Chapter 184: The Ruffian Castle and the Bad Guys—3
Suning received a report from Gan Ning the next day, and Li Kan, a spy lurking in the industrial park, and Xia Shan and others, who had been waiting for the rabbit, were all captured.
Suning was very appreciative of this, and wrote a private letter to his apprentice Xia Shan, praising him for his decisive performance in this operation! At the same time, he also put forward a new idea, that is, to establish an intelligence agency, which will be responsible for such incidents in the future, but the current available manpower is slightly insufficient, so he is ready to recruit all those friends in Summer Mountain into this new agency.
Xia Shan naturally has no reason not to allow it, this master is really good to himself, although he was injured at the beginning because he participated in the bodyguard job fair held by Suning on a whim, but afterwards it was precisely because of the medicinal materials provided by Suning that he was able to recover from his serious injuries, and later, Song Ning taught him the Five Tigers Broken Door Gun, so that he could defeat the long-standing bandit Li Kan with a half-move advantage in the fight last night.
If when he discussed this with his friends, his friends scoffed at it. Between them, the reason why they were involved in this matter this time was entirely because of their deep friendship with him Xia Shan, and as for working hard for Suning, the martial guard, they were not interested in it yet.
Xia Shan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed about this, these Qingxia evil teenagers often have an eclectic temper, especially in Liangzhou, everyone lives and dies, no one knows when they can see each other again, but as long as they gather together, the word righteousness is to run through the friendship between each other.
For the sake of his own brothers, he can be born and die, but if it is for the sake of the officials, then he has to have a few more eyes. The bureaucrats are a group of wolves in sheep's clothing, they not only eat people like wolves without spitting out bones, but also often pretend to be as docile and cute as sheep, which makes people often lose their vigilance, so this group of children is not willing to easily join Suning's command.
Xia Shan couldn't help but feel embarrassed by this, he couldn't understand why this group of children was reluctant to join? I heard that Lord System has recruited a lot of herdsmen who are good at finding out information in Weishui Yicong, and formed an intelligence collection agency. Because the work of this group of people is mainly aimed at the nomadic tribes in the north, and because their headquarters is a house that opens the door to the north, they think that there is indeed a noodle mill on the north side of it, so it is also called the north house.
The north room, originally a direct agency of the Privy Council during the Two Song Dynasty, mainly carried out secret investigation work against the Liao State and other regimes, but when he came to Suning, he became a spoof of the system, although it was still facing the nomadic tribes in the north to carry out intelligence collection work, but it was not directly subordinate to Suning, and Suning relied on his Shenli plus money attack policy, and he was not very careful about the intelligence work in the north. However, with the continuous follow-up of trade in the Western Regions, he also began to have higher requirements for intelligence work, but the north side of the system has already spread out its own stall, although some people can be transferred to the Western Regions, but the Hu people on the Xinyu side have a lot of Caucasian characteristics, and if the people in the north side of the house pass, they can only use the identity of the caravan as a cover, and there are many jobs that cannot be carried out.
So Suning is ready to find another way, a set of intelligence agencies in the city, the one she wants Xia Shan to set up is just the beginning, and his layout in intelligence is far more complicated than this.
First of all, he wants a counter-espionage agency, and the main component of this organization is people who are familiar with the local people's conditions, so that it will be easier to discover spies lurking in other places; of course, such spies may appear at the top level in the future, and this requires the intelligence agencies not only to grasp the local people's feelings, but also to grasp the basic situation and personnel relations within the group, so as to make better judgments.
However, the latter half of the function, Xu Miao slowly cultivated, first of all, he still has to complete the counter-espionage work on the ground, as for the high-level, for the time being, he appoints some summoners, and the few remaining natives also have basically similar ideals as him, and the probability of rebellion is not very large, of course, with the continuous growth of the group in the future, similar situations may be difficult to avoid, but Suning is ready to bear losses.
Of course, he was prepared to take precautions, and this was the second intelligence agency he needed to set up, but for now, this was just a sketch, not even a basket. Suning is still hesitant to let this institution take on the responsibility of internal supervision, especially anti-corruption and anti-corruption, and whether a regime can maintain its vitality for a long time is extremely important.
In addition, the military aspect that is closely related to his survival also has a special intelligence agency, which may be set up with more personnel to be sent to various places at home and abroad to collect intelligence, or to carry out short- and medium-term undercover, and to carry out assassin assassination missions.
This agency has already taken shape, but the relevant personnel are still being recruited, and he still lacks training personnel, so the business that can be carried out is still extremely limited, however, Suning thinks that it is more than enough for him to carry out some tasks in Liangzhou, so he is ready to use this power in the next two weeks.
The three main intelligence agencies have not yet decided on their own names, after all, even the main components have not yet been finalized, so Suning only has a basic framework.
He doesn't have enough energy to allocate to this now, because there are many other things that are also important, such as the formation of the fourth column, which actually cost him a lot of energy.
Although the real advertisement has been over for a long time, there are very few people who come to sign up, because the requirements of this conscription are too harsh. In order to join the fourth column, he must be a good knight expert, and he must be a devout disciple of the Pangu Sect, and his requirements for strength and body are also quite strict. Some warriors from the tribe, although their bodies appear to be very strong and their riding and archery skills are also very good, that is, their height is not up to standard, and they are sent back. When those warriors left, they didn't forget to look back at the slogans on the recruitment advertisements, especially the salary offered by Suning, which made them look forward to it!
Suning really wants to have an army that is condensed together based on spiritual power, and the comrades-in-arms who are tied together by money cannot guarantee life and death, so their combat effectiveness may not be as good as the sum of the superposition of a single combat power, but his voice in Liangzhou is not loud now. Even if he said any bold words, only the people in his hands could listen, since only his own people were willing to listen, then he simply told the truth, so, under this cycle, he was defined by some big families as a figure like the head of Qian, thinking that he was not a guy with a leading temperament, but just a bureaucrat like a peasant leader.
This made him struggling in the officialdom of Liangzhou, even Zhong Miao and others, who came here together a few years ago, gradually stayed away from him because he was looked down upon by the family in the officialdom.
This made Suning a little depressed, he originally wanted to add those people for his own use, and also bought off those eunuchs in the court for this purpose, but now, he couldn't imagine that this group of people actually had a centrifugal force with him, fortunately, several young guys are studying seriously in the school he founded, Guo Jia, Xu Fu. They have already shown enough ingenuity that they can become masters in their own way in the future. Even if Zhong Xuan, a calligrapher, left him, and later, according to the course of history, he once again became an important bargaining chip for Cao Cao, and gave birth to a smart son, Zhong Hui, and in accordance with the inherent historical inertia, led this elite army to attack Liangzhou in the future, he would not fall into confusion because he had no way to deal with it.
Young indigenous talents are obviously easier to transform than those who are older, but young people also have a big drawback, that is, they need time to grow, Cao Cao Zhong and others are obviously unlikely to stay in their trenches, but they don't know what role they will play in the next Liangzhou Rebellion.
So, Suning was ready to sacrifice his intelligence weapon again, and this time he chose Xia Shan.
Of course, Xia Shan wanted to ask what the main purpose and reason of this mission was, but the answer Suning gave him surprised him very much. The reason is that several officials from the Central Plains, including Zhong Xuan, are ready to leave Liangzhou and return to a place they are familiar with to be officials, which is understandable, but they are ready to take away the science and technology that Liangzhou is proud of, and you must also know that the Central Plains region is far more developed than Liangzhou, a desolate place, if they bring these technologies there, then the rapid development of Liangzhou over the years will be overtaken back, and at that time, Liangzhou will be the most despised one among the 13 states in the world.
As a native of Liangzhou, although Xia Shan has never left his hometown, he knows how people in the world view his hometown with everything he has observed and the tone he has received from the merchants!
He had also been angry because of this, could it be that the two of them wanted to live such a miserable life? The days of war and chaos are not willing to be lived by anyone, but this is the situation here for them, if they don't use a bow and knife to fight to the death, then they can't even meet the basic requirements for survival here.
The progress of things is obviously much faster than Suning expected, and the things related to the honor of his hometown made the friends who heard about it also excited, and they agreed to Xia Shan's request and decided to help him complete this matter again.
They took advantage of the opportunity of Cao Cao's family to recruit Puli, and successfully mixed in, and continued to try to spy on Cao Cao's intelligence, but after all, Cao Cao is also a small wealthy family in the Central Plains, and there is a relatively mature method for how to manage the Portuguese currency in the family, so for a while, they have not been able to get any chance in the close surveillance, however, this group of children is obviously not ready to give up, they are still ready to continue to lurk.
It was around this time that a secret visit from an uninvited guest caught their attention.
The one who opened the side door for this secret visitor was a little friend of Xia Shan, because he had just entered the mansion, he had not yet received any useful position, so he had to be in charge of guarding the side door, unexpectedly, he accidentally ran into such a big thing! So after he invited this secret guest into the mansion, he quickly met with the other friends to discuss how to overhear his conversation with Cao Cao.
A little friend quickly revealed himself and said bravely, I am now responsible for delivering water to the study, and the guest of the silver sister will definitely be received by Cao Cao in the study, so you might as well take advantage of that opportunity to hide in the study while delivering water, and then record their conversation process 1510.
However, beside him, there was a little friend who let out a cold snort, only to hear the man say: "Just your radish brain, what can you remember the content of the conversation, I'm afraid that the ear on this side will put the words in, and the ear on the other side will let the words go, I think, you still let Brother Shan pretend to be you, mix in to deliver water, his brain is better, because I once studied in a private school, and the kung fu in my hands was also discovered by the guidance of a master, what's wrong, maybe you can also escape by taking advantage of people's unpreparedness." ”
The mountain brother he said in his words naturally refers to Xia Shan.
Xia Shan heard his suggestion, and also felt that this matter had to go by himself, in addition to the few elements he said, there was also a point that he had followed Suning for a long time and dealt with many people at the official level, at least he could recognize the mysterious guest. And if he let his friends go, the probability would be much lower, so he took his friends' clothes without hesitation, dressed up as him, and prepared to serve tea to Cao Cao and the mysterious guest.
He cautiously pushed open the door, put two cups of brewed tea next to Cao Cao and the mysterious guest, and peeked at the appearance of the mysterious guest, only to see that under the cloak, there was an extremely familiar face, he couldn't help but shudder, fortunately, the clothes were relatively wide, and the lights were relatively dim, so that the other party did not notice his abnormality.
However, that person's face surprised him inexplicably, this person turned out to be Zhang Niujiao who followed Suning back to Liangzhou.
As one of the luckiest apprentices of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, he followed Suning back to Liangzhou, originally wanting to learn the Pangu teachings founded by Suning, however, he somehow got involved with the people in the officialdom! And the Cao Cao in front of him is also an unconscious character, the two of them met so secretly, could it be because of some ulterior conspiracy?
