When approaching the Meridian Gate Tower, the soldiers of the Ming army turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen at the same time. While giving military salutes, they shouted loudly: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Long live our emperor!"
Every soldier held his head high and walked proudly past the captured enemy flags on the ground.
These soldiers were all those who made the most military exploits in the Battle of Jizhou. In other words, most of them were veterans of the original Yongwei Battalion, and a small number were soldiers of the original Xiaoyuan Battalion. They were used to fighting and had experienced
It was a psychological baptism for the defeat of the Jianlu. In addition, they all wore uniform armor and uniforms, and carried uniform ordnance. Walking through such a square formation one after another, all the spectators were shocked: Look, it turns out that
This is the real strong army, the invincible army!
Even those Franji people who were a little disapproving at first, after seeing this scene and mentally weighing what would happen if they came to fight such an army, they all stood in awe and did not dare to show any contempt anymore.
.
Not to mention anything else, the Fo Langji people were proud of their firearms. When they saw the car camp dragging steel cannons one after another, they showed very envious eyes when they passed by them. Because Fo Langji people were very proud of their firearms.
The Langji people can't do it themselves, and their artillery is still extremely heavy iron cannon.
Just like the athletes of later generations entering the stadium, the troops during the military parade lined up on the Meridian Square facing the Meridian Tower after a complete circuit. They were in an orderly manner. No matter how cold the wind was, each one stood like a javelin. Only the war horses
, the snorting sound of the spray will only make it move a little bit.
Finally, the team escorting the prisoners began to appear. Two soldiers carried a prisoner with a sign on their head. When they passed by the Meridian Gate Tower, they loudly announced the identity of the prisoner.
"Capture alive the Puppet Qing General Fengtian, Duo Luo Rao Yu Beile Aisin Gioro Abatai!"
"Capture Shandro, the leader of the Mongolian Aohan tribe alive!"
"..."
Abatai came all the way and already understood in his heart that he was probably the most famous person, even more famous than Huang Taiji. However, this was definitely not what he wanted.
At this time, he felt very regretful. If he had known this, it would have been better to commit suicide, but now he was humiliated! Even if he ran away, he would have died in Liaodong at most!
He wanted to resist and express the unyieldingness of the Qing warriors. However, after being starved for many days, he had no strength at all. Being held up by two strong Ming army soldiers, he was just like an old man in his dying years.
At this time, the civil and military officials and representatives from various provinces who were watching the ceremony showed curious expressions and looked at these prisoners with wide eyes. It turned out that the extremely vicious Jianlu and Mongolian Tatars looked no different from ordinary people. The only difference was money.
Rat tail and the like.
Basically, except for the people around Emperor Chongzhen, no one else could hold it back. They all pointed at and whispered to the prisoners with expressions as if they were watching a monkey show.
Those who participated in the sacrifice of prisoners were all prisoners with official titles, including Jianlu and Mongolian Tatars. There were more than 500 people in total. After passing through the Meridian Tower to report their numbers, they also went around to the farthest side from the Meridian Gate before entering the square.
Line up.
The last person to enter was Sun Chuanting, the commander-in-chief of the Jizhou battle and the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty. After arriving in front of the Meridian Tower, he saluted Emperor Chongzhen and then moved to the Meridian Square opposite the Meridian Tower.
All the teams participating in the sacrifice of prisoners are now lined up in front of the Meridian Gate Tower. One square formation after another, in order. Amidst the howling of the cold wind, the flags of the Ming Dynasty are ringing!
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of firecrackers sounded again.
After the release, the commander-in-chief Sun Chuanting came out again and loudly reported the final statistics to Emperor Chongzhen.
This moment was also his highlight moment. Everyone was watching him and listening to him loudly complaining.
Even if people who are far away cannot hear the content clearly, it does not prevent them from all keeping their ears open and listening attentively.
After reciting, the cloth in his hand was handed over to the Chief Minister of the Ming Dynasty to congratulate Feng Sheng, and was sent downstairs of the Meridian Gate. Then it was handed over to Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and finally delivered to the emperor.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of firecrackers sounded again.
After stopping, the Minister of Punishment came out and loudly reported to Emperor Chongzhen the evil deeds of the Jianlu and Mongolian Tatars. He also requested that these Jianlu and Mongolian Tatars be beheaded and go to the city Cao for execution together.
After he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen spoke for the first time. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and shouted: "Take it!"
The unique design of the square outside the Meridian Gate, surrounded on three sides, creates a very good sound concentration effect. When the imperial edict is issued at the Meridian Gate, every official in the Meridian Gate Square can hear the imperial edict on the tower more clearly.
The word "take it" goes from near to far. First, Emperor Chongzhen shouted it, and then the ministers beside Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "Take it"!
After that, the ministers and soldiers nearby also responded, from two to four, from four to eight, from top to bottom from the Meridian Gate to the three hundred and sixty who were guarding in front of the Meridian Gate.
The famous Jinwu generals responded in unison, their voices were as loud as thunder, and the sky was majestic.
This time, Emperor Chongzhen did not pardon anyone, so naturally they were all taken to the vegetable market for execution.
When some lucky Jianlu and Mongol Tatar leaders heard this, many of them were so frightened that they could not stand and were immediately dragged away by the Ming army soldiers.
Facing death, no matter how vicious they were before, most of them now show their ugly appearance!
The royal family, the civil and military generals, the generals of the Han Dynasty, all the soldiers, and the common people watching the ceremony all faced Emperor Chongzhen. Wen kneeled on one knee and Wu kneeled on one knee, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, my emperor!"
Long live!"
At this time, the music finally started playing, which was the music of triumph, and Emperor Chongzhen went downstairs and returned to the palace.
During the whole process, the prince held Emperor Chongzhen's most precious mobile phone in his hand and acted as the first real photographer since the founding of the world by Pangu.
He took photos of the entire ceremony of presenting prisoners, including the majesty of Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen was worried about the others. Only his son, who was appointed as the prince, gave him his mobile phone and asked the prince to take pictures after repeated instructions.
After getting off the tower, he immediately took the cell phone back from his son, and then looked back at it with relish.
The most glorious scene in life, with this mobile phone in hand, it is natural to record it no matter what, so that this glorious moment can be passed down to future generations.
Of course, in addition to this, there is also Liu Weichao's request. He also wants to see what the combination of the military parade and the prisoner presentation ceremony directed by him is like?
After Emperor Chongzhen read it himself, he passed it on to Liu Weichao.
From the moment Emperor Chongzhen descended from the Wumen Tower, although the official prisoner presentation ceremony ended, there were still many things to follow.
For example, the next highlight is Caishikou Kacha, the leaders of the Jianlu and Mongol Tatars.
Therefore, after the emperor left, the people in the capital did not disperse because of this, but all rushed to the vegetable market. They must see with their own eyes that these damn Jianlu and Mongolian Tatars were killed with a thousand cuts and watched their execution
.
The Minister of Punishment and other high-level execution officials left first, and then, with the order maintained by the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, all the people began to go to Caishikou.
Generally speaking, criminals are not executed at the Meridian Gate. This is the gate of the palace, how can it be used as a place for execution.
The reason why there are rumors in later generations that people say "beheadings at the Meridian Gate" is because according to textual research, it was during the great ceremonial disputes during the Jiajing Emperor's period. Hundreds of officials knelt down to remonstrate outside the Meridian Gate, which angered the Emperor Jiajing.
He beat several people to death with his cane, and then this rumor came about.
About an hour later, the Caishikou area was already crowded with people. About five hundred prisoners were lined up in multiple rows, kneeling on and off the execution platform.
There were too many people to kneel on the execution platform, and there were not that many executioners, so the Ming army soldiers acted as temporary executioners.
There were only a few people on the execution platform. They were not kneeling, but tied.
These people were headed by Aixinjueluo Abatai and the patriarchs of the Mongolian Tatars.
The people in the capital who were watching were all extremely angry. Many people even held the memorial tablets in their hands and waited with tears streaming down their faces.
The tablets in their hands were for their relatives who died under the Jianlu invaders. They brought them to the execution ground so that the spirits of those relatives in heaven could see with their own eyes the fate of the Jianlu captives and the Mongol Tatars!
They originally thought that revenge would be impossible, but when they had such an opportunity, they shouted angrily and cursed these demons who did all kinds of evil.
As soon as three quarters past noon, an order was given, and the leaders of the Jianlu and Mongol Tatars who were kneeling under the execution platform were killed by the swords raised and dropped by the soldiers of the Ming army.
The crowd of onlookers, after holding their breath for a while, suddenly roared like thunder: "Okay!"
And on the execution platform, those serving here are real executioners, because these highest-ranking Jianlu and Mongol Tatar leaders were sentenced to be beheaded and die with a thousand knives!
"Kill, kill, kill..." The people in the capital roared in unison, matching the executioner's blows one after another, expressing their deep-seated hatred for these Jianlu and Mongolian Tatars!
After the execution was completed, as soon as the prison officials left and the Ming army soldiers withdrew, the onlookers broke through the blockade of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, rushed to the execution ground one after another, and grabbed the bodies of the Jianlu and Mongol Tatars. It was not for them.
Instead of collecting the corpses, sacrifice those deceased relatives.
In the commonly known Jinluan Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together to deliver congratulatory messages to Emperor Chongzhen.
Not to mention the generals, these civil servants all came from the imperial examination hall, and naturally every article they wrote was to flatter Emperor Chongzhen in different ways.
The entire hall was filled with joy. Some of the usual intrigues did not exist at least at this time.
Emperor Chongzhen sat high on his throne with a smile on his face, listening to flattery after flattery. He really didn't mind sitting there for a long time.
After this period has passed, it is finally time to award the reward.
