Chapter 134: The Martyrs' Shrine, Mingchen Pavilion
"What a good little girl, Xiao Ji is so good..." Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed and praised her, and reached out to hold the cat and suck it hard.
The White Lady seemed to be prepared for a long time. Seeing the big pig's hooves reaching over, she jumped into Zhang Yu'er's arms and made a protesting "meow"!
Hehe, Zhu Youxiao rubbed his hands with some regret, reached out and pointed a little bit of Xiaobai, and said, "I will reward you for your merits. Tell me what I want to eat in the future."
Zhang Yuer put the memorial back on the table and reached out to touch Bai Niangniang's big head. She was puzzled: Why do you tell me that the cat can't speak.
Zhu Youxiao took a pen to add, adding Xu Hongru's name to his secret letter to Teacher Yuan.
Time was not long, and Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War, rushed over. As an important official, he was waiting for the emperor to arrive at the Meridian Gate, and was close to him.
"Shi Sun, the Dongchang secretly reported, and heard the incense sect demon Xu Hongru, who wanted to gather people to rebel in Shandong." Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything nonsense, shook the so-called secret report in his hand, "100,000, urgently, please ask Sun to write a document from the Ministry of War to inform the soldiers and horses from all over Shandong to prepare for defense."
Sun Chengzong was shocked and said, "Wang Sen, the leader of the Yinxiang Sect, was arrested and died in prison during the Wanli period. Why did he rekindle again?"
After saying that, without waiting for the emperor to speak, Sun Chengzong bowed and said, "Long live, I will go and arrange it."
"Okay, okay." Zhu Youxiao said: "I will ask the Macao Security Department and the East Factory to send the information there, and maybe it will not only Shandong, but also affect other places."
Sun Chengzong bowed and left.
Sun Chengzong knew more about the incense smelling school than Zhu Youxiao.
Wang Sen, the founder of the Yinxiang Sect, was from Jizhou, Shuntian Prefecture, Ming Shuntian Prefecture. His original surname was Shi and his name was Nai. He asked the queen of the Sect, and then the surname Wang was criticized. He also fabricated the legend of the demon fox giving Xiang to establish the sect with incense, with the intention of deifying the original sect.
Wang Sen secretly developed believers, and had many believers in Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and Sichuan, so they were not tolerated by the court.
In the 23rd year of Wanli, Wang Sen was arrested and sentenced to death, and was sentenced to death. He then went to the capital to preach. In the 42nd year of Wanli, he was arrested again and died in prison in the fifth year of Yue.
Sun Chengzong was an orthodox Confucian scholar, so he naturally scoffed at the incense-smelling religion, and even despised the foolish women of the people.
But he was still very shocked that the Winter Sect wanted to rebel. He did not expect that the Winter Sect had already developed into such a power in secret.
As soon as Sun Chengzong left, Luo Sigong and the eunuch Wang Guochen, who was temporarily in charge of the East Factory, arrived one after another. After receiving the emperor's instructions, they hurriedly left to do the work.
After a while of busy work, my interest in offering prisoner ceremony at the Meridian Gate has also decreased.
Without the kind of uniform and majestic queue reviews of later generations, they are just dead heads and broken flags, and there is nothing to be seen.
But this ceremony that encouraged the morale of the people could not be abandoned halfway, so Zhu Youxiao had to calm down and take the carriage to the inner palace and go to the Meridian Gate.
……………………
The warm atmosphere of offering prisoners at the Meridian Gate will continue in the capital for several days, and the topic of conversation after dinner will be mainly about dead heads.
Because the dead heads were just outside the south of the city, Jingguan was piled up, which seemed to be something that had never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
It was also on the same day that the emperor issued an order to build a temple of heroes and martyrs and a pavilion in Xiangshan, and to go to the sacrifices in person every year, and the kings, princes, ministers, civil and military officials must do so.
The Heroes' Temple and the Famous Ministers' Pavilion cost more than 500,000 taels of silver. The emperor pledged 50,000 to start construction in advance. The rest were donated by the officials and civilians in the capital, and the stones were recorded forever.
You should know that Xiangshan and Daxishan were designated as royal tomb areas during the Ming Dynasty, and the princesses, and some emperors' concubines were buried.
In the sixth year of Zhengtong, the eunuch of the Sili Li, Fan Hong, invested more than 700,000 yuan, "donated the market materials and ordered the reconstruction of the palaces, pavilions, corridors, and statues, which were completely renewed, with a magnificent regulation, and became a giant temple. After hearing this, he gave the Yong'an Zen Temple."
Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty once visited here and called it the Xishan area, which has a unique green color. Emperor Wanli of the Shenzong once climbed up to see the distance and wrote the word "Laiqing", which is Laiqingxuan next to Xiangshan Temple.
The ability to build temples and pavilions in the royal tomb area demonstrates the emperor's respect.
The list of the first batch of heroes who entered the temple has been announced. All the civil officials and military generals who died in Liaodong after Jiannu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty were included.
Among the famous ministers are Xu Da, Liu Ji, Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Wang Shouren, Yu Qian, Zheng He and Hai Rui.
It turns out that this is the definition of the saint, the heroes and famous ministers, who can be left in history, so that future generations can admire and worship, and make their descendants glorious.
It seems easy to do heroes, but Yuan Mingtai, who died in Liaoyang, is not among them; it seems rare for famous officials, so what great achievements does Hai Rui have?
Looking at the list of imperial pens, everyone has their own thoughts and their own thoughts. Some people sneer at it, while others have secretly established their minds and want to join in and enjoy sacrifices and leave their reputations.
No matter what the capital is, the Liao Town, Deng Town, Dongjiang Town and Jin Town, which came to offer prisoners and were required to conduct rectification training, a total of 2,000 troops had moved into the military camp and began strict military training.
Those who can be sent to the capital to participate in the inspection will naturally be selected by the elites of each town. No matter how bad they are, they must be healthy and have a straightforward benchmark. Are you tired of living by showing the old, weak, sick and disabled?
Running, setting up formations, gun control, fire guns... The training time of a day is very full and tiring. The officers have evening classes and learn new tactics.
The so-called new tactics are tactical changes made around the muskets, which are mainly divided into two aspects: offense and defense. If it is strictly divided, they are field battles and city defense.
As for infantry, if you attack other cavalry, you will chase four legs, and you won’t be able to have a musket! In field battles, infantry can only fight against cavalry in a defensive formation.
According to the newly compiled "Infantry Tactics", the Ming army mainly arranged small formations of 500 and 300 people. The equipment ratios of long spears, swords and shields, Lumi guns, and eagle guns were roughly 4:2:3:1.
Taking the five hundred men as an example, there are two hundred spearmen, one hundred swords and shields, one hundred Lumi gun musketeers, one hundred fifty eagle gun musketeers, and fifty eagle gun musketeers. Simply put, the proportion of hot and cold weapons is six to four.
But this is not very accurate, because Lumi Gun, well, has now been named Wansheng Gun, and it can be stabbed with a bayonet as a spear.
To outsiders, this bayonet is actually a metal rod with a pointed front, with grooves on the sleeve, which cooperates with a protruding tenon outside the barrel, and can be fixed on the gun.
The Wansheng Gun is regulated to be six feet and five inches, and the bayonet is one foot and five inches long, which together is an eight-foot spear. Comparing with weapons such as swords and swords, there is no disadvantage.
And the emergence of every new thing will always take a process until people fully adapt.
Zhu Youxiao convened a team of people to study it carefully, and after repeated demonstrations from actual combat to technical demonstration, the Wansheng gun that was finalized was not comfortable and was not popular in the new army.
There is nothing else, just being conservative and lazy.
