1188 It is not an exaggeration to celebrate with the whole country

In fact, what Yang Sichang didn't know was that before he remembered this, Hong Chengchou had already reported the victory first.

However, there is actually not much difference between whom they are in front and who they are behind.

Because Emperor Chongzhen did not wait online at all. After all, he was no longer a novice. When dealing with the Qing Dynasty, he followed up with many wars, and even led the army to personally experience the war.

As for the war that took place at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, as long as the Khalkha tribes had not discovered the troops led by Hong Chengchou before he fell asleep, the result would be destined.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen went online, Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang both reported the results of the battle respectively.

At the battle at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the Ming cavalry led by Yang Sichang had more than 10,000, and the remnants of the Weila tribes had more than 4,000 combat power, plus the number of women, children and wounded people reached about 10,000. The cavalry led by Hong Chengchou did not suffer much loss when he swept the northern part of the desert. When he arrived at the Tianshan Mountains, there were nearly 60,000.

On the Khalkha tribe, the three major tribes combined have a total of nearly 70,000 people. In terms of military strength, the number of people on both sides is similar.

As a result, the Ming army died in battle and injured more than 200 people; the Weila tribes died in battle and injured about 796 people; among the Khalkha tribes, the three tribes were killed and injured in total, and 40,000 were captured, and about 10,000 were temporarily fled; most of them fled to the west, but the Ming army followed and pursued them, and it was estimated that they could kill and injured a lot.

On the side of the slave chief, Tushetu Khan Gundbu was killed on the spot, and his body was found and identified later; Chechen Khan Shuolei was caught by the Ming army while running away, and is now being imprisoned in the Ming army camp; Zasaktu Khan Norbu ran fast, among the Khalkha people who were fleeing west.

According to the statistics afterwards, the casualties of the Ming army and the Wei Lat people were mainly concentrated on Yang Sichang's side, which was an action of night attacks to attract the attention of the Khalkha people. Emperor Chongzhen also understood this.

This battle report can be seen by senior Ming officials in the temporary group.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen summoned them to meet in Wenhua Hall, as soon as he arrived, before he could speak, the ministers below all smiled and congratulated Emperor Chongzhen on the first.

"I congratulate the emperor. Since the founding of the State Dynasty, after this battle, it has truly pacified the northern Mongolia!" Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, first responded, "The old minister thinks that he should pay tribute to the Taimiao to comfort the spirit of Taizu Chengzu in the sky!"

Taizu's northern expedition drove the Mongols out of the Central Plains; Chengzu's fifth expedition to Mongolia and finally died on the journey; pacifying Mongolia has always been the last wish of these two great and powerful Ming emperors!

However, after these two founding emperors, the Tumu Fort first changed, and the Mongols actually captured the Ming Dynasty. This was a very shame and humiliation for the Ming Dynasty, but there was no way. They were nomadic on the grassland and had no place to live. It was too difficult to truly pacify the Mongols.

In the end, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and his officials came up with the title of the Mongol leader as king, and used this method to pacify Mongolia. However, the subsequent fact was that Altan of Mongolia was in a jail and his troops surrounded the capital. It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty could not pacify Mongolia at all, no matter what method was used.

This is a regret for almost all the Ming emperors, and also a regret for the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, everyone thought that it would be impossible to completely pacify Mongolia! After all, even the two emperors, who were talented and powerful, could not pacify the founding of the country. After all, for more than 250 years, there was no way to deal with Mongolia.

However, today, with the victory of the Mobei War and the victory of the Tianshan War, this means that the Ming Dynasty has truly pacified Mongolia!

During the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han expelled the Huns and left his name to his later generations; however, Emperor Wu of Han paid a huge price for this and exhausted the wealth left by the rule of Wen and Jing, and the former Han Dynasty also declined.

However, today, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty did this, even more thoroughly than Emperor Wu of Han. All the Mongols who remained on the northern grasslands of the Ming Dynasty have become real people of the Ming Dynasty. All the grassland tribes that were enemies of the Ming Dynasty have been eliminated, and the only remnants are now fleeing to a place more west than the Western Regions.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was planning and consumed less money and food in every war. Every time he seized, he could hedge the consumption of the army. Even if he fought more, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty would not be empty. What's more, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty had good governance, and the treasury would no longer be able to starve rats to death like before he ascended the throne. The treasury would have a surplus every year!

Nowadays, it can be said that the grassland is the grassland of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is Hetao, Korqin, or Mobei, it is the grassland of the Ming Dynasty!

With such great achievements, how can we not make Wen Tiren and other ministers excited? How can we not give sacrifices to the Taimiao and make the ancestors and ancestors of the Ming Dynasty feel relieved?

Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, even followed Wen Tiren and told Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I think that such a great victory should be a general amnesty for the world, so that all the people of the world know your majesty's great achievements, and the whole country will celebrate!"

Sun Chengzong, the second assistant to the cabinet, was even more moved. He had been leading military affairs for a long time and knew how difficult it would be to pacify the grassland like the emperor! What's more, he witnessed the emperor turn the world around. In addition to pacifying Mongolia, he also quelled the huge Qing Dynasty rebellion! Now, it can be said that the north of the Ming Dynasty, wherever the sun shines, is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped out and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the old minister will discuss it. It is time to pardon the whole world and celebrate the whole country!"

After hearing this, the other ministers followed suit. Among them, Xue Guoguan also loudly said: "Your Majesty, my territory of the Ming Dynasty has been expanded more than twice. Such a happy event should be celebrated by the whole country. It is no exaggeration to congratulate Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty!"

The territory he collected was more than twice as many as he had, of course, he had calculated the extreme north, which was a little bit of a flattery to Emperor Chongzhen. After all, for them, the extreme north was rare and if they really wanted to be included in the territory, it was actually possible. But if they really wanted to say it, at least Emperor Chongzhen knew the value of the extreme north, which was not something that the emperor could compare with before.

Such a grand celebration will be a grand amnesty for the whole country, and the whole country will celebrate together, which is much more meaningful than the birthday of the ordinary emperor and the queen mother. This grand amnesty for the world will surely be engraved in history! And these ministers will also be the ministers of the revival of the Ming Dynasty and will be remembered forever!

However, Emperor Chongzhen was not as excited as his ministers.

For him, with the chat group system, he was a time traveler, and he pulled the Ming Dynasty back from the brink of the country and the extermination step by step, defeated the Jianlu step by step, blocked the Jianlu, eliminated the Jianlu, merged the Han and Mongolian people, etc., which were all natural and completed step by step.

In this ancient times when communication was underdeveloped, there were also cheating in the chat group system. It was actually not randomly added. Basically, every battle can be done, and the enemy knows the whereabouts of the enemy, but the enemy is completely disgusted. In this way, if you can't win the enemy, it would be really too weak!

For Emperor Chongzhen, pacifying northern Mongolia was only the first step. The focus of the Ming Dynasty was still in the South Ocean and the entire earth. The next thing was to seal off so many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty and seal them all over the world. This was where he needed to work hard!

However, seeing that the ministers below were so happy, Emperor Chongzhen was also happy, thinking to himself, since you are so happy, let everyone be happy! So he smiled and nodded and replied, "Are you sure what you are saying!"

Everyone below was very happy when they heard this. However, Wen Tiren was worthy of being the chief assistant and immediately continued to proclaim: "Your Majesty, the court should properly deal with the Wei Lat tribes and others as soon as possible!"

"I will discuss it!" The second assistant Sun Chengzong also immediately replied, "This matter should be dealt with on the day of a great victory!"

Emperor Chongzhen naturally would not delay this. The place to the west must be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how could the Ming Dynasty's hand reach out to Western Siberia to ask for oil and gas?

After thinking a little, he said to the ministers: "Eqiertu has injuries on his body, so Gu asked him to come to the capital to recuperate. As for his position, I think that he can be granted the title of Heshuo Special Duke. What do you think?"

Everyone was not surprised when they heard this. If they followed the previous practice, like the Khan of the Mongolian tribe, they would usually be granted the king. However, the title of the king is actually just a name, and they still live in their own tribes and have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. Now Eqiertu is going to be a true Ming minister, so it would be inappropriate to be granted the king. After all, there are really no kings in the Ming ministers, and now they are still under the background of the vassal kings' external enthronement, so it is even more impossible to be granted the king or something.

"I'm going to discuss it!" The ministers below all replied in unison.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it a little, and then continued: "Governor Hong stationed troops at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, tried to collect the remnants of the Weila tribe, and reorganized the Weila tribe. I decided to set up a new province, choose a place where water and grass are fertile, and can cultivate and develop, build cities like Guihua City, move Han people to farm, and combine grazing with nomadic peoples."

Facts have proved that building settlements for the Mongols, which complement the lengths of the Han people, can effectively control the Mongols. At least from Baotou, Guihua City, and the newly built cities on the Korqin Grassland, have been verified.

Therefore, when everyone heard this, they all said that Your Majesty was wise and all agreed.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them and continued, "I thought that in the land of Mobei, I would also build a city and set up Mobei Province to govern the land of Mobei and the extreme north."

Hearing this, this time, the ministers below did not agree at the beginning, and immediately agreed. Instead, everyone below looked at each other, and then Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, now Mobei has been swept into the caves by our Ming Dynasty. The seized population, cattle and sheep, are all escorted back to Huihua City. If the city is built and a province is established, wouldn't it be an empty shell? And the Ming Dynasty cannot effectively control the land in Mobei?"

Sun Chengzong also followed and said: "In fact, it is not just Mobei. Just now, this new province is too far away for our Ming Dynasty. It is because we have to go west after the Ming Dynasty, so we can barely be able to build a city and build a province."

Seeing their reaction and listening to their words, Emperor Chongzhen did not look angry at all. He heard it and asked the ministers below indifferently, "You guys, do you say these places are too far away and the transportation is inconvenient?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wen Tiren replied.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, a smile appeared on his face and looked at Wen Tiren and said, "Has Wen Qing forgotten that I said that as long as I work hard to develop science and technology in the Ming Dynasty, one day, the capital will arrive in Yingtian Prefecture, and one day, my Ming Dynasty will climb to the moon. At that time, can distance become a problem?"

The ministers below were silent. After a while, Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, although you say that, you don't know that these things will take hundreds of years to be realized. It's too early to say it!"

This kind of thing still exists in the imagination, so I just thought about it. Could it be that day I saw it?

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, took the lead and retorted loudly: "As long as I, the Ming Dynasty, promotes Your Majesty's scientific and technological knowledge, such a thing will be realized sooner or later, why should it take hundreds of years?"

He was confident in saying this, not because he had a deep understanding of scientific and technological knowledge, but because he was a eunuch, he was easy to walk in the palace and saw things.

However, Cao Huachun's words were reasonable, which made Wen Tiren unable to refute them.

Although this is the case, the traffic problem is still very realistic when hindering the Ming Dynasty's effective rule too far.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Cao Huachun and knew why he was so confident. He thought to himself that this matter should be announced.

So he glanced at the ministers below and said with a smile: "You all should know that there are strange things in the Forbidden City during this period, right?"

When all the ministers heard this, they were stunned, but immediately understood what strange things the emperor was referring to.

About a month ago, there was often thick smoke in the Forbidden City, and the sound was very loud, which sounded like a steam engine, but the movement was moving again. At first, they all thought it was a steam ship, but there was a lake in the Forbidden City. Judging from the sound and the direction of smoke, it seemed to be on the lake in the Forbidden City. Therefore, everyone was curious about what was going on in the Forbidden City?

However, it is obvious that Emperor Chongzhen issued a ban order, but these ministers asked, but they could not get the answer. Now it seems that the emperor is going to announce the answer.

These ministers were naturally not stupid. They were related to the purpose of the steam engine, and then they thought about the background that the emperor mentioned this matter. They couldn't help but have a guess in their hearts. However, it seemed that it was not very useful, but the emperor still mentioned it. Is there anything different from what he thought?
