Chapter 146: Intelligence Warfare

From throwing out Shanxi merchants to conspire with the enemy to determining the expansion of the scale of the Mongolian imperial alliance, Yang Reform and Sun Chengzong talked for more than an hour in the warm pavilion.

Cao Huachun watched outside as many guards surrounded the hall, and when he asked again, he learned that the emperor and the emperor were discussing very important matters, so this effect made Cao Huachun envious, when would he get so much attention from the emperor!

Cao Huachun waited for more than an hour.

Sun Chengzong finally came out, his face was calm, he couldn't see joy and sorrow, and went straight out of the palace.

When Wang Chengen saw Sun Chengzong coming out, he hurriedly entered the main hall and entered the warm pavilion to see the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was sitting there properly, Wang Chengen was relieved, and the time for this secret conversation was too long.

"Your Majesty is fine, the slave and maid will rest assured." Wang Chengen said with an expression of finally relieved.

"Hehe, what can it be? This, has Cao Huachun arrived? "Yang Reform has worked out and laid out specific details and steps with Sun Chengzong, and Cao Huachun is also an important part of it.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been a long time, and I'm seeing you outside the palace." Wang Chengen replied.

"Well, then summon it."

…… Cao Huachun cautiously entered the main hall, cautiously entered the warm pavilion, and cautiously kowtowed to the emperor.

"Slave maid Cao Huachun knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Well, get up."

Cao Huachun got up and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty has to do when you call the slaves and maids over?" Cao Huachun is busy with the affairs of the "Military Intelligence Bureau". Busy arranging the details of the north, preparing to collect intelligence on Mongolia and the Eastern Captives, this is his main "business".

"I summoned you here today to ask you, how did you do with the task I gave you last time? Got a clue? Yang Gai first talked to Cao Huachun about the task, which was to go to the south to find Xu Xiake. When I first prepared to use Cao Huachun, I told Cao Huachun that it would be reused only after completing the task, but due to the urgency of the military situation, Cao Huachun was used in advance and began to prepare the intelligence system in advance.

Cao Huachun was a little embarrassed, the task given to him by the emperor was to go to the south to find someone, and the emperor provided some information about this person, but this is just the north-south journey, and it will take a month or two to go back and forth quickly, and this task is only a little more than a month now, how can there be any results.

"Back to Your Majesty, the one Your Majesty is looking for, the slave and maid are trying to find out, because this road is really far away, even if the south has been found, it will take a month or two to send people to the Jingshi! Please also ask Your Majesty for a few days of forgiveness. "For this problem, even the emperor can't help it, people can't fly, so this can only wait.

"Well, I'm just wondering if you're serious about your errands, not in a hurry to meet people, just to test your abilities." Yang Gai planned to use Jinyiwei to find Xu Xiake, so that he could carry forward this geography and serve the geography of the three major classes, but unfortunately, even Jinyiwei could not immediately conjure people out.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, the slave will definitely do her best to find this person for Your Majesty." Cao Huachun replied to the emperor with a resolute face.

"Okay, I said, it's just to test your ability, you don't have to worry too much, I asked you to set up a 'military intelligence bureau' to collect intelligence on the north outside the border, how did you do it?"

Cao Huachun saw that the emperor said this, and he also had some confidence, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid has already put this 'military intelligence bureau' into operation, recruited a lot of experts, and has sent several batches of detailed work, I don't think about it, there will be new news back, in addition, the slave maid got the news, it is said that this time, Donglu and Lin Dan Khan went to war, under the pretext that Lin Dan Khan's tribe repeatedly killed the envoys of Donglu to persuade him to surrender, and refused Donglu's request to return to obedience." In addition, it is also said that this Lin Dan Khan robbed his subordinates of the pasture, as if it was the tribe that killed the envoy of the Donglu, and then, the robbed tribe united with some tribes to fight Lin Dan Khan......"

Cao Huachun only cared about his own "happiness" to introduce the "plot" for His Majesty, and showed his outstanding ability in front of the emperor, but he didn't expect how bad what he said.

Yang Gai understood the first few words, that is, the Military Intelligence Bureau has been operating and has sent spies, but in the back, it seems to be a heavenly existence. Yang Reform only understood Lin Dan Khan, and the wild boar skin beat Lin Dan Khan...... Others, who is in league with whom, who fights whom? Who helps whom? Didn't understand at all. What's even more odious is that the whole article is "supposed", and there is even a "legend" This thing appears, Yang Reform is about to collapse, is this how intelligence is done? Yes, today it is "said" that the United States is going to launch a nuclear weapon to attack China, and tomorrow China will retaliate with nuclear weapons according to the "legend."

"Cao Huachun, you wait, I ask you, is this how you engage in intelligence? The whole text of 'maybe', 'maybe', 'suppossibly', and even 'legend', does it make any sense for you to give me such news? If you're like this, I might as well run outside the south gate and listen to the storyteller talk about the ancients. Yang Gai expressed his dissatisfaction with this attitude and way of doing things.

Although Cao Huachun was startled, he stood there awkwardly, looked at the emperor cautiously, and said in his heart: I didn't say anything wrong! Doesn't that mean you have to leave three points? If something happens, it's good to leave room for maneuver, if everything is solid. If something goes wrong, we can't afford that.

"Cao Huachun, what do I ask you? Is this how you do intelligence? "Maybe", "maybe", "supposedly", "legend", can these things appear in the information? How do you want me to use your information to handle things? Is it your 'legend' that all the captives are dead, and I will have a national celebration tomorrow? , What did I tell you before, the situation in Mongolia and the Eastern Captives, everything must be detailed, you are good......" Yang Reform was furious, even himself, a military amateur, knew that intelligence could not be done like this, but now his own intelligence leader is doing this.

Cao Huachun panicked at this time, the emperor was really annoyed, and quickly knelt on the ground, claiming guilt.

Looking at this "layman" level intelligence chief, Yang Gai felt that he was white enough for the military, but he didn't expect to get an even whiter person to be the intelligence chief, and the world was really full of all kinds of incredible things. Yang Gai felt that he should bring the TV series "Secret Calculation" to this intelligence chief to show him, so that he could know what intelligence warfare was.

Yang Reform, who has no movies, let alone television, had to work hard to sort out all kinds of "information" about intelligence warfare from TV series, movies, and novels in his mind, and teach Cao Huachun the "knowledge" he didn't have.

"Cao Huachun, after that, all the information, no 'maybe', 'maybe', 'supposed', 'legend' these ambiguous words, for the unclear, we must find a way to figure it out, for those who have doubts, we must find a way to get rid of the doubts, for the news that cannot be confirmed, then we must find a way to confirm, 'murder', 'kidnapping', 'extortion', 'coercion', 'theft', 'torture', 'buying', these Jinyiwei, Dongchang is not very good? It can be used in intelligence warfare, you have to remember my words, intelligence is also a battlefield, it is a war that cannot see the smoke of gunpowder, and the victory or defeat of intelligence warfare is related to the actual movements of both sides of the enemy and us, that is to say, intelligence warfare is related to the safety of our Ming Dynasty, understand? ”

Every word of Yang Reform made Cao Huachun's head lower a little, and when Yang Reform said that it was related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Huachun's head was already next to the floor.

Cao Huachun was embarrassed by the emperor's words, and he was even more shocked, who would have thought that 'murder', 'kidnapping', 'extortion', 'coercion', 'theft', 'torture' and 'bribery', these words can be said from the end of an emperor, what kind of emperor is this? Huang Yanjing was taken badly, and Cao Huachun suddenly felt that this emperor seemed to know Jinyiwei better than himself. There's not much else to do but lower your head in your crotch.

"The slave and maid understand......" Cao Huachun saw that the emperor finished speaking, and hurriedly picked up.

"Well, it's good that you understand, I just heard you say, what Dongyu went to fight Lin Dan Khan? Why did Lin Dan Khan rob the property of his subordinates again? Explain to me what this is all about. ”

For the news of Mongolia and wild boar skin, the Ming Dynasty is a black eye, I don't know what happened over there, Yang Reform launched the "Military Intelligence Bureau", the news is gradually summarized, there are a little eyebrows, of course, to analyze the news.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have heard the news of the minister, but it has not been confirmed." Cao Huachun is now learning and selling, and earnestly implements the emperor's orders.

Yang Gai was speechless, and said: "This, forget it today, let's talk about it first, and then go to confirm, remember to send more people, the money is not enough to support the silver from my internal funds, what I want to see is the effect, what I want is transparency in Mongolia and the Eastern Captives, every move will not escape my eyes, understand?." "Although Yang Reform doesn't know much about military affairs, before crossing over, he was just an otaku, not a graduate of a military academy, let alone a special soldier, but he is also a perennial interstellar player, and he naturally knows what the map represents with all his might, so he is pursuing this effect with all his might, to win a war, everything starts with the transparency of the battlefield, just like this StarCraft, cheating when fighting against people, and having a huge advantage when the map is fully open. [Khan, some rookies play passwords, add money, speed up, open maps, and still lose, so I won't discuss this. 】

Cao Huachun was thrilled by the emperor's words, the emperor attaches so much importance to this intelligence war, it seems that he has done a lot, and the money is directly spent from the internal funds, and he is even more excited.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is like this, according to the news that the slave maid gets, it was the Donglu who sent an envoy to a certain subordinate tribe of Lin Dan Khan, asking this tribe to surrender, but this tribe repeatedly killed the envoy of the Dongyu, and later, the Donglu raised troops to attack this tribe, this tribe could not resist, and was defeated, Lin Dan Khan learned that the Donglu attacked his subordinate tribes, so he also raised troops to crusade against the Dongyu, and then I don't know how, this Lin Dan Khan did not fight with the Dongyu, but robbed the herdsmen of this subordinate tribe and it was over, so, This subordinate tribe joined forces with several other tribes to fight Lin Dan Khan's ......, and that's about it. Cao Huachun told everything he knew.

"......" After listening to Cao Huachun's words, Yang Reform finally understood that the protagonist of this story ......, this Lin Dan Khan is unreliable! Not to mention not to help his subordinate tribes, but also robbed his own subordinate tribes, this ......, I have to say that he is a talent, and it also makes Yang Reform firmly believe that this Mongolian side has never been a centralized country, let alone the concept of a country, "everything for the tribe", everything speaks with fists, everyone listens hard to whom, as long as he shows his "muscles" to Mongolia, this Mongolian imperial army is estimated to be able to become an army soon. Thinking of this, Yang Gai felt that something could be done.

"Cao Huachun, what is this tribe called? Can you take refuge in the East now? Since he dared to kill the envoy of the Eastern Captives, he must have a deep hatred with the Eastern Captives, but he can be used by our court. Yang Gengai thought that this Lin Dan Khan was not as strong as a tribe under him, this tribe dared to kill the envoy of the wild boar skin, if he could, he could be included in the "Imperial Army, if not, then he could also "buy" it, spend some money, let him continue to fight with the wild boar skin, and weaken the strength of the wild boar skin.

"Your Majesty, this ...... This one...... Your Majesty, this ...... There are many tribes in Mongolia, and the names are weird and awkward, and you have to wait for the ministers to check them to find out...... "Cao Huachun broke out in a cold sweat, why is this damn Mongolian name so awkward?" It's so bad that I can't remember it all the time.

"......" Yang Gai was speechless again, his intelligence leader ...... and a layman.

"Cao Huachun, after you go back, immediately find out the name of this tribe, find out the situation of this tribe, including population, combat power, economy, geographical location, and then find out the grievances between this tribe and Dongyu, and see if it is possible to buy it, support it, help them, or if you are willing to accept my recruitment and become the imperial army, it is best to let them continue to fight with Dongyu, this matter, you have to be careful, make a plan, immediately send people to verify the situation, contact this tribe, no, Immediately contact these tribes who have enmity with the Eastern Captives...... "Yang Gai had to teach this intelligence leader how to engage in "intelligence" by hand.

Cao Huachun was stupid, he didn't expect that this emperor could still toss so much, come up with countless fresh words, and have so many means.

"Cao Huachun, do more homework after you go back, today, I won't talk about this, let's talk about something else." Yang Reform said a lot of words, his mouth was foaming, and he felt that he was really tired of doing this emperor! If you have nothing to do, you have to teach your subordinates how to be a "spy".

Cao Huachun was at a loss: "......", waiting for the emperor to "discuss" other things with him.

"Cao Huachun, I said today, I have recruited a Mongolian tribe of about 5,000 people, I am ready to let this Mongolian tribe go to inquire about the news of Mongolia, they are Mongolians, they have a natural advantage in listening to intelligence, their tribe, there are probably hundreds of soldiers, I have compiled them as the 'First Association of the Imperial Cooperative Army', I promised to give each of them a guarantee of one or two silver per month, and then according to the value of the information, pay for their information, this matter, I am ready to let you and the leader of that tribe to contact,' The Military Intelligence Bureau has just been formed, and it is very difficult to go deep into the desert steppe to spy on the news without a local to lead the way, understand? I have found you a guide to lead the way, you have to make good use of it, and study hard. ”

"After a while, I will recall Mangui, and there will be 6,000 people at that time, and I will divide these 6,000 people into 6,000 people, and then demarcate a certain area outside the border wall for these 6,000 people to go where to sweep, clean up some tribes that are disrespectful to our dynasty, and at the same time, recruit more 'Imperial Cooperative Army' who are willing to join our dynasty, I want to use this." The Imperial Allied Army's 'to harass the Eastern Prisoners, so that the Eastern Prisoners did not dare to enter the customs with all their might, and even attacked the Eastern Prisoners' lair, telling you this, I want you to provide information for Mangui, pave the way for the sweep, match the formation of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and the most important thing is to exercise the ability of the Military Intelligence Bureau, understand? ”

"After you go back, contact the leader of the small tribe who has returned to my dynasty, talk first, and when Mangui's army arrives, divide his tribe into six parts, each one, and cooperate with a thousand-person team to sweep it, if they have any abnormalities or two hearts, they can be killed, and this sweep must be a success."

Cao Huachun was stunned and listened to the emperor's explanation of the "grand blueprint" for a long time, and finally understood what he was going to do. Said: "Obey, Your Majesty, the slave and maid understand, and they will not disappoint Your Majesty." ”

"Well, it's good that you understand, go back and think about what to do, go ahead."

After Cao Huachun thanked him and kowtowed, he withdrew.

Yang was quite tired and ready to take a break. This matter, finally arranged, just wait for Man Gui to come back, this sweep is necessary, you can show Mongolia your "muscles", so that later, when the wild boar skin instigated them to enter the customs and rob, they had some concerns, and they could also recruit some "imperial army" to snatch the "reserve military aid" of the wild boar skin.

As for this Lin Dan Khan, Yang Reform only knows a little about him, and a little impression is that he is not the opponent of the wild boar skin at all, and he was killed by the wild boar skin in a few clicks, and he is a waste one, and today I listened to the "news" reported by Cao Huachun, and found that this lord is also an unscrupulous guy, who doesn't seem to go through his brain, and even robs the things of his own tribe, does this still have a brain? Yang Reform couldn't help but scold in his heart "idiot, waste one", from the beginning, Yang Reform didn't look down on this Lin Dan Khan, and was very uninterested in him, and now listening to this Cao Huachun talk about his "great achievements", he was even more indifferent to him, and despised him very much.

But think about the enemy of this enemy is a friend, this Lin Dan Khan and the wild boar skin do not deal with each other, I may be able to help him, let him and the wild boar skin fight a little more happily. However, we should not give up our own sweep of Mongolia just because we wanted to help Lin Dan Khan, and we must step up the integration of the "Imperial Cooperative Army". Because of this Lin Dan Khan, he was killed by a wild boar skin in a few clicks, plus his brain is not good and unreliable. Yang Gengai rubbed his head and decided to search for how Lin Dan Khan died tonight, and what his ability and combat record were. When the time comes, maybe you can "help" him.
