Just as Feng Yunshan came to Fan Ruzeng and was about to ask him to increase the detailed arrangements in the Jiangnan region and strengthen intelligence gathering, Fan Ruzeng also came to Feng Yunshan with a secret report in his hand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ru Zeng, the Holy Kingdom has expanded rapidly recently, and the territory has more than doubled compared to the original, but the detailed brigade has always only had an establishment of 4,000 people, and there must be insufficient manpower." Feng Yunshan looked at Fan Ruzeng, who was only fifteen years old in front of him, and wanted to blame him more severely, but he couldn't bear it: "But you can't ignore the intelligence from all over the world!" Look at Uncle Tianyang's death in battle, so many days have passed, and you haven't heard any news about the brigade. There is also the change in Tianjing City, Yang Xiuqing has successively used Heavenly Father to go down to earth, I don't know? That's a bit of a stretch! ”

"Holy King, you are guilty, please ask the Holy King to punish you, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the people! It is true that the detailed brigade is still very weak in intelligence reconnaissance. In many places, it is difficult to go deep without local meticulous work. Fan Ruzeng looked terrified.

Feng Yunshan also knew that this intelligence work was difficult to do. Unlike the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which occupied China for nearly 200 years, its rule has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Once there is something disturbing in the township or city, the villagers will immediately think of telling the local chief, and the chief is a representative of the local squire, who has a close relationship with the government and will report the news in time.

What the Meticulous Brigade lacks, however, is this source of information and intelligence. Relying only on those people in the meticulous brigade, asking around, Feng Yunshan also knew that the source of intelligence was limited. Especially in enemy-occupied areas, where the accents are different, and they dare not make a noise, they have to be vigilant at all times to be seen through when they quietly go around, and it is indeed very difficult.

However, it is indeed as Fan Ruzeng said, it is indeed Fan Ruzeng's responsibility to have problems that have not been detected by so much news.

"In this case, you will be removed from the post of Deputy Minister of Police as a punishment. In addition, considering that the Hosaku Brigade is an army establishment and is difficult to adapt to intelligence gathering work, this king has decided to change the name of the Hosaku Brigade to the Special Affairs Operations Division, referred to as the Special Services Division, which is under the direct management of this king, and you will concentrate on serving as the director of this special services department in the future. Feng Yunshan thought about it, and was still ready to reorganize the detailed brigade, and a large amount of intelligence in the future would be obtained from the people, or should it be a popular spy organization structure in the future, and it would be better to integrate the entire intelligence agency into the entire society from all walks of life.

"In the future, you may not be organized according to the army, and the king will only be responsible for allocating 300,000 taels of silver to you every Chinese New Year's Eve for the time being, and you will be responsible for providing all kinds of information and performing other tasks to the king. In this way, your secret service department can recruit personnel in the vicinity and recruit local civilian employees in various places, which is more conducive to intelligence gathering. Feng Yunshan roughly recalled the way of doing the secret services in later generations, although it was not exhaustive, but he barely said a few points: "This king has thought about it, and in the future, your secret service department will be mainly responsible for collecting political, economic and military intelligence at home and abroad, and engaging in espionage intelligence and foreign counter-espionage activities. Under the Special Services Division, there are six sub-divisions, including the Military Division, the Intelligence Division, the Operations Division, the Communications Division, the General Affairs Division, and the Personnel Division. ”

Through more than two years of self-study, Fan Ruzeng not only learned to write, but also learned to record quickly. At this moment, he felt that what the Holy King said was like a heavenly sound, so he hurriedly took out the paper and recorded it.

"The specific division of responsibilities can be roughly arranged as follows: the Military Department is in charge of military intelligence and foreign international intelligence, and seeks information on the generals and troops in the army, as well as the relevant information of the main generals and armies of the Manchu Qing and Taiping Heavenly Kingdoms;

The Intelligence Department is responsible for the intelligence of the officials, merchants, workers, peasants and other strata of the Holy Kingdom, as well as the relevant information of the main officials, major economies and citizens of the Manchu and Taiping Heavenly Kingdoms;

The Operations Department is responsible for the operational tasks of the Special Services Division, and carries out the planning, deployment, command, and implementation of the special operations in advance.

The Communications Service is responsible for the transmission of information, target surveillance, reconnaissance and intelligence analysis and decipherment.

The General Services Service is responsible for the logistics management, budget control and coordination of the entire Special Services Division.

The Personnel Department is responsible for the skills training, assessment and promotion of all personnel of the department, the recruitment and introduction of spies, the liaison with peripheral organizations, and the instigation of rebellion and bribery of personnel of hostile forces. ”

In addition, in order to strengthen intelligence gathering, the secret service department should not only set up stations in the occupied areas of the Holy Kingdom, but also set up offices in the areas occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In the future, it will also recruit foreign employees and set up offices in the hometowns of foreigners to facilitate intelligence gathering and operations. ”

"The headquarters of the Special Service Department is located in Guangzhou, and it is divided into several intelligence districts, such as Jiangnan District, Northwest District, Zhili District, Northeast District, etc. For example, the northeast region can be divided into Shengjing Station, Jilin Station, Heilongjiang Station and North Korea Station. The important large cities or important state capitals under each province can set up intelligence offices, such as Yongzhou Office, Guiyang Office, Hengzhou Office, Yuezhou Office, Jingzhou Office, etc. Through this hierarchy, intelligence is effectively collected and monitored. ”

After talking about the division of responsibilities of these six major offices in one breath, there may be many omissions, but Feng Yunshan can't take care of so much.

If Fan Ruzeng can set up this special operations department according to what he said, it will be very good. After all, his energy is limited, so he can only smash in 300,000 taels of silver every year, and the rest depends on Fan Ruzeng.

Moreover, if Fan Ruzeng really established all the major regions, stations, and offices, 300,000 taels of silver per Chinese New Year's Eve would not be enough, and it would definitely increase in the future. Feng Yunshan knew that the company opened by Boss Dai in later generations had a maximum of 50,000 internal and external staff, not only throughout China, but also penetrated into Southeast Asia, Europe, America and other parts of the world.

What Feng Yunshan has to do is to imitate future generations and train Fan Ruzeng to become another Dai boss and only serve himself.

"Ru Zeng, the personnel of the Operations Department will be determined first. There were not enough personnel in the original fine brigade, and this king allowed you to choose from among the various armies. In addition, the first batch of cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy has graduated, and they can select personnel from the Investigation Section and the Political Section, and they will be transferred to your Special Service Department on a priority basis. Feng Yunshan thought of the two traitors, gritted his teeth and said, "As soon as the operation department is in place, I will dispose of the two traitors Qiu Changdao and Zhang Daguang for this king." ”

"Yes!" Seeing Feng Yunshan's angry appearance, Fan Ruzeng felt that he was very incompetent, and secretly vowed that he must eradicate those two scum as soon as possible.

"By the way, Ru Zeng, why are you in such a hurry to find this king?"

"Holy King, that's right." Fan Ruzeng was stopped by Feng Yunshan and said a lot of things about the intelligence agency, and this time he reminded him that he remembered the big thing he had come to report.

"According to your instructions from the Holy King, the Hosaku Brigade sent several Hosaku to lurk around Shanghi City last year, and today, Ru Shui received a message from Shanghi City. Several gangs in Shanghai City have recently united and formed a unified secret gang called the Shanghai Xiaodao Society under the banner of 'Yixing Company', and the number of people has reached thousands. ”

"Knives? Thousands! Feng Yunshan patted his head and secretly scolded himself for his age, and his acute situation was getting worse and worse: he even ignored such a major event as the uprising of the Hi Little Knife Society. I should have remembered it a long time ago.

The Shanghi Little Knife Society Rebellion was an important branch of the Taiping Rebellion. But Feng Yunshan remembered that in history, it should be half a year after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established the capital of Tianjing, and two or three months after the uprising of the Xiamen Little Knife Society, the Shanghi Little Knife Society was established and began to cause trouble.

Historically, the establishment of the Shanghi Xiaodao Society was mainly due to the occupation of Tianjing by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the troops approaching the Jiangnan region, and the Manchu court transferred the troops from the Jiangnan area near Shanghi to Tianjing to form the Jiangnan battalion, which led to the extremely weak Qing soldiers in Shanghi City, which gave Shanghi a gang of Hui parties a chance to take advantage of it.

At that time, the Manchu government in Shanghi faced the fierce impact of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the continuous invasion of the concession and the expansion of power by foreigners in Shanghi, and was too busy to take care of itself, unable to effectively suppress the secret society.

In this way, if calculated according to the Gregorian era, it should be the turn of the summer and autumn of 1853, and there was an uprising of the Xiaodao Society in Shanghi, why is it already the spring of 1854, and the Shanghi Xiaodaohui has not yet started an uprising, but only began to form and prepare for an uprising?

Feng Yunshan was a little puzzled. The history he mastered, because of his arrival, has long since changed.
