Chapter 225: Treating both the symptoms and the root causes, combining light and dark
The sound of torture and screams outside came from time to time, but Chen Wenqiang's face did not change. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After the lockdown of the county, all the ruffians and hooligans in the county were arrested, and he first screened and judged that those who were guilty of harboring bandits and harboring guns and possessing firearms did not talk nonsense, and dragged them down to torture and confess. They are all guilty bastards, Chen Wenqiang didn't bother to find out slowly, anyway, it was enough that he didn't wronged the good people.
As for making it so cruel and tragic, it was naturally Chen Wenqiang's intention to increase the deterrent effect.
It is a definite matter that counties should set up bureaus, townships should set up sub-bureaus, villages and towns should set up offices, and police officers should be stationed in local areas. However, the number cannot be too large, and whether the township regiment and the militia regiment as auxiliary forces are suitable depends on the instructors stationed in the township regiment and the cooperation of the local gentry.
Putting Xian Rui's title and Xian Rui on the spot to correct the law, copying and relocating people, is to make an example of a hundred. If the other inferior gentry have changed, Chen Wenqiang is also ready to let them go. The purge of the militia and the township regiment is also within the plan, suppressing the inferior gentry, supporting the righteous gentry, and then there is the training and rectification of the militia instructors, as the force for maintaining law and order in the township, the militia must shoulder its responsibilities in order to ensure the results of the township cleanup and maintain and stabilize order.
"Besides, the militia and township regiments are all composed of local personnel, and they are most familiar with local conditions, and if they can be strictly trained and rewarded and punished fairly, they will be an important force in maintaining public order." Chen Wenqiang paused, glanced at everyone, smiled faintly, and said, "Gentlemen, you have to make more efforts in running the group!" Keeping one party safe is also a good thing for oneself! ”
"What Master Chen said is reasonable, reinstating the township bureau, properly organizing group drills, and helping to keep watch, these have already been stipulated in the "Arrest and Theft Regulations", but they have not been completely implemented." Tao Shaozhong, the magistrate of the county, hurriedly echoed: "The accumulation of disadvantages has made it difficult to sustain the effect of clearing the township, and the bandits are blazing again." Therefore, we must actively do it in the future. Ladies and gentlemen. But you need to rely on a lot of help! ”
"There are bandits and inferior gentry who have appeared, and the Qingxiang has become a document, and it has really reached the point where it is impossible not to kill." Chen Wenqiang's voice was stern again, and Leng Sen's eyes looked at the squires present one by one, "It's really a good idea." Can the bandits flee far away, can the inferior gentry escape with the house and the property? The previous disposal was nothing more than a fine of money. In my opinion, unless you kill a river of blood, you can't stop this unhealthy trend. ”
The atmosphere became heavy, and under Chen Wenqiang's cold gaze, few squires dared to look at him, not that everyone was a thief.
"Of course-" Chen Wenqiang softened his tone and said, "Some people may be forced to be helpless, if they wake up and reform themselves, not only will the official not rush to kill them. There will be some rewards. ”
"Lord Chen is really kind-hearted and magnanimous!" An inhuman scream behind scared Tao Shaozhong, calmed down a little, and complimented Chen Wenqiang again.
Chen Wenqiang smiled, nodded at Tao Shaozhong, turned his head and continued: "Let's continue to talk about this militia and township regiment." The official feels that the first thing is to strictly control the recruitment, and give priority to those who are innocent, loyal and simple; The second issue is the issue of treatment, so that the members of the militia can have no worries. Only then can we be willing to work hard, and only then can we be serious. How dare you fight with bandits! It's not that hard to do. Here is the constitution drawn up by this official--" He handed the document to Chen Jiongming beside him, "Jing Cun, you read it to everyone, and then discuss it carefully." ”
Chen Jiongming took the document and cleared his throat. "If a member of the militia rents land for farming, the rent collected by the tenant shall not exceed 30%; The tenant is a gentleman, and he has some responsibility to maintain the township, and it is also a good deed to respond to the call and properly organize the group training; The tenant is not a gentleman. Excess land rent is borne by the Township Bureau......"
Normally, let the semi-full-time members of the militia have less pressure on their lives; In case of robbery, the township bureau will issue a large amount of pension; If you are injured or disabled at work, you should also have corresponding preferential care measures. In short, Chen Wenqiang wanted to arouse the enthusiasm of the members of the militia and try his best to dispel their worries and earnestly fulfill his responsibilities.
The amount of information is relatively large, and the planning is more detailed, but the fundamental point has not changed, that is, the need for gentry to raise funds and contribute.
After Chen Jiongming finished reading, he didn't react for a while, thinking about the gains and losses.
The corners of Chen Wenqiang's mouth twitched slightly, and he said lightly: "It is only a matter of three or five years to suppress the banditry, and at that time, the militia will naturally be disbanded, and the police will be responsible for public security." The Lord does not extort the bonus, all of which is offset by the confiscation and confiscation of the stolen property of the inferior gentry and robbers; The soldiers of the Qing Township have also been purged, and if there is any disturbance and looting, the law will be corrected on the spot. Can you calculate how much it will cost? Moreover, in the long run, the bandits are gone, the law and order is better, and the most benefited should be the gentry who are worth a lot of money, right? ”
"The regulations made by the adults are meticulous and thoughtful, and the small people are willing to contribute to the group." Lu Tianji, a gentry of the regiment, expressed his support, he was more upright, and he was rewarded for attacking bandits.
"Mr. Lu understands the righteousness and deserves to be commended." Chen Wenqiang nodded in praise, "The director of the county bureau of this militia group will be served by Mr. ”
"Thank you, sir."
Chen Wenqiang turned his gaze to several gentry in Longjiang Township, his eyes slowly revealed coldness, he slapped the table suddenly, stretched out his finger and pointed at it, and said loudly: "Come on, drag down Jian Peihe and Jian Mingyi, the inferior gentry of Longjiang Township." ”
Several policemen had been staring at everyone with fierce eyes, and at this time, they moved when they heard the order, pounced on Jian Peihe and Jian Mingyi, and dragged them behind.
"My lord, the small people are willing to contribute and help, and the small people are willing to turn themselves in......" With a wail and begging for mercy, the two inferior gentry were dragged down. A moment later, the screams of killing pigs rang out.
"Inferior gentleman, you should be killed." Chen Wenqiang let out a long breath lightly, and scolded angrily: "Now take money to buy your life, this official is still dirty!" Shameless for your face, what a cheap bone. ”
"Cheap, cheap bones." A gentry saw Chen Wenqiang's gaze move to him, and couldn't help but tremble and say a word.
"The matter of fundraising and organizing the group will be handed over to Committee member Chen." Chen Wenqiang stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Jiongming, and said: "This official thinks, if this matter is perfunctory and delayed, most of them will collude with the bandits, intending to sabotage the great plan of this lord to suppress the banditry." Well, most likely. What do you think, Commissioner Chen? ”
"Xia Guan thinks it makes sense." Chen Jiongming nodded in agreement.
"Then you continue to discuss, this official still has something to do." Chen Wenqiang got up and waved his hand, motioned for the gentry who stood up to sit down, arched his hand to the magistrate, turned around and walked out.
……………
In all dynasties, there have been cases of recruiting bandits. The means of using bandits to control bandits have also emerged one after another. To be precise, this should be called differentiation and disintegration.
Since Chen Wenqiang wants to deal with the problem in a comprehensive way and take a multi-pronged approach, he naturally has a set of methods for bribery and surrender in addition to the means of force.
or conceal eyeliner, or lure with official and money. On the one hand, the goal of the anti-bandit operation has become clearer, and on the other hand, it has also caused mutual suspicion and internal strife among the bandit gangs to break up.
And starting from the inferior gentry and local ruffians who sheltered the bandits, coupled with the relocation of the criminals' relatives, Chen Wenqiang can be regarded as grasping the key to it. First, it can seize the property and provide the necessary funds; secondly, it destroyed the foundation of the bandits' hiding in the village; The last point is to enable the township bureau and the militia to be controlled by the gentry, which is extremely beneficial to the aftermath of the clean-up and the consolidation of the results of the clean-up.
Turning the hall, Chen Wenqiang came to the courtyard behind. This is Xian Rui's house. It is now a temporary police headquarters. With a light cough, there was a noise in the room, and as soon as the door opened, Chen Wenqiang stepped in.
There were five people in the house, two of them were Longxingtang's cadres, and the other three were Chen Wenqiang's eyeliner who was recruited and bought. Jian Yaliang, the leader of the bandits; He Chunhai, Shunde County will be three masters; Lu Man. Famous ruffians.
"Your Excellency." The three guys bowed.
"Excuse me." Chen Wenqiang's tone was gentle and he waved his hand. Sit down on a chair and motionfor the three to sit down as well.
Glancing at the three people who were still a little apprehensive, Chen Wenqiang said slowly: "From now on, you are all people with official status, and what is the future, but you still have to rely on yourself." ”
"Yes. The villain will work hard to do a good job. He Chunhai took the lead in agreeing, and the other two hurriedly agreed.
Chen Wenqiang smiled, stretched out his fingers, and began to arrange them one by one, "Jian Yaliang." You go to the Armed Police Department first, starting with the squadron leader. There are more than 100 guns under your command, they are well equipped, and there is no big problem with combat effectiveness, how much merit you can make, and what official position you can get promoted, it depends on your own efforts. ”
"The villain understands." Jian Yaliang hurriedly bowed down, his sin was forgiven, his family property was saved, his relatives were not forcibly evicted and isolated, and he ate the official family meal, although there were still some small requirements, but he was basically satisfied.
"He Chunhai-" Chen Wenqiang stretched out his hand and continued: "Don't reveal your identity for the time being, I haven't thought about the specific work yet, I'll explain it later." ”
In fact, Chen Wenqiang didn't think about it, but he wanted to avoid Jian Yaliang and Lu Man, so that they didn't know too much. He Chunhai is the head of the Three Points Society, which is not only very helpful in Shunde, but his identity can also make him have something in common with the Three Points Association in other places, so that he can easily infiltrate undercover.
Finally, there is the somewhat obscene Lu Man, the so-called three religions and nine streams, each with its own usefulness, this kind of rat and dog thief, if used properly, the news will be extremely well-informed. Even the police in later generations have informants, and Chen Wenqiang will naturally set up a group of eyeliners for his police force.
"Don't reveal your identity." Chen Wenqiang said slowly while thinking: "I will designate someone to keep in touch with you, and you only need to tell him if there is any news." You also have to develop a lot of downlines, and the police department provides funds and uses money to buy information, so that you can collect more. As for you, you still have to pretend to be the way you used to be, just a little more convergent. ”
"My lord, when will the villain be able to ......" Lu Man wanted to put on the official uniform, and the five of them showed off their might, so he asked boldly.
"The bandits in Shunde and Panyu counties will be basically suppressed." Chen Wenqiang glanced at Lu Man and said, "Don't tell this official that you are not related to the 'Zhensan Street' in Panyu. If you can win him over, it's your first achievement. ”
Seeing Lu Man's bitter face, Chen Wenqiang smiled slightly and said, "If you can't win over, this official will also help you make a name for yourself in Panyu." Well, there is one more thing, the official has already protected the Xian family's girl named Cuihong, if you are interested, go and take her away, and the official will give you this face. ”
Lu Man was stunned for a moment, then he knelt on the ground from the chair and kowtowed to Chen Wenqiang, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, the villain is grateful to Dade, this life will be handed over to the adult." ”
"Get up!" Chen Wenqiang raised his head and scolded with a smile: "Do things well, what does this official want your life to do?" ”
This Cui Hong is Lu Man's cousin, and she was also engaged to a baby parent, and was later sold into the Xian family because of her poor family. The Xian family is rich and powerful, and they are colluded with bandits, where can Lu Man, a ruffian, ever fight. This time, Chen Wenqiang fulfilled him, and it was not surprising that he was desperate.
"If you have any worries, just say it." Chen Wenqiang turned to Jian Yaliang and He Chunhai, and said with a pleasant face: "If you are afraid of retaliation against your relatives, this official can arrange for them to go to Qiongzhou to live temporarily." The same is Qiongzhou, the place is very large, and the situation is very different from place to place. For example, the conditions in Yazhou are even better than in Guangzhou. When you do things for your own officials, you will naturally not be assigned to the desolate lands to cultivate the land unlike the criminals and their families. ”
"Thank you for your understanding." He Chunhai hesitated for a moment and said, "The villain has an old mother and three brothers and sisters, and please settle it properly." ”
Jian Yacheng thought for a while and said, "The villain's family also wants to ask the adults to settle down, and they will come back to live after the situation calms down." ”
Chen Wenqiang nodded, raised his eyebrows at his subordinates, "Give each of them a thousand yuan for moving expenses, and the free cost of not moving." Turning his head, he said again: "This official immediately wrote a letter to Lord Wu of Qiongya Soldier Beidao, asking him to send troops and ships to Guangzhou to pick up people and escort them, so you can rest assured." ”
The three of them hurriedly got up to thank them, Chen Wenqiang waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is open or dark, they are all people with official status, and they must be restrained in their actions in the future." If he does evil, this official will never spare him. ”
"As for He Chunhai and Lu Man, in order to disguise their identities, they can be appropriately relaxed, but they are never allowed to do anything that hurts nature and reason." After a pause, Chen Wenqiang's voice became stern.
"Understood, sir." The three looked at each other and bowed in agreement.
……………
When Chen Wenqiang returned to the hall again, Jian Peihe and Jian Mingyi, who were beaten and covered in injuries, had just been dragged away, and there were still blood stains on the ground.
"This official has always been jealous and hateful." Chen Wenqiang picked up the confession and looked at it casually, and said lightly: "But he is also honest and fair, does not kill indiscriminately, and does not wrongfully accuse the innocent." Seeing that these two inferior gentlemen have committed so many crimes, they are really innocent. ”
"Master Chen is right." Lu Tianji said angrily: "With this inferior gentleman, the township group is useless. The righteous gentry were afraid of retaliation, and they did not dare to come forward to do things. If the inferior gentry are not removed, the bandits will be uneven. ”
"In Longjiang Township alone, the government can list the names of more than 200 bandits, bandits are rampant, and they are originally inferior gentry who do evil, they really should be killed, they should be killed!" The magistrate was also a little shocked, for fear of affecting his official hat, and also joined the ranks of condemnation.
"Kill, kill!" A chorus of echo rang out.
