Chapter 461 What Prince E thinks is not about when he was alive
With the fall of Shengjing, the puppet capital of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the rule of the Manchu Qing in the Liaohe Plain fell apart.

However, it will take a few more months to run around and take over the remaining relatively fertile plain areas.

Moreover, when the fighting in Shengjing City completely subsided, it was already the middle of November in the ninth year of Longwu.
It is well known that the weather in the Northeast is extremely cold. During the Longwu period, the Little Ice Age had just eased, but the weather was still generally colder than normal.

It is also thanks to the fact that Liaodong is still closer to the sea after all, and it can still be ten to twenty degrees warmer than Jilin and Heilongjiang in later generations, so that we can keep using troops in November of the lunar calendar.Otherwise, if it gets colder, your fingers, nose and ears will freeze off when you go out.

After all, the Northeast is still very large. The three provinces in the later generations add up to more than 80 square kilometers. If the Inner Mongolia part of the Northeast is included, there will be a total of 50 million square kilometers.

Therefore, the latitude difference between the southernmost and northernmost parts of Northeast China can exceed [-] kilometers. This distance is basically equivalent to the latitude difference between Beijing and Fujian.It is not surprising that the difference in the lowest temperature in winter is nearly [-] degrees.

If the coldest winter in Heilongjiang can reach minus [-] degrees, it corresponds to minus [-] degrees in Liaodong.

Zhu Shuren still cared about the soldiers, so he explained to Li Dingguo and others before the battle that as long as Shengjing was captured, all remaining offensive actions could be ended before the twelfth lunar month.

Then let the troops transfer to the on-the-spot defense and maintain the law and order in the newly occupied area.Make sure that the soldiers can nest in the city to keep warm during the twelfth lunar month. At most, send some people out of the city during the day to cut firewood to ensure fuel.

Li Dingguo's Ministry also strictly implemented this order. After winning Shengjing in mid-November, it only took 20 days to enclose the land in a short period of time. Into the spot defense.

Only Wu Sangui's troops were a little more courageous, but they were mainly veterans of the Guanning Army who still had more than [-] soldiers under Wu Sangui. These people were originally from Liaodong and were more resistant to cold.

In addition, after Wu Sangui broke through various places in Liaodong, he also recruited some anyway troops, mainly veterans of the former Ming army who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Zu Dashou's family ten years ago.

Pick some that are relatively less rebellious and somewhat malleable, and reorganize them to make it easier to follow up with the local frontier troops in the Northeast to pursue the remnants of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the Songnen Plain, so as to avoid the low morale of outsiders who have served thousands of miles for a long time.

The follow-up pursuit of the remnants of Hauge may last for several years.It costs too much to let the southern soldiers fight this kind of vigilant pursuit and search and suppression war.In the words of the locals, even the difficulty of resupply can be lowered by a level. Since the world has been set, it is not easy to spend money randomly. These details must be considered.

After Tieling, Fushun and other places are settled, other small counties can wait until the spring of next year, when it is not so cold, and then gradually clear up and incorporate them.

……

The story is divided into two parts, Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui are divided into different places in Liaodong, but they are not qualified to deal with the captured false emperor Fulin.

So Li Dingguo just let Fulin stay in Shenyang for just seven or eight days, using it as a signboard to call the surrounding counties, and then let the elite cavalry escort him back to Beijing to wait for Zhu Shuren's fate.

The place name of Shenyang, of course, was ordered by Zhu Shuren to be changed before the war, and it was changed back to this name the next day after the city of Shengjing was broken—this place was originally called Shenyangwei before the year of Tianqi, and it was broken by Nuerhachi It was called Shengjing when it was later designated as a puppet capital. Now that it has returned to Daming, it is no problem to call it back to its original name.

The envoy who reported the situation of the battle arrived in Beijing on November [-]th, and escorted Fulin's guards, and it took more than ten days to arrive at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.After Zhu Shuren received the report, he naturally had to report it to Nanjing again, and at the same time asked for instructions on whether Fulin could be kept in Beijing so that other generals of the Qing army who were not attached to Zhao'an could be nearby.

The good news was sent from Beijing on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it was rushed to Nanjing on the tenth day of the six hundred miles. Finally, the good news was brought in at the end of the ninth year of Longwu. It is estimated that Emperor Longwu, Shi Kefa and other cabinet officials will have a good year.

The city of Nanjing was naturally decorated with lanterns and festoons. Emperor Longwu Zhu Changhao decreed to exempt the whole country from grain tax for one year next year (the grain needed by the imperial court was changed to be purchased by the government at a normal price) to show the universal celebration.

Prisoners from all over the world have also received a first-level amnesty, with felony commutations and misdemeanor releases as appropriate.

All the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were rewarded with an extra half-year salary increase, and the civil servants also received a half-year salary increase according to the normal salary——

The latter amount of money is a small amount, and the imperial court can afford it completely. Who made the officials of the Ming Dynasty have very low wages on paper? In fact, the main income is all based on greed.A magistrate is only worth a few taels to a dozen taels a month, which is nothing.

Since the book salary is low, this favor is happy to do.The Ministry of Household Affairs did some calculations, and paid half a year's salary to all officials in the country, which was more than 200 million taels of silver.

Although this amount of money is quite a lot, it is definitely worth having fun compared to the great achievements of destroying the country. After all, Daming has never wiped out such a level of universal celebration since then—this is a person who almost wiped out Daming. The most ferocious enemy to defeat the subjugated country, and the potential enemies of other feudal barbarians, are incomparable.

The only ones who didn't get honored by the way were those princes and clans.Who made the nominal wages of the vassal kings and clans too high, tens of thousands of taels a year, even if the number is small now, the emperor is not willing to be taken advantage of.A prince's nominal salary can support hundreds of county magistrates, which is too bad.

However, no one dared to object to this decision, because Zhu Shuren was also a vassal prince, and he took the lead in taking the vaccination, hoping that the emperor would not reward him because of his status as a prince when he gave amnesty to the world and distributed money all over the world.He only takes what he deserves for making decisions.

King E has made great achievements, and he is so open-minded. How dare other vassal kings extend this hand?
After the amnesty and rewards are done, there is one last big thing left, which is the promotion of meritorious ministers.

However, considering that Zhu Shuren hadn't returned yet, and the main meritorious generals ahead were still suffering, Shi Kefa asked the emperor to postpone this issue, and Zhu Changhao agreed.

He just made a statement at the court meeting, saying that the current stage of the credit is in his eyes, but he will wait until the final conclusion and Zhu Shuren's return to Beijing next year, and then make a long-term plan, and he will not treat the heroes badly.

And Zhu Shuren's request for other matters was also approved, and he was allowed to detain Fulin in Beijing for a long time without having to be transported back to Nanjing for trial.At the same time, he also granted Fulin a Marquis of Disobedience, guaranteeing his basic living conditions.

……

It was already the end of the twelfth lunar month in the ninth year of Longwu, and Zhu Shuren was not in a hurry to interrogate Fulin in the twelfth lunar month of winter.Those who celebrate Chinese New Year, who would want to work overtime? Anyway, the Northeast is cold, and military operations will resume at least in the third month of the next lunar calendar. Before that, Fulin is completely useless.

Zhu Shuren took his wives and concubines safely and spent a good year in Beijing, rewarding the soldiers to boost morale and rectify the internal affairs. He also checked the spoils and waited until the Lantern Festival was over before proceeding to interrogate Fulin.

Needless to say, during the Chinese New Year, Zhu Shuren checked the treasury of the Shengjing puppet treasury sent back by Li Dingguo, as well as the savings of the "House of Internal Affairs" yamen unique to the puppet Qing Dynasty. The large amount really shocked Zhu Shuren.

Three years ago, when the puppet Qing Dynasty gave up Beijing and fled, they plundered and looted Beijing in a frenzy, and robbed all the remaining Han dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, so they got a lot of money.

Although it is not as big as Li Zicheng's income at the beginning, there are still tens of millions of taels. After all, almost all the rich people in the heart of Hebei were killed.In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing Dynasty has always had many private houses.

A lot of these gold, silver and jewels were spent in the next three years. They were used to violate the trade embargo of Ming Dynasty and find traitors at the border to smuggle them in.

However, due to the shortage of goods, Zhu Shuren had strict checks. Only a small number of fishhooks they released could be traded smoothly, and most of the other traitor merchants would be hunted down and killed, so that some senior officials of the Qing court felt regretful:
There are no industrial products in the Northeast, and there is also a shortage of food. I knew that I had withdrawn from Beijing to transport more practical materials and equipment. The gold, silver and jewelry brought in did not have much room to spend.

Now that the three-year period has expired, Zhu Shuren ransacked the house in the end, and found that there were at least 3000 to 1000 million taels of property that had been robbed at the beginning, which was already between the stolen goods of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.And the Puppet Qing Household Office is still worth more than [-] million taels. If you add this part, it will be no less than Li Zicheng.

Daming suddenly gained 4000 million taels of extra wealth, which was worth the national agricultural and commercial tax for the past two years.Even if all the rewards and salary increases for soldiers and officials are deducted, there will still be 800 million taels left, which is more than one year's agricultural and commercial tax.

With this large sum of money, after the Qing Dynasty is completely wiped out, Daming will be able to recover faster and carry out in-depth control and construction of the Northeast.In the future, it will also be able to return to the road of recuperation and gradual expansion faster.

……

On the second day after the Lantern Festival, after sorting out the stolen goods that Li Dingguo had sent back, Zhu Shuren finally took the time to meet the captive Fulin, and held a banquet to suppress the surprise, and persuaded him to cooperate with Daming and become the "False Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" ".

"Fulin, are you guilty? Over the years, if Dorgon and Hauge were not the ones who actually held power, you would have been accused of committing crimes too late when you were captured! Now, it seems that you are still willing to repent and sincerely, so I gave you one. Opportunity, I hope you take care of yourself.

My Ming Dynasty is a country of civilization and etiquette. It has always been famous to be a teacher.If you can obediently cooperate, the courtesy of the Marquis can be used for life, and can be passed on to your descendants. "

At the beginning, what should be blamed is still to be counted. You have to give the other party a blow, show both grace and power, and finally convince people. Only this door-to-door job can be done better and have more subjective initiative.

Fulin was still young, and he was a little skeptical. At the beginning, he was ashamed, but hearing Zhu Shuren's high-sounding words seemed a little hypocritical, he couldn't help but refute, wanting to expose Zhu Shuren's hypocrisy:

"Prince E, the king of a subjugated country does not speak bravely, but now he is a fish and meat, so he has nothing to say. The swords and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are sharp, and we are no match for Qing Dynasty. The world knows it. However, you insist on saying that you are a state of etiquette and obedience. Heaven responds to people, and teachers are famous, so why bother.”

He didn't dare to say harsh words, but he was not convinced in his heart. If his fist was big, it would be better if his fist was big. They were shameless in the Qing Dynasty back then, so they were proud of having big fists.But Zhu Shuren is obviously relying on his fists, and he still tells him about his righteousness, which is disgusting.

Zhu Shuren couldn't help laughing. Han people are never afraid of talking loudly.

The other party is a prisoner, so under normal circumstances there is no need to waste words, this is just for the value of the other party's surrender, so just like Wala did to Bao Zong, give a little bit of patience to convince the other party.

"It seems that the Marquis of Rebellion is still dissatisfied. I will give you a chance today if I don't say sinners."

Zhu Shuren wanted to give the other party a chance to speak, but the staff next to him were chasing after him. Gu Yanwu rushed to echo and make up a few words:
"You pretended to steal the Central Plains once, pretended to be a false life, and spied on the divine weapon. Shouldn't you be guilty of destroying Wofu! I, Ming Dynasty, avenged the old capital of the late emperor, and it is right to destroy your whole family. Now Your Majesty and King E have given Isn’t it a chance for the rest of your clan to repent and start a new life?”

The reason why the Ming Dynasty recovered the lost ground was upright. The puppet Qing Dynasty was originally a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty who usurped and became self-reliant. It was fundamentally wrong from Nuerhachi, so Fulin had nothing to say, and Daming deserved to fight whatever he wanted.

He felt that Daming was hypocritical, and he could only grab one or two small points and choke a few words:

"Da Ming wants to take action against me. There is nothing to say. If you lose the battle, you will be incompetent, and you will be destroyed. I just think that there are some places that don't need whitewashing, so what if you are more open-minded?

Since our Qing retreated to Liaodong four years ago, we have not dared to invade the territory controlled by Ming Dynasty, and the two countries have ceased fighting for a long time.If Daming insists on asking for my land in Liaodong, he can naturally send envoys to discuss it, and ask for it openly.

In the end, regardless of the people's suffering in the flames of war, they launched a sneak attack in an attempt to plunder the captured city.In the end, what did you say about being a dignified teacher, being obedient to others..."

Gu Yanwu directly interrupted: "Why did my Ming soldiers sneak attack! Last year's battle was originally a sudden change, and it was found that your puppet Qing colluded with Chahar and Horqin Mongolia, violated my Ming embargo, and conspired to steal military supplies!

I, Daming, also cherish the lives and wealth of the border people, so I have no choice but to fight back decisively!What's more, don't you know whether you have colluded with the Horqin Ministry!It took me a month or two for the soldiers to attack Mongolia. I am afraid that you have already taken advantage of this period of time to strengthen your defense and resist the soldiers of the heavens. How dare you say a sneak attack? "

Fulin couldn't help laughing at Gu Yanwu's words: "You said that the army was to expand the pursuit of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia who violated the embargo, so they killed the border and fought against me all the way? Do you believe this?

The imperial court of your country is far away in Nanjing. At that time, Prince E never visited Beijing in person, did he?The frontier general in the north suddenly got new criminal evidence from the Mongols, shouldn't he ask your court for instructions, and then make a peace.

In such a big battle, could it be that the generals can decide to start the war on their own?After your country captured the homeland of Duoyan Zhuwei, it is only three or four days away from attacking Jinzhou again. If your country's decision to go to war was not foreseen and ordered in advance by your country's court, would they still dare to make their own decisions? "

When Gu Yanwu heard this, he was also a little startled. He didn't expect that Fulin, who had been the puppet emperor for ten years, still had some brains, and he could see the slightest flaw from this.

Indeed, when Ming first attacked Mongolia to find an excuse to start the war again, it was also to boost internal morale with the same enemy. After defeating Mongolia, it rushed directly across the border between Tongliao and Jinzhou, and continued to fight against the Qing, without giving the Qing people a buffer to breathe.

This is also because after the offensive is launched, the momentum is overwhelming, and going through the process will definitely be military disadvantages, and the lives of soldiers should not be wasted for the sake of fame.

However, if you look closely, this is also a place where you can get help.Although history is written by the victors, the victors can be free from blame, but it is better to make up for the stains that can be made up-sometimes this is not for the enemy, but for oneself, so that future generations can better control the military department , to prevent the occurrence of "down and up" alone.

Therefore, Zhu Shuren really made up for this loophole in advance.

Gu Yanwu couldn't help casting an admiring look at the prince, and then proudly and righteously announced to Fulin:

"Of course it is impossible for the Ming court to predict that the Horqin tribe is still colluding with you! When Liu Guoneng was asked to send troops to Chahar and Horqin, the order he gave was indeed to attack Mongolia first, and did not ask him to start a full-scale war with your puppet Qing!
Therefore, Liu Guoneng and others expanded the war privately, and my court of Ming Dynasty only recognized it after the fact, and punished Liu Guoneng and other generals for this matter! "

Of course, this so-called "punishment" was obviously Zhu Shuren's act.Discipline on the surface, once the limelight passes in the future, if there are more promotions and more rewards, they should still be given.Zhu Shuren would not actually deceive meritorious generals and confidant military officials.

As soon as Gu Yanwu's words came out, Fulin was finally completely shocked, and it also subverted the three views to a certain extent.

It turns out that there is really such a civilized and etiquette country in the world?Does the teacher have to be famous?How could such a country really overthrow such a shameless barbarian like the Qing Dynasty in the end?How can it be?

"Liu Guoneng...was actually punished by your court of the Ming Dynasty for making decisions without authorization and starting a war with me in advance?" When Fulin confirmed this sentence, his tone was a little dazed.

Gu Yanwu said without blushing: "Of course, there is an imperial edict as evidence, how can there be a false one? And the edict was issued a few months ago, otherwise, how could Liu Guoneng not be able to participate in the battle of Shengjing? Let Li Dingguo and other departments ?

In the past Tang Dynasty, Li Deyu sat in Xichuan, started a border war privately, and provoked Tubo.My Ming country is strict in law, and I convince people with virtue, so how can I allow the generals to decide on their own whether to fight or make peace!If you have meritorious service, you will be promoted, and if you have done something wrong, you will be punished. "

Fulin was finally ashamed by what was said, and the contempt in his heart completely dissipated, and he was convinced that he was willing to cooperate with Daming and be responsible for calling the door.

……

For the next half month, Fulin ate and drank in Beijing to undergo brainwashing. As time entered the beginning of February, Zhu Shuren asked the generals to escort him and went to the remaining cities in Liaodong to call the door.

In other places in Liaodong that were still resisting sporadically, seeing that the original emperor was being detained by the Ming army, and he was in a state of convincing, and he could tell a set of regrets, the morale of the army collapsed and they surrendered one after another.

After the territory on the Liaohe Plain was completely settled within a few months, Huang Degong and Li Dingguo still held Fulin in custody, and continued to try their luck with the surrounding Mongolians. .

In the city of Beijing, when Gu Yanwu finally knew how everything was going smoothly, he couldn't help but be amazed, and he raised more incomprehensible and profound questions. He couldn't help but ask Zhu Shuren for advice:

"My lord, I didn't expect that I, who was already invincible in the Ming Dynasty, would pay attention to these details in the end. I could reap such a miraculous effect of convincing people with virtue when I temporarily demoted General Liu Guoneng and others.

I used to read history in a humble job, and read that Tang Ting was reprimanded by Tang Ting because of Li Deyu's private quarrel and regained several states in western Sichuan occupied by Tubo. It was often interpreted as a struggle between Niu and Li, which was a manifestation of the darkness at the end of Tang Dynasty. Can it be meaningful? "

Zhu Shuren didn't want to say too much: "It's hard to say what happened to the late Tang Dynasty. They may not deserve deep meaning, but of course there is deep meaning in doing things alone. You just need to learn a little bit, and if you don't understand it, just implement it."

He is familiar with the history of 24 and is well versed in both Chinese and foreign countries, so of course he knows the importance of doing so.

Many traversers like to be tough in diplomacy, shameless, and feel that it is beneficial to grab the territory.

It is also easy to interpret Zhu Shuren's shameless diplomacy as "to be shameless but not to benefit, to limit external expansion, and the industrial age is coming, this is self-defeating martial arts."

But Zhu Shuren never said that if he guides the development of Daming in this way, it will lead to no expansion!
Expansion is of course expansion!
Moreover, when the demand for industrialized raw material supply and product dumping becomes prominent, private capital will expand spontaneously, which is simply unstoppable.The government only needs to manage the general sluice well to prevent flood irrigation. As for insufficient irrigation, it is impossible.

If there is no productivity, it is a dream to expect the relationship of production to expand by itself. When the productivity rises, it must expand if it does not expand.Instead of worrying about not expanding in the future, it is better to worry about whether technology can climb to the top echelon in the world in the future, and whether productivity can be the strongest and most expandable.

Zhu Shuren's diplomatic gatekeeping proposition is at most just that, first of all, expansion should not be put on a positive feedback loop from the underlying political logic, and be self-motivated and strengthened by the Matthew Effect flywheel effect.

It has to be the old "I won't attack if people don't attack me, and I will attack if people attack me" explained in a face-saving way. You have to find good excuses, and you have to do a full set of plays.

For example, this time, Liu Guoneng will leave an excuse, so stop it in advance, never leave a problem in the current world or in the history books, why not stop it if you can stop it.

And in fact, don’t think that robbery in Western countries is completely shameless—those who are completely shameless often don’t last long. Spain, Portugal and even the Netherlands are shameless for a long time, but have their territories lasted long?

Before World War II, Germany and Japan also fell into the self-motivation and reinforcement of "there is no need to find a good reason, just over-expansion, or self-assessment and expansion", and finally collapsed.If Mustache could step on the brakes after the Czech issue, he would have been the top great man in German history. As for the Japanese pirates, let alone the scourge of Xia Ke.

And those who have digested the expansion results in their stomachs, such as the Angsa double traitors and the Luocha people, they are the only expansion countries on the earth that have expanded to millions or even tens of millions of square kilometers since the 19th century.But these three just pay attention to the fig leaf, and focus on controlling their own people's desire to go alone.

Americans are the darkest, that is, the Mexican-American War, and others are more embarrassing.

Even the Raksha people have a side that most of the general public has not learned. In 1856, Nicholas I wrongly launched a war against the Ottomans, causing the empire to fall into a quagmire. After the end of the war, he committed suicide by taking poison. Until the expansion and recovery of blood in the 1860s, the Raksha people paid great attention to diplomatic face.

When Yig Moumouyev made troubles and over-expanded the territory of the five later generations of Central Asia.Every time Ambassador Dai Yin went to protest against Alexander II, Alexander II would spread his hands and complain to Ambassador Dai Yin:
This is not the meaning of the relevant departments of the empire's foreign affairs and the emperor!You also know that our Rakshasa country is backward in technology, and has not yet installed telegraphs. Central Asia is far behind, and the local military officers in the theater are like warlords!They are the ones who go out on their own to provoke and start wars on their own!It does not represent our country's diplomatic attitude!It will definitely be severely punished!

And the final result?Both: If you lose, you will be punished severely.

If they win the battle and open up another piece of land, just like what Zhu Shuren did to Liu Guoneng now, he will be promoted first, and then when the limelight passes and Ambassador Dai Yin no longer stares at him, he will be promoted in earnest.

But superficial skills must be done well, because only in this way can we prevent the real occurrence of "military subordinates restraining superiors and walking alone" in the future.

The Japanese pirates obviously didn't do a good job in this aspect, so they had indigestion in the land they occupied, and finally vomited it all out (thanks to their failure to do a good job, this is God bless China).

And if you look carefully at the history books of the Raksha people, you will know that they not only have to do a good job on the surface in Central Asia, but also in the north of the "other Qing Dynasty" in later generations. It can be seen that such diplomatic experience is of universal learning and promotion value. of.

According to the official propaganda, after 1856, what Alexander II meant with the relevant foreign affairs department was "We were just beaten up by the British and French forces on a peninsula near Tuji, and Mite Qing on the opposite side was just beaten up by the British and French forces." After entering the Old Summer Palace, our two bitter masters can form an alliance to deal with Britain and France."

And it was the same general Ig-so-yev who had been flexing his muscles in Central Asia mentioned just now, when he came to negotiate here in Chiqing, he once again showed his strengths and went his own way.I won’t go into details about the results of the final negotiations, as they are included in junior high school textbooks.

Afterwards, Alexander II still told Xianfeng that he didn't know about it according to the old practice.

The so-called learning from the barbarians to control the barbarians, Zhu Shuren is both Chinese and foreign. The history of later generations has long proved that this kind of operation of throwing the pot to his subordinates to "open frontal provocations privately, and openly and secretly rise" can best disintegrate international hatred and suppress it. The real rhythm of downs and downs is the easiest way to secure the benefits gained.

Then Zhu Shuren has no reason not to use such an easy-to-use trick for the Chinese civilization.

No matter how vicious the trick is, it is a good trick if it can be used by me.

Don't think it's hypocrisy to punish your own personnel who seem to have made mistakes for the sake of diplomatic face. Both Angsa and Luocha have done this.Politics and diplomacy are such esoteric and vicious things, and this has nothing to do with camp positions.

Zhu Shuren's every step of consideration is not the happiest when he himself was alive, but it is definitely the most conducive to the long-term stability of the over-expanded area from the perspective of a large time scale of hundreds of years.
