Chapter 408: Change the subject

Along the Hunhe River in the south of Shenyang, there are simple floating wharves everywhere, where a large number of inland barges dock every day, and then unload large quantities of materials to be sent to construction sites all over Shenyang.

The management committee has already made plans for the construction of Shenyang, abandoning the renovation of the old city and building a new urban area on the north bank of the Hunhe River. At present, the infrastructure construction of underground pipe networks such as water supply and drainage, heating, electricity, and communications is being carried out.

Ren Chaoxin, deputy director of the company's construction committee, is conducting field surveys with a large number of experts and technicians in Shenyang New City. In fact, the company's life in modern society has been planned in several major cities such as Shenyang, but they are all based on the data of modern society. The topography of this era is very different from that of modern society, so it is necessary to revise the plan that has been made before construction.

The company's Northeast Railway plans to start construction of the Vladivostok-Shenyang railway in at least a year. Therefore, the current traffic in eastern Liaoning is still dominated by waterways. Moreover, the flow of the rivers in Liaodong in this era was quite large, and waterway transportation was the main means of logistics transportation in the Far East for many years to come.

Therefore, the company will establish a large number of port wharves and coal and water replenishment points in the major rivers of eastern Liaoning to ensure the smooth navigation of steam inland river barges. After all, the cost of waterway transportation is much lower than that of railways, making full use of the rich river resources in eastern Liaoning and the outer northeast to ensure logistics and transportation in various places.

Several port terminals will be built on the north bank of the Hunhe River, and a large logistics center will be established here. In the future, the railways and highways of Liaodong will also converge here. In addition, the company will also build Dalian Port and Yingkou Port, and form a variety of transportation modes such as inland waterways, shipping, railways, and highways in eastern Liaoning. In the future, Liaodong will form a one-stop logistics and transportation system including transportation, handling, storage, safekeeping, packaging, loading and unloading, circulation and processing, etc., to meet and promote the needs of Liaodong's economic development.

The company received a large number of Liao people in Liaodong, as well as immigrants introduced from Daming in the future. It will also be placed near the main transportation and logistics channels, and then based on these areas, it will slowly radiate to the surrounding areas, and finally achieve the purpose of controlling the entire territory of Liaodong.

To control Liaodong and the Outer Northeast, the first thing that needs to be solved is the transportation problem. Without a reliable logistics and transportation network, everything is nonsense. Only a perfect logistics and transportation network can ensure the absolute control of the Far East over Liaodong and the Outer Northeast. Of course, this is a long-term and difficult task, but the Far East Company must complete this difficult task.

Before 1650, the Far Eastern Company would enter the customs. Began to chase the Central Plains. Therefore, the company must absolutely control Liaodong and the Outer Northeast before this. It will also be the www.biquge.info of the Far East, establishing a complete industrial system and actively preparing for the future hegemony of the world.

Zhou Billy came to the north bank of the Hunhe River on a river barge, and now the banks of the Hunhe River are like a huge construction site, full of busy people and roaring machinery. He took the luggage from the laborers who were driving the barge. And smiled and nodded goodbye to a few laborers.

A few laborers on the barge chatted very speculatively with Billy Zhou, and everyone had a very good impression of this approachable chief, and everyone waved at Billy Zhou vigorously when they parted.

Billy Zhou carried a marching backpack and walked deep and shallow in the chaotic construction site, and finally walked out of the construction site of the port wharf. He hitched a ride on a farm truck to Shenyang at the construction site and came to Shenyang all the way.

After the Military Commission moved to Shenyang, the Intelligence Department was housed in a very inconspicuous house. It was a Baylor's house, and the yard was small but quiet. The Ministry of Intelligence has fewer personnel. There were only a dozen honest warriors. The intelligence officer training center has just been moved, and it is in a Zhuangzi in Houjinbeiler, not far from Shenyang.

The Ministry of Intelligence was also very busy during this time, and Ding Xinghao and Qian Bing have been staying in Vladivostok in recent years. Their main job is to train a large number of intelligence officers. The personnel are mainly Ming immigrants, mostly from the Central Plains and Jiangnan.

The intelligence personnel trained by the Ministry of Intelligence are divided into two types, one is professional intelligence personnel, just like Zhou Weifan, the current person in charge of the company in Henan, who is mainly responsible for collecting intelligence, buying officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty, and developing supernumerary intelligence personnel in the Ming Dynasty.

There is also a kind of second-line personnel. It is mainly responsible for supporting front-line intelligence professionals. The composition of these people is much more complicated, and there are all kinds of talents who are cheating, abducting, and stealing. Zhou Billy and Ding Xinghao of the Intelligence Department. There is a complete set of management and control methods for second-line intelligence personnel.

In general, each professional intelligence officer is assigned to 5-8 second-line support personnel, who form an intelligence team. The professional intelligence officer is in charge of the work of this group and completes the various tasks assigned by the intelligence department.

Since the Ministry of Intelligence opened up the situation in Henan, the company is preparing to station several intelligence teams in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, Huguang and other provinces around Henan. They will take root in Daming as merchants and other people, and establish an intelligence network composed of a large number of local supernumerary intelligence agents with one-line contacts.

Huge sums of silver were scattered, and they made friends and bribed officials and gentry in various places. If necessary, they could even use narcotics to control local officials and gentry, using their power or local influence to serve the Far East.

Zhou Billy has been on the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he transferred more than a dozen soldiers from the field division to help him organize and train the backbone members of the Wenxiang Sect. For him, who has undergone professional training, he is very good at brainwashing or something, and in less than a year, he has made Xiao Cai and hundreds of Wenxiang Sect backbones look quite like that.

In addition, he also secretly developed a group of supernumerary intelligence personnel under Song Shiping, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang. Although Song Shiping is now following the Far East with an iron heart, in Zhou Billy's eyes, only by piercing a nail by their side can he really rest assured.

Billy Zhou stayed in the office of the Ministry of Intelligence for a while, and did not go to the training center for intelligence officers outside the city, but first to the Military Commission. At this time, only Gao Jianguo and Song Tao were in the Military Commission.

Gao Jianguo and Song Tao welcomed Zhou Billy into the house, and said to him with a smile: "Old Zhou, I heard that during this time, you have trained the members of the Wenxiang Sect in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how is the effect?" ”

Zhou Billy sat down, took the cigarette handed over by Gao Jianguo, and then said with a smile: "I came back this time to prepare to report to the Military Commission." That Xiao Cai is good, and it is worth cultivating. The others are just like that, they don't have high requirements for them, and they don't expect them to take Shandong, they just want them to cause chaos. ”

Song Tao also nodded and said: "This kid is really good, he has a smart brain, and he is also good at doing things." I just don't know if I can be loyal to the company. People who are too smart are often unreliable. ”

Zhou Billy listened to Song Tao's words and said with a faint smile: "Hehe...... A man who can do things is far more useful than a faithful man. In my eyes, there is no such thing as true loyalty, and the key life is unreliable, and it is better to use some means, even scum can become extremely loyal. ”

Song Tao and Gao Jianguo glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts, okay...... Change the subject.

Zhou Billy glanced at the two people opposite, and then said: "Xiao Cai has developed more than 400 backbones of the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong, and after a few months of training, he can basically reach the level after the first winter training of the musket militia company. This is not low, at least in Daming, it can be regarded as a strong army. I came back this time to apply for a sum of money and materials from the Military Commission, mainly to support Xiao Cai and other backbone members of the Wenxiang Sect and let them develop their strength in Shandong. ”

Gao Jianguo thought for a while and said: "You write a report and submit it to the board of directors committee of the company, if you get it, the company's planning and finance department will allocate a part of the special funds from this year's budget to your intelligence department according to the situation, but all your accounts must be clarified." The relevant departments will audit, don't be scolded by Xiao Ting in your intelligence department when the time comes. ”

Zhou Billy nodded, then he turned his head to Song Tao and asked, "The special combat team has no mission recently, right?" ”

Song Tao shook his head and said: "Shenyang has been defeated, and everyone is about to rust, is there any task of the Intelligence Department that needs our special combat team to go out." You can rest assured that our special combat team will complete the mission. ”

Billy Zhou smiled bitterly: "There is no mission, but in the near future, more than a dozen of our intelligence teams will go to Daming to set up intelligence stations." Before they go, I'd like to ask you to train them for a few days. ”

Song Tao said with a smile: "Although it is targeted, it is necessary to train systematically for at least one month." If it's a few days, it's better not to train. You informants still want to look like Bond, as for you? ”

Zhou Billy said with a smile: "This time, the Intelligence Department is preparing to train second-line support personnel. Their main job is to support and cooperate with our front-line intelligence officers, and most of them are dirty and tiring, and they can't do it without any means. In this way, how about twenty days, the training intensity might as well be larger, about the same. ”

Song Tao understood this time, so he nodded and agreed.

"This time, I also went to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong coasts to go around, and met with Song Shiping, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Xiang respectively, and their lives were not bad, hehe...... Two years ago, I planted some people around them, and they haven't been exposed yet. In addition, I plan to train a group of supernumerary intelligence personnel, and I plan to set up an intelligence station in all provinces of Daming within three years.

The Ministry of Intelligence strives to establish a complete intelligence network in Daming before the company enters the customs, so that the company can know all the information of Daming. It is also necessary to try to buy off the officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty and let them serve the Far East. (To be continued)
