Chapter 302 Datong
On a sunny day, upstairs in the northwest of Datong.
Macheng used a thousand-mile mirror to observe the northwest of the city. A long convoy of fireheads, ox carts and horse carriages was delivering goods outside the Great Wall. After leaving the Great Wall, he traveled thousands of miles to the Korqin Grassland to transport them back to Shenyang. This is extremely difficult The road I took was not a problem for Jianlu. Tens of thousands of Shanxi strong men were worthless. When they were exhausted, they changed to another group to pull a cart. This was a road of blood and tears for Shanxi people and a road of rise of the Qing Dynasty.
Shanxi's wealth is definitely not comparable to Liaoyang Shenyang energy. Shanxi's obedient people have no spirit of resistance and are easier to deal with than those fierce Liao people.
On the left hand side, Zhou Yunyan shivered and said, "Cousin, it's a bit cold."
Ma Cheng pulled her cloak tightly and deliberately brought her by his side to show his attitude. The Zhou family was ecstatic and knew that the two families had reconciled the old, and the Zhou family's pearls were given to the right person this time. The Zhou family's Datong family has declined. Now Datong is the Wang family and Jiang family's world. The emperor of the mountain is far away and cannot even control Datong. There is some wind, a fat man climbing up, making Ma Cheng worry that the fat man would crush the tower, and it is a pity that he can climb. The soldiers and generals from both sides knelt down and met His Highness Dai, so they were naturally spared.
Zhou Yunyan was startled and bowed, but was stopped by the King Dai in a kind way: "It's fine, it's cold."
Ma Cheng bowed calmly and said, "The last time we will be the general general of Kaiyuan, Ma Cheng, see the King of Dai Qiansui."
The fat king Dai was panting and said, "Forget it, you are the minister of the humerus on the priest. I can't bear your rituals. What's going on outside the city?"
Ma Cheng handed Qianli Jing over and said sadly: "Your Majesty will see it yourself."
The fat prince was not arrogant and domineering. He took Qianlijing and played with it. He praised the things of the Westerners. He then looked outside the city for a while and couldn't help but say a few gossips, but in fact he was here to find out the news.
Ma Cheng smiled bitterly and advised: "Your Majesty is relieved, this Jianlu Light Cavalry cannot attack the city when entering the pass."
The King of Dai breathed a sigh of relief and asked Macheng to go to the royal palace for a banquet. Macheng thought for a moment and agreed, can two thousand five hundred cavalrymen go out of the city to fight? No, Macheng dares to bet the governor wishes He, a traitor, took his troops out of the city and sent his death. Now he hoped that it was all on Cao Wenzhao. He hoped that this crude man could gather troops in Yulin and Taiyuan, and the troops that the guards could fight could rush to help as soon as possible.
He had the official documents signed by Governor Xuanda and the seal of Deputy General Yanghe. The command of the guards did not dare to disobey him. He just hoped that this fierce man could live up to his reputation in history and could not wait for support. In two days, Ma Cheng had to go to find Wang Wei. The two led the cavalry to follow the cavalry to go out for a race, looking for fighter jets to bite a piece of meat from the 20,000 cavalry. Yesterday, Zhou Mansion also released the pigeon to Kaiyuan, and the letter was on There are only two words, quick support. Kaiyuan has two thousand iron cavalry and two thousand Ye He soldiers. If four thousand iron cavalry break through the blockade and come to help quickly from the grassland, it will take more than ten days later.
At present, the Korqin Grassland, inside and outside the Great Wall, and in Shanxi, it is too messy.
Fortunately, Baicheng was determined to be defended, and Jianlu plundered in Shanxi because he was unwilling to fight. The Han army and the Mongolian army's Eight Banners were half-remnants, and Baicheng was now as stable as a rock. But these hateful Han army and the Mongolian army relied on people. Many people tightly restrain the troops of Baicheng on the grassland and cannot move. Now there is a stalemate, just waiting to break the deadlock. Macheng is proficient in combat formation and military tactics. He knows that in this stalemate, once there are variables on the local battlefield, he will Influence the global formation of chain reactions.
If you break the deadlock, you should be at the city of Datong, even if you die, you will have no regrets.
The first time in this life was forced to the point of despair. If Datong City could not break the deadlock, the one who greeted Macheng would be crazy impeachment from the government and the people, and the young emperor could not be protected by any means. The generals of the Ming Dynasty were so tragic, and once they were defeated, they would be
The house was confiscated and the execution was not exceptional, so the generals of the border town made various great victories, and this is the reason.
That night, the palace of Dai.
The Dai Wang Mansion is truly called magnificent, at least much better than the Emperor's Xiyuan. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were also alternative. They scolded the emperor and the cabinet every day, but were particularly generous to the Ming Dynasty's vassal kings. The emperor repaired the Western Garden.
After more than 60 years of cultivation, the mansion of a royal palace is not as luxurious as that of a mansion.
The policy of raising vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty started from the time of Chengzu. After Zhu Di seized the throne, in order to prevent other vassal kings from following the future, he not only deprived the princes of their military command, but also made excuses to reduce the princes' escorts and further restricted the vassal kings from outside the palace.
The actions of the illegal vassal kings were given a reprimand. Those who violated the law and were disobedient would abolish the title of the king and confine themselves to high walls, and that is, they would be placed under house arrest in the royal confinement center located in Fengyang.
For example, Zhu Gui, the first generation king, had a cruel temperament and often acted illegally. When Emperor Jianwen was accused of being a commoner, he was deposed as a commoner until Zhu Di recovered his title in the first month of the first year of Yongle in Zhu Di.
But he did not change his bad habits. Zhu Di gave him a seal in November and scolded him, "I heard that my brother has indulged his subordinates in killing people to get money. The people in the fiefdom are very miserable. Several people have already filed appeals. Why don't you learn from Jianwen Shi
What about the lessons?”
Then the relevant departments were ordered that from now on, the royal palace would not be allowed to serve the military and civilians without authorization, and should be dealt with strictly when they heard of illegal acts. Soon, someone reported Zhu Gui, and Zhu Di announced that he had 32 crimes and summoned him to the
The court did not arrive. He summoned again, and in the middle, he removed his third guards and reduced his official ranks. From then on, the princes gradually lost their power in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, and transformed from the powerful aristocrats of the Pingfan royal family into parasitic aristocrats.
After the Han King Zhu Gaoxu failed to raise an army to seize the throne in the first year of Xuande, this situation was further established.
The entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants were named princes for eighty-three. Except for the fact that they were young and died, they could not confirm their fiefdoms. A total of fiefs were established across the country. Those who were named princes and lieutenants of Fengguo were granted the title of princes, then
There were countless. In the Ming Dynasty, among these fifty vassal princes, except for those who had no sons and had no titles and had their titles for crimes, they all continued until the demise of the Ming Dynasty. In more than two hundred years, nearly three hundred princes were enthroned.
The throne was eleven Kings of Jingjiang. Eight of them died before they were granted a vassal, ten were deposed for crimes, and twenty-four last kings who died until the fall of the Ming Dynasty were either killed by the rebel army or were unaware of their end and failed to
Mausoleums were built according to the rules of the princes of the Ming Dynasty.
There is also a King Xingxian. Because his son Zhu Houcong succeeded to the throne, the mausoleum was upgraded to the imperial tomb. The remaining 240 princes and ten Kings of Jingjiang all built their own mausoleums. Now only ten tombs of the King of Jingjiang located in Guilin are preserved.
It's relatively intact. This is simply incredible.
Due to his superior political and economic status, he was unable to participate in politics and lead troops, and he was idle all day long. The princes and grandchildren of the Ming Dynasty often married concubines, wives and concubines, and bred many dragon sons and grandchildren. During the Ming Dynasty, the royal family had a population of
Reproduction shows the characteristics of high birth rate, low mortality rate and high natural growth rate.
For example, the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to twenty-six sons, of which twenty-three sons had descendants, Renzong Zhu Gaochi gave birth to ten sons, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen had nine sons, Xianzong Zhu Jianshen had fourteen sons, Shizong Zhu Houhuang,
