Chapter 400 The Lord of the Monarch and His Ministers, the Prosperity of Ancient and Modern Times

"Your Majesty Lai has great blessings and no doubts about employing people. By chance, I wiped out the Duoduo tribe of Jiannu and wiped out the two banners. It is useless to capture the Han and Mongolian troops. The dust in the south of the Yangtze River will be wiped out overnight!"

"All the generals fought for several months, and fought four times before and after. Small battles are worthless. A total of 11 enemies were wiped out in the south of the Yangtze River, and more than 13 enemies in the north of the Yangtze River. The total was [-]. It is amazing that the first level was [-]! More than [-] prisoners were forced to land! The rest escaped and drowned.

The original soldiers and horses of the two white flags of Jiannu were all wiped out, and the red flags inlaid were severely damaged.Duoduo, the false prince of Yu, confers the head, Wanyan Yechen, the bogus Baylor, confers the head, and captures Fucha Shuo, the son of the bogus beige.A total of 14 relatives and noble generals were killed and captured below Beizi and above Jiala Ezhen!

The original soldiers and horses of the Mongolian Zhenghong and Blue Banners were also severely damaged, and their Zhenglan Banners were completely wiped out. Only two Jiala left in the Zhenghong Banner were able to escape, and killed Gushan Ezhen (banner owner) Yibai and Shengzhumei of the Zhenglan Banner. Le Erzhen Ahanikan (vice banner owner, not the same person as Nikan).

The puppet Han army flags with yellow flags and red flags were also wiped out. The captured flags advocated Cunren, and their subordinates Tian Xiong and Zhang Guoxun beheaded their subordinates Zhang Jie, Wang Dingguo and Man Jinzhong.In addition, he also killed surrendered general Liu Liangzuo and false general Kong Tingxun in Jiangbei.

Among the enemies who invaded the south of the Yangtze River, the Jiannu general Zuo only fled under the puppet Beizi Shangshan, the Mongolian general Zuo only escaped under the Zhenghong Banner Engetu, and the Han army banner and the newly surrendered puppet army, only some under Li Chengdong escaped... ..."

In the early morning of New Year's Day, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in Nanjing followed Longwu Emperor Zhu Changhao to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum outside the city. While welcoming Zhu Shuren, who offered captives, he listened to the staff next to Zhu Shuren recite the achievements of a series of battles in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. .

Hundreds of people filled the venue, plus tens of thousands of guards and troops. Everyone was silent and did not dare to make noise, but their hearts were full of excitement, and their blood was excited by the numbers and lists.

As Zhu Shuren's main civil servant, Gu Yanwu has also obtained his due official position in the court. Of course, he helped to write the words of merit, and now he also helps to read them. Zhu Shu is too lazy to worry about this kind of writing work.

But having said that, Zhu Shuren was also born at the end of the second list of Jinshi during the time of the first emperor, and he also wrote a high-level political theory work like "On the Rogue".

Even if all these writing tasks are now left to the staff, no one will think that Guo Xingye is not good at writing, they will only think that he is too busy to deal with small things.If Master Guoxing wrote the pen himself, it would be much more gorgeous.

After finally waiting for Gu Yanwu to finish reading, everyone was still immersed in the thrilling scale of the victory and couldn't extricate themselves.

Even the emperor Zhu Changxiao himself still felt a little unreal. When he went through the process of comforting his ancestors and visiting the mausoleum of Xiaoling, he trembled slightly and his movements deformed several times.

Duoduo came south this time, and the troops he brought with him were close to 14% of the total strength of the regular army of the Qing Dynasty!Before arriving in Huainan, there were 4 soldiers and horses. Later, Xu Dingguo and Liu Liangzuo's second troops who surrendered to the enemy were forced to land, plus some other traitor servants.

Zhu Shuren reported a total of 13 enemies annihilated. Among them, the 11 annihilated in Jiangnan were mostly from the 14 people brought by Duduo from the north, and only a few belonged to Li Chengdong.

The [-] that Jiangbei annihilated were dominated by the new servants of Xu Dingguo and Liu Liangzuo.

This is equivalent to the troops brought by Duduo. In the end, those who survived in the north were less than 4 at most, and the remaining more than one hundred thousand and a few thousand were left forever.

In Manchuria and Mongolia, almost two regular armies full of flags were wiped out! (These flags still have reserve personnel in the rear, it can only be said that the active personnel of the above flags will be wiped out)

It has been nearly 30 years since the frequent bloody battles between Daming and Jiannu in the late Wanli period!It has been 44 years since Jiannu established the Eight Banners system!But for so many years, how has the Ming Dynasty ever achieved the result of completely annihilating a banner-level unit of the Manchus!This time, they wiped out two flags at once!

(Nurhachi began to establish the Eight Banners system in the process of gradually unifying the Jurchen. The initial establishment of the Eight Banners was 15 years earlier than when Nuerhachi announced the "Seven Great Hatreds" and the founding of the country and the Ming Dynasty about)
Such a great achievement was achieved by counterattacking and reversing the trend of the sky in the precarious situation where the first emperor was martyred, Beijing fell, and only half of the mountains and water were left.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he was entrusted with the task of defeating the army, and was ordered to be in danger, to recover from darkness, and to rebuild the universe!

Together with Shi Kefa, the chief assistant of the cabinet, the important ministers of the cabinet of the Manchu Dynasty already understood in their hearts at this moment that no matter how His Majesty rewards the lord of the country, they will not be able to stop them.

Otherwise, it would be too ignorant of current affairs.

What's more, if we go back two months, there may still be some rotten Confucians in the court who want to babble and talk about things with ancestral etiquette.However, two days before Zhu Shuren arrived in Nanjing, Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi were shaken by fear and took the lead in running away.

Although Qian Qianyi finally conspired with his disciples again to assassinate several Qing army guards at the gates of the city gates and sacrificed his gates to Danyang County anyway, but it was only a commutation of the crime, and it was impossible to return to official career.

And Wang Duo and his confidants, along with other false civil servants stranded in Jiangyin, Wujin, Jintan and other counties, have now been captured alive.Given Wang Duo's original high position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing, his involvement in defecting to the enemy is naturally very wide, and he uprooted a large group of double-faced factions who were vacillating on the wall!
Naturally, his fate is much worse than Qian Qianyi's. After the interrogation is clear, he must be executed directly!

In addition, Zhu Shuren also has an extra trump card in his hand, which has become a bit redundant now, against Nanjing Donglin Fushe Rufu.

That was Gong Dingzi, the emissary sent by Azige to persuade Zhang Huangyan to surrender, captured by Zhang Huangyan in the battle of Nanyang Mansion.

This person, together with Qian Qianyi and Wu Meicun, is known as the Three Great Masters of Jiangzuo. He is also an important figure in Fushe and Donglin literary circles, and has friendship with many people.Before Zhang Huangyan detained him, he also tried to say that he had connections in Nanjing and wanted Zhang Huangyan to spare him.

Now that Zhu Shuren didn't have to be afraid of the Tartars at all, Gong Dingzi's confession was naturally a ticking time bomb enough to make Donglin and Fushe panic.Gong Dingzi once tried to get Zhang Huangyan to let him go by trying to make friends with someone, so the person he made friends with might be a traitor!
Zhu Shuren didn't want to expand the scope of attack, and he also wanted to play a trick of "after Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shao, he burned all the letters of the people who had privately communicated with Yuan Shao and paid money in public", so as to invite people's hearts and let everyone from now on Looking ahead in solidarity.

However, if anyone is really short-sighted, Zhu Shuren will not hesitate to kill a few more.

In fact, there is no lack of eyesight at any time, so before Zhu Shuren entered the city last night on New Year's Eve, he used thunderous means to clean up a few thorns as a countermeasure for "colluding with Gong Dingzi and other northern traitorous civil officials". No one dares to talk nonsense at all, and they can even follow a relatively simple procedure.

Then the others immediately became honest.

……

Presenting captives, visiting the mausoleum, and comforting the Taimiao, the three major ceremonies have been completed, and they have to enter and exit Nanjing City, but most of the day has passed.

When the entire process of changing Yuanlongwu was finally completed, the time had already been dragged from the late hour of Mao in the early morning to the beginning of Shen in the afternoon.

Everyone didn't even eat lunch, and they were already hungry.Even the emperor himself could only hide in the dragon chariot on the way back to the city from the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, while secretly drinking some ginseng soup and eating some snacks.

Other civil and military officials, at most, secretly eat some dry food and drink some water while riding on horseback.

The emperor also considered everyone's hunger, thirst and exhaustion, so he announced that he would give a dinner first, and then discuss the important issue of rewards and punishments at the banquet—of course, it was limited to the rewards for some of the most important characters. , I have to follow up with the cabinet process, and I don't have so much time today.

The banquet was held in the Qianqing Palace in Nanjing, which had just been renovated, and senior civil servants and generals could go to the palace.

Other representatives of the main meritorious officers and soldiers who are not of sufficient rank will hold lanterns and give banquets in the square in front of the hall, and place some short tables casually, and give some wine and meat.

Because the amount of offerings required for this part is too large, even Guanglu Temple can’t handle it, so it’s not about exquisite cooking. It can only be said that there is enough wine and meat, which is very rough.

The beef, mutton and pork with big fans and the whole chicken and duck that have been cut and washed to lose their feathers are washed and blanched indiscriminately, and they are simply chopped into large pieces and braised in braised stew before being served.If you don't like the taste, there is nothing you can do. In addition, throw some salt and pepper sauce and eat it.

Fortunately, the soldiers are rough people, they are used to suffering in the army, and they don't have too high requirements for the emperor's banquet. As long as they have enough wine and meat, they are satisfied. The main reason is to see the world.

The civil and military officials were naturally more concerned about eating and drinking. After a little relief from hunger, the emperor took the lead in speaking to the civil and military part of the Qianqing Palace:
"This time to wipe out Duoduo, as well as to kill the trespasser and avenge the late emperor before, there is no conclusion on the rewards. I think that the late emperor has given Zhu Qing the surname, and he is indeed a relative. I If you want to make him a king, what do you think?"

King? !
When these two words fell on the main hall, the voices of eating and drinking suddenly became softer, but until now, no one really jumped out to object immediately.

During the day just now, a group of Wang Duo's henchmen were disposed of, and they were imprisoned awaiting trial.Yesterday, several friends of Gong Dingzi who were "rebellious" were arrested, and Qian Qianyi and his core disciples and old officials were also in prison.

How many tough guys are left in this hall?

In the end, it was just a little timid, and in a tone of asking for advice, Wu Meicun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was asked to explain whether such a reward was in line with the imperial court's laws and the Taizu system.

Wumei Village has become the target of public criticism, so naturally there is no way to shirk it.
But he was originally Zhu Shuren's Shanzhang and Siye when he was in the Imperial College for a few months. How dare he tear down the teacher-student friendship?And he, the Minister of Rites, was appointed by Zhu Shuren after Qian Qianyi was removed.

Otherwise, judging from his qualifications, a few years ago he was only the Secretary of the Imperial Academy, but now he is promoted to Shao Zhanshi at most under normal promotion, which should be slightly lower than the Minister of Rites in conversion.

It is a great blessing to be able to go from being slightly lower than the servant to directly jumping to become a minister.If one of his students praised him like this, he had to reciprocate, otherwise he would be accused of injustice behind his back.

Fortunately, two of the "Three Great Masters of Jiangzuo" have already entered, and he is the only one who is still outside. He is also regarded as an academic authority in the dynasty, so Wu Weiye cited scriptures and argued for a long time, and the final conclusion is that giving the country's surname and making the king are respectively What the late emperor and the present did, this can be regarded as an internal move without avoiding relatives. The specific argumentation process is very complicated, and outsiders don't need to understand it.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites has all endorsed it, and Zhu Changhao has also stepped down, stroking the goatee very relievedly: "Okay, then tomorrow the cabinet will discuss the specific procedures, I think it is enough for the Duke of E to be promoted to King E.

In addition, since it is compared with the example of the clan prince, it is indeed necessary to coordinate the military and financial resources of the world in such a time of national calamity, and work together to overcome the national calamity.

Is it also necessary to restore the old system of the Taizu’s Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion or the Five Armies’ Governor’s Mansion, or set up a similar post to coordinate the entire army in the world, so as to facilitate the future northern expedition to the Central Plains and rebuild rivers and mountains? "

Inside the Qianqing Palace, there was a brief silence again. In the end, Shi Kefa, the chief assistant of the cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and took the lead in a sense of current affairs:
"Your Majesty's broad-mindedness is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you employ people like this without doubt, you can be called the most dignified ruler and minister. The prosperity of the past and the present, even though Zhao Lie of the Han Dynasty is better than Zhuge Liang, cannot match this.

The sage said that the journey of the avenue also means that the world is for the public.Your Majesty is always thinking of saving the common people and restoring the Central Plains, and his mind is undivided, not as good as the rest, although there has never been such a mind in ancient times.How dare the ministers not attach themselves to the tail, so as to achieve His Majesty's holiness and enjoy the atmosphere of Zhongxing together. "

At this moment, Shi Kefa actually wanted to understand that it was Zhu Shuren who could not save Daming.

The Tartars invaded and ravaged the Central Plains. This is no longer a matter of one family and one family name, but a matter of the survival of the world.Compared with Shenzhou Luchen and other small righteousness, what else is there to stick to?
And with Zhu Shuren's ingenious identity, Shi Kefa knew that he would not act recklessly, nor would he want to. He already knew too well what Zhu Shuren thought.

At worst, that is to say, in the future, the world will be Zhu Shuren's "son by blood, nephew by law".Daming Jiangshan's signboard can be kept forever, isn't that good?
