Chapter 94: Chain Changes (1)
The next day, the reconnaissance unit rushed back. Seeing that Zhu Hongwu was there, the reconnaissance platoon commander immediately said: "Commander, the results of our reconnaissance show that this group of Mongolian troops is wantonly arresting people in the north. ”
"Arrest the people from the north of North Korea?" Zhu Hongwu was surprised.
"Yes." The platoon commander replied. Then the platoon commander began to describe what he saw. The detachment of female straights dressed in animal skins moved to bring back the robbed Koreans. At the assembly site there will be Mongolian stewards wearing Mongolian leather robes. The steward pointed to the older, emaciated-looking captives. The female straight took those defective products in the eyes of the Mongols to the far away on the periphery, and smashed the heavenly spirit cover of the defective products with a mace.
Such a staging area is not only one, but also those women and Mongols from north of Pyongyang are desperately trying to catch people. Now the gang has begun to break away from Pyongyang, passing through like locusts, leaving behind patches and piles of corpses.
"Tsk!" Zhu Hongwu couldn't help but speak, "Prepare to pursue." ”
"How to pursue?" The chief of staff asked the commander what he meant.
"Prepare to set up a patrol fleet on the Yalu River, build artillery towers on the south side of the Yalu River, and do not allow straight women or Mongols to pass." Zhu Hongwu gave him a plan.
The chief of staff had an embarrassed expression on his face after hearing this, these are all long-term plans. By the time it's finished, I'm afraid that the female straight has already run away. But the chiefs of staff were all smart men, and he soon sensed that Zhu Hongwu's idea might not be to catch up with the female straight people and recapture the captive Goryeo people. The plains on the southern edge of the Korean Peninsula were deserted after repeated raids by the Mongol army, and only those who had lived in the mountains for a long time were spared. It is estimated that there are about five or six hundred thousand remaining Koreans in the south.
The northern part of Korea was originally the homeland of China, but these people have not been under the administration of China for 600 years, just like the area north of Yinshan is not much different. To the north of Yinshan, the Song army did not take probationary measures.
The female straight man has no intention of staying in North Korea for a long time, and when it comes to the fertility of the land, North Korea is far inferior to Liaodong. In this way, they swept through the northern part of Korea, exchanging their captured slaves for various rewards from their Mongol masters. Buyers on the Mongolian side are happy with their gains. The slaves were tied up in large groups with ropes and headed north along the already familiar road. There are many bones along the way as signposts, and for more than two years the Mongols used this road to transport slaves to the north.
Zhao Guanjia also got the news, and in the news, Zhu Hongwu put forward his opinion, "Now there is no longer an existence in the Liaodong region that can be harmed by Mongolia and women, and the Great Song Dynasty needs to be very careful."
Zhao Jiaren can understand why Zhu Hongwu sat back and watched the female straight sweep the Korean Peninsula, and if he were replaced, he would probably make the same choice. So Zhao Jiaren sent a telegram to the Liaodong Military Region, saying, 'The military risk in the Liaodong region has been greatly increased.'
After that, the energy of the Zhao official family shifted back to the south. Zhao Jiali had already escorted the coffins of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager back to Hangzhou, and Zhao Jiaren proposed a 'retro funeral', which shook the imperial court.
The so-called retro is by no means a return to the Yuxia Shang Zhou for those literati. Really in the Yuxia era, even the burial of the king was quite simple. Find a place to dig a pit and bury it deeply, there is no special pomp on the ground. At that time, Confucius's father was a famous warrior in the Lu country, and the traditional mode was adopted when he was buried. So much so that only the person who buried knows the exact location. After Confucius's mother died, he found the burial person, so that he could prepare to find the burial place, dig up his father's coffin, and let the husband and wife be buried together.
If such a proposal had been put forward 20 years ago, Zhao Jiaren would not have been able to gain support, and the current public opinion is obviously favorable to Zhao Jiaren. The royal mausoleum of the Great Song Dynasty has been mutilated twice. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, and the Jin soldiers killed the imperial tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the official family and the minister's mausoleum buried near the official house were dug by the Jin soldiers. After the surrender of Lin'an, the Mongols excavated more than the tomb of Song Lizong. The tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty officials were also stolen by the Mongol army.
According to the ancient method, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty would choose a large area, and when they died, they would find a place to dig a deep cave, put it in a coffin, and finally fill it in. Only a wordless monument was erected on the edge of this large area. There are no specific mounds.
In addition to the fact that the official family can no longer afford the mausoleum, including the tombs of ordinary people, must also be reformed. The burial prescribed by Zhao Jiaren was combined with the tradition of cremation in the Great Song Dynasty. There are two selectable modes of spiritual pagoda worship and forest burial.
Cremation is not a product of the "changing customs" of modern society. If cremation is called advanced, cremation was prevalent in Kaifeng, Lin'an, Hedong Road, Liangzhejiang Road and other places during the Song and Song dynasties. The reason is very simple, because of the lack of land, the dead and the living compete for land, "Hedong is crowded and narrow, and the people have funerals, although they are close relatives, they are burnt, and the bones are taken and sent to the monks' houses." So that it is enough to abandon donations for a long time, and it is customary. The same is true of Liangzhejiang Road: "The customs of Wu Yue must be accumulated and then done." As for the poor family, the tools for sending the end of life are only simple, and they are used to cremation at the rate of convenience, and they have become accustomed to each other. ”
Not only the poor people "take cremation as convenience", but the rich and noble families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also choose cremation, "the customs of the right water town in Zhejiang, people die, although they are powerful, they do not run the land of the tomb to live in peace, and they will also burn like monks." When Marco Polo traveled to Hangzhou, he saw the cremation ceremony of the locals: "When a rich man dies, all his relatives, men and women, are dressed in rough clothes, and go to the place where the body is cremated." Walk with joy and pray aloud to idols. And so much paper and painted servants and maidservants, horses and camels, gold and silver, and cloth were thrown into the fire...... After the cremation is completed, the music is restored, and everyone sings a message, and the soul of the deceased will be received by idols and reborn in the world. ”
Due to the prevalence of cremation, crematoriums also appeared in some cities in the Song Dynasty, which were called "Huaren Fields" at the time. There are dozens of crematoriums in Lin'an City in the Southern Song Dynasty, 16 of which are almost abandoned because of "the construction of the age is far-reaching", to the Jiading period of Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, almost all of them were abandoned, and Ningzong "ordered that Lin'an Mansion will see that the people are still in the field, and it has been demolished 16 places, except for the Golden Wheel and the Burning Heaven Temple, the remaining 14 places and Xu Fu ordered the incineration of the site", and rebuilt 14 crematoriums. Lin'an also has a service organization similar to a modern "funeral home", with a special room for people to store urns.
In the past, the reason for retro burial was actually similar, and it was believed that the deceased should not affect the normal life of the people on the ground. As soon as the two sides are combined, the internal logic of the retro policy becomes extremely self-consistent and very moral.
As for the specific implementation, Zhao Guanjia introduced the concept of soil and water conservation forest belt. Some areas are soil and water conservation areas, so forest areas cannot be cut down. As long as the Great Song Dynasty still exists, the feng shui of those areas will not change. People buried in those areas will be left undisturbed.
As for the preservation of the pagoda, it is even simpler, people buy or rent a place to store the ashes in the pagoda. You can not only enjoy your own incense, but also rub a little incense from other houses. A spiritual pagoda can be built very high, and there are thousands of locations in it. The problem of land competition between the dead and the living will be minimized.
Including Zhao Jiaren, who formulated the system, he himself felt that 'there is no China after Yashan' is not completely unreasonable. With the degree of civilization of the Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties in the back could not catch up.
As soon as this news came out, Zhao Jiaren's second brother Zhao Jiali found Zhao Jiaren's theory. Zhao Jiaren only asked: 'Is it difficult for the emperors of the three generations to be more noble than the emperors of later generations?' Zhao Jiali couldn't answer. After three generations of rule, the emperor at that time enjoyed great prestige in later generations in China. However, as a representative, Dayu personally took a dustpan and shovel to work with his subordinates. His hands and feet were covered with thick calluses, the hairs on his calves were worn away from labor, and his thighs were almost skinny from the hard work. There is no question of the resurrection of the hips. I didn't hear about the problem of Dayu building a luxurious mausoleum for himself.
can't argue with Zhao Jiaren, but it doesn't mean that Zhao Jiali just obediently admits defeat. The literati will kneel and lick in front of power, and will give in in front of aliens, but they will never admit defeat in the face of reason. Zhao Jiali felt that he had gone to Quanzhou, where the Zhao clan lived, to contact the Zhao clansmen. It is necessary to use the power of the clan to make Zhao Jiaren face the reality and give up the high-sounding retro idea.
Unaware of the fact that Zhao Jiali was planning to harass everyone's daily life, one of the female section chiefs of the Zhao clan walked into the Quanzhou procuratorate and entered the office of special prosecutor Chen Daoqing.
Chen Daoqing's expression was grim, and he first asked Section Chief Zhao to sit down and pour water, and then he said solemnly: "Section Chief Zhao, the reason I invited you here this time is because I want you to do me a favor." Can you persuade Cai Jiesheng to confess honestly. ”
Section Chief Zhao looked at Chen Daoqing coldly, with alertness, disdain, and anger in his eyes. After a moment of silence, Section Chief Zhao replied coldly: "Isn't it your procuratorate's business to ask the prisoner for a confession, why would you let me come." You have already caught Cai Jiesheng and tortured him, didn't he confess? ”
"The so-called torture is your misunderstanding." Chen Daoming couldn't help but feel a little angry in his voice. When it comes to the judiciary, the common first reaction is that the thugs only know how to torture. The new Song Dynasty judicial system had its own organizational methods and regulations, and the Zhao Guanjia adopted a retro system. It is said to be the Qin law. The new system stipulates that conviction based on logic and facts is a superior case. Conviction based on reasoning, confession, and simple logic is moderate. Conviction of using torture to extract confessions is an inferior case. Of course, if you don't care at all and do nothing, you will fail. will be punished.
As for the sensational case of the section chief's suicide, Prosecutor Chen Daoqing believes that he has done his best, and he has a clear conscience. So he continued to persuade: "Section Chief Zhao, I think you are a decent person. I think you also know some news, so I will tell you directly about the results of the investigation so far. Your husband was under a lot of pressure because of the theft of silver, and we found out that Cai Jiesheng had a bad idea of you, so we intensified the investigation against this person. ”
"Hmph. Then I want to thank you! Section Chief Zhao elegantly gave Chen Daoqing a big taunt.
"I think you may have some misunderstanding, thinking that there is something different about us judicial people." Chen Daoqing couldn't help but fight back at the oncoming ridicule, "Actually, we are no different from ordinary people. Each time you are assigned a case, those of you who are involved in the case actually know more about the case than we do. We had to rush to the scene of the crime and force ourselves to walk so many ways and see so many people like you who don't give us a good look. We do this only because we are different from others, and we believe that there is justice and justice in this world. Justice and justice need to be fulfilled and demonstrated. Zhao Guanjia said that justice delayed is not justice. The job of our justice system is to get justice to happen as soon as possible. ”
Hearing this, Section Chief Zhao's expression was a little kind. But it's only a little kinder. She was silent for a moment and then asked, "But you don't know what you want me to do." ”
Chen Daoqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This case experience is also quite rare for him, and at first, Chen Daoqing felt that this incident was something earth-shattering that someone had done within the Maritime Safety Bureau. After the investigation, it was found that the Maritime Safety Bureau itself was not so bad. As a very profitable department, people within the Maritime Administration simply don't look down on this idea for small profits.
Section Chief Zhao, the wife of the deceased section chief, was a beautiful and elegant woman, and a woman admired by many men. Da Song's attitude towards marriage is also very civilized. Even the officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not mind marrying divorced women, and there was a judicial system in the judicial system that if the husband did not return for two years without a reason, and did not correspond, the wife could go to the local government to ask for a divorce.
What from the beginning, what chastity archway, what married to the husband's family and became a member of the husband's family. It's all the barbarian system. If a case like Xianglin's sister-in-law were in the Great Song Dynasty, the government would have intervened with the law that 'human trafficking is not allowed'. What from the beginning, what chastity archway, what married to the husband's family and became a member of the husband's family. It's all the barbarian system. If a case like Xianglin's sister-in-law were in the Great Song Dynasty, the government would have intervened with the law that 'human trafficking is not allowed'
Section Chief Zhao's husband is a guy with insufficient psychological capacity, and he was frightened when he learned that something happened to him. One of his colleagues, Cai Jiesheng, gave Section Chief Zhao an idea to commit a fake suicide. Section Chief Zhao hung himself up first, and Cai Jiesheng and his colleagues went in at the right time, just in time to find the one who was bouncing on the rope. Since this person is already going to 'die to make his will', it means that he is not really involved in this matter. It's easy to explain.
And this Cai Jiesheng has long been an admirer of Section Chief Zhao. At the moment when there was a clock, the two of them checked the watch and determined the time. Cai Jiesheng did not go in as agreed. It's about pinching the time and not going in. It wasn't until the body was found that Cai Jiesheng sighed with relief. That's a bit of a slip of the tongue.
