Dong Lin's opinion is to eradicate these remnants completely and take them to the market entrance to be chopped down so that all nine sides can be abolished.
The Jin Party and other local forces suggested that they should adopt a soft strategy and appropriately weaken these Mongolian nobles. This was because the Han people were unwilling to live on the grasslands and the garrison burden was too heavy.
If troops are stationed in the grasslands, those who provide food and pay, and those who dispatch civilians must be from the northern provinces. They will not be recruited from the south of the Yangtze River. This will increase the burden on the north.
They think that the north of the Ming Dynasty is so dry and the grasslands are even more difficult. It is sheer nonsense to allow the garrison to farm on the grasslands. Hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed on the Monan and Liaohe lines, which is equivalent to one more Guanning army. This is extremely
The burden of the earth.
The two sides were having a heated debate, and the elder Ge and the six ministers were quarreling with red faces. At this time, a eunuch who was in charge of the rites came in hurriedly.
"My lords, what are you doing? Wanzai Ye's carriage has already left the Meridian Gate. If you don't leave quickly, you won't be able to keep up later."
Li Biao and Qian Longxi were shocked. They didn't expect that the emperor left first without waiting for them.
The eunuch seemed to understand what they were thinking, and stamped his feet and said: "Everyone, you don't even look at what time it is now. Mao hour has passed, and it is now the fifth quarter of Chen hour."
Suddenly, the ministers panicked. Unexpectedly, they had forgotten the time after arguing for so long, so they rushed out of Wenyuan Pavilion and ran towards the Meridian Gate.
Fortunately, the emperor's carriage must drive very smoothly. Therefore, the speed was not fast, and the civil servants finally caught up after running out of breath.
Zhang Shize was riding on a horse with the nobles, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Li Biao's hat ran away, so he quickly picked it up and put it on. Shangshu Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Hubu, lost his shoes and quickly put them on again. After all, Shangshu of the Ministry of War was reliable and walked as fast as flying, and he was the first to catch up with the team.
"You bastard, what are you laughing at? You have behaved disrespectfully before the king. Do you want the imperial censor to impeach you?" The new British Duke was so public that he glared at his incompetent son and scolded him.
Zhang Shize had no choice but to hold back his laughter. But the nobles, looking at the embarrassment of the civil servants, were all in a happy mood. These veteran dishes were usually served, there were five or six of them, and the noble ones didn't want them. It's rare to see them for a while.
A Western scene of their embarrassment.
This time the emperor's team first went to Changping Imperial Mausoleum to worship. The team came out from Chengtianmen and stayed on Tianjie Street for a while. One is that Chongzhen is the emperor after all. Although he is angry, he cannot look at civil servants like a noble.
joke.
Moreover, these cabinet elders, bachelors, and six ministers are all old men. There are not many young ones. If something goes wrong and he can't breathe, he will be in trouble. He will simply wait for them in the square.
The other one is waiting for the Mongolian noble prisoners who were escorted from the Jinyiweizhao Prison and the Jingshan Rear Training Ground. They were brought in from the East and West Chang'an Gate and joined the team.
Naturally, those who offered prisoners had to take them with them. High-ranking nobles such as Jinong, Taiji, Tabu Nang, etc. were imprisoned in the Zhao Prison of Fusi, Jinyiweinan Town, and were closely guarded.
As for those Nayan, the herd master and other small leaders, they were detained together with Jiajuan at the Jingshan rear teaching ground.
After all, there were too many people to be detained in the Zhao prison. No one expected that Uncle Dingyuan would take over Monan Mongolia. At this time, more than 2,000 nobles and family members were arrested. Which prison has room for them?
.
Chongzhen opened the curtains of the car window with his hands and looked at the prisoners escorted from the Jinyiwei Yamen on the west side of the square.
Ordos Jinong had the highest status, and he walked at the front. He was wearing a Ming Dynasty prison uniform, wearing iron chains, squinting his eyes, and walking numbly under the scolding of the Jinyi guards. He had just come out of Zhao Prison, and his eyes were still open.
Not used to the strong sunlight outside. She covered her eyes with her hands.
Behind them are Ordos, Tumut, Haraqin, Duoyan, Alxa tribes Taiji and Tabu Nang. They were unkempt and unkempt. They took off their golden uniforms and put on tattered linen prison uniforms. They were very emotional.
Very depressing. The quality of these linen clothes is very poor. They are full of burrs and make my whole body itchy. It is more uncomfortable than pain.
Jin Yiwei did it on purpose.
In the past two hundred years, Monan Mongolia has caused terrible harm to the border people. They are angry and deliberately tormenting them. They dare not retaliate openly, and in short, they will not let them have an easy time.
The Jinyiwei were engaged in intelligence, and they naturally knew the misery of the Han people being captured and forced to be slaves on the grasslands.
"Queen, please see, these thieves are the leaders of the Mongolian tribes in Monan. Uncle Dingyuan has caught them all this time. I, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, have nothing to worry about." Chongzhen said to Queen Zhou in a somewhat ostentatious manner.
"Except for that old fox in Su Budi, who did not participate in the war and ran away early, all the Taijis in Monan are here."
Empress Zhou immediately complimented: "This is all because Your Majesty has a keen eye for recognizing people and promoted Uncle Dingyuan at a young age. As the saying goes, horses with thousands of miles of horses often come, but Bo Le does not. Uncle Dingyuan's success is the result of your Majesty's support and trust."
.”
Chongzhen laughed loudly and said: "How come the Queen obeys what I say. But what you say makes sense. If I hadn't given Uncle Yuan the opportunity, he would still be making iron in Zunhua."
"Yang Fan's work is done. The only thing left is to stabilize the northwest. The north has basically settled down. Let's look at Liaodong next. Yuan Manzi promised me that as long as all his requirements are met, we will be
We will be able to return to Liao in 2019. I am waiting and seeing."
Empress Zhou said with a smile: "President Yuan won the Ningyuan and Ningjin victories in succession. He killed many Jiannu slaves. There are also rumors outside that the old slave chief Nurhaci was injured in Ningyuan and died. It can be seen that Governor Yuan
The master is also very capable of dealing with Jiannu. Your Majesty will soon receive good news from Liaodong."
Chongzhen shook his head slightly with a worried look on his face and said: "At that time, I had just ascended the throne and I didn't understand many things. Now it seems that many of what Yuan Manzi said at that time were to deceive me because I was young and inexperienced. Looking back now
What he said and what he did made me feel like I was being deceived."
It is very terrifying to say such words in the mouth of an emperor.
There was a sudden silence in the car, and Queen Zhou did not dare to answer the conversation.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule.
Although this rule depends on whether the emperor or the queen mother is in power. From the perspective of Zhu Zhanji's queen, Sun Ruowei, the ancestral rules are bullshit. The military power is all held by his brothers.
However, there is no doubt that Chongzhen is firmly in control of power. He is old-fashioned and cannot allow the harem to interfere in politics, causing the power of his relatives to lose control and repeating the mistake of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty who was couped by his relatives in his later years.
"It wasn't until I saw Uncle Dingyuan pacifying Monan Mongolia that I realized that the restoration of Liao Dynasty in five years requires an elite force with field combat capabilities. But has the Guan Ning Army ever won a field battle except by relying on a fortified city?"
Empress Zhou was silent. Although she didn't understand military matters, what Your Majesty said was reasonable.
Guan Ning's army consumes millions of military pay from the country a year, but it is an army that cannot fight without a strong city.
