Chapter 1540
In the original history, after the Jiashen national disaster and Emperor Xuanmeishan, such as Ni Yuanlu, hundreds of people died for the Ming Dynasty.
Or die in battle, or hang a beam, or throw a well, or self-immolate, often the family mourns, and their actions are sighing.
Their brilliance is in stark contrast to 'Itchy scalp' and 'The water is too cold'.
Many people may not know them, but their deeds should be remembered and recorded in history.
And this time, Ying Yi took the capital unscathed, detained the emperor, civil and military officials, and never damaged the commoners or killed the royal family. Faced with such a situation, mourners still mourned Great Ming, but in the end they did not go with the whole family. It's a good thing after all.
Tian Hongyu was instructed to appease the ministers. But in the following days, many civil and military officials committed suicide at their homes.
Here, Ying Yi can only sigh.
He couldn't tie them all up, that would be an insult to them. I also thought that if such a person can for me to use, it should be good, right?
But there is no action after all.
Only people put it in the coffin and record it. The news has never been blocked, and there are many people in the capital, commoners officials, who know about it.
When more than 100 people including Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai arrived in the capital, the number of those who left their books to be buried, ranging from Ni Yuanlu and other high-ranking officials of the six books, down to ordinary petty officials and patrolling officers, had reached 100,000. More than three hundred.
With the end of a glorious dynasty, they followed.
Standing on the stairs outside the Qianqing Palace, Ying Yi put his hands behind him and sighed.
Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai are here.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
The two led more than a hundred officials and officials up the stairs. As for the front, they bowed simultaneously.
Ying Yi flicked his sleeve: "Don't be too polite, go inside and talk."
Turn around to the hall.
Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai followed suit, slowly walking into this magnificent Qianqing Palace, overwhelmed by emotions for a while.
A year ago, one of them was the head of a county, and the other was just a trifling and a down-and-out scholar. Who would have expected to be in the Hall of the Son of Heaven today?
The north is established, Chongzhen abdicates, and the Great Ming has been declared dead in legal terms. The new dynasty will be like the scorching sun between the sea and the sky, and it will be gradually raised. As ministers from the dragon, their future can be foreseen.
The stalwart person in front of him will be the patriarch of this nation, ruling the Divine Province, mixing the world, and conquering the Quartet. And they, right here, at the top of the tower, call the wind and summon the rain!
The excitement in my heart is indescribable.
Zheng Yunzhi, Sun Xiucai, Liu Yiqian, and Zhao Huaizhun were listed in the hall, with red faces and excited spirits.
Behind them, more than 100 officials and officials were unable to control themselves.
Ying Yi climbed the steps, turned around and sat down on the stool beside the Dragon Throne, saying, "Everyone sit down."
"Thank you, Jun."
When everyone was seated, Ying Yicai said with a smile: "How is Henan now? Is there any news about the battle in the south?"
Zheng Yunzhi bowed slightly: "Your Majesty is concerned, everything is fine in Henan. After Junshang Junzhi arrived, this small official and Lord Sun quickly made arrangements, leaving Zheng Huai and Jiang Xi to oversee Henan, and then rushed to the capital."
Sun Xiucai said: "The war in the south went well. The war in Huguang has come to an end, Qin Liangyu has been defeated, and he has returned to Sichuan. The war in Zhongdu will also be settled, and many soldiers and horses of the Ming court along Jiangnan and the canal have died in the battle, and they will take the Zhongdu soon."
In Fengyang, the central capital, headed by Colonel Zhou Li, they encircled points for reinforcements, and the Ming court army came to destroy one wave after another. , all died outside Fengyang City.
And Xiangyang is even more unbearable - although there are good generals Qin Liangyu out of Sichuan, the white pole soldiers are also elite soldiers, but one is small, and the other depends on who they are compared with. He was soon defeated by Zhang Shi, and the remnants returned to Sichuan.
"So...the north of the Yangtze River is already under control." Ying Yi nodded lightly: "So what about Guanzhong?"
Zheng Yunzhi said: "Li Huan's general will follow you. The meaning is to deter Guanzhong and exterminate the bandits and bandits in Guanzhong. The influence spreads very fast, but it never occupies Guanzhong."
Ying Yi nodded.
The war on the southern front was the most recent in Henan, and naturally, it was the first to know. If the war is going well, it must be publicized to enhance the confidence of the commoners, so it has never been concealed, and there is nothing to conceal.
According to the current situation, Ying Yi has almost half of the country. Although the Huaihe River Basin, Huguang and other places have not yet established ruling institutions, the Ming court's influence has been wiped out, and he is only waiting for him to take over.
As for the north, Guanzhong has long been influential. Only Shan, northern Shaanxi, Datong to Ningxia and Gansu are still outside the influence. Of course, also Sichuan, Yunnan, and the surrounding Tibetan areas are still far behind.
The same goes for Jiangnan.
"The expansion is too fast, and the foundation can't keep up." Ying Yi shook the head faintly: "Take your time."
then said: "The north is set, but everything is going to happen. Abandoned and waiting to be revived. Trifling only one capital is a headache. Thank you for coming, otherwise this capital will have to be under military control for a few months."
said: "Yan Ermei has been building the capital in the past few days. The government framework has already started. Now that you have arrived, then take over the past, deal with the specific details, follow the example of Kaifeng, and follow the new law."
He added: "First clarify the population, household registration, Agriculture, business, taxation. As for education and education, it will be suspended for a while. The land of the capital is the elite of the previous dynasty. There are countless nobles and wealthy families who have left behind. They have captured their names, seized their privileges, reclaimed land, and so on. Those who should be ruthless must be ruthless, the army is here, whoever dares to stab, kill it."
Zheng Yunzhi, Sun Xiucai and the others heard it and immediately understood .
Zheng Yunzhi said: "Your Majesty, this capital is easy to handle in one place, but the entire northern prefectures are not easy to handle. The shortage of officials is the biggest problem."
Ying Yi Deeply convinced, he said: "If there is a problem, find a way to solve it. I have wiped out all the civil and military affairs of the Ming court. Although there are many dross, it also has several points of essence. Get rid of the dross and take the essence for use, and you should be able to filter out some capable People. This king will set the tone here—if it's more than 50 years old, don't use it."
Zheng Yunzhi and the others simultaneously nodded and said yes.
Ying Yi said again: "The capital of the capital is prosperous, and there are many scholars. There are also students from the Imperial College of Supreme Learning, who can also be selected and hired as appropriate. First, sort out the capital thoroughly, and in this process Observe the available people, if they have the ability, after the capital is completed, they will be dispatched to various places to serve as local officials."
"At the same time as the governing body is spread out, it will be spread out according to the new law at the same time. Policies. Focus on population and land first. Once the population and land issues have been resolved, everything will be easy to handle. The military will cooperate in the relevant aspects, and you can just let it go.”
Then A detailed discussion was also conducted on the structure of the ruling. At the time of Henan, there were the state shepherd's office and the imperial court's office, and their subordinate departments. However, Henan is small and the world is vast. Now that Ying Yi has become a king, the structure of this ruling institution must be further adjusted and improved.
It was discussed until the next morning before a rough determination was made.
In terms of the framework of the ruling institutions, the Great Ming Dynasty has almost reached the peak of the feudal dynasty. The main framework of the cabinet and the six ministries is already extremely perfect.
There are few things that can be changed, so Ying Yi and Zheng Yunzhi and the others discussed, on this basis, make some adjustments, and complete this framework under the premise of conforming to the development trend of the new dynasty.
