Chapter 157 Build the Beijing Temple! Build the Province!
On the lonely plain, the cold wind smelling of blood blows, and the corpses are piled up, like a purgatory on earth.
Zhu Gaojie suddenly felt a wet chill on his forehead. He looked up and saw that it was snowflakes flying, covering the rich blood and broken battlefield.
"Butcher! You butcher!"
Shakanu roared at King Qi with red eyes. Behind him were a series of corpses of the Jurchen tribe.
It was this damned King Qi, this executioner, who ruthlessly ordered the slaughter!
"Drag him away and behead him for public display." Zhu Gaojiao waved his hand calmly.
Violence cannot bring lasting peace, but it can silence those you hate.
He brought 30,000 elite men to Jianzhou, and in just over a month, he made hundreds of Jurchen tribesmen here obediently beg for mercy, relying not on their mouths, but on their knives.
"Red Rong."
"The end is here!"
"I order you to lead five thousand elites to annihilate the left guard of Jianzhou, and bring the head of Timur, the fierce brother, to see me."
"Pass this king's order to build a temple in Beijing!"
"The emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were all in one place, and they lasted for three generations and followed the Han and Tang dynasties. They traveled from heaven to end and refused to submit to concubines."
If it were within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, such a good thing would not be possible.
Yongning Temple is located in Nurgan City, the headquarters of Nurgandusi, the highest military and political station in the outer northeast of the Ming Dynasty. However, Yongning Temple was destroyed. The Ming Dynasty did not know anything about such a big thing. It must have happened by chance a few years later.
It was only after an inspection that I discovered that the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Nuergan was indeed somewhat embarrassing.
Jing refers to a high hill; Guan refers to a palace. When ancient people killed thieves and laid out their corpses after a successful battle, they would build a Jingguan as a place to hide the corpses. They were used as battlefields in ancient times.
Zhu Gaojiu tapped the desk lightly and said seriously, "First of all, five prefectures are established on the basis of Jianzhou, namely, Jiandong Prefecture, Jiannan Prefecture, Jianxi Prefecture, Jianbei Prefecture, Jianzhong Prefecture, Jianzhong Prefecture, and Jianzhong Prefecture as the core.
The Government Envoy Si Yamen, the Inspection Envoy Si Yamen, the Naturalization Envoy Si Yamen, and the Dusi Military Camp will all be established in Jianzhong Prefecture. This territory may expand in the future, but in the end only five prefectures will be established."
"This stone serves as evidence. Anyone who offends the prestige of our Ming Dynasty will be punished!"
Zhu Gaojie said: "I want to suppress the Jurchens, not for ten years or twenty years, but forever, so that the Jurchen civilization will be destroyed forever!"
To carve words on a stone tablet, you usually spray water on the stone first, cover the rice paper with the written words on it, and beat it evenly to make the writing imprinted on the stone. After peeling it off, you can hand it over to the carver for carving. However, for calligraphers with high skills,
Usually, they are written directly on the stone with ink or cinnabar, and then carved by a stonemason.
These Ming people are really terrible!
…
"Now that the establishment of a state has been completed, the next step is to set up the system first."
This is the head of Sakyamuni, the most powerful chief among the Jurchens in Jianzhou!
"Your Majesty, the Jingguan has been built. Did you inscribe it yourself?" asked the Ming army general in charge of building the Jingguan.
The Ming Dynasty has always treated these foreign ministers like a big country. At most, it would only send troops to suppress them, but would not kill them all. As a result, the foreigners became more and more arrogant. If they did not give them an unforgettable lesson, they would never be able to surrender.
them.
"Anyone who insults our people, the Ming Dynasty, will be punished!" "Those who invade our territory of the Ming Dynasty will be punished!"
…
A little cultured, but not much.
Hearing the words "Long live the prince", Zhu Yong was frightened and coughed violently. However, the Yongle Dynasty had a strong martial arts style, and the soldiers were also quite tough. After winning the battle, they would say something arrogant in private, as long as it was not too much.
, the others just pretended not to hear it.
If it was to suppress bandits, it would not be unusual to build a capital temple. But now that King Qi has no intention of exterminating the Jurchen clan, building a capital temple might be a bit inappropriate.
The soldiers cheered for joy: "My lord is mighty!"
On the mound stood an unmarked stone tablet and a decapitated head.
"Jingguan" is also called "Martial Army", which is to pile the enemy's corpses on both sides of the road, cover them with soil and compact them, forming a pyramid-shaped mound, in order to show military power and deter the enemy.
What King Qi wrote on the stele was in classical Chinese, which made Zhu Yong a little confused. He obviously knew every word, but when they were put together, it was as mysterious as a heavenly book.
Zhu Yong could only say vaguely: "Prince Qi said on the stele that if anyone dares to mess with me again in the future, we will kill his whole family!"
When the captured Jurchens saw the wild behavior of the Ming army, they were so frightened that they shrank their necks and shivered.
The whole inscription is written in wild and unrestrained fonts, and the evil spirit is oncoming, which makes people feel shocked. Especially the three "kill them", like three thousand bloody swords coming out to kill!
"promise!"
The construction of the Jingguan was indeed hurtful, but since it was a foreigner's Jingguan, it was not a big deal.
"In the twelfth year of Yongle, in the middle of Jiawu, in the middle of winter, King Zhu Gaojie of Qi set up a stone. Don't say that he was unpredicted!"
Zhu Gaojie's writing skills were always very good, so he directly picked up the wolf hair, hung cinnabar on it, and wrote on the smooth stone tablet.
There were too many illiterates in the army and they couldn't understand what Prince Qi wrote on the monument, so they surrounded Zhu Yong and asked, "My lord, what is written on this monument?"
"Long live the prince!"
The wolf-hair brush moves like a dragon and snake, and the cinnabar is like a bloody dragon, writing majestic running script on the stone tablet.
Is this reasonable?
After the Ming army swept through Jianzhou, they set up a temporary camp on the site of Jianzhou Guard and built a simple town.
"Ah..." Zhu Yong was a little embarrassed.
"Prince Qi is awesome!"
Compared with the regular three divisions of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaojie implemented the policy of "four divisions" in Jianzhou, with an additional naturalized envoy division.
"Zhujingguan?"
"There are only prefectures, but no prefectures and counties?" Zhu Yong asked doubtfully.
Zhu Gaojie glanced at the Jianzhou Wei Jurchen who was kneeling on the ground shivering after the defeat, and lightly closed his eyes.
The key is that Zhu Yong was right. This is what Zhu Gaojie wanted to express.
Zhu Gaojie suddenly opened his eyes, unleashed his evil spirit, and shouted loudly: "Find out the chief of the Jianzhou Guards, Sakyamuni, and all the Jurchens in the Jianzhou Guards who have participated in humiliating the Han people and disobeying the imperial court, and build a palace in the capital."
!”
"What I want to say next is the most important thing."
Although the early work was a bit heavier, the advantage was that Zhu Gaojie could unscrupulously turn Jianzhou into his own hall, and build whatever system he wanted. Jianzhou was his territory, and the court could not get involved.
The core of the town is Shuaiying, which is actually a shabby house built with birch bark and stone bricks. There is no way, the Jurchens belong to a hunting civilization, and they often move around. There is no decent city at all, so they can only go step by step.
Set up a stage.
In the commander's camp, Zhu Gaojie was facing Zhang Fu, and Zhu Yong said, "Send a letter to the capital and find at least thirty candidates for me. Students with Jinshi background should have a clean background, preferably from Prince Qi's palace... Ahem,
I won’t go into details, I understand everything I know. Transferring people from the capital, requesting an edict to change Jianzhou into ‘Jianzhou Province’, and establishing the Jianzhou Chief Envoy, the Imperial Envoy, and the Naturalization Envoy. Then from us
Five thousand people were transferred from the Northern Expedition Army to form the Jianzhou Capital Command and Envoy Department. Without troops stationed, all the systems are bullshit."
The local system of the Ming Dynasty was that the imperial court controlled the provinces, the provinces controlled the prefectures, and the prefectures controlled the prefectures and counties. However, the "state-building system" mentioned by Zhu Gaojie simply slapped the prefectures and counties away.
During the Xuande Dynasty, the imperial court sent people to lead a team to inspect Yongning Temple, only to find that Yongning Temple had been destroyed. We still didn’t know who did it. After asking, we found out that it was a savage tribe that destroyed it.
The main task of the Naturalization Envoy Department is to apply for the "Ming Dynasty household registration" for the Jurchens. This was originally the task of the Chief Envoy Department, but special policies must be used in special places. Zhu Gaojie felt that after his own policy was implemented, he would only apply for the Ming Dynasty household registration.
This task would overwhelm the Chief Envoy, so a separate department was simply set up to handle this task.
Zhang Fu was stunned when he heard this, "My lord, isn't your plan to recruit the Jurchens? Isn't this building of the Jingguan too violent?"
"How damn domineering! If anyone dares to offend my Ming Dynasty in the future, let the prince take us to destroy their country!"
In Jianzhouwei's camp, a hill-like building was gradually built, and the scarlet sand on the hill looked a little strange.
These Jurchens have two faces. When they are weak, they serve the Ming Dynasty as their master. When they are strong, they plunder the border people of the Ming Dynasty. They repeat this endlessly and commit heinous crimes.
The Ming Dynasty set up many guard posts in Nuergandusi. Although it was nominally ruled by the Han people, in fact it was dominated by the Jurchens and implemented the strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians. The Han garrison in Nuergan actually only had one or two thousand officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers still conduct seasonal inspections, and their dominance is approximately zero.
"At that time, there were slaves wandering around in Nu'erqian, disturbing the border, causing a lot of evil, and people and gods were angry. The great Ming Dynasty sent 30,000 troops to the northeast to wipe out the slaves, and beheaded more than 80,000 captives. The leader of the slaves, Sakyamuni, interrogated the culprits and issued a notice
World."
"I will write the inscription myself."
"Appease? When did I say that I wanted to appease the Jurchens?"
Zhu Yong had read a book. He was forced to attend a private school under the urging of the previous generation Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng. However, after learning the characters, the gentleman directly taught the Four Books and Five Classics, which drove Zhu Yong crazy. He spent the whole day
Here I just skipped class and played.
"Prince Qi is mighty!"
"Prefectures and counties will be decided later. Since the establishment of a prefecture is sparsely populated, we can only set up the provincial and prefectural teams first, and then set up prefectures and counties after the system is stable."
Zhu Gaojie said seriously, "The most important thing is the Chinese Language Institute! Every prefecture must set up a Chinese Language Institute. After we improve the system of establishing a state, this standard will rise to the point where every state and county must set up a Chinese Language Institute."
"We sent a letter to the capital to transfer students from the Imperial College to oversee the students. Now there are so many students from the Imperial College that the school is almost crowded. We transferred people from the Imperial College, and the court was very happy. The transferred students taught in the Chinese College, and ten of the Jurchen tribesmen were recruited.
As students under the age of five, we don’t need to teach anything else, just teach them the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucius, Mencius and Zhuzi!”
