In the Tang Palace, because of the successive birth of the two little princes, they are immersed in a festive ocean!

And Li Xuan was even more happy, and immediately announced that he would accumulate blessings for the two princes and give the world a special amnesty!

After the news of the amnesty came out, a group of ministers naturally came to the table one after another, saying that the Son of Heaven is really a rare benevolent monarch in 10,000 years, and this benevolent government will bring together the common people!

However, anything that has to do with the country's major politics is absolutely impossible to be a simple matter, on the surface, Li Xuan's amnesty is for the sake of the two princes, but there are deeper reasons in it.

And this can be seen from the crowd of people in the world of amnesty.

There are generally four types of people who have received amnesty, first of all, the first category is the Ming army prisoners, before and after several years of fighting, the Tang Dynasty division captured a large number of Ming troops, most of them were reorganized into the garrison army in the early days, and later after the garrison was withdrawn, most of the Ming army prisoners were incorporated into the reclamation regiment, and some continued to stay in the prisoner of war camp as miners, etc., and then some of the middle and senior generals and officials of the Ming army were incorporated into special prisoner of war camps to be held separately for labor.

And the Ming army prisoners who received amnesty did not include middle and high-ranking generals and officials, but ordinary Ming soldiers in the cantonment regiment and prisoner of war camps!

These Ming army prisoners are numerous, and they have reached the scale of more than 100,000 people before and after, so many people are male laborers, and it is not a matter to let them reclaim the land, after all, they also have a family, and with the Tang Dynasty Wang Shi taking Huguang and most of Jiangxi, many of the soldiers' homes have become Tang jurisdictions.

Therefore, ordinary Ming soldiers and prisoners of war in the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty will be released in this amnesty and allowed to return home.

The second type of people is a considerable number of people who have been arrested for reasons of tax resistance, because the Tang Dynasty implemented a very strict tax system, and the slightest tax evasion and tax evasion will be arrested immediately, and the more serious cases will be raided and exterminated, and in the troubled times, it is inevitable that many people have been wronged, or the circumstances are very minor, they have been punished, in fact, there is a very big resentment from the outside world, and the criticism is very loud.

This time after this opportunity, it is also to release those who are mild and less harmful to resist taxes.

The third category of people is ordinary criminals who do not pose much harm to society, but criminals who are of a heinous nature, such as injuring others, killing people, and strengthening harmony, and who pose great harm to society, are not included.

In the process of the Tang Dynasty's march, a large number of unwilling to cooperate with the former Ming officials, gentry landlords, merchants, etc., were captured and arrested, and they were generally directly raided homes, and in the process of raiding their homes, they would be arrested together with the families of these officials and gentry, including many female dependents, side branch children, and even domestic slaves, etc., this category of people also belongs to the category of amnesty.

This time, the amnesty is based on the principle of releasing people who are irrelevant and do not cause much harm, but for those who are more harmful, they are still not included in the amnesty.

Then the opportunity of the prince's birth to play amnesty, in addition to releasing these large numbers of prisoners of war and criminals to fill the gap in social labor, it is also to take this opportunity to express to the outside world that Li Xuan is a benevolent monarch!

Sometimes fame is important, especially for the Emperor!

The matter of amnesty in the world will naturally be dealt with by the officials below, and Li Xuan himself is preparing to name his two sons.

This prince is not the same as ordinary people, can not take a name casually, first of all, in order to avoid a large number of people in the folk because of avoidance and change their names, this commonly used words are avoided on avoidance, the use of rare words is more convenient.

Otherwise, once this prince ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, a group of people all over the world will have to change their names because they avoid it, or they will change their names before they ascend the throne, but at the same time, they can't be too remote, and they must be recognized by people!

This kind of thing is found in Li Xuan himself, after the rise of the Tang Dynasty, although Li Xuan doesn't care about these, there are still countless people who take the initiative to change their names in order to avoid secrets, and remove or replace the Xuan characters in their names with other words.

Therefore, Li Xuan simply avoided this kind of trouble in advance, and directly named his eldest son, the eldest prince born to Concubine Ye's concubine, Li Jian (Xu first tone), and the second prince born to Wang's concubine, named Li Qian (jian first tone).

After the birth of these two princes, at first, they were brought by the Ye family and the Wang family themselves, but within two days, Liu Bagou joined the other seven ministers on duty in the imperial study and thirteen ministers on duty in the imperial study, and jointly folded their names, asking His Majesty to choose wet nurses for the two princes in order to take care of these two princes.

At first, Li Xuan still didn't react, looking for a wet nurse? It's a bit strange, although Ye and Wang have gone through childbirth, their bodies are not so weak that they can't take care of their children, and more importantly, these two concubines also have nurses around them, so why find another nurse?

But soon, Li Xuan reacted!

The meaning behind this excerpt on them is far from being simple, but to prevent the harem from interfering in politics!

After Li Xuan thought about it, he just reviewed it on the fold: "I know"

On the same day, Li Xuan sent a message to his mother, Empress Dowager Bai, asking her to vacate two separate courtyards in the palace near the front hall!

Three days later, Li Xuan personally took the nurses specially selected from the poor families of the people, and took the two princes away in the cry of Concubine Ye and Wang Shide, and these two princes will live alone in their prince's mansion in the future, and at the same time, Li Xuan also personally issued an edict that the prince can only go to see his biological mother every five days before he is ten years old.

At the same time, Li Xuan also sent his own personal maid to take care of the two princes!

When he left with the prince in his arms, Li Xuan looked at the crying appearance of the Ye family and the Wang family, to be honest, it was a little unbearable, but in order to prevent the harem from interfering in politics and field affairs, this was necessary.

This is a tradition formed after the Qin Dynasty, and it has been the case for more than a thousand years, and it has existed for such a long time, so it naturally has its reason for existence.

In Li Xuan's own opinion, although this will make the princes lose their mother's love, these are not worth mentioning compared to the stability of the regime.

Who let them be born in the royal family!

Under heaven and earth, it is the most ruthless place, and there is definitely a place for the palace, Zhu Di's sentence 'the most ruthless emperor's family' is the truth.

And since you have enjoyed the glory and wealth of the royal family and your esteemed status, you will definitely lose something.

But it's good to say that the current Tang Dynasty finally has an heir, and there are still two.

At the same time, if Li Xuan has no accidents in the future, he should have more children, and it is normal to have a few more princes at that time, which will also make many courtiers of the Tang Dynasty feel at ease.

There was no prince before, they were always worried that something would happen to Li Xuan, and then the huge Tang Dynasty split in an instant, how good it is now, after having an heir, their family will be able to continue to climb on top of the Tang Dynasty and maintain prosperity and wealth.

In this way, they will be more energetic in their struggle!

After the news of the birth of the two princes reached the front line in Huguang and Changsha, Hao Bonian, Li Chunjing and other senior generals were in a good mood!

They are fighting outside, in fact, they are more worried about what accidents will happen in Zhaoqing than those civilian officials, you must know that the special system in the Tang Dynasty and the particularity of the Tang Army are all caused, and the generals have limited control over the army, and they rely heavily on the support of the central government.

If there is a problem in the rear, there will also be a problem with the army at the front!

If there are two princes, even if Your Majesty Li Xuan has an accident tomorrow, but these courtiers of the Tang Dynasty will immediately be able to support a prince to inherit the unification and continue to fight with the Ming Dynasty, even if this prince is just a baby born a few days ago!

Li Chunjing and Hao Bonian, who were at ease, finally commanded the army to launch a general attack on Changsha!

Changsha has been operated by the Ming army for many years, the city fortifications are quite perfect, and there are many artillery, ammunition, food and grass are sufficient, it is not feasible to rely on siege alone, and it must be attacked by thunder!

After discussion, Li Chunjing and Hao Bonian decided to take a multi-pronged approach, artillery bombardment was necessary, and at the same time, sappers were sent to start digging tunnels for blasting.

On the first day of the official general offensive, two and a half heavy artillery battalions with a total of 30 howitzers alone fired 2,000 rounds of large-caliber grenades! And as many as 150 five-, seven-, and nine-pound field guns fired more than 10,000 shells at Changsha City!

And the shelling lasted three days!

Three days later, there were more than 10 five-pound guns whose barrels were scrapped, so it can be seen that the barrel life of the iron-cast cannon is too poor, and the total life is only more than 500 rounds, and a fierce artillery battle can often shoot out two or three hundred shells.

However, after scrapping so many iron-cast artillery, the results achieved are also great, and the top of the Changsha city wall will basically be in ruins, especially the most obvious city gate towers, which have been completely destroyed.

Most of the artillery positions placed by the Ming army on the head of the city were also destroyed, and the artillery of the Ming army who braved the artillery fire to operate the artillery to counterattack suffered heavy casualties!

And then under the cover of the rumbling cannons, a large number of sappers dug at the same time in all directions at the same time, although part of the tunnels were destroyed by the Ming army, but they also successfully dug out several tunnels, and then buried a large amount of gunpowder.

On the fourth day after the general attack, with several earth-shattering explosions, the First Army and the Second Army launched an infantry charge from three walls at the same time, and four assault battalions composed of a large number of heavily armored soldiers in plate armor and the most elite grenadiers and archers launched a charge at the same time!

Although the Ming army in Changsha City was subjected to fierce shelling, they still resisted desperately, because they had no way to retreat!

The first assault battalion landed in the city, but it was driven down by the Ming army for the first time!

But only two hours later, the second wave of assault battalions launched another charge!

And this time, the supervising standard and training army in the city are finally powerless!

On the fifth day of the second month of the fourth year of Xuanping, the Tang Dynasty King Ke Changsha annihilated more than 30,000 Ming troops defending the city!
