Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 294 Sacrifice
After conquering the capital, Bai Mingxiu received the main mission rewards delivered by the system. This was the richest reward he had ever received, tens of millions of gold finger coins and tens of millions of taels of gold. Bai Mingxiu felt that he was so rich that he wanted to scared.

It's just that Bai Mingxiu is a boring guy, and he knows that relying on these things cannot make the country rich and strong, and the people rich.So far, Bai Mingxiu destroyed the Manchu Dynasty and completely changed history.

Some provinces in the north still have to be taken back one after another, but Bai Mingxiu doesn't think there will be any large-scale battles.After all, the capital has already been taken down, the little tartar of Xuanye was stabbed to death by the former eunuch, and Xiaozhuang was also taken by himself.Anyone surnamed Aixinjueluo was almost killed last night.

Because Bai Mingxiu did not bring many civil affairs officials with him in this military operation, and the Council of Liberal Affairs is also in Shanghai, so Bai Mingxiu is now a polished commander.He also does not intend to move the Lizhengyuan from Shanghai back to the capital for a while, at least wait for a while.The balance between the north and the south in China has always been a national matter. The south is naturally the economic center. If the political center is also located in Shanghai, the south will be emphasized and the north will be neglected, causing further imbalance in development.

"Your Highness, you are going to hold sacrifices in the capital, but there are almost no people in our army who understand the rituals of sacrifices, but a group of Han officials captured in Beijing are familiar with these things." Shuntian Mansion is under military control, which is equivalent to the current mansion. Yin is the brigade commander You Long.You Long didn't have any ability to manage affairs at all, at most he could maintain law and order and search for some illegal gains of the Tartars.

Bai Mingxiu was very disgusted when he mentioned these traitors, and said: "No need, we can deal with them as we like. Besides, our sacrificial system needs some reforms, and it will take a long time to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony, so don't worry."

Bai Mingxiu has already made up his mind. If it doesn't work, he can search the talent list in the system to see if there are similar talents.

In ancient times, sacrifices were very important.The great affairs of the country lie in worship and Rong.Although Bai Mingxiu has set up the two banners of science and people-oriented, many things that tend to be superstitious will not be done anymore, but Bai Mingxiu does not want to directly abandon many traditions handed down from the previous Ming Dynasty.

Sacrifice itself may not be effective, but what is more important is a self-identity as the inheritor of Chinese civilization and an indispensable sense of ritual.There is nothing more ceremonial about pen sacrifices. Through the tradition, Bai Mingxiu hopes to strengthen the cohesion of civilization.

The sacrificial system of the Ming Dynasty is generally divided into three levels of sacrificial offerings: large, medium and small. The large ones include Asahi, Xiyue, Yuanqiu, Fangze, Ancestral Temple, Sheji, and Xiannong; the middle ones include Fengyun, Leiyu, Yuezhen, Taisui, and Xingchen. , Haidu, Shanchuan, Xianshi, Banner, Emperors of all dynasties, Sizhong, Siming, Simin, Silu, Shouxing; the sacrifices of other gods are minor sacrifices.Among them, only the great priests were worshiped by the emperor himself, while the middle priests and minor priests were offered sacrifices by officials.Every year, there are 25 major sacrifices, [-] middle sacrifices, and eight minor sacrifices.

When Bai Mingxiu was in Nanjing, he had already paid homage to the Taizu. This time to restore the capital, Bai Mingxiu wanted to sacrifice to the former emperors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. The key point is to pay homage to Chongzhen. It's really a bit poor, and he needs to make up for it.

Bai Mingxiu put aside the matter of offering sacrifices for the time being, and was going to send a special person to plan the matter.

"By the way, no one has mentioned to me to bring my father back these two days." Bai Mingxiu said smoothly.

As soon as You Long listened to the music, he said to Bai Mingxiu, "Is Your Highness planning to let the Emperor come back and give way?"

Bai Mingxiu shook his head: "I haven't thought of this step yet, after all I'm still young."

You Long almost burst out and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, people often say that there were twelve prime ministers of Gan and Luo in ancient times, and there were many young people who accomplished great things, but Your Highness, you are really the best young man in the world among the fifteen. You are a hero, hahaha, my subordinates don’t usually think that His Highness is a young man, and I will forget if you don’t mention it.”

After all, Bai Mingxiu was a young man at heart, and this guy was born old-fashioned, not to mention after time travel, even before time travel, he felt old when he was 15 years old.

Bai Mingxiu is basically surrounded by system talents and people who stand in his interest group, and everyone almost subconsciously ignores the existence of Yongli.Basically, Yongli will do nothing except run away.So everyone still pinned their hopes on Prince Jian Guo.The prince has also supervised the country for two years. Although he is still young, there are many emperors who are 15 years old in the past.

At this time, You Long was a little serious, and suggested to Bai Mingxiu: "Your Highness, this matter still needs to be considered. Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, and it was precarious before. It is not bad to be able to live in Australia. But now, His Highness has already beaten the country. Come down, power is so beautiful, even if the emperor doesn't have such thoughts, there will always be some people who don't know how to live or die, and they will want to set their minds on him."

Bai Mingxiu thought about it seriously, and then said: "Well, at this point in time, if you don't deal with this matter, there will always be some bad troubles left."

You Long said with a smile: "According to me, there is no need to invite the emperor to come back, write an abdication edict, add the jade seal, and send it directly to Shuntian Mansion, and it will be done."

You Long has a cold and unscrupulous temperament, and he can be regarded as Bai Mingxiu's confidant, so there is nothing to block him.His proposal is obviously very crude, at least not good-looking, but it is also the simplest and feasible.

Bai Mingxiu is really not afraid of making any big disturbances, even if Yongli really has a bad mind and wants to make trouble, the military power is in his hands, and most of the people in the Manchu Dynasty belong to him, so he will come when the time comes Just a Xuanwu Sect change, Bai Mingxiu really doesn't care about such things as reputation.

You Long felt that he had said enough, so he said goodbye to Bai Mingxiu: "Your Highness, my subordinates are busy with official duties, and there are about a hundred thousand Tatars here ready to be shipped to Java. Hey, Java heard that you are always embarrassed. , Bacheng is prospering very quickly, and the population there is almost hundreds of thousands."

Bai Mingxiu thought about it for a while, and then explained: "By the way, we also have a lot of manpower now, and we are idle when we are idle. Let's spend all of them doing grassroots work. The agricultural cooperative is our trump card, and we have to use it when we come to the north. Especially near Gyeonggi, Huangzhuang and the Eight Banners are seriously encroached on land, and now we will distribute the land to ordinary people. Oh, we have to reserve room for future development.”

Bai Mingxiu is a person who doesn't value self-interest. The Huangzhuang originally belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he didn't want to be directly included in the management of the royal property of the Supervisor of Rites. Even if he wanted to buy land, the Supervisor of Rites would spend real money from it The country buys.Even the royal family cannot take advantage of the country, this is Bai Mingxiu's absolute principle.
