Soon, Zhu Jing'an led the team to the main entrance of the Forbidden City.

Looking at the plaque with the three characters "Great Qing Gate" hanging on the gate of the Forbidden City, Zhu Jing'an suddenly remembered something.

That is, on the original historical line, the Qing court was overthrown after the Revolution of 1911.

The Republic of China planned to change the name of the gate of the Forbidden City, changing the Qing Gate to the Zhonghua Gate.

In order to save time and effort, the staff did not redo a plaque, but simply planned to change the plaque of Daqing Gate and carve a Chinese Gate on the back of the plaque.

However, when the staff turned the plaque over, they discovered that they were not the first to think so.

Because, behind the Daqing Gate there are clearly written three characters, Da Ming Gate!

Well, this method was also used after the Manchus entered the customs.

Zhu Jing'an pondered for a while, and then gave instructions to the soldiers beside him.

"Order someone to take down the plaque on the Great Qing Gate and see what's on the back."

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately clasped their fists in response.

Soon, the plaque was taken down and carried to Zhu Jing'an.

When the plaque was turned over, Zhu Jing'an couldn't help but be speechless.

"It's really the Daming Gate!"

After speaking, Zhu Jing'an opened his mouth and gave instructions.

"Replace the plaque and face the Daming Gate outward."

"Haha, isn't it good to reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"

"Right!"

When several soldiers heard this, they immediately nodded to express their understanding.

Soon, the plaque was put back again.

Zhu Jing'an led the team through the gate and walked towards the Forbidden City.

Looking at the Manchu plaques that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, Zhu Jing'an said.

"Let people prepare to remove all the Chinese characters on those plaques. If they cannot be removed, replace them."

"We will also carry out de-Manchu rectification in the capital. We don't want to see any Manchu characters in the capital."

"clear?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jin immediately clasped his fists and said.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I understand!"

However, before Zhang Jin could leave, Zhu Jing'an seemed to have remembered something, changed his voice, and spoke.

"Wait a moment!"

"Those plaques do not need to be completely changed, some of them should be preserved."

"I want to leave these things to future generations, let them take a good look at them, and remember them firmly. This is the end of the world."

"It will also give some encouragement to future generations!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jin's expression froze, but he still clasped his fists and said.

"Subordinate to obey!"

Zhu Jing'an heard this, nodded slightly, and then continued walking towards the Forbidden City.

Passing through the doorway, there is an open square.

Zhu Jing'an led people all the way to the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He climbed up the steps and arrived in front of the main hall.

With both hands retreat towards the closed palace door!

With a creak, the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was pushed open.

A beam of sunlight shone from behind Zhu Jing'an, shining brightly into the hall, instantly dispelling the darkness in the hall.

The golden dragon chair became gleaming under the sunlight.

Directly above the dragon chair is the famous "Upright and Bright" plaque written by Kangxi himself.

Glancing at the plaque, Zhu Jing'an had to admit that Kang Mazi's calligraphy was pretty good.

Well, much better than him! Zhu Jing'an did not hesitate and walked towards the main hall.

Behind him, the Ming army generals followed closely.

Until now, some people still feel that what they see is unreal.

They actually conquered Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangnan and other places from the mountains and valleys of Guangxi, and even broke into the Forbidden City and built the Golden Palace!

After Zhu Jing'an entered the main hall, he walked towards the golden dragon chair.

Behind him, a general of the Ming Army cast expectant eyes on Zhu Jing'an, as if expecting him to sit on it.

However, to their disappointment, Zhu Jing'an did not sit on the dragon chair. Instead, he walked to the front of the dragon chair, then turned around, stood beside the dragon chair, faced everyone, and spoke.

"The capital is restored, and the unification of China is right before our eyes!"

"Everyone, please don't slack off!"

"Then I will write a letter about Nanjing and ask for rewards for the army!"

Seeing this, everyone bowed down together.

"Here!"

Does Zhu Jing'an want to be emperor now?

The answer is yes. The Nine-Five Master controls the life and death of tens of millions of people in the world, and his power is almost unlimited.

Which man can refuse the temptation of the throne?

But is Zhu Jing'an eager to become emperor?

the answer is negative.

He is not in a hurry, really not in a hurry!

He has a tacit understanding with his father. When the world is unified, Zhu Jianzhuo will prepare for the abdication of the throne and abdicate the throne to him.

Of course, this is not because Zhu Jing'an is anxious to ascend to power and force his father.

But Zhu Jianzhuo's health is not good, and he has been unable to hold on recently.

He was anxious to abdicate and recuperate.

So, then again, since he can inherit the throne, why should Zhu Jing'an rush to violate this taboo?

Anyway, the throne will be his sooner or later. It doesn't matter if it happens one day earlier or one day later.

……

After the Ming Dynasty actually took control of the capital, the first thing to do was to clear up public security in the capital.

All the city gates of the capital were sealed.

The second thing was to start liquidating the Eight Banners in the capital.

Zhu Jing'an's attitude was very clear. He would take revenge on the Han people after the Manchus entered the customs.

Land enclosure orders, house occupation orders, and escape laws all had to be formulated specifically for the bannermen.

For example, the flag fields inside and outside the imperial capital were classified as state-owned by the imperial court and were ready to be redistributed.

For another example, the bannermen inside and outside the capital were driven out of the city, and their houses were vacated to reward meritorious soldiers.

Another example would be to put the bannermen into a hard labor camp to atone for their sins, but if there are any escapees, they should be implicated.

In addition, there are variations of braid cutting orders.

Only when those bannermen complete the hard labor reform can they cut off the braids on the back of their heads. Then they can be relieved of their status as bannermen, have their household registrations reassigned, and live an ordinary life.

Zhu Jing'an was serious about liquidating his enemies.

He promised not to kill you after surrendering, but the liquidation does not necessarily require killing.

The reason why Zhu Jing'an wanted to carry out such a harsh liquidation of the bannermen was mainly for two reasons.

One is to avenge the crimes committed by the Eight Banners after they entered the customs.

The second is to reward the army.

In this battle, the Ming army launched the Northern Expedition with its army, navy, and cavalry, totaling less than 100,000 people.

After the war, these 100,000 troops and officers at all levels must be rewarded.

After all, as the saying goes, a woman is a mother if she has breasts!

If the Ming Dynasty cannot reward its soldiers and officials, why should they work for the Ming Dynasty?

So, having said that, if the Ming Dynasty did not move the Eight Banners, where would they get so much land and money to reward the army? (End of chapter)
