Emperor Chongzhen, who only went to the back hall to make a false shot, returned to the front hall, looked at the civil and military officials in front of him, and immediately said seriously: "The hereditary system is being reformed through the method of progressive reduction, and the Nanjing Xungui Case will punish the three tribes!"
Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials in the palace knew that Emperor Taizu had listened to the current emperor's advice.
The civil servants were slightly disappointed, but the generals were extremely grateful to Emperor Chongzhen. At least the Ming Dynasty's highest reward could still benefit his descendants.
However, before the civil and military officials had time to speak, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "In addition, the official abolition of the local defense system and the opening of the Military Academy was the Yamen under the Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty and a place for advanced training for middle and lower-level officers in the army.
.”
In fact, ever since the reorganization of the guard system in the past few years, when elites were selected to join the field army and the rest were converted into railway troops, the guard system has basically ceased to exist. Now that Emperor Chongzhen has proposed it, it is officially abolished.
This time, he took this opportunity to speak out, making the civil and military officials think that this was also approved by Emperor Taizu who established this system.
Therefore, none of the civil and military officials had any objections.
This time the great court meeting was almost over.
The result of the court meeting naturally caused a sensation. Especially among the nobles, it was a huge commotion.
They never imagined that by missing a court meeting, they would lose an iron rice bowl, no, a golden rice bowl.
On the emperor's side, they did not dare to say it. After all, this was the decision of Emperor Taizu, and it was the current emperor who thought of their ancestors' merits. Otherwise, according to Duke Dingguo's words, the hereditary system was completely abolished, and it would be really doomed.
.
For this reason, all the nobles pointed their fingers at Xu Yunzhen, Duke of Dingguo. However, he stayed behind closed doors after the court meeting, so even if you scolded him, you wouldn't hear him.
The Nanjing Xungui case has also been concluded.
One duke, Duke of Wei, four marquises, namely Anyuanhou, Funinghou, Linhuaihou, Lingbihou, four counts, Xinchengbo, Chenganbo, Dongningbo, Ningjinbo, these hereditary honors
Gui was punished by three tribes.
In addition, those who were local officials at the time and cooperated with the bandits because of their honor were also conspirators, and they also punished the three tribes.
In the end, the Nanjing Xungui Case killed more than 30,000 people. It was the largest case in the Chongzhen Dynasty and the largest case in the Ming Dynasty.
Later, the imperial court also issued an imperial edict to all states and counties in the world, detailing the Nanjing Xungui case to warn future generations.
First, if you are proud of your merits and violate laws and disciplines, the court will definitely punish you severely and will never protect you;
Second, killing an official is rebellion and a serious crime of treason!
Third, colluding with rebels and foreign barbarians is treason, and it is also a serious crime of rebellion!
Fourth, betraying national interests, just like secretly selling steam engine blueprints to Westerners in this case, is also considered treason and a serious crime of conspiracy!
Among them, the first and second items were very clear to the ancients, but now they are just emphasized.
Third, especially Article 4, in the late Ming Dynasty, many people did not have this concept. In other words, although they felt that it was wrong to do so, they did not realize the serious consequences of doing so.
Therefore, the Political Affairs Department headed by Chen Yuanyuan took advantage of the Nanjing Xungui case and began to focus on publicity.
One of the most typical examples is the Shanxi merchants. They thought they were just doing business with the Liaodong Jianlu. However, as a result, the Jianlu became stronger, which not only caused heavy casualties to the imperial officers and soldiers, but also caused many innocent people to suffer the tragedy of family destruction and death.
This incident is the most unforgettable for the Ming people in the north.
Nowadays, the Nanjing nobles collude with the bandits, which is intolerable to the people of the south.
But what surprised the people of the Ming Dynasty, including the officials and gentry, was that the imperial court now also defined the relationship with the Western Yi.
The steam engine is the national treasure of the Ming Dynasty. Secretly selling the blueprints of the national treasure to the Dutch is equivalent to selling the national treasure to the Western Yi, which will allow the Western Yi to have the power to change the world. The Western Yi massacred the Luzon Ming people several times, and there are
Colluded with Annan to rebel and killed more than 5,000 imperial officers and soldiers.
This kind of behavior is similar to that of Shanxi merchants back then, and the court cannot tolerate it. Now it is clearly classified as treason and rebellion, which is a serious crime!
With the Nanjing Xungui case before us, whoever dares to do similar things in the future will have to consider the consequences of killing the three clans!
As for which commodities can be bought and sold and which cannot, the Department of Political Affairs also publicized them to everyone in the Ming Dynasty.
Things registered in the Ouchi Patent Office, whether methods or techniques, are classified according to levels, divided into levels A, B, C and D. Among them, steam engines belong to Class A, which is currently the highest level of confidentiality. No one is allowed to be the inventor, that is, the emperor agrees.
, may not be sold, imitated, sold, etc.
Inventions, ancestral skills, etc. that are considered unique by the people can also be applied to the patent office. Once approved, they will be protected by the court. If others want to imitate them, they must at least authorize them and share the profits.
With the in-depth propaganda of the Government and Communications Department, the information about the Patent Office became more and more widespread. Soon the focus of public opinion throughout the Ming Dynasty shifted from the Nanjing Xungui case to the Patent Office, which involved thousands of households.
As for the Nanjing Xungui case, everyone has been exterminated. Except for a few people, who else cares?
On the contrary, in the Patent Office, even ordinary people may be related, so naturally everyone is willing to discuss it.
Many people see the benefits of patents, and many people see the benefits of patent offices.
Therefore, the Ministry of Industry first stood up and said that it was inappropriate for the Patent Office to belong to the inner palace, and that it was justifiable to change its name under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.
Then, the Ministry of Household Affairs also stood up and said that this was related to money and should belong to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In this way, although the Nanjing Xungui case was widely implicated, under the influence of the Novelty Patent Office, not to mention the influence of the Liaodong victory, it was like a big stone hitting a pond, setting off a wave, and there was no follow-up.
It was so quiet.
The twenty years of Chongzhen, just like this, will soon pass.
For most people in the Ming Dynasty, life is getting better day by day. Even the Jianlu are about to be destroyed and Liaodong is about to be liberated. Everyone is very happy.
At the same time, it was naturally a miserable year for Jianlu.
The weather has turned cold here in Liaodong, and the howling cold wind has already made people feel the harshness of winter.
Dorgon fled in embarrassment, with only about 500 people left around him, and he finally reached Ninggu Pagoda.
"Master, we will reach Ninggu Pagoda in one day's journey!" Dorgon's personal guard reported to Dorgon.
If there were not too many defeated troops and he had to avoid the pursuing Ming army, Dorgon would have arrived at Ninggu Pagoda long ago in a straight line. However, in fact, it was impossible and he had to take a detour or even hide.
, not to mention going through a lot of hardships, but it is indeed not easy, and finally we are going to Ninggu Pagoda.
When we arrived at Ninggu Pagoda, we could finally take a breather!
With this thought in Dorgon's mind, his heart, like a lost dog, finally felt a little calmer.
To the north of Ninggu Pagoda is the granary of the Qing Dynasty. In this era, as long as there is food, there will be people, and if there are people, there will be soldiers. It is as simple as that.
But after arriving at Ninggu Pagoda, there is one more thing to do, which is to seize power.
The guard here at Ninggu Pagoda is Hauge. Dorgon didn't want him to get into more trouble, so he actually arranged for the Great Sage Emperor to possess him. I don't know what he thought, so he threw him to Ninggu Pagoda.
With Hauge's IQ and methods, Dorgon was confident that although he only brought about 500 people, he could still seize control of Ninggu Pagoda from Hauge.
After all, he also has the title of regent, and his ability is even higher than that of Hauge.
At night, the guards brought him food, wrapped him in a blanket, and fell asleep hastily in a sheltered place.
Speaking of which, it is also ironic.
When Dorgon and others escaped from Liaoyang, they didn't take any food with them, and they didn't even bother to bring extra clothes.
Originally, they could get supplies from other places that had not been conquered by the Ming army. At that time, everything they saw along the way was harmed by Japanese pirates.
So, they took food and warm clothes from the Japanese pirates. These things originally belonged to the people of the Qing Dynasty.
The night was getting darker and darker, and suddenly, Dorgon heard a crisp sound of gunshots while he was half asleep.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Dorgon was so frightened that he immediately turned over and sat up, looked around, and asked nervously: "Where is the gunshot? The Ming army is chasing after you?"
The guard on duty heard the noise and immediately came over. When he heard Dorgon's words, he quickly comforted him: "Master, you have a nightmare again!"
After hearing this, Dorgon listened carefully to the surrounding movements and saw the sound of gunshots. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, looking a little lonely.
He never had a good night's sleep during this journey. He often fell asleep and had nightmares.
I originally thought that we were about to arrive at Ninggu Pagoda and it would be time to have a peaceful sleep, but in the end I still had a nightmare.
Thinking of this, Dorgon felt a little sad.
He is not a young boy who has not experienced the world. He must have been trained to be calm about honor and disgrace since he was a child. Just like when he faced Huang Taiji's struggle for power, he did not cover up the nightmare.
Dorgon thought about it carefully and suddenly realized: The Ming Dynasty was really too powerful, which made him feel like he was completely powerless in the face of such a giant. It was this feeling that left him with no confidence, which led to nightmares one after another.
What will happen to the future of the Qing Dynasty?
What will be your own ending?
Thinking about these two problems, Dorgon no longer felt sleepy at all, and began to suffer from insomnia again!
The artillery of the Ming army, as well as the muskets that could shoot so far, were really difficult to deal with.
In the future, even if Ninggu Pagoda is used as the foundation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Ming army to encircle and suppress it. Perhaps, it will have to go north to a more bitter and cold place, a place where the Ming army is not willing to go, and then develop slowly?
Thinking like this, he finally became confused in the second half of the night. Then, Dorgon became energetic and said to his men: "Ninggu Pagoda is right in front of us. Let's take a rest when we get there in one breath!"
However, unsatisfactory things in life are very common!
