Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 74
In a blink of an eye, it has been more than half a month since he transferred from Yingshan to Xinyang, and Zhou Xiu's health has improved a lot.Although Xiaochan also had to have a confinement, the longer she stayed in the room, the more bored Zhou Xiu felt.Therefore, Qiu Tianxing accompanied Zhou Xiu for a walk outside to relax.

Under Qiu Tianxing's enlightenment in the past few days, Zhou Xiu began to smile more.Since getting married, my husband has never been with me for such a long time.Usually, he always has a lot of things to do and a heart to worry about.How can there be such considerate care for yourself?

Zhou Xiu and Qiu Tianxing walked casually in the yard, Zhou Xiu thought to himself, "Yes, my husband is right, I am still young. The future will be long, and there will always be children, so let's take care of my body."

For a while, Zhou Xiu was immersed in the world of the two of them, Xiao Chan's grief faded a lot.

What Zhou Xiu didn't notice was that Qiu Tianxing looked left and right under the cover of her body, and then his eyes lit up, pretending to have dropped something, and quickly picked up a small piece of bamboo tube from the ground of a bamboo forest next to a rockery.

After continuing to accompany Zhou Xiu for two rounds, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding spies, the two returned to the house and closed the doors and windows.

Taking advantage of Zhou Xiu's miscarriage and being unable to blow the wind, Qiu Tianxing often closed the doors and windows from time to time, and the spies around him had already gotten used to it.

Before the fall of Yingshan, Qiu Tianxing had already started to form an intelligence organization.Under the bombardment of a large number of spy wars on TV in later generations, Qiu Tianxing has already understood the importance of intelligence.If the intelligence is used well, one soldier can play the power of ten or even dozens of soldiers, but if the intelligence is not used well, dozens of soldiers may not be able to play the role of one soldier.For the weak side, intelligence is crucial, and it can even be said that the weak can defeat the strong.The espionage power of the red regime in Qiu Tianxing's previous life can be said to have been used with great proficiency.In the end, the world turned around and the country changed hands. Espionage played a vital role.

A piece of crucial information can even be worth millions of troops.With a vision beyond the times of more than 300 years, Qiu Tianxing can call himself a master of intelligence.It's just that before, on the one hand, Qiu Tianxing was restrained by many things, on the other hand, he had no funds and no excellent spies.Intelligence warfare is a gold-swallowing behemoth, and intelligence warfare cannot be played well without a large amount of funds.Whether it's one's own disguise to break into the enemy's interior, or buying the scum in the enemy to obtain intelligence, financial support is needed.

Not long before the fall of Yingshan, Qiu Tianxing saved a sum of money and established the information department.The name Information Section is also used to paralyze the enemy. If it is named the Intelligence Bureau, the enemy will know its role.Qiu Tianxing assigned the information department to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he was actually in charge of it directly.The information department is the intelligence bureau, and the information officer is the intelligence officer.It's just that not long after it was formed, the Tartars came and occupied Yingshan all at once.During the transfer with the headquarters, the information department was in disarray, and only a few people followed the headquarters to Xinyang.

But what Qiu Tianxing didn't expect was that he was put under house arrest by Sun Zhi.It took a lot of effort for the information department to open up a channel to communicate with Qiu Tianxing.

Qiu Tianxing came to the study alone, opened the bamboo tube, and took out a note from it, which contained a series of Arabic numerals. Qiu Tianxing then took out a Zizhi Tongjian translated into simplified Chinese, and read the pages word by word in his heart. translated.After reading it several times, Qiu Tianxing understood the meaning, and then set the note on fire and burned it.

In these bamboo tubes, Qiu Tianxing has always been aware of the dynamics of the outside world.

This period of time was a rare free time, and Qiu Tianxing repeatedly considered whether he had failed too much in life, or was really not suitable to be a leader.I can be said to be kind to Sun Zhi, he was brought out by himself, he crawled out of the pile of dead people in Zhangjia Village, and he had a life-threatening friendship.But why did it lose control after the base area was established outside?Even if he established a military academy and forced officers to undergo training and rotation, he still couldn't dispel his idea of ​​self-reliance.

Sure enough, people's hearts are the most unpredictable. After a layer of belly, you can never guess what the other person is thinking, and it is difficult to know whether what the other person said is true or not.Many people can't tell the difference between loyalty and evil until the end, and even some people can't tell whether he is loyal or evil even after he dies.Hundreds of years later, great loyalty has become great treason, great evil has become great good, and the verdict has been reversed many times.

As for how to guess people's hearts, Qiu Tianxing really has no choice but to try to use the system to control people's hearts.In his spare time, Qiu Tianxing also read a few history books, using history as a mirror to understand the gains and losses, Qiu Tianxing tried to find the way out of the security group from the history books.Although Sun Zhi restricted Qiu Tianxing's travel, he still satisfied some of his needs in life, and a few books were naturally not included in the restrictions.

The Zhou Dynasty divided the world and enjoyed the country for 800 years, but after the first emperor ruled the world, there was no dynasty for another 300 years.

In repeated thinking, Qiu Tianxing also took out the security team for comparison, and gained a lot in his heart.

Perhaps the security group can also follow the path of the Zhou Dynasty.A unified country can maintain superficial unity and peace, but there are countless plots and betrayals behind it.The way forward for those careerists is sealed, so they can only continue to fiddle with the inside, trying to subvert the world and seek self-reliance.And if the positions of the princes are released, can they still serve the emperor to beg for disobedience?

At this moment, Qiu Tianxing thought, if the security regiment divided the battalions, would the independent princes be loyal to the regiment headquarters and unanimously go out to the outside world, or would they take the opportunity to usurp the throne and replace the central government?However, all this will be proved by time.

In fact, enfeoffing the world is also of great benefit, as long as the civil wars among the princes are well controlled.In the ancient unified country, it was difficult to dispatch troops because of the inconvenience of information exchange.The farther away from the capital, the weaker the ability to control.The turmoil in the frontier can even drag a huge empire to destruction.Sending troops thousands of miles would cost tens of thousands of dollars, and mobilizing an army of [-] at a distance of thousands of miles could drain the national treasury for several years.This kind of mobilization ability is simply incomparable to that of the spring and Autumn and Warring States period when the princes raised hundreds of thousands of troops and fought for several years at every turn.

Although many of the armies of the princes in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were semi-professional soldiers who integrated the army and the people, it was still extremely surprising.With a population of several million, they dared to mobilize hundreds of thousands, or even reach a million. How could this embarrass the Ming Dynasty with a population of hundreds of millions?If the former Ming could have the mobilization ability of the vassal states 2000 years ago, it would not have fought against the Tartars and peasant uprisings until the end but had no soldiers to send.

The smaller the territory of a country, the stricter the rule, the smaller the number of officials, and the stronger the mobilization ability.In this era of economically self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy that does not require large-scale cross-regional cooperation, the small country model can save administrative costs and is highly efficient.It's just that the ability to fight against foreign enemies is slightly weaker, and mutual assistance among allied countries is needed.

But the most important thing is that now the security group is about to fall apart.Qiu Tianxing thought that he had no ability to take back the troops he had sent out.Even if it is forcibly withdrawn, not to mention the fact that the regiment is weak now and may not be able to fight, it is just a fluke, but the biggest possibility after fighting to the death is that it will be cheap for the Tartars and consume the strength of the anti-Tartars, so it is better not to fight Woolen cloth!Since you can't be a tiger, let's be a pack of wolves!A tiger may not necessarily beat a pack of hungry wolves.

If the anti-Tartar victory is won in the future, the Central Plains will naturally belong to the regiment headquarters, so the frontiers will have to be continued by the battalions.With Qiu Tianxing's popularization of world knowledge, the comrades in the security team have a very world outlook, and they are very enterprising driven by curiosity.

At this time, Qiu Tianxing secretly made up his mind that as long as the regiment headquarters had a resurgence, he would implement the pack of wolves tactics.Turn the released battalion into an allied army, and fight for the revival of the nation together!
