Chapter 277 Post-war Trouble (Twenty-three) Grand Suburban Welcome
In the 20th year of Wanli, September, Dingsi Shuo.
This day was an auspicious day selected by the Qin Tian Jian. The Qin Tian Jian reported it to the cabinet, and the cabinet forwarded it to the emperor. Finally, the emperor made a ruling and decided it as the day when the Emperor of Yuan Dynasty would triumphantly conquer the Yuan Dynasty and greet the emperor in the suburbs.
On that day, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty's economic strategy Gao Jiguang led his commander Qi Jiguang and other generals, deputy generals, staff generals, etc., as well as Han Naji, the king of Shunyi of the Jin Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and Qianshi Yildu, the governor of the left army.
Come to the court together.
During this period of time, the whole city was mobilized inside and outside the capital. Officials from Jingzhao Yin, Wanping and Daxing counties were busy, renovating and renovating everything they could see, and cleaning everything they could.
The sanitation responsibility of the workshop has been implemented at each household, and even the trees on the roadside have been hired to take care of it. It really shows people a "new look".
The palace was not easy either. The operation was even grander than the Spring Palace. It was tidied up inside and out. Talking about the details, many of the glazed tiles that were only slightly cracked were replaced directly this time and were actually used.
More than 30,000 kilograms of new tiles. The details were captured to such an extent that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who had not taken it seriously at first, could not help but become nervous or excited. They clearly felt that they were about to witness history.
The most amazing thing is that many of these actions came from the direct orders of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the orders of the Supervisor of Ceremonies... there is no doubt that they are the holy will. It can be seen that the emperor does not attach high importance to this matter, but an unusually high level.
.But what they didn’t know was that the emperor had not thought of this at first. He had accepted Chen Ju’s persuasion.
Chen Ju's original words were: "If this is not the case, how can we reward Situ's honor? If this is not the case, how can we honor His Majesty's merits?"
Zhu Yijun was greatly shocked, and immediately asked Chen Ju to make a big deal. Moreover, this time the emperor was extremely generous, and even asked the outer court not to say a word of nonsense - after all, the Chief of Ceremonies said that this expenditure would be funded by internal funds.
Bao Yuan, no fake foreign court.
In fact, Chen Ju's idea was not his own. He came up with this suggestion after secretly meeting with Huang Mengyu, who was already living in seclusion and "retiring from illness", and got Huang Mengyu's advice. As for whether there are experts behind Huang Mengyu, then
No one knows. In short, in order to show the style required by the emperor, the internal funds spent more than 70,000 taels of silver.
Of course, Zhu Yijun is really not short of a mere 70,000 taels now. Not to mention other things, his dividends from the Liaonan Salt Farm last year alone were as high as more than 290,000 taels. This year it will definitely exceed 300,000 taels.
of.
In addition to these styles, a lot of military preparations have also been made - of course, this refers to the ceremonial guard. First, the Jinyiwei in Beijing carefully selected and reorganized the ceremonial guard including the Han generals, and then
Someone was sent to inspect their armor, weapons, and some of the horses and equipment of the cavalry army.
To put it bluntly, if you look at appearance alone, even if the Imperial Guard, now known as the "No. 1 Army in the World", is placed in front of them, it can only be said that it is slightly better in terms of the number of cannons, but it is probably not at all in terms of glamor.
A grade.
Fortunately, the Jin Yiwei had been mixed for too long, and it was not easy to select such a group of handsome men. In the end, only 3,000 people were gathered as the "personal soldiers" closest to the emperor to decorate the scene. If there were more people, just to replace these batch of them
I'm afraid His Majesty the Emperor will have to spend a lot of money on the outfit.
Secondly, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also received some benefits. They were all issued with a new set of official uniforms and hats. The generals were even more happy and directly issued a new set of armor. This thing was really not cheap, and even the emperor refused to pick up the tab.
Instead, issues related to interfaces and official services are under the jurisdiction of the Accounts Department, and defaults are left to the Accounts Department.
Fortunately, the Ministry of Finance is one of our own. After Gao Pingshi left Beijing, Cheng Wen, the left minister of the Ministry of Finance, who actually "acted as Minister of the Ministry of Finance", accepted the offer without saying a word. The other officials were also very happy this time.
They cooperated, and no one raised any objections - well, after all, they are giving me clothes, so don't give them for free.
You must know that the official uniform system of the Ming Dynasty was very "Zhu Yuanzhang style", that is, the corresponding official uniform category. The court only issued one set. If your thing wears out, it's embarrassing, you have to make it yourself.
.Forget it, because this is not a common style, and the various regulations are very strict, so the sewing price is quite expensive.
So you see, Hai Rui's official uniform was mended and worn for so many years. It was really not just a show. With his old man's salary, if he stayed in the same position for a long time, he probably couldn't afford to change the official uniform.
In addition to these things, supplies must be prepared, including flags, drinks, food, and various supplies for temporary military camps (for the two Mongolian armies), etc., which must also be purchased in advance. As for rewards, not to mention the imperial guards
The reward from the army may be postponed for a while, and then it will be left to Gao Pragmatic himself. Anyway, he is responsible for the small amount of banknotes from the Ming Dynasty Federal Reserve.
However, the rewards given by the two Mongols cannot be given in vain like those of the Imperial Guards. After all, although the Ming Dynasty Federal Reserve is planning to set up a naturalization center, isn’t it too late? Therefore, the rewards from the Mongols can only be given in kind - in kind.
It's easier to handle. The Ming Dynasty has enough internal goods, and now the Ming Fed can buy goods with silver notes, which makes the turnover very easy. However, the money itself cannot be given, because the Ming Dynasty is also in short supply.
In fact, the emperor was also very surprised by this phenomenon. He had read the simplified version of the "financial report" that Gao pragmatic quietly handed to him. It stands to reason that the amount of silver flowing in from overseas every year is almost astronomical, but the Ming Dynasty actually
He always acted like he didn't have enough money.
Gao pragmatism explained to him words like "deflation", but he still didn't understand the principle thoroughly, so he had to conclude that Gao pragmatism said: Anyway, the productivity of Ming Dynasty developed, and it developed so fast that it created
The value of the things is too high, and the total amount of money cannot satisfy it.
As for what to do...of course he didn't know, but it didn't matter. The emperor had the simplest idea: Just leave these matters to Gao Pragmatic, and Pragmatic can always handle it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hundreds of civil and military officials, royal guards, and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Beijing Production and Construction Corps who also put on the latest and best mandarin duck uniforms basically formed the suburban welcome
team.
These teams were placed on the western outskirts of the capital city. They were as red as lava paving the ground. From a distance, the surrounding mountains, rivers and trees seemed to be reflected in blood, just as the battle achievements of the Yuan army were dyed with blood, and the contrast was complete.
The victorious army has not yet appeared on the distant horizon, but tremors have begun to appear on the ground. The inexperienced people are inexplicably panicked, while the experienced civil servants and generals begin to comfort the people around them: "Don't worry, this is a large cavalry kick.
With the sound of footsteps, it seems that Gao Jinglue is about to arrive. Quickly clean up your clothes. Today is an extraordinary day, but don't lose your magnanimity or weaken your prestige."
Everyone hurriedly began to adjust the crown and belt. Even His Majesty the Emperor was not exempt from customs and subconsciously lowered his head to straighten the jade belt around his waist. Chen Ju next to him also immediately stepped forward and carefully adjusted it for him to ensure that
Every piece of clothing and accessories is worn to perfection.
At this moment, two large scrolls with three sides, one in front and one behind, appeared on the wide official road in the distance. The former was larger. On one side it was written "Imperial Envoy Jingluo Meng Yuan Jied Zhuzhen Gao", and on the other side it was written "Prince Taishi Hubu Shangshu Gao"
.The smaller scroll at the back reads "Prince Shaobao Commander Qi of the Guards".
At this time, only the large banners of Gao Pingshi and Qi Jiguang were visible. As the crowd moved forward, gold armor and silver helmets surged like a tide, and the cavalry kicked and shook the mountains and rivers. More than 60,000 imperial guards began to extend horizontally to the two wings in the reserved open space in the countryside.
, after forming the center army and the left and right wings, the space left between the three formations was gradually occupied by the two cavalry groups that surged up from the rear.
Of these two cavalrymen, the one on the left is wearing a large banner with the inscription "The King of Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty commanded Hannaji"; the one on the right is also wearing a large banner with the inscription "The Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army of the Ming Dynasty Qianshi Yilduqi". This is
The two-sided scroll looks particularly new, and most of the officials attending the meeting guessed that it must have been made recently - of course, the reason for the rush is not that it didn't exist before, but that they probably deliberately added the word "Ming Dynasty" in front of the title.
.
These two words actually do not comply with the regulations. Gao Jingshi and Qi Jiguang's imperial edicts obviously do not exist. But everyone understands and is even very satisfied with these two new imperial edicts - isn't this the complete surrender of Tumut and Ordos to the Ming Dynasty?
What about your performance? Well done, Gao Jinglue!
Although the emperor tried to remain reserved, he really couldn't hold it back at this time. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing an uncontrollable excited smile, and his breath became slightly heavier.
At this moment, he could see all the armies clearly. The Imperial Guards were indeed as solemn as a mountain. Although they were only advancing slowly, they were like overwhelming waves. One glance made people feel that they should not be in front of them.
Because he knew clearly that they were all his soldiers, Zhu Yijun even doubted whether he should go back to the palace first. After all, the sense of oppression was too strong, and the brightly armored guards around him... they looked good, but they were real
There is no murderous intent at all.
Zhu Yijun speculated with complicated emotions. If the two armies faced each other, it would be a battle that would end with a charge from the Imperial Guards on the opposite side, right? Pragmatically speaking, he is right. Qi Jiguang's ability in training troops is indeed unparalleled in the world, but it is a pity that he is in charge of the Imperial Guards.
It has been going on for so long that even pragmatists think it should be changed. Otherwise, where would the regulations of the country be? Such a strong and elite army cannot be held in the hands of one person for a long time.
The emperor closed his eyes and let go of his thoughts, then opened his eyes and looked at the two Mongolian cavalry that were interspersed among the three formations of the Imperial Guard. These two cavalry seemed to have been tidied up, at least they did not look dusty.
The robes and light armor on their bodies seemed to have been carefully taken care of, but their clothing and armor were not uniform, and their imposing manner seemed much weaker.
Fortunately, their armor lacks self-confidence to make up for it. These Mongolian cavalry still have the heroic spirit of prairie warriors, and Gu Panjian has a sense of unruliness. Even when he looks at the emperor's royal soldiers, his eyes are filled with doubts rather than envy. Only when they subconsciously face the Chinese army
When the Imperial Guards in the center looked at them, especially when they saw the three large banners in front of their heads, their eyes revealed a hint of careful respect and humility.
Many people would even involuntarily bend down and lower their heads on their horses when looking at Gao Pragmatic's position, while mumbling words, as if they were devout believers begging for blessings from gods and Buddhas.
Zhu Yijun saw that many Mongolian cavalry behaved like this, and then he suddenly realized: Yes, these Mongolians are really pragmatic. They are the third generation Mingwang.
Ha, interesting, interesting. It seems that as long as they are pragmatic, these Mongolians will definitely not dare to act recklessly. Yes, people may still have a chance to defeat, but for the believers, King Ming is the wrathful body of the Buddha. How can that be them?
Dare to resist? I'm afraid not to mention resisting, even the slightest disrespect is a heinous crime!
At this time, Zhu Yijun fully understood Gao Pragmatic's great wisdom when he strongly supported the lama's northward march to the Mongolian grassland. It was just as he said: It is better to convince people with strength than to convince them with benefits; it is better to convince people with benefits than to convince people with reason. What he said
Logic, I originally thought it was Neo-Confucianism, but I really didn’t expect it, it turned out to be... Hahahaha!
The emperor was in a trance for a moment, but when he woke up he found that the "two armies" were only about a mile away from each other. It was precisely because Gao Pragmatic, who was walking in front of the formation, suddenly reined in his horse, raised his whip, and counted.
The triumphant army of ten thousand people stopped in an instant with arms and hands pointing.
"I am a pragmatic and pragmatic person who obeyed the order, plowed the court and swept the holes, wiped out the remaining elements, and went out for half a year. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my order. Now I have led the army back, handed back the tiger talisman, and congratulated my emperor..." He paused slightly, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly.
: "...The power of heaven is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous!"
As if they had received the order, the Imperial Guards immediately shouted in unison: "The power of God is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be everlasting! The power of God is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be everlasting!"
Tumut and the two Ordos Mongolian cavalry immediately shouted in either proficient or unfamiliar Chinese: "The might of Heaven is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be everlasting! The might of Heaven is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be everlasting!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami hit the soul directly, and the atmosphere suddenly boiled. After the Imperial Guards and the Mongolian Second Division shouted a few words in unison, the other side has been suffering for several years.
The soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps, who had high pragmatic benevolence, couldn't help it, and spontaneously shouted: "The power of God is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous! The power of God is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous!"
Immediately afterwards, the royal guards and Han generals who were surrounded by them could not escape the masculine nature of their nature. They imitated the various weapons in their right hands and shouted: "Mighty God, may the Ming Dynasty be prosperous!"
The power of heaven is mighty, and the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous!"
Who can stay away from such a roaring mountain and tsunami? Even those military officials and nobles who have not known fighting for a long time are like the spirits of their ancestors possessing them at this moment, and they are also shouting: "The power of God is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous! God!"
Mighty and mighty, Ming Dynasty Yongchang!"
Finally, the civil servants did not know whether they were infected or wanted to prove that they were equally loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Finally, the current emperor, the Ming Emperor of Zhongxing, also shouted: "The power of God is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be everlasting! The power of God is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be everlasting!"
Zhu Yijun was trembling all over, like a drink poured over his head. He was so drunk that he felt as if he was in the clouds and mist. For a moment, he thought of the late emperor's kind and seductive kindness, for a while he thought of his former teacher Gao Wenzhenggong's Mu Su, and for a while he thought of his young classmate Gao Pragmatism.
The...gentle smile.
He didn't know why the image of Gao Pingshi in his mind at the moment was just an extremely gentle smiling face. It was neither a confident person who knew everything, nor an invincible decisiveness in killing, nor a shrewd calculation of Tao Zhu's reincarnation.
Why is it just a gentle smiling face?
Zhu Yijun didn't know. But he knew deeply that today's shouting was different from usual. It was so direct and straight to the heart. It was not the usual cliché that no one would take seriously. It was because
The heroism and confidence born of victory are everyone's final response to a huge victory!
Zhu Yijun slowly walked a few steps on the royal platform until he reached the edge. He held on to the lacquered gold railing with his left hand and raised his right hand high. Everyone's voices soon stopped. More than 100,000 pairs of eyes, no matter far or near, were all focused on this moment.
onto his face.
The emperor took a deep breath, exhausted all his strength, and shouted: "The power of heaven is mighty, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous!"
This sound immediately set off the whole place. When everyone saw the emperor, they also shouted this slogan, and they did not impose any restrictions on their own roars. The whole place resounded, but there was only one voice: "The power of heaven is mighty, the Ming Dynasty is Yongchang——
"

PS: As mentioned last night, this chapter was finished early in the morning, and I struggled a lot. Looking at the time, it’s almost six-thirty, and it feels like it’s almost dawn.
