Chongzhen Chat Group

Everyone has curiosity, and many people even have a burning desire to gossip. But with Jin Yiwei around, they had no place to inquire for a while. Just follow them and wait for the queue of civil servants to arrive at the entrance of Zhonglie Hall. There are already a sea of ​​people watching out of curiosity.

"Do you know what is going on? Why do you look like these adults are in trouble!"

"No, it's like someone died in the family!"

"Look, there are even elders! The leader is elder Chengge!"

"What's wrong with Mr. Ge? Didn't you see that Master Liu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, is personally holding the battle?"

"What on earth did they commit? No, if they committed a crime, the Jin Yiwei shouldn't take them to the Jin Yiwei Prison. Why are they here at the Zhonglie Hall?"

"Yes, what are they doing at Zhonglie Hall?"

"..."

This is the first time something like this has happened. No one can guess what is going on? But it didn't matter. Just when they arrived at the gate of Zhongmart Hall, the commander of the Jinyi Guards Liu Xingzuo faced the crowd of onlookers and announced loudly: "A total of thirty-nine court officials deliberately slandered the frontline soldiers. The emperor was furious. How can such behavior be worthy of throwing his head? , the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty who shed their blood and served the country and the people! Without the heroic sacrifice of the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty, how could the country and the people be peaceful? The emperor’s special decree is that the martyrs of the Ming Dynasty must not be desecrated, and the hearts of the loyal martyrs must not be chilled, and the loyal martyrs’ halls must not be made to repent!”

After saying this, Liu Xingzuo urged these officials to go inside to worship the loyal martyrs. The crowd of people watching outside suddenly broke out into a "buzzing" discussion after the initial daze.

"Ah, it turns out that this, this...is this okay? They are all civil servants, they are government officials! Most of them are ordinary warriors!"

"What happened to the ordinary warriors? The emperor has already said that they died for our Ming Dynasty. Without their heroic fighting, would you be standing here screaming?"

"You're right, what happened to the warriors? If these soldiers hadn't fought with their lives, all the Jianlu soldiers would have invaded the city at the end of last year!"

"When the Jianlu were raging in the capital, all civil servants were hiding in the city, and there were military men on top of the city. In the Liaodong war, we fought over it, not them. Think about the Jianlu eventually retreating from the capital. , are we not harmed? Our final retreat from Liaodong must have also caused huge harm to Jianlu!"

"After the grassland war, the Mongolians must be frightened by the news, and the people on the border are living and working in peace and contentment. Whose credit is this?"

"..."

With the influence of the Great Victory on the Grassland, the emperor's final voice, and the civil servants organizing a group to worship the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty, the views of the people in the capital inevitably changed fundamentally.

To be honest, the so-called public opinion is actually relatively easy to control. Those ordinary people are most likely to listen to the wind and rain, have little information, and are simple-minded. They can get excited when they are fooled. He keeps his mouth open and close without taking any responsibility. He is no different from the keyboard warriors of later generations!

At this time, as the people's sentiments were correctly guided and they were made aware of the loyalty and dedication of the martyrs again, many people who had been discussed before finally came to their senses and secretly repented. As the specific results of the grassland war were announced, more and more people went to worship the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty.

Unknowingly, after this incident, the status of Ming Zhonglie was raised to a higher level in the hearts of ordinary people. The warrior's impression also changed accordingly.

This situation was already anticipated when Emperor Chongzhen issued an order for civil servants to pay homage to loyal martyrs. And this is the purpose of his decree.

To re-raise the status of military personnel to the same level as civilian officials and to achieve both civil and military affairs is not something that the emperor can do by issuing an imperial edict. After all, it has a history of hundreds of years. It is necessary to slowly change the views of the people of Ming Dynasty, to improve unconsciously, and to guide them to achieve this at the minimum cost.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was very busy at this time. Although the war on the grassland had come to an end, he still had to pay homage to the ancestral temple, hold meetings to reward meritorious soldiers, and discuss the follow-up disposition of the grassland after the war. It was almost one meeting after another, and he was very busy for several days.

Thanks to the early establishment of authority in the previous dynasty, the civil servants and military generals were very sensible, and no one dared to act against each other openly or covertly. The will of Emperor Chongzhen, with the cooperation of the first minister Wen Tiren, was formed into an imperial edict, which was transmitted from the Forbidden City. go out.

The first imperial edict appointed Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, as the naturalized governor, taking charge of the grassland military and political power. Collect herdsmen, rectify military equipment, and select sites to build cities. One of them was decided by the emperor's imperial pen, that is, there must be a city in Baotou.

At this time, Baotou was still a small town that gathered spontaneously, mostly where miners and craftsmen gathered. Emperor Chongzhen, who traveled from later generations, naturally knew that the mineral resources here were extremely rich, and there was no reason not to occupy them. To this end, the cement factory was specially ordered to set up a branch factory in the grasslands.

The second imperial edict was addressed to Yang He, the governor of the three sides. Let him organize the victims and send them to Guihua City as soon as possible, and the governor of Guihua will arrange to open up the Hetao Plain. The same imperial edict was also sent to the Governor of Xuanda and the Governor of Shanxi, asking them to organize the victims and transport them to the grassland.

The third imperial edict was given to the assistant minister Xue Guoguan, asking him to inspect various places and organize the transportation of grain and grass to the grassland.

It can be said that these previous imperial edicts mobilized almost all the manpower and material resources in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty to prepare for the large-scale development of the Hetao Plain.

But even so, the situation is still quite serious.

First, there are no city walls in the grassland. Although there is no large Mongolian influence in the Hetao area, there is no guarantee that the Mongolian influence far away from the Hetao will increase after they see the riches after the Hetao is reclaimed. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the Ming Dynasty's power farther away. It can be foreseen that Hetao will always be in war preparation for some time in the future.

Second, food is a big problem. Before the harvest from the reclamation of the Hetao, although there were captured grain, grass, cattle, horses and sheep, compared with people, it was still far from enough. Most of the food had to be transported from the interior. This will also greatly test Daming's logistics capabilities! However, what Ming Dynasty lacked most at this time was actually food!

Third, it is still a national issue. Now under the naturalized rule, most of them are still Mongolians. They have always been resentful about the fact that the bandits insulted the corpses of their clan members who died in the battle. If this problem is not solved, there will be no internal stability.

For this reason, the heads of Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong were returned to Huihua City, and Mangui, who was of Mongolian origin, was also sent to the grassland to serve as Hong Chengchou's general. As for the two left-wing generals, Hulu Kesaisang and Tashhai Saisang, they were left in the capital and allowed to serve as cavalry generals under the new commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, Rongzu Dashou.
