When Li Yuchun led 3,000 men and horses to the north, Zhu Yihai was inspecting the troops and horses in the suburbs of Haiyan not far away.
All the battalions of the Northern Expeditionary Army gathered together, and for a time the military power was at its peak.
When crossing the sea, there were only 100,000 battalions heading north, and only 8,000 new soldiers were recruited. However, at this time, the entire army had more than 40 battalions, and the number of soldiers exceeded 20,000.
Many people in the Liu Kongzhao and Yang Wencong armies were upset after hearing the news that they were going to be disbanded, and some even wanted to take the lead in making trouble. However, when the prison camps arrived and set up camps on all sides, they saw that the camp
Wu was in charge and the army was so powerful that they no longer dared to act recklessly.
Zhu Yihai then set up camp in person.
"Originally, officers at all levels retained their titles, but now there are no corresponding vacancies in the Northern Expeditionary Army. They can only be demoted to deputy positions in each battalion first, but the salary will be paid according to the original rank."
"All soldiers who are selected and retained will be given five taels of silver each to settle down, and will be given a month's salary as a replacement."
"Those who are not selected can sign up for the Changfu Camp. If they are selected, they will receive five taels of Anjia silver plus one month's salary."
"Those who are neither selected as soldiers nor as husbands will be given five taels of severance silver and can choose to be resettled in Wangzhuang, Jiaxing, return to Wangzhuang, East Zhejiang, or find their own way out."
Carloads of white money were brought into the camp and laid out there, forming a mountain of silver.
It still had a great impact on those 20,000 people.
There were piles of silver mountains in the camp, but dozens of soldiers were facing each other with swords and spears outside the camp. The choice was actually very simple. The two generals Liu Kongzhao and Yang Wencong also stepped forward to appease the soldiers, so the initial dissatisfaction disappeared.
They were all comforted.
The reorganization went smoothly. Liu Kongzhao's fourth battalion had 12,000 men and Yang Wenchong's 5,000 men. Their elite servants were given priority to join the cavalry Jinwu battalion to become cavalry, or to join the flagbearers, Yulin, Yongwei and other high-ranking guards.
military.
The sailors in Liu Kongzhao's army were given priority to be integrated into the Fubo Camp of the Navy.
There were almost 18,000 people in the two divisions. The last 8,000 were selected as soldiers and replenished into various divisions, 4,000 were selected as auxiliary soldiers, and the remaining 6,000 were sent away with money.
As for the craftsmen, common people, family members, etc. who accompanied the army, they were placed separately.
Because the number of people retained exceeded the plan, Zhu Yihai also expanded several new battalions, and the Yongwei battalion of Maoxiang and others were also integrated.
In the end, a total of 48 battalions of the Northern Expeditionary Army were formed, including 6,000 men in the 12th Marine Battalion, 2,000 men in the 4th Cavalry Battalion, 16,000 men in the 32nd Infantry Battalion, for a total of 24,000 soldiers.
There are 8,640 senior officers and auxiliary soldiers, making the whole army more than 32,000 people.
It has expanded more than three times compared to when we crossed the sea.
The army was expanding too fast, and there was a serious shortage of equipment and weapons, especially firearms and gunpowder. The cavalry also lacked horses and armor. The infantry and camps were short of all kinds of equipment, especially guns and chariots. Although the navy had many ships, they were very miscellaneous.
But at least in terms of momentum, this does have the momentum of a vassal town.
There are more than 32,000 soldiers in the whole army, including cavalry and naval forces.
When each battalion lined up for review, the bachelor Shen Chenquan even cried with excitement, while the madman Chen Qianfu looked up to the sky and smiled, shouting that ZTE was promising.
After the review was completed, Shen Chenquan made an invitation in person.
"Please change the name of Liehuang Temple."
"Why did Shen Qing make this suggestion?" Zhu Yihai was a little surprised. Chongzhen had been dead for so long, so why did he mention this matter again now?
As a bachelor, and the only bachelor who stayed with Zhu Yihai, Shen Chenquan was very young, and he rarely refuted Zhu Yihai, and more often acted as an assistant. Zhu Yihai's various ideas, he They are all carried out firmly.
This also led to some voices of dissatisfaction coming from Shaoxing's side, saying that he was not worthy of the position of cabinet minister. Even many people in the imperial court believed that Shen Chenquan did not look like a bachelor.
"Your Highness, I think that the temple title that Hongguang Dynasty gave to Emperor Lie was inappropriate."
After Hongguang established the title, the Nanjing court sent people to Beijing to pay homage to Chongzhen's mausoleum, and gave Chongzhen a temple name and a posthumous title.
The posthumous title chosen was Emperor Shao Tian Yidao Gang Ming Ke Frugal Kui Wen Fen Wu Dun Ren Mao Xiao Lie, and the temple name was Sizong.
The posthumous name and temple name I chose are actually pretty good. Although the name is a long one, this is also a tragedy that started in the Tang Dynasty. The actual core is the character "marty", and the choice of this character is somewhat consistent with Chongzhen.
However, this temple name actually has a somewhat derogatory meaning. Although the characters of the emperor's temple name and the posthumous title are not exactly the same, they basically have the same meaning.
In the posthumous title, the word "si" has both praise and derogation. The word "si" is used to open up a land and conquer the country, but it is also called "si" to regret one's past mistakes.
Therefore, there is doubt as to whether it is a compliment or a criticism.
After Chongzhen's death, the scholars and people of the Ming Dynasty actually sympathized with the emperor, but also had some dissatisfaction, feeling that he had ruined the Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps it was for this reason that at the beginning of this year, the Hongguang court changed Chongzhen's temple name to Yizong.
There is no perseverance in the posthumous law.
"Shuowen": "Yi means determination." "The Analects of Confucius Taibo": "Yi means strong and able to make decisions." "Zuo Zhuan·Xuan Gong 2nd Year": "Killing the enemy is the result, and the result is perseverance. ." "Guoyu·Chu Yuxia": "Forbearance violates justice, and perseverance is also a sign."
Yi is obviously much better than thinking.
When the Hongguang Dynasty established the temple, they paid tribute to Chongzhen and changed it to Yi when the temple was about to be destroyed. Maybe they looked down on Chongzhen at the beginning and felt that the country was ruined. When they themselves were about to be destroyed, they realized that Chongzhen was not easy and hurriedly changed the temple name.
Chongzhen was buried in the Qing Dynasty. His posthumous title was Emperor Duan, his temple was named Huaizong, and his mausoleum was named Siling.
However, soon the ministers of the former Ming Dynasty who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty submitted a memorial to the emperor of the previous generation, which was not a courtesy.
The meaning is that how can our Qing emperor proclaim the emperor of the previous Ming Dynasty? They are not our ancestors, so he went to Huaizong Temple and changed his posthumous title to Qin Tianshou Dao Min Yi Dun Feng Hong Wen Xiang Wu Ti Ren Zhi Xiao Zhuang Lie Min Emperor.
Ciren's short name is Huai, which is originally a posthumous title with a bit of sympathy.
But it doesn't sound good to change it to "Min Emperor". When the country is in trouble, it is called "Min" (when there are soldiers and bandits); when the people are injured, it is called "Min" (the people are harmed by harsh government and thieves); when the country is constantly worried, it is called "Min" (there is still a lot of mourning); when there is disaster, it is called "Min" (The country has no government and is prone to chaos).
Anyway, Emperor Min is similar to Emperor Shui, Emperor Ling, Empress, and Emperor Fei.
At this time, Shen Chenquan proposed to change the name of the temple to Chongzhen. He believed that the situation had improved and that Chongzhen was our great emperor and we should respect him.
After all, the relationship between Lu Jianguo and Emperor Chongzhen was relatively distant. They were both distant relatives separated by nine generations. People said that five generations apart would not count as a close relationship.
Not to mention eight or nine generations apart.
Changing the temple name to Chongzhen at this time was actually to increase the legitimacy of Zhu Yihai's supervision of the country and gain points for his future succession.
Orthodoxy and legal principles are sometimes worthless in troubled times, but sometimes they are very important.
What's more, Zhu Yihai is now on his northern expedition to Sanwu and is about to meet King Yiyang's men. At this time, legal orthodoxy becomes even more important.
"Please change the name of Liehuang Temple to Weizong!"
Being fierce with Congo is called Wei, being strong with strong fruits is called Wei, being strong and persevering with faith is called Wei.
The temple name is not a posthumous name, it has its own system, but it has its own good and bad aspects. Generally speaking, the ancestors have meritorious service and the sect is virtuous. The founder of the foundation is called Tai, the person with high merit is called Gao, and the sacrifices from generation to generation are called Shi, Zhongxing.
The person said Zhong.
In the Han Dynasty, only the most outstanding emperors would have temple names.
But after the Han Dynasty, no matter cats or dogs, as long as you become an emperor, you will have a temple title, even if you are the king of the country.
Even after the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the founding emperor claiming to be the ancestor, the subsequent emperors, no matter how good or bad they were, all claimed the title of clan.
The three deposed emperors, the mournful emperors, and the young emperors can not be counted.
Although the temple name Wei Zong is a beautiful posthumous title, its use in temple names is ordinary.
Zhu Yihai thought about it and felt that neither his thoughts nor his perseverance or his might or his ambitions were in line with Chongzhen, and the main emphasis was on his failure.
"Although the Lieutenant died for his country in Beijing, he still worked conscientiously during his seventeen years in office. I thought that his thoughts, perseverance, and power were not worthy of the Lieutenant. It would be better to use Suzong!"
Sizong emphasizes pathos, while Wei Zong is overly beautiful and obviously inconsistent with the facts.
In contrast, the temple name Suzong expresses the intention to revitalize the country but failed in the end. This is quite consistent with Chongzhen. After all, Chongzhen was considered the most diligent emperor in the Ming Dynasty. All the cabinet ministers paid fifty
There are several, that is the first one.
But his city of Beijing was first captured by the Dashun Army, and then occupied by the Qing Army. It is also true that the country was ruined, and he himself ended up hanging himself. Originally, Si Zong was quite suitable, but Liu Adou, who could not help him, was Si Zong.
Zong, after all, we still continue the Ming Dynasty, so it is not good to call Chongzhen like this.
"Emperor Su Zonglie!"
After thinking about it, Shen Chenquan felt that it was very good. Thinking about it, Chongzhen was indeed miserable. He hanged himself in Meishan. He was only thirty-three years old when he died, and he had been emperor for seventeen years.
As a result, the body lay under a crooked neck tree in Meishan for three days before it was discovered. Liu Zongmin sent people to drag the body outside Donghua Gate and lay it out for three more days before displaying it to the public.
In the end, it was Liu Yangzhen, the head of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, who buried the couple in the tomb of Concubine Tian.
The Qing army entered Beijing under the pretext of avenging Chongzhen in order to appease people's hearts. They specifically ordered Ming officials in front of Beijing to mourn Chongzhen for three days. However, if a memorial tablet was to be set up for sacrifice, there must be a posthumous title on the memorial tablet. Dorgon did not
Understand Chinese culture.
Emperor Zuo of the Ming Dynasty allowed Li Mingrui to give him the posthumous title of Emperor Duan, and the temple name was Huaizong, and Dorgon accepted it. He also led a group of nobles from the Eight Banners to cry several times in front of the Huaizong Duanhuang Emperor card.
Until later, traitors who surrendered reminded me, why did your new dynasty call the emperor of the previous dynasty his clan?
Isn’t this a mistake in recognizing one’s ancestors?
So he quickly changed it, calling him Emperor Min only, and giving him only a posthumous title but not a temple name. After all, the Ming Dynasty was dead, and there was no ancestral temple anywhere. It was impossible for the Qing Dynasty to still worship the old Zhu family.
Nowadays, under the leadership of Lu Jianguo, the Ming Dynasty is experiencing frequent successes, and ZTE is in sight. The Ming Dynasty will continue to maintain its orthodoxy and continue its inheritance. Si Zong is the temple name of the king who has perished. Since the Ming Dynasty has not died, Si Zong is certainly not suitable. Wei Zong is
Telling lies with open eyes, if Chongzhen was really so powerful, it would be impossible for him to hang himself.
Now Zhu Yihai gave him the title of Suzong. He not only recognized Chongzhen's diligence and hard work, but also sympathized with his feeble-minded failure of ZTE.
Think about the history of the Tang Dynasty after Suzong, the Tang Dynasty lasted for more than a hundred years, this Suzong is still good.
"Your Highness's choice of Suzong is more suitable than the one proposed by me. Please use the temple name of Suzong."
Zhu Yihai didn't care much about this kind of thing, "I would also like to ask Mr. Shen to write to Shaoxing about this matter and discuss it with all the ministers who are staying behind to make a decision."
Shen Chenquan nodded and said, "I think Hongguang is hunting in the north, so please give me your honor."
Giving Hong Guang a title does not mean that he cares about him more, but it actually means that the emperor has officially stepped aside.
"This matter should be discussed between Shen Qing and the cabinet ministers over there."
"I would like to take the honorable title of Emperor Sheng'an from afar!"
"You decide."
Hongguang is on his way to Beijing now. Although he is not dead yet, according to history, he can only live for one year at most. Next year, the Tatars will find an excuse to kill Hongguang and the vassal princes who surrendered. killed.
They are already in the past tense, whether it is Hongguang or Lu Jianguo.
In this world, we still have to rely on Lu Jianguo!
