636 Emperor Chongzhen's incense merits

The so-called urgent report, for Emperor Chongzhen, is actually not urgent at all. At the time of the emergency report, he had already known the situation in advance through the eavesdropping system.

This urgent report, from Kunming, Yunnan, was jointly issued by Mu Tianbo and Qin Liangyu, Yunnan Tusi had at least a dozen rebellions, and there was a joint force to besiege and attack Kunming, exposing the goal of the latent rebels was completely achieved, and the imperial court was asked to send reinforcements quickly.

However, the courtiers did not know. Seeing that the New Year is coming soon, there is such a trouble. For a while, the courtiers in the court were resentful of those toasts.

As a result, some courtiers proposed it, which could make neighboring provinces rush to help. In addition, didn't Governor Chen Qiyu go to take up the post of Governor of Yungui? He could be ordered to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. And Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, has also led troops into Sichuan before, so let him cooperate, and he should be able to suppress this Tusi Rebellion.

However, Emperor Chongzhen rejected all of their suggestions, and said righteously: "In the previous rebellion of luxury, it took the imperial court three years to extinguish it, which cost countless money and food, and the people in the battlefield were not able to make a living. The reason why this is so is because the place where Tusi is located is a poor mountain and bad water, and ordinary generals are at a loss for this kind of terrain. Now that the country is in ruins, it is the beginning of the peace and security of the country and the people, and I will never allow the people of the southwest to suffer from military disasters for several years. Therefore, I decided to take the royal drive and personally conquer this Tusi Rebellion as soon as possible! ”

For Emperor Chongzhen's ability to lead troops to fight, after exterminating the Mongol Tartars, Liaodong Jianyu and other wars, the courtiers in the court have gone from distrustful to suspicious to sincere and admirable, so even if the terrain in the southwest is very different from that of the enemy in the north, they all believe that as long as the emperor drives the expedition in person, it will definitely be able to be pacified as quickly as possible.

However, there are still courtiers who advise, such as the first assistant Xue Guoguan: "Your Majesty, now that the New Year is coming in less than half a month, it is better to spend the New Year in Beijing and then go south to quell the rebellion." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty has just pacified Liaodong this year, and now there are still Japanese troops attacking North Korea Province, Your Majesty might as well wait for the spring to bloom after the New Year, and then go south to quell the rebellion!" The eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant and the celebrant, also followed.

This kind of single-minded consideration for the emperor can actually gain the emperor's favor even if he opposes it, so the courtiers under him have followed to advise him.

Among them, there are also some courtiers who actually have other thoughts. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, it is time to summarize the year. Because of the increase in the output of the glass factory, the income of the state treasury this year is much higher than in previous years. The emperor's reward at the end of the year is estimated to be much more. Especially this year is the year of the recovery of Liaodong, and it is even more necessary to celebrate with the whole world. But if the emperor is not in Beijing, what about the New Year's reward?

Regarding these suggestions of the ministers, Emperor Chongzhen still sternly refused: "The people of the southwest are still in dire straits. Before, I wanted to quell the rebellion of the Liaodong Jianyu, and I couldn't go south. Now that Liaodong has been peaceful, I am worried about the suffering of the people in the southwest, how can I let the people of the southwest be in dire straits for my own pleasure! ”

Speaking of this, when he saw that the courtiers below were all ashamed and admired, he said lightly: "As for the Japanese army that invaded Korea Province, I have made arrangements before, let Lu Qing lead the army south, I believe that there will be good news in the near future, and the Japanese army will not worry." The only thing to consider is when to go out to conquer the Wa Kingdom and destroy this country that has wolf ambitions for the Ming Dynasty, so as to prevent future military disasters. ”

Although there had been good news before, it was said that the sailor had won a big victory under the leadership of Zheng Zhilong. However, after all, the opponent is the Wa State, and in the previous wars of the Wanli Dynasty, the Ming army won first at the beginning, and then the Wa army counterattacked, and what was the final victory or defeat, it is not good to assert it.

Of course, if the emperor personally leads the army, it is estimated that there will be no problem in defeating the Japanese army. However, the emperor is in Beijing. And the elite of the pacification of Liaodong Jianyu also brought back more of the Jingshi. The emperor asserted that the Japanese army would be defeated, how likely is it?

However, although they had doubts about this, it did not prevent Emperor Chongzhen from deciding to personally conquer the southwest. After explaining, Emperor Chongzhen announced that five days later, he would lead the army south to quell the rebellion. Along the way, provide supplies, grain and grass.

Compared with going north to conquer Mongolia or build captives, the grain and grass materials must be collected first before the army can move. But for the southward rebellion, there is no need to be so troublesome. At least in the southern provinces, there are more grain, grass and materials, and the army passes by, and the grain is gathered in various places, as long as it is not too much, there will be basically no problem. In this way, it also saves some upfront trouble.

The reason why he had to wait five days later was that the courtiers thought that the emperor needed time to prepare and arrange some things when the imperial driver left the capital. Actually, they didn't guess for sure. The reason why Emperor Chongzhen set the date of the five days was actually because he knew that Lu Xiangsheng sent someone to report the messenger would arrive within these two days.

He planned to leave the capital division in person when this good news arrived in Beijing. Let the people's hearts and the army's hearts be stable, or in other words, more exciting. Shape a belief for them that the Ming Dynasty is invincible!

Patriotism, national pride, and so on are slowly cultivated in bits and pieces. Instead of Emperor Chongzhen's next will, the people of the Ming Dynasty would be able to have this consciousness.

These things are very important, Emperor Chongzhen has been paying attention to cultivation, and of course he will not miss the opportunity.

…………

When Emperor Chongzhen's decision in the court spread, the people of Jingshi, who knew the situation, felt extremely admired and moved for a while because their emperor was anxious about the people's anxieties and worries. Even many literati even used famous sentences to describe their emperors: the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world!

The people of the Ming Dynasty have such an emperor, they are simply not too happy!

Originally, there were many people who privately set up immortal tablets for Emperor Chongzhen, but after this incident, there were even more. It is also conceivable that after Emperor Chongzhen leads his troops to the southwest, more people will set up an immortal tablet for him.

If this plane is the Xianxia plane, Emperor Chongzhen's incense merit is definitely explosive. You must know that this is the people's spontaneous longevity card, praying day and night that their emperor can live a long life!

Regarding this situation, Emperor Chongzhen actually knew about it through the report of the factory guard to the civil supervision. In this regard, he still has a sense of pride and accomplishment in his heart.

On the fourth day, as expected by Emperor Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng's messenger arrived in Beijing, and immediately, Jingshi was shaken.

"What, the North Korean side really won another big battle?"

"What a victory! Don't you know, the Korean War wiped out nearly 300,000 Japanese troops before and after! In addition, the Japanese Navy Division has also sunk more than 2,000 ships, and no matter what the forces on land and sea are, they have already suffered heavy setbacks! ”

"So much? Is it true? If that's the case, wouldn't that big fart place in the country become a girl without clothes? ”

"Hahaha, your analogy is too vulgar to criticize, but that's the reason. How many troops can there be in a small island country! ”

"Really, such a small island country has such wolf ambitions, and twice before and after, they all want to beat me Daming, and they don't look at how many catties and taels they have!"

"Yes, if you want me to say, the imperial court should make an example of it, take the opportunity to destroy the Japanese state, and completely eliminate this hidden danger!"

"I don't need to say this, I heard that the emperor has this meaning, and there will be no more widows in the world in the future!"

“……”

It was approaching the New Year, and the sound of firecrackers began to rise and fall, and as soon as the good news came, suddenly, the sound of firecrackers in Beijing was called a lively. In particular, those who came to Beijing from the coast to do business remembered that there would be no more Japanese robbers in the future, so they set off firecrackers more diligently.

In this way, there are a lot of happy and sad things, and fires occur from time to time, which makes Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, a little frightened, and strictly orders Jinyiwei to strengthen vigilance.

In this regard, Wang Chengen, the commander of Dongchang, was lucky, fortunately Jinyiwei had the responsibility of fighting the fire in Beijing, but Dongchang didn't have to care about this. Otherwise, the East Factory will also be busy.

Emperor Chongzhen also noticed the situation of the fire, and specially ordered the ministers to discuss a countermeasure to control the firecrackers to prevent the fire.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also revealed that the imperial court is developing a new type of building material, once successful, the houses built with this new building material can greatly reduce the use of wood and reduce the losses caused by fires.

Hearing this, the dignitaries and ordinary people who didn't know about it before were all very curious. All of a sudden, they were very concerned about this new building material.

At the same time, although this news was not elaborated, most people guessed that this new building material was definitely the idea of the emperor today. Sometimes, they really don't know, how did the emperor come up with so many strange but very practical things?

So, Emperor Chongzhen took the factory guard to guide public opinion, and publicized a wave of the practicality of natural knowledge, which was also an unexpected gain.

Of course, these are all things that Emperor Chongzhen asked him to do, but he was on the day after the news of the great victory in Korea came, that is, on the fifth day of his announcement, he transferred 3,000 cavalry, 5,000 chariot battalions and 5,000 infantry troops from the three major battalions under the Beijing camp and the imperial horse prison, a total of 13,000 men and horses, left the Beijing division and drove the southern expedition.

On the day of leaving Beijing, hundreds of civil and military officials and the people of Beijing came to see each other, and they were very emotional. The emperor ignored the upcoming New Year and such a cold weather, but he still led the army to the expedition. Don't be too lucky to have such an emperor here!

However, they didn't know that when Emperor Chongzhen left Jingshi and embarked on a journey, he was saying in his heart: Finally, he left the cold north wind and could go to the Four Seasons Spring City for the New Year.
