The TV series "The Forerunner" is based on Ryuichi's spy novel "Party Group". Long Yi is a famous spy war novelist in China, based on his novel of the same name, the spy war TV series "Latent" can be called the ceiling of China's spy war theme film and television works, not only deeply sought after by the vast number of audiences, but also won the first prize of the 27th TV series "Feitian Award" long-form TV series, the 11th National Spiritual Civilization Construction "Five One Project" Award and other awards, thus setting off a boom in the production and broadcast of spy war dramas in the TV drama market.
In fact, spy dramas are not new favorites of film and television. As early as the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Haiyan Film Studio had filmed the famous anti-special theme film "Yangcheng Dark Sentinel", and in the early 1980s, when television sets began to enter thousands of households, CCTV also filmed a nine-episode TV series "Eighteen Years of Enemy Camp", which told the story of "lurking" espionage.
Due to the particularity of the theme of espionage warfare, the historical background of the story is generally set during the complex war of the revolutionary struggle. This is because espionage and infiltration have always been important aspects and means of competition between the enemy and us, and they are also an indispensable part of war under any circumstances. As long as the conflict of interest between the enemy and us persists, the espionage war will not stop one day.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="130" > spy war during the two Song Dynasties in China</h1>
If we open the history of ancient China, we will be surprised to find that as early as the two Song Dynasties in China, espionage warfare was already very popular, and even the identity of spy fighters has spread to various industries.
According to historical records, as early as the early Northern Song Dynasty, the government had a strong sense of intelligence espionage, from the central to the local, there are special spy agencies, shouldering the two major responsibilities of intelligence collection and counter-espionage. Among them, the Imperial City Division, which was established in the sixth year of the Taiping Revival, was an intelligence agency directly under the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and its main duty was to defend the Imperial City. At the same time, there were full-time plainclothes reconnaissance personnel, who, as the eyes and ears of the emperor, could not only inspect the officials, but also sometimes hunt down thieves, so that the emperor was familiar with many situations inside and outside the capital.
In order to crack down on enemy spies, the Northern Song Dynasty court issued many edicts to openly recruit capable people and strangers inside and outside the capital to participate in the arrest of spies, and caught a reward of 300,000 yuan and a certain meritorious name. Those who do not report or cover the spies will not only behead the first offender, but also exile their wives. It can be seen that espionage at that time had become a very headache for the imperial court.
While cracking down on spies at home, the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty also actively developed his own team of spies, and used spies to collect information about the enemy, or to alienate the enemy's relationship between the monarch and the subject, or to spread false news to achieve the desired effect.
In 963, when Song Taizu conquered Jingnan, he sent Lu Huaizhong, the deputy envoy of the Inner Wine Factory, as a cover, to Jingnan to spy on the intelligence, and specified the specific content that needed to be explored: Jiangling people go to the people, the mountains and rivers are to the back, and I want to know it. Lu Huaizhong lived up to the expectations of the public and brought back important information that "there are only 30,000 people who follow the chong control string, although the Niangu is deng, the people are trapped in tyranny, and their momentum is not time to give, and they are easy to hear", which relieved Song Taizu's concerns about pacifying Jingnan.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, Li Yuanhao of Western Xia appointed Yule and stationed himself on the Song-Xia border. In order to get rid of the opposing generals, the Song general Zhong Shiheng sent a monk named Guangxin to Western Xia, where he was deliberately caught by Li Yuanhao. Li Yuanhao tortured the Guangxin monk and did not obtain valuable information. At this time, Li Yuanhao found that the new cotton jacket on the Guangxin monk was more special, so he ordered someone to tear it up, and sure enough, he found a secret letter written by Zhong Shiheng to Yu Lehe in the sandwich of the cotton jacket. Li Yuanhao was furious when he saw this, and not only removed Yu Lehe's military power, but also killed him. In this way, Zhong Shiheng only made a small plan, so he asked Li Yuanhao of Western Xia to kill a fierce general and destroy the Great Wall.
In the contemporary society of rapid development of the world economy, the form of struggle between countries is often manifested as open or secret competition or competition in the political, economic, diplomatic, scientific and technological fields, and the intelligence services on the hidden fronts around the world will not only not disappear with the end of the war, but will become more and more active in order to seize the initiative and the initiative in the international struggle. Among them, the spy war stories that are not well known to us are far more wonderful than "Latent" and "Spy in The Spy".
Here, pay tribute to the unsung heroes who have been fighting on the hidden front for the safety of the motherland! Your name is unknown, and your exploits are immortal!
