"Jianlu invaded the pass, attacked the city and plundered the land. The massacre was brutal and the human conscience was exterminated. Until this point, I almost cried every word. Some people could not bear to write but could not bear to write. However, the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Ming Dynasty, up and down the temples, were willing to die.
Ruyi, whose righteousness and loyalty are strong enough to raise the sun and stars, move the rivers and mountains. Fortunately, King Lu oversees the country. The territory is gradually restored, the two capitals are recovered, and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner.
Confucius said it is benevolence, and Mencius said it is to obtain righteousness. Only when the righteousness is exhausted, benevolence is supreme.
A man with lofty ideals and benevolence will not seek life to harm his benevolence, but will kill himself to fulfill his benevolence.
Today, I am entrusted with the imperial edict to record the martyrdom of our loyal soldiers and gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty, in recognition of their loyalty."
At the foot of Qionglong Mountain, Zhu Yihai was looking at the sample issue of the first issue of Fuxing News submitted by the Fourth Young Master of Fushe. The headline on the opening page was an excerpt of the Ming Dynasty’s Loyalty and Righteousness. This headline was designated by Zhu Yihai and will be serialized.
Starting from the year Zhu Yihai was born, which was the forty-sixth year of Wanli, Tong Nurhachi formally declared the Seven Great Hatreds to Heaven and rebelled against the Ming Dynasty in Hetuala, recording the loyal civil and military sacrifices for the Ming Dynasty in the past twenty-seven years.
The first list of martyrs was presented, including Sun Chengzong, Shi Kefa, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Zuo Maodi, Yuan Jixian, Ni Yuanlu, Li Banghua, Liu Ting, Cao Wenzhao, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Zhao Lijiao, Mangui, You Shiwei, Cai Maode
, Xiong Tingbi, Mao Wenlong and other eighteen people.
"Build the Loyalty Temple, invite those who died for loyalty and righteousness to the temple to offer sacrifices, list their names, verify their deeds, add posthumous titles and gifts, and be kind to future generations." The first list of these eighteen people was also appointed by Zhu Yihai, including the following:
One of Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong was executed by the court because of party disputes, and the other was executed by Yuan Chonghuan.
However, the two men had meritorious service in the Ming Dynasty's resistance against the Japanese invaders, and Zhu Yihait listed them among the first batch of martyrs.
Not to mention Sun Chengzong, Shi Kefa and others.
The seventy-six-year-old emperor Sun Chengzong became an official in his hometown. When the Qing army invaded, he led his whole family to defend the city. After the city was broken, he refused to surrender. Dorgon ordered him to be tied to a horse's tail and dragged to death. Sun Chengzong's strategy outside the customs also reversed the situation outside the customs.
Declining.
When Sun Chengzong died, he had five sons, six grandsons, two nephews and eight grandnephews. They died defending the city. After the city was defeated, more than 100 members of the Sun family died for the country.
Sun Chengzong's Liaodong strategy was very controversial at the time. Zhu Yihai did not delve too much into the rights and wrongs, but his family was loyal and worthy of praise.
Especially now, it is even more necessary to praise these loyal and heroic deeds and set an example for the world.
"Sun Chengzong and other eighteen people were all posthumously awarded royal titles, worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and establishing biographies and posthumous titles."
Huang Degong had already been posthumously named King of Jingnan by Zhu Yihai, and now his posthumous title was changed to Zhongwu.
The four Maoxiang people stood in front of the governor. They were all a little shocked when they heard this decree. They were given posthumous titles, worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple, and posthumous titles. This was too high. Especially Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong, who were both convicted and executed by the imperial court.
Now not only is the case reversed, but a gift is also given. How can we not be surprised?
"After looking for eighteen loyal men, each will be awarded a baronet and appointed as an official."
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were only third-class titles of Dukes, Marquises and Counts to reward those with different surnames, and there were no son-barons. However, Zhu Yihai recently proposed to add a second-class title of son-in-law and change it to a fifth-class title to reward meritorious service and pass it on to his descendants.
Be at peace with the country.
These first batch of eighteen barons were actually awarded to those who died for their country's loyalty.
Zhu Yihai conferred royal titles on Sun Chengzong and other eighteen people, and also conferred baron titles on their descendants, and published them on the front page of Fuxing News, in order to publicize to the world that the Ming Dynasty rewarded loyal people and also inspired them.
More people can learn.
When giving titles to people like Zheng Zhilong, Fang Anguo, and Huang Binqing, Zhu Yihai was reluctant to compromise because he had no choice but to give titles to Sun Chengzong and others, and to grant titles of barons to their descendants, Zhu Yihai was very proactive.
"I know that you are all famous talents in the world. This record of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty should be compiled carefully. It should not only be serialized in newspapers and periodicals, but also be collected into a volume and published in the future. Write it carefully."
After reviewing some articles and newspapers, Zhu Yihai went to attend the imperial military meeting.
The Imperial Camp Military Conference has actually become Zhu Yihai's temporary highest decision-making body. It not only discusses the operational deployment of the Imperial Camp and the Northern Expeditionary Army, but also discusses many other major military and state affairs.
Those who enter the Military Council are given the title of "Handling Military Affairs," or "Privy Council". The Royal Military Council is not a formal organization, so it is commonly known as the Minister of Military Affairs. The Privy Council is not a formal official position, but the actual power is very powerful. It has been called The Second Court was actually the core power center of the Ming Dynasty.
The ministers and ministers of Tai Shao who serve in the six cabinet departments are not as powerful as they are here because they are far away from the prison country.
Xu Shiqi, Shen Quanchen, Chen Qianfu, Yu Dafu, Shen Wenzhong, Zhang Mingzhen, Yuan Zongdi and other military aircraft and privy ministers all arrived.
"Your Highness, I think all the soldiers captured by the pseudo-governor and governor of Qionglong Mountain should be killed." Zhendong Bo Zhang Mingzhen, the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Admiral's Army and the bodyguard of the infantry, fired a cannon when he came up.
Zhu Yihai also thought about these prisoners for a long time.
He also wanted to kill, but this was wartime, and people were precious resources, especially well-trained veterans.
"First, send them to a labor camp and punish them for three months. Let them work hard and endure the physical pain. At the same time, we must give them a good class and reform their thinking so that they know what loyalty and justice are and what the country is. Wait for three months. Afterwards, those who have been transformed will be organized into each battalion according to their abilities, either as horse, infantry or navy soldiers, or as auxiliary soldiers, or those with skills such as blacksmiths, carpenters, etc., into each manufacturing battalion, etc."
"The disabled will be sent to the rear for resettlement in eastern Zhejiang. Those who refuse to accept the reform will be killed if necessary, or directly sent to mining and farming in eastern Zhejiang."
It takes at least three years for a new soldier to be trained into a qualified cavalryman, and it also takes a long time for an excellent sailor to become a good sailor. Although Zhu Yihai has many soldiers now, he lacks well-trained soldiers, especially veterans with combat experience.
"Your Highness, these people are all Fubiao. They are usually well fed by bandits, and their hands are stained with blood. It is difficult to reform them. It is better to just kill them all."
Zhu Yihai shook his head.
"Killing blindly won't do much. Besides, as we gradually become stronger, we will defeat and capture more enemies in the future. Should we kill them all?"
"Only punish the first culprits. As long as they are willing to repent, they must still be given a chance."
Killing the first criminal can serve as a warning to hundreds, but if you kill them all, you will get nothing but a pile of corpses and smelly meat. As the army grows more and more, more and more resources will be needed in the future, so those who can be soldiers should be soldiers, but those who cannot be soldiers Some of them went to work as craftsmen, or went to dig and farm fields, etc.
In the past, Zhu Yihai had a small number of people and did not have the time or energy to resettle the prisoners. Now he can consider this.
"The bandits still haven't been found." Yuan Zongdi reported to Zhu Yihai that the Jinwu Town cavalry swept around Suzhou City like a net. Although they found some fleeing Qing troops and more defeated troops of Huang and Wu, The national treasure was never found.
Zhu Yihai had an indifferent attitude, "How many Huang Fei, Wu Zhikui's defeated troops and family members have been gathered?"
"Forty to fifty thousand people have been gathered, and many others have fled far away. It is said that Huang Fei has gone east along the river and is preparing to enter the sea."
"Your Highness, what should we do with the people from the Huang and Wu tribes?" Chen Qianfu asked.
