Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 403 Double Happiness
The loss of Jiannu was not too great. The green battalion with the biggest loss lost [-] in battle, and the Eight Banners Manchuria lost about [-] in battle.

In addition, Jiannu also recaptured Huihua and Tumotechuan.

So from a strategic point of view, Jiannu is undoubtedly the winner.

So who is the biggest loser in this Hetao decisive battle?Of course it is the Tumed Mongolian tribes.

More than [-] strong men were directly killed by the Tumed tribes in the decisive battle of Hetao, and more than one million cattle and sheep were eaten by the Dashun army and Jiannu. This time it really hurt the bones.

And because the tribe's cattle, sheep and livestock were consumed in large quantities,
For the Tumed Mongolian tribes, this winter will be extremely difficult.

If there is no accident, at least half of the population of the various tribes in Tumed Mongolia will starve to death this winter.

However, no one really cared about the life and death of the Tumed Mongolian herdsmen. The Dashun Dynasty would not care, nor would Jiannu, who regained control of Tumed River and Naturalization.

The rulers of Dashun and Jiannu only care about one thing - the camel cannon!

It is already foreseeable that the battlefield ecology in East Asia will undergo revolutionary changes, and it will not take long for firearms to completely dominate the East Asian battlefield.

……

The time came to mid-October, Nanjing.

When the four cabinet ministers including Lu Zhenfei, Zhang Shenyan, Meng Zhaoxiang and Qian Qianyi came to the East Palace, they saw the prince Zhu Cihong anxiously pacing back and forth outside the delivery room.

The East Palace in the Forbidden City in Nanjing was restored three months ago.

Under the strong request of the civil official group, Zhu Cihong could only move into the East Palace.

Zhu Cihong's temperament is still a bit soft, and he dare not confront the civil official group like his father Chongzhen.

"Prince, how is the princess?" Lu Zhenfei wiped the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Shenyan, Meng Zhaoxiang, and Qian Qianyi also showed concern.

The Crown Princess is about to give birth, which is a major event for the court.

So the four elders hurried over after hearing the news.

"The situation is not very good." Zhu Cihong said with a worried face, "It has been almost four hours."

While talking, an old court lady came out sweating profusely and reported: "Your Highness, the fetus still can't come out, but the princess is about to collapse. If this continues, both adults and children will..."

The old maid didn't dare to say anything, but Zhu Cihong and the others naturally understood.

Yongwang Zhu Cizhen on the side said: "Brother, hurry up and find Fu Zhangyuan."

Lu Zhenfei hesitated for a while and finally said: "Prince, if it doesn't work, let's have a laparotomy."

Caesarean section is nothing new to the people of Nanjing, because in the past six months, the Maternity and Infant Hall opened by Daming Medical College has performed caesarean section on no less than [-] pregnant women with dystocia, but the results are mixed.

More than [-] caesarean section babies all survived. Even though two of them died in the first month, it had nothing to do with the caesarean section operation. However, only half of the more than [-] puerpera survived, and the other half did not survive. They all died of wound infection due to being too weak after giving birth.

In other words, the mortality rate of pregnant women who undergo caesarean section is [-]%.

That is to say, once the cesarean section is performed, the princess really only has half life left.

Kang Wanwan muttered twice, intending to dissuade him, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything. How could it be his turn to say something about such an important matter, such as a royal family who has no sense of existence?

In the eyes of the world, he, the prince and father-in-law, is really magnificent.

But only Kang Wanwan himself knew how harsh the Holy Majesty was on the royal relatives, especially the nobles of the clan, and the so-called royal relatives were just superficial.

Zhu Cihong also felt a little bit reluctant.

If he had a choice, he still didn't want to have a caesarean section on the princess.

The old maid quickly came out of the delivery room again: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess fainted just now!"

"I can't wait any longer!" Lu Zhenfei said decisively, "Prince, please summon Fu Zhangyuan!"

Zhang Shenyan also said: "If the imperial concubine is pregnant with the emperor's grandson, then it is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and the foundation of the country cannot be lost. Please the prince quickly call Fu to come to the hospital for surgery!"

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal." Meng Zhaoxiang and Qian Qianyi also knelt down in unison.

Zhu Cihong stomped his feet and said, "Come here, call Master Fu into the palace!"

In fact, Fu Shan had been waiting outside the East Palace for a long time, and came soon after receiving the imperial edict.

At this time, Fu Shan had already performed more than [-] caesarean sections, and performed more than [-] operations on pregnant women, so he was very familiar with the operation process and the speed was very fast.

Less than half an hour after Fu Shan brought the two students in, there was a baby cry from inside.

Immediately, the old maid rushed out excitedly holding a baby in her swaddling clothes, and shouted repeatedly: "Your Highness, the grandson of the emperor, is the grandson of the emperor, is the grandson of the emperor..."

"The emperor's grandson?" Zhu Cihong was in a daze.

Lu Zhenfei and others knelt down on the ground again: "Congratulations to the prince."

"Stay flat." At this time, Zhu Cihong did not forget to ask the four elders to get up, and then took the swaddle from the hand of the old maid, only to see a small baby wrapped in it, with a wrinkled face, really ugly.

But Zhu Cihong didn't dislike him at all, instead he felt inexplicably kind.

However, Zhu Cihong quickly handed over the baby to Kang Wanwan, and then asked the old maid: "Where is the princess?"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is fine, at least for now." Fu Shan came out after suturing the wound of the Crown Princess, and said while wiping his hands, "But in the end, whether the Crown Princess can survive the wound infection depends on her Own."

"Fu Zhangyuan has worked hard." Zhu Cihong said to the eunuch who was accompanying him, "Gu Banban, watch and reward."

The old eunuch next to him immediately offered a wooden support to reward the silver. There were twenty ingots and each ingot weighed ten taels.

Fu Shan did not refuse either, the medical school is in urgent need of funds.

At this time, Liu Shizhen, the general manager, rushed in excitedly.

"Great news! Great victory in Qujing!" Liu Shizhen gasped, "Prince, the four elders, Yunnan has just sent a report to Tang. The Holy Majesty defeated the rebels in Shadingzhou in the first battle in Qujing Mansion. Yunnan is set!"

"Has the Shadingzhou Rebellion been settled?" Lu Zhenfei was overjoyed when he heard this.

Qian Qianyi also couldn't help but said with joy: "Today is really a rare and good day. The emperor's grandson came to the world, and the Holy Majesty put down the chaos in Shadingzhou. It can be called double happiness!"

After a pause, he said again: "Prince, you can send the news of the emperor's grandson's birth to the emperor on a flying horse."

"Oh yes." Zhu Cihong woke up like a dream, and ordered Liu Shizhen, "Liu Yintai, please send a flying cavalry to report the news of the emperor's grandson's birth to the Holy Majesty in two hundred miles."

"The minister receives the order." Liu Shizhen took the order and left in a hurry.

At this time Lu Zhenfei bid farewell to Zhu Cihong and said, "Prince, I will take my leave first."

Coming out of the East Palace, Zhang Shenyan asked Lu Zhenfei: "Shou Kui, did the Holy Majesty say something else in the Tang newspaper?"

"You guys read it for yourself." Lu Zhenfei handed the pond newspaper to Zhang Shenyan, and Meng Zhaoxiang and Qian Qianyi joined in. After hastily reading the pond newspaper, the expressions of the four of them suddenly changed.

The saint went to Yunnan for a trip, and he did so many things?

[-] Guangxi wolf soldiers were detained in Yunnan, [-] of them were sent to Dongchuan, Dali and other silver mines to mine, and the remaining [-] stayed in Yunnan and turned into household town soldiers?

Of the [-] local soldiers who rebelled, [-] local soldiers were demoted to miners.

The remaining [-] native soldiers, all turned into household town soldiers?
Establish the governor of Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou to take charge of the affairs of the four provinces?
Set up an admiral to supervise Yunnan's military affairs and take charge of Yunnan's [-] town soldiers?
Persuading King Jingjiang to donate all the land under his name for Guangxi's land reform?
Confiscated all the land under the name of the Guizhou government for the land reform in Yunnan?

The Duke of Guizhou was demoted to a lower level and relegated to the title of Marquis of Central Dian, and his family moved to Nanjing to resettle?
Compared with these few major events, Ding Kuichu's corruption of ink spoils was revealed, which is nothing worth mentioning.

Qian Qianyi took a good look at his words and said, "Shou Kui, there are two elders in the cabinet. It seems a little inappropriate to do such a big thing in Yunnan and Guangxi without even saying hello to our cabinet."

"I think there is nothing wrong with it." Meng Zhaoxiang said firmly from the standpoint of Chongzhen, "The chieftain system of this dynasty inherited the chieftain system of the previous dynasty, and it is not fundamentally different from the prison system of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The so-called Xuanweisi, Xuanweisi Fusi is nominally a jurisdiction of the imperial court, but in fact it is still an independent kingdom."

"Therefore, reforming the land and returning it to the natives is essentially an expansion of territory, and should not be simply classified as an internal affair."

After a pause, Meng Zhaoxiang said again: "So, His Majesty's move did not infringe on the power of the cabinet."

After a period of running-in, Chongzhen and the cabinet have reached a first-class tacit understanding, that is, Chongzhen generally does not interfere in internal affairs other than the military, such as the selection and appointment of officials, the collection and use of taxes, and even the revision and promulgation of laws and regulations. , Chongzhen will not intervene, but the cabinet is not allowed to intervene at will in matters related to the military.

The matter of reforming the native land and returning to the local people is between the two, and Meng Zhaoxiang's explanation also makes sense.

"Old Meng Ge is right, this matter is up to you." Lu Zhenfei said, "After all, this is indeed a good time to reform the land and return to the local people in Guangxi and Yunnan, and the benefits of reforming the land to return to the local people are self-evident. Metaphor."

Qian Qianyi didn't dare to say anything anymore, because reforming the land and returning it to the local people would indeed be of great benefit to the cabinet.

The most direct benefit is that after Guangxi and Yunnan provinces were reformed, dozens of magistrates, prefectures, or county magistrates were directly added, as well as assistant officials such as Tongzhi, Tongju, and Tuiguan.

Originally, these official positions could only be appointed by local native officials, but now they can be directly appointed by local officials.

Another is that the number of cultivated land and registered households in the fish scale book of the household department will increase significantly, because the original chieftain's cultivated land and native people are not included in the fish scale book.

This means that the financial power and personnel power of the cabinet have been expanded, which is of course a good thing.

Lu Zhenfei continued: "The top priority is to gather all the officials above the third rank in Beijing as soon as possible, to promote the candidates for the governors of Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan and the governors of Yunnan. Is it necessary to set up the governors of Guangdong again?"
