Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Chatting while waiting for Emperor Chongzhen is a disrespect in front of the palace, and it is no joke to be referred to a book.

Empress Zhou who was not far away also wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said in a low voice, "I don't know where Your Majesty is? Has Zeng Qing decreased?"

Concubine Yuan, Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Wan and Concubine Yi, who were beside Empress Zhou, did not speak at all—Empress Zhou could speak at this time, but the others could not answer.

Empress Zhou herself didn't expect anyone to answer her, the rules in the palace, her family is clear, and a difference in status in the strictly hierarchical palace is a world of difference.

After a long time, the vanguard of this long dragon finally appeared, but it was not the majestic Emperor Chongzhen that everyone imagined.

The leading soldiers carried their swords obliquely behind their backs, controlled Ma Jiang with their left hands, and held the golden altar with their right hands.

The crowd on both sides of the road suddenly fell silent, whether they were civil and military officials or ordinary people, they all stared at the long dragon in disbelief.

Many people are familiar with the golden altar held by so many people - it is used to hold ashes.

In front of this long dragon with tens of thousands of riders, each of them holds a golden altar in their arms, that is to say, how many tens of thousands of people died in battle?

These cavalrymen ignored anyone's intentions and turned a blind eye to the wine bowls on both sides of the road. After entering the city gate, they went straight to the south, in the direction of the Martyrs' Shrine.

It was not until the last column of cavalry carrying the golden altar passed that the guard of honor of Emperor Chongzhen appeared, followed by Emperor Chongzhen and the soldiers behind him who did not have the altar in their hands.

Before the arrival of Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou took the concubines of the harem down from Luanjia and waited beside the road.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen came to stop the horse, Empress Zhou bowed gracefully: "Your Majesty has returned from victory after conquering thousands of miles. Congratulations to His Majesty! Congratulations to Daming!"

After Queen Zhou finished speaking, Concubine Yuan, Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Wan, Concubine Yi, etc. followed behind her and bowed together: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to Daming!"

Then, Wen Tiren and other court dignitaries bowed together and said: "I congratulate Your Majesty! Congratulations to Daming!"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand with a smile, motioning for Empress Zhou and the others to flatten, but instead of dismounting, he laughed loudly: "I led a hundred thousand cavalry, and won Mosibatur in one battle, slaughtered twelve Tatar tribes, built Watch Yu Yanran in Beijing, show off your martial arts, and deter dissenting ministers! Great Ming wins!"

After Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, the soldiers who followed Emperor Chongzhen drew out their sabers, pointed at the sky obliquely, and shouted together: "Ming wins! Your Majesty wins!"

The more than 2 soldiers who were not holding the golden altar shouted together, and immediately led the surrounding people to shout together: "The Great Ming is victorious! Your Majesty is victorious!"

This is the best sound in the world!

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen raised his hand to stop.

More than 2 soldiers stopped shouting one by one, and then the shouting of the people gradually stopped, and Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "Get off your horse!"

The soldiers in front who heard the voice of Emperor Chongzhen got off their horses one by one, driving the soldiers behind to follow suit.

Emperor Chongzhen came to the wine table that was arranged in a long queue and stretched for several miles. He took a bowl of wine and drank it in one gulp. He didn't care about letting the wine drip from the corner of his mouth.

……

Emperor Chongzhen who had returned to the palace could finally relax, and the string that had been crumbling since he left Beijing was finally relaxed.

Even though Emperor Chongzhen was still in the mood to read Duan Xiaorong's works on the Yidu battlefield, that was also for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to read - I am in the mood to watch Liu Bei, so why do you have anything to worry about?

If you fight with me, you must win the battle!

Emperor Chongzhen did not immediately summon Wen Tiren and other bigwigs in the civil service system, but relaxed for a while - how to relax is an indescribable part.

Then, Emperor Chongzhen thought carefully about what Zhu Chunchen said when he was in Yidu.

Zhu Chunchen once said at the time that it would be better to rest and recuperate for two years if he continued to use troops now.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that what Zhu Chunchen said was quite reasonable at the time, and the more he thought about it along the way, the more he felt that Zhu Chunchen was right.

I dug out a part of Daqin's Military Merit Lord Mingtian House System. Although there are some modifications, it is not safe to copy, but the horror of this thing has been fully revealed.

The entire military is studying where to fight like crazy, and where to fight. The purpose is not just to expand the territory, but more for military merit.

But from the perspective of Emperor Chongzhen, he cannot make military achievements for the sake of military achievements.

Military merit must serve the entire Ming Empire, this is the premise!

And what makes Emperor Chongzhen feel uneasy most is that the current territory is too big!

That's right, from ancient times to the present and even to later generations, except for the prodigal sons of the Jiannu group who sell their fathers and don't feel sorry for them, no emperor has ever had a headache but made Emperor Chongzhen feel a headache!

Too much land will cause headaches?

If someone asked this sentence in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen would tell him without hesitation, yes!

Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, in addition to Liaodong, Nurgan Dusi, Duogansi Xuanweisi, Wusizang Xuanweisi, and Daliuqiu in the original territory of the Ming Dynasty, the newly acquired land includes North Korea, Ryukyu, Xinming Island, Java, Luzon, and a large piece of land that has not yet been officially named on the African black uncle's side!

That's all, without counting the "Kyushu Island of the Japanese Kingdom" leased by Ming Dynasty, and according to Emperor Chongzhen's brave temperament, it would be hell if this island could be returned!

The greatest possibility is to completely turn Wa Kingdom into a part of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the matter of the Wa country is not in a hurry. After all, there is plenty of time to slowly study that piece of land, but there is a piece of land as big as the Leshi Grassland directly in front of us.

If you don’t know how big the Leshi Grassland is, then put it in the most intuitive way—equivalent to the combined area of ​​Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Duogansi Xuanweisi in the Ming Dynasty!

Even Chahar, Tumed, Haochen, Chahar, and Tainingwei didn’t arrange for such a large grassland before, and suddenly there was such a large grassland, it is conceivable that Emperor Chongzhen would What a pain in the ass.

In fact, the egg pain was not limited to Emperor Chongzhen, but even the Ming Dynasty's court institutions such as the cabinet and the Ministry of Households were having headaches.

If the place is big enough, there must be people living there, right?Can a place without common people be regarded as one's own home?

Jiannu in Liaodong is a lesson from the past!

Of course, there is such a road as immigration can be chosen, but are all places immigrating to the real side?

How many people does Daming have now?Even if you count all the escapees and hidden households, including those who sold themselves into slavery, it is estimated that they will not exceed [-] million!

Although there were many natural disasters after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, in theory there should be a lot of refugees, but in reality?

In fact, in order to get a basic plan at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Emperor Chongzhen was the most ruthless about disaster relief!

It’s not a big problem to be greedy at ordinary times, but if you die, you will be made into a scarecrow. If you are greedy during disaster relief, it will be a major event that will affect the three clans and even the nine clans!

The people who received the relief could survive, and the people who suffered the disaster later knew that the government would not let them alone. The Ming people who had confidence in their hearts didn't care about the benefits of the relocation!

Who would want to go to those remote places to live if they could stay in Daming, the center of the Heavenly Kingdom?

Chu and Qin were regarded as barbarians despite being canonized by the Zhou royal family, and were despised by the people of the Central Plains. Isn't this a practical example?

The common people are unwilling to relocate, of course it is not a big problem, after all, there is another word called forced relocation, such as Huguang reclaiming Sichuan created by the slaves, and the fifty-mile inward relocation of the ban on the sea are all real examples.

Even Emperor Chongzhen played it several times, such as moving people to Luzon, Java and other places, these things have been done many times.

But can you do it all the time?

Emperor Chongzhen was not an idiot, he could think of it if he thought about it, and if he continued to do this, the common people would have opinions.
