Borrow the day to change the day

Next came the prison cart of Aixinjueluo-Amin. When the people of the capital saw it, they were extremely jealous, and the crowd immediately became agitated. Thanks to the soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi who tried their best to maintain order, it did not become out of hand.

Immediately following the prison vehicle was a long vehicle transporting the heads of Jianlu. More than 4000 heads of Jianlu were beheaded, an unprecedented number in Ming Dynasty.These Jianlu committed a lot of blood debts to the Han people inside and outside the pass, and finally got the retribution they deserved.

At the end of the line is the infantry to which the generals of the various lines belong, and this is arranged to take care of their toil.

Emperor Chongzhen first went to the Taimiao and Sheji Altar to offer sacrifices, and then was captured at the Meridian Gate Tower wearing ordinary clothes.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, princes and dukes stood at the Meridian Gate and witnessed this historical moment.

After the prisoner offering ceremony, Aixinjueluo-Amin was ordered to die.

The people in the capital had been waiting for the west market for a long time. The executioner cut a piece of meat, and the people paid for it, and the meat was sold raw.Open it up and take out the five internal organs, and sell it by an inch.People bought it and swallowed it raw with shochu, and the blood ran down their teeth and cheeks.

There is an old saying in China that when facing such a deep hatred of killing one's father and enemy, one would say that one would hate to eat his flesh and drink his blood.These words should now be applied to Amin.

The Han people have been influenced by Confucian benevolence for thousands of years. If they didn't hate it to the bone, they would not express it in such a barbaric way. [

Amin has killed countless Han people in his life, and he has received retribution.

Next, according to the usual practice, several yamen of the imperial court began to inspect and accept more than 4000 heads.Zhong Jinwei and Sun Chengzong were sent to Wenhua Hall to meet them.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhong Jinwei and Sun Chengzong entering the palace, he quickly ordered them to be given seats without gifts.He knew that some things were inconvenient to say in the memorial, so he summoned the two alone to ask about the specific battle.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei complemented each other and explained the battle of Gyeonggi in detail.

The war was far from smooth as advertised, and Jianlu was not so unbearable. The combination of various factors led to Jianlu's defeat.Even so, he still bit Ming Jun hard.

At the end, Sun Chengzong said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, after this battle, I feel that the reform of the military system is imperative, and the generals of all walks of life have faintly become local warlords."

Emperor Chongzhen also felt the same way. The military system of the Ming Dynasty was originally based on the guards in various places. They were combined with farming and training in peacetime. During wartime, they were assigned to the first-level generals of the general army to obey the command. In the end, they returned to various places, so there was no need for warlords to worry about.

But now that the Nine Frontiers have been placed under the jurisdiction of the general army for a long time, it is easy to form the general army's arbitrariness.Although there was a censor in the past, patrols and inspections were made from time to time, but they were mostly mere formalities, or they were directly bought, which could not effectively balance the power of the general army.

Emperor Chongzhen said to Sun Chengzong: "When the supervision system is implemented, the situation should be much better. Moreover, Master Zhong also mentioned the quartermaster system. I remember that Master Zhong will allocate a part of the Beijing camp to go first. right?"

Zhong Jinwei nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty. This quartermaster system is called a political commissar in the minister's hometown. It specializes in grasping the army's thinking, making it loyal to the monarch, and clearly serving the country and the people. Therefore, the commander-in-chief wants to privately control the army. impossible."

"Okay, Master Zhong, this matter must be implemented as soon as possible." Emperor Chongzhen urged.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be rushed. There is a lot of preparatory work to be done." Zhong Jinwei reminded Emperor Chongzhen, and then said: "But for the time being, other strategies can be used to divide the military power in the hands of the various generals."

"What strategy?" Emperor Chongzhen asked.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Sun Chengzong, saw him slightly chin, and turned his head to answer Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the result of the discussion between the minister and Lord Sun is that, taking advantage of this great victory, we will dispatch elite soldiers from all over the country to enrich the Beijing camp."

If the Beijing battalion is strong, the general soldiers in various places dare not make any changes. Emperor Chongzhen still had this common sense. He asked Zhong Jinwei: "How to enrich it?" [

"The Beijing camp is not only full of soldiers, but most of the soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the remaining soldiers are dragged to do various livelihoods. Since the incident related to the minister last time, it has been controlled by the palace military eunuchs. Jingying. The suggestion of the ministers is to weed out the old and weak in the current Jingying, and turn the strong soldiers into construction soldiers, and set up a construction corps to specialize in engineering. From the current point of view, it is road construction.” Zhong Jinwei replied.

This plan is Zhong Jinwei’s direct reference to future generations. Currently there are free refugees available, but once the war is over, most of the refugees will have to go back to rebuild their hometowns, and infrastructure will be built for a long time in the future, and manpower will always be in short supply.

Sun Chengzong heard Zhong Jinwei say this, and it was his turn to interject: "The Beijing camp follows the old practice and is divided into three battalions: the Five Army, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion. Usually, the Five Army is an infantry army, and the Three Thousand Battalion is a cavalry army. The battalion is in charge of firearms. This time, the elite infantry of the general soldiers from all over the country will be transferred to form a new fifth army. The infantry will be composed of low-level soldiers, and none of more than a hundred households will be used. And the previous organizational system will be disrupted and reorganized when forming. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded repeatedly when he heard this. In this way, not only did he immediately have an elite infantry army that could recover with a little training, but he could also distribute a part of the troops of the general soldiers in various places.He asked, "Master Sun, are there any other measures?"

Sun Chengzong nodded and replied: "All the families of the infantry of the five armies moved to Beijing to protect the loyalty of the infantry." After speaking, Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Chongzhen's mouth, and quickly added: "The temporary measures are as follows: That's it."

Emperor Chongzhen closed his mouth and went back, then changed his mouth and said: "Then there are still three thousand, how can the Shenji Camp be enriched?"

Sun Chengzong didn't answer right away, he looked at Zhong Jinwei, and signaled that Zhong Jinwei would speak, because the idea about the cavalry was proposed by Zhong Jinwei.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the cavalry is still related to the Mongolian Tartars. As for the Shenji Battalion, I think you can take it easy and wait until the two battalions are built first. Because in the future, the Shenji Battalion will rule the world. The Shenji camp can be built as a seed camp." Zhong Jinwei explained to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Oh, Master Zhong, you mean that the Three Thousand Battalion recruited Mongolian cavalry according to the old system?" Emperor Chongzhen asked a little doubtfully.

"No, Your Majesty, it is like this." Zhong Jinwei explained to Emperor Chongzhen about the bloody crimes of the Mongolian Tartars and the idea of ​​making them pay with blood.

According to the prior agreement with Zhong Jinwei, Sun Chengzong also made a statement agreeing with Zhong Jinwei's statement.

Emperor Chongzhen's reaction did not exceed Sun Chengzong's expectations, and he agreed without even thinking about it.

Under Sun Chengzong's desperation, he reminded Emperor Chongzhen that if he raided the Mongolian tribes, he must be prepared for political responses.

Emperor Chongzhen let out an "ah", and then looked at Sun Chengzong.

So, Sun Chengzong became a teacher again.Emperor Chongzhen asked, and he came to answer, until Emperor Chongzhen understood the series of effects before and after the surprise attack on Mongolia.

Emperor Chongzhen was just as Sun Chengzong expected, young and passionate, and he had a very yearning feeling for "those who dare to offend Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away", so domineering!

Now after hearing what Sun Chengzong said, he naturally had no objections, and immediately agreed.

However, this matter still involves the cabinet, the Ministry of War and other yamen, so it has to be discussed before it can be implemented.

After Zhong Jinwei saw that this matter had come to a conclusion, he said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, there is still an urgent matter that must be dealt with immediately."

"Oh, Master Zhong, what is the urgent matter?" Emperor Chongzhen originally planned to tell Zhong Jinwei about a few things about the capital, and let him deal with them as soon as possible.
