Chapter 192: The important affairs of the country are in the army and in sacrifice
Yun Zhao knew that it was wrong for one person to monopolize power and control everything.
However, he always couldn't help but want to take control. He hoped that all the big and small things that happened in Lantian County would be under his control.
Those who hold great power can easily become tyrants.
It’s easy to become paranoid.
It is easy to get off to a bad start with killing.
Although physically destroying a person is the most effective way to solve a problem, it is also the most incompetent way.
Yun Zhao can still control his emotions and does not kill easily, nor does he feel the need to kill - this is a victory that needs to be maintained.
He has realized that he has a strong desire to control everything, so he has made some changes, such as allowing Han Lingshan, Qian Shaoshao, Xie Zhi, and Duan Guoren to enter his big study.
This seems to have little effect.
Although these people have entered the big study room and are working hard to deal with some things, it must be said that they are all very measured. Those who can argue will not give in an inch, and those who cannot argue will not say a word. Don't tell.
Unconsciously, Yun Zhao still made them feel the pressure everywhere.
Yun Zhao will feel very uncomfortable if these people are allowed to go further. Not letting these people go further, Yun Zhao was a little disappointed.
God knows where these contradictory feelings come from, they do exist.
When alone, Yun Zhao often asks himself, he is approaching the limit of his ability. If he continues like this, something will definitely go wrong.
However, the pride of a modern man makes him instinctively look down on the natives of the Ming Dynasty.
He told himself over and over again that other people's decisions were correct and wise, but he subconsciously hoped that these people would do things according to his thinking.
Today’s Lantian people are improving their lives with unprecedented courage.
They built bridges, built roads, opened mountains and leveled fields, and built a dilapidated Guanzhong into its current thriving appearance. This is an unprecedented change.
Yun Zhao cannot be greedy for God's merits and attribute all these achievements to himself.
However, he is still proud of it.
There are many things that make him proud, such as Gao Jie's army that has just returned.
Gao Jie's welcome ceremony can be held in prison, but the promotion ceremony of the soldiers cannot be done so hastily.
Everyone followed Yun Zhao to send the remains of the soldiers who died in the battle to the Tushan Memorial Hall for placement.
Dahonglu of Lantian County arranged the ceremony in an extremely solemn and solemn manner. Black flags and flags covered Bald Mountain, and the high-pitched voice of the ceremony officer made the deaths of the soldiers extremely great.
Three officers at the rank of commander were killed in the battle.
CenturionSixty-nine officers were killed in the battle.
Five hundred and thirty-one basic officers at the level of captain of ten were killed in battle.
Private, six thousand five hundred and thirty-three.
Folks, 1,287 people.
In just half a day, half of the wall of the originally empty auditorium was occupied by memorial tablets. The memorial tablets of each deceased person were only one inch wide, two inches long, and less than two minutes thick.
An altar of ashes, twenty silver coins, and a document.
This is all the soldiers gained after fighting to the death.
The ashes need to be sent back to his hometown for burial, the silver coins need to be distributed to relatives, and the documents need to be sent to the local chief. According to Lantian military law, if a soldier dies in battle, the property under his name will be tax-free for twenty years. His brother Children are given priority to enter Phoenix Mountain Camp.
Yunzhao, dressed in black and wearing a black crown, completed all the worship rituals meticulously under the guidance of Dahonglu Zhu Cunji.
Yun Zhao doesn’t like most old things that much, but he doesn’t tire of this set of etiquette.
The major affairs of the country are in the army and in sacrifice.
Han Lingshan, who serves as the guide of the heroic spirits, has been standing on the high platform for three full hours. He must chant the names of more than 8,000 heroic spirits one by one in a neutral and peaceful voice.
Similarly, Qian Shaoshao and Duan Guoren standing at the door of the Hall of Heroes need to open the door, hold their hands on their chests, look at the empty corridor with warm smiles on their faces, it seems that at this time At this moment, a long queue was passing in front of them and filing into the hall.
Yun Zhao was sitting in the main hall, looking forward, eyes slightly closed, with a standard long knife across his knees, welcoming his warriors home.
From the gate, you can directly see the snow peak of Yushan Mountain, and behind the snow peak of Yushan Mountain is the blue sky.
At this time, bells rang out on Jade Mountain. The loud sound from the newly cast copper bell weighing twelve thousand kilograms echoed in the valley, and then rolled away like thunder.
The scholars of Yushan Academy were dressed in white as snow. They were sitting densely on the playground, in the corridor, on the grass, on the ring, in the classroom, chanting in unison. Wen Tianxiang's legacy. "The heaven and earth have righteous energy, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds.
The rivers and mountains are below, and the sun and stars are above.
To people, it is said to be vast, and it is as abundant as the sky.
p>
The imperial road was the Qing Dynasty, and Hanhe Tu Mingting was the emperor.
At that time, I saw the pictures one by one. Fox pen.
In the Qin Dynasty, it was Zhang Liangzhi, and in the Han Dynasty, it was the head of General Yan, and it was the blood of Ji Shizhong.
It was the tongue of Zhang Suiyang. .
Perhaps for the Liaodong hat, clearing the ice and snow.
Perhaps for the example of being a teacher, making ghosts and gods cry heroically.
Or for crossing the river, swallowing Hu Jie generously. .
It may be that the thief's head is broken.
This is the majestic energy that lasts forever..."
The sound of reading aloud, mixed with the sound of bells, is like the sound of heaven.
A massive sacrifice completely eliminated the discordant voices in Gao Jie’s army. As a large number of officers were transferred away and new officers were added, the soldiers from Lantian City finally became whole. Heartily integrated into this new group.
The Military Affairs Department also promptly lifted the ban on Gao Jie's regiment staying at the Fenghuang Mountain Camp, allowing a thousand soldiers to leave the camp every day and take prepared carriages to Lantian County or Chang'an City for sightseeing. .
Lantian City on the grassland is almost a military city. Although the population is close to one million, these people are scattered across the vast Hetao. Lantian City is still not very lively.
The prosperous Chang'an City and Lantian County opened the eyes of these soldiers who came out of poverty and made them proud.
At the same time, these soldiers in black military uniforms also became a unique sight after lining up and walking through Chang'an Street Market.
Those meritorious people with gold-plated medals hanging on their chests can even attract applause from some women and throw away fruits.
As a result, some soldiers who did not bring out their medals felt very regretful.
Due to the academy's holiday, Zhu Yurao returned to the Lotus Pond residence. Just after taking a bath, she heard noises outside, so she opened the window and looked outside, only to see a group of neatly lined up people in black. The people were looking at the big carps in the lotus pond, led by a woman holding a flag and a paper trumpet.
The little woman’s voice came from afar: “The smallest fish here weighs more than a hundred kilograms, and among them this fish, which likes to eat from the hands of tourists, is the most popular.
p>Because it is the largest and most greedy when eating, people named it "Mangzi!" ”
The fish here are all ornamental fish. They used to belong to King Qin. Since King Qin abandoned the throne and became my Lantian Dahonglu, he voluntarily donated 70% of this lotus pond. These fish also It belongs to the people of Chang'an City."
"What a fat fish, maybe it weighs two hundred catties?"
A soldier who emphasized Shanxi tutted in admiration.
"There is not two hundred catties, only one hundred and sixty catties. However, the fish here are not for eating, but for viewing. If anyone eats the fish here, it is likely that he will He was beaten to death by a group of people in Chang'an, and his death was in vain."
Zhu Ya'ao shook her wet hair and said to Liang Ying who had just finished taking a bath: "What are the origins of these men in black?"< /p>
Liang Ying looked out and said: "The border troops who came back from Liaodong to repair."
"Are some border troops worthy of Lotus Pond sending tour guides?"
< p>Liang Ying said with a smile: "They are all meritorious officials. Look, several of them have golden medals hanging on their chests. These were obtained in exchange for the heads of slaves. It is naturally worthy of the Lotus Pond to send a special tour guide to receive them."< /p>"Kill the slaves?"
"Yes."
"My father also set a reward for the heads of slaves, and they would be rewarded with ten taels of silver. They can also take the heads to my father in exchange for silver and military merit."
Liang Ying said with a smile: "If His Majesty personally issued this silver, the soldiers would definitely flock to it. You must know that the pension for soldiers killed in battle is only twenty silver coins. If you have ten taels of silver, who would not want it?" "
Zhu Yuyao said in confusion: "Why does my father have to do it himself?"
Liang Ying sighed and said: "In this Ming Dynasty, His Majesty is the only one who can do it from the bottom of his heart. I hope the soldiers will kill more Jiannu, and only Your Majesty will give the money to the meritorious soldiers.
I will tell you something, don’t be angry. ”
Zhu Yu'ao shook her head and said: "You tell me, I'm not angry."
"In the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, someone beheaded two thousand Jiannu slaves on the fortress, including more than two hundred white-armored soldiers with armored foreheads. Zhen was also beheaded, and the soldiers at the border happily made Jiannu's heads into the capital to frighten Jiannu.
The military newspaper reported to the capital. Not only did these people not receive the reward, they were also reprimanded by the Ministry of War. He was scolded by the military supervisors, and in the end, the border general turned against the Minister of War and the eunuchs who monitored the military.
Two years later, he recaptured 80,000 people who were kidnapped by the slaves in Zhangjiakou. It was obviously a credit to him. , became a crime, and was executed by Ling Chi at Caishikou in the capital."
"How could this happen? My father is a wise king, so he wouldn't do it."
< p>Liang Ying wrapped Zhu Yuyao's wet hair with a towel and wiped it while saying: "Your Majesty is indeed a wise king, but he heard ministers tell him that this person had no command, which led to the invasion of slaves into Shandong and the loss of the court. The tragedy was that the people were displaced, all because of the general’s fault.“Impossible, who was this person killed?”
"The then Governor of Datong Prefecture, Lu Xiangsheng."
"Ah? Really?"
Liang Ying patted Zhu Ailao's thin back and said: "In Yushan Academy There are all the records about Lu Xiangsheng. Go and read them when you have time. The records there are all true."
Zhu Yuyao lowered her head and said: "Did my father really kill a good person by mistake?"
p>Liang Yingdao: "Actually, there is nothing right or wrong. Since you are an official, you must be prepared to be killed. Anyway, in the court, one group of people fights another group of people, and the winner is glory and wealth. If we lose, we can just go to Caishikou."
Zhu Ya'ao sighed and said, "It must be true. My father is very afraid of the troops coming from outside the capital, but he is not afraid of them here in Lantian County. A group of people were led by a little woman, and they were all so obedient."
