Chapter 924: Zen Rang

Huang Han has taken over all the major affairs of the country, and Chongzhen, who has nothing to see and is used to being busy, will definitely be very idle.

In order to prevent idleness from happening, and to prevent Chongzhen from thinking wildly and going to extremes.

Every day, three or five lobbyists selected from civil and military generals, nobles, clan relatives, and eunuchs were sent to reassure Chongzhen.

The main content, of course, is that the "King of Han" promised not to harm the Zhu Ming royal family, and at least gave them the living conditions of a rich man.

The use of the emperor, empress and concubines, princes, and princesses will only increase and will not be deducted, and will not restrict the emperor's personal freedom at all.

The emperor could go anywhere he wanted, even if he went to sea to "Hanjiang Province" or a new territory in the Americas, and the "King of Han" would definitely send the "Red Banner Army" to be responsible for security.

Of course, in addition to speaking comfortingly, there can also be persuasion and persuasion of Chongzhen Zen.

In order to reduce bloodshed and avoid roomwork to the greatest extent, it is necessary to take it step by step.

Huang Han planned to put Chongzhen in the air for a year or two to kill his violent temper, and then use the time to annihilate the Liukou and implement the new policy, and then directly slap him in the face with the beautiful achievements of Haiqing Heyan and the country's wealth and people's strength.

When he was forcing the palace, he asked Chongzhen face-to-face if he still insisted on being the emperor, which once again led to the robbers and the people's misery, and harmed hundreds of millions of people?

Chongzhen was forced to give way to Zen, it was necessary, if he was tough and never compromised, there was also a way to be flexible, and he could be forced to abdicate and support the crown prince Zhu Cihong to ascend the throne.

This prince is an out-and-out soft bone, and it can be seen that he actually surrendered to Li Chuang and was named "King of Song" in history.

In history, Zhu Cihong's ending is not very clear, he must have died in the chaos in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, but who did it was the thief? Or is it a slave? Or is it Wu Sangui's Guan Ning Army? It is impossible to judge.

Anyway, stealing the Ming Dynasty and shedding as little blood as possible is Huang Han's purpose, but he never thought of taking the lives of Chongzhen's family, so it is harmless to spend more time and more trouble for this.

After Zhu Cihong became a puppet emperor, if he didn't choose Chan Rang, it would be no problem to directly threaten him, because he still had two younger brothers.

It's a big deal to force Zhu Cihong to abdicate, and then give way to Tian Hongyu's grandson, Zhu Cizhao, the fourth son of the emperor.

This is the good citizen who escaped the massacre and became a Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, and lived until he was in his seventies, and he was inevitably slashed by the "Emperor of the Ages" Kang Mazi with thousands of knives and killed all over the house.

Zhu Cizhao's bones are even softer, allowing him to overdo the Ming throne and then concede it, without the slightest possibility of failure.

All in all, the fall of the Ming Dynasty into the hands of Huang Han is actually a kind of salvation for Chongzhen and his family, but they can't tell them.

Now Chongzhen is still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he knows that the recovery of Shenyang means that the victory is decided, and the main force of the puppet Manchu Qing Dynasty is only about one percent remaining, and it is no longer able to turn the tables.

The emperor knew that the "King of Han" was good at leading troops and that his subordinates could dare to fight, but he didn't expect that the "Red Banner Army" would be so powerful that it would be defeated in Jiannu, which had been rampant in Liaodong for fifty or sixty years.

In fact, Chongzhen is an honest man, and he loves face very much, such a character is destined to become a politician who can make a difference.

To engage in politics, we must turn the clouds and rain, deceive ourselves, speak out unashamedly, boast about ourselves, and lie one after another.

And Chongzhen just can't pull his face to erase the great achievements of the officials and soldiers of the "King of Han", so he must always show an attitude.

He handed over the matter of the reward to the cabinet for deliberation and set a date for celebrating the "great victory in Shenyang."

The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners and parading troops on the sixth day of the lunar month attracted hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to watch, and the cheers and cheers rose higher and higher, even covering up the rumbling horses' hooves.

Two thousand majestic and murderous knights, led by Yang Danian and Gu Jixiang, crossed the outer city and entered the inner city to fight on Chang'an Street.

Gu Jixiang actually carried the ace military dog Ge Liuben behind him, and a general carrying a dog behind him was too eye-catching and became the focus.

After the onlookers learned that this military dog was the hero who captured the puppet Manchu prince Duoduo alive, they asked the emperor to canonize him in unisonar, amusing the crowd on the street.

After the ceremony, thousands of "Han Wang" civil and military generals were added to the ranks, and Huang Yizhou and Hanzi were canonized as "Marquis of Liaoyang" and "Marquis of Ningyuan" respectively.

The fallen soldiers were all honored, and the highest-ranking martyr Yuan Siming was posthumously awarded the hereditary replacement of "Loyal and Righteous Uncle".

Song Pengfei, Huang Yong, Yang Danian, Zheng Xiaowen, Gao Youmou, Yang Hanwei, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Wang Zhicheng, Yang Guoen, Liu Fenyong, Sang Yu, Wang Zhanpeng, Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, and other 38 civil and military generals were awarded the title.

However, except for the hereditary replacement of the two marquises, the thirty-eight counts were all liujue, and the imperial court did not give them money, and left it to the "Hanjiang Province" to solve it by itself.

The "King of Han" is a civilian, official and military general, and he has never been a servant of the imperial court, so it is not surprising.

They didn't realize that the emperor suddenly became generous, giving so many empty titles at once, and there was actually a suspicion of discord between one over the other.

Fortunately, Huang Han has always emphasized that the title only represents honor, treatment, and status, and is not linked to actual position and power.

The "Red Flag Army" system, which almost monopolizes foreign trade, is really not bad for making money, and there are too many industries that can make huge profits in their hands.

In addition to iron and steel plants, cement factories, vehicle factories, pipe factories, valve factories, sanitary ware factories, textile machinery and equipment factories, etc., the steam engine factories under construction will become the most dazzling tax profits.

This is due to the accumulation of experience in building steamships with steam engines, technological innovation is always in progress, and seven steel steamers will be launched on the 15th day of the first month of next year.

Three of them are sea-going vessels with a displacement of 800 tons, which will be equipped with 60 guns and will sail at a speed of 6 or 7 knots against the wind, or a terrifying speed of 15 or 6 knots when the wind and water are good.

This is entirely because the designers fully consider the cost of sailing, save fuel, use the wind power as much as possible in the case of a tailwind, and start the steam engine to drive the propeller basically choose to sail against the wind.

Of course, as a warship, when chasing the enemy ship, it will definitely be fully driven, and it is impossible for any sail warship to escape the pursuit of the steel warship.

There are also four flat-bottomed river boats with a displacement of 150 tons, and these four ships basically do not undertake transportation tasks alone, and they can tow more than a dozen river boats with a displacement of about 200 tons to and from Nantong Prefecture, Nanjing, Anqing Prefecture, Kuizhou Prefecture, and Shizhu.

After the advent of steam engine steamships, the Yangtze River sailed much faster, and when it was originally going upstream, it was so slow that it could not be compared to walking, and the speed could be increased by three times.

The whole process uses thermal power, starting from Nantong Prefecture and going upriver to reach Shizhu, and it is not a problem to arrive in seven or eight days.
