Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 402
After entering the city, Lin Yi seemed to be on a tour. He had seen enough of the mountains and rivers outside, and then went from the outer city to the inner city to the palace city and the imperial city. Everywhere he went, he was full of praise. The design, imitating the palace of the Han people, is so vivid, and it is completely different from the style of the Han people, showing innovation everywhere.

In particular, the imperial city and palace city of Shengjing City are magnificent, with unique architectural styles, red walls and large interiors, magnificent decorations, carved beams and painted buildings, birds and animals, dragons and tigers, and lifelike.

Every time Lin Yi visited the pavilions and palaces, he was very interested. Of course, Xiaoying and Zhezhe didn't know Lin Yi's mood at this time. As a traveler, Shengjing, which is also Shenyang in later generations, had been there before.

But as a tourist attraction, the Shenyang Forbidden City is completely different from the current Shengjing Imperial City.

Now the palace city and the imperial city have all been cleaned up, and it is now the office area and living area of ​​Lin Yi and the civil and military generals.

When Ji Dong saw the dragon bed in the imperial palace, the dragon chairs and every plant and tree in the Eight Treasures Golden Palace were all used by Nurhachi, Huang Taiji and Xiao Shunzhi. Lin Yi could even imagine in his mind that they stayed in the palace overnight and worshiped. Civil and military situations.

An idea even popped into Lin Yi's mind. Shengjing, Xijing, and Nanjing can all be used as accompanying capitals in the future, and he can even add a few more. Live in these places and go around, this is the real king of the world.

After taking it down to Shengjing, seeing the imperial palace, dragon bed and golden throne, Lin Yi really had the urge to ascend the throne.

But when I think about the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong still tossing fiercely in the southwest, and the rebels of the Zheng family group in the southern sea area have already hit the Yangtze River and occupied several provinces in the south, which is much more powerful than the Ming Dynasty.

Ji Dong dismissed this idea, and insisted on tidying them up one by one. There will be no wars in the territory of Ming Dynasty, and he will feel at ease when he ascends the throne and sits in the palace at that time.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dorgon returned to Hetuala with the remnants. This is only a few hundred miles away, so can we just let them go?According to the principle of eradicating evil and doing everything, since you don't want to surrender and become a vassal, you have to expel them!
Thinking of this, Lin Yi summoned Song Xiance to discuss the matter of entering the army...

Within three days of leaving Shengjing City, those old ministers and wealthy households in the Qing Dynasty who were unable to leave due to various reasons brought out their gold, silver, jewelry, silk, silk and satin, as well as precious medicinal materials, and sent them to the Ming army.

From now on, they will be the citizens of Ming Dynasty, and if they want to rely on these officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty to protect them, of course they have to show their favor with good things.

Now they don't talk about the money anymore, life and future are more important in comparison.

Of course, the soldiers and those civil and military generals dare not take it privately, because Lin Yi has strict military discipline, and Lin Yi's relatives will not recognize anyone who violates the military discipline. Back then, Zhang Hua, the captain of his guard, was almost beheaded because he molested a civilian girl. The father and daughter of the people who were molested came to Lin Yi to plead for mercy, and Lin Yi spared Zhang Hua. We all know this.

They came to Song Xiance, but Song Xiance didn't dare to make decisions on his own, whether to accept these gifts of gold, silver, jewelry and property?Finally arrived at Ji Dong's place.

Lin Yi laughed, and made an order. Of course, it has to be accepted. All of them will be put into the account and stored in the treasury. In the future, it will be used by the people and used by the people.If you don’t accept it, you will neglect the people, let them down, and make them uneasy, but remember, it must be voluntary, and no compulsion is allowed in it.

Song Xiance and others obediently passed on Lin Yi's oral instructions.

The reason why Lin Yi wanted to warn them in this way was because of the lessons he had learned from Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin. One of the important reasons why these two people failed to go to Beijing to rush for the exam was that they lost the support of the people by roasting officials to help them pay.

In addition, Ji Dong is not short of money now, but they voluntarily hand over some wealth to show their support for the new dynasty. This is allowed, and even encouragement and rewards can be given. Those who have committed crimes can be reduced. There is no latest Can credit.

In short, stability is the first priority.

The Qing army left and the Ming Dynasty came. There was originally a seismic change inside and outside the huge Shengjing, but now it has not caused the slightest shock. This smooth transition can be called an unprecedented spectacle in thousands of years.

A few days after Lin Yi's army entered Shengjing, Shengjing began to be bustling again. It was as if nothing had happened. Tens of thousands of ordinary people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The merchants opened their shops and hawkers. The traffic was busy and bustling, and everything resumed. normal.

Of course, Ji Dong didn't stay in the palace all the time these days. He also often wandered around the outer city and inner city, and sometimes put on ordinary people's clothes, like a private visit in a micro-clothes, and he was very satisfied with the result.

Shengjing City has been completely stabilized, and this thousand-year-old city has returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is of great significance.

Just two months after Lin Yi moved to Shengjing, in order to continue to drive away the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, Lin Yi asked his general He Renlong to lead the army to continue the expedition.

Now that He Ren's injury has been carefully adjusted by the military doctor, he has fully recovered. He rushed over from Haicheng to listen to him. Lin Yi happened to be short of a general here, so Lin Yi entrusted him with this task.

Lin Yi asked him to command 10 soldiers and horses, and Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan were his lieutenants. The 10 soldiers and horses included Lin Yi's musket battalion, invincible battalion and artillery battalion, as well as Mongolian soldiers and tens of thousands of North Korean soldiers.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, food and grass go first.General Wang Jian was asked to lead 5000 soldiers and horses to escort them with food and grass as the grain and grass transportation officer.

Wang Jianzai used to be Lin Yi's old squad leader. This is of course the Lin Yi before Lin Yi crossed over. After the frontier soldiers entered the guard, at the Sanchakou guard, Lin Yi was a big soldier at that time, and he was Lin Yi's banner leader.

Over the years following Lin Yi, Wang Jian has also grown rapidly, and now he has also changed from a junior officer to a general in the army.Courageous, resourceful and thoughtful, he is most suitable for the important task of pressing grain and transporting grass. He has completed this task several times, which can be said to be rich in experience.

During these two months, Lin Yi was also in the Shengjing area and prepared a batch of food for them.

Of course, the food and grass consumption of 10 horses is a big number.There are two main sources of this batch of military expenditures. One is donations from wealthy households of Qing Dynasty officials in Shengjing. In this regard, Lin Yi also received 10,000+ taels of silver.

The other comes from checking income.Not to mention earlier, from the founding of the Qing Dynasty in 1636 to the present, Shengjing has been the capital of the Qing Dynasty for 10 years. After so many years of savings, it can be said that it is very rich.

Which one of the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty is not a rich prince?There are so many sons of Dorgon, and each son has so many grandsons. These princes and beile sons, their residences are more than magnificent?Such as Daishan, Amin, Azige, Jierhalang, Duoduo, Sony, Aoboi, etc., as well as Fan Wencheng, Ning Kingdom Kong Youde and other famous hard-core big traitors, which one is not deep in the courtyard and resplendent?

Although some people are gone, their mansions are still there, and the gold, silver, treasures, silk and satin in their homes are piled up like mountains, and they can't be pulled away with a cart.Xiaozhuang and Dorgon did not take away too many valuable things, and of course they all used to confiscate them.

These gold and silver alone cost several million taels, and there are brocade clothes, jade food, silk and satin, precious medicinal materials and animal skins, etc., which are piled up like mountains and cannot be counted.

Ji Dong used part of these things as military supplies and rations for the 20 horses and horses, and the rest was used as rewards for the military generals and pensions for the dead and wounded soldiers, and part of it was used to relieve the poor.

After these two months of rest, Ji Dong is now well-equipped.After He Renlong left Shengjing with 10 men, there were still 8 troops left, including Lin Yi's standard battalion, guard battalion and women's battalion.

This 8 army is equivalent to his temporary Beijing camp, some of which are responsible for the defense of the outer city and the imperial city, some of which are responsible for maintaining law and order in the city, and some of which are mainly the women's battalion and the guard battalion, responsible for the inner palace.

In addition to Xiaoying and Zhezhe, who are in charge of Ji Yi's personal safety, there is also the first-class bodyguard Su Mo'er.

On this day, someone came to report that the North Korean envoy Toyotomi Hideo had arrived outside Shengjing.

This was the first foreign guest Lin Yi received after coming to Shengjing.

Lin Yi immediately asked Song Xiance to go out to meet the envoy from North Korea.

This is the second time that Hideo Toyotomi has come to meet Lin Yi. The first time he came to visit Lin Yi, he came by boat secretly. The group of them could be disguised as merchants.

But this time the difference was that it was upright. After a group of hundreds of people was brought in by Song Xiance, Lin Yi summoned him in Qianqing Palace.

Toyotomi Hideo knelt down to pay homage to the ceremony, expressing the congratulations of King Li Ji to Lin Yi, and then Lin Yi let him sit down, expressed his gratitude, and held a banquet for hospitality.

The table was quite sumptuous, and Lin Yi brought Xiaoying and Zhezhe to accompany him. Toyotomi Hideo was very grateful and flattered.

"My lord Jian Guo, please forgive me for being presumptuous. The Ming Dynasty is now waiting to be governed. The country cannot be without a king for a day. It is better to ask your lord to be enthroned in the grand ceremony as soon as possible. The hope of all people and the hope of all people are what my lord hopes."

"Hahaha," Lin Yi held the lamp in his hand and laughed, "Thank you for your envoy and Your Majesty's kindness. There will be such a day, but not now. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty exists in name only, my Ming Dynasty is still in war, and there are remnants of thieves in the Southwest. It has not been removed, and the southern border is not peaceful, and when these counter-judgments are settled, it will not be too late for the prison country to ascend the throne."

"Jian Guozhi is better than Honghu, thinking of the common people in the country, it is really a blessing of the Ming Dynasty, I admire it the most. Please."

"Please."……

Lin Yi and Toyotomi Hideo exchanged cups and talked loudly.

Toyotomi Hideo wandered around Shengjing for a few days, and then returned with a rewarding experience.

At this time, good news came from Hetuala City, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dorgon abandoned the city and fled again...
