Rectifying the administration of officials, rectifying the military and political affairs, returning the land to the people, etc., the Ming court's decades of stagnation were wiped out.
If something goes wrong with the emperor, if there is another emperor, there is no guarantee that things will go back to the way they were before. They are truly grateful to the emperor.
Xuanfu was only three hundred miles from Beijing, and at an accelerated speed of six hundred miles, by the first quarter of the afternoon, they were already outside Beijing.
The six-hundred-mile express was standard, and without any inspection, the postman rode directly into the city.
The people who had already heard the ringing of bells, the hoofbeats of war horses, and shouts had already moved to both sides of the street, clearing the middle road.
This is the experience of living in Beijing. Otherwise, if you are killed, you will be charged with delaying the military situation.
"Great victory!"
"Victory on the grassland!"
"Your Majesty personally conquered and won a great victory!"
…
The postmen shouted, and the horses went straight to Wenyuan Pavilion outside the Meridian Gate. They happened to meet Yuan Keli, who was rushing out from Wenyuan Pavilion, and officials from six ministries and nine ministers on both sides.
"Mr. Ge, urgent report from six hundred miles away!"
Jin Yiwei took the package from the postman, checked the fire seal seal mark, and handed it to Yuan Keli.
"Take it down and have a good rest!"
Yuan Keli opened the letter as he spoke. As the letter unfolded, each battle report appeared in Yuan Keli's eyes.
hiss……
Looking at the battle report, Yuan Keli's pupils tightened and his beard trembled a few times.
The smile at the corner of his mouth slowly widened, from silent to laughing.
The old and loud voice echoed in the square in front of Wenyuan Pavilion.
What made him happiest was the Jade Seal of the Nation in the battle report. The destruction of Chahar and the recovery of Tumut were nothing compared to the Jade Seal of the Nation.
Based on his experience, he naturally knew that this jade seal could do many things.
When the surrounding officials saw this, they were all curious. What kind of battle report made this famous official who had been in the officialdom for decades so lose his temper?
Han Huang behind him looked at the surrounding ministers and whispered: "Brother Li Qing, what news makes you so happy?"
"Xiangyun, good news, great news, take a look too!"
After saying that, he handed the battle report in his hand to Han Huang, and Li Biao and Li Guopu also came forward.
Just for a moment, the three people's breathing became rapid. Han Huang's hand holding the letter was shaking, and the three people's eyes were full of disbelief.
Then the adult burst into laughter, as if he was crazy.
Watching this scene, the surrounding Liubu Jiuqing was even more curious, as if there were several cats in his heart, and it was extremely itchy.
"Hahaha...this is really great news!"
"Your Majesty is mighty, the Ming Dynasty is mighty, and the Ming army is mighty!"
"This achievement, looking at the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, is one of the few!"
Yuan Keli looked at the ministers with a smile on his face: "My lords, if this news comes out, I guess everyone will not be able to sleep tonight!"
"Forget it, let's not say anything and wait for the edict tomorrow!"
Depend on……
The ministers felt as if countless grass and mud horses were trampling over their heads. They secretly complained about Yuan Keli's "immorality" and looked at Yuan Keli with eyes full of resentment.
"Mr. Yuan Ge, I don't want you to be so appetizing!"
"Yes, Mr. Ge, you said you couldn't sleep, but if you didn't tell us, we wouldn't be able to sleep!"
"Mr. Ge, this is a great victory and a great joy. Please tell us so that we can be happy too!"
"Alone Better Together!"
…
Yuan Keli looked at the booing ministers and knew that everyone's curiosity had been aroused. He immediately said: "It's all gone. What are you doing? If you want to know, please buy the Daming Daily early tomorrow, hahaha!" "
"Come here, please bring His Royal Highness King Fu, Commander Li Ruolian of the Jinyi Guards, and the Chief of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to come over!"
After saying that, they headed towards Wenyuan Pavilion. Han Huang and the other three looked at the ministers and smiled without saying a word, then followed them into Wenyuan Pavilion, leaving behind the ministers who were full of resentment.
It’s not that Yuan Keli deliberately titillated people’s appetites, it’s just that there was too much content in the battle report, and it was passed on by word of mouth. After it spread to ten people, the taste changed, and it was easy to cause conflicts.
Under the magnificent shouts of the Minister of Rites, the ministers slowly returned to their own rooms, but from time to time they looked up at Wenyuan Pavilion.
Not only them, but the people in the entire capital were looking in the direction of Wenyuan Pavilion, waiting for the news of good news.
Unfortunately, no news came out from Wenyuan Pavilion until San Yamen, but there were many more officials and royal guards coming in and out.
Even before the city gates were closed, a number of famous guards in royal robes rushed away from each city gate, which added to countless speculations.
While countless people were suffering from insomnia and waiting anxiously, the morning bell rang, the five city patrols lifted the night ban, and countless wealthy merchants and gentry rushed out of their homes.
Some rushed to the Daming Daily factory, some rushed to the bulletin boards of various government offices in the capital, and some rushed to the streets to wait at the haunts of the newsboys who usually sold the Daming Daily.
Crunch…
The door of the Daming Daily factory slowly opened, and dozens of sergeants walked out of the gate. Behind them were more than a dozen carriages loaded with Daming Daily and more than a hundred children selling newspapers.
When it got daylight, the scene where the battle report of the siege was announced reappeared.
Every child selling newspapers in the entire city of Beijing was surrounded by water, and hands holding copper coins reached out to the children. The scene was absolutely spectacular.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone who had picked up the Daming Daily couldn't look away after seeing the content on the front page, and was petrified on the spot.
"In the second year of Chongzhen, on the third day of March, His Majesty personally conquered Chahar. One hundred thousand troops set out from Beijing! Chahar's 90,000 troops were destroyed. Lindan Khan of Chahar was captured alive, and all the leaders of the tribes were beheaded. !”
This is the headline on the front page of Daming Daily, and below is the story of the entire war.
On the eighth day of March, His Majesty gathered the generals at the Xuanfu campus by beating drums, and detailed the border crimes committed by the Mongolian tribes for more than 200 years. He vowed to cripple all the tribes, and then set out from Xuanfu to attack Guihua City!
On the same day, Datong Commander-in-Chief Hei Yunlong led an army of 80,000 people from Datong Town to encircle Guihua City with His Majesty!
On March 15, the army clashed with the front of Chahar. The two sides tested each other and won or lost each other!
On March 16, the two armies faced off head-on. The Ming army destroyed more than 50,000 Chahar cavalry in one battle. The Ming army killed more than 6,000 people and injured more than 3,000 people!
That night, Chahar Lindan Khan abandoned the city and led his remaining troops to flee westward. General Heiyunlong led his army to press hard.
…
On March 23, Hexi cavalry intercepted the remnants of Ezhe, the eldest son of Lin Dan Khan, who was crossing the Yellow River, and beheaded numerous people.
He also obtained the three greatest treasures of the Chahar tribe: the Golden Buddha Mahakala, the protector of the country in Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Buddhist Tripitaka Sutra of Zhangzhong, and the jade seal passed down to the country.
…
After reading the content on the front page, everyone holding the newspaper was stunned and their minds were dizzy.
The contents of the battle reports are more shocking than the last.
At this moment, everyone holding the Ming Dynasty Daily was petrified on the spot, and the entire city of Beijing seemed to be frozen by the laws of space.
