Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 193 Law and order and laws to follow

This winter, Anton is in full swing. While Li Fei is making progress, he also needs to focus on the rectification of law and order.

Before Li Fei came to Andong, the law and order in Andong could not be said to be too chaotic, but it was not so good either. After all, it was a place with almost the same population of ethnic minorities and Han people, plus it was a border area, and conflicts were inevitable from time to time.

When Lu Xin was in charge of Anton in the past, due to limited power and Lu Xin's personal understanding of thoughts, as long as it was not a major conflict, he basically ignored it.Therefore, Anton's law and order is generally controlled, and no major incidents will occur.

And what Li Fei wants is not just these, what he wants is a truly stable and prosperous Anton, if there are always security incidents happening, then there is no peace.

Because of the way to obtain war horses, Li Fei got a lot of war horses at once, and Li Fei formed another 3000 cavalry, and the number continued to increase.

Now not only is Anton full of 300 soldiers, Li Fei's personal army has also returned to the size of 8000 people. If the personal soldiers are included, Li Fei now has nearly [-] soldiers.

Of course, because steelmaking has just started, the making of Tang-style weapons and armor is not so fast yet. Many of the newly recruited soldiers don't even have weapons and armor, and the training can only focus on physical strength, endurance and teamwork.

The newly recruited soldiers have not yet formed combat effectiveness, but with the newly formed [-] cavalry, the deterrent force is no worse than before Li Fei came to Anton.

Riding a horse in the snow in winter is definitely not something to enjoy.

After riding for only half an hour, Li Fei felt that his face was about to be frozen hard by the cold wind.There is no way, even if you want to take a carriage, the snow on the ground does not allow the carriage to drive, so you can only ride a horse honestly.

Li Fei went this time to deal with a new public security case.

In a market in Goli Prefecture in the northeast, conflicts broke out between Bo Duo people, Mohe people, and Han people. A total of 26 people were killed and more than 60 people were injured on both sides.Even according to Lu Xin's standard, it was definitely a big security case, and in Li Fei's eyes, it was even more lawless.

In Anton, don’t think that only minorities are barbaric and tough. In fact, most of the Han people in Andong are also tough and barbaric. , This is the so-called 'sturdy folk customs'!
The law and order in Anton is not easy to manage, because the ethnic minorities and the Han people have "sturdy folk customs".

For Li Fei, it is definitely not easy to manage the security of such a complex and large area in Anton, but it is not impossible to say that it is difficult.

The method Li Fei said is the rule of law, there are laws to follow, there are laws to be followed, there is a strong force to ensure the implementation of the law, and to provide a fair and just platform for both parties in the conflict. Establish the rules, everyone lives under the rules, and there is a bottom line to follow and not to break through.

"Zhan Youwei, you bring a thousand cavalry, and bring all the people who participated in the conflict, especially the leaders!" Li Fei said to Zhan Youwei with a cold face.

When dealing with law and order in Chang'an City, Li Fei habitually asked Zhan Youwei to arrest people.

"Yes, Master Jiedushi." Zhan Youwei was very excited, he was naturally very proficient in doing what he was doing.

The parties to the conflict did not have the strength to withstand a thousand cavalry, and soon as many as 300 people were brought by Zhan Youwei, including seven leaders, three Han Chinese, two Mohe people, and one Bohai native. A uncle is aggressive.

It is no different from the public security cases handled by Lu Xin in the past. Either the ethnic minorities took the initiative to pick things up, or the Han people bullied the ethnic minorities by relying on their numbers.Unfortunately, this time it was the Han who provoked it first.After all, there are more than half of the Han people in Anton, and the number of Han people can still suppress the minorities.

To be honest, Li Fei didn't want to help minorities and deal with Han people. After all, he is also Han Chinese.However, security in Anton has been around for a long time. Without drastic governance, how can there be peace.

Furthermore, the Han people originally came from the fusion of many ethnic groups from Yan and Huang, and the Han people are more concerned about the identity of civilization.The so-called Mohe people, Bohai people, Bo Dou people, will they still exist in the future?It's not that they have integrated into China. As the current ruler of Anton, Li Fei only wants to do his best to make these Andong's ethnic minorities integrate into China earlier than in history.

If you prefer to help the Han people in everything, then it is the best way to talk about rectifying law and order, and talking about integration. Helping people and not helping relatives is the best way. According to the theory of Taoism, people who make sense will help, and those who have no reason will not help.

As long as he is not like Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, it was clearly caused by the Hu people under An Lushan's command, but he didn't even ask about the crude oil, he directly helped the Hu people under An Lushan's command, and punished Wu Sheng and other Han people. Lai Wusheng waited for the chilling of the entire Beijing camp.Li Fei thought, perhaps it was because what Tang Xuanzong did that chilled Jingying so much that after the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Jingying was so determined to persecute Tang Xuanzong together with Prince Li Heng.

After understanding the reason and process of the incident, Li Fei ordered the killer to behead the most unreasonable Han Chinese. The other leading participants were also punished according to the degree of unreasonableness.

In general, Li Fei has convinced almost everyone, even those who are not convinced can't say why to object, and they have to be convinced in the end.

Didn't you say that reason is everywhere in the world? Sometimes reason is a kind of momentum!Reasonable people are full of qi, while irrational people are weak in qi. This momentum is strong and weak, and irrational people can easily compromise.

Of course, there is also a lack of reason and a weak heart, but he insists on relying on force to resist. What Li Fei has to do is to provide absolute force backing for reasonable people, so that they will not be oppressed by force by unreasonable people. Let everyone Sit down and 'reason'.When everyone convinces others with reason, the radical bloodshed will naturally become less and less.

In such a large area as Anton, the public security cases are of course not limited to the one in Geli Prefecture, and it is impossible for Li Fei to handle every case in person.

After dealing with the incident in Geli Prefecture, Li Fei, after careful consideration, and after discussing with Lu Xin, Du Fu and others, ordered the prefectures and counties, county captains, state captains and other security forces in Andong to temporarily strip off the county magistrates and state officials on the grounds of rectifying public security. It is under the control of the state government order, but as a separate agency, it is in charge of arresting people who disturb the law and order. The county magistrate and state government order must not interfere in the arrest process.However, after the prisoner is arrested and returned, the county magistrate and the state government will still try and judge according to law.

Although Li Fei did not change his official rank, it only temporarily weakened the power of the county magistrate and state magistrate, which is almost equivalent to partially changing Anton's administrative system.

If it is in other ways in the Central Plains, even if Li Fei is a Jiedushi, he absolutely does not have such rights, but he is in Anton, which is different from other ways. If it is large, the rights given to the border guards such as Anxi and Andong are even greater.And Anton, because of the more than a hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Xi clan and the Khitan clan rebelled from time to time, so that Anton often lost contact with the Central Plains. In order to maintain the stability of Anton, the rights granted to Anton by the court gradually changed. In Lu Xin's time a few years ago, didn't the court even give him the right to forge weapons and armor by himself, but Anton couldn't make them himself at that time.

If it is really calculated, Anton has much more power than Anxi in the Western Region, and it is not much different from a small kingdom. The difference is that most of Anton's Jiedu envoys are directly appointed by the imperial court.

The reason why Li Fei did this is because some county magistrates and state magistrates are always timid in the face of conflicts, hesitant to order arrests, and the reaction speed is extremely slow, resulting in many public security cases always ending in nothing .

After the county lieutenant, state capital lieutenant and other law and order forces are temporarily separated, there is no need to wait for the order of the county magistrate and state government magistrate when a conflict breaks out.

The county magistrate, the state magistrate, and the county magistrate and state magistrate supervise each other.If something happened, it would be the dereliction of duty of the county lieutenant and state government lieutenant not to arrest the person. After the person is arrested, the county magistrate and state government order cannot evade, and a trial and judgment must be carried out.

In this way, the responsibilities are clear, and when something happens, the county magistrate, state magistrate, and county Weizhou magistrate can no longer shirk each other. Whoever is responsible is whose responsibility, and accountability is also clear.

In addition, with Zhan Youwei, Cao Chong, and Mao Youde as the main three, Li Fei formed a police inspection and law enforcement team composed of a thousand cavalry to patrol the states and counties, supervise and handle public security cases, in order to prevent corruption caused by some officials. , an unfair judgment resulting from collusion.

Rights need to be supervised, just like the inspection team of the later republic, the inspection team directly under the Governor's Mansion absolutely has an irreplaceable role.

Li Fei wasn't quite sure if there was anything wrong with what he did. It would take time to see if he could really bring security down in Anton. In short, Li Fei did his best.
