"Fellows, fellow soldiers, and soldiers, after I learned about this incident yesterday, someone advised me to wait.
For the part just guessed, you can wait until Wang Chengyin's confidants are announced before the court reacts.
Even if it is true, the court can pretend not to know, come forward to clarify that it is false, and then slowly be forgotten by the public over time.
But after much thought, I decided to summon the generals and common people to reveal the truth of the matter.
If a country wants to have long-term peace and stability and convince its people, it must maintain integrity and act in a royal way.
If you are wrong, you are wrong, and if you are wrong, you must bear the consequences. "
"For this reason, the imperial court has come up with countermeasures. For the innocent people who were killed by Wang Chengyin and the merchants who were robbed and died, I will build a memorial tower, bury Wang Chengyin and others in front of the tower, and carve stone statues to kneel in front of the tower..."
"The hijacked materials will be returned in full. The person who died will be compensated for twenty years based on the average monthly income of the person in the three years before his death. For example, the previous monthly income was 5 taels of silver, which is 60 taels a year. Then the court will compensate One thousand two hundred taels of silver."
The combination of words such as mourning tower, Lingchi, stone statue, city-wide memorial, etc. shocked all the people, soldiers, and merchants.
They also learned that the governor's Yamen offered one tael of silver a day to recruit craftsmen to build the stone pagoda yesterday. It turned out to be for the purpose of building a memorial pagoda.
The king is noble, the official is illustrious, the people are despised, and the businessman is despised. This has always existed.
In the past, if something like this happened, the most that could be done would be to kill the person who made the mistake, and then nothing would happen.
But when the new emperor came here, he actually did so many things, it was like a big girl getting into a sedan chair - all at once.
Especially the amount of silver compensation made everyone short of breath.
"I admit, I'm envious!"
"What are you envious of? Envy to death? Are you not mentally ill?"
"You know the ball, if it can be exchanged, I would rather die. My money is three to two months a month, and according to His Majesty's compensation, it is seven hundred and twenty taels.
With such a large sum of money, you can buy dozens of acres of fertile land. As long as your family doesn't get involved in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, the next three to five generations will be a good life.
If you can train a scholar or even a Jinshi, your destiny will be completely changed. "
"Yes, think about it, can we stay in this caravan for the next twenty years? Will this caravan always be there?
In this chaos of war, we might encounter thieves. Hey, I'm really envious. "
"Your Majesty is so generous!"
…
The merchants and common people in front were all talking quietly, their words full of envy.
And it’s jealousy to death, as weird as you want it to be.
"Fellows and fellow villagers, are you satisfied with this handling?"
After a moment of silence, the crowd cheered, and congratulations such as His Majesty's Holy Ming, Ying Ming, Long Live, etc. circled around the school grounds.
Seeing this situation, Chongzhen, Han Huang and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
When the memorial tower is built, the incident will be written in a more egregious way, the evil deeds and evil thoughts of Wang Chengyin and others will be magnified, and the conflicts will be concentrated on them.
Then the results of the processing will be exaggerated to reflect the justice of the court and the emperor and the consideration of the people. In this way, the affairs of the people and the caravan will be handled.
Not only will the people not complain about the imperial court, but they will become more convinced of the imperial court.
The rest is the reaction of the various Mongolian tribes in Monan.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen continued: "My fellow soldiers, I am saying that if, if the Mongolian tribes are not satisfied with my handling of this, and take the opportunity to claim more compensation from the Ming Dynasty,
We even used this as an excuse to attack the Ming Dynasty. How should we deal with it? "
Chongzhen's words made the school fall into silence.
They are soldiers, protecting their home and country, and it is only natural for them to go into battle and kill the enemy.
But war represents blood and death. Today's brothers may become the dead souls under the scimitar of the Mongolian cavalry tomorrow.
No one dares to beat his chest and say that he will not die.
No one would die if they could avoid dying.
"Your Majesty, I think we should fight!"
In the quiet school grounds, the roar of Hou Gongji, who had been instructed by Chongzhen, could be heard several feet away.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so presumptuous!"
Hou Gongji walked up to the platform and looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers on the campus: "Fellow soldiers, seventy-seven years ago, Anda Khan led his troops to invade the Ming Dynasty and captured the Xuan Mansion.
Then the troops trapped the city of Beijing, and the people around Beijing burned, killed, and looted, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of people and the loss of tens of millions of taels of silver.
Our town, Xuanfu, is the leader of the Nine Borders, but it was attacked by a small barbarian tribe. This is a shame for our town, Xuanfu.
The generals were too frightened to do anything, and the sergeants were afraid to step forward. Watching our compatriots being killed and robbed was a disgrace to my Xuanfu sergeants.
More than seventy years ago, I was not born and did not catch up with the time.
But now this general has become the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, and the enemy is about to invade our Ming Dynasty territory.
Do we still have to watch the tragedy of history repeat itself again? Do you want your wives, children, parents, relatives, and friends to be killed as well?
We, the Ming Dynasty, are a country of etiquette and a great dynasty. We will not invade others.
But the enemy came in. I didn’t say, fight, beat them sons of bitches! "
Hou Gongji waved his long sword, his face flushed with excitement. Because of his words, all the soldiers grabbed their weapons and looked at Chongzhen on the general stage.
Whether to fight or not depends on His Majesty the Emperor. There is hope in everyone's eyes.
"Okay! Well said!"
Chongzhen took a step forward and shouted angrily: "Do you know how this JiaKou mutual market came about?"
“Because Anda Khan’s tribe (Tumote) had plundered many times and saw that Ming Dynasty was easy to bully and demanded the opening of mutual trade.
The imperial court had no choice but to agree to open the mutual trade in Zhangjiakou Fort. "
"It is said that our Ming Dynasty is the toughest dynasty. We do not cede territory, do not make peace with each other, do not claim vassal status, and do not pay tribute. The emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country."
"But what I want to say is that in my opinion, this mutual market is a different kind of marriage, and the annual gift given to me every year is a different kind of tribute.
Rather than letting others say it, I would rather take the initiative to tear off this shame leaf. "
"Shame is not terrible. What is terrible is that you have to compromise for the sake of face.
Face is given by yourself, not by others. Only when you are strong can you have the toughest face. "
"I am here to announce that starting from the first year of Chongzhen, the annual gifts given to Tumut will be cancelled. If Tumut wants to fight, then fight!"
"The garrison died in battle. Enter the participating generals. The participating generals died in battle. Enter the guerrillas, deputy commander-in-chief, and commander-in-chief.
If there is no commander-in-chief, then I will do it myself. I, a Ming Dynasty man, am not afraid of death! "
"Fellow soldiers, do you dare to fight with me?"
