Chapter 43 The First Police Force

If you don't let the garrison be stationed, you won't be able to garrison the army, and won't the establishment of a police force be over?

People are ready-made, Wuwei Right Army, and there is a group of veterans who need to be placed, and that is his descendant army.

How to be a police officer, you can't just learn and train.

So he drew 3,000 veterans from the right army of Wuwei and invited Japanese instructors to be teachers. In this way, China, an ancient country, has its first police force.

China's first police station was also established in Tianjin, with two sub-bureaus in the north and south, each with 1,500 policemen.

The South Branch is in charge of the security of Tianjin City, and the branch office is in the west of Jintang Bridge.

The North Branch is responsible for the security of West Railway Station, Beitang, Tanggu, Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan and other places, and the branch office is in Jiajiakou, Hebei.

Three thousand police officers soon arrived at the designated place and began to patrol their duties.

Next, Yuan Shikai established a horse patrol team, a river patrol team, a detention center, a dispatch team, a military band, a wire patrol team, and a detective team directly under the Patrol Police Bureau.

The police system is getting better and better, and Yuan Shikai is also the first to establish a fire department in China.

In October 1902, Yuan Shikai transferred 2,000 veterans from Zhili to set up the Railway Patrol Police Bureau, which was responsible for the security tasks of the Jingshan Railway.

The bureau is located at Beijing Railway Station and is under the jurisdiction of Tianjin South Police Bureau.

In this way, China's first railway police force was also naturally pioneered by Yuan Shikai.

The specific tasks of the ordinary police are responsible for fire protection, household registration, sanitation, vehicle movement, order in cinemas and brothels, protection of border crossers, investigation of crimes, collection of intelligence, etc.

The presence of the police has played a very good role in maintaining social order, from the detection of homicide cases to the hygiene of small alleys.

In the past, no one was in charge of many things here, and I didn't know who to turn to when something happened. If you want to solve the problem, you can only find the government. In such a big place, there is just an official office, can it be managed?

Now it's different, there are people in charge of everything, and in Tianjin, where Governor Yuan Shikai was located, there is already a prototype of a modern state system.

In the same year that the railway police were established, Yuan Shikai also established the first police academy in Tianjin to train police officers and soldiers.

It may not always be convenient for men to manage women's affairs. The police in Tianjin also recruited a group of female patrol officers, and women began to leave the family and go out into society.

In 1905, Yuan Shikai led the petition for the constitution, and suggested sending people abroad for inspection, and the imperial court approved their suggestion and decided to send Zaize and other five ministers to study abroad.

When the five ministers were about to board the train at the Beijing railway station, Wu Yue, a revolutionary, threw a deception bullet, injuring more than a dozen people, forcing the five ministers to postpone their trip.

Yuan Shikai sent more than 200 police officers from Tianjin to Beijing to crack the case.

He took the opportunity to propose the establishment of a national patrol police department in Beijing, which was adopted by the imperial court.

The first governor was also recommended by Yuan Shikai. Zhao Yujun, the former Tianjin Patrol Police Bureau, served as the squire of the National Patrol Police Department, and the police system was promoted from Tianjin to the whole country.

Second, the creation of Chinese courts.

In order to more clearly regulate people's behavior, in 1902, Yuan Shikai, Liu Kunyi, and Zhang Zhidong jointly signed a petition calling for the revision and establishment of the law, and suggested that the West should be learned. It was also suggested that Shen Jiaben and Wu Tingfang should preside over the revision of the law.

By 1909, the Criminal Procedure Law, the Civil Procedure Law, and the Qing Criminal Law had been enacted.

In 1906, under the efforts of Yuan Shikai, the Qing Dynasty changed the Criminal Department to the Ministry of Justice, which was in charge of the judiciary. Dali Temple was changed to Dali Temple, which was in charge of trial. The Public Prosecutor's Office has also been set up, under the supervision of the Ministry of Justice, which is responsible for initiating public prosecutions.

Yuan Shikai was the first to try out a new system of law enforcement in Tianjin, and presided over the formulation of Tianjin's trial rules. In accordance with this rule, the separation of the judiciary and the executive was established for the first time, and an important step towards the independence of the judiciary was taken.

For the first time, the judge was given independent adjudication power under the law, stipulating that the superior had no right to interfere with the magistrate's decision.

It is also important to abolish the individual dictatorship and introduce a collegial system.

In addition to the Judges and Clerks, there are also Prosecutors. Establish pre-trial officers to implement a pre-trial system for major and complicated criminal cases.

In accordance with this rule of adjudication, a commissioner was appointed to serve the execution; Set up an inspector to be responsible for post-mortem verification and other affairs; Establish a judicial police officer to conduct searches, arrests, and enforcement of sentences and sentences.

What is particularly noteworthy is that this trial rule puts forward the principle of open trial and establishes a four-level three-trial system.

The lowest level is the Township Bureau, the second level is the local court, the third level is the high court, and the last level is the Dali Yuan, which is equivalent to the later Supreme Court.

The third instance is: the township bureau and the local trial hall are the first instance, the higher trial hall is the second instance, and the Dali court is the final judgment.

At the same time as improving the judicial and judicial system, Yuan Shikai also established an art study center in Tianjin, including a convict art study center and a homeless art study center. The former is for convicts serving sentences to learn a skill while serving their sentences, while the latter enables vagrants to learn the art of making a living.

In order to meet the demand for judicial professionals, Yuan Shikai opened a political and legal school, a detention school, and a judicial police school in Tianjin.

Third, a new type of conscription system was created.

Fighting against the Eight-Nation Alliance, Nie Shicheng's Wuwei Front Army was completely annihilated.

Rong Lu's Wuwei army was broken up and disintegrated.

Dong Fuxiang's military guard army escorted Cixi and his party to Xi'an and then disbanded.

Song Qing's Wuwei Left Army is also less than one left, and only Yuan Shikai's Wuwei Right Army is completely preserved.

Although in Shandong, Yuan Shikai increased the vanguard battalion of the Wuwei Right Army, and the number of people increased from 7,000 to nearly 20,000, but the defense of Zhili itself and the defense of Gyeonggi were not enough to rely on Yuan Shikai's people.

In addition, veterans were taken out to work as policemen, etc., and after Yuan Shikai became the governor of Zhili, he urgently needed to recruit new soldiers.

Yuan Shikai is a person who pays attention to rules.

In order to ensure the quality of the recruits, Yuan Shikai presided over the formulation of 11 articles and 8 articles on the recruitment and training of the new army on the basis of the recruitment regulations of the small station.

In this way, a new type of conscription system was also established under the leadership of Yuan Shikai.

The recruitment charter imposes strict restrictions on the conditions for recruits.

He is between twenty and twenty-five years old, more than four feet eight inches tall, can lift 100 catties, and can march 20 miles per hour.

Smoking a lot of cigarettes, being restless, committing crimes, having incomplete facial features, weak physique, and eye diseases are all excluded.

It depends not only on your own conditions, but also on your family background.

The conscripts are recommended by the government at all levels, and it is necessary to ensure that they are the fixed population of the locality, and to ascertain the residential address and the population and property of the family within three generations.

Unidentified persons such as homeless, vagrants, and routs must not be recommended.

There are clear regulations on the salaries of officers and soldiers according to their ranks, and the monthly salary of the leaders is five taels of silver, and the regular soldiers are paid four taels of silver.

The leader deducted one or two or five cents a month, and the regular soldiers deducted one tael a month, and these deducted taels of silver were sent to their homes every six months.

Yuan Shikai's earliest idea of handing over the soldiers' salaries directly to his family was finally realized here.

The magistrate is required to protect the families of the soldiers, and in the event of a lawsuit, the families of the soldiers are exempted from part of the errands.

This charter guarantees the quality of military resources, improves the social status of military personnel and their families, and reduces the economic burden of military families. It has effectively impacted the old concept that people have formed for many years that a good iron does not hit a nail and a good man should not be a soldier.

In addition, Yuan Shikai also did a more brilliant thing. Divide the army into standing troops, restocking troops, and reserve troops.

Standing soldiers are soldiers on active duty, and the time limit is three years, and they enjoy full pay.

At the end of the three-year period, he was discharged from the army and returned home to become a retained soldier, with a salary of one tael per month, and a collective training once a year, and the training period was one month.

The period of renewal, which is also three years, will be converted to a reserve after the expiration of the period.

The reservists are paid half a tael of silver per month, and they are trained once every two years. The term is four years, after which he becomes a civilian.

In the event of war, reserve soldiers and reserve soldiers can be requisitioned at any time.

A large number of recruits enlist in the army need to be trained, they need to be trained.

Under the vigorous promotion of Yuan Shikai, the Qing Dynasty established a training office.

Yuan Shikai is a veteran of military training, and everyone thinks he is the best choice.

But Yuan Shikai was particularly shrewd, he knew that the Manchu magnates were suspicious of the Han people, and he pushed Yixuan to the front desk. Train the troops.

Yixiao doesn't understand military affairs and doesn't want to take care of military training, and the main people in charge are Yuan Shikai's people.

The training department has a general promotion department, and there are military orders department, military administration department, and military science department.

The chief envoy is Xu Shichang, the chief envoy of the Military Orders Department is Duan Qirui, the chief envoy of the Military and Political Department is Liu Yongqing, and the chief envoy of the Military Science Department is Wang Shizhen. The deputy envoys were also Feng Guozhang, Lu Jianzhang and others.

In other words, they are all the veterans of Yuan Shikai's small station training, and the military power of the training department is actually firmly in the hands of Yuan Shikai.
