Chapter 626 The foundation of the country, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty!
The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves
Looking at Qin Haoming, who was resolute and energetic, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was tumbling. It can be said that every sentence of Qin Aiqing can be thought-provoking and deafening.
He is not like the important ministers in the court, who talks about things every day with the sage's quotations and ancestral family law, but what he does is his own selfishness, and he is unspeakably low and dirty.
A white-clothed talent, a weak scholar, without any background, resolutely fought with the murderous Jiannu with the knife in his hand, and won a great victory in Zhao County.
With the heads of Prince Jiannu Abatai and Yue Tuo, he laid the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and started his legendary life.
It is different from Yuan's cannon chest that is hunting, claiming that he has been in peace for five years, and he is desperately asking the court for money in every possible way.
Qin Aiqing relied on his own ability, from scratch to pull up a hundred battles of iron cavalry, and did not spend a penny of the imperial court, he still had to enrich his inner treasury, it was really ashamed to think about it.
The scenes of the past have appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen one by one, and since Qin Aiqing entered the imperial court, it seems that he has never missed it.
What is even more rare is that his mind for the country and the people is inconsistent with his shameless words and deeds compared to his friends in the court, which undoubtedly makes him feel embarrassed.
"Aiqing, please let it go, in addition to recovering the publicity, I don't know what else you can do?"
Emperor Chongzhen, who was thinking clearly, was in a great mood, and watched while talking with a smile.
Qin Haoming smiled without saying a word, and led a few people across the curtain. When I arrived at another venue, there was also a two-mile radius.
Qin Haoming pointed to the construction site that had not yet taken shape and said with a smile: "There is a school field, you can point to a military parade, or you can simulate a horse battle!"
There is a city wall, which can simulate attacking and defending the city! There are mountains and ravines, which can simulate field battles!
Weichen is also ready to show together, with the Dingnan Army as a sparring partner, and the head of Jiannu as a warning, so that the people of Jingshi can personally lead the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and then know the beacon fire and wolf smoke! ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "I'm afraid that although you are good-looking, the people can't give birth to the heart of a tiger and wolf just by looking at the excitement?" ”
Qin Haoming shook his head in disagreement, of course, considering Chongzhen's mood, he also smiled and said:
"You can't do everything in one step, but of course you have to take it slowly. Today you know how to fight, tomorrow you will see the usual soldiers, and the day after tomorrow you will experience life and death, and there will always be a day when you will be invigorated and brave. ”
At this time, a handsome white-faced young man behind Chongzhen didn't know why, and suddenly asked Qin Haoming: "Lord Qin Du, I don't know how to understand it?" ”
Qin Haoming was stunned, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old kid dared to ask in front of the dignified governors of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, what is the way this is coming?
However, he immediately vaguely understood, and his gaze swept Emperor Chongzhen slightly.
Chongzhen smiled and tapped the dragon's head, which felt like the monarch and the minister knew each other.
However, Qin Haoming was a little stunned, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong, a very familiar name, but a very strange person, suddenly appeared in front of him.
In my mind, some memories appeared, and I unconsciously sighed slightly, this is a person who has been deliberately forgotten by history.
On March 18, 1644, Li Zicheng captured the outer city of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen climbed the Long Live Mountain, raised his eyes and looked around, there were banners of the Great Shun Army everywhere, and the city of Beijing was no longer the land of the Ming Dynasty.
Chongzhen knew that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly returned to the Qianqing Palace and recruited Zhu Cihong, the crown prince born to Queen Zhou, who was only sixteen years old. Chongzhen took the prince's hand and was grief-stricken.
Subsequently, he asked his two sons, Yong, Ding, the second king, and the crown prince to escape from the capital together, so as to avenge his parents' revenge.
Zhu Cihong burst into tears, and in the face of this sudden change, he had not immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
The reluctance to cling to his father made the two younger brothers Yong and Ding have to forcibly pull them away.
History, to be precise, should be the official history, and it was at this time that Zhu Cihong was forever frozen.
As his figure disappeared in the Qianqing Palace, the official historical records about him also disappeared.
It seems that this person's experience is just the end of the moment from birth to the moment of farewell to his father.
But later generations were not reconciled, and still wanted to find out the whereabouts of the deceased prince from the fragments.
Therefore, the prince's past is no longer important, and neither is the prince's talent and quality, nor is what he experienced before the age of sixteen.
Many people regard the search and speculation of his whereabouts as the main task of studying the crown prince.
There are only one or two things, or you can get a glimpse of one or two.
Beijing besieged the city, Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, and the crown prince was captured.
Many people in the old Zhu family may have strange things, but what is the same is that there are iron bones flowing in the blood.
Zhu Cihong asked Li Zicheng awe-inspiringly: "Why don't you kill me?"
Li Zicheng said: "You are not guilty, I will not kill in vain." ”
The crown prince Zhu Cihong said: "In this case, you rely on me for three things. First, do not shock the mausoleum of my ancestors, second, bury my father and queen mother with a ceremony, and third, do not kill my people. ”
Li Zicheng agreed.
This is the difference between fratricide and alienation, it will not break the ancestral bloodline and the culture of the clan, and the things in the bones are the same.
In that month, Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui were defeated and escaped from Beijing, and on the way, the crown prince Zhu Cihong took advantage of the chaos to get rid of Li Zicheng's clutches, but entered the real hell of death.
After escaping from the Dashun army, probably because he was looking for his relatives, he returned to Beijing, which was already in the hands of Jiannu, and found his maternal grandfather, Zhou Kui, and lived in the Zhou family.
and reunited with his sister, the princess Changping who had one of her arms cut off by Emperor Chongzhen.
The sisters and brothers hugged their heads and cried, immersed in grief all day, and inadvertently alarmed the neighborhood and patrols, and the villain Zhou Kui handed over his nephew to Dorgon, the regent of Jiannuqing at the time.
As soon as the news came out, "the people heard that the first emperor and the crown prince were still there, and there were many people who gave gifts to the prison."
Dorgon couldn't sit still. For him, a Zhu Cihong trapped in a prison cell is not terrible, what is terrible is Zhu Cihong who has the title of "prince".
For him, it is very troublesome to kill or stay now.
As a foreign invader, on the one hand, in order to buy people's hearts, he can bury Emperor Chongzhen and "treat well" all those who no longer resist.
On the other hand, they will not be soft on the obstacles to their unification of the Central Plains.
But Prince Ming is in the middle of the contradiction between these two attitudes.
If he is kept, the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty will hopefully carry his banner forward and follow him.
But if he is killed, the guise of "avenging the revenge of the monarch's father for the Ming Dynasty" carefully concocted by Jiannu will be self-defeating.
The benevolent can be wise in a hurry, and the treacherous and the like also have a little wisdom in danger.
Dorgon quickly came up with a good idea to kill two birds with one stone, and that was to make people point out that the prince was a fake and kill the prince for the crime of "impersonating the prince".
As a result, a farce of "authenticating the prince" was staged.
First of all, it was identified by relatives, the prince's grandfather Zhou Kui and his uncle naturally understood the intention of the regent's superiors, and insisted that the prince was a fake.
Princess Changping insisted that it was true, and after being slapped by Zhou Kui, she could only burst into tears.
Xie Sheng, a former cabinet scholar who used to be the prince's teacher, also pointed out that it was fake.
As a result, the crown prince was established.
After being sent to the Criminal Department, the principal Qian Fenglan tried to make sure that the prince was true and was immediately interrogated.
Soon after, the crown prince was killed on charges of "impersonating the former crown prince".
In other words, after his death, he did not even get the name of a prince, and he was annihilated in the long river of history.
"Qin Governor, Qin Governor ......"
Wang Chengen whispered to Qin Haoming, who was a little sad.
Qin Haoming came back to his senses, smiled kindly at the crown prince Zhu Cihong, pointed to his head and laughed at himself: "I'm sorry, my head is confused." ”
After speaking, as if he had made up his mind, he turned around and walked to Emperor Chongzhen's side and whispered: "Weichen wants the prince and the people around him to experience it in person, I don't know if it's possible?" ”
"Why not? Even I and Otomo want to experience it. ”
Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and said with great interest.
"No! Please ask the emperor and the prince to sweep the formation. Qin Haoming shook his head and categorically refused.
"I've made up my mind! Aiqing went deep into Liaodong to fight bloodily, fearless of life and death, and worthy of heaven for the country and the people, don't I even dare to experience it?
Today, he and the prince and Aiqing will fight the enemy together, and he will also have a good talk tomorrow. ”
The bloodiness in Chongzhen's bones was obviously to pay attention, and his eyes were firm so that Qin Haoming understood his determination.
"Weichen is offended, please don't be surprised by the emperor!"
Since Emperor Chongzhen has made up his mind, Qin Haoming is not hypocritical, he bowed slightly, turned around and shouted: "Where is Hu Handong who doesn't accept it at night?" ”
Hu Handong stood out and shouted: "The end will be!" ”
Qin Haoming shouted coldly: "With the spears of this governor, you lead five hundred iron cavalry to charge the formation, fifty steps diffusely, forty steps obliquely shot, thirty steps straight shot, twenty steps to charge the formation, ten steps to stop!" ”
Hu Handong gave up, Qin Haoming led eight people to the school field, and one of them gave a spear.
Chongzhen and the Prince were in the center, Qin Haoming, Wang Chengen, and several Chinese officials of the Prince's Mansion were guarding left and right, and eight people stood side by side with spears, looking ahead.
Qin Haoming held Chongzhen's left arm and said with a wicked smile: "If the emperor regrets it at this time, it will be too late." ”
Chongzhen and the prince glanced at each other, stood tall, and smiled silently.
Qin Haoming laughed, suddenly arrogant, and shouted: "Hu Handong! Charge! ”
One hundred and fifty steps away, Tie Yi drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Dingnan Army!" ”
The five hundred horsemen were arrayed and shouted, waving their swords: "Mighty!" Mighty! Mighty! ”
Hu Handong raised his long knife and shouted: "Dingnan Army! ”
Five hundred sabers were erected, and they shouted: "Fight to the death!" Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
The rolling sound waves, the killing sound shook the sky, majestic and mighty, and the pneumatic mountains and rivers.
The aura of slaughter is ruthless, cold to the bone, and terrifying.
The iron horse hissed, the iron armor was cold, the saber was roaring, and the momentum was pressing, surging and worshipping one hundred and fifty steps away, like a mighty wave rushing into the sky.
Qin Haoming was as if nothing happened, Wang Chengen was in a commotion, Chongzhen and the prince changed color together, their two strands trembled, their spears trembled, and they were all soft and confused.
After a moment, Chongzhen puffed up his chest, held the prince's hand with his right arm and said tightly, "Emperor, straighten your waist." ”
Hu Handong slashed with a big knife and roared angrily: "Rush into battle!" ”
The five hundred horsemen moved when they heard the sound, slowly moving forward, gradually speeding up, rolling the wind and clouds, rolling over.
Hundred horses in front, such as the forest and moving, one hundred horses in the back, such as the mountain shaking, a hundred horses with each other, such as the sky falling and the earth sinking, two hundred horses galloping, such as the tide of the sea, overwhelming.
Chongzhen, the crown prince and the others were at a loss, and Qin Haoming shouted loudly: "The array is tight, and it is as immobile as a mountain!" ”
The rest of the Prince's Mansion was frightened, gritted their teeth and insisted, but they had unconsciously taken a step back, and they were no longer on the front line with Qin Haoming.
Eighty paces of iron horses galloped at full speed, stirring up a vast amount of dust and smoke. Fifty steps of iron armor collided like a mountain, and the warrior waved his hands, and the boundless arrow rain instantly covered the sky.
Thirty steps of the bow and arrow were raised diagonally, the arrow flickered, and instantly swept over the heads of eight people.
Wang Chengen and the others had weak legs and fell to their knees.
The prince's face was pale and crumbling, and Emperor Chongzhen was also a little shaky, Qin Haoming grabbed him and shouted: "Resist the spear and rush to the enemy!" ”
Twenty steps are coming in an instant, as if the sky is shaking, the sky is falling, the waves are reversed, and the waves are head-on.
The prince fell with his head on his back, screaming miserably, and the five hundred iron horsemen roared in unison and slammed into them.
Quiet, momentary quiet, majestic, heavy breath, the prince slowly opened his eyes, but saw five hundred iron horsemen standing in array, motionless like a mountain!
Only the iron hooves of the war horse ploughed the ground, only the saber was shiny and held high, only the iron armor was cold, and only Chongzhen and Qin Haoming, who were holding on tightly, still stood upright.
The others fell to their knees as if they were dead.
Qin Haoming and Chongzhen looked at each other and smiled, although they were shocked, they stood as usual.
Chongzhen looked at the murderous Hu Handong and other generals in front of him, his face was pale and he exhaled, and unconsciously clenched his fist and raised his right arm and shouted: "It's really a weapon of the country!" ”
Qin Haoming glanced at the prince who was still a little confused, and then said in a deep voice to Chongzhen:
"I, the Ming Dynasty, have always valued literature over martial arts, honorable scholars and ministers regard martial arts as lowly, and scholars and people regard soldiers as vulgar.
Every time you talk about tea with victory or defeat, and every time you talk about the generals after dinner, who has ever complained about the soldiers?
If you win, you will forget about death, and if you lose, you will reprimand the three armies, and the salary will not be enough to support your family, the armor will not be enough to protect yourself, the soldiers will not be enough to kill the enemy, the training will be insufficient to fight, and the disabled will not be enough to provide for the bereavement.
Famous generals are driven by the disabled, and mediocre generals are also driven by the dead and wounded, who cares about what they think when they fight, and who cares how they feel when they fight?
is so unfair, even if I have millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, if I don't have the courage to die for the sake of the Son of Heaven and the country, how can I have a strong army? ”
Chongzhen turned his head to look at the civil servant of the prince's mansion who was sitting on the ground, like a dead man, and suddenly smelled a smell of urine, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Ahead, Hu Handong's five hundred iron horsemen were silent, only the neighing of war horses came from the interval.
"Aiqing, I understand!" A flash of realization flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, and he pointed to the five hundred nights in front of him and said to Qin Haoming: "They are the foundation of the country!" ”
"Long live the foundation of the country!"
At this moment, Qin Haoming didn't care whether he leaked Chongzhen's itinerary or not, raised his arms and shouted loudly.
"The foundation of the country, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Five hundred warriors followed Qin Haoming's call, raising the waist knife in their hands and pounding their left chest, with a terrifying momentum.
Emperor Chongzhen grabbed the hand of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, held it high, his eyes were slightly moist, and he muttered to himself, "The foundation of the country, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
