Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 404
But Lin Yi didn't just leave when he asked the class teacher to return to Beijing. He had to arrange the things inside.

He knows that the Northeast is a barren land, which is the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty. These frontier Yi people are best at tossing.

Although the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dorgon have been defeated, the Qing Dynasty exists in name only.But they are still there after all. These ethnic groups on horseback have always come and gone like the wind. Li Zicheng's remaining [-] riders can still make a comeback and bring down Emperor Chongzhen, let alone Dorgon and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. They have to be prevented from resurging and making a comeback.

Therefore, the Northeast must leave heavy troops to strengthen its rule.

Lin Yi left a total of 10 troops in the northeast with Shengjing as the center. General He Renlong was stationed in Shengjing, Gan Bao was stationed in Hetuala City, Jiang Xingyuan was stationed in Haicheng, and General Hao Yaoqi was stationed in Ningjin.

Now Hao Yaoqi's injury has also healed.Use Shengjing, Hetuala, Haicheng, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places as bases to strengthen military training and city defense.The military guards were extended to Baishan Heishui, and the castle was added.

In addition, the envoys who went to Moxi Mongolia came back and brought back great news. The Khan of Moxi Mongolia, Gushi Khan, and more than 20 leaders of various tribes of Uitla, jointly signed a table, willing to submit to Ming Dynasty, and pay tribute every year. .

This was something Ji Dong didn't expect. He thought that Moxi Mongolia might have to use some weapons before they would submit, because Moxi Mongolia is also very powerful. In terms of strength, they are not inferior to Monan Mongolia and Mobei. Mongolia.

In recent years, Moxi Mongolia, Monan Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia have fought against the Qing Dynasty for decades before they were gradually conquered by the Qing Dynasty. Western Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty only had a few dialogues, and the hostility did not end, let alone the Qing Dynasty's conquest of Moxi Mongolia.

Unexpectedly, Daming only sent one envoy to solve this big problem on the northwest border.

This means that Xinjiang and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were officially merged into the territory of Ming Dynasty.

What is dramatic is that it was also this year in history, that is, 1646, when the Gush Khan of Moxi Mongolia joined forces to pay tribute and accepted the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

Now Monan Mongolia, Mobei Mongolia and Moxi Mongolia have all surrendered to Ming Dynasty, which means that the whole Mongolia has accepted the rule of Ming Dynasty. This is rare in the history of Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Because when Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty, he did not conquer the Mongols, but only established a dynasty in the Central Plains and drove the Mongols out of the Great Wall. They are still an important threat to Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Ming called them Beiyuan, and Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in Nanjing and asked his fourth son Zhu Di to drive Beiyuan away.He once reached the area of ​​Beijing, which was called Yanjing at that time, so he named his son the King of Yan.

Zhu Di stayed in Beijing and didn't come back until Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness, because the prince Zhu Biao died a few years earlier than his father Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang never established a prince, but a grandson of the emperor, that is, Zhu Biao's The second son Zhu Yunwen is going to succeed him.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not do this perfectly, because he has no shortage of sons. Although the eldest son is gone, there are other sons. How can he let his grandson inherit the position of grandfather?It is against the tradition of the Han system that the son inherits his father's career, and his fourth son, King Yan, is all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and he has made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. But Zhu Yuanzhang made Zhu Biao's second son the emperor's grandson, which shows that Zhu Di has no part in inheriting the throne, and he himself is unfair to Zhu Di.

No wonder they were going to kill each other later. The uncle took the throne from his nephew. The root cause of the Jingnan incident was actually not unrelated to Zhu Yuanzhang.

King Yan raised troops to seize the throne from his nephew and moved the capital to Beijing to leave a good name for Emperor Yongle, the son of heaven guarding the country.

But their war with the Mongols has never stopped. There were big battles and small battles. The most serious one was the civil engineering change, Ming Yingzong was captured, and then until the rise of Jin at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of the Qing Dynasty gradually conquered Mongolia, Also conquered Ming.

From this point of view, the Mongols have always been one of Ming's main enemies.

Now this hostile state is over. With the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the whole Mongolia is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. This is an unprecedented happy event.

Immediately pass down the decree to let Gushi Khan and others continue to govern Moxi Mongolia. Just like the tribes of Monan Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia, they are still governed by their Hanwang tribe chiefs. As long as they are willing to pay tribute every year, It is enough to be a minister at the age of one.

However, Ji Dong had an account in mind, that is, after returning home, the cabinet must send Hanchens to these Mongolian tribes as officials through the Ministry of Officials to assist them in their governance.

Now that the affairs of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia have come to an end, after these matters have been properly arranged, Lin Yi brought a total of 8 troops including the standard battalion and the invincible battalion, including the guard battalion and the women's battalion, and returned to Beijing from Shengjing. .

When Lin Yi's army passed through Shanhaiguan, Ma Shiying and his son who were stationed at Shanhaiguan came down to the street to meet them.

Seeing that there are still more than 2 horses here, Shanhaiguan is the number one pass in the world, but now that Jinzhou and Shengjing are attached to the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty no longer exists, and there is no need to station heavy troops here.

Lin Yi left them thousands of troops to guard the pass, just for general defense. The main guard of the pass was still Ma Shiying, and the remaining 2 troops, including Ma Shiying's son Ma Luan, followed Lin Yi and drove back to Beijing to listen. use.

In this way, when Lin Yi returned to the pass, he would have an army of 10, mighty and mighty, coming to the capital.

The civil and military officials in the capital had been informed a long time ago, and when they heard of the triumphant return of Master Jian Guo, they all took action.The maids and eunuchs cleaned the palace spotlessly, and Zu Keyong led the Beijing camp to get busy. From the palace city to the imperial city, the guards were strict, the streets and alleys were filled with clean water, and the streets were filled with loess, and the yamen were decorated with lanterns and festoons.

On the day when Lin Yi entered Beijing, all the military, civil and military officials who greeted him lined up outside the city for ten miles, and the city was empty for thousands of people.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong still had a dull expression on his face. He was wearing a brand-new prince's uniform. Accompanied by the servants of the East Palace, he brought Gao Hongtu, Zu Keyong, Lu Daqi and other civil and military officials all the way to the outside of the city gate.

When he saw Ji Dong's horse's head, the attendant in the East Palace had to remind him that a smile appeared on the prince's face, and all civil and military officials fell to their knees to greet Lord Jian Guo.

Ji Dong let them live without courtesy, and then entered the capital like stars holding the moon.From the outer city to the inner city to the imperial city, there are all soldiers and officials from various yamen, fully armed and standing guard.

The ordinary people who watched the excitement could only be by the side of the road, some were on trees, some were on walls, some were on buildings, there were huge crowds of people, who wouldn't want to witness the majesty of this all-powerful Supervisor?

The ones walking in the front and the back are armored warriors of the Jinyiwei. They all wear angry horses and carry long knives on their shoulders.

The common people were dazzled, especially when they saw these beautiful female soldiers, not only they were dumbfounded.Women don't give in to men, and only Lin Yi can bring out such a team!
Ji Dong sat on the horse, walked forward slowly, and waved to them frequently.

But after entering the Imperial City and Miyagi, ordinary people can't feast their eyes on it, because these places are all places of size, and they can't just come here whenever they want.

One post at five steps, one post at ten steps, and strict security.Irrelevant idlers and others cannot even enter the city gate.

When I arrived at the palace where I had been away for a long time, I arrived at the Jinluan Hall, and all civil and military officials paid respects. The etiquette for meeting the emperor is similar, except that there is no shouting long live.

After Lin Yi entered Beijing, some of the 10 troops were stationed outside the city, and some were stationed inside the city. Naturally, someone arranged for it.The guard battalion and the women's battalion are of course in Miyagi, which is the Forbidden City, and this is his court guard.

Xiaoying and Zhezhe lived in the West Nuan Pavilion and the other lived in the East Nuan Pavilion. Su Moer and the other female battalion soldiers also lived in the palace. The maids and eunuchs had already vacated rooms for them.

A few days later, the cabinet, headed by Gao Hongtu, and the civil and military officials reported Lin Yi to some of the backlog of government and state affairs. According to the usual practice, the cabinet and the six ministries were still in charge. They copied the report and Lin Yi learned that some of the ministers Red batches of red batches.

A few days later, when everything stabilized, Lin Yi began to prepare for two things. The first was to order the Ministry of War to intensify the training of sailors, to build large warships, and to forge a first-class naval team.The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry must fully cooperate and give full support in terms of funds and technology.

One of them is that he wants to set up the Marine Corps, that is, the special forces. He has already prepared the candidates, and that is the women's battalion. He plans to coach it himself.

Because he knew that the coastline of the Ming Dynasty was so long, even without Zheng Zhilong's rebels, he was also vigorously developing the navy.What's more, Zheng Zhilong's rebels are so fierce now, not only to deal with Zheng Zhilong's men, but also to deal with the Dutch red-haired men entrenched in Taiwan.

This was planned in his heart long ago, and the plan was ready to come out.

The second is the top priority, the camel team must be re-established.Because to deal with Sun Kewang, Mu Tianbo, and the Burmese elephant army, ordinary troops would definitely not be able to do it. Along the way, Lin Yi thought that he had to use camel artillery to deal with them.

Now Gao Guiying and Li Yan are in a tight battle, so this is an urgent matter.

Lin Yi issued an order to immediately transfer Haicheng's camel artillery team to Beijing. These camels and camel artillery were captured by the Mongols during the battle against the Qing Dynasty, and they are now in use again.

It's just that this artillery team has to be repaired, and the Mongols should be trained. Now Mongolia has turned enemies into friends with Daming, so this matter is easy to handle, and only needs to be ordered by Lin Yi.

Soon King Shuo Lei of Chechen Khan of Mobei Mongolia received Lin Yi's order, and he did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent his general Min Min Mutter to Beijing to support Ming's war with a group of camels and camel guns.

In this way, Daming's camels were quickly established, with a total of 1000 camels and 1000 camel guns.

After a short period of training, it quickly became an army.At this time, the army rations were also ready, and it was the spring of the next year, that is, in March 1647. Lin Yi, who had only stayed in Beijing for half a year, planned to march into Sichuan again.
