Chapter 108: Offering His Majesty
In the early morning of the next day, on the outskirts of the capital, iron hooves were trampled and war horses neighed.
Thousands of lieutenants in brocade clothes went out of Beijing, cruising in the fields and official roads, interrogating suspicious characters that appeared, and those who resisted were killed on the spot.
The Son of Heaven and the hundred officials must go out of the city to welcome the triumphant return army, and the Jinyi Guard must do a good job of security.
In the capital, the officials of Shuntian Mansion beat gongs and drums to inform the people of the great victory of Texas, and the brave guard camp offered prisoners.
Suddenly, the people of the entire capital were excited, and they were waiting to see the style of the Son of Heaven's army.
Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.
Empress Zhou personally put on armor for Emperor Chongzhen and sorted out his uniform.
"Your Majesty's personal expedition is imminent, and the concubines can't be with you, so you can only eat fasting and chant Buddha in the palace, and bless Your Majesty and the soldiers to return triumphantly!"
After taking care of it, Empress Zhou reluctantly said to Emperor Chongzhen.
As the mother of a country, she can't drag Emperor Chongzhen's hind legs, she can only think about it in pieces.
"The queen doesn't have to worry, I have soldiers to protect me, and I'm safe!"
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, wearing a stylish uniform, Emperor Chongzhen was full of ambition.
Since he prepared the spare tire, he has no worries and can go out with peace of mind.
At this time, Lao Wang came in and said: "Emperor, the forward of the Yongwei Battalion can reach the capital in half an hour!" ”
In this sacrifice of prisoners, Chen Qiyu took great pains to divide the Yongwei Battalion into two parts.
Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, and Sun Yingyuan each led 500 elite cavalry, and took the lead in rushing to the capital as a forward.
And he himself led the other soldiers to take part of the food and salary seized by Texas.
In a word, he gave the matter of showing his face to Huang Degong and the others.
After listening to the report, Emperor Chongzhen left Kunning Palace and went to meet the army with the three dukes and the six Shangshu who were waiting outside the palace.
Riding on horseback and walking on the royal road, the people of the capital shouted long live to the heroic Chongzhen Emperor in full uniform.
And Emperor Chongzhen also tried his best to keep a smile on his face and waved at them.
It should be said that although state affairs are becoming decadent, the people's hearts and minds are still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, after more than two hundred years of rule, the Ming Dynasty has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In 1360, he was invited by Zhu Yuanzhang to Yingtian (now Nanjing) and appointed him as a minister. Assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to concentrate his forces to destroy Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and other forces. Liu Bowen also suggested that Zhu on the one hand break away from the "Little Ming King" Han Lin'er to stand on his own, but on the other hand, he used the "Great Ming" as the national name to attract the hearts of the world's righteous teachers.
At this time, Chen Youliang captured Taiping (now Dangtu County, Anhui), intending to go east, and his momentum was very arrogant. Some of the generals under Zhu Yuanzhang's account persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender, and some thought that it was necessary to avoid his edge and then defend Nanjing (Nanjing was called Zhongshan at that time). Zhu Yuanzhang was still undecided, and Liu Ji was silent. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he had his own insight, so he summoned him into the inner room to make decisions with him, and Liu Ji thought that anyone who surrendered or discussed escape should be punished so as not to disturb the morale of the army. Liu Ji believes that Chen Youliang is arrogant and empty-eyed, and does not take us seriously at all, and we should take advantage of the opportunity when he is arrogant and complacent and does not listen to different opinions to lure the enemy into an ambush and inflict heavy losses on him in one fell swoop, so as to extinguish his sharp spirit. Liu Ji said: "After the way of heaven, the one who lifts wins, I wait for work, why not be in trouble, if you pour the treasury, open to sincerity, to strengthen the hearts of the people, ambush the soldiers to fight it, win the victory, in order to become the king's industry, in this move also." It was at the critical juncture when Wu was founded, everything was waiting to be prospered, and he was suddenly confronted with a strong enemy and different internal views, Liu Ji said a few words, cleared the fog, broke through the situation, agreed on decisions, united people's hearts, and forged ahead for the completion of the royal business.
In the twenty-seventh year of Zhizheng (1367), he participated in the formulation of Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy for destroying the Yuan Dynasty and was realized. He has participated in military aircraft for eight years and planned the overall situation. [5]
Persuade you to buy goodness
In the first year of Wu (1367), Zhu Yuanzhang took Liu Ji as the Taishi Order, and Liu Ji presented the "Wushen Great Unification Calendar". The glowing star appeared in the heart position, indicating that there was a military disaster, and Liu Ji asked Zhu Yuanzhang to issue an edict against himself. The weather was dry, Liu Ji asked to deal with the long-accumulated unjust case, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Liu Ji to rehabilitate, and heavy rain fell from the sky. Liu Ji seized the opportunity to ask for the establishment of a legal system to prevent indiscriminate killings. Zhu Yuanzhang was about to execute the prisoner at this time, Liu Ji asked what the reason was, and Zhu Yuanzhang told him about his dream. Liu Ji said: "This is an auspicious sign for gaining territory and people, so we should stop the execution and wait." Three days later, Haining surrendered, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, so he handed over all the prisoners to Liu Ji for release. In the twenty-seventh year of Yuan Zhizheng (1368), the emperor was on the throne, and the capital was Yingtian (now Nanjing City), and the country name was Daming. The Ming Dynasty was formally established, and Liu Ji was awarded the title of Imperial History and Taishi Ling. [5]
Strict law and discipline
After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, Liu Ji played the formulation of the Military Health Law. When the state tax grain was determined, it was modeled after the Song Dynasty system of adding five per mu, except for Qingtian County, Taizu said: "Let Liu Bowen's hometown pass on this matter to a beautiful talk from generation to generation." "When Taizu toured Bianliang, Liu Ji stayed in the capital with Li Shanchang, the prime minister of Zuo. Liu Ji thought that the Song and Yuan dynasties were too lenient and lost the world, so they should rectify the discipline, so he ordered the imperial history to report and impeach, without any scruples, and the guards, eunuchs, and attendants, all who made mistakes, all played the crown prince and punished according to law, so everyone was afraid of Liu Ji's majesty. Li Bin, the governor of Zhongshu Province, was punished for greedy for personal gain and conniving at his subordinates, Li Shanchang has always favored Li Bin privately, so he asked for leniency, Liu Ji did not listen, and sent someone to ride a horse to report to Taizu, and when it was approved, Liu Ji beheaded Li Bin when he prayed for rain. Because of this incident, Liu Ji and Li Shanchang began to have a discord. After Taizu returned to Beijing, Li Shanchang complained to Taizu, saying that Liu Ji killed people under the altar soil, which was disrespectful. Those who usually resented Liu Ji also framed Liu Ji one after another. At that time, it was a drought, and Taizu asked the ministers to express their opinions, and Liu Ji said: "For the deceased, all their wives moved to live in other camps, a total of tens of thousands of people, which caused the yin qi to be depressed. After the death of the craftsman, the rotting corpses and bones were exposed, and the surrendered Wu generals were all incorporated into the military household, which was enough to coordinate the qi of yin and yang. Taizu took his advice, but after ten days there was still no rain, so he became angry. At this time, it happened that Liu Ji's wife died, so Liu Ji asked to leave and return to his hometown. Taizu is building the central capital, and is actively preparing to eliminate the expansion. Liu Jilin walked up to the recital and said: "Although Fengyang is the emperor's hometown, it is not suitable as a place to build a capital. Wang Baobao should not be taken lightly. Soon after, the Battle of Dingxi was lost, and he fled to the desert, where he has been a border hazard ever since. In the winter of this year, Taizu personally issued an edict, describing Liu Ji's conquest achievements, summoning him to Beijing, rewarding him very much, posthumously gifting Liu Ji's grandfather and father as the Duke of Yongjia County, and repeatedly wanted to give Liu Ji a knight, but Liu Ji did not accept it.
