Chapter 425: Zhu Youzhen, who has no self-knowledge

After Bayanmur and other tribal princes arrived in Beijing, they were placed in the Honglu Temple, where officials taught them various etiquettes. Soon after, they were to participate in the court on behalf of the tribes to receive canonization, and they had to be familiar with the etiquette of the court.

Being forced to walk around every day, how to kowtow and how to kneel, made these Mongolian tribal princes very unhappy, and many began to protest and even tried to resist. However, this is in the city of Beijing, not in the Mongolian steppe, and whether it is protest or rebellion, the consequences are severe punishment, whipping, reprimanding every day, and starvation is a common thing.

Some stupid and ignorant guys also shouted, saying that they would send troops to take revenge after returning to the tribe, so these people were pulled out of the city, and saw the power of the Ming Praetorian Guard, when they saw the artillery firing in unison, the mountains were blown apart, and when they saw thousands of firearms fired at the same time, and countless wooden targets were shattered, these people were stunned and realized how powerful the Ming army's firearms were.

"I have such a million soldiers, if you want to bring extinction to your tribe, just try to make trouble again?" The officials of Honglu Temple said viciously.

Isn't there more than the Mongols in the entire Monan, the Ming army is so powerful, the princes of the tribes are so frightened, and no one dares to make trouble.

Bayan Mur is the same, he no longer dares to think wildly, he does not dare to have other thoughts. Every day, I honestly obeyed the teachings of the officials of Honglu Temple, and learned etiquette step by step. The Ming Dynasty is so powerful, and the entire Monan Mongolia is not an opponent when united, let alone their respective small tribes, this is what these tribal princes really think in their hearts.

After being honest, the Bayan Murs began to get used to this kind of life, and between trainings, they would be allowed to wander the streets and see the prosperity of the Jingshi. For these Mongolian tribesmen's buns, every time they go shopping, they will be shocked.

They were shocked by the sheer number of people in the city, the population of the whole of Beijing was one million, more than all the Mongols in the whole of Monan combined. They were shocked by the bustling city of Beijing, with its shops, traffic, pedestrians, and all kinds of good things. All kinds of items that are scarce in the grassland, everything is available here, and the price is much cheaper than on the grassland.

The Bayanmuls like to go to taverns to eat and drink, enjoying the rare delicacies of the Han region, and all kinds of delicacies make them addicted to eating finger meat and drinking milk, they have never eaten so many good things. They also like to go to Jiaofangsi Hutong to watch the girls sing and dance, but they are not allowed to spend the night here, because there are rules in Honglu Temple, and they must go back at night.

After seeing the prosperity of Beijing, these people are more honest, and they only want to go out to enjoy after training every day, where is there any resentment?

The officials of Honglu Temple have told them that after the imperial court awards the ceremony, they will be left behind and sent to study in the Guozijian, which makes these princes even more happy, they can enjoy the glory in this Beijing city, and they really don't care if they are hostages or not.

......

When these princes were happy, the Ming government and the opposition were in extreme excitement.

This winter, the good news comes one after another.

First of all, the Liaodong Janissaries went out to conquer Shenyang and recover the whole of Liaodong. As for whether the city of Shenyang was given up by Jiannu or fought by the Praetorian Guard, the people didn't care, they only knew that Shenyang was taken and Liaodong was recovered, which means that the Jiannu Tartars who threatened the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years are also finished, and there will be no more threats to the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no more Jiannu soldiers coming to the city of Beijing, and the imperial court will not levy more Liao, and the life of the common people will be much better.

The people in the countryside of other provinces are closed to news, and many people don't even know who the emperor is, and they are naturally not interested in the government and politics, but the people in Beijing are different, and they are the most sensitive to the government and politics. When the news of the recovery of Liaodong reached Beijing, it can be said that the entire city of Beijing was boiling, and the people vied with each other to praise the names of generals such as Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Bianjiao.

Compared with the recovery of Liaodong, the defeat of the conspiracy of Jiannu in Hetao and the preservation of the Mongol tribe in Monan are certainly happy events, but in the eyes of the people of Beijing, it is nothing. In the eyes of many people, it is normal for the Praetorian Guards to defeat Jiannu, and it is not a big deal, after all, it is not unheard of to have thousands of first-class prisoners in World War I, and the battle of Hetao is just to force Jiannu back, and there are not many gains.

As for the significance of defeating Jiannu and keeping Monan Mongolia to the Ming Dynasty, how can ordinary people know?

However, the capture of Lin Dan Khan and the pacification of Mongolia was different.

Since the Ming Dynasty, for more than 200 years, the war between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia has gained an advantage in the decades since the founding of the country. However, since then, the Ming Dynasty has been defeated in successive battles against the Mongols, especially after the Tumubao Incident, they can only passively defend and take the initiative to attack Mongolia again.

After Longqing paid tribute, although the war with the Mongols stopped, it was the trade that eliminated the military disaster, and it was not the Ming soldiers who made the Mongols afraid.

However, who would have thought that in the Chongzhen period, the Ming army would face the Mongols and achieve successive victories, first Hong Chengchou led his troops out of Zhangjiakou to break the Karaqin Department, and then Zhang Shize's Jizhou broke the soil Xie Tu Khan, all of which achieved a brilliant record of beheading and capturing tens of thousands.

And these two battles can not be compared with the battle of Hetao, the first battle of Hetao, Zhang Shize attacked the city of naturalization, Lu Xiangsheng captured Lin Dan Khan, occupied the capital of Mongolia, captured the Great Khan of Mongolia, and then divided Monan into 36 departments, each of which was canonized by the Ming court.

That is to say, from now on, the entire Monan Mongolia will become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and its status is basically the same as that of Yungui's Tusi. The tribes of Monan accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, and their tribal leaders had to be canonized by the Ming court before they could be justified, which also meant that in legal terms, thousands of miles of southern Mongolia, including the Hetao, became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Capturing the enemy chieftain and expanding the territory is a real work of expanding the territory.

This credit is so great, it simply surpasses that of Lan Yu back then. After all, although Lan Yu hit the fishing sea and captured the entire Yuan Dynasty court, the territory he laid down did not occupy it. And now, the Hetao, the north and south of Yinshan, and even the entire Monan can be said to be Ming in the future. Although it will be some time before complete domination.

For a time, the names of Sun Chuanting, Zhang Shize and others spread in Beijing, the Royal People's Daily serialized their heroic deeds one after another, and gold medal authors such as Lao Wang next door also wrote articles one after another, writing a series of scripts around the Battle of Hetao, and storytellers vied to say these things in various taverns. That is, the tribal princes of Bayan Mur and others did not understand Chinese, and they didn't even know that they were talking about themselves when they were drinking in the tavern, otherwise they would have to die of shame.

The people vied with each other to praise the exploits of Sun Chuanting, Zhang Shize and other generals, and the situation in the court also changed rapidly.

Originally, under the auspices of Sun Chuanting and Zhang Shize, the Xuanfu Datong Yulin Sanbian and other places were restructured, and a large number of generals were taken down for their crimes, and a large number of military fields occupied by the generals were recovered, which undoubtedly moved the interests of many people.

In the land of the three sides, there are many generals, and many officials have benefited from it, and the transportation of military rations, the opening of China and France, has fed a large number of merchants, and each businessman has an official background behind it. And although the three sides are military towns, there are also a lot of people who are promoted from the three sides of the examination, these gentry have huge interests on the three sides, and their families occupy a large amount of military land, Sun Chuanting's measures are equivalent to digging up their roots, how can they be willing?

Since Sun Chuanting began to reform the three sides, there have been successive notes to impeach him. The calls for the dismissal of Sun Chuanting in the court were all suppressed by Zhu Youzhen, otherwise the trilateral restructuring would have died a long time ago.

And now, Sun Chuanting pacified Monan Mongolia and made a peerless contribution, and the impeachment of him disappeared all of a sudden. After all, compared with capturing Lin Dan Khan alive and seizing Guihua City to pacify the entire Monan, killing a few trilateral generals, copying some homes, and clearing hundreds of thousands of acres of military land is a fart!

For a while, in the mouths of these civil officials, Sun Chuanting became a great hero again, and there were recitals praising him every day, and there were even more recitals talking about how to reward him. Many civil officials even suggested that Sun Chuanting be knighted and given a Dingbei Bo or Dingbei Marquis.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen would not agree to the proposal to knight Sun Chuanting, he understood the vicious intentions of these civil officials. After giving Sun Chuanting a knighthood, it is equivalent to offering Sun Chuanting highly, and Sun Chuanting will no longer be able to supervise the place in the future. Back then, those civil officials were so grateful to Wang Yangming, who had made great contributions.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen will not knight Sun Chuanting, but will give him an official title and a wife and son, which is extremely glorious. And Sun Chuanting and Zhu Youzhen will continue to reuse, after all, there are too few people under him who can use it. Many civil officials have the ability and integrity, but they are not on the royal side.

Recently, Zhu Youzhen is very happy, very happy!

He never imagined that under his own governance, Daming would reach the current situation.

When he was just reborn, Zhu Youzhen just hoped that the Ming Dynasty would not die in his own hands in this life, but only hoped that he could be able to level thieves inside and build slaves outside.

And now, just over three years after ascending the throne, the thieves in northern Shaanxi who ravaged the Ming Dynasty and seized their own country no longer exist, the thief leader Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others were killed, and the biggest thief Li Zicheng is charging for himself.

It has only been more than three years since he ascended the throne, and he has already ploughed the court and swept the holes to smash the Huanglong and recover the entire Liaodong, which Zhu Youzhen did not expect at the beginning of his ascension to the throne.

The once incomparably powerful Jiannu, who was once like a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Ming Dynasty, was driven out of Liaodong and driven to the grassland. Liaodong has been recovered in his own hands, and he can go to comfort his ancestors and ancestors!

It only took more than three years to ascend the throne, and he actually pacified Monan, which Zhu Youzhen could not have imagined at the beginning. To be honest, when he heard that Lin Dan Khan was captured, Zhu Youzhen was in a daze. The Mongols who harassed and threatened the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years were pacified in their own hands, which sounded like a dream!

But that's the reality! Lin Dan Khan had been escorted to Beijing, and Zhu Youzhen had seen it in person, and ordered Lin Dan Khan to dance a Mongolian dance on the Golden Palace. The princes of more than thirty Mongolian tribes are in Honglu Temple, waiting to receive their own canonization, and all this is true!

Everything is true, Zhu Youzhen is not satisfied, the trilateral restructuring is inseparable from people, Sun Chuanting could not return to Beijing, Zhu Youzhen summoned Zhang Shize and ordered him to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Zhu Youzhen wanted to know everything from the mouth of this childhood playmate, especially the process of fighting.

As soon as Zhang Shize entered the city of Beijing, he was summoned to the Wenhua Palace, and after Zhu Youzhen comforted him, he was impatient to ask about the details of the war. Although I know the beginning and end of the things from the song, how can the few lines of text written on the song be wonderful from the mouth of the person who has experienced it.

Zhang Shize also understood the emperor's thoughts, regardless of fatigue at the moment, explained in detail the situation of the battle of Hetao, this guy's eloquence was originally convenient, and he talked about the ups and downs of the whole battle, how to make decisions, and how to coerce Jiannu in two ways.

After forcing the Jiannu to retreat, Sun Chuanting was sparse, and Zhu Youzhen personally set the strategy of pacifying Mongolia, Zhu Youzhen naturally knew, and what he wanted to know more was the process of implementation. Originally, in Zhu Youzhen's view, Lin Dan Khan would not necessarily be personally involved in danger, and the Ming army would most likely have a big battle with the Mongols in order to pacify Monan. And if this is the case, maybe it will be cheaper to build slaves.

Therefore, the pacification of Mongolia is actually a risk, and it is likely to push the Mongols to the side of Jiannu. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not discuss this decision with the ministers of the DPRK and China at all, so he directly issued a secret edict to Sun Chuanting. It is tantamount to putting pressure on Sun Chuanting, if it is unable to pacify Mongolia or even lead to chaos in Mongolia, Sun Chuanting will bear the blame.

Yes, although he has grown a lot in rebirth, many times Zhu Youzhen is still unwilling to take responsibility like in his previous life, which is brought in his bones, and there is no way.

But Zhu Youzhen never expected that Sun Chuanting would do it so well, and he really caught Lin Dan Khan and pacified Monan. How did he not want to know what was going on?

Zhang Shize told him how Sun Chuanting designed to induce Lin Dan Khan to meet in the middle of the Yellow River, how he set up sleigh soldiers to rush out and capture Lin Dan Khan, how he smashed the river soldiers with a hundred cannons and killed thousands of Mongolian cavalry, how he sent envoys to persuade the Mongolian tribes to surrender Taiji, and how he made a detour to take Guihua City.

Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief after listening, and a faint regret was born in his heart.

"I regret it very much, I regret that I didn't go on a personal expedition and personally pacify Mongolia." Zhu You sighed.

It's good that Your Majesty didn't go, otherwise I don't know what it would be, Zhang Shize said secretly. Regarding the level of Zhu Youzhen's command, Zhang Shize really didn't dare to compliment.

However, the words that came out of his mouth were: "In fact, the Mongols are not as strong as they imagined, if Your Majesty drives the expedition in person, the morale will definitely be greatly boosted, and it will definitely be easier to take the Mongols." If His Majesty had driven the expedition in person at the beginning, maybe he wouldn't even be able to run away from Huang Taiji, and capture Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan in a battle, and directly pacify Jiannu and Mongolia! ”

"Hahaha......" Zhu Youzhen laughed.
