"This is also the original intention of Da Qin's law."
"Eating means working hard and getting paid means merit. If you are capable, you must do it."
"When the Qin Dynasty was founded, the First Emperor said that there should be laws and regulations for everything."
"Because of this, Qin has always attached great importance to popularizing the law since King Shang's reform. Understanding the law is actually an urgent need of the people of Qin, and this is exactly the responsibility of judges."
"Shang Jun said: The officials know that the people know the law, so the officials dare not violate the law against the people, and the people dare not break the law to interfere with the judges. When the people do not follow the law, they ask the judge, and the judge will accuse them of legal crimes, and the people will
Use the words of the judge to warn the officials. The officials know this, so the officials dare not encounter the people illegally, and the people dare not break the law..."
Qin Luoheng listened quietly.
Da Qin has always tacitly allowed the people and officials to supervise each other.
In Shang Yang's view, after the people understand the law from the judges, they are no longer afraid of the oppression of the officials, and they dare not break the law casually. When the officials know that the people understand the law, they will not dare to bully them casually. Therefore, spreading the law to the people is equivalent to providing peace and harmony to the people.
The officials each received vaccinations.
As Qin Luoheng said before, 'the people are not fully informed' and 'the people are not fully virtuous', so judges are particularly important in the Da Qin system. In the Da Qin system, judges are relatively independent and directly take orders from the Yushifu.
Other official positions are more neutral,
Therefore, judges are the mediator between people and officials!
Also because judges receive all kinds of lower-class people on a daily basis, they must be extremely familiar with the law, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with all kinds of people. The local judges must go to the Yushifu every year to check the legal provisions, and at the same time update the "
Legal Questions and Answers!
Most of the modifications to the laws of Daqin came from the suggestions of judges.
Ying Zheng continued: "The laws of the Qin Dynasty are indeed somewhat harsh, but the system of ranks and continuous sittings that are opposed by the outside world is not strictly enforced. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the First Emperor did intend to rectify it, but for some reasons, it was not implemented. Otherwise,
How can the escaped remnants of the Six Kingdoms remain at large?"
Ying Zheng didn't say much about this.
Changing the topic, he mentioned the bamboo slips on Qin Luoheng's case and asked: "I just saw the bamboo slips on your big case, but it said something about the Xiongnu and Baiyue. The Xiongnu can understand that the army has already
It's been more than a month since I traveled north, how did you find out about Baiyue?"
Qin Luoheng smiled and said:
"When I was in Lishan, I saved a person."
"The man's name was Wu Rui, and he was a descendant of King Wu Fu Chai. He killed the escaped prisoner leader and was rewarded with two levels of honor, so he returned to Wu County. After he returned, he happened to be attacked by Baiyue, so he
He mentioned a few things in his reply to me."
Ying Zheng slightly raised his forehead.
He glanced at the table and said with a normal expression: "Since you have a certain understanding of the North and the South, then tell me your views on the war between the North and the South."
Qin Luoheng thought for a while.
He said in a deep voice:
"In terms of war, Da Qin will definitely win!"
"But in terms of governance, it may be a little tricky."
Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng and asked calmly: "Do you know why the court insists on attacking the Xiongnu?"
Qin Luoheng said:
"The Xiongnu can threaten Qin."
Ying Zheng said without comment:
"Now that Wang Jian and Meng Wu have died of illness, Wang Ben is in a coma, and an army of 200,000 people from the south is deep in the South China Sea. In addition, there are turmoils in various places due to land affairs in the six regions of Shandong. Therefore, the Xiongnu wants to bite me, the Qin Dynasty."
"This time the Huns are marching south with all their troops!"
"But there is actually no way to avoid this battle. The imperial court has long expected it and has always been prepared. It is actually expected that the troops will march north this time."
"There are people in the DPRK who are opposed to it."
"But they don't understand the Huns."
"Some people in the court suggested sending the Xiongnu fine clothes and food to maintain their neighbors, in an attempt to reduce the Xiongnu's aggressiveness, but this method is not advisable."
"The Qin Dynasty originated from the border. It had many dealings with nomads and knew their habits very well. There is no problem in applying the suggestions of these ministers to countries such as Zhao, Wei, and Han, but it will not work to the Xiongnu."
"The Qin Dynasty pursued farming warfare, while the Xiongnu and other nomads pursued pastoral warfare!"
"The two are not the same system. If you want the Xiongnu to cooperate with the Qin Dynasty, you are simply seeking the skin of a tiger. The gain outweighs the loss. The Xiongnu will not agree. These nomads have been harassing, harassing, and attacking China for a long time. In fact, it is very normal."
"Maybe you're a little confused."
"But it's true!"
"You have never been in power, so you can't see many things clearly. The grassland is lacking in resources. It seems to be a vast area with few people, but in fact it cannot support too many people. In order to survive, they can only go south to plunder resources and maximize their military advantage.
, is actually an inevitable choice for nomadism!”
"During these six hundred years, Yan, Zhao, and I, Da Qin, have been dealing with these nomads. Before Shang Jun's reform, Da Qin actually didn't have much advantage over the Yi and Di in the west.
.”
"The same goes for Zhao Yan."
"The world only knows that King Wuling of Zhao's Hu-clad cavalry and archery, but they don't know why the Zhao Kingdom had such a change, because to a certain extent, the country of farming and war does not actually have any advantage over the nomads of pastoral war."
"Even a disadvantage!"
"The reason is also very simple. Nomads fight and run, and war or peace is all decided by nomads. Therefore, the cost of defending nomads in a country fighting for farming is very high, and the cost of fighting them out is even higher, because the grassland is large and deep.
The population is small and it is not easy to catch up.”
"Nomads are not afraid of fighting a war of attrition and protracted war with you."
"He can afford it!"
"Many courtiers in the court were very naive, thinking that by establishing good relations with the Huns and conducting trade, the two families could live in peace, but they simply did not understand that the Huns were barbarians, and they would not be willing to trade even if they were short of things.
"
"They only steal!"
"The ancestor of Qin Feizi founded Qin. At that time, he was very poor. He had no land, no one, no copper, and no salt. If he wanted to survive, he had to fight against the Yi and Di in the west, the Jin in the east, and the Qin in the east.
The Zhou royal family robbed."
“Because it’s the best deal to grab one!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you really trade with other countries, you will find that the prices of the other countries' things will only become more and more expensive, and the fur resources in your hands will become cheaper and cheaper.
The other side will also become more and more aggressive, and the only way to break the situation is also the only solution."
“It’s just a robbery!!!”
"Da Qin is called the Qin of tigers and wolves by the countries in Shandong, and it is called barbarian. It is not without reason. It is precisely because we, Da Qin, grew up in this way, so Da Qin knows the details of the Xiongnu and wants to live with such neighbors. The ancestors of Da Qin only gave
There is a way."
"kill!!!"
"Only when the Xiongnu who are killed are scared, the Xiongnu who are killed are frightened, and the Xiongnu who are killed dare not covet again, will Northern Xinjiang usher in true stability."
"Dealing with Nomads."
"A spear is always more useful than a theory!"
"This time the army is heading north, and it is clearing the holes in Liting!"
"This is the first time."
"But it won't be the last time."
"The ultimate goal of Great Qin is to completely annihilate the Xiongnu in the grassland through northern expeditions again and again, so that the surrounding areas can no longer threaten the existence of Great Qin."
"It's just like the Qin State destroyed the Yi and Di!"
"Hu trouble?"
"Great Qin will only choose to use spears to deal with it!"
Looking at the Qin official who was speaking more and more forcefully and domineeringly, Qin Luoheng's mind wavered. He originally thought that the imperial court was attacking the Huns just because the Huns went south to disturb the border. He never thought that the imperial court was thinking so deeply.
so far away.
Qin started from the border by conquering Yi and Di, so Qin knew the habits of the Xiongnu very well. The wolves could not be fed well. If you want the wolves to be obedient, you can only use force. If you beat the wolves, they will not dare to show their teeth at you.
Only after being deterred by force can the wolf be tamed into an obedient dog!
Da Qin knows this well!
Qin Luoheng praised: "The court has a far-sighted vision."
Ying Zheng shook his head and said:
"It's not far-sighted. The Beiyuan Road has not yet been built, and there are still some difficulties in the supply of grain and grass. In this Northern Expedition, even if plowing and clearing holes are really achieved, it can only solve temporary problems. If we want to completely wipe out the Xiongnu, it will take a long time.
A short time.”
Ying Zheng is very sober.
He knows more information than the outside world.
He knew the details of the current Xiongnu very well. The Xiongnu were no longer the Xiongnu in the past. The current Xiongnu merged with the Donghu, Beihu, Linhu, Loufan and other tribes, and their strength had grown to the point that even the Qin Dynasty could not underestimate them.
This time the Xiongnu even claimed to have an army of 500,000 going south.
but.
Ying Zheng is not afraid either.
When it comes to war, Da Qin has never been afraid.
What he cares about now is how many Huns he can kill.
If these 500,000 troops could be completely wiped out, the Xiongnu would not be able to recover within a hundred years. And how could the weakened Xiongnu suppress the Hu tribes below? There would be too much room for manipulation by the Qin Dynasty.
But Ying Zheng also knew it.
Total annihilation is almost unrealistic.
Think of this.
Ying Zheng thought of Wang Ben.
Regarding the war with the Huns, the court had already decided on it, but the original commander was actually Wang Ben. Wang Ben was good at cavalry raids and was familiar with the geography of the north. It was actually most suitable for Wang Ben to lead the army. However, Wang Ben was suffering from a hidden disease at the time.
Now he is still unconscious.
Ying Zheng continued:
"I read the idea on your bamboo slip. You suggested that after the Northern Expedition, the army should go to sweep up the Huns from time to time. The idea is good, but it is a bit unrealistic. The grassland is very large. Relying on sweeps from time to time will not only place high demands on the army.
, and it consumes a lot of resources.”
"If we fail repeatedly, it will be a waste of national power."
"Do you know how Great Qin dealt with nomads in the past?"
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
Ying Zhengdao:
"Qin has four fortresses."
"They are Donghangu, Xidasanguan, Nanwuguan, and Beixiaoguan."
"There was a joke in Guanzhong at that time that said, 'If the four passes are consolidated, Qin will be prosperous; if the four passes are lost, Qin will be destroyed.'"
"Although this sentence is somewhat absurd, it also illustrates the importance of the four fortresses."
"Now that the Xiongnu has become a phenomenon and will be difficult to destroy in a short time, Great Qin will build another 'Xiao Pass' in northern Xinjiang to defend against the Xiongnu!"
"Advance can be the pioneer of the Qin Dynasty, and retreat can ensure the stability of the Qin Dynasty!"
"This 'Xiao Pass' will push the Qin Great Wall in Lintao northward to Jiuyuan, and then connect to the Great Wall of the Qin, Zhao, and Yan Kingdoms, and finally reach Liaodong. If it is completed, this pass will stretch for more than ten thousand miles and become an unprecedented ancient pass.
