In May of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, it was full of children. It is the most beautiful time outside the Great Wall. The meadow is like a green ocean, the blue sky and white clouds, the flowers and the sunshine make your whole body warm. The hillside is covered with pine, juniper, cypress, birch and other trees. There is a manor at the foot of the mountain, and then there is a green meadow in front of it. The green carpet extends to the foot of the distant mountain and the vast broad-leaved forest. On the soft grass in front of the manor, Emperor Chongzhen was lying comfortably in a rocking chair with a newspaper. He had glasses on his nose and tea on the small table next to him. He looked like an intellectual and lived a leisurely middle-class life. He sipped the fragrant tea and slowly read the contents of the newspaper. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he sat upright. The result of the discussion came out. His posthumous title was published in the newspaper: Emperor Shao Tianyi, Dao Gangming, Kefeng Kuiwen Fenwu Dunrenmao Xiaolie. Then there is the temple name: Yizong. Emperor Chongzhen thought about it carefully, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. Emperor Yi Zonglie, this is the greatest affirmation for him. He sighed in his heart: "I blamed him wrongly." There was also Wang Cheng'en, who was posthumously named Zhongmin, which made Emperor Chongzhen very satisfied. He read the newspaper carefully, and there were a series of titles and posthumous titles below. Yang Guozhu was granted the title of Ji Guogong and a temple was built to offer sacrifices. Cao Bianjiao was granted the title of Marquis of Jingnan and a temple was built to offer sacrifices. Wang Tingchen was granted the title of Marquis of Ningnan and a temple was built to offer sacrifices. Liu Zhaoji was granted the title of Marquis of Dongping and a temple was built to offer sacrifices. Fu Yingchong was granted the title of Marquis of Dingcheng and a temple was built to offer sacrifices. Li Banghua was given the title of Taibao, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, posthumous title of Zhongwen, and a temple was built to offer sacrifices. Zhu Zhifeng was given the posthumous title Zhongzhuang as a gift to the Minister of War, and a temple was built to offer sacrifices. Wei Jingyuan was given the posthumous title Zhongyi as a gift to the Minister of War, and a temple was built to offer sacrifices. Cai Maode was given the posthumous title of Zhongxiang as a gift to the Minister of War, and a temple was built to offer sacrifices. Qiu Minyang presented it to the Minister of the Ministry of War, gave him the posthumous title of Zhongjie, and established a temple to offer sacrifices. Ling Ling Zongzong, there are many posthumous titles and titles, and there are also Fan Jingwen, a bachelor and minister of the Ministry of Industry who died when the bandits entered the capital, Ni Yuanlu, a minister of the Ministry of Household and a bachelor, Wang Jiayan, the minister of the Ministry of War, Meng Zhaoxiang, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, Zuo Shi Bangyao, the deputy censor of the capital, Ling Yiqu, the minister of Dali Temple, Wang Guoxing, the commander of Jinyi Weidu, Liu Wenbing, the Marquis of Xinle, Zuo Zhongyun, Liu Lishun and others were posthumously buried. There is also a small episode in this, that is, after the capital city was destroyed, those who were not martyred at the time were killed when the bandits were chasing the stolen goods to help pay them. Also, should the civil servants and military generals who were killed when the bandits went out to fight in the capital should be granted posthumous titles? This matter is highly controversial, even among the people. Finally, the Grand Governor, lifelong marshal, King of the East and Lord of the Dadong Kingdom Wang Dou spoke: "If the martyrs are treated the same as the surrenderers, then what are the loyal ministers and righteous men doing?" Give him a posthumous title. Emperor Chongzhen was fascinated when he looked at these lists. He originally thought that only Wang Chengen was martyred at that time, but he did not expect that so many loyal ministers were martyred, and they were all over the country. There were also thieves who entered the capital and surrendered to the noble ministers. Seeing their fate, they should have been happy, but instead they sighed. He unfolded the newspaper, and then announced the disposition of the captured thieves and leaders of slave thieves. There were quite a few people who captured the two thieves this time, and the list of names was spread out very densely. The outcome of the trial was that the leader of the thieves, Li Zicheng, and the slave chief, Dorgon, were executed in Lingchi. With Lingchi, there are also the thieves general Liu Zongmin, the slave generals Dodo and Abatai. Wu Sangui killed Dongping Hou Liu Zhaoji and lured Qing soldiers into the pass. He committed a heinous crime and was executed at a late date. The thieves Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Gu Junen, Song Qijiao, Zhang Linran and others peeled off the skin and made grass. The slave officials Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, Namutai, Ye Keshu, Bashan, Meng Qiaofang and others peeled off the real grass. Guang Shiheng hindered the southward migration and caused the death of his father in the country. However, he surrendered to the thieves and took up a false position. He committed a heinous crime, just like peeling off the skin and making the grass. Fang Guangchen used the strategy of pacifying the bandits and incited Wu Sangui to surrender to the enemy. He was also one of the culprits that led to Liu Zhaoji's death. Yang Shaofan was cut in half in front of Jingnan Hou Cao Bianjiao's tomb. Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Wu Sanfu, Dang Shousu, Gu Kecheng, Zu Dabi, Zu Dale, Zu Dacheng, Yang Shen, Guo Yunlong, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Ma Guangyuan, Jin Li, Buyandai, Yibai, Enge Tu and others were cut in half. All the officers of the Wu Zu family were beheaded and abandoned the city, and all the servants of the Wu Zu family were beheaded. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? were to kill all the captured thief old camp soldiers and the captured slave thief Manchu soldiers. The captured bandits, foreign camp soldiers, middle and high-ranking officers, ruffians, and those with evil deeds will all be killed. The rest will be put into hard labor ranging from ten to fifty years. Those who are willing to be exiled overseas can have their years reduced by half. The captured Mengba Banner,?Eight Banners, Japan's Eight Banners soldiers, three Ding to kill, Han Eight Banners and foreign vassal Mongolian soldiers, five Ding to kill, the rest will be in hard labor ranging from ten to fifty years, those who are willing to be exiled overseas, the number of years can be reduced by half. Whenever the army invades Liaodong and captures slaves, men, women, and children, all the men of the Eight Banners will be killed. Women, the elderly, and minors will be put into hard labor ranging from twenty to fifty years. Those who are willing to be exiled overseas can have their years reduced. Half. "When a large army invades the land of thieves and captures the family members of the thieves, women, old people and minors will be put into hard labor ranging from ten to fifty years. Those who are willing to be exiled overseas can have their years reduced by half. The results of the transformation of the above-mentioned soldiers can be seen, and they were incorporated into the Loyalty Battalion, and the new attached battalion served the country. "Also, more than a hundred officials who surrendered to the bandits and took up pseudo-offices were all beheaded and abandoned the market. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Led by the Supervision Department of the Anbei Protectorate Prefecture, conducts joint trials throughout the country, and reviews and handles crimes related to demotion, etc. in accordance with the law. However, the current shortage of officials in the capital is extremely serious. First, all the officials in the capital will be demoted to the third level, and they will be charged with redeeming themselves for their crimes and restoring order and government operations. There was a complicated look in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes. On April 22, the prince came to Beijing and soon ascended the throne as emperor. He changed his reign to Longwu, and the next year was the first year of Longwu. Emperor Longwu Zhu Cixi paid homage to Duke Jing, and the governor Wang Dou became the king of the East. He was granted the title of king of the East and a lifelong marshal. He still wore the seal of the general who conquered the captives. He was the governor of all the Chinese and foreign military forces. He did not follow the rule of entering the court. He went to the palace with swords and shoes and paid homage without recognition. . Emperor Longwu also wanted Dong Wang to have both Jiuxi and Wang Dou, but Wang Dou firmly refused. Wang Dou then appointed Han Chao as the generals to conquer the east, Zhong Susu and Gao Shiyin as the generals to conquer the south, and the generals to conquer the west, to completely pursue and destroy the two thieves. The Battle of Tangjialing on April 20 shocked the world. Two hundred thousand Jingbian troops fought against one million bandits and one million slave bandits. They were defeated. The remnants of the bandits were led by General Guoyi Tian Hu and General Guo Yi Bai Jiuhe. Fleeing south in panic. When they fled to Hejian Mansion, they were hit hard on the flank by Zhong Susu, who had been waiting for a long time in Zhending Mansion. Their last remaining old battalion soldiers suffered all casualties. Then Zhong Susu joined forces with Gao Shiyin, who was pursuing south, and approached Shandong. The great victory of Tangjialing spread throughout the world, and the soldiers and civilians were all excited. Knowing that the rebels were defeated and the captured states and counties rose up, they killed and expelled the puppet officials, advocated righteousness and expelled the puppets, defended the envoys, shepherds, and orders to welcome the king's division, and the whole world rose up to fight against him. . The latest news is that the whole territory of Shandong has been restored. Zhong Susu and Gao Shiyin took Shouzhou Commander-in-Chief Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, Luzhou Commander-in-Chief Huang Degong and others as the vanguard, crossed the Yellow River westward and went south to eliminate the bandit Baiwang tribe in Henan, Huguang and Jiangnan. wait. On the eastern battlefield, the remnants of the slave thieves fled eastward in panic. When they were approaching Shanhaiguan, they were suddenly attacked by Yang Guozhu who was in Qian'an City. He killed the slave thieves Baylor, Abatai's third son Bolo and others on the spot, and Shanhaiguan was recaptured. However, Yang Guozhu was already seriously injured, and this last blow caused him to die even more seriously, and passed away with a smile on his face. The chasing army of South Korea and the Jizhen Army worked together to kill and injure all the remaining Manchu soldiers of the slave thieves outside Shanhaiguan, and then left the customs. The latest news is that the remaining slaves in Liaodong fled north in panic under the leadership of Prince Li Daishan, and the entire territory of Liaodong was recovered. The situation is excellent, and the complete elimination of the rogue bandits and Hulu is just around the corner. Emperor Chongzhen sighed. After he ascended the throne, he worked hard, but the capital was breached by bandits. He was also invaded by slave bandits several times, killing and plundering thousands of miles away. However, such a powerful enemy was destroyed by the Jingbian Army in half a day, and now it is even more important to completely destroy the two thieves. What kind of power is this? He remembered the time when he went to Xuanfu Town not long ago. His movements are not restricted and he can move freely, but there is always a team of armored soldiers protecting him in the manor. After leaving Beijing, he visited Xuanfu Town several times. Every time he went there, he sighed. The Ming Dynasty in his dreams was not like this. Not long ago, he sighed again in the city, and then someone by the canal next to him also sighed the same way. He looked strangely, but he turned out to be a handsome scholar who called himself Li. The two attendants beside him were a bit strange. They did not look like long-term attendants, but looked like official escorts escorting prisoners. However, they didn't have uniforms, and the scholar didn't have iron chains, so although Chongzhen felt strange, he didn't think much about it. The two chatted for a while. The scholar said that he had heard the name of Xuanfu Town for a long time and wanted to come and have a look. Next, he wanted to go to Guihua City. When Emperor Chongzhen left, the scholar was still standing by the canal in a daze, his eyes blurred. This is just a small episode, Chongzhen just remembered it, he just sighed, how did Wang Dou do it in Xuanfu Town? ¡ ¡ Another page of the newspaper introduced internal affairs. After entering the capital, Wang Dou¡¯s men occupied many positions in the capital and localities, but they still left many official positions for ministers and workers, including the prestigious position of minister. ??????????????????????????????????????????????¡There was a bloody fight for these positions, and even officials from the south and west, such as Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, Wang Duo, Zhang Shenyan, Liu Zongzhou and others rushed to the capital to prepare for an official position. Those who think they are qualified to join the cabinet rush to Beijing even more quickly. The dispute over cabinet ministers is even more cruel. Everyone has no objection to Chen Xinjia being the chief minister of the cabinet. Moreover, the chief minister of the Longwu Dynasty will adopt a new system, which is the term system. The term is once every five years, with a maximum of two terms. In addition, no more terms are allowed. However, even the emperor cannot remove him at will, which has aroused widespread applause. There is also a government-watching system. After serving as officials, they need to go to the Xuanfu Town Military Academy and the Civilian Academy for training, and then go to the grassroots level for experience. Only those who pass the government-watching can be placed as officials and generals in various places in the Ming Dynasty. Many new systems were also planned, such as the new imperial examination, etc. Unfortunately, the details were not detailed in the newspapers, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel unsatisfied. The special term system and the new imperial examination made Emperor Chongzhen think over and over again, wondering what Wang Dou would do when the time came. There is also the Tuotu system that Wang Dou seems to have launched in a particularly grand way. Wang Dou publicized in newspapers that the rebellion of bandits was also caused by lack of land, so he had to expand territory. For this reason, he set an example and personally took over the position of leader of the Dadong Kingdom, just to expand the land into the barbaric wilderness in the future. In addition, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, the governor's office will be established, and the fiefdom lord system will be established to encourage the people to expand overseas. Wang Douyan, not only him, but most of his subordinates will entrust overseas in the future, establish a large number of principalities, princes, and earldoms to surround the Ming Dynasty, provide financial resources, transfer excess population, and make the Ming Dynasty the center of the Celestial Dynasty forever. Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused. No wonder Wang Dou was named the Queen of the East, followed by the head of the Great East Kingdom. He found it very strange at the time. Now it seems that this was the result of private discussions between Wang Dou and the new emperor. He looked at the newspaper and was lost in thought: "Wang Dou is really going overseas in the future?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand why Wang Dou was so interested in the wilderness and disdained the colorful world of the Central Plains. It seemed that the officials were also talking about it, thinking that the East The king's fiefdom was far away in the wilderness, so this move was a disservice to the meritorious officials, especially to the meritorious officials like Wang Dou. ??????????????????? However, it seems that Wang Dou has made up his mind, and there is news from the Governor's Office that under the Tuotu system, the land of China will no longer be enfeoffed, and the land of Tuotu will be enfeoffed, only outside of China. As the launcher of the system, Wang Dou must set an example. Chongzhen thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out Wang Dou's thoughts. He shook his head and read the content at the bottom of the newspaper. After Wang Dou and others entered the capital, the first thing they did was to open up water transportation and ordered the governor of Huaiyang. Governor Zhenfei's water transportation road quickly transported the four million stone canal grain that was stagnant in Huai'an to the capital. Protect the government and transport food to relieve the people. At the same time, large-scale construction of Tianxiayi Road bridges was carried out using work-relief measures. Wang Dou said in the newspaper that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and then you will start large-scale infrastructure construction, such as building roads from Guihua City to the capital, and from the capital to Nanjing, and you will invest a lot of money to build the Yellow River and canals. Water conservancy and so on. In this process, at least one million people will be hired to participate in the construction. They will not work as errands for free, but will be paid. The money they receive will be enough to support their families. This makes the people very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and everyone is looking forward to the New Deal. They don¡¯t have to worry about Governor Wang Dou not giving them money. First of all, Wang Dou¡¯s credibility is very high, which can be seen from the enthusiastic immigration to the Governor¡¯s Mansion from all over the country. Moreover, Wang Dou had a lot of money. It was rumored that after the Jingbian Army defeated the bandits, Wang Dou received at least 100 million taels of silver. Folk songs, thieves fell, and Wang Dou was full. It¡¯s impossible for him not to be able to pay wages. So in the coming days, everyone may be like the people of Xuanfu Town, everyone has work to do and everyone has food to eat. Wang Dou, Chen Xinjia and others also announced that in the future, the post station will cancel the function of "receiving and delivering passengers" and instead implement travel expenses, and allow each post station to operate independently like Xuanfu Town. However, how much of the proceeds will be turned over and how the local and central governments will divide the accounts are still being discussed. However, many businessmen, especially those in Xuanfu Town, have taken notice of this and bought and rented land around the road stations from Guihua City to the capital and the capital to Nanjing, opened restaurants and horse shops, etc., leading the commotion in the business world. It was also announced that he would be exempted from three-year salary and military service for three years, and that the employment system would be temporarily adopted and would be discussed again in three years. Various measures have caused shocks in the world, and a vibrant atmosphere has emerged. Emperor Chongzhen sighed again, when he was in power, had he ever had such a scene? It has only been a short time since Wang Dou came to Beijing, and the atmosphere among the people seems to have changed. He then read his favorite "Jin Ping Mei" review in the newspaper, thinking about it again and again, and felt itchy in his heart. He thought: "Where can I go to invest?"?. " Finally, Emperor Chongzhen put down the newspaper with satisfaction and stood up. He lit a cloud cigarette and walked slowly on the grass. It seemed that the sky was blue, the fields were vast, and the herds of cattle and sheep in the distance were all in sight, which was breathtaking. His mind has become much more open-minded. There are also some manors and villages near his manor. Han Chinese and Yi people live together. The villagers are very simple and uncontested. Sometimes he takes a walk nearby. The surrounding Yi people would also call him in blunt Chinese: "Zhu Bixia. "Although he just moved here not long ago, Emperor Chongzhen is already well-known in this area because he can be regarded as a high-level intellectual, and people here respect literate people very much. From time to time, people come to ask him for help, and that** ** conveniently named a Yi child, and the family even brought a lamb over to thank him. All the things in the past seemed to be in the past, and Emperor Chongzhen gradually got used to the current life, a leisurely life and comfort. In a relaxed mood, his complexion is getting better and better, and his hair is gradually turning from white to black. He raises some sheep and horses in the manor, and has opened several vegetable fields around it. After entering May, he is free. He would also grow vegetables when he had nothing to do. The clear laughter kept coming. Emperor Chongzhen looked over, but it was his sons and daughters who were making trouble. They were riding on a few ponies, spinning around, with Princess Zhaoren chasing after them. He was running behind: "Brother, brother, I want it too. " There was also Wang Desheng's voice shouting: "Oh, young masters, be careful, don't fall down. " Chongzhen shook his head. He was like a crazy girl and a crazy boy. At this time, footsteps sounded not far away, but it was Queen Zhou accompanying Queen Yi'an back from picking vegetables. Looking at the laughing scene over there, Yi Queen An sighed: "I never thought that I would have the time to step out of the palace and see these magnificent rivers and mountains. " Emperor Chongzhen was about to go over to meet the emperor's sister-in-law, when a carriage drove towards the manor. Wen Daxing got out of the carriage, and Princess Zhu Ainao of Kunxing trotted over. Her pretty face was flushed, and she was as pure as a deer. She expected Pan said: "Master Wen is here? Is Mr. Hou okay? Wen Daxing said hurriedly: "Very good, but I am too busy with state affairs. When I have a little leisure time, the general will come to pay homage to the princess and your majesty." "Princess Kunxing lowered her head and hummed shyly. Wen Daxing smiled and nodded to Princess Kunxing, and then walked towards Emperor Chongzhen. The two walked on the grass talking for a long time, and Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "It's me. I feel guilty for wrongly blaming Wang Dou. " Wen Daxing paused, then said: "It's not your fault, Your Majesty, the general once said that whoever sits on that seat will be unable to help himself. " After all the past events, Emperor Chongzhen finally sighed: "The Ming Dynasty was lucky enough to be able to send down kings from heaven to fight against such figures. " Wen Daxing also calmed down and said: "The general once said that Emperor Gao had great kindness to China, sobut the country's moths must be eradicated. He also said that he would not allow anyone to hinder his path or hinder him. of orthodoxy. " Emperor Chongzhen recalled Wen Daxing's words. He pondered for a long time, nodded, and said, "Read the newspaper and say that King Dong intends to go overseas in the future? Wen Daxing said: "Yes, the general said that after training a successor twenty years later, he will retire and travel around the world." " Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously: "He is really willing to leave the Central Plains. Are you willing to follow him overseas? Wen Daxing smiled and said, "Why not?" Is it possible to seize the land in the Central Plains? There is land everywhere overseas, and it is yours as long as you occupy it. " He said yearningly: "My old Wen family might also be able to produce a leader. " Emperor Chongzhen said in disbelief: "Barbaric land" Wen Daxing smiled and said: "Barbaric land? As long as the management is good, anywhere is not a paradise, just like Xuanfu Town, the land is not fertile, what now? Moreover, the land overseas is not all barren and barren. For example, in many places in Southeast Asia, the yield per mu can reach three or four stones. How many pieces of land in Ming Dynasty can achieve this kind of yield? " Emperor Chongzhen was startled, and Wen Daxing said again: "Jianguo was granted the title of king, became a principality, and established his own foundation. The general gave us this wealth and honor. Should he stay in the Ming Dynasty and enjoy the ordinary wealth, and then the descendants of the princes and princes would be slaughtered like pigs, like this time the thieves came to Beijing or should he make great achievements and open up his own country? We all make choices. " Wen Daxing's eyes showed a look of fascination. He thought of the future talks between generals and generals in the past. "Yes, it is impossible to seal the land of the Central Plains in the past dynasties. Moreover, after the tripod was established, most of the horses were released to Nanshan, and the cunning rabbit died. Goufeng, these generals can only spend their lives in fear and illness, but now a new era has come.Establish your own kingdom with integrity, obtain your own fiefdom, and pass it on to your descendants from generation to generation. This foundation of wealth and honor is so important, so why not? They are all very supportive. From now on, their general spokesperson will still be Wang Dou, who will coordinate the economic and cultural relations between the fiefdom and the country, and between the country and the fiefdom. Wen Daxing continued: "Looking at the disaster of bandits this time, it is also due to too little land. The general said that the world is so big, why bother fighting in a nest? We should broaden our horizons and go out more to find space for survival." Chongzhen The emperor said: "The world?" Wen Daxing smiled and said: "Yes, the general said that although the Ming Dynasty is big, the world is even bigger, but the Ming Dynasty is just a corner of the world." Emperor Chongzhen listened blankly and thought to himself: "This is the best of both worlds. The method? The Zhu family doesn't have to worry about being deprived of the throne, and Wang Dou doesn't have to worry about Huo and Zhang in the future. It's just that if he doesn't care about the world, he can only look at the best way out for his family and his subordinates. In the small land of Ming Dynasty, we can't find such a good solution." He thought for a long time and sighed: "My vision is really low." He said: "It's just that in the future, the feudal states and the central court. "How about the future?" Wen Daxing said: "The general designed the ritual official system, the pilgrimage system, etc. But he also said that it is difficult to say what will happen in the future. It may change in a hundred or two hundred years, but no matter how it changes in the future, The people in these lands all have a common name, Han." Wen Daxing finally said: "General Yan, what he is most proud of is being able to personally protect this civilization." Long after Wen Daxing left, Emperor Chongzhen still murmured: "Civilization?" At this time, Queen Zhou came over and said, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty?" Emperor Chongzhen shook his head: "Nothing." He looked at Queen Zhou and said, "I have been busy with state affairs these years, but I have neglected you. In the future, You have to suffer with me." Queen Zhou shook her head: "I prefer this place to the deep palace. Look how happy they are compared to when they were in the deep palace." The two of them looked and saw Princess Zhaoren was running after her sister, Princess Kunxing, like a bird, and there was crisp laughter on the grassland. The two of them looked at each other for a while, both smiling. The emperor's family was not heartless either. Then Empress Zhou's eyes filled with tenderness and she smiled slightly: "What's more, as long as I can stay with His Majesty, where can I not be happy?" She whispered: "After thousands of miles, the years are getting shorter, and the smile still carries the fragrance of plum blossoms. May I ask? Isn't Lingnan good? But he said: This is my hometown."
