On February 7 of the second year of Hongguang, Ding Mao, it is appropriate to sacrifice

At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, play the filial piety mausoleum under Mount Everest, the flags stand in the wind, and the heavily armed Ruishi stand quietly on both sides of the Shinto, extending from the archway of the horse to the Minglou Square. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the square in front of the Ming Tower, Ren Siqi is leading the civil and military ministers to kneel three times and bow nine times to the tomb of Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. After the ceremony, Chen Zilong, who served as the salute officer, stood in front of him and looked at Ren Siqi who was saluting with an expressionless face.

The way to govern people, don't be in a hurry to be polite. There are five scriptures for rituals, and nothing is more important than sacrifices. Every year on New Year's Day, Qingming, Zhongyuan, Mengdong, and Winter Solstice, the imperial court will come to the Taizu Mausoleum to worship, which is the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. However, each sacrifice was ordered by the imperial court, and the emperor's relatives and noble ministers were sent to take the lead in the sacrificial ceremony. There has never been a court minister who privately brought troops to worship the filial piety, except for the usurpatory ancestor Zhu Di.

In his opinion, it is best to welcome Emperor Longwu back to Nanjing, and then the emperor himself will lead the ministers to worship, in order to announce the victory of recovering the old capital and reviving the Ming Dynasty. But when he saw Ren Siqi's fierce eyes, he couldn't say anything against it anymore. Isn't it just to pay a respect, the Chongming army rushed thousands of miles to capture Nanjing, restore the old capital of the Ming Dynasty, such a great achievement can be described as a shock to the past and the present, why not show off to Taizu?

After kneeling three times and bowing nine times, Ren Siqi stood up and personally read out the sacrifice:

"On February 7, the second year of Hongguang, Ding Mao, the governor of the left army, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Yue Guo, Ren Siqi, I would like to announce that the Ming Taizu opened the way of heaven and walked the way of Zhaoji, the great saint of the gods, benevolence, righteousness, martial arts, virtue, success, and the spirit of the high emperor said: Woohoo! The country's external troubles have been heard of in ancient times. Made at the end of the Zhao and Song dynasties, it was built in Mongolia, and Shenzhou was sunk for a hundred years.

My Emperor Gao should rise at the right time, clear the Middle Earth, the sun and the moon will be bright, the rivers and mountains will be rebuilt, the righteousness will be restored, and the future will be revealed. Unfortunately, Ji Shiyu was disturbed, the national strength was exhausted, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the chaotic ministers and thieves, all led the tiger to meet the wolf, and endangered China. Then the earth sank, and the Central Plains shook. The land of the court, between the provinces, is not restored. Because the alien race was able to entrench in the Lingxiu body, it was mixed with blood. The decline of the race is not far off.

Not Xiao Siqi, since Wei Liang Bo, willing to raise elite soldiers, except for heterogeneous, comfort my ancestors, now borrow the spirit of my emperor in the sky, silently care, soldiers with their lives, the people return to their hearts, go thousands of miles, and recover the divine capital. If you don't think about it, how dare you take credit. Since the intention of the emperor of the general, he commanded the soldiers, set the southeast, pointed to the north, drove out the Manchurian aliens, returned my Shenzhou, comforted the spirit of the emperor in the sky, and relieved the urgency of the people. Dare to sue!

”

Listening to Ren Siqi's impassioned words, Chen Zilong only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and only himself and Chongming Jun were mentioned in the whole text, and there was not a single word mentioning Lu Jianguo and the Longwu Imperial Court, and the heart of disobedience was clearly revealed! But when this grand memorial is held, in the face of Ren Siqi, who has made a great contribution to the sky, how can the words of reprimand be spoken?

After the memorial was read, Ren Siqi knelt down again and led the civil and military ministers to salute the Taizu Mausoleum.

"Bring the rebel minister Hong Chengchou!" After the ceremony, Chen Zilong continued his duties with an expressionless face.

Hong Chengchou, who was wearing prison clothes and shackles, walked up hobbled up under the push of two internal security soldiers, and the white money rattail on his bare head was so ugly.

"Hong Chengchou, what do you have to say in the face of Taizu's mausoleum?" Chen Zilong asked coldly.

Looking at the towering Ming Tower, the corners of Hong Chengchou's mouth twitched, and he slowly knelt down. Once upon a time, when he was still the superintendent of the Ming Dynasty, his greatest wish was to exterminate the Liukou, eliminate the Manchurians, make a victory in front of the Taizu Spirit, and establish a great reputation that will be passed down through the ages.

But now, he has become a disobedient person, a sinner who has committed treason to the country, and a traitor who everyone spithens on. It's really unwilling!!

"Hahaha......" Hong Chengchou suddenly stood up and looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "The world is swinging, the rivers and mountains are changing, good birds choose trees, good ministers choose masters, Manchuria Eight Banners, the world is unbeatable, and the world is unified, just around the corner."

Although I, Hong Chengchou, am disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, in order to liberate the common people in the world as soon as possible, and to end this troubled world as soon as possible, I took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what is wrong?

Siqi children, the generation of jumping beams, taking advantage of the emptiness of my Nanjing, won a battle by luck, and waited for my Eight Banners army to come south, waiting for the jumping beams, all of them were fish and turtles. ”

Crazy, really crazy, all the civil and military forces present looked at Hong Chengchou in shock.

"It is disloyal to surrender to the Tartars as a minister;

It is unkind to drive the green battalion soldiers to brutalize and suppress the people;

It is an injustice to kill dozens of former colleagues;

It is rude to roar in front of the mausoleum of Taizu!

What is the face of a disloyal, unrighteous, and rude person like you to live in the world? ”

Looking at Hong Chengchou, who was laughing wildly, Chen Zilong was furious, pointed at him and scolded.

"Why do you have to say much about a traitor like him, just be executed by law." Ren Siqi said lightly.

"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou is a Ming minister, but he surrendered to the Tartars, and conspired against him, and he should be executed by Ling Chi for the crime and exterminate the three clans!" Song Liben, director of the Department of Pacification, loudly announced Hong Chengchou's charges.

"Hahaha, that's how it should be for such rebellious ministers and thieves." Chen Zilong looked up to the sky and laughed, but his eyes looked at Ren Siqi intentionally or unintentionally.

Hong Chengchou's fate was thus decided, and the accusations of sinners through the ages will be nailed to him forever. Three days later, he will be executed at the entrance of the vegetable market, and he will be subjected to the cruel criminal law of thousands of cuts, and he will be punished and scolded by millions of Nanjing people.

In addition to the capital punishment for Hong Chengchou's crime of rebellion, Ren Siqi did not carry out too many killings. In fact, he didn't need to kill again, and in the night of turmoil in the city, all the Eight Banners soldiers and their families were slaughtered by the riotous Green Battalion soldiers. Hundreds of Green Battalion soldiers came to surrender with full heads and receive the silver that Ren Siqi had promised.

For the promise, Ren Si fully confessed the account, and happily sent someone to accept the head, and issued the reward in full. The Chongming army that occupied Nanjing captured too many of them, and the silver taels in the Nanjing treasury alone were hundreds of thousands.

Since these Green Battalion soldiers killed the Eight Banners and their families, it means that they will never be able to turn back, and they can only follow themselves with all their hearts. However, in order to prevent chaos, Ren Siqi still decided to disrupt them and integrate them into various armies. As for the generals such as Bu Congshan and Liu Zeyong who surrendered, Ren Siqi still has to use them, but now they can't be allowed to lead the troops directly, and they will be raised as senior officials first and then in their posts, and they will be placed in the staff department as staff officers.

By the way, there is also the staff of the traitor's Hong Chengchou, Zhao Xingfang, who is not easy to deal with Ren Siqi. He made a great contribution to capturing Hong Chengchou alive, and gave him the position of guerrilla general according to the previous reward needs, but for such a traitor who betrayed his master and sought glory, Ren Siqi instinctively rejected it in his heart. Fortunately, Zhao Xingfang was very knowledgeable and did not ask for the previous reward. Then send him to the logistics department first to stay and get an idle position.
