Chapter 22 The Ming Dynasty is not extinguished, and the incense lasts forever

Chongzhen Dynasty's Ming civil and military officials, nobles and internal supervisors, plus all the soldiers of the Mangui Department and the Beijing camp who defended the capital, and the people who were close to Deshengmen in Beijing City, today I saw a Western scenery - the emperor of the Ming Dynasty opened his mouth to scold the street on the city gate building, and the combat effectiveness of the shrews was so strong that they broke through the sky!

Jiannu, who was scolded by Chongzhen as a dog, began a mad dog-like siege mode under the leadership of Haoge. After all, no one can accept that their own family sweat is scolded like a dog, and there is no way to fight back!

Therefore, the siege battle has entered a white heat from the beginning, and the tall and majestic Beijing city wall has become a huge meat grinder! Jiannu desperately wanted to climb the city wall, but the Ming army on the city wall was desperately trying to prevent Jiannu from climbing up.

Fortunately, thanks to the powerful intelligence of Jinyiwei and the non-stop investigation at night, Emperor Chongzhen had already mastered the march of Jiannu, and even sent people to carry the city defense materials secretly prepared before the Jiannu soldiers came to the city.

It's just that no matter how well prepared they are, when Jiannu went crazy and used the Eight Banners of the Han Army and Horqin Infantry to fill in a flesh mill like the capital, the Ming army still inevitably suffered casualties.

Groups of wounded soldiers were quickly carried down for placement, and teams of reservists filled the vacancies in front of them. The men were constantly carrying the wood and rolling stones, and some of the women were boiling the gold juice - a thing that came into contact with a wound, with the medical standards of the time, basically meant waiting for death.

Man Gui commanded the city defense, and when he saw that Emperor Chongzhen was still standing on top of the city tower, he said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty might as well go back to the palace first, the soldiers here are in danger and danger, and it is not a place to stay for a long time." ”

Although Chongzhen thought that his martial arts were not weak, he also knew that personal bravery was of little use in the battle array, and there were still more elements of fear of death in the souls that had crossed over in later generations, so he said happily: "That's fine." This place will be handed over to Man Aiqing. It's just that if you don't have a critical moment, don't send out white pole soldiers, so as not to be noticed by Jiannu. Two days later, it will be the time to teach Jiannu to be a man! ”

The civil and military ministers next to them were speechless for a while, and they all secretly admired that the emperor was still in the mood to brag at this juncture. After all, it's Jiannu attacking the city now, it's not you attacking Shenyang City, big guy! It's so scary to stay here, if you die here, how can you enjoy the good life in the future? If it weren't for the fear that Jinyiwei and those eagle dogs in Dongchang would go crazy, the ghost would be willing to accompany your little emperor to the city to mess around!

Chongzhen didn't care what everyone thought, and after Man Gui bowed down, Chongzhen led the ministers of civil and military affairs to prepare to return to the palace. When I came down from the Desheng Gate, I happened to see a few wounded soldiers being carried over. Chongzhen's heart moved, so he asked the civil and military officials to disperse first, only taking some Dongchang fans and Jinyi guards, and followed from a distance.

followed a group of people carrying wounded soldiers, but entered a courtyard. The yard is quite large and tidy. A large number of wounded soldiers were placed in the courtyard, and only some people were simply bandaging, and from time to time some wounded soldiers cried out because they could bear the pain.

Whether it was a strong man or a wounded soldier, when he saw Chongzhen's dress and the ministers of the interior and foreign affairs who followed him, they all knew that the emperor had arrived, so they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Chongzhen rushed forward, pressed the wounded soldier closest to him, and shouted loudly: "Lie down!" No one is allowed to get up! Otherwise, it is a disobedience! After that, he pushed away the Dongchang fanzi who was trying to isolate himself from the wounded soldiers, and said angrily: "Wait for you to retreat!" The place where my Ming soldiers are is the most reassuring place for me! Don't be wary! I don't care about you! Then he turned his head to Wang Chengen and said: "Quickly go to the Tai Hospital to announce the decree, and order all the doctors in the rotating palace to come here for treatment!" Let the apprentices from the Tai Hospital also come and teach Minzhuang how to bandage. Take Jinyiwei and the people from the East Factory to go together! I see who dares not to come! ”

When Wang Chengen took a few Dongchang fans and Jinyiwei to the Tai Hospital, Chongzhen's face looked a little better. Then he said to the wounded soldiers in the courtyard: "My soldiers! You guys, hard work!

I know that no one wants to fight! But the dog Jiannu is here, can we not fight?

Behind us are our parents, wives and children! For the sake of our own parents, wives and children, we can't retreat!

No matter who becomes the emperor, the officials can continue to be their officials. But I, the emperor, have only one death. How can you protect your wives and children?

It's not that we're going to fight, it's that we're forced to fight!

I can't fight, so it's up to you! However, I will not let the soldiers who serve the country and the people shed blood and tears! I'll give you an explanation today! ”

After that, he said to Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Zhongxian, the proposed purpose!" Then he said aloud: "

First, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites have a division to build a martyr's shrine outside the Chengtian Gate. All those who sacrificed for the country are enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine! Its order, every year Qingming, by the prince led by hundreds of officials to worship! If the crown prince is not established, he will be replaced by the first assistant! On the first day of January every year, the emperor personally led hundreds of officials to worship! Tomorrow, the incense of the martyrs' shrine will not be extinguished!

Second, all those who serve in the army shall be exempted from conscription and taxes from the date of enlistment and within three years after returning to their hometowns.

Third, if he dies in the war for the country, his parents will be supported by the Ming Imperial Family! The local government, every New Year's holiday, must be in person to condole!

Fourth, if there is a wife in the family, if the wife does not remarry, in addition to the death allowance, his land is exempt from taxation until the death of his wife! His sons were all sent to the county school to study! Regardless of grades, they are not allowed to withdraw from school! The Ming treasury will pay for his living expenses until he is 18 years old!

Fifth, all the soldiers in the guard station are no longer engaged in farming, but concentrate on training. Military salaries are counted by the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Affairs allocates them in a unified manner. And then there is a drive to sergeants and cultivators, behead! After saying the content of the new edict aloud, Emperor Chongzhen said to Wei Zhongxian: "Wei Daban, draft an edict." This edict, according to the edict of never adding an edict, will be issued to the world and read out! ”

When Chongzhen's words fell, he heard a wounded soldier shouting there: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Then, more wounded soldiers cried out, and even some of the seriously injured shouted in disregard, so that the wound burst and fainted in pain, so that the doctors who were in a hurry were so busy that if they were a moment late, no one would have died of blood loss due to the bursting of the wound.

There were a lot of wounded soldiers here, and the shouting of long live was loud, plus Chongzhen was eager for the news to spread quickly, so what happened in the courtyard spread throughout most of Beijing in just a while.

And after more soldiers learned the news, a mood of fighting for their family and country, and preferring to die rather than take a step back, began to spread among the army.
