Outside the city gate of the capital, there is an urn city. Wengcheng has an arrow tower in the front, and a closed space is formed by city walls and gates on both sides of the back.
Arrow towers generally do not have city gate openings. Instead, a gate opening was opened on the wall of Wengcheng on the side. In this case, the city gate and the city gate of Wengcheng are not in a straight line.
To enter the city from the gate of Wengcheng, you need to enter the Wengcheng first and then turn around to see the city gate. This design is to prevent the arrow tower from falling and the enemy troops to directly attack the city gate.
There are nine gates in the north city of the capital, five gates in the south city, and two small gates, Dongbianmen and Xibianmen.
These gates basically open from the side of the barbican. However, there are three city gates that are different. They all have city gate openings under the archery towers, and the gates of the archery tower and the city gate are in a straight line.
One is the front gate, and the arrow tower and the city gate are in a straight line. We went to the square today and could still see it. The second one is Yongding Gate, which is the main entrance of Nancheng.
The arrow tower is also in a straight line between the city gate and Yongding Gate. These two city gates are located on the central axis of the capital.
The third city gate that is in line with the Arrow Tower Gate is Guang'an Gate. That is the west gate of Nancheng.
Why are these three city gates not opened on the side of the barbican in accordance with the principle of military defense first?
Because these three city gates are what the emperor wants to enter. And it is impossible for the emperor to take the side door. In other words, only these three city gates were used by the emperor.
When the emperor leaves the city, he must go through Guang'an Gate instead of Yongding Gate. At this time, when a large group of people went to Changping Imperial Mausoleum to worship their ancestors, it was most convenient to go through Guang'anmen.
In the Ming Dynasty, Guang'an Gate was called Guangning Gate, also called Zhangyi Gate, which was the name inherited from the Jin Dynasty. This gate is on the same axis as the Changui Gate in Jinzhongdu.
It was not until the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty that Guangning Gate was changed to Guang'an Gate in order to avoid the taboo of Minning, Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty. At this time, Chongzhen's carriage and his troops exited Zhengyang Gate, turned right on Liangguang Road, and headed towards Guangning Gate.
After exiting the city from Guangning Gate, go north along the official road to Changping. At this time, many people gathered on the streets of Guangdong and Guangxi to watch.
Because as soon as you enter the North City from the main gate, except for the small area of Qipan Street, it is all part of the imperial city and entry is prohibited.
For such an important event, the merchants on Qipan Street have long been expelled, and Qianmen Street has also been put under martial law.
If the common people wanted to see the beauty of the sky and see the grand ceremony of presenting prisoners, they could only gather on both sides of Liang-Guang Road to watch.
At this time, the restaurants, teahouses, shops, etc. on both sides of Liangguang Road are crowded with people. On both sides of the road were soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and patrol battalions maintaining order.
Prevent anyone from disturbing the holy driver. These officers and soldiers used spears to push the onlookers back horizontally to maintain order on the road.
The officials of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Patrol Battalion were sweating nervously. If something goes wrong, their heads won't be strong enough.
When the people in the capital saw the emperor's arrival, they knelt down and kowtowed in excitement. While kowtowing, they shouted long live.
The people in the North have been harmed by the Mongols for a long time. The court is getting worse every year. No one protects them.
Since the Tumu Fort, the offensive and defensive trends of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have reversed. From then on, the Mongols started a pattern of often attacking the capital city.
The Oara people first, and the Tatar Anda Khan came to the capital with their armies to plunder in circles.
If Wu Zong hadn't secretly left the capital and defeated Dayan Khan in Datong, Mongolia would fall into division again. Maybe the Tatars will come to the capital twice.
Every military disaster caused great harm to the people of Gyeonggi. Their hatred for the Mongols goes deep into their bones.
In the past, when the imperial court failed to live up to expectations, the people could only feel hatred in their hearts. Now the court finally cheered up. Uncle Dingyuan had pacified Monan and put all these traitorous chiefs to death.
The people were really indescribably proud, just like drinking the iced sour plum soup in the middle of the night during the dog days of summer.
Chongzhen enjoyed the heartfelt love of the people very much. His face was flushed, as if he was drunk.
On both sides of the street, densely packed people kowtowed and shouted long live.
For the first time, I felt the glory and dignity of being a promising king. Many old people kowtowed and communicated with each other through tears.
They still remember the Jiajing Dynasty, when Anda Khan attacked the capital. A relative who died in the clan. Abducted children.
Robbed property. There is also the old thief Yan Song who allowed the Tatars to plunder and prevented the emperor from deploying troops to serve the king.
What nonsense are you talking about? An Dahan is just a bunch of hungry thieves. They will go back naturally after they have robbed enough. Now, God showed mercy and finally gave Ming Dynasty a wise king.
When the young man ascended the throne, he quickly eliminated the eunuchs and eliminated the scourge of Wei Zhongxian. And now, Monan Mongolia, the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty, has been completely solved.
For the first time in two hundred years, the threat from the north was gone. Why not make these people excited? Seeing the prisoners being escorted by the imperial guards, the people's emotions became excited again.
They grabbed all kinds of sundries and threw them at these evil people. They kept going south to plunder, causing great suffering to the people of Ming Dynasty.
Khan Ahai is over seventy and old, but he never expected to suffer this humiliation. A smelly shoe sole flew over and hit him right in the face.
Then a rotten egg flew over and landed on his head, and his head was suddenly covered with egg yolk. He originally wanted to commit suicide in Zhao Prison because he knew that he could not bear the humiliation.
But as people get older, they become more afraid of death. The older I get, the more I love money. I wanted to commit suicide several times but could not muster the courage. In the end, I can only sigh and live one day at a time.
It's better to die than to live. Maybe the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will be merciful and give him an official title to let him go back. Buyan Ahai was not much better, Duoyan was removed from the list.
He also became a prisoner. He hates it so much, that old bastard Su Budi is as cunning as a ghost. He had already hidden.
Now he is Huang Taiji's guest, and he has become a prisoner of Ming Dynasty. Facing the green cabbage leaves flying in like raindrops, the dirt and rubbish, and the worn shoe soles...
These nobles of Taiji, who were aloof and regarded Han slaves like pigs and dogs, felt for the first time the terrible anger of the Han people.
If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the soldiers on both sides to stop them, they had no doubt that they would be jumped on by these angry people and bitten to death.
The eyes of these people are so crazy, like wolves on the prairie. Scaring them to their very core.
When the motorcade arrived in front of Zengshou Temple, many young people in Tsing Yi appeared on the north side of the street.
It can be seen from the clothes that these people are students of the Imperial College. Most of the people here come from Enyin, that is, there are more of them descendants of nobles, relatives of the emperor, and meritorious officials.
There are also many chieftains whose eldest sons were sent here to study from an early age. Then there are the Sui Gongsheng, who are talents from various places who pay tribute to the emperor.
At this time, Kang Qiang's powerful chanting sound suddenly came from outside the carriage.
"This emperor's divine power is Zhou Xuan, who wrote the chapter on the Southern and Northern Expeditions." The recitation alarmed Chongzhen, and he and the queen opened the curtains of the carriage and looked out.
I saw the prince-in-law Gong Yonggu and the students from the Imperial College lined up neatly and reciting with their heads held high.
"One family in the four seas has a celestial calendar, and two rivers and hundreds of counties have songs, mountains and rivers." Chongzhen was excited. Yes, this world is the land of the Ming Dynasty.
Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. Since he ascended the throne, he has worked hard to become stronger. This is the time for him to conquer hundreds of battles in the south and display his grand ambitions.
"All the gentlemen stick to their own policies, but the men with lofty ideals donate their youth in vain!" Li Biao, Qian Longxi and others' brows jumped, these words were particularly harsh to them.
Obviously these imperial students are not going towards Uncle Dingyuan. They don't have any plans for marriage. They are playing very impressively in the northwest.
On the contrary, Dong Lin's group not only failed to improve in Liaodong, but also caused chaos in Jizhen.
"The snow in Jingluo has faded and the spring is moving again, and the grass on the Yongchang Mausoleum is green." People in Donglin felt very uncomfortable. Is this the emperor's dissatisfaction? Why did the emperor's brother-in-law lead these students from the Imperial College to recite Lu You's "Books" in unison? anger".
Is this anger directed at Donglin? But for them, to be fair, Dong Lin has basically not accomplished anything in the two years since he came to power.
The Qing army even made Jizhen rebel. After Yuan Chonghuan came to power, there was no progress in Liaodong.
Recently, he was impeached by the censor for negotiating a peace secretly.
