Heavens: Be a New Man

Chapter 96: Chongzhen the Great (below)

The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department originally existed only as a branch of the cabinet, and the courtiers took turns serving concurrently, and there was no quota. Although it bypassed the cabinet and directly decided military affairs by the emperor, it aroused the vigilance of the courtiers, but at first it only involved civil upheaval. And the border military affairs, and indeed improve the efficiency, so it did not attract enough attention from the courtiers.

However, after the end of the Battle of Huangtaiji Kouguan in the third year of Chongzhen, the courtiers discovered that the emperor had incorporated Jinyiwei into the Military Aircraft Department as the intelligence agency of the Military Aircraft Department. The role of the cabinet has been infinitely weakened.

Thanks to Sun Chengzong's steady and steady fight in the past two years, the construction of the Ningjin line of defense, coupled with He Xie's foresight and the promotion of firearms, in the three years of Chongzhen's battle, Huang Taiji was not avoided by Ningyuan, Jinzhou and broke into the customs. The enemy will be turned away, a battle that lasted for three months caused heavy casualties in the wild boarskin, and eventually nothing was found and returned to Shenyang.

Huang Taiji was deeply ashamed and vowed to take revenge.

However, the Ming army's discipline was lax and its combat effectiveness was poor. In this battle, the Ming army also suffered heavy losses, and the number of casualties was even comparable to that of a wild boar.

But in the end, Daming won this battle, and the benefits obtained are obvious.

First of all, Shaanxi’s suppression of civil revolt is in full swing. Years of famine, the court is short of silver and food, even though the emperor has repeatedly exempted Shaanxi, Shandong and other disaster-stricken areas from taxes and allocated food for disaster relief, and sweet potatoes have also solved a small part of the urgent needs, but natural and man-made disasters are still Unavoidable.

Under the circumstances of such two-front operations, it is extremely difficult and extremely rare for the Battle of Liaodong to achieve such results.

Secondly, after this battle, the strength of the wild boarskin was greatly damaged, and he was unable to start a war again in the short term. Sun Chengzong could continue to promote his strategy, steadily and steadily train troops and build roads, and open up Jingdong farmland.

In this global period of the Little Glacier Cataclysm, the only way for wild boarskin to survive is to fight against North Korea and Mongolia to obtain survival supplies.

The Ming Dynasty did not have time to cultivate and recuperate, nor did it have such conditions, but taking advantage of this precious peace period, it was possible to calm down the civil strife and completely stabilize the domestic situation.

Finally, after this battle, the position of the military aircraft department was completely highlighted, and the monarchy was further strengthened and concentrated. Jin Yiwei was active in this battle and spread the intelligence network outside the customs. Moreover, the emperor took advantage of this battle to promote some talents and entered the military aircraft department, such as Shi Kefa, Liu Zhaoji and others.

In January of the third year of Chongzhen, the emperor canonized the prince Zhu Ciheng as the crown prince.

In April, the emperor was dissatisfied with the anxious battle situation in Shaanxi, and increased troops in Shaanxi, surrounded the bandits in northern Shaanxi, and completely pacified Shaanxi in the first battle. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and killed, and Li Zicheng disappeared.

After the pacification of Shaanxi, the emperor built water transportation, transferred money and grain in the south, and fixed natural disasters in the north.

In the five years since then, Daming has entered a long period of reform of the "Chongzhen New Deal".

The emperor reformed the taxation system, restarted the business taxation, changed the East Factory to the Daming Taxation Bureau, and Wei Zhongxian was the first tax governor.

The effect of this measure is obvious. Dongchang Fanzi, Jinyiwei and local officials have formed a situation of mutual supervision and mutual restraint. Although Dongchang’s ruthless means of raiding homes has been impeached by hundreds of officials, only Chongzhen four The annual tax is on the top of the sum of the past three years.

As a result, both the cabinet and the six officials shut up.

The process of reform was not all smooth sailing. During this period, the emperor also failed. For example, the opening of the sea ban was forced to give up due to the obstruction of wealthy merchants and officials along the coast; another example was the oppression of the common people during the tax collection period of Dongchang, and the provocation of fish and meat villages. The civil upheaval caused the taxation work to stagnate for a time, and even the emperor had to temporarily depose Wei Zhongxian, only to resume the following year.

The good news is that Daming is rich, business tax collection is a foregone conclusion, and the famine in the Shanxi and Shanxi regions has been effectively alleviated due to the widespread popularity of sweet potatoes.

In addition, the emperor trained a new army of 50,000 people, with Shi Kefa as the commander and Xu Guangqi as the new army instructor, stationed in the capital.

The Ming Dynasty has stumbled and stumbled through for five years. In these five years, disasters have still occurred frequently in various places, and there have been riots by hungry people from time to time, but compared with the original history, it has been much better.

Longjing Pass, Hongshan Pass, and Da'an Pass broke into the pass, captured Zunhua, and the capital was in an emergency.

The emperor was furious and determined to keep Huang Taiji in the gate.

The emperor used the capital as bait, erected the walls to clear the fields, and lured the enemy to penetrate deep, so that Liaodong, Xuanfu, and Jizhou were encircled, cutting off the back roads of the Eight Banners Army, and using the new army to lead the defense of the capital.

As for Laideng, the emperor ordered Sun Chuanting to enter Shandong, and sent Han Kuang and Lu Jianxing to North Korea to join forces.

On May 27, Daming encircled Shenyang.

The desperate golden man broke out with amazing combat power!

In this battle, although Daming had the advantage of firearms, there were still more than 20,000 casualties. The 50,000 Jinmen and horses were completely wiped out. Dorgon and the palace killed the harem concubines and the prince and the princess. They set themselves on fire and died. The prince did not know. traced.

The Jin Dynasty has officially perished since then!

Kong Youde, who had divided Korea, quickly begged the emperor for guilt and surrender, and the emperor ordered Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting to kill him. Then the two troops and Li's Korean army encircled, completely wiped out Mao Wenlong's subordinates, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were captured by their subordinates, and they were still happy to die in the army.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the emperor moved the capital to Nanjing, and in the same year, all states came to the DPRK!

Thirty-two years after Emperor Chongzhen reigned, Daming had completely turned into an empire where capitalism began to flourish. Since the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Crown Prince Zhu Ciheng began to travel around Daming, and even went to sea. The prince accepted new things very quickly, and at the same time, due to the teachings of Han Kuang and other old officials, he did not lose his composure.

In the 33rd year of Chongzhen, the emperor reformed the administration of officials and ordered the establishment of military academies, industrial schools, and agricultural schools outside the imperial prison.

But halfway through the implementation of the reform, Empress Ding became seriously ill and passed away after ten months.

The emperor was so grieved that he had no intention to govern for three consecutive months.

On the twenty-seventh day of the seventh month of the 33rd year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen abdicated, and the crown prince Zhu Ciheng succeeded.

The crown prince continued his father's ruling ideas, and still made drastic reforms. After Chongzhen's efforts in the dynasty, Daming talents came out in large numbers. The emergence of these talents has made the reappearance of Daming prosperous, a foregone conclusion.
