Chapter 455 Worshiping Chongzhen with Tartar Heads (Please Subscribe!)

The common people in Huaxia are like this, they can be called the best common people in the world. What they want in their life is to live and work in peace and contentment, and to be safe and healthy.

As long as you have a bite to eat, you will not rebel, even if half of the rice needs to be mixed with grass roots, tree bark, chaff, and vegetable leaves.

Compared with Kang Mazi, who disliked the fact that the Han people ate too much and caused the famine, the Xinming Army is simply a great benevolent person!
No wonder they support Daming so much.

After this battle, the majority of northern people saw clearly the difference between the new Ming Dynasty and the Tartar Qing Dynasty.

The new Ming Dynasty is the new Ming Dynasty of the Han people, and the Tartar Qing is the Tartar Qing of the Manchurians.

With the support of the people around Xuzhou, the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two groups, marching westward along the Yellow River and going northward along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. They marched rapidly and entered the borders of Henan and Shandong respectively. The unification of the north is at hand!
Zhu Kezang watched the march of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army, and while he was overjoyed, he was very angry at the fact that the Qing Dynasty had dug the Yellow River.

"Jin Fu, you are really digging your own grave by waiting for the traitor to do such a thing of misery!" Zhu Kezang said angrily.

He was really angry. Zhu Kezang had heard of Jin Fu's virtuous name and planned to let him continue to serve as the governor of the river. He did not expect that this person would artificially burst the Yellow River for the sake of the already subjugated Taqing!

Committing such acts of anger and grievances completely made Taqing lose the hearts of the people.

Old eunuch Li also said indignantly: "Your Majesty is compassionate and merciful, and he is indeed the Lord of benevolence."

Zhu Kezang waved his hand, signaling to Lao Li to stop flattering, and said directly: "There will definitely be more disaster relief in the future. Hurry up and count the harvest of the restoration of Beizhili, so as to enrich the treasury and provide support for the follow-up disaster relief."

"Your Majesty, this is the trophy booklet compiled by Jin Yiwei!" Chen Weiguo had already prepared for it!

Since landing at Dagukou in Tianjin, they have marched westward along the Grand Canal and Baihe River, captured Tianjin Fucheng, and then captured Xianghe, Tongzhou, and Bali Bridge all the way until they occupied Shuntian City. A total of more than 3000 Qing soldiers were killed. , Captured [-] Qing soldiers.

More than 5 large and small cannons were seized, and nearly [-] shotguns and arquebus guns were seized. Nearly half of them were seized in various firearms manufacturing offices and warehouses of the Armed Forces Academy in the suburbs of Beijing, and the remaining half were seized directly from surrendered Qing soldiers. .

Of course, these weapons are so unreliable that Da Ming doesn't like them at all, so they can only temporarily seal them up. Will they be sent to local garrisons later, or will they be sent to Yingtianfu's arsenal for refitting, or they can simply be remade? , but it depends on the situation.

The trophies of these weapons made Zhu Kezang less interested.

What can make Zhu Kezang interested is all kinds of treasures in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Kezang took a quick glance, and there were everything from Gu Kaizhi's "Nv Shi Zhen Tu Zuan" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Wu Daozi's "Heavenly King Sending His Son" in the Tang Dynasty, and there were countless articles and paintings.

The most valuable thing is the one-meter-high pagoda found in a secret room. It is all made of a whole piece of natural red gold and inlaid with red, yellow, blue, green and black gemstones. Zhu Kezang saw it in the seized list , its preciousness is among the best.

Treasures on the same level as this pagoda, there are also eighteen luminous pearls the size of children's heads, and the radiant luminous pearl the size of a football that was expensive for Kangxi before.

The light of this luminous pearl was already very weak after the suspension, but Zhu Kezang was really taken aback and asked to sell it quickly!

As for the priceless emerald cabbage ornaments, emerald court beads, watermelon tourmalines, night pearls the size of goose eggs, etc., which are priceless in later generations, they are no longer ranked.
He didn't dare to look any further, he was a little worried about his little heart.

Although he knows that these things may not feel as valuable as later generations in this era, but they are already shocking wealth, because there are too many of them. According to Chen Weiguo, the list alone is rich The last ten books.

He just selected some typical ones, and copied a dozen of the most valuable ones on the list. In fact, there are more than 10,000+ pieces of various treasures seized?
As for gold and silver, there are more!

In fact, less than half of the treasures of the past dynasties in China are gathered in the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty.

And not only this place, but the princes and nobles in the capital and the imperial city and the officials of the Qing Dynasty fled one after another. Because they left in a hurry, and at that time they also hoped that the capital could be kept, many treasures were not taken away in time, and all of them were taken away by the Ming soldiers. seized.

Zhu Kezang didn't have the time to look at these treasures anymore, so he asked directly: "Old Chen, there are too many to see, so just give me a word and estimate the total value of these treasures?"

"Your Majesty, aren't you embarrassing this humble minister?"

Chen Weiguo had a headache, Zhu Kezang's question really overwhelmed him, and he really couldn't answer: "There are so many treasures, I finally understand that sentence, there are countless! These treasures, none of them It is priceless, but the quantity is so huge. My minister dares to say that even if it is calculated on the basis of 20 pieces, even if it is calculated on the basis of [-] silver dollars per piece, it is worth [-] billion silver dollars."

Zhu Kezang's eyes are straight!

He knew a lot and asked casually, but he never thought that it would be such a terrifying number!Moreover, this is Chen Weiguo's conservative estimate. In fact, it may be more than [-] pieces, and on average, the value is not only [-] silver dollars.

This number is really astonishing.

Of course, it is also clear that this cannot be counted in this way. If all these treasures are released outside, it will inevitably cause the collapse of the entire market, but no matter what, this is undoubtedly a huge fortune.

Fortunately, Kangxi kept saying that he was short of money because he refused to become a seller.

But I didn't expect that Daming would be cheaper in the end!

Zhu Kezang explained: "We must keep a close eye on these treasures, and we must not let one of them be lost. This is not my own, but the treasures of the entire empire and the entire China. In addition, let the people of the Jinyiwei keep a close eye on it, and not let the soldiers handle it alone. .”

"As for gold and silver, it is recommended to take out some to comfort the people affected by the disaster. Keep an eye on them, and don't let people touch the gold and silver for disaster relief!"

"By the way, cut a batch of prisoners for me, and scare those monsters!"

Chen Weiguo resigned with excitement.

At noon that day, more than a dozen princes and nobles including Beile Beizi, led by Gushan Beizi Aixinjueluo Zhangtai, together with more than ten Manchu and Qing ministers including Minister of Rites Nuomin, Nine Gates Admiral Fei Yanggu, and the Fan family The remnants of the family, the Shang family, and the Geng family were taken to the Caishikou execution ground outside Xuanwu Gate by Jin Yiwei with gongs and drums.

In addition, Zhu Kezang also went to Chongzhen's Siling to pay homage. This mass execution also wanted to use the blood of the Tartars to comfort the souls of Chongzhen.

As for Yue Le, Tao Sai, and Kong Sizhen, the three of them had to be dragged to Ying Tian Mansion Ling Chi.

Chen Weiguo, the governor of Jinyiwei South Town, stood beside the prison car and delivered a speech, announcing that these unrepentant Tartar traitors bullied men and women, and committed a heinous crime. He also emphasized that they were loyal to the Manchu Qing and refused to surrender to Ming Dynasty. In order to comfort Emperor Chongzhen, all of them were executed.

After hearing a few cannon shots, nearly a hundred famous swordsmen raised their swords and dropped their swords. Forty or so Qing princes, nobles, ministers, and second ministers were all beheaded, and their heads were hung on the Xuanwumen tower for public display. Rattail braids, just in case.

All of a sudden, the Han people in Northern Zhili rejoiced, and the captured bannermen trembled!
