I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 428 History of Southern Ming Dynasty "Yongle Dadian" Shi Dian
Later generations talked about Ming Wuzong. In addition to being easily soluble in water, it was this Yingzhou victory.

However, this really cannot be entirely blamed on Minister Wu Zong, because Wu Zong sneaked out on his own, and the historian knew nothing about the whole process.Moreover, the Yingzhou victory ended in a draw, and neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Tatars took advantage, so it was not easy to write it as a great victory.

"Records of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty" records: "16 people were killed in the Mongolian army and 52 people were killed in the Ming army."

This was even the protection of Wu Zong by the royalists at that time. As long as I write outrageously enough, no one will believe that I never fought against the Tatars in the Ming Dynasty.

By the way, Wu Zong also said that he beheaded a Mongolian general in the battle of Yingzhou. After discussing with other historians, Xiao Renfang believed that this should be true.

Because the numbers are too specific, and there are so many personal soldiers around Wu Zong. Strictly speaking, the enemies killed by these soldiers are all attributed to Wu Zong, so there is a high probability that the first level of beheading is actually the first level of beheading.

Zhu Yijiong read the Chronicles of Wuzong, nodded and said: "Since there is no problem, let's compile it like this! If there is any dispute, the source can be included in it. If it is really impossible to verify, just include all the relevant ones, like Xianzong just now I have done a good job in this book. Let future generations judge the right and wrong!"

Xiao Renfang quickly stood up and cupped his hands in response: "I obey your order."

Zhu Yijiong continued to review, and there was basically nothing to say about Wu Zong after that. Jiajing did not go to court for 20 years, and he made elixirs and cultivated immortality in the palace. Later, Wanli was even more amazing. He did not go to court for 40 years, and directly destroyed the country.

Later generations often stated that the actual death occurred in Wanli, and even worse, that the actual death occurred in Jiajing.

This is not just to say that Nurhachi started the army during the Wanli period, but also that these two men had serious problems in governing the country.

No matter how self-willed Chongzhen was, at least the country still had an emperor. Even the emperors in Jiajing and Wanli disappeared. Wanli did not go to court for 40 years, did not manage the country, and even ignored the resignation of ministers.

This led to a state of anarchy in the Wanli dynasty, and even the chancellor could not be born, because at least half of the officials in the entire country's central administrative team were lacking.

Moreover, in order for the Ming Dynasty's cabinet to do things, it must have the emperor Zhu Pi. If you can't see the emperor, where will the power come from?

Zhu Yijiong quickly turned to Chongzhen, thought for a moment, and then wrote Zhu Zhu: "Yes."

"There is no problem with the chronicle of "History of the Ming Dynasty", let's just compile it like this!" Zhu Yijiong closed the first draft.

call!
Xiao Renfang breathed a sigh of relief. He had finished his manuscript with the emperor.

Zhu Yijiong was quite sad. Judging from the first draft, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty after Wu Zong were simply better than the last... The only one who was better, Longqing, was still a short-lived emperor, and Longqing's switch and I's tribute seemed to have eased the Ming Dynasty. The domestic situation in Korea also caused the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's border troops to plummet.

The Ming Dynasty's frontier troops before Longqing were still very effective, because from time to time these frontier troops would go to fight against the Mongols, rob those Mongolian tribes, and earn military exploits by the way.

After I paid tribute, Ming Dynasty and Mongolia formed an alliance, and the army there could no longer attack the Mongolian tribes, and this was exactly Long Qing's purpose.Because the Ming Dynasty's finances could no longer afford so many powerful border troops, peace on the border must be restored and these border troops should be disbanded.

As a king who lost his country, Chongzhen was highly praised in the "History of the Ming Dynasty". Not only did the Manchus blame all the blame for the demise of the Ming Dynasty on the ministers, but they also recognized that Chongzhen was a good emperor who was diligent in government and loved the people.

Shunzhi even specially rebuilt the imperial mausoleum in Chongzhen to make it less shabby.

The temple name of Chongzhen was determined to be Sizong. This was not a unilateral decision by Zhu Yijiong, but the temple name originally given to him by Nanming was Sizong, which was the same as the one given by Li Zicheng, but it was later changed in a mess.

Qinzong, Liezong, Jingzong, Qianzong, Qianzong, Yizong, Weizong... Huaizong, who was named after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as early as the 16th year of Shunzhi, used the title of "promoting the dynasty to posthumously honor the kings of the previous generation. The courtesy is not known, and the number is not known." He was deposed on the grounds of "Zong" and his posthumous title was changed to Emperor Zhuang Lie.

Xiao Renfang took the first draft without immediately resigning. After thinking about the language for a while, he asked: "Your Majesty, how should the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty be compiled? Should it be included in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", or should it be included in a separate volume?"

History of Southern Ming Dynasty?
Not to mention this thing that can easily cause high blood pressure, Zhu Yijiong couldn't remember it for a while.

This is all because the Manchus revised the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and deliberately deleted the Nanming section.Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted to demonstrate the legitimacy of its entry into the Pass, then the Southern Ming Dynasty had to be a puppet dynasty.

In his previous life, Zhu Yijiong was so angry that he had high blood pressure when he read the History of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but now he has almost taken it lightly: "When it is included in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", you can do it how you want, but you must be realistic and seek truth from facts. There is no need to deliberately avoid taboos."

"The minister obeys the order."

Xiao Renfang was secretly relieved. The history of the Southern Ming Dynasty was really a hot potato. From the emperor to the civil servants and generals, each operation was more abstract than the last, so abstract that he did not dare to write.

Now that we have the emperor's will, we at least have the courage to write.

The next day, Zhu Yijiong was doing his daily work in Jinshen Palace. Lin Jingyu, the Minister of Rites, and Lu Youlong, the Minister of Propaganda, came to pay homage to the emperor.Lin Jingyu said: "Your Majesty, all copies of "Yongle Dadian" have been shipped to Nanjing, and the Ministry of Rites has started editing and correcting them."

Zhu Yijiong nodded: "The compilation and correction of the copy of "Yongle Dadian" does not happen overnight. It should be to ensure that the content is accurate. There is no need to deliberately delete it to avoid royal taboos."

Zhu Yijiong had no intention of shelving the "Yongle Dadian". On the contrary, he was still directing the Ministry of Ling and Rites to select volumes that could be published and distributed, so that the Propaganda Department could print them into books and sell them for private promotion.

It would be a pity that such a literary wealth is only kept in the royal family and is basically ignored.

Lin Jingyu cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order."

Zhu Yijiong looked at Lu Youlong again and asked, "Is the Propaganda Department's movable type printing ready?"

Lu Youlong replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Propaganda Department has newly carved more than 24 jujube wood movable types and more than [-] jujube wood punctuation marks. It has also newly cast more than [-] copper movable types and more than [-] copper punctuation marks. There are also more There are more than [-] copper coins without characters. The total cost is more than [-] taels of silver, and we can start printing new books at any time."

Movable type printing has gradually become the mainstream in the pre-Ming Dynasty, but official printing was still dominated by woodblock printing. Until the Qing Dynasty, all movable types were uniformly used, among which wooden movable type printing was the most common, second only to woodblock printing.

Because wooden movable type was cheap enough and simple and efficient to produce, only the royal family printing in the imperial court would use copper movable type to distinguish them.

In another time and space this year, Yongzheng carved 25 copper movable types for printing the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books". Qianlong then melted all these movable types to cast copper coins and Buddha statues on the grounds that this thing was useless.

Zhu Yijiong thought for a while and said: "The wooden movable type is almost enough, but the copper movable type is still too little. We can cast more new ones."

Although copper movable type is more expensive, it also has its own advantages. Not only can it be stored longer than wooden movable type, but the printing effect is indeed better than that of wooden movable type. There is a chance that wooden movable type will blur when exposed to water.

Lu Youlong said: "I have ordered the printing factory to cast a new batch of copper movable types and carve more jujube and pear wood movable types."

The publication and printing factory is not only under the Propaganda Department, but also has the responsibilities of the Propaganda Department and the Royal Printing House. On weekdays, it prints publications for the Propaganda Department, and it can also cooperate with private merchants for printing.

Zhu Yijiong looked at the list of copies of "Yongle Dadian" in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. This copy was brought back from Wenyuan Pavilion in Beijing.

The real original has long been lost, and even the copies destroyed and looted by the Eight-Nation Alliance in another time and space were copies.

A few days later, Zhu Yijiong met Ma Guangyu, who came to perform Hajj in Jinshen Hall.

Ma Guangyu is the grandson of Ma Hongyi, the current Shili Xuanweisi, and it was because of Ma Guangyu's two sons that the Shili Xuanweisi was eventually transferred to his native land.

"Ma Guangyu, Shi Ting, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Tomorrow!"

Zhu Yijiong smiled and said: "Sit down if you are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Guangyu stood up respectfully, feeling quite happy. The Ming Emperor treated him with such courtesy and attention, so the purpose of his trip should be successful.

Ma Guangyu said: "Your Majesty, the Tatars of the Puppet Qing Dynasty are cruel and cruel, making the people of Sichuan miserable. Now that Master Wang has entered Sichuan, the people in Sichuan are all cheering and welcoming Master Wang."

Zhu Yijiong said: "Tatars are Tatars, but the people of Sichuan and Ma Qing have suffered!"

Ma Guangyu stood up, took a step forward and knelt down: "Now that the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court have arrived, Shi Ling is willing to follow the king's heavenly soldiers. I sincerely ask your majesty to grant Shi Ling the title and seal of the Xuanwei envoy."

Zhu Yijiong nodded: "It seems that Shi Li is really my loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

Ma Guangyu didn't even get up: "Shi Dian today is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, just as Shi Dian was loyal to the Ming Dynasty before."

Zhu Yijiong said very generously: "In this case, according to your regulations, I will give Shi Ling the Xuanwei envoy and the seal."

Ma Guangyu was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
