Chapter 282 Is this official or a subordinate official?
The Yushitai's memorial did not target any individual, nor did it explain who was right or wrong. It only impeached the Lin'an government office, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple for their procrastination in handling affairs. It violated the concept of valuing the people that the imperial court had always advocated. Qian Shuoyou's memorial argued that Personal interests must be subordinated to the overall interests. Although there is no clear definition in the law, when it comes to national interests, individuals should sacrifice themselves. Therefore, Lin'an Government Office is not wrong.
If you want to talk about right and wrong, I guess 99% of the officials will agree with Qian Daoyou's approach. I think.
The laws of the Song Dynasty were mainly derived from the "Da Song Xingtong" formulated in the early Song Dynasty. Its basic ideas followed the Tang Dynasty, but a lot of "compiled edicts" were added. The so-called "compiled edicts" refer to the trial of certain cases. During the process, there was a lack of due legal basis. The judges did not dare to act independently and left it to the emperor to make a decision. The reasons and results of the emperor's decision became the legal basis for similar cases in the future.
Both the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have always believed that this is just a trivial matter. There is no need to include it in the criminal case. There is no need to ask me to "edit" it.
Fortunately, the potential friends did not take drastic actions, and there was no violent law enforcement or violent resistance to the law in later generations. However, the attitude of the Lin'an government office was quite tough. It informed the Tian family that they must move out of Dongkang before November 10th. Square. Otherwise, he will be punished as obstructing the government.
"November 10th. There are still seven days left."
"Yes. Official. There are still seven days left before the deadline set by the Lin'an government office. I don't know what the final result will be."
"Jiu'er, have you ever encountered this kind of thing?"
"Official family. This kind of thing is very common among the people. But Jiu'er has never seen someone like the Tian family insist on it and even appeal to the government for it."
"Jiu'er, put these two memorials aside for now. I'll have to think about them before I deal with them."
Although in my heart I am still a traveler in Huyan Donghai with a dominant civilian consciousness. But I am also the emperor of the Song Dynasty. The way and reasons for handling this kind of thing will most likely form a "compiled edict" and become the legacy of future generations. Legal basis.
It would be very meaningful if starting from me, future generations of rulers could follow my "compiled edicts" to protect the private property of the people.
At the beginning of November, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health were formally established. I appointed Jiang Wanli, the former Minister of Commerce, as the first Minister. Liao Yingzhong was promoted to the second Minister of Commerce. The morning meeting on November 4 was exactly as expected. The memorial from Huainan West Road envoy Xia Gui arrived in Lin'an before the court meeting.
Lu Xiufu came out and reported: "Your Majesty, the Military Council received Sir Xia Gui's six-hundred-mile urgent battle report early this morning. The content is about the detailed battle situation of the Anfeng Army."
"Lu Aiqing. Submit."
The content of the battle report is several times longer than the letter Shen Mo brought back. The battle report is divided into three parts. The first is the detailed process of the Anfeng battle. The battle situation I know is mainly the battle of Xia Gui's death squad in Yangjia Town. A period of time passed. Xia Gui's battle report confirmed that General Wang Sheng attacked the Yangjiaping Pass from the front. Jiang Cai led the Polu Army to storm the north gate of the town. The Polu Army and the Luzhou Army attacked the Mongolian Army and Xia Qing in Yangjiaping from the north and south. The process of joining forces with Miao Zaicheng to defeat the Mongolian army at the south bank base was described in detail. The second part is the statistics of the entire war. This part of the record is very detailed. I read it and said: "Dear sirs .I will tell you about the casualties on both sides in this battle."
"The death squad led by Xia Gui and Xia Aiqing personally lost 362 people and injured 423 people. It was the unit with the highest casualty ratio in the entire battle. It accounted for almost 100% of all the soldiers. Even Xia Aiqing himself was injured.
Slightly injured. Of course. Dare
The dead team is also the key to victory or defeat. The Yangzhou Polu Army led by Jiang Cai injured 317 people and killed 106 people; the other armies in Luzhou suffered a total of 1,729 people.
.788 people died. No one in Shouchun Navy died. Only
Fifty-one wounded. The above are the casualties of our army. The total number is about 4,000. In the Battle of Anfeng, our army killed one enemy captain of ten thousand and four captains of thousands, and captured three enemies alive.
The captain of the army. In this battle, our army killed a total of 6,400 Mongolian troops.
Among them, there are about 1,200 Mongolian soldiers. The rest are enemy soldiers mixed with Han and Jin people. In addition, our army captured a total of 5,770 enemy soldiers, including 13 Mongolian soldiers.
.The rest are Han Chinese and Jin soldiers.”
Although I roughly knew the number of casualties on both sides in advance, when I said this, I couldn't help but praise: "Dear dear friends, our army cost nearly 4,000 casualties in this war. Not only did it recover the land on the south bank of the Huaihe River, but it also killed
There were more than 6,000 enemy troops, and nearly 6,000 were captured. This is indeed the greatest victory our government has achieved in several years."
You must know that in a siege, the cost paid by the defending side is much smaller. But this time it is completely reversed. Although there is a sneak attack element, although most of the enemy troops have just experienced a drinking binge. Although some of the enemy troops have
There are very few Mongolian soldiers, but the result is unique. Military experts will analyze the whole story. What ordinary soldiers and civilians care more about is the outcome. We are heading towards a victorious outcome.
Results are more important than anything else.
The last part is the views of Xia Gui and other generals participating in the battle on this battle, as well as the merit list of each soldier in this battle.
"Teacher."
"The old minister is here."
"Lu Aiqing of the Military Academy and Fan Aiqing of the Ministry of War."
"I'm here."
"Regarding the matter of rewards for soldiers related to the Battle of Anfeng, it was proposed by the two departments of the Military Affairs Council and the Ministry of War under the leadership of the division minister."
"Yes. I obey your order."
Those responsible for this work include the Military Academy, the Ministry of War, and Jia Sidao. However, the Privy Council, which used to be in charge of military power, is missing. This situation has repeatedly appeared in recent military conferences or military reforms. The ministers who are interested in the DPRK have already
I know in my heart that sooner or later the Military Affairs Council will replace the Privy Council. Just like everyone has a tacit understanding that the Government Affairs Council will soon replace the Zhongshu Province.
"Lu Aiqing. The Military Academy will sort out the gains and losses of the Anfeng Battle and report it to me. At the same time, this case will be used as the first test topic for the freshmen of the Royal Military University of the Song Dynasty after admission."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I obey your order."
"Jiang Aiqing, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Education."
"I'm here."
"I will hand over the review function of matters related to the publication of newspapers and other publications to the newly established Press and Publication Department of your ministry. After the meeting, there will be a press conference of the Military Council on the Battle of Anfeng. Please ask the Publishing Department to attend at the same time. And
Let’s notify all major newspaper banks of the rules and regulations of the Publishing Department.”
"Yes. I obey your order."
"Retreat from the court."
Both the Military Affairs Council and the Government Affairs Council are located in Xiaorenfang, between the imperial palace and the original Liubu and Three Provinces. It faces Liubu Bridge to the east.
At 3:30 p.m. (10:30 a.m.), many people from the press and celebrities from all walks of life came to the hall in the front yard of the Military Academy. Almost all reporters and editors from major newspapers in Lin'an were present. This was the second time.
The Military Council recently held its second press conference on the Battle of Anfeng after announcing the victory of Anfeng. It was also the second press conference since the establishment of the Military Council.
The victory in the Battle of Anfeng not only greatly boosted the morale of the Song Dynasty army, but also restored the confidence of the people. The Mongolian cavalry no longer seems as scary as the legend. The soldiers of our dynasty can defeat them.
The press release about the imperial court is also one of my reform measures for the imperial government. I hope to change the image of the imperial court as cowardly and incompetent in the hearts of the people through a series of positive propaganda. The victory in the Battle of Anfeng is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. .
Accompanied by Yuan Ji, Xiao Qi and Lan Yu Shen Mo, I went to Shifeng Commercial Bank and changed into a mask. I quietly blended in with the crowd in the hall of the Military Academy. The reporters who came to attend the press conference were all from Lin'an City. There are about 20 major newspapers, including the Royal Newspaper of the Song Dynasty, the official newspaper of the former imperial court, the longest-running General Newspaper, and Jia Sidao's Fuhua Newspaper. As for those tabloids, they dare not show up. So There are only about thirty people in the press.
The person who served as the master of ceremonies was Secretary Lang of the Ministry of Rites recommended by Ma Tingluan, the Minister of Rites. Fang Shanjing, the imperial examination champion in the third year of Jingding in the Lizong period of Song Dynasty. This Fang Shanjing's father died when he was young. He lived with his mother in his maternal uncle's house. He developed a diligent study. He has the habit of being cautious in his words and deeds. After winning the first prize, he was favored by Ma Tingluan and joined the Ministry of Etiquette. Fang Shanjing was always calm in trouble. This was the case before and after he won the first prize. Because of his good performance, he was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette. His colleagues all thought that he was a talented person. A cultivated and humble gentleman.
"Dear reporters, at the press conference the day before yesterday, the Military Affairs Council announced the victory of the Battle of Anfeng. Today, the court has received a detailed battle report from Mr. Xia Gui, the envoy of Huainan West Road. Now, please invite academicians of the Military Affairs Council, Mr. Lu Xiufu, Minister of War, announced to everyone the details of the Battle of Anfeng." Fang Shanjing said slowly and clearly.
I know that Lu Xiufu has a very good memory. There is no need to use a speech script to announce such news.
"Everyone, this is the great victory of Anfeng. Our army has completely recovered the land on the south bank of the Huaihe River on the Huaihe West Road. Our army suffered nearly 4,000 casualties in this battle. We defeated the Yangjia Town and the Mongolian south bank base defended by more than 10,000 enemy troops. .According to the statistics of the battle situation at the front, the enemy's supreme commander was killed in this battle. The leader of the Mongolian household, Hu Chi, and several thousand captains were killed and captured. More than 6,000 enemy troops were killed and captured. This was the first time that our army attacked during the offensive in several years. We have achieved such great results. If you have any questions, please ask them below. I will answer them again. Of course, if our military secrets are involved, I don’t have to answer them."
"Sir Lu, this is Chen Zhengren, the editor of Lin'an Datongbao. Before I ask the formal question, I would like to ask you a digression. I don't know if it is possible." The first person to ask the question was a senior figure in the Lin'an newspaper industry. He is the number one person in the Lin'an newspaper industry. Chen Zhengren, the editor-in-chief of Datongbao.
Lu Xiufu said: "Why not? Mr. Chen, please."
"Master Lu, I noticed that there is a big difference between the two press conferences. In the last press conference, Master Lu called himself my official. This time, he calls himself a lower official. I don't know what the meaning is."
