Wanli Youming

Chapter 244 Ling Chi execution!

Chapter 244 Ling Chi execution!

This day is February 23rd in the tenth year of Wanli.

The Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun, who brought benevolence and peace to the Japanese land, began to accept the prisoner offering ceremony at the Meridian Gate at the Meridian Gate when Qi Jiguang, Ma Gui and others returned to Beijing to conquer the Japanese army.

Prior to this, the Ministry of War had reported Lubu, a more detailed call for victory, to Zhu Yijun.

The Ministry of Rites has issued a notice, informing civil and military officials to wear court uniforms and invite Lizheng or respected squires and old people from Fang (inside the city) Xiang (near the city) and Li (village) to participate in the ceremony of presenting prisoners.

In order to let all the subjects of the world know the prosperity of the country's martial arts and the contribution of the emperor's revival.

When Zhu Yijun came in the middle of the throne in front of the Chaowu Gate Tower, he saw the guards of honor on the east and west sides of the imperial road, and the guards of honor in splendid brocade clothes had already been laid out.

The Jiaofang Division, who is in charge of rites and music, also arranged great music on the east and west sides in the south of the guard of honor, and the bells and drums have been played.

A sense of majesty and grandeur has already rushed to my ears.

The two worship officials of Honglu Temple are also standing on the east and west sides.

Cheng Zhiguan also stood in front of the Meridian Gate facing west rather than east.

Xuan Zhiguan also stands in front of the Meridian Gate facing east rather than on the west side.

The civil and military ministers and the envoys of the various countries have been arranged in east and west rows on the south side of the imperial road in front of Zhu Yijun, with civil servants on the east side and military officials on the west side.

Zhu Yijun glanced at these ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys of the various tribes, and then looked at the big case on the east side of the Yudao, and there was a Xuanzhan official and a Zhanshi official behind the case, and a Jinxian officer was on the side of the case. At this time, Lubujin has also been dedicated to the case.

And in the back, there is the prisoner-offering officer arranged by the Ministry of Punishment, standing facing west, and the prisoner-offering general of the Japanese Army is opposite him, standing facing north.

When Zhu Yijun saw these generals of the Japanese conscript army, these generals escorted hundreds of Japanese prisoners to the Meridian Gate, and stood behind the military officer's shift.

Zhu Yijun also sat down at this time.

At that time, there began to be dedicated, publicized, and exhibited officials who offered Lubu to pay four salutes to Zhu Yijun, and under the command of the praise officer, dedicated, announced, and displayed Lubu.

Once these officials saluted, they started to play a piece of music, and then Zhu Yijun called out to flatten his body, and the music stopped.

Then, it was the offering of prisoners, and under the command of the tribute officer, according to this model, Qi Jiguang, Ma Gui and other generals who recruited Japanese began to offer prisoners.

And at this moment, Zhu Yijun saw the captured Matsuura Takanobu and other Japanese prisoners kneeling in front of him, bowing their heads on the ground, with their hands and feet handcuffed.

Because of this, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but straighten his chest even more, and with a sudden imperial arrogance, he looked at these Japanese prisoners with disdain.

At this time, Yan Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and the two servants of the Ministry of Justice came forward and knelt in front of the imperial road of the Meridian Gate.

Among them, Yan Qing began to face Zhu Yijun, and played to Zhu Yijun with a voice like a bell: "Shangshu Yanqing of the Ministry of Punishment, please send the Japanese pirates Matsuura Takanobu and Ling Chi to Shicao for execution, please order."

As usual, Zhu Yijun can order a pardon at this time.

But for the Japanese pirates, Zhu Yijun didn't intend to pardon them, he just said: "Take it!"

At that time, the red sun was high and the emperor was in full swing.

At this moment, the two rows of guards in Jinyi also shouted: "Take it!"

Because the Meridian Gate is a three-dimensional building, it has a very good sound-focusing effect, so after hundreds of Jinyiwei shouted together, it was like thunder and non-stop explosions. Matsuura Takanobu and other Japanese pirates were even more frightened and shivered.

Matsuura Takanobu also used the Japanese language, yelling begging for mercy with tears running down his cheeks.

He never thought that he would be punished by Daming for supporting Wang Zhikou to plunder the southeast of Daming many years ago.

Fortunately, he already felt that there would be no consequences because Ming Ting had never asked about this matter.

When Matsuura Takanobu was escorted to be tortured, Zhu Yijun returned to Fengtianmen to accept the congratulations from all the officials, and formally granted Qi Jiguang the Duke of Ji, as well as Yu Dayou and other meritorious officers and officers.

In addition, Zhu Yijun also ordered to build statues of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou in Hirado and Nagasaki, and requested that monuments be erected in the two ports to record the incident, so as to achieve the goal of eternally towning Haibo and calming the world's shipwreck, so that people who go to sea can rest assured to trade Purpose.

Zhu Yijun did this in order to further reduce the worries of the Han people all over the world about going to sea, and deliberately used the prestige of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou to let them take on the role of eliminating the fear of the sea for many Han people who were affected by the continental environment.

After all, in this era, famous generals and ministers still play a great role in psychological comfort to some ordinary people.

Otherwise, there would not be so many famous people's life shrines erected and worshiped by many people. Especially in the south, the biggest religious beliefs are not Buddhism and Taoism, but ancestors and famous people in Chinese history, such as Guan Gong Temple, Yuewang Temple or something.

As for accidents at sea in the future, there is no need to worry about the decline in the credibility of the statues of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. It can be explained that there are not enough statues on Kyushu Island, and they are not big enough, so they are not enough to restrain sea dragons and demon winds.

Then, on the first day of the next month, Zhu Yijun issued the "Edict to Conquer the Japanese" to the world, specifically summarizing the matter.

"The imperial edict said: I inherited Hong Xu, ruled Zhaoren, seas and mountains, all my sons and daughters, Gou Feiyuan is evil, and everyone wants to cover the waste. Those who belong to Dongyi are ugly, and they don't feel the kindness of the dynasty. Dare to raise difficulties, They invaded the southeast of me, slaughtered my people, plundered property and raped, committed all sorts of crimes, and even had a sneaky heart to spy on China... How can I tolerate it?! So sue the ancestral temple and send troops to question..."

On this day, Liu Quexian, who came to Beijing with Wang Changgeng, stood under the newsstand outside the Xishi Pailou Execution Ground, watched the edict and started to read it. He was refreshed for a while, like drinking nectar, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The walkers who stood behind him were all excited when they heard this.

"It turns out that the leader of the Japanese pirates was cut! It turns out that Wang Shi has already made his reputation overseas! Let's drink a few cups of him today!"

"Yu Qi and other generals are really brave. They led only [-] troops and beheaded [-] on Wa Island. You should drink a few cups of him!"

"This is really a sigh of relief. It's been more than two hundred years since I was bullied by Japanese slaves since the beginning of the country, and it's the first time I can go to his native land to ask for crimes! Drink him a few more cups!"

A few burly men who were good at drinking started to talk at this moment.

Wang Changgeng also couldn't help saying to Liu Quexian at this time: "Although I don't want to see it, I have to admit that when the emperor ascended the throne and let Jiangling be the country, he really showed his country's prestige. Let's have a few glasses of wine to celebrate. .”

"it is good!"

"Let's find a restaurant near here, and drink with the meat of Japanese pirates."

Liu Quexian said.

"Great! Be so proud!"

"It is rare to have such a grand event that has never been seen in this life."

Wang Changgeng hurriedly agreed.

For a while, all the taverns in the Xishi Pailou were full, and the price of wine was as high as the price of Japanese pirate meat.

Although the national consciousness in this era is not as strong as in modern times, it is not without it. The contradiction between Hua and Yi still exists, especially the hatred for Japanese pirates. For Ming Dynasty, not to mention that many coastal people in the south have gnashing hatred for this. Even the northerners know that the Japanese pirates are heinous and have greatly affected the peace of the world because of the fact that the Japanese pirates plundered the coast from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when it was learned that the imperial court had severely punished the Japanese slaves, brought the leader of the Japanese slaves back to Ling Chi, and killed tens of thousands of Japanese slaves, most of the Han people in the world, no matter what class they were in, were very happy about it.

After all, the victory of foreign wars does increase national cohesion and self-confidence.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of March in the tenth year of Wanli.

On this day, Princess Yongning officially married the Qi family.

Among the royal relatives, Zhu Yijun has the deepest relationship with his younger sister Yongning in this life.

There is no other reason. After Empress Dowager Li moved to the outer nunnery, Princess Yongning's nature was brought into play, without so many constraints, and much more lively and cute than in history. In addition, there is not much difference in age, so both Zhu Yijun and Queen Du liked it very much. In addition, as a time traveler, Zhu Yijun instinctively paid more attention to her, who was one of the tragic figures in the early Wanli period in history.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun rewarded Yongning with a lot of dowry.

All civil and military officials will also follow the emperor's attitude to express their attitudes, so on the day of Yongning's wedding, there are so many dignitaries who come to celebrate, the British Duke in Wuxun, Zhang Juzheng, the head of civil servants, etc. all come to celebrate.

Princess Yongning's married life is naturally leisurely and comfortable. After all, she is a prosperous princess, and her consort is no longer a sick child. She is also the son of a general. She has also been educated and has both civil and military skills. Reliable people are just not familiar with each other.

But a few days after the marriage, on a rainy night with rolling spring thunder, Yongning saw his son-in-law Qi Xingguo lying on the window sill watching Lei, so he asked, "Does Lei look as good as me?"

Qi Xingguo said: "Returning to Your Highness, the minister is investigating things. Ge, what is the sky thunder? Can it be used by the royal master of this dynasty to destroy the enemy? If the power of this sky thunder can be borrowed to use for the country's prestige, it must be Huge!" Prisoners are even more afraid to spy on the Central Plains, right?"

"My emperor brother said that this thunder and lightning is generated by the collision of clouds, and we can also use magnetism to generate electricity."

Yongning replied.

Qi Xingguo turned his head: "Why does Your Majesty say that?"

"Of course I don't know. The emperor just said at the family banquet that King Zheng said that more convenient communication and transportation are the types of skills that Ming needs to strengthen and innovate the most."

After Yongning said that, he walked over and smiled at Qi Xingguo: "However, we can try to do what he said."

So, in the following, the two were only obsessed with this matter, and gradually became acquainted with each other and became attached to each other because of it.
