Chapter 134 The local official welcomes the drive
Zhu Youxiao stayed in the Iron Buddha Temple for nearly half a month before he started returning to Beijing. But until now, when he was about to order various reinforcements to retreat, several reinforcements had not reached their designated positions, such as Liu Zeqing from Dezhou and Liu Liangzuo from Yuncheng.
Zhu Youxiao knew what these people were in the future, and he could not expect these people to follow their orders, make quick progress, and fight bravely to kill Hu.
This is naturally the reason why Zhu Youxiao agreed to accept Huang Taiji's peace talks.
Moreover, in addition to fearing death, these reinforcements were also very corrupt. Judging from the statistics of the number of killings in this siege reported by reinforcements from various places, the number of killings by these reinforcements was as high as 5,000.
When Qin Botong received the property plundered by the Eight Banners, the news that the Eight Banners and Tatars were still more than 4,000 armored soldiers, and this time the Tartars brought only 5,000 armored soldiers.
The Imperial Guards have wiped out more than 1,000, and now reinforcements from all over the country have wiped out more than 5,000. Why do the Tartars still have more than 4,000 armored soldiers?
That can only be explained that most of the real Tartars killed by reinforcements from various places were not real Tartars, but the numbers collected by these reinforcements to seek reward silver for the people.
Zhu Youxiao could imagine that this time the battle with the Tartars increased the number of hatred against the Tartars, and also increased the number of disappointment with the Ming Dynasty.
These people are destroying their own ruling foundation. When Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he wanted to give these completely undisciplined military officers to the local verge of rectifying the Dharma.
This also further strengthened Zhu Youxiao's idea of going back to reorganize the army. When the Imperial Guards reached a certain scale, he would not mind killing a few generals to shock these warlords who were unscrupulous and ignoring the will of his own words not to disturb the people.
"Your Majesty, do you think this reward of silver is issued or not?" Liu Bin saw that Zhu Youxiao's face was not very good, so he asked carefully.
"These soldiers and bandits who killed good people and took great powers and wanted to reward silver. I didn't take their lives, which is already a gift to them! Did I know that I got a sum of money from the Tartars, so I came to ask for silver? Why wasn't I so active when I besieged the Tartars? You and Tang Fusheng took a team of Jinyiwei to the reinforcements of various battalions to conduct strict investigations. How many Tartars have these people killed!"
As Zhu Youxiao said that, he threw the booklet on the table, lifted the sedan chair from the dragon chariot and looked behind him, but saw Amin, who was ragged all over, was walking forward with his back like a boatman on the Yangtze River, barefoot, and walking forward step by step. His face was covered with mud, and the tail of the money rat behind his head was solidified into an antenna by a blood scab, which looked a bit like a baby in later generations.
At this time, the military police who was driving the dragon chariot suddenly accelerated the speed of the dragon chariot. Amin fell to the ground without paying attention. Before he could stand up, the chariot dragged him forward.
This may be cruel to Amin, but for those Ming people who were cruelly massacred by Amin, they were relatively limited in kindness.
Otherwise, the people on the roadside who came to see him automatically because His Majesty pulled a Tartar back to Beijing would not show any excitement. Some children even picked up stones and smashed them on the Tartar when the officers and soldiers were not paying attention.
There are only bad people and good people in the eyes of the child, but now it is obvious that Amin has become a bad person, not his emperor and his own guard officers and soldiers.
This made Zhu Youxiao very pleased, which showed that the people's hearts had not been completely lost. However, in order not to let Amin be killed by these refugees, he still asked the officers and soldiers to put Amin into the station cage.
It has been several months since he fought with the Tartars and met Huang Taiji. This is his first time to leave the capital. Although his footprints are limited to the capital, this is at least the first time he broke the barriers brought to him by the rule of civil servants. This is an effect that he could not imagine before. If it were in the past, I was afraid that as soon as he left Yongding Gate, some cabinets and six ministries and nine ministers knelt outside the city to stop him.
This is undoubtedly a direct manifestation of the improvement of his imperial power. Zhu Youxiao is confident that he can further enhance his imperial power in the future, at least like the chiefs of Daqingguo who were missed by countless robbers in later generations, he can go to Jiangnan and go to Rehe to escape the summer heat.
To be honest, Zhu Youxiao envied these chiefs, especially the one named Qianlong, who was the happiest emperor. Of course, the price he brought was naturally the decline of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years.
Until now, there are still negative effects of this guy castrated Han culture and suppressing Han people's popularity. The most affected are some famous places and historical sites, which left behind this person's "travel here".
Just when Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to make the Ming Dynasty truly prosperous and strong, and then as an emperor, he could enjoy a rich life, the sound of gongs and drums came from outside.
Zhu Youxiao came and saw that there were Ming Dynasty officials wearing red robes leading a group of officials and gentry to kneel outside the city gate, while on both sides were people dancing lions and gongs.
In addition, many people just knelt on the side of the road. However, when Zhu Youxiao looked carefully, he found that the people looked very good. Although they were wearing cloth clothes, they all wore cotton jackets on these cold spring days.
There are even fewer patches, and the fingers of these people are rarely black or calloused, and their faces are not as windy and frosty as they look.
The main road directly to the city gate was covered with loess and a red carpet was placed on it. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think, no wonder after entering the Shuntian Prefecture, the dragon chariot suddenly became much more stable.
Very good. Now these civil officials know to flatter themselves. Although Zhu Youxiao is going to look like a wise ruler on the surface and hates this hypocritical official with a stern face, he is also a little proud in his heart. At least, the current local officials are not like the city-guarding censor whom Emperor Zhengde met when he came out of seclusion. Not only did they not welcome the emperor, they also refused to open the door for the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao's Luanyi stopped, and he stepped on the back of a young eunuch who was accompanying him and got off the car. Tang Fusheng also took the military police and stood on both sides of the main road, turning around and facing him, holding the Xiuchun Knife with one hand and the Xiuchun Knife with the other, neatly and majestic suddenly became.
The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard also stopped. Chang Yanling shouted at the scene. Even the sound of his heels hitting each other, the formation was very scary.
"I have met my former Emperor Ming Emperor, Li Chunmao, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture of the Right Censorate of the Censorate, and Zhuo Wende, the magistrate of Daxing County, and have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
The official in front of him walked up and bowed to Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao just waved slightly: "Get up, let these people get up too."
Li Chunmao was the prefect of Shuntian in the seventh year of Tianqi, but after Zhu Youxiao recovered from serious illness, he suppressed the Donglin Party, and officials from the Li Chengliang system were also dismissed from their posts and returned home.
The reason is nothing else. He doesn't want these Liaodong officials to be the number one prefect in the world.
Since he had been dismissed from his post, Zhu Youxiao did not intend to pay attention to this big squire. Instead, he asked Zhuo Wende, the magistrate of Daxing County beside him, coldly: "You made these?"
