"On March 24, the second year of Chongzhen, the three armies were encircled. The Tumut tribe was trapped in Daqing Mountain. After beheading more than 10,000 people, the Tumut tribe was forced to surrender. The imperial court set up the Lifan Yuan and this plan to manage the Mongolian tribes. !”
"On March 27, the second year of Chongzhen, His Majesty led his generals to worship heaven at Jiufeng Mountain, the pinnacle of Daqing Mountain, set a boundary monument, and carved stones to record their merits.
From then on, the area south of Langshan Mountain, Yinshan Mountain, Daqingshan Mountain and a radius of 300 miles of Xuanfu were all included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Your Majesty promises that in the future, he will lead the people to seal the wolf in Xu, drink from the vast sea of horses, and continue to grant the title of Zen on Mount Tai! "
…
There are only two simple pieces of content, but the information contained in these two pieces of content is far greater than the information on yesterday's two battle exploits.
They seemed to have seen the emperor leading his generals to set up boundary monuments in Daqing Mountain.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Ming Dynasty has suffered from border invasions and plunder by the Mongolian tribes. Among them, they have entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty many times and the city of Beijing has been besieged. What a shame.
Now, the emperor's personal conquest to re-integrate the fertile grasslands with a radius of hundreds of miles into the territory of the Ming Dynasty is definitely a big deal.
After everyone read the content of the plan to manage Tumut on the third page of the Daming Daily, they fell silent, but then the discussion filled the air throughout Beijing.
"This plan is quite interesting and very bold!"
"It is indeed bold. Looking at the past dynasties, it seems that the foreigners have never been so lenient!"
"Fart, this is just a woman... I've already surrounded her, just kill her. The effect is the same. Is it so hard to use?"
"That is, slaughter all their sergeants and leave the women to graze for us and be our Ming Dynasty's slaves!"
"You must be mentally ill. We've already killed them all. Why are we putting so much effort into killing them? Will they fight to the death after they have no hope at all?
What will happen when there are tens of thousands of soldiers killed or wounded? Your relatives are not in the army. You don't feel bad, do you? "
"You only see the laxity and don't see the intention behind it. Although half of the officials in the Lifan Yuan are from Mongolian tribes, the other half are from Ming Dynasty officials.
We have the final say on the law, and all policies must be approved by the court. Doesn’t this mean we control them? "
"And there are still troops stationed there. If they rebel, it will be easier to massacre them unarmed!"
"After stabilization, the imperial court will also promote Han-Mongolian intermarriage, open colleges to teach Chinese, and designate fixed areas for each ministry, etc., to slowly assimilate the various tribes.
When the time comes, with the Mongolians among the Han and the Han among the Mongols, who will rebel? "
"This is the correct answer. The Tumut tribe is just the beginning. Dozens of tribes in Mongolia may follow, and they may all adopt this system. When there is hope, it will not be a dead end.
Otherwise, even if the imperial court can regain the various tribes, hundreds of thousands of troops will be killed or injured. Whose sons are these soldiers? Whose father is it? Whose husband is it? "
"Yes, just because soldiers are not afraid of death doesn't mean they can die at will. There is a better way. Why must it be solved through war?"
"I can understand this, but Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng has lowered the standards of Taishan's Zen. Your Majesty wants to be granted Zen. Isn't this a surrender of status? Why don't the ministers in the court persuade him!"
"You are stupid. Your Majesty really wants to complete the achievements of sealing the wolf to live in Xu, drinking horses from the vast sea, and setting up counties in the western region, etc., plus returning the land to the people, etc. I dare not say that this achievement will never be followed, and history can advance. top three,
If you go to enshrine him in this way, do you think it is because His Majesty has lost his fortune, or because the people have completely trampled Zhao Heng into shit? "
"I estimate that only His Majesty today has such great wisdom, courage, big heart, and big plans!"
…
I have to say that there are still some far-sighted people among the common people.
Three battle reports and one policy were discussed in the city of Beijing, and along with the galloping horses of the postmen, they were spread to the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.
In Beijing, Cao Wenzhao, the commander of Tengxiang Left Guard who stayed behind, took several newspapers and complained while reading them.
"These bastards will come back this time, and I have to beat you up!"
"Cao Wenzhao, you are such a fool. You know that His Majesty's personal expedition will definitely have a chance of winning. If you give in to anything, let's do it now!"
"No, when these guys come back, they have to extort something from them. I've given them all the great credit, so I have to give them some compensation!"
"Damn, he's still not strong enough. If Teng Xiang's left back can fight three or five against the other three guards, he can attack at any time!"
"No, you still have to work harder. As long as you can't die, you have to practice to the death, otherwise you will have to fight again next time when you fight the slaves!"
The more Cao Wenzhao thought about it, the more depressed he became. In the end, he couldn't sit still. He grabbed the long knife on the table and walked out of the tent. After a while, Cao Wenzhao's angry shouts and the sergeants' vigorous shouts rang out throughout the camp. Voice.
Similar scenes are still playing out in the Forbidden Army Camp, Jingying, Jizhen, Xuanfu and other places.
Especially the Jingying camp, without Zhang Zhiji's supervision, the sergeants went crazy. What a glorious record the Jingying camp once had, but now they can only watch, how could they not be ashamed.
Zhang Zhiji was extremely happy about this, and arranged all kinds of big fish and meat.
In Xuanfu City, all the generals looked at the edict posted and were all confused.
A few days ago, the Commander-in-Chief told them that the emperor personally conquered Ordos and crippled it. They guessed that there should be better news.
But he never expected that he would destroy Chahar's 90,000 cavalry, recapture Tumote, and even offer sacrifices to the sky in Daqing Mountain, demarcate monuments, and mark meritorious service with stones.
All the generals were shocked, and some of them were so regretful that they wanted to hit the wall, saying that the commander-in-chief was partial and wanted to ask Man Gui for an explanation!
The sergeants, people, and merchants in Xuanfu City were talking a lot, not only about the reports of the three wars, but also about the two-governance plan.
Several Mongolians looked at the edict among the crowd of onlookers, and they were very conspicuous.
Only then did they suddenly realize why the Commander-in-Chief had repeatedly emphasized not to discriminate against and to protect these Mongolians.
Such scenes can be seen in Beizhili, Shanxi and other prefectures and counties, but in other places they are accompanied by Jin Yiwei.
The people in various prefectures and counties are not as knowledgeable as the people in the capital and the wealthy businessmen and gentry. They don't see much of the meaning behind it. They mostly complain about this plan and the emperor's benevolence as a woman.
They shouted angrily and demanded that the court directly slaughter Tumut. This kind of discussion made the Tumut tribe members who came to check turned pale, trembled, and almost wanted to run away.
At the same time, he also secretly thought of his great Khan's wisdom, prowess, and courage, otherwise Tumote would have been slaughtered by now.
You say that some are happy and some are sad. While the common people cheer and encourage the emperor's military achievements, some people are still afraid of these military achievements like tigers and wolves.
Such as the gentry and wealthy merchants who owned a large amount of cultivated land and were corrupt and perverted the law, the forces in the capital in the south of the Yangtze River, the clans of the vassal kings in various places, the Confucian family in Qufu, the generals in western Liaoning, and the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes.
The closest among these forces are the Liaoxi generals in Ningyuan City. Yuan Chonghuan, who learned about the arrival of the British Duke Zhang Weixian at the gate of the Jinglue Mansion, wondered: "I wonder what the British Duke is here for?"
"The imperial court sent something to the two capitals and thirteen provinces. My prince had nothing to do, so he sent it in person, just for a stroll."
