How difficult is it to revise the Fa?

The yamen in all parts of Jinling worked overtime, and the common people, merchants, farmers, and workers in the market were all questioned, and the criminal department shrugged up the files accumulated over the years. Although it is certainly not possible to do it in one step, we must strive for perfection and fill in the gaps in the future.

Once the law is completed, it determines the norms of behavior and work of the entire empire, and the law is greater than the sky, so it must be prudent.

Hou Xuanyan personally intervened in two points, one is that between officials and businessmen, officials are corrupt by more than 5,000 taels, which is the death penalty, and the same is true for businessmen to evade taxes.

Now that he is an official, his status is respected by everyone, and if he is corrupt again, he is a natural corrupt official and must be severely punished.

The high salary and heavy ceremony are the two sets of chains for Hou Xuanyan to avoid collusion between officials and businessmen and use capital to kidnap politics.

The second point is the military power, the emperor can decide to declare war and send troops, and the local military power belongs to the commander of the capital, and it is not allowed to be stationed for more than four years. The principals of the lecture halls in various places are all appointed by the emperor remotely, and the subordinate is the vice principal, who actually manages the lecture halls in various places.

In the past, they did not dare to move back and forth like this, because they were afraid that the soldiers would not know the generals and the generals, and it would be difficult to command in a battle.

The current Chinese army does not have this problem, thanks to the establishment of the lecture hall, the training of middle and lower-level generals is complete, and the commander-in-chief is like an arm.

The yamen in Jinling were overcrowded, and the officials were busy.

In the Forbidden City, Hou Xuanyan looked at all the first drafts submitted and took the trouble to read them one by one.

At first, I still had the energy to look through it, but then my eyes were sore and dizzy, and my brain was like cooking porridge, so I had to find someone to read it to me.

In the Chunhe Palace, a brass yang-patterned incense burner is wafting with a refreshing fragrance at this time. At first smell, the aroma is slightly bitter, and there is also a sense of warmth and warmth.

Hou Xuanyan was half-lying and half-sitting, his head resting on Zhou Yujie's plump and white chest, listening to Qingluan's reading aloud, and on the table next to him, the elixir was leaning down with the pen, looking at an identical first draft, waiting to revise the inscription.

"Anyone who plots rebellion, rebellion, or creates demons and gossips to confuse the people, the main offender will be put to death, and grandfathers, fathers and sons, grandchildren, brothers, and cohabitants, regardless of surname, uncles and brothers, regardless of nationality, shall be beheaded at the age of 16 or older."

Hearing this, Hou Xuanyan frowned, opened his mouth and said: "Change it here, those who participate in the conspiracy or know will be beheaded, and the rest of the people can be exempted from their crimes." The person who whistleblows the whistle is not only innocent, but can also be rewarded as appropriate. ”

The elixir was immediately circled with a cinnabar pen on the first draft, and then the content of Hou Xuan's speech was written aside.

Qingluan saw that she had finished writing, so she continued to read.

The four of them worked like this until the evening, and they were a little tired before they rested.

------

When Jinling was revising the law, Moxi had already reached a white-hot stage, and Yan Yingyuan divided his troops to guard Wuliangfu and Hami, using these two places as a bridgehead, constantly sending troops to kill and injure the Junggar army and civilians.

The whole Moxi is full of blood, hatred and contradictions are unprecedentedly acute, and the country with one religion and religion is so difficult that the whole country is the enemy when it fights.

In the extreme west of the desert, it was dark and very late, Baturhui's face was gloomy, although he unified the entire Oirath Alliance and built the Dzungar Khanate, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, but he still could not compete with the Chinese army.

These people set up a strange formation, it is a killing machine, and what is even more terrifying is that they have no less than their own war horses. Cowardly Mongol herders had thrown themselves into the arms of the Han Chinese, providing them with countless hard-working Mongol horses and skilled horsemen.

The Chinese army went back after killing people, which made the entire khanate panic, which was originally a nomadic stunt, but was learned vividly by the Chinese army, which was dominated by the Han people.

Tsarist emissaries came in waves, trying to get Baturhun to agree to Tsarist Russia directly entering the country to fight.

Although the Chinese army was ferocious, Tsarist Russia was not a good bird, and Baturhun knew this.

The poor Dzungar Khanate, the last powerful nomadic state, was born in the middle of two rogues

Because Tsarist Russia was unable to send a large army, it suffered repeated defeats in Mobei, and the invincible Cossack cavalry, after dropping nearly 10,000 heads, returned in vain.

This made Tsar Alexey ?? Mikhailovich?? The Romanovs were very annoyed, in recent years, they have obtained Ukraine by mistake, not to mention their strength, and their position on the European continent has been consolidated and even strengthened, but they have suffered a big loss in the East.

Tsarist Russia's greed for land was no weaker than Hou Xuanyan's, and they could not tolerate defeat in the east, and they were bound to have a decisive battle with the Chinese army.

And the best battlefield is the Dzungaria, which has always been unconquerable, Alexei?? Mikhailovich?? Romanov's calculation was very good, he wanted to solve this enemy in Dzungaria, take Dzungar with his hand, and extend the hand of Tsarist Russia to the coveted southern steppe.

The two big countries both took Dzungar as the peach that was picked easily, which made Batur Hui extremely ashamed.

Looking at the entire history of the grassland, Baturhun and his son Galdan can be described as heroes for a while. They had vision, courage, and the ability to fight tough battles, and if they had been in other eras, they would have been able to establish a khanate as powerful as the Mongol Yuan.

Unfortunately, it is no longer the era of cavalry invincibility, and the cannons and muskets of the Tsarist and Chinese armies dominate the battlefield. The powerful economies behind the two countries support an unimaginably large army in Dzungaria.

The Dzungar Khanate, which was sandwiched in the middle, was faced with an unparalleled predicament, and Batur Hun was frowning for days, and the excitement and pride of reunifying Qinghai and Tibet and establishing the Dzungar Khanate a few days ago had long since disappeared.

On the charcoal burning in the big tent, a fat whole sheep was roasted, and a small soldier opened the curtain and came in, hugged his fists and said: "Great Khan, Tsarist Russia has sent people again, this time it is their cavalry general." ”

Baturhun waved his hand weakly and said, "Let him wait in the camp for a few days, and say that I am not feeling well." ”

The small soldiers came out with the order, these days the Chinese army's offensive is getting more and more excessive, almost killing people and leaving, obviously there are superior forces, but they don't fight by themselves.

His army was exhausted, and occasionally if he did catch up, he would be repulsed by artillery. and the explosives buried in the ground, which made the cavalry under his command even more frightened.

Landmines are such a thing, and they were also invented by the Han people back to their roots.

During the Song Dynasty, the Jin army attacked Shaanzhou, and the Song army used the "gunpowder cannon" buried in the ground to blow up the golden dog and cry to the mother, which was the earliest example of using landmines.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Han Chinese created real mines that used mechanical ignition devices. According to the book "Fire Dragon Sutra" written by Jiao Yu in 1413: the bombing is made of pig iron, fasting, putting medicine into the pestle, entering the small bamboo tube, piercing the fire line inside, and using a long line to penetrate the fire groove outside.

"Explosives" are not only the earliest pressurized mines, but also similar to today's "chain mines", from which the term "mines" is derived.

Since it comes to the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, there must be a ghost Qi Jiguang, who invented a kind of "steel wheel fire" mine, when the enemy stepped on the motive, the steel wheel rotated and the flint was sharply rubbed and ignited, detonating the mine.

The arsenal of the Chinese Dynasty was further renovated, mass-produced, and put into use in the war in Moxi, which gave the Dzungars a headache.

Baturhun sat on a chair paved with animal skins, holding his forehead like the famous statue "The Thinker", and now his problem came

If you agree to enter Dzungaria, then the northern front will liberate a large number of troops, and you can also get strong assistance from Tsarist Russia. If you don't agree, the embarrassed and angry Tsarist Russia is likely to fall into the ground and fight with the Chinese army left and right, and Dzungaria will die at that time.

Although now Tsarist Russia has stopped harassing on the northern front and provided itself with a large number of gunpowder weapons, he knows the temperament of Tsarist Russia best.

Is it to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, or to lure the wolf into the house?
