    As a police force that protects economic development and stabilizes people's lives and public security, Zhang Hanqing attaches great importance to it.  At that time, unlike later generations, the police were divided into many categories.  Because they are a new thing, the police have been wearing many hats since the birth of China: public security, civil affairs, anti-smuggling, transportation, firefighting, and armed counter-insurgency.  In particular, the duty of armed counterinsurgency allows the police force to have a considerable and legal armed force.

    The birth of the Guannai Police can be traced back to the Security Bureau established by Huang Zunxian during the New Deal in Hunan in the late Qing Dynasty, which was the first of its kind in modern China's police.  In 1902, when Yuan Shikai was ordered by Cixi to serve as the acting (i.e., acting) Governor-General of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang and to wipe out the Gengzi Incident, because Tianjin was under the occupation of Western powers, the Governor-General of Zhili who was supposed to be based in Tianjin could only  Can stay in Baoding and take office.

    The first thing Lao Yuan had to do after taking office was to negotiate for the abolition of the foreign "Dutong Yamen" and its return to Tianjin.  Because the "Xinchou Treaty" stipulated that the Qing government was not allowed to station Chinese troops within 20 kilometers of the Tianjin Concession. This was a big trick played by foreigners: no troops were allowed to be stationed in Tianjin, and no one was able to maintain public security in the city. Foreign troops stationed in the Concession  Then we can legitimately "maintain law and order".  In this way, even if Tianjin was returned to the Qing government, it would still be under the control of foreigners.

    Yuan Shikai's intelligence was fully demonstrated at this time: he selected 3,000 veterans from six towns in Beiyang who were about to complete their service. Under the intensive training of retired foreign policemen hired from the concessions with high salaries in Shandong, Shanghai and other places, a team of  A new military branch was born.  These people were originally Beiyang veterans with high military qualities and obedience spirit, and they quickly mastered the skills and knowledge of the police.

    Lao Yuan also sent Tang Shaoyi, who was proficient in diplomacy, to negotiate with the great powers, and solemnly proposed that as long as the capital offices of the eight countries were not abolished and foreign troops were not withdrawn from Tianjin, he would not move to Tianjin. Naturally, all "remedial matters"  "There is no way to handle it.  In order to further absorb the fruits of victory, the great powers finally compromised and formally handed over the Dutong Yamen to the Qing government. However, they stated that if the Chinese government could not guarantee the safety of foreigners, the armies of the great powers would come back again.

    Yuan Shikai, who was well prepared, quickly took over Tianjin.  When this 3,000-strong Chinese police force marched neatly into Tianjin, the foreigners in Tianjin were stunned. This was really beyond their expectation. There are actually police in China?  At first, they thought they were using regular troops to make up the numbers, but after Yuan Shikai politely invited the consuls and military attach¨¦s from various countries to inspect the Chinese police on the streets, they became speechless.

    Because these first batch of patrol policemen in China used very skillful gestures to direct traffic on the street, or politely questioned suspicious pedestrians on the road, they fully demonstrated their extremely high professionalism and even foreigners had to obey.  There was no reason to find fault, and Tianjin City was successfully recovered.  In this way, Tianjin became the first place patrolled by "patrol police" in modern China, and also made Tianjin the city with the best security in the country at that time. "For six months, no thieves were seen, and Westerners were also impressed."

    The effect was remarkable, so the Empress Dowager Cixi issued an edict, requiring all parts of the country to follow Yuan Shikai's example in establishing a police system. On October 8, 1905, the Qing government set up a patrol department with Shangshu Xu Shichang and Minister Zhao Bingjun.  In this sense, Yuan Shikai had vision and merit in the establishment of China's modern police.

    However, although the government advocates the establishment of a police system, and although the capital and other places have actively tried to explore it, the construction of police administration has not been on the right track for a long time, and each province has its own approach.  Outside the customs, the police system was even worse because Japan and Russia intervened successively, and there were also beards causing chaos.  In addition, after Zhang Zuolin started his career, he handed over the police and local security duties to Tang Yulin, a big boss, and it is natural to predict what kind of tricks he can do.

    The veteran veterans of the 27th Division often interfered in police affairs and took the opportunity to do things that would benefit the people.  In particular, the provincial secret agent team, of which Tang Yulin is also the commander, combines the responsibilities of police and special agents. It is "outstanding" in Fengtian and has a very bad influence.  The police is a special department. It is not only a state violence machine, but also a bridge between the government and the people.  Tang Yulin is a big boss, how do you expect the people he leads to have a sense of "service"?  Considering the Northeastern beard tradition, it¡¯s good that there¡¯s no blatant collusion between police and gangsters.

    Zhang Hanqing¡¯s first move in military and police reform was to disband the secret service and take back police power.

    The separation of the military and the police has been ignored on many occasions, so it was expected that he would lose the power to manage the police. However, Zhang Hanqing acted too fast and did not have time to explain his funeral.  The disbandment of the secret agent team would end Tang Yulin's life. The reason why he claimed to be Zhang Zuolin's boss in Fengtian City and he was second in rank was that, in addition to his position as brigade commander, he relied on the police and the secret agent team in the political world.  Now that all power has been lost, how do people think of Lao Tang¡¯s status in Fengtian and Zhang Zuolin¡¯s hearts?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The biggest resistance to reform in the future is vested interests, which was extremely obvious during the reform of the Fengtian military and police.  Brigadier Tang Yulin, who had already played an important role in the army, did not accept Zhang Hanqing's theory. He expressed his objection to Zhang Zuolin: "The secret agent team has made great contributions to the big brother. We can't just disband it! And if the police are handed over to others, will the big brother feel relieved?"  Besides, what about the food and clothing of my hundreds of brothers? It would be terrible if they cause chaos!"

    At the beginning, I had worked very hard for Zhang Zuolin. Lao Zhang was able to secure Fengtian. In addition to his 27th Division, the contribution of the secret agent team cannot be underestimated.  He did a great job of inquiring about information, spying on privacy, looking for people and things that were unfavorable to Zhang Zuolin, and supervising the high-ranking military and political officials in Fengtian City.  With this power, he was able to control the wind and rain in Fengtian as a brigade commander, and his status was second only to Zhang Zuolin.  Now, just because of the whims of a child like Zhang Hanqing, the team he has worked so hard to create must be disbanded - not only are they men and horses, but they are also a symbol of status!

    As one of the councilors of Fengtian Governor, Zhang Hanqing was directly involved in various important policies of Zhang Zuolin and was sitting at the time.  He hates this kind of face the most, and he threatens her even more!  Given time, the tail will really be too big to fall off.  At that moment, he smiled and said: "If some people are going to cause trouble after being laid off, then these people have been laid off correctly! And they must be laid off! Otherwise, anyone can challenge the Military Governor's Office, and how will government and military orders be enforced in the future!"

    Zhang Zuolin didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face like this. He was not the one to be threatened. He was unhappy and said: "Fourth brother, you have already had a hard time leading troops to fight. If you are in charge of the police, it will be easy for people to gossip."  (Tang Yulin: Who the hell would gossip? It¡¯s not you who is trying to kill the donkey.) This military and police reform must be done, and the return of police power to the government is also in line with the trend!

    As for the secret agent team, although it is said to be disbanded, it will still be re-branded.  You know, the name of the secret agent team is not good. I plan to re-plan it and call it "Fengtian Intelligence Bureau". Fourth brother, what do you think?  If people from the Secret Service are needed, they can rejoin.  As for the specific person, I'll wait for you and Xiao Liuzi to do the detailed calculations.  "

    He changed the topic and raised his voice an octave: "As for the chaos, I don't believe it anymore. When I only had a few dozen men and guns, I never frowned when facing 1,800 bandits. Now I have tens of thousands of men and guns.  , but they are too timid to do anything! Minister, don¡¯t worry too much, if they really dare to cause chaos, I will personally lead my troops to defeat them!"

    Seeing Zhang Zuolin getting angry, Tang Yulin did not dare to say a word, so he could only hang his head and said: "Fourth brother said so, what else can I say? I will disband the secret agent team when I get back and let each of them find their own mother!" Since it is just a name change, why not?  Want to take away his management rights?  Obviously paving the way for Xiao Liuzi.  It seems that the sworn brotherhood is not as useful as the father-son relationship (isn¡¯t this nonsense)!

    He suddenly remembered something and asked jealously: "Who do you want, eldest brother, to lead the police? Is it Yu Zhen or the assistant minister?"

    Yu Zhen has also been with Zhang Zuolin for a long time. He once served as the inspector general of the Fengtian Provincial Police Department, which made him justifiable;  The brother who became the master is now the commander of the artillery regiment of the 27th Division. His rank is not high, but his rank is that of an army major general.  It would be reasonable for Zhang Zuolin to take care of him.

    However, his territory is being shared by others. If he doesn¡¯t fight for it, others will think that he, Tang Yulin, is easy to bully!  After all, he is also a well-known figure in the provincial capital. As long as Zhang Zuolin chooses any of these two people, even if it is replaced by Yang Yuting or Sun Liechen, he will compete for it.  It's too bullying. While using the reason of separation of military and police to reduce your own power, you also send others to take over power. Which one of Yu Zhen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Yang Yuting, and Sun Liechen is not a member of the army?  Is it just me, Lao Tang, who is easy to bully?

    But Zhang Zuolin's answer surprised him: "No, I have hired Wang Minyuan as the Chief of Police and the Director of the Provincial Capital Police - the old men of the 27th Division will not get involved in politics again in the future, and they must serve well as soldiers."  "

    Now Tang Yulin had nothing to say.

    Who is this Wang Minyuan?  In the Northeast in the early years of the Republic of China, he was Wang Yongjiang, a well-known person outside China known as the "Two Kings" together with Wang Shuhan in the financial world.  He studied the Book of Changes since childhood, came from an old school background, and opposed coeducation. This was his traditional side.  But on the other hand, he also had the common advantages of outstanding literati of that era: courage to serve, repaying kindness, being down-to-earth, hard-working, and upright.  Being upright and upright is the professional requirement of the police department; having nothing to do with the military circles, it has an inherent advantage in purifying the police force and cutting off the black hands that reach out to civil affairs; repaying kindness is what the Fengtian military and political group headed by Zhang Zuolin started out  Requirements that must be met at the beginning.  The external situation is changing, and internally there are constraints from strong neighbors. We do not seek power, but must first be loyal.  This person came to replace Tang Yulin in charge of the police, and no one had anything to say to him.

    But how could Zhang Zuolin use him?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Website address: www.hlnovel.com
