Chapter 219: The Journey of Juyong
Today's Emperor Chongzhen, although he is not particularly satisfied with Hari Zhula's Han name Hai Lanzhu, but now Hari Zhula, who has become Emperor Chongzhen's concubine, is very satisfied with his Han name as if he was destined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the night of Hai Lanzhu's entry into the palace, Emperor Chongzhen was busy with the government affairs at hand, and after having dinner with Empress Zhou, he was driven to Chuxiu Palace by the virtuous and sensible Empress Zhou.
Although he felt a little embarrassed, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and went. After all, on the first night when Nahai Lanzhu was a concubine, if she didn't show up, it would have no impact on herself, but it would cause some trouble to Hai Lanzhu's status in the palace in the future, and even to the relationship between the two in the future.
So that night, Emperor Chongzhen still went to Chuxiu Palace to stay overnight. It was indeed a little embarrassing at first, after all, Cao Wenzhao, Niu Juming and others had only led the Ming army in Rehebao a month earlier, and they had burned and looted in the rear of Horqin on the left flank.
is the woman in front of her, who was also robbed by Cao Wenzhao, Niu Juming and others, even if she and she are not enemies, but at least they are not friends.
But after Emperor Chongzhen unveiled the big red hijab that had been covering Hai Lanzhu's head, this little embarrassment disappeared immediately.
Hai Lanzhu's face is not like a silver plate like an ordinary Mongolian woman, on the contrary, it has some characteristics of mixed Eurasian blood, the complexion is fairer and delicate, the eyebrows, eye sockets, nose bridge, and lips are more three-dimensional compared with ordinary Mongolian women and even Han women, coupled with chestnut hair, watery eyes and plump and erect upper circumference, which makes Emperor Chongzhen, who is accustomed to seeing the paper beauties in the palace, excited.
Emperor Chongzhen only asked one sentence: "Hai Lanzhu, today I accept you as a concubine, are you really willing in your heart?" ”
Hai Lanzhu only replied with one sentence: "Your Majesty is the son of the great tomorrow, and I wish Hai Lanzhu, a woman outside Nasai, a concubine, is a blessing for Hai Lanzhu, and the concubine is willing!" ”
Having said that, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't need to think about it anymore and ask more, no matter what Hai Lanzhu thinks in her heart, if she swears not to agree, Cao Wenzhao, Niu Juming and others will not be able to bring her back unscathed, even if she brings it back unscathed, if she does not agree, it is impossible to enter the palace so smoothly and become his concubine.
Emperor Chongzhen also thought about whether this Hai Lanzhu would take this opportunity to assassinate himself to avenge his father's subordinates or something, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was too worried.
Since the time of Genghis Khan, the custom of snatching marriage has prevailed in the Mongolian steppe, even if a woman is dressed to be married, if she is robbed on the way, if the party who was originally married does not have the strength to grab it back, the other parties can only accept their fate.
Because women, as important to them as they are, are still only an important possession.
Genghis Khan's own wife Bortier was robbed by his enemy, and when Genghis Khan borrowed troops and snatched her back, Bortier was already several months pregnant, but Genghis Khan did not blame the woman in addition to blaming himself, but let him give birth to the enemy's child and raise it.
Because he believed that it was not Poltier's fault that he was snatched away, and Boltier himself did not think it was his fault.
This is completely different from the so-called women's way that Han women have always been educated. And this is also the reason why Hai Lanzhu can calmly accept her fate.
When Hai Lanzhu was married into the palace, although she was covered with a red hijab, on the way to kneel together, she still peeked at the appearance of the great tomorrow, that is, the man she was going to marry.
The eighteen-year-old Chongzhen Emperor is dignified and courteous, not how handsome and handsome he is, but at least he is above the Chinese, and he is dressed in the emperor's robe crown, which looks both heroic and polite, and compared with the stinking rough men on the grassland, it is certainly easier to get the hearts of women of the same age.
This is true regardless of the nationality. The same is certainly true of Hai Lanzhu.
Because it was really difficult for her to find a Taiji or Baylor of the same age on the grassland to marry.
In her mind, if she stayed in Horqin, even if it was successfully sent to a tribal leader, most of the other party would be a man of the same age as her father Zhaisang. Because only in this way the leader of the tribe in a high position is the one who has the right to Korqin.
Therefore, she didn't have much resistance to being able to marry the young son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, Emperor Chongzhen, who has been ready to move since seeing Hai Lanzhu's face and body, did not say anything more to Hai Lanzhu, and personally changed her clothes at the moment, and then used the means of the future, and soon performed the gift of husband and wife.
After all, both of them are young, and with a little provocation, they are hearty and happy all night.
Now this Emperor Chongzhen is not the emperor in history who only reads sage books as long as he has time, hoping to find the truth of governing the country from the four books and five classics.
In his opinion, if you want to cure the country, you must first cure the harem, and if you want to cure the harem, you must first serve the heart of the harem.
However, if you want to accept a woman's heart, the simplest and most direct way is to accept a woman's body. This principle is especially useful in ancient times when we paid attention to the three outlines and five constants, and the three obediences and four virtues.
In fact, it is true, after having a night of fun, the two people who were not familiar with each other, and only said a word to each other until they went to bed and pushed down, soon became speechless.
Although Hai Lanzhu knows some Han etiquette rules, after all, she knows the etiquette rules of ordinary Han people, and she doesn't know much about the rules of the emperor's family, so she doesn't have so many troubles as the queen, Concubine Li, Concubine Jing and other concubines.
This time, Emperor Chongzhen took the opportunity of Emperor Tianqi's burial in Deling to go to Juyongguan, thirty miles west of Changping, to inspect the defense of western Beijing, and of course he had a certain relationship with Hai Lanzhu.
Hai Lanzhu followed Niu Juming and others, entered the customs from Gubeikou, passed through Miyun and Shunyi, and entered Jingshi all the way, during which he was deeply impressed by the Great Wall Pass in Xuanfu Town, north of Jingshi, especially the Xiongguan Fortress in Gubeikou.
After entering the palace, during the time spent with the emperor, he talked about the Xiongguan fortress on the Great Wall several times, and was always amazed and praised.
It is this that made Emperor Chongzhen pay attention to the dangerous fortresses around Jingshi again, and this time the focus is precisely on several important passes on the Great Wall in western Beijing, the first of which is, of course, Juyong Pass.
Juyong Pass and Shanhaiguan echo each other, one is located on the west side of the Beijing Division, and the other is located on the east side of the Beijing Division, which are important barriers to the safety of the two wings of the Ming Dynasty.
Before Wanli, the Liao affair did not start, and the major affairs of the imperial court have always been to prevent Mongolia, and the strategic position of Juyongguan was much higher than that of Shanhaiguan.
However, after Wanli, especially in the late Wanli period, the decline of the Warat Mongolia and the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchen Department, the military strategic position of Shanhaiguan was highlighted, and in the period of Tianqi and Chongzhen, a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources were invested in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
The status of the world's first Xiongguan enjoyed by Juyongguan before also gave way to Shanhaiguan. Shanhai Town was set up in Shanhaiguan, Liaodong Town was set up outside the Guan, and Jizhou Town was also set up in the Guan, but at the same time, Juyong Pass lost its original status, and only guarded by the left guards of Jingxi.
As a result, Emperor Chongzhen first defended the east, but not the north, which led to the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led the army of Jianyu to break through the border from Jizhen Xifengkou and other places, and plundered the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi.
After this time, Emperor Chongzhen realized the slack and loopholes in the Xuanfu and Jizhen Great Wall barriers, and began to make up for them. As a result, the east and north sides were finally guarded, but not the west.
Because the final fall of the Ming Dynasty came from the direction of Juyong Pass, in the spring of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng led a large army to cross the Yellow River from Shanxi and enter Beijing.
Li Zicheng's army was Gyeonggi, which entered from Juyong. At that time, the Juyong Pass was in ruins, the garrison was lax, the generals had no fighting spirit, and the eunuch Du Xun, who was sent by Emperor Chongzhen to supervise the war, surrendered to Li Zicheng's forward general Liu Zongmin as soon as he arrived.
As soon as Li Zicheng's army arrived, the city was besieged for only a few days, and Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who was ordered to lead troops to defend the city, and Li Guozhen, the commander of the army, and Cao Huachun, the governor and eunuch, opened the door and surrendered to Li Zicheng.
Then Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty perished.
Since coming to this era, now the Chongzhen Emperor has always spent his energy on rectifying internal affairs and guarding against Jianyu, for the Ming Dynasty's strategic layout in Liaodong and Saibei, he has made great efforts, but for the defense of western Beijing is really a little neglected.
Although this direction is now like the bandits and rebels in northern Shaanxi, and there is still a Shanxi province, if we do not pay close attention to the defense in this direction now, it is difficult to guarantee that the thieves will not cross the Yellow River into Shanxi and then threaten Gyeonggi from this direction.
In particular, it is difficult to guarantee that one day Jianyu will also make a detour in the direction of Datong to attack Gyeonggi, because in history, after Huang Taiji and Jianyu finally defeated Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department, there was indeed such a thing as breaking through the border from Datong.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen in history, Huang Taiji, who had just changed the name of the emperor and named the country to the Qing Dynasty, sent a large army to invade the Ming Dynasty for the third time. It was this time that Deling was burned down by the prisoners who had entered the prison.
