Chapter 320: Offering prisoners

Plunder is the nature of the Jurchens. The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. The people deeply believe in a truth. Horses do not have night grass, but they cannot be fat. Plundering people cannot change their nature.

Tai Chi could not suppress the desire for robbery. All the people around him could rob them, leaving only the heart to enter the pass, which was a dead end. A large number of Han troops, Mongolian troops confronted Lin Dankhan's troops and entered the pass

The main force of Jianlu Eight Banners.

When his heart was surging, the capital came to the capital and urged Ma Cheng to come to Beijing to offer prisoners.

Ma Cheng knew that the emperor was impatient, so he could delay the 10,000-shot driving. He escorted the prisoners all the way to Jizhen and returned to the capital to offer victory. The gifts were still coming along the way, and those who came from Ma Cheng did not refuse.

I became a corrupt official, but the principle is actually very simple. When I am a generous person today, I already understand the meaning. We monarchs and ministers fight together with each other, spend money together with each other, and enjoy wealth together with each other.

Yes, the emperor's idea is so simple. We have to carry the flower sedan chairs of the Tianqi Dynasty together. But there are some stupid fools who want to eat alone, such as those scholars in Jiangnan, and those rich people in Shanxi who are now eating alone.

The rich man had been dealt with by the emperor, and he was very happy. The rich man of the Ming Dynasty and scholars were also a group of strange people. Is he daydreaming about eating alone?

After all, the Ming Dynasty was named Zhu. If you don’t give the emperor so much, you will face the wrath of the emperor. The emperor was angry and buried a million corpses. Do you think it was the historian who scared you? If this rich man from Shanxi died, there would be no million mortals.

There are also thousands of people, which are the wrath of the emperor. If these idiots are willing to share some benefits to the emperor, they will not make the emperor anxious. They will use the factory and guard secret agencies to start a massacre.

.

Now, Ma Cheng didn't know how much money he had collected from house searches in Shanxi. This feast of dividing has just begun and it has not been copied for a year or two. This is something that has never happened in history, and it is also true.

The war bonus and the winners take all are the characteristics of this era. What is certain is that in the next few years, the treasury will be abundant, and the emperor's small treasury will be full, and he can use silver to smash people around to play with it.

In order to purify Shanxi, the imperial court confiscated at least more than ten million taels of silver, and tens of millions of silver.

Offering prisoners is a type of military ritual in ancient China. The army went out to fight and won the triumphant victory. In addition to the Taimiao sacrifice, it was necessary to hold a grand ceremony to present prisoners to the emperor, report the battle situation, and ask for instructions on the handling of prisoners of war.

It is a major ceremony to promote national prestige.

The prisoners have a long history in China. The "Book of Zhou? The Prisoner of the World" records that after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he sued the temple to offer prisoners and killed hundreds of prisoners of war in the Shang Dynasty to sacrifice. The inscription of "Little Yu Ding" says that the Yu conquered the battlefield and seized the imperial examination.

Four beast leaders were captured nearly 5,000, captives of more than 13,000 people, and hundreds of chariots, horses, cattle, and sheep. They also offered prisoners to King Kang of Zhou.

One day at the end of August of the third year of the Tianqi period, the capital was very lively, with people coming and going from street to street, and everyone was happy. Everyone knew that the soldiers and horses offered prisoners in Shanxi arrived outside the city. The people in the capital kept the crowded water from the streets and alleys.

Even the women who grew up in the boudoir were shy and crowded among the crowd. They wanted to watch the biggest victory in the past 20 years, and a great victory in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty, which was exciting.

Even scholars who disliked the eunuchs and imperialists were also infected by the passionate atmosphere of the whole nation and went to the streets to celebrate. If you have money, you would be able to book a restaurant and inn on the street, and if you don’t have money, you would sweat all over.

Crowded in the crowd, feeling the joy of the people in the capital from the heart. Twenty thousand new troops were also forced to enter the city, cooperated with the martial law of the factory and guards to maintain public security, and the fully armed new soldiers used live ammunition.

There were many new soldiers with gold threads on their collars, tigers and kirins, holding thick and long muskets in their hands, and were intimidated. Although the capital was lively and public security, it was excellent. Even the rogues who were crowded with the crowd were very restrained.

The Five Cities Military Affairs Office has announced that anyone who dares to cause trouble at the prisoner offering ceremony, even if you try it, it will be a death if you catch a thief. No matter whether you are right or wrong, you will be killed.

He was so crazy that he was definitely bullying the good, but the censors from the capital were all shut up. Who dared to impeach? At this time, who would dare to impeach the Imperial Party, he would be drowned by the people of the capital.

Amid the cheers, the prisoners team entered the outer city, and the capital suddenly became excited.

Ma Cheng was expressionless under the guards of his own barracks, wearing heavy armor and walking through the streets of the capital. The people were crazy with shouting and screaming. In the private rooms of the restaurants and inns on both sides of the street, petals and colorful paper fell down, and there were actually

The woman who threw the hydrangea balls was still not far away, and most of them fell into the cheering crowd. Looking at the young people who were grabbing the hydrangea balls, Macheng couldn't help but smile. This is OK, the Governor's Office of the Five Army

Can't help but still be hydrangea?

I think those who can sit in the private room are all noble girls. It’s useless to snatch these people, so most of the noble girls will not admit it.

The people along the street finally smiled and cheered. Even the heroic and powerful soldiers of Liaodong Bo from the front and back received great honor. In a restaurant, a big red hydrangea was still far away, and a personal soldier subconsciously grabbed them.

, amid the cheers of the people, I don’t know what to do. My daughter is so strong, she should be a female yaksha.

A young scholar jumped up and down by the window upstairs and shouted: "Catch it, catch it, my family lives in Willow Street, my little sister is as beautiful as a flower, this marriage has been decided!"

The personal soldiers became more and more embarrassed. Ma Cheng smiled and nodded lightly. The personal soldiers secretly put away the hydrangea. Amid the laughter and cheering of the people, the enemy soldiers tied with ropes behind them also entered the city. A burst of scolding and spitting

Hengfei couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He was warned by the new soldiers standing along the street. More people were looking at a long list of Donglu. These were fierce Jianlu, and finally they saw that they were alive.

The enemy soldiers are still very good. Everyone has shaved their heads, and a small braid is dragged behind their heads. The vest, white armor, the assistant leader, and the Zhangjing of each department. After surviving, they are all the essence of the Eight Banners, and naturally have a fierce temperament.

Two thousand enemy soldiers passed by slowly, and even scared the people in the capital. The cheers gradually became quiet. Jianlu was famous for his reputation and his appearance was extremely scary. Many enemy soldiers still had blood on their cotton armor.

Ma Cheng did this on purpose. Everyone was wearing armor. He brought the real enemy soldiers on the battlefield to the capital to the capital to give a shocking education class to the people of the capital. The effect was surprisingly good.

The people were scared, and the timids hid back one after another. It was so amazing that this was not a prisoner. It was clearly a complete army, but it was tied up very tightly, and the armor sounded like it was on the battlefield.
