Chapter 267
Have you seen the news report about a Chinese person who, because he was so poor while living abroad, fabricated false intelligence and sold it to a foreign spy organization?
[The total amount sold was 5400 yuan.]
[After returning to China, his actions became known. Under pressure, he surrendered himself. Because he did not pose a serious threat, he was exempted from criminal punishment.]
It's sold too cheaply.
"This organization is no good. They can't even detect fake intelligence."
"No, as long as you sell information, whether it's true or false, you've fallen into a trap."
Everyone should be familiar with spies or insiders. Almost every country has them. So, did we also have them in ancient times?
[Of course there was, and it caused great harm to a certain dynasty. Can you guess which dynasty I'm talking about?]
The officials outside the sky curtain quickly thought about themselves. Some continued to look at the sky curtain with their heads held high, while others sneaked back to the secret room and wanted to burn the letter.
But now we have the Sky Curtain. If our names are mentioned on it, even if we burn all the letters, it will be useless. We will definitely not kill eight of the nine clans that should be killed.
【Have you guessed which dynasty I'm talking about? It's the Ming Dynasty! 】
Big man: Fortunately it wasn’t me.
Datang: Fortunately it wasn’t me.
Da Song: Fortunately it wasn’t me.
Ming Dynasty
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he knew that this was something done by future generations. They couldn't even control the power of the court, so it was normal for them to have a few accomplices from within.
If the truth is revealed, I will definitely kill the entire family of those who are behind it. However, if my descendants are as bad as before, there will definitely be other people willing to do it.
[Here I want to specifically criticize Mr. Yuan Yingtai of the Tianqi period. You may be an expert in flood control, but you truly have no talent for military affairs.]
How were those cities in the Liao territory of the Ming Dynasty conquered? Weren't they spies bribed by the Manchus? Many of those you recruited to surrender and rebel were deliberately arranged by them.
The Manchus paid a lot of gold and silver to hire spies. This money was looted, so they didn't feel bad about spending it.
"Ultimately, it's because the people of Liaodi are under great pressure in life."
"It must be Zhu Yuanzhang's fault."
"Indeed, many cities had their gates opened by spies from within."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. They were descendants of many generations, so why was it still his fault? Why didn't he say it was Zhu Di's fault?
It's unreasonable.
Yuan Yingtai, who was still in Liaodong, felt that he was in a dilemma. What did he mean by he had no memory at all? Those people in Liaodong used to hire foreign soldiers.
Why does it become a sin when it comes to me?
I am not good at military affairs, but Xiong Tingbi is good enough? He wants to kill all the surrendered soldiers. If he does so, who in Liaodong will surrender to the Ming Dynasty in the future?
If there is an insider or a spy, just find him out.
Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, who was looking at Tianmu in the capital, felt relieved. Tianmu was introducing another minister to him. He decided to transfer Yuan Yingtai back to inspect the Yellow River.
Just send the Jinyiwei to Liaodong to investigate these traitors.
……
[So, are there any well-known spies in history? I've only found a few unofficial accounts, and you're welcome to add to them.]
[The first person I want to talk about is Jiang Gan from the Three Kingdoms period. Although Jiang Gan's book theft has always been regarded as a derogatory term in later generations, it must be said that he was a qualified spy.]
At least you have the guts to do this.
How to verify the authenticity of intelligence after obtaining it is actually not related to spies, but mainly to the subsequent processing of intelligence.
Three Kingdoms
Cao Cao thought again of his embarrassment in the Battle of Red Cliffs. Could Jiang Gan be considered a good spy? As mentioned earlier, he was able to find a way to open the city gate.
Why doesn’t Jiang Gan learn from this?
[The next person I want to talk about is Xi Shi, yes, the one among the Four Beauties. She was carefully raised by the State of Yue and then sent to the State of Wu.]
【After that, he was very favored by Fuchai.】
[However, Xi Shi's ending was still very tragic. The only good ending was that she followed Fan Li into seclusion. Most of the other endings were that she was drowned in a lake.]
[However, there is some controversy over who sank it.]
big man
Liu Bang didn't think it was a big deal. Isn't that what spies do? Now the Xiongnu is really a big worry for him, so it seems he has to send a few spies to take a look.
It would be best to find roads and drinking water on the grassland. Now the Han cavalry has become much stronger, and we can find a way to fight a decisive battle with the Huns.
He completed what he could quickly.
"Select two beauties from the royal family and send them to the Huns." Liu Bang felt a little uneasy, so he had to arrange for an old brother to go.
[Beautiful female spies are very common in modern times. Swallow from Big Goose is very famous. It is said that Swallow stole the mushroom eggs from Lao Ai.]
[There is also the five-faced spy during the Anti-Japanese War, whose name we won’t mention.]
[Jin Wudai was also quite a legend. He was about to become the second-in-command of the American intelligence agency, but unfortunately he fell short in the end.]
Song Dynasty
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the sky in some surprise. It was really amazing that a spy could be the second-in-command of the enemy's intelligence.
I don’t know if there are such people in the Song Dynasty.
"The pressure the Khitans are putting on us is really too great. Should we send a few spies over there?" Zhao Defang asked in a low voice. "At least we can get some intelligence."
"We should send some over, but if we want to get their military information, we still have to rely on bribery."
With the death rate at that time, it was extremely difficult to rise from an ordinary soldier to a real general. Moreover, the status of the Han people was not high, which made it even more difficult.
"We in the Song Dynasty also have money. Let's quickly use more gold to recruit people."
Qing Dynasty
Emperor Kangxi relied on money and official positions to plant spies and bribe internal supporters with a smile on his face. The Qing Dynasty had no shortage of these things at that time.
They should be sent to Mongolia and Junggar, and a few should also be arranged in the south. His foster brother Cao Yin has submitted many petitions to beg for his remains to be returned home.
Someone has to be arranged to take over.
……
Qi Cheng has also read a lot of news on this topic. In addition to the one mentioned above, there seems to be a man born in the 1990s who met a beautiful female spy.
He failed the test and provided a lot of information to the beautiful spy. However, the law is long and narrow, and he was finally caught by the country.
After investigation, it was discovered that this charming female spy was born in the 1970s.
The way she looks without makeup is really speechless.
