The campaign against Tianzhu ended, and the Ming Dynasty achieved fruitful results. It not only destroyed the Mughal Empire, but also conquered Delhi, Punjab, Sindh, Lokhilkhand, Oudh, Bikaner, Nagpol, and North
Sirkas, Orissa, Bihar, and the Bengal area were directly in hand; by appointing the Sikh leaders Sinha and Banda as ambassadors, Kabul, Keshimir, and Peshawar were
Indirect control has also been implemented in other regions.
Zhu Hengjia even wanted to annex the Kingdom of Bijapur and the Kingdom of Golconda, two vassal states that had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. As a traveler, he knew that the Hyderabad area where the Golconda Kingdom was located was a famous diamond-producing area.
Take control so that future generations will not have money to spend.
On the surface, the armies of these two countries have almost been crippled by the Mughals, and it is not difficult to occupy these two countries militarily. However, they all nominally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, annexing them, and spreading their reputation.
It doesn’t sound good. After all, the Ming Dynasty has many vassal states, especially the Travant Kingdom in the south, which has always been on the same side as the two countries. It still retains some strength. The Ming Dynasty still needs it to defend the Ming Dynasty from the Dutch and the Portuguese, so
The food appearance should not be too ugly.
The King of Bijapur had died in the battle, so Emperor Guangwu made a six-year-old child of the royal family the king, and sent Chen Qi, a concierge in the palace, as the Prime Minister of Bijapur, with a garrison of 10,000 troops, and actually controlled the power of Bijapur; Gore
King Bigap of Kunda has grown up and is difficult to control. Emperor Guangwu simply sent troops to put him under house arrest in the palace. He also sent Xiao Jingteng, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, as the prime minister of Golconda, with a garrison of 10,000 troops to actually control him.
The purpose of launching the war was not only to expand the territory, but also to add another trade route between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Yi countries. Therefore, Emperor Guangwu ordered the establishment of customs in Karachi, Yanam, Orissa, and Calcutta to encourage trade.

In order to control this vast territory, Zhu Hengjia established Tianzhu Province, made Guan Siqiu the governor of Tianzhu, and Liu Jixuan the governor of Tianzhu. The establishment of a governor in a province shows that he attaches great importance to it. He also organized 30,000 soldiers to serve as local guards.
.
Then, His Majesty the Emperor ordered the troops to return to the court, where he would welcome the victorious soldiers with grand ceremony.
"The Chronicles of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty": "The emperor was very pleased with the victory in the Southern Expedition. He sent an order to the squadron and went out to welcome the soldiers with a grand ceremony."
??
On January 9, the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, outside the Zhengyang Gate of Nanjing, the wind was blowing. The seventy-nine-year-old Emperor Guangwu, regardless of his age and frailty, led hundreds of officials out of the city to the suburbs to welcome the victorious soldiers of the Southern Expedition. He
He is an emperor on horseback, and he likes military matters the most, especially happy events such as great victories, which make him even more excited.
The emperor personally "worked in the suburbs" for the meritorious soldiers, which was a great favor. He had already ordered people to prepare the "drinking ceremony" ceremony, prepared a grand banquet in the main hall, and prepared the awards for the meritorious soldiers.<
/p>
Duke Yang Huai of Jin, Gongsun Gui of Guangdong, Duke Li Dingguo of Qin, Marquis Zhang Chengwu of Danyang, Marquis Lincha of Fu Ming, and Wu Jingbo were all given the imperial seals of bows, arrows, weapons, armors, etc., and a son was appointed as an official, and they were also given fertile land, gold and silver.
Utensils, silks and cloths are numerous. Among the criminal officials who made meritorious deeds, Ma Bao was re-promoted from Pucheng Bo to Pucheng Marquis, Bai Wenxuan was re-promoted from Wuchuan Bo to Wuchuan Marquis, Yuan'an Bo Chen Youlong, Guangchang Bo Li Yuanyin were promoted to Liu Jue
Changed back to Shige. Zhao Desheng, Zhao Yinxuan, Lin Jiading, etc. were restored to their original posts and all served as commander-in-chief. The old emperor did not forget the martyrs such as Xuanping Bo Dong Fangce who died in the battle, and granted his wife the title of first-class imperial edict. His son Dong Hongbo succeeded him.
The title is Uncle Xuan Ping.
The old emperor would perform the "drinking" ceremony with great fanfare, feast on the meritorious officials, and reward them based on their merits, so that everyone in the world would know about his great achievements.
January is a cold time, but under the stimulation of victory, no one feels cold.
The cold wind blew the dragon flag, and finally a long team appeared on the distant horizon, and the triumphal army appeared.
"Father, do you want to play music?" Crown Prince Zhu Ruofeng stepped forward to ask for instructions. In order to train his successor, the old emperor specifically asked the Crown Prince to preside over the "service" ceremony.
Zhu Ruofeng looked at the ceremony officer, who understood what he meant, and the music sounded for a moment. The musicians played "The Song of the Imperial Wind" and "The Song of the Emperor Ming", and the warriors on both sides danced the "Dance to Peace the World"
” and “Dance of Fu’an Siyi”.
The singing was passionate, but the victorious army was still far away and could not be heard clearly. Slowly, the army came closer.
Zhu Ruofeng looked at the official again, and the style of music suddenly changed, and a tune that was very familiar to the old emperor came into his ears.
"Walking in the wind and snow, we marched north to the Central Plains. The Huns were not exterminated, so they returned home in shame. The phoenix did not sing, and the Yellow River was not clear. When will there be peace? My heart is long. Life is so short, and the days ahead will be so bitter. Don't wait until you are old and let the sun hang over you.
.Civilization collapsed, what a pity Qilu. Waved in the wind, just dance for the king. A generous man, bloodshed to wash away the national humiliation. Waiting for the enemy, risking life and death. Above the Lin Pavilion, there are twelve jade towers. The heroic spirit is immortal, flying with wings. Winter goes and spring comes,
The trees are full of fragrance. The blood is like a tide, and it can't stop running. Why not play the harp? That's a great saying. The capital is near, and it's time to sing for joy."
"This~this~this~, isn't this the song I composed back then?"
Zhu Hengjia's eyes were moist. This song "Song of Waves in the Wind" was written when he was drunk during the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. When he heard that the Ming army had captured Xuzhou, he held a banquet in Tancheng to reward the generals. At that time, he was addicted to drinking.
, while dancing and singing, all the soldiers present echoed in unison, and until the end of the song, everyone was in tears, and even the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers were completely forgotten. What a joy! Now that I am old, the Lord of Hell is calling me
Here you go!
"Father, the Duke of Jin and the others are coming," Zhu Ruofeng reminded him quietly when he saw that he was distracted.
The old emperor just came to his senses, nodded to his son and said: "You have arranged this rural labor very well!"
"I have come to see Your Majesty." Duke Yang Huai of Jin led his generals to attend. There are many famous generals behind him, including Gongsun Gui of Guangdong, Duke Li Dingguo of Qin, Marquis Zhang Chengwu of Danyang, and Marquis Lincha of Fu Ming, etc., all gathered together.
"You have worked hard and done a great job, please get up quickly." Zhu Hengjia hurriedly helped these heroes. His eyes flashed and he saw Ma Bao, Bai Wenxuan and Chen Youlong in the back row.
"Ma Qing, Bai Qing, Chen Qing, we haven't seen each other for almost five years, right?" The emperor's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, deeply warming the hearts of the guilty generals.
Ma Bao's eyes turned red, "I miss Your Majesty all the time in Fuzhou."
"I also care about Your Majesty every day."
"The same is true for me??"
These three people suffered a lot after being exiled to Fuzhou. When they said these words, they showed their true feelings and almost shed tears.
"I'm also thinking of you. It'll be nice to come back. It'll be nice to come back. Come on, follow me to Fengtian Hall. The celebration wine has been laid out. Hahahaha." The old emperor laughed, changing the atmosphere from heavy to cheerful.< /p>
The celebration wine was very lively, and it was rare for old brothers to gather together. Even old ministers like Dian Duke Shi Qiwen who were ill at home came. Emperor Guangwu Longyan was so happy that he drank as much as he could regardless of his age and frailty.
Soon, he got drunk and fell asleep.
The Crown Prince Zhu Ruofeng did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ordered people to carry his old father into the Qianqing Palace, without taking off his clothes, and served him carefully. The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and as a prince, he must set an example for the world.
"Water~water~" On the dragon couch, the drunken old emperor groaned.
"Father, the water is here," the dutiful son hurriedly handed over the water cup.
"Gudong~Gudong~Gudong~"
Emperor Guangwu drank a few big sips, refreshed himself, and began to teach his son how to govern the country, "Does my son know who the heart of a king needs to be won over the most?"
"I think we must first win over the hearts of scholars."
"Haha, you are ridiculous. Those rotten scholars can't carry them on their shoulders or lift them with their hands. What can we do to win them over?"
"Who do you think your father should win over first?"
"You should know who I drink the most with."
"You mean soldiers?"
"Yes, don't underestimate these warriors. The real power of the Ming Dynasty lies in these warriors. Only when I have a firm grasp of the sword handle can I, as an emperor, do my job safely. Therefore, I will drink the wine that the generals propose to me even when I am drunk." ??
The old emperor became interested and talked endlessly to his son about the art of the emperor.
The father and son were chatting animatedly when He Liang, the Supervisor of Ceremonies on duty today, came over with a small half basket of memorials.
Zhu Hengjia glanced at him and asked lazily: "Is there anything important today?"
"It's not that important. It's just that the madman Li Yindu published another fallacy in Fushe Daily. You once said that any article written by Li Yindu will be presented to you immediately. So I brought you here."
"Well, show it to me." The old emperor suddenly became energetic. Li Yindu, the leader of the Shihlin School and "Kangsheng", often criticized the government, which made him extremely bored. If his reputation was not too high, he would have killed him with a knife. Under strict surveillance, he must read all Li Yindu's articles.
When I opened it, I saw the eye-catching title: "Returning power to the people and bringing peace to the world":
"The beginning of the overlordship is to put people first. The basic principle is to strengthen the country, and the basic chaos is to threaten the country. Therefore, Mencius said: 'The people are the most precious, the king is the least, and the country is the second.' A monarch has power that is biased towards the top; a democrat , the power is biased to the bottom. The power is biased to the top, and there is no restriction, and it is bound to be dictatorial. The holy lords of the past dynasties are real people and thieves; That's right!?? In democracy, the people have the right to participate in state affairs. The most important thing is to suppress the emperor. Select virtuous and upright people to join the Council. Whenever the emperor raises taxes, declares war, and other major diplomatic matters, the Council is required. Only after consent can it be implemented?? Substituting ten thousand surnames for one surname, substituting rule by the masses for dictatorship, and realizing the general trend of the world, arms are like rivers, vast and vast. The resistance of the dictator, the mantis arm blocking the car, only increases the laughter. Although the night is dark , the dawn has finally arrived, please encourage me.”
Returning power to the people and bringing peace to the world? How brave! How brave! I think this Li Yindu really doesn’t want to live anymore!”
The old emperor was extremely angry, especially the last sentence: "Although it gets late, dawn will eventually come", which shocked him greatly. As a time traveler, he knew the direction of history, as if he had seen the revolutionary army rising up to overthrow the decadent Ming Dynasty. Horrible scene.
"No, you can't! I conquered this world, and my descendants will rule this country from generation to generation. No one can take away the power of our family!" the old emperor roared, breaking into a cold sweat.
Suddenly, he was frothing at the mouth and fell down.
"Father!"
"Your Majesty!"
The palace of Qianqing was in chaos. The imperial doctor came, but he was unable to save the day.
Emperor Guangwu, the great hero of the generation, did not die in battle, old age, or illness, but was frightened to death by an article advocating democracy and freedom. This is the tragedy of the world's dictators!
The wind is blowing! Even though the night is dark, dawn is finally here!
