Chapter 278: The Orphaned Army
Originally, everyone thought that this matter had to be messed up with that faint gentleman.
Can't you say that you want to re-establish the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, and if you ask for the military power to be taken back into your hands, you will take it back in your hands, and if you say that you will improve the status of the warriors, you will improve the status of the warriors, right?
Where do you put our children like that?
Don't break it up for now.
The Dog Emperor will put us wherever he wants, after all, he still has to leave useful things for Ming Jun.
Now that Wen Tiren has taken the lead, the rest of the adults don't have to be hypocritical anymore, and they bow down and bow down after Wen Tiren and say: "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers are obedient, but Your Majesty's horse is the first ear." ”
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't laugh, and after directly ordering the dispersal of the dynasty, he took Wen Tiren and Zhang Weixian to the orphan army he established later.
In today's matter, I won, but I also lost.
In the case of the city gates being sealed off from the inside and outside, the civil officials were sure of it.
But I also looked too highly at the discipline of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Except for Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai, who really leaned towards themselves, or those who really had the concept of the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, the rest was just an instinctive reaction under the butcher's knife.
It's important to save your life first.
This is also the reason why Emperor Chongzhen turned a blind eye to Su Maoxiang's impeachment of himself again.
Su Maoxiang's impeachment was his own wrong move as an emperor who wasted everything, which was supposed to be impeached by the imperial historians.
However, none of the imperial historians of the Ming Dynasty had any impeachment today, but when they said that they wanted to return the power of the generals to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, they aimed at Liu Xingzuo.
While walking towards the orphan army camp located not far from the palace, Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "The world is in the body, just like a martial king." This tripod is raised, but it is not easy to put it down. ”
Wen Tiren pondered for a while and then persuaded: "Since Your Majesty is at the extreme, the Ming Dynasty has the image of Zhongxing, why should Your Majesty compare himself to King Wu?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled, but did not answer.
This day is over, but it's just in front of you.
We'll see tomorrow.
From tomorrow onwards, I am afraid that I don't know how many civil ministers will beg for bones.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen began to secretly rejoice again.
Back then, Emperor Chongzhen kept spitting on Zhu Laosi's hand of the north and south Beijing system, which was to make trouble for himself.
For example, why did Emperor Chongzhen later prefer to die rather than go to Nanjing?
Because of the original political Xiaobai Chongzhen Emperor in history, he could be regarded as having understood the urine of these civil and military ministers and nobles until his death, and he didn't expect the six departments in Nanjing to be better than the capital.
In addition, the south at that time was the nest of the Donglin Party, even if Emperor Chongzhen went, what could it be like in the end?
What capital does Emperor Chongzhen, who has abolished the factory guard, have to confront those people?
Even when he arrived in Nanjing, he was just ordered not to go out of the palace and be a salted fish.
This is precisely what Emperor Chongzhen cannot tolerate the most.
Lao Tzu has taken off the country, and would rather hang the coal mountain than play with you grandsons - I am afraid that this is the truest portrayal of Emperor Chongzhen's mood before he died.
But now it's different.
The current history is white, and Emperor Chongzhen, the flat-headed brother in the emperor world, feels that Zhu Laosi's hand is too clever.
Due to the existence of the six departments in Nanjing, it is equivalent to that the political system of the capital has a complete set of backups in Nanjing.
This makes it easier to do things on your own.
Even if he makes things big in the capital, even if all the six Shangshu go on strike, he can be transferred directly from Nanjing, so that he will not be in a hurry to stop the six departments.
Things are not bad today.
Lao Wei played with his life to suppress the Donglin Party, and although the unlucky guy of the Emperor of the Apocalypse hung up because of this, he cheapened himself.
Now most of the six Shangshu are members of the eunuch party or the imperial party, and the remaining ministers dare not show it on the surface even if they are interested in the Donglin party.
By the time we arrived at the Orphan Army barracks, it was getting late.
The red sun hung on the West Mountain, trying hard to dye the sky red, and a cold wind blew, making everyone shiver.
It's just that after entering the orphan camp, Emperor Chongzhen's heart is hot.
The young military camp is currently established as a thousand households, and it belongs to the Jinyi Guard. It's just that he doesn't listen to Jinyiwei's tune, and he doesn't listen to Jinyiwei's announcement, and the thousand households arranged by Jinyiwei's Admiral Xu Xianchun are more like a nanny here.
Even though it is now the cold season and the color is about to darken, the drills of the orphanage camp have never stopped under the leadership of Jinyi Wei Qianhu.
Emperor Chongzhen first signaled that the exercise should not stop, and then stood on the edge of the school field and watched.
With a still somewhat immature shouting of killing, a puff of white smoke appeared from the heads of the twelve or thirteen-year-old children from time to time, and Emperor Chongzhen knew that it was because the weather outside was too cold, and the children were practicing hard and sweating.
It wasn't until another two or three quarters of an hour had passed that the Orphans' drills stopped.
After Emperor Chongzhen ordered the orphan army to gather under the Dianjiangtai, he strode onto the Dianjiangtai.
Looking at the immature faces, it should have been a carefree playing age, but now he is receiving various trainings in the military camp, and now he looks at himself after the ceremony with endless fanaticism, Emperor Chongzhen has some bad feelings in his heart.
Ruthless, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Are you tired? ”
The more than 300 orphan soldiers in the audience looked at each other when they heard this. No one would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen would ask such a thing.
After a long time, the child had the courage to shout: "Enlightenment...... Your Majesty, I can't wait! ”
With the one taking the lead, the other children shouted along, "Don't be tired." ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and continued, "I know that you are tired, and I say that you are not tired to make me happy. However, I couldn't be happy.
Your fathers fought for the country, they were all first-class heroes, great heroes, I let you join this young army, so that you can inherit the glory of your father, and in the future, you will also be a man who stands up to the sky.
I have given it to you, the gentleman who taught you to read and write. The instructor who taught you the martial arts of archery and horses, I also gave it to you.
These are opportunities that your fathers did not have.
When you grow up and join the army, there will definitely be a day when you will be honored as a prime minister. ”
After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he walked down from the platform and walked towards the orphans, touching this and that.
The education that these children receive is all aimed at cultivating all-round talents.
Whether it is Sun Tzu's Art of War, the Thirty-Six Strategies, or other books such as pipes, there are professors in this young army.
Even the lessons and lessons of the Ming Dynasty's previous foreign campaigns will be broken and crumpled and told to these children.
As for the way of governing the country, it is also taught according to the template of the six books.
All kinds of typical cases, political events, and governing policies of the Ming Dynasty are basically also told.
It can be said that as long as these children grow up, as long as they are not too deviant, basically everyone will be a well-rounded talent.
The most important thing is that every day, there will be eunuchs specially selected by the palace to give these children evening lessons.
Brainwash.
From the first day these children entered the orphanage camp, these eunuchs have been brainwashing these children, instilling in the greatness of Emperor Chongzhen and the greatness of the Ming Dynasty.
Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang who drove the army to Dingjing and drove Mengyuan into the desert in the north, or Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West seven times, or Emperor Chongzhen who built slaves in the east to conquer the grassland, they all have to be used to talk about it.
As for what other emperors have done, under the hint of Emperor Chongzhen, they were selectively forgotten by these eunuchs who came to brainwash.
In short, the Ming Dynasty is great, Emperor Chongzhen is great, and Emperor Chongzhen is the greatest and most loving emperor after Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Chengzu Yongle.
In addition, the task of these eunuchs is to monitor the psychological movements of these children, so as to ensure that if someone has other thoughts in their minds in the future, they can be detected and dealt with as soon as possible.
Every child here is a seed, and once someone has bad intentions, the impact is enough to make Emperor Chongzhen feel a pain in his eyes.
Only these children are their biggest hole cards. Although they are still very small.
More than 300 children, Emperor Chongzhen walked in front of them one by one, either touching their heads, or patting their shoulders, and saying hello again, which moved these more than 300 children beyond measure.
By this time, it was already dark, and torches were already lit outside the school grounds.
Emperor Chongzhen waited unhurriedly until he came to the last child, touched his little head, and then returned to the platform.
Emperor Chongzhen commanded on a whim: "Prepare the auditorium, I want to tell these children something." ”
There is an auditorium in the orphan camp, which was specially ordered by Emperor Chongzhen to build it before. It doesn't matter if you're crazy one day and come to teach these kids, or the day these kids grow up and give them their diplomas, this auditorium will be useful.
Dozens of arm-thick tallow candles in the auditorium have been lit, illuminating the entire auditorium as if it were daylight.
Since the children were running forward, by the time Emperor Chongzhen entered the auditorium, these children were already standing in front of their seats waiting for Emperor Chongzhen.
After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the platform in the auditorium, he pressed his hands and ordered with a smile: "Sit down." ”
After Wen Tiren and the others sat down with these children, Emperor Chongzhen also sat down behind the table on the ceremonial platform.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "You guys are still too young, and I don't require you to understand what I said, as long as you can remember it in your heart." If you don't understand anything in the future, feel free to ask your husband for advice.
The world is so big, it's not just me. Beyond the Ming Dynasty, there is still the land of all nations.
Although my Ming Dynasty is in the center and rules all countries, not everyone is willing to listen to my Ming teachings.
For example, Jiannu, such as the Mongol Tartars, such as the Far West, and such as the Wa Kingdom in the east.
These people are all disobedient to my Ming teachings.
So what should we do?
Zi said, convince people with virtue. Therefore, we have to use our virtues to influence and educate them.
And our virtue, they are not willing to accept.
Therefore, we must use the sword in our hands to make them accept our virtues, to influence them, and to educate them, until they turn from barbarians to people of the heavenly kingdom like us. ”
Although these children were ignorant, Wen Tiren and Zhang Weixian understood the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's words, and the two looked at each other, and their hearts were extremely painful.
The so-called teaching these children is simply a matter of beating rabbits with grass and piggybacking on them.
Emperor Chongzhen's real purpose is only to use the mouths of the two of himself to spread his ideas.
Without waiting for the two of them to think more, Emperor Chongzhen spoke again on the platform: "Who of you knows how our Yanhuang clan developed from a small tribe to such a large territory today?" ”
Seeing that the children in the audience looked at each other, no one responded, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't care, but continued: "In the past, the territory of the first ancestor of Yan and Huang was not enough to be a province of the Ming Dynasty.
However, it was common for tribes to attack each other during the period, and the first ancestor of Yan and Huang defeated other tribes who wanted to attack us, so they also occupied the population and land of those tribes.
By the time of the third generation, we had defeated the smaller nations around us that wanted to attack us and occupied them.
When it came to the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor ordered people to defeat the grassland and Baiyue who wanted to attack us, and our territory expanded a little.
When we arrived in the Han Dynasty, we began to operate the Western Regions again.
Now that it's us, what are we going to do? Guarding the country that his ancestors fought down, claiming to be the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and not thinking of making progress? ”
Zhang Weixian listened to the blood flowing, but Wen Tiren quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Emperor Chongzhen's words had an impact on these children, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about it.
But when I heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, I felt endless fear.
Look, the first ancestor of Yan and Huang changed the tribe that wanted to attack us, defeated the small country that wanted to attack us in the third generation, and the first emperor defeated the grassland and Baiyue who wanted to attack us.
All the fuck want to attack us! Your Majesty, have you been paranoid?
Emperor Chongzhen didn't know the spit in Wen Tiren's heart, so he continued to take care of himself: "Now we have Jiannu and the enemies on the grassland, and there is not a day when they don't want to attack my Daming, steal our grain, and spoil our sisters.
Apart from them, how many people are eyeing me?
Moreover, my current population in Daming is too large, and the land is no longer enough, so there are people who are hungry.
As the emperor, I represent the herdsmen of the heavens, but my people are hungry, and my heart is about to break!
Therefore, I ask you to study hard, practice your skills, defeat them in the future, occupy their land to distribute to my people, let my enemies become my slaves, work for us, and rebuild the glory of my Ming! ”
