The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 401 Xiangyang Simulation Battle

Chen Wenlong was ordered to make a long speech: "Your Majesty, the laws of our dynasty are the most complete since the development of human beings. The first emperor Taizu Taizong attached great importance to the construction of laws, and made special details for the provisions of the laws. Since Emperor Gaozong Since the southward journey, the law has become more perfect. It can be said that there is nothing in this dynasty that cannot be ruled out. The legal system is becoming more and more complete, but our dynasty is getting lower and lower, and even becomes a "litigator" in the hearts of the government, and is rejected by the mainstream society."

"I think there are two main reasons for this. One is that most of the officials in our dynasty have studied the law. Since Wang Anshi's reform, the content of the imperial examination has been reformed, and the law has become a must for every candidate. In this way, as officials with a higher social status, they themselves have legal knowledge, so there is no need for lawyers to provide legal services for them. In the eyes of officials, if they understand the law themselves, lawyers are superfluous Therefore, the service objects of litigators are limited to the common people, and they represent this large group of people and officials to debate, which leads to the rejection of litigators in the mainstream society. In order to obtain more litigation fees, sometimes there will even be a situation where the litigants of both parties conspire, causing unwarranted losses to the financial resources and energy of the parties, and at the same time prolonging the time for the government to decide the case. Therefore, most officials believe that the litigants only It will increase their workload, and the harm outweighs the benefit, which is why the first emperors, Guangzong and Xiaozong, vigorously rectified the practice of litigators."

As the head of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Chen Wenlong has naturally done special research on the law and related litigants.

"What about Chen Aiqing's conclusion?"

"Your Majesty once said that people-oriented and rule the country according to the law. For the common people, they need litigators when they encounter lawsuits. Therefore, I think that if the practice of litigators is institutionalized and included in the scope of the law, the law will give them corresponding responsibilities. and rights, for example, litigators implement an access system, and if they violate it, their qualifications will be disqualified. In this way, maybe you can try it. Your Majesty, since litigants have existed for thousands of years, it is better to legalize them to avoid officials unilaterally The understanding of the law can reduce various unfair judgment results. At the same time, the mediation system can be improved, and some trivial matters that do not need to be prosecuted can be mediated. A special organization with the county as the center, coordinating with governments at all levels to mediate ordinary civil disputes, "

After Chen Wenlong finished speaking, everyone continued to discuss, you said something to each other, quoted the past and discussed the present, sometimes they talked happily, and sometimes they argued with red faces.

,,,,,.

Judging from the speeches in the main hall, there are still many people who oppose the system of litigators, although many people think so after hearing Chen Wenlong's point of view.

The issue of lawyers is an ideological issue. Although Chinese lawyers are earlier than Western lawyers, they have been unable to enter the classroom. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, the lawyer industry developed rapidly and formed the so-called litigation. There were various drawbacks, which aroused Song Guangzong's dissatisfaction, so he was not recognized by the court.

The various laws of the Song Dynasty were the most perfect in ancient times. As Chen Wenlong said, there was nothing lawless in this dynasty. Many of the laws and regulations were listed and still used in later generations. For example, the mediation system originated in the Song Dynasty. It has been carried forward, but it is a blank in the law as to whether the litigator is legal.

I reached out my hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Dear dear friends, lawyers have existed for 2000 years. The so-called existence is reasonable. Under extremely difficult conditions, lawyers can still survive and develop, which shows that lawyers have a certain role. Yes, Wen Tianxiang, Wen Aiqing, and Jiaxuan Weng Jiaaiqing, with regard to the litigator industry, led by the Department of Law, held a special meeting to discuss the pros and cons of it, whether there is a way to overcome or eliminate the drawbacks, and what is the impact on the development of society? What's the use, and you can also open up a column in the newspaper, so that everyone in the world can discuss it."

"Yes, I will obey the order,"

"Qian Aiqing, since you proposed this matter, you should also give me a detailed memorial. As for the trial of the jury system, it will be temporarily suspended."

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

"As for the matter of the litigator, let's stop here for now. In a few days, the military meeting of this year will be held first. Are the Military Affairs Council and the Ministry of War ready?"

"Already prepared,"

"Okay, step back,"

A few days later, the military conference at the end of the second year of Xianchun was officially held. The representatives of the military regions participating in this year's military conference clearly felt the difference from last year.

At the meeting attended by the Guangnan, Sichuan, and Miaojia Military Regions, I elaborated on the current situation and assigned the tasks of each military region.

The Sichuan Military Region is likely to become one of the centers of the Song-Mongolian War, so I asked Gundam and Zhang Jue to take advantage of the steep terrain and numerous mountain passes in central Sichuan, relying on the city, and set up more ambush points, with the primary task of destroying the vital forces of the Mongolian army. However, it is not allowed to attack at will, and it is not allowed to engage in field battles with the Mongols. Zhang Jue, who guards Chongqing, must keep abreast of the movements of the Mongolian navy, and must not let the opponent's navy cross the waters of Chongqing.

Both Gundam and Zhang Jue are experienced generals, so they are clear about the tasks I have given them.

The main task of the Guangnan Military Region and the Miaojia Military Region next year is to train troops. In addition to improving the quality of individual soldiers, they will also conduct comprehensive offensive-oriented technical and tactical training. They will be on standby at any time to attack the Mongolian garrison in Dali.

During the meeting, Lu Xiufu introduced the use of various techniques and tactics, and re-discussed the research results of the Academy of Military Affairs and the Ministry of War and representatives of the three major military regions in the past month.

Among the representatives who came to Lin'an, apart from Hong Yuan, many of them were old men in the army. Even Fan Wenhu, the often-defeated general, greatly appreciated Lu Xiufu's tactical arrangements. Commander Bu Luo asked questions more frequently. Among the two, Ma Ji asked more carefully about defensive tactics, while Bu Luo asked questions about offense. Ma Ji came from Dianqian battalion and was proficient in military affairs. , Bu Luo was a young general of the former Guangnan Xilu Xiang Army. After the disbandment of the Xiang Army, Fan Wenhu returned to his hometown. When Fan Wenhu recruited troops in the local area, he recruited many Zhuang people. Appointed as the Deputy Commander of Xiang, this time, Long Zaitian, another commander of the Guangnan Military Region, stayed behind, and Fan Wenhu brought Ma Ji and Bu Luo to Lin'an to attend the meeting.

As for the Miao Family Military Region, after Wang Lixin arrived, Hong Yuan handed over all the military affairs to the resourceful Wang Lixin, and the Miao Family Military Region was the only two of them who came to this meeting.

During the spare time of the meeting, I summoned Fan Wenhu and Hong Yuan alone, told them about the recent situation of Sheliwei, and asked them to keep an eye on Dali's movements at any time, and provide weapons, food and other materials.

Relatively speaking, the military conferences of Xiangyang, Yangzhou, and Luzhou military regions held a few days later were much more complicated. There are two main reasons. The issue of unity of command.

After listening to the work reports of the three major military regions, Lu Xiufu immediately analyzed the current situation and the requirements of the Military Affairs Council and the Ministry of War for each military region. It involves two aspects. First, let’s discuss how to fight the Xiangyang battle in the future.”

"Look, everyone," I pointed to the sand table beside me and said, "This is a military sand table in Xiangyang. To increase practicality, I will divide you into the attacking side and the defending side, and do a simulated actual combat. Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan,"

"The minister is here,"

"You are the defenders, and your military strength is your current strength. The red flags on the sand table indicate that Xia Gui and Li Tingzhi are the two of you who are the attackers. According to the public number of the Mongolian Central Route Army, there are 15 people. Qi said that the flags on the sand table are the approximate distribution of the existing military strength of the two sides,"

Li Tingzhi took a slight look, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, why is there a blue army stationed in Lumen Mountain in the southeast of Xiangyang City?"

I saw Lu Wende smiled awkwardly, and also said with a smile: "Li Aiqing, this is what I mean. Regardless of the reason, the Mongols are building earthen walls around Lumen Mountain, so they can garrison troops."

Li Tingzhi gave a soft thank you, and thoughtfully said: "Your Majesty, the city of Xiangyang is strong. If the minister is the main attack, there is only one way, and that is to trap Xiangyang to death instead of destroying Xiangyang in one fell swoop. Look, there are four main passages between Xiangyang and the outside, one is blocked by the Lumen Mountain in the southwest of the city, the second is the Baihekou area in the northeast of the city, the third is the Baizhang Mountain area in the west, and the fourth is the Han River. The waterway, now that Lumen Mountain is under the control of the Blue Army, I will first garrison Baihe City with heavy troops, build a mountain fort, and connect it with Baizhang Mountain, completely cut off the land connection between the northwest and southeast of Xiangyang and our dynasty, and use This is a bait, let the Red Army or Red Army reinforcements come to seize it, set up an ambush along the road, you can give full play to the blue army's field capabilities, and eliminate the Red Army or reinforcements coming from the city. Against the Red Army Navy, although the Blue Army Navy is relatively weak, barriers such as barriers can be set up at Guanzi Beach where the water surface is narrow, or a solid platform can be built with a crossbow on it to block the Red Army's waterway. Just keep the Red Army’s rescue troops and supplies from entering, so Xiangyang will definitely become an isolated city.”

Lu Wende said: "Your Majesty, although Master Li's words are extremely reasonable, even if Xiangyang is an isolated city, I can guarantee that it will not be broken by the Blue Army. As long as Xiangyang can hold back the main force of the Blue Army, Your Majesty can send troops and generals. Anti-siege from the outside,"

Li Tingzhi said: "The effect that the blue army wants is also here. The red army has reinforcements, and they are in the arms of the blue army. They will use their plan to surround the spot and send reinforcements."

"This,,,,," Lu Wende hesitated, "That means Kublai Khan and His Majesty wanted to go together,"
