Chapter 692: History of the Ming Kingdom
Shen Xi heard that the envoy of the Dayan Ministry to the capital this time was not the national teacher Yisi Mayin, without this think tank, plus the new defeat a year ago, its envoys were very respectful to the Ming court, and there was no need for the court to let Shen Xi come to another tongue war Tartar. However, judging from all the news, there is no doubt that the envoy of the Dayan Ministry proposed that the Ming envoy to the grassland was Shen Xi.
The Ming court did not recognize Shen Xi's brilliant exploits in this war against the Tatars, but the defeated Tatars learned through spies that they did not lose to the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, but to Shen Xi, the "Qincha" who commanded bravely on the battlefield with the Franc machine gun and the battle.
With the defeat of the Tatars, there was a rebellion in the Dayan tribe, which had basically unified southern Mongolia, and it was divided into several forces within the country, and they fought against each other.
The Ming court saw that the opportunity to establish the Ming Dynasty as the **** kingdom had come, and regardless of the previous contradictions, it actually accepted the request of the Dayan Ministry, re-accepted the Dayan Ministry, and provided some support for the Dayan Ministry's unification of the Mongolian tribes.
After Shen Xi learned these news, he wondered in his heart, who had written so many scattered plans on his desk? This person doesn't write anywhere else, but wants to write on his desk, does he want to put these unformed plans into practice after he sorts them out?
Shen Xi thought to himself: "I don't even know who you are, will I help you do such a thankless job?" ”
There were Xie Qian and others to block Shen Xi, and Emperor Hongzhi did not directly appoint Shen Xi to envoy to the grassland, but he did not designate anyone else, and the matter dragged on.
The nineteenth day of the first month is the day when Shen Xi gives lessons to the crown prince Zhu Houzhao.
The place of class this day is in the back of the Wenhua Palace, I haven't seen it for a few months, the little prince Zhu Houzhao has grown up a little, he has been staying with his father and mother during the Spring Festival, and he has been happy to celebrate the New Year, and has not returned to live in the Fang Palace.
As soon as Shen Xi came, Zhu Houzhao was very happy when he saw it, and got up to greet him: "Mr. Shen, are you the one who teaches the history of Twenty-One?" "It's like an old friend who hasn't seen each other for a long time, but after seeing it, it's very cordial.
"The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Shen Xi saluted.
"No need to be polite, this palace told the queen mother a few years ago that I must find you back as a teacher...... Hey, you don't know how good I am at kicking now, I tried against those little eunuchs before, they couldn't kick me, I scored several goals! ”
What a bear child, no matter how many goals you score, will it be useful for you to govern the country in the future? It doesn't do you any good except to make yourself appear more playful in the eyes of others.
"Mr. Shen, did you hear me? I know you're a great kicker, and I want to compete with you. Zhu Houzhao said with interest.
At this time, the Zhongyun officials who were in charge of recording were more embarrassed.
The prince wants to play a juju with his husband, and says that he wants to have a competition, although it seems that the prince has certain ambitions, but how can this kind of thing be recorded in the book?
Shen Xi was quite helpless, it turned out that the prince remembered him, not to let him teach, to put it bluntly, he was still playing.
"Prince, let's talk about "History of the Song Dynasty" today." Shen Xi said in a flat tone.
"What are you talking about "History of the Song Dynasty", haven't you talked about it several times before? I can recite it now. Zhu Houzhao said disdainfully.
"Then the prince will listen to it backwards." Shen Xi closed the lecture and said unceremoniously.
"Do you really want me to carry it? Then listen well, wait...... "History of the Song Dynasty" records the history of the dynasty that jumped into the sea with the little emperor on his back, right? Zhu Houzhao asked with a wink.
Shen Xi thought to himself, is this what you call "History of the Song Dynasty" backwards? I don't even remember which dynasty is the Song Dynasty, this is a ten-year-old bear child, in less than five years, your father will be hanging, and you will be the emperor, you know?
But no matter what, Zhu Houzhao at least knew, so Shen Xi nodded in appreciation.
"That's it, isn't "History of the Song Dynasty" the little emperor following Lu Xiufu...... That's right, that's the name, jumping into the sea and dying, the front is the battle of Song and Meng, and then the front is Yue Fei's resistance to the Jin ......"
The whole thing is like a stream, but he uses the chronicle of the Song Dynasty that Shen Xi wrote for him to fool people. Shen Xi said: "The prince has learned like this, does he want to be a prince with peace of mind in the future, and he doesn't even have the ability to govern the country?" ”
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Even if I become the emperor, naturally there are ministers to govern the country for me, why do you want me to come by myself?" The queen mother said that the responsibility of the palace is to manage the minister well and let the minister do his best. ”
is really a "good mother" who can teach her son, no matter how you look at it, it seems that Queen Zhang doted on her son too deeply and instilled some wrong ideas, causing Zhu Houzhao, who was young, to think about troublesome others to help him do things, but he never thought that the world was his own world.
It's a pity that it was precisely because you didn't learn and didn't know how to do it that led to your wanton behavior, and the throne was finally passed to your cousin Zhu Houxi, and your father's ambition was cut off in you.
Shen Xi said: "The truth that water can carry a boat can also overturn a boat, has the prince heard of it?" ”
"I'll go, I've heard a lot of this kind of talk in this palace, you say something new, or you can find something interesting in the history of the twenty-first to tell me, even if it's not fun, you said that those who ride horses and fight, I want to hear it." Zhu Houzhao felt that Shen Xi was not as interesting as he imagined, and sat back in the chair.
Shen Xi said: "Well, today I will talk about how Taizu bowed his horse to level the world!" ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked, "What Taizu, Tang Taizu?" Song Taizu? ”
Shen Xi said angrily: "I'm Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"This is good, this is good, you say it quickly!"
Zhu Houzhao was so happy, what he wanted to know most on weekdays was the history of the Ming Dynasty, but no one had ever told him, because he felt that he was young and had not yet reached the time when he needed to understand the history of the Ming Dynasty, especially if he didn't want Zhu Houzhao to know that there were so many intrigues in the Ming Dynasty, and there would also be uncles and nephews who killed each other in order to compete for the throne.
Shen Xi was about to speak, but Liu Jin was clever and reminded: "Lord Shen, there are some things you can't talk about!" ”
Shen Xi said: "It is my responsibility to tell the history of the Twenty-first for the Prince, as for what I want to talk about outside of history, I will weigh it myself." ”
Liu Jin didn't dare to say anything more, he was just a eunuch, and he was not qualified to guide the officials of the East Palace at all, so he hurriedly turned to the officials who were studying next to him.
But from the very beginning, Shen Xi was a person who talked about the history of the twenty-first year, and there were Shen Xi's officials in this room, even if someone felt that what Shen Xi said was not in accordance with the rules, they could not stop it, they could only record it and hand it over to Shangguan or the emperor to adjudicate.
"I want to listen, you say it quickly, even if you say it badly, this palace will tell my father and the emperor to forgive you for your crimes."
Shen Xi said: "Okay, today I will talk about the history of Taizu's destruction of the Ming Dynasty......
Shen Xi put down the lecture and began to tell it eloquently.
Shen Xi started from the peasant war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and first explained that the cause of the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was because of the internal political turmoil of the Yuan Dynasty, the frequent changes of the imperial throne, and the intensification of the struggle for imperial power, which made the power of the imperial court gradually fall aside, forming the cause of the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Then Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng, Xu Shouhui and others appeared on the stage, and the Red Turban Army uprising was mighty, although most of these uprisings ended in failure, but then followed by the military secession of the Jiangnan region.
After listening to it for a long time, Zhu Houzhao became a little impatient, frowned and asked, "You said the story of Taizu, but where is Taizu?" ”
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't say that about the grandfather, you have to call ...... by generation."
"What do you call this palace, do you mention that Taizu is not called Taizu, but also called son and grandson?"
As soon as these words came out, all the people next to him were as pale as earth, that is, the prince dared to say this, and if others criticized Zhu Yuanzhang so much, it would not be far from the big dismantling.
Shen Xi said: "The prince will talk about it after listening." ”
Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jin angrily, sent him to stand next to him, and continued to listen to Shen Xi's story.
Soon, Shen Xi's story tells that Zhu Yuanzhang stood out in the Red Turban Army and gradually grew from an unknown junior to a general who could take charge of himself.
This seems to be an inspirational story of fighting monsters and upgrading, full of enthusiasm, Zhu Houzhao listened to it very energetically, this is my ancestor, even if others look down on him, he can become a big man admired by everyone, and he can also create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty and leave me a good country.
"Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Hearing the back, Zhu Houzhao had already kept urging Shen Xi to speed up the progress of the story.
Shen Xi continued to tell his story, but the next content was not what Zhu Houzhao liked to hear, because Chen Youliang, Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding and other people who opposed Zhu Yuanzhang in Jiangnan appeared, and these people caused Zhu Yuanzhang a lot of trouble, and Zhu Yuanzhang was even defeated for a time.
Zhu Houzhao's fists were clenched tightly, and he couldn't wait to enter the story and help his ancestors fight the country.
Shen Xi found that in addition to being playful, Zhu Houzhao was also very interested in war, which was why he could be called "Emperor Wu" among so many emperors in the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty did not rebel until the Zhengde period, but fortunately, these wars did not last too long, and the harm to the Ming rule was not great, otherwise the title of "Emperor of Mercy" would fall into his hands, how to look at Zhu Houzhao was a "tragic emperor" in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
When Shen Xi talked about the Battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang died in battle, and Zhu Houzhao became proud again, after all, it is the story of the ancestors, which is related to the body, which is much more exciting than listening to those romances.
In the past, Zhu Houzhao listened to history, completely listening to "the history of other people's homes", but now it is different, listening to the founding calendar of the Ming Dynasty, which is very exciting.
"Tell me quickly, after this Chen Youliang dies, all that remains is how to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, right?"
Zhu Houzhao has already started to write his own screenplay, which sounds a little reliable, because Shen Xi also said before that the Yuan Dynasty at that time was not a great threat to Zhu Yuanzhang's regime, but Chen Youliang was like a thorn in his back, and he had to get rid of it quickly.
Shen Xi said: "The prince can't be in a hurry, he should take it step by step, although the final goal is to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, but he must first consolidate the rear, otherwise once the front starts a war, the rear is unstable, won't the previous efforts be wasted?" ”
"Oh?"
Zhu Houzhao blinked, he didn't seem to understand this, but he didn't care much at this moment, and continued to urge, "Hurry up, you just say what's going on in the future." ”
"After that, it's ...... fight with Zhang Shicheng"
Shen Xi began to talk about the series of battles to eliminate Zhang Shicheng, focusing on the Battle of Pingjiang, which lasted more than a year, and finally eliminated Zhang Shicheng's forces, and then began to eliminate Fang Guozhen, establish the Ming Dynasty after unifying Jiangnan, and then issue the "Edict to the Central Plains".
When he heard the call of the ancestor from Shen Xi's mouth to "expel Hulu, restore China, establish a program of Chen Ji, and relieve the people", Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned red when he heard it.
Next is the war against the Northern Yuan.
Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be in command, first sent troops to take Shandong, removed the barrier of the Yuan Dynasty, and then marched into Henan, cut off its wings, seize Tongguan, and occupy its threshold.
After that, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to the west, Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, Gansu swept down, the war lasted for two years, the Ming army came to Dadu, Emperor Yuan Shun led the three palace concubines, the crown prince and other embarrassed escape from the capital, fled to the Mongolian steppe. The rest of the warlords of the Yuan Dynasty, who had heavy troops and were brave in the civil war, all fled when the Ming army attacked, so that the 98-year rule of the Mongols in the Central Plains came to an end, the Ming Dynasty gained the right to rule the area within the Great Wall, and China returned to the rule of the dynasty established by the Han people, and at the same time, the 16 states of Yanyun that had been lost for 400 years were also recovered, and the Ming Dynasty was thus determined.
Zhu Houzhao breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this, and sighed lightly: "In the end, I still took the world down, and the palace is still worried about accidents." ”
Liu Jin covered his mouth and smiled: "Why should the prince worry, if Taizu has not calmed the world, how can he come to the prosperous world of Anbang today?" ”
"That's the reason, but what about later? It's the king of Kaiping, but they chased them out of the grassland and killed the people of the Yuan Dynasty without leaving a piece of armor? Zhu Houzhao was still not satisfied with what he heard, and continued to ask about the situation after that.
This time, Shen Xi shook his head directly: "It's easy to destroy one or two grassland tribes, but the grassland is vast and often uninhabited for thousands of miles, dare to ask the prince, how can it be completely wiped out?" You must know that wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows! ”
"This ...... Wouldn't it be enough to occupy all the space? Wherever there are people, kill them and see if they dare to threaten us! Zhu Houzhao took it for granted.
Shen Xi said: "If it were so easy, there would be no current Tatar disaster, this Tatar Diyi is precisely the legacy of Mengyuan, which can be described as infinitely harmful!" ”
