Chapter 156: Intelligence

Of course, Chen Xian will definitely not learn the training and organization methods of the Eighth Banner Army, he has advanced technology in his hands, and he will only train the so-called all-round cavalry when he is crazy.

Under the admiring gaze of Yang Miaozhen, the rise of Chen Xiantan, as an anecdote, told Yang Miaozhen about the combat method of the Eight Banners, but he didn't expect this multi-functional cavalry tactic to attract Yang Miaozhen at once.

As an expert, Yang Miaozhen knew the advantages of this tactic as soon as she heard Chen Xian's description, and she immediately proposed to Chen Xian that she wanted to train such an all-round cavalry suitable for horses and steps.

Regarding Yang Miaozhen's proposal, Chen Xian of course refused on the spot.

The Eight Banners Army is not so easy to train, and it has high requirements for the individual quality of soldiers.

The reason why Nurhachi was able to form such an army, on the one hand, is related to the living habits of the Jurchens, although most of the Jurchens in Nurhachi's time have learned to farm, but hunting is still an important source of their living resources, so for the Jurchens at that time, archery is a very important life skill, just like horseback riding is a life skill of the steppe people.

On the other hand, the Eight Banners Army established by Nurhachi is actually a military group with a plundering nature, and for the soldiers of the Eight Banners, combat skills are their ability to eat, and they naturally have the main motivation to train hard.

These two prerequisites were important factors in the formation of the Eighth Banner Army.

Although Chen Xian refused, Yang Miaozhen kept this cavalry tactic in his heart.

After a while, Yangjiazhuang suddenly sent someone to send more than 200 fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-Dazhuang Ding disciples.

This is Yang Miaozhen transferred from Yangjiazhuang.

Chen Xian did not object to Yang Miaozhen's practice of recruiting young children from the Yang family to experiment with training all-round cavalry, he only demanded that these half-grown children must graduate from his own school, and Yang Miaozhen, who had already partially reformed his mind in this course, naturally would not object.

Just when Yang Miaozhen's military training was impressive, on the other side, the intelligence team sent by Chen Xian to Laiwu also had news.

Chen Xian's intelligence team was established as early as when it was fighting with the Yang and Bai families in Dongzhuangzi, in order to inquire about the news of the Yang and Bai families.

After taking East Zhuangzi, in the contest with the Bai family of West Zhuangzi, Chen Xian suffered from lack of intelligence.

As a modern person, Chen Xian certainly knows the importance of intelligence work, but he has not had enough time to suffer losses for the Bai family, and he has not had time to carry out external intelligence work.

After taking Xi Zhuangzi, Chen Xian began to strengthen the size and strength of the intelligence team.

The strengthened intelligence team was named the Intelligence Division by Chen Xian.

Chen Xian selected all the young men who had Laiwu relatives in the Zhuangzi, and selected some clever and clever people from among the soldiers, a total of 100 people, and he personally trained these people.

Based on the results of the training, he selected 50 teenagers from among the 100 people whom he considered to be relatively successful in ideological reform and training, and incorporated them into the intelligence department, forming a total of 10 intelligence groups of five people.

Of course, Chen Xian doesn't understand intelligence, at most he has only watched a few spy war movies, so the intelligence department and intelligence work plan he formulated are relatively sloppy.

He divided the intelligence team into three functions: the field team, the delivery team, and the analysis team.

The way the field team works is also relatively simple, which is to mark people.

Among the 10 teams of the Intelligence Division, there are five field teams, and they are eyeing the Ya and Huo families in Laiwu County, Baijia Beppu in Laiwu County, and the other two Haoqiang Mansions in Laiwu County.

Staring, of course, is not just watching from afar, but around the target, an intelligence station is set up, and this intelligence station is headed in the shadows.

Two of the team members try to sneak into the target mansion, if they can't do it, then find a way to get close to the important people in the target mansion, such as the housekeeper who infiltrates the target mansion, the steward, and the nephew's family as servants.

A group member hangs out at a restaurant near the target, collecting scattered information.

One team member is responsible for messaging.

In the process of approaching the target, the intelligence team made full use of the kinship of some of its members in Laiwu County, and first entered the local area and integrated into the local area by joining relatives and friends, and then managing its contacts to blend in with the target.

Bai Shijie and Laiwu Haoqiang both felt that Chen Xian was an outsider, and his subordinates were all mud legs, and they had nothing to do with Laiwu, so they couldn't get close to Haoqiang present at all, let alone find out any news.

But these people don't know that it only takes seven people to connect any two strangers in this world.

Of course, this sentence may not be appropriate in this era, because compared to modern times, this era is isolated by geography and distance, but in the same geographical circle, this principle is appropriate.

The intelligence team sent by Chen Xian to Laiwu does not need to bypass seven people, only three or four people can probe their tentacles to these powerful people who think they are high.

Therefore, not long after Chen Xian gave the order, the five intelligence teams all heard similar information one after another.

Although the information was inquired, it became very difficult to send information from Laiwu to Yiyuan.

Because of the blockade of the Laiwu government, the caravans between Laiwu and Yiyuan were basically extinct, and Chen Xian's intelligence transmission team lost its cover.

Of the 10 intelligence teams set up by Chen Xian, three were intelligence transmission teams.

Originally, some of the members of these three transmission teams entered several shops in the county that were more active in doing business in Yiyuan through the introduction of relatives and friends, and transported intelligence by following the caravan in and out of Yiyuan.

But after the severance of commercial contacts between Yiyuan and Laiwu, this method could not be carried out.

What's more serious is that the powerful people around Laiwu County took turns to send some horseback riders to guard the road between Laiwu and Yiyuan, cutting off the fine passage of Yiyuan.

Chen Xian had to adopt a new strategy for the transmission of information.

He asked the three intelligence transmission teams staying in Laiwu County to find a way to let some members infiltrate the caravan of the target Haoqiang's family.

Let some people blend into the He family's caravan closest to Yiyuan.

Using the comings and goings of these caravans, the information was first transmitted to the county seat, and then through the He caravan, the information was transmitted to Hejiazhuang, and then the local intelligence officers sent the information to a fixed location near Hejiazhuang to hide.

Chen Xian took out the 100 cavalry infantry that had just been formed under his command, scattered them, and cleared the Laiwu cavalry that blocked the road.

The person who led this hundred-horse infantry was none other than Yang Miaozhen, who volunteered.

In order to cooperate with and protect these horse infantry, Chen Xian also took turns to dispatch militia and went to ambush near the Yiyuan mountain intersection.
