"Song Criminal System" is a relatively complete set of criminal law system in the Great Song Dynasty, with punishment and punishment, but it is still very primitive! And the most distinctive is the "thorn matching method" invented by the Great Song Dynasty! ”

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, the five-penal system was basically inherited by subsequent dynasties and became an official penal system. For this reason, solving the inadequacy of the third-class punishment of exile has also become an important judicial topic in various dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, a unique thorn matching method was invented and fully developed.

The so-called "stabbing match" is a punishment that combines stabs, rods, and streams, which refers to tattooing words on the face, plus the spine of the cane, and then flowing with the army. It is not only the spine of the rod, but also the person, and the stab in the face, it is the body of a person, the crime of one thing, and the punishment of three at the same time, this kind of punishment is related to the social development at that time!

Originally, it was custom-made in the Northern Dynasties. Both the Sui and Tang dynasties no longer used the punishment of the Emperor. Therefore, the creation of the Later Jin Dynasty tattoo match is actually a symbol of the resurrection of the punishment of the Emperor, and in the Five Dynasties, tattoos were popular as a fashion and in the society, and the Song people at that time had many tattoos, and the development of this kind of tattoo was also reflected in the criminal law.

As far as punishment is concerned, all the measures are all explicitly stipulated in the principle of physical punishment but not the principle of property punishment, which is completely measured by the local government, which creates an opportunity for many people to take advantage of, and often there are many abusive punishments and cruel laws in various places, and it is not uncommon to deprive others of their property and enrich their own pockets.

At the time of Taizu, there were two penalties, and the body and wealth could not be mixed, but under the idea of feudal imperial power, there was no complete civil law and special solution to civil disputes, and often economic disputes were mixed with a lot of physical punishments, which in itself was very unreasonable.

The penal system of the Song Dynasty was still flogging, caning, imprisonment, exile, and death, but the creation of the "cane breaking law" in the early Song Dynasty made a fundamental change in its penal system. For example, the "Broken Cane Law" has detailed regulations on the size of the rod to be executed, how wide and thick, how many strokes the corresponding punishment is hit, and where it is hit.

However, for many civil disputes that are not suitable for criminal punishment, there are no regulations or they are very rough, and the punishment of stabbing is abused later, and at that time, many of the labor was done by prisoners who had to be exiled, because the government had to comply with Emperor Taizu's rule that "no labor should be used during the busy agricultural season".

At the height of the abuse of assassination, there were more than 600,000 exiles in various places, which also caused social instability, and the riots and uprisings in the border areas were also due to this, but after Xiao Ming used a large number of captive laborers, this phenomenon gradually decreased, because there was already cheaper labor!

But when it comes to the assassination of exile, the official court has slowly changed the habit of matching it at every turn when dealing with some lawsuits, and at this time, the Great Song Emperor Gaozong Zhao conceived a strategy of financial accumulation, so this involves some fundamental issues in the entire civil law system, and it will naturally change the "Song Criminal System".

In other words, this requires the court and the state to have special legal provisions! Although Gaozong Zhao Gou is smart, it is still very difficult to compile a set of laws by himself, so he has to let Xiao Ming give advice on this matter, but Xiao Ming is not a legal professional, he can only give a general direction, so such a thing was handed over to the secretary province and compiled by a group of talented people, which happened to be a good opportunity to establish the entire legislature of the Great Song Dynasty.

The establishment of the executive, legislative and judicial systems is a sign of a country's modernization, Xiao Ming is also willing to be too anxious, but this goal and direction are always correct, besides, Xiao Ming did not use any tough means, but just to take advantage of the situation, many ideas and measures were remembered by the emperor himself!

The Great Song Dynasty is currently in a vigorous reform, which can be said to be subtle or drastic, and the political change will involve all aspects of social development, which has also changed the daily life of ordinary people, but the Dajin regime in Yanjing has begun to move.

Due to the transfer of the Great Song army stationed on the front line, it was natural that the troops of Jin Guo and Liu Yu would be discovered, originally they were very strange, but later it was discovered that the Great Song Dynasty was indeed transferring troops to the rear, which directly caused the weak strength of the enemy's front line, coupled with the spies they placed in the Great Song Dynasty to report that it was Xiao Ming's return to change the government of the Great Song Dynasty, which seemed to be a sign of the instability of the Song Dynasty!

Jin Guo made the following judgment on this, first of all, the political turmoil of the Great Song Dynasty is an excellent opportunity, if the Great Demon Star Xiao Ming rectified the government of the Great Song Dynasty, then the next step will definitely be to the Jin State, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, coupled with the mobilization of troops on the front line of the Great Song Dynasty, this is an excellent time to launch the autumn offensive.

Therefore, the marshal of the Jin soldiers, Wanyan Zongbi, gathered 100,000 Jin soldiers and 300,000 Liu Yu's troops and began to launch a full-scale attack on the Song army south of the entire Yellow River.

Wanyan Zongbi personally led 100,000 Jurchen iron cavalry from the Daimyo Mansion to the south through Xiangzhou, directly approaching Xuzhou, while Wanyan Chang carried out a harassing attack on Shandong south of the Yellow River, with the aim of containing the elite of the Song army on the Jingdong East Road, and Liu Yu's generals commanded 200,000 troops from Xijing, Henan Prefecture to attack Yingchang Mansion!

The Song army has just been relegated, and the commanders and generals who are familiar with the front line have just been replaced, and they cannot form an effective defense for a while, so they are forced to retreat continuously. At this time, the general Liu Qi had just arrived at Xuzhou Mansion.

Liu Qi thought that at this stage, the Great Song Dynasty was short of troops and should stick to the reinforcements and did not take the initiative to attack, but the Privy Council Auxiliary Wang Xie, the Jin soldiers drove straight in, if their edge was good, they would definitely let the Jin soldiers approach Lianghuai, and opposed Liu Qi to stick to the helpers, thinking that he should take the initiative to attack! Wang Shu thinks that Liu Qi's approach is right! The whole Privy Council is clamoring for this!

After Xiao Ming received the war report, he did not interfere with any resolution of the Privy Council, but only instructed the auxiliary ministers of Zhongshu Province to raise military supplies as soon as possible to go north to support the front lines in various places, and asked Han Shizhong's Tiger Division to stay in Shandong to properly attack to relieve the siege of Xuzhou!

The key is that the defenders of Yingtianfu are under the most pressure, and Liu Yu's generals Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou not only besieged Yingtianfu but also besieged Yingchang Mansion, but this turned out to be a suspicious strategy, they bypassed Tangzhou and broke Junzhou and went straight to Xiangyang City! At this time, Zhao Gou realized how serious the consequences of Yue Fei's death were.

The defensive posture against the enemy in the middle of the road was originally promoted by Yue Fei, and he went through a lot of efforts to transform this defensive posture into an offensive posture, Yue Fei died, and the entire Yue family army was scattered, and the rebels who originally defected also fought separately, only the guards supported by Xiao Ming were stationed in Yingchang Mansion to the east, and now all the defenses in the entire eastern region were destroyed! Yue Fei's hard work was also in vain!

At this time, the siege of Xuzhou City was fighting fiercely, and the generals under Jin Wushu, such as Shan Kening and Chi Zhanhui, were the leaders of the Jurchen young generation, and they were brave and very good at using their brains, and when they attacked Xuzhou, they actually drove the people to dig earth and ramparts, and attacked the city wall along the lowest place of the eastern city wall of Xuzhou!

When the situation was extremely critical, Liu Qi ordered the east city wall to be set on fire! From the mountains of firewood and grass, the flames of several zhang high burst up, and finally the eastern city wall was completely burned down, and the Song army turned to the inner city to defend! But the Jin soldiers' offensive was still fierce, Liu Qi was struggling to support and wait for reinforcements, and the strong reinforcement close at hand was Xiao Ming's Taiping City!

But the Jin soldiers knew that Xuzhou had the support of Taiping City behind them, and they had already blocked the road between the two cities, making it impossible for the team of Taiping City to transport materials and equipment to Xuzhou at all, but Xuzhou City had tens of thousands of black crossbows supported by Taiping Iron Factory and could barely cope with it, as for the cannons defending the city, it was not nothing, but the Jin soldiers were cunning and always took advantage of the darkness to approach the city wall and then launched an attack to make the cannons useless.

Xuzhou fell into a bitter battle, Ying Tianfu and Yingchang Mansion were not much better, Wu Jue, who was stationed in Ezhou, was temporarily appointed as the envoy of the Jingnan Road at this time, and led his troops west out of Jiangling Mansion to Xiangzhou in the north to fight against Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou in the south, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses! Dajinguo's autumn offensive was very sharp, and this time almost all the enemy fronts were brought into flames.

In the end, the Privy Council sent the first batch of costumed Great Song Dynasty Royal Guards to the front line without completing their training, so that they could exercise in the war.

Relying on the continuous replenishment of materials and personnel from the Weihai base, the Tiger Division troops in Shandong finally carried out a counteroffensive to the west, and Wanyan Changpu was immediately defeated as soon as it came into contact, which made the pressure on the east of Xuzhou suddenly eased, and at the same time, Wu Jue led the Song army to defeat the army of Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou in the first battle, and now Song Jin is in a stalemate on the battlefield!

But at this critical time, the Jin soldiers suddenly withdrew on a large scale, and it turned out that the domestic political situation in the Jin Kingdom was turbulent, and this time they had to withdraw their troops! In fact, the factional struggle between the Jurchen aristocracy has always been fierce. At the beginning of Jin Xizong's accession to the throne, Wanyan Zonghan was deposed as the marshal of the capital and completely cut off the military power. In the third year of Tianhui, Jin Ting killed his cronies Shangshu, Zuo Cheng, Gao Qingyi, etc., and Yan Zonghan died of anger.

Zong Han's death brought about a series of chain reactions, when the Jin State was on the autumn offensive, it began to brew the abolition of the puppet regime of Liu Yu Qi supported by Wanyan Zonghan, and this time directly transferred all the 300,000 horses of the puppet Qi regime to attack the Great Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to draining Liu Yu's strength! So at the end of the year, Liu Yu was called Yanjing to abolish the title of emperor and change to King Yu to temporarily live in Taiyuan!

Immediately after Jin Xizong set up the province of Shangshu in Bianjing, Tianhui four years, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Chang and others controlled the government, and strongly advocated peace with the Song Dynasty, ceded the land of Henan and Shaanxi, and induced the Song to call Jin a vassal. However, not long after, Wanyan Zongbi returned to Yanjing to participate in the political struggle, and the form changed again.

In 1136 A.D., the Jin State changed the name of the country to Tianjuan, and in the first year of Tianjuan, Jin Xizong relied on Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Xiyin, etc., and successively killed Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Chang and others. After Yan Zongbi took control of the military and political power of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin State also began a series of reforms, all adhering to the Han system, and preparing to achieve political pressure on the Great Song Dynasty through the improvement of the country.

In order to strengthen his rule over the Central Plains, after deposing the Liu-Yuqi State, Xizong placed the Tuntian Army and migrated the Khitan and Jurchen people from the northeast into the Central Plains and mixed with the Han people. Grant official land according to households, make industry farming, and give clothes and horses in spring and autumn to help them; In case of going out of the army, Qian Mi will be sent to him. "Where the Tuntian is located, from the south of Yanshan, Huai, and the north of Long. as many as 60,000 people, all of whom were built between the villages."

It also promulgated a new law of imperial unification, with a total of more than 1,000 articles. All these measures played a positive role in accelerating the feudalization of the Jin Dynasty and the acceptance of Han culture. And at this time, the Great Song Dynasty can no longer speak the same day! With the repeated efforts of Xiao Ming and others, they finally completed the military restructuring and preparation first.

So the long-brewing Northern Expedition to the Central Plains finally kicked off ......!
