1138. The current Emperor Shenwu is Zhou Xuan. Who wrote the chapter on the Southern and Northern Expeditions?
Outside the city gate of the capital, there is an urn city.
The Wengcheng has an arrow tower in the front, and a closed space is formed by city walls and gates on both sides of the back. The arrow tower generally does not have a city gate opening. Instead, a city gate opening is opened in the Wengcheng wall on the side.
In this case, the city gate and the city gate of Wengcheng are not in a straight line. To enter the city from the city gate of Wengcheng, you need to enter the Wengcheng first, and then turn to see the city gate. This design is to prevent the archery tower from falling and the enemy to directly attack the city gate.
.
There are nine city gates in the north city of the capital, five city gates in the south city, and two small gates, Dongbianmen and Xibianmen. These gates basically open from the side of the Wengcheng.
However, there are three city gates that are different. They all have city gate openings under the archery tower, and the archery tower gate and the city gate are in a straight line.
One is the front gate, and the arrow tower and the city gate are in a straight line. We can still see it when we go to the square today.
The second one is Yongding Gate, which is the main gate of Nancheng. The Arrow Tower is also in a straight line between the city gate and Yongding Gate. Both gates are located on the central axis of the capital.
The third city gate that is in line with the Arrow Tower Gate is Guang'an Gate, which is the west gate of the South City. Why are these three gates not placed in Wengcheng in accordance with the military principle of defense first?
It has a side door.
Because these three city gates are what the emperor wants to go through. And it is impossible for the emperor to go through the side gate.
In other words, only these three city gates were used by the emperor. When the emperor left the city, he would not go through Yongding Gate, but Guang'an Gate.
At this time, when a large group of people went to Changping Imperial Mausoleum to worship their ancestors, it was most convenient to go through Guang'anmen.
In the Ming Dynasty, Guang'an Gate was called Guangning Gate, also called Zhangyi Gate, which was the name inherited from the Jin Dynasty. The gate was on the same axis as Zhangyi Gate in Jinzhongdu. Until the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid Minning, Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty,
Because of the taboo, Guangning Gate was changed to Guang'an Gate.
At this time, Chongzhen's carriage and his troops exited Zhengyang Gate, turned right on Liang-Guang Road, and headed towards Guangning Gate. After leaving the city from Guangning Gate, they headed north along the official road to Changping.
At this time, many people gathered on Liangguang Road to watch. Because once you enter the North City from the main gate, except for a small area on Qipan Street, it is all part of the imperial city and entry is prohibited.
For such an important event, the merchants on Qipan Street have long been expelled, and Qianmen Street has also been put under martial law.
If the common people wanted to see the beauty of the sky and see the grand ceremony of offering prisoners, they could only gather on both sides of Liang-Guang Road to watch.
At this time, the restaurants, teahouses, shops, etc. on both sides of the Liang-Guang Road were filled with dense crowds. On both sides of the road, soldiers from the Five Cities Troops and Patrol Battalion were maintaining order to prevent anyone from disturbing the holy driver.
These officers and soldiers used their spears to push the onlookers back horizontally to maintain order on the road. The officials of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Patrol Battalion were sweating nervously. If something went wrong, their heads would not be strong enough to chop them off.
.
When the people in the capital saw the emperor's arrival, they knelt down and kowtowed in excitement. While kowtowing, they shouted long live.
The people in the north have been harmed by the Mongols for a long time. The court is getting worse every year. No one protects them.
Since the Tumu Fort, the offensive and defensive trends of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have reversed.
From then on, the Mongols started a pattern of often attacking the capital city.
The Oara people first, and the Tatar Anda Khan came to the capital with large armies and looted in circles.
If Wu Zong hadn't secretly left the capital and defeated Dayan Khan in Datong, causing Mongolia to fall into division again. Maybe the Tatars would have invaded the capital twice.
Every military disaster caused great harm to the people of Gyeonggi. Their hatred for the Mongols was deeply rooted in their bones.
In the past, the court failed to live up to expectations, and the people could only feel hatred in their hearts. Now the court finally cheered up, and Uncle Dingyuan pacified Monan, and put all these traitorous chiefs to death.
The people were really indescribably proud, just like drinking the iced sour plum soup cooked in the middle of the night during the dog days of summer. (During the hot summer, the taste of sour plum soup brewed during the day, first half of the night, and second half of the night is different. The second half of the night is the least hot.
)
Chongzhen enjoyed the heartfelt love of the people very much. His face was flushed, as if he was drunk.
On both sides of the street, densely packed people kowtowed and shouted long live. For the first time, I felt the glory and dignity of being a promising king.
Many old people kowtowed and communicated with each other through tears.
They still remember the Jiajing Dynasty, when Anda Khan attacked the capital, the relatives who died in the clan, the children who were kidnapped, and the stolen property.
There is also the old thief Yan Song, who allowed the Tatars to loot and prevented the emperor from deploying troops to serve the king. What nonsense is Anda Khan? They are just a group of hungry thieves. They will naturally go back after they have robbed enough.
Now, God showed mercy and finally gave Ming Dynasty a wise king.
When the young man ascended the throne, he quickly eliminated the eunuchs and eliminated the scourge of Wei Zhongxian. And now, Monan Mongolia, the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty, has been completely eliminated.
For the first time in two hundred years, the threat from the north has disappeared. Why not make these people excited?
Seeing the prisoners being escorted by the imperial guards, the people's emotions became excited again.
They grabbed all kinds of sundries and threw them at these evil people. They kept going south to plunder, causing great suffering to the people of Ming Dynasty.
Khan Ahai is over seventy and old. He never expected to suffer such humiliation.
A stinky shoe sole flew over and hit him right in the face. Then a rotten egg flew over and landed on his head. Suddenly his head was covered with egg yolk.
He originally wanted to commit suicide in prison, because he knew that he could not bear the humiliation. But people are more afraid of death as they get older. The older they get, the more they love money.
I wanted to commit suicide several times but could not muster the courage. In the end I could only sigh and live one day at a time.
It's better to die than to live. Maybe the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will be merciful and grant him an official title and let him go back.
Buyan Ahai was not much better, Duoyan was removed from the list. He also became a prisoner.
He hates it so much, that old bastard Su Budi is as treacherous as a ghost. He has been hiding for a long time. Now he is Huang Taiji's guest, and he has become a prisoner of Ming Dynasty.
Facing the raindrops of cabbage leaves, dirt and broken shoe soles...these nobles of Taiji, who were aloof and regarded Han slaves like pigs and dogs, felt for the first time the terrifying anger of the Han people.
If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the soldiers on both sides to stop them, they had no doubt that they would be jumped on by these angry people and bitten to death.
The eyes of these people were so crazy, just like wolves on the prairie. It made them scared to the core.
When the motorcade arrived in front of Zengshou Temple, many young people in Tsing Yi appeared on the north side of the street.
It can be seen from the clothes that these people are students of the Imperial College.
Most of the people here come from Enyin, that is, they are the descendants of nobles and relatives of the emperor, and there are more after the meritorious officials. There are also many eldest sons of chieftains who were sent here to study since childhood. Then there are the annual tribute students, who are the tributes from various places.
The emperor's talents.
At this time, Kang Qiang's powerful chanting sound suddenly came from outside the carriage.
"The current Emperor Shenwu is Zhou Xuan, who wrote the chapter on the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition."
The sound of reciting alarmed Chongzhen. He and the queen opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside. They saw the prince-in-law Gong Yonggu and the students from the Imperial College lined up neatly and reciting with their heads held high.
"One family in the four seas has a celestial calendar, and hundreds of counties in the two rivers have mountains and rivers to sing."
Chongzhen was excited. Yes, this world is the land of the Ming Dynasty. The whole world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the ministers of the king. Since he came to the throne, he has worked hard to become stronger. It is the time to conquer hundreds of battles in the south and display his grand ambitions.
"All the gentlemen still stick to the policy of peace and pro-government, but those with lofty ideals donate their youth in vain!"
Li Biao, Qian Longxi and others frowned, these words were particularly harsh to them.
Obviously these imperial students did not go against Uncle Dingyuan. They did not make peace with their relatives. They fought vigorously in the northwest. On the contrary, Donglin and his gang, Liaodong not only failed to improve, but also caused a big mess in Jizhen.
"The snow in Jingluo disappears and spring comes again, and the grass on Yongchang Mausoleum is lush."
Everyone in Donglin felt very uncomfortable. Is this the emperor's dissatisfaction? Why did the emperor's brother-in-law lead these students from the Imperial College to recite Lu You's "Book of Indignation" in unison? Is this anger directed at Donglin?
But to be fair to them, Dong Lin has basically not accomplished anything in the two years since he came to power.
The Qing army also caused Ji Zhen to rebel. After Yuan Chonghuan came to power, there was no progress in Liaodong. Recently, he was impeached by the imperial censor for negotiating a peace secretly.
