Chapter 402 Double Happiness

The losses suffered by Jiannu were not large. The Green Battalion, which suffered the most losses, suffered only two thousand casualties, and the Eight Banners Manchuria suffered approximately one thousand casualties. These are the number of casualties, and the wounded are not counted.

In addition, the Jiannu also recaptured Huihuahua and Tumotechuan.

So from a strategic perspective, Jiannu is undoubtedly the winner.

So who is the biggest loser in this decisive battle in Hetao? Of course, it is the Tumut Mongolian tribes.

In the decisive battle of Hetao, more than 20,000 of the Tumut tribes' men were directly killed, and more than one million cattle and sheep were eaten by the Dashun army and Jiannu. This time, the bones and muscles were really injured.

And because the tribe’s cattle and sheep were consumed in large quantities,

For the Tumut Mongolian tribes, this winter will be particularly difficult.

If nothing else goes wrong, at least half of the Tumut Mongolian tribes will starve to death this winter.

However, no one will really care about the life and death of the Tumut Mongolian herdsmen. The Dashun Dynasty will not care, nor will the slaves who regained control of the Tumut River and naturalized them.

The rulers of Dashun and Jiannu only cared about one thing - the camel swivel cannon!

It is already foreseeable that the battlefield ecology in East Asia will undergo revolutionary changes, and it will not be long before firearms will completely dominate the East Asian battlefield.



It’s mid-October, Nanjing.

When four cabinet ministers including Lu Zhenfei, Zhang Shenyan, Meng Zhaoxiang and Qian Qianyi arrived at the East Palace, they saw Prince Zhu Cixiang anxiously pacing back and forth outside the delivery room.

The East Palace of the Forbidden City in Nanjing was restored three months ago.

Under the strong request of the civil servant group, Zhu Cixi could only move into the East Palace.

Zhu Cixiang's temperament was still a bit soft, and he did not dare to confront the civil service group head-on like his father, Chongzhen.

"Prince, how is the princess?" Lu Zhenfei wiped the sweat from his forehead. Zhang Shenyan, Meng Zhaoxiang and Qian Qianyi also looked concerned.

The Crown Princess is about to give birth, which is a major event for the court.

So after hearing the news, the four pavilion elders hurried over.

"The situation is not very good." Zhu Cixiang said with a worried look, "It has been almost four hours."

While he was talking, an old palace maid came out sweating profusely and reported: "Your Highness, the fetus still can't come out, but the Crown Princess is almost exhausted. If this continues, both adults and children..."

The old palace maid didn't dare to say anything further, but Zhu Cixiang and the others could naturally understand.

Yong Wang Zhu Cizheng on the side said: "Brother, hurry up and ask Master Fu to come over."

Lu Zhenfei hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Prince, if it doesn't work out, just have a caesarean section."

Cesarean section is nothing new to the people of Nanjing, because in the past six months or so, the Maternity and Infant Clinic opened by Daming Medical College has performed caesarean section on no less than twenty pregnant women with difficult labor, but the results were mixed.

More than 20 cases of caesarean section babies all survived. Even if two of the babies died during confinement, it had nothing to do with the caesarean section operation. However, only half of the more than 20 mothers survived, and the other half did not survive.

They all died because their bodies were too weak after childbirth and their wounds became infected.

In other words, the mortality rate for pregnant women after caesarean section is 50%.

In other words, once a caesarean section is performed, the princess will really only have half her life left.

Kang Baiwan murmured twice, intending to dissuade him, but in the end he did not dare to say anything. How could he, an insignificant royal relative, get the chance to say anything about such a big matter?

In the eyes of the world, he, the prince's father-in-law, is truly glorious.

But only Kang Wanwan himself knows how harsh the Holy Emperor is to the royal relatives, especially the clan nobles. The so-called royal relatives are only superficially beautiful.

Zhu Cihong was also a little reluctant to give up.

If given the choice, he still would not want to perform a caesarean section on the crown princess.

The old palace maid soon came out of the delivery room again: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess just fainted!"

"We can't wait any longer!" Lu Zhenfei said decisively, "Prince, please summon Master Fu!"

Zhang Shenyan also said: "If the Crown Princess has a grandson in her belly, it will be the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. The foundation of the country cannot be lost. Please call the Prince Fu to come to the hospital for surgery!"

"I second the proposal." Meng Zhaoxiang and Qian Qianyi also knelt down in unison.

Zhu Cixi then kicked his feet and said, "Come here, summon Master Fu into the palace!"

Fu Shan had actually been waiting outside the East Palace for a long time and arrived soon after receiving the imperial edict.

At this time, Fu Shan had already performed no less than a hundred caesarean sections, and had performed more than twenty operations on pregnant women, so he was already very familiar with the surgical procedures and was very fast.

Less than half an hour after Fu Shan led the two students in, a baby's cry came from inside.

Immediately, the old palace maid rushed out happily holding a baby in swaddling clothes, shouting repeatedly: "Your Highness, the emperor's grandson, is the emperor's grandson, is the emperor's grandson..."

"Emperor's grandson?" Zhu Cixiang was a little confused.

Lu Zhenfei and others knelt on the ground again: "Congratulations to the Crown Prince."

"Ping Sheng." At this time, Zhu Cixiang did not forget to ask the four palace elders to get up, and then took the swaddling clothes from the old palace maid's hands. He saw a small baby wrapped in it, with a wrinkled face, really ugly.

However, Zhu Cixiang did not dislike him at all. Instead, he felt inexplicably kind.

However, Zhu Cixiang quickly handed the baby to Kang Wanwan and asked the old palace maid: "Where is the Crown Princess?"

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is fine, at least for now." Fu Shan had already sutured the Crown Princess's wound and came out, wiping his hands and saying, "But in the end, whether the Crown Princess can survive the wound infection depends on her.

Own."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Fu." Zhu Cixiang said to the eunuch who was accompanying him, "Gu Banban, let's watch and enjoy."

The old eunuch next to him immediately presented a wooden tray with a reward of silver, which contained twenty ingots. Each ingot weighed ten taels. The prince was much richer than his father, and he only offered two hundred taels of silver.

Fu Shan did not refuse. The medical school was in urgent need of funds.

At this time, General Affairs Minister Liu Shizhen rushed in excitedly.

"Good news! Great victory in Qujing!" Liu Shizhen gasped, "Prince, four pavilion elders, Yunnan has just sent a report. Your Majesty defeated Sha Dingzhou's rebels in a battle at Qujing Mansion, and Yunnan has been decided!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Has the chaos in Shadingzhou been put down?" Lu Zhenfei was overjoyed when he heard this.

Qian Qianyi couldn't help but said with joy: "Today is really a rare good day. The emperor's grandson is born, and the Holy One has put down the chaos in Shadingzhou. It's really a double happiness!"

After a pause, he said again: "Prince, you can send the news of the birth of the emperor's grandson to the Holy One on flying cavalry."

"Oh, yes." Zhu Cixin woke up from a dream and ordered Liu Shizhen, "Liu Yintai, if you can help me, send a flying cavalry to report the news of the emperor's grandson's birth to the Holy Majesty two hundred miles away."

"I accept the decree." Liu Shizhen received the decree and left in a hurry.

At this time, Lu Zhenfei said goodbye to Zhu Cihong: "Prince, I will leave first."

After coming out of the East Palace, Zhang Shenyan asked Lu Zhenfei: "Shou Kui, did the Holy Master say anything else in the Tang Bao?"

"Read it for yourselves." Lu Zhenfei handed the Tang Bao to Zhang Shenyan, and Meng Zhaoxiang and Qian Qianyi joined in. After hurriedly reading the Tang Bao, the four people's expressions suddenly changed.

The Holy Spirit went to Yunnan and did so many things?

One hundred thousand Guangxi wolf soldiers were detained in Yunnan, of which 20,000 were sent to Dongchuan, Dali and other silver mines to mine, and the remaining 80,000 stayed in Yunnan and were converted into household soldiers?

Of the 150,000 native soldiers who rebelled, 30,000 native soldiers were demoted to mining slaves.

Will all the remaining 120,000 local soldiers be converted into household-based soldiers?

Establish a governor-general of Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou to take charge of the affairs of the four provinces in the process of returning land to the country?

Establish an admiral to oversee military affairs in Yunnan, specifically in charge of the 200,000 soldiers in Yunnan?

Persuade the King of Jingjiang to donate all his property for the restoration of Guangxi?

Confiscate all the land under the name of the Duke of Guizhou and use it to rehabilitate Yunnan?

The Duke of Guizhou was demoted one level and demoted to the title of Marquis of Central Yunnan, and his entire family moved to Nanjing for resettlement?

Compared with these major events, the incident of Ding Kuichu's loot being leaked due to corruption is simply not worth mentioning.

Qian Qianyi observed the situation and said: "Shou Kui, there are two cabinet elders, the Holy Master did not even say hello to our cabinet, and then did such a big thing in Yunnan and Guangxi, it seems a little inappropriate."

"I think there is nothing wrong with it." Meng Zhaoxiang firmly stood on Chongzhen's side and said, "The chieftain system of this dynasty inherited the chieftain system of the previous dynasty, and there is actually no essential difference from the Jisi system of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The so-called Xuanweisi, Xuanweisi,

Fusi is nominally the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but in fact it is still an independent kingdom."

"Therefore, the reform of the land and its return to local rule is essentially a matter of opening up territory and expanding the territory, and should not simply be classified as an internal matter."

After a pause, Meng Zhaoxiang continued: "So, His Majesty's move did not infringe upon the power of the cabinet."

After a period of running-in, Chongzhen and the cabinet have reached a first-class tacit understanding, that is, Chongzhen generally does not interfere in internal affairs other than military affairs, such as the selection and appointment of officials, the collection and use of taxes, and even the revision and promulgation of laws.

, Chongzhen will not interfere, but the cabinet is not allowed to interfere at will in matters related to military matters.

The matter of changing one's native land to return to one's native land is somewhere between the two, and Meng Zhaoxiang's explanation also makes sense.

"Mengge Lao is right, this matter depends on the Holy Spirit." Lu Zhenfei said, "After all, this is indeed a good time in Guangxi and Yunnan to change the status quo and return to local status, and the benefits of changing local status to local status are self-evident.

metaphorical."

Qian Qianyi did not dare to say anything anymore, because it would indeed be of great benefit to the cabinet to change the situation.

The most direct benefit is that after the reform of Guangxi and Yunnan provinces, dozens more magistrates, prefecture magistrates or county magistrates were created, as well as left-handed officials such as Tongzhi, Tongpan and Tuiguan.

Originally, these official positions could only be appointed to local officials, but now they can be directly assigned to local officials.

Another one is the cultivated land listed in the fish scale register of the Ministry of Household. The number of people registered as households will increase significantly, because originally the cultivated land of the chieftain and the local residents were not included in the fish scale register.

This means that the cabinet's financial and personnel powers have been expanded, which is of course a good thing.

Lu Zhenfei added: "The most urgent task is to summon all the officials of the third rank and above in Beijing as soon as possible to recommend the candidates for the governors of Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan and the admirals of Yunnan. Is it necessary to appoint another governor of Guangdong?"
