At this time, the cabinet was still quarreling. Dong Lin's opinion is to eradicate these remnants completely and take them to the market entrance to be chopped down.
So that all nine sides can be abolished. The Jin Party and other local forces suggested that they should adopt a soft strategy and appropriately weaken these Mongolian nobles.
Because the Han people are not willing to live on the grasslands. The garrison was overburdened. If troops were stationed on the grasslands, those who provided food and wages and dispatched civilians would definitely be from the northern provinces.
They will not be recruited from the south of the Yangtze River. This will increase the burden on Northland. They believe that the north of the Ming Dynasty is so dry and the grasslands are even more difficult. It is sheer nonsense to allow the garrison to farm on the grasslands.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed on the Monan and Liaohe lines, which is equivalent to one more Guan Ning army. This is a huge burden.
The two sides were having a heated debate, and the elder Ge and the six ministers were quarreling with red faces. At this time, a eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony hurriedly walked in.
"My lords, what are you doing? Long Live Lord's carriage has already left the Meridian Gate. If you don't set off quickly, you won't be able to keep up later." Li Biao and Qian Longxi were shocked. They didn't expect the emperor to Without waiting for them, he left first.
The eunuch seemed to understand what they were thinking, and stamped his feet and said: "Everyone, you don't even look at what time it is now. Mao hour has passed, and it is now the fifth quarter of Chen hour." Suddenly, the ministers panicked. They were in a group, but they didn't expect to lose track of time after arguing for so long, so they rushed out of Wenyuan Pavilion and ran towards the Meridian Gate.
Fortunately, the emperor's driving requires very smooth driving. So the speed was not fast, and the civil servants were panting and finally caught up.
Zhang Shize was riding on a horse with the nobles, and he couldn't help but laugh. Li Biao's hat ran away, so he quickly picked it up and put it on.
Bi Ziyan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, lost his shoes and quickly put them on again. In the end, it was the Minister of War who was reliable, walking as fast as flying, and was the first to catch up with the team.
"You bastard, what are you laughing at? You have behaved disrespectfully before the king. Do you want the imperial censor to impeach you?" The new British Duke was so public that he glared at his incompetent son and reprimanded him.
Zhang Shize had no choice but to hold back his laughter. But the nobles, seeing the miserable appearance of the civil servants, were all in a happy mood.
These old-fashioned dishes are usually served to five to six people, and the noble ones don't want them. It's rare to see a peep of their wretchedness.
This time the emperor's team first went to the Changping Imperial Mausoleum to pay homage. The large group of people came out from Chengtianmen and stayed on Tianjie Street for a while.
One is that Chongzhen is the emperor after all. Although he is angry, he cannot laugh at the jokes of civil servants like nobles.
Moreover, these cabinet elders, bachelors, and six ministers are all old men, and there are not many young ones. If something goes wrong and he can't breathe, he will be a fool.
Just wait for them in the square. The other one is waiting for the captives of Mongolian nobles who were escorted out from Jinyiweizhao Prison and Jingshan Rear Training Ground.
Bring them in from the East and West Chang'an Gate and join the team. Naturally, the prisoners must be taken with them. High-ranking nobles such as Jinong, Taiji, Tabu Nang, etc. were imprisoned in the Zhao Prison of Fusi, Jinyiweinan Town, and were closely guarded.
As for the small leaders such as Na Yan and the Shepherd, they were detained together with Jia Juan at the Jingshan rear teaching ground. After all, there are too many people to be detained in Zhao Prison.
No one expected that Uncle Dingyuan would carry the Monan Mongolian pot. At this time, more than 2,000 nobles and family members were arrested. Which prison has room for them?
Chongzhen opened the curtains of the car window with his hands and looked at the prisoners escorted from the Jinyiwei Yamen on the west side of the square. Ordos Jinong has the highest status and he walks in the front.
He was wearing a Ming Dynasty prison uniform, with iron chains, squinting his eyes, and walking numbly under the scolding of the Jin Yiwei.
He had just come out of Zhao Prison, and his eyes were still not used to the strong sunlight outside. Cover your eyes with your hands.
Behind them are Ordos, Tumote, Haraqin, Duoyan, Alxa and Tabu Nang.
They were disheveled, took off their shiny golden prison uniforms, and put on tattered linen prison uniforms, feeling very depressed.
The quality of these linen clothes was very poor, and they were full of burrs, which made my whole body itchy and even more uncomfortable than painful. Jin Yiwei did it on purpose.
Over the past two hundred years, Monan Mongolia has caused misery to the border people. They are angry and deliberately tormenting them.
They didn't dare to retaliate openly, and they wouldn't let them have an easy time anyway. The Jinyiwei were engaged in intelligence, and they naturally knew the misery of the Han people being captured and forced to be slaves on the grasslands.
"Queen, please see, these thieves are the leaders of the Mongolian tribes in Monan. Uncle Dingyuan has caught them all this time. I, the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, have nothing to worry about." Chongzhen said to Queen Zhou in a somewhat ostentatious manner.
"Except for the old fox Su Budi, who did not participate in the war and ran away early, all the Taijis from Monan are here." Empress Zhou immediately complimented: "This is all because Your Majesty has a keen eye for recognizing people and promoted Uncle Dingyuan at a young age. Time, as the saying goes, horses with thousands of miles of horses often exist, but bole does not always exist. Uncle Dingyuan's success is the result of your majesty's support and trust." Chongzhen laughed loudly and said: "How can the queen follow my words? But you This makes sense, if I hadn't given Uncle Yuan the opportunity, he would still be making iron in Zunhua."
"Yang Fan's work is done. The only thing left is to stabilize the northwest. The north has basically settled down. Let's look at Liaodong next. Yuan Manzi promised me that as long as all his requirements are met, five The Liao Dynasty will be restored to the Liao Dynasty in 2018. I'm just waiting and seeing." Empress Zhou said with a smile: "President Yuan had successively achieved great victories in Ningyuan and Ningjin. He killed many Jiannu slaves, and there are rumors outside that the old slave chief Nurhaci was killed in Ningyuan. He died of his injuries. It can be seen that Governor Yuan is really capable of dealing with Jiannu. Your Majesty will soon receive good news from Liaodong." Chongzhen shook his head slightly with a worried look on his face and said: "At that time, I had just ascended the throne, and I didn't understand many things. Now it seems that many of what Yuan Manzi said at that time were to deceive me because I was young and inexperienced. Looking back now, looking back at what he said and what he did, I felt like I was being deceived. Feeling." It is very terrifying to say such words in the mouth of an emperor.
There was a sudden silence in the car, and Queen Zhou did not dare to answer the conversation. The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule. Although this rule depends on whether the emperor or the queen mother is in power.
From the perspective of Zhu Zhanji's queen, Sun Ruowei, the ancestral rules are bullshit. His brothers hold all the military power.
However, there is no doubt that Chongzhen has a firm grip on power. With his old-fashioned temperament, it was impossible for his harem to interfere in politics, which would lead to the loss of control of the power of his relatives and repeat the mistake of Ming Yingzong who was couped by his relatives in his later years.
"It wasn't until I saw Uncle Dingyuan pacifying Monan Mongolia that I realized that the restoration of Liao in five years requires an elite force with field combat capabilities. But has the Guan Ning Army ever won a field battle except with the help of a fortified city?" Queen Zhou remained silent, even though she I don’t understand military matters, but what your Majesty said makes sense.
Guan Ning's army consumes millions of military pay from the country a year, but it is an army that cannot fight without a strong city.
