Next came the prison car carrying Aixinjueluo Amin. The people in the capital were extremely jealous when they saw it, and the crowd suddenly became commotion. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division tried their best to maintain order and did not become uncontrollable.
The prison car was followed closely by a long vehicle transporting the heads of the Jianlu captives. The heads of more than 4,000 Jianlu captives were beheaded in an unprecedented number in the Ming Dynasty. These Jianlu captives, both inside and outside the customs, had all committed heavy blood debts to the Han people. Finally, they were finally
Got the retribution he deserved.
At the end of the team are the infantry troops belonging to the generals of each route, which are arranged to take care of their hard work.
Emperor Chongzhen first went to the Ancestral Temple and the Sheji Altar to offer sacrifices, and then he wore ordinary clothes and sat in the Meridian Tower at the Meridian Gate to be captured.
Hundreds of civil and military officials, princes and nobles stood at the Meridian Gate to witness this historical moment.
After the prisoner ceremony was completed, Aisin Gioro-Amin was ordered to be beaten to death.
The people in the capital have been waiting for the Western Market for a long time. The executioner cuts a piece of meat, and the people pay for it and eat it raw. In a short time, the meat is sold out. Then the five internal organs are cut out and cut into pieces. The people buy it and swallow it raw with shochu, making their teeth bleed.
cheek.
There is an old saying in China. For those who have a deep hatred for the enemy who killed their father, they will say that they want to eat his flesh and drink his blood. This sentence should now apply to Amin.
The Han people have been influenced by Confucian benevolence for thousands of years. If they didn't hate it to the core, they would not express it in such a barbaric way.[
Amin killed countless Han people in his life, so he got his retribution.
Next, as usual, several government offices began to accept more than 4,000 heads. Zhong Jinwei and Sun Chengzong were summoned to the Wenhua Hall to see them.
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhong Jinwei and Sun Chengzong entering the palace, he quickly ordered them to be seated without ceremony. He knew that there were some things that were not convenient to mention in the memorial, so he summoned the two men alone and asked them about the specific war.
Therefore, Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei complemented each other and explained the Battle of Gyeonggi in detail.
The war was far from going as smoothly as advertised, and Jianlu was not as unbearable. The combination of various factors led to Jianlu's defeat. Even so, it still bit the Ming army hard.
At the end, Sun Chengzong said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, after this battle, I feel that it is imperative to reform the military system. The generals of the various armies have vaguely become local warlords."
Emperor Chongzhen also felt the same way. The military system of the Ming Dynasty was originally based on local garrison units. Farming and training were combined in peacetime. During wartime, they were deployed to the generals of the general army to obey the command. In the end, they were returned to various places, without the worries of warlords.
But now the nine-border frontline has been under the jurisdiction of the General Soldier for a long time, and it is easy for the General Soldier to become arbitrary. In the past, although there were censors and irregular inspections, they were just a mere formality, or they were directly bribed, and they were not effective.
Balance the power of the general soldiers.
Emperor Chongzhen said to Sun Chengzong: "When the supervision system is implemented, the situation should be much better. Moreover, Master Zhong also talked about the quartermaster system. I remember that Master Zhong will allocate part of the capital camp to implement it first. If it is good, it will be used by the entire army.
right?"
Zhong Jinwei nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty. This military quartermaster system is called political commissar in the minister's hometown. It specializes in grasping the army's ideology, making it loyal to the emperor, and clearly serving the country and the people. Therefore, the general soldier wants to control the army privately.
impossible."
"Okay, Master Zhong, this matter must be implemented as soon as possible." Emperor Chongzhen urged.
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be rushed. There is a lot of preparation work to be done." Zhong Jinwei reminded Emperor Chongzhen, and then said: "But for the time being, other strategies can be used to divide the military power in the hands of the various generals."
"What strategy?" Emperor Chongzhen asked.
Zhong Jinwei looked at Sun Chengzong and saw him slightly chin chin. He turned back and replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the result of my discussion with Mr. Sun is that we will take advantage of this great victory to mobilize elite soldiers from all over the country to enrich the capital camp."
If the Beijing camp is strong, the generals in various places will not dare to make any changes. Emperor Chongzhen still has this common sense. He asked Zhong Jinwei: "How to enrich it?" [
"Not only is the number of soldiers in the Beijing camp not enough, but most of the soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the remaining strong soldiers are dragged into various jobs. Since the last incident related to He Chen, it has been controlled by the palace military eunuchs
The suggestion of the ministers and others in the Beijing camp is to eliminate the old and weak in the Beijing camp, and directly convert the strong soldiers into construction troops, and set up a construction corps to specialize in engineering projects. At present, it is road construction." Zhong Jinwei replied.
This plan is a direct reference for later generations by Zhong Jinwei. Currently, free refugees are available, but once the war is over, the refugees will most likely have to go back to rebuild their hometowns, and infrastructure construction will be carried out for a long time in the future, so manpower will always be in short supply.
When Sun Chengzong heard what Zhong Jinwei said, it was his turn to interject: "The Beijing camp follows the old practice and is divided into five armies, three thousand and Shenji battalions. In normal times, the five armies are infantry and the three thousand battalions are cavalry and Shenji."
The battalion is in charge of firearms. This time, the elite infantrymen of the generals from various regions will be mobilized to form a new five armies. The infantry will be composed entirely of lower-level soldiers, and none of them will be used by more than 100 households. Moreover, during the formation, the previous organizational structures will be disrupted and reorganized. "
Emperor Chongzhen nodded repeatedly after hearing this. In this way, not only would he immediately have an elite infantry army that could regain its fighting strength with a little training, but it would also be able to use part of the troops of the general troops in various places. He asked: "Master Sun,
Are there any other measures?”
Sun Chengzong nodded and replied: "All the families of the infantrymen of the fifth army have moved to Beijing to ensure the loyalty of the infantry." After finishing speaking, Sun Chengzong saw Emperor Chongzhen's mouth open, and quickly added: "The temporary measures are just
That’s it.”
Emperor Chongzhen shut his mouth, then changed his mouth and said: "Then there are still three thousand, how can the Shenji Camp be enriched?"
Sun Chengzong did not answer immediately. He looked at Zhong Jinwei and signaled that Zhong Jinwei would do the talking, because it was Zhong Jinwei who proposed the idea about the cavalry.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the cavalry is still related to the Mongolian Tatars. As for the Shenji Battalion, I think we can wait for the two battalions to be built first. Because in the future, the world of the Shenji Battalion will be dominated by the Shenji Battalion.
Shenji camp can be built as a seed camp." Zhong Jinwei explained to Emperor Chongzhen.
"Oh, Master Zhong, you mean that the Three Thousand Battalion will recruit Mongolian cavalry according to the old system?" Emperor Chongzhen asked a little doubtfully.
"No, Your Majesty, that's it." Zhong Jinwei explained to Emperor Chongzhen the bloody crimes of the Mongolian Tatars and the idea of making them pay with blood.
In accordance with the prior agreement with Zhong Jinwei, Sun Chengzong also expressed his agreement with Zhong Jinwei's statement.
Emperor Chongzhen's reaction was indeed not beyond Sun Chengzong's expectations. He agreed without even thinking about it.
Sun Chengzong was displeased and reminded Emperor Chongzhen that if he raided the Mongolian tribes, he must also be prepared for a political response.
Emperor Chongzhen said "Ah" and then looked at Sun Chengzong.
So, Sun Chengzong became a teacher again. When Emperor Chongzhen asked, he answered. Until Emperor Chongzhen understood the series of impacts that the raid on Mongolia would bring.
Emperor Chongzhen was just as Sun Chengzong expected, young and passionate, and he had a very yearning feeling for "those who dare to offend the Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away". He was so domineering!
Now after hearing what Sun Chengzong said, I naturally had no objection and immediately agreed.
However, this matter also involves the cabinet, the Ministry of War and other yamen, so it needs to be discussed before it can be implemented.
After Zhong Jinwei saw that this matter had been concluded, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, there is still an urgent matter that must be dealt with immediately."
"Oh, Master Zhong, what's the urgent matter?" Emperor Chongzhen was originally going to tell Zhong Jinwei a few things about the capital and ask him to deal with it as soon as possible. He didn't expect Zhong Jinwei to say that there was something urgent first, so he suppressed his temper and asked Zhong Jinwei.
