Chapter 186

Emperor Chongzhen is not a novice who has just ascended the throne, he has actually figured out many things, and he has also understood it, Cheng Shijie said that the gentry problem, if he didn't know it before, now he knows it.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, more than 80 times (in fact, it is 89 times), a total of more than 25,000 Jinshi (in fact, it is (24,586 people), of which, a total of 267 Jinshi, 6,469 Jinshi of the Second Class, a total of 17,850 Jinshi of the Third Class, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, a total of more than 100,080 people, since the beginning of the country, the average number of Jinshi in the surviving world is about 3,000 people, if you count the lifting people, the number is about 12,500 people.

This means that the Ming Dynasty now has 15,500 privileged gentry classes, not 15,500 people, but 15,500 families, and in these 15,500 families, an intertwined network of relationships has been formed.

Zhang Juzheng changed the law, and finally sorted out the concealed land to 1.16 billion mu, and when he arrived in the Chongzhen Dynasty, he lost nearly half of it.

The problem of the gentry, Emperor Chongzhen knows, but he is also in a dilemma, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen, just like Jiang Guangtou, he also knows that the government is corrupt and rotten, but the question is, what can he do?

Anti-corruption, the death of the party.

Do not fight corruption and destroy the country.

In front of Emperor Chongzhen, it is actually just a road, and it is death both horizontally and vertically.

After seeing the strength of the Ning Navy and seeing the re-creation of the Ning Navy, the existence of the Guan Ning Army was unnecessary, and Emperor Chongzhen was just a test to embezzle the Liao salary and prepare to reward the Ning Navy.

At first, Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it, but the problem was that in fact, he had to believe that Liaojiao had become a tumor of the Ming Dynasty, and it was the Ming court that hurt it, but the fat one was the Manchu civil and military ministers, of course, the fat ones were actually the Manchu civil officials and some military attachés.

The Ming court's annual income is only six or seven million taels of silver, but the salary is almost six or seven million taels of silver, of which half of these six or seven million, or even more, go into the pockets of Wenchen.

Faced with this dilemma, he only needs to ask Cheng Shijie, hoping that this General Cheng, who can manage the army when he gets off the horse and can soothe the people, can solve his doubts.

When he heard Cheng Shijie's method, Emperor Chongzhen was still a little embarrassed and said: "No one has ever done such a thing as setting up a factory, which violates the ancestral system......

Cheng Shijie smiled: "Ancestral system? How much is left now? ”

On the Internet, there are many black fans who don't understand history, they have been in the black Ming Dynasty, and they are also in the black Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, the only emperor in history who can be compared to the four emperors of Qin Huang and Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, is only Zhu Yuanzhang and only Comrade Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang has suffered a lot, so he can think about the people in his own shoes, and has established a series of policies to safeguard the people's livelihood, and the social welfare system is also very sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew the truth that "the king is the boat, the people are the water, and the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat", so he hoped that his people could live a happy and secure life, so he attached great importance to the welfare development of the Ming Dynasty. For example, the pension policy, the Ming Dynasty pursued Confucianism and attached importance to the principle of governing the world with filial piety, so it also attached more importance to the issue of pension.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was not easy to provide for the elderly, his own parents did not escape the invasion of famine and starved to death on the streets, and Zhu Yuanzhang could not even bury his parents properly at that time, which was also Zhu Yuanzhang's inner regret.

Therefore, after he became emperor, he spread filial piety to his parents as a traditional virtue, requiring people to respect their elders and help the elderly in the Ming Dynasty to provide for their old age. He also issued a special decree requiring the whole society to respect and treat the elderly well, and all local officials should also visit the lives of the elderly from time to time with daily necessities.

In order to allow children to serve the elderly with peace of mind, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that if there are elderly people over 70 years old in the family, one person in the family can be exempted from miscellaneous labor and serve the elderly with peace of mind. In order to commend the children who love the elderly, the Ming government will also distribute clothes from time to time as a reward. For the elderly who have no children, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a nursing home, and all the elderly who have no children and cannot take care of themselves can enter the nursing home to live.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the ability to properly bury his parents, he established a free cemetery system after he ascended the throne to help the people bury their relatives properly. The Drain Garden has become a system that the government is responsible for, so that the old can be supported and the dead are buried, which is also strictly implemented according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions in the "Da Ming Law".

Zhu Yuanzhang also established the importance of medical construction, so he set up Huimin pharmacies in various places, and all the people who had no money to see a doctor could go to Huimin pharmacies to see a doctor and get medicine. Not only ordinary people, but also the border troops have also received free medical benefits, and the Huimin Pharmacy has run through the entire social welfare system and has achieved outstanding results in people's livelihood.

In addition, Comrade Lao Zhu was also the first emperor in history to propose free welfare housing, of course, his policies, no one implemented them at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the only person who implemented them was actually Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie's Ning Navy welfare system, in fact, many of them originated from the welfare system at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the children of fallen soldiers are raised by the imperial court, the children of fallen soldiers can be hereditary (the Ning Navy did not implement this article), beheading the enemy can reward the field, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, can be promoted and made a fortune, and the fallen soldiers have pensions, free medical care, a house to live in, etc., which is actually part of the welfare system of the early Ming Dynasty guard system.

Emperor Chongzhen also knew that the ancestral system had been almost destroyed, and the current ancestral system only had one function left, which was in line with the interests of Wenchen, and the ancestral system was farting, not attaching to the interests of the Wenchen group, and the ancestral system would block the arrow, which could also be said to be a night pot, when it was useful, it was taken out and used, and when it was useless, it was thrown aside to make ashes.

There are too many disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty, so why not so much?

Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "It's good to set up a factory, but ...... Who knows what factories to run to make money and what factories not to make? If the factory is not profitable, the craftsmen have nothing to eat, and the farming ...... is abandoned."

"Doing business, there must be risks, as the so-called higher the risk, the greater the return, everyone will do the business without losing money, is there still a profit?"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "What factory makes money, what factory doesn't make money, they figure it out themselves before they do it, why should Your Majesty worry?" Just fish them over, give them a piece of land with no cultivation value, let them build a factory, and then collect tax management fees from the factory and collect garbage disposal fees! ”

"Kaizi!"

Emperor Chongzhen asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's just that people are stupid and have a lot of money!"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "Those gentry, in fact, most of them are Kaizi, now natural disasters and man-made disasters, either drought or rain and flooding, the risk of farming is very high, let them set up factories, there are many benefits to setting up factories." If you want to build a factory, you have to have land, right? Gotta get bricks, right? Gotta tile, right? Gotta have wood, right? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Not bad! ”

"Also, you need people to build a factory, right? Only people can build factories, right? In this way, the people who have the land make money, the brick and tile workshops make money, the lumberjacks make money, and the local plasterers have a bite to eat. If more factories are built and the brick and tile workshops are doing well, they will definitely have to recruit more talents to be busy, which is equivalent to absorbing the surplus labor. In the end, so many factories, they have to pay taxes, right? ”

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "The more factories you run and the more money you make, the more taxes the government can collect." In this way, the people who set up the factories made money, the people who did not have land had food to eat, and the government received more taxes. ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "The people have gone to work, and the Liukou will ......"

"Not only is it difficult to recruit soldiers, but also those gentry and landlords are not easy to recruit tenants, and the commission will definitely be greatly increased, so that the income from farming will be much thinner, and I believe that many landlords will lose interest in farming!"

Cheng Shijie patiently explained: "Since then, a virtuous circle has been formed, farming does not make money, and landlords can only run factories, so that more people will have land to plant?" In the final analysis, it is still a matter of the size of the cake, the current cake is too small, even if it is not enough for one person to stuff the teeth, but if it is made ten times bigger, a hundred times, one person will be full in one bite, and there is no need to grab it so fiercely! ”

Emperor Chongzhen hesitated and said, "Is there really so much benefit to running a factory? ”

"Of course, there are many benefits!"

Cheng Shijie did not tell Emperor Chongzhen that in later generations, the Chinese population exceeded 1.4 billion, and it has been growing, but the arable land has not increased by an inch, but has been decreasing, but there has been no chaos, what does it rely on?

It relies on the words "world factory". The factories that have sprung up all over the country provide farmers with another way to get rich besides farming, and the income from working in factories is ten times that of farming, and the problem of food and clothing can be solved by relying on this salary.

If we still rely on agriculture as we did in the past, and rely on 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land to support the 1.3 billion people, even if we calculate the yield per mu at 2,000 catties, the per capita income will only be more than 1,000 yuan.

Of course, if that is the case, war is inevitable. This is the law of survival, natural selection, and the poor and stunned Chinese are the most terrible.

When industry develops to a certain extent, the industrial tax will completely replace the agricultural tax, and the agricultural tax can be abolished, and even some subsidies can be given to the peasants, which is a great good thing for the peasants.

Emperor Chongzhen still had some doubts, and said uncertainly: "If the factory is really so profitable, I'm afraid that no one wants to farm, so wouldn't it be a waste of agriculture?" Nongsang is the fundamental ...... of the country"

"It's scarce and expensive! Like this kind of mutton, in the grassland, there is no green vegetable and salted fish is expensive, and in the coastal zone, salted fish is not as expensive as green vegetables and grain. ”

"Besides, if there are more people who run factories, they will no longer make money, and growing food may be more profitable than running factories! Of course, not everyone can afford to run a factory! To run a factory, you have to buy land, build factories, buy machinery, recruit workers, spend too much money, set up more factories, more people come to work, and more people eat, so that the prices of grain and vegetables will naturally rise, and farming is still profitable. Since it is profitable, is it necessary to use it for fear that no one will do it? ”

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen realize that he had read a lot of books, and it was useless at all.

Of course, he was embarrassed to tell Cheng Shijie.

"Listen to your words, I have ten years left!"

Emperor Chongzhen lamented that he was too much worse than Cheng Shijie.

However, Cheng Shijie knew that it was useless for him to tell Emperor Chongzhen the logic of economic development, because Emperor Chongzhen was different from him, Emperor Chongzhen was dancing in shackles, but Cheng Shijie was not.

Cheng Shijie is in control of the army, and this military group already has its own interests, first of all, the Ning Navy merchant group headed by Xie Jinglin has begun to take the lead in expanding.

After Cheng Shijie's defeat of Jiannu, Xie Jinglin went to North Korea in the name of Cheng Shijie's special envoy and received a high-standard reception, and he set his sights on North Korea's iron ore, because Cheng Shijie once told him that North Korea's iron ore resources are very rich, which is the first iron ore in Asia.

Xie Jinglin didn't know the concept of Asia, but he knew that this iron ore was bigger than all the iron ore in Daming, so he would cooperate with North Korea and let North Korea sell the mined iron ore to Daming, that is, Cheng Shijie.

When it comes to North Korea, most of them think of being closed, backward, poor, mysterious and hard, because of the majority of mountainous areas, North Korea is very rich in natural resources, with nearly 200 kinds of useful underground mineral resources, such as ferrous metal minerals such as iron ore and non-ferrous metal minerals such as gold, silver, lead, zinc, etc., and the reserves of graphite and magnesite rank among the top in the world.

It can be said that it is a country lying on the BRICS. But the problem is that the current king of North Korea, Li Liang, did not know that when Xie Jinglin arrived in Pyongyang, Li Liang was actually no longer in North Korea, and he was invited by the Ming Emperor to go to Beijing to participate in the victory of the prisoners.

For North Korea, it is an instinctive choice to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, when the Dajin Kingdom is thriving, even if the Ming Dynasty wins less and loses more, but North Korea still does not dare to completely fall to the Jin State, until December of the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), Huang Taiji personally conquered Korea, and Shen Shikui, the last general soldier of the Dongjiang Army, was waiting for him.

In April of the tenth year of Chongzhen, during the second battle, the Dongjiang army on Phi Island was defeated, and the general soldier Shen Shikui was captured alive. Maforta said, "Why don't you kneel?" Shen Shikui said, "How can I kneel?" Kill me! Mafuta told him to take off his clothes, and Shen Shikui said, "Why should I take off my clothes?" Your habit is to kill them and wear their clothes, and after you kill me you can wear my bloody clothes, so why should I take off my clothes for you? "Mafuta was furious and ordered Shen Shikui to be pushed out and beheaded, and he was under the banner"

At this time, Korea officially surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

As a small country, the reaction to strength is actually more sensitive, even if the Ming Dynasty broke through the pass in the second year of Chongzhen, the defeat of the Daling River in the fourth year of Chongzhen, and the defeat of the Dalinghe in the fourth year of Chongzhen, and the defeat of the Jiannu in the seventh year of Chongzhen, in every case of defeat in the war, North Korea has actually always believed that the Ming Dynasty has the strength to turn the tide of the war.

Of course, in history, they did not wait for the Ming Dynasty to turn the tide and recover the old rivers and mountains, however, at the same time as the victory in Baliwan, Haizhou, Li Liang, who received the news, sent a congratulatory letter to Emperor Chongzhen as soon as possible.

Xie Jinglin went to North Korea, there are two things, the first thing, officially through North Korea, in order to protect the security of North Korea, the Ming Governor of Liaodong, Cheng Shijie, the Duke of Haiguo, incorporated the Dongjiang Army, and established the Ninghai Navy Phi Dao Division, which is specifically responsible for protecting the safety of the Yalu River, considering that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yalu River will be frozen, and the Yalu River is not enough to serve as a barrier for North Korea.

To this end, Cheng Shijie, the general of Haiguo and Zheng, prepared to take over the seven towns of Huining, Qingyuan, Zhongcheng, Qingxing, Wencheng, and Funing Gongshan, and set up a garrison of 10,500 people in seven bureaus to prevent Jiannu from invading Korea.

Whether this matter is successful or not, Cheng Shijie did not inform North Korea in the official name, Xie Jinglin is just a businessman, if North Korea does not agree.

Well, Jiannu will definitely attack North Korea.

If agreed, then these seven cities and North Xianning Province will be used as the base of the Ning Navy to defend the southeast coast of Yalu.

When North Korea was backed by the Ming Dynasty, it not only had relative autonomy, whether it was the Japanese in the south or the Jiannu in the northeast, the intention of getting involved in North Korea was too obvious.

Especially during this time, North Korea was scared by Jiannu.

How can you disagree.

Not only did they agree to the garrison of the Ning Navy, but they also agreed to bear the food and salary of the Ning Navy stationed in Korea, and each soldier was paid 189,000 taels of silver per month, as well as 200,000 stone of grain and 50,000 stone of forage.

……

Shenyang City, Dajin Palace.

It is said that it is a palace, but in fact, this scale is really not big. The Forbidden City in Beijing covers an area of 720,000 square meters, or about 1,090 acres of land. The imperial palace in Shenyang covers an area of 60,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 90 acres and nine points of land. It's only one-twelfth the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Speaking of which, Cheng Shijie is located in the General Military Mansion of Jinzhou City, which occupies one-eighth of Jinzhou City, of course, now Jinzhou City has become the largest city in Liaodong, and the scale of the city is even larger than Dengzhou City, in terms of population and city size, it is not weaker than Kaifeng, Xi'an, Luoyang and other large cities.

Cheng Shijie's Ning Navy General Military Mansion now covers an area of more than 600 acres of land, more than 300,000 square meters, almost a quarter of the Forbidden City.

Of course, this is not Cheng Shijie's private residence, but an official office, which arranges the Supervision of the Military Highway and the Military Affairs Administration of the Ning Navy, as well as the current General Staff and General Logistics Department.

But there are actually many houses that are much larger than the Shenyang Imperial Palace, just like the ancestral residence of the Zhang family in Laiyang and so on.

At this time, in Shenyang City, almost every household was mourning, hanging everywhere with a hundred filial piety, and the whole city was snow-white, of course, this was not because of snow, but because there were too many people dead.

In the past, when Shenyang City was approaching the New Year, it would be very lively, with Mongolians from the Mongolian steppe, Koreans from North Korea, and many Japanese people, of course, there were also representatives of Jin merchants, and some Mongolians came to visit relatives, and some were doing business.

All in all, very lively.

However, the current figure of Shenyang City is almost extinct, and there are many fewer Han and Mongolians, giving people a feeling that it is not what it used to be.

Huang Taiji has fallen ill since the retreat from Liaoyang, and after being ill for nearly a month, he finally relieved his breath, walked to the street, and looked at the cold street, Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel sad.

But the question is, who made Dajin lose the Battle of Baliwan?

In fact, it is nothing to lose this battle, Dajin has been crisscrossing Liaodong for more than 30 years, and it is not that he has not lost the battle, but ...... But lose or lose, don't lose so many people!

In the first battle of Baliwan, more than 40,000 Jurchen soldiers alone were killed, more than 10,000 Mongols were hung, more than 8,000 surrendered, and 120,000 troops before and after, and only 40,000 people escaped back in the end.

After the battle of Liaoyang, North Korea announced that it would become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty again, and kicked the alliance with Dajin into the Yalu River.

Of course, Dajin was so angry, and Huang Taiji was even more eager to wash the Korean Peninsula in blood, but this matter can only be thought about, although there are more than 40,000 soldiers in Jiannu, but the problem is that they lack food and grass, no supplies, and incomplete armor, not to mention that Ning Haijun will not watch them attack North Korea, even if Ning Haijun sits on the wall and watches, they have no ability to go to North Korea.

The reaction of the Mongols is not so exaggerated, so far no Mongolian tribe has announced the severance of relations with Dajin, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if Jiannu is defeated again, there are more than 40,000 people and horses, only 20,000 elites need to be dispatched, and the Mongols can be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Although the Mongols did not dare to break away from Dajin and betray Dajin, the problem is that the Mongols began to change their sex, and in the face of the Jurchen warriors, the Mongol warriors dared to show their knives at them, and they would start fighting if they didn't say a word.

The most nerve-wracking thing for Huang Taiji is that Fan Yongdou's family was copied, although Jin merchants still dare to transport goods to Daikin, but the problem is that the price of these goods has increased by three or five times compared with the past, and some are even more than ten times.

Now in Shenyang City, even the paper money burned for the dead has risen more than tenfold, so that every family in the slave building does not save some money, and some even can't afford to burn the paper money.

The price of cloth, grain, salt, tea, and porcelain has risen sharply, which has made Huang Taiji very troubled, and all these problems are due to the fact that the Battle of Baliwan shattered the myth of Dajin's "Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000 and cannot be fought when it is full of 10,000", and Dajin Baqi is no longer an invincible opponent in the eyes of the defeated generals of the past!

The grassland people's intuition of strength is very accurate, once they find that the power they have taken refuge in begins to weaken, they will immediately turn their faces, and the rebellion is light, and attacking them in groups is the royal road to the survival of the steppe wolf clan!

Now Dajin has not yet reached the point of being attacked by those who have milk and mothers, and the prestige of decades of conquest has made the steppe wolf clan jealous, but with the passage of time, this capital will be slowly eaten away.

Daikin must achieve a major victory over the Ming army before this capital is lost, in order to prove that he is still a powerful Daikin and deter centrifugal allies, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

There is no way, the disadvantage of establishing a country by force is that once the surrounding forces find out that your force is not as strong as they imagined, they will immediately have two hearts, and only by constantly winning can the position be stable, so even if it is difficult to fight, you have to fight.

The cannon he made an appointment with tears would be finished.

Soon, Huang Taiji found a target, that is, the Khalkha Mongols, because the Uzhumuqin, Sunit, Haozit and other departments under the command of Lin Dan Khan took refuge in the Chechen Khan in order to escape the war.

Huang Taiji has no choice, they have no materials for the winter, and there is no grain and grass for the winter, and the remaining grain in Shenyang City is less than 50,000 stones, but for the small 200,000 Jurchen tribes, how long can this little grain be eaten?

Twenty or thirty days at most, and after twenty or thirty days? They have only one way to die.

If in the Central Plains Dynasty, in this situation, the stability is the mainstay, and the Jiannu who can establish the country by force can only be based on fighting: "The Chechen Khan dares to take in the remnants of Lin Dan Khan, and he is disrespectful to the king of this Khan, and he must send troops to conscript!" ”

At Dorgon's behest, Dordor shouted, "Yes, you must give them a little color!" ”

Huang Taiji ignored the initial recovery from a serious illness, and hurriedly took advantage of the strength of the Jiannu warriors to rush out of the nest and send troops to the Chechen Khan.

……

On December 26 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, although it was snowing in the sky and the cold wind was howling, the cold wind could not stop people's enthusiasm, but the people in the prefectures and counties around Beijing dragged their families and mouths, and even ran to Beijing in a hurry, and some even ran two or three hundred miles day and night to chase to Beijing, specifically to see the ceremony held by Emperor Chongzhen to sacrifice prisoners.

In fact, Cheng Shijie has been in the capital for more than half a month, and he has been idle, and the real reason why Emperor Chongzhen has not held a ceremony is for a few international friends.

These international friends, the first to arrive in Beijing was the king of Joseon Yi Liang, the second to arrive was the Ryukyu king Shangfeng Wang, Shangfeng King is more miserable, before the succession, as early as the 44th year of Wanli, Shangfeng went to the Satsuma domain as a hostage, in 1621 because the king of Shangning had no children and succeeded to the throne.

During his tenure as king, he had been bullied by the Satsuma Domain, and this time thanks to Zheng Zhilong, a blacktail ship under Zheng Zhilong's command sank in the sea area controlled by the Satsuma Domain, in fact, Zheng Zhilong also knew that this was an accident, and it was normal for the ship to sink on the sea.

But the problem is that Zheng Zhibao lost money in the gamble, so he had to ask the Satsuma Domain to give him an explanation, in order to coerce the Satsuma Domain, Zheng Zhibao led more than 100 large and small warships to shell the coast of the Satsuma Domain.

Shang Fengpo was not in a hurry to take a boat to the north, and arrived in Beijing on December 16 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, asking Emperor Chongzhen to administer justice to him.

In addition to these two overseas vassal kings, there were also envoys of Lin Dan Khan, who couldn't get along, and several tribal leaders.

The area outside Anding Gate is crowded with people, and the water is impassable, and the most terrible thing is that people keep pouring in. This is still since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty have once again erupted into such a frenzy for the army to win the war.

In order to hold this grand ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen basically smashed the pot and sold iron, but when he climbed the city tower and looked at the crowds of people below, he felt that the money was well spent.

The Mongols who have been as good as a pair of pants with Jiannu, in fact, most of them are grass on the wall, last year's battle of the Daling River, the Ming lost 50,000 or 60,000 troops, which can be described as miserable, but the problem is that the Ming is too powerful, last year was slapped by Jiannu, and this year it organized an army of 100,000 to press Jiannu to the ground and rub it.

With the Battle of Baliwan, the Battle of Liaozhong, the Battle of Liaoyang, these battles, only 40,000 of the 120,000 troops of Huang Taiji remained, this news, in the Mongolian steppe, the more outrageous, some people said that Jiannu was almost wiped out, only more than 10,000 men and horses fled back to Shenyang.

These Mongolian wall grasses immediately saw the problem.

Daming, or that Daming, can be according to the Ming Dynasty that Mongolia rubbed on the ground, Jiannu won countless times, Daming lost countless times, Daming can afford to lose, Jiannu is just a failure, they can't bear it.

These wall grasses hurriedly sent people with gifts, went to Beijing City to apologize to Emperor Chongzhen, they did not come empty-handed, but with war horses, furs, and precious treasures, Emperor Chongzhen accidentally received tens of thousands of good horses, which was a little blood.

These wall grasses said that they would join forces with Daming to deal with Jiannujin as before.

What does this mean? This means that Daming's prestige has grown, and it has severely suppressed Jiannu Jin.

Emperor Chongzhen, who loves face, was naturally very happy.

Of course, he also knew that these guys might just want to come over to get some benefits, so he offered to let them visit the military parade.

As noon, that is, the auspicious time arrived, the thick bell rang, and the military parade was about to begin.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

One salute after another was fired, and although it was only a salute, the momentum still frightened the barbarians.

There are more than 200 cannons in total, one cannon represents a year, and the ups and downs of more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty have been condensed into the rumbling cannons.

Amid the rumbling of artillery, a large group of prisoners with money rattails were brought up, these were Jiannu warriors who had been captured by the Ming army on the battlefield.

Some of them were captured in Haizhou when they vomited and diarrhea because they ate sprouted potatoes, some were captured in the Battle of Baliwan, some were captured when they ran to Guangning Weilu and were tired and hungry, and some were captured due to injuries.

No matter what kind of captives, they all have a common characteristic, hearing the sound of artillery, frightened legs and stomachs, in the battle of Baliwan, in the battle of Guangning, in the battle of Liaozhong, in the battle of Liaoyang, the artillery of the Ning navy, mixed with the power of destroying the world and the earth, blew them out of the body, so that their memories are still fresh.

The rumbling sound frightened them, their hearts and galls were torn, their faces were like earth, and some of them even went incontinent.

The officials and people of the Ming Dynasty who watched the ceremony were stunned for a moment when they saw the cowardice of these Jiannu warriors, and then burst into laughter, which was like a sharp knife, repeatedly poking the hearts of the Jurchen warriors, so that they could not raise their heads.
