How difficult is it to practice the Dharma?

All the yamen in Jinling worked overtime, and the people, merchants, farmers, workers... were asked about the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice has broken up the files accumulated over the years. Although it is definitely not enough to be done in one step, we also strive to be perfect and make up for the shortcomings and check for omissions in the future.

Once the law is completed, it determines the behavioral norms and rules of doing things in the entire empire. Laws are greater than heaven, so you must be cautious.

Hou Xuanyan personally intervened. One is that between officials and businessmen, officials have more than 5,000 taels of corruption, which is the death penalty. The same is true for businessmen evading taxes. In terms of amount and punishment, the integration of officials and businessmen has achieved.

Now that the salary of being an official is so high, everyone respects the status. If you do corruption, you will be born with corrupt officials and must be severely punished.

High salary plus heavy punishments are two sets of chains that Hou Xuanyan avoids collusion between officials and businessmen and uses capital to kidnap politics.

The second point is military power. The emperor can decide to declare war and send troops. The local military power belongs to the commander of the capital, and cannot be stationed for more than four years. The emperor is appointed as the principal of the martial arts hall in various places, and he is the vice principal, who actually manages the martial arts halls in various places.

I didn't dare to move back and forth like this in the past because I was afraid that the soldiers would not know the generals, and the generals would not know the soldiers, so it would be difficult to command the war.

This problem does not exist in the Chinese army today. Thanks to the establishment of the martial arts lecture hall and the complete training of middle and lower-level generals, the commander commanded it like an arm.

The yamen in Jinling were crowded and the officials were busy.

In the Forbidden City, Hou Xuanyan looked at all the first drafts submitted and read them one by one without any effort.

At first I still had the energy to read, but later I was sore and dizzy, and my mind was like cooking porridge, so I had to find someone to read it to myself.

In Chunhe Hall, there was a brass-shaped incense burner. At this time, a refreshing fragrance was floating in the air. When I first smelled it, the fragrance was slightly bitter, and it also had a warm and warm feeling.

Hou Xuanyan was half lying and half sitting, resting his head on Zhou Yujie's plump and fair breasts. Listening to the reciting reading of Qingluan, on the table next to him, the spiritual medicine bit the pen and leaned down, looking at the exact same first draft, waiting to modify the title.

"Whoever treasons, commit rebellion, and create evil books and words to deceive the people will be executed by the main culprit. The grandfather, father, son, grandson, brother and person who live together will be killed regardless of the different surnames and uncles and brothers. No matter the same or different family members, the same or different ages will be held by the age of 16."

Hearing this, Hou Xuanyan frowned and opened his mouth and said, "Change it here. Those who participate in the conspiracy or those who are informed can be punished. The person who reports and exposes them will not only be innocent, but can be rewarded at the discretion of the person."

The spiritual medicine immediately circled it with a cinnabar pen on the first draft, and then wrote the content of Hou Xuan's speech aside.

Qingluan saw that she had finished writing, but she continued to read it.

The four of them worked like this until night, and they were a little tired before they got off.

------

While Jinling was practicing the law, the western mourning had reached a white-hot stage. Yan Yingyuan divided his troops to defend Wuliang Prefecture and Hami, using these two places as bridgeheads, and constantly sent troops to kill and injure the Junggar soldiers and civilians.

The entire western desert is filled with blood, hatred and contradictions are unprecedentedly sharp, and a country that integrates politics and religion is so difficult to deal with, and the whole country is enemies when the fight begins.

In the west of the desert, it was extremely dark and it was extremely late. Baturhun's face was gloomy. Although he unified the entire Wei Lat Alliance and built the Junggar Khanate, his strength was improving by leaps and bounds, he still could not compete with the Chinese army.

These people set up strange formations, which was a killing machine. What was even more terrifying was that they had no less than their own war horses. The cowardly Mongolian herders had already thrown into the arms of the Han people, providing them with countless hard-working Mongolian horses and superb riding warriors.

The Chinese army went back after killing people, which made the entire Khanate panic. This was originally a unique skill of nomadic people, but was learned to the fullest by the Chinese army, mainly Han people.

Tsarist Russian envoys arrived one after another, trying to get Baturhun to agree to Tsarist Russia's direct entry into the country for war.

Although the Chinese army was cruel, Tsarist Russia was not a good bird, and Baturhui knew this very well.

The poor Junggar Khanate, as the last powerful nomadic country, was born among two great gangsters...

Because Tsarist Russia was unable to send a large army, it failed repeatedly in the northern part of the desert. After losing nearly 10,000 heads, the arrogant Cossack cavalry returned in vain.

This made Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich Romanov very angry. In recent years, they have been able to obtain Ukraine by mistake. Not only has their strength increased significantly, their status in the continent has been consolidated or even strengthened, but they have suffered a great loss in the East.

Tsarist Russia's greed for land is not inferior to Hou Xuanyan at all. They cannot tolerate losses in the East and will inevitably have a decisive battle with the Chinese army.

The best battlefield is the Junggar who has never been conquered. Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov has a good plan. He wants to solve this enemy in Junggar, take down Junggar, and extend Tsarist Russia's hand to the long-coveted southern grassland.

Both major powers took Junggar as the peach that they picked out casually, which made Baturhun extremely embarrassed and angry.

Looking at the entire grassland history, Baturhun and his son Galdan were both heroes at the moment. They had vision, courage, and could fight tough battles. If they were in other eras, they would be very likely to establish a powerful Khanate as powerful as the Mongol Yuan.

Unfortunately, now is no longer the era of invincible cavalry. The cannons and muskets of Tsarist Russia and the Chinese army dominate the battlefield. The powerful economy behind the two countries supports the huge army that Junggar could not imagine.

The Junggar Khanate, sandwiched in it, faced an unparalleled dilemma. Baturhun was frowning for days. The excitement and enthusiasm for unifying Qinghai-Tibet and establishing the Junggar Khanate had long disappeared.

A fat and tender sheep was roasted on the charcoal burned in the big tent. A soldier lifted the curtain and came in and clasped his fists and said, "Khan, Tsarist Russia has sent people again, this time it is their cavalry general."

Baturhun waved his hand weakly and said, "Let him wait in the camp for a few days and say I'm not feeling well."

The soldiers took the order out, and the attacks of these Tianhua Army became more and more excessive. They almost left after killing people. They had superior troops, but they were not fighting by themselves.

His army was exhausted and occasionally, if he really chased after him, he would be knocked back by artillery. And the explosives buried in the ground made his cavalry even more frightened.

Landmines such as landmines were also invented by the Han people.

During the Song Dynasty, the Jin army attacked Shanzhou. The Song army used "gunpowder cannons" buried on the ground to blow the golden dog to cry and call her mother. This is the earliest example of using landmines.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Han people created real landmines that used mechanical fire-ignition devices. According to the book "Fire Dragon Sutra" written by Jiao Yu in 1413, the bomb was cast with pig iron, and the medicine was cast on an empty stomach, and the medicine was solid, and the small bamboo tube was inserted into the fire line inside. The long line was used to penetrate the fire trough. The enemy must go to the pit and buried dozens of times in succession. The medicine trough was connected to the steel wheel and the soil was covered, so that the thief did not know. He stepped on the engine and trembled, and the iron block was like flying, and the flames soared into the sky.

"Blasting cannons" is not only the earliest landmines to be suppressed, but also similar to today's "serial mines", and the term "landmines" also emerges from this.

Since we talk about the Ming Dynasty firearms, the genius Qi Jiguang is bound to be indispensable. He invented a "steel wheel fire" landmine. When the enemy stepped on the motive cable, the steel wheel rotated and flint rubbed violently and fired, causing the landmine to detonate.

The arsenal of the Hua Dynasty was renovated and mass-produced, and put into use in the war in western Desert, which caused a headache for the Junggars.

Baturhun sat on a chair covered with animal skins, holding his forehead like a famous statue "thinker". Now his problem is coming...

If you agree to Tsarist Russia enter the Junggar, then the northern line will liberate a large number of military forces and can also receive strong assistance from Tsarist Russia. If you disagree, Tsarist Russia, who is angry, may be attacked by the Chinese army, and then the Junggar will be destroyed.

Although Tsarist Russia has stopped harassing the Northern Line and has provided itself with a large number of gunpowder weapons, he knows the nature of Tsarist Russia best.
