After receiving the news provided by the intelligence department, Wang Sheng did not dare to be careless, and first found Zhang Zhengjie, the head of a regiment stationed in Jinan City, and asked him to strengthen the defense of the places outside the government and the house. Zhang Zhengjie also promised Wang Sheng that he would send a company of troops to each of these two places to garrison, and once a situation occurred, troops would be sent to support as soon as possible.

After getting Zhang Zhengjie's assurance, Wang Sheng was also greatly relieved, and the People's Army could still be trusted, so he ordered again, on the one hand, to ask the traverser not to go out for no reason, and if he needed to go out to do errands, he should be accompanied by the People's Army to protect him, and he must wear a gun, and when necessary, he can shoot to protect himself. On the other hand, Wang Sheng asked Jiang Feng to focus on the protection of the seven shops that had been registered.

Although there are not many registered shops, they have a strong symbolic significance, and if the Jinan government cannot ensure the safety of these shops, it will greatly damage the prestige of the Jinan government and the traversers.

Jiang Feng is the security captain of the Longxing Island passenger ro-ro ship, previously served in the armed police for 6 years, the rank of lieutenant when he was discharged, after the crossing, he was recruited by the army as a reserve member, participated in the attack on Tianjin, and later has been working in the public security system, responsible for the security of Tianjin. After the traversers captured Beijing, he was sent to Beijing to take charge of Beijing's security work, and he performed very well. After withdrawing from Beijing, he was sent to Jinan to serve as the director of the public security bureau.

With so much experience, Jiang Feng has accumulated a lot of experience in maintaining local law and order and forming grassroots public security forces, and this time he came with the largest number of personnel in the public security system, with a total of 10 traversers and more than 100 naturalized citizens, most of whom have police experience. On the other hand, among the officials in Jinan, the most officers are responsible for catching and arresting thieves, with a total of nearly 300 people. Therefore, the Public Security Bureau is also the department with the most abundant human resources.

Although Jiang Feng's mouth is very unreliable, he does have a very strong ability to do things, and after taking office, he immediately set up a public security police system in Jinan. The first is to let everyone change into police uniforms, instead of the official uniforms of the Qing court, and divide every eight people into a police team, with a principal and deputy squad leader, all of whom are naturalized people, and equipped with pistols, and the remaining 6 police officers are the original Jinan officers, each with only a short stick and a rattan card, as the most basic police force. The four squadrons form a squadron, with one principal and one deputy squadron leader and four squadron instructors, all of whom are naturalized citizens, and are equipped with pistols, which are responsible for teaching and training the actions of each squadron, and when necessary, can also support the actions of each squadron;

In this way, a squad of 8 people can be responsible for patrolling a block, and since the main and deputy squad leaders are equipped with pistols, they are sufficient to deal with general incidents, and if necessary, they can also be divided into two groups, with the main and deputy squad leaders leading three police officers. In the event of large-scale violence, blow the whistle to summon other nearby squads for support.

Now the Jinan Public Security Bureau has set up a total of three police brigades, and the city of Jinan is divided into two areas, eight districts, each team has its own responsibilities, patrols are assigned to their own jurisdiction, and there is always a brigade to rest and train in turn to deal with emergencies.

And after receiving Wang Sheng's order, Jiang Feng didn't dare to be careless, but fortunately, he had already reserved enough manpower, so he immediately arranged seven squads to patrol the streets where these seven merchants were located. And just this morning, there were people making trouble in two separate shops, and there were more than a dozen people in each wave, and they were all armed with clubs and weapons, apparently intending to smash them.

However, two nearby patrols immediately rushed to the scene to stop the troublemakers, and the troublemakers not only did not stop, but fought with the patrols, and because the number of both patrols was smaller than the troublemakers, they soon fell into a disadvantage. The chief and deputy captain of one of the patrols immediately drew their pistols and opened fire, killing two troublemakers and wounding one in succession. When the other troublemakers saw that the patrol was still carrying the smoking guy, they didn't dare to entangle any longer, and hurriedly fled immediately, but the injured one didn't run away and was caught by the patrol, and the patrol team also had 3 people injured.

On the other side, the situation was better, because the two nearby patrols rushed to the rescue, so that the patrol outnumbered the troublemakers at once, and the situation was immediately reversed, and the patrol not only dispersed the troublemakers, but also captured six of them, and basically did not hurt themselves. In both cases, the patrol team arrived at the scene in time, so the two shops did not suffer any damage. And after receiving the report from the patrol team, Jiang Feng did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to report to Wang Sheng.

After listening to Jiang Feng's speech, Wang Sheng said: "These patrol teams should be rewarded, and the injured personnel must also be treated well, as a model for our propaganda, and the two shops should also be appeased, telling them that the government will definitely protect them." ”

Jiang Feng said: "I have already arranged the reward treatment, but I have to pay from the finance office, you have to help with this matter, now Accountant Xu is still red-eyed when he sees me, and he will definitely not give me money." ”

Wang Sheng said: "I'll give you a note, go to the finance room to ask for money, this is a business matter, your conflict is a private matter, if you bring personal grievances to business, then the Jinan Municipal Government does not need such a person, but you go to the finance office, you still have to be honest and put your posture to the bottom." ”

Jiang Feng said: "I'm relieved to have your words, and every time I see Accountant Xu, I'm more honest than my grandson, how can this posture be bottomed." ”

Wang Sheng asked again: "Have the troublemakers interrogated them?"

Jiang Feng said: "I haven't had time to interrogate yet, but according to the people who used to be on an errand in Jinan, they are all from Anluotang." ”

Wang Sheng was stunned, he knew that An Luotang was the largest gang organization in Jinan Prefecture, and it was said that it was quite powerful, with more than 3,000 members, but the organizational structure of this kind of gang was generally very loose, so its core members were estimated to be less than 300 people.

Gang organization is one of the major characteristics of China's grassroots society in this era, although the structure of the gang organization is loose, but after all, there are sufficient manpower and extensive social relations, so almost all major events in modern China have gang participation, whether it is the Hunan Army, the Huai Army, the Beiyang New Army, the Boxer Rebellion, by which it was the later Xinhai Revolution, the gang organization has played an important role.

However, after all, the gang is a loose organization at the bottom of the society, not only does not have a clear program goal, but also the composition is very complex, so although the gang can be used to gather a large number of people in a short period of time, if the leader does not have the corresponding organization and execution ability, the danger caused is also very huge, in contrast, the leaders of the Hunan Army, the Huai Army, and the Beiyang New Army have strong organizational and executive capabilities, so they make full use of the gang and minimize the danger of the gang; while the Boxers have almost no organization, The ability to execute could only be scattered and the situation out of control; although the revolutionaries who led the Xinhai Revolution later had a certain degree of organization and execution ability, they were not strong there, and as a result, they could only give up the fruits of the revolution to Yuan Shikai, who had stronger organizational and execution capabilities.

The organization and execution ability of the traverser is undoubtedly the strongest in this era, and there is a big killer weapon of land reform, and there is no need to use the gang to organize and mobilize manpower, on the contrary, the gang is loose and the harmful nature of the complex composition is intolerable to the traverser, so in Jinan under the rule of the traverser, the gang organization is definitely going to be banned, but now Jinan's affairs are complicated, and they have not been taken care of for the time being. But Wang Sheng didn't expect that he would be involved with the gang organization so soon.

Of course, the participation of the gang also made the situation more complicated, but I don't know if this happened by accident or if An Luotang intended to be an enemy of the Jinan municipal government. Therefore, Wang Sheng thought for a while before saying: "Then hurry up and interrogate them, and we must find out whether their actions this time were instigated by someone, and who was instigating them." ”

Jiang Feng nodded and said: "But I've seen these boys, they are all hob meat, they don't eat soft and hard, they are all rotten, it's useless to tell them well, if you want to get the truth out of their mouths, you can't do it without punishment." ”

Wang Sheng said: "Use it when you need to be tortured, but you have to do it cleanly." "Wang Sheng is a pragmatic person, so he will not talk about human rights and other self-binding morality, and the top priority now is to learn more about the situation as soon as possible, and if these people who have been arrested do not give a truthful explanation, they must also use some unconventional means.

Jiang Feng said: "You can rest assured, there are a few in our public security bureau who are good at torture in the original yamen, and it is also a craft that has been passed down from the family for generations, I have asked them, and they all gave me a guarantee, saying that under their hands, there is no mouth that cannot be pried open, and this work is neat and neat, from the appearance, it is a decisive battle that cannot be seen to have been punished."

Wang Sheng looked at his watch, then looked at the documents he had to deal with, and said: "In this way, we will meet again at four o'clock in the afternoon, and I will call the people from the intelligence department and the military department as well, it is best to ask for a confession at that time, and we will discuss a plan for dealing with it together." ”

Jiang Feng also nodded and said, "Okay, it depends on whether these boys are bragging to me, then see you in the afternoon." ”

After Jiang Feng left, Wang Sheng hurriedly finished lunch, and simply wrote down the situation that Jiang Feng explained to him in small paragraphs, and asked Zhou Hui to hand it over to Duan Qian, who was in charge of intelligence, and the troops defending the palace, who handed it over to Zhang Zhengjie, the head of the first regiment.

After doing these things, Wang Sheng hurriedly read all the documents that needed to be handled by himself, and approved his own handling opinions on some documents, while some documents had to find another time to discuss, and then divided the documents approved by himself into departments and asked Zhou Hui to send them one by one.
