Chongzhen also agreed with this. It seems that it is impossible not to have an agency specifically responsible for intelligence and security. Such a specialized security agency is still needed.
Spy politics cannot be practiced at the national level.
But secret services are still needed.
Because in every country, there are always shadows that cannot be illuminated.
Huang Zongxi took the initiative to ask for help and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave it to our Supervision Department for a thorough investigation?"
"Who is responsible for your supervision department?" Chongzhen frowned and asked Huang Zongxi, "Your supervision department only has so many people in total, can it be busy?"
"Your Majesty, if we are short of manpower, we can recruit more."
Huang Zongxi said disapprovingly: "In two years' time, more than 10,000 students will graduate from the Imperial College. By then, will there be any need to worry about insufficient manpower?"
"Forget it, your Supervision Department already has enough things to do, I don't want to burden you any more."
After much thought, Chongzhen decided not to let the Supervision Section be responsible for counter-espionage and security work, not only because the two tasks were not closely related, but more importantly, the Supervision Section could not be allowed to dominate.
The Supervision Section itself has the power to supervise officials. It is one level above the official level. If they are given the power to counter espionage, intelligence and security work, wouldn't they become Jin Yiwei again?
Doesn't the abolition of factory guards mean the abolition of loneliness?
After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "Get Zhang Huangyan for me."
"I accept the decree." Seeing that Chongzhen refused to have the Supervision Bureau investigate the assassination case, Huang Zongxi didn't say much. He was upright, but he still had basic political sensitivity and knew that it was taboo to take power.
As soon as Huang Zongxi left, Ran Sanniang and Kang Xi also rushed to the Imperial Academy with Zhu Hechen.
Seeing that nothing happened to Chongzhen, Ran Sanniang was relieved. On the way here, Ran Sanniang actually cried all the way, thinking that if something happened to Chongzhen and she failed to give birth to a boy and a half, it would be over.
.
"Okay, don't cry, I'm fine." Chongzhen wiped away the tears on Ran Sanniang's face.
"Prince Princess, please stop crying." His eyes glanced at Kang Xi's slightly bulging belly. Chongzhen was also a little annoyed. The Crown Princess was pregnant with her second child, but there was no movement in Ran Sanniang's belly.
By this time, Chongzhen was basically sure that there was something wrong with his body.
Li Xiangjun had been silent for a year before, and he could console himself by saying that it was because she was born in a prostitute. However, Ran Sanniang had been following him for such a long time, and she had been plowing the fields for more than half a year, but in the end there was no movement.
This can only be his problem. Not surprisingly, this is the sequelae of Meishan.
It happened that Fu Shan had already treated Ba Hanzhen's wounds and came to say goodbye. Chongzhen said: "Fu Shan, don't leave in a hurry. I have been feeling a little unwell during this time. You can also take my pulse by the way."
"I accept the order." Fu Shan quickly put down the medicine box again and took Chongzhen's pulse.
Chongzhen then drove Zhu Cihong, Gao Qiqian, Ran Sanniang and others out.
Fu Shan took Chongzhen's pulse for a while and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is very healthy. There are no problems. You don't need to take supplements. You just need to maintain your current habits."
I have to say that Chongzhen’s current living habits are really healthy.
Get up early and go to bed early, and often train with Yiding.
Chongzhen did not shy away and said directly: "I'm talking about the heir."
"Oh, it turns out that Your Majesty is worried about this." Fu Shan laughed dumbly, "This is actually unnecessary. Although Concubine Li and Concubine Ran are not pregnant yet, I have already checked the pulse of the two empresses, and their bodies are also very healthy.
There is absolutely no problem with your health, and of course there is no problem with you, Your Majesty, after all, I have given birth to many princes and princesses."
After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty, just relax and let nature take its course. In a few years, Concubine Li, Concubine Ran or other concubines will naturally give birth to a prince or princess."
But Chongzhen was still worried: "Why don't you prescribe some medicine for me to recuperate?"
"Your Majesty, you really don't need it." Fu Shan said with a smile, "Your Majesty, your dragon body is stronger than that of an eighteen-year-old boy. There is no need to take medicine to recuperate. Taking medicine forcibly will be harmful. After all, it is three parts poisonous.
"
"Okay." Chongzhen said helplessly, "Then let nature take its course."
Seeing Fu Shan carrying the medicine box and leaving, Chongzhen asked again: "By the way, has the mortality rate of caesarean section dropped?"
"Oh, if His Majesty hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot." Fu Shan's face showed a look of joy, and he bowed his hands and said, "According to His Majesty's will, after the hospital wards and operating rooms were completely disinfected, the maternal mortality rate has indeed dropped.
Many, coupled with the use of Sanhuang Xiexin Decoction and other decoctions, at least in Nanjing hospitals there are very few maternal deaths."
Sanhuang Xiexin Decoction is an ancient prescription found by Fu Shan from "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" written by Zhang Zhongjing, which can reduce inflammation.
"This is great." Chongzhen said with great joy after hearing this. "Fu Shan, immediately formulate these experiences into written materials. In addition to teaching them to all the students in the medical school, the doctors accompanying the army should also organize learning."
"I accept the decree." Fu Shan naturally agreed with this move.
Watching Fu Shan leave, Chongzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the Ming Dynasty had not yet been unified so far, at least he had accomplished a great meritorious deed that would go down in history.
That is to advance the medical level of Ming Dynasty to a higher level.
Chongzhen has read the medical diaries of Fu Shan and Wu Youxing. According to the diaries of these two people, the infant mortality rate during the Chongzhen period was at least 30%, but now at least the infant mortality rate in Nanjing has been greatly reduced. According to what Fu Shan just said
Said that the infant mortality rate in Nanjing should have dropped to below 5%.
In another two years, when 2,000 students from the Ming Medical College graduate and disperse to various states and counties under the Ming Dynasty to build state or county hospitals, then the maternal and infant mortality rates in the entire Ming Dynasty will be greatly reduced.
Once it comes, it will undoubtedly give birth to the first wave of baby boom in the Ming Dynasty.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In his heart, Chongzhen actually always had a small goal.
That is to increase the population of Ming Dynasty to one billion before his death!
If Chongzhen remembers correctly, at the end of the seventeenth century, the total population of the world was only between 500 million and 600 million, and the total population of Europe at this time was only 80 million.
If the population of the Ming Dynasty could expand to one billion by the end of the 17th century, it would mean that out of three people in the world, two would be descendants of the Yan and Huang people, an absolute majority.
Then Chongzhen would be confident enough to seize the Far East, North and South America, Australia, Southeast Asia and even Black Africa. As for the greedy, barbaric and dirty Anglo-Saxons, let's be their pirates.
Inferior races like Ansa are not worthy of occupying rich lands.
By that time, two-thirds of the world's population will speak one language, write one script, advocate one culture, and occupy almost all the fertile land on the seven continents. This picture is really beautiful.
However, to achieve this goal, Chongzhen had to live for at least another fifty years.
Chongzhen's current age is 37 years old, and he will be 87 years old in another 50 years. It is definitely an advanced age for an emperor. This not only requires him to maintain a healthy and good living habit, but also ensures his personal safety.
For example, things like assassinations in the street must be as rare as possible in the future.
Therefore, it is actually very necessary to establish a secret service security bureau.
However, putting Zhang Huangyan in charge of this seems to be a bit of a rush.
However, as one of the Three Heroes of West Lake, Zhang Huangyan's ability should be beyond doubt.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Huangyan walked in and greeted Chongzhen: "I, Zhang Huangyan, kowtow to the Holy Spirit Jin An."
"Get back together." Chongzhen said with his hands raised, "Zhang Huangyan, are you satisfied with your work in the Supervision Department?"
"Back to the Holy Spirit, I'm doing well in the Supervision Department." Zhang Huangyan replied with a blank look on his face, "It's just that I inspected the place many times but didn't find any crimes. It's true that I have let down the Holy Grace."
"This shouldn't be a problem for your inspection department."
Chongzhen had some foresight of this phenomenon.
In any case, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was only established for a short period of time.
This period is the most dynamic stage of an organization.
In addition, Chongzhen gave all the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs generous economic benefits, so large-scale corruption would definitely not occur in a short period of time, and it would have to wait until ten or twenty years later.
After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "Do you want to change to a different place?"
"Everything is fine." Zhang Huangyan replied simply, "I will go wherever the Holy One asks me to go, and I will do whatever the Holy Majesty asks me to do. I can do it and have nothing to fear."
What he said really made Chongzhen feel comfortable.
"That's good." Chongzhen said happily, "From now on, you and the Secret Investigation Department are all in trouble."
"I accept the decree." Zhang Huangyan bowed his hands and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, what is the duty of this secret investigation department? Is it to detect enemy spies who have sneaked into the territory of our country, the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, one of the main responsibilities of the Secret Investigation Division is to track down and arrest enemy spies who have sneaked into the territory of the Ming Dynasty." Chongzhen nodded and said, "The other is to ensure the safety of the Ming Emperor, chief ministers and other leaders."
"I understand." Zhang Huangyan said solemnly, "In this case, please, Your Majesty, hand over the assassin who will attack you tonight to me."
Chongzhen nodded and said: "Not only will the assassin who assassinated him tonight be handed over to you, but the intelligence exchanges with Beijing and Xi'an will also be handed over to you in the future. But I have to warn you, if this kind of assassination happens again in the future, then
It's because of your Zhang Huangyan and the Secret Investigation Department's dereliction of duty. When the time comes, I will only ask you."
"This is natural." Zhang Huangyan responded simply.
After a short pause, he said again: "Your Majesty, I take my leave."
After saying that, Zhang Huangyan turned around and walked out, taking the assassin away with him.
Zhang Huangyan didn't even ask Chongzhen about the personnel of the secret investigation department, office space, etc.
But then again, there is really no need to ask Chongzhen for such a small matter. You can just go to Ma Mingluan directly, and Ma Mingluan can arrange everything for Zhang Huangyan.
