Chapter 115: My father-in-law is afraid of death
The law lies in the might.
Only those who fear the law, those who fear the power of the law, will not break the law.
The so-called notoriety of harsh punishment comes from the offender, not the law-abiding. The stricter the law is against the wicked and the juniors, the greater justice is to those who abide by the law.
Killing people pays for life, and it is natural and justified, regardless of age.
Wei Gonggong believes that the younger the person kills, the more severely he should be punished, because the heart of this generation is full of evil flowers and cannot be redeemed. Anyone who tries to save a juvenile murderer is tantamount to playing with a tiger. Any attempt to tolerate this generation is a violation of the principles of heaven and an injustice to society.
"Forgive one person today, and be able to forgive two or three people tomorrow, this is by no means the humanity of the law, nor the warmth of the law, but the overthrow and disrespect of my Ming law, like an anthill for a thousand miles, and if this continues, my law will become a trick played by a very small number of people. For example, if the young man who does evil again and again, doesn't he make my emperor's decree become a talisman for them to commit murder? Our family can't control the affairs outside, our family only knows that under our family's rule, this kind of reversal of black and white judgment must not happen, otherwise there is only one result, that is, our people are afraid of those young people who are evil, and the families of those innocent deceased do not even have a chance to seek justice! ”
Gonggong Wei said to the officials at the town guard yamen and the maritime yamen: "Compare your heart to your heart, if your children and relatives are killed by that young man's evildoer, can you really watch them get away with it and let them continue to do anything outside?" ”
"Yes, maybe you will say that you are officials, how can the children and relatives of officials encounter such a thing? But have you ever thought that if you are an official, your children and relatives will also be officials? The gentleman's ze, but the fifth generation and beheaded, if you are not strict with the law, then the tragedy of Zhao Ping'an may happen to your descendants. ”
Gong Wei spoke earnestly, although the main officials of the two major yamen were eunuchs, but eunuchs also had descendants. They have nephews, nephews, and adopted sons, and our Ming Dynasty has never allowed eunuchs to marry wives, let alone eunuchs to have queens. In the more than 200 years since the founding of the country, this eunuch has made meritorious contributions, which one is not like a normal person who hides his wife and children.
Therefore, the law is now strictly enforced, not only for the people, but also for the law enforcers themselves.
Heaven is a good reincarnation.
"What kind of judgment do the princes of the court have, and what does it have to do with us? The emperor, our family will say that as long as you understand a little, that is, you will always listen to us, and you will do what we tell you to do! ”
Under the strong leadership of Wei Gonggong, Lu Xiaobao, Zheng Cheng'er and other five juvenile murderers were beheaded, and the parents of the murderers were ordered to confiscate their family property and join the imperial army to serve hard labor.
This case has caused a great sensation in the SAR, and for quite a long period of time, all those who have sons of evil have trembled, and the social atmosphere has changed.
But this case also aroused criticism from Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department, but this is a later story. Regarding the details of this case and the reason why he had to be sentenced so heavily, Gonggong Wei had already revised a letter of 800 li and rushed it into the palace.
Of course, as a common practice, every time my father-in-law delivers a letter, a note, or a secret revelation to the emperor, he must have eight thousand filial piety.
No matter how poor you are, you can't be a poor emperor, and no matter how bitter you are, you can't be a concubine.
My father-in-law believes that as long as he always insists on these two points, it will not matter even if the sky falls.
On the third day after the case was handled, Shen Zongwen, the prime minister of the Fourth Ming Dynasty, had consistently sent his student Yao Zongwen to urge Wei Gonggong to send troops, saying that he had communicated with Fujian Governor Huang Chengxuan about the previous plan for a joint fleet, and that the Fujian side had no objection to the formation of a joint fleet by the three parties, and that Huang Chengxuan had personally gone to the Zhongzuo Station a few days ago, and Hou Anzhi, the commander of the Fujian Naval Division, had also rectified dozens of elite warships of the Fujian Naval Division and stationed them in the Penghu Inspection Office, and that the Fujian side had mobilized more than 10,000 boat divisions and some money and grain for this expedition. If it is not launched again, the daily consumption is astronomical, and it is difficult to live for a long time due to the barrenness of Fujian, so Jiangnan and Zhejiang should launch it as soon as possible. Otherwise, only Jiangnan and Zhejiang can provide money and grain for Fujian.
"There are more than 10,000 boatmen in Fujian?"
Gonggong Wei smiled, he didn't believe that Fujian could mobilize so many soldiers and horses.
Huang Zhongcheng exaggerated a little, but there are thousands. My father-in-law must know that when this army moves, it will cost money and food, and Fujian is indeed inferior to Jiangnan and Zhejiang, and some difficulties do exist. ”
Huang Chengxuan is the governor of Fujian recommended by the Zhejiang Party, and Yao Zongwen, who is the backbone of the next generation of the Zhejiang Party, will definitely not be able to dismantle his platform.
"Our family is almost ready, the navy has been formed, and we can set off just waiting for the grain we bought from Jiangbei to arrive."
As of now, the first brigade of the Guards Division has been fully manned, the first and second brigades of the second brigade have also been formed, the third brigade and the third brigade are also being reorganized, the artillery wing and the baggage wing have been formed, and the army can now mobilize about 10,000 combat troops.
As for the navy, since the introduction of the plan for the reorganization of the combined fleet, the navy has selected 120 main warships to serve as the standing fleet of the combined fleet, and the training of officers and men and the replenishment of ammunition have been carried out in an orderly manner. As far as the objectives of this campaign are concerned, the army soldiers and horses that have been replenished are absolutely capable of undertaking combat missions and quelling the natives of the East and the possible existence of Japanese pirates and Western pirates. What's more, this time it was a coalition of three families, not one of the imperial army.
Therefore, there is no problem in sending troops, the problem is that the food sent by the father-in-law to Jiangbei to buy has not yet arrived, and the other thing is that the father-in-law is not good at telling Yao Zongwen - he is afraid of death.
The father-in-law is not afraid of going to the battlefield, but his old man has personally slaughtered Lord Hong, and he has also personally commanded the battle in Kuandian. Therefore, the father-in-law of life and death on the battlefield really didn't pay attention to it, and his old man was afraid of Taiwan's epidemic and malaria.
The father-in-law of the country's surname is deeply memorable, so the father-in-law is waiting for one thing - cinchona.
Cinchona cream was used by the Indians to cure malaria, and my father-in-law did not know much about the specifics of this medicine, but he knew that this medicine was now available and in the hands of the Spaniards. As early as more than a year ago, my father-in-law had given the task of finding cinchona frost to Guo Jujing, a Western missionary he rescued on the Yangzhou Canal.
With the help of her father-in-law, Guo Jujing has built a church in the Special Administrative Region, and has also participated in the research and development of firearms in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, plus her father-in-law claims to be a devout Catholic, and has a Christian name, and he also expressed his support for the spread of Catholicism in the Ming Dynasty in practical actions, so in Guo Jujing's eyes, this favorite slave of the Ming Emperor is indeed half of his own people, so he responded to the search for cinchona.
Of course, cinchona cream is the Chinese name for this medicine, how Westerners currently call it, the father-in-law does not know, but as long as it is found to cure malaria. Last month, Guo Jujing reported that the drug had been found and that she would come to the SAR at the end of the month with some technicians hired in Macao.
Therefore, no matter how urgent the time is, no matter how tight Shen always urges, my father-in-law has to wait.
His old man is the son of ten thousand gold, and it is really inconvenient to get into danger.
For the safety of the lives of the soldiers of the Ming Imperial Army, the father-in-law also had to wait.
