Chapter 1144: Eight Hundred Miles Expedited
It's just that the horse flew away, and the scolding couldn't be heard at all, so it couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
The horses galloped all the way, and saw that outside the imperial city, a few brocade guards who had just handed over errands, rubbed their sleepy eyes, and walked on the official road with a sway, because it was early in the morning, and the street also saw the businessmen who got up early, which seemed very spacious, at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came, and Ma Shun, the leader, rubbed his sleepy eyes curiously, glanced at it, and did not see the figure, and muttered in his heart: "Damn, hell, I obviously heard the sound of horses' hooves, why didn't I see people?"
As soon as the voice fell, I saw three figures vaguely appear in front of me, and ran over with the gallop, Ma Shun didn't have time to dodge, and was about to collide, the three war horses did not have the slightest intention of stopping, Ma Shun was surprised, in this capital, there were such horseback riders, startled, finally he was nimble, jumped and avoided the impact of the horses. “
I was just about to scold, but I looked at it in a haze, and it was slightly flustered, and in the thin fog, the three war horses clearly wrote the word "Yi", which was very conspicuous.
"It's a horse from the post station, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant in Beijing?" Ma Shun muttered.
"My lord, why are these horses in such a hurry, will they die if they eat a little?" another brocade guard scolded angrily.
"What do you know, didn't you see that they were eight hundred miles urgent?" Ma Shun glared at the brocade guard.
The brocade guard was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "Eight hundred miles is urgent, no wonder you rush so much?"
The so-called 800 miles expedited is a first-class urgency, different levels of horses are also different, in which do not change horses, every time to a station to change, people's food and drink are all on the horse, when the level reaches 800 miles, it is basically the result of running a dead horse, often after the message is delivered to the destination, if the messenger itself is in poor health, it will also die because of overwork. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary (the most of them are border emergencies and large-scale mass rebellions), they will not use 800 li to expedite the delivery of letters. If it is used, it must be the most important thing, although Ma Shun is a petty official, but after all, he is mixed up in the capital, and he still has knowledge, so he immediately scolded the brocade guard beside him, so as not to cause a disaster.
"Big brother, what do you say is the matter?" Jin Yiwei asked just now as he looked at Ma Shun.
Ma Shun glanced at the place where the three war horses gradually disappeared, and said angrily: "You ask me, how do I know?"
Several 800-mile expedited war horses directly entered the palace, and the first three people reined in the reins of their horses and muttered, and then divided into three directions, the first direction went directly to the direction of the palace, the second went to the military headquarters, and the third went to the governor's mansion of the five armies.
In the temple, Zhu Zhanji was discussing with Yang Shiqi the recent atonement rule, which began in the pre-Qin period. In the previous dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, it was generally applied to those who should be "discussed", "invited", and "commuted" in accordance with the law, as well as the elderly, children, sick, and negligent criminals.
After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, this system changed slightly compared with the previous dynasty, and the main rules of atonement were two types: the rule of law and the rule of redemption.
There is a difference between these two, and the redemption is the abbreviation of "redemption", that is, the atonement of sins in accordance with the provisions of the relevant provisions of the "Daming Law". The main provisions of the law of redemption are: civil and military officials who commit public crimes and should be flogged, and the sin shall be atonemented with money; those who commit private crimes by military officers shall be redeemed in the vicinity; those who are over 70 years old and under 15 years old and under the age of 15 and those who are invalid and sick shall be redeemed for their crimes; women and astronomical students who have completed their habits and are able to specialize in their work shall be given 100 rods each, and the remaining sins shall be redeemed; those who have committed the crime of flogging shall be redeemed with 100 rods and the remaining sins shall be redeemed and their relatives shall be kept and supported; those who commit manslaughter and wounding shall be redeemed according to the law; and those who are told that there are some discrepancies in the above two cases shall be redeemed. Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the law, but also considers that "the law is quite strict", based on the dual purpose of "the law is too heavy" and increasing the national revenue, "since the middle age of Hongwu has been ordered three times, redemption and miscellaneous crimes are below."
In the thirtieth year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu promulgated the "Atonement Case": "All internal and external officials who commit flogging and rods have demerits, and those who wander and migrate will be redeemed with money." In the same year, the preface of the "Da Ming Law" was promulgated: "Miscellaneous capital crimes and punishments such as imprisonment, exile, migration, flogging, and rod shall be determined in accordance with the "Atonement Regulations". In this way, since the Hongwu Dynasty, in addition to the legal redemption, the atonement system has also been formed. Circumstance, which is the abbreviation of "circumstance", that is, the atonement of sins in accordance with the terms of atonement stipulated in various ordinances. The way of atonement in the Ming Dynasty was, one is to atone for sins with servitude, and the other is to atone for sins with things. Forced service refers to the convict's provision of labor to the state free of charge, and the labor of farming, grain, ash, bricks, water, charcoal, workmanship, stationing, whistle, hair, salt and iron, etc., is borne by the convict to atone for his sins. Redemption in rem means that the offender pays a certain amount of property to the state free of charge to atone for his sins, and his property can be in kind or in money.
The difference between legal redemption and regular redemption is: first, the scope of application of legal redemption is the specific object confirmed by the legal code, and the regular redemption is applicable to all criminals except those who have committed a capital crime; second, "legal redemption" is the atonement of residual sins, and "routine redemption" is the atonement of all sins; third, legal redemption has a long-term stability, and the redemption of the law is subject to frequent changes due to expediency and time.
However, due to the fact that the "Da Ming Law" was decreed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the law of redemption cannot be changed, and there are fewer objects of redemption, so since Yongle, the legislation of atonement is mainly to formulate the precedent of ransom, and the expansion of the scope of atonement is mainly reflected in the precedent of ransom, and the operation of atonement in judicial practice is also mainly carried out according to the precedent of ransom. Therefore, in the current Ming Dynasty rules of atonement, most of them are based on the rules of redemption, and there are few rules of legal redemption.
This time, in order to lick some income for the household, Zhu Zhanji discussed with Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others, and set an example of nano atonement for officials, soldiers and civilians: miscellaneous offenders should be punished with 40 flogs, divided into 10 nanometers, ranging from 100 stones to 2 stones, and those who are nanometers will be reduced to death, and those below will be exempted from crimes. Those who are powerless and nano, although they are cane, are still tied for a long time. In this way, the benefits can indeed reduce a lot of pressure on the household department, the two discussed, Zhu Zhanji said: "This matter is so decided, another day, the cabinet will draw up a charter, after I have read it, it will be good to issue an edict to the world?"
"Weichen understands!" Yang Shiqi bowed down and agreed, and was about to turn around to do it.
At this moment, Wang Zhen hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Yang Shiqi, he first bowed respectfully, and shouted: "...... old Yang Ge?"
Although Yang Shiqi doesn't have much of a good impression of the eunuch, but Wang Zhen is still a little different, this eunuch is literate, knowledgeable, and still very well-behaved, the key is what to say, what not to say, what to see, what not to see are just right, so in the cabinet, whether it is him, or Yang Rong, Yang Pu, who has always been very picky about people, also praised Wang Zhen, and at this time he saluted, and also hugged his fists.
Wang Zhen seemed to be in a hurry, and after saluting, he immediately walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Annan has sent an eight-hundred-mile post report!"
Zhu Zhanji subconsciously frowned when he heard Annan, and said, "Hurry up?"
When Wang Zhen saw the emperor like this, he knew that this matter was not simple, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and submitted the post report.
Zhu Zhanji stretched out his hand to take it and slowly opened the seal, only glanced at two lines, and his face was immediately very ugly.
Yang Shiqi subconsciously glanced at it, and by his feelings, he felt that Annan was only afraid that something good would happen this time.
Zhu Zhanji looked at it once and seemed to be a little unconvinced, and after reading it again, he was silent for a long time.
Wang Zhen saw the emperor like this, he was a little worried, and wanted to ask, but he didn't dare, seeing that Yang Shiqi was still outside the door, he shouted pitifully: "Lord Yang......?"
Yang Shiqi turned back and said, "Your Majesty, something happened to Annan?"
Zhu Zhanji glanced at the post newspaper in his hand again, sighed, and said: "Liu Sheng was defeated? My Ming Dynasty's 70,000 troops were completely annihilated, and Annan fell into the hands of Li Li. “
"What?" Yang Shiqi was taken aback and looked at Zhu Zhanji in disbelief.
Zhu Zhanji read the post report in his hand again, and said, "This is an eight-hundred-mile rush sent by Wang Tong, there will be no fake?"
Yang Shiqi said: "How can this be?"
If you want to say this, you have to start from February of the eighth year of Yongle, when Zhu Di's Northern Expedition to Mongolia won a great victory, and the whole country rejoiced.
Due to the good grasp of the timing, and the envoy is also a master who is good at sycophancy, after some rhetoric, Zhu Di was attracted to "Longyan Dayue", and Chen Ji was expanded to "Jiaozhi Bu Political Envoy", and the division was divided into fifteen prefectures, thirty-six prefectures, and more than one hundred and eighty counties, but this reward was dissatisfied with Chen Ji, who was bent on seeking the king, and immediately organized people to launch a rebellion.
Mu Sheng, who was guarding Annan, was incompetent and unable to confront it, so he could only shrink the defensive line and barely protect himself. In anger, Zhu Di sent Zhang Fu to Annan again in March. After Zhang Fu arrived, he made a heavy move, first beheaded Huang Zhong, the governor of the previous ineffective battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the army, and then threw the god of war into the sea again in August, using the flexibility of small boats, to break the rebel naval division of Annam, capture 400 enemy ships, and conquer Chen Jikuo's old nest Nghe An.
In December of the 11th year of Yongle, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng joined forces and fought a decisive battle with Chen Jikuo at the Aizijiang River on the border of Annam and Laos. Chen Jikuo used 8,000 war elephants to attack the Ming army. Zhang Fu was cautious and ordered the Ming army's archers to aim, "one arrow shoots the elephant slave, and the other arrow shoots the elephant's trunk", but the group of elephants was in chaos, but fled in a hurry, broke the Annan army formation, and Chen Jikuo's entire army was annihilated. After casting a net and searching, finally Yongle captured his family alive in Laos in January of the twelfth year, and the rebellion in Annam, which lasted for several years, was completely quelled. After the successful peace, Zhang Fu escorted Chen Jikuo's family back to Beijing. Zhu Di ordered Li Bin, the former deputy commander of Jiaozhi, to replace Zhang Fu and supervise Annan.
