Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 763 I am the tyrant

"This is inhumane!"

Zuo Guangxian scolded the emperor directly in the hall, and Chen Zilong also stood up to support him, "Please be merciful, Your Majesty, don't destroy the wisdom of the whole life, and become a tyrant who is cast aside by future generations!"

In the Hall of Martial Arts, incense curls from the copper furnace.

As the two ministers blatantly contradicted the emperor, the atmosphere in the hall also became solemn.

There are three more days until New Year's Eve.

Just three days ago, the left and right vanguards led by Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui attacked all the way to the city of Lanzhou. Milayin and Ding Guodong gathered [-] soldiers and horses here to defend to the death, and [-] reinforcements from Yarkand.Although Milayin intends to defend to the death with the strong city of Lanzhou, it is not only Hong Chengchou's [-] vanguards who come.

He Hongqi and Li Mingyi from Longnan also went to the city of Lanzhou along the Tao River.

The No.14 town reorganized in Ningxia also quickly went south. Ma De, the rebel general in Dingxi City, an important place in the east of Lanzhou, defected and led his troops to surrender to Zhu Dagang's army.

Wang Yongzhen, Wu Dading and others led the troops from northern Shaanxi to bypass Lanzhou and march along the Great Wall to Wuwei City, the prefecture of Liangzhou behind Lanzhou.

For a time, Lanzhou was surrounded by enemies.

Mila Yinding Guodong refused to hold on to the city, but it is a pity that all the soldiers and horses gathered together this time. Under the emperor's death order to seize Lanzhou years ago, all the ministries rushed to the city of Lanzhou regardless of the wind and snow.

Even cannons were transported on sleds and sledges.

The Ming army gathered artillery to bombard Lanzhou. Mi Layin personally led the cavalry out of the city, trying to destroy the Ming army artillery. As a result, Wu Sangui personally led the cavalry to intercept, and the two sides fought fiercely under the city.

The artillery of the Ming army bombarded Mi Layin violently. Mi Layin was hit by the shell and died on the spot. He lost half of his body.

That night, Ding Guodong abandoned the city to break through and escape, Hong Chengchou deliberately spared the net, and then pursued and killed him all the way.In the heavy snow, people from all walks of life competed for perseverance.

Ding Guodong fled from Lanzhou to Liangzhou. On the way, he heard that Liangzhou had been attacked by Zhu Dagang and Wang Yongzhen. Ding Guodong turned around and fled to Xining. Wu Sangui pursued him all the way.

Xu Yong even took the lead in chasing after him. Ding Guodong shot him in the right leg and injured his bones. He asked the soldiers to carry him with poles to chase him.

Although Ding Guodong has not yet caught up, Hong Chengchou has captured Lanzhou, Zhu Dagang has recovered Liangzhou, and Wu Sangui has also recovered Xining.

Ding Guodong escaped again, ran into the Qilian Mountains, and fled towards Ganzhou.

But for the court, as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrived, the rebels melted as quickly as snow meets the scorching sun.

Today's discussion is about how to deal with the aftermath.

This battle has been fought until now, but in just a few months, there have been hundreds of thousands of casualties in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and it has not subsided yet.

Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui's left and right vanguards slaughtered and looted everywhere, Wang Yongzhen, Wu Dading's Northern Shaanxi regiment, He Hongqi and Li Mingyi's Longnan Outer Town, etc., were also looting wantonly.

Many officials are impeaching these generals for killing innocent people, setting up troops to loot, killing good men and pretending to be meritorious.

There are also people impeaching the No.19 town stationed in Shaanxi for serious dereliction of duty.

Zuo Guangxian, the brother of Zuo Guangdou, the former Donglin boss, also stood up and directly bombarded the cabinet. He believed that the cabinet had seriously neglected its duties and made a mistake in reorganizing the Guanlong army, which led to the rebellion. It has led to the current Shaanxi-Gansu Rebellion, causing tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, and countless people displaced.

Zuo Guang first asked Wen Anzhi to take the blame and resign and accept the investigation.

His reason is that the Shaotian Dynasty now respects the Han and Tang systems, and the Tang and Song systems. Once the prime minister is impeached by the officials, no matter whether it is true or not, the prime minister must suspend himself from his post and wait for the investigation at home.

Zuo Guangxian is the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is the official of Taiwan and the two courts.

After Zhu Yihai re-established the Court of Remonstrance, he also reiterated that the two courts of Taijian are directly under the emperor, not under the leadership of the cabinet, and the officials of Taiwan's remonstrance are all selected and appointed by the emperor himself, and they even avoid relatives of the prime minister or the cabinet and six cabinet departments. The immediate family members are to ensure the fairness of the Taiwan Adviser's supervision of the six cabinet ministries and so on.

Zuo Guangdou is the boss of Donglin, and Zuo Guangxian is of course also from Donglin.

At this time, he seized the rebellion in Shaanxi, Gansu, attacked the cabinet, attacked Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, etc., very fierce.

But the emperor ignored his letter.

He directly confronted the emperor in the palace today, he must have the aura of being willing to cut himself to pieces, dare to pull the emperor off his horse, force Zhu Yihai to give up Wen Anzhi's position, and even change the previous policy.

Chen Zilong also followed suit. Chen Zilong had a good relationship with Zuo Guangxian before.In the Hongguang Dynasty, Zuo Guang was a patrol officer in Zhejiang, and Chen Zilong was his subordinate. The two of them were brothers from Donglin, and the other was from the Fushe tycoon. Naturally, they had a very good personal relationship.

The two tried to persuade the emperor in the hall but failed, and they even scolded the emperor for being a faint and tyrant angrily.

Zhu Yihai didn't look angry.

Chen Zilong was transferred to a temporary post before, and his performance was not bad. He did some practical things and returned to the court, but the result was still the same, which made him very disappointed, and he is acting like this now.

"The right deputy is the censor Zuo Guangxian, and the left secretary is admonishing Chen Zilong. You don't have to label me as a faint tyrant in such a hurry. Shaanxi and Gansu are in chaos. How do you think we should deal with it?"

"If what you say is reasonable, I will naturally accept it."

Zuo Guang first stood there with his neck straightened and said, "The Hui people are also my Chinese children. Although there are some immigrants from the Western Regions, but in the past 300 years since the Ming Dynasty, many Han people have believed in Islam, so the Hui people are only Han people who believe in Islam. Although they believe in Islam, they are no different from those who believe in Buddhism, and Hui people still speak Chinese and wear Chinese clothes, so they are by no means different.”

"Let's not beat them all to death with a single stick just because there are some rebellions among the Muslims. Aren't there a lot of bandits and rebels in the mainland?

As long as the spies are severely punished and the traitors are dealt with, they cannot be implicated indiscriminately. "

Zuo Guangxian believed that a policy of softness and appeasement should be adopted for the Hui people, especially after the current chaos, it is even more necessary to implement a benevolent government in Shaanxi and Gansu, to stop fighting and restore people's livelihood.

Tax cuts and tax reductions.

For local officials who discriminate against Hui people, and even Han-Hui struggles, the local government should be ordered to deal with it fairly, and those who falsely accuse Hui people should be severely punished as a warning, and conflicts should not be intensified, and the focus should be on conciliation and mediation.

Regarding the dispute between the new and old religions among the Muslims, he even suggested banning the new religion and maintaining the old religion, so as to reduce turmoil and disputes.

Zhu Yihai finished listening quietly.

"That's it?"

"When dealing with the affairs of Hui people, it is appropriate to guide them according to their temperament and customs, not to follow the rule of law in the mainland."

Zuo Guangxian actually proposed to give the Muslims extrajudicial power, allowing them to use religious customs to lynch and punish the ethnic group. As soon as this article came out, Zhu Yihai directly slapped the table.

"absurd!"

"Shaanxi and Gansu are the traditional Han lands of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of my Ming Dynasty. They are not the land of chieftains, nor are they places of detention outside the customs. You, the majestic right-hand deputy capital censor, actually said such absurd words. Huiren from Shaanxi and Gansu Use private law instead of Ming law?"

"Your Majesty, this is also for the sake of stability."

"Stupid stability!" Zhu Yihai swears directly in the hall in front of everyone.

"Chen Zilong, do you have such a stupid insight?"

Chen Zilong opposes the current policy against Huis, thinking that there will be no peace in Shaanxi, Gansu, and even other Huis in the inland areas where riots will inevitably occur. This has just driven the Manchus out of the customs, so is it going to force all the Huis back?
Is there still a peaceful day?

The emperor did this, but what is it not a tyrant?
"For the sake of stability, if the matter involves going back to the interior, if both parties are willing, it can be handled by the Muslim teachers in accordance with their customs, according to the usual practice of the village elders in handling civil disputes.

If any party is dissatisfied, they can appeal to the government office, and then the government will deal with it according to the laws of the court.Regardless of whether the Han people or the Hui people and the Miao people are already registered as Qimin, the court should love them. "

Zhu Yihai shook his head.

"You can be regarded as more knowledgeable and capable people in Donglin Fushe, and you are not just talkers, you have also experienced in many positions below, how can you say such naive words?

Why don't you take a look at the chaos in Shaanxi and Gansu now, Mila Yinfei wrote and posted, and millions of Muslims in Shaanxi and Gansu rebelled.
It's already gotten so serious, why are you still talking about naivety? "

"If I don't pull out this pustule today, then within a hundred years, the Northwest will be completely gone. Hexi was fought hard by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was saved by many Chinese emperors and generals. The Taizu sent troops back then. Hexi was recovered, and 50 people were relocated to garrison fields, just to defend this land."

"Do you want Zhen to surrender Hexi and Longyou, and even want Daming to completely lose the Western Regions?"

The emperor slammed the table again, very angry.

"Corpse Vegetarian Meal!"

Zhu Yihai pointed at Chen Zilong and Zuo Guangxian, and cursed, "You are sinners of the Han family!"

"My court can't tolerate stupid and arrogant guys like you. I ask Wen Shoufu to draw up an order. Zuo Guangxian and Chen Zilong committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. They will be dismissed from their official posts, deprived of their titles, stripped of their citizenship for the people, and ransacked their homes." Confiscate and distribute to Dunhuang."

Zhu Yihai directly convicts the two of them of the crime of deceiving the emperor, and there is no need for a trial by the third judge, and no evidence is required. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor appointed by the emperor. This is a crime that can be copied and beheaded all over the family and even implicate the nine clans.

Now the emperor's disposition is to cut the nationality for the people, confiscate the family and confiscate it, and send it to Dunhuang in the Western Region.The three generations of the lineage were all sent to Dunhuang, and their wives and concubines, parents, grandparents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, and grandchildren were exiled to Dunhuang together for the three generations of the lineage.

This is not only the most ruthless treatment, but it is also lenient.

Without killing a single person, they uprooted them.

Zhu Yihai didn't even spank their buttocks, "Take it down!"

The emperor was furious, and the hall was silent.

No one even interceded for them, and Wen Anzhi even wrote the imperial decree directly there.

Zuo Guang's beard trembled wildly, "Idiot Lord, Idiot Lord!"

"Don't tell me what you said!" Zhu Yihai retorted directly.

At that time, Zuo Guangxian's elder brother Zuo Guangdou was known as one of the six gentlemen of Donglin, and he was called the iron-faced censor. In the end, the party struggled to death in prison, the Zuo family was chased for stolen goods, 14 relatives were arrested, and the long history Zuo Guangji died in connection.Zuo Guangxian never thought that he would end up like this now.

Zhu Yihai glanced across the hall, and the faces of the courtiers were different.

The two scolded too much today, and the emperor was furious. Although some people sympathized with the two, they dare not directly intercede now.

What's more, those who can participate in today's court discussion are all important officials in purple robes. In fact, many of them are the emperor's confidantes. , not only because of the rebellion in Shanxi-Gansu, they were also aimed at the fact that the emperor wanted to move the world's gentry and gentry into Gyeonggi.

There are also many voices of opposition to this matter, but when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di were in power, they both moved a large number of rich and noble families to Nanjing, Fengyang, and Beijing, especially those noble and noble landlords under the former Chen Youliang rule in the south of the Yangtze River. ruthless.

This is a very normal thing, once the emperor and the courtiers, Huaixi's help can control the world, of course they want to attack the Jiangnan gang, and they will always be punished if they stand in the wrong team.

If Zhu Yihai wanted to move wealthy and powerful households into Gyeonggi, there were also many prerequisites. Only those who met the conditions would move, and those who met the conditions were basically those who had not stood by Zhu Yihai before. Factions are not the princes of the court. Everyone is happy to attack them, so that they can seize and divide up the benefits. If the old ones don't fall, how can they get up new ones.

The main reason why Zuo Guangxian and Chen Zilong stood up and fired their guns was that many of the rich and powerful noble families who were relocated this time belonged to the original Donglin Fushe. These people did not stand up well before, but now they want to There is no such thing as maintaining status and interests. They asked Zuo Guangxian, Chen Zilong and others to come forward.

The two really stood up for them, no matter whether it was because of relatives, friends, teachers and students, fellow students, etc., or because they received money or other things, in short, since they dare to interfere in this matter, they have offended the emperor. Taboo.

On this matter, Zhu Yihai, just like Hui Hui, has no room for compromise.

Originally, Chen Zilong and Zuo Guang were transferred first, and their performance was not bad. After doing some practical things, Zhu Yihai also reused them. He is the fourth in command of the Taiwan Institute and an important Taiwan admonisher.

Not only didn't the two cherish it, but they dared to shoot at the emperor, and even dared to openly scold the faint and tyrant.

In fact, Zhu Yihai doesn't care about scolding these people, but he can pretend to care, and then use this to convict them of deceiving the emperor, and directly send three generations of their direct line to the desert oasis of Dunhuang to farm.

Such a severe treatment is naturally a direct expression of attitude and bottom line, so as to avoid some officials being confused about the situation and repeatedly probing there.

He had given Chen Zilong two chances before, and this was the third time, so there was no next time.

He didn't kill them either, but directly declared them politically dead.

Not only were they exiled to Dunhuang for three generations, but it was also stipulated that they lived in Dunhuang for a long time and were not allowed to leave for life.

There, I used my remaining heat for the country, cultivated wasteland and guarded the frontier, and I really realized the seriousness of the rebellion in the Northwest.

In the Western Regions, they have been steadily cultivating wasteland and farming, farming, studying and inheriting their families. Maybe a hundred years later, they still cannot rise again, which can be regarded as giving them a chance.

As for how to deal with Huihui after the Shanxi-Gansu Hui chaos is settled, in fact, Zhu Yihai has already explained the truth to his confidant ministers.

You must first establish your prestige.

It must be completely subdued, and then slowly appease and deal with it. It is necessary to tear down all religious temples, remove all names of imams, teachers, masters, etc., ban religion and destroy temples, and move all returned eunuchs and landlords to Gyeonggi. Centralize them.

For other Huihui, they migrated to various places in the frontier to live together.

As long as religion is banned, religions and clans are separated, and various methods such as prohibiting intermarriage of the same kind, breaking up and relocating are adopted, especially encouraging the acceptance of Han customs, worshiping the sky and worshiping ancestors, learning Confucian culture, and levying a tithe tax on those who retain the old customs .

Using the methods used by the Dashi when it conquered foreign countries back then, and turning it against itself, how did the Arabs make the Green Sect expand rapidly, and now Da Ming can quickly ban it.

First of all, you have to fight, you have to completely defeat the sweeper before you can talk about the follow-up. As for the casualties and looting in the process, this is a painful process. When the Arabs moved eastward, they also conquered the Western Regions by force, and then forced the Western Regions by various means converts of all nations.

All for the Empire.

There is a natural conflict between the Chinese Confucian culture and the Green religion that originated in Arabia. When it is possible to resolve it, it must be resolved, and it cannot be left as a hidden danger later.Because of the entry of foreigners in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties obviously indulged Huihui, trying to use the contradiction between Hui and Han to weaken the Han nationality and strengthen their alien rule.

It was not until Qianlong later, when the rule of several dynasties entered the pass had been stabilized, and the Shaanxi-Gansu Huihui had grown to an uncontrollable level, that the Qianlong Dynasty turned to implement a severe crackdown policy, but it was already somewhat difficult to control, and finally In the wind and rain of the late Qing Dynasty, the Tongzhi Rebellion broke out. In ten years, a total of 2000 million people died, 200 million Han people in Shaanxi and Gansu were killed, and Han people in many places in Gansu were slaughtered.

And Huihui was also in this chaos, and 800 million people were killed by the Qing army and the Han regiment in revenge.

The imperial court mobilized countless troops, spent 4000 million taels of silver, and took ten years to quell the catastrophe. No matter for Han or Hui, this is a tragic loss for both sides.

For the late Qing Dynasty, this was a blow that made them worse.

After Jin entered the customs, countless cities were massacred. In this time and space, Zhu Yihai failed to stop the Yangzhou ten-day massacre and the Yangzhou massacre, but he prevented the Jiangyin massacre, the Jiading three massacres, and the Jiangnan massacre.

Now, he can't leave behind the big hidden danger of chaos, he must find a way to solve it first.

There are big abscesses growing in the skin and flesh, it is better to pick them early than later, the longer they are left, the more poisonous they will be. Now that the imperial camp can fight and the emperor has ambitions, it is better than in the future when all parties are tied up and unable to act.

If this wave is calmed down, it is not impossible to consider reforming Islam in the future, localizing it, and turning it into a relatively moderate sect like Buddhism and Taoism in the Han area, as long as it is not one of ethnicity and religion, and it is not the kind of extreme xenophobia , requiring intermarriage within the clan, and even the integration of religion, clan, and law, and not even giving people the right to choose freely. They have to believe at birth and cannot change it, but change it to be more gentle like others. It is to attract people to be good. If you restrict yourself, so what if you let go.

But the premise of all this is to have a thorough reform first.

It is only on the ruins of the old that it is possible to truly build a new life, otherwise it will never be able to jump out of that circle.

Faint king, tyrant, hum.

"So what if I'm just a tyrant?"

The emperor's words made the hearts of all the officials in the palace tremble!
