I have to say that Princess Jianning is really a rare beauty, with oval face, big eyes, beautiful face, white and tender skin, and a smile on her cherry lips. She is indescribably charming, but she is not the kind of petite and cute Jiangnan woman. At only thirteen or fourteen years old, he is already five feet, two and three inches tall. Where he should be round, he looks quite round, but he doesn't look fat at all.
"Haha, she is indeed a beauty... I never thought that fat man like Huang Taiji could have such a daughter." Zhu Cixiang commented with a smile.
Princess Jianning was not angry at all after hearing this, and even laughed: "Your Majesty, I follow my mother, so I look good... Your Majesty, you also look good, do you follow my mother or my mother?"
Emperor Zhu smiled and said: "You will know this issue once you have met the Emperor and the Empress. Now you must remember to follow your husband when you get married! You are my woman now, and you will be a Han from now on. You don't want to be called E Niang or Amma. Call me daddy, do you understand?"
Feudal society! Of course, it is about husband's rights. Except for matriarchal society, everyone is like this, so as long as Princess Jianning enters Emperor Zhu's palace, she will be Han.
In addition, it was also ancestral for the Ming emperor to include women from enemy monarchs in his harem. Zhu Yuanzhang often did this kind of thing... to promote national integration!
"My slave knows it!" Princess Jianning smiled as brightly as a flower and agreed quickly.
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Your brother Fulin and I will start a war soon, but this matter has nothing to do with you... You are my woman, and you are so beautiful. I will pamper you all the time. Yes. But the rules in the palace are very strict. If you break the rules, I still have to follow the rules."
"What is family law?" Princess Jianning asked with a smile, "Do you want to beat the slaves?"
"Yes!" Zhu Cixiang deliberately kept a straight face, "I want to beat him hard! Is it scary?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Princess Jianning was not afraid at all, "As long as you don't hit her too hard, I won't be afraid anymore."
Zhu Cixi laughed again. This girl is quite interesting. The palace will definitely be happy when she is around from now on.
"Old Tian," Zhu Cixiang said to Tian Shuchen, "take her to Jinzhu Residence for resettlement, and let Dongzhu teach her the rules in the palace and elementary school courses."
"Your servant accepts the order." Tian Shuchen responded and took Princess Jianning away.
Emperor Zhu then said to Banbulshan: "Banbulshan, go back and talk to Fulin... I like Jianning very much, and now we are considered relatives, so we must keep a close eye on him in the future! No matter where we go, When will there be royal palaces reserved for him in Laoshan, Nanjing, and Wuhan! By then, he will not be able to be the emperor, but he will still be a prince. The title has been decided for him, and he will be called Prince Gong or Prince Shun. He will still be a prince in the future. The royal relatives and relatives enjoy endless wealth and splendor."
After hearing this, Banbulshan thought to himself: He has a palace, but what about me? Your Majesty and I are also related! Will he also be a relative of the Ming Dynasty in the future?
"You don't have to worry," Zhu Cixiang said with a smile, "We are also relatives... You are the auxiliary Duke over there. When you come to me, you can step down one level and become a marquis! I will give you the same title. There will be no shortage of glory and wealth in the mansion and Xundian."
Emperor Zhu was playing dirty tricks, and he had to let everyone in the Qing Dynasty know... National integration is the general trend, and there is still a future for "returning to fate, peace, and Chenliu"!
So think carefully before doing bad things, and don't do it so brilliantly, otherwise there will be many people from Henan in the Ming Dynasty. Li Yan, Hou Xun, Hou Fangyu, Shi Kefa, and Feng San are all from Henan!
Whoever digs a dam on the Yellow River and floods their hometown will not be fought by a group of high-ranking officials in Henan every day in the future? Are you having a good time?
Of course, Zhu Cihong would not say anything to threaten Emperor Shunzhi on behalf of the people of Henan - he had to act like he didn't care. Why should he care about the people of Henan? They were neither relatives nor friends, and there were many people from Henan who followed Li Zicheng in rebellion!
This is actually playing psychological warfare with these people from the Qing Dynasty!
In addition, Zhu Cixi also really did not want Fulin to slip away and become the "Emperor of Manchukuo". This would be splitting the motherland!
We are all relatives, how can we watch Emperor Shunzhi become the criminal who split the country?
And there are a lot of bad people in the world now, such as Spain, the Rakshasa country, the English country... they all look pretty bad!
If Fulin, the Mongolian Khan and Qing Emperor, slipped away to the northeast and fell into the hands of Duduo, then Duduo would be able to legitimately succeed to the Mongolian Khan and Qing Emperor. When the time comes and we collude with several imperialists, the war in Northeast China and Mongolia will be far away.
So it would be great to invite Fulin to Nanjing to be Prince Gong or Prince Shun.
By then the Qing Dynasty will be legally dead, but what matters more is whether Emperor Shunzhi or the Great Khan of Mongol will be the emperor! The Mongolian people cannot live without the Great Khan! Shunzhi quit, and Zhu Cixiang could only reluctantly work as a sweat for them.
It is impossible to block the Rakshasa Kingdom to the north and west of Lake Baikal without the support of the Mongols... The Rakshasa Kingdom's logistics can travel through the Arctic Ocean, Yenisei River, and Angara River.
Who can the Ming army rely on to go to the Mongolian Plateau? Are you still not allowed to eat Mongolian cattle and sheep? What else to do? There are more than 2,000 kilometers of land route from Haikou, Tianjin to Lake Baikal. A 10% delivery rate for 1,000 kilometers is amazing, and 1% for 2,000 kilometers! Sending a hundred shi of grain can only reach one shi... It is not unreasonable that the Ming Dynasty could not pacify Mongolia in its heyday!
...
At this time, Emperor Shunzhi did not know that there were three magnificent Prince Gong's palaces waiting for him to stay in Nanjing, Laoshan and Wuhan.
He was climbing up to take a long view. He climbed to the Meishan Mountain behind the Forbidden City. He stood under an old locust tree with a crooked neck and looked at the city of Beijing under the setting sun. He was accompanied by a loyal old eunuch... This The scene is really beautiful.
It is a pity that there are no huge crowds of enemies outside Beijing today. Emperor Shunzhi only climbed up to check the terrain, and did not reach the point of despair.
However, Shunzhi has already prepared for the worst, that is, relying on Beijing City to fight the Ming Dynasty army in the Northern Expedition for the final battle!
The city of Beijing was originally a solid fortress. Before the Jiajing period, the outer city of Beijing (also known as the Chongcheng) did not exist. It was a roughly square city with a circumference of 45 miles. The city wall is four to five feet high, the bottom of the wall is nearly seven feet thick, and the top of the wall is more than five feet and three inches thick. Beijing's Fortified City (inner city) has 9 gates on the city wall. Each gate is protected by an urn. In addition, there are four turrets, three water gates, 172 enemy towers, and 11,038 battlements outside the city. There is a moat 30-60 meters wide.
Although the city of Beijing is just a classical castle before the advent of the era when artillery dominated the battlefield, the 20-meter-thick city wall cannot even be affected by the Hongyi cannon - this is not an empty talk. When the Yongding Gate was demolished before, Shunzhi The emperor had people use the Hongyi cannon to blast it, but it couldn't be hit at all!
But Shunzhi is still worried... He already knows that Nanming can now cast up to 24 pounds of bronze cannon!
And the foreign devils also have a 48-pound super bronze cannon!
It is estimated that the inner city of Beijing cannot withstand such a heavy cannon... so the city of Beijing must be further reinforced.
Therefore, Emperor Shunzhi ordered that materials from the demolition of the outer city of Beijing (including materials obtained from the demolition of various buildings in the outer city) be used to strengthen the inner city of Beijing.
Of course, even if one side of the inner city wall with a circumference of 45 miles is reinforced, that little material is not enough, and there is no need for that. According to the suggestions of city-building experts invited by Zhsbania, all 9 gates, 4 turrets, and 172 enemy towers in the inner city of Beijing had to be greatly strengthened.
The four turrets and nine city gates were all converted into prismatic forts, and four Hongyi cannons were placed on each fort.
The 172 enemy towers were all transformed into semicircles, and their roofs were built with logs and sandbags. The battlements were also specially reinforced, making them easy to hold on to.
After the reconstruction, Beijing's defenders no longer needed to guard the 45-mile-long city wall, but only needed to guard 9 gates, 4 turrets, and 172 enemy towers, a total of 185 strongholds. On average, 100 people are placed in a stronghold, and 20,000 defenders are enough to defend Beijing.
