I'm really not the carpenter emperor

When a local patrol room encounters a difficult case that is difficult to handle, it can request the third-party patrol to take over from the higher-level patrol room.

After obtaining the permission of the higher-level patrol office, the provincial third-party patrol can be dispatched to take over the case. As for searching a certain place and apprehending the fugitive, these are the measures that the third-party patrol can take.

In case of resistance, Sanfang patrols can directly take corresponding measures.

After obtaining the evidence, the Sanfang patrol can bypass the local government and file a conviction request with the chief patrol.

After confirmation by the Chief Patrol Office, submit the case evidence directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

What Zhu Youxiao wants them to do is to be the Chief Detective of the Sanfang Patrol in Jifu, directly manage the three-room patrols that will be set up successively across the country in the future, and be responsible to the Shuntian Chief Patrol Office.

The Shuntian chief patrol house is under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment.

The three of them looked at each other, froze for a moment, and shouted, "Yes!"

"We are willing to contribute to Your Majesty's efforts to rectify local order!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "In this case, you have received your uniforms, and after you prepare to set up a general patrol room, go there to report."

"The performance before graduation will be a part of your graduation grades."

Feng Shuangli, Hong Niangzi and Bai Wenxuan nodded and left one after another. Zhu Youxiao could see that their chests were still heaving, and it was obvious that their hearts were far more excited than they showed.

The candidate for the Sanfang Chief Patrol has already been finalized by Zhu Youxiao. As for the candidates for the Sanfang Patrol Chief in other provinces, there is no need to do it personally.

After Zhu Youxiao said this, he left the Royal Academy. Although he politely asked Wang Zaijin a few words, he did not enter Wenhua Academy.

……

The news of the patrol house and the Sanfang patrol not only shocked the officialdom, but also became a topic of conversation in the local people, young and old.

For civil servants, this is equivalent to a change in the pattern.

The original Ministry of Punishment was even inferior to the Ministry of Industry. Although it was in charge of criminal cases across the country and seemed to have a lot of authority, its status was extremely low. The most important thing was that it was easy to offend various big bosses.

The minister of the Ministry of War is very popular, the minister of the Ministry of officials has the highest status, the minister of the Ministry of household is very fat, the minister of the Ministry of rites has nothing to do, and even the minister of the Ministry of industry can do some big projects to enrich his pockets.

However, he, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, did nothing but offend people.

Check it out, it's easy to offend big bosses from all walks of life, if you don't check it out, you can also offend the emperor and the criminals' enemies, anyway, it's wrong to do anything.

So generally speaking, Ministers of the Ministry of Justice either have a very low sense of existence, or they all die badly.

Li Yangzheng, the second secretary of the Ministry of Justice in this dynasty, is considered a rare person. He was on the right team in the Donglin imperial examination case in the fifth year of Tianqi, and the Shanshan officialdom case in the sixth year of Tianqi.

Coupled with the fact that Li Yangzheng is a normal person, he is cautious, and he has long since broken away from Donglin and the eunuch party, so he has been living a good life until now.

This time, Zhu Youxiao's actions are clearly aimed at rectifying the national judiciary, rebuilding order, and allowing justice to be done. In the eyes of civil officials, this is different.

After the establishment of the patrol room, especially the three-room patrol, which is similar to the reserve soldiers, began to recruit locally, which is equivalent to having certain military power in the hands of the Ministry of Punishment.

This is no joke, civil servants have military power in their hands, and their status can be raised a lot at any time, even though they are only "policemen".

People who have experienced official struggles know that this is the guarantee for them to live and work in the vast ocean of officialdom.

As for why he didn't hold all the police force in the patrol room in the hands of himself and future emperors, this was also the result of Zhu Youxiao's careful consideration.

As long as you have military power in your hands, this little police force can't make waves at all, and if you don't have military power in your hands, this little police force is even more useless.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, an appropriate political compromise is necessary.

This will not only allow the Ministry of Punishment and related officials to desperately support this reform, but also allow civil officials to fight among themselves.

Zhu Youxiao has been the emperor for a long time, so he naturally knows that once the civil servants fight among themselves, things that the emperor wants to do will be easier to handle.

As for civil servants, we can't just kill them blindly. If we have killed enough, we have to throw a sweet date to let them taste the dividends and sweetness brought by the reform.

Only in this way can we develop step by step.

Back in the capital, Zhu Youxiao first went to the harem to see Concubine Meng Utia, and accompanied her to Nanhaizi for a short horse ride. This was his preparation for leaving the capital.

After all, there are now more than 20 soldiers and horses from all over the country gathered in Tongzhou.

If the emperor himself is not present, he can't justify it, and the subsequent scenes will not be easy to perform.

Chapter 9 and Seven Come to Tongzhou

Thirty miles southeast of the capital, outside Tongzhou City.

Tongzhou, since ancient times, has been the only place to pass from Liaodong to the capital, and it is also the last barrier of the capital's vassal screen, and Zhu Youxiao has also built Tongzhou into an important town in Jifu.

Tongzhou soldiers not only participated in the Southwest War in the second year of Tianqi, but also went to Liaodong with Zhu Xieyuan to fight against Jiannu, and defeated the Eight Banners led by Nurhachi. There is no doubt about their combat effectiveness and loyalty.

In October last year, the imperial court issued a call to action against captives and began to mobilize troops from all over the world to Beijing. By January of this year, when the last troops from Yunnan arrived, the assembly was considered complete.

By the end of February, the soldiers and horses of the world had been staying near Tongzhou in the suburbs of Beijing for more than a month. If it weren't for the Jingjun and Zhang Weixian, there would have been troubles.

With so many soldiers and horses, if there is a disturbance in Jifu, it will not end well, and the impact will be extremely bad, which may not be eliminated in the next few years.

So as soon as Zhu Youxiao finished handling the matter at hand and arranged Beijing-China affairs, he immediately led the Yongwei Battalion to Tongzhou.

Thirty miles away, the army of the Yongwei Battalion set off after eating in the early morning, and arrived before noon, just in time to catch up with the soldiers and horses from all over the place for lunch.

Two 10,000+ troops gathered outside the city of Tongzhou, and the momentum of the camp was extremely large. Looking from a distance, the smoke was densely covered for several miles.

Inside the camp, people shouted and neighed.

Numerous people came in and out, appearing chaotic and noisy. The large tent of the Chinese army in the center was the tent of the British Duke Zhang Weixian.

Only generals at the rank of commander-in-chief, participating general, and guerrilla general can have a single-man military account, and they have their own status regulations.

These military tents are dotted with stars, and they are arranged around the commander's tent like stars.

A general of the Tongzhou guard who was patrolling the wall of the Yingpan village was chatting and laughing with others a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye he felt that the wall under his feet was trembling and trembling.

Looking up, he didn't know when, a black army had already appeared in front of his eyes. At a rough glance, the number of people was at least over ten thousand.

This army of soldiers and horses, following orders and prohibitions, advances and retreats like one person, everyone is dressed in red and black armor, and behind them is a tiger spear made of fine steel.

Their high flags are the most conspicuous, engraved on it is actually a nine-clawed golden dragon, and the leader is the Tianqi Emperor in bright yellow armor with a white horse on his crotch.

Soon, this general realized that this was the unique military flag of the Yongwei Battalion of the Emperor's Forbidden Army.

"The Forbidden Army Guards Battalion has arrived!"

"Your Majesty has arrived in Tongzhou!"

The general manager quickly put away the smile on his face, shouted back, and then ran down the wall of the village, leading more than [-] Tongzhou soldiers on duty to the front of the Yongwei battalion army.

"Zhao Yong, general general of Tongzhou guards, the lowly post, please refer to your majesty, long live long live!"

"Meet Governor Chen!"

Chen Ce narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

At this time, the rest of the surrounding soldiers and horses were able to react, and they ran to the sides one after another, kneeling down sincerely, admiring the aura of the brave guard battalion in front of them.

The British public Zhang Weixian got the news and brought a group of general soldiers.The general and the guerrilla general Shanshan rushed over, and when they met, they fell to the ground.

"Minister Zhang Weixian, see Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Only then did Zhu Youxiao snort coldly, expressing his satisfaction, and then he just drove up to Zhang Weixian, helped him by the hand, and said lightly:

"My lord, please stand up."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youxiao looked around indifferently at the generals around him, and said in the same tone: "Get up, and follow me into account!"

Zhu Youxiao rode a horse to Shuai Zhang, maybe it should be called Yu Zhang now.

Chen Ce tied the emperor's car and his own horse, and then he stood outside the tent and said to the generals waiting around:

"The chief soldier is in the account, the generals are out, and the guerrillas are in the back. Enter the account!"

The 28 generals from all over the country looked at each other and walked into the tent with their heads held high. The generals also stood outside the tent in high spirits.

As for the guerrilla generals and military officers from all over the country, they can only stand in front of the team and wait for the superiors to come back and tell them the emperor's will this time.

In their view, the emperor's visit to Tongzhou must be to make pre-war arrangements for the battle and mobilize the oath, and it will not be a bad thing anyway.

Under the command of Chen Ce, the army of the Yongwei Battalion tightly protected the surrounding area of ​​the imperial tent and took over the defense of the entire camp.

Stables, grain depots, ordnance stores, and so on, are the venues that the Yongwei Battalion must take over.

Zhu Youxiao walked to the chair, waited quietly for a while, and waited until the 28 generals from all over the country had all stood still in front of their respective chairs, before turning their heads, he said calmly:

"All sit down."

After the words fell, the 28 general officers sat down neatly, with excited eyes in their eyes.

Afterwards, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and lightly stroked the handle of the wooden seat, turned his back and said, "This time I came to Tongzhou to arrange before the war, and personally preside over the swearing-in ceremony."

These words, the commander-in-chief had expected, not surprised.

They just secretly looked forward to it, thinking about how to fight at that time, so as to minimize the loss of the headquarters and get the most credit.

But soon, what Zhu Youxiao said next made everyone unable to believe that what they heard was true.

"Of course, there is one more thing."

"I heard that some of you have indulged the arrogance and lawlessness of the headquarters at the local level, disregarded military discipline, and acted viciously to harm the people."

After saying this, there was already some movement below.

But Zhu Youxiao's voice didn't stop, and because his back was still facing everyone, his expression was also elusive, and he could only hear some clues from his tone.

However, Zhu Youxiao hid the anger, disappointment and excitement in his heart very well.

"There are still some of you who don't build armaments all day long, take advantage of the convenience of their positions, and seek personal gain for themselves. They use the soldiers and horses of the imperial court and the soldiers and horses of mine to farm land, build mansions, become tenant farmers, and serve as domestic servants. ..."

"The morale of the army is slackened, and the common people cry for grievances. Are they still my soldiers?"

"Is it still a soldier of Ming Dynasty, huh?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao turned around slowly, his quiet eyes swept across the 28 soldiers from all over the place like sharp swords, and said expressionlessly:

"Are these real?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all of them were frightened by the sudden sharp eyes of Emperor Tianqi, and the silence in the imperial tent was so chilling.

"I'm asking you something!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly increased his tone, slapping the case with his palm.

"Song Li, the chief soldier of Xi'an Prefecture Water Transport, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao cast his eyes on a general soldier sitting on the left, and sneered:

"'Even if the current emperor comes, there is nothing he can do about me', is it you who said that?"

"Are you amazing?"

"Now I didn't look for you, you came by yourself, tell me, what can I do with you today?"

Song Liwei thought that even the emperor knew this, and he was sweating and trembling all over for a moment, not even the slightest thought of sophistry was left.

Obviously, only his confidant servant knows these words!

He knelt down on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Those are just drunken nonsense, they can't be true!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't leave him any chance. He sat on the chair and said indifferently: "Song Li, you are in an important position in water transportation, but you know and break the law repeatedly. You let me down very much."

"Take Song Li down and kill him."

Chapter 9 and Eight

Immediately, two soldiers from the Yongwei Battalion stepped forward, one on the left and the other on the right, setting up Song Li, and they were about to drag him out.

Song Li struggled frantically, a soldier slipped his hand, and inadvertently let go of his hand. Song Li hurried forward a few steps as soon as he broke free, and knelt on the ground.

However, this move of his frightened Zhang Weixian and the rest of the people.

The two soldiers were even more terrified, and stepped forward to hold him firmly again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty spare my life!"

"I, Song Li, know what I did wrong when I was in office, but please listen to me, Your Majesty, if you still want to kill me, I will say nothing!"

Whether Song Li broke free and ran towards him, or knelt down and begged for mercy, Zhu Youxiao didn't move a single step the whole time. Hearing this, he thought for a moment, but waved his hand.

Seeing this, the two soldiers let go, but because of the previous incident, they still stood beside Song Li, waiting to strike at any time.
