Chapter 720: Separation of Punishments
Afternoon.
The Imperial Study.
Sun Quan sat next to the bookcase, and after a good discussion with several family members of the Ministry of Rites, it was finally decided that this time the delegation to the north of Wei would have Wucheng Marquis Sun Kuang as the main envoy and Zuo Shilang Hongzhi as the deputy envoy.
Cao Cao's counterattack in Youzhou was regarded as hitting him by seven inches, and now the Wei army is holding the two divisions of his Youzhou battalion, and the atmosphere in Youzhou and Jizhou suddenly became tense.
He will either go to war or bow his head.
However, the road of war should be impassable, and now both sides are not ready, once the fight starts, it will be a defeat for both sides, and then the other princes will benefit.
Even if Sun Quan was annoyed, he couldn't do it.
Cao Cao probably saw this, so he broke out the Battle of Zhuojun without authorization, and found some ground in the defeat of the Battle of Jizhou.
He did not increase his troops, and with only 50,000 soldiers and horses guarding the boundary bridge, he could trap the two divisions of the Youzhou battalion, which was the ability of the Wei army.
Sun Quan could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood.
"Ji Zuo, this time to the north, when you face Cao Mengde at the right time, you can show weakness, and there is only one result, the two divisions of Yicheng must come back safely!"
Sun Quan looked at the fourth child, Sun Kuang, and said with a smile: "Of course, now that they are holding our handle, they will definitely open their mouths, and this depends on how you respond!" ”
The brothers of the Sun family, except for the eldest and third, Sun Quan has deliberately cultivated.
Sun Kuang has a good talent in communication, and is now appointed as a servant in the Ministry of Rites, second only to the left and right servants.
However, he has a special status, and he can be the main envoy of the negotiation and send a royal child. It can also be regarded as a demonstration of Sun Quan's sincerity in this negotiation.
In the current situation, it is inevitable for him to bow his head, after all, he can't gamble with the lives of the soldiers of the two divisions under his command, since they have already chosen to bow their heads, they will do it simply.
If you lose, you lose, and he is not a person who can't afford to lose. Therefore, showing more sincerity can also show weakness.
"Brother Wang, my brother understands!"
Sun Kuang nodded.
"Brother-in-law, this time I have you to accompany Ji Zuo!" Sun Quan patted Hongzhi on the shoulder and said softly: "Ji Zuo is young, those old foxes of Cao Wei, there is some distance, you look at him, don't let him suffer!" ”
The king was serious. This is the responsibility of the minister! ”
Hongzhi hurriedly bowed down.
As the first horse master of Wu Guo today, he has always thought that he can only be idle and depressed all his life, and now he can enter the court, which is already a great luck, and it is Sun Quan, an enlightened person, that allows him to show his strengths in the court.
"Go ahead. This was the first case to be negotiated after the establishment of the Ministry of Rites. Do it better, let the ministers of Wu and the people see the value of the existence of the Ministry of Rites! ”
Sun Quan looked at a few people and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, the Ministry of Rites will definitely not let the king down!"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Huaxin said confidently.
……
The next day, early in the morning, the hussar general Zhao Yun was once again summoned into the palace by Sun Quan's holy decree to discuss matters.
Sun Quan and Zhao Yun walked in a courtyard next to Xuanwu Lake. It is the season of March when the flowers are blooming and the flowers are blooming, and the air in the courtyard is filled with layers of floral fragrance.
"Zilong, the Jiangdong battalion has been prepared, but the matter of the Southern Army and the Western Army. Is it ready to be handled? Sun Quan walked on the promenade of the courtyard and asked as he walked.
The Southern Army and the Western Army are the soldiers and horses defending the title of Gyeonggi, and the position of commander cannot be put on hold forever.
"Hmm!"
Zhao Yun followed Sun Quan less than a step away, nodded, and then said softly: "Commander of the Western Army, Han Gang!" ”
"Lone's personal guard leader, you have a good eye!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he smiled dumbly and said: "After staying in the palace alone, I have been thinking about how to arrange him properly, but now he doesn't seem to be enough to rule the Western Army, whether it is martial arts or military strategy!" ”
Han Gang and Luo Han were Sun Quan's personal soldiers for many years, and Luo Han was killed in the assassination in Jingzhou. Over the years, only Han Gang has been by his side, fighting in the south and the north, and has blocked arrows for him several times.
"It doesn't matter, he has qualifications, his force is not bad, and the most important thing is that he is absolutely loyal to the king, loyal and loyal, with the Jiangdong battalion taking care of him, the western army is as stable as Mount Tai!"
Zhao Yun said calmly: "This appointment has been approved in the Military Aircraft Department, and the general and others have no opinions!" ”
"What about the Confederate Army?" Sun Quan asked.
"Zu Dong is the great commander, and Huang Shank is the deputy commander!"
Zhao Yun replied softly, "Zu Dong, this person, with the character of General Zu Mao, is loyal and unparalleled, when Sun Yi led his troops to attack the royal city, he only relied on thousands of imperial forest troops, but he fought to the death and did not retreat, this person is available, very useful!" ”
"What's the matter with the yellow handle?"
"After several tosses in the Western Army, the influence of the Han family's father and son is a lot weaker, so it is not difficult for Han Gang to control the Western Army, but the Southern Army is different, General Huang Gai's influence in the Southern Army is deep in the hearts of the army, and with the yellow handle, he can stabilize the hearts of many soldiers!" Zhao Yun analyzed.
"Good!"
Sun Quan nodded, using Huang Gai's son to control the southern army, this is a good choice, there is an ancestral Dong suppressing him, and he can't make any big waves.
"King, Weichen has another suggestion!"
"Say!"
"The Southern Army and the Western Army can't stay in Jinling City!" Zhao Yun said softly: "They defend Jiangdong, deliberately, but there is no need to stay in Jinling, Jinling City has the Praetorian Guard and the Northern Army, which are already impregnable!" ”
"Where do you want to put it?" Sun Quan thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then asked.
"The Western Army crosses westward, guarding the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the Southern Army goes south, guarding Yuzhang!" }
"It's not that it can't!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he thought about it carefully before he said: "But in the capital of Gyeonggi, you still have to be careful in everything, although you don't believe that anyone can defeat Jinling City, but you can't help but take precautions, a few soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong battalion, for their combat effectiveness, you have to put them on the frontier battlefield to practice, there is no experience in going to the battlefield often, the Southern Army." The Northern Army, the Western Army, including the Praetorian Guard, if they stay in Jinling City for a long time, they are a guard of honor, at best they are just hounds. Less ferocity of wild wolves! ”
"Wechen understands!"
Zhao Yun nodded.
"By the way, the reduction of troops in the army, Lone has already made a preliminary decision, but I have to communicate with the Criminal Department, it just so happens that you are also here, and you are here together!"
Sun Quan strode out of the courtyard and entered the imperial study along the corridor of the palace.
"No!"
Zhao Yun followed behind him. Yitong walked into the imperial study, and in the imperial study, Shen Fu, the secretary of the criminal department, the high name of the left waiter, the right waiter Gongsun Kang, and several officials of the criminal department, have been waiting here for a long time.
"Wait, meet the king!"
Watching Sun Quan walk in. Several people from the Criminal Department hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"No need to be polite, sit down!"
Sun Quan strode in. sat at the head of the small living room, and then Zhao Yun, Shen Fu and others sat left and right in the lower seat.
"Shen Shangshu, can the Criminal Department already gain a foothold in the local area?"
Sun Quan looked at Shen Fu.
Shen Fu is an old seniority, and he was already about to retire, but at present, Gao Ming has never been able to bear the burden of the Criminal Department, and he can only temporarily lead the Criminal Department Shangshu.
"Returning to the King. At present, it is considered the yamen of the criminal department that is stable in the local area, but if it wants to take root in the people, it will take time, and the criminal department needs to coordinate well with the local yamen for case classification! ”
Shen Fu said in a low voice.
"Shen Shangshu. Lone thought about it, the Criminal Department is different from other departments, in terms of law enforcement and trial, it has always been a mixed talk, this time, Lone wants to be executed separately, Lone intends to open the Dali Temple and the God Capture Division in the Criminal Department! ”
Sun Quan's amber crystal eyes flashed with essence: "Dali Temple trial, God Capture Division law enforcement, every county, establish a Dali Temple Yamen, every city, establish a God Capture Division Yamen!" ”
Sun Quan did this, which was established according to the system of later generations, Dali Temple is the court, and the Shenzhu Division is actually the police system.
"Also, the county government soldiers, in terms of establishment, there is a big discrepancy, it is not suitable for the criminal department to call, and the criminal department, in charge of many criminal cases, chivalrous and prohibited, local rangers, extraordinary force, not the general county soldiers can deal with it, the criminal department must have the strength of the criminal department, and the fast arrest of the god arrest department is the soldiers and horses directly under the criminal department!"
In this era, the rudiments of the rivers and lakes have appeared, rangers from all over the world, outstanding in force, they hold their own force, act chivalrous and righteous, and kill people with swords in anger.
"Please make it clear in detail!"
Everyone in the Criminal Department was considering Sun Quan's words, Gao Ming stood up, his eyes moved slightly, and he took the lead in arching his hand.
The Criminal Department is basically in charge, Shen Fu is already old and in poor spirits, and now he is still serving as the secretary of the Criminal Department, just to escort him.
"To put it simply, it means that the Criminal Department broke away from the local yamen and opened a yamen independently!"
Sun Quan said indifferently: "The local yamen is under the direct jurisdiction of the center, and then, the yamen of the criminal department is under the direct jurisdiction of the criminal department, cooperating with each other, but not under direct jurisdiction!" ”
"King, is this good?" When Shen Fu heard this, he frowned slightly, and said, "I'm afraid that the first assistant will have opinions, after all, the county government is the main management of the cabinet!" ”
"The six ministries and the twenty-four divisions are all under the jurisdiction of the Military Aircraft Department of the Cabinet, even if Zhang Zhao and they have an opinion, this opinion is not much bigger!"
Sun Quan said with a smile: "The establishment of the Divine Arrest Division is to better enforce the law, and it is necessary to rule Wu Guo by law, and now that the new law of Wu State has been promulgated, in this short period of time, there should be a lot of chaos in this place!" ”
"Indeed!"
Shen Fu nodded and said: "The local government is still maintaining the old law, and if the new law is implemented, there will be many old cases overturned, and the Criminal Department has been busy with this matter at present." ”
"Shen Shangshu, you have to be bold and bigger!" Sun Quan said with a smile.
"Wechen understands!" Shen Fu's cloudy eyes crossed a trace of fierceness, he has been in the position of Si Zhi for decades, and he has been a law enforcer all his life, so he naturally has his toughness.
"King, the establishment of the Divine Capture Division, for a while, we can't recruit so many people, and if we want to deal with the fierce and vicious prisoners, we also need some skills!"
Gongsun Kang said with some sorrow.
He is the eldest son of Gongsun Du, and since his father returned to Wu, he has been imprisoned for several years, but he has not, he has always been active in the officialdom of Wu, but he has only entered the court from the military.
Later, with the recovery of Gongsun Du, he also rose to the top, and Dawu changed the law, and with the support of some forces in Liaodong, he won the position of the right attendant of the Criminal Department.
"In this regard, Zilong can help your criminal department!" Sun Quan said indifferently, solving a big trouble and making the criminal department grateful is killing two birds with one stone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, when the law was changed in the army, a group of soldiers were laid off, and this group of soldiers has not been settled now, although they are somewhat inferior to other soldiers in the army, so they were laid off!"
Zhao Yun looked at a few people from the Criminal Department, and hurriedly said: "But if it is to maintain the local method, I believe that they should be competent!" ”
When several people heard this, they immediately looked at a lot of people, which was more suitable than recruiting local rangers to catch them quickly, and the generals in the army.
The officers and men in the army are like wolves and tigers, even if they are the weakest, they are not comparable to ordinary local officials.
With this group of soldiers, the Divine Capture Division can be set up in a short period of time. (To be continued......)
