I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 790 The Current Situation of the Information Division
After nearly half a year of development, the intelligence department has actually recruited a lot of talents, although compared with Jin Yiwei in its heyday, there is still a long way to go.

But they specialize in intelligence, and in terms of business ability, they are much better than Jin Yiwei.

Because there are no other distractions, and there is no need for the intrigue inside Jin Yiwei

Because they do not have the right to directly judge and interrogate crimes, it is impossible for people in the intelligence department to improve their merits by forging unjust, false and wrongly decided cases for the sake of promotion.

Although their number is still small, their efficiency far surpasses the combination of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Now Li Tian has merged Xuanjia Heiqi into the intelligence department.

In this way, the intelligence department not only has the ability to spy on intelligence, but also has its own responsibilities and obligations such as coping, rescuing, responding, escorting, and delivering important information.

But these are not the most special. The most special thing is that the intelligence department has a secret message system that outsiders can't crack at all.

This system not only makes it impossible for the enemy to know the real content even if the content of the secret letter is seen by the enemy, but also the secret letter can be compressed to an extremely short level.

Using very few symbols to represent very long content greatly reduces the size of the secret letter, which also makes it possible for Feige to transmit information.

So at the beginning of the establishment of the Intelligence Section.

The personnel in the intelligence department who are responsible for breeding and training homing pigeons began to train such homing pigeons in large quantities.

And with the passage of time, within half a day's distance of the carrier pigeon, there is a fixed and secret intelligence secondary school base.

These bases are currently located in most areas of Northern Zhili.

Basically, the task of fast delivery of letters can be completed.

Moreover, the function of these hidden bases is not only responsible for transmitting information.

They also have certain intelligence gathering capabilities, as well as the ability to repair and manufacture some weapons and appliances.

For this reason, the intelligence department also specially recruited many skilled artisans to join this system.

In addition to ensuring their own self-sufficiency, their existence sometimes needs to provide intelligence and material assistance to passing intelligence personnel.

It can be said that within the area of ​​Beizhili, anywhere, a support base can be found within one day.

With the existence of these bases, the intelligence personnel's ability to act has been greatly improved at once, and they will never miss important information because they can't find a place to transmit information.

Li Tian is very supportive of this arrangement of the intelligence department.

Moreover, Li Tian also specially divided the levels of these personnel and bases inside the intelligence department.

An intelligence station in a large city belongs to Class B, and an intelligence station at the county level belongs to Class C.

An intelligence station that is responsible for transit and does not do any other business belongs to the D-level.

And the headquarters of the intelligence department in the capital, which collects the information transmitted from all over the world every day, is at the first level.

Of course, this Grade A doesn't just refer to the level of the base.

The higher-level base members have the same level of authority as their own bases, and have absolute control over lower-level bases and members.

In other words, high-level intelligence personnel have the right to let low-level base members serve their missions anytime and anywhere.

Of course, in order to avoid abuse of power or even false publicity for personal gain.

To be truly rated as a high-level intelligence officer, one has to go through layers of selection and assessment.

The highest-ranking intelligence personnel even have to have the joint approval of Chief Executive Tienu and Li Tian before they can be promoted.

Intelligence personnel at this level are not only intelligence personnel, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are spies among spies, or spies among spies.

Not only is the identity extremely confidential, but such people will not use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

Among them, Yang Shiqi's son, Yang Dao, and the newly joined Die Wu belong to the top intelligence personnel, and they are all special intelligence personnel with special code names.

From the day when Li Tian established the intelligence department, he actually built it according to the model of those ace spy agencies in later generations.

The personnel of the intelligence department are not only divided into ranks.

And there is a very detailed division of accusations.

Take the intelligence department headquarters in Beijing as an example.

There are not only special intelligence personnel, but also ordinary clerks who are not responsible for any intelligence spying work on weekdays, but specialize in sorting out information from various places.

There are also translators who specialize in deciphering the content of secret letters.

There are specialized personnel for information collection, storage, and storage of important information.

These are just internal civilian staff.

For example, craftsmen who make special equipment, full-time personnel who train and teach various camouflage skills for intelligence personnel, and specialists who are responsible for breeding and training homing pigeons, etc.

With this system down, there are actually not a lot of people at all.

In particular, the headquarters of the intelligence department in the capital has now expanded to a scale of thousands of people, and there is a possibility of further expansion.

Among these people, there are currently only one to two hundred elite intelligence officers who specialize in spying on intelligence.

The others are actually serving these two hundred people.

On weekdays, these intelligence agents are stationed in their respective areas. When they are not on missions, they all have their own disguises. Only when they are actually performing missions will they show their abilities.

The advantage of doing this is that it can not only protect their identities excellently, but also allow them to enjoy life well when they are not receiving tasks.

It can also be regarded as a kind of benefit for their dangerous and extremely energy-consuming special occupation.

Because the transmission of information is basically done by carrier pigeons, so in a certain area, the intelligence can basically be done, and it will be collected in the capital within a day.

That is to say, no matter what important event happened in any area of ​​Beizhili, Li Tian could understand it clearly within a day.

From the perspective of efficiency alone, it has already blown up several streets of Jinyi secret agents back then.

You know, the fastest way to transmit information in this era is nothing more than eight hundred miles.

The so-called expedited [-] miles actually means that the messenger has to travel [-] miles a day.

But traveling [-] miles a day is not an easy task for anyone. People may be able to bear it, but Marco can't.

A horse is a kind of animal, not a machine. No matter how well it can run, it is impossible for it to carry a large living person on its back and run for a whole day.

Normally, if a horse can drive more than 100 miles a day, it is already very powerful.

If you really want to travel [-] miles a day, at least you have to exhaust several of the best army horses to do it.
