Chapter seven hundred and seventy third offering prisoners
(Thanks to book friend "Book friend 43075447" for support last month. My son took the high school entrance examination at the end of June, so he didn't have time to go online. Thank you book friend!)
On September 18, the sixth year of Shenwu in the Ming Dynasty, before dawn, the streets outside Andingmen in the capital were like a downtown area. The yamen runners of the Shuntian Prefecture, including Daxing and Wanping counties, were dispatched to clean the streets inside and outside Andingmen, and clean the gutters on the roadside. After that, they used yellow sand to level the potholes on the road.
The citizens of Beijing are not surprised by this kind of thing. The emperor must be coming to deal with this. How dare they use the yellow sand mat? At the same time, some gossipers began to ask how the emperor came to Andingmen? What is Andingmen? It is the place where the imperial army still went to Desheng. Could it be that there was an army ahead to win?
The gossip fire of Beijing citizens was burning. Through various rumors, I learned that the Qing emperor who escaped half a month ago was caught outside his mouth. This time, he was going to hold a prisoner offering ceremony at Andingmen.
The citizens who learned this news were all happy. They were troubled by the Qing Dynasty in recent years. They not only paid money and grain, but also asked them to buy houses. Therefore, it was a welcome thing for Beijing citizens to see the unlucky problems of the Qing Dynasty aristocrats in the past.
Near noon, a group of Jinyiwei in bright yellow flying fish suits came to Andingmenwai Street to check the safety situation. The leader of Jinyiwei Ding Wei, who was next to Zhu Hongsan.
Ding Wei was injured in Fuzhou, and his face was covered with a big scar. His identity as a Jinyiwei guard, made people shudder. The county magistrates of Daxing and Wanping were nodding and bowing to Ding Wei's side under the leadership of the Tongzhi of Shuntian Prefecture.
Ding Wei looked around and said to the Tongzhi: "Can the 500-meter range be checked?"
"If you go back to the Lord of the Sect, you have already checked it, and there are no suspicious people waiting!" The Tongzhi was a fifth-rank official and was from a Jinshi. He was a level higher than the Jinyiwei's tutor. He didn't have to be so inferior. But there was no way, who told him to be a surrendered official? Shuntian Prefecture was originally a Manchu, and ran away with Shunzhi. He, a Han Tongzhi, had no choice but to stay. Fortunately, the new emperor was not good to their surrendered ministers, and as long as there was no big mistake, they would usually use their original position.
But this Tongzhi knew that his identity was different. The Jinyiwei Fu was a confidant of the emperor. I heard that he was from Wuchang County, Huguang, and he was even more a direct line among the direct line. It would be better not to provoke such people.
Ding Wei looked around, pointed to several two-story buildings on the side of the road and asked, "Can anyone be left to monitor the buildings?"
"Mr. Zhenfu, where has it been checked? There is no suspicious place. Do you still need to keep someone?"
Ding Wei heard the Tongzhi say this and said angrily: "Fuck, where is it only more than 100 meters away from Zhengyangmen? What if someone hurts His Majesty with a musket? Go quickly, there are five people left in each small building!"
The co-in-law cursed in his heart: Your mother! Now, except for you Huguang guys in the entire capital, there are muskets? But I didn't dare to say anything when I thought so, so I had to order people to garrison according to Ding Wei's request.
This time the prisoner offering was different from before. Zhu Hongsan couldn't help Beijing citizens watching from the side, so the defense work must be done well. All citizens watching on both sides of the road must be carefully closed, and at the same time, they must be five hundred meters away from the emperor to prevent anyone from hurting His Majesty with firearms.
After all the preparations were completed, Ding Wei returned to the palace to report to the emperor Zhu Hongsan, and then Zhu Hongsan arrived at Andingmen under the protection of the Two Thousand Jinyiweis.
As the Huangluo umbrella appeared on Andingmen, the citizens on both sides of the road knew that the emperor was coming, so they knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live!
Zhu Hongsan sat on the imperial throne that had been prepared long ago and said to Lee Seung-en: "Let's start!"
As twenty military men shouted loudly, "The offering of prisoners began!" The first time in the Shenwu Dynasty was also the first time that the offering of prisoners officially began in nearly a hundred years since the three major expeditions of Wanli.
The first one to play was the two thousand heavy cavalry led by Li Yuanyin and Zhao Hu. These people represent the soldiers who have made meritorious service! They are the protagonists of the ceremony today, especially the tall and powerful Zhao Hu. As soon as he appeared on the street, there was a burst of exclamation!
"Isn't this a black bear?"
"Is that a horse? Why is it as big as an elephant?"
Li Yuanyin and Zhao Hu came to the city gate, knelt on one knee and saluted, and then a eunuch read out the imperial decree loudly!
When Li Yuanyin heard this, he felt a little sad. As Zhao Hu estimated, he only gave him some land and property, but there was no official position. Zhao Hu was similar to Li Yuanyin, and he also gave him 1,000 acres of land in Dongpingzhou, Shandong, and there was no other one.
After receiving the order, Li Yuanyin and Zhao Hu climbed up to the city tower and thanked the emperor for his reward again.
Zhu Hongsan looked at his two sons-in-law and smiled: "Haha, my good son-in-law, you have made great contributions this time. Tell me, what else do you want to reward?"
Li Yuanyin thought to himself: What else do I want? I still want to lead troops to fight! But Li Yuanyin said: "Father, I have been fighting in all directions in recent years and have been neglecting the princess. Now the world is peaceful. I want to go home and spend more time with the princess, please let me know!"
Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed when he heard Li Yuanyin's success, and said, "Since you think so, I will be sure. It's just right for Zhu Luo and Xiao Yuer to get less annoyed me!"
After receiving the emperor's permission, Li Yuanyin and Zhao Hu quickly thanked him, and after standing up, he would introduce the situation of the prisoners of war to the emperor.
Then the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard Division held the prisoner offering ceremony of the Qing nobles. The first group came up with Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the mother of the young Emperor Shunzhi. She, Huang Taiji's concubine, and Huang Taiji's underage children, came to the city gate together and knelt down to worship Emperor Zhu Hongsan. At the same time, the citizens of Beijing opened their eyes. They really didn't expect that they could see the Empress Dowager. This was enough to boast about their lives with their future generations!
Zhu Hongsan was very interested in the famous Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, but the city tower was dozens of meters below the city, so he could only see one outline clearly. Moreover, because of the turmoil in Xiaozhuang for more than ten days, Zhu Hongsan could not see clearly.
Zhu Hong waved his hand and called Li Chengen and said, "Old Li, I will send Huang Taiji and some concubines to the palace tonight. I will interrogate them in person!"
Li Chengen knew that the pervert emperor had no good intentions, so he had to bow and agree.
Next were the princes, princes, belles, and banner commanders of various Qing Dynasty. Zhu Hongsan was interested in women and chose a few pretty good-looking ones for Li Chengen to arrange for them to be sent to the palace, and the others were ignored.
Zhao Hu's surprise attack captured all the high-level officials of the Qing Dynasty in one go. Except for the little emperor, all the other senior officials were arrested, and their families were 50,000 or 60,000. Of course, Zhu Hongsan could not check them all, just check some of the main personnel. Next, read out the emperor's imperial edict, which is the arrangements for the Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Hongsan's imperial edict is comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict against the Mongolians. It is very simple, it is to treat you as much as you treat the Han people now! The imperial edict stipulates that all adult Manchurian men in the country, regardless of the internal and external customs, will be executed, and men under the age of twelve are castrated and sent to Luzon as slaves, and women will be distributed to those who have made meritorious services as slaves!
The imperial edict came to an imperial edict and the adult man of the Qing Dynasty was immediately taken outside the city by the imperial guards and executed immediately. The young and beautiful women were selected to reward meritorious officials. The remaining old and young were sold in the Nancheng market. As long as you have money, you can buy a noble lady on the Three Banners and go home and waste it at will. This temptation was too great. The men in the entire Beijing city immediately went home to raise money, and no matter how much they said, they had to make one to play.
Zhu Hongsan returned to the palace after watching the prisoner offering. He was not interested in cutting down the heads of these Manchu princes. He had to manage such a large country.
After returning to the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Hongsan immediately devoted himself to handling government affairs. Now that the cabinet ministers had not arrived yet, the entire Northern Zhili and Shandong affairs were suppressed by the emperor, and he was still responsible for millions of people in the northern provinces. In the past economic war, Zhu Hongsan ignored the lives and deaths of the northern people and actually smuggled food from the north. But that was the wartime. Now the northern people have become Zhu Hongsan's people, so he naturally has to worry about whether they can have enough food.
At this time, the importance of Zhu Hongsan's imperial edict during the Northern Expedition was revealed. All the Han officials under the Qing Dynasty in the north surrendered and retained their original positions. It was precisely because of these surrender factions that the entire north did not become a homeless land, and the southern grain transported from sea and canals could be handed over to the hands of hungry people in the north.
Although the south did not bring food such as rice, flour, but some undesirable things such as corn, potatoes, after all, there was no need to be hungry or sell children. So the situation in the north began to improve immediately, and the peasant armed forces from all over the country began to surrender, put down their swords and guns and returned to their hometown.
It was already dark after Zhu Hongsan handled government affairs. Zhu Hongsan looked at Li Chengen and asked, "Are you all arranged?"
Li Chengen knew that the emperor was asking about Huang Taiji's concubines, so he quickly replied: "Emperor, I will arrange to accompany the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty tonight!"
"Empress? Is Shunzhi married? Who is it?" Zhu Hongsan was still very excited. He thought that he would also arrest Concubine Dong E of Shunzhi this time.
But Li Chengen replied: "Emperor, the empress and the empress dowager are cousins of aunts and nephews, and are Meng Guqing, the daughter of the Khorqin Khan of Mongolia!"
It turns out they are aunts and nephews, which is not bad!
"How did you arrange other concubines?"
"Go back to the emperor, there are seven concubines who are still alive in Huang Taiji, but the great concubine of Yijing Namuzhong is too old and is already forty-five this year, so the servant will expel her! According to the different identities of the other concubines, they will accompany the emperor tomorrow and the next day!"
Zhu Hongsan nodded after hearing what Lee Chengen arranged well: "No, do they all have daughters?"
"When the emperor, there are a few who have daughters, but some of them are already married and are not among the prisoners!"
Zhu Hongsan heard Li Chengen say this and said lewdly, "Old Li, look at how many daughters are there, let them come with me together. I am weak-hearted and I don't care about the separation of people!"
Chapter completed!
