East, official signature. That is, Dongji Stone Factory, a privileged supervisory agency, secret service agency and secret police agency in China in the Ming Dynasty. In the 18th year of Yongle, Chengzu set up the East Factory, which was led by a trusted eunuch. Dong Chang is the earliest national spy intelligence agency established in the history of the world, with branches as far away as the Korean Peninsula. Located in Tiananmen Square, Dong's capital.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Royal Guards were juxtaposed with the East and West Factories, and their activities were strengthened. They are usually collectively referred to as factory guards. The power of the East Factory is above the Royal Guards, and it is only responsible to the emperor. Without the approval of the judicial organs, they can supervise and arrest their subjects at will, thus opening the end of the Ming dynasty eunuchs to the American government.
The factory was formally signed by the Ming Dynasty. That's Nishi Seiki Factory. In order to strengthen the spy rule, Ming Xianzong set up a West Factory outside the East Factory in the 13th year of Chenghua, and called it the Factory Guard together with the East Factory and the Royal Guards. Eunuch Wang Zhi was appointed as the magistrate, and his power exceeded that of Dongchang, and his activities ranged from the capital to the whole country. He was forced to quit after being opposed. Liu Jin, the eunuch of Wu Zongshi, was authoritarian, and Zheng Yu was reinstated in 1896. After Liu Jin was killed, it was abolished.
The West Factory only existed for a short time in the history of the Ming Dynasty. During the Chenghua period of Ming Xianzong, a mysterious case of a nocturnal fox happened in Beijing. There is also a demon, Li Zilong, who demagogues people at a side door and even frames many eunuchs with malicious intentions. Although Li Zilong and his henchmen were finally caught by the Royal Guards, Xian Zong felt the lack of investigation power.
So Wang Zhi, a clever eunuch beside him, was chosen and sent to the palace to find out the news. Wang Zhi seized this opportunity, followed the shadow everywhere, collected many so-called secret information, and reported it to Xianzong. Xianzong thought this information was very valuable. He was very satisfied with Wang Zhi's performance and asked him to continue.
A few months later, Xian Zong established a new imperial organization, the West Factory led by Wang Zhi. The west site is located in front of Jiling Palace, with the old ash factory as its headquarters. The officers of the West Factory are mainly selected from the guards, who then select their subordinates. In just a few months, the number of personnel in the west factory has expanded extremely, and its influence even exceeds that of the old east factory.
In a word, the rights of West Factory are greater than those of East Factory and Royal Guards. The West Factory can not only test the words and deeds of civil servants, but also detain and punish suspects, and can directly surpass the emperor and arrest ministers at will.
