Chongzhen Chat Group

Hearing what the emperor said, the people of Yongping Mansion were all excited. How could he be so virtuous and capable that the emperor, who has so many things to do all day long, should be so worried about him!

I remember the despair of being forcibly driven out of the city by Jianlu and watching Yongping Mansion fall into a sea of ​​fire! I remembered the scene when I thought I was going to die, the iron hooves came rolling in, and the sea of ​​red military uniforms shouted "Rush to the aid of Yongping according to the emperor's order."

I recall that in the twelfth lunar month of winter, when I was about to freeze to death, I thought it was impossible to survive the late spring cold. I remembered that desperate time, when cartloads of clothes were delivered, and I heard that in accordance with the emperor's decree, the whole city of the capital donated clothes to the delivery scene.

I remembered that when I had finished eating the wild vegetables and thought I was going to starve to death, truckloads of food arrived. It was the emperor who controlled the food in the capital and forced the food to be sent to Yongping.

…

Thinking about the past, the older residents of Yongping Mansion shed tears of excitement. How lucky it is to have such an emperor!

There is nothing to express their gratitude. The people of Yongping Mansion can only kowtow again and shout with choked eyes: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

At this moment, they sincerely hope that Emperor Chongzhen will live long, and it is by no means just a slogan!

Their feelings are exposed and cannot be faked.

Emotions can be contagious, and these actions of the people of Yongping Mansion once again shocked Queen Zhou who came with her. At this moment, when she looked at the back of Emperor Chongzhen who was driving his horse forward, she suddenly felt very tall! This... is my husband!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already driven his horse closer. Facing the sincere people of Yongping Mansion, he was also a little moved. He stretched out his hands to signal and said loudly: "Everyone, please get down quickly!"

The officials of Yongping Mansion were also shocked. From the moment they went out to welcome the emperor, they felt that they were not the protagonists in welcoming the emperor and did not need to be guided. Instead, the people of Yongping Mansion took the initiative to greet him with their greatest affection.

They are scholars and can be said to be well-read, but they have never seen any emperor recorded in history books who is so popular with the people! Many of them decided to record this scene in their essays when they look back.

After Emperor Chongzhen signaled Ping, they stood up and asked the government officials to send a message to the people of Yongping Mansion to stand up together.

Emperor Chongzhen did not stop, driving his horse forward slowly, while scanning the excited crowds on both sides of the road, as if he wanted to keep each of their faces in mind.

After entering the city gate, climbed up the tower and looked into the Yongping Mansion.

The newly built Yongping Mansion after the ruins carried out unified planning and was built with cement, completing the reconstruction on the ruins as quickly as possible. Today's Yongping Mansion, at least from the top of the city, both the houses and the roads are in order, which is better than the previous Yongping Mansion.

Emperor Chongzhen watched for a while, then walked to the battlements of the outer wall and looked at the densely packed people of Yongping Mansion under the city. He took a deep breath and said loudly: "I heard that when Yongping Mansion was rebuilt on the ruins, the old man Regardless of the age, infirmity, or childishness, they all participated in the work of reconstruction. Just now, I saw that Yongping Mansion was well built and more prosperous than I imagined. Jianlu's You can't overwhelm us Yongping people with their cruelty! The people of Yongping Mansion are all good! I am proud of you!"

Hearing the emperor's words, the people of Yongping Mansion couldn't help but crowd under the city wall and looked up at the emperor. No one spoke, for fear that he could not hear the emperor's words clearly.

"Before, Jianlu sent spies to the pass. It was the heroes of Yongping Mansion who discovered them. In order to catch them, they were willing to sacrifice their own lives! This... is us Yongping people! I also So proud! If the Ming people in other places had remembered that they were Ming people and had the courage to resist foreign enemies, then so many tragedies would never have happened!"

Hearing this, many people in Yongping Prefecture showed proud expressions. Those who had sacrificed their lives had been enshrined in the Ming Zhonglie Hall and enjoyed the incense of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they came to Beijing, they would go to worship them. Fan. These are Yongping people and the pride of Yongping!

"I, the imperial commander, personally conquered the Jianlu people in Liaodong and avenged the people who died tragically in Yongping, as well as all the people who died in the hands of the Jianlu people in the Ming Dynasty. However, some of the Jianqiu people fled to the Japanese country and have not yet obtained their rights. punish."

At this point, Emperor Chongzhen's voice rose again, and he declared in a decisive tone: "I hereby promise you, don't say that these remaining Jian captives fled to the Japanese country, even if they fled to the ends of the world, the end of the world, I We will also send troops to destroy them!"

Hearing this, the people of Yongping Mansion clenched their fists with excitement. The hatred for Jianlu is engraved in their bones. If the emperor announced it in public, there is no doubt that those prisoners will be punished.

Thinking like this, the people of Yongping Mansion didn't know who took the lead. They knelt down under the city wall and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

At this time, many of them had a sentence flashing through their minds: Those who offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!

Many young men among them also made up their minds. When they turn around, they must go to the government and ask whether the Japanese soldiers who fought against Japanese prisoners are short of money or men?

Although today's Yongping Mansion does not have much money, it can squeeze out some; although today's Yongping Mansion is young and strong, there are still passionate men who are willing to take revenge with their own hands!

Emperor Chongzhen stayed in Yongping Mansion for a day, and then visited several surrounding cities before returning to the capital.

His words in Yongping Mansion also spread throughout the capital. Everyone knew that the emperor had made up his mind. Even if the remaining Jian captives fled to the Japanese country, the Ming Dynasty would not let them go!

Except for a very few people, this was the first time for everyone to hear this news, and they were a little surprised. After all, Jianlu fled to Japan. If the Ming Dynasty continued to pursue Jianlu, it would inevitably conflict with Japan.

For this, a small number of people feel that it is not worth it. However, most people strongly support it. The invincibility of the Ming Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so what if there are more Japanese opponents? A considerable number of people even dug up old accounts from that year. That is, during the Wanli period, the Japanese army sent troops to North Korea in an attempt to occupy North Korea and then invade the entire Ming Dynasty. Then moving forward, it is about the Japanese pirates causing harm to the south during the Jiajing period.

All in all, the Japanese people are not good birds. They should simply uproot them all together with the Jianlu and make them a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty and become a part of the Ming Dynasty!

Not to mention, this kind of statement became quite popular as soon as it came out. Many people shouted, destroy Jianlu and Japanese pirates together!

The reason why this kind of statement is so popular is, as mentioned before, Ming Dynasty is invincible!

There are no enemies in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and the threat of the Mongols has become a thing of the past. In the south, the Ming Dynasty also won battles one after another, and vassal kings were sealed off one after another. Just like Jianlu back then, when a force or country wins one victory after another, victory can unite people's hearts.

Another reason is that there has been no war in the north since then. Although the millions of frontier troops in the past have been eliminated, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops. If they are sent to Nanyang, they may be afraid of being acclimatized, but if they go to fight the Japanese country, it is their only choice to gain military merit.

If someone joins the army and has no military merit, how can he be granted the title of general? Therefore, when the words of pacifying the Japanese came out, the military in the north of the Ming Dynasty immediately responded and asked for war. Echoing the calls of the people, it can be said to be a huge momentum.

At this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty never thought that people would die in war, and the Japanese country had never been conquered before! They were also afraid that the emperor would not agree to kill the Japanese pirates along the way!

Only a few people know that they are worrying too much. But they knew that in order to destroy the Japanese country, the emperor had made a strategy to drive away tigers and devour wolves a few years ago. Now, the Jianlu who were driven to the Japanese country were fighting to the death with the Tokugawa shogunate of the Japanese country according to the emperor's wishes!

At the same time, the emperor also mobilized a considerable part of the Liaodong Army to train in the southern tip of Korea, with the purpose of landing in Japan and fighting. The original Denglai Navy was also renamed Liaoxian Navy and was stationed in Busan, preparing to fight against Japan.

Based on these things, Wen Tiren, the first assistant who knew the inside story, vaguely guessed that behind the current momentum, there might be a reason why the emperor was deliberately promoting it! Otherwise, why not go there at other times, but why not go to Yongping at the beginning of this year?

In fact, Wen Tiren's guess was correct. The current momentum of denouncement of the Jianlu and Japanese countries was deliberately done by Emperor Chongzhen. Not only that, he also made a series of other arrangements.

On the Japanese side, he planned to grant two vassal kings there. After the momentum is achieved, the remaining feudal kings will be allowed to bid. Getting some money from them to use as military expenditure can also help the national treasury spend less money.

Also, the original military towns in Jiubian will also select an army to support the Liaodong Army after the crusade against the Japanese gains momentum. With this kind of public opinion, the proportion of soldiers voluntarily participating will be much higher. Those who aspire to military glory and those who are passively transferred have different subjective initiative, and their combat effectiveness will be different. The feudal king's money was mainly used on these armies.

Through the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen's decree also reached North Korea, and propaganda began there.

On the North Korean side, since it became a province of the Ming Dynasty, the North Korean people are happy and sincerely happy.

The previous North Korea was not a small Chinese Confucian country that had been under Ming Zhengshuo for 500 years as later generations believed. To be precise, North Korea is an aristocratic collegial country, and its social status is determined by blood status. The imperial examination system of Confucian civilization was actually in name but not in reality in North Korea.

If your bloodline is not noble enough, you are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination. If your life experience is not noble enough, you are not qualified to be an official. The untouchables who have no life experience are actually slaves. Parents are slaves, children are slaves, and they are slaves for generations.

What is particularly sad is that there is a law of obedience to the mother in Korean law. This law stipulates that it is not that the father is a slave, and the offspring are slaves, but that the mother is a slave, and the offspring are slaves. The reason for this is very simple and straightforward—— Knowing the mother does not know the father is the way of an animal.

The reason why people are nobler than animals is because they know who their parents are. Those in power in North Korea legally stipulate that the untouchables in North Korea are equal to cows, horses, chickens and dogs. Such Korean untouchables probably accounted for more than 80% of the total population of Korea at the beginning of the 17th century.

It is precisely because of this background that the Koreans' fighting power is very poor. After all, who is a slave who will sacrifice his life? If Jianlu had been kinder to this class after arriving in Korea, it is estimated that Jianlu would have turned the Ming Army into the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the combat effectiveness of these Korean efforts would have soared.

It's just that in this plane, it's a pity that Jianlu doesn't have such an opportunity. Under the Ming Dynasty's continuous attacks, Jianlu used North Korea as a granary. Search hard to make them unpopular.

Nowadays, most North Korean officials have followed Jianlu or been coerced by Jianlu and fled to Japan. Most of the remaining Koreans were untouchables. After becoming common people in the Ming Dynasty, their status was suddenly improved, so how could they not be happy.

On the land of North Korea, Ming Dynasty has long expressed its intention to fight across the sea. The army was mobilized for training in the last section, and the navy was also stationed in Busan. All of this makes North Korean locals very supportive.

For them, the Japanese lands across the strait were all their enemies, whether they were Japanese people, captives, or officials from Korea. Therefore, they strongly supported the imperial army. After the draft, many North Koreans joined the army, either as soldiers or sailors. Their subjective initiative has also been fully utilized.

Not to mention, at least there are many Koreans in Li Zhiqi's navy. They are very familiar with the hydrology of this part of the strait, and their presence will be of great help to the navy.

The scourge of establishing captives in Korea caused a significant reduction in the population of Korea. By the time the Ming Dynasty liberated Korea, basically no one who could survive was old, weak, sick or disabled. Correspondingly, this also reduced Ming's food relief to North Korea. In addition, Cao Bianjiao chose to attack when the grain was about to be harvested and seized a lot of stored grain. This made the lives of the people in North Korea much better than during the reign of Jianlu.

With this foundation in place, Emperor Chongzhen could rest assured to use this place as an advance base for future attacks on the Japanese.

Spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was almost done, so he privately chatted with Qian Fugui in the chat group: "Tell Hauge, just say that you saw the news in the chat group, saying that Ming Dynasty will not let them go, and they must prepare to cross the sea." Continue to destroy them."

Qian Fugui was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what the emperor meant, so he confirmed: "Your Majesty, if my subordinates tell Hauge, wouldn't it put the Japanese captives on guard?"

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I just want them to know that you just do what I want. In this way, Hauge can also know that you are indispensable!"
