Section 88 Entering Beijing to offer prisoners
The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer
"Although you are blessed today, Lu Jiandou is fortunate to have annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies, and I am afraid that there will be many injuries. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info must be concealed and not reported in order to please Your Majesty.
Ke Jiannu still has 70,000 iron horsemen in the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and there are still hundreds of thousands of people in control of the strings in its territory. If His Majesty forcibly holds a ceremony to sacrifice prisoners, it may irritate the construction of slaves.
If they do everything and go south in a big way, not only will they fail to negotiate peace, but they will also be able to resist the advantages of the Jiannu soldiers.
According to the minister's opinion, we must not be quick enough to put the country in the hands of fire and water! ”
Alas!
Chongzhen let out a long sigh, and his chest was depressed.
He ascended the throne at the age of seventeen and has been on the throne for eleven years.
The first emperor was high-spirited and ambitious, despised the Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, and wanted to do a great career with a group of ministers to save the Ming Dynasty in the turmoil.
But don't talk about Wang Zuozhicai, who governs the country by the state, there is not even a person who can meet his heart a little.
Finally, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang were a little pleasing to the eye, but they were incompatible and framed each other.
No day is happy on the throne, and all that awaits him is the endless recitals, court discussions, summons, and daily lectures and feasts.
At the same time, the war reports of the continuous rout of the front line and the empty recital of the treasury are also full of his imperial cases, difficult!
Chongzhen is a very complicated person, since he was a child, he attacked the prince of Xin, and his long-term call for slaves and servants made him have a strict and harsh temperament, and he was stubborn and self-serving.
On the other hand, the loneliness, loneliness and dangerous situation since childhood made him sensitive and suspicious, and overly conceited, but he always couldn't make up his mind at a critical moment.
"Your Majesty, if you want to say that this Governor Lu really has some ability!
The old slave remembered that a few days ago, he once said that he would defeat the Tartars, and vouched for his life, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he would annihilate nearly 10,000 Tartars in a battle.
And there is a Baylor, a few solid mountain foreheads, and dozens of Jiala forehead true heads, how have there been such great victories in recent years?
Even at the beginning, Ning Yuan's victory was not as large as the number of Tartars eliminated in this battle.
If the subjects of Jingshi know, the whole country will celebrate. ”
Wang Chengen saw Emperor Chongzhen sighing for a long time, in a dilemma, thought about it, and stepped forward to say this.
Unlike Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, who are eunuchs who bring disaster to the country and the people, Wang Chengen is a loyal and virtuous person.
Otherwise, he would not have accompanied Chongzhen to hang the coal mountain without complaint or regret when Li Zicheng entered the capital and the Manchu Dynasty changed its civil and military court.
"Wang Bandang, I also know. However, the soldiers are in a dilemma! ”
That is, the eunuchs who are close to him, Chongzhen will show his weak side.
"The old slave thinks that Governor Lu is right, the alliance under the city is shameful in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
Now that he has said the beginning, Wang Chengen has nothing to scruple about next.
Yang Sichang is selfish, he knows it.
The imperial court has been defeated repeatedly against Jiannu, and the morale of the entire Ming people is completely lost, and it is rare to have a big victory, this is an opportunity.
As a slave who has been by his side for a long time, he knows more or less about Emperor Chongzhen's character.
Chongzhen was terrified, he was a man of great conceit and fame.
Once Yushi Wangzong compared him to Emperor Wen of Han, which was originally a sycophant, but Chongzhen was very unhappy when he heard it.
He thought that Emperor Wen of Han was only a moderate emperor and felt that it was not worth mentioning compared to himself.
Another time, Yang He mentioned Tang Taizong to the ministry, and Chongzhen said: "Tang Taizong swept away the heroes, and I am ashamed that I don't have that kind of talent; But when it comes to the disorder of the boudoir and the corruption of the family law, I am ashamed to compare it with him. ”
In fact, even characters like Tang Zong and Song Zu can't compare to themselves.
The reason why he secretly did not dare to openly support Yang Sichang in this peace conference is also because of these reasons.
"Yes, I originally thought the same way, and was almost misled by Yang Wenweak.
It is also a good strategy to promote peace! ”
"Your Majesty, the sky is arbitrary!
There are thousands of suggestions from the courtiers, and your majesty knows which one is right and which one is wrong, and it is great wisdom! ”
Wang Chengen bowed and saluted, and repeated the sycophants that he had spoken thousands of times.
Chongzhen was still proud in his heart when he heard this, shook the front of the dragon robe and sat back on the throne, and wrote three good words in a row in Lu Xiangsheng's dedication to Chen.
The cold wind is strong, and it is cold!
Qin Haoming and Qi Gang led the elite of the 500 Tianxiong Army, escorted the remaining 120 Tartars, each galloping on the official road to the capital.
The cold wind could not blow away the blood in Qin Haoming's heart, and through these two battles, it was proved that the elite of the Ming Dynasty was not inferior to the Tartars.
Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
The key is to have passion and enthusiasm, to have adequate training, and of course logistics must also keep up.
Looking at the Ming soldiers who were in skirmish combat mode behind him and running at full speed in a one-word formation, Qin Haoming's heart swelled with infinite pride.
He wants to create the iron cavalry of the Han people, conquer the world, and regain the glory that belongs to the Han people!
Han Ride!
That's the ancestor of cavalry! The Tartars are far from it!
There are no more than 10,000 bullshit people, and more than 10,000 people can't be defeated. The 10,000 cavalry of the Blue Banner of Abatai had been salted in the storehouse by him with lime.
As Dong Changqing said: A dead Tartar is a good Tartar!
It was the head of the Tartar placed on the wooden shelf, even if the ugly money pigtail still hung down on the back of his head, Qin Haoming looked much more pleasing to the eye.
Beijing West Mountain, is a branch of Taihang Mountain, called "the head of Taihang Mountain", also known as Xiaoqing Liang Mountain.
Like a python, it guards the city of Beijing from the west. For this reason, it is called the "right arm of Shinkyo".
The Daming Xishan Military Camp is located here.
Tartar Koubian, the capital is under martial law.
Qin Haoming and the others were going to rest for one night this time, and rushed to the capital early the next morning to hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony at the noon gate.
For this sacrifice of prisoners, Lu Xiangsheng can be described as painstaking, except for deliberately choosing on the eve of the winter solstice.
The soldiers of the 500 Tianxiong Army who came with Qin Haoming are the elite of the elite.
All wore uniformly colored helmets, with red tassels on the top of the helmet, a collar on the back, and armor plates.
He wears armor with a vest-like body, a square collar, a placket, and no shawl on both shoulders.
The placket of the armor body is divided into two pieces on the left and right, and each is decorated with an iron gold-plated round goggles in the center of the chest.
The back placket is a whole piece, the upper center is placed in a round guard, and the lower part has a slit.
The front and back plackets are connected at the shoulders, and the seams are connected with tapes. It is made of thick stranded silk threads and lined with woven brocade.
The belt around the waist is made of yellow ribbon, and the middle of the belt is nailed with four gold-plated copper belt eyes.
There are three gilt copper round belt plates on each side, and there are square buckles under them, which can be used to hang bow bags, quivers, sabers and other weapons.
The horses were also chosen from the whole army, tall and handsome.
In a word, people are like gods and horses, all of them are in good spirits, and they participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony in the best condition.
You must know that the sacrifice of prisoners is a kind of military salute in the five rites of ancient China.
When the army went out to win the battle, in addition to paying tribute in the Taimiao, it was necessary to hold a solemn ceremony to present the prisoners to the emperor.
They also reported on the situation of the battle and asked for instructions on the disposition of prisoners of war, which was a major ceremony to promote the dignity of the country.
Lu Xiangsheng asked Qin Haoming and Qi Gang to enter Beijing as representatives, which was their cultivation. Otherwise, with their official positions, they would not have seen Emperor Chongzhen at all.
Not to mention anything else, even if Chongzhen is stingy, it is somewhat rewarding.
