Wanting to cross the Yellow River but blocked by ice,
About to climb Taihang Mountain covered with snow.
There will be times when there are strong winds and waves,
Directly hang the cloud sails to help the sea.
The Yellow River was frozen, and the river, a thousand miles long, suddenly stopped flowing. Zhu Hengjia asked people to try it, and the ice was so thick that they could run horses.
"Okay! God help me Ming Dynasty! According to my will, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the whole army will cross the river." Zhu Hengjia laughed loudly in the Panlong tent of the Ming army in Taoyuan County, Huai'an Prefecture. He had a destiny, and God helped him.
Sense.
In fact, this was his misconception. During the Little Ice Age, the Yellow River was frozen every year. Even in later generations, there was still a freeze period of more than a month every year.
"My emperor inherited the destiny of the sky and wiped out the Tartars, so the thousands of miles of the Yellow River are like walking on flat ground." University scholar He Wuzuo took the lead in congratulating him. This university scholar He is actually not a sycophant. The reason why he is so arrogant is because
In order to improve the morale of the Ming army.
"Long live! Long live! Long live!"
All the generals shouted long live. Amidst the shouts of long live, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army really thought that Emperor Guangwu was destined to return. Otherwise, why didn't the Yellow River freeze earlier or later? But when His Majesty was about to cross the river, it froze? 1
As time goes by, morale is like a rainbow, and the sword is sharpened against the Qing army on the north bank of the Yellow River.
The army led by Zhu Hengjia faced the most elite troops of the Manchus. They fought bloody battles and suffered heavy casualties. The places they conquered also needed troops to be stationed. Although they had added some new troops, they could only dispatch 120,000 land troops at present.
division, 30,000 naval divisions. On the contrary, Yan Zungao and Fan Youxian's troops and horses, because they forced Shang Kexi to surrender, Wu Sangui's troops, generals Shang and Wu's subordinates added to the army, and the strength of the troops was almost not reduced.
Zhu Hengjia ordered Yan Zungao to capture Henan, Fan Youxian recovered Shaanxi, and he went to Shandong to fight.
??
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not." After boosting morale, all the ministers dispersed, but Zheng Feng refused to leave.
"Zheng Qing, we are called monarchs and ministers, but we are actually close friends. What can't we say? Say it quickly."
"Your Majesty, do you plan to fight all the way to Beijing?"
"Of course, I will follow the example of Taizu Emperor Gao and drive the Qing captives back to Jianzhou in one fell swoop. No, I will even defeat Jianzhou. If the Qing captives don't surrender, they won't have a foothold in the ends of the earth.
", Zhu Hengjia spoke arrogantly, showing his heroic domineering attitude.
Zheng Feng's eyes showed a look of obsession. It was this heroic spirit that convinced him back then and made him willing to submit to Emperor Guangwu when his power was still small.
"Your Majesty, I have no doubt that you can capture Beijing. But how can we defend it after we capture it? The north has suffered from successive cold disasters. Although the weather has gotten warmer this year, we are also facing the disaster of war. There is no food left in the treasury, and there are hungry weeds everywhere.
Refugees. When Li Zicheng captured Beijing, he had no money to provide relief, and finally lost the world. What did you use to help the victims? If you are not financially prepared, it is better to throw this burden to the Qing captives and attack Beijing again next year."
Zhu Hengjia frowned and thought for a while, then said for a while: "If we capture Shanxi, we will have money and food."
Zheng Feng was stunned, "What does your Majesty mean?"
"Yes, I plan to inspect the properties of the so-called eight royal merchants who are aiding the evil deeds and provide relief to the victims in the north. In addition, I will use silk, cloth, and tea leaves to exchange for food from Siam, Annam, Guangnan, Chenla, Nanzhang, Champa and other countries.
.It should be enough. The weather has turned warm now. As long as we survive this year, next year will be better."
"It turns out that Your Majesty is very confident, and I admire you."
The monarch and his ministers were chatting about national affairs when they suddenly reported that Manzhu Xili, the king of Zhasak Dolobatulu County of Kormi tribe who had been released last time, was back.
"Man bead practicing rituals? What is he doing here?"
Zhu Hengjia was stunned and ordered that all beads be brought into the account as a ritual ceremony.
??
Manzhu, the king of Zasak Dorobatulu, came with a letter from his elder brother, Wu Keshan, the prince of Horqin Zhuoliketu.
After he was returned to Horqin, he explained to Wu Keshan the strength of the Ming army, saying that the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty was inevitable, and suggested that Wu Keshan return to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible to avoid the disaster of annihilation.
Although Wu Keshan was the brother of Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, there was a flaw between the two parties because Emperor Shunzhi deposed his daughter Borzijit Mengguqing as concubine Jing. Moreover, he was a politician and had the eyes of a politician.
Here, there are only interests and no family ties.
Wu Keshan decided to secretly submit to the Ming Dynasty, and he brought more than ten princes from the four tribes and ten banners of Nenhorqin with him.
This Horqin tribe is the descendant of Genghis Khan's second brother Hesar, a famous large tribe in Mongolian history, Nen Horqin, Alu Horqin, Sizi tribe, Maoming'an tribe, Urad tribe, and even the Heshuote tribe of Qinghai and Tibet.
Belong to this tribe.
Hearing that Wu Keshan was willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty with the Ten Banners of Horqin, Zhu Hengjia was very happy and said to Manzhu Xili: "Manzhu Xili, I have something to say first. If the Horqin tribe is willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, I will still give you whatever titles the Qing captives give you.
.Your brother Wu Keshan was a prince in Qinglu, and I made him the loyal king; you were a county prince in Qinglu, and I made you the king of Shunyi. The other princes and princes, Baylor, were all given the same title by imperial decree.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Manzhu was overjoyed while practicing the ceremony, and suddenly said: "We, the Horqin tribe, want to marry with the Ming Dynasty. Please grant your permission!"
"Marriage? This is a good thing! Which of my sons does Wu Keshan like?" Zhu Hengjia laughed.
"Your Majesty, my brother Wu Keshan wants to marry the jewel in his palm, Borzigit Erdenibemba, to Your Majesty."
"Plop!"
Emperor Guangwu almost spit out his tea. After he traveled through time, although his soul was still young, his body was already sixty years old. There were many wives and concubines in the palace, and he really had no intention of having any more concubines.
Immediately he said: "I am already old, and I am afraid that I will let my niece down! Why don't you marry my son?"
"Alas!"
Manzhu Xili sighed, "My niece had a bad fate. When she was fourteen, she married Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty as his queen. Unexpectedly, Emperor Shunzhi doted on Concubine Dong E and was deposed as Concubine Jing at the age of sixteen. Because of this,
, my brother was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days, so he took his niece back to Horqin. She is just nineteen now, and I would like to be your majesty's concubine and have someone to rely on."
It turns out that Borzigit Erdeni Bemba is the Mongolian real name of Borzigit Mengguqing. Erdeni means treasure, and Bemba is a magical instrument of Tibetan Buddhism.
Zhu Hengjia understood that this Borzigit Erdenibemba was no longer perfect, and he was older than his sons, so he had no choice but to marry him. Well, this Wu Keshan married this empress of the Qing Dynasty.
I also have the intention of venting my anger. It seems that if you want to conquer Horqin, you must marry this woman!
Since becoming emperor, Zhu Hengjia has become extremely thick-skinned. He does not feel guilty at all like an old cow eating young grass. Instead, he takes it for granted and openly says: "I agreed to this matter and named Borzigit Er.
Denibemba is a concubine.
Then I thought about it, many unofficial historians said that this Borzigit was beautiful and smart, but also extravagant and jealous. I don’t know whether it was true or not. She asked Manzhu with a smile and asked politely: "I wonder what your niece is like in terms of appearance and temperament?"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Manzhu Xili first congratulated Emperor Guangwu, and then said loudly: "My niece is not only gentle and graceful, but also has an appearance that is stunning to the country. She is the most beautiful flower on the Horqin grassland!"
??
In response to the fact that the sixty-year-old Emperor Guangwu married the nineteen-year-old Erdeni Bemba, a failed scholar named Yangyang Daming in later generations wrote a poem to satirize:
"Emperor Wen Guangwu Marries a Beautiful Wife at Sixty"
The emperor is authoritative and laughs wildly,
The true nature of an emperor is arrogance.
Wu Yan sneered at the old temples,
Shame and Zhang Xian discuss their merits and demerits.
The first words of each sentence in this limerick are exactly four words when put together: The emperor is shameless.
