I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 357 Intelligence Division

Putting on the mask of immortality, imprisoned on the iron chair, without a name, living like a ghost.

This kind of life, described as life is worse than death, may be light.

This is simply the most painful torture in the world, the cruelest punishment.

Li Tian's two indifferent words were heard by several people, but it was as if their fiery hearts were instantly frozen, which made people shudder.

However, even with such cruel torture, Liu Gang gritted his teeth and agreed.

The eyes are full of light of hope, like a drowning person, grabbing a small grass, unwilling to let go even to death.

"I am willing, as long as I can survive, I am willing to spend the rest of my life to atone for my sins!"

Li Tian sneered, and said with an unpredictable expression on his face,

"Liu Gang, you should know why I spared your life!"

Liu Gang sighed,
"Except for the information contained in my head, I don't know what other things His Majesty can appreciate in this stinky body."

"That's right, I'm interested in all kinds of information in your head, but there is one thing you guessed wrong!
Much of the information you knew before is useless to me. What I want is for you to obtain information in the future. "

Hearing this, everyone was a little dazed, but Liu Gang was a specialist in intelligence, so he immediately reacted.

He was so excited that he almost trembled,

"Your Majesty intends to let the minister continue to command the Jinyiwei!"

Li Tian shook his head and said,
"Jinyiwei has become decayed and cannot be reused. I plan to establish a brand new intelligence agency, temporarily named the Intelligence Department!"

"Everyone in the intelligence department has no rank and reports directly to me. The meaning of its existence is to inquire about the big and small information of the foreign countries for me."

"Information Division?"

Tasting the meaning of these three words, Liu Gang quickly understood what Li Tian meant.

But he knew that Li Tian hadn't finished speaking, so he didn't interrupt.

Li Tian paced to the center of the hall, and said as he walked,
"The people in the intelligence department are not in charge of the affairs of Ming Dynasty, that is to say, they have no right to intervene in any affairs of the DPRK and China.

The identity of everyone in the intelligence department is kept strictly confidential, and no one has the right to investigate his identity except his superiors. "

After saying this, Li Tian turned his gaze to Liu Gang, and continued to add,
"Including your commander, the identities of the Intelligence Department are court secrets."

Jiang Bao asked a little puzzled,
"But Your Majesty, wouldn't it be chaotic in this way? How can we manage it clearly?"

Li Tian had already prepared for this, and said lightly,
"What's so difficult about this? The intelligence department is divided into two parts, the internal and external. The internal is responsible for sorting out the collected information, while the external is responsible for many tasks such as sneaking in and spying.

One internal person is responsible for one to three external personnel, and the internal personnel do not contact each other and are directly responsible to the higher-level chief officer. How can there be chaos like this! "

After Li Tian's explanation, Wang Fu and others began to savor the role of this so-called intelligence department.

For a while, Wang Fu didn't react much. He compared Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which one was not full of fanfare and hustle and bustle, so he asked curiously,
"Your Majesty, as you said, the intelligence department is to collect information from foreign countries, so why is it so strictly kept secret?"

Li Tian chuckled, but did not answer directly, but glanced at Liu Gang.

Liu Gang understood and quickly explained,

"Boss Wang, you don't know. No matter if it's the Ming Dynasty or the foreign countries, who would like to have all the big and small affairs of their own country controlled by people from other countries."

"And if you want to spy on important news, the spies have to lurk for many years before they can get involved in the power center class. If this person's identity is exposed, wouldn't it lead to death.

It takes time and effort to install a spy, and each one is extremely precious, so it is natural to be cautious. "

Originally the most powerful spy agency in Ming Dynasty, Jin Yiwei actually also had the responsibility to spy on intelligence from other countries.

However, as Jin Yiwei grew stronger, he began to influence the government by mastering the secrets of the courtiers and gained great benefits.

Spying on other countries' intelligence, which is laborious and useless, has gradually been forgotten by them.

Liu Gang also felt the same way.

It's just that he is still a little puzzled by Li Tian's establishment of an intelligence department instead of placing him under Jin Yiwei.

After all, he is familiar with everything in Jinyiwei, and it is also the place where he can best display his talents.

So he said cautiously,
"Your Majesty, intelligence collection cannot be completed overnight. It takes years of deployment to form an effective intelligence network. This can only be achieved with great backup support.

The intelligence department was created at the beginning, and it may not be possible to achieve it in a short time if it wants to play a role! "

The meaning of what he said is actually very obvious, that is to say, it is really difficult to carry out work without anyone under him who has no power.

After listening to his words, Li Tian smiled lightly,
"In this world, not to mention money can buy everything, at least ninety-nine percent of the things. Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty and so on, in my opinion, they are not invulnerable, it's just that the price is enough!

The same is true for the intelligence network. As long as there is enough money to open the way, it is not difficult to establish a complete intelligence network! "

Li Tian can have such confidence, not because he started a workshop and made a little money, and then he started to swear, and it wasn't because the Royal Bank broke through tens of millions of taels of deposits that made him start to swell.

It was because Liu Gang had already surrendered, and the treasure buried under the Jingxin Temple was within easy reach for him.

If such a large amount of windfall is not used properly, it would be a waste of money.

Regardless of any era, the acquisition of information requires a great deal of financial resources.

Don't you see, the US intelligence agencies back then didn't have enough budgets of tens of billions a year, so they actually resold arms to make up for their households.

The dignified American emperor is still like this, let alone other countries.

And Li Tian's creed is that things that can be solved with money are not considered big things.

This is also the confidence and original intention of his plan to establish an intelligence agency at this time.

Originally, he had planned to form this organization, but Liu Gang's attachment happened to give him a perfect opportunity.

What kind of talents an intelligence agency needs, how to communicate internally, and how to deploy a large network, all of these require a few people who understand these things very well.
