Seeing Mi Feng's livid face, Wu Feng knew that there must be some trouble. Wu Feng has completely handed over the responsibility of Mi Feng to all matters involving military law. Even Ling Tianfang never interferes in military law matters.
Before appointing Mifeng as the military legal director, Wu Feng ordered Diao Su's security department to investigate Mifeng. It should be said that Mifeng can withstand scrutiny in all aspects, especially in terms of personal self-cultivation, which is rare. He is honest and upright. According to the investigation of the security department, Mi Feng's personal property is only worth about 8,000 gold coins, which also includes a mansion in Lulong. Imperial officials are accustomed to purchase land and build houses in their hometown or place of duty. Mi Feng was not found on his body, and this amount of property was already quite rare among officials at the level of security division commanders and city guards in the interior of the empire. There was one wife and one concubine in the family, all of whom came from a legitimate family. The two sons and one daughter were all underage. There was no evidence that the wife's family took advantage of Mi Feng's power to act as a tyrant.
These circumstances made Wu Feng admire him very much. Although Mi Feng's personal character was impeccable, it did not mean that Mi Feng was a perfect person. His too square and old-fashioned character made him unsuitable for someone like Cheng Shou. Instead of serving in a position related to the development of a place, departments with relatively heavy vertical control of power, such as military judges or supervisory departments, were more suitable for him, so Wu Feng did not hesitate to hand over the important responsibility of General Legal Director to him.
However, this also caused a lot of trouble for Wu Feng. Mi Feng did not start from Wu Feng's direct lineage in the army, but came from Lulong. His military achievements and relationship with his colleagues were far inferior to those who followed Wu Feng from the imperial capital. Or those old brothers who started their careers in the northwest. When Wu Feng was awarded the position of military legal director, Wu Feng was also questioned and discouraged from all aspects, including Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxiu and other old people who had been following Wu Feng. They all agreed. Objections were raised, but were all rejected by Wu Feng.
Therefore, when the military law enforcement department is enforcing military law, it is inevitable to encounter difficulties and obstructions from all aspects. However, with Wu Feng's firm support, the military law department quickly opened up the situation. From soldiers drinking and causing trouble to officers lingering in flower streets and willow alleys, from low-level officers to rape It was estimated that mid-level and senior officers were going to investigate and deal with various violations of military discipline and military regulations, such as using their power to purchase land and houses. Mi Feng and his men faithfully performed their duties, and a few serious violators of military discipline were purged from the army. A number of violators of military regulations were also dealt with. As the prestige of the Military Justice Department and the Gendarmerie increased, the relationship between the Military Justice Department and key military officials became increasingly tense. Later, an influential alcoholism incident among division-level officers occurred. As well as causing trouble and provoking the authority of the military law department, Wu Feng clearly expressed his attitude towards this matter, which made the military officials' arrogance stifled. Afterwards, Wu Feng took this opportunity to specifically accuse the division commanders of the four major legions. Received military law education in turns with corps-level officers.
"Brother Mi, what kind of wind has brought you here again?" Seeing Mi Feng's bad expression, Wu Feng teased him with a smile, "Did one of my men commit a crime on your hands again? Don't worry, despite the military law I firmly support you if you do it.”
"Sir, I'm not here to joke with you today. It's still the same thing. I hope you can make up your mind and make a decision as soon as possible. This is a big matter, related to the overall image and military discipline of the Northwest Army. If you always do this I'm worried that this will cause irreparable damage to our entire Northwest military and the Northwest government." Mi Feng was a little angry. He really couldn't understand that Wu Feng could make a decision on his own for something like this. Why is this boss delaying making a decision? This is not a shameful matter or something involving important interests. What does the always shrewd boss have to worry about
"Well, this, yes, I have to think about it carefully. The issue of military law management of the garrison is an important matter, and the situation you reported does deserve attention. However, the garrison has always been under the management of the local government, and the military has never intervened. However, if you need to be managed, I'm afraid you need to coordinate. In this case, I will discuss it with Xiao Tang and the others and let you know the result as soon as possible." Wu Feng scratched his head and finally made up his mind.
In fact, the problem Mi Fenglai reported was not a particularly important matter. It was mainly about the military management authority of the garrison. Due to the increasing intensity of investigation and supervision by the military law department, the military discipline of the northwest regular army has been significantly improved, and several major After receiving the military law education organized by Wu Feng personally, the officers at the divisional level also realized that the commander-in-chief's requirements for military discipline were becoming increasingly strict. When they returned to their respective armies, they repeatedly issued orders to subordinate units. The Northwest Army repeatedly violated military discipline. There were many fewer incidents, but what followed was the issue of management of the garrison forces of local governments. The quality of these garrison forces is slightly inferior to that of the regular army. In addition, they are under the management of local governments and are much less restrictive. The improvement in discipline of the Northwest regular army is even more obvious when compared with the military discipline of these local garrison forces. It also makes many officers and soldiers in the regular army complain. They are also soldiers and are also under the jurisdiction of Mr. Li. Why? They can be free, but they have to behave themselves. These remarks quickly reached Mi Feng's ears.
To this end, Mifeng also sent a special investigation team to conduct a special investigation on the military discipline issues of the local security forces. It was found that there were indeed many problems. Most of these local security forces were locals. Relying on local connections and their own special identities, they not only violated the law There were many violations of discipline, and their combat effectiveness was also greatly affected, which made Mi Feng very angry. Therefore, he unceremoniously proposed at the Northwest Military Joint Chiefs of Staff the proposal to bring local security forces under military management. This proposal sparked controversy at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, because local security forces have always been included in the jurisdiction of local governments. , since the founding of the empire, there has never been a precedent for bringing this force under the direct control of the military. This issue could not reach a consensus at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, so Mi Feng went directly to Wu Feng.
"Sir, we can't delay it any longer. The performance of the garrison troops has directly affected the morale of the soldiers of the regular army in the northwest. Seeing these people letting things go, how can we allow the soldiers who have performed conscientiously to train and fight with peace of mind? Moreover, these garrison troops The black sheep will also affect the impression of ordinary people and foreign businessmen on our local government." Mi Feng knew that Wufeng always paid attention to the opinions of the people and foreign industrial and commercial owners on the local government, so he deliberately provoked the topic.
Wu Feng didn't know the disadvantages mentioned by the other party, but he had deeper considerations. Although Mifeng has established authority in the army, he has also established enemies in the military, especially someone like him who has neither great military exploits nor sufficient seniority. He was promoted by Wu Feng and was suddenly pushed away. Many people are not convinced that the Military Advocate General has reached the position of a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is almost parallel to the status of the commanders of several corps. If he is allowed to intervene in the affairs of the garrison forces that originally belong to local jurisdiction, it will inevitably The interests of many people will be affected, and Wu Feng is worried about whether he can cope with the pressure and obstruction from the military and local governments.
This was originally for Mi Feng, but Mi Feng didn't seem to appreciate it. Instead, he kept pestering her, which made Wu Feng extremely annoyed.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Mi, Director Mi, I will give you a clear answer as soon as possible." Wufeng nodded with a smile and pushed Mi Feng out of the door, and sent someone to notify Mo Lun to come to him immediately. After a visit, I returned to the study and took a breath.
The suggestions Mi Feng gave him were not alarmist. Wu Feng also knew that the security forces indeed needed to be vigorously rectified. Many of these guys took advantage of the distance between the military and the government and cleverly played a side game. In terms of business, they are under the responsibility of the Training Division of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but in terms of administrative management and logistics support, they are under the management of the local government. This gives them the opportunity to do whatever they want in the cracks.
In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between this official, who is equivalent to the father and mother at the foot of the Northwest Imperial City, and the Northwest military and political governor does not seem to be harmonious. In addition to the supervisory department's frequent visits to Qingyang City's governor's office, this change in the top officials of the Northwest government seems to have also Without him, even several Imperial University alumni who came to the northwest with him and those who came after him have been promoted from other houses to hold important positions in the northwest government, but he is still wandering around Qingyang City. Even the servants in Jiedushi's house knew that every time Mr. Morunmo came to Jiedushi's house, he would be scolded first and then talk about business.
No, the guards outside had already heard the evil laughter of the city guard and the laughter and curses of the Jiedushi Master from a distance.
"Sir, what you said is wrong. The saying "ruling the country by law" is not empty talk. Didn't you originally say that as long as it does not violate ethics and morals and does not harm the interests of ordinary people, everything can be included in the scope of consideration? The public security in my city of Qingyang has always been good, and I have never seen the gambling industry have any bad impact on the public security of Qingyang? If you don’t believe it, sir, you can go and visit and see what the ordinary people think of our initiative." Molun shook his head and explained with a smile, his fat face always showing the kind of smile that only profiteers can have, which made Wu Feng subconsciously alert.
"Really? Gambling industry? Is it really as clean and simple as you say? Why did I hear that it seems to be an underground casino? I heard that many people lost their lives because of it. Did I hear it wrong or did Diao Su and the others not investigate thoroughly enough? "Wufeng ignored the other party, glanced at the other party with a half-smile, and went straight back to his desk.
