The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 713 If you don't see the emperor's residence, you know the emperor! (9k big chapter, ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

Just as Zhu Hongyu helped Niu Meng up, the Ming army who entered the imperial city to fight brought Aobai and Emperor Xuantong to Zhu Hongyu.

Wu Wei cupped his fists and saluted Zhu Hongyu.

"Report to Your Majesty, the last general lived up to his mission and captured Oboi and the false emperor!"

"Please show your majesty!"

Zhu Hongyu turned his head, patted Wu Wei's shoulder lightly, nodded and said.

"well done!"

"Go down and rest!"

Zhu Hongyu strode up to Oboi, and fixed his eyes on Oboi whose leg was broken and covered in blood.

"Are you Oboi?"

Aobai was escorted and knelt down in front of Zhu Hongyu by several soldiers of the Restoration Army, but he was still struggling.

Although his struggle was futile, it also revealed his unwillingness to surrender.

Obai heard Zhu Hongyu's question, raised his head, and looked at the young emperor standing in front of him, his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.

But facing Zhu Hongyu's question, he just said with a sneer.

"Haha, grandpa is the No. [-] Batulu in the Qing Dynasty, Oboi!"

In front of Zhu Hongyu, Aobai did not use his identity as Shaobao, or the commander of soldiers and horses in the Qing Dynasty.

Instead, he called himself the No. [-] Batulu in the Qing Dynasty!
Perhaps, in Aobai's opinion, the title that he is most proud of in his life is the No. [-] Batulu in the Qing Dynasty!

Zhu Hongyu was not angry either, he took off his gloves, smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Oboi's face.

Ao Bai's face was slapped, and the humiliation was undoubtedly revealed.

"Hehe, Batulu, the number one in the Qing Dynasty?"

"That's it?"

"You don't have more arms or legs than others. I thought you had three heads and six arms. Now it seems that you are no different from ordinary people."

Feeling the humiliation, Aobai gritted his teeth and said.

"I, Oboi, are indeed no different from ordinary people, but it is me, an ordinary person, who has destroyed countless Ming armies and beheaded countless Ming army generals on the battlefield."

Zhu Hongyu was not annoyed after hearing this, but continued to speak with a smile.

"That's not bad, but don't you also fall into my hands now?"

After saying this, Zhu Hongyu ignored Oboi, turned around and gave instructions to the soldiers who followed him.

"Tell the military doctor to come over and treat the wounds of our No. [-] Batulu in the Qing Dynasty!"

"Don't let him die, I still want to sacrifice him to Emperor Sizonglie!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hongyu waved his hand to signal for others to push Oboi down.

Zhu Hongyu believed that he used Obai to pay homage to Chongzhen, which was actually a blessing for Obai.

He Oboi fell into Zhu Hongyu's hands, although he was about to become a Qing loyalist.

But it's better than being ransacked by Kangxi and then killed in the sky prison like in history, right?
Tsk tsk, I have worked so hard for the Qing Dynasty all my life, and I have been loyal to keep the two emperors Shunzhi and Kangxi on the throne smoothly.

In the end, because of being domineering, he ended up being ransacked and exterminated!

How miserable?
Now that Zhu Hongyu has turned Oboi into a loyal hero of the Qing Dynasty, so that he doesn't have to experience the pain that Oboi has experienced in history, isn't that just a blessing for Oboi?

Zhu Hongyu turned his gaze to Emperor Xuantong who was at the side.

Although Emperor Xuantong was wearing a dragon robe at this time, his head and face were covered in black and gray, and his clothes were messy.

The whip that was as thick as a mouse's tail behind his head was also spread out, looking extremely embarrassed.

Zhu Hongyu walked up to Emperor Xuantong, pinched his face with his hands, and raised his head.

A pair of cold eyes, without the slightest emotion, asked in a cold voice.

"Is it really Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Emperor Sizong?"

"Do you know the fate of pretending to be the Ming clan?"

Emperor Xuantong looked up and saw Zhu Hongyu's cold eyes, and his whole body collapsed to the ground in an instant, as if he had caught the last straw, he nodded hurriedly and said.

"I'm Zhu Cijiong, I'm really Zhu Cijiong!"

"Brother Huang, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"

Strictly speaking, Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Cijiong belong to the same generation, and the last word of their names has the word "fire" as the radical.

However, Zhu Cijiong was much older than Zhu Hongyu.

Although the Emperor Xuantong in front of him knew that his identity as the Great Ming clan was fake, but in order to survive, he desperately wanted to grab the last straw.

He felt that as long as he killed the third prince Zhu of the clan of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor in front of him might spare his life because of his face!
For this reason, even regardless of his age being much older than Zhu Hongyu, he insisted on calling Zhu Hongyu the emperor's brother.

Seeing that Zhu Hongyu still had a cold face and the expression on his face didn't change much, Emperor Xuantong continued.

"Brother, brother, I'm sorry for the ancestors of Daming!"

"I shouldn't have been coerced by the Manchus, became a false emperor, and...had paid tribute to the Manchus. My brother, I am sorry for the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, and I am sorry for the father who died for the country!"

"But brother, I can't help it, I was forced!"

"If I don't obey, that villain Obai will kill me."

"Originally, I also wanted to follow my father's example and die for the country with my own life."

"But I thought about it, I am the only one in the Chengzu lineage. If I die, the Chengzu lineage will lose its incense!"

"In the end, I can only bear the humiliation and bear the burden, and drag out my life!"

"Now, my master of the Ming Dynasty has finally come, and finally recovered my old capital of the Ming Dynasty."

"Brother, I finally don't have to be bullied by Man Qing anymore!"

"..."

Hearing Xuantong's sophistry, Zhu Hongyu's face completely darkened.

Good fellow, he had never seen such a brazen man.

How dare you say it!
But Zhu Hongyu had to admit that this fake third prince Zhu was a smart man.

When he argued with Zhu Hongyu, he not only named himself as the clan of the Ming Dynasty, but also pointed out that he was the last descendant of Cheng Zu's lineage.

If Zhu Hongyu kills himself, then Chengzu's lineage will be cut off from incense!

He wanted to use this method to force Zhu Hongyu to let him go!

But, congratulations to him, his idea has come to nothing, Zhu Hongyu has never been a person who will be coerced by others.

After listening to Xuantong's sophistry, Zhu Hongyu just said in a cold voice.

"so what?"

"You will completely disgrace the face of Emperor Sizonglie who died for his country!"

"I'm going to completely embarrass the Ming royal family!"

"I have thousands of clans in the Ming Dynasty, when did a scum of a foreign race like you appear?!"

"Emperor Yingzong Tumubao was captured back then, and he never professed his vassal to Wala!"

He secretly pulled out the God of War to whip the corpse, after saying this, Zhu Hongyu walked away, just said in a cold voice.

"I won't kill you, but I will send you to Emperor Sizong's tomb, then open an altar to pay homage, and ask Emperor Sizong's attitude. Emperor Sizong has the final say on whether to kill you or not!"

To put it bluntly, Zhu Hongyu wanted to kill Xuan Tong.

But he was unwilling to take the blame for killing the clan, so he was going to let Chongzhen, whose bones were probably all rotten, take the blame.

Although it was said that it was an altar to pay homage, Chongzhen had to be asked for his opinion, but Chongzhen had died a long time ago. Isn't the result of this inquiry just Zhu Hongyu's decision?
Then, it will be written in the history books that it was Chongzhen who wanted to kill his relatives righteously and kill his own son.

And Zhu Hongyu...

Zhu Hongyu would say: Look at your mother!
Emperor Xuantong was also aware of this, and knew that Zhu Hongyu was going to play tricks.

His body collapsed to the ground in an instant, and the expression on his face was full of despair.

If an emperor with real power decides to play tricks, others have nothing to do with him.

Just like now, just like the time when Zhu Hongyu destroyed the Confucian mansion!

Everyone knew that Zhu Hongyu was playing tricks, but so what?

No one can do anything to him!
Zhu Hongyu waved his big sleeves and gave orders.

"Quickly clean up the order in the capital city, and start preparing for the city entry ceremony."

……

The capital was broken, and the defenders were wiped out!
Obai and Xuan Tong were captured!
The first person to receive this news was none other than Yue Le, Prince of Heshuo'an of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who was located in Shanhaiguan.

Yue Le looked at the specific information on the battle report, and after he learned that the Ming army had taken only two days to break through the capital, he fell into a daze.

Although the city defense of Shanhaiguan is much stronger than that of Beijing!
But if the Ming army comes to attack, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid they won't last long!
With a pessimistic mood, Yue Le hastily ordered his subordinates to report to Shengjing, and at the same time prepare for the war immediately, preparing to meet the invading Ming army.

……

At the same time, the news of the recovery of the capital continued to spread around as if it had grown wings.

Zhu Hongyu sent a fast horse to go south along the canal, spreading the good news of the recovery of the capital along the way.

The world shakes!

Shanxi, which is close to the capital, made a reaction that Zhu Hongyu would like to see.

The prefectures in Shanxi were still occupied by the Manchu Qing. After receiving the first-hand news from the capital, they also flocked to the capital to send a surrender list.

There were even letters of allegiance sent by many of the green battalion generals with heavy troops in their hands.

Although the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants have a strong influence on Shanxi, such influence cannot change the overall situation of Shanxi.

It's like when countless people realized that Ming Dynasty was about to perish!
Throughout Shanxi, countless people have realized that the restoration of Daming has become a foregone conclusion!

Those green battalion generals with heavy troops in their hands, no matter how good their relationship with the Eight Shanxi Merchants was in the past, it is impossible for them to follow the Eight Shanxi Merchants to their death with all their heart.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it must be guarded by someone to play its due role.

A strong city without people's hearts is no different from a city made of paper!

In war, what is really fought is the hearts of the people!
The most typical example is this Northern Expedition of the Ming Army, which hardly encountered any obstacles, and hardly fought any big battles along the way.

All the prefectural capitals and cities basically surrendered voluntarily, and even the Ming army was still far away, so he took the initiative to send a surrender form.

Even Baoding, a fortified city managed by the Manchu Qing painstakingly, surrendered to Daming voluntarily.

The only exceptions are the two strong cities of Jingshi and Tianjin!
It can be regarded as a waste of hands and feet for the Ming army.

But it's just a waste of hands and feet!

It is true that Shanxi is a terrain-type victory, but how many people are willing to defend Shanxi for the Manchu Qing?

The answer is that apart from the eight Shanxi merchants who really couldn't get off the boat, there probably wasn't one of them.

this is the truth!
Facing the surging tide of the world, no one would be willing to stand on the opposite side of the winner!
……

The cleaning work of the capital is finally over.

Zhu Hongyu also started to prepare for the entering ceremony.

The streets of the capital were completely cleaned up, clear water was sprinkled on the streets, the roads were padded with loess, and the ditches that originally stretched across the roads were also filled up.

The soldiers of the Ming army lined up neatly on both sides and guarded closely.

The iron armor is dense, and there are many swords and guns!
The soldiers held their chests up and looked up, their eyes focused on the direction of the city gate.

Everyone is looking forward to the entry of the Ming Emperor!

It's just a pity that after Dorgon promulgated the land enclosure order, house occupation order, and escape law, the capital of Ming Dynasty completely became a city of bannermen.

In the city, there are either banner people or Han Chinese who were forced to become the coated slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In this era, no one regards it as an honor to make Manchu also coated!
And these bannermen and Baoyi, after the main forces of the Manchu and Qing evacuated from the customs, most of them left the customs with the Manchus.

So much so that if Obai wanted to recruit civilian husbands, he had to go to Miyun, Changping, and even Tongzhou to recruit.

Most of the coats that were left in the capital by the Qing Dynasty are now in prisoner-of-war camps!
Or they started an incident with Yang Qilong and others, and are now waiting to be resettled outside the city.

Therefore, the current capital is, to put it bluntly, an empty city!
At the entering ceremony held by Daming, no common people came to see it.

But it doesn't matter, now Zhu Hongyu doesn't need to go through the ceremony of entering the city to show his prestige.

After victories in battles and the achievements of the Northern Expedition in recovering the old capital, Zhu Hongyu is now the veritable master of the revival of the Ming Dynasty.

No one can deny this!

With a creak, the gates of the outer city of the capital opened wide.

Zhu Hongyu entered the city from Yongding Gate, with a white horse and gold armor, and a scarlet cloak, followed by teams of elite guards.

Armored and armored, countless imperial guards marched forward in unison.

The footsteps beat the drums, and the iron boots trampled on the street, as if the ground was shaking along with it.

One by one muskets with bayonets were carried on the shoulders, and the bright bayonets were pointed at the sky obliquely, forming a forest of bayonets.

Eye-catching!

A dragon flag is flying high!
The dragon with its fangs and claws seems to be showing the majesty of imperial power to everyone.

The bright yellow Tianziyi followed closely behind!

Zhu Hongyu walked out of the city gate slowly on his horse, and the oncoming sunlight shone on him, setting him off like a god-man who came out of a myth.

Since Jiashen Kingdom was difficult to come back to, after 23 years, Emperor Da Ming finally returned to his own capital of the Ming Dynasty!

The soldiers of the Ming army on both sides of the road stood in formation. The moment Zhu Hongyu appeared, he hammered his chest with his neat right hand in a military salute, making the sound of iron armor clanging.

Immediately, there were bursts of earth-shattering shouts of long live.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"..."

The shouts of long live resounded inside and outside the capital.

Zhu Hongyu urged the horse to go slowly. On both sides of the road were the Altar of Mountains and Rivers and the Temple of Heaven.

Continuing forward along the central axis of the capital, one can pass through the entire outer city and arrive outside the Zhengyang Gate.

The royal team passed through Zhengyang Gate, went straight into the inner city, and headed for the imperial city.

During this process, the cheers on both sides of the road never stopped.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Ming wins! Long live my emperor!"

"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are forever, and the Daming rivers and mountains are forever!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu enjoyed Wan Jun's cheers to the fullest, and then turned his gaze to the Chengtian Gate not far ahead.

There, it is the gate of the imperial city!
He led the team into Chengtian Gate, which means he entered the imperial city.

After entering the imperial city, the two buildings on both sides of the road are Sheji Altar and Taimiao!

Then there is the Meridian Gate, and after the Meridian Gate, it is the Forbidden City.

Zhu Hongyu sat on the horseback, looking at the majestic Forbidden City in front of him, with a little amazement in his eyes.

Although Nanjing also has a Forbidden City, the Forbidden City in Nanjing is really dilapidated.

Coupled with Zhu Hongyu's reluctance to spend a lot of money on repairs, the Forbidden City in Nanjing is far inferior to the grandeur of the Forbidden City in front of him.

After seeing the Forbidden City in front of him, Zhu Hongyu finally understood why there was a saying that "if you don't see the emperor's residence, you will know the emperor's dignity".

Originally, he didn't take this statement seriously!
But when he really saw the magnificent Forbidden City, he realized that this sentence made sense.

What is truly feared and respected is indeed the power in the hands of the emperor.

But who can say that the Forbidden City, where all the world's orders come from, is not part of the emperor's power?
Zhu Hongyu got off his horse, and surrounded by many generals, he strode towards the main hall which was renamed the Hall of Supreme Harmony by the Qing Dynasty.

The three halls were originally called: Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, and Shenxin Hall!
After Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, the three halls caught fire and were burned down. After reconstruction, they were renamed: Huangji Hall, Zhongji Hall, and Jianji Hall.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was of course impossible to continue to use the name left by the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the three halls were renamed the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony.

The three halls that Zhu Hongyu sees now are exactly the three halls after being renamed by the Qing Dynasty.

Looking at the Manchu plaques on the three halls, Zhu Hongyu just said in a cold voice.

"Send someone to remove all the plaques with Manchu characters in the palace, and prepare to make new ones!"

"By the way, the three main halls have been changed back to Fengtian, Huagai, and Jingxin three main halls, following the old Hongwu system."

Zhu Hongyu belonged to the clan of the King of Chu, not the clan of Jiajing. As for the names of the three halls, it makes sense to follow the old system of Hongwu.

Because, firstly, his throne comes from his achievement of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China", and secondly, from the power and army in his hands.

The third reason is that he is the clan of the Ming Dynasty, a descendant of Emperor Taizu!

Therefore, Zhu Hongyu really doesn't have to worry too much about Jiajing.

And all of this has nothing to do with Jiajing!
Wang Ruxian beside Zhu Hongyu clasped his fists and said.

"Wei Chen understands!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a small notebook from his pocket and recorded what Zhu Hongyu had explained.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then continued to move forward.

Surrounded by the generals, Zhu Hongyu strode into Fengtian Hall.

At a glance, he saw the dragon chair made of gold. Zhu Hongyu flicked the cloak behind him and strode towards the dragon chair.

He walked up to the dragon chair, then turned around and sat down.

His piercing gaze scanned the hall for a week, and the Ming army generals in the hall bowed down one after another seeing this scene.

"Your Majesty, my lord, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Your Majesty, my lord, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu stretched out his hand to help him.

"Zhu Qing is flat!"

After speaking, he continued.

"Since Jiashen, the world has fallen, the land of Shenzhou has fallen, and the Great Ming Society has collapsed!"

"23 years!"

"Now, I am endowed with the destiny, and I am fighting fiercely, rising in Nanyang, and I have the restoration of my great Ming today!"

"It is because of the blessing of my ancestors that I can achieve today's achievements. The nobles use their lives and the people of the world return to their hearts. I am really moved!"

"Every time I think about it, I feel that there is a heavy burden on my shoulders, and the mountains, rivers and society are all on my shoulders, and I can't sleep peacefully!"

"Now, the old capital is finally restored, and there will be revival in the world at the beginning of tomorrow. I can finally explain to my ancestors and my subjects all over the world!"

Everyone fell into silence listening to Zhu Hongyu's speech.

Zhu Hongyu looked around for a week, then continued.

"But this is not enough!"

"Now my Ming Dynasty has only just regained the old capital, the northern land has not yet been fully recovered, Liaodong has still fallen into the hands of Jiannu, there are still Mongols on the grasslands fighting fiercely, and Tibet has betrayed my Ming Dynasty for a long time. Haven't been able to get through yet..."

"There are not a few people in the Nanyang countries who are rebellious. Many Western barbarians are also eyeing my Ming Dynasty, and the Eastern Japanese countries are even full of wolf ambitions, who have plans for my Ming Dynasty!"

"Wait, I can't relax yet!"

Zhu Hongyu's last words are not so much a warning to everyone not to relax, but rather a reassurance that Zhu Hongyu gave to the generals of the Ming army.

Now Zhu Hongyu is telling everyone very clearly that there is no need to worry that there will be no battles in the future, and there is no need to worry that the court will put the swords and guns into the warehouse after the recovery of the Northland, and put the horses on the South Mountain.

Not to mention that I will kill donkeys and follow my ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang's slaughter of heroes!

I have great ambitions, and Ming has many enemies, you generals still have plenty of room to use!
After Zhu Hongyu's words fell, all the generals in the hall bowed down in unison.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After hearing Zhu Hongyu's words, the faint sense of loss in the hearts of these Ming army generals after the recovery of the capital disappeared.

It can only be said that Zhu Hong's reassurance came too timely!

Originally, everyone was worried that when Daming regained control of the world, there would be no more battles, and these generals would be useless.

They were not worried that Zhu Hongyu would kill the hero!

Not because of anything else, but because Zhu Hongyu is really too young, younger than most of them.

There is a high probability that they will not survive the emperor, and as long as Zhu Hongyu, the mythical emperor, is still alive, how many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty would dare to rebel?

Since the emperor can rely on the years to kill them, there is no need to kill the heroes with knives and guns.

When Zhu Yuanzhang killed the heroes, it was also because he was old, and the prince Zhu Biao died of illness. Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that his eldest grandson Zhu Yunqi would not be able to deter those arrogant soldiers underneath.

That's why there were two major cases, the Lanyu case and the Hu Weiyong case. Zhu Yuanzhang found a random excuse to kill a group of arrogant soldiers and generals.

To put it bluntly, he was paving the way for his grandson to ascend the throne!
As for the remaining two of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu was not killing people indiscriminately.

The empty seal case is because someone stamped the imperial seal on the blank paper, and then wrote the content on the paper stamped with the seal when it was necessary to act.

what is this?
Is this making the majesty of the imperial court and the power of the emperor a trifling matter?

Not to mention that this incident happened to Lao Zhu, a bad-tempered head, any emperor who encountered such a incident would have to explode!
If this group of people is not dealt with seriously, where will the imperial court face?
The Guo Huan case happened because someone was reselling official food.

Still, there was a war in the southwest of the imperial court, and the chieftain of the southwest rebelled. Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, immediately led two famous founding generals, Tang He, Duke of Xinguo, and Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia, to march to the southwest.

Moreover, there was a severe drought in Shandong that year, and it was still the kind of severe drought that could only be survived by the imperial court reducing or exempting taxes.

In this case, the official rations of the imperial court are the military rations needed for front-line operations and the living rations for the victims in Shandong.

Those corrupt officials who dare to resell official food, can they do it without killing a batch?

For example, if Zhu Hongyu is leading an army on the front line in the Northern Expedition, and there is a severe drought in a province under the imperial court, under such circumstances, there are still corrupt officials in Nanjing reselling official food.

After Zhu Hongyu found out, how could he not kill someone?
He is afraid that he killed more than Zhu Yuanzhang!
For the Lanyu case and the Hu Weiyong case, Lao Zhu was indeed punishing him at will, but for the Kongyin case and Guo Huan'an, Lao Zhu really cannot be blamed.

Therefore, the generals of the Ming army are not worried that Zhu Hongyu will kill heroes at will.

Because youth is capital!
Didn't Li Shimin kill the heroes back then?
The present Son of Heaven is younger than when Li Shimin ascended the throne.

And with the same military exploits as Li Shimin, there is no need to kill heroes.

Judging from Zhu Hongyu's willingness to treat and support Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo, two kings with different surnames, at best he would imitate Zhao Kuangyin and release his military power with a glass of wine.

It is impossible to kill heroes!
However, here comes the problem, for a general, being useless is actually a more uncomfortable thing than death!
Fortunately, they now have Zhu Hongyu's promise!
After the Ming Dynasty, there are still many battles to fight!

Most people feel at ease!

……

That day, Zhu Hongyu slept in the Forbidden City.

That night, sleeping drowsily, Zhu Hongyu dreamed of a fierce old man with white beard smiling at him very gratifyingly, and stroking his head kindly.

Looking at the bright yellow crown dress on the old man with white beard, it is easy to judge his identity, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty.

After that, Zhu Hongyu couldn't remember clearly.

When he woke up the next day, Zhu Hongyu recalled the dream of last night, but he only felt a little nonsense.

What about trouble?

This is the capital, not Nanjing.

Lao Zhu's grave is in Xiaoling, even if Lao Zhu entrusted him with a dream, it should have been entrusted to him when he was in Nanjing.

A special trip to the capital, isn't the old man tired?

Zhu Hongyu felt that if he dreamed about Zhu Di or Chongzhen last night, it would be more reliable than dreaming about Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, Zhu Hongyu stopped being entangled immediately.

It's just a dream, why is he thinking so much!

After Zhu Hongyu washed and dressed, he strode out of the Qianqing Palace.

In the early morning of summer, there was a faint mist in the air of the capital, and the golden sun pierced through the mist, shining on Zhu Hongyu's face and body.

Enjoying the feeling of the breeze blowing on his face, Zhu Hongyu yawned lazily.

The weather in the capital has never been good, but the capital is still quite fresh in the early morning.

Just as Zhu Hongyu came out of the Qianqing Palace, Wang Ruxian came to Zhu Hongyu with strides, and then spoke.

"Report to Your Majesty, everything is ready!"

"You can go to Tianshou Mountain and the Ming Tombs to pay homage at any time!"

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Send the order, prepare all the sacrifices, and leave after breakfast!"

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, Wang Ruxian cupped his fists and went to prepare.

And Zhu Hongyu started to eat breakfast.

He doesn't have an imperial cook with him now, and coupled with his distrust of outsiders, Zhu Hongyu now eats breakfast with the soldiers of the Ming army.

Due to the great victory in the capital, the food of the Ming army has been very good during this period.

There are still leftovers from the dumplings I ate last night, so I also ate dumplings this morning.

In addition to dumplings, there are also different foods such as steamed buns, flatbreads, eggs, fried dough sticks, and rice porridge.

What Zhu Hongyu ate was no different from ordinary soldiers, just a bowl of dumplings in sour soup, a piece of flatbread, an egg, and a bowl of rice porridge.

The taste is not bad, but far from luxurious!

At least for an emperor, this is indeed the case.

After Zhu Hongyu finished his breakfast, he was ready to leave for the Ming Tombs to pay homage.

Zhu Hongyu didn't wear armor or military uniform this time, but put on his royal uniform that belonged to the Emperor of Heaven.

Then he sat and stepped forward, played a full set of emperor's support, and prepared to go to the Ming Tombs to pay homage.

Because, this time, Zhu Hongyu is going to pay homage to the Ming Tombs as the Son of Heaven.

On the way to Tianshou Mountain in Changping, a large number of Ming army soldiers escorted them all the way to the Tianshou Mountain Cemetery in the northwest of the capital.

When the team arrived in Changping, it was already the second day, so he had a rest in Changping for a day, and he officially left for Tianshou Mountain in the early morning of the third day.

After arriving at Tianshou Mountain, Zhu Hongyu got down from the steps and strode towards the cemetery.

Before Zhu Hongyu arrived, Ming soldiers had already taken over the defense of the Ming Tombs in advance, and cleaned up the inside and outside of the Ming Tombs.

Drive out all the idlers and others!
Zhu Hongyu led the team past the stone archway, then the dismounting stele, and then the Dahongmen, the stele building and other buildings...

Zhu Hongyu followed the divine way and went straight to Changling.

The first thing he wanted to pay homage to was the Changling Tomb of Emperor Chengzu.

Zhu Hongyu led the team to the top of the Changling Mausoleum, ordered people to set up the sacrifices, and began to prepare for the sacrifice.

The sacrifices that Zhu Hongyu prepared for Changling were precisely some Eight Banners prisoners of war.

For those Eight Banners prisoners of war who surrendered in a timely manner, Zhu Hongyu was going to throw them into labor camps for labor reform.

But for those Eight Banners prisoners of war who are stubborn to the end, it is not a waste to use them as sacrifices!

Counting from the Jiashen year, this year has been No.20 for three years.

It happened that 23 Eight Banners prisoners of war were escorted to the top of the Changling Mausoleum, ready to be beheaded and sacrificed.

With the sound of horns, the knife flashed, and 23 heads flew out!
A large amount of blood was sprayed, as if to dye the top of the treasure red.

The smell of blood is overwhelming!

23 human heads were stacked together to form a small Jingguan.

Zhu Hongyu personally went up to offer incense to Zhu Di.

After finishing the worship of Changling, Zhu Hongyu went to other tombs.

Chengzu’s Changling Tomb, Renzong’s Xianling Tomb, Xuanzong’s Jingling Tomb, Ming Dynasty God of War’s Yuling Tomb, Emperor Jingtai’s Maoling Tomb...

Zhu Hongyu paid homage to them one by one.

Finally, it was Siling of Chongzhen.

Compared with the mausoleums of the other emperors, Chongzhen's Siling Mausoleum is quite shabby.

The size of its mausoleum, to put it bluntly, is the size of a concubine.

Because this Siling Mausoleum was originally just a concubine's mausoleum, which was built by Chongzhen for his beloved concubine Tian Guifei.

When the Jiashen disaster happened, the ground structure of the mausoleum had not yet been completed, and the Ming Dynasty perished.

It's just that I didn't expect that this mausoleum originally prepared for the concubine turned out to be the joint burial mausoleum of the emperor and empress.

Looking at the shabby mausoleum in front of him, Zhu Hongyu felt a little sad.

Chongzhen may have many problems, suspicious, conceited, impatient, and unable to take responsibility.

But it is undeniable that he is frugal and diligent, and there is no problem in terms of personal morality.

Daming has produced a lot of strange emperors, some are so playful that they want to lead troops to fight, some want to cultivate immortals, some are unwilling to go to court, and some are carpenters... As a result, when these people were in power, Daming nothing happened.

Instead, when Chongzhen, the diligent and busy emperor who had been in office for more than ten years, came to the throne, Daming died.

It can be said that Chongzhen has basically been busy doing nothing all his life!

This thing is really ironic!
Even in the end, Chongzhen's funeral was organized by the peasant army under the order of Li Zicheng.

When Chongzhen was buried, the ground buildings of Siling had not yet been repaired.

If it wasn't for the Manchu Qing's idea of ​​winning people's hearts, they repaired the ground structure of the mausoleum for Chongzhen, I am afraid that Chongzhen's final face would not be preserved.

Originally, Zhu Hongyu was still thinking about whether he should move Chongzhen.

Well, Qingdong Tombs are pretty good!

However, after thinking about it, Zhu Hongyu dismissed the idea.

This thing can't be done!
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they even repaired the mausoleum for Chongzhen. What happened to him, Zhu Hongyu, who dug up the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty?

Regardless of whether the Manchu Qing Dynasty was trying to win people's hearts or not, the repair of Chongzhen's mausoleum can never be faked.

Zhu Hongyu can't behave like Man Qing, can he?
The Chinese have always paid attention to a person's death as the most important thing. Since ancient times, almost no emperors who have achieved success will make a fuss about the enemy's mausoleum.

At least not on the surface!
Because, this is really too low!
Even Cao Cao's digging of graves was just to raise military expenses to support the army. There was no other way, not to vent his anger.

No matter how bad the battle was, Boss Cao didn't send someone to dig up Liu Bei and Sun Quan's ancestral graves, right?
Digging graves is not impossible, but it has a bad reputation after doing it.

Well, what should I say!

At least Zhu Hongyu couldn't do it by himself.
