Section 75 Military Law
Seeing Mi Feng's dark face, Wufeng knew that there must be something wrong with him. Wufeng had completely handed over to Mi Feng for any matters involving military law, and even Ling Tianfang never interfered in military law affairs.
Before appointing Mi Feng as the military law director Wu Feng ordered Diao Su's security department to investigate Mi Feng. It should be said that Mi Feng can withstand scrutiny in all aspects, especially in his personal self-cultivation, which is rare in integrity and integrity. According to the investigation by the security department, Mi Feng's personal family property is only worth about 8,000 gold coins, including a mansion in Lu Long. The usual purchase of land and building houses by imperial officials in their hometown or in their place of office was not found on Mi Feng. This number of property is already quite rare among officials at the level of the security division in the mainland of the empire and officials at the level of the city guard. The family was a wife and a concubine, both of whom were from small families, and both sons and daughters were underage. There was no phenomenon that his wife and family used Mi Feng's power to be powerful.
These situations made Wufeng very admire him. Although Mifeng is impeccable in character, it does not mean that Mifeng is a perfect person. His overly square and old-fashioned personality makes him not suitable for positions like Chengshou, which is related to the development of the place. On the contrary, departments such as military judges or supervisory departments with heavy vertical control are more suitable for him. Therefore, Wufeng's general legal director was entrusted to him with this heavy responsibility.
However, this also brought a lot of trouble to Wufeng. Mi Feng did not start his career as a direct leader in Wufeng's army, but from Lu Long. His military merits and relationships with his colleagues were far inferior to those old brothers who followed Wufeng from the imperial capital or the northwest. When he was awarded the position of Director of Military Law of Mifeng, Wufeng was also questioned and dissuaded from all sides. Several old men who had been following Wufeng, including Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu, who also raised objections, but were all rejected by Wufeng.
Therefore, when the military law department enforces military law, it is inevitable to encounter difficulties and obstructions from all sides. However, with Wufeng's firm support, the military law department quickly opened up the situation. From soldiers drinking and causing trouble to officers lingering in Huajie and Liuxiang, from lower-level officers to middle and senior officers who borrow their power to buy land to buy houses and other violations of military discipline and regulations, Mi Feng and his subordinates faithfully performed their duties, and a few serious violations of military discipline were cleared out of the army, and a group of violations were violated.
Military rules were also dealt with. While the prestige of the Military Law Department and the military police team grew higher, the relationship between the military law department and military officials became increasingly tense. Later, there was an incident of division-level officers drinking and provoking the authority of the military law department, which had a great influence. Wufeng clearly expressed his attitude towards this matter, which made the military officials' arrogance suffocate. Afterwards, Wufeng also took this opportunity to take turns to conduct military law education on the division commanders and corps-level officers of the four major legions.
"Brother Mi, what wind has blown you?" Seeing that Mi Feng's face was not good, Wufeng smiled and joked, "Is anyone under my command in your hands? Don't worry, even though I am engaged in military law, I firmly support you."
"Sir, I'm not here to joke with you today, but that's the same thing. I hope that you will make up your mind and make a decision as soon as possible. This is a big deal, which is related to the overall image and military discipline of the Northwest Army. If you keep shirking responsibility and delaying, I'm worried that this will bring irreparable damage to our entire Northwest Army and the Northwest Government." Mi Feng was a little angry. He really couldn't understand why this boss just dragged on and refused to make a decision. This is not something shameful or involved in important interests. What is the boss who has always been smart?
"Well, this, yes, I have to think carefully about it. The military law management issues of the security forces are an important matter, and the situation you reported is indeed worthy of attention. However, the security forces have always been managed by local governments, and the military has never intervened. If they need to accept management, they may need to coordinate. In this way, I will discuss with Xiao Tang and the others first, and I will notify you immediately if there is a result." Wufeng scratched his head and finally made up his mind.
In fact, the problems reflected by Mi Fenglai are not particularly important. They are mainly the military law management rights of the security forces. As the investigation and supervision of the military law departments are increasing, the military discipline of the regular army in the northwest has been significantly improved. After receiving the military law education organized by Wufeng himself, the chief officers at the division level of several major corpses realized that the commander's requirements for the military discipline are becoming increasingly strict. Returning to their respective armies, they repeatedly urged their subordinate departments. The Northwest Army has fewer serious violations of military discipline, but as a result,
What came was the management of the security forces in local governments. The quality of these security forces was slightly inferior to that of regular army, and they were managed by local governments, and their binding nature was much weaker. The improvement of discipline in the Northwest regular army was even more distinct from the military discipline of these local security forces, which also made many officers and soldiers in regular army complain. They were both soldiers and under the jurisdiction of Lord Li. Why were they free and self-righteous? These remarks were quickly reflected in Mi Feng's ears.
For this reason, Mifeng also sent an investigation team to conduct a special investigation on the military discipline issues of local security forces and found that there were indeed many problems. Most of these local security forces were local people. Relying on their local relations and their special identities, they not only violated laws and regulations, but also had a great impact on combat effectiveness, which made Mifeng very angry. So he also made a proposition to include local security forces in military management at the Northwest Joint Staff Conference without hesitation. This suggestion sparked controversy at the Joint Staff Conference, 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 this force to be directly under the military management. This issue cannot be agreed upon at the Joint Staff Conference, so Mifeng directly came to Wufeng.
"Sir, you can't drag it down anymore. The performance of the security forces has directly affected the morale of soldiers from various departments of the Northwest regular army. Seeing these people letting go, how can we let the soldiers who perform conscientiously train and fight with peace of mind? Moreover, the black sheep in these security forces will also affect the impression of ordinary people and foreign merchants of our local government." Mi Feng knew that Wufeng had always paid attention to the views of the people and foreign industrial and commercial owners of the local government, so he deliberately raised the topic.
Wufeng also knew the disadvantages that the other party said, but he had a deeper consideration. Although Mifeng established authority in the army, he also established enemies in the army, especially Wufeng's promotion, who had no outstanding military achievements and had sufficient qualifications, was promoted completely by Wufeng. He was suddenly pushed to the position of a member of the Joint Staff Conference like the Military Law Director, which was almost parallel to the position of commanders of several major legions. Many people were not convinced. If he was asked to interfere in the affairs of the security forces that originally belonged to local jurisdiction at this time, it would inevitably touch the interests of many people. Wufeng was very worried whether he could cope with the pressure and obstruction from the military and local governments.
It was originally considered by Mi Feng, but Mi Feng seemed to not appreciate this affection. Instead, he kept entangled, making Wufeng unhappy.
"Okay, okay, Lord Mi, Director Mi, I will give you a clear answer in the shortest time." Wu Feng nodded with a smile and pushed Mi Feng out of the door, and sent someone to inform Molun to come here immediately before he returned to the study and took a breath.
The suggestion Mi Feng gave him was not alarmist. Wu Feng also knew that the security forces really needed to be vigorously rectified. Many of these guys took advantage of the distance between the military and the government to cleverly play the edge. In terms of business, they were responsible for the training department of the Joint Staff Headquarters, and were managed by local governments in administrative management and logistics support, which gave them the opportunity to do whatever they wanted in the cracks.
In the eyes of outsiders, this parent-official official at the foot of the Northwest Imperial City seemed to have a poor relationship with the Northwest Military and Political Governor. In addition to the frequent visits to the Qingyang City Guardian, the changes in senior officials of the Northwest Government did not seem to be his share. Even the alumni of the Imperial University who went to the Northwest University with him and later several Imperial University alumni have been promoted from other prefectures to the Northwest Government, but he is still wandering around Qingyang City. Even the people in the Jiedu Mansion know that every time Lord Molunmo came to the Jiedu Mansion, he would always be scolded first and then talk about the main affairs.
Now, the guards outside had heard the treacherous laughter of the city guard and the laughter of the governor from afar.
"Sir, what you said is wrong. The rule of law is not empty talk. Didn't you say that as long as it does not violate ethics and morality and does not harm the interests of ordinary people, you can be included in the scope of consideration? The public security under Qingyang City has always been good, and I have not seen any bad impact on Qingyang's public security? If you don't believe it, you can go down and visit and see what ordinary people have about our innovation." Molun shook his head and explained with a smile. The fat face always had a habitual lewd smile that only profiteering merchants had, which made Wufeng subconsciously alert.
