873 Priceless
It is difficult to immigrate, it is difficult to mobilize troops, and in general, there is no one, so it is better to create people!
Officers and soldiers in the army, bachelors don't know how many, anyone who stays here and guards the frontier for a long time, let them find a daughter-in-law in the local area, one is not enough, you can have two, anyway, after continuous wars in the Mughals, there are already many men and girls.
As far as Da Ming's aesthetics are concerned, it may be a little ugly. But in these days, except for the palace and a small number of families, there are no electric lights, and the black lights are blind, and everything is the same!
Emperor Chongzhen has reason to believe that once this method is implemented, not only will there be many soldiers left in the current army, but even domestic generals, it is estimated that many people will enthusiastically join the expeditionary army!
In this way, as long as the follow-up Chinese civilization education can keep up, wait for ten or twenty years, this place will be all Chinese, and there is no need to bother to immigrate at all.
Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen really took action. Not only can the generals in the army marry more daughters-in-law, of course, this is also a polyandry system, which is no different from the country, and more importantly, the relevant supporting facilities must also keep up. For example, multiple daughters-in-law need more land. Captured prisoners of war can be given as servants, to help with farm work, how many years to be free, and so on.
Although at this time, the status of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts has improved a lot. No matter how much you improve, it is impossible to completely reverse the secular concept of being noble and martial. Therefore, as long as this policy is publicized more in China, it is absolutely feasible.
Emperor Chongzhen also convened the generals to discuss, and finally made an announcement to the world.
This decree suddenly caused a sensation in the whole army.
The military discipline of the Ming army was strict, especially when it was directly commanded by the emperor, and no one dared to violate military discipline and do something that should not be done. Therefore, they are all panicking.
At this time, I heard that I could marry a daughter-in-law locally, of course the soldiers of the Ming army knew that marrying a daughter-in-law in this Mughal would hardly cost anything, and the court would also send you fields and other congratulatory gifts, and it would be possible to marry multiple daughters-in-law, which was really a great grace!
The so-called marriage of a daughter-in-law does not cost anything, and of course it is not a robbery.
In this Mughal, women were originally despised and even in later generations, women had no status.
Of course, the most important thing is that the successive emperors of the Mughal Empire were all reckless, and in addition to this, they also vigorously built temples and other buildings throughout the country, further depleting the men in their country. After the civil strife of the Mughal Empire, the conquest of the Ming army, etc., the proportion of male and female imbalances is even higher.
If there are no young men in the family, there will be no labor, and they will be hungry and easily bullied. Therefore, as a Mughal woman, of course, I also hope to have a man to rely on.
At this time, the Ming army from the Ming Dynasty was obviously the most noble person in the land of the Mughals, and it was considered the ruling class. If the Mughal women want to marry, the first choice is definitely the Ming army soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. In their opinion, the soldiers of the Ming army are not only powerful, but also respect women more, and in every aspect, they are better than Mughal men.
In this way, as long as you can marry a Ming army soldier from the Ming Dynasty, what a blessing, who wants to ask for a high dowry, doesn't that push the man out!
Of course, as a man who was originally a Mughal, he must have felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, now that it is the world of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to oppose it?
Besides, the Ming army did not rob, if women really like their native men, if the Ming soldiers dare to rob, they can go to the yamen to sue, which is clearly prohibited in the holy decree.
That's it, after the will, taking advantage of the fact that there is no war now, there are welcoming teams everywhere. So much so that those who beat gongs and drums are too busy. Day to night, tired to the rhythm of death.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this situation, he simply arranged a group wedding for the army. It will be held once every other day, and it will be arranged uniformly, as long as the wrong bride is not sent.
Among them, the first group wedding had the highest specifications, because Emperor Chongzhen attended as the man's elders.
I heard that the emperor attended his wedding, and he originally had to hold the wedding for a few days, but he was all in advance. There are even those who don't plan to marry a daughter-in-law, so they hurry to find a daughter-in-law.
Good guys, there are 3,565 couples involved in this wedding.
It can't be lined up anywhere else, and it is held on the school grounds of the large battalion in the army. The red dress was not enough, and eventually the red military uniform was worn instead.
Firecrackers were insufficient, so they simply replaced them with artillery in the army. The suona horn is not enough, so it is simply replaced by a military horn......
One worship heaven and earth, two worship the emperor, husband and wife worship each other, it's really not too spectacular!
Emperor Chongzhen was also happy about this, and in the pity that there was no camera, he mobilized a group of painters to draw a batch of paintings from different angles, and then gave each couple a painting. The most precious thing is that Emperor Chongzhen inscribed blessings on each painting.
These 3,565 paintings, as long as they are preserved to future generations, are all priceless and become the collection of rich collectors in later generations!
……………………
On March 18, the 27th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen led the rested army to Lahore, and after meeting with Wu Sangui, he began to attack the original western Mughal place.
It's not so much about attacking as it is about acceptance. Because when Abbas II led his troops to flee, he not only slaughtered Lahore, but also burned all the subsequent places, so as to block the pursuit of the Ming army.
Previously, because the Ming army had limited food and grass, they did not send troops to accept it. Now, after more than half a year, the grain and grass have been accumulated and the land has been accepted.
However, the Ming army did not go further west to fight the Persian Empire. Emperor Chongzhen took the soldiers of the Ming army who were going to return to their hometown through Kashmir and sent these soldiers back from the Tianshan Mountains.
Calculate the time, from June of the twenty-fourth year of Chongzhen to March of the twenty-seventh year of Chongzhen, and return to China is at least June, a total of three years, this should be any emperor in history, has not left his capital for so long!
To the west, Aurangzeb fled into the Persian Empire, but did not dare to stay long, and fled westward into the Ottoman Empire, instigating the Ottomans to attack the Safavids.
The Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire were feuding, and after the recent situation of the Aurangzebu's Empire, he really had the intention to attack the Persian Empire. However, the Ottoman Empire was corrupt at this time, and rebellions continued to occur in various places, and it was also a problem for itself. Therefore, after Abbas II escaped to his homeland with a broken arm, he did not seek benefits from the Persian Empire.
For now, the two countries are also in a stalemate, and no one can help anyone!
………………
In mid-June of the twenty-seventh year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen led more than 8,000 cavalry troops to finally return to Luntai. Hong Chengchou got the news, and naturally greeted Emperor Chongzhen from a long distance.
As for the reason why Emperor Chongzhen had more than 20,000 horsemen when he set off from Luntai, and now he has only returned more than 8,000, Hong Chengchou probably guessed from his previous will, and it is estimated that they all stayed on the Mughal side to marry wives and have children.
He guessed correctly, among the more than 20,000 cavalry troops before, most of the hussar battalions brought out by Emperor Chongzhen from Beijing still followed the emperor back. However, most of Wu Sangui's men and the 10,000 cavalry troops drawn from Luntai stayed on the Mughal side.
When Emperor Chongzhen came back, he naturally brought family letters to those people, and when he went to distribute these family letters, Emperor Chongzhen also discussed things with Hong Chengchou.
At this time, Hong Chengchou was already sixty-one years old. The goal in this Tianshan area made him look a little older, but his mental state was still very good.
During the conversation between Emperor Chongzhen and him, it was obvious that Hong Chengchou was still dissatisfied with the old man and wanted to do something. In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen naturally followed him.
"Your Majesty, the news received by the minister, I'm afraid that the Tsarist side is not peaceful." Hong Chengchou naturally knows that his main purpose here is to occupy a place, so he is usually very concerned, and the news received from everywhere is summarized and analyzed, and he can just report it to Emperor Chongzhen at this time, "Now there are many fugitives to the east, and there are all kinds of theories, Weichen has sent someone to the west, but there is no news back." ”
Emperor Chongzhen didn't care much about the history of Tsarist Russia in later generations, let alone what would happen during this period. In addition, he didn't eavesdrop on the seeds on the side of Tsarist Russia, so he didn't have any opinion on what Hong Chengchou said, but just thought for a while and said: "This time, the material reserves and troops on the Tianshan side have been used by me on the Mughal side. On the Tsarist side, I will continue to inquire about the news, I will go back this time, and I will also let the Guannai mobilize more troops and materials to come over, and if there is a chance, the secretary can directly send troops to occupy the places I want, and I will allow you to cut it first and then play! ”
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou was full of joy and hurriedly responded to the order.
After paying attention to other issues on the side of the Lower Tianshan Mountain, Emperor Chongzhen led the army back.
The reason why he chose to go from here was that there was a train passing through, and the journey back was not only fast, but also comfortable.
………………
After Emperor Chongzhen left, the people sent by Hong Chengchou came back one after another, and the news was summarized, and he also had a relatively clear understanding of the situation on the Tsarist side.
At this time, the Ukrainian Cossacks, who were originally subordinate to Poland, seemed to have taken refuge in Tsarist Russia. For this, Poland and Tsarist Russia fought. In addition, in Tsarist Russia, it seems that some missionaries are still in charge, and they are making a mess in the country, and many people oppose it, and then it is suppressed.
Regarding this situation, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel a little moved, should he take advantage of this time to finish the things that His Majesty explained before he returned to his hometown?
