The appearance of the steam engine was an unexpected joy, and Li Tianyang was naturally overjoyed and paid attention to it day and night, but there was a news from the Beijing Division, shouting that Li Tianyang was gloomy.

Another historical celebrity passed away, with Li Tianyang's shallow historical knowledge, there are only a handful of celebrities in this era who can remember, there are Jin Nurhachi, Mao Wenlong and others disappeared in the long river of history, and now Yuan Chonghuan Supervisor was also executed by Emperor Chongzhen Ling Chi.

Yuan Chonghuan may have many shortcomings, but in the past few years in Liaodong, he has always adhered to the layout of Emperor Sun Chengzong in Liaodong, and firmly resisted the Houjin people outside the pass.

Moreover, in recent years, with the Ningjin defense line has been building a dock fort outside, it has recovered a lot of lost land for the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the previous Ningyuan victory, it is said that Nurhachi, the first king of the Later Jin Dynasty, was accidentally injured by the red-clothed cannon of the Ming Dynasty in that battle and finally died.

Even if this change in his own power, from a military point of view, Yuan Chonghuan's plan was not wrong, but he was too rigid and did not take into account the thoughts of the little emperor of the current dynasty, so that the Houjin people took advantage of the loophole.

Li Tianyang put down the express letter sent by Jingshi, shook his head and looked at the sky in the distance, where a dark cloud was coming overhead, and he could vaguely see several lightning and thunder.

There was no time to sigh with emotion, Li Tianyang also had a lot of things on his hands, and the spy personnel trained by the first batch of spy warfare were already ready to leave the school, and they were waiting for Li Tianyang to arrange their whereabouts.

To tell the truth, there are not too many things that can be taught to everyone in this spy war station, and many of them are the knowledge that Li Tianyang has seen from those spy war dramas in later generations, such as external object signals, exchange letters, etc., as well as many espionage rules accumulated in this era.

The first people to be arranged by Li Tianyang were the people who wanted to enter the army of the displaced people.

These members basically have a few things in common, such as they are all strong and capable, their personalities seem to be bold, and they have received military education in Hongmen, and the most important point is that most of their origins are homeless people in the north, but they are all children of homeless families recruited by Hongmen in the north in the early years.

Most of the family members who were sent out lived and worked in Hongmen, and even they got married and had children on Dayuan Island, so they had a sense of belonging to Hongmen, so Li Tianyang was still more at ease with them.

The only thing I am worried about is that after joining the rebel army, that is, I will have to fight against the powerful Ming Dynasty, and if I don't pay attention to it for a long time, my life may be threatened, and those can only depend on their own creation.

The then people who were arranged out were the members who wanted to join the government, and they were either bought by Li Tianyang to be officials in a place, forged a copy of the road guides, etc., and then were sent to Beijing to participate in the martial arts at the cost of Hongmen, or they were a certain official in the surrounding prefectures and counties of Fujian.

Hongmen's current strength is not enough to open up the joints of the Ming Dynasty, and only the relationship between Fujian is better, and it is much easier to open up some relationships.

Moreover, as the Hongmen team with their base camp on Dayuan Island, they also need to focus on managing Fujian, which is separated by a strait, so that they can ensure the safety of Dayuan Island to the greatest extent in the unpredictable situation of the upcoming end times.

As for the rest of the people, most of them will be sent to the Yuegang Qixin Hall, under the leadership of Guan Juxiong, and continue to expand the intelligence system of the Hongmen Outer Guard.

At the same time, the elite students in the Bengang Academy have also come to see it on the road to the imperial examination.

Due to the influence of Li Tianyang and his lack of talent, Zhang Ziyi's most regrettable thing in these years is that he did not go to the imperial examination room.

In order to make up for this regret, he left all his expectations to his group of outstanding disciples.

Don't look at the current Hongmen Bengang School, there are more than 300 children graduating every year, but most of them have only received six years of basic education, can read and write, and have a skill, and they can really be said to be very poor in reading.

With Hongmen's strength and heritage, in addition to those senior students who show talent in science, there are still students who can have literary talent in the Four Books and Five Classics and Eight Strands of Literature, which can basically be said to be one in a thousand.

Until now, Hongmen has accumulated no more than 50 students who have been supported to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and after Zhang Ziyi's school examination, there are only less than 10 people who meet the requirements of the next scientific examination.

Fortunately, Bengang has now been placed in the county, as the location of the county government, Zhang Yuyan, a cheap county magistrate, has the right to open a county test and name children, which is an unexpected joy that Li Tianyang did not expect before.

In other places, hundreds or thousands of people compete for the children's examination for a few qualifications, but in Bengang County, it is Li Tianyang who makes a decision by himself, and in a casual ordinary examination, five students with excellent character and learning will be given as children, and the next thing is to arrange for them to go to Fujian to participate in the prefectural examination and the township examination.

Li Tianyang did not transfer all the outstanding students in his hands at once, but left a few people and waited for the next year or two or three years to be slowly sent to the examination room.

Anyway, these students are all students raised by Hongmen himself, and one of their common advantages is that they are young, and the oldest student is still only about twenty years old, so he has time to continue to polish their articles and lay a solid foundation for the next gold list title.

The net has been cast, and the next thing is to see their own creation, whether they can help Hongmen in the future, then we can only wait for time to prove.

Every spy officer who was sent out and shouldered a heavy responsibility, just like last time, was sent to Daxing Town in a group of horse-drawn carriages surrounded by one person, and then they themselves went to the sea ship between Daxing Town and Jilong Town, and quietly returned to Jilong Town.

Later, after briefly making excuses to say goodbye to their families, they set out on their respective journeys with the road guides and bags prepared for them by Hongmen.

From beginning to end, the trainees who have lived together in the spy war center for more than half a year almost don't know each other, and they don't even communicate a few words on weekdays, let alone learn each other's identities.

In the future, it is very likely that they will meet somewhere, and then fight each other to the death, but they will not know that the other party is likely to be their teammates, their own companions.

Everything is for the sake of secrecy, Li Tianyang and they have to do this, people's hearts are the most fickle, and if there is one less person who knows the identity of these students, they will be safer in the future.
