Wang Xia lost his country because of the rebellion of Hou Yi, the leader of the poor family. In order to help Shao Kang, a young master, she disguised herself and went deep into the ruling center behind enemy lines to find out the news and understand the people's feelings, which provided valuable information for Shao Kang. Finally, the Xia Dynasty regained its territory. Shao Kang was also the first monarch who used spies in history. This period of history is called "Shao Kang Zhongxing". You can look at the detailed history if you are interested.
Sun Tzu's Art of War also recorded: "In the past, it was prosperous, and it was supported in the summer ...". In other words, the rise of Shang Dynasty was because Yi Yin was a spy of Xia Dynasty. Therefore, this spy agency always existed in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but the spy work at that time was mainly military work, and it was responsible for spying on the enemy in the army to adjust the war strategy.
In the Han Dynasty, soldiers specializing in reconnaissance and patrol were called "scouts", including cavalry and infantry, and cavalry was also called "waiting to ride". In the online game League of Legends, which was very popular some time ago, there is a character called Swift Scout-Teemo, who is a member of the "Main Ship Scout Team" of Bande City Special Forces. Because spies need to go deep behind enemy lines and have extremely high military skills, I think they have the characteristics of Teemo's short range and high output.
The spy industry has been an ancient industry for thousands of years. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that we learned from the film and television drama De Renjie that Empress Wu Zetian also had her own secret service unit called "Meihua Internal Security". But one thing is really puzzling. Since you are a spy, you should lower others' recognition of yourself. However, the "plum blossom internal security" in the play has a plum blossom logo on it. That's all. After all, the "plum blossom internal security" is also a fictional institution, so it will not be entangled.
In the Ming Dynasty, the well-known "Royal Guards" appeared. The founder of Royal Guards is Zhu Yuanzhang, and we all know that Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered heroes, which is also his original intention to create Royal Guards. "We Royal Guards never ask why, only when, where and who." It can be seen that they cannot be called formal government departments. They only obey the emperor, they can arrest everyone, including the emperor and relatives of the country, and they can hold closed trials. They are swords that belong only to the emperor.
Someone in the back will say, where is the Royal Guards? The power of the East Factory (full name: Dongjing Factory) is much greater than that of the Royal Guards. Indeed, the Royal Guards are now more like the security company of the country's top leaders, but the East Factory is different. It is the earliest national spy intelligence agency established in history, and it is said that its branches reach as far as the Korean peninsula. But what can this do? As an emperor, I am always afraid of Gao Zhen's works. Besides, if one day a sophisticated army like Royal Guards refuses to obey the emperor's control, the emperor may not be scared to death. Therefore, some people say that the emperor was not at ease with the Royal Guards, so he set up the East Factory and the West Factory (the power of the West Factory is above the East Factory); I didn't trust the East-West Factory, so I set up an inner factory. I joked that the Ming emperors all sold cabbages.
The intelligence agencies in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty were called "bonzi". What a strange name, it seems to be a cicada catcher ... Stop it, it's really a cicada catcher. It is said that before Yongzheng ascended the throne, these people were responsible for helping Yongzheng, who liked peace, catch some crickets and so on. Of course, this is only a one-sided statement. As a prince, it is understandable to cultivate some cronies. As for catching cicadas or crickets, it will always be Yongzheng's business. Besides, in the official history, this organization is called "Bangzi", but in the novel, there is a secret service agency based on Bangzi, and this organization is: Blood … Drop … Son …
Finally, the Military Bureau of the Republic of China and the Central Unification Bureau, as well as the Secret Service Bureau later separated from the Military Bureau. We should all know these characters more or less in the lurk. Spies are good at monitoring, kidnapping, arresting and assassinating. The Military Bureau has concentration camps, secret prisons and detention centers in many places. That period was a gloomy period in the history of China, and it was heavy to think about it.
Whether it is a spy or a spy, from the initial investigation of the enemy in the army to the exclusion of dissidents by the ruling party, it is difficult to think about the whole spy history, so we prefer to know the unknown mystery behind them, right? What you don't know, there is room for fantasy.
