Chapter 39: The Underground Net and the Ranger

After the end of this war, when Zhao Weiji summed up all the reasons for the defeat, he found one thing that he did not do well, that is, the lack of intelligence.

After the battle, he felt that this war was not fought wherever the Song army wanted, but where the Khitan army asked you to fight, you only fought.

After considering this problem, Zhao Weiji decided to establish his own intelligence network, and he now has a good basic platform, that is, "Shilin Daily".

"Madam, what's going on with our Shilin Newspaper?"

"What's wrong, finally remembered that you still have such an industry? It's been a long time since you've written to me. "Knowing that her husband has no head and no brain, he must have made up his mind again.

"This word needs inspiration, in a few days, I will definitely write it to you in a few days." After choking on Chai Yu, Zhao Weiji was a little embarrassed, and his words were all plagiarized from Nalan's surname. Nalan has so many words, which one is in line with the current state, he still has to think about it, and he can read it directly quickly.

"I'm going to open a new column in our Shilin Daily, called News."

"News? What's that? "The word news Chai Yu is also the first time to hear it, and it is estimated that it is a new thing of the Immortal Sect.

"News is novelty, fresh gonzo. I plan to go to the whole country with a group of people to collect new things and anecdotes that happen in every place, and then let them write articles and publish them in the "Shilin Daily", so that everyone can understand our country. ”

"Tell the truth." Zhao Weiji's seemingly high-sounding reason was suddenly pierced by Chai Yu.

"I'm going to set up an intelligence-gathering organization, and I'm going to use the Shilin Newspaper to deliver information." Zhao Weiji, who was seen through by his wife, was a little unbearable on his face.

"That's right." Chai Yu knew that the purpose of this guy's actions every time would not be so simple, so he held himself and said that he wanted to be the emperor, so he would not do such a simple thing.

"What are you going to do?"

"At the beginning, it was just to write about the anecdotes of the whole country, and the specific intelligence work was slowly established later."

"Okay, you can do it yourself."

A few days later, all the readers of the newspaper suddenly noticed that there was an extra section in the newspaper, and that was an article about the anecdotes of other parts of the country that had begun to be published in the newspaper.

For several days, articles about different places were published, ranging from scenery to local cuisine, and even local customs.

This is exactly what Zhao Weiji has come up with, he used the "Shilin Daily" as a platform, and then hired a large number of people to go to all parts of the country to collect style, write some local characteristics, and then fly pigeons to pass on the book and send it back to the newspaper.

Of course, Zhao Guangyi also saw the article in the newspaper, but because it was just some vulgar things, none of the articles involved officialdom politics, so he didn't pay attention to it.

"What does this have to do with the intelligence system you're going to build?" After watching the national anecdotes for a few days, Chai Yu didn't see any special intelligence value, but was a little greedy, because there was an article above that described that the snacks in Shuzhong were too gluttonous.

"Of course it's useful, who is in charge of publishing articles in the newspaper now?"

"Neither our family nor the official family can intervene."

Zhao Guangyi is not a fool, and soon after the report came out, he saw the huge energy of this industry. But out of Taizu's legacy, he could not directly stop the publication of the newspaper.

But it is not without means, in the end Zhao Guangyi chose to cooperate with Zhao Weiji's family, newspapers can be distributed, and articles can also be published, but what articles can be published and what articles can't be published have the final say between the two families.

The specific measure was that the newspaper rehired editors, who were approved by the Nanyang County Prince's Government and the official family. These editors have the right to choose to publish articles. Neither the official family nor the county king's mansion can intervene.

"That's right, if I directly establish a large-scale intelligence system and often transmit information back to the capital, don't you think the officials will be aware of it?"

"It's estimated that it's enough, with the intelligence of the official family, it's hard to hide it from him."

"So I'm going to use this newspaper to deliver information."

"With a newspaper?"

"Yes, although we don't have a hand in what articles to post, it's okay to open an irrelevant column. Such a column posts some market folklore, which will not arouse anyone's suspicion, and the articles are easy to understand, and the difficulty of writing is also very low. ”

"And then?"

"Then I'm going to get all my intelligence officers to put the important information together in these articles. Believe it or not. Saying that, Zhao Weiji took today's newspaper. Then I found a random article in today's news list, and then copied it in a ten-word layout.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Weiji took another piece of cardboard, with some square holes on it, about the size of a word. I saw Zhao Weiji cover the jammed paper with the article he had just copied.

Now only the words in the hole can be seen, Chai Yu read these words that can be seen in the general reading order: "Chengdu Fulu summer grain harvest." ”

After seeing these words, Chai Yu couldn't help but be surprised, he could still transmit news like this, so that whether it was political information or not, it could be published in the newspaper in a grand manner.

The person who wrote the information first wrote down the things to be conveyed with cardboard, then removed the cardboard, used these words to expand a local folklore, and then flew the pigeon directly to the newspaper and it was over.

When the time comes, after the newspaper is issued, Zhao Weiji can just use the same cardboard to read. As long as the format is agreed on both sides, such as using a cross line when writing, it is fine.

In this way, once there is any wind and grass in every place, Zhao Weiji can be the first to know.

Thinking of this result, Chai Yu felt a chill down his spine, why didn't he know that this person was so insidious when he first got married.

Of course, Zhao Weiji saw Chai Yu's expression, and naturally knew what she was thinking: "So do you think I'm sinister?" I'm not done yet. I am also going to hire a large number of rangers to go to Liao and Xiazhou to collect information on these two places for us. ”

This aroused Chai Yu's curiosity even more: "How?" ”

"In the same way, the rangers also use the same means to transmit the intelligence back to China, and then use our domestic spies to interpret the information, and then write a new article, and then use the same means to pass it on to us."

It turned out that Zhao Weiji had already hit the idea of these rangers at the beginning of his plan to establish an intelligence network. Most of the ancient rangers had good martial arts, were good at traveling, and valued righteousness and life. However, there are many who lack a source of livelihood and can only help people to see the nursing home earn a certain amount of living expenses.

Zhao Weiji found a group of such people through Yang Yanzhao, and fooled this group of rangers to serve him from the perspective of the righteousness of the clan and the support of his family.

And luckily, he found the number one gang in the world: the Beggar Gang.

Although the real beggar gang does not have superior martial arts and righteous gang leaders as described in martial arts novels, the leader of the beggar gang here is also a chivalrous and righteous hero.

When this beggar named Hong Wu heard it, he just infiltrated the Liao State to inquire about information, and he also had money to take, so he was quickly moved.

"Mr. Zhao, your conditions are very impressive, but most of the beggars here are illiterate."

"It's okay, I'll send a caravan into the interior of the Liao Kingdom at that time, you just need to ask your beggars to tell the merchants they sent me what they have found. They'll take care of the writing. ”

"That's no problem, it's a pleasure to work with."

In this way, with the help of the beggar gang and some other rangers, Zhao Weiji's entire intelligence system was established under Zhao Guangyi's nose.

A large amount of information began to appear in front of Zhao Weiji's eyes, the most important of which was the sixth person in the Liao State, Yelu Mo.

This person, who had never been recorded in history, suddenly became the sixth person in the Liao State and had to attract the attention of Zhao Weiji.

After further exploring Yelumo's relevant information, Zhao Weiji exclaimed: "Is there really a butterfly effect? Because of my arrival, an originally unknown Khitan has a stage to show himself? ”

Zhao Weiji's inference is correct, this is indeed the butterfly effect caused by his arrival. Originally, this Yelu Mo should have been just a small grassroots officer of the Liao State, and then he was killed by a dark arrow when he was fighting Goryeo with Yelu Xian.

But due to the arrival of Zhao Weiji, Yelu Mo had the opportunity to show his skills in front of Han Derang, so he was later lent by Han Derang to Yelu Xian to conquer Goryeo, and then he was shot to death.

But through Han Derang's excavation, he fully showed his extraordinary talent, and then became famous after the Yongxi Northern Expedition and became the sixth person in Liao.

But no matter what, Zhao Weiji decided to conduct a comprehensive investigation of this Yelumo, and the results of the investigation shocked him.

From the siege of Yang Yanping Shuozhou to the defeat of the entire Yongxi Northern Expedition, there is the shadow of this person behind it.

"Sometimes the history books are really not fully credible, the Liao State still hides such a staked figure, I said that the description of Yelu Hugo and Yelu Xianzhen in the history books does not say that they have this kind of planning deeds that are all in one ring and one ring and one ring are exhausted."

At this time, Yelu Mo didn't know that after he was staring at Zhao Weiji for a long time, he himself was finally on Zhao Weiji's blacklist.

After the intelligence system began to take shape, Zhao Weiji found an embarrassing problem, there are too few talents around him, and the people who can be trusted are basically family members.

He has to start finding ways to get more talent, all kinds of things.
