"The Police Department is divided into six major areas. Patrol detachment, road police detachment, fire detachment, detective detachment, special police detachment, as well as internal affairs auxiliary agencies and the affairs bureau."
Zhao Si spoke to the people sitting in a circle.
Zhang Shuye, Changsun Moli, Zeng Baohua, Cao Duo, Wei Baoqing, Bai Chonghu, Wang Zhen, Gao Shixuan and Hu Luxiong were all present, silently remembering.
They are now Zhao Si's basic military and political team, and today is also the first plenary meeting.
"The selection criteria for each department have been drawn up and the training syllabus has been issued. Time is tight. After the personnel are selected, they will first go on duty and then take turns training on the job. The Police Department is a semi-military department, and its discipline is different from that of the Xiaoqi Battalion and other Forbidden Forces.
It is also different from the Xiang Army. The code and discipline manual is being printed and will be promulgated and implemented soon."
"Currently, we will operate with these six major blocks and seven departments."
Zhao Si glanced at everyone and found that everyone was listening attentively and continued talking.
"When the time is right, we will separate the inner city bureau, the left and right outer city bureaus, and vertically manage the inner and outer cities of Kaifeng City. After running for a while, we will separate the police stations under each bureau."
"After everything is stable, the Inner and Outer City Police Department will be changed to the Gyeonggi Police Department, and then police stations will be set up in Zhongmu, Xiangfu, Weishi, Chenliu and other Gyeonggi counties."
Zhang Shuye raised his head and asked: "Your Highness, are the Police Department and the subsequent police stations making pilot preparations for subsequent changes?"
"Yes. It's okay for a small place. A few dozen policemen can take care of everything. But it's not possible for a big place. Kaifeng City has a population of one million, and other cities such as Yangzhou, Jiangning, Hangzhou, and Xi'an have hundreds of thousands of people.
Just relying on the police and past methods is no longer enough. We want the people to live and work in peace and contentment. We must first live in peace and contentment before we can live and work happily."
"Therefore, the formation, selection, training and operation of the inner and outer city police departments must be accelerated. The 40,000 Xiang troops and Pu troops must form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. The detective detachment and the patrol detachment must know the streets and alleys of Kaifeng City, both overt and covert. Firefighting
The team has also been rapidly upgraded, from passive fire-fighting to active fire-fighting. The special police detachment must become an iron fist to combat all lawlessness."
"I have informed the officials that the special police detachment is equipped according to the standard configuration of the infantry guards. It is equipped with light armor, swords, guns and crossbows. Cao Liulang, Mr. Ji Zhong is still waiting for your police department to conduct the first attack on Kaifeng City.
Strike hard."
Cao Duo responded quickly, "I will do my best! Complete the task as soon as possible."
Changsun Moli asked.
"Your Highness, the Xiaoqi camp has a propaganda bureau, a police department and a subsequent police station. Do you want to follow the same rules?"
Zhao Si thought for a while, "Let's not set it now. We will discuss it later depending on the situation. Also, since it is a semi-military unit, it must also sing songs to praise its aspirations and boost morale."
"Loyal and loyal, vigilant and protective. The child of the people and the teacher of civilization... I think this song is well written, but the song is too slow. Make it more exciting, make it faster. What we want to sing is a war song with high morale, not a mourning song.
Song."
...
"The officials have agreed to my plan to reorganize the Forbidden Army. They will form three battalions of Huben, forward, and trapped troops under the name of Zuo Yiwei. Each has a quota of three thousand, and they will be selected from the infantry in front of the Gyeonggi Palace and the guards. The officials gave me three
Months, three months later he will review the four battalions of cavalry and infantry."
At this point, Zhao Si's tone increased, "We must let the officials see the results of the training before we can make the next step of rectification and training plans."
"My subordinate understands."
Wei Baoqing, Bai Chonghu, Wang Zhen, Gao Shixuan and Hu Luxiong had the loudest voices.
Zhao Si nodded and continued, "Hu Ben, the forward battalion, my idea is to continue to train based on the Yuanyang Formation based on the experiments of the Yuanyang Formation of the Xiaoqi Battalion and the actual experience of the Beiji Temple. Such an infantry army
, can be gathered and dispersed, suitable for fighting on multiple terrains, called light infantry. In my imagination, it is the main force of the infantry."
"As for the trapped formation," Zhao Si looked around at everyone, "I want to train according to the grand square formation."
Everyone looked stern and a little excited.
His Highness has come up with new tricks again.
During the previous training of the heroic cavalry battalion, in addition to the mandarin duck formation of the infantry, there were also tactics such as large roundabouts and outflanks that summarized previous cavalry operations, which were all refreshing to everyone.
What new things will you come up with this time?
"The entire trapped camp has 3,000 people, divided into three cities, each with 1,000 people. Each city is equipped with 600 spearmen, 300 strong crossbowmen and 100 light armored soldiers. The strong crossbowmen use divine arm crossbows.
, equipped with stabbing swords. The light armored men were equipped with straight swords, and used round shields and hooked sickles. The spearmen wore iron armor and used special spears, one foot to six feet long."
Everyone was surprised by such a long spear.
But they didn't make a sound and continued to listen quietly.
Zhao Si took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table.
"This is the configuration diagram I drew. You see, the spearmen are gathered into a huge phalanx, with their spears pointing forward and forming a wall, which can be attacked and defended. The crossbowmen are divided into four corners, forming a phalanx.
Provide fire cover. The light soldiers are flexible and mobile, covering the flanks of the phalanx and plugging holes."
"In actual combat, the Sandu phalanx can be assembled into a large phalanx. Together with the light infantry and cavalry, it can serve as the support point of the entire battlefield."
Zhao Si pointed at the drawing and said.
He looked at the symbol on the paper that marked the crossbowman.
Well, let's start with this. Today's divine arm crossbows are quite powerful, but they require too much effort. A well-trained crossbow cannot be cocked twenty or thirty times with both hands and feet. Any more and it will be useless.
A thick and stupid matchlock gun can be made, but I don't know when it will be successful.
The construction of the craftsmen's courtyard in Akicang Town in the south of the city is still proceeding slowly, with so many things going on that it won't get started quickly.
Wei Baoqing looked at it for a while and asked solemnly: "The square array designed by His Highness seems to have a special purpose?"
"Yes, phalanx, that is, heavy infantry, I use it to fight cavalry."
Hearing this, everyone cheered up.
"The biggest flaw in the country's military equipment is the lack of cavalry, which makes it difficult to compete on the battlefield. So at the beginning, I had to use the phalanx as a battlefield support point to carry the Hexi or Khitan cavalry, deal with them, and consume their strength. Wait for them to languish.
Then, we will use our cavalry and light infantry to counterattack."
Having said this, Zhao Si glanced at the dubious crowd and said with a smile: "This is just an idea of mine. It still needs to be tested continuously during training. It just so happens that we have a cavalry and a cavalry battalion. When the time comes, we will use the cavalry battalion to attack the enemy.
The camp will practice with the Huben, forward battalion, infantry and cavalry troops, discover problems and make improvements."
Everyone nodded.
After talking about the police department and military matters, everyone left in agitated moods, leaving only Zhao Si and Changsun Moli in the room.
"Brother Xuanming, you have to urge Su Xingfang and Fan Donghai to quickly open the route between Goryeo and Liaodong."
"Your Highness, please make it clear."
"Use trade to win over and infiltrate Goryeo, and win over and infiltrate the barbarians in the Northeast, especially the Jurchens."
Zhao Si went straight to the topic.
"Goryeo is currently torn between the Guo Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. We must penetrate and manage this country well and become an important base for the Liao Kingdom's flanks. As for the barbarians in the northeast..."
"Yesterday I met the Khitan envoys at the Imperial Palace. They are almost the same as the imperial dynasty. I heard that the nobles of the Liao Dynasty believe in Buddhism and are extremely extravagant..."
Changsun Moli understood immediately, "Your Highness, you mean that the nobles of the Liao Kingdom are in a state of decay, and the barbarians in the Northeast will take advantage of this situation and rise up?"
"It's possible. The upper class of the Liao Kingdom has been corrupted, but its main body is still the tribe. The people ride horses and herd cattle, but they still have some fighting ability. Fighting against these mud-like imperial guards is simply devastating. Besides, I think that in a few years,
, the imperial court will still use troops against the Hexi family."
"Your Highness, is this the late emperor's will?" Changsun Moli's eyes almost condensed into two focuses.
"It's just part of the reason. If the Hexi family is not completely eliminated, the state will not be able to control Qingtang, Hehuang, Liangzhou, Juyanhai and other places. These are rich in good horses. Without a large number of war horses, how can the state compete with the Liao state?
Fight? How to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun?"
Changsun Moli's eyes lit up and he became very excited.
Your Highness has great ambitions, soaring through the sky. I am not with the wrong person!
"It's just that we have a dilemma now. Once we gain the upper hand in the battle against Hexi, the Liao Kingdom will definitely not sit idly by and watch, and may send troops southward. Therefore, we must prepare for a rainy day so that the Liao Kingdom has no time to look south, so that we can have the opportunity to make an all-out effort.
Knock out the Hexi family!"
"My subordinates understand! I will definitely treat this matter as a top priority. Open the Liaodong trade route as soon as possible, meet with the Northeast Jurchens, and look for opportunities."
"Well," Zhao Si nodded, "Also, the surrounding countries, including Hexi and Liao, all admire the culture of the country. Brother Xuanming, set up another newspaper called "Wenlin News" to publish articles about everyone.
Famous articles, mixed with anecdotes from the literary world and poetry reviews."
Zhao Si looked very solemn, "Mr. Er Su and others are on their way to be recalled, as well as that old gangster Zhou Bangyan. We can pay them a lot of money to invite them to publish their articles in Wenlin Newspaper, and focus on distributing them to surrounding countries."
"What do you mean by your highness?" Changsun Moli wanted to find out Zhao Si's intention.
"Cultural export. By using everyone's famous articles and mixing them with private goods, the literati from the surrounding countries unconsciously formed an idea in their hearts. The Song Dynasty is the orthodoxy and the celestial dynasty, so we in the Song Dynasty do everything
It’s just! Opposing the Song Dynasty means resisting the general trend and going against nature!”
The eldest grandson, Moli, opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
Zhao Si continued: "For the Liao Kingdom, we have to do more. We can find someone to apply for the publication of some newspapers, focusing on the greed and extravagance of the Liao clan and nobles, excessive taxation, and the suffering of the people."
Zhao Si thought for a while and started counting with his fingers.
"For example, "The Tragic Story of the Talented Girl Xiao Guanyin", "The Life of the Powerful Prime Minister Yelv Yixin", "The Tragic Story of the Third King of the Han Slaves", "The Story of the Tragic Skinning of Manu Dashi"... Anyway, it was in the Liao Kingdom,
Talented and upright people are brutally persecuted, and treacherous, greedy and cruel people are prevalent. The government is corrupt and the people are in dire straits..."
"If the Liao Kingdom protests, we will revoke the licenses of these newspapers and give them an explanation. We will ask those people to change their vests, register and apply for new newspaper licenses, and continue to publish and distribute."
Changsun Moli's jaw almost hit the ground.
Is this okay?
It seems really doable!
If we continue to follow this method, after a few years, the people of Liao will definitely become unstable, people will be in panic, the government and the people will be in conflict, and the society will be shaken.
Your Highness is truly an unparalleled genius! This chapter has been completed!
