565 Worship the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty
Everyone has curiosity, and even many people's gossip hearts are burning. But with the brocade guards, they had nowhere to inquire for a while. I followed along, and when the civil servants lined up to the door of the Martyrs' Hall, there were already a sea of people outside who were watching the excitement out of curiosity.
"What's going on, you know? It looks like these adults are all in trouble! ”
"It's not, it's like someone died in the family!"
"You see, even the elder of the pavilion has it! The leader one, but Cheng Ge is old! ”
"What's going on with the elder pavilion, haven't you seen it, the commander of the Jinyi Guard has made Lord Liu personally suppress the formation!"
"What the hell is going on? No, if they commit a crime, shouldn't Jinyiwei take them to Jinyiwei Prison, why did they come to the Martyrs' Hall? ”
"Yes, what are they doing in the Martyrs' Hall?"
“……”
This is the first time such a thing has happened, and no one can guess what this is for? But it didn't matter, just when they arrived at the gate of the Martyrs' Hall, Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, faced the crowd of onlookers and announced loudly: "A total of thirty-nine court officials deliberately slandered the front-line soldiers. The emperor is furious, how can such behavior be worthy of the Ming martyrs who throw their heads, spill their blood, and serve the country and the people! Without the heroic sacrifice of the Ming martyrs, how could the country and the people be safe! The emperor's special decree that the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty should not be desecrated, and they must not chill the hearts of the martyrs, so that they will repent of the martyrs! ”
After saying this, Liu Xingzuo urged these officials to go inside to worship the martyrs. The crowd of onlookers outside suddenly erupted into a "buzzing" discussion after the initial stunned.
"Ah, that's it, that's it...... Is this okay too? They are all civil officials, they are officials! Most of them are ordinary martial artists! ”
"What's wrong with ordinary martial artists? The emperor said that they died for my Daming. Without their heroic battles, would you have stood here and chattered? ”
"That's right, what happened to the warriors? If it weren't for the fact that these soldiers were fighting with their lives, at the end of last year, Jianyu would have attacked the city! ”
"At the beginning, when Jianyu ravaged Gyeonggi, the civil officials were all hiding in the city, and the city was full of warriors. There is also the war in Liaodong, we killed it, not them. Thinking about the final retreat of Jianyu from the land of Gyeonggi, wouldn't we be harmed? Our final retreat from Liaodong must have also caused great harm to Jianyu! ”
"After the war in the steppe, the Mongols will inevitably be frightened, and the people at the border will live and work in peace and contentment, whose credit is this?"
“……”
With the influence of the great victory of the grassland, the final voice of the emperor, and the civil officials to worship the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty, the views of the people of Beijing have inevitably undergone fundamental changes.
If you really want to talk about it, the so-called public opinion is actually relatively easy to manipulate. Those ordinary people are most likely to listen to the wind and rain, information is closed, simple-minded, and they can be enthusiastic when they are fooled. The mouth is closed one by one without any responsibility, which is not much different from the keyboard warriors of later generations!
At this time, as the people's feelings were correctly guided and they rediscovered the dedication of the martyrs, many people who had discussed it before finally repented and secretly repented. As the specific results of the grassland war were announced, more and more people went to pay homage to the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty.
Unconsciously, after this incident, the status of the Ming martyrs has been raised to a higher level in the hearts of ordinary people. The impression of the martial artist has also changed.
This situation was already expected when Emperor Chongzhen ordered civil officials to worship the martyrs. And that's what he did that.
Re-raising the status of the warriors so that they can be on the same level as civil officials and achieving both civil and military conditions is not something that the emperor can do with his next holy decree. After all, it has a history of hundreds of years, and it is necessary to slowly change the views of the people of the Ming Dynasty, unconsciously improve it, and guide it to achieve these at the lowest cost.
However, Emperor Chongzhen at this time was very busy. Although the grassland war came to an end, he had to worship the Taimiao, hold a meeting to reward the meritorious soldiers, and discuss the follow-up disposal of the grassland after the war.
It is also thanks to the prestige of the early dynasty before, the civil officials and military generals are very knowledgeable, no one dares to sing the opposite drama openly and secretly, the will of Emperor Chongzhen, with the cooperation of Shoufu Wen Tiren, has formed a holy decree one by one, and it has been passed out of the Forbidden City.
The first holy decree was to make Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, the governor of naturalization, the commander-in-chief of the military and political power of the grassland. Recruit herdsmen, reorganize armaments, and choose sites to build cities. One of them is determined by the emperor's imperial pen, that is, there must be a city in Baotou.
At this time, Baotou was still a small town that gathered spontaneously, and most of the miners gathered. Emperor Chongzhen, who traveled from later generations, naturally knew that the minerals here were extremely rich, and there was no reason not to occupy them. To this end, the cement factory also set up a branch plant in the grassland.
The second decree was given to Yang He, the governor of the three sides. Let him organize the victims of the disaster and send them to the city of naturalization as soon as possible, and the governor of naturalization will arrange for the reclamation of the Hetao Plain. The same decree was also sent to the governor of Xuanda and the governor of Shanxi, so that they could also organize the victims and send them to the grassland.
The third holy decree was given to the auxiliary minister Xue Guoguan, asking him to inspect various places and organize the transportation of grain and grass to the grassland.
It can be said that these first few holy decrees have mobilized almost all the manpower and material resources in the north of the Ming Dynasty to prepare for the large-scale development of the Hetao Plain.
But even so, the situation is still relatively grim.
First, there is no city wall in the steppe, and although there is no longer a large Mongol power in the Hetao area, there is no guarantee that the Mongols who are far away from the Hetao will see the richness of the Hetao after it has risen sharply and covet it. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the Ming power further away, and it is foreseeable that for a period of time in the future, the Hetao will always be in war readiness.
Second, grain is a big problem, and before the Hetao was reclaimed and harvested, although there were seized grain and grass, and seized cattle, horses, and sheep, it was still far from enough compared to people, and most of the grain had to be transported from the hinterland. This will also greatly test Daming's logistical ability! However, what Daming lacked the most at this time was actually food!
Third, it is still a national issue. Today, under naturalized rule, most of them are still Mongols. They have always been haunted by the thieves' insult to the corpses of their people who died in battle, and if they do not solve this problem, they will not be able to maintain internal stability.
For this reason, Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong's heads were sent back to Huacheng, and Man Gui, who was born in Mongolia, was also sent to the grassland to serve as Hong Chengchou's general. As for the two left-wing commanders, Hulukesaisang and Tashhaicesang, they were left in the Beijing division and let them serve as cavalry generals under the command of the new commander of the Beijing camp, Rongzu Dashou.
