Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 352 Long live the enthronement of Xiaoling

Under the order of Yan Wogong, the Nanjing Qing army abandoned the defense of the outer city, abandoned the outer eighteen city gates, and retreated to the inner thirteen city gates.

The process went smoothly, and the Ming army did not take advantage of the situation to attack.

On that day, the Ming army took over the Eighteen Gates of Waiguo City.In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yihai led a large number of civil and military soldiers and soldiers from the imperial battalion to march along the Qinhuai River by boat.

Along the way, passing Dingzhun Gate, Qingliang Gate, Shicheng Gate, Sanshan Gate, Water Gate, Jubao Gate, Water Gate, Tongji Gate, Zhengyang Gate and other city gates, the Qing army on the city was very nervous, standing on the city wall, holding their breath and being cautious. He watched the Ming army pass by.

From the west of the city around the south of the city, until the Zhengyang gate in the south of the city, she boat landed and went to Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zhongshan.

Pass by the Shanchuan Altar and enter the sacrifice. This is the place where the Ming Dynasty worshiped the gods of Tai Sui, wind, cloud, thunder, rain, five mountains, five towns, four seas, Zhongshan, Tianshou Mountain, mountains and rivers in Gyeonggi, and the city gods of the city.

Then go to worship the Great Sacrificial Altar, where the heaven and the earth are worshiped together in the Ming Dynasty. All the worship activities to the heaven and the earth are held in the Temple of Heaven outside the Zhengyang Gate. This is a two-story circular building with nine steps on each side.

Since the fall of Nanjing for more than half a year, it is still well preserved.

Zhu Yihai led hundreds of officials to offer three sacrifices to the emperor and queen land.

During the sacrificial offering, Lord Yan Wo of the Zhengyang Gate specially invited Qian Qianyi to represent the Qing court, and also sent offerings.

After sacrificing to heaven and earth, continue northward to Chaoyang Gate.

Yan Wogong sent people to prepare a lot of wine and food in advance for the Ming army to eat, and sent a lot of livestock sacrifices.

"Your Highness, there are still 45 miles from the Chaoyang Gate to the northwestern imperial wall of Xiaoling through Xiaolingwei. There are more than 5000 troops guarding the tomb. .” Qian Qianyi, as the envoy to the north, accompanied him all the way.

"What about now?" Zhu Yihai asked.

Xiaoling Mausoleum is the joint burial mausoleum of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma. In the 15th year of Hongwu, Empress Ma passed away. She was buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum in September and was named Xiaoruan. The meaning of the world.

The entire Xiaoling Mausoleum was completed, using hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and it took more than [-] years to complete. The scale is grand and the architecture is legendary. It was built on Zhongshan outside Chaoyang Gate and surrounded by the outer city wall.

More than half of the seventy temples in the Southern Dynasties were surrounded by the Forbidden Garden of Xiaoling Mausoleum.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing has always been the root of the ancestors and is highly respected.There are three fixed sacrifices and five minor sacrifices every year. Whenever a major national event occurs, ministers of honor and relatives must be sent to sacrifice.

At that time, Zhu Di launched an army to Jingnan and captured Nanjing. Emperor Jianwen did not know where he was going.

Now, although the city of Nanjing has not yet been breached, the Qing army has been forced to retreat into the inner city and the outer city has been opened. It is also of great significance for Zhu Yihai to lead the army of the Northern Expedition and the imperial battalion to visit Xiaoling.

Because Jian Guo paid a visit to Xiaoling Mausoleum today, countless ministers have hurriedly written the persuasion form.

At the beginning, the king of Lu supervised the country, and he also spread it to the world, and even invited the vassals to be the king who entered Guanzhong first.

Today's Zhu Yihai no longer has any vassals who can threaten his status, but this time he actually went to the city of Nanjing and paid a visit to Xiaoling, all of which made people even more excited.

This has achieved an important achievement, and the accession to the throne is now a matter of course.

Even today when Qian Qianyi came to visit the Ming Tomb with Zhu Yihai as an envoy from the north, he secretly persuaded Zhu Yihai to come in.

It's the end of the year.

From the mid-May when Duoduo led his troops into Nanjing City, to the end of the year when Zhu Yihai visited the Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, it took only half a year. More than half a year ago, when Nanjing fell, almost all the Ming people in the world were in despair, pessimistically thinking that the Ming Dynasty was over.

Countless people surrendered and lived in seclusion, and many people died generously, hanging themselves, throwing themselves into water, and killing themselves.

Who would have thought that in just half a year, the situation in this world would have undergone such a huge change.

The king of Lu in eastern Zhejiang raised the flag of Ming Dynasty, overcame obstacles all the way, defeated the Tartars repeatedly, and restored half of the sky.The supervisors, emperors, marshals, generals, etc. of the suzerains who had been established by themselves or were supported by officials and generals, now basically all follow the edict of the Lu supervisor, abdicate and return to the vassal, and support the king of Lu together.

The [-] defenders of Xiaolingwei were gone, but now there was a more elite Northern Expedition imperial battalion.

Qian Qianyi was also very emotional, if he knew that King Lu of Taizhou in eastern Zhejiang was so powerful, he would never have opened the city with Zhao Zhilong to welcome the captives.

"Your Highness, my Qing Dynasty entered the customs under the banner of avenging Emperor Chongzhen. From Shanhaiguan to Beijing, then to Guanzhong, Huguang and Jiangxi, I have been chasing intruders and avenging Emperor Chongzhen. Later, I occupied Xu Huai and entered Nanjing. Going to Suzhou and Hangzhou, there is another inside story."

After the Qing army entered the customs, the situation in the country was not stable. Dorgon also listened to the suggestions of many Han officials, respecting the Ming and protecting the mausoleum, so as to win people's hearts.

For example, in May of last year, Feng Quan, a great scholar, was sent to offer sacrifices to Ming Taizu and the emperors.

After Duoduo entered Nanjing this year, he soon personally led officials and ministers of the Ming Dynasty to visit the Ming Tomb and ordered the monks of Linggu Temple to repair it.

Before leaving in July, two internal officials, chief and deputy, and forty mausoleum households were sent to guard the Ming Tomb.

"However, due to the shortage of food, many of the thousand-headed long-lived deer raised by Xiaoling in Zhongshan were poached by the Qing army in Jiangning."

Zhu Yihai nodded.

After all, Xiaoling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Taizu and his wife, and Tartars should also maintain it.

The chariots and horses walked slowly and came to Xiaoling.

At the foot of the mountain, in front of the long corridor, everyone got off their chariots and horses. Zhu Yihai walked along the corridor, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, all the way to the treasure city of Xiaoling Mausoleum.

Make another three offerings.

In addition to tens of thousands of civil and military officers and soldiers from the imperial camp, there were also nearly [-] fathers and villagers from around Jiangning who came to watch this scene from a distance.

Lu Jianguo went to Nanjing and visited Xiaoling personally.

This scene made everyone feel that Daming had come alive again.

Wherever Zhu Yihai went, the people knelt down, and they spontaneously helped tidy up the imperial mausoleum, cleared away the grass and dead trees, cleared away the fallen leaves, and offered the sacrifices they brought.

Zhu Yihai offered sacrifices of cattle, sheep and pigs, and sprinkled a pot of Shaoxing rice wine.

Kneel down, and then do three bows and nine kowtows.

In the end, Xu Shiqi, a university scholar, handed over a sacrificial oration to Zhu Yihai, and he personally recited it in front of Baocheng. Zhu Yihai, the eleventh king of Lu who is the grandson of the tenth ancestor, responded to the crisis and stood up to fight against the captives. In the past six months, he has contacted loyal people from all over the world, recruited brave soldiers, stabilized the southeast, and went north to attack the captives... ··
"The country is in peril, and the Zhu family still has loyal and filial sons and grandchildren holding the banner. The country collapses, and the world still has loyal people who die for the country. I have been supporting scholars for 300 years in the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless loyal people. Those who died in the country, there are more hot-blooded men who will join the army and fight against the captives in the Northern Expedition!"

Zhu Yihai also specially selected some lists of martyrs in Nanjing before Taizu Baocheng.

Gao Zhuo, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, died by suicide, and He Yingrui, Minister of Industry, hanged himself and died again. Zhang Jie, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, hanged himself with a Buddha banner at Jiming Temple. The left deputy Du Yushi hanged himself with his concubine. , guarding the household treasury alone, and beat Zhao Zhilong back with his fists.

The captive commander Duoduo summoned him after hearing about it, and Liu Chengzhi said with emotion that the country has supported scholars for 300 years, but none of them have been loyal to repay the evil of the court?But the inscription on the wall said, "Zhongshan's aura, so magnificent, belongs to the emperor's side. To keep this crown, he hanged himself to death."

Huang Duanbo, the head of the Ministry of Rites, surrendered to all the officials in Nanjing, but Duanbo refused to go, forced him, and wrote a letter to him saying that Huang Duanbo, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, was arrested by Duoduo to resist the unyielding. He was imprisoned for four months. The poem said, ask me where I live, and Daoshan is the dojo.The executioner swung the knife and slashed to the left, but Judas yelled, the executioner was frightened and his hands trembled, and he dropped the knife and walked away.Another executioner was changed, and he slashed to the right with a knife, but he did not die.

Duan Bo shouted sharply, my heart is immortal, my head cannot be broken, it can stab my heart.

The third executioner came up and stabbed his chest with a knife until he died, but he still stood unyielding.

There is also Xu Depu, a commoner in Rugao. On the day the Qing army entered Nanjing, he tattooed on his chest saying that he was worthy of the dynasty, and tattooed on his arm saying that he was born as a Ming man and died as a Ming ghost. He yelled at the Tartars and died.

There are hundreds of records of the martyrs who died in the Southern Capital, ranging from the Minister of Shangshu, down to the students, and even beggars.

The spirit of Emperor Taizu Gao can rest in peace. Despite internal and external troubles in the past 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, there are still people in the hearts of the people. Now the tenth generation Sun Yihai will hold high the banner of the sun and the moon of the Ming Dynasty, revitalize the Ming Dynasty, relieve the people from suffering, and restore peace to the world! "

·······
After the sacrificial rites were read, they were burned in front of the city.

More than [-] soldiers and civilians knelt and wept around Baochengling Mountain, and the sound spread for several miles.

University scholar Xu Shiqi knelt down and begged Jian Guo to ascend the throne.

All civil and military officials knelt down and begged to come in.

It is indeed very appropriate for Nanjing Xiaoling to succeed to the throne. Zhu Yihai established himself as a state supervisor at the time, and the situation was complicated at that time, but now it is expected by everyone, so there is no need to just call himself the state of supervision.

As early as he was in power, he also changed his name to rule the world and command the resistance against captives.

These days, the signs of persuasion are like snowflakes, and the generals of the imperial camp are also taking turns persuading them.

Standing in front of the lofty Xiaoling Baocheng, Zhu Yihai watched the countless soldiers and civilians kneeling and calling.

Looking at this scene, he finally nodded.

Because Zhu Yihai planned to use Nanjing as a bait and did not plan to enter the city for the time being, he simply planned to ascend the throne in Xiaoling.

Zhu Yihai also came here today from the Mountains and Rivers Altar and the Great Sacrificial Altar. At this time, the atmosphere is in place, and he is directly located on the Ming Tower above the square city of Xiaoling Mausoleum.

The edict said:

Our country is governed by Tian Hongzuo, Yishi Zichang, Baoda Dinggong, Chongxi and Lilian.Since Emperor Gaolong Fei laid the tripod, it has been a history of divination without boundaries!

My heir kept the vassal service and moved to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.All the ministers and the common people, push forward the order together, and follow each other on a trek, please correct your position.

Yu temporarily supervised the country, took care of all opportunities, commanded the imperial camp, and commanded the Northern Expedition.Stabilize the south and beat the Tartars.It is a tired letter to persuade him to enter, but he refuses to resign.

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, I would like to inform only the Tiandi Ancestral Temple that the emperor is located in Nandu.

Obscene and contemptuous, the artifact of Hertz.

Only the emperor of Daxing is wise and revives the past, builds the country with diligence and thrift, spends all his time in business, and hopes to achieve a smooth performance.Naihuangchi was robbed, Zhong Yu was shocked, Yan Ji swept the ground to cover the dust, and the dragon controlled the sky and went up to Zhi; the three spirits were angry together, and all surnames had the same hatred.I have won the victory of Liang Defu, leaving behind the bow and holding the pain; dare to resign from the exhaustion of salary and courage, and swear to capture the merits of the scorpion.Shang Lai's relatives and virtuous people work hard to help the enemy.

This year is still regarded as the first year of Shaotian, the beginning of reform with the people, and amnesty for the world.

Add one level of civil military officer, and those who have no ranks can be added, one level of honor, and a new title will be given.The governor, the supervisor, and the order are all ordered to see the officials.

To make up for the posthumous posthumous ministers of the former dynasty who have achieved meritorious deeds, ask the current cabinet ministers, officials of the Six Departments, dispatched and idlers, and return to their posts.

If the circumstances are justifiable below the third grade, interviews can be used at the discretion of the interview.

Those who live in exile from various feudal vassals will be resettled according to kindness.

Those who are more than [-] years old and virtuous will be given crowns, and those who are loyal and righteous martyrs will be given posthumous posthumous ancestral halls.

Juren, Fubang, Lingong, and Jiansheng must not be restrained to use the way of the virtuous.Those who have strange talents and abilities in the mountains, forests, grasses and marshes, who can change the times and prevent chaos, are recommended by the public;

The students of civil and military officials in Beizhi, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Liaodong who do not follow the bandits and are in the south will be promoted to employment by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Officials. The students will be sent to the Tianfu School Examination, and their Wubian will be verified by the Ministry. Pension.In the capital, the guards trap the thieves and the officials have those who can turn back to the right, and their previous crimes will be forgiven;

In the second year of Shaotian next year, the south of the Yangtze River will be exempted for one year, Beizhi, Shanxi, and Shaanxi will be exempted for five years, and Shandong, Henan, Huguang, and Huaiyang will be exempted for three years.

When the imperial edict arrives, the star will promulgate it quickly; those who hide the decorations will visit the Ming Dynasty and ask.

Yu play!Hongji was in a difficult situation, and he used Xuanjiu to conquer the government of the state;Awarded by Xin Huan, former Hui Yimao.

Announce it to the world, and the salty envoys will hear it.

Zhu Yihai changed into a gown crown dress, with twelve dragons and twelve chapter patterns on it, a twelve-bead Yuping Tian crown on his head, carrying the sun, the moon, and the stars on his shoulders.

"Long live!"

The accompanying bachelors took the lead in bowing down.

Countless civil servants and generals, as well as Xiaoling soldiers and civilians knelt down and worshiped Shanhu together.

"Long live!"

"Long live the Ming emperor, long live, long live!"

The sound of long live continued for a long time, and the soldiers and civilians were excited. At this moment, the whole Xiaoling Mausoleum became lively.

The dark clouds that had been hanging low also dispersed, and a golden light shone down.

The golden light shone on Zhu Yihai, the Emperor of Shaotian on the Ming Tower, and it was even more radiant and extremely dazzling, like a god-man.

Some people even looked at the light and shadow on the Ming Tower and called the Taizu to come.

Zhu Yihai's crown dress at this time is actually in the late Ming Dynasty. The dress with twelve dragons and twelve chapters on the large sleeves is very different from the crown on the portrait of Taizu's royal appearance, but Zhu Yihai is indeed different from Taizu. The imperial appearance of the emperor is very imaginable, especially after changing into the dragon robe at this time.

The 28-year-old Zhu Yihai, after more than half a year of fighting, his skin color has turned darker, and he even has a long beard, which is very similar to the middle-aged royal statue left by Taizu.

Even Qian Qianyi paid homage with his entourage and shouted long live.

Qian Qianyi knelt down on the ground with all his body cast down, tears flowed out uncontrollably. At this moment, he was crying loudly. He didn't know whether he was crying that he and Zhao Zhilong took the lead in opening Nanjing City half a year ago to welcome the Qing army into the city, or crying at this important moment. At that time, he was still wearing the Tartar official robe, and even had the Tartar money rat tail on his head.

At this crucial moment, this moment that will forever be recorded in the annals of history, Qian Qianyi is not a minister who persuades him to support him, but a minister of the Qing Dynasty.

He cried with grief and indignation, unable to control himself.

Zhu Yihai stood on Fangcheng Minglou, and was a little calm in his heart when he was shocked by the moment of Wushuang's excitement.

　Happy Lantern Festival
