Chapter 125: Zen Position
After a short time, a series of roars suddenly sounded between the whole heaven and earth, and a stream of gunpowder smoke rose outside the city, and in a blink of an eye, bricks and stones began to fly on the city wall of Shenyang, and at the same time, the Jiannu who defended the city finally fired their cannons, dozens of Hongyi cannons left behind at the end, as well as hundreds of old artillery pieces of various types, also began to sound at this time.
Heaven and earth seemed to tremble in the midst of this rumbling and earth-shattering cannon......
On the tenth day of October, the Shengjing Shenyang City of Jiannu was declared broken, a large number of Yujia troops and Guanning troops flocked into the city, and the Jiannu chieftain Taiji personally raised his knife in the palace city and attacked the Yujia soldiers who attacked the palace in a fierce battle, and finally suffered more than 30 places, and died on the steps.
There is almost nothing worth writing about the entire siege war, and almost all of them are carried out gradually according to the standard siege of the Yu family's army, first of all, three consecutive days of artillery preparation, knocking out the living forces of a large number of Jiannu in the city and the firepower of the counterattack one by one, and then began to organize infantry and sappers to attack the city.
After the city wall was lost, the remnants of the Jiannu soldiers would retreat into the city, and continue to fight with the Yu family army or the Guanning army who attacked the city, which can be said to have fought to the last soldier, basically no one surrendered, and in the entire Shenyang city, the shouting and killing continued for two days, and then gradually calmed down.
When the Yu family army counted the remnants of the banner people in the city afterwards, in the entire Shengjing City, only less than 2,000 banner people were still alive, and the rest of the banner people were basically martyred in the city, which was also the only time the Yu family army had done in the history of the city to slaughter the city.
After arranging things outside the customs, Yu Xiaotian set off from Shenyang City at the end of November to return to the Guannei, and at the same time carried the body of the frozen slave chief Taiji, and returned to the Guannei with him.
Since then, the name of Shengjing has also been abolished, and the name of Shenyang City has been restored, and a large number of Jiannu bannermen, as prisoners, have also been brought into the Guannei, and according to Yu Xiaotian's orders, they will be completely disrupted and resettled in various parts of the Guannai, and they will not be allowed to live together, and they will be handed over to the local government for management.
This can be regarded as finally satisfying one of the great wishes of Jiannu, so that they finally entered the Guannai and settled in various parts of the Central Plains, but it was just a different way, and since then, the Manchus as a nation, finally integrated into the Chinese nation after hundreds of years, and completely disappeared in the long river of history.
For this period of history, people of later generations can only learn through the documents that have survived before Guò that there was such a powerful alien force outside the Liaodong Pass, and established a country that once made the Ming Dynasty tremble, the Great Qing State.
From some documents, later generations learned that this Manchurian banner man who once existed in Zài had caused unparalleled disasters to the Han people in Guannai and Liaodong, and even threatened the capital of the Ming Dynasty many times, which made later generations almost unimaginable.
It wasn't until two or three hundred years later that some people from the Central Plains proposed that they were the descendants of the Manchurian bannermen of the Qing Dynasty, and turned out some so-called genealogies to prove their identity, but this kind of root-seeking and ancestral matter was not recognized by many people, but it caused a lot of scolding.
At the end of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Yu Xiaotian finally returned to the capital, from his exit to the destruction of Houjin, it only took three or four months in total, once in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the huge and incomparable and even fierce Houjin Jiannu was wiped out in front of the soldiers of the family army, and never existed in the world again.
The entire Liaodong was also immediately recovered, and returned to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty, including the Mongolian tribes outside the Guan, also sent people into Beijing, voted for the Shun table, and vowed that they would never be enemies of the Ming Dynasty again, and were willing to be the obedient people of the Ming Dynasty forever, hoping that the Ming court would not be guilty of the past and forgive them for their previous sins.
In this regard, Yu Xiaotian said that he could accept their obedience, and canonized some of the tribal leaders, ordering them to temporarily exercise the right to manage the Mongolian tribes on behalf of the Ming Dynasty in the grassland outside the Guan, and to ask the imperial court for something, and every year each ministry must sacrifice war horses, cattle and sheep to the imperial court as a tribute.
The imperial court also specially allowed the reopening of the mutual market in the Zhangjiakou area, and allowed the Mongolian tribes to trade in the mutual market, and exchanged their cattle, sheep, mules, horses, and various skins for tea, salt, cloth and other goods produced in the Guannei, but for the export of iron tools, a fairly strict control system was still adopted.
In addition, the Mongolian cavalry who joined the cavalry of the Yujia army this time also received quite rich rewards, and they also gave rich rewards to the tribes they belonged to.
After carefully tasting Yu Xiaotian's practices, the discerning person found that Yu Xiaotian's actions did not really bring any peace to the Mongolian tribes, and the objects of his canonization were basically among the Mongolian tribes, and they were not very powerful tribes, but some of the stronger tribes were not canonized.
In this way, in the future, these Mongolian tribes will definitely conflict with each other because of the issue of interests, and if they want to pinch them together again, I am afraid that even if there is another Genghis Khan, it will be difficult to do this.
When Yu Xiaotian returned to Beijing after victory, the civil and military officials of Beijing all went out of Yongding Gate to welcome Yu Xiaotian's return to the court outside Yongding Gate, and now the saint Chongzhen also personally took the imperial chariot to Yongding Gate to welcome Yu Xiaotian's return, the high specification can be said to be unprecedented in the history of the Ming Dynasty, of course, there must be no one after him.
After Yu Xiaotian returned to the army, the corpses of the slave chieftain Emperor Taiji and many captured and killed Jiannu chieftains were hung outside the city gates for the people of the world to visit, so that the people in far away places heard the news and rushed to the outside of the Jingshi City to take a look at these slave chieftains who had caused great disasters to the people of Guannei and Liaodong for so many years.
Many people picked up stones and bricks to throw the corpses of these slave chiefs, and it didn't take long for the corpses of these slave chiefs to be beaten beyond recognition, although it is now in the harsh winter season, these corpses are frozen hard, but they can't stand such destruction, and they can't see the human form until the New Year, Yu Xiaotian had to order the corpses of these slave chiefs to be buried, and they found a place to bury them, so that people in later generations want to verify the burial place of the Qing Emperor of the year, and there is no way to verify it.
As for the mausoleum of the wild boar skin outside the Guan, in the battle of attacking Shenyang City, the mausoleum was also demolished by the Guanning army, and the bricks and stones used in the mausoleum were transported to the city of Shenyang to fill the moat outside the city, so that only one site survived in later generations.
However, on the tenth day after Xiaotian returned to Beijing, Emperor Zhu Youzhen, the current saint of the Ming Dynasty, personally issued a holy decree, which suddenly shook the world again, and almost everyone was in an uproar!
Because Chongzhen announced to the world, it is a guilty edict, in the edict since Chen succeeded to the throne since some of his mistakes, indicating that with his ability, no virtue and incompetence to continue to be the Ming Emperor, announced to the world, will be in the 26th day of the lunar month, in the palace Zen in the current prison of Yu Xiaotian, thus ending the Zhu family Ming Dynasty rule of the world for more than 200 years.
As soon as this edict was issued, it set off a stormy wave in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was founded for more than 200 years, and there were quite a large number of scholars and even ordinary people, who had already imperceptibly formed a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and also spontaneously formed a kind of loyalty to the great future of the Zhu family.
Among them, there are definitely some people with upright temperament, who can also be said to be good people, and of course there are many people who have benefited from various preferential measures of the Ming Dynasty.
Especially for the Ming Dynasty and many gentry who have benefited from the Ming Dynasty, although now after Xiaotian ascended the throne, many of these gentry and gentry have been banned preferential policies, but in the eyes of this group of people, the Ming Dynasty still treats them with kindness, and the fault lies in Xiaotian.
Now Emperor Chongzhen announced his abdication, to give the Zen position to Yu Xiaotian, how can people accept it lightly, although everyone understood that this Ming Dynasty was usurped by Yu Xiaotian, there is still a fig leaf in the way, and there is still an emperor in the court, so this world is still the world surnamed Zhu.
This gives many people a glimmer of hope, hoping that one day someone can support the royal family and regain power for the Zhu family, in that case, what they lost before, it is estimated that there is still a glimmer of hope that after the imperial power returns to the royal family, it can be returned to them.
But now once the Chongzhen Zen position is given to Yu Xiaotian, then the Ming Dynasty will not be the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the world of the Zhu family will not live in the world of the Zhu family.
Hearing the news, many people all over the world immediately cried loudly, beating their chests and feet, like mourning and examining, and even some people jumped up and scolded Yu Xiaotian at that time, vowing to restore the Ming Dynasty and re-put Emperor Chongzhen on the throne.
Of course, some gentry clans in some areas, using their local influence and control power, immediately secretly planned to raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch, completely fight with Yu Xiaotian to the death, and support the royal family.
In short, everywhere the news went, there was an uproar.
Of course, it is undeniable that there are not a few people in the world who are happy about this news, especially in the past two years, most of the ordinary people who have received preferential treatment from Yu Xiaotian's various new policies are grateful to Xiaotian.
Moreover, there are some people who, whenever a new deal is introduced, will carry out some propaganda or covert propaganda among the people, counting the benefits that these new policies can bring to the ordinary people, and why these new policies will be implemented, and preaching among the people, which is Yu Xiaotian's compassion for the people in the prison country.
