Chapter 250 Jingguan

Although Emperor Xuanzong has always acquiesced in the suppression of nobles by civilian officials, there is no such reason. Zhu Qizhen is not as good as Emperor Xuanzong in this regard. In other words, in fact, the core of Zhu Qizhen's rule is essentially a civil servant group.

Zhu Qizhen's management of the army was more of a civilian group mentality.

This is the saying that great achievements shake the master.

Because if the emperor had absolute control over the army, there would be no such thing.

Just like when Emperor Taizu was the emperor, didn't Xu Da have a great contribution? But Xu Da was able to start well and finish well, and passed down his reputation to later generations because Emperor Taizu had the ability to completely suppress Xu Da.

However, Xuanzong was still somewhat suspicious of Zhang Fu. When they arrived at Zhu Qizhen, the generals all tried to avoid disaster and self-destruction, but they saw the problem in this.

Meng Ying participated in the entire process of the emperor's dealings with the Jingnan Xungui Group.

Of course, the emperor's methods were not announced or even stated clearly, but as Zhu Qizhen's biggest weight to check and balance the Jingnan Xungui Group, there were some things that could not be hidden from him.

Meng Ying understood that the emperor must have a final solution.

Now, after winning this battle, Meng Ying has reached the status of Duke Cheng, but unfortunately, he has also changed from Zhu Qizhen's right-hand man to another opponent of Zhu Qizhen.

As long as Zhu Qizhen cannot control the entire army like Taizu Taizong, and the Ming army still has strong combat effectiveness, then the position of the first person in the military will be the emperor's opponent.

This is not based on everyone's feelings.

Because the army must have combat effectiveness, as the first person in the military must have sufficient power and authority, then the emperor has to worry, won't such great power backfire?

There are two options to solve this problem. The first is for the emperor to personally control the army. This is impossible. Zhu Qizhen is very self-aware. Zhu Qizhen is not the emperor immediately. The war is too low cost-effective for the emperor.

Because even if the emperor wins, he is still the emperor and cannot be promoted again. If he loses, he will ruin thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

The second is to disperse and weaken the army, build more mountains among the army, and make them confront each other.

This is the emperor's usual method for treating his ministers.

But it is not suitable for use in the military.

If there are many conflicts in the army, it will directly affect the combat effectiveness.

An army with strong combat effectiveness is always a double-edged sword. For those who are capable, it is more powerful than a tiger, but for those who are incompetent, it will hurt themselves.

In Meng Ying's eyes, although he is young and immature in many things, overall, he can be regarded as a capable master. But for the ministers, the more enlightened the king is, the harder it will be.

Therefore, he also wants to do many things at this moment

Get ready.

Take this incident for example.

It is true that the Ming Dynasty's finances have entered the most difficult stage at this moment, because many things can be delayed for a while during the war, but after the war, it is finally time to do it.

Such as pensions, rewards, relief, etc.

But even so, there is no other way. To deal with these people, among other things, if you pull out the nobles here and let their tribe pay, you can always make a lot of money.

If these prisoners are given to Tuo Tuo Bu Hua again, maybe Tuo Tuo Bu Hua will have the confidence to break up with Ye first. Although there are still many problems with this plan.

The biggest problem is the emperor's attitude. Meng Ying knows that the emperor will not agree to this plan to a large extent. The reason is very simple. The emperor made such a big fuss in the capital and even committed the imperial edict. Now he is still letting the empress dowager in the Ancestral Temple.

Ancestor Taizong looked at the emperor's feelings and was determined not to have any kind of relaxation with Bei Yuan.

Therefore, Meng Ying's killing solved a problem for His Majesty and also gave himself a reputation as a good killer. With this reputation, I am afraid it can also relieve His Majesty's suspicion.

It's just that you achieve more with one stone.

Just when Meng Ying was explaining the reasons behind it to Meng Yuan in detail.

Tens of thousands of Tatars are facing their final days.

Countless Tatars were driven into a valley.

This valley was selected in advance. The mountain is relatively steep. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and only has a gap on one side. In order to prevent the Tatars from climbing, there are soldiers guarding the tops of the mountains on three sides.

The Tatars still don't know what's going on.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars who surrendered were generally better treated. Even several emperors in the Northern Yuan Dynasty were captured by the Ming army and were finally released. This can be seen.

When the army gives the order, all bows and crossbows are fired. Do these people know what the Ming army is going to do?

But at this moment, everything is over. They have nothing but shabby clothes, facing countless blunderbuss, artillery, bows and arrows. How can they find a way to survive?

Countless Tatars tried their best, but they were all beaten to death in front of the Ming army's formation. Then a large group of sword and shield fighters followed the fire gunmen. After the firearms opened the way, any sword and shield fighter was beheaded.

But killing is also a laborious task, and it took more than an hour to finish killing tens of thousands of Tatars.

The total number of Tatars killed by various ministries was more than 93,000. Meng Ying waved his hand and counted them as 100,000. After counting the heads, they arranged them in the shape of a pyramid of heads on the spot, with 10,000 heads per head.

The building is not big enough for a human head, so there is rammed earth in the middle to place the human head on top.

From a distance, it looks like a mountain.

This generation does not have a name, but the local hunters have a name, which is called Black Mountain. However, the Black Mountain that the locals refer to is not a mountain, but the large and small mountains in this area.

After this battle, Montenegro was positioned at Jingguan.

There are even rumors that there is a ghost gate here that goes deep into the hell. Whenever it rains, evil ghosts come out of the hell and wreak havoc on the world. When they see people, they shout: "Give me my head back."

This is a story for later.

The Ming army did not mention the victory of the squadron.

Before he came back, news came one after another, which made Zhu Qizhen happy three times a day. He was simply overjoyed.

This great battle, in which hundreds of thousands of people were beheaded, was enough to inspire the hearts of the world.

Although Zhu Qizhen used the Battle of Maoerzhuang to strengthen everyone in the imperial court's determination to take charge of the war, after Zhu Qizhen's sinner edict, the entire imperial court was rare and united to support the Ming army in fighting in the imperial court.

It even went so far as to give hundreds of officials half their salary.

Zhu Qizhen reduced his clothing and diet, and sold his official position. Of course, Zhu Qizhen did not dare to sell a serious official position because the impact would be too bad. However, the gentry sold an official position as a gift to their ancestors, just to look better on their graves.

.

Even so, many gentlemen are reluctant to do this. After all, everyone is not a fool. This false reputation is worth hundreds of taels of silver.

But many local officials took almost coercive actions.

Only then were several million taels of silver collected to fill the hole.

It even affected another industry, that is, the stonemason. After all, it cost hundreds of taels, and it was not less than a few taels of silver to replace a tombstone for my father and ancestors.

If Zhu Qizhen had not set up governors in each province in the official system to establish the status of the chiefs of each region, and with the governors watching, the administrative capabilities of the third or fourth divisions in each region would have been greatly increased, it may not have been possible to achieve this.

Without the unprecedented unity among the Ming Dynasty to combat Wazi, the efficiency of the civil service group would not have been so high.

But the Battle of Maoerzhuang was, after all, a defeat, a defeat that Zhu Qizhen will never forget. It was the biggest setback for Zhu Qizhen in the past few years since he was in power.

Zhu Qizhen wished he could take a mouthful of snake gall every day, taste it in his mouth, and then ask the eunuch to ask: "Have you forgotten Mao'er Village?"

Although Zhu Qizhen could not reach the level of the Murong family, he still kept this battle deep in his heart and was worried about it.

This battle can be regarded as giving Zhu Qizhen a bad breath.

Not only Zhu Qizhen was happy, but when the news spread, the entire capital city seemed to be celebrating the New Year, with thunderous cheers. After all, the soldiers who died in Maoerzhuang were all from the Beijing camp, and the soldiers from the Beijing camp were all from around the capital.

Dozens of health clinics.

In other words, they are all descendants of Shuntian Mansion. They grew up in the city of Beijing.

Now that revenge was avenged, both Ming officials and ordinary people were very happy. However, before the news had cooled down, Meng Ying posed a big problem for Zhu Qizhen, that is, the victory of beheading one hundred thousand people.
