Chapter 737: The Predecessor of the Later Jinyi Guard: Imperial City Division (First Update)
Chapter 737
"The little one was originally a person from Huanzhou, and my family, all years ago, had died at the hands of the Xixia thief army, and now the little one is just a lonely person, who joined the army at the beginning, in order to be able to kill a few more Xixia dogs to avenge my family's blood hatred."
"Now that there is such an opportunity, how can the little one let it go? Please also ask Wang Jingluo to take in the little ......" The more he said, the more irrepressible and angry middle-aged man Porphym suddenly fell to the ground.
The fate of the twelve warriors who stayed behind was much the same, and they all had a deep enmity with Na Xixia.
Wang Yang listened to the words of everyone, and finally stepped forward to help these twelve people up one by one, and said to them warmly. "Your determination, the official has already seen it, but the official has spoken first, so you should go back to the camp first, think about it, and wait until two days later, if your will is still so resolute, then the official will naturally accept you into the intelligence hall."
After the twelve people slowly left the camp, Zhi Keshi said to Wang Yang with a little dissatisfaction. "If the brethren are willing, why do you let them go back and think again, don't you see their determination?"
"If they don't appear in front of me after two days, it means that their will is not resolute enough, why should I force such people to stay, it is better to continue to let them continue to kill the enemy in the army and make meritorious contributions." Wang Yang explained with a smile.
"That's what you said, it's not bad these two days anyway, but Brother Xian, the things you said before, Brother Yu also thought about it carefully, it seems that the problem is not in my Da Song's fine work, but ......" Speaking of this, Zhi Keshi seemed to think of something, and did not continue, but sighed a little depressedly.
"Brother Tai's thoughts, the younger brother also knows, the problem is indeed no longer on my hard and dangerous work in the Great Song Dynasty. That's why I asked Your Majesty to set up a separate intelligence hall in these three states. Wang Yang nodded sympathetically and explained.
The Great Song Dynasty is not without fine works, but the information that can be obtained by the previous fine works often fails to attract the attention of the upper peak, after all, the intelligence system of the Great Song Dynasty is only an inconspicuous small organization under the Ministry of War, and the highest military body of the Great Song Dynasty is the Privy Council.
So an inconspicuous small organization, even if it provides a lot of valuable information to the military department of the Great Song Dynasty, but, is it useful?
The bigwigs above are busy intriguing and fighting for power and profit all day long, and they don't care about these intelligence work at all, unless they discover the large-scale military movement of the enemy country, which is likely to cause disadvantage to the Great Song Dynasty, and this kind of intelligence will be delivered to the hands of the military department.
Then it will be submitted to the Privy Council by the military department, and it will be studied and decided by the Privy Council. However, a lot of seemingly ordinary, but in fact extremely valuable military and political information, often because of the unprofessionalism of those loose superiors, has led to this information being buried in the pile of old paper.
In view of the destruction of Suide City on Shaanxi Road in the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Yang fiercely complained about the problems existing in the intelligence system of the Great Song Dynasty.
To tell the truth, after Zhao Xu saw Wang Yang's complaints, he once ordered someone to go to the military department to check, and sure enough, he really found some news related to the movements of the Western Xia army, but unfortunately, it did not attract the attention of the above and was buried in those dusty paper piles.
This is also the reason why Zhao Xu agreed with Wang Yang and allowed him to build an intelligence center in the land of these three states, and also ordered the Ministry of Affairs to send several capable backbones to Yanzhou to help Wang Yang build, in addition, Zhao Xu also generously said that if there is another military report from Western Xia, then the Ministry of War will make a special copy and hand it over to the intelligence center in Yanzhou for review.
Before, Zhao Xu had the idea of making the Imperial City Division set up a separate intelligence department and be directly responsible for it, and after hearing Zhao Xu's idea, Wang Daguan was very happy, and he successfully persuaded Zhao Xu, the young man.
But later, when Wang Yang inquired, he learned from Su Dongpo's mouth what the hell is this so-called Imperial City Division. But this outstanding young talent from the future was shocked so much that he couldn't help himself.
Only then did I know that the Imperial City Division was not an ordinary political institution as Wang Yang imagined, it was a spy agency directly under the Great Song Dynasty, and the original idea of this kind of spy agency did not come from the Song Dynasty, but first originated in the Three Kingdoms.
And at the time of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao set up a "school affair", which is a typical spy agency, according to the "Three Kingdoms", in the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's official worship Sikong, Jian'an three years he returned to Xuchang and began to set up the post of military priest wine (Sikong's subordinates), which is also the beginning of Cao Cao's official position.
Later, Cao Cao began a series of actions to add the Han Emperor and the Han Chen, among which the most able to show his power was the establishment of the "school affairs" institution. The first leaders of the school affairs were Lu Hong and Zhao Da, don't look at their lack of reputation in history.
But from the proverbs that circulated within Cao Cao's ruling sphere of influence at that time, we can see their ferocity: not afraid of Cao Gong, but afraid of Lu Hong, Lu Hong is okay, Zhao Da killed me.
The Imperial City Division is a continuation of the past school affairs and the prototype of the future Jinyiwei.
The predecessor of the Imperial City Division was the Wude Division. Wude Si started in the five dynasties, and its name can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty after the five dynasties: "Wude makes Shi Yanqiong, who is fortunate to be an official, and the emperor treats him with the responsibility of the heart.
Later, Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty killed the ministers, "At the end of the Qianyou period, the Yin Emperor used martial arts to make Li Ye and others conspire, and punished the minister Yang Yi, etc...."The martial envoys were the emperor's minions, and their authority was very heavy, and they restrained the "Su Guard Generals" and the Privy Council.
After the Song Dynasty and Zhou, Wang Ren, an old official of the Taizu shogunate, was awarded the military envoy. After Wang Renzhan, the martial arts envoys were successively appointed by Liu Zhixin and Wang Jien, all of whom were "noble, especially in person, and practiced at home and abroad, the most old". At the time, people said that "Taizu Cai listened to Mingyuan, and every thing on the side must be known", thanks to the espionage of Wu Desi.
On November 10 of the sixth year of Taiping Xingguo (981 AD), the Wude Division was changed to the Imperial City Division.
However, this Imperial City Division has always only explored the intelligence inside the Great Song Dynasty and the opposition, and has no intention of expanding its intelligence business outside the Great Song Dynasty.
The Imperial City Division "according to the ancestral law, not subordinate to the Taiwan Cha", and "the old system, the three yas manage the army, and they have not tasted the inner accommodation", "although the first division in front of the palace is in charge of the guards, and the first division of the imperial city is also judged to be unrelated, and the meaning of the unification of the northern and southern armies of the Han Dynasty is also", that is to say, the imperial city division is not subject to the jurisdiction of the three ya, but is a spy agency directly under the emperor.
The Imperial City Division has thousands of personal officials, and it is ordered that the two members of the military ministers know the lord with both, and the palace is unpredictable, and in the fifth year of the government, the Imperial City Division has a total of five commanders (number: the first command, the second command, the third command, the fourth command, and the fifth command) about 3,000 people; There are about 5,000 people in the six commands of the family officers (number: the next commander, the second commander, the third commander, the fourth commander, the fifth commander, and the outer three commanders, the yellow courtyard, and the soap courtyard); five hundred people in the inner courtyard; 100 each for fast and long lines; three drivers; Cao Si thirty people.
Such a scale must have nearly 10,000 of them, and such a large-scale spy agency is actually only used to stare at the country, which is not inferior to the Jinyi Wei and the East Factory and the West Factory in the Ming Dynasty in later generations.
History really gave Wang Yang and Wang Wushan a history lesson, but the scholar Su expressed his high praise for Wang Yang's mistake.
It is believed that Wang Yang's move is tantamount to diverting the attention of the Imperial City Division from staring at the country for many days in the past, and with the level of the Imperial City Division's more than 100 years of secret services, at least in terms of intelligence level, it is indeed far higher than the inconspicuous intelligence agency under the rear of the Great Song Dynasty.
#####
Two days is not a long time, Wang Yang took advantage of these two days of hard work, carefully inspected this hot construction site, 30,000 people are working on a construction site, even in the 21 st century, such a big scene is extremely rare.
Wang Yang had to be glad that his location was located, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers, the city was located here, and there was the obstruction of the riverside mountains, so it was not easy to suffer from the enemy on the back of the abdomen.
In addition, with living water, a wide moat can be built, and with river water, it can also ensure the daily life of the people in the city. and production water in the gentle areas to the north and south of New Yanzhou.
More than 120,000 red bricks were produced every day, but even then it was not enough to meet the demand, and a large number of terracotta pipes with a diameter of two feet were needed to be used as sewer ditches, and the construction of roads already planned in the city was in full swing.
At this moment, Wang Yang is holding the floor plan of Xinyanzhou drawn by himself, and is walking among the van soldiers who are under construction.
The large amount of supplies and tools that had been obtained from the sale of cotton fields in the past came in handy here, otherwise it would have been impossible to know how much time and effort would have been spent just to collect them.
This made Master Wang admire his ingenuity more and more. The new Yanzhou that Wang Yang wants to build is not only focused on the present, but also on the future.
The width of the main roads in the city exceeds the width of the concrete straights that are connecting the various state towns. In addition, street trees and masonry guardrails will be spaced in the center of the road to ensure smooth road flow.
