Chapter 415: The thunder is loud and the rain is small
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the ministers of the court who were also full of reluctance and wanted to go home for the New Year came to the main hall, and the young officials had not yet written the book, and Emperor Chongzhen and the cabinet assistant and the military department Shangshu sang and let out a harmonious wind, saying that it was after the results of this morning's inspection came out.

Just give these soldiers and horses in Shandong a ceremony to dedicate victory, let them have a beautiful appearance in front of the world, and they must be carefully inspected before they can give the right to the ceremony.
This in itself is an extremely harsh request, but compared to the statements of the imperial court in the past, this is already a huge concession, and even those young people in the court who have the intention of being a direct minister are no longer silent.
No matter how reluctant the officials, fans, and servants of the military department, the criminal department, the Shuntian Mansion, the Jinyi Guard, and the Dongchang Yamen were in charge of the inspection, they were all taken out of their homes one by one by the bosses of each family, and even the south gate of the Jingshi was opened early because of them.
To say that the efficiency of the Ming court is not necessarily true, on the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, all those who have the right to maintain law and order in the capital division are deployed in various parts of the southern city of the capital division, preventing anyone who wants to go out of the city to see the excitement, they are forced to drive back, the original series of Lingshan Commercial Bank in the capital branch of those inside, also feel that the situation is wrong, quietly shrunk back.
The kind of statement in the court does not show that the court is ready to give them a ceremony to give them a victory, that is to say, for such a big victory, Emperor Chongzhen does not want to have any actions to promote the victory of the other party. Approaching the end of the year, it was already freezing weather, and the heads pulled by the cart were placed outside, and they didn't worry about any smells, rot and other things.
The soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion who came to report the victory were not left out in the cold, or angry at the nitpicking of the victory, they just quietly held the roster and cooperated with the officers to check it.
These soldiers of the Jiaozhou Battalion Dengzhou Army seem to be even less enthusiastic than the imperial court officials at the inspection level, and they are completely business-oriented.
And every cart was accompanied by soldiers sent by Shandong. It is impossible to fake, there are a large number of officials from each yamen, and the workload shared among everyone is not too large, not to mention that a lot was completed yesterday, and a group of officials who have been explained by the peak are thinking about how to find faults.
From early in the morning, officials from various yamen and localities communicated with each other. They all hid to the side to whisper, but as the inspection progressed, the military stop outside the south gate gradually quieted down.
Each of the officials had nothing to say, and they felt fear, a fear that gradually took over their bodies.
From the military department to the people sent out by Dongchang, they are all accustomed to seeing the role of life and death. Several judicial yamen have seen a scene that is ten thousand times more terrifying and disgusting. To say torture and torture. Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the world's first-rate means. The Jiaozhou battalion dealt with these levels of land. It's all about washing away the blood as much as possible. Then it is treated with lime and medicine to a certain extent. It doesn't look that scary.
It can be carried out along with the inspection. These are full of reluctance. I want to find fault. The officials who were angry with the soldiers and horses of Shandong gradually became afraid. More than 30,000 heads were loaded on more than 200 carts. What a massacre it was. Who are these levels? It was those Tartar soldiers who were feared by the Ming army like tigers and wolves. This ceased the ground superior. It doesn't mean that it was a horrific killing. And it represents the huge strength behind this killing.
Check it out. It's not tiring. It was also cold. But everyone was sweating gradually. It was a cold sweat. Everyone did not dare to look up. It always felt like there was a giant or a giant beast in the sky looking down on everything they were doing. If you do something wrong. I'm afraid I'm going to be crushed.
Out of a cold sweat. Everyone is feeling colder and colder. It's not because of cold sweat and cold wind, either. It's these carts of loot. Slowly, a murderous aura permeated.
How strong can Shandong's soldiers and horses be? What kind of strength does Shandong have? Everybody's thinking about it.
Today, the leader of the team is still a forester of the Ministry of War. He and a few other servants were also in front of one of the big cars. The forester Wailang deliberately slowed down the degree to check there.
This is also a means of leading the work, and when you finish it, almost the whole team will have completed the work. The status of the forester is higher. Think more clearly and farther than the officials around you.
If the country is to be stable, the authority and power of the central government must be subdued by the localities. Only in this way can we ensure that our orders can be issued smoothly, and that we can ensure that the local authorities are obedient and respectful, and this is the basis for the stability and existence of the country.
There are several consequences of this reversal, one of which is the split, the whole country is weakened, and if there is a strong enemy outside, it is not good that this strong enemy will take advantage of it. On the other hand, if the local government is strong enough to go far beyond the central government, the status of both sides will change, and the local government will become the central government.
The Tatars have been raging for so many years, the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly, how many loyal ministers and good generals have died in the battles inside and outside the pass, the most distressing thing is that the supervisor Hong Chengchou led the 130,000 Ming army out of the pass, and the whole army was wiped out in Songshan, and the Jurchens were invincible.
Looking at the booklet of Bao Jie, the Jurchen Eight Banners, the so-called True Tartars are almost eight thousand, and the Mongolian Eight Banners, which are the so-called two Tartars, which are almost this number, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the soldiers and horses of the Sanshun King, as well as the Mongolian skirmishers on the steppe, these are all strong enemies.
The current Ming army generals occasionally captured a few, more than a dozen ranks, regardless of his Jurchen, Mongolian, etc., directly according to the true Tartar to repay the merits, and when the army was at war, the Ming army had the same fear of these braided hairs.
Lin Yuan Wailang also remembered that the number of people who entered the customs in the previous times was not as large as this time, and even the number of Jurchen Eight Banners was not as good as this time, but it was the same as coming and going in the territory of Daming, breaking the army and killing generals.
There are so many people who came this time, and they must be much stronger than the previous times, but the Tartar army, which was so strong, was silently annihilated by the Shandong soldiers and horses in Hejian Mansion.
What is the concept of total annihilation, the rest of the Ming army's combat records, there has been no word "total annihilation" for a long time. This is the most difficult to fake the result, if you want to have a total annihilation record, how can you have ten times the enemy's troops, the Ming ten times more than the Manchu Tartars, but never win.
Then what kind of strength will this Shandong soldiers and horses have, and how can this Shandong afford such a large army. No matter how you compare, the Central Imperial Court and the Shandong region are already skewed in terms of strength, and it is really unknown what will happen in the future, and they are here to pursue the will of the above, desperately picking thorns, and what opinions do you have.
The military officials are more or less knowledgeable about military affairs, so the tens of thousands of troops on the military field have a greater psychological shock, making them feel more uncomfortable.
The forester raised his head with a pale face. Clearing my throat and stopping outside for the night, the smell is actually much lighter now. But the forester still felt a little disgusted, and he raised his voice and shouted:
"Everyone, have you ever checked the results?"
Lin Yuan Wailang could estimate that his colleagues in the military department might be similar to what he thought, but he was afraid that the other yamen would be serious, which would really bring a lot of trouble to his side.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his voice, the officials and servants of the various yamen in the entire armistice field all raised their heads one after another and replied loudly:
"Your Excellency. After the inspection is completed, it is consistent with the success list, which is true. ”
"Our side is also ......" "This side is also ...... like you"
The affirmative answer voice comes and goes, almost all of them have one thing in common, that is, the face is generally very ugly, and they all have some melancholy feelings in their hearts.
The forester took an excerpt. I found a wooden platform nearby, wrote the routine inspection results on the fold, and then stamped it with a copper seal, and wrote the results of the spot inspection with a pen, and then the leaders of the various yamen led the team signed on the fold.
The officials of the Ministry of War looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say, and the officials of the other yamen who had a lot of dealings with the outside also showed similar expressions, and this Shandong Soldiers and Horses Committee was really too strong.
The forester looked up at the sky and saw the position of the sun. It has been more than an hour since the inspection. But when I checked it carefully, I just felt that it was too long. I thought I had counted a few hours.
"When I was thirteen years old, I remember that Shandong reported victory, saying that a certain general led the army and the Tartars to fight fiercely in Qihe County, and killed more than 800 people, it seems to be this Li Meng!"
"That's right, this good news is still in my hands, when the report came, Yang Lao Pavilion was so angry that he jumped to his feet, no matter what, he didn't believe it was true, and the result was that the level of Liaozhen and the Ministry of War was jointly inspected, and there was no adulteration at all, this is the promotion of the general soldier, plus the rank of Governor of Zuodu."
"Tsk, it's really true, do you remember what happened to Zhang Ruoqi that time, the imperial court didn't give a penny of money......"
The forester of the military department was still listening carefully, but when he heard this, he turned around angrily, glared at the two directors of the military department and shouted viciously:
"This place has a lot of ears, you have so many words there, shut up for me!"
At present, the situation in the middle of the capital is quite delicate, and you can't cause trouble for yourself at this time.
These officials from all yamen, when they came to inspect the level this morning, they were all menacing, full of trouble, but now, everyone is depressed, and they are uneasy, looking at these heads on this military ground, as if they saw the unpredictable army of Shandong lined up here, the sword light is cold, the more uncomfortable they are, no matter how they will be hung by their bosses when they return to the capital, let's go now!
The general manager of the team leader did not have any polite or flattering expression on his face, not even a smile, he was completely cold, but he also felt a little strange, the attitude of these Beijing officials was like running away, what was going on.
The mood of the officers and soldiers of Dengzhou who came to deliver the victory level was anger and extreme anger at this time, because their team was originally selected by the upper peak to come to the Beijing division to report the victory, and they were considered by their companions to be a great advantage.
Will the imperial court give a rich reward, this soldier in Shandong is basically not very extravagant, these years have not been paid a single silver, in the daily training preaching, this matter will always be tirelessly mentioned by officers at all levels. The soldiers all knew that their local salaries, grains and crops were completely supported by Li Dashuai.
can make such a great achievement, come to the capital, you will definitely receive cheers and rewards from all sides, what is the purpose of being a soldier, it is very important to be for the glory of this victory.
But after coming, the soldiers of the Dengzhou military and ground appeared. Victory may not be cheered, at least they are treated as enemies in the Beijing Division, and they are so clearly classified and handled so well. But he was inspected over and over again, just like a suspected thief.
In Hejian Province, the brothers fought to the death with the Tartars, and this Qianzong, who always watched his battalion, and the soldiers around him, were shot to death by the Tartar bows and arrows that came by the assault. He fell beside him, but the brothers cut down these Tartars with the battle they had earned with their lives. would actually be treated with such suspicion, and the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion who sent all the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion to the rank were extremely angry in their hearts.
This is a complete insult, this is a great disrespect to those martyrs who died on the battlefield, these soldiers who sent the rank finally understood why someone told them before coming, no matter what you encounter in the Beijing Division, don't be angry and don't do it, your task this time is to send the rank. The reaction of the cold bystander Jingshi is.
Looking at the appearance of those officials of the Beijing Division hurriedly turning back to the Beijing Division, I don't know why, this leader always remembered the Tartar soldiers and horses who fled in embarrassment on the battlefield.
I also don't know why, but the general almost gritted his teeth and said this sentence in his heart: You can't run.
After these officials who went out of the city returned to the city in a panic, the various yamen had just begun to work normally, and the officials of the various yamen looked at the results reported by the officials below, and they were all crying and laughing, and then they were angry and angry, and they had been officials in Beijing for so many years. Don't you even know how to pick and choose the people below?
Don't you know what the results are going on......
At noon, these yamen officials got the news again, saying that they were already preparing to go to the court to write and report the results of the inspection to the emperor.
Since everyone knows this news, it must be that the entire Beijing division has spread it, and it is not unusual for the news to spread, the entire capital is like a sieve, and everything cannot be hidden, but everyone understands it. As soon as the news spread. It's hard to cheat.
In the evening, a decree was handed down in the palace. It is said that on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a ceremony was to be held at the military suspension ground outside the capital, and the emperor was ready to go.
When the city gate was not closed, a little eunuch came to the outside of the city, it is said that the emperor personally accepted the good news sent by the locality, and should be solemn and do a big job, but the attitude of Emperor Chongzhen is now known to everyone, and the people below will naturally not go to find this by themselves.
The little eunuch who was sent to the palace didn't have much time to go out of the palace, and he didn't understand what was going on inside and outside the capital at all, he originally planned to come to see the hero, but after hearing the emperor's attitude, the little eunuch also knew what to do.
When he went to this military ground, the little eunuch raised his nose to the sky, and said angrily:
"Tomorrow, the Holy Lord will come to the Imperial Pavilion to report the results, you have to prepare well!"
After saying that, he actually left, yes, he just said such a sentence, what should be arranged, what needs to be paid attention to, how to prepare, nothing was said.
If you are the one who knows how to do things, walk a few steps to this little eunuch now, stuff some silver taels, and say some polite and flattering words, maybe the other party will explain clearly with a smile on his face, and this matter will be done smoothly and smoothly. Of course, the reason why the Jiaozhou battalion chose these soldiers to send them to the rank is not to let them know what they know, but to let them meticulously follow the requirements of the Jiaozhou battalion.
Then again, the inner palace sent such a little eunuch to deliver the decree, this eunuch is so young, maybe he still followed the cabinet to learn the rules and read and write, the emperor accepted the local offering, it was an extremely important ceremony, all aspects, there are many rules, what can such a little eunuch know.
Don't say it's him, at present, even Jingshi himself has to do this. It is also necessary for the old eunuchs of the inner court and the officials of the Ministry of Rites to consult each other, otherwise it is also incomplete.
Sending this little eunuch here was originally with the idea of letting the Dengzhou army handle a bad thing......
The little eunuch who suddenly came over before dark gave a very brief report, which made the officers and soldiers of Dengzhou who came to send them to the rank extremely confused, and they didn't know how to do it at all.
They have no concept of such a thing as a loss of honor in front of the king. There is the idea of wanting to understand this matter as soon as possible, and then go back to Shandong, Jingshi is really a place that is too dark and miasma, they don't want to stay here for one more day, it is better to return to Shandong and enjoy the victory with their comrades.
Chinese New Year's Eve, there are indeed too many things to celebrate in the Chinese New Year's Eve of Chongzhen's fifteenth year, although in the southern area of Huguang River, the thieves are getting stronger, and the officers and soldiers are fleeing all the way. The situation is out of control, but after all, the army of the Tartars who entered the pass was completely annihilated, which is a great joy. This may not only mean victory, but also hope.
Many families began to set off firecrackers from the morning to worship their ancestors, and another thing to do was to go to the vicinity of the roads where the emperor went out of the city, it is said that the emperor wanted to go out of the city to see the sacrifice of the soldiers and horses of Shandong, who said that I don't know why it was tossed in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but after all, it was a celebration, and it was good to see the excitement.
However, soon, a large number of Jinyi guards and officials of Shuntianfu. The soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division began to guard Jing Street at various intersections, and it was said that such a happy event used to be seen by the people around to see the excitement, at most a few reprimands, but today, it is directly greeted with whips and spear shafts.
If you are a little disobedient, you will be beaten without a head or face, and the people of Beijing who are full of joy are all crying fathers and mothers who have been beaten, and they have no thoughts to see the excitement. Soon it will be dispersed.
When the people were almost driven away, the emperor's luan drove and followed the minister's chariots and horses, and the soldiers appeared in the streets, the number of people was quite small, that is, the scale of about 400 people, this day the patrol was extraordinary, and the scale of more than 1,000 people could be called shabby.
According to the emperor's statement to Wang Chengen, "This kind of scene is nothing more than to let the world know, I will return when I go, why waste such a big charter!?" The trusted eunuch Wang Chengen also replied respectfully:
"Your Majesty leads by example. Diligence and thrift for the country. It is a model in the world. ”
The listless Emperor Chongzhen and the eunuchs, ministers and guards who were also listless walked out of the south gate of the capital division slowly. Of course, except for Emperor Chongzhen, even if he was excited, he had to pretend to be listless.
In addition to the south gate, stationed outside the capital, the 12th Regiment Battalion sent 3,000 soldiers to act as escorts, and there were 400 Shandong soldiers escorting the cart, and the 400 people from the imperial court were lacking in safety.
The military field is three or four miles away from the south gate, and it is not a wilderness outside the capital, although several battles are burned to the foot of the capital, but there are still a large number of households, and there are also a large number of errands and soldiers who come to drive the people here, but the closer to this military field, the more quiet it is.
Emperor Chongzhen felt that the carriage had stopped, and it was unusually quiet outside, and he didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly heard the accompanying Jingying general shouting loudly:
"Son of Heaven Luanjia, don't you kneel down to greet you when you see it, and stand there straight, aren't you afraid of the crime of bullying the king?"
When I opened the curtain and looked out, I saw hundreds of soldiers standing in the direction of the team, square and imposing.
Suddenly, one of the hundreds of soldiers shouted:
"Your Majesty, General Zhendong and the General Soldier of Shandong, I hereby present to Your Majesty 36,421 Tartar captives, God bless Daming, long live Your Majesty!!"
"God bless the Ming, long live Your Majesty!!"
Such an unruly, extremely short shout was sonorous and powerful, and the last sentence was shouted by hundreds of people together, and for a while, Emperor Chongzhen and his party couldn't say anything. Emperor Chongzhen finally calmed down and looked at the rest of the military field, those heads had already been unloaded from the carriage, and they visited according to the Jingguandi model, that is, all the levels were facing outward, looking at these heads Jingguan Tower, the smell of nitrate lingered in his nose. Chongzhen felt as if he was a ghost at this time, his chest and throat were bored for a while, and his body was shaking...
I can be crossed tonight, and my mood is much more relaxed, thank you for your subscription and monthly pass, continue to ask for a monthly pass, thank you
