Chapter 391: The Jade Seal Ceremony, Joy and Sorrow (1)
I'm sorry, I drank too much, I was late to update, but the bayberry wine is sour but also intoxicating.
Note: The Eight Banners of the Jin Army and Han Dynasty initially had only two flags, and then expanded to eight banners. In the text, for the convenience of narration, the Han army flag was expanded in advance
Xuanfu, the imperial court agreed to Ma Shiying's opening of the border, but asked the Dongyu to be a minister in the official document, and if he was not a minister, he would not open the border. After Ma Shiying informed Fan Wencheng of this request, Fan Wencheng immediately reported it to Mrs. Hong.
Hong Tai laughed when he heard the report, and said to the ministers of Baylor: "Chongzhen idiot, how stupid, don't say that it is to let Ben Khan respect you as the Heavenly Empire, even if you are called the Jade Emperor, why not?" But this minister Ben Khan can't be called in vain, since he is already a minister, he should enjoy equal treatment with Lin Dan Khan. Didn't Chongzhen give 400,000 taels of silver to Lin Dan Khan every year, and now this silver should also be rewarded to us! In the name of the Lalaqin Ministry, he asked the Ming Kingdom for silver taels. Moreover, nearly 10,000 people in the Chahar tribe have fled to the mouth, and these people must be returned to us. ”
"The king of Khan is wise, he is a minister but a vain festival, he is a minister today, and he can be a king tomorrow, as long as he can get enough benefits for our Dajin, his false name is not worth competing."
Fan Wencheng was also worried that Mrs. Hong would not be a minister, but seeing that Mrs. Hong was so open-minded, he firmly believed that the destiny of heaven was in gold. After he informed Ma Shiying of these requirements, Ma Shiying argued with reason, and after several twists and turns, he finally allocated a reward of 200,000 taels of silver to Lalaqin Mongolia, and returned 3,000 young and strong people who fled into Inner Mongolia.
On October 16, Fan Wencheng, Xifu, and Kurtang swore an oath with Ma Shiying and Dong Jishu to build an altar outside Zhangjiakou City, and on the same day, they opened a horse market outside Zhangjiakou.
On the day of the opening of the market, the Eight Banners Army retreated for 30 miles, and the merchants of the Han people came with goods under the organization of the government, and the horse market was orderly and very lively. All the Jurchens who participated in the horse market set their eyes on Jiangnan silk, and in half a day, more than 10,000 Su silk horses were sold out. The boss was stunned and transferred another 10,000 horses from his mouth, but they were sold out again.
Shortly after his newlywed, Beiyu Samuktu, who had made meritorious contributions in Zunhua City, bought half a horse of silk for his wife, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. In the past, as a trophy, Su silk like this would never be in his name. The women of the banner people are all proud to have a silk cheongsam, which is a dream of theirs, and now, Samuktu has fulfilled this dream for his wife.
Ma Shiying saw that the opening of the border was successful, and the Jin army would not attack Zhangjiakou again, and secretly rejoiced that the people were at peace, the soldiers avoided a bloodshed, and several of their senior officers also kept the black yarn hat. But where did he know that more than 100 sentinels such as Ye Muji, Deldhe, and others sent by Hong Tai were active in the passes of the Great Wall in the Datong area of Xuanfu, and they had a clear understanding of the defense situation of the Great Wall for hundreds of miles.
This time to go to Zhangjiakou, the Eight Banners Army almost did not fight, but the harvest was great, Hong Tai and the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners Baylor ministers were overjoyed, deeply satisfied, and the hostility towards the Ming Dynasty was actually diluted a little
On October 20th, the happy event came in pairs, the Queen Mother of Chahar arrived in Guihua City, and Ezhe also had a whereabouts, Hong Taizhi knew that the jade seal was already in the bag, but when the news of Ezhe's sacrifice of the jade seal really came, he still couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. At that time, they were discussing with Jierharang and them about further trade with the Xuanfu of the Ming Dynasty, and when they heard the news, they couldn't help but excitedly walked down from the sweat seat, and knelt down in the direction of the tomb of the first Khan of Tianzhu Mountain, Nurhachi: "Father Khan, the jade seal is returned to gold, Chahar has been returned, and Monan Mongolia has been unified!" ”
The Minister of the Eight Banners Baylor also burst into cheers for the first time: "Long live the King Khan!" Long live the Khan! ”
This "Long live the Khan" is indeed the heartfelt cry of Zhubeile, and even the Derge class sincerely called out this "Long live the Khan".
Seeing this, Fan Wencheng knew that the time was ripe, so he led the Bakshi and all the Han officials of the Wenguan to kneel and play: "King Khan, the jade seal is the treasure of the imperial court of the Central Plains in the past dynasties, and it is a symbol of the king of the world. In the past, the five tiger generals Hu Erhan led his troops to the east, which was blocked by the surging water of the Heilongjiang River. On the eve of the Battle of Sarhu, the purple air of Niyama Mountain lingered, and under the ancient elm tree, hundreds of birds and phoenixes were in the morning; Conquer Har, and send a yellow sheep from the sky in a desperate situation. There are all kinds of signs that the Khan of our Dajin Kingdom loves the people in accordance with the heavens, is blessed by God, and has the help of God and man. Heaven does not take it, but suffers the blame, please the Khan to accept the will of heaven, obey the will of the people, ascend to the throne, and settle the Central Plains as soon as possible. ”
The sudden persuasion of the Hanchen caught Zilharang and the others off guard, but they also knelt on the ground together, and at the same time persuaded them: "Please King Khan ascend to the throne." ”
Hong Tai was happy in his heart, but he insisted on his words: "Although the jade seal has been returned to gold, but Ben Khan, as the king of Khan, has failed to cultivate his virtues, failed to support the people, and the country has not been governed. ”
Fan Wencheng pleaded again: "Heaven gives the jade seal in gold, this is the Rui who has been unified for thousands of years, please don't go against the will of heaven." ”
Hong Tai and Fan Wencheng had already discussed it in advance, and the matter of calling the emperor would be carried out after returning to Shenyang with the jade seal, and this time Hanchen's persuasion was just to test the reaction of the Baylor ministers, but seeing that the Baylor ministers had no objections, they were happy, so they said: "Changing the Yuan to the emperor is a big deal, and it is not something that can be decided in one sentence or two sentences, and it must be discussed in the long run, so let's get up first." ”
Seeing that Hong Tai's tone was softened, it was inconvenient to insist any longer, and seeing Fan Wencheng waiting for Hanchen to stand up, he had no choice but to stand up.
After everyone got up, Hong Tai glanced at the fourteenth brother Duoyi and called him: "Duoduo." ”
"Brother is here." Duoyi hurriedly stood up.
Hong Tai smiled at him, and then instructed him: "You go to the Dolgon army quickly, and order them to go straight to the Yangmu Stone River, first, to assist Darhan and Wakda to complete the demarcation of the border, and second, to let Sakhalian prepare for the celebration of the return of the jade seal to gold here." And in the name of Ben Khan, the three tribes of Northern Mongolia came to participate, remembering, to stamp the jade seal. ”
Duoyi responded loudly, and Hong Tai called the minister Ang Kun Du and instructed him: "You immediately inform the Mongol tribes and order them to meet at Yangmu Shihe on November 10, when Ben Khan will go in person and hold a ceremony for the return of the jade seal to gold." Ben Khan wants everyone in the world to know that the jade seal of the Dao has been returned to gold, and the Mongolian Dajin has become a unified party. ”
On the 24th of October, he took Zhezhe, Hailanzhu, Bumubutai, and Toya and other four Mongol Fujin, and ordered all the Beyler Bezi to bring their own Mongol Fujin to Zhaowuda.
When I set off, it happened to be an autumn rain just yesterday, and the official road was clean and refreshing. Hong Tai's mood suddenly brightened, and he ordered: "Chuan Ben Khan ordered that it is strictly forbidden to trample on the crops during the march, and those who violate the order will be severely punished according to the regulations of the first Khan." ”
After giving the order, he raised his whip and pointed to the field, and said with emotion: "After Mr. Wen Cheng entered the gold, he repeatedly told the first Khan and Ben Khan about the importance of farming, and personally went to various tows to promote the farming methods of the Central Plains. ”
Fan Wencheng dared to take credit, and said modestly: "Being a minister is just carrying out the will of the Khan." The minister heard that when the young man of the Khan was in charge of the housekeeping, he had already implemented the practice of counting the fields by ding. By the way, I slapped Hong Tai's ass again.
A sentence evoked Hong Tai's memories of the past, and he remembered the scene when Erdeni taught him the book "Mencius" under the lamp, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, 'A house of five acres, a tree is mulberry, and fifty can be clothed.'" Chickens, guineas, dogs, and animals, if there is no time, the seventy can eat meat. 100 acres of land, don't take it away, a family of eight can be hungry. Mencius talked about the people's livelihood, which is very reasonable, the people are the foundation of the world, and the rule of the world should talk about benevolence. Officials are the parents of the people's survival, and the people are the parents' food and clothing of the officials. But after all, Mencius had never been in politics, he had never been the king of a country, so he could not look at the problem from the perspective of a monarch. The prestige of the world mainly depends on the benefits of soldiers, not just the Tao. Therefore, Ben Khan advocated that the world should be dominated by the benefits of soldiers, and benevolence should be the first priority to govern the world. ”
"The Khan King is a true saint!"
Fan Wencheng and other Han officials admired Hong Tai's emotion very much, and said in unison: "The ministers are respectfully taught. ”
Hong Tai sighed, and said with some regret: "The scholar Erdeni is the creator of my Dajin script, and he was killed for just a few trivial things, and the punishment was excessive, his eldest son Shaharen is twenty this year, right?" ”
Xifu of the Hongwen Academy in his palm hurriedly stepped forward and said, "King Hui Khan, Shaharian is twenty-one years old this year. ”
Mrs. Hong asked him, "I don't know how he is learning?" ”
Xifu said: "Shaharen likes to practice martial arts, and he doesn't work Wen, and he is too different from him. ”
After hearing this, Hong Tai laughed, "Then use his strengths, Aobai, and let him be an errand in the Zhenghuang Banner guard after returning to Beijing, which can be regarded as an explanation to Erdeni." ”
Ao Bai behind him hurriedly responded in a rough voice: "The slave obeys the order!" In his heart, he was thinking about how to arrange Shaharen's two or five eggs.
Everyone rode for a while, and Hong Tai suddenly ordered: "Shenyang City should not be expanded, now that the war has been fought year after year, the people can only have food and clothing, and they need to be extra sympathetic to the people." Besides, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom has already built our new capital, so let's move in in a few years. ”
Everyone was stunned, and immediately thought that what the Khan King was talking about was the Beijing city of the Ming Kingdom, and thought of the Xiongcheng that they saw three years ago, and all the ministers of Baylor were happy and laughing, looking forward to the day when they could enter Beijing.
Amid the laughter of the ministers of Baylor, Hong Tai suddenly looked at Derge and said, "Derge, Ben Khan heard that there are still some farmers in the country who do not have cattle, right?" ”
Derge replied respectfully: "It is true, and the people often have disputes over the cultivation of cattle. ”
Hong Tai nodded, and then instructed the ministers of Baylor: "All of you remember that in the future, no large livestock such as cattle and horses will be used as sacrifices in the big festivals in the country, and each banner must allocate the eliminated war horses to the farmers. ”
The belles answered, "Your ministers obey." ”
Hong Tai stressed again: "Ben Khan will send someone to investigate, and if he finds any banner that still has farmers who have not cultivated livestock, he will not be forgiven." ”
The monarchs and ministers chatted while walking, and after walking for about an hour, they walked out of the boundary of Zhangjiakou before they accelerated their horses and ran in the direction of Duerbi
On 1 November, Hong Tai led the main force of the Eight Banners to Yangmu Shihe, and Dolgon led Yuetuo, Sakhalian, Haoge, Darhan, Wakda and other cities to meet them for ten miles.
When everyone entered the tent, Dolgon held the jade seal in his hand and knelt down to Hung Tai. When everyone looked at it, they saw wisps of five-colored light rising from Dolgon's hands, and some of the dust that had been floating in the tent disappeared at once, and the air became very refreshing.
Zilharang, Azig and others exclaimed: "It is indeed a national heirloom." ”
Hong Tai took it and looked at it repeatedly, and saw that there were two flying dragons carved on it, and on the front was the Han seal: the treasure of the emperor's edict. The luster is rich and exquisite, and no jade in the palace can compare with it.
Looking at it, Hong Tai's head that had been drowsy suddenly cleared like a puddle of water, which had never felt before. He was secretly amazed in his heart, and said silently: "The destiny of heaven is gold, and the destiny of heaven is gold." But on the surface, he was very calm: "Dolgon has planned well this time, so that the jade seal is intact and returned to gold, you are in charge of the officials, and your merits have been recorded." ”
Dolgon said: "The ministers dare not be greedy for the merits of heaven for themselves, and Yuetuo, Sakhalian, Haorge and all the soldiers help the ministers and brothers to plan, and the credit belongs to everyone." ”
Hong Tai smiled: "I heard that you went to the meeting alone, the one who reported the news is called Wen Tai, and you are about to say that you are Guan Yunchang." ”
"The Khan often taught us that Mount Tai should collapse in front of him without changing his color, that the elk should swim to the left without looking at it, and that the likes of Odos should be just a few horsemen."
At this time, the guards came in to report, and the Empress Dowager Sutai asked to see Ezhe.
Hong was too busy to say to the Baylors, "Let's go out together." He also instructed Zhezhe and other concubines: "You also follow." ”
When he came to the tent, he saw that Su Tai and Ezhe were kneeling in front of the tent, Hong Tai hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said in a loud voice: "How does this make it, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." ”
Hong Tai pulled up Ezhe and hugged his waist to meet him, and Zhezhe, Hai Lanzhu, Bumu Butai and others took care of Sutai.
Mrs. Hong looked at Ezhe, in his twenties, with a broad and ruddy face, thick eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, a wide mouth, broad shoulders, and a tall man.
"What a Mongolian hero." Mrs. Hong praised Ezhe, and couldn't help but take his hand and go into the tent, and his demeanor did not have the domineering of a half-point winner, which made Ezhe a little moved. Then the Empress Dowager Sutai also entered the big tent accompanied by Zhezhe, Hai Lanzhu and other Khan princesses, and several Khan princesses did not discriminate against her as a concubine, and their words were all honorific titles, which made Su Tai feel that investing in gold was the right decision.
