Episode 30 Recovering Lake Balkhash

These days, the eye-catching "materials" on this eastern land are one after another, the talks in Tokyo are in full swing, the global media has not paid enough attention to it, and the disposal of the former Qing Emperor Guangwu has entered the agenda again. "Guangwu is dead", this is already the consensus of all parties. No matter from the perspective of the law of the Ming Dynasty or public international law, Guangwu has no possibility of living. He has killed too many people, from the mass murder of innocents after the coup d'état ascended the throne, to the immediate launch of the southern invasion war, the flagrant violation of international conventions, the shelling of civilian areas, resulting in the death and injury of thousands of civilians, to the open statement that allowed the Qing army to massacre the city, causing the southern invasion of the Qing soldiers to burn and plunder in Nanjing, to the subsequent intensification of the reign of terror and domination in the country for more than a year, resulting in the massacre of countless innocent people for various crimes......

With so much blood debt, it is impossible for him not to die.

As early as the fall of the Northern Qing Dynasty, countless relevant personnel, legal professionals, and civil volunteers of the Southern Ming Dynasty rushed to the land of Jiangbei to collect all kinds of criminal evidence in Guangwu. For such a long time, all kinds of human witnesses, physical evidence, original archives, photographs, audio recordings, ...... It's been piled up for a long time. So, after half a month of preparation, on September 17, the National Court of the Ming Empire issued a decision on the original Qing Emperor Aixin Jueluo? The case of Yuqi (Guangwu) was tried in public. The court is open to journalists from all over the world, and both domestic and foreign journalists can cover the entire trial on both sides of the hall. The prosecution lawyer is a very well-known prosecutor in the Imperial Public Prosecutor's Office, and he has been involved in many high-profile cases, espionage cases, major criminal cases, corruption cases...... In one corruption case, he sent a former cabinet minister to prison. This is also the highest-ranking person he has ever prosecuted. Now, this record is about to be broken, and he is about to send an emperor to the gallows...... For him, it will be the most brilliant stroke of his life.

The defence lawyer is also extraordinary, a well-known barrister from the people. The barrister has fought for countless big names, specializing in defense, and holds a record of "not losing a lawsuit in the last five years". He was hired by Guangwu's relative, that is, the imperial concubine Wu Ya, to defend Guangwu. Similarly, Emperor Guangwu was the highest-ranking of those he defended. Like the prosecution prosecutor, he regarded this lawsuit as the pinnacle of his career and the most colorful stroke in his life. Even if the record of "not losing a lawsuit in the last five years" is broken because of this time, it is definitely worth it. In the future, people will mention: "A certain barrister has not lost a lawsuit in five years, and in the end he lost the lawsuit because of the one he defended Emperor Guangwu", which is also very glorious.

Originally, Wu Yashi didn't dare to hire any more lawyers. She didn't have that concept at all. In her mind, now is the time for people to be rough and I am for the fish, and it is time to wag her tail and beg for mercy, how can she still engage in any "defense"? The fourteenth Gege Ken promised to let go of his mother and son, which was already a blessing, and he couldn't kick his nose in the face.

And she was also surprised that when the Ming court wanted Guangwu to die, there were still so many "grass people" who dared to defend Guangwu...... Moreover, the imperial court did not dare to stop it.

Wu Yashi has been "harassed" by all kinds of barristers for half a month, not only Daming lawyers, but also foreigner lawyers. They all want to seize this rare opportunity to win the defense of such an important person and push their careers to the peak. These barristers were not only willing to defend her for free, but also repeatedly persuaded her, enlightened her, and "eradicated" her with her to explain what was going on and what kind of relationship was going on here...... Another barrister even said that the rules of the world are like this now, and the person being tried must have a defense lawyer, and if there is none, it will make people laugh at barbarism. Our Majesty doesn't want people to laugh at us for being savage, even if you don't invite us, the court will have to invite us back, and the court will definitely have to give us money. You see, can you still wait for the imperial court to spend money on you? It's not sensible!

So, Wu Yashi was frightened and hired the barrister directly.

……

While the lawsuit for the trial of Guangwu was ongoing, the Soviet side never stopped condemning Daming. Moscow denounced the Ming in the newspapers and on the radio every day, saying that their raid was an act of bandits and bandits, and that they had not only kidnapped the "legitimate king" of the "sovereign state" of the Ili Kingdom, but also, more importantly, the two people's commissars of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics...... Dispatch an army to a sovereign country to kidnap someone's yuan, if this is not called a bandit, then there will be no robbers in the world.

At the same time, the Soviet nationals became the most angry group in the world. They don't understand why some people are so bad, why some countries are so bad. Why did Ming imperialism repeatedly invade weak and small countries, and repeatedly violated the just Soviet Union. In elementary and middle schools in the Soviet Union, teachers asked children what they wanted to do when they grew up, and many Soviet children gritted their teeth and said that they wanted to join the Red Army when they grew up and raze the Ming Kingdom to the ground. Then, the teacher corrected them and said that they should "join the Red Army when they grow up." Completely wipe out Ming imperialism and liberate the millions of people oppressed by it. ”

However, the children always felt puzzled, and when they were laughing and playing games in private, they were discussing how to deal with those imperialists when they went to the Ming Kingdom in the future. Some of the children said that they would burn the imperialists to death, while others said that they would be sent to the shooting range to practice marksmanship for the Red Army uncles. Many times when the argument is fierce, the children can fight.

But after all, the situation in Central Asia was not shifted by the will of Moscow's newspapers and broadcasts. In the two months of August and September, the Ming army not only completely recovered the north and south of Xinjiang, but also burned the flames of war to the territory of the Soviet Union. Southern Xinjiang is a closed basin and is not easy to attack, so the Ming army mainly attacked from the north and hit the country, and the tanks were already galloping on the steppes of Kazakhstan.

So far, all the old territories occupied by Russia in the Northern Qing Dynasty have been recovered, including a large area east of Lake Balkhash. According to the plan of the Ming Cabinet and the General Staff, the Ming Dynasty's territorial claims in Central Asia in the future will be bounded by Lake Balkhash. The area east of Lake Balkhash was originally occupied by the Russian Qing Dynasty. Although the treaties were signed at the beginning, those treaties were extremely unjust, and they were signed when the Qing government was obviously weak and lacked the right to speak, and Russia was the obvious aggressor.

But west of Lake Balkhash, the Ming plan was a different story. The Ming did not intend to annex the whole of Kazakhstan as a "homeland", but intended to build a pro-Ming buffer state in Central Asia, which would become a barrier between the Soviet Union and the Ming Dynasty in the future.
