Chapter 59 Intelligence Division (3)

Jinling lecture martial arts hall, back garden, Humble Administrator's Garden.

In the study, hearing Zhou Ping's report, Zhao Hong couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Zhou Ping, you are far-sighted and take precautions, which is really gratifying to me!"

Zhao Hong sighed heartily.

The master is in the people, and the wisdom of the people is infinite.

With the declining government of the Southern Song Dynasty, the external expansion was powerless, and it could only roll inward, and the Imperial City Division, which was responsible for intelligence investigation, was nothing but a prestige in the country. As soon as it comes to side matters, there is no news, and there is no follow-up.

Unconsciously, the Great Song Intelligence Department was established. Quietly, moreover, it came from his brother-in-law.

This made him inexplicably relieved. In this way, it is enough to prove that he is not nepotism, but a virtuous person who does not avoid relatives.

I don't know, it's called the Great Song Jin Yiwei, wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife at the waist, is it more stylish?

"Your Majesty is in charge of major affairs, and the ministers are just beating the side drum to check and fill in the gaps. If it weren't for His Majesty's approval, the minister wouldn't have thought of this. Your Majesty has overdone it. ”

Zhou Ping's tone was calm, without any smugness.

He only needed to transfer the officials of the Imperial City Division, and the Jinling Lecture and Martial Arts Hall transferred some competent instructors and instructors, and the Great Song Intelligence Department was established.

And in Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall to choose the right students, Wei Liaoweng and the others will naturally not obstruct it, but will fully cooperate.

"The Imperial City Division, one is in charge of the palace forbidden guards, and the other is in charge of spying and supervising. However, when it comes to espionage and supervision, it is nothing more than a matter of being in charge of the country's military situation, investigating official and civil affairs, and not knowing anything about foreign affairs. Such an imperial city division is still left to do much, and he will die early and be reborn. ”

After complaining, Zhao Hong hesitated for a moment, and said softly:

"Zhou Ping, in the future, the intelligence department will be fully responsible for the intelligence of internal and external affairs, that is, you Zhou Ping will be in charge, and you will only report to me. As for internal affairs, it is basically the same as the Imperial City Division, and the investigation of military and political officials can also detect corruption and prevent conspiracy and rebellion. ”

I'm sorry, I'm undercover!

A radio wave that never dies!

When sending undercover personnel in the future, you need to give the plan a few names, such as Iron Walnut, Blue Wolf, Kite, Infernal Affairs, or Infernal Storm, etc.

"Keep it in mind."

Zhou Ping nodded yes and continued to ask:

"Your Majesty, in addition to the Jin Kingdom, Western Xia, and the two rivers, do you want to send lurkers?"

Since he wants to restore the Central Plains, Lianghe and Jinguo, there is no doubt that they must be recovered, and it is also the focus of his dispatch of hidden personnel.

"On the Western Xia side, there is no need to send intelligence personnel, it is purely redundant. Lianghe, Shandong, and Henan must all try to penetrate. There is also Dali, sooner or later, it will be included in my Great Song Dynasty territory, and it will also be followed up slowly. ”

Do the sleepers of the Tangut faction want to live and die with the Tangut?

Zhou Ping sweated on his forehead and nodded yes.

It seems that the emperor is much more thoughtful, and all sides are considered.

"Your Majesty, the ...... of Tibet"

Zhou Ping asked hesitantly.

"Tibet?"

Zhao Hong shook his head and laughed.

On the Tibetan Plateau, the air is thin, and before the lurkers pass, I am afraid that they must first prepare 500 cubic meters of oxygen, or carry a few oxygen tubes.

The point is that there is no need to use troops to spoil Tibet, work the people and lose money.

"The climate in Tibet is harsh, hundreds of miles of uninhabited, thousands of miles of barren land, no land, it is not as good as chicken ribs, and the road is not passable, and it is difficult to transport. Paying too much and not getting it in return, this is the reason why the Central Plains dynasties of the past dynasties were reluctant to use troops against Tibet. ”

Zhao Hong explained, and Zhou Ping nodded again and again with a red face.

is as strong as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Tang Taizong, and he didn't go to fight Tubo's idea, which turned out to be because of this. The powerful Tubo Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty had already been wiped out hundreds of years ago.

"You're right, though. The Tatar army preferred the tactics of detours. It is also very likely that they crossed the Tibetan Plateau and inserted themselves from Dali into the back of our Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Hong frowned and added.

Historically, Kublai Khan's army made a detour from Tibet to Yunnan, but it did not play a big role. The Mongolian cavalry, which came and went like the wind on the plains, reached the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty with hills and rivers, but it had no effect at all, and Meng Ge died under the Diaoyu City.

"It seems that His Majesty has thought it through and has thought about this step. However, Dali is not under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and I have to be careful in the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"That's why he sent a fine work into Dali. If Dali does not surrender to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, it can only be a sword and a soldier. The same is true of Jiaozhi, what is it called Da Yue Guo, it's really a bunch of shit, how can it be reasonable? ”

On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to sleep soundly. Yunnan has been a part of China since ancient times, and there is no reason to give up.

Cochin is the Vietnam of later generations, which has been the territory of China since ancient times, and now the country is called "Da Viet", and the ruler is the Tran family, who recovered the good peace life as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows what to do."

Zhou Ping bowed his hand, and his heart was clear.

It seems that when recruiting intelligence personnel, the Intelligence Department also recruits talented people from the southwest and Guangxi.

The Great Song Dynasty is now full of disadvantages and waiting to be rebuilt, but the emperor has already considered the possible state affairs in many years.

Is this stall too big?

"Zhou Ping, the Imperial City Division is already rotten, so the matter of this secret investigation and secret visit will be taken over by the Intelligence Department."

Thinking of what happened to Yan Chun, Zhao Hong solemnly admonished.

"Lin'an City and Jinling, as well as Yangzhou, Xiangyang, Lizhou and other important border towns, must be carefully investigated. There is also the Weapons Manufacturing Division, and the construction of firearms is an important weapon of the country. I am afraid that there are many meticulous spies of the enemy country, and we must not be careless. If there is not enough manpower, it can be transferred from the Jinling Lecture Hall. ”

"I'll arrange it right away."

Zhou Ping continued to speak, and it seems that he has considered it all.

"Your Majesty, in this case, I am afraid that there will also be intelligence officers in the army. The military situation is like fire, otherwise it will be too late to investigate when something happens. ”

The gendarmerie of later generations maintained discipline in the army and ensured the implementation of military orders, which may be the solution to the problem.

"Zhou Ping, you're right. We intend to establish military pickets in the various armies of the Great Song Dynasty to maintain military discipline, restrain the behavior of other soldiers, and deal with traitors and criminals in the army, especially those who violate military discipline. In other words, all violations of law and discipline in the army are dealt with by the pickets. When the time comes, personnel from the Intelligence Department can be arranged to enter the army to check and fill in the gaps. ”

The reason why it is called a picket is because there should not be too many non-commissioned officers to picket the affairs of the army, and a group of 30 to 50 pickets should be set up in an army of about 3,000 to 5,000 people, and the ratio of 100 to 1 is basically appropriate.

Of course, pickets are not the only ones to do these things, and when the military situation is urgent, pickets also go to the battlefield.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhou Ping hurriedly bowed to the order.

In addition to setting up an anti-corruption department to punish corruption among officials, the emperor now uses the military police to picket the army and eliminate corruption in the army, which can be described as good governance.
