Chapter 42: The First Nine Sides

Although Zhu Changyuan doesn't know too much about ancient times, he still has a little research on the seven articles in "Mencius", such as what Huang Daozhou said just now, he has read it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, it was King Xuan of Qi who summoned Mencius and asked him, "Shang Tang exiled Xia Wei, and King Wu crusaded against Shang Xuan, are these things true?"

Mencius replied, "It is indeed recorded in the literature. ”

After King Qi Xuan's pit was dug, he then threw out a very difficult question: "Shang Tang is Xia Wei's courtier, and King Wu of Zhou is also a courtier of King Xuan, is it okay for a courtier to kill his monarch?"

Mencius must have gritted his teeth at that time and said: "The benevolent thief is called a thief, and the righteous thief is called a cripple; The thief is called a husband. I heard that a husband was punished, but I didn't hear of killing a king. ”

Translated into the vernacular, that is: "The kings of Xia Wei and Shang are all kings of no way, and for the people, they are just a **** and not a monarch, the monarch cannot be killed, but the **** can be killed!" ”

Now Huang Daozhou said this to Zhu Changyuan, not only saying that Zhu Changyuan has no way, but also comparable to Xia Wei and the king of Shang!

How can Zhu Changyuan not be angry, but he is an adult, and he can't kill a courtier in a fit of anger, and he is a great Confucian like Huang Daozhou. And Zhu Changyuan is a traverser, looking at the previous people with the eyes of later generations, it feels a little different.

For example, he knew that after the fall of the Ming Dynasty in history, this Huang Daozhou led his own old, weak, sick and disabled to resolutely go on a northern expedition, and did his last part with the Qing Dynasty, and finally died heroically. Before the righteousness, he also wrote a poem: The outline is eternal, the righteousness is thousands, the heaven and the earth know me, and the family is worry-free!

Zhu Changyuan respected his integrity very much, so after his face darkened for more than ten seconds, he slowly turned to ease, laughed weakly, and said to Huang Daozhou: "You old horseman, I almost killed you so angrily." ”

Huang Daozhou You didn't know it, and said: "If Your Majesty kills the minister, the minister will have no regrets or complaints." As the saying goes, heaven and earth are not kind, I will take righteousness! ”

I'll go! If the world is unkind, doesn't it mean that I am not benevolent? The point is that no matter how much Lao Tzu says that he also has the grace of knowing you, why is he so kind of swords-and-cannons to me?

I thought about it for a while. Zhu Changyuan felt that his ascension to the throne should be too sudden, and some of the former ministers thought that they had usurped the position of Chongzhen's great son, I am afraid that in their eyes, he and Cao Cao should be about the same!

"Whew!" Zhu Changyuan exhaled deeply, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. waved his hand towards Huang Daozhou: "Lord Huang, don't take righteousness, as a Confucius and Mencius, it is your responsibility to do the work of education, so let's do it, since you are not willing to accept my education method, then I will let you follow your own education." ”

Zhu Changyuan stood up from the dragon chair, pointed to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, pointed to Huang Daozhou and said: "Lord Hong went to Taiwan with the aim of expanding our country's territory and conquering its land. The work of education depends on Lord Huang, I don't know if Lord Huang is willing? ”

This is to send Huang Daozhou from Beijing to Taiwan.

Although Huang Daozhou had a bad temper, he was still well-known at that time, and said: "The minister's order!" ”

Zhu Changyuan nodded, and secretly said Fortunately, this thing knows how to advance and retreat, if he is given a step and does not go down, he will only need to use a big stick to spank him.

"Okay, in this way, add the Ministry of Education Zuo Shilang, and use Zuo Shilang to regard Taiwan's education. Don't be disappointed! ”

March, spring! The willows sprouted, and the temperature gradually rose.

Even in the land of Jingshi in the north, it is gradually covered with a layer of green.

Zhu Changyuan silently looked at the bright sky. Lie in the sun and think to yourself.

In the spring of Chongzhen's eleventh year, he traveled to this world for the first time, and now it is the spring of the first year of Daming Taizheng, and it has been four years, and there are still six years before he completes the final task assigned by the system.

Everything is going on steadily. If the land reform and railway construction of the Ming Dynasty are completed according to his plan, the task should be completed.

But now there was another thing that gave him a huge headache. It was the celestial phenomenon caused by the completion of the mission in the town of Sun Moon Island.

Because I don't know and don't understand, I feel an inexplicable panic.

Zhu Changyuan doesn't know what the next time he completes the task again, what will be the situation, it will be difficult to have a vision, and it will lead to a big tsunami disaster?

Zhu Changyuan does not know.

Cao Huachun walked in from outside the palace, walked to Zhu Changyuan's side, bowed and saluted, and then said, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Changyuan nodded and motioned for him to sit down.

In the past, Cao Huachun's health was not good, and people in their fifties were as old as sixty or seventy. Now, after staying in Zhu Changyuan's sanatorium and hospital for a period of time, his body is slowly improving, and his complexion is even better than when Zhu Changyuan first saw him!

"Look at your pleasure, what's the good thing?" Zhu Changyuan asked.

"Great joy!" Cao Huachun smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "There is news from Liaodong, and the chief soldier Qin Lin has caught a person!" ”

"Who?"

"Wu Sangui!"

"Okay, this old boy, finally got it!" Zhu Changyuan clapped his hands, extremely happy.

Before the Ming Dynasty died, Wu Sangui dedicated the Manchu Qing Tartars and got the title of King of Pingxi.

Later, he found out that Zhu Changyuan was not dead, he didn't even believe the Qing soldiers, he put on makeup and fled overnight, and he didn't say hello to Dolgon.

This is also the biggest reason why the Manchus surrendered to Zhu Changyuan but did not sacrifice Wu Sangui.

But now it's a good thing, Wu Sangui was caught by Qin Lin.

"General Qin asks Your Majesty, is it to be taken care of on the spot or escorted to Beijing?" Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Changyuan and asked.

Zhu Changyuan thought for a while, smiled hehe, and said: "****, I don't want to see him, let Qin Lin kill him on the spot, cut off his head and pass on the first nine sides, starting from Liaodong Town and going all the way to Gansu Town in the west!" ”

A long, long time ago, Zhu Changyuan was still a small boss, and when Liaodong had nowhere to go, he made a big vow to Ning Yuancheng to pass on Wu Sangui to the first nine sides.

Now, that wish has come true.

Cao Huachun paused slightly, he didn't expect Zhu Changyuan to order so decisively, and he didn't even need to interrogate.

"It will be punished for treason, and the three clans will be punished!" Zhu Changyuan made up for it viciously.

Cao Huachun received the order, and then went out to pass the word to Qin Lin.

But his heart is like turning over the river and the sea, what is going on? This master usually doesn't have a fight at all, but you can't offend him, and the end of offending him is Wu Sangui.

Hey, that doesn't seem right!

Cao Huachun recalled carefully and found that he was more and more unable to understand Zhu Changyuan's train of thought.

Wu Sangui had participated in the murder of him, but why did that Huang Daozhou get promoted and retreat after scolding the emperor a few mornings ago, and won a good reputation?

What does this emperor think?

Cao Huachun couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it, honestly walked to a dark room, took out his mobile phone and called Qin Lin, and told Qin Lin what Zhu Changyuan said!

Such a trivial matter does not require a holy decree!

Jiubian, also known as Jiuzhen, is the nine important military towns set up along the Great Wall defense line on the northern border during the Hongzhi period, namely Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town (also known as Shanxi Town or Sanguan Town), Yansui Town (also known as Yulin Town), Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town (also known as Shaanxi Town), Gansu Town.

After the establishment of the nine sides, to the first year of Zhu Changyuan's Taizheng, it has been extended for nearly 150 years, in this 150 years, all of them have been baptized by war, witnessing the rise and fall of the entire Ming Dynasty.

In the end, it was Wu Sangui's biography that came to an end.

After Qin Lin cut off Wu Sangui's head, according to Zhu Changyuan's will, his head was teleported from Liaodong Town to Jizhou Town, from Jizhou Town to Xuanfu, and then to Datong, Taiyuan, Yulin, Ningxia, Guyuan and Gansu.

After arriving in Gansu, the skull was already too stinky to smell, and the local general soldiers buried the head in the desert, which was four or five thousand miles away from the place where Wu Sangui's torso was buried.

At the same time that Wu Sangui was passing on the first nine sides, Zhu Changyuan and Kong He were doing another epoch-making military reform: the division of military regions.

Zhu Changyuan suggested that six of the nine borders be abolished, and only the three important military towns of Gansu, Liaodong, and Xuanfu should be retained. It was renamed the Gansu Military Region, the Liaodong Military Region and the Xuanfu Military Region.

Each military region has a chief military officer, and the rest of the military towns are the same as those in the Ming Dynasty, the only difference is that these border military towns not only guard the frontier, but also shoulder the task of reclaiming land and reclaiming wasteland.

"The Gansu Military Region has 100,000 troops to defend the northwest frontier and prevent those barbarians from causing chaos! Its military expenses are paid by the imperial court, and all officers are only in charge of military affairs, and it is strictly forbidden to interfere in local government affairs! ”

"The Liaodong Military Region has 50,000 garrisons, and its military expenditure is self-sufficient, and in addition to defending the border, it is necessary to undertake the construction task of the northeast region!"

Zhu Changyuan gave different orders to different military regions according to local conditions.

The ethnic minorities facing Gansu are not only Mongolians, but also Uygurs, Tibetans, and Hui, whose relations are complex and prone to war. But the Tartars of Liaodong have now been destroyed by Zhu Changyuan, and there are hardly too many military tasks, so naturally let them shoulder the heavy responsibility of construction and reclamation.

"As for the Xuanfu on the back of the Beijing Division, because of the Gong guarding the Beijing Division, there are not many soldiers but they are fine, and there can be 30,000 garrisons, equipped with the most advanced and new weapons, and equipped with fuel and machinery, and two planes are given for cruise monitoring to protect the safety of the Beijing Division at any time!"

It was actually quite simple to deal with the Mongols, and there was no need to make so many deployments.

The reason why Zhu Changyuan still retains the three major military regions in the north is, on the one hand, to threaten Mongolia, but more importantly, to point the finger at Lao Maozi Russia.

The steppe wolves in the north have changed one after another, from Donghu to Xiongnu, from Xiongnu to Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic, Khitan, Mongolian and Manchu Tatars, but they are all wolves.

And once Russia crosses Siberia and forms a threat to our Greater China, it will become an invulnerable northern bear.

When a wolf bites a person, it can still break one of its legs, and the price paid to drive the bear away is undoubtedly greater. (To be continued.) )
