Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 157 Bestowing Eighteen Kings

"Building captives to enter the pass, attacking the city and plundering the land, the massacre is miserable, and humanism is extinct. Yu Zhiguan has almost shed a word and tears. Some people can't bear the book and can't bear the book. However, the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Ming Dynasty, the temples, the servants, the servants, willing to die Ruyi, with his righteousness and loyalty, straight to the sun and stars and moving rivers and mountains, fortunately King Lu supervised the country, the territory was gradually restored, the two capitals were recovered, and the revival of Ming Dynasty was just around the corner.
Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to obtain righteousness, only when righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is the ultimate.

People with lofty ideals and benevolent people do not seek to live to harm benevolence, but kill themselves to achieve benevolence.

Today, I am entrusted with the imperial decree to record the martyrdom of my loyal soldiers and gentlemen in order to commend loyalty. "

Under the Qionglong Mountain, Zhu Yihai flipped through the first sample of the Fuxing Daily presented by the four sons of Fushe. The headline on the opening page was an excerpt of the martyrdom of the Ming Dynasty.This headline was appointed by Zhu Yihai and will be serialized.

From the year Zhu Yihai was born, that is, in the 46th year of Wanli, Tong Nurhachi officially declared his rebellion against the Ming Dynasty with the Seven Great Hatreds in Hetuala, recording 27 years of loyal civil and military sacrifices for the Ming Dynasty.

The first list of martyrs was submitted, including Sun Chengzong, Shi Kefa, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Zuo Maodi, Yuan Jixian, Ni Yuanlu, Li Banghua, Liu Ting, Cao Wenzhao, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Zhao Liaojiao, Man Gui, You Shiwei, Cai Maode , Xiong Tingbi, Mao Wenlong and other 18 people.

"Build the Temple of Loyalty and Justice, and please bring these martyrs for loyalty and righteousness into the temple to worship and sacrifice. List their names, verify their deeds, add posthumous titles and gifts, and benevolent to future generations." The first list of these 18 people was also determined by Zhu Yihai, among them Xiong Tingbi One with Mao Wenlong was executed by the court for being convicted of party struggle, and the other was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan.

However, the two made great contributions in resisting the captives in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yihait included them in the first batch of martyr list.

As for Sun Chengzong, Shi Kefa, etc., let alone.

The 76-year-old emperor Sun Chengzong became an official in his hometown. The Qing army invaded and led his family to defend the city. After the city was broken, he refused to surrender. He was tied to a horsetail and dragged to death by Dorgon's order. .

When Sun Chengzong died, he had five sons, six grandsons, two nephews and eight nephews.

Sun Chengzong's Liaodong strategy was controversial at the time. Zhu Yihai didn't go into right and wrong too much, but his loyalty is worthy of praise.

Especially now, it is even more necessary to praise these heroic deeds and set an example for the people of the world.

"Sun Chengzong and other 18 people, all posthumously presented the king's title, deserved to enjoy the Taimiao, set up a biography and added a posthumous posthumous title."

Huang Degong had been conferred the posthumous title of King of Jingnan by Zhu Yihai before, and now he has changed his posthumous title to Zhongwu.

Standing in front of Jian Guo, the four of Maoxiang were a little shocked when they heard the decree. It was too much to posthumously confer the king's title, enjoy the imperial temple, and posthumous posthumous titles, especially Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong, who were both convicted and killed by the court. Now not only overturn the case, but also posthumously give it back, how can I not be surprised.

"After looking for eighteen loyal people, each of them will be awarded a baron and recorded as an official."

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only the third-class title of Duke and Marquis was set up to reward the meritorious service of different surnames, and there was no son baron. However, Zhu Yihai proposed to add the second-class title of Zinan not long ago, and changed it to the fifth-class title to reward meritorious service and pass it on to his descendants. We are in solidarity with the country.

The first batch of 18 barons was actually awarded to the martyrs who died for their country.

Zhu Yihai granted titles to 18 people including Sun Chengzong, and also bestowed baron titles on their descendants, and published them on the front page of Fuxing Daily. Multiple people can learn.

Giving titles to Zheng Zhilong, Fang Anguo, Huang Binqing, etc., Zhu Yihai was reluctant to compromise for the time being, but he was very proactive in giving Sun Chengzong and others the title of king and baron for their descendants.

"I know that you are all well-known talents in the world. This Record of Loyalty and Justice of the Ming Dynasty should be compiled well. Not only must it be serialized in newspapers and periodicals, but it will also be compiled into a book and published in the future. Write it well."

After reviewing articles and newspapers, Zhu Yihai went to attend the military meeting of the imperial camp.

The military meeting of the imperial camp has actually become Zhu Yihai's temporary highest decision-making body, not only the combat deployment of the imperial camp and the Northern Expedition Army, but also discusses many other important military and state affairs.

Those who entered the military council were added with a title of handling military affairs or knowing the secret affairs. The military council of the imperial camp is not a formal organization, so the commonly known ministers of military affairs and secret ministers are not formal official positions, but the actual power is very powerful, which has been called The second court is actually the core power center of Ming Dynasty.

Taishao's cabinet ministers and ministers who are in the six cabinets are not as good as the real power here because they are far away from the prison country.

Xu Shiqi, Shen Quanchen, Chen Qianfu, Yu Dafu, Shen Wenzhong, Zhang Mingzhen, Yuan Zongdi and other military planes and privy secretaries all arrived.

"Your Highness, the false governor and standard soldiers captured by Qionglong Mountain, I think they should be killed." Zhang Mingzhen, the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang Admiral and the admiral of the infantry of the personal guards, came up and fired a cannon.

Zhu Yihai also thought about these prisoners for a long time.

He also wants to kill, but now is wartime, and people are precious resources, especially well-trained veterans.

"First take them to the labor camp and punish them for three months, let them practice food and endure the pain of flesh and blood, and at the same time give them good lessons, reform their minds, and let them know what loyalty is and what the country is. Wait for three months After the transformation is completed, they will be organized into each battalion according to their ability and ability, or they will serve as soldiers of the horse infantry and water army, or as auxiliary soldiers, or those with skills such as blacksmith and carpenter will enter the manufacturing battalions, etc. "

"The disabled are sent to the rear of eastern Zhejiang for resettlement. Those who refuse to accept the reform will be killed as soon as possible, or they will be sent directly to eastern Zhejiang to mine and farm."

It takes at least three years for a recruit to become a qualified cavalryman, and it takes a long time for an excellent sailor. Although Zhu Yihai has many soldiers now, he lacks well-trained soldiers, especially veterans with combat experience.

"Your Highness, these people are all Fubiao. They are usually fed by local thieves, and their hands are also covered with blood. It is difficult to reform. It is better to kill them all."

Zhu Yihai shook his head.

"Blindly killing doesn't do much. Besides, as we gradually become stronger, we will defeat and capture more enemies in the future. Should we kill them all?"

"It's only about punishing the culprit. As long as you are willing to repent, you still have to give a chance."

Killing the head of the evil can make an example, but if you kill them all, you will get nothing but a pile of corpses and stinky meat. There are more and more troops, and more and more resources will be needed in the future. Therefore, those who can serve as soldiers will not be able to serve as soldiers. Some of them went to be craftsmen, or went to mine and farm.

In the past, Zhu Yihai had few people and had no time and energy to arrange prisoners, but now he can consider these things.

"The local thieves still haven't been found." Yuan Zongdi reported to Zhu Yihai that the cavalry of Jinwu Town surrounded Suzhou City like a net. The national treasure has never been found.

Zhu Yihai had an indifferent attitude, "How many of Huang Fei's and Wu Zhikui's defeated soldiers and family members have you recruited?"

"Forty to fifty thousand people have been recruited, and many people have already run away. It is said that Huang Fei has already gone east along the river, preparing to enter the sea."

"Your Highness, what should we do with the members of the Second Department of Huang Wu?" Chen Qianfu asked.
