However, it is only July now, and the Manchus and Qing usually have to wait until after the autumn harvest to enter the customs. After all, the Manchus enter the customs for the purpose of plundering. Now that the Ming Dynasty's autumn grain has not matured, why not grab some wheat seedlings and take them back?

Therefore, it will take at least four or five months before this time to complete the immigration process, which is enough time.

However, although the Manchus and Qing Dynasties did not enter the Pass, civil strife in the Ming Dynasty had already begun. The alliance between Wang Jiayin and Wang Er gradually grew stronger, and rebels from all over the country responded like clouds.

In mid-July, Li Chaosheng's scouting post reported that at the beginning of the month, Zhang Xianzhong in northern Shaanxi was plotting a rebellion and was reported by the local squire. The local squire went to arrest him, but several people were killed and Zhang Xianzhong escaped without a trace.

After Li Chaosheng heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded. It seemed that the next era would be an era of rebellion, and Zhang Xianzhong was the first.

But they are definitely not the last ones. Wang Jiayin and Wang Er belong to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. They play the role of attracting others. The real Liu Bang and Xiang Yu should be Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng.

And now that Zhang Xianzhong has rebelled, will Li Zicheng be far behind?

Li Chaosheng thought about asking Xizuo, has Li Zicheng been found?

Xizuo hesitated for a long time before saying: "We found a little bit, but not everything. Our people went to Mizhi County, Li Zicheng's hometown, but Li Zicheng is no longer here."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng scratched his head with a headache. His detailed system was really bad. Now the entire Lantian was covered, but after leaving Lantian, the news was checked too slowly, which was not good.

Just like Zhang Xianzhong plotting a rebellion, it happened at the beginning of the month. As a result, I only got the news in the middle of the month. When I checked Li Zicheng, I lost the whereabouts of him. This detailed work was really poor.

You know that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in every battle. Now that you don’t know anything, aren’t you just blind?

Li Chaosheng thought that it was time to upgrade his craftsmanship system, but before that, he should sort out the information the craftsmen had received.

Li Chaosheng thought and asked Xizuo to report the news that they found Li Zicheng.

Xi Zuo said: "We went to Mizhi County and found out that Li Zicheng had a difficult family since he was a child. He worked as a monk and was named Huang Laiseng. At the age of 21, he went to Yinchuan Station to work as a postman. Later, the new emperor ascended the throne and reformed the station.

Drive Li Zicheng back home."

"After returning home, he borrowed money from a local named Ai Zhaoju because of his difficult life. When he couldn't pay back the money, he was put in shackles by the county magistrate. Later, he was rescued by his nephew Li Guo. He also heard that his wife Han Jin'er had an affair with a villager named Ai Zhaoju.

Gai Hu committed adultery, killed two people in a rage, and ran away. As for where he went, we, we didn't find out."

Xizuo said to Li Chaosheng that after hearing what Li Chaosheng said, it basically matched his impression. It seemed that Li Zicheng's life trajectory was not affected by him. According to historical records, he should have defected to the Gansu frontier army at this time.

Eat among the soldiers at the border.

Then in the winter of this year, the Jin soldiers seized the pass and approached the capital. Then the frontier army general Guo Guo deprived him of food and wages. In anger, Li Zicheng led his men to kill the general Guo Guo and the local magistrate, and began to rebel, and gradually became bigger.

Li Chaosheng thought, looking at Xi Zuo very unhappy, his working ability makes people angry.

This is not possible. Taking advantage of the fact that he is familiar with history and seizes the opportunity, he should infiltrate first. No matter how high the price is, it is worth it.

Li Chaosheng thought, let the details continue, and asked people to find Bai Shoumin. After such a long period of investigation, Li Chaosheng found that Bai Shoumin was usually very gentle in dealing with others, but when he should be ruthless, he was also decisive and treated himself very well.

He is loyal enough and has many years of lurking experience, so he is a good choice for the person in charge of detailing.

"Millet."

Li Chaosheng called out, and soon Guzi came in: "Brigadier."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Go find Bai Shoumin."

"yes."

Guzi went to call Bai Shoumin, while Li Chaosheng took out a piece of paper and slowly wrote on the paper some characters who would appear in the future in the late Ming Dynasty. They were also characters who would change the direction of history in the future. Some of these people were like this

At that time, we were just refugees, some people were just starting out, and some people were still in official positions.

However, there will be great development in the future. These lists were listed one by one, and soon Bai Shoumin came in.

"brigadier."

Bai Shoumin stood at the door with a smile on his face. Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "Shoumin, have you been busy lately?"

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin said: "Don't be busy. The public security in Lantian County is very good now, and I, the county captain, have some time to spare."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "It's good to have some leisure time and ease."

Bai Shoumin smiled after hearing this and said: "Ease is ease, but it always lacks a little passion."

Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "Want passion?"

"I'll give it to you."

Bai Shoumin was stunned. Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin and said: "I am going to set up a new department, let's call it the Anbu for now. The role is very simple. As a spy, it is mainly responsible for spying on intelligence. At critical times, it can even carry out assassination operations. And this department I want to

Are you sure I'll leave it to you to take charge?"

Bai Shoumin was stunned after hearing this. Isn't this the Jin Yiwei? Entrusting him with such an important job is a huge trust in himself. This is the fact that the county magistrate truly regards himself as one of his own.

"have!"

Bai Shoumin said confidently. After hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "Your department is very important, even as much as an army. I hope this department can be pervasive so that no secret in the world can be hidden from me, and I

We will also provide maximum support to this department. If you want money, we will give you money. If you want people, I will give them to you."

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin said: "Brigadier, this, this will take time."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, you can slowly infiltrate this intelligence network. I can wait for you for five years, or even ten years."

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin said: "It doesn't take five years, I can make this intelligence network work in three years, and most of the penetration can be completed in five years."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "Very good, I don't care about the personnel. You can choose from all Lantian County. Of course, the most important thing is loyalty. Secondly, the money will not be short for you. I will allocate one hundred thousand taels to you first. If it is not enough, you can ask me

Apply and I can conduct special approval."

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin stood up and said: "The mission will definitely be completed."

Li Chaosheng nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then handed the note he wrote to Bai Shoumin. At this time, Bai Shoumin saw that it was full of names.

"These are the key personnel you want to infiltrate in the future. Send them to me, whether as soldiers, slaves, servants, wives, or guards. It can be in any form. I need to understand their actions. In addition, you

You can do business in various states and capitals along the way under the banner of Lantian Trading Company. Then I will send you telegraph machines so that you can send the news back as quickly as possible. I don’t want Zhang Xianzhong’s rebellion to happen again at the beginning of the month. I didn’t know about it until the middle of the month.

Such a stupid thing."

"yes."

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin saluted. Li Chaosheng stood up and patted Bai Shoumin on the shoulder and said: "Work hard, there is a long way to go."

Bai Shoumin expressed his understanding, and then Li Chaosheng wrote a note on the table. The content was that Bai Shoumin was performing a special task, and he would let him go immediately after seeing the note.

"Take this note and find the people you need. From my security squad to ordinary people, you can recruit them into your intelligence network as long as you need them."

"yes."

Bai Shoumin said, immediately went out, took the note to find someone, Bai Shoumin went out, Li Chaosheng called Gu Zi and said: "Gu Zi, I will give you a task, find some absolutely trustworthy people, you will form an internal investigation team for me, let's

We have a big business and we cannot allow some bad elements to infiltrate us and destroy the foundation we have finally built, do you understand?"

"clear."

After Guzi went out to carry out his mission, Li Chaosheng first organized his own spy network. At this time, many people had not made a fortune and were not worthy of being monitored. It was impossible for them to think that someone would send spies to their area at this time.

around.

Especially for the peasant rebels, Li Zicheng has not yet finished his meal. At this time, someone has come to him in a coincidental way. In the future when Li Zicheng rises up, they will be among the people Li Zicheng trusts most.

Even if Li Zicheng suspects that there is something wrong in his army in the future, he will definitely doubt the people who join him after his uprising becomes bigger.

How could he possibly have thought that when he was just a soldier in the Gansu border army, the brothers around him were doing great work?

This is simply unimaginable. Unless he cheated too, no normal person would think of this.

What Li Chaosheng has to do is to beat this time difference. In fact, Li Chaosheng is starting a little late now, but fortunately it is not too late, it is at the critical point.

It would be very difficult for them to make some noise and send spies. For example, if you want to place one or two spies next to high-ranking officials like Hong Chengchou, the difficulty is definitely several times that of placing a spy next to Li Zicheng.

However, it all depends on human effort, and Li Chaosheng is still very satisfied with his arrangement.

By spreading out spies, you can get the world's news very well, and with the existence of telegraph, the news can be conveyed to you instantly, and this advantage is unimaginable by people in this world.

You can imagine that two forces are about to fight. The enemy's headquarters has just issued an order, but the messenger has not yet passed the order to the front line. However, our side has already obtained the information in advance through telegrams and directly predicted the opponent's situation.

What's the next step? Can this battle still be fought?

As for intelligence warfare, as someone who has watched so many spy movies in his previous life, Li Chaosheng has some insights. He hand-written some simple information transmission methods, which can be regarded as a spy manual for this era.

For example, Morse code can be used to transmit intelligence. For example, one target can send multiple spies, and some spies are used for thunderstorms.

Sacrifice a spy to protect our comrades.

In addition, there is a single line of contact. The spy only knows his superior, and only the highest officer knows the identity of the spy, and no one else knows.

Etc., etc……

These common movie espionage methods of later generations, when they were proposed in this era, were ahead of their time. They were methods that people of this era had never seen before, and they would definitely shock people of this era.

After Li Chaosheng finished writing this manual, he handed it over to Bai Shoumin. Bai Shoumin polished it a little and added some details and used it as a teaching material for the spy organization. Later, Li Chaosheng's huge secret intelligence system regarded it as a textbook at the level of the ancestor, and Li Chaosheng was still

Known as the King of Spies.

A new era of espionage began.

Bai Shoumin took Li Chaosheng's note and looked for people everywhere. After two months, Bai Shoumin reported a list and submitted it to Li Chaosheng. After Li Chaosheng read it, he classified it as a top-secret document and was released by Li Chaosheng.

Back to the real world.

Is there any place in the world that is more secure than the drawer under the coffee table in Li Chaosheng's granary in the 21st century? No, there is absolutely no possibility of leaking secrets with this inter-dimensional storage method.

Bai Shoumin was not allowed to keep any archives to avoid being noticed by interested parties. Just like this, a month later, this group of people left one after another and disappeared into the boundaries of Lantian. No one knew where they went.
