In Lingao County, the "Farm" Intelligence Training Center of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau is brightly lit. @This chapter is lonely http://

[There are a few Ming people sitting in the wings of the four or five classrooms that have been converted into classrooms. All of them looked serious. The mén window was closed, and there was no other text mark except for the number plate hanging from the mén entrance.

Li Yan entered the room one by one to talk to the Ming people in the room, all of whom had been trained by the Foreign Intelligence Bureau for a long time and were preparing to be sent to the mainland, and they would go to various places to carry out intelligence gathering, distribution, and trade operations. Lay a good foundation for the next step of the mainland strategy.

There are no Guo Yi's Guangzhou group and Chang Shide's Leizhou group, which are currently equivalent to semi-public activities. Guangzhou and Leizhou are now part of the Yellow Zone, and the meeting here is full of people who are about to go to the Orange Zone and the Red Zone. They are taking great risks, as the minister who came to give them a health lecture said: the greatest danger is not that the incompetent secret services of the Ming Dynasty cannot even destroy the intelligence system of the barbarians, but the sanitary environment of the entire ancient society.

Each expatriate signed a letter of willingness and wrote a will as required, and some were reluctant to write it. "I don't have children or family in this plane, and what do I write about."

Tong Guan is one of them, as the person in charge of the installation company, he has been engaged in equipment installation in the construction company since the beginning of the day, and he immediately signed up to ask for field work after the foreign intelligence bureau put up the sign. Now he has finally become the leader of the "Yangtze River Task Force".

The so-called "Yangtze River Task Force" is a long-term intelligence gathering project carried out by the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, which is in charge of the geographical survey of the military key points in the Yangtze River basin. Carry out the necessary geographical surveying and mapping of important ferries and Tianjin passes, and at the same time collect information on economic, social and political groups up and down the river, as the basis for the decision-making of the Yangtze River strategy of the Beiyuan plan of the crossing group, and the action code is called "Mandarin Duck Tea" according to Tong Guan's own nomination.

In addition to this task force, the Intelligence Bureau will also send a team of intelligence trade personnel to Hangzhou and Beijing at the same time. The layout is carried out using the system of mountains and seas. In addition, the personnel of the Liaodong Group will also go to Guangzhou with the personnel of the Guangzhou Group in advance, preparing to enter Liaodong through Li Luoyou's arrangement.

It was the first time in the history of the Foreign Intelligence Service that four groups of men were deployed in the same pair in the Yellow Zone and the Red Zone. There will be more than a dozen senators on assignments at the same time, and such a large amount of money makes the senate a little burdened. However, on the premise of launching the mainland's strategy as soon as possible and obtaining more materials, population, and capital channels, it is still necessary to take this risk. 【

The members of each group have already read the task book, and they will be collected after reading it, and not a single piece of paper here will be removed. At this time, Li Yan was conveying to them the task of zuihou, the arrangement of Jiāo Tong to enter the operation, and the response plan in case of special circumstances.

What route each group takes, and what jiāo tong tools they use are all confidential, and each group only knows their own jiāo tong plan. Only Li Yan knew all the details.

In one of the largest rooms sat the largest undercover group in the operation: the Yangtze River Task Force. Four members of this group were drinking tea and farting in the house at the moment. Although most of them had undergone more than half a year of training, and at the same time scoffed at the safety of Ming's counterintelligence capabilities, on the eve of infiltrating the enemy's hinterland, everyone still felt tension and pressure in their hearts.

They drank strong tea and chatted all over the world to relieve their tension, and some of them had chōu cigarettes again, but the smoke had been quit by themselves, and the cigarettes were rare overseas goods in the places they were going to, and even chōu pipes and hookahs were probably not enough. During the more than ten years of his reign, Chongzhen often intermittently engaged in smoking cessation campaigns, and at the worst of his time, chōu cigarettes could even kill his head. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, simply quitting smoking is the best thing to do.

"Once we're gone, we don't know when we'll be back." Tong Guan said as he drank tea.

"I've watched it for three or four years." Zhang Biao said, "In ancient times, all the states and counties along the Yangtze River walked around, and it took a lot of days to have cars and trains in time and space. He said as he played with a Yongle coin in his hand, which shifted between his fingers from time to time, one becoming three, four, or even five. After a while, it was all gone.

Zhang Biao is a master's student in history, a magic enthusiast, good at coin magic, and when he is ready to devote himself to intelligence work, he has practiced various "skills". "Prepare to use the identity of the lake artist as a cover for reconnaissance. He will be the main team member of Tong Guan.

"It's better to say in a peaceful year. These three or four years are the last days of the Ming Dynasty. Ji Jizhang said a little uneasily. He was dressed as a master's account office, and he wrote a good handwriting, and he underwent special training in this area in the Intelligence Bureau.

Tong Guan didn't care: "The time for the real big luàn has not yet come, and there are still kings in the states and counties along the Yangtze River that we are going to." Besides, we still have a martial arts guard who is higher than the guard. ”

Xu Tianqi said: "I don't trust martial arts masters very much, and I'd rather bring more bullets to be reliable." "He used to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, because at the moment there is not much work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the work is very boring. He decided to devote himself to intelligence work on an ad hoc basis, and he had relatively little time to train. Tong Guan is going to arrange him in the intelligence station as a permanent officer. Xu Tianqi's major is English, which is of course not useful, but he himself has a lot of research on the Jianghuai dialect, which can be regarded as a useful skill.

"Whether it's a martial arts master or a pistol, it's not a critical issue. The key is money. Tong Guan said leisurely, "If you have money, you can go all over the world, but you can't move an inch without money." ”

The activities of the Yangtze River Task Force are long-term activities, and the Executive Committee and the Intelligence Bureau do not impose any restrictions on the specific content of their work. Only approximate directions are given. From Nanjing to Chongqing and Chengdu, the Yangtze River Group is in the scope of its activities. Once the Intelligence Group has set out, it has to rely entirely on its own activities to carry out its activities, including a portion of the funds for subsequent activities.

"How much will the Foreign Intelligence Service give us?" Xu Tianqi was very interested in this.

Tong Guan said: "Li Yan talked to me last time. It was about five hundred taels of silver. The money was enough to start with.

We're going to have to go a long way, and we can't take too much money with us. Money is easy to get into trouble. ”

While he was talking, Li Yan came in. He came in with a smile and a canvas bag.

"Li, you're here." Tong Guan made an enthusiastic expression and stood up to shake hands.

"Hehe, I've been waiting for a long time." Li Yan said and put a canvas bag on the table, "This is your equipment." ”

"When are we leaving?"

"In those three days." Li Yan said, "We have already arranged it. He sat down and opened the canvas bag and distributed the contents to those present.

"You take a boat to Guangzhou first, and the Mighty Dart Bureau and your indigenous bodyguards in Guangzhou are the same people." Li Yan handed Tong Guan a paper folder, "This is his material, you can take a look, and you have to return it to me when it's over." ”

Tong Guan opened it and laughed:

"Li Xiaogang? His father's name is Li Dagang? ”

"Yes. That's the name. Li Yan said, "Li Dagang is the older generation of the Wei Dart Bureau. Wu is very good. In recent years, he has been old and frail, so he can't help but go out to dart. His son is very good at punching bāng. It is the new force of the new generation of Qiwei. ”

"Is it reliable?"

"It's reliable." Li Yan said, "Lingao has a life-saving grace for Li Dagang, and Li Xiaogang has taken a training course in Lingao. The General Administration of Political Security has a very high appraisal of their entire family. And Li Xiaogang's son has been sent to Parkview Green to study. ”

This time, in addition to Li Xiaogang as the accompanying guard of the Yangtze River Group, Li Dagang and Li Xiaogang's wife Xiang Chūnhuā will also go with him.

"Xiang Chūnhuā is also a master of the house. It will be useful for your group. ”

"The whole family? It's really loyal. ”

"It doesn't hurt to have more people." Another thing that Li Yan didn't say was the means used by the Colonial Trade Department to break up the Dart Bureau system. Li Dagang is a native of Jiangxi, and he is the most loyal "fellow brother." "The basic team of the Jiangxi Gang. Just take this opportunity to split it up.

Li Yan then took out a cloth bag from his bag and opened a corner: there were golden leaves inside.

"Fifty taels of gold." Li Yan said, "According to the exchange rate of the Ming Dynasty, it is almost about six hundred taels of silver. "Gold is easier to carry than silver, and merchants who need to carry large sums of money when they travel far away often exchange them into gold in advance.

Zuihou 4 G guns with 2 magazines each. This was the standard personal weapon of the senators. These pistols were originally their pistols, and they were all sent for bolt repair and maintenance a few days ago. There are also 200 rounds of 9MM DISPATCH. Packed in a tin box.

Some intelligence officers thought that they did not need pistols to engage in trade intelligence work, but the law and order in ancient society was very poor, and they were not at ease without sharp weapons to defend themselves, so after careful discussion, it was decided to issue pistols to trade intelligence officers. Of course, intelligence officers can also choose not to carry a pistol.

The Yangtze River Task Force is not equipped with a radio station, as Tong Guan has not yet decided where to place the task force's stronghold. The intelligence bureau thought that it could be placed in Nanjing, but Tong Guan believed that the Jiangnan area would carry out activities in the future with the Hangzhou intelligence group, and that it would be suspected of duplicate construction to be placed in Nanjing, and he personally advocated arranging it in Wuchang.

Wuchang was the land of four wars at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Intelligence Bureau did not recognize his proposition, after all, ensuring the safety of the patriarch was the first priority.

"The geographical location of Wuchang is very important, not only in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, but also in Shaanxi, Hanzhong, is a key part of the north and south. A lot of useful information can be collected in Wuchang. Tong Guan is very interested in this place. (To be continued.)
