Chapter 904: The Feast Begins

******

The purpose of Qin Muxiu's "History of Qin" was mainly to use history as evidence to explain the legitimacy of his inheritance of the first emperor's legal system. Therefore, this "History of Qin" not only has the pre-Qin part, but also continues to the process of his seventy-three generations of grandchildren rising again.

Using a "History of Qin" to connect the pre-Qin and the current Great Qin is still Yang Zhi's inspiration to Qin Mu. In the past, on many occasions, he claimed that he inherited the legal system of the first emperor, but that was always unconvincing, and there was a "History of Qin" as a link, which was justified.

The reason for this is that in fact, it is necessary to use history books to deny the previous dynasties and at the same time prove the rationality of winning the world.

This kind of situation seems a bit incredible in later generations, but in ancient times, it was the most effective and easiest way to be recognized by the people of the world, so the dynasties were so keen on revising history.

Of course, this "History of Qin" indicates at the beginning that this is only the upper part. As for when the lower part will be repaired, that is the business of the monarchs of later generations.

Qin Mu was anxious to revise this "History of Qin", in addition to correcting his own name, he also had an important purpose, that is, to correct the rule of law in the pre-Qin period.

The rule of law in the pre-Qin period has been criticized for more than a thousand years. And Qin Mu came from later generations, so he naturally knew that the wheel of history would eventually change to a legal society.

Without the restraint of the legal system, in addition to the difficulty of ensuring social order, the abuse of state power is often one of the reasons for the collapse of the country.

Qin Mu wanted to promote judicial reform, which in itself was a phased step to promote the gradual transition of Daqin to a legal society. It will be a very long process to finally enter a society governed by the rule of law.

In order to promote reform, it is necessary to first correct the name of "Qin Law", and in the more than 1,000 years of exclusive respect for Confucianism, Legalism has suffered too many unfair criticisms.

It is very necessary to revise a "History of Qin" to correct the unfair view of Legalism in the past.

When he decided to revise the "History of Qin", Qin Mu emphasized it to Huang Daozhou and others. It is necessary to look at the Qin Law from an objective point of view. In this way, he was not at ease, and often summoned Huang Daozhou, Liu Zongzhou, and Fu Qingzhu to inquire about the progress;

Regarding the part of Qin Fa, sometimes because of different views, the three stinky and hard guys in the zodiac Zhou did not hesitate to fight with Qin Mu.

In addition to presenting facts and reasoning, no matter how fierce the reaction of the three people was, Qin Mu never used this to offend the three of them.

If Qin Mu has always been a weak person, then it is a different matter. But in fact, his style of acting as an emperor has always been tough, and Huang Daozhou and others are even ready to be demoted.

However, in this matter, Qin Mu has always adhered to the bottom line of not being silent and sinful. did not use the emperor's authority to force pressure, but bitterly debated with the three of them one by one.

Although Huang Dao was not convinced, he was secretly moved in his heart in the face of the emperor's attitude.

Qin Mu could actually remove the three of them and replace them with someone else to revise the history, but in this way, the "History of Qin" would not be very convincing.

Just like the Yuan Dynasty's Tuo Buhua and others, who made a living on horseback and had just learned to hold a pen. came to preside over the revision of the "History of the Song Dynasty", which was naturally controversial.

When Zhu Di later revised the "Yongle Canon", he also deliberately asked people to recompile the "Song Hui Manuscript". Historians generally admit that the Yongle Dynasty's "Song Hui Yao Manuscript" is more in line with historical facts than the "History of the Song Dynasty" revised by Totobuhua and others. More convincing.

Therefore, it is not feasible to change people to revise the "History of Qin" at will, and Qin Mu can only argue with them again and again to correct the name of Qin Law.

In addition to the History of Qin, there is another thing that is very important. That was the issuance of paper dragon coins, which was decided to issue three million dragon coins by the ministers at the court meeting on this day. Qin Mu was solemn and heavy. Playing music from Taichang Temple, taking the Chinese military officials of the court, out of the Great Qin Gate, to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heavens.

Thank God for blessing the world with good weather and good weather, abundant crops and prosperous industries. Therefore, Great Qin needed more currency to circulate, and after the emperor and the Beijing officials above the seventh rank discussed together, they passed the resolution of issuing an additional three million dragon coins, and came to pray to the heavens.

This matter was made grand and sacred, and Qin Mu originally wanted to raise this matter to a sacred level in order to restrain future monarchs from printing paper money. But unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain, that is, the people's recognition of the newly issued paper dragon coins was very high.

This is a currency that the emperor took hundreds of officials to the Temple of Heaven to pray to Heaven in person, and only issued it after obtaining God's permission, but it was not issued indiscriminately on a whim. Feeling this, the people are naturally much more relieved about the credibility of paper dragon coins.

In addition, in the past two or three years, the imperial court has strongly supported the treasure copy and not depreciated, so after the issuance of the three million paper dragon coins, it was very popular with the people, and there was no longer a phenomenon that the people refused to accept the Great Qin treasure banknotes when they were issued.

And the officials of the DPRK and China are also very knowledgeable, no one immediately mentioned yƬ to print banknotes, and whoever dared to make such a concert, Qin Mu had to demote him to Beihai to herd sheep.

Judicial training for county officials at all levels and counties has begun to be carried out in an all-round way in all provinces across the country.

Therefore, no matter what disagreement the local officials had, Qin Mu saw it and tried his best to implement it.

At the same time, the war in the southwest distracted the attention of the officials of the DPRK and China on a large extent, and good news continued to come, especially Cui Feng's progress was very rapid, and the third prince of Zhu, who Qin Mu was worried about, was driven to the Dongwu country at once;

With such a level, not to mention that he is an unconfirmed prince, even an emperor like Zhu Youlang who has officially ascended the throne, after exile abroad, his influence will be greatly weakened, which makes Qin Mu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, we will wait to see the naval and land armies beat Dongwu and Jiaozhi fiercely.

For this war, Qin Mu was mentally prepared to fight a protracted war, and did not expect the naval and land armies to fully pacify the entire Indochina Peninsula in the short term.

Therefore, whether it is the navy or the army, if the conditions are not ripe, it will be like the Manchu Qing Dynasty when it entered the customs, and it will be a kind of predatory war, plundering as much as the rich population can plunder, and it will even make the entire Indochina Peninsula deserted.

In addition to leaving a part of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet for daily patrols of the sea and frontiers, more than half of the warships have already set sail and are heading for the coast of Jiaozhi.

Wang Guichen, who had just occupied the Boni Kingdom, had no choice but to get out of his body for the time being.

And Hai Rufeng, who was far away in Jinghai Province, couldn't sit still, and his ocean-going fleet had thirty flying scissor warships, which were the most powerful. Now the feast of the navy has begun again, and the fleets are rushing to enjoy a good meal with knives and forks. The ocean-going fleet also received combat missions, but was dragged to Jinghai Province due to the rebellion in Surabaya, how can this work?

The navy soldiers who are idle in Baiqi Port every day are now a bomb, and they have gone to the city hall to ask for battle, and the bright and spacious city hall is often surrounded by soldiers.

Ke Chenshu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and after blasting away the guys outside the hall who were shouting non-stop, he asked Hai Rufeng and said, "Admiral Hai, how is this good?" ā€

Hai Rufeng spread his hands and said: "What can I do, I can't leave the mess in Surabaya alone, let's go to the Indochina Peninsula together." ā€

"It's better to do this, leave some marines to cooperate with the servant army, hold the plain area first, and let Basha toss for a while, let's go to the Indochina Peninsula for a walk first."

Hai Rufeng hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, it's not good to pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons, now the rebellion of the indigenous people in Jinghai is rising, and only a little marines are left, I'm afraid that the surrounding areas of Baiqi City will not be able to be suppressed by then." ā€

"Admiral Hai doesn't have to worry, isn't there still more than 10,000 servants? It doesn't matter if they kill each other for a while. ā€

Hai Rufeng thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty's meaning, it is not that we want to conquer the Indochina Peninsula at one time, so we don't have to go so many people, so let's leave it to Jinghai Province to you, and I will bring twenty clippers to go." Leave 3,000 troops for you, and that's no problem. ā€

The ocean-going fleet, including the Marine Corps, has a total of 5,500 people, and leaving 3,000 men and horses in Baiqi City is indeed enough. In the past, the Spanish controlled Luzon and the Dutch controlled Java and Sumatra, and where did they have so many troops.

Ke Chenshu wanted to go by himself, but Hai Rufeng said it first, and he could only roll his eyes secretly, forget it, catching the natives in Jinghai for silver, and arresting him for hundreds of thousands, that would also be a great achievement.

"Now that Admiral Hai has decided, what else does the Admiral have to say?"

"Hahaha, Lao Ke, it's not the first time to conquer the Indochina Peninsula, it's your turn next time."
