Chapter 250: Jingguan

Although Emperor Xuanzong has always acquiesced to the suppression of the nobles by civil officials, there is no reason for this. And Zhu Qizhen is not as good as Emperor Xuanzong in this regard, that is to say, in fact, the core of Zhu Qizhen's rule is essentially a civilian-official group.

Zhu Qizhen's management of the army is more of the mentality of a civilian clique.

This is the statement of the meritorious and high-shaking master.

Because if the emperor had absolute control over the army, there would be no such thing at all.

Just like when Emperor Taizu was in the past, didn't Xu Da have much credit? But Xu Da was able to start and finish well, and passed on the name to future generations, because Emperor Taizu had the ability to fully suppress Xu Da.

And Xuanzong was still a little suspicious of Zhang Fu, and when he arrived in Zhu Qizhen, the generals wanted to avoid trouble and self-defilement, but they saw the problem here.

Meng Ying participated in the whole process of the emperor's deal with the Jingnan Xungui group.

Of course, the emperor's means are unannounced, and they are not even explicitly stated, but Meng Ying, as the biggest weight that Zhu Qizhen used to balance the Jingnan Xungui group, has some things that cannot be hidden from him.

Meng Ying understood that the emperor must have a final solution.

Now after Meng Ying won this battle, he has reached the status of the Duke of Chengguo back then, but I'm sorry, he has also changed from Zhu Qizhen's right-hand man to another opponent of Zhu Qizhen.

As long as Zhu Qizhen can't control the whole army like Taizu Taizong, and the Ming army still has strong combat effectiveness, then the position of the first person in the military will be the emperor's opponent.

This is not a matter of personal feelings.

Because the army must have combat effectiveness, as the first person in the military, it must have enough power and authority, so the emperor has to worry, won't such a big power backlash?

To solve this problem, there are two solutions, the first is that the emperor personally controls the army, which is impossible. Zhu Qizhen is very self-aware, Zhu Qizhen is not the emperor immediately, and the matter of fighting a war is too cost-effective for the emperor, because even if the emperor wins, he is still the emperor, and it is impossible to rise again. If he is defeated, he will bury thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

The second is to break up the weakened army, and set up more mountains in the army, so that they will be set against each other.

This was the emperor's usual method for his courtiers.

But in the military, it is not very suitable.

If there are many mountains in the army, contradictions are deeply hidden, and this will directly affect the combat effectiveness.

An army with strong combat effectiveness has always been a double-edged sword, for those who have the ability, it is like a tiger with wings, but for those who are not capable, it will hurt themselves.

In Meng Ying's eyes, although she is young today and a little immature in many things, on the whole, she can be regarded as a promising master. But for the courtiers, the more Mingjun is under the hands, the more difficult it is.

So, a lot of things he wants at the moment

Ready to go.

For example, this one thing now.

It is true that at this moment, Daming's finances have entered the most difficult stage, because many things can be delayed during the war, but after the war, it is finally time to do it.

For example, bereavement, such as rewards, such as almsgiving. Wait a minute.

But even so, it's not another way, and those who dispose of these people, not to mention anything else, the nobles here pull it out and let their tribe pay, and they can always make a profit.

If these captives are taken off and not spent, maybe they will not be spoiled, and they will have the confidence to break their wrists first. Although there are still many problems with this plan.

The biggest problem was the emperor's attitude, and Meng Ying knew that the emperor would not agree to this plan to a large extent. The reason is very simple, the emperor made such a big move in Beijing, and even the edict of the guilty, and now he is still in the temple for Taizu Taizong to watch. The emperor's intention is that there will be no form of relaxation with the Northern Yuan.

Therefore, Meng Ying's killing solved a trouble for His Majesty, and also gave herself a reputation for being good at killing. With this reputation, I'm afraid it can also dispel His Majesty's suspicions.

It's all about killing multiple birds with one stone.

Just when Meng Ying explained the reasons behind Meng Yuan in detail.

Tens of thousands of Tartars are facing their final moments.

Countless Tartars were driven into a valley.

This valley was chosen in advance, the mountain is relatively steep, there are mountains on three sides, only one side of the gap, in order to prevent the Tartars from climbing, on the top of the three sides, there are soldiers to guard.

The Tartars don't know what is going on yet.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars who surrendered were generally better, and even several emperors of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were captured by the Ming army and finally released. You can see it.

Waiting for an order from the army, the bows and crossbows were fired in unison. Only then did these people know what the Ming army was going to do?

But at this moment, everything was over, and they all had no iron in their hands, only a sound of shabby clothes, and faced countless firearms, artillery, bows, crossbows and arrows. Where can there be a way to live.

Countless Tartars tried to fight their lives, but they were all killed in front of the Ming army, and then a large group of sword and shield men followed behind the fire gunners, and after the firearms opened the way, any sword and shield hands were beheaded.

It's just that killing people is also a hard work, and it took more than an hour to kill these tens of thousands of Tartars.

Counting all the Tartars killed by the various departments, there are more than 93,000, and Meng Ying waved his hand and counted 100,000. Immediately, after counting these heads, they were placed in the shape of a pyramid of human heads, one for 10,000 heads, but one with a small head, and there was rammed earth in the middle, and the head was placed on the face.

From a distance, it looks like a hill.

This generation does not have a name, but the local hunters have a name, that is, it is called Montenegro, but the Montenegro that the locals refer to is not a mountain, but a large and small mountain in this area.

After this battle, Montenegro was settled in the place of Jingguan.

It is even more rumored that there are ghosts in this place who go deep into hell, and whenever it rains, there are fierce ghosts who come out of hell and wreak havoc on the world. ”

That's for another time.

The Ming army did not mention it.

Before he came back, news came one after another, which made Zhu Qizhen happy three times a day, and he was simply overjoyed.

This big battle, beheading 100,000 people, is enough to inspire the hearts of the world.

Although Zhu Qizhen strengthened the heart of everyone in the court with the help of the battle of Maoerzhuang, after Zhu Qizhen's edict, the court rarely united and supported the Ming army to fight in the court.

even once let hundreds of officials be half served.

Zhu Qizhen reduced his clothes and diet, sold official porridge, of course, he was serious about his official position, Zhu Qizhen did not dare to sell it, because the impact was too bad, but the gentry sold a gift for their ancestors, which was nothing more than a better look on the grave.

Even so, many gentry are reluctant. After all, no one is stupid. This false name is worth hundreds of taels of silver.

But many magistrates have taken a near-coercive approach.

Only then did he gather millions of taels of silver to fill the hole.

It even affected another industry, that is, stonemasonry, after all, a few hundred taels were spent, and it was not a few taels of silver, so that the ancestors could change a tombstone for the sake of their ancestors.

If it weren't for Zhu Qizhen's establishment of governors in all provinces in the official system to establish the status of local governors, and the governors were watching, the administrative capacity of the third or fourth divisions in various localities would have greatly increased, and this might not have been possible.

And without the unprecedented unity of the Ming Dynasty in the fight against the tile, the efficiency of the civilian clique would not be so high.

But the battle of Maoerzhuang was a defeat after all, a defeat that made Zhu Qizhen unforgettable, and the biggest setback since Zhu Qizhen was in power in the past few years.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't wait to take a mouthful of snake gall every day, taste it in his mouth, and then let the eunuch ask: "Have you forgotten Maoerzhuang?" ”

Although Zhu Qizhen can't do it to the extent of the Murong family, he is also deeply hidden in his heart and angry about this battle.

This battle can be regarded as a bad breath for Zhu Qizhen.

Not only Zhu Qizhen was happy, but when the news spread, the entire capital was thunderous as if it was the New Year. After all, the soldiers who died in the first battle of Maoerzhuang were all from the Beijing camp, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp were from dozens of guards around the capital.

In other words, they are all children of Shuntianfu. I grew up in Beijing.

Now that he is taking revenge, both the Ming officials and the ordinary people are very happy, but before the news has cooled down, Meng Ying has made a big problem for Zhu Qizhen, that is, the beheading of 100,000 yuan.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was in a dilemma.
