After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen made a decision and said: "In that case, I will issue an order that the cavalry troops on the other side of Guihua City be trained in actual combat; the captured prisoners can just be used to build the railway on the other side of Guihua City.
"
Eastern Mongolia, after being conquered by the Jianlu, has always listened to the orders of the Jianlu, and entered the customs with the Jianlu several times to plunder. As for the various ethnic groups in eastern Mongolia, since there has been no movement on the part of Du Yinxi to instigate rebellion, Emperor Chongzhen will not
You're welcome.
In fact, if it weren't for his lofty goal of becoming the ruler of the earth and needing more manpower and troops, he would even be willing to kill all the ethnic groups in the eastern Mongolia to avenge old grievances.
It can be clearly seen that Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards the three tribes of Mobei, Wasi and the eastern Mongolian tribes was different.
Afterwards, he held a formal meeting of the six ministries and nine ministers and announced the decision after discussing with Sun Chuanting.
The most important thing for the court in the first half of the year was that the Tang Dynasty King wanted to conquer Jiuzhou Island. The Tang Dynasty clan had to move there, and the troops recruited by the Tang King had to be shipped there to conquer Jiuzhou Island. Nanyang was originally the Tang Dynasty King's fiefdom.
There are still many things to hand over.
Therefore, at this stage, the cavalry on the Guihua City side first used training to attack the eastern Mongolian tribes.
In addition, other armies within the Pass will also begin to assemble. Emperor Chongzhen's goal is to launch a general offensive against Liaodong and North Korea in the second half of this year or next year, regain Liaodong, capture North Korea, and completely end the war in Liaodong.
For such a large-scale war, there is a lot of preparation work in the early stages. It is just a good time to make preparations during the first half of the year when the Tang Dynasty King established the vassal state.
In other words, the next focus of the imperial court is to deal with the Jianlu in Liaodong and the Japanese pirates in Korea.
Others will naturally have no objections to this decision, especially the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who welcomes it with both hands and feet. Although raising cavalry in Guihua City is on the grassland, it is cheaper than raising cavalry in the Central Plains.
But that was also a cavalry army, and the cost was still very high.
If we can use actual combat methods and directly send them out to fight, for the Ministry of Revenue, it will be able to reduce a lot of the cost of raising troops, and naturally we will be most happy.
After the matter was discussed, Emperor Chongzhen became serious and said to his ministers: "I hate those people who eat inside and outside and work for foreigners to harm the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, Fan Wencheng should be cut into pieces as a warning to others.
A warning for others.”
The courtiers below were only slightly surprised when they heard this. If Fan Wencheng had been replaced by Hong Chengchou, they would not be surprised.
Because in this dimension, Fan Wencheng's reputation is not obvious. After all, when he took the initiative to join the Jianlu, he was just a scholar. Far inferior to Hong Chengchou, who was originally a senior official of the Ming Dynasty, and there were also some senior generals.
Many people took refuge in the Jianlu and worked hard for the Jianlu.
Naturally, they didn't know how harmful Fan Wencheng was to the original Ming Dynasty. And the most important thing is that he took the initiative to join the Jianlu, and was not forced to do so.
In short, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Fan Wencheng must be killed.
His attitude made all the ministers below him alert. If anyone dared to do this, the emperor would never forgive him lightly.
As a result, before they could think of it, they heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to say sternly to them: "The execution will be carried out tomorrow, and all civil and military officials will not be allowed to ask for leave. They will all go to observe the execution!"
At this time, these courtiers below were a little shocked.
In the past, when Abatai, the slave chieftain, and Ajige were beheaded alive, the emperor did not require all civil and military officials to watch the execution. However, the emperor asked all civil and military officials to go to such an unknown traitor.
Watch the execution!
Thinking like this, they couldn't help but secretly hate Hong Chengchou in their hearts. Because in their opinion, it must be Hong Chengchou who surrendered to the Jianqiu and worked for the Jianqiu, which made the emperor feel that officials like them could easily surrender to the enemy. Kill Fan Wencheng, the chicken.
Showed it to them.
Emperor Chongzhen then turned to look at Chen Yuanyuan, the envoy of the Political Department, and said: "The Department of Political Affairs wants to publicize this matter about Fan Wencheng. Any Ming citizen who dares to sacrifice his life for a foreign race and become a traitor's lackey will end up like this."
!”
"Wei Chen accepts the order!" Chen Yuanyuan heard this and immediately responded loudly.
Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little less angry.
The reason why he did this was because he also considered that the Ming Dynasty was about to expand its territory and fight more foreign races. In the years to come, he did not want to see the Ming people still having weak bones and forgetting their ancestors.
Such people will sacrifice their lives for foreigners!
This is also the reason why Fan Wencheng was sentenced to death with a thousand cuts, while Ying Erdai was only cut in half.
So, when the execution was carried out the next day, with all the civil and military officials observing the execution, the matter suddenly became big news and became one of the main topics in the streets of the capital.
"This Fan Wencheng has really embarrassed our surnamed Fan. After today, everyone in the country knows that he has forgotten his ancestors."
"Don't you know, this person claims to be a descendant of Duke Fan Wenzheng!"
"What? If Mr. Fan Wenzheng knew about it, wouldn't the coffin boards be able to hold it down!"
"Who said otherwise? I thought that Mr. Fan Wenzheng would be loyal to the emperor and serve the country all his life, but he never expected that among his descendants, there would be such a shameless person!"
"Then I understand. Your Majesty asked all civil and military officials to come and watch the execution. It probably means that they should all pay attention to their family education, so as not to be like Mr. Fan Wenzheng, whose descendants will forget their ancestors!"
"Yes, that must be the reason!"
"Actually, not necessarily. If I tell you what, the emperor asked all civil and military officials to come and observe the execution. It has another meaning!"
"What else could it mean?"
"If civil and military officials take bribes and bend the law, is this considered a kind of betrayal? I think this is actually a warning to civil and military officials!"
"Oh, Mr. Yu Shan said this, it is really possible!"
"..."
Mr. Yushan, Qian Qianyi’s honorific title, also talked eloquently about this incident and expressed his disdain for Fan Wencheng. Unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen didn’t know about this, otherwise he would have just laughed it off.
That is to say, his fortune was good, the Ming Dynasty was revived, and Qian Qianyi's fate also changed accordingly. At least he could maintain his own image, no longer had the nickname "The water is too cold", and did not leave a mark of shame in history.
.
At this time, after gathering with friends, he went back to the inn to rest, accompanied by Liu Rushi.
One of the reasons why Qian Qianyi came to the capital with Liu Rushi was that the imperial court added a miscellaneous subject to the special examination of gewu studies, mainly about music.
Liu Rushi was very tempted and wanted to take this exam, maybe he could become an official in the Department of Political Affairs.
Qian Qianyi was very supportive of this and accompanied her over.
There is another reason, of course, it is Qian Qianyi's own. After he was dismissed from office, he actually always wanted to be an official again. But Emperor Chongzhen had no intention of using him at all, so he had to run for office himself.
Ruan Dacheng, who was originally in a similar situation to him, was resurrected because of Ma Shiying's relationship. Now he is the political envoy in Nanjing. Although he is not as good as the officials in the capital, he is still a third-rank official, which makes him very envious.
.
Qian Qianyi also has connections in this area. Not to mention anything else, the Zheng family, which is very popular nowadays, has a special relationship with him. No, Zheng Sen, the commander of Jinyiwei, is his
Student. It was he who named him the word "sen".
Qian Qianyi's plan was to go the same way as the Zheng family to see if he could be revived. If he was still not favored by the emperor and had no hope in the officialdom, he was going to contact the King of Tang to see if he could be revived.
Go to the Tang Dynasty and become a better official.
As for his thoughts, Liu Rushi, who was beside her, naturally understood very well. After serving Qian Qianyi in the inn and sitting down to drink tea and sober up, she said to Qian Qianyi: "Master, why don't you write more first?"
Click on some articles and send them to newspapers for publication, and write those that praise the study of physics. With this foundation, if you go to the Zheng family, you may get twice the result with half the effort."
After hearing this, Qian Qianyi suddenly sighed and said, "I don't know what you're talking about! That Ruan Dacheng only came to the attention of the emperor after advocating the study of objects. But today is different from the past. When he wrote that article
At that time, the study of studies had not yet been promoted nationwide, and the emperor desperately needed articles like this to build momentum for the promotion of study of studies. But now, the special examination for studies of studies has been held for several years, and the number of candidates taking the study route is higher than that of the imperial examination every year.
There are so many of them, it can be considered that it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the emperor should no longer care about articles praising the study of physics!"
Liu Rushi knew that what he said was reasonable, but she still advised him: "Sir, it is better to write this than not to write at all! Besides, I have a high prestige among scholars, and my literary talent is good. If I write articles, I will be troubled."
If it reaches the emperor's itchy spot, wouldn't it also fall into the emperor's eyes?"
Hearing this, Qian Qianyi's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, this is a direction. Although it is indeed a little late to put down the shame and write this now. However, as long as he finds out what the emperor likes and writes specifically about this aspect,
If you write an article, it will definitely reach the heavens, and maybe the emperor will use him because of it?
I have to say that Qian Qianyi's literary level is there. Moreover, his IQ is absolutely no problem.
Under Liu Rushi's reminder, Qian Qianyi immediately found the direction and began to analyze it carefully.
The first thing that came to his mind was that the emperor obviously hated people who were openly treacherous, betrayed the court, betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and served the enemy! Otherwise, there was no such thing as requiring all civil and military officials to watch the execution.
Also, this is like this on the surface, but what about secretly? Is the emperor taking this opportunity to hint at something? If I can grasp it and write an article in this regard, I might be able to scratch the emperor's itch, thus
Gain the emperor's appreciation again!
Yes, this is the direction!
Qian Qianyi thought so and decided to think about it carefully!
