Offering a prisoner of the Beijing Division?

Hearing the shouts of the heralds, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and the court seemed to have not heard the news from Luchuan for a long time. The last time the controversy between the government and the opposition was caused by the request of Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji to move 200,000 Han people south, so as to solve the border trouble once and for all.

At that time, it aroused the opposition of many officials in the court, after all, such a large-scale resettlement plan would cost no less than fighting another battle of Luchuan, and at the same time, forcibly moving south could easily cause civil unrest.

Later, it was only by relying on the "land enclosure plan" proposed by Shen Yichen and the use of customs silver to subsidize the southward migrants that this policy was finally implemented.

All the officials thought that if Tunbian wanted to stabilize it, there was no hope for three or five years, but only half a year had passed, and there was a feat of the thief chief conferring the head and offering the capture of the Beijing division, how did he do it?

In the face of the surprise of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, the corners of Shen Yichen's mouth showed a subtle smile, in fact, he had been in close contact with Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji all these years. After all, the Battle of Luchuan was not affected by the change of dynasty, and it always maintained a high-intensity investment in armaments, relying on Shen Yichen's strong support in the center.

Otherwise, according to the situation at the end of the Jingtai Dynasty, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji would have retreated from Luchuan a long time ago, and it would have become a tiger-like battle.

As early as the end of the second year of Jingtai, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji had already crossed the Jinsha River, chased and killed the soldiers and horses of Luchuan Tusi to Burma and the northern region of Tianzhu, so that the large-scale group battle turned into a small-scale law and order war.

Immediately after another year of encirclement and suppression, Silu, the new leader of the Luchuan Tusi, has been besieged in a Jedi, marking the end of the fourth Ming expedition to Luchuan.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Ji, the boshi of Jingyuan, proposed to Shen Yichen a plan to emigrate to Tunbian, only in this way can the situation in Luchuan and Burma be stable after the end of the military operation, until it is finally assimilated into the Han Tu.

In other words, the end of the Luchuan Battle had already set the tone half a year ago, and Shen Yichen maintained a dense state in order to ensure the material input of the imperial court. When the "enclosure movement" was implemented, more and more southern Han people took the initiative to go to Luchuan Tunbian, which meant that they could really return to the court.

Just at the moment when Shen Yichen was about to announce, Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, raised troops to "Qingjun's side", triggering a more huge "Western Expedition" plan.

During the period of time that Shen Yichen was preparing to implement, he had already taken into account the various reasons for opposition from the court officials, and the biggest obstacle may be the hidden danger of the three-front battle, after all, the experience of Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong almost losing the country made people have to be vigilant.

But now with the end of the Battle of Luchuan, everything has been reversed. The Ming Dynasty was no longer faced with a three-front war, on the contrary, if the western expedition went well, it would be a huge encirclement for the Mongol Khanate.

As long as the Ming army in the east exterminated the Tatar Mengke, it would be able to recover the territory between the Yalu River and the Datong River, which meant that the Liaodong Metropolitan Division and the lost Nuer Gandu Division were fully opened.

If the progress of the Zhongguo Gong Shiheng in the west goes well, not to mention the entire vast Western Regions, the recovery of the Hexi Corridor alone will cut off the current Mongol Khanate from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Khanate, and block the possibility of their westward migration.

Not to mention the south, the Xuanda defense line and Monan Mongolia and Liaodong Dusi have long been connected to form an iron wall, and they will not give the Mongolian iron cavalry a chance to break through.

The Ming army on three sides formed a huge encirclement, constantly compressing the living space of the Mongol Khanate. In the coming day, the Ming Dynasty waved the Northern Expedition, and the space that was also vacated first was only left in the bitter cold land further north, which was the place where the champion of the Han Dynasty Hou exterminated the Xiongnu and drank the Ma Hanhai.

By the time the Mongols came to this point, their fate would have been doomed to become the next Huns!

If the Luchuan Campaign is a century-old plan, then Shen Yichen's insistence on promoting the "Western Expedition" plan is to prepare a millennium plan to restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Since then, the northern nomads will once again become a simple historical symbol, just like the Xiongnu and Turkic in the past, disappearing in the long history, and the Central Plains Dynasty is still standing!

If you want to persuade the civil and military officials to agree to the "Western Expedition" plan to the greatest extent, then you have to give them an absolute psychological impact, and nothing can stimulate the pride and glory of the Celestial Empire hidden in the bottom of your heart more than a prisoner gift.

It is not an accident that the herald will appear in the Fengtian Temple at this time to report the good news, on the contrary, it is Shen Yichen's deliberate arrangement of the time, and the Ming Liang Emperor Zhu Jianqing and the hundred officials of the imperial court will witness a victory belonging to the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, I beg you to move to the noon gate, the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army have escorted the Luchuan traitors to the Beijing Division, and they are waiting outside the noon gate at the moment for the prisoner sacrifice ceremony."

"Since the orthodox three years of Luchuan thief chieftain Si Renfa rebellion, after three dynasties and fifteen years, today my great soldiers have finally completely wiped out!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Shen Yichen said this sentence passionately in the shocked eyes of everyone, and then knelt on the ground to celebrate Emperor Mingliang.

For a while, the Fengtian Hall was unusually quiet, which was not to say that the ministers had no psychological fluctuations in the face of the Luchuan victory, on the contrary, the matter was too sudden, which caused the brain to go blank, and some could not believe that the battle of Luchuan was over.

After a long silence, someone reacted, knelt down and congratulated: "Pacify Luchuan, sacrifice the capture of the Beijing Division, my emperor Shengming!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Fifteen years of pacifying Luchuan, showing the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty, will be able to come from generation to generation!"

"Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, and the Ming army is mighty! ”

All kinds of shouting and congratulatory voices are endless, even if many people have not yet reacted to what is going on, even if many officials do not agree with Shen Yichen's belligerent use of force, they are still excited, excited, and proud of the victory of the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts!

This is what a dynasty in the middle of the revival period should be.

Looking at the boiling scene in the hall, Emperor Zhu Jianqing of Mingliang was a little at a loss.

At his age, he still can't understand what the end of the Luchuan Battle means in the past fifteen years, but he can vaguely understand that the holding of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony indicates that the country is strong and has won a great victory, and the emperor should pay tribute to the meritorious soldiers.

In addition, this is Mr. asking him to move to the noon gate, and after getting along with each other during this time, Zhu Jianqing, Emperor Mingliang, has a blind trust in Shen Yichen, and there are vague signs of surpassing Cao Jixiang.

So he nodded and said, "I listened to Mr. and moved to the noon gate to watch the ceremony and offer the prisoners." ”

After being confirmed by the emperor, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gradually woke up from the shock and celebration at this time, especially the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Honglu Temple, and immediately panicked.

You must know that the sacrifice of prisoners is a very solemn ceremony, especially when the emperor is present and presiding, and it represents the majesty of the entire imperial dynasty.

Fortunately, at this time, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up, as an old minister of the Six Dynasties, he has organized countless national ceremonies and has extremely rich experience. I saw that he ordered his subordinate officials in an orderly manner, and quickly carried out the preliminary work to prepare for the emperor's move. 33

Compared with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and other departments, they were all panicked and busy, and more questions slowly emerged in the hearts of the other officials present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, didn't we discuss the Western Expedition at the Imperial Court, and why has it evolved into a prisoner sacrifice ceremony now?"

"For such a big matter as the head of the thief chieftain, Jing Yuanbo didn't report it to the imperial court, and directly arrived at the noon gate to offer prisoners?"

"That's right, the imperial court hasn't received the Luchuan military information for almost half a year, and all my colleagues thought that they were caught in a scorching war, and the result was really unexpected!"

In the face of everyone's discussion, I saw that at this time, the cabinet minister Wang Yining smiled bitterly and said: "This is the means of Shen Gongbao, you see that the attention of the civil and military officials is now all on the noon gate to sacrifice prisoners, who is still continuing to oppose the Western Expedition?" ”

Not only Wang Yining smiled bitterly, but the expression on Yang Hongze, who was also a cabinet minister, was also very complicated, the reason was that the entire cabinet had learned that Shen Yichen was planning a noon ceremony to sacrifice prisoners before the court meeting was held, which is why the proposal for the Western Expedition would be passed in the cabinet.

Although the decline of the entire civilian-bureaucratic group is fully revealed, Yang Hongze's character is destined that he will not succumb to flattery to Shen Yichen, and if he can't give enough convincing reasons, he will not agree to Shen Yichen's proposal for a westward expedition in the cabinet meeting anyway.

Unfortunately, Yang Hongze was persuaded by Shen Yichen, and one of the reasons was that the end of the southern expedition to Luchuan gave the Ming Empire the spare strength to go west to recover its homeland.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, what really moved Yang Hongze was Shen Yichen's grand plan to surround the Tartars on three sides. He seemed to have seen the birth of a prosperous dynasty, the reappearance of the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties, and the peak martial virtue of the Han family.

This picture is fascinating, with irresistible temptation and charm, transcending ideas, camps and personal grudges.

If you can witness the Ming Iron Riding Wolf Juxu in your lifetime, you will have no regrets in this life!

Wang Yining's words made all the ministers present suddenly realize, it turned out that all this was a good game set up by Shen Yichen, but few people came up with the annoyance and anger after being deceived, and no one stood up to accuse and oppose it.

Maybe everyone is hesitating in their hearts, whether Shen Yichen can really use this to achieve an immortal feat that the Han dynasty has not been able to do for more than 800 years.

Outside the noon gate of the Forbidden City, there were already dense soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, almost everyone had lost a lot of weight compared to when they set out on the expedition, and lines like knives appeared on their faces.

On both sides of the outer moat, countless people of Beijing flocked to the city under the shouts of the newsboys of Wenbao. Under normal circumstances, the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners was held by the officials of the Ministry of War to report the good news to the emperor, and then the officials of the Ministry of Rites issued a notice to the ruling civil and military officials, as well as the gentry and respected old people in the city to watch the ceremony.

But this time, Shen Yichen broke the convention and directly publicized it by the newsboy who spread the most rapidly in Beijing, and the people of Beijing, regardless of men, women and children, could come to watch the ceremony at noon, and overlook the emperor's dignity from afar.

The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners should not be the exclusive privilege of the scholar class, it should be a carnival belonging to the whole people, only by stimulating national consciousness can there be a steady stream of Han family sons and daughters to join the army, embarking on the road of recovering their homeland and fighting with foreign races.

Since ancient times, the son of a good family is the guarantee of combat effectiveness, not a thief with an army, Shen Yichen hopes to dismantle the concept of nobility and martial arts from the root!

"When we set out on the expedition, it was still the Jingtai Dynasty, and the day we came back was already the Mingliang Dynasty."

Looking at the majestic noon gate of the Forbidden City in front of him, a soldier of the Southern Expeditionary Army said such a sentence with tears in his eyes and great emotion.

"The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years, you are not bad, the first time we followed Jingyuan Bonan's expedition, it was still the orthodox dynasty, and no one would have thought that a Luchuan counterinsurgency would go through three dynasties."

Another veteran sighed in his tone, in the four Luchuan wars in more than ten years, many young and strong men have become middle-aged men, and some are forever sleeping in the mountains and dense forests in the southwest.

Looking back on the past is like a dream, at least compared to those sacrificed comrades-in-arms, I can still come back alive to see the Ming Jingshi.

"Coincidentally, the last time I came to Beijing to offer prisoners, Shen Yuanfu also presided over the surrender ceremony in the Hanlin Academy. Now that all these years have passed, I can see Shen Yuanfu presiding over the prisoner sacrifice ceremony again, do you think this is fate? ”

"Don't put gold on your face, you kid, a little soldier still wants to have a relationship with Shen Yuanfu?"

"Don't look down on people, Shen Yuanfu has never despised our Southern Expeditionary Army, I still remember the scene of the martial arts performance in the suburbs of Beijing when Corporal Lixian was performed."

A whispered discussion sounded in the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army, these soldiers only knew that they were transferred back to Beijing by Shen Yichen to offer prisoners, and they didn't know that Shen Yuanfu had been promoted to Shen Gongbao, let alone that this time it would be the Ming Emperor Zhu Jianqing who really presided over the prisoner sacrifice ceremony.

However, at this moment, the two doors on the left and right of the noon door were opened, and the civil and military officials who participated in the court meeting walked out of it, and the front row was a group of scarlet-robed adults.

Although there are as many high-ranking officials as a dog in Beijing, the scene where important ministers gather is still rarely seen by ordinary people, and the Wumen Square and both sides of the moat, which were still chaotic before, instantly became silent, and many people didn't even dare to take a breath of air.

Until a tall figure appeared in everyone's sight, the originally quiet and unusually quiet Wumen Square erupted in cheers like thunder.

The only thing that can cause this effect is Shen Yichen!

"Shen Yuanfu has come out, you can see that it's Shen Yuanfu!"

"After so many years, Shen Yuanfu is still full of spirit and youth."

"Without Shen Gong Bao's support for Jingyuan Boyong Town, there may not be today's Luchuan victory."

"Shen Gong Bao is the pillar stone of the country, and the Ming Dynasty will be able to go far to the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

The fanatical shouts made many officials present look shocked, they knew that Shen Yichen was famous, but they didn't expect that he had reached such a lofty state in the hearts of the soldiers and the people.

Some people died, but not completely......
