One thousand two hundred and nine intelligence
Intelligence collection was a very difficult thing in ancient times and modern times, and there is no doubt that it is.
Therefore, whenever an intelligence officer with a high success rate appears, he is so famous, so that the world can remember his contribution to his own country and the harm he has brought to other countries.
Many famous figures have all told their views on intelligence agents, and some even said that they are worthy of a reorganizer alone.
This is true. The intelligence spy who perfectly completes the mission brings more benefits to the country than the war benefits brought to the country by a reorganized division on the battlefield.
That's why Xiao Ruxun worked hard to form Heishui, allowing Heishui to be scattered at home and abroad to deal with those who want to be unfavorable to Daqin, and to explore the terrain and mineral resources of neighboring countries, the degree of prosperity, military, political and economic conditions, and to have enough understanding of neighboring countries.
With the development of Hei Shui and the development of the relationship between Daqin and Europe, Xiao Ruxun even arranged teams of Hei Shui agents on merchant ships to Europe. Some caravans were even composed of Hei Shui spies. Xiao Ruxun needed them to collect information everywhere for their own use.
In order to make them better, the biggest expenditure in Xiao Ruxun's treasury was Hei Shui. Only 30% of the funds for Hei Shui's treasury were open and upright, and the remaining 70% were Xiao Ruxun's treasury, which was a shadow of darkness, and specialized in doing shameful things.
Correspondingly, in order to better serve himself, Xiao Ruxun set up Heiji to supervise and deal with Heiji. Heiji has two major responsibilities: one is to supervise and deal with officials, and the other is to supervise and deal with Heiji, which is specifically targeted at the personnel within the Daqin organization and is not responsible for targeting civilians and foreigners.
The Central Investigation Department, which uses Black Steal as its source of manpower, is the identity of Black Steal official, and is known to all the officials of the Qin Dynasty. However, there are very few people in the Qin Dynasty government, only a few people know about Black Steal.
Xiao Ruxun also paid 70% of the funding expenses of Heiji, so he opened up the mineral deposits, nationalized the metal mines, and sent people abroad to find ore to enrich his treasury.
The emperor must maintain a certain degree of economic independence and economic expenditure, otherwise it will not be enough to guarantee his own power.
Even so, the valuable and effective information that Xiao Ruxun can obtain is only about 123% of the total amount of information, while the remaining more than 80% of the information is ineffective.
But even this twelve or three percent valuable information is worth much more than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
It’s like Xiao Ruxun’s full support for Heishui, which allowed Heishui to set up several spy teams to deal with domestic and foreign intelligence personnel targeting Daqin in Daqin. They often move in places with the most crowded crowds in big cities and collect various intelligence.
Xiao Ruxun asked Hei Shui to vigorously attack these intelligence personnel, and the ones who caught the most were the Japanese. In Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Ningbo, Hei Shui successively destroyed seventeen or eighteen Japanese intelligence organizations. After interrogation, most of them were arranged by Tokugawa, and a few were from Toyotomi.
After clearing this group of people, Xiao Ruxun ordered his intelligence personnel to be more vigilant, especially in the Tianjin Weigang area where they were preparing to send troops, to eliminate all hidden dangers, and to turn the Japanese into blind people and unable to know about the Qin Dynasty's military operations in advance.
Even if the spy gets intelligence at this time, it is difficult to send it back to China. Instead of using electronic communication technology like modern times to instantly transmit it back to China, it does not exist. It must be carried by people and travel across the ocean for half a month to a month before the information can be sent back.
During this period, the Qin army had already landed and started fighting. Even if the Tokugawa clan and Toyotomi clan learned about it, they were helpless and had no time.
On April 11, Shibaki Kyushu began to attack Kyushu Island. Under the guidance of the secret spies, he successfully avoided the traps and traps set by the Tokugawa clan and launched an attack on the city. On the same day, the main force of Mama's troops on Takama Island also sent a vanguard toward Ishimi in a very timely manner.
It was not until the 12th that when the main force of Mawei's troops set sail, the information of the Tokugawa clan was sent to the hands of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been fighting continuously with Ishimi and Tokugawa clans. When Tokugawa Ieyasu learned of this information, he was commanding a battle to arrange gunners with the Tokugawa army for commanding heights.
In this battle, both sides sent the strongest generals and the strongest army. Under the plan of Misaki Ishida and Ieyasu Tokugawa, they confronted each other head-on on the battlefield. They were unwilling to retreat and handed over the commanding heights.
Toyotomi Hideji dispatched powerful Daming, led by Ukita Hidea, to lead their respective elites to launch a powerful attack on Tokugawa Ieyasu. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was at a disadvantage in number, repeatedly encountered difficulties and obstacles, but he suppressed them back with his firm attack.
The battle has been fought for three hours and the winner has not been decided. The casualties of both sides have reached thousands. Including the casualties over the past ten days, at least more than 10,000 people in the Toyotomi clan died in battle, and nearly 8,000 people in the Toyogawa clan died in battle, and only more people were injured.
Under such circumstances, both sides have few external factors in fighting for strength with real swords and guns. Mizunari Ishida's plan made Tokugawa Ieyasu feel that it was difficult to move forward.
It turns out that Toyotomi Hideji is still a little capable, and she can actually reconcile the conflict between the Ishida clan and the general faction, so that they can work together to deal with themselves.
Only then did Tokugawa Ieyasu realize that Toyotomi Hideji was not a simple character.
No wonder Toyotomi Hideyoshi chose Toyotomi Hideji as Kanbashi to take over his position.
But now that things have come to this point, Tokugawa Ieyasu no longer has the possibility of retreating. This battle must be fought to the end and cannot retreat. Once you retreat, the result will not be too miserable.
At this moment, when Tokugawa Ieyasu was commanding a thousand-man team and the Tokugawa army were fighting for the commanding heights, the artillery of the Tokugawa army and the Tokugawa army were also firing at each other. But at this moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu got the information that the Qin army set sail from North Korea and targeted Japan.
At that moment, Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that his heart was about to stop beating.
No, right? It won't be like this, right?
How could Qin do such a thing?
How could they do such a thing?
How do they have the ability to do such a thing?
All kinds of questions lingered in Tokugawa Ieyasu's mind, so that when his subordinates came to ask for reinforcements, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not react.
It was not until he stopped crying that Tokugawa Ieyasu would come back to his senses and realize that he was on the battlefield.
"Lord, Toyotomi has increased his troops again. We are not enough staff, so please help me!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu opened his mouth and said that he should have sent reinforcements to continue fighting for the commanding heights, but he could not say anything.
Judging by the time, it may be too late now.
No, I can't continue to fight. If this continues, it will be a waste.
