1188 It is not an exaggeration to celebrate the whole country
Actually, what Yang Sichang didn't know was that before he remembered this, Hong Chengchou had already taken the lead to report the victory.
However, there is not much difference between them in front and behind.
Because, Emperor Chongzhen didn't wait online at all. After all, he is not a novice anymore, when dealing with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he has followed up on many wars, and even drove the expedition in person and experienced the war.
For this battle that took place at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, as long as the Khalkha people did not find the troops and horses led by Hong Chengchou before he fell asleep, the result was doomed.
Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen went online, Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang both reported the results of the battle.
In the battle at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the cavalry of the Ming army led by Yang Sichang was more than 10,000, and the remnants of the Oirat tribes had more than 4,000 combat strength, plus women and children, etc., the number reached about 10,000; The cavalry led by Hong Chengchou did not lose much when they swept Mobei, and when they reached the Tianshan Mountains, there were nearly 60,000 of them.
On the side of the Khalkha tribes, the three major tribes together have a total of nearly 70,000 horses. In terms of troops, the two sides are about the same in number.
As a result of the battle, the Ming army killed 356 people and wounded more than 200 people; The Oirat tribes lost 796 killed and wounded more than 400; On the side of the Khalkha tribes, more than 10,000 people were killed and wounded, 40,000 were captured, and about 10,000 people fled temporarily; Most of them fled to the west, but the Ming army followed and pursued, and it is estimated that they can kill and wound a lot.
On the side of the slave chieftains, Tushetu Khan Gunbu was killed on the spot, and the body was only later found and identified; On the way to escape, Chechen Khan Shuoli was caught up and captured by the Ming army, and is now being held in the Ming army camp; Zasaktu Khan Norbu ran fast, among the Khalkha who fled westward.
Judging from the later statistics, the casualties of the Ming army and the Oirats were mainly concentrated on Yang Sichang's side, that is, in the night attack to attract the attention of the Khalkhas. In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen also understood.
This battle report can be seen by the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty in the temporary group.
Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen summoned them to a meeting in the Wenhua Palace, as soon as he arrived, before he could speak, the courtiers below were all full of smiles and congratulated Emperor Chongzhen first.
"The minister is the emperor, since the founding of the dynasty, after this war, it can be regarded as the real pacification of northern Mongolia!" Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, first said, "The old minister thinks that he should sacrifice to the Taimiao to comfort the soul of the ancestor in the sky!" ”
Taizu's Northern Expedition drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains; Chengzu made five expeditions to Mongolia, and finally he was on the journey; Pacifying Mongolia has always been the last wish of these two majestic Ming emperors!
However, after these two founding emperors, there was a change in the civil fort, and the Mongols actually captured the Ming Emperor. This is a great shame for Da Ming, but there is no way. People are nomadic herders in the steppe, and they have no fixed residence, and it is really difficult to really pacify the Mongols.
In the end, the Ming Emperor and his officials came up with the idea of making the leader of the Mongols king, which was used as a way to pacify the Mongols. However, the subsequent fact is that the Mongolian Altan Khan entered the pass and besieged the Beijing division, which shows that the Ming State could not pacify the Mongols at all, no matter what method was used.
This is the regret of almost all the Ming Emperors, and it is also the regret of the Ming civil officials and military generals.
Originally, everyone thought that it would be impossible to completely pacify Mongolia! After all, even the two emperors of the founding of the country could not be pacified, after all, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than 250 years, and there is no way to take Mongolia.
However, today, with the victory of the Mobei War and the victory of the Tianshan War, this means that the Ming Dynasty has truly pacified Mongolia!
In the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expelled the Xiongnu and left a name for future generations; However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty paid a great price for this, exhausting the wealth left by the rule of Wenjing, and the former Han Dynasty also went into decline.
However, today, Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming Dynasty has done the same, even more thoroughly than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. All the Mongols who remained in the grasslands north of the Ming Dynasty have become the real people of the Ming Dynasty, and all the grassland tribes that are enemies of the Ming Dynasty have all been wiped out, and the only remnant is now fleeing to places further west than the Western Regions.
Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty strategized, and every time he fought, he consumed less money and grain in the treasury. Each capture can hedge against the attrition of the army. This kind of war, even if there are more fights, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty will not be empty. What's more, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty governed the country well, and in the treasury, he could no longer starve to death rats like before he ascended the throne, and the treasury had a surplus every year!
Nowadays, it can be said that the grassland is the grassland of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the Hetao, or Horqin, or Mobei, it is the grassland of the Ming Dynasty!
With such a great achievement, how can he not excite Wen Tiren and other courtiers? How can you not sacrifice to the Taimiao, so that the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty feel gratified in the spirit of the sky?
Cao Huachun, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant eunuch, even followed Wen Tiren and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that such a great victory should be amnesty to the world, so that all the people in the world will know His Majesty's great achievements, and the whole country will celebrate it!" ”
Sun Chengzong, the second assistant of the cabinet, was even more emotional, he had been leading the military for a long time, and he knew how difficult it was to pacify the grassland like the emperor! What's more, he witnessed the emperor's reversal, in addition to pacifying Mongolia, there was also the pacification of the huge Manchu rebellion! Nowadays, it can be said that in the north of the Ming Dynasty, where the sun shines, it is already the land of the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking so, he followed closely and played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the old minister seconded the proposal, it should be amnesty to the world, and the whole country should celebrate together!" ”
When the other courtiers heard this, they also seconded the proposal. Among them, Xue Guoguan also said loudly: "Your Majesty, the territory of my Ming Dynasty has been more than doubled, such a happy event, it is not an exaggeration to celebrate the whole country, to congratulate Your Majesty, to congratulate Daming!" ”
The territory he received was more than doubled, and of course he included all the places in the far north, which was a little bit of a pat on the back of Emperor Chongzhen. After all, for them, the land of the far north is inhuman, and if they really want to be included in the territory, they can actually do it before. But if you really want to say it, at least Emperor Chongzhen knows the value of the Far North, which is not comparable to the previous emperors.
Such a happy event, amnesty to the world, the whole country to celebrate, can be much more meaningful than the ordinary emperor and queen mother's birthday, this amnesty of the world, will be engraved by history! And these courtiers will also be the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they will be famous for centuries!
However, Emperor Chongzhen was not as excited as his courtiers.
For him, with the chat group system, he is a traverser, step by step to pull the Ming Dynasty back from the brink of extinction, step by step to repel the Jianyu, blockade the Jianyu, eliminate the Jianyu, integrate the Han and Mongolia, etc., it is all logical, step by step it is completed.
In this ancient period when communication was not developed, there was also cheating in the chat group system, saying that random addition of people is not a random addition, basically, every time there is a war, you can do it, you know the enemy's whereabouts well, and the enemy has a black eye, just like that, if you can't win the enemy, then it's really too weak!
For Emperor Chongzhen, pacifying Northern Mongolia is only the first step, the center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty is still in the South Seas, on the entire earth, and the next thing is to seal out so many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, and seal the whole world, this is where you need to work hard!
However, seeing that the courtiers below were so happy, Emperor Chongzhen was also happy, and thought in his heart, since you are so happy, then let everyone be happy! So, he smiled and nodded and replied, "Quasi-all Aiqing played!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were very happy. However, Wen Tiren deserved to be the first assistant, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty, the imperial court should properly deal with the people of the Oirats as soon as possible!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!" The second assistant Sun Chengzong also immediately said, "This matter should be dealt with on the day of the great victory!" ”
For this, Emperor Chongzhen will naturally not drag, this place in the west must be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise how can the hand of the Ming Dynasty reach out to Western Siberia for oil and gas?
He thought about it for a while, and then said to the ministers: "Ozirtu has an injury on his body, so let him come to Beijing to recuperate." As for the position, I think that he has taken the initiative to dedicate the land and return to the merit, and can be crowned with Shuote Gong, what do you think? ”
When everyone heard this, they were not surprised. If according to the previous practice, the Great Khan of the Mongol tribe would generally be crowned king. However, that kind of king is actually just a name, and people still live in their own tribes, and they have nothing to do with Daming. Now that Ozirtu wants to be a real Ming courtier, it is not suitable to be a king, after all, among the Ming courtiers, there is really no king with a different surname, and now it is still a vassal king, and it is even more impossible to be a king or something.
"The minister seconded the proposal!" All the ministers below echoed in unison.
Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment, and then continued: "Governor Hong garrisoned at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, tried his best to gather the remnants of the Oirath tribe, and reorganized the Oirat tribe, I decided to set up a new province, choose a land with fertile water and grass, and can be cultivated and developed, imitate the naturalized city to build a city, move the Han people to cultivate, and combine the nomadic herding with grazing. “
Facts have proved that building settlements for the Mongols and complementing the Han Chinese can effectively control the Mongols. This has been verified at least from Baotou, Guihua City, and the newly built city of Horqin Grassland.
Therefore, when everyone heard this, they all called His Majesty wise, and all of them seconded it.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at them, and then said: "I have thought that in the land of Mobei, I will also build a city and set up Mobei Province to govern the land of Mobei and the land of the extreme north. ”
Hearing this, this time, the courtiers at the bottom did not like at the beginning, and immediately seconded the proposal. Instead, everyone looked at each other, and then Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, now Mobei has been swept by my Ming plough court, and the captured population, cattle and sheep have been escorted back to the city. ”
Sun Chengzong also followed: "Actually, not only Mobei, but now this new province is too far for my Ming Dynasty, and the construction of the city and the province is also because I have to go west in the future, so I can barely do it." ”
Seeing their reactions and listening to their words, Emperor Chongzhen didn't look angry, he heard it, and asked the courtiers lightly: "Zhuqing, do you mean that these places are too far away and the transportation is inconvenient?" ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Wen Tiren echoed.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Wen Tiren and said: "Wen Qing has not forgotten, I said that as long as I work hard to develop science and technology, one day, Jingshi will arrive at Yingtianfu, and it will be possible to arrive in one hour; One day, I will go to the moon. At that point, will distance still be an issue? ”
The ministers below were dumbfounded, and after a while, Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, although this is what you say, but if these things are to be realized, I don't know how many hundred years it will take, and it is too early to say!" ”
This kind of thing still exists in the imagination, so think about it, is there really a day when you see it?
As soon as his words fell, Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, came out and retorted loudly: "As long as I promote Your Majesty's scientific and technological knowledge with all my heart, such a thing will be realized sooner or later, why use hundreds of years!" ”
When he said this, he was full of confidence, not because of how deep his research on scientific and technological knowledge was, but because as a eunuch, it was easy for him to walk in the palace and see things.
However, Cao Huachun's words were also reasonable, so that Wen Tiren couldn't refute them.
Although this is the case, the transportation problem that hinders the effective rule of the Ming Dynasty is still very realistic.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Cao Huachun, knowing why he was so confident, and thought in his heart that this matter should also be announced.
So, he glanced at the courtiers below, smiled and said, "You should all know that during this time, there have been strange things in the Forbidden City, right?" ”
As soon as they heard this, all the courtiers were stunned, but they immediately understood what strange things the emperor meant.
About a month ago, there was often smoke in the Forbidden City, and the sound was very loud, it sounded like the sound of a steam engine, but the movement was moving. At first, they all thought it was a steamship, but there was a lake in the Imperial Garden in the Forbidden City, and from the sound and the direction of the smoke, it seemed to be on the lake of the Imperial Garden. Therefore, everyone is curious, what is going on in the Forbidden City?
However, it is obvious that Emperor Chongzhen has issued a gag order, and these courtiers have asked and have not been able to get an answer. Now it seems that the emperor is about to announce the answer.
These courtiers, naturally not stupid, connected with the purpose of the steam engine, and then thought of the background in which the emperor mentioned this, they couldn't help but have a guess in their hearts. But it doesn't seem to be much use to think about it, but the emperor still mentions, is there anything different from what he thinks?
Thinking like this, they were extremely curious, and they all looked at Emperor Chongzhen, waiting for the emperor to reveal the answer.
