The Yinghua government is going to the countryside, and the structure is very incomprehensible, while the military and political structure of the three halls and six departments of the Tianwang Mansion plus the military order hall looks like the three provinces and six departments of the Sui and Tang dynasties plus the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, but the inside is shrouded in mist, and it does not go deep into practice, nor does it understand the specific operation of power and responsibility. However, it is this set of administrative affairs that has already presented the central government's administrative framework for the localities, which not only took over the Manchu government's governance of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian, but also made people feel stable and prosperous.

In contrast to the fact that he borrowed the mature governance structure of later generations, he was naturally able to do it in depth and detail, while his intelligence department was more advanced and completely extraordinary, which was completely beyond several eras.

The Praetorian Guard Office headed by Yu Hanyi is directly subordinate to the Tianwang Mansion, and its surname is the same as the FBI of a certain imperialist power, and its tasks are divided into three layers from the inside out, one is to investigate and deal with threats that endanger Li Shi's personal safety, the second is to eliminate threats against key officials and key departments, and the third is to resist the spies of the Qing court.

Shang Jun's Tiandihui is a secret organization that does not see the light, and it is controlled by Li Shi, whose surname is the same as that of the CIA of that big country, and the scope of activities is outside Yinghua, so the task is relatively complicated. Spying on the movements of the Qing court is the most basic work, and this work has already covered too much. To this end, it is constantly infiltrating the government and the people under the rule of the Qing court, and building an intelligence network.

The Military Intelligence Department in charge of Luo Tangyuan was assigned to the Military Command Department and was dedicated to military services. Not only is it shouldering the mission of drawing up military maps, but also the army and navy military scouts and sentinels must provide military information to them. With the help of a number of captured important members of the Qing Green Battalion, the Military Intelligence Department also developed its own intelligence network in the Qing Army's Green Battalion. Although compared with the Praetorian Guard Department and the Heaven and Earth Society, the scale is the smallest and the personnel are the least, but the authority is parallel to Yu Shang and the others, and even Yu Shang and the others often work for Luo Tangyuan, after all, Yinghua is still focused on the military.

This set of frameworks was a professional division of labor in response to demand, and in contrast, the Manchus did not have a permanent state-level intelligence agency at all.

It is indeed unimaginable that the Manchus did not have intelligence agencies. In the era of the Han Dynasty, since the Tang Dynasty, internal and external intelligence agencies have been established one after another, such as Wu Zetian's internal guard in the Tang Dynasty, and some of the responsibilities undertaken by the Ministry of Finance in the Song and Ming dynasties. Internally, it is naturally to consolidate imperial power, and externally, it is based on pragmatism, and to a certain extent, it recognizes that China is not a central dynasty with borders, but a border, limited education, and a real foreign enemy.

In general, it was difficult to put an external intelligence agency on the table, but after all, it always existed in the system of the Han dynasty. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of War, which was still responsible for a certain spy mission, no longer mentioned the word "outside", and the original Ming Dynasty's East and West Factory Jinyiwei was also abolished as a harsh policy. The former seems to have put on the shelf of the Central Dynasty, and the latter is regarded as a symbol of "benevolent governance and leniency", and is used by many people to talk about things.

But the imperial power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has reached the extreme, and the courtiers are the slaves, and "I am the country" is well deserved. Find some henchmen among the minions, relying on the gradually developing secret folding system, everyone is a spy and monitors each other, and there is only one upline, and that is the emperor. With this policy, the face is both bright and affordable.

And what kind of external intelligence agency, since I am the country, then what is foreign and what should be known can be determined by the emperor's mind. To set up a permanent external intelligence, should we leave the distinction between inside and outside, the distinction between friend and foe, to a group of petty officials? Of course not, so in the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was no permanent foreign intelligence agency, and nominally the military department Zuo Shilang was still in charge of military affairs, but this "management" was due to events.

Specific to the practical level, of course, there are intelligence personnel, such as the Janissary Security Bureau caught the New Year's Qianyao, Fan Shichong, Chen Yuanlong, and even Mu Tingtong and Shi Shibiu's meticulous work, but it is only a military and political detail, and it is just a matter of people. Yinghua occupies a corner of the land, and there are three intelligence agencies, and in terms of intelligence capabilities, Yinghua has thrown off the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many streets.

Whether the Qing court and Kangxi regard the northwest as a strategic priority, although it can be fruitful to sit and wait, it is not in line with the Anglo-Chinese tradition, of course, it is Li Shi's style of acting: seize the opportunity and never sit back and watch the situation. This was the case in the two battles of Qingpu and Fogang against Yinzhen before, the battle of Shaozhou, and the same was true for the subsequent attacks on Guangxi and Fujian. The little Yinghua had a three-board axe, and he couldn't lift it in one breath, so he cut out the current situation.

If the Qing court chooses the northwest as a strategic priority, Yinghua can safely show its strength, and if Yinghua is selected, the sooner it prepares, the better.

And this conclusion is due to the fact that Han Yi, Luo Tangyuan and Shang Jun gave it, and when the three of them held their first joint meeting, their faces were very solemn.

"The recent focus of the Military Intelligence Department is still in Fujian and Jiangnan Green Battalion, and the Hunan Green Battalion was just pulled up before the Nian butcher, and the infiltration is not much, the level is not high, and the information obtained is too fragmentary, and it is difficult to see the movement of the northwest from these two sides. The only sign is that the green battalions in Hunan and Jiangxi are ordering horses, but that is also when the battalion leaders heard that the northwest is going to fight, and they can't make up for the military horses, so they have made their own moves. ”

Luo Tangyuan looked at Shang Jun as he spoke, in his opinion, this matter still depends on Shang Jun.

"I don't know why the King of Heaven wants me to get involved in this matter, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me."

Yu Hanyi is the oldest, and he speaks very directly. He is in charge of internal affairs, and what decisions the Qing court wants to make, he still has to go to the house, and he has to wait for others to give him information.

"This matter is the responsibility of my brother, but I must borrow two of them."

Facing these two peers who were more than ten years younger than him, but their status was firmly on his head, Shang Jun's tone was very respectful.

"To put it bluntly, we are all doing things, and it is appropriate to help each other."

Luo Tangyuan waved his hand, Yu Hanyi nodded, and Shang Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, Li Xi already has a judgment, but he needs to find more empirical evidence by himself, and this empirical evidence cannot only come from his own side, only from Yanjing spies, and he has to get corroborating evidence from other channels.

"So...... We need Brother Luo to find out the surrounding troops, if there is no big movement around, then we can confirm that the movement is in the northwest. ”

This idea made Luo Tangyuan relaxed, that's right, if you choose one of the two, if you confirm that it is not here, the answer is there.

"Here in the general office, there should be a line of businessmen, through them to find out the situation in the northwest, I have the Qing court here to order the northwest government to raise grain, but it is only a general notice. The Tartar Emperor is now accustomed to directly instructing the Governor to do things with secret folds, and my brother and I are incompetent, and I have not yet touched the Tartar Emperor's twists and turns, so the specific extent of the Governor has to rely on the General Office to grasp. ”

Hearing the word "businessman", Yu Hanyi's brows suddenly twisted, hateful businessman...... Last year, Yu Song, a businessman from Hunan, led a businessman from Jiangxi to plot a rebellion, and he had a big heel in this matter, and since then he has not had a good impression of businessmen, and he is particularly serious when dealing with businessmen.

"This is begging them to do things, they can't beat or scold, and they have to pull down their faces, alas, ......"

The Yamen of the Praetorian Guard, Yu Hanyi sighed for a long time.

"Why don't we make a list and leave it to Boss Shang to handle it himself?"

The subordinates had a bad idea, and they were stared back by Yu Hanyi's cold eyes, Shang Jun was looking at Yinghua outside, if this hand was stretched out and mixed with the circle outside him, what would the Praetorian Guard do in the future? Besides, he has to ask others to help him with this little matter in the Praetorian Guard Department, Li Xian won't scold, and his aunt and grandmother are going to ridicule him again, etc...... Auntie?

Yu Hanyi's brain was excited, that aunt and grandmother have a way to get information from the businessman's mouth more than anyone else, no, she doesn't even need the businessman to speak, but Li Xian wants to know, will it be said that this is a violation of the rules?

"What regulation? Which article in the fourth brother's charter of duties to the Praetorian Guard Department does not allow me to provide information? ”

Guan Xuan's eyes lit up and said, when she heard that there was such a big event, she was so idle that she was excited.

"But ......"

Of course, Li Xi didn't set this kind of rule, but Yu Hanyi still vaguely regretted coming to Guan Xuan, and always felt that this matter was a little unreliable.

"Don't! I will tell the fourth brother that this is my own decision, and he will not punish anyone! He can only punish me, and he didn't punish me anyway. ”

Guan Xuan pouted, and remembered the deeds of being locked up in the dungeon by Li Xian back then.

Just let Guan Xuan relax and let off steam, Yu Hanyi comforted himself like this, and then listened to Guan Xuan greet the maid: "Go and tell Lin Xiaosi, Liu Dan and Wang Jiu that it's time for the Divine Power Bureau to act!" Let them report to me right away! ”

Divine Powers Bureau...... Yu Hanyi shuddered, Guan Xuan actually set up a secret intelligence organization!? He suddenly felt that he didn't know enough about this genius god-calculating aunt and grandmother.

Yanjing, Yinzhen's mansion, looked at Yinzhen, who was deliberately suppressing his joy, Yinzhen also tried to press the flesh of his face that was jumping, only to feel that the fourteenth brother, who was so familiar with the original, had become extremely unfamiliar.

"Starling, take out a heart-wrenching word, I almost fell into the lake when I heard what Huang Ama said at that time......"

pressed the joy, and what floated was guilt, which was an emotion from the bottom of Yinzhen's heart. Originally, he had been standing outside the card game, waving the flag and shouting for this starling, but he never thought that he was dragged into the card game by Kangxi's words in an instant, and the starling was left behind.

"This ...... That's great news, fourteen! Our brothers can finally work together to solve the problems of Huang Ama! Whining...... I...... My heart is really happy to explode! ”

Yinzhen's face flattened, took Yinzhen's hand, and cried with joy.

"General Fuyuan!? God opened my eyes, I thought, we should have someone to come out! Sure enough, it was fourteen! ”

"The fourth brother with a cold face who is dancing happily, will a face crack, haha......"

Yinyu Yinyu also came, although the two were not as exaggerated as Yinyu, they were still full of joy.

"Let's help the starling make a good cannon, and you can fight the battlefield at fourteen!"

"There is a starling's cannon, absolutely horse...... No, the cannon was done! ”

The two patted Yinzhen's shoulder while shaking Yinzhen's arm, these two people were inactive, they all listened to Kangxi's reprimand for Yinzhen before, but they felt that Yinzhen was indeed hopeless, it was when he was depressed, but Yinzhen, who didn't want to be with them, suddenly got the position of General Fuyuan, this position and that position, that is, the distance of one step and a half, no wonder they were very excited.

"Yes, yes, my cannon was made for Fourteen......"

Yin Yu wiped his eyes and gritted his teeth, hugging the three brothers.
