Emperor Chongzhen ran back to Beijing with tens of thousands of elite cavalry who survived the incident of killing people in Hang Aishan.

The Hang Aishan chopping incident was a bit big. Emperor Chongzhen, who originally planned to implement the three-light policy, got angry when he discovered the large tribe of Hang Aishan, and it made the matter big.

Simply put, the final benefits of the Hang Aishan chopping incident are numerous. There is no decent resistance on the entire stone prairie. Even Mosbatur Khan can only become a relatively large group of horse bandits in the future, and he has to be careful of the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army at any time.

The disadvantage is that there are indeed many soldiers who died in battle, so many that Emperor Chongzhen felt a little breathless.

Under such circumstances, Emperor Chongzhen naturally could not stay in Yidu anymore, but brought these tens of thousands of cavalry back to Beijing.

When they returned to Beijing, they had their own wives, their lovely sons and daughters in the capital. Those who had wives and children in the capital could go home, and those who had no wives and children could also have some rest in the Beijing camp.

When he returned, Emperor Chongzhen deliberately chose to enter the city from Andingmen. When he sent troops, he left Deshengmen, who was now back with great victory, naturally had to go to Andingmen.

Moreover, the soldiers behind him, as well as the heroic souls in the golden altar held in their arms, can they be taken as a result!

More than 60,000 elite cavalry formed a long dragon with no head and tail in the posture of four cavalry running in parallel. The flags covering the sky and the sun were either loose or rolled. The equipment and swords and muskets were still the rags brought back from the battlefield, and they were not replaced by new ones because of the entry ceremony.

Five miles away from Andingmen, the horse following Emperor Chongzhen took the lead and rushed out, rushed to the city gate, threw down a big wool flag, then turned around and galloped back.

Next is the second and third riders, and things that symbolize the Tatar Khan or the small sweat of each tribe are thrown down.

Wen Tiren wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "It's too hot this day."

The civil servants following Wen Tiren, except for the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu, almost all the rest wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads like Wen Tiren.

Seeing that the big guys in front of him were starting to have a bed chat, the censor in front of the palace immediately stepped out and shouted, "Quiet!"

Wen Tiren and other bigwigs immediately closed their mouths and didn't have a high position in the front of the palace, but on such occasions, no one dared to ignore the words of the front of the palace.

When I was waiting for Emperor Chongzhen, chatting, it was a misconduct in front of the palace, and being included in a book is not a joke.

Queen Zhou, not far away, also wiped the sweat from her forehead and whispered: "I wonder where Your Majesty has been? Have you ever cleared it?"

Concubine Yuan, Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Wan and Concubine Yi, who were following Queen Zhou, did not speak. Queen Zhou could speak at this time, but others could not answer.

Queen Zhou herself did not expect anyone to answer her. The rules in the palace, her own clear sects, and the status of the palace with one level difference is the difference between heaven and earth.

After a long time, the vanguard of this long dragon appeared, but it was not the most majestic Emperor Chongzhen as everyone imagined.

The soldiers who led the soldiers put their swords diagonally behind their backs, controlled Ma Jiang with their left hand and held the Golden Temple with their right hand.

The crowds on both sides of the road suddenly became quiet. Whether it was civil and military officials or the people, they were staring at the long dragon in front of them in disbelief.

Many people know how to wear ashes in the golden tar holding so many people.

The long dragon with tens of thousands of riders in front of me was each holding a golden altar in his arms, which means that tens of thousands of people were killed in battle?

These cavalry ignored anyone's intentions and turned a blind eye to the wine bowls placed on both sides of the road. After entering the city gate, they headed straight south, where the Martyrs' Temple was located.

It was not until the last row of cavalry holding the Golden Hall that Emperor Chongzhen's ceremonial guard appeared, followed by Emperor Chongzhen and the soldiers behind him who did not have the Golden Hall.

Before Emperor Chongzhen arrived, Empress Zhou took the concubines from the harem and waited next to the road.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen coming to stop the war horse, Empress Zhou bowed and said, "Your Majesty has been victorious for thousands of miles. I congratulate you for your Majesty! Congratulate you for the Ming Dynasty!"

After Queen Zhou finished speaking, Concubine Yuan, Concubine Tian, ​​Concubine Wan, Concubine Yi and others who followed him continued to worship: "I congratulate you for Your Majesty! Congratulate you for the Ming Dynasty!"

Then Wen Tiren and other court bosses bowed together and said, "I congratulate you for Your Majesty! Congratulate you for the Ming Dynasty!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand, signaling Empress Zhou and others to calm down, but did not dismount, but laughed loudly: "I led 100,000 elite cavalry to defeat Mosbatul in one battle, slaughter the twelve Tatar tribes, build the capital to watch Yanran, declare martial arts, and shock the unjust officials! The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, the soldiers following Emperor Chongzhen pulled out their sabers, pointed at the sky slantedly, shouted together: "The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories! Your Majesty has won thousands of victories!"

More than 20,000 soldiers who did not hold the Golden Temple shouted together, and immediately led the people around him to shout: "The Ming Dynasty is a thousand victories! Your Majesty is a thousand victories!"

This is the best sound in the world!

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen raised his hand to stop.

More than 20,000 soldiers stopped shouting one after another, and then the shouts of the people slowly stopped. Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "Drop off!"

The soldiers who heard the voice of Emperor Chongzhen in front turned over and dismounted one after another, prompting the soldiers behind them to dismount as well.

Emperor Chongzhen came to the wine table that was arranged in a long dragon and stretched for miles. He picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one go. He let the wine drip from the corner of his mouth without caring. Instead, he laughed and said, "Drinke!"

...

Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to the palace, finally could relax, and the string that had been shaking since leaving Beijing finally relaxed.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was in the mood to read Duan Xiaorong's works on the battlefield in Yidu, it was also for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to read. I was in the mood to read Xiao Liu Bei. What else do you have to worry about?

If you follow me to fight, you will definitely win the battle!

Emperor Chongzhen did not immediately summon the bigwigs of the civil service system such as Wen Tiren, but relaxed carefully and how to relax the process belonged to the indescribable part.

Then Emperor Chongzhen thought carefully about what Zhu Chunchen said when he was in Yidu.

Zhu Chunchen once said that it would be better to rest for two years than to continue using troops.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that what Zhu Chunchen said was quite reasonable. The more he thought about it along the way, the more he felt that what Zhu Chunchen said was right.

I have dug out some of the military meritorious Lord of the Qin Dynasty. Although there have been some modifications and no safe copying, the horror of this thing has been fully revealed.

The entire military is just like crazy and is studying where to fight and where to fight. The purpose is not just to expand the territory, but more to make military achievements.

However, from the perspective of Emperor Chongzhen, we cannot make military achievements for the sake of military achievements.

Military merits must serve the entire Ming Empire, which is the prerequisite!

And what made Emperor Chongzhen feel most uneasy was that his territory is too large now!

That’s right, from ancient times to the present and even to later generations, except for the prodigal boys who didn’t feel sorry for selling their land, there was never a headache for Emperor Chongzhen!

If the territory is too big, it will also cause headaches?

If someone asked this in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen would tell him without hesitation, that's right!

Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, in addition to the Liaodong, Nurkandus, Duogansixuanweisi, Wusizangxixuanweisi, and Daliuqiu, the newly obtained land includes a large area of ​​land that has not yet been officially named in the Black Uncle in Korea, Ryukyu, Xinming Island, Java, Luzon, and Africa!

In this way, the "Kyushu Island of Japan" that was rented by the Ming Dynasty, but with the Pixiu nature of Emperor Chongzhen, if this island can be returned, it would be a ghost!

The greatest possibility is to turn Japan into a part of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there is no hurry to do things in Japan. After all, there is still time to study that land slowly, but there is a place as big as the stone grassland in front of me.

If you don’t know how big the Leshi Grassland is, then the most intuitive statement is equivalent to the combined area of ​​Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Dogansi Xuanwei Department in the Ming Dynasty!

Even the large grasslands such as Chahar, Tumote, Chen Chahar and Tainingwei were not arranged before. Suddenly, there was a large grassland in it, so we can imagine how painful Emperor Chongzhen would be.

In fact, it was not only Emperor Chongzhen, but also the Ming Dynasty court institutions such as the cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue were having headaches.

The place is big enough, so people must live there? A place where people don’t live can still be considered your own territory?

Jiannu from Liaodong is a lesson from the past!

Of course, there is a way to choose between immigrating to the border, but all places are immigrating to the border?

How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty now? Even if all the fugitives and hidden households are counted, and those guys who sell themselves as slaves are counted, it is estimated that they will not exceed 200 million!

Although there were many natural disasters after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, in theory, there should be a lot of refugees, but in fact?

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen first made a basic plan in order to ascend the throne, and he was the most ruthless in catching disaster relief!

It doesn’t have much problem with being greedy for you. If you are greedy for death, you will become a scarecrow. If you are greedy for disaster relief, it will be a major event that involves the three tribes and even the nine tribes!

The people who received relief could survive. Later, the people who were suffering from disaster knew that the government would not let them ignore them. The people of the Ming Dynasty, who had confidence, did not care about the benefits of the migration!

Who would want to live in the center of the Ming Dynasty and the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire?

The Chu and Qin were clearly conferred by the Zhou royal family, but were still regarded as barbarians and despised by the people of the Central Plains. Isn’t this a practical example?

Of course, it is not a big problem for the people to relocate. After all, there is another word called forced migration. For example, the Jiannu people created the Sichuan Province to fill in Sichuan with Huguang and the ban on sea 50 miles inward movement are all real examples.

Even Emperor Chongzhen played several times, such as moving people to Luzon, Java and other places, and they did a lot of these things.

But can you keep doing this?

Emperor Chongzhen was not a fool. He could think of it just by thinking about it. If he continued to do this, the people would have opinions.

The people can endure opinions when they are alive. What if they die? The accumulated anger may subvert the Ming Empire that they finally struggled to make peace!

Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to gamble, nor did he want to gamble like this. After all, winning a bet is just to advance the time to completely occupy the territory. Losing a bet would be to bet on national luck!

what to do?

Emperor Chongzhen scratched his head a little, but it was a headache.

After wandering in the harem for several days, Emperor Chongzhen finally summoned Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou and other civil servants' system into the palace.

After Wen Tiren and others finished the etiquette of the audience, Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "I want to know how many people there are in my Ming Dynasty!"

Guo Yunhou bowed and said, "I will report to Your Majesty, I have more than 80 million people in the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "What I mean is that all those slaves, those fugitives, and hidden households are counted, how many people are there in total! They are accurate!

As long as I am a Ming people, I will be counted whether I have or not my Ming household registration!"

After more than ten years of traveling through time, Emperor Chongzhen was naturally not the first novice. He thought that the population of the Ming Dynasty was really just a little bit counted on official paper.

In fact, according to Emperor Chongzhen's calculations, the Ming Dynasty should have about 200 million people today, not just 80 million.

As for the more than 80 million people that Guo Yunhou mentioned, it refers to the people who have formal and registered with the government.

And this does not include slaves, lowly families, fugitives, and hidden families. In the eyes of the government, these people are not considered human beings at all. At best, they are just big animals with two legs and can walk!

However, the situation in the past was clearly visible. Either you hit me today or I hit you. In addition, the constant natural disasters made Emperor Chongzhen unable to make any census.

It is already hard enough to rely solely on manpower to conduct a census. In addition, I don’t know how many people will be affected, so Emperor Chongzhen has always felt that he was afraid of being a jealous person if he forced people to rebel during natural disasters, he would still be the people in the Central Plains. And who can guarantee that without Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, Zhao Xianzhong and Wang Zicheng would definitely not appear?

The same thing is said, once you play too much, the original good thing will become a gambling for national fortune. Except for the Japanese slaves who always like to bet on national fortunes, I have never heard of any head of country who likes to do such things!

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, Guo Yunhou bowed and said, "I will tell you, if you count the cheap family and the hidden households together, then the population of the people of the Ming Dynasty should be more than tens of millions.

But it takes one or two years, or even two or three years to count the exact number?”
