Chapter 1040: Niushou Mountain Hunting
***
The curtain of judicial reform was officially opened, and there were still many reform details to be discussed.
With regard to the criminal department after the split-off and the courts to be established, taking into account the aspects of neutrality, independence, unity, professionalism, openness, and authority, we have taken the trouble to repeatedly consider the system of the yamen structure, personnel selection, supervision and evaluation, appointment and promotion, and strive to achieve the most perfect system.
In particular, special attention is paid to the fact that officials in the judicial department are the first to implement the system of lifelong responsibility, and all cases handled by judges, no matter how much time has passed, as long as problems are discovered, as long as you are not dead, you must be held accountable.
The judicial department is a pilot, and Qin Mu intends to implement this accountability system in some administrative departments after the judicial supervision is perfected.
At this time, the news of the great victory of the ocean-going fleet over the combined Dutch and Mughal fleets in the Indian Ocean was transmitted. Although this battle was fought very hard, it also played out the morale of the Qin army.
And this battle is very significant.
Strictly speaking, the series of naval battles fought in the South China Sea before were all fought at their own doorstep, and Daqin has always had the advantage of time and place.
The battle in the Indian Ocean can be regarded as the first battle of the Great Qin Royal Navy after leaving home, and the opponent is the Dutch fleet, known as the "sea coachman", plus a Mughal imperial fleet with a geographical advantage.
The ocean-going fleet did not have an advantage in terms of time and place, and was even once led into a desperate territory by the enemy by taking advantage of its familiarity with sea conditions. In this case, if the final victory can still be achieved, Qin Mu can finally rest assured against Daqin's navy.
Yes, after this battle, the Royal Navy of Great Qin is truly an adult, and it can be assured that they can travel the four seas.
On the other hand, the significance of this battle. It's definitely not just about seizing maritime dominance of the Indian Ocean for Great Qin. From now on, all maritime powers in Europe must mentally recognize the qualifications of Daqin to become a maritime power and compete with other countries for hegemony in the four seas.
And the threat and deterrence of the Great Qin Navy to them is no longer limited to the Far East, they must face up to the fact that if they become enemies of Great Qin again, will Great Qin's fleet sail directly to their homeland.
Kou can go, and I can go. This ability was established through the Indian Ocean War. In the future, when European countries deal with Great Qin, they must be cautious and reverent.
This pair of missions sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to various European countries. It would be of great help, and when dealing with the Great Qin Missions visiting Europe, they had to consider whether they should choose to be friends with Great Qin or enemies. It is no longer about treating Daqin as a distant legend.
A weak country has no diplomacy, on the contrary, a strong country, its voice, the world must listen.
Qin Mu believed. After the Great Qin delegation arrived in Europe this time, whether it was the former enemy, or the countries that had been repaired again, such as Britain and Portugal, they would attach great importance to it. And give corresponding courtesy.
The mission of the mission to Europe, in addition to lobbying the Roman court for another crusade, was to collect European talents and bring them back to Daqin. Now Daqin is famous in Europe. At the same time, the mission received a higher courtesy, which was very beneficial for them to collect talents, and for Newton, these talents. Qin Mu is still looking forward to it.
In any case, the Spring Festival is coming, and ten days before the Spring Festival, the imperial court will have an annual holiday. As a rule, the emperor will give the ministers a "year-end bonus" before the holiday, and there is money and goods, which is not enough. The cabinet ministers, the seven scholars, and the various princes of state also received an additional mink coat of great value.
Of course, this kind of thing is more meaningful than practical, and most ministers do not wear it after receiving the reward, but offer it at home, as if it were a family heirloom.
On the first day of annual leave, Qin Mu also put down military and political affairs and took his guards to Niushou Mountain to hunt.
Niushou Mountain is more than 20 miles away from Nanjing City, and is named because of "looking at the two peaks from afar, such as the horns of the ox".
Niushou Mountain is also known as Tianque Mountain ("Que" is the tower or stele workshop erected on both sides of the palace gate), which is just like the two towers in front of the imperial capital of Nanjing.
Yue Fei once defeated the Jin Wushu in the area of Niushou Mountain and Hanfu Mountain, and the anti-Jin stronghold is still there. At the same time, Buddhism is flourishing on the mountain, it is the birthplace of Buddhist Niutou Zen, there are Hongjue Temple and Hongjue Temple Tower which was built in the Tang Dynasty.
With Niushou Mountain as the main body, connecting Cuiping in the north, connecting the ancestral hall in the south, there are induction springs, Hupao springs, white turtle ponds, Tushi rocks, Wenshu caves, Bizhi caves, Hanxu Pavilions, Diyong springs, drinking horse pools and other scenery, Nanjing City has always had the proverb of "spring ox head, autumn perched in Xia". Niushou Yanlan is a scene of Jinling.
Qin Mu rode a horse covered with dark clouds and snow, dressed in a dark cloud leopard, and swept through the mountains and mountains at the turn of winter and spring, changing the usual image of civility and politeness, as if he had returned to the battlefield full of flames, galloping across the sky, and was extremely happy.
Agul followed from a distance, although she was a princess, but Kazakhstan was a nomadic country, and she was a princess who also learned to ride a horse when she was a child.
She was fifteen years old, and she was known as the flower of Kazakhstan, and she grew as pure and beautiful as a snow lotus.
It's just that since she was sent to the Great Qin Palace, the emperor has always ignored her, as if she, the Kazakh princess, the future queen of the Ottoman Empire, is an ordinary palace maid.
Today, the emperor went hunting and suddenly brought her, which surprised Agul very much.
Next to the White Turtle Pond, Qin Mu, who had galloped to his heart's content, stopped his war horse. His archery skills stink, saying that he came to hunt, but in fact, he came to run horses and have fun to relax his nervous nerves.
There is a thousand-year-old pine tree by the white turtle pond, towering to the sky, a tree is verdant, and the pine waves are bursting. Qin Bi sat under the pine tree and beckoned to Agul from afar, who hurriedly hit the horse and came over.
Qin Mu looked at his graceful figure, as if he saw a beautiful sika deer running closer.
Aguli jumped off her horse and bowed to him, "What do you command?" ”
"Sit down." Qin Mu pointed to the stones beside him and said casually.
Aguli dared to disobey, so she had to sit obediently on the stone beside him. Her appearance has the unique beauty of a Kazakh woman, wearing a white fur collar mink coat, and her slender figure is outlined and convex, which is very graceful and moving.
"How comfortable are you staying in the palace?" Qin Mu casually folded off a grass stem, put it in his mouth and chewed it casually.
Aguli is usually in the palace, and occasionally can see him from afar, feeling that he is very majestic, but I didn't expect him to chew grass stems at will. In her opinion, chewing grass stems is more "civilian", and it is difficult for people to associate with the majestic emperor.
Aguli wanted to laugh inexplicably, and her mood relaxed a little: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine lives well." ”
"Concubine? Who made you call yourself that? ”
"Huh?" Aguli was startled, and hurriedly got up and bowed, "Please forgive me, when I entered the palace, it was the female official who taught me etiquette that made me call myself so in front of Your Majesty." ”
"Sit down, sit down, the concubine will be the concubine, don't be nervous. By the way, you must be sad that my generals didn't make you the queen of the Ottoman Empire, right? ”
"No, no, the concubine didn't want to marry the Ottomans in the first place."
"Oh?" Qin Mu didn't expect her to answer, and looked at her curiously. Aguli looked embarrassed, and shame quickly spread to her beautiful cheeks, just like a newly-blooming rose.
"Your Majesty, Kazakh does not mean to be an enemy of Great Qin"
"But you invaded the Moxi grassland."
"That was originally the place of Dzungaria, Dzungaria invaded our Kazakhs first, my father Khan just"
"Your father Khan knows very well that Dzungaria was defeated by my army, and the Moxi grassland is already the territory of Great Qin, and he also sent troops to invade, isn't this an enemy of Great Qin?"
"This"
"Your Majesty, please forgive my father Khan, even if my father Khan is wrong, he is also lucky for a while, and he has no intention of really being an enemy of Daqin, please forgive him."
Kazakh Khan Sal Hamu. Yang Ji'er was captured by Su Jin and taken to Nanjing, his life and death were all in Qin Mu's thoughts, Aguli had long wanted to intercede for his parents, but he had no chance;
Today, it was rare to have the opportunity to be alone with Qin Mu, so she hurriedly bowed down in front of Qin Mu and begged softly.
