Is there really such a stricter law in ancient times than in modern times to solve the "it is hard to go" and even send it to the frontier?

Yes, this kind of law is "exile". "The country is life and death, why not avoid it because of disaster?" Lin Zexu read these two poems before exile in Ili, indicating that people at that time thought that exile in Xinjiang was risking their lives. The punishment of exile is also graded, from the distance of exile to the treatment of exile is based on the severity of the crime.

There is a kind of punishment specifically for felons, and the name of this kind of exile punishment is "fenced placement". If you only look at the literal meaning, "fence" means putting a fence around the residence of the exile. This doesn't sound terrible, but what do you think it would be like if the fences around your house were particularly dense, each of which was as high as 9 meters? Generally speaking, prisoners are relatively free in exile, except when you call the roll.

But prisoners in fences are different, and the people inside are absolutely not allowed to go out. People's activities here are limited to a small house, and the door is locked. The outer fence just makes you feel more tortured. The only chance for you to get in touch with the outside world is that someone will bring you food and water every ten days or so.

Once surrounded by a nine-meter-high fence, you basically bid farewell to the sun, which means that you can basically spend it in the dark day and night. Many exiles can't stand it, so they call this kind of house "the tomb of the living dead". Because under this punishment, the prisoner is really "dark" and the huge psychological pressure is far beyond imagination. Therefore, even if they know how to escape from illness and death, many people will try their best.
