Eight hundred Western Xia can no longer be independent
Since Ren Dejing would purge the opposition and promote the bad guys to become officials, the Ming Dynasty would of course also purge the bad guys of Ren Dejing to "revenge" the victims.
And this is very legitimate because it was an order "issued" by the Empress Dowager Ren and three-year-old Li Chunbao.
After the war, Su Haisheng and Jiang Liangping visited Empress Dowager Ren who saved their lives and Li Chunbao, the three-year-old baby, to assure her that the Ming Dynasty would protect her and Li Chunbao.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has ordered us to properly protect the safety of you and His Highness the King, but we did not expect that Ren Dejing was so crazy and killed so many people."
Jiang Liangping stood aside, and Su Haisheng took the initiative to come forward and talk to Empress Dowager Ren.
Empress Dowager Ren was crying and trembling, not knowing whether she was afraid of Ren Dejing or Ming Jun.
Anyway, the entire palace was taken over by the Ming army, so she feels insecure now.
Although the Ming army had strict military discipline and did not violate the imperial palace, she sent back the palace maids and eunuchs who had served as the Empress Dowager and continued to serve the Empress Dowager, she was still very scared.
Seeing the two giants of the Ming army visiting, she forced herself to calm down and tried her best not to show weakness and fear.
"In this case, thank you to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming..."
"The Ming Dynasty was the suzerain state of Xia State. In trouble, the vassal state was in trouble. It was natural for the suzerain state to send troops to pacify it, so you don't have to worry about it."
Su Haisheng smiled and said, "But there is something that you and His Highness the King need to order us to complete."
"What's the matter?"
Empress Dowager Ren asked carefully.
"Troubleshooting the matter of Ren Dejing's rebellion."
Su Haisheng put away his smile and said seriously: "Although Ren Dejing has been captured and the army has been destroyed, there are still a large number of Ren Dejing's party in the court who survived. They helped the evildoer and helped Ren Dejing kill His Highness the previous king, which violated the ethics of the monarch and his ministers and was extremely evil.
For these people, not severely punishing them is not enough to calm the anger of the people, and not severely punishing them is not enough to calm the hearts of the people. Therefore, we hope that His Highness can order and allow us to deal with these rebellious thieves, behead them, kill their clans, and show them to the world to restore the order of the court!"
Empress Dowager Ren was stunned and immediately felt a huge panic and uneasy.
She instinctively felt that what Mingguo wanted to do might not be something that would be very beneficial to Xixia.
Do you want to kill someone without saying a word?
Ren Dejing has already killed a group of people. Now most of the surviving people are compromised with Ren Dejing. If they really ask for guilt and kill them, will there be any officials in the entire Xixia who can survive?
"This... isn't that right? They were not willing to join Ren Dejing, but were forced to do it with helplessness. They should consider this? It's really a matter of beheading the clan directly..."
"I would like to ask you and His Highness the King to issue an order to handle this matter with all our authority, to avenge the revenge of His Highness the King and the innocent royal family, and to rectify the chaos!"
Su Haisheng's tone became very firm, with no room for negotiation.
Jiang Liangping followed up and stared at Empress Dowager Ren with a very stern tone.
"I would like to ask Your Highness to allow me to do this. If this is not the case, the Xia Kingdom will be damaged and the country will be unavailable. If a rebellious person continues to be an official and take charge of the government, he will let the Emperor of Ming Dynasty know that it is definitely not a good thing for the Xia Kingdom!"
Jiang Liangping, who was fully armed with helmets and armor, was obviously more intimidating than Su Haisheng, who was wearing regular clothes.
This is obviously a coercion, not a negotiation, nor a request.
Empress Dowager Ren already knew what Ming Jun wanted to do.
However, Empress Dowager Ren had no ability to counterattack. Under Jiang Liangping's intimidation, the fearful Empress Dowager Ren agreed to their request for action and authorized them to handle the next thing.
Su Haisheng achieved his goal, so he announced to the public that the Empress Dowager and the new King Li Chunbao authorized Su Haisheng, commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition Army, allowing him to temporarily deal with the state of the Western Xia.
He then announced that the next task was to rectify the situation and find out the Li Renxiao and the Xixia royal family who died, and the loyal ministers avenged the treacherous and punished the treacherous.
With the "official authorization" of the Empress Dowager Xixia and the King, Su Haisheng became the most powerful person in Xixia for a period of time.
He fully presided over the Xixia national affairs during this period and the liquidation of Ren Dejing's party.
In order to find a "traitor" who cooperated with Ren Dejing, Su Haisheng asked the surviving Xixia officials to bite the dog and found Ren Dejing's accomplices. Only by finding Ren Dejing's accomplices can he be pardoned.
So in order to survive, a large number of Xixia officials began to bite dogs. You bite me and I bite you. Anyway, if you want me to die, I will never let you have a good life.
Those who have had some ambiguous relationships with Ren Dejing and those who have cooperated privately on the surface are all Ren Dejing's rebellion.
A large number of Xixia officials were reported because they did not explicitly oppose Ren Dejing or cooperate with Ren Dejing. The Ming army immediately dispatched him to arrest him, then interrogated, beheaded, and searched his home for one-stop service to ensure that the service was in place.
There is nothing to say. As long as there is evidence, it proves that he has worked with Ren Dejing, even if he just had a meal, he could be used as evidence. Not only did he have to behead him, but his family would also be confiscated and exterminated.
Because he was a lord and traitor, he even destroyed the royal family, and his nature was particularly bad, so he could be allowed to be forgiven if he had a little bit of it. Especially the Ming army was the one who was in charge of this matter, so he would be even more fierce and ruthless in handling it.
A large number of Xixia officials were waiting for the arrival of their destiny in fear.
So by the 19th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Hongwu, only one-fifth of the officials in the central government of Xixia were left.
All the high-ranking officials and nobles of the central government were killed, and none of them survived, and all the survived were small fish and shrimp.
Taking over the achievements of Ren Dejing's great purge, Su Haisheng completely destroyed the ruling class of the Western Xia by taking advantage of the "authorization" of the rulers.
They are no longer able to bear the needs of daily administration.
However, the political purge has not yet ended, and the officials' dog bites have not stopped. This political purge has also affected some wealthy businessmen who are white gloves from officials.
So the action continued, and all those related to Ren Dejing would be dealt with.
On the 20th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Hongwu, with the Xiping Prefecture being captured by Han Wei and the Ming army, Ren Dejing's last power was also eliminated.
The Ren family's lair was taken down in one fell swoop, and the Ren family was killed. Except for Empress Dowager Ren, who was the queen mother, none of the entire clan could survive.
Subsequently, Xiping Prefecture also carried out a purge against Ren Dejing's party.
Han Wei learned that Su Haisheng had received the "authorization" of Empress Dowager Ren, so he followed suit and allowed them to report each other and tear each other apart. As a result, a large number of officials and nobles in the city were all executed in the name of Ren Dejing's party, and their families were confiscated and their families were exterminated.
This political purge, launched in the core area of Xixia, in the name of revenge for the Western Xia royal family, was actually preparing for the Ming Empire to interfere in the internal affairs of Xixia. It continued until the 24th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Hongwu.
On the Ningxia Plain, a large number of Western Xia officials, powerful people and even civil tyrants were named Ren Dejing's party, and were punished for the crime of Ren Dejing's monarch and executed.
What a legitimate reason for Emperor Ming Su Yonglin to avenge the vassal state Li Renxiao and his entire clan under the "request" of the Empress Dowager Xixia and the Little Emperor.
No one cares about how the politics of Xixia country should be maintained after such a group of people were killed and how the imperial court should operate. Perhaps they didn't care, but they just couldn't care, because the Ming army was too strong and the reasons were too legitimate.
This political purge will end.
On the 26th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Hongwu, the order of Emperor Su Yonglin of the Ming Dynasty was transmitted to Xingqing Prefecture with a speed of 600 miles.
First, Su Yonglin comforted Empress Dowager Ren and the young emperor Li Chunbao, and issued an order to give them rewards, allowing them to continue to be the [Mr. Queen Mother] and [King of Xia] of Xixia, maintain their dominance and ensure their power.
Then, Su Yonglin issued an order to call Ren Dejing the [Sin Thieves], widely publicize the monarchy and slaughter of the royal family, and widely publicize it, setting the label of [justice] for the purge action initiated by the Ming army, and recognized the purge action from the level of the Ming Dynasty.
Next, Su Yonglin commended the Ming army that participated in this battle, commended the soldiers, and praised them for fighting bravely to maintain the truth in the world.
Finally, he comforted the officials who were lucky enough to die in Xixia, so that they could still do their original positions without changing, and continue to be loyal to their duties and not be respectful to them.
This is an imperial edict on the surface, and it is known to everyone, and it is all glorious.
In private, Su Yonglin wants to do too many things.
First, he asked the Empress Dowager Ren and the Little King Li Chunbao to issue some orders together.
First, all officials in the entire Xixia area were reviewed and reviewed by officials who were about to be sent to various places by the Ming Dynasty. They were not allowed to confront each other and had no unfriendly actions, otherwise they would be regarded as rebellion and were attacked immediately.
Second, the generals and troops of the military departments of all the Xixia areas surrendered to the Ming army in full, and were not allowed to fight or resist. When the Ming army generals came to inspect them, they must cooperate and honestly explain what they knew, otherwise they would be regarded as a rebellion and would be conquered.
Third, considering the large losses of Xixia officials, the vacancy could not be filled in a short period of time and the administration could not be restored, which was a very fatal situation for the people, so the Emperor of Ming Dynasty decided to personally send Ming officials to Xixia to [Assist in Administration].
Empress Dowager Ren and Li Chunbao, the young king, issued these orders in the name of the supreme ruler of the Western Xia, acknowledging the legitimacy of all this.
Up to this point, the Xixia Kingdom basically lost the possibility of independence and its national affairs were basically controlled by the Ming Kingdom.
So Su Yonglin was able to successfully transform the entire Xixia according to his pre-war vision, laying the foundation for the next direct annexation.
He decided to attack Xixia, and of course he could also decide to send people to Xixia.
Anyway, the Ministry of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty was fully controlled by the Revival Association and was not subject to external interference. Su Yonglin could order the Ministry of Personnel to sign an order to send any official to any place to take office.
Such a rare opportunity is of course used to expand the power of the Revival Association and allow more Revival members to have opportunities for training and growth.
So Su Yonglin directly sent more than 900 Revival members who had completed cadre training in the recent period to Xixia, allowing them to hold vacant grassroots positions in Xixia, and carried out a revival-style transformation of the grassroots of Xixia.
After they arrived in Xixia, they needed to carry out bottom-up changes to Xixia according to the service methods of the Fuxing Society, establish Central Plains villages and towns in Xixia, and strengthen the settlement and farming attributes of the local people in Xixia.
We will take the farming tasks of the Ningxia Plain and the Hetao Plain tightly, and bring out the agricultural potential of the two major subway plains to become subway granaries, providing support for the Ming army's logistics.
Then they need to influence the local Dangxiang people, Mixed Hu people and other Chinese characters through cultural influence, and transform the Xixia family into the Chinese family as soon as possible.
Through the institutional crushing advantage, Su Yonglin did not feel that these Xixia farmers who were also under oppression would exclude the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
Did the rulers of Xixia have any kindness to them?
Whether they are Dangxiang people or Han people, as long as they are at the bottom, they are still oppressed and exploited, and there is no difference.
However, Daming will bring them land, houses, farm tools and livestock, and will also reduce taxes, exempt from heavy taxes, and smash the chains that tie them up.
In this way, their choice is very clear.
