Chapter 232 Dement
Mankind must have invented exile before he invented the prison. In ancient times, expelling someone from the tribe was exile. Once a person is separated from the environment and place he has been used to for a long time, it seems to be understood by people for a long time. Although this place is not a thousand miles of ice, but an oasis of grass, you will always feel that everything is wrong, out of place, difficult to live in peace, like a temporary deal with it, not a long-term plan.
China's history of implementing the exile system is far greater than that of any country in the world. At least in terms of legal provisions, the exile system has been implemented as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After the founding of the Chinese Empire, as early as the period of the ruling axe, the Chinese Criminal Code (Draft) formulated by the ruling axe, once again The article of exile is determined in the form of law. According to this provision, any prisoner sentenced to more than three years in prison will be exiled as an exile.
For China, to some extent, exiles are a tool to enrich the border areas. Xinjiang Province, the four parts of Outer Mongolia, Tangnu Wulianghai, Northeast China and Xichuan and other regions need a large number of exiles. Compared with any dynasty, the ruling axe and the subsequent Chinese Empire have created a new high in China's exile history, as many as More than 13 million people were exiled.
These exiles are more of a kind of "historical crimes". More than 20,000 Han military flag people were exiled, but all those whose ancestors wrote in the "loyal ministers record" of the Qing Dynasty were exiled as "after the anniamity of the Han Dynasty". Of course, if someone in their family participated in the battle of restoration, they would be exempted from exile. Even so, more than 12 million people were exiled. Xinjiang, "gend the border and consolidate the border" to atone for its sins. In addition, nearly a million people are all kinds of prisoners and bandits.
Exorship, to some extent, compared with torture and prison, the Chinese Empire is more willing to adopt the exile system. When some people accuse China's exile system of being too extensive, it is ignored. In just a few years, the population composition of Xinjiang Province, Tangnu Wulianghai, Northeast China, Sichuan and other places has a fundamental surname. With the change, Xinjiang Province has changed from a border province dominated by entanglement to a Han province with 70% of the Han population.
Because of this, exile is the most important means to solve some problems for the empire. In the past two years, in order to clean up beggars, the exiles have been driven into factories or fields, and the vagrants have also been exiled.
The exile system, in China in this era, is changing society little by little.
On the transportation platform of Nanjing Railway Station, trucks with canvas awnings are constantly coming in. The night wind is roaring on the platform. The platform is surrounded by soldiers in charge of vigilance. The soldiers carry bayonets on their rifles, and the arranged machine gun positions can even be clearly seen in some positions on the platform.
As soon as the truck stopped, soldiers with live ammunition jumped off the truck and pointed bayonets at the truck.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
The soldiers shouted loudly, and the snowy bayonets reflected in the light. The frightened men and women walked down the truck along the springboard. The men carried simple luggage. Some of the women were still holding babies in their arms, and a train stopped on the platform.
In the river wind, Qiu Jin held her daughter Wang Canzhi in her hand. She looked at the military police around her and looked at the familiar and strange people. Maybe they were knocked open by the secret agents of the investigation bureau at night, and then, at the muzzle of the gun, they were ordered to leave Nanjing by them.
"Qingqing..."
Suddenly, a familiar shout came to her ears. Looking along the voice, she saw an acquaintance.
"Fen!"
Chen Yufen and her husband Yang Jun, who were carrying luggage, both stood there, and they were also carrying two boxes of simple luggage.
"Why are you here too!"
Qiu Jin looked at his friends in surprise. They... "Who knows?"
Chen Yufen shook her head helplessly and sighed. She looked at her husband. At this time, there was even a trace of grievance on his face. Maybe he was blaming himself.
"I must sue you to the court, and I must sue them to the court..."
While shouting from a young man with gold-rimmed glasses on a truck, he walked down from the truck. One of his hands was carrying a suitcase, and the other hand was carrying more than a dozen books tied with ropes. Looking through the light, it seemed to be a law book.
"It's lawyer Fang Chuanming from the conscience lawyer's office!"
Someone whispered.
It's him!
Qiu Jin listened to this familiar name and thought to herself that she knew this person. Last year, this person privately drafted a constitution with some friends, known as the "Civil Rights Constitution".
"I, a citizen of the Chinese Empire, have not violated any law. I don't know who the public is and want to exile us!"
After a while, he listened to Fang Chuanming shouting at several agents of the investigation bureau, but the agents of the investigation bureau were all isolated on the other side by the soldiers. Qiu Jin could clearly see the contempt in the eyes of the secret detectives.
"Your Majesty must not know, Your Majesty must not know, there must be someone's life, it must be a villain's life!"
Yang Yan's face was full of fear, and he kept whispering on his lips.
"Your Majesty will not know!"
Someone said.
"Yes, if Your Majesty doesn't know, how dare anyone arrest me!"
"No, no, no, we were not arrested!"
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Fang Chuanming heard this sentence and immediately shook his head and said.
"If we are arrested, the court needs to sign an arrest warrant, but the secret agent who arrested us did not show the arrest warrant. They are based on..."
"Security Regulations!"
"Yes, it's the Security Regulations! They expelled us and other security personnel according to the security regulations!"
"What will they do to us, lawyer Fang?"
"Exortion!"
Fang Chuanming said a sentence decisively, and then looked at the military police around him and said.
"Freedom and equality are becoming more and more precious, and the mercy of the imperial political axe has reached such a level..."
When the sarcasm spread from his mouth to Qiu Jin's ears, she frowned. She couldn't believe that His Majesty, who had been regarded as a great hero by her, was... disappointed, and a disappointment that had never been born lingered in her heart.
"Mom, where are we going?"
The young Wang Canzhi looked at the people around her. When she looked at the soldiers with live ammunition, her eyes were full of envy. When she was young, she didn't know that these soldiers were now the ones who were guarding them.
"Who knows?"
At this time, the train entered the station, and it was a passenger train that entered the railway station, not the stuffy tanker they imagined, which more or less relieved those women, especially women with children.
"Guys, you enter the corresponding carriage with your own license plate! Please enter the carriage in an orderly manner and don't cause chaos. I hope you are responsible for your behavior!"
The officer with a tin microphone in his hand shouted, and there was no look on his face, only the seriousness of the soldiers.
No one will question the officer's order. They clearly know that the reason why the glorious guards are glorious is because of their loyalty. They will never question the order. When they tell people not to be confused, they must have received a direct order, which is to ensure the normality of order. In order to maintain this Order, they will definitely use force when necessary.
He took his daughter's hand into the carriage. Qiu Jin, Chen Yufen and others were in the same carriage. After the carriage was full of people, several soldiers appeared in the carriage. They still held rifles and led an officer standing in the central aisle.
"I'm sorry to trouble you all!"
The officer first bowed to the people, and then stood up and said.
"I hope you can understand Your Majesty's love for you. You are the elite of China. Maybe you all have this and that pursuit, but for the sake of the stability of the current situation of the country, and at the same time, to prevent you from being used by others, so that unexpected events that no one wants to see. In order to ensure your safety, Your Majesty deliberately Order to protect you!"
Protection?
Qiu Jin was stunned, but most of the people around him looked sneer. In their opinion, this was to coax them as a three-year-old child.
"According to the order, you will be sent to Xinjiang!"
Province of Xinjiang!
In everyone's surprise, only two soldiers stood at the door of the carriage where the officer left, standing with guns and their eyes looked at the end of the passage.
Leaving Nanjing for Xinjiang Province, Qiu Jin held her daughter's hand. For a moment, she really couldn't tell whether it was love or exile!
"It's to protect them!"
Standing behind His Majesty, Zhang Feng, who half bowed, replied truthfully.
"Your Majesty, the Security Regulations are actually protecting those people. If they stay here and are used by others, even if we are unwilling to do so, we should choose to use violence to solve the problem. Only in this way can we ensure the stability of the national situation..."
When Zhang Feng said this "word of protection", Chen Moran just stood quietly by the window and looked at the dark night sky. What's the matter? It is not exile, but the reason for doing so is for their own rights. In order to ensure the promulgation and implementation of the imperial constitution, it is necessary to implement the "prohibited surname protection" for some people.
"After the situation stabilizes, release them, and then it will have nothing to do with the overall situation!"
Nodding, Chen Moran understood that this may be the only choice and the last choice. Otherwise, if something happens, he can only grit his teeth and order the army to enter the city to maintain "order". At that time, how many people will die? How much blood will flow?
"Zhang Qing, I understand that there is no way!"
Is there any other way?
Yes, it is to fully learn from the Private Constitution, but the ideas of those constitutions are good, but they are not in line with reality. In today's China, such a constitution will only bring chaos. In the end, the dignity of the constitution will be trampled on. It is better not to set up a constitution if no one abides by it. At least in the constitution, I will do my best. Strive to maintain the dignity and implementation of the Constitution, and I also have that power.
I hope future generations can understand all this!
"Have a good trip!"
With a whisper in his heart, Chen Moran's eyes became extremely resolute. If he wants to oppose himself, he'd better wait for ten years later! Now... I'm sorry!
