It is spring in the north, the most pleasant time of the four seasons. All the trees have sprouted their delicate buds, the winter jasmine flowers beside the fence are clustered together like countless bright yellow stars, and the morning glory vines are silent.
Wuxi climbed up the mottled old wall to its middle. Countless unknown flowers were dotted on the green velvet grass, and the bright sunshine attracted countless bees and butterflies. Purple swallows murmured on the eaves.
Weaving back and forth, holding mud in their mouths to build nests, making chirping sounds...
The people of Beijing had received the imperial edict from the government two days earlier. At this time, every house was salivating with flowers, and cigarettes were lingering on the desks. The emperor's entry into Beijing was such a big event. Being able to see the "sacred face" with your own eyes would last a lifetime.
Glory. Therefore, the area from Zhengyangmen Guandi Temple to Dongzhimen was already crowded with people, all of whom were watching the excitement.
It wasn't until daybreak that I heard the bells and drums ringing in unison, and the music was loud. I couldn't see the yellow umbrellas and flags meandering over. At the front was the canopy, with the bright yellow nine-dragon crank cover at the beginning, followed by the green purple zhizhi cover, the straight-handled nine dragon cover, and the pure canopy.
Purple and pure yellow large caps followed behind, pouring out in a swaggering manner.
The younger ones had never seen this scene before, and just looked at it with confused eyes, while the old people knelt on the ground and pointed out quietly: These are the double fans of the yellow dragon, the double fans of the red dragon, and that is Yu Bao... the letter banner, the leopard tail and the dragon head.
poles, dragon flags fluttering in the breeze.
After the introduction, there was another large gold scroll embroidered with auspicious birds and animals, such as phoenix, flying luan, crane, peacock, yellow swan, white pheasant, red bird, falcon, vibrating heron, song kite, wandering scale, colorful bird.
Lion, Bai Ze, Jiao Rui, red bear, yellow bear, Tian Lu, warding off evil spirits, rhinoceros, Tian horse, Tian deer... At this point, we saw the emperor's golden chariot.
It is said to be a golden chariot, but it is different. Instead of being pulled by people, it is driven by eight horses. It is also magnificently decorated, with a golden nine-dragon roof, four dragon pillars, double phoenix trim, and tassels and gauze curtains have been raised high.
, Zhu Yongxing sat firmly, waving to everyone amidst a tsunami-like sound of "Long live, long live".
Although the ceremony has been reduced a lot, it is still the most solemn one. This is due to political considerations, a solemn declaration to the people, and a political signal. Just like the city entry ceremony in history
, showing a high-spirited and inspiring attitude and strong confidence to China and foreign countries.
On the left and right of the golden chariot are guards with swords, followed by the imperial guards, holding five-color gold flags, knotted velvet, yellow velvet, lying melons, standing melons, stirrups and drums, broadswords, bows and arrows, leopard-tailed spears, muskets, bright, shining, and end.
It is brilliant and brilliant.
The emperor was so young, so strong, and so friendly, not to mention the extraordinary feat of driving out the Tartars and reviving China. The people who greeted him were noisy and excited. Two rows of men, women, old and young knelt and prostrated in the street, and the mountains roared and the tsunami roared.
They sang loudly: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
What kind of person is the prince who serves as a minister, what kind of person goes out to police and walks in and out of the house to ring the bells! Only the incomparable honor in this "big position", the majesty of life and death that can influence people's honor and disgrace with a word, and the mighty power of the emperor of Kyushu is awarded by an imperial edict.
It's really exciting! When you go out, you ride horses, and when you enter, you enter the high hall. When you shout in the hall, hundreds of people come down the steps, and those who see it stand sideways and look sideways - people above others. This feeling is really irreplaceable.
.
Zhu Yongxing tilted his head slightly and smiled in a reserved manner. He waved his hands solemnly. If there was a microphone, he would definitely say a few words about the hard work of this and the hard work of that.
"It's so lively!" Rou'er and Jia'er were sitting in the carriage and couldn't help but secretly opened the curtain. Their two little heads were squeezed together and looked out.
With a husband like this, what else can a woman ask for? As they were driving the chariot, Mengzhu, Long'er and Duan Wan'er all showed happy and proud smiles. That was their husband, the true Dragon Emperor, the King of China.
Although he left a little later than Zhu Yongxing, Zhu Yongxing stopped and left in order to understand the sentiments of the people. Mengzhu and others were pregnant, so they just sat on the boat and drove along the canal. When they were about to arrive in Tianjin, they reunited with Zhu Yongxing.
From south to north, Zhu Yongxing took a quick look at the flowers. Although it was not complete, he got a general view. It is true that the northern land is declining, but recovering from it is not as difficult as imagined. The key is that there are other lands that can be adjusted.
Like Sichuan and Meihe, you can quickly see benefits by settling the people down, instead of having to wait for relief from the court.
Therefore, Zhu Yongxing was more confident, thinking that one year would be enough to recover, and he would have the money, food and materials to continuously attack the Qing Dynasty. After all, the more the war went deeper into Liaodong, the more difficult it was for the navy to play its role, and it all relied on land transportation.
There's a lot of pressure.
With this grand entry into the city, it can not only boost the morale of the people, but also send a signal to the outside world. I am here and I will not leave. The attention of the Ming court has officially turned to the north. Whether it is the Tatars or the
Mongolian tribes, please be careful!
The mighty procession split into two on the long street. Zhu Yongxing and others went straight to the Forbidden City, while the concubines and palace officials went to Zhongnanhai.
Although Zhu Yongxing decided not to live in the Forbidden City, major ceremonies still had to be held there, and today, it was even more important to create a grand occasion of all nations coming to court in order to frighten foreigners.
From the main hall to the north of Jinshui Bridge, there are the Gate of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe, and the Hall of Baohe. The main gates have red lacquered copper nails, and the evil assistant is holding a big copper ring in his hand. They are all tightly sealed. The two rows of officials
From east to west Zhaomu, walk step by step through the Zhenshun Gate of Zhaode Gate, go through the middle left gate, then the left gate, and then the middle right gate, then the right gate to enter Tianjie.
In front of Hongxi Pavilion and Tiren Pavilion, on the empty stage of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a bronze chime-shaped grade mountain extends from the ninth grade to the north, leading directly to the "No. 1 Palace in the World" - the Hall of Supreme Harmony. From the corridor
At each entrance and exit of the left and right wing gates, every three steps there is a guard with bright armor, standing on the ground like nails. In front of the three towering halls, bronze tripods, bronze turtles, bronze cranes, and bronze crotches are all burning incense.
, the curling royal fragrance slowly spreads out from the mouth of Guihe, and it seems that there is purple light flowing everywhere, adding a sacred and solemn atmosphere to the Dragon Tower and Phoenix Tower.
So majestic! Batter, the envoy of the Chahar Ministry, could no longer describe this atmosphere with poor words. With this mood, he obediently walked step by step with other foreign envoys under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.
The zither, the sheng, the bamboo flute, the flute, the yellow bell, the bells and the bells arranged the rhythm, and the music was loud. In the deep and calm singing, Emperor Zhaowu Zhu Yongxing stepped out from the west pavilion gate and walked slowly towards the throne in the center of the palace.
With a peaceful smile on his face, he stood in front of the throne and listened for a moment, then sat down in front of the throne.
Nothing can replace the feeling of being at the top of Mount Tai and making the world smaller. He felt that his fatigue, sleepiness, frustration, excitement and depression for many days were all dissolved into the sound of the bells and drums.
.
"Happy!" The elastic voice awakened Zhu Yongxing from his indulged reverie, and he heard an official from the Ministry of Rites shout loudly: "Kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to my emperor!"
"Long live!" All the courtiers in the palace kowtowed to the ground, danced and worshiped three times, and shouted "Long live, long live!"
Zhu Yongxing stretched out his hands and said in a deep voice: "All the ministers bowed their heads without courtesy. All the ministers love you, and the King of Wei gave me a seat."
"Long live thanks." Everyone stood up and sat down on a dozen tea tables and small chairs in front of the east screen of the throne, each thinking secretly.
"Dear ministers!" Zhu Yongxing stopped smiling and gained confidence, "Now is the first year of Zhaowu. Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors and the help of loyal ministers and righteous men, the Ming Dynasty can be rejuvenated. I want to work together with you, along the
Taizu, Emperor Gao, and his martial arts and martial arts, Mo Lie and Hong Guang, the saintly virtues of our ancestors in the Ming Dynasty, revived the decline of hundreds of years and created a prosperous era. From today on..." The sonorous, powerful and ups and downs of the voice echoed in the hall.
, stirring.
……………
England, France, Siam, Japan, Korea, Shuqiu, Chenla, Annan, Myanmar... Battelle walked out of the hall in a daze. Compared with these envoys who came to submit their credentials, Chahar's tribe was already counted.
Nothing, even he felt ashamed of himself.
Others who shared the same sentiments as Battelle were the Duke of Khalkha Chuizhabu who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty together with Chahar, the envoy sent by Zamuchan, the king of Naiman Banner, and the Qinghai Mongolian Heshuote who came to observe the situation and inquire about the news.
The envoy of the Wulat tribe in the Hetao area.
The Chahar tribe is in an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, while the Heshuote tribe and the Wulat tribe have an interest in the Ming Dynasty. What will the northwest Ming army do next and what is the Ming court's plan?
Xu Yi Shi Yi still has to fight with swords. These are all things that need to be understood clearly.
In this way, the Mongolian tribes were divided into three echelons according to their relationship with the Ming Dynasty. The Chahar and other tribes were the closest and received the most benefits; the Heshuote tribe moved westward from the Volga River Basin to Xinjiang, and then moved westward
As far as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they had no grudges against the Ming Dynasty; while the Urad tribes took refuge with the Manchus and conquered Korea, Khalkha, Ming Jinzhou, Songshan, and Jizhou, all with troops.
However, the current situation of the Wulat tribe is not good. The Naiman and Ongniute tribes within it have a grudge in their hearts because they have been punished. They took advantage of the Chahar tribe to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and supported it. After the loss of strength, the Northwest Ming Dynasty
The military has advanced towards the Hetao area, forcing it to rebalance its operations in order to ease the current tense situation.
From these aspects, Zhu Yongxing's grand and majestic ceremony played a great role. It was equivalent to clearly telling the envoys of the Mongolian tribes that the Ming Dynasty was powerful, reaching as far as the far west, and then
Nearby, Ming Dynasty received help from various countries.
Of course, deterrence is one aspect, political means of inducement and military means of strong military coercion are also indispensable. Of course, for the various Mongolian tribes, the Ming court also adopted a policy of differentiated treatment based on interests and close relationships.
But one thing cannot be changed, that is, issues related to national security will not be considered and no concessions will be made. The Hetao area, which has always been a battleground between the Central Plains dynasty and the nomadic strategists, is one of them. Because of Zhu Di's
The mistake was to withdraw Daning Dusi and Dongshengwei to the interior, which resulted in the loopholes in the complete defense system of the northern border that had to be filled.
