Beijing suburbs.

The low brick-bottomed houses with earthen walls and half-tiled thatched roofs in the quiet little village, the transparent red sunset, and three silhouettes on the background of the sunset: a young woman wearing a blue-gray cotton coat, a child and a strong man. They are working in their home

Working in the fields, for Chinese farmers, it seems that their entire lives are bound to the land every day of the year.

The fallen leaves in winter were rustling by the river, the wind was causing waves on the water, and the little swallows were flying in the evening sky. An elderly fisherman was walking on the road filled with sunshine.

The long, lightweight fishing rod was raised.

Tranquility, tranquility, and quiet happiness, it seems that it will always be like this...

Suddenly, bursts of dust were raised on the dirt road, and the silence of the countryside was broken. Several black cars were driving along the rammed dirt road, and the children in the field ran excitedly after seeing the cars.

He chased the car with joy on his face, as if he wanted to race with the car.

A few minutes later, the convoy drove into a compound with a half-collapsed wall. At this time, a circle of barbed wire had been installed around the half-collapsed compound. For the nearby residents, this place was no stranger to them.

During the previous dynasty, it was one of the Eight Banners camps in Beijing. A week ago, more than a dozen large vehicles drove in. Hundreds of soldiers in black military uniforms jumped out of the large vehicles. Their leading officer then issued the "

"State Council Order", Zhengbai Banner Camp was taken back by the State Council.

More than a thousand households of bannermen in the banner camp were ordered to move out within one day, otherwise they would enforce the order. Facing these soldiers, many people took the initiative to move out, because it was not just the banner camp that asked them to move, but also the surrounding areas of the banner camp.

Tens of thousands of acres of farmland were also taken back. At first, some people tried to resist. However, those military policemen with armbands that read "Internal Affairs" on their sleeves answered their refusal mercilessly with the butts of their rifles, and then skillfully

and kicked everyone out.

Subsequently, the once scattered flag camp was transformed under the repair work of thousands of Liba. Weeds in the school yard in the center of the flag camp were eradicated, and the originally dirty and messy camp was renovated to look more elegant.

The appearance of the camp, then the flag camp government office was torn down, and a wooden house was built in the open space in front of the government office.

After simple repairs, nearly a thousand soldiers moved into the flag camp. At the same time, a modest door sign was hung at the entrance of the flag camp - "The First Corps of the Chinese Internal Affairs Forces". This is

The Ministry of Internal Affairs established an anti-bandit force to deal with banditry, under the direct jurisdiction of the State Council.

A force of a thousand men does not seem to attract much attention in Beijing. Especially since their military camp is set up in the suburbs more than 30 kilometers away from the capital. Perhaps it is because the distance is far enough that few people notice them.

Of course, except for the initial "camp grabbing", which caused some controversy in public opinion.

"...In other words, in order to establish the internal affairs force, the State Council had to give up the establishment of local tax police."

Li Zicheng's voice sounded particularly honest at this time.

"And this means that every year, the Ministry of Finance will lose more than 60 million yuan due to the failure to establish tax police, which is equivalent to a quarter of the current central fiscal revenue!"

At this point, Li Zicheng, who was sitting in this simple wooden office, sighed, tax police, it is extremely necessary to establish tax police in today's China. First, local provinces intercept taxes without authorization, and then follow

With the start of the rectification of the salt affairs and the crackdown on illegal salt, the Ministry of Finance was also required to establish a tax police force to ensure tax revenue.

"Although the sacrifice is huge, and I know that many people do not agree with giving up the tax police, it is extremely necessary to establish internal affairs forces to combat banditry across the country."….

Looking up at Xiao Xiao standing there, Li Zicheng said again.

"If there is no stable social security, then there will be no real development in China!"

After a moment of silence, Li Zicheng glanced at a "Distribution Map of Banditry in China" hanging on the wall. The map marked the severity of banditry in various places with colors. The most serious ones were red, those without banditry were white, and the most serious

Red appears in nine provinces, the next level is orange in eleven provinces, and the next level is blue... On the entire map of China, except for Jiangsu, which has no banditry, it can be said that the whole country is full of bandits.

"From the late Qing Dynasty to the present, beards have always been rampant among bandits in our country. Some local officials even had beards themselves. For example, Zhang Zuolin of Fengtian was also a bandit. When I was in Lianyungang, there was a secretary in my office

Secretary, his grandfather’s family owns 900 acres of land. Once he was driving his family’s cart to the county to sell grain. He had a traffic accident and was crushed to death by two carts full of grain. He was left with orphans and widows.

Three years later, all the ripe crops in the field were burned by Beard, and the family fell into decline. His father later became a Chinese medicine doctor, and he became my secretary!"

While telling a story he had heard, Li Zicheng pointed upward with his middle finger. He used this gesture to refer to invisible things. In fact, compared to this "story", he wanted to say "you" more.

Think about it, you and your wife are riding on a train, eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly you are robbed by bandits."

"In the past, those officials only thought about the power and wealth in their personal hands. Perhaps such social security was acceptable. In some places, they even regarded bandit suppression as a tool to make money."

Thinking about the scene in "Let the Bullets Fly" in which he suppressed bandits and made money, Li Zicheng's face became very ugly.

"So, the banditry in China has not been eliminated. We are now at the center. To realize the country's industrial development and make the country prosperous, such social security is impossible to accept. Zhongren, do you agree with me?"

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao answered mechanically. For him, his consciousness is very simple, that is, obeying orders. As for other things, he is not within the scope of his consideration. He was born in the city and does not have a deep understanding of banditry. Most of them have only heard about it.

, now, he only knows orders. Even if the Prime Minister needs him to suppress the bandits, then he should suppress the bandits.

"Now, many people are waiting to see the jokes of the State Council and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because from ancient times to the present, it seems that no one can quell the banditry, and the bandits are suppressing more and more. In their view, even if we are established

It’s also difficult for the internal affairs troops to eliminate banditry!”

At this point, the corners of Li Zicheng's lips raised slightly. His tone was also serious. Those people always looked at themselves from a traditional perspective. It seemed that for them, they couldn't solve things that others couldn't solve. Why did Yuan Shikai not agree in the end?

Establish the tax police yourself. The reason for agreeing to the establishment of the internal affairs force by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very simple. Set up the tax police. With the means of the Ministry of Finance. As long as it is implemented forcefully, just the salt tax can recover tens of millions of yuan in losses a year.

At that time, the tax police were responsible, but the internal affairs forces were different. The internal affairs forces needed to bear the task of suppressing bandits. If the Ministry of the Interior could not eliminate banditry, the Presidential Palace could mobilize Progressive Party members to criticize, attack, and even attack the State Council.

In the end, the internal affairs force was abolished on the grounds that it was ineffective in suppressing bandits. It seems that no one in China can really solve the bandit problem.

"Others use banditry to make money, so they cannot eliminate banditry. But in my opinion, as long as we serve the public and the people wholeheartedly, then we can eliminate banditry across the country!"

With a high-pitched tone, in the eyes of others, bandits are opportunities and opportunities to make money. In Li Zicheng's eyes, bandits are also opportunities, not only because they allow him to successfully own troops other than the Jiangsu Army, but they are also a person who can win people's hearts.

Opportunity, so Li Zicheng saw the opportunity, and the Secret Service took over the "plan" of the Security Department and made a plan to use bandits to achieve the goal. After the plan was completed, he organized the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the police to go into the mountains and spread across the country.

Large-scale suppression of bandits within a wide range. This can kill three birds with one stone. It not only has an armed force of its own, but also stabilizes society and wins people's hearts. This is necessary for the development of China's economy. Economic development requires that China must have

A good social security order….

"Now the whole of China is paying attention to the Lincheng carjacking case, and there is also a lot of diplomatic pressure. This is the first test that the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs to face after it is established!"

After a pause, Li Zicheng's voice became extremely serious.

"It is also an extremely important test. If it succeeds, it will pave the way for our next nationwide campaign to suppress bandits. If it fails..."

Looking directly at Xiao Xiao, Li Zicheng's voice lowered slightly.

"I'm afraid the Internal Affairs Corps will cease to exist!"

Li Zicheng said this as if the future of the Internal Affairs Force was really hanging on by a thread.

"One thing that can be expected is that once the internal affairs forces are unable to solve the Lincheng carjacking case, then in the future, the State Council will not only face diplomatic pressure, but also take into account attacks from others and pressure from public opinion.

At that time, some people will definitely push the situation and demand the disbandment of the internal affairs forces."

"Prime Minister, please rest assured that we will definitely solve the problem in Lincheng."

Xiao Xiao wisely chose a "wise" answer.

"You don't have confidence, do you?"

As he spoke, Li Zicheng laughed, and he could hear Xiao Xiao's answer carrying other meanings.

"Prime Minister, since it is a military operation, casualties are inevitable!"

Xiao Xiao analyzed bandit suppression from a soldier's logic.

"For example, the casualties of civilians and hostages are inevitable additional injuries in war."

"perhaps!"

Pointing his finger upward, Li Zicheng shook his head.

"However, in the eyes of many people, if too many civilians and hostages are killed or injured, then this matter will be extremely inappropriate. At that time, it will become an excuse for others to attack the internal affairs troops, and they will attack you regardless of civilians.

Life is a group of Qiuba who only know how to act recklessly. Don’t you think they won’t say that? No! They will definitely say that! And what they say is even more unpleasant than that!”

After thinking for a moment, Li Zicheng added another sentence.

"Appropriate casualties are acceptable, but disregarding the lives of hostages is extremely unrealistic and unacceptable?"

"Prime Minister, this is tantamount to tying up your feet to suppress bandits. It is precisely because the bandits have seized on this that they have developed into a problem."

"How do you say that?"

First nodding, then shaking his head, Li Zicheng also considered this issue.

"——What should I tell you? We value the lives of the people, but the bandits ignore the lives of the civilians. This is the difference between soldiers and bandits. Do you understand?"

When speaking, Li Zicheng's voice revealed an extremely helpless tone. In later terrorist activities, wasn't it the government's mentality that it was impossible to give up the lives of hostages that those terrorists took advantage of?

"Therefore, when the internal affairs troops perform their tasks, they must fully consider the safety of the hostages and civilians. Although this approach is very mechanical and not flexible enough, it is our only choice because we have no other choice."

Choice? Is there a choice?

"Actions that demonstrate justice are based on the importance we attach to life, to innocent lives, my comrade."

After saying this, Li Zicheng suddenly fell silent. The silence lasted for a long time, so he finished smoking all the cigarettes. Still didn't say another word...

"Briefly,"

From the Prime Minister's tone, Xiao Xiao could tell that this conversation was coming to an end.

"I think you can understand this. Of course, the more important point is that you can complete this task."

After the Prime Minister finished speaking, Xiao Xiao's eyes dimmed:

"Prime Minister, regarding the Lincheng carjacking case, I have some information that I would like to report to the Prime Minister..."

"good!"
