Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 199 Opening of the Police Department

The decree for the establishment of the police department has already been issued, and the timing of the decree is very interesting. It was issued together with the decree to enshrine Yuan Hao's son Liang Zuo as the lord of the Xia Kingdom.

Bao Zheng was appointed as the police chief, and Li Buqi, who was appointed as the police chief, was called to the Chui Gong Palace by Zhao Zhen immediately after receiving the order.Zhao Zhen said: "You two Qing families, today I canonized Yuan Hao's son as the lord of the Xia Kingdom. The land of Xia Kingdom was originally owned by the Song Dynasty. I can't destroy Yuan Hao's civil construction. Every time I think about it, I always feel ashamed of my ancestors. What is even more annoying is that in the future, some thieves will follow Yuan Hao as an example, and the world will be troubled from now on. The police department is my weapon to protect the Song Dynasty, and the two Qings must not be negligent."

"Besides, there are friends and evil friends on both sides, treacherous deceptions at home and abroad, tyranny in states and counties, and laws and regulations that are not convenient for the people. I want to hear about them. You and your family should pay attention."

As long as the emperor still remembers Yuan Hao!Li Buqi thought to himself: The Escort Bureau's escort service has entered Shaanxi, and I will remind you of Xixia often in the future.He said casually: "Your Majesty, the police department is your eyes and ears. I think that the police department can make a monthly briefing on these matters and submit them to your majesty. I heard that Xi Xia has recently committed crimes against the border, so it can be seen that she is just pretending to submit. It will still be a disaster in the future. Since His Majesty has assigned the supervision of the tea-horse trade to the Police Department, I will use the tea-horse trade to find out as much as possible about Xi Xia."

Zhao Zhen asked in surprise: "Xixia has committed crimes one after another? Why didn't I know?"

Bao Zheng glanced at Li Buqi, but said nothing.Li Buqi said calmly: "I listened to the person who sent the business news from Shaanxi that a few days ago, tens of thousands of Xia people were besieging Qingyang."

"Oh? Why didn't the Privy Council report this matter? Could it be that the military newspaper is slower than the business news?" The emperor immediately had black lines.

Li Buqi said: "I heard that since Yuan Hao became a minister, he repeatedly violated the contract and copied the border, but the border officials avoided making troubles and did not hear about it. Therefore, the Xia people thought that my Song Dynasty was afraid of Xixia. This time I forgive you and thank you for the sacrifice. Yanzhou is quite arrogant, but the Economic and Strategy Department dare not be negligent in sending the companions to send them off, and the Xia envoy is proud."

Zhao Zhen's eyes immediately fell on Bao Zheng, he had been a transit envoy in Shaanxi, if he didn't know the situation of the marginal officials, he would be dereliction of duty.

When Bao Zheng saw Zhao Zhen, he could only tell the truth: "Your Majesty, when I was serving in Shaanxi, I did find out that the frontier officials were worried about causing trouble, and they did not report the incident of Xixia plundering the border according to the facts. Conceal."

When Zhao Zhen heard that the officials on the fringes even dared to conceal military information, he couldn't help feeling chills down his spine. He remembered that Li Buqi said in the memorial that the main responsibility of the police department was to prevent the development of the police department. The advice is so timely.Otherwise, maybe, as Li Buqi said, one day Xixia and the Liao Kingdom will call, and the emperor himself will not know about it.

He tried his best to put on a calm look and said: "Okay, I will leave these matters to the two gentlemen, and you must be my eyes and ears."

Then he looked at Bao Zheng: "This...Bao Qing, there are some methods that are very effective in doing things. How to set up and operate the police department, Bao Qing needs to listen to ideas that will not give up."

Bao Zheng glanced at Li Buqi, and then said to Zhao Zhen: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have been trying to figure out the construction strategy of the police department written by Li Dujian recently. I think that what Li Dujian wrote is really impressive. But it was unexpected. Therefore, I have to learn from Li Dujian in this matter."

Bao Zheng is a good man, with his statement, the emperor and Li Buqi are relieved.

Then Zhao Zhen said to Li Buqi: "Buqi, the cavalry under the Police Department will select a group from the Forbidden Army in Beijing according to your wishes, and transfer a group from the Shaanxi Army and the Zhenwu Army. Recruit more, how about 2000 people?"

Li Buqi pretended to think for a while and said: "I think 2000 people is too much, and there are not so many squad leaders. At most, we can only recruit 300 people."

Now Zhao Zhen has no doubts about Li Buqi's military affairs, and immediately said: "Okay. Then you can talk to Zhang Yonghe."

After the dynasty was over, Li Buqi followed Bao Zheng to arrest the bandits.According to Li Buqi's plan, the police department will be established with the team of the arresting and robbery department, so the office will be located in the original arresting and robbery department, and Lian Guangzhi, the actual operator of the arresting and robbery department, has become the current three giants of the police department one.

Bao Zheng and Li Buqi went to the police department, and after Lian Guangzhi led the officials to visit, he let everyone go to work, leaving only a few main officials.

Bao Zheng asked Li Buqi very naturally: "Li Dujian, what do you think we should do first?"

Li Buqi had already made up his mind, and he said without hesitation: "To do things, you need people first. This police work needs professional people to do it. I think the most important thing right now is to find people. Find the right people to do the job. .”

Bao Zheng nodded: "That's right. From the strategy you wrote, the old man really needs someone who can do things and knows how to do things. Otherwise, there will be more success than failure. But how to find this person?"

Li Buqi said: "The lower officials always think that it is hard to find three-legged toads, but it is easy to find two-legged people. There are so many candidates for officials, and there are so many candidates stranded in Bianliang, there are always a few suitable ones." Yes. If there are not enough people, they will be selected from among the officials. These people will be tested first, and those who pass the test will be trained again. Those who can pass the training will be tested as officials for a period of time.

"The people below are just like when the Bureau of Capturing and Pirates was preparing to be established. A group was transferred from the Imperial City Department, a group was transferred from various yamen, and then another group was recruited. These people were also tried for a while. Those who are capable will stay, and the mediocre go After a few years, the Police Department will be able to do things seriously."

Bao Zheng asked: "But I don't know what to train?"

Li Buqi said: "Naturally, it is a matter of training the police professionally."

Bao Zheng waved his hand: "This old man doesn't understand, so Li Dujian will worry a lot. When the training is waiting, the old man will also listen to it. Do as you say for other things. The question of the exam will also trouble you. gone."

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.Li Buqi said: "The subordinate officials first draw up the questions, and then discuss with the referees. It's just the first time for officials to take the exam, and the referees need to consider how to operate it."

Bao Zheng said: "This old man will find a way."

Although Li Buqi doesn't know much about modern police professions, his knowledge is still at a crushing level for people in the Song Dynasty, so the exam questions and training questions have already been set.Lian Guangzhi was responsible for selecting the staff who ran the errands. He had experience in this, and Li Buqi had already provided him with a lot of staff.Only the selection of the cavalry under the Police Division was somewhat tricky.

Fortunately, now Xia Ji and others dare not trip Li Buqi, and even support Li Buqi with all their strength.Because if Li Buqi messed up his errands and someone jumped out to impeach him, then it would be a question of whether Li Buqi could be a teacher to the prince.If Li Buqi did not become the prince's teacher, wouldn't it be justifiable for the third prince to stay outside the palace?Isn't that causing trouble for the emperor and himself?Moreover, the emperor has repeatedly hinted that the matter of the police department is a major event for him, Zhao Zhen, and no one should make trouble, Chen Zhizhong is a role model.Therefore, no one with a wink will hit the muzzle of the gun.

The Privy Council issued an order to let Li Buqi randomly pick people from the Forbidden Army in the capital.That's easy.Li Buqi posted a notice at the gate of the barracks, clearly stating the requirements, future training content and treatment, and then waited for someone to come to the door.After the door-to-door examination, those who pass the examination will be sent to the military camp for transfer. Only those who have no bad records can undergo trial training. After passing the trial training, they can be officially transferred to the police department.

Although Li Buqi stated in the notice that the police cavalry training would be very difficult, everyone knew that Li Buqi would never withhold military pay.And the notice also stated that the police cavalry will be provided free of charge during the training period. This is definitely a rare benefit, so people who came to sign up crowded the gate of the barracks in the north of the city.
