosure through normal channels.
As for the method mentioned by Zhang Qianzhi, it can be regarded as a special way of utilizing this type of underground industry, but the specific method of operation probably still depends on the local subordinates in Danzhou. If everything goes well, Zhang Qianzhi believes that it may take less than two days to confirm whether the opponent is lurking in Danzhou.
