One hundred and ninety-six chapters offer prisoners and ask for the moon
As for how Du Yinxi and Yuan Jixian arranged it, Zhu Cixuan had a lot of effort.
Du Yinxi was good at handling internal affairs, and Yuan Jixian was good at training troops, especially the navy.
What Zhu Cilang needs to do is to apply it according to their characteristics.
He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu were killed and there was a lack of a person in charge in Huguang.
Huang Degong, Jin Shenghuan, and Ma Jinzhong are all military generals, so they obviously cannot take on this role. In addition, no one of the three of them is convinced by each other, and if Zhu Cilang appoints one of them to command the other two, he will be in a turmoil.
Therefore, Zhu Cilang decided to appoint Du Yinxi as the governor of Huguang, which was equivalent to letting him take over He Tengjiao's position.
In addition to continuing to serve as the "Governor of the Four Provinces", Yuan Jixian also served as the Admiral Cao Jiang, responsible for all river defense matters from Jingzhou to the Yangtze River Estuary.
This is equivalent to Zhu Cilang granting Yuan Jixian the power to fully train the navy in disguise.
As for the original admiral Cao Jiang Hou Xun, he was transferred back to the Censorate and Tingkan.
For Zhu Cixuan, the current situation is already very critical.
Both Huguang and Shandong must be guarded. As long as one is not guarded, it is inevitable that the mistakes of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history will be repeated.
Of course, the better thing than the original history is that he has basically eliminated Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and other forces, and the Ming Dynasty is relatively united and stable.
What the Ming Dynasty needs most now is to win one after another, and to give the soldiers and the people confidence through victory.
Only in this way can we gain a steady stream of motivation in the long showdown with the Qing Dynasty.
......
......
On the morning of November 10, 17th year of Chongzhen, a grand prisoner offering ceremony was held outside the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City, Nanjing.
Zhu Cilang was wearing a bright red twelve-chapter robe and took a carriage to the Meridian Gate.
In the eunuch, Zhu Cilang climbed the morning gate tower surrounded by the Han general, overlooking the vast crowds under the Wumen Gate.
All civil and military officials were arranged on both sides, and they were as sacred as before.
But unlike in the past, hundreds of rebel prisoners were escorted by the Han general and fell to kneel outside the Meridian Gate.
Minister of War Lu Zhenfei said loudly: "Present prisoners!"
Later, Xielulang held his command and led the musician to take his seat, and Si Le knelt down to ask for the music. Xielulang raised his command, cheered up, and compiled music.
For a moment, the golden drums sounded, and the music shook the sky.
Le Zhi, Minister of War Lu Zhenfei continued: "According to the orders, He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, the prisoners and prisoners captured were presented to the palace, and they went to the city to execute the execution and request the order."
After Lu Zhenfei said this, Zhu Cixuan should speak out next.
He had two choices: one was to release the prisoners of war to demonstrate the greatness of the emperor's grace, and the other was to issue an order to take the prisoners of war to the Ministry of Justice to be executed in accordance with the law.
Zhu Ciyang knew that these prisoners were all generals in Zuo Liangyu's army, and some of them had some strength. But treason was treason, and rebellion was rebellion. If these people were not punished with the righteous decree, who would still respect the laws of the Ming Dynasty in the future?
Even in order to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, these people must die.
"Take it!"
Zhu Cilang gave the order and sentenced hundreds of left-ranking generals to the end.
After Zhu Cilang's voice loudly, the two great generals beside him shouted: "Take it!"
Then, two changed to four, four changed to eight, eight changed to sixteen, until three hundred and sixty Han generals shouted in unison.
In addition to acting as spies, the most important responsibility of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei was to serve as the emperor's guard of honor.
Therefore, in addition to being tall and strong, they also have a loud voice, so they can chant at any time.
Three hundred and sixty people shouted in unison, and the sound was as loud as thunder.
"I obey the order!"
At this time, the Minister of Justice Ma Shiying stood up.
After receiving the order, he ordered to the left and right: "Take them away, verify their true self, and go to the city to execute the execution!"
The offering of prisoners is just a ceremony, but the real execution is not here.
The execution of criminals in the Ming Dynasty was in the Western City. These rebel generals were sentenced to death by the emperor. They were sentenced to death by the emperor. They would be taken to the execution ground for clearing the execution.
......
......
It has been a long time since Nanjing West City has been so lively.
Hearing that hundreds of rebel generals were about to be executed, the people in Nanjing rushed to watch the fun, which made the West City bustle.
Because there are too many prisoners to be executed, they can only be executed in batches.
However, this made the people of Nanjing even more excited, which means they can watch it for a longer time.
The first group of criminals were taken to the court and led to kneel in front of the anvil.
The prison officer looked at the sky and saw that the time had arrived, so he threw the red stamp out.
The executioners pulled out the wooden signs inserted behind the prisoner's neck and slashed them down with a knife.
Twenty heads rolled down one after another, and the headless corpses fell softly to the ground.
Logically speaking, after the executioner would pour water on the execution platform to clean blood, but because there were too many criminals to be executed today, there was no need for this. Otherwise, after the splashing water and cleaning, one more batch of criminals would have to be executed, which would be in vain.
The people watching were screaming as the heads fell, followed by a burst of ecstasy.
"Good kill!"
"Kill all these rebels!"
"The court is mighty, the emperor is mighty!"
The impact of the killing has released the emotions that these ordinary people have accumulated over the years. They have raised their fists and are very excited.
Another group of rebel generals were brought up, and the executioner efficiently reaped lives.
The people shouted excitedly, and before they knew it, most of the voices were hoarse.
Li Guoying belongs to the last group of rebels to be executed.
When he was taken to the guillotine, the people threw rotten vegetables at him.
Li Guoying was tied up with his hands and could not pull out the vegetable leaves, so he simply closed his eyes and let the people throw them at him.
He recalled his life quickly in his mind.
Starting from being a small soldier, Zuo Liangyu valued it and was promoted to a personal soldier. Later, he made contributions and became Zuo Liangyu's confidant general.
When Zuo Liangyu raised an army to "clear the king's side", he responded without hesitation and supported him.
Of course he understood that the so-called "clearing the king" was just a cover. The moment Zuo Liangyu raised an army, it meant rebellion.
But he would still choose to follow Zuo Liangyu to rebel.
Because his loyalty was Zuo Liangyu, not the court.
His glory and wealth were given by Zuo Liangyu, not by the court, so he and Zuo Liangyu both prospered and lost.
Not to mention that what Zuo Liangyu wants to "clear the king's side", even if Zuo Liangyu wants to change the dynasty and become the emperor himself, Li Guoying will not hesitate at all and will definitely persuade him to enter as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Zuo Liangyu was defeated, so all the generals who supported Zuo Liangyu deserved to die.
If Zuo Liangyu wins, wouldn’t they all be founding heroes?
As for the civil strife that might allow the Qing army to take advantage of the situation, Li Guoying's opinion was nothing at all.
If Zuo Liangyu really seized the country, he would have to cede several provinces to the Qing Dynasty and build a river to rule.
Unfortunately, everything is over now.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, and the loser is not qualified to live in this world.
The sword rose and the head fell, and Li Guoying's life ended on November 10, 17, the 19th year of Chongzhen.
