The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 99
Zhu Cihong still had some opinions on Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. As the eyes and ears of the emperor, Jinyiwei was too cumbersome and high-profile.

There are even some priorities.

In his view, Jinyiwei should be specialized in intelligence collection and analysis.

Instead of wearing a flying fish suit and holding a Xiuchun knife, showing off his power all day long, making people hate ghosts.

So he plans to carry out a major reform of Jinyiwei, making it a professional intelligence department.

"Li Aiqing, from now on Jinyiwei will be low-key, mysterious, and professional, and the main focus of work will be to collect information from three aspects.

One is the military situation, from now on I want to grasp every move of the various armies of the Ming Dynasty.

The second is the people's situation, I will always know the situation of all states and counties in Daming from now on, and the third is the enemy's situation, I will also know the situation of all ethnic groups and countries around Daming like the palm of my hand!

Branches must be set up everywhere, and in addition to regular members, a large number of non-staff personnel must also be developed! "

As Zhu Cihong spoke, he handed a manual to Li Ruolian, which contained his plans and assumptions for Jinyiwei, as well as things to pay attention to.

The first is the headquarters of Jinyiwei. There are nine divisions in total, namely the internal litigation department, the investigation department, the finance department, the military intelligence department, the civil intelligence department, the enemy intelligence department, the archives department, the operation department, and the communications department.

The internal lawsuit is mainly responsible for personnel promotion, personnel training, and the development of peripheral personnel, etc. The investigation department is responsible for internal corruption investigations, and the finance department is responsible for financial management.

The Army, Civilian, and Enemy Divisions are responsible for the summary and analysis of the three intelligences. The Archives Division is responsible for archiving management. The Communications Division is responsible for transmitting intelligence and establishing a fast communication network. The Operations Division is responsible for performing special tasks.

There is one commander, two acquaintances, and one commander for each division.

All provinces, armies, and surrounding countries and ethnic groups must set up a branch, with one member per thousand households and a number of official members.

Each state capital must set up an office with one hundred households and a minimum of five official members.

The counties only need to develop three to five peripheral personnel, who are granted the status of Jinyiwei General Banner or Small Banner. There is no salary at ordinary times, and there is a bonus when it is used.

These non-staff personnel must report the general situation of their county once a month, and report immediately when major events occur, and receive bonuses depending on the importance of the content.

Over the past 200 years, Jinyiwei has grown to a scale of hundreds of thousands of non-staff personnel like this. They are all inherited from their fathers and can be hereditary, but it is a pity that they were all cut off by Chongzhen.

Although there is an archive, the contact channel has been broken, and it will not be overnight to restore it.

So Zhu Cihong plans to develop again, anyway, as long as there is only one brand, some people are willing to do it.

After all, the Son of Heaven is pro-army after all, so he is very attractive to those shopkeepers, servants and bustards.

After reading the brochure, Li Ruolian was also shocked. He found that he was not suitable to be the commander of Jinyiwei, and it would be more suitable for his Majesty to come down to do it.

"How about Li Aiqing? Is there anything to add?"

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, and I am very impressed by it. However, if it is perfected according to His Majesty's request, it may not be possible in a short period of time. Moreover, each county has to report the people's situation once a month, and the cost may be huge."

Li Ruolian quickly replied.

"From now on, I will allocate 200 million taels to Jinyiwei every year. If it is not enough, you can apply again, and the salary will be calculated separately.

But I only have one requirement, that is, within three years, the framework and intelligence network of Jinyiwei must be built, and fully completed within five years. "

Zhu Cihong stared at him with burning eyes.

As long as Jin Yiwei completes according to his plan, he, the emperor, will never be able to hide his every move in and around Daming from now on.

"I must do my best." Li Ruolian replied solemnly. Although Jinyiwei has a profound background, but after so many years of turmoil, he dare not guarantee it.

"Ok!"

Zhu Cihong nodded, and ordered Fan Xian to be called over, while Li Ruolian stepped aside.

"Fan Xian, Jin Yiwei will no longer be in charge of investigating and handling cases in the future, and the relevant personnel and prisons will be handed over to Dongchang. This is my future development and request for Dongchang. Please take a look..."

As Zhu Cihong said, he also took out a booklet and handed it to him.

Fan Xian happily accepted it.

It was so dark that Dongchang finally had no competitors in the future.

Holding the booklet, the more I read it, the more frightened I became, and the more I read it, the more joyful I became, to the point where I was trembling with excitement.

"Don't be too happy, as the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. I only have three requirements for the sons and eunuchs of Dongchang.

That is, it is not allowed to make friends with local officials, not to collect a penny of filial piety from local officials and gentry, let alone blackmail, and anyone who violates it will be executed immediately! "

"Also, without my order, you are not allowed to handle cases and arrest people without authorization. Except for case handling time and when you are in the Yamen, you are not allowed to wear official uniforms when you go out, and you are not allowed to reveal your identity to outsiders."

Zhu Cihong said with a stern face.

Dongchang will be a big killer for him to deter and supervise civil servants everywhere in the future.

Because he intends to build Dongchang into an authority like the former century law supervision committee.

Every province must set up a branch factory, and every state capital must set up an office. Unlike Jinyiwei's low-key, the East Factory's branch factories and offices must be listed, and Fanzi must wear flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives.

There is no way, if Dongchang is not sent to various places for supervision, whether his two imperial edicts of tax exemption and labor service will be implemented in various places, I am afraid only the ghosts know.

However, if the eunuchs and fanzi in Dongchang do not impose restrictions, they may cause more harm to the place than those civil servants, and it will backfire in the end.

Therefore, the Dongchang branches in various places do not accept reports from the people for the time being, and they cannot take the initiative to handle cases. They usually stay in the yamen to scare those officials.

Jin Yiwei reported the situation in each county, and then he personally selected some counties and counties where the situation was serious, and asked the Dongchang where he was located to investigate and arrest the people, and then escorted them to the Dali Temple in the capital for sentencing and notified the whole country.

In this way, officials from all over the country dare not be unscrupulous anymore.

In the future, Dongchang will mainly target civil officials and officials, supervise the implementation of central policies, and investigate officials' corruption.

In the future, we will also accept reports from common people and merchants.

Of course, this can only be realized after he retrains a group of professional scholars to replace the eunuchs and fans of the East Factory.

He plans to recruit some young children every year, as in the martial arts hall, and start education and training from an early age. In the future, he will be a professional royal anti-corruption officer or sent to various places as a professional judge.

The salaries of these people are directly distributed by the royal family, and they are not allowed to take the imperial examination, but they also belong to high-ranking officials.

Otherwise, it would be a joke to rely solely on those so-called censors to supervise civil servants, and Zhu Cihong would not even recruit talents into Dongchang.

He wants to completely distinguish and oppose the scholars he cultivated with traditional literati.

Then Zhu Cihong called Cao Huachun over again.

Looking at the three people with burning eyes, he said: "I have restored the West Factory, and the main function of the West Factory is to supervise Jinyiwei, East Factory and Yuma Supervisor.

It can be said that apart from the three of you, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Yumajian, anyone may be a spy of the West Factory, and anyone who commits corruption or perverts the law may be reported to me at any time.

And once it is found out, even if only a tael of silver was embezzled, no matter how big or small the official position is, he will be executed immediately! "

Zhu Cihong decided to take high-pressure deterrence.

Sure enough, the three of them felt their scalps tingle and their backs felt chilly. They had no doubts about His Majesty's words. They had killed more than 3000 knives for the song, not to mention some eunuchs.
