In the hottest hour of the afternoon, the civil and military ministers discussed matters in front of the Rouyi Hall, but did not fully reach a consensus.Because Zhu Gaoxu did not make a clear statement.
The nobles shouted and fought and killed without any accident, and they were very much looking forward to such a war.
When some generals learned that something happened in Annan Kingdom, they were so excited that they were so angry that they were secretly happy.
The victory of the war can give the generals more voice in the court; and military merits are the only reliable way for each general to establish his own status and fame.
The Dukes and Mausoleums all volunteered.
He Fu, Liu Sheng and others patted their chests and said, "The immortal traitors came to see each other; they probably just hope to consolidate their current status through military merits."
Zhang Fu also wanted to lead the troops because he was a descendant of Zhang Yu, and he wanted to accumulate military merits, waiting for the next opportunity to move closer to the center of power and return to the position of Duke.
Qiu Fu and Mu Sheng also competed fiercely. The two men had high enough titles, but they obviously wanted to win the true respect of the soldiers.If it is not proved through war, it will not work.
Civil officials were cautious about the Annan War, but most of them did not oppose the increase in Annan; they only had opinions on the scale and goal of the battle.
In the current situation, Chen Jikuo's people despise the court and intend to murder the Ming envoy, which is related to the prestige of the court.Moreover, the Annan Governor's Office reported that the rebels wanted to siege the East Pass on a large scale.
There are as many as 80,000 military households, as well as many officials and Han families in the East Pass, and officials dare not make any claims to ignore them; it is difficult to express the proposal to retreat quickly. After all, Annan Kingdom is a territory established by the Yongle Dynasty, and it is always not good to give up the prodigal son's behavior of giving up his ancestral property.
Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Revenue, made a lot of complaints, while some officials kept silent.Only the Minister of War Qi Tai and the Minister of Works Ru Hui made clear claims.
Qi Tai believed that the situation in Annan Kingdom at the beginning of Yongle was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and that the government army could occupy the right time, place and people, so that the war could be quickly ended.
But the situation has changed now. If a large army advances, it may be difficult to fight and decide quickly.
Reinforcements should be sent at this time to defeat the rebels' intention to encircle in the plains around the East Gate, and strive to start war only during the dry season.
This active and defensive strategy has been supported by Ru Yi.
Zhu Gaoxu did not make a decision on the same day, and made an order to choose a cemetery in Jiangning County, build a tomb for the dead soldiers, and bury those people with great burial; and asked the Governor's Office of the Five Army to record their names and records them in the list of meritorious soldiers, and to provide pensions to their families according to military laws.
Then Zhu Gaoxu asked the Ministry of War to mobilize soldiers from the Beijing camp to inspect the army at the large colony.
...A few days later, the court officials arranged the inspection ceremony on the large campus outside Zhengyang Gate.
The Ministry of War reported that tens of thousands of soldiers were mobilized to carry out this ceremony.When Zhu Gaoxu recalled, he had inspected the army twice in total, including this time, the last time was in Yunnan.
He hopes that through this military parade, he will inspire the Chinese officials in the court and let both internal and external vassals support his war.
Zhu Gaoxu wore the emperor's formal military uniform and leather suit, with a bright red robe, and the deer-skin hat was decorated with a bronze nail in the armor; these characteristics probably symbolize the military uniform.
There is also a jade pendant hanging on the ribbon, which is also an accessory for such occasions, with four words engraved on it: Defeat the crime and fight against rebellion.
The civil and military officials of the court, the established Annan king Chen Zhengyuan, the queen Chen family, and several foreign envoys who had not left the capital, followed Zhu Gaoxu to outside Zhengyang Gate.Zhu Gaoxu also brought his eldest son Zhanhe with him.
A child who is a few years old should know very little, but when he grows up, he will remember some scenes and have an impact on his future temperament and ideas.After all, Zhu Gaoxu also grew up, and he has such experience.
The umbrellas, covers, flags and plaques on the campus were of great honor, and the etiquette was carried out as usual, but only some of the soldiers on the parade looked strange.
There were a group of officers and soldiers on the school ground, wearing newly-launched military dresses from the court and carrying a newly-built musket Chunhan.
In the eyes of the ministers, this scene should be a change in Hu clothing, riding and shooting.
But when Zhu Gaoxu saw the officers and soldiers wearing big-brimmed hats and holding muskets, he immediately felt the atmosphere of a modern army.
At present, the essence of the Ming army has not changed much, but at least it looks like that.
Zhu Gaoxu walked under the umbrella set up by the Jinyiwei and sat down on the chair.
The soldiers like a sea of people saluted to the superiors and shouted long live.
At this time, the musicians of the Jiaofangsi played the majestic music of bells and drums, and all the civil and military officials also went forward to worship.
Tens of thousands of people gathered on the school ground, and it seemed that the formation was very large, and various flags were floating in the air, as if clouds were surging.
Although there are guard posts around the school grounds, it still cannot stop the people in the city who like to watch the fun from coming, and people are watching from afar.
Soon the dancing men walked onto the stage, with dozens of people wearing colorful clothes, holding props such as lacquer poles, lacquer axes, and shields, and began to dance on it.
Some people sang in unison in the music: Draw the sword and start the Huai land, and ride the horse to determine the Huai area.The king's aura opens the heavenly throne, and the treasure dynasty is in harmony.Wu Lei Wen Mo, the beginning of the business of the dragon and tiger.The general's star circles the barbarian, the warrior's moon curves the arc...
The dance is not very good, but the props and movements are all symbolic, not only for people to see, but also for echoing the heavens.
So the ministers around them all watched the song and dance with a solemn expression.
There were several music and dance performances, and officials expressed their congratulations and etiquette was also performed several times.
Zhan He, wearing a small red robe, sat next to Zhu Gaoxu, but the child seemed to be a little unable to sit still. The eunuchs nearby kept persuading and correcting his sitting posture.
At this moment, the official from the Honglu Temple bowed and stepped forward and said, "I want the emperor to give me a lecture."The eunuch from the Silijian walked to Zhu Gaoxu and bent down and said, "The emperor just told the guards that he had the people from the Jinyiwei."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Jinyiwei soldiers standing at a distance on the school grounds, and understood that this was like uploading an imperial edict in Fengtian Hall; people would repeat the will and pass it on one by one.
However, Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything. After a while, he slapped the handrail with both hands, stood up and walked straight to the side of the dance stage.The civil and military officials looked at each other, but no one went to stop the emperor.
The soldiers on the school ground looked up and said that most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp were officers and soldiers who followed Zhu Gaoxu to fight in civil war, and occasionally they could see a few familiar people.
Zhu Gaoxu looked around and spoke loudly: When Emperor Shun of the Five Emperors was reigned, the Miao tribe was dissatisfied with the central government and raised an army to provoke.The crown prince Yu, chosen by Emperor Shun, suggested sending troops to attack...
He said a word, then paused for a while, waiting for the officers and soldiers of the Jinyiwei in the distance to repeat his words.
At this time, Shun said, "No, if the monarch does not first cultivate virtue, he will start a war," it is not a righteous act.So Shun asked the soldiers of the Huaxia clan to dance with their weapons to the place occupied by Miao, and to help them persuade Miao.So he did not shed blood and sacrifice, and Miao retreated and surrendered to Shun.(Han Feizi, Wuzhu)
In the early years of Yongle, the Hu family of Annan usurped power and implemented tyranny in Annan Kingdom, shattered the ground and killed innocent people, invaded Guangxi and other places, and the people were in dire straits.
The scholars and people from Annan went to Beijing to ask for an order, asking the royal army to enter Annan to quell the riots.
Emperor Taizong is kind to his virtue and mercy and sent troops to fight against rebellion. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fought for justice, and how many people were not in their bodies?
The Hu family was destroyed, and Chen Jikuo, a native of Annan, forged his identity as a royal family, raised an army to rebel, and killed innocent people every day.
Some ministers advised me to use troops to attack. When I thought of Shun's virtue, I sent envoys to seek peace and negotiations to avoid war.
However, Chen Ji expanded the rioters and even trampled on my good intentions and slaughtered all the envoys without reason, only Liu Ming survived!
The school ground gradually became noisy, and soon shouts came everywhere, and the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation.The dignified central dynasty and powerful Ming Empire are so aggrieved?The soldiers couldn't bear it.
Emperor Taizong actually felt that God gave him a good opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to open up the territory. Zhu Gaoxu was also very interested in the fertile grain on the Annan Plain, which of course was not the focus.
After all, in the Ming Dynasty, morality and righteousness were supreme.
Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand and gestured down, and the noise in front and behind gradually subsided.
He continued to say loudly: The court has established ethics, morality, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness, but now it has been trampled on. We should ensure that these rules are effective, and we should judge the crimes of those traitors and seek justice for innocent soldiers who were killed and loyal to their country!Justice will help God!
Countless soldiers shouted excitedly again, and under the guidance of some generals, there were shouts one after another to seek justice!Justice helps God... The shouts seem to resound throughout the capital.
The people watching from afar were also affected, and many people were vaguely waving their arms and making noise.
Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked towards his seat, and he found that the civil servants did not say anything.Although his words can be recognized by the military and civilians, they seem to be unable to control the judgement of officials, and most people know it.
However, the call for war has obviously been recognized by countless military and civilians, and it is difficult for court officials to change their public opinion. They should all recognize Zhu Gaoxu's decision.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said to the officials standing on both sides of the imperial throne: When we consider our own needs and benefits, we must also have a truly convincing morality.
All the ministers bowed and agreed.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly asked in a tender voice: Father, which one should you choose?
Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised and stunned for a moment.The officials also looked at Zhanhe, and many people were waiting for Zhu Gaoxu's answer with interest.Even Queen Chen turned his head.
But there are some words that cannot be said in public, and if they say them, they will slap them in the face.The boy really asked a difficult question.
Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment and said kindly to Zhanhe: The needs of our Ming Dynasty are moral in themselves.
Zhanhe raised his head and said: Why?
Zhu Gaoxu said: Because our monarch and ministers have correct qualities, what we want to do is always just.Zhanhe will understand when he grows up.
Zhanhe glared at his eyes and finally nodded: Yes, Father.
The nobles shouted and fought and killed without any accident, and they were very much looking forward to such a war.
When some generals learned that something happened in Annan Kingdom, they were so excited that they were so angry that they were secretly happy.
