Volume 1: The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 16: The Birth of the Intelligence Service (Part II)

"That's right." Jiang Yu's tone softened and looked at him with a smile: "I want you to be absolutely loyal to me, it is because only in this way can you best perform the task and make contributions, for yourself, this is the best choice." ”

"Only when we win the battle is the best thing for Daming, and the best thing for you and me."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuyan looked at everyone present again: "Absolutely loyal to me, this is the second thing you have to remember after entering the Ministry of Intelligence." ”

Seeing that there were still a few people with embarrassed faces, Jiang Yu didn't intend to force it, the Intelligence Department was an innovation of his, and he still abided by the principle of preferring shortage to excess.

"My requirements are actually not high, this is originally a life-fighting job, but I have given you a lot of grace, if you can't do it, go back and be an honest soldier, and make meritorious contributions on the battlefield in the future, and there is a chance to be promoted." Jiang Yu said earnestly: "I will never force me to stay, and I will never hold a grudge." ”

There was a suffocating silence in the tent, these people were originally a bunch of fierce guys, many of them did not hesitate to choose between betrayal and death, what really made them silent was Jiang Yu's demand for their loyalty to him.

Although Jiang Yu is a reckless person, whether it is killing the enemy on the field or commanding off the field, he is polite and gentle even when he usually gets along, but there are a few wild masters, and he still has a bit of arrogance in his bones.

They trust and even rely on Jiang Yugang, but they are still unwilling to make any promises to this hundred households, they are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, just abide by the military laws of the Ming Dynasty, and they don't have to recruit restraints for themselves in order to gain power in the army.

In the process of thinking, six people chose to give up one after another. They were all the ones who learned to leave first, and they gave a military salute to Jiang Yu in a respectful manner, and said resolutely with a resolute look in their eyes: "Farewell." ”

"No." Jiang Yugang is also calm. Originally, these people, as their own soldiers, needed to obey his orders, and they just added the same restraints.

The people he needs, if he can't even accept this little restraint, then he can't do anything, and it's not a pity to leave.

Look at the last seven people, four intelligence officers, an executive officer, a prime minister, and a co-director. Jiang Yuyi smiled slightly: "Now let me tell you the third thing to remember in the Ministry of Intelligence: the Ministry of Intelligence takes precedence." ”

"Whether it is the captured trophies and the treatment of officers, or the right to lead troops at all levels, as long as I have the opportunity to be promoted in the future, all senior officer responsibilities are given priority to the Ministry of Intelligence."

"Thank you." When the rest of the people heard Jiang Yu's words, they couldn't help but smile on their faces, and the previous oppressive atmosphere gradually melted away like ice.

"Baihu, your intelligence department is much more advanced than the pro-soldiers found by other officers." An intelligence officer said admiringly.

"Is the Ministry of Intelligence a pro-soldier? I don't think so. Jiang Yuyan shook his head: "In the future, if I have more troops, maybe I will form a special guard to defend me, but now I don't need it." ”

"The intelligence can be from the Luchuan Army, then it can be from the Manggu Mountain." Chen Ziyu, who had never spoken, picked up Jiang Yu's words: "With the Ministry of Intelligence here, you don't have to worry about someone daring to make trouble on the battlefield, and you can control the troops without your own soldiers." ”

"That's what it means, Chen Ziyu, you are worthy of being a person who has read books, let you be the chief director of the Ministry of Intelligence, it seems that there is no need to change people in the future." Jiang Yuyan was very surprised that Chen Ziyu had this kind of understanding, "After everyone leaves for a while, you and Ah Tian stay, I have something to tell you." ”

"Yes." Chen Ziyu nodded.

"I have summoned you here today, in addition to further clarifying the affairs of the Intelligence Department, it is also necessary to clarify our first mission, reconnaissance preparations before entering the mountain." Jiang Yuyan looked at Ah Tian: "Take the map I drew here." ”

The paper used by blacksmiths is quite coarse, but it is suitable for a variety of complex environments. This map was drawn by Jiang Yuyan according to the environment of the surrounding area by each blacksmith.

The elements of the map are simple, marking different types of woods - accessible and impassable, ponds, swamps and rivers, permanent mountain roads and temporary paths, and the most important villages and the whereabouts of the Luchuan army.

Jiang Yuxuan pointed to the contents of the map and told all the soldiers of the intelligence department little by little. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh at the charm of pictures in expressing meaning, and it is no wonder that the ancestors of ancient times chose to use murals to convey historical information, which is indeed the easiest to understand.

These soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, even those who knew and read since childhood, such as Ah Tian and Chen Ziyu, still had difficulty understanding modern scientific knowledge such as geography.

It is undoubtedly too difficult to describe it purely in words, and at the same time let these novice intelligence officers record intelligence information in words.

However, using maps to explain, these ancients, who have not been baptized by the massive information of the modern information society, have a faster and better understanding of various natural image depictions of various natural existences.

"So, does anyone still understand what this map is all about?" Jiang Yu patiently explained the contents of the map to the soldiers twice.

No one answered. Chen Ziyu felt that as the prime minister, he should take the initiative, so he took the lead in answering: "Back to the hundred households, all the members of the Intelligence Department have already understood." ”

"That's good," Jiang Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Our reconnaissance mission revolves around this map: each of you learns to copy this map, and then chooses one of the villages recorded in the map to go to reconnoitre—as for Anbai, you can go to Nansang Village before." ”

"As for the results of the reconnaissance, you will have to draw a map in the same way that I drew this map, so naturally you don't need to draw such a large area, you only need to draw the details of the villages you are scouting—of course, it will be more detailed than my general map."

"How detailed is that?" An Bai asked. He should be the closest to the completion of the mission in the Intelligence Department.

"The more detailed the better, if you can figure out the details of everyone in the village, it is the best, if you can't do it, you have to find out the depth of some of the leading characters."

Jiang Yugang also cast a big net to catch fish, his purpose is to win people's hearts and minds, and find the key points of contradiction that make the people in the village deviate from the Luchuan army and favor their own side is the most important.

"Baihu, do I want to go there in person?" Chen Ziyu asked with some hesitation.

"Of course, since I approve you as the leader of the intelligence department, then you have to show enough skills to be the leader."

Jiang Yugang has always believed in a truth, talents who can't get enough training are not real talents, and if they are protected everywhere because they are afraid that talents will die young, it will only ruin the talent of talents in the end.

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, An Bai looked at Chen Ziyu with a little more competition in his eyes. It seems that Baihu is not absolutely sure of Chen Ziyu's identity as the head of the intelligence department, and he also has a chance.
