Today is the Lantern Festival. Just after noon, Kaifeng City becomes extremely noisy. Countless people pour from outside the city and from the courtyards of the inner and outer cities onto the streets of the inner and outer cities.
Most of them are families with their families, some are elderly people, some are energetic young scholars, some are Huaichun ladies with hidden thoughts, and some are innocent children. Wearing their best and latest clothes, they show their best
A relaxed and beautiful smile.
I was so excited that I couldn't wait to integrate myself into this annual carnival night.
Sitting in the private room on the third floor of Changqing Building, Zhao Si looked through the window and silently looked at the fresh faces, feeling their desire and pursuit of life and life, and feeling the prosperity of Henan University accumulated over a hundred years of peace.
.
"Thirteenth Master, you brought me here this time... I'm afraid there will be complaints from my wife..." Ming Zhaoxia, wearing aqua green Jian Wang clothes and a Jian Wang hat, sat next to him and said hesitantly.
.
Zhao Si turned back and glanced at Ming Zhaoxia, who was disguised as a man.
The appearance of Mrs. Liu Sanni and her sudden transfer to Shengci Palace to serve her mother Zhu made the relationship between Zeng Shuhua and Ming Zhaoxia suddenly change from being respectful to each other to being intimate.
Sure enough, the best way to take the friendship between two people to a new level is to have a common enemy.
"Zhaoxia, you are worrying too much. I made it clear to my wife. It's not that I am biased, but that you know swordsmanship. Not only are you able to protect yourself, but you can also help me in critical moments. Secondly, the officials who visit privately in private
There is an extremely magnificent Lord Zhaoxia, who is a secret known to many caring people."
Ming Zhaoxia's eyes lit up, "Thirteenth Lang, are you fishing?"
Seeing her eagerness to give it a try, Zhao Si quickly added, "I am the bait, you are just the ingredients to make the nest, so that some people can be sure."
Ming Zhaoxia felt a little resentful, "I thought I was a fishhook."
Zhao Si laughed loudly.
After a while, Changsun Moli and Tan Shiji quietly entered the private room dressed in casual clothes.
"What new developments are there in Xuan Ming?"
"Officials, Cao Liulang has laid out a dragnet. His subordinates ordered Huaxia News Agency, Lixing Agency, all mobilized, scattered in the streets and alleys, mixed with the crowd, always detecting abnormalities. Military Intelligence Bureau, Privy Council Bureau, Judicial Investigation Bureau, Security Bureau
Under the unified command of the Counseling and Inspection Office, the Bureau formed a joint case handling team..."
Zhao Si listened quietly and then turned to Tan Shiji.
"The Red Heart Society was of great help this time. Several members provided extremely important clues and pointed the way to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and seize six barrels of kerosene. Next, the Red Heart Society will play a greater role.
Bangcheng, as the Director of the Records Bureau of the Red Heart Society, you must cooperate with Xuan Ming's work today."
"Here! The minister has issued a secret mobilization order in the name of the Records Bureau of the Red Heart Society. There are 1,300 members of the Red Heart Society, 675 of them in Kaifeng City, all over the center, Kaifeng Mansion, and the inner and outer cities.
At the grassroots level, they have all been mobilized, using their relatives, friends, connections, and their respective powers to investigate the situation and monitor abnormalities."
"Okay. You continue to work."
"Here!"
After waiting for a while, Cao Duo and Yang Jin came in.
"Cao Liulang, have your dragnets been laid out?"
"When we return to the official house, everything has been arranged." Cao Duo unfolded a map, "When Mr. Ji Zhong was improving the fire protection system in Kaifeng City, he built a twenty-meter-high watchtower next to each intersection, with
With a telescope, you can observe fire alarms two to three miles away. You can also observe every move in the streets and alleys within five hundred meters."
Cao Duo pointed to the many small red dots on the map and said.
"It's just that these watchtowers are mostly located in places where merchants gather in the outer city and inner city. They are not widely deployed in places where officials and central government offices gather, such as Beicheng, Dongcheng, and Nancheng."
"It doesn't matter, the houses in those places are not dense, the place is spacious, and there are servants and guards patrolling, it is easy to detect abnormalities. If a thief wants to set fire there, the gain will outweigh the loss." Zhao Si said.
"The officials are wise. The thieves planned this disaster carefully and worked hard, and they must hope to achieve the maximum effect. The ministers will try their best to make good use of these watchtowers. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"In the official family, the main force of the Police Department controlling the streets is the patrol force. But starting from the third year of Yuanfu, soldiers, civilians and officials have some criticisms of the patrol officers who wear armor and hold swords and guns on the street. Especially when they are carrying divine arm crossbows.
Military-made weapons such as strong bows can easily cause panic. So the Police Department has gradually improved it. Now patrol officers only wear light armor, waist knives and whistle sticks, and a small number of them are equipped with shields and guns."
Cao Duo said with some embarrassment: "The patrol team of the police department is more than enough to maintain law and order on a daily basis and deal with street gangsters. If it is not possible, there is a special police team that can be mobilized. Now we need to control Kaifeng City on a large scale, and we need a certain amount of combat effectiveness.
, the patrol team is not competent. The number of SWAT teams is small..."
He glanced at Zhao Si, who was silent, and continued: "The guards were mobilized, but the movement was too great. I was afraid of causing panic among the people, but also worried about alerting others."
"Assemble the guards, the left and right Yi Guards, and the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guards Infantry Regiment to put on the uniforms of the special police and patrol teams without changing their weapons. They will go into hibernation at various points and be on standby at any time. I will immediately report to the Military Counselor and the Guards.
Ministry, the Four Guards and Guards are going to order."
Zhao Si thought for a moment and then ordered.
"Here!" Cao Duo responded in surprise.
"Rokuro, the issue you just mentioned deserves attention. Previously, the Imperial Army and the Xiang Army were changed to the police, and the military's combat effectiveness was still retained. After more than a year of continuous changes, the police finally became a force to maintain public security and social order.
Paramilitary teams. Their professionalism has been strengthened, but their combat effectiveness has been weakened."
"But the world will not be peaceful yet. Once something goes wrong, the garrison and county soldiers will be mobilized, and nothing will change..."
The garrison belongs to the standing field army, and the county soldiers belong to the local garrison. The local government has no right to mobilize and only obeys the mobilization of the Privy Council. Once something happens, it will be reported to each level and then issued to the next level. Urgent matters will be completely delayed.
"In this way, Liu Lang, you can add a security police officer to the construction of the police system. On the basis of the security, criminal, road administration, and internal support police types, add a security police officer. In a large city with a population of 100,000 or in Zhili Prefecture, add a security police officer.
The troops are built according to the county military system. The quota depends on the population of the state and city."
"This can not only respond to large-scale emergencies, shock local areas, maintain public order, but also provide multiple outlets for the reorganized Forbidden Army. I did not expect that there would be so many Forbidden Army troops recruited from various places! The Reclamation Regiment and the Zhouqiao Regiment
, engineering corps, transportation agencies, construction agencies, shipping agencies, arsenals, smelters, shipyards, factories and mines... so many people have been diverted away, and there are still more than 100,000 remaining... redundant soldiers and redundant personnel.
Fei, it is indeed a century-old disease."
Zhao Si sighed a few words, and then said sternly to Cao Duo: "That's something to talk about later. Your top priority now is to crack this major case, catch the culprit, and ensure the safety of Kaifeng City."
"Here!"
"Yang Jin!"
"I'm here!"
"The Iron Blood Group also provided a lot of important evidence this time. Some criminals and accomplices were arrested, and six barrels of kerosene were seized. The Iron Blood Group made a great contribution."
"Thank you for the compliment," Yang Jin said respectfully.
The Iron Blood Regiment was formed by Wei Baoqing, Bai Chonghu and other mid-level officers of the Forbidden Army who were the first to follow Zhao Si.
After two years of experience, it has spread among the middle and low-level officers of all the armies. It has developed well, and the organization and system are very complete. After Wei Baoqing, Bai Chonghu and others were transferred to the northwest for battle, Yang Jin, who was also an officer of the Forbidden Army, became a member of the Iron-Blooded Regiment.
Director of the Bureau.
"Keep up the good work! Cooperate with Cao Liulang to solve this major case."
"Here!"
Next came Yan Qing from Lixing News Agency and Liu Chuanfeng from the Huaxia News Agency's interview office, who arrived in casual clothes one after another to pay their respects to Zhao Si.
"Is Lixing Company the largest transportation company in the Song Dynasty now?"
Yan Qing said respectfully: "When I return to the official family, under the wise guidance of the official family and the efforts of all my colleagues, Lixingshe has become the first land transportation and inland water transport company in the Song Dynasty. In the twelfth month of last year, Lixingshe was established in Guichuan City, Dali
Shipping Society. From now on, there are Lixing Society's carriages and boats from the Northern Liao Roads in the north, to Shazhou in the west, and to Panyu in the south."
"Okay, keep working hard."
"Here!"
"And your China News Agency interview office..."
Liu Chuanfeng responded quickly: "When I return to my official home, in addition to the various cities in the Song Dynasty, news agencies have opened branches in Northern Liao, Xixia, Goryeo, Dongbo, Li Yue, Dali, Champa and other South China Sea countries, sending correspondents to carry out operations.
The job of interviewing..."
"Li Xingshe and the news agency have many eyes and ears. It was you who provided clues to the beginning of this major case... Now, you must prick up all your ears and keep all your eyes open, and don't let go of any clues.
..”
"Here!"
After Yan Qing and Liu Chuanfeng left, Liu Yanqing came in and said, "The official family and the minister have an important clue." This chapter has been completed!
