Chapter 29: Troubled Times
As soon as the two discussed, Zhang Liangqing said: We can screen the militia regiment that has been set up by the people, select capable soldiers from them, and then send them to the provincial capital for retraining, and then we will use this elite army to protect the safety of the provincial capital in the future!
Fan Li added: This method is good, but these selected people, in addition to daily training, we also have to do some actual combat in ordinary times, otherwise the training effect is too slow. You see, in addition to the rebels, there are many unknown bandits here, and they are also taking advantage of the fire to rob and make trouble everywhere, so we can use them as actual combat targets, and we encourage these soldiers to catch these undesirable elements in society outside of training! In this way, training and actual combat cooperate with each other, and the two can be eliminated without delay, and these chaotic people in the provincial capital can be eliminated, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, do you think it will work?
The reason why Fan Li wants to say this is actually to figure out his own organization, when others ask you what are you doing? Fan Li can say: Look, I'm not engaged in public security work in the provincial capital!
So after Zhang Liangqing agreed, Fan Li opened a small yamen of his own next to the governor's yamen, called: Huzhou Trial Bureau! In order to be independent of the departments outside the various organs in Huzhou Province, he has to be given a little right to handle cases, like a place where the public procuratorate and law are integrated!
Then Fan Li made a statement to the court, and said: I, if I want to do it, I have to do something big, I can't just defend our provincial capital, just suppress the banditry, I hope the emperor can give me a permission, I will make a big army here, and I will build a new army. My idea is: I want to recruit fewer people first, not to fill the number indiscriminately, and then I train them well, I let these people take one as ten, and then use these people as the backbone, train them as instructors, and then I recruit and train again, so that I will bring out ten people, and each of these ten people will bring out ten, so that there will be a hundred, and this hundred will continue to bring out ten more people, so that there will be a thousand people, and if this continues, I will soon be able to train a large army that can fight! In that case, we can rely on them to put down the rebellion. Your Majesty, do you think this method of mine is good? Okay?
Soon, the emperor made an approval, called: Handle it carefully!
After getting this holy decree, Fan Liang was relieved, and then he went around with great fanfare to select people, recruit people and prepare funds, and then asked Zhang Liangqing for a place!
Next, Fan Li is ready to do a big job, but how to practice? Am I going to train these recruited people first? Or do you think of them as police officers first?
Fan Li thinks that the problem is still relatively comprehensive, he wants to grasp it with both hands, and both hands must be hard! How? On the one hand, we should strictly train and rectify discipline. On the other hand, you soldiers, don't stay in the dormitory to play cards and eat melon seeds when you have nothing to do, go out for me to wander around, if you encounter undesirable social phenomena when you are strolling, you will be brave enough to fight for me, and arrest me, once you catch the bandits, if I sit down, I will be rewarded with five taels of silver!
What is the concept of five taels of silver? Didn't I say earlier that Fan Liang borrowed 1,400 taels of silver, and he could buy 40,000 catties of pork, if this is really converted, five taels of silver is close to our 5,000 yuan! (Of course, the standard of living in the era of Fan Liang may be 5,000 yuan in our sixties and seventies, which is really a lot!) )
Grab a 5000 buck! These GIs used to be peasants in the countryside who did not have enough to eat, and they had not eaten meat several times a year. Now you only need to catch one bandit for 5,000 yuan, so what if I catch 10? Isn't it 50,000 to get it, and get rich! When did migrant workers make money so easily?
So think about it, what weight is these five taels of silver? As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, how have these migrant workers ever seen this, when they train every day, they don't think about training, they think about catching bandits.
As soon as the training was over, everyone swarmed around the city to see if there were unscrupulous elements and bandits, and I caught them and received the reward.
Fan Liang didn't break his promise, if you catch one, I will give you five taels of silver on the spot, two will give you ten pieces of silver, and so on. So when someone received the reward, everyone could only blush in a hurry: Why didn't you let me touch it and get caught?
But after two days of arrest, all the good ones were caught, and I really couldn't catch the bad ones because I didn't have the ability. As a result, a virtuous circle was formed in the team: I had to practice my skills before I could catch them. But after catching this, I want to catch the next one, and the skills have to be bigger to catch them, so I have to continue to practice the skills!
In this way, these peasant workers even did training and public security work, and they did not fall behind at all! On the contrary, Fan Liang has to talk about it.
Let's just say that how did these arrested bandits and unscrupulous elements deal with Fan Li? At that time, Fan Li chose to be heavy and ruthless! Once you are caught, it is one word: kill! Behead! Kill them all!
Of course, there will be a lot of people here to intercede, originally there is not much place in Huzhou City, how can you stand up to you every day, a few a day, there are always some people who know each other or have a wide range of relationships among the people who are arrested, and there are always people who come to intercede!
But Fan Li doesn't pay attention to anyone, I don't care who you love to intercede, anyway, as long as you commit it in my hands, I will kill you. As the so-called troubled times use heavy codes, I can't talk about kindness, I can't talk about feelings, I have to deal with it strictly and quickly! I'm not afraid you'll curse me, I don't care! I just want to make an example of others!
At the beginning, these people who were arrested and convicted of crimes were all killed by Fan Liang with ruthless means, but after killing, he felt that killing alone was not enough, and it was not a big deterrent to ordinary people and criminals.
Therefore, Fan Li wanted to kill these criminals at the same time, but also give these restless people an impressive warning to achieve the purpose of deterrence!
How? That is to show the bloody murder case to the common people. So Fan Li found someone to make ten wooden cages, and named them: Standing Cage! (Please add WeChat ID: SKSM44)
This vertical cage specially holds the prisoner on the inside, and then uses a wooden clip to fix you in the neck, lifting your whole person, leaving only the toes of your toes to touch a little below, so that you can't suffocate, but it makes you unable to move, and the whole person is very uncomfortable! The whole person is like bacon jerky standing there!
