Chapter 455: Worshiping Chongzhen with a Tatar head (please subscribe!)

The Chinese people are like this, they can be called the best people in the world. All they want in their lives is to live and work in peace and contentment, and be safe and healthy.

As long as there is a mouthful of rice to eat, there will be no rebellion, even if the bowl of rice is mixed with half of the grass roots, bark, bran and vegetable leaves.

Compared with Kang Mazi, who disliked the Han people for eating too much and causing famine, the Xinming army was simply a good man!

No wonder they support Ming Dynasty so much.

After this battle, the majority of northern people clearly saw the difference between the New Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

The New Ming Dynasty is the New Ming Dynasty of the Han people, and the Taqing Dynasty is the Taqing Dynasty of the Manchu people.

With the support of the people around Xuzhou, the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition divided into two routes, marching westward along the Yellow River and northward along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. They marched quickly and entered the borders of Henan and Shandong respectively. The unification of the north was just around the corner!

After Zhu Kezang saw the progress of the Northern Expeditionary Army officers and men, he was overjoyed and at the same time angry about the Tatars' digging of the Yellow River.

"Jin Fu, you and other traitors are really digging their own graves by doing such things that bring disaster to lives!" Zhu Kezang said angrily.

He was really angry. Zhu Kezang had heard of Jin Fu's reputation and was originally planning to let him continue to serve as the governor of the river. Unexpectedly, this man actually artificially breached the Yellow River for the sake of the already subjugated Tatars!

Committing such outrageous things completely made Taqing lose the hearts of the people.

Old eunuch Li also said angrily: "Your Majesty is compassionate and compassionate, and you are truly a benevolent and wise Lord."

Zhu Kezang waved his hand and signaled Lao Li to stop flattering, and said directly: "Disaster relief will definitely need to continue in the future. Let's quickly take stock of the gains from the restoration of Northern Zhili, so as to replenish the national treasury and provide support for subsequent disaster relief."

"Your Majesty, this is the trophy book compiled by Jin Yiwei!" Chen Weiguo was already prepared!

After landing at Dagukou in Tianjin, they marched westward along the Grand Canal and Baihe River, captured Tianjin Fucheng, and then captured Xianghe, Tongzhou, and Baliqiao until they captured Shuntian City. A total of more than 45,000 Qing soldiers were killed.

, and captured 43,000 Qing soldiers.

More than 1,000 artillery pieces, large and small, and nearly 50,000 shotguns and matchlocks were seized. Nearly half of them were seized from various firearms manufacturing offices and military equipment warehouses in the suburbs of Beijing. The remaining half were seized directly from surrendering Qing soldiers.

.

Of course, the reliability of these weapons is so poor that the Ming Dynasty does not like them at all, so they can only temporarily seal them up. Will they be distributed to local garrisons, wait for the next step, and send them to Yingtianfu's arsenal for modification, or simply re-make them again.

, but it depends on the situation.

The trophies of these weapons made Zhu Kezang less interested.

What can make Zhu Kezang interested are the various treasures in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Kezang took a quick look and saw that there were everything from Gu Kaizhi's "Picture Scroll of Admonitions to Women's History" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Wu Daozi's "Picture of the King Sending His Son Off" in the Tang Dynasty, as well as countless works of art, calligraphy and painting.

The most valuable thing is a pagoda that is only over one meter high and was found in a secret room. It is made of a whole piece of natural red gold and is inlaid with red, yellow, blue, green and black gems. Zhu Kezang saw it in the list of seizures.

, its preciousness ranks among the best.

Treasures on the same level as this pagoda include eighteen luminous pearls the size of a child's head, as well as the radiant luminous pearl the size of a football that was given to Kangxi at a high price.

The light of this luminous pearl was already very weak after it was stopped, but it really frightened Zhu Kezang, and he quickly asked someone to sell it!

As for the priceless jade cabbage ornaments in later generations, jade beads, watermelon tourmalines, goose egg-sized luminous pearls, etc., they can no longer be ranked.

He didn't dare to read any more, he was a little worried about his little heart.

Although he knows that these things may not be as valuable as future generations in this era, but they are already a staggering wealth, because there are too many. The list alone, according to Chen Weiguo, has a huge amount of wealth.

of the last ten books.

He just selected some typical ones and copied a dozen of the most valuable ones on the list. In fact, there were more than hundreds of thousands of various treasures seized?

As for gold and silver, there are even more!

In fact, less than half of the treasures of all dynasties in China were collected in the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty.

And not only this place, the princes, nobles and Tatar officials in the capital and the imperial city fled one after another. Because they left in a hurry, and because they also hoped that the capital could be defended at that time, many treasures were not collected in time, and they were all destroyed by the Ming soldiers.

Seized.

Zhu Kezang no longer had the intention to look at the status of these treasures and asked directly: "Old Chen, there are too many to look at. Can you please give me an estimate of the total value of these treasures?"

"Your Majesty, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Chen Weiguo had a headache. Zhu Kezang's words really overwhelmed him. He really couldn't answer: "There are so many treasures. Wei Chen finally understood that sentence. They are countless! Each of these treasures is

It is priceless, but the quantity is so huge. I am bold, even if it is calculated as 100,000 pieces, even if the average piece is calculated as 20,000 silver dollars, it is still worth 2 billion silver dollars."

Zhu Kezang’s eyes widened!

He knew a lot and asked casually, but he never expected that it would be such a terrifying number! Moreover, this was a conservative estimate by Chen Weiguo. In fact, it was probably more than 100,000, and on average, it was not only 20,000

The value of the silver dollar.

This number is really astonishing.

Of course, I also know that this cannot be calculated like this. If all these treasures are released outside, it will inevitably cause the collapse of the entire market. But no matter what, this is undoubtedly a huge wealth, which is rich enough to rival the country. It is not an empty talk.

Fortunately, Kangxi kept saying he was short of money because he refused to sell his property.

But I didn’t expect that it would end up being cheaper for Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Kezang confessed: "We must keep a close eye on these treasures, and we must not let any of them be lost. These are not mine alone, but the treasures of the entire empire and the entire China. In addition, let the Jin Yiwei people keep a close eye on them, and we cannot let the soldiers handle them alone."

."

"As for gold and silver, some should be used to express condolences to the people affected by the disaster. Keep an eye on them, and no one can touch the gold and silver provided for disaster relief!"

"By the way, kill a group of prisoners for me to scare those monsters and monsters!"

Chen Weiguo resigned with excitement on his face.

At noon that day, Gushan Beizi Aixinjueluo Zhangtai, headed by more than ten Baylor Beizi and other princes and nobles, plus more than ten Manchu and Qing ministers including Nuo Min, the Minister of Rites, Fei Yanggu, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and the Fan family

The remnants of the Shang family, the Geng family and others were escorted to the Caishikou execution ground outside Xuanwu Gate by the Jinyi guards beating gongs and drums.

In addition, Zhu Kezang also stopped by Chongzhen's Siling Mausoleum to pay homage. This mass execution also wanted to use the blood of the Tatars to comfort the souls of Chongzhen.

As for Yue Le, Tao Sai, and Kong Sizhen, the three of them had to be taken to Yingtian Mansion Lingchi.

Chen Weiguo, the governor of Jinyiweinan Town, stood beside the prison car and gave a speech, declaring that these unrepentant Tatars were traitors, bullied men and women, and committed a heinous crime. He also emphasized that they were loyal to the Manchus and refused to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. According to the emperor's decree,

In order to appease the late Emperor Chongzhen, all of them were executed.

Just a few gunshots were heard, and nearly a hundred famous swordsmen raised and dropped their swords. About forty princes, nobles, ministers, and ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all beheaded, and their heads were hung on the Xuanwu Gate Tower for public display.

The rat tail braid comes in handy.

For a time, the entire Han people in Beizhili were rejoicing, while the captured bannermen were trembling!
