This was the first time for Li Yan to come to the capital. A few months ago, he traveled north from Taiyuan to fight for reinforcements. He walked straight to Miyun from Changping and passed by the capital. He had been a thief for many years and had thought about the day when he would be able to reach the rumored majestic capital city where merchants are like clouds. After a trip, today's dream came true and I came to the capital with an upright identity.
Thanks to the abundant supplies from the Qing army obtained in the First Battle of Ningyuan, among which the most important ones were war horses. Li Yan's troops exchanged shotguns for cannons. The soldiers' rags had long been thrown away, and most of them wore Qing army uniforms. His subordinates were originally mainly infantry. At that time, there was almost one man and one rider, and he could be said to be extremely wealthy.
After escorting the baggage to Chang Yu, he was impatient and ordered a team of people to carry the heads. Although he went first, he finally rushed to the capital one day after Chang Yu, but encountered the biggest shock in his history.
When we were less than ten miles away from the capital, we saw nearly ten thousand people outside the capital, cheering and cheering, and it felt like darkness was covering the sky and the sun.
Li Yan was very excited, but also very confused. First, his surname was clearly Li, so why did the people in the capital call him General Wu? Second, the emperor actually welcomed him in person!
Li Yan, who was bursting with gratitude, did not realize at this time that this incident would be ridiculed by several of his friends for several years. The common people thought that they were welcoming Wu Sangui and Wu Shaobao who defeated the enemy in the first battle of Guanning.
Emperor Chongzhen was not the one who came to welcome him, but he came to set the pace, to see with his own eyes what his confidant eunuchs said about Jingguan, and at the same time to inspire the people and let them continue to have confidence in the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, since it was just the right time, he had to show off. Li Yan rode alone in front of the emperor, dismounted and fell to the ground, calling the guilty minister directly. Emperor Chongzhen got off the car and helped him personally. He called General Li, and Li Yan was so excited that he almost burst into tears. , a down-and-out scholar who had no aspirations, took it as his own duty to save the people from fire and water, and joined the bandit army for the sake of his ancestors. He was brooding all day long, just waiting for the day when the clouds will clear and the sun will clear, and the sky will see the Emperor Ming!
A few words of sincere condolences made Li Yan feel grateful from the bottom of his heart, but he saw Emperor Chongzhen looking northward: "Where are those Tartar dog heads?"
"Back to the emperor, the convoy is at the rear." Li Yan pointed to the distance, where his cavalry were already in formation, and nearly half a hundred carts were roaring from behind.
Nearly 10,000 Tatar heads were salted with quicklime and loaded into trucks and driven thousands of miles to the capital just for viewing!
Jingguan, also known as Wujun, this kind of almost inhuman and dehumanizing thing has disappeared for many years. Unexpectedly, it was brought back to the world by Chang Yu. In the Battle of Taiyuan, the killing of the thieves and the construction of Jingguan attracted a lot of attention. He was scolded and angrily accused of being perverted, cold-blooded, and inhumane.
But Emperor Chongzhen felt that their hatred was too much. Why did the Ming Dynasty reach the point where it is today? It was not because of these internal and external troubles. He hated the traitor army and the Qing army.
Building a Jingguan is a way to show off your military exploits and humiliate your opponents. It is a very powerful means of psychological pressure and is very effective in suppressing their morale.
Emperor Chongzhen did not leave the palace alone. He was also accompanied by Crown Prince Zhu Cihong, Prince Consort Gong Yonggu, and several important ministers such as Chief Assistant Li Banghua. At this time, they all got off the car and followed the emperor to greet Li Yan and wait for the motorcade to approach. Looking at the people onlookers, everything within three hundred steps is a restricted area.
As the carriage and horses approached, some guards stepped forward and lifted the covering, and a carriage's head came into view. Everyone covered their noses and frowned and shouted softly. In fact, this was just a subconscious action. The weather was still cold at this time, and there was quicklime on the head, so there was no need for it at all. They were just shocked by the fishy smell of so many heads. When they thought that the dozens of cars behind them were all loaded with heads, they couldn't help but be horrified, and several civil servants had already started to feel weak in their calves.
But Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were burning, his face was ferocious and full of violence, and he moved forward, followed closely by Chang Yu and Li Yan: "The dog Tatars have occupied my land, plundered our people, and killed my soldiers. I can't wait to slaughter them all." Got you."
Emperor Chongzhen shouted sternly, while the civil servants behind him were trembling but did not dare to move forward. Zhu Cixiang, on the other hand, was bolder and walked closer and looked at his mouth with a grin: "The Tatars are so ugly and invisible, are there rat tails behind them?"
Chang Yu couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. Although dead people's heads are not good-looking, this Tatar's head is also a bit ugly, mainly because of the weird hairstyle.
As we all know, the hairstyle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the money rat tail. Those who like Qing palace dramas may think it is not very ugly, it is quite good-looking, no, no, that is already the hairstyle of the late Qing Dynasty.
From the late Jin Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, the hairstyle of the Manchu people was just a small amount of hair on the back of the head, which was as thin and long as a rat's tail. Let alone the rough-looking nomads with such hairstyles. Ethnic people don't look good when they stay, even Peng Yuyan is ugly when he comes.
Then the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and the hair on the back may gradually grow more and more. By the middle period, it was half the back of the head, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the whole forehead was exposed, which looked much better.
Emperor Chongzhen vented his grievances that had lasted for more than ten years, and immediately ordered a temple to be built with Tatar heads under the Great Wall at Gubeikou in Miyun, to worship the spirits of Ming soldiers and soldiers in heaven, and to frighten the Tatars.
Another decree: A great victory outside the customs, amnesty for the whole country, and exemption from taxes in Henan and Shanxi for three years!
Chang Yu just proposed tax exemption last night to calm the people's hearts. Today, he took advantage of the popularity and issued an order. It is a seamless connection. Those who can be emperors are all old fritters!
In fact, Chongzhen was not born so sophisticated. Emperor Tianqi died suddenly at the age of 23 and had no heirs left. He said: "My brother should be Yao and Shun." Suddenly, a piece of pie in the sky made him emperor, but he never How can one become an emperor without any preliminary training in the profession of emperor?
So if people said Wei Zhongxian was bad, he would kill him. If anyone said Dongchang was bad, he would close it down... After being used as a gunman by civil servants for more than ten years and causing the Ming Dynasty to be devastated, he has finally left the army. Especially in the final stage, suddenly It broke out! The tricks are so beautiful!
Emperor Chongzhen led his troops back to the city, and Li Yan accompanied him. His subordinates were ordered to garrison outside the city and set up camp on the spot without entering the city. There are different opinions on this. Some say that Li Yan's tribe was a bandit army that surrendered. His unstable mind may be due to the unrest of the people in the city. It was also said that the person stationed outside the city was the eunuch of Dongchang. He would go south to suppress the bandits tomorrow. Li Yan was also going to go, but for the sake of convenience, he was not allowed to enter the city.
There are different opinions, but Li Yanbu doesn't care. Before, he was a rat crossing the street and everyone yelled and beat him. Now he is suddenly supported and welcomed by the people of the capital. It doesn't matter whether he can enter the city or not. Besides, he is in charge of the outside, and he is in the city. How could it be so comfortable to enter a military camp?
So as soon as the emperor left, they immediately dismounted and camped in the wilderness to rest. The common people were even crazier than them. They crowded in front of the car to take a closer look at the Tatar heads. They were shocked at first, but then some boldly stepped forward and kicked them. He yelled and cursed the Tatars, and then everyone started kicking, beating, and scolding them. Some people even kicked and cried about the Tatars' crimes. Thousands of people came and the scene got out of control!
Then don’t control it! Just let them vent.
Just like that, dozens of carts were surrounded by thousands of people venting their emotions. The soldiers stayed away and sat in the field to watch. As they watched, it became dark, and the people gradually dispersed, leaving behind a group of people. A mess.
It's so cruel. Some soldiers looked at the trampled heads on the ground and sighed!
