Chapter 310: The Princely Prince, the Ancient and Modern

"Your Majesty Hongfu is a large number of people, and there is no doubt about employing people, the ministers are lucky to annihilate the Jiannu Duoduo Department, completely destroy the two banners, and capture the Han and Mongolian armies, Jiangnan Huchen, and clear it overnight!"

"The soldiers fought for several months, four battles before and after, small battles were not counted, a total of 110,000 enemies were annihilated in the south of the Yangtze River, and more than 20,000 enemies were annihilated in the north of the Yangtze River, totaling 133,000 odds, and the first level was 64,000! More than 30,000 wounded prisoners were forced to land! The rest fled and drowned.

The original soldiers and horses of the two white flags of Jiannu were all wiped out, and the red flags were heavily damaged. The puppet Prince Yu Duoduo awarded the head, the puppet Baylor Wanyan Yechen awarded the head, and the puppet Beizi Fucha Shuozhan was captured. A total of fourteen people were killed and captured by the generals below Beizi and above Jiala's Ezhen!

The original soldiers and horses of the Mongolian army Zhenghong and Blue Banner were also heavily damaged, and all of them were annihilated under the Zhenglan Banner, and only two Jiala of the Zhenghong Banner were able to escape, killing Yin Bai of the Blue Banner Gushan Ezhen (banner owner), and capturing Meler Ezhen Ahanikan (deputy flag owner, not the same person as Nikan).

The puppet Han army flag inlaid with yellow flags and red flags was also completely annihilated, and the prisoner banner advocated Cunren, and its subordinate generals Tian Xiong and Zhang Guoxun beheaded their generals Zhang Jie, Wang Dingguo, and Man Jinzhong. In addition, he also killed the surrender general Liu Liangzuo and the puppet general Kong Tingxun in Jiangbei.

Among the enemies who invaded the south of the Yangtze River, some of the Jiannu generals were able to escape, the Mongolian generals were able to escape, and the Han army and the newly surrendered puppet army, only a few of Li Chengdong's subordinates escaped......"

Early in the morning of New Year's Day, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces in Nanjing followed Emperor Longwu Zhu Changshu to the Ming Tomb outside the city, and greeted the captured Zhu Shuren while listening to the staff next to Zhu Shuren reciting the exploits of a series of battles in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

There were hundreds of people in the audience, plus tens of thousands of guards and troops, everyone was silent, not daring to make noise, but they were excited, and their blood was boiling with excitement inspired by the numbers and lists.

As Zhu Shuren's main civilian staff, Gu Yanwu has now also obtained his due official position in the imperial court, and of course he helped ghostwrite the words of his merits, and now he also helps to recite them, so Zhu Shucai is too lazy to worry about this kind of writing work.

But then again, Zhu Shuren was also born at the tail end of the two lists of Jinshi cranes during the time of the first emperor, and he also wrote a high-level political theory work like "The Theory of Thieves".

Even if these writing jobs are lost to the staff now, no one will think that the surname of the country is not good at writing, but only that he has no time to deal with small things. If the surname of the country is written by himself, it must not be much more gorgeous.

finally waited for Gu Yanwu to finish reading, and everyone was still immersed in the thrilling scale of the big victory and couldn't extricate themselves.

Even the emperor Zhu Changshu himself still has a sense of unreality, and when he walked through the process of comforting his ancestors and filial piety, he trembled slightly several times and his movements were deformed.

Duoduo came south this time, and the soldiers and horses he brought with him were close to 30% of the total regular army strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! Before arriving in Huainan, there were 140,000 soldiers and horses, and later they forced the second division of Xu Dingguo and Liu Liangzuo, who surrendered to the enemy in the line of fire, plus some other traitor servants, and Li Chengdong's division, which defected to the enemy after Gao Jie was killed, also had 30,000 or 40,000 people.

The total number of enemies destroyed by Zhu Shuren is 133,000, of which most of the 110,000 annihilated by Jiangnan were annihilated from the 140,000 people brought by Duoduo from the north, and only a few were Li Chengdong's.

The 20,000 annihilated in Jiangbei were mainly the servants of Xu Dingguo and Liu Liangzuo.

This is equivalent to the troops brought by Duoduo, and those who eventually survived to the north were at most less than 40,000 people, and the remaining more than 100,000 and a few thousand were left forever.

Almost two regular armies with full flags were wiped out in each of Manchuria! (There are still reservists in the rear of these flags, and it can only be said that the active personnel of the above flags will be wiped out)

It has been nearly thirty years since the frequent bloody battles between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu in the late Wanli period! It has been 44 years since Jiannu established the Eight Banners system! But over the years, how could the Ming Dynasty have had the results of completely annihilating a flag-level unit of the Manchurian people! This time, it is to annihilate two flags at one time!

(In the process of gradually unifying the Jurchens, Nuer Hachi began to establish the Eight Banners system.) The initial establishment of the Eight Banners was about fifteen years earlier than the time when Nuer Hachi announced the "Seven Great Hatreds" and the founding of the People's Republic of China and the war with the Ming Dynasty.)

Such a great achievement is still in the Ming Dynasty has suffered the martyrdom of the first emperor, the fall of Beijing, only half of the remnants of the mountains and rivers remain, the building will fall, the tide is falling, and the situation is dangerous, the Jedi counterattack and reverse the heavenly situation!

It is not an exaggeration to say that when he was entrusted with the defeat of the army, he was ordered to be in danger, to restore his sight and recreate the world!

Together with Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet, the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have already understood in their hearts at this moment that no matter how His Majesty rewards the country's surname, they will not be able to stop them, and they can only sing praises and participate in the grand event.

Otherwise, it would be too ignorant of current affairs.

What's more, if it is a two-month setback, there may still be some rotten Confucians in the DPRK and China who want to talk crookedly and talk about the ancestral etiquette. But two days before Zhu Shuren arrived in Nanjing, Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi were still shaken by fear and took the lead in running.

Although Qian Qianyi finally conspired with his protégé to assassinate several Qing army city gate guards and dedicated Danyang County anyway, it was only a reduction of the sentence, and it was impossible to return to his official career.

And Wang Duo and his henchmen are now also captured alive along with other civilian officials who were stranded in Jiangyin, Wujin, Jintan and other counties. With Wang Duo's original high position as the secretary of Nanjing, his defection to the enemy was naturally very widespread, and a large group of two-faced people who shook the wall and rode the wall were uprooted by the grass and rabbits!

His fate is naturally much worse than Qian Qianyi's, and after the interrogation is clear, he will definitely be beheaded directly!

In addition, Zhu Shuren also has an extra trump card in his hand, which is now a little redundant, to deal with the rotten Confucianism of Nanjing Donglin Fushe.

That is Gong Dingyu, the envoy sent by Azig to persuade Zhang Huangyan to surrender after Zhang Huangyan was captured by Zhang Huangyan in the Battle of Nanyang Mansion before.

This person is known as Jiang Zuosan's family along with Qian Qianyi and Wu Meicun, and he is also an important figure in the Fushe and Donglin literary circles, and he has friendships with many people. Previously, Zhang Huangyan detained him, and he also tried to say that he had a relationship in Nanjing, and wanted Zhang Huangyan to spare him.

And now that Zhu Shuren doesn't have to be afraid of Tartars at all, Gong Dingyu's confession is naturally a time bomb that is enough to make Donglin and Fushe people panic. Gong Dingyu once tried to get Zhang Huangyan to let Zhang Huangyan let him go through who he had a friendship with, so the person he had a friendship with might be a rebel!

Zhu Shuren didn't want to expand the scope of the attack, he also wanted to play a drama of "after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he burned all the letters of the people who originally communicated with Yuan Shao privately and paid money in public", so as to invite people to buy people's hearts and let everyone unite and look forward from now on.

However, if anyone really doesn't have long eyes, Zhu Shuren will not hesitate to kill a few more.

In fact, there is no shortage of long-sighted people at any time, so before Zhu Shuren entered the city on Chinese New Year's Eve last night, he took a few thorns as a reverse file of "collusion with Gong Dingxiao and other renegade civil officials in the north", and no one dared to talk nonsense at all, and even went through relatively simple procedures.

And then the others immediately became honest.

……

Offering prisoners, paying homage to the tomb, and comforting the Taimiao, the three major ceremonial processes are completed, and you have to enter and exit Nanjing City, but most of the time has passed.

When the whole process of changing the Yuan Longwu was finally completed, the time had dragged from the end of the early morning to the beginning of the afternoon.

Everyone hadn't even eaten lunch, and they were already hungry. Even the emperor himself could only hide in the dragon chariot on the way back to the city from the Ming Tomb, while quietly drinking some ginseng soup and eating some snacks.

The other civil and military officials, at most, rode on horseback to secretly eat some dry food and drink some water.

The emperor also took into account everyone's hunger, thirst and exhaustion, so he announced that he would give a dinner first, and then discuss the important issue of rewards and punishments for merit and merit at the banquet - of course, it was limited to the promotion of a few of the most important characters, and most of the others had to go through the cabinet process later, so there was not so much time today.

The banquet was held in the Qianqing Palace in Nanjing, which had just been renovated, and high-ranking civil officials and military generals could go to the palace.

Other representatives of the main meritorious soldiers who are not of sufficient rank are on the square in front of the palace, holding lamps and giving banquets, setting up some short tables at will, and giving some wine and meat.

Because the amount of supply to be supplied in this part is too large, even Guanglu Temple can't manage it, so it can't talk about any exquisite cooking, it can only be said that the wine and meat are enough, and it is very rough.

The cattle, mutton and pork of the big fan and the whole chicken and duck that have been washed and dehaired are washed and blanched indiscriminately, and a large piece of braised stew is simply chopped and stewed. If you don't like it, you can't help it, so throw some salt and pepper sauce and dip it to eat.

Fortunately, the soldiers are all rough people, and they are used to suffering in the army, and they don't have too high requirements for the emperor's banquet, as long as the wine and meat are enough, they are very satisfied, mainly to see the world.

And the civil and military officials were naturally more concerned about eating and drinking, and after alleviating their hunger a little, the emperor took the lead in speaking to the part of the civil and military in the Qianqing Palace:

"This time the total annihilation of Duoduo, as well as the previous killing of the thieves and the revenge of the first emperor, have not yet been rewarded. I think that since the first emperor has given Zhu Qing the surname of the country, and he is indeed a relative, I want to make him a prince, what do you think? ”

Crowned king?!

These two words fell on the main hall, and immediately made the sound of eating and drinking softer, but now, no one really jumped out to oppose it immediately.

Just now, a group of Wang Duo's henchmen were disposed of during the day, and they were imprisoned pending trial. Yesterday, a few "rebellious" friends of Gong Dingyu were arrested, and Qian Qianyi and his core protégés were also in prison.

How many iron-headed ones are left in this hall?

In the end, he was only a little timid and afraid, and in a consultative tone, he asked Wu Meicun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to come forward to explain whether such a reward was in line with the laws of the imperial court and the ancestral system of Taizu.

Wu Meicun has become a lost person, so naturally there is no way to shirk it.

But he was originally the mountain chief and secretary of Zhu Shuren when he was in Guozijian for a few months, and this teacher-student friendship was there, how dare he dismantle the stage? Moreover, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which was served by Zhu Shuren after Qian Qianyi was taken away.

Otherwise, judging from his qualifications, a few years ago he was just the secretary of the Guozijian Division, and now he is promoted to the rank of Young James at most, and the conversion level should be slightly lower than that of the Ministry of Rites.

Being able to go from being slightly lower than the squire to being a scholar directly is what a blessing it is. If his own students promote him like this, he will also repay the favor, otherwise he will be said to be unrighteous behind the backs of the world.

Fortunately, the two "Jiang Zuosan family" have already entered, he is the only one who is still outside, and he is also regarded as an academic authority in the current dynasty, so Wu Weiye quoted scriptures and classics to argue for a long time, and finally concluded that the surname of the country and the king were the first emperor and the present Shanggan respectively, which is also regarded as an internal move not to avoid relatives, the specific argumentation process is very complicated, and outsiders do not need to understand.

The Ministry of Rites has endorsed the book, and Zhu Changshu has also gone down the stairs, and he touched his goatee with great relief: "Okay, then tomorrow the cabinet will discuss the procedures in detail, I think that it is enough to be promoted from the Duke of Eguo to the king of E."

In addition, since it is an example of the prince of the clan, it is indeed necessary to entangle the military and financial resources of the world in such an autumn of national disaster, and strive to go to the national disaster together.

Is it also necessary to restore the old system of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion or the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies during the Taizu period, or to set up a similar post to coordinate the entire army in the world, so as to facilitate the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and rebuild the rivers and mountains in the future? ”

In the Qianqing Palace, there was a brief silence again, and in the end, it was Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the military department, who stood up and took the initiative to take the lead in understanding the times:

"Your Majesty's mind, extraordinary people can reach, so there is no doubt about employing people, it can be described as the supreme justice of the monarch and ministers, the grand track of ancient and modern, although the Han Zhaolie is Zhuge Liang, it can not be compared to this.

The sage cloud, the journey of the avenue, the world is public. His Majesty earnestly thinks of saving the common people and recovering the Central Plains, and his heart is not as good as the rest, although he has not been able to have such a mind in ancient times. How dare the ministers not attach to the tail, so as to become His Majesty's holy virtue and bask in the atmosphere of Zhongxing. ”

At this moment, Shi Kefa actually figured it out, non-Zhu Shuren couldn't save Daming.

The Tartars entered the prison and brutalized the Central Plains, this is no longer a matter of one family and one surname, but a matter of survival in the world. Compared with Shenzhou Lu Shen, what else is there to be stuck with in other small and righteous subsections?

And with Zhu Shuren's ingenious identity, Shi Kefa knew that he wouldn't mess around, and he wouldn't mess around, he already knew too well what Zhu Shuren thought.

In the future, the whole world will be Zhu Shuren's "son in blood and nephew in the legal system". The signboard of the Ming Dynasty can be preserved forever, isn't it good?
