Chapter 174: God...is going to change(1/2)
November 15, the first year of Chongzhen.
This day is destined to be recorded in history!
Since the Wanli period, the rise of the Jurchens in Liaodong and the three generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty, countless wars have not only not suppressed the rise of the Jurchens, but has made it stronger and stronger, and even become a confidant of the Ming Dynasty.
When Chongzhen arrived in the dynasty, the Later Jin even advanced to the front, and the Central Plains was in turmoil and almost lost!
Now, the achievements of the sky are so great that it is a great victory!
Of course, it is enough to report to the great joy of the ancestors of the Taimiao! It is also enough to inspire people and promote national prestige!
Therefore, since Nurhaci was defeated and awarded the title of the head, in addition to the proposal of reward, the focus of the court has been on this prisoner offering ceremony.
And this November fifteenth day is the day of the auspiciousness set by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Heavenly Prison.
On this day, the genius was in a daze. Outside Yongding Gate, there were already crowds of people. The people in the capital who were sitting firmly, were almost boiling!
The Later Jin plundered Beijing Ji, but the blood had not yet dissipated, and hatred was still deeply engraved. In this way, more and more people gathered.
Fortunately, the Jinyiwei worked hard to maintain order and separated a road of about ten feet among the crowd.
"Here, come!"
I don’t know who exclaimed, but the crowds of people were also boiling in an instant!
I saw that between the sky, under the rising sun, the iron cavalry rushed, and the march sequence was like a long dragon rushing towards the Yongding Gate!
"stop!"
In the end, the army reached the edge of the crowd and suddenly stopped, and tens of thousands of soldiers were neatly arranged.
"Enter the city!"
Looking at the open Yongding Gate, there were crowds of people and the storm of roaring sounds in his ears, Li Xiu was also in a state of excitement. He raised his hand and waved his horse first, and the army followed closely behind in an orderly manner, passing through Yongding Gate and entering the capital.
There are so many people, so loudly shouting, and parading with praises, looking at the Ming Dynasty, how many people can enjoy this treatment?
In this way, almost every brave guard soldier had a flushed face and tried extremely hard to maintain his own posture and military appearance. This kind of occasion must not be embarrassing!
At this time, inside and outside the city gate, and on both sides of the street, there were also neatly standing a row of Jinyiwei soldiers.
The long sound of horns was still echoing in the air. When Li Xiu looked up and looked at him, it seemed that the entire capital was alarmed. The streets were filled with people, and even the roofs along the street were filled with people watching.
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
The soldiers of the Jinyiwei along the street also shouted loudly the moment Li Xiu passed through the city gate.
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
"General Li is mighty!"
This shout also completely ignited the enthusiasm of the crowd. One by one, the shouts rang out continuously, and the entire capital was exploded!
However, when the cavalry passed by, rows of Later Jin prisoners who were guarded appeared in the eyes of the people, shouting enthusiastically and suddenly changed. The eyes of hatred gathered, and all kinds of filthy things were thrown at these Later Jin Tartars from all directions like rainstorms.
In such a situation, it is naturally impossible for anyone to stop it. Even such arrangements are to allow these people full of hatred to have a way to vent their hatred, so that their great revenge has been avenged and the people's hearts will be stabilized!
Kuogong paraded the streets, entered the city from Yongding Gate to Zhengyang Gate in the inner city.
According to common sense, the army was not allowed to enter the Zhengyang Gate. At most, Li Xiu led some elite troops to escort the prisoners to the Meridian Gate to offer prisoners.
But Zhu Youjian this time opposed the public opinion and said that he wanted to meet him in person, these soldiers who fought for the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the nature of the Emperor of the Yongweiying Camp's personal army was not too contrary to the etiquette system. Therefore, this iron-blooded army also passed through Zhengyang Gate and headed straight towards the Meridian Gate.
At this time, above the Meridian Gate, the Ming emperor Zhu Youjian had already been waiting at the Meridian Gate with his ministers.
In fact, under the intervention of Zhu Youjian, there were many problems that did not conform to the etiquette system.
But all this, under the deterrence of the great victory, is no problem.
Just as now, the emperor led all the ministers to welcome them before the Meridian Gate, this was something that had never happened in the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the key to offering prisoners is to offer one word, and the emperor personally welcomes it, so what else can I say about offering prisoners?
"Here you come!"
A sharp-eyed official clearly saw that at the end of the Meridian Gate Square, soldiers appeared!
At the same time, the rumbling drums also sounded, but the drum sound was not the sound of ceremony, but from the Yongwei Camp!
Before the generals arrived, the war drums had arrived!
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
The loud sound of war drums, coupled with the uniform footsteps, the increasingly majestic military formation was like an approaching towering mountain, which seemed to have pushed many court officials a little breathless!
"You guys, follow me to review the Great Octavians!"
Zhu Youjian turned his horse on his back, and the court officials also followed closely.
Outside the Meridian Gate, the towering military formations were lined up and the military power was so naked that it appeared in front of the Ming Dynasty's center so naked for the first time.
The military formation shouted in unison, and Zhu Youjian's excited and flushed expression, everything made the court officials following him look complicated.
Finally, when he returned to the Meridian Gate Tower, the envoys of foreign countries sat down, and the emperor led all officials to live on the tower. At this moment, the ceremony of offering prisoners officially began.
The head of Nurhaci, Huang Taiji and a group of powerful and powerful figures in the Later Jin Dynasty, were once arrogant, and now they were shackles and knelt down before the Emperor's emperor.
The Minister of Rites held the edict in his hand and shouted loudly, stating that he would count the crimes and responsibilities of the Later Jin Dynasty, and then talked about the great achievements of the battle. Finally, he set the tone of the prisoner ceremony.
The mission of Huang Taiji and others is far from over. The emperor still has the Taimiao prisoner. After the process is completed, there is only one last step. He will be taken to the court and beheaded to quell the public's anger!
And before the emperor offered prisoners to Taimiao, of course, there was one most important thing to do.
It is also the highlight of this ceremony, and it is also a time when court officials are extremely complicated and entangled!
That is to reward the three armies and enfeoffed the great soldiers!
In this battle, supporting the building to the generals and saving the country from danger is undoubtedly a heart-warming victory!
He killed tens of thousands of Mongolian Tartars in the Later Jin Dynasty and countless prisoners. He decided the country's destiny in one battle, which was a result of a storm.
Such great contributions really made many court officials tremble and frightened.
It is a custom for civil servants to govern the country. Although the nobles are still there, they have already formed a tacit understanding with civil servants over the years.
Now, Li Xiu, an alternative person who was feared and suppressed by the court, has torn apart the court's unspoken rules with his brave guards and his team, standing in front of everyone with his brave guards.
Suppress!
Everyone in the court, whether it is civil servants or nobles, wants to suppress it!
After all, Li Xiu's squeeze in and destroyed not only the rules, but also violated the interests of both civil servants and nobles!
but……
In the face of this skill of splashing the sky, in the face of this great victory, in the face of these tens of thousands of iron-blooded teachers...
Moreover, the position of Governor of Jingji is below ten thousand people, and in name, Li Xiu has already commanded all the military forces of Jingji.
Of course, in fact, this is true. On the eve of the decisive battle with Nurhaci, Li Xiu specially drew out most of the elite troops from the garrison in the capital. At the same time, Erwazi rushed to Jizhen and took the opportunity to mobilize the remaining Jizhen generals!
Although it is not entirely under the control of Li Xiu, no one dares to make any changes under the power of this great victory.
As a result, the confidence of civil servants and nobles has dropped to the lowest point in history!
Even if you don’t want to, you must not lose any reward!
It can even be said that under such a powerful force, Zhu Youjian has already begun to ignore the rules!
The court officials had no big objection to the reward, and the only objection was their position.
The court officials naturally wanted to send Li Xiu away, and he could do whatever he wanted to do, but how could Zhu Youjian want to do so?
The power of the Jing Ji Bing was under the control of Li Xiu, and he lived an extremely free and easy life during this period.
In the past, his words were in the ears. His decree was almost useless after leaving the palace. But now, who dares to ignore his words in the court? Who dares to ignore his will?
With Li Xiu's existence, he, as an emperor, had the confidence to lift the table and the confidence to lift the table, so these arrogant courtiers naturally became honest.
How could Zhu Youjian lose his martial arts?
Under its forced push, the rewards were also implemented bit by bit.
At this moment, under a series of complex, anticipated, or gloomy eyes, several officials walked down from the Meridian Gate Tower, bringing this highly anticipated reward!
He was granted the title of the Left Governor of the Governor of the General Office of Li Xiu, the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng, and the title of Zhenbei Hou, and the title of iron scrolls, python robes, and hereditary titles! And there were countless other rewards!
Li Xiu naturally learned about this reward from Zhu Youjian, and even this was the result of his refusal.
According to Zhu Youjian's idea, he wanted to directly grant Li Xiu the title of Duke and become the number one noble in the Ming Dynasty. Although Li Xiu was moved, he eventually refused forcibly.
Zhu Youjian repeatedly advised him seriously, but Li Xiu refused. Until the end, Li Xiu had no choice but to leave only one sentence to Zhu Youjian, that it would be no longer too late to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty in the future!
In this way, Zhu Youjian did not persuade him anymore, otherwise, a Duke would be really scary.
Of course, even if it is not a Duke, the courtiers are undoubtedly much more complicated than Zhu Youjian's smile at this moment.
Xu Feng was granted the title of Rubo, and was appointed as the general of Jizhen!
Zhou Yuji was named Huaianbo and a title of rank, and was appointed as the general of Xuanfu!
