Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

After a while.

The Tatar army suffered more than half its casualties. As far as the eye could see, the battlefield was littered with the corpses of the Tatar soldiers. It could be said that after this battle, the Tatar army had completely collapsed.

The massacres perpetrated by the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards were far from over.

nowadays.

Whether it's the Pterodactyl Army, the Velociraptor Army, or the Imperial Guard, they have completely surrounded the Tatar army. It can be said that these tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers have nowhere to retreat.

At this moment, Dorgon, the regent of the Tartar army, was also completely panicked.

original.

Dorgon believed that his Tartar army could stand up to the Ming army, but now it is clear that Dorgon's army is no match for the Ming Empire's army.

They didn't even have the strength to fight a single battle.

Especially after the Pterodactyl Army, the Velociraptor Army, and the Ming Dynasty's red-coated cannons joined the battlefield, the Tartar army was completely defeated, powerless to fight back, and could only flee in haste.

Dorgon's face was ashen as he watched the Tartar soldiers fleeing to the rear. He knew very well that the Tartar army had no chance of winning.

As the saying goes, a defeated army collapses like a house of cards.

Once the frontline soldiers start fleeing, it will affect the soldiers following behind, and then the entire army. The Tatar army has lost all morale.

All they wanted was to escape as quickly as possible.

"Hold them off for me!"

"Anyone who disobeys military orders and retreats without permission will be dealt with according to military law!"

Dorgon kept shouting from behind the army.

But clearly, these Tartar soldiers were like defeated troops, completely disobeying Dorgon's orders.

"The Regent!"

"We are no longer capable of fighting; let's retreat immediately!"

"This... the Ming Dynasty's army is too powerful!"

The Tatar army's deputy commander shouted hoarsely to Dorgon, believing that if they continued to fight the Ming Dynasty head-on, the Tatar army would be completely annihilated.

Even Dorgon will die in battle.

but.

Dorgon, however, still did not choose to retreat.

Dorgon still possessed a certain ability to lead troops into battle. When he saw the army fleeing in such a rout, he knew very well that if he also ordered a retreat, then the Tatar army would be completely disintegrated by the Ming Dynasty.

at this point.

Dorgon had no way out and could only grit his teeth and launch a full-scale attack.

"Kill them!"

"If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!"

Dorgon also decided to risk his life and fight the Ming Empire's Imperial Guard to the death.

He personally led five hundred personal guards, charging headlong towards the Ming imperial guards. Unfortunately, just as Dorgon decided to fight to the death, the sound of cannons suddenly came from afar.

That's right.

The Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards launched another round of artillery attacks.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

moment.

A barrage of shells rained down in front of Dorgon.

With a deafening explosion, the cannonballs rained down on the area around Dorgon.

In a short time.

A large number of his personal guards were killed in the explosion. Dorgon was also injured by shrapnel and immediately fell off his horse.

After the Tartar army saw Dorgon fall from his horse, their morale completely collapsed...

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty imperial guards frantically slaughtered Dorgon's army. In less than half an hour, the once massive Tartar army of 100,000 was completely annihilated.

even.

Dorgon and some members of the Manchu royal family were also captured alive by the Imperial Guards.

a few days later.

Inside the main hall of the Ming Dynasty capital.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Ying sat on this throne, and in front of them were the Tartar royal family members who were bound hand and foot, as well as the regent Dorgon.

At this moment.

Dorgon was covered in wounds and was almost half-dead from torture.

Beside Dorgon was Emperor Shunzhi, Fulin.

"Dorgon, how dare you collude with Wu Sangui and try to move into the interior of China! Do you know your crime?"

In this grand hall, Zhu Youjian, the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, loudly rebuked Dorgon.

Dorgon glared fiercely at Chongzhen, then immediately cursed, "Chongzhen! You're really lucky! Li Zicheng's army of hundreds of thousands of men didn't kill you!"

to be frank.

Dorgon believed that Emperor Chongzhen had already been killed by Li Zicheng, which is why he dared to collude with Wu Sangui, the general of Shanhaiguan, in an attempt to seize the Central Plains.

But now.

The fact that the Ming Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, was standing in front of him undoubtedly puzzled Dorgon.

Zhu Youjian glanced at the three people on the throne above, then turned to Dorgon and said, "Dorgon, with the protection of our ancestors, I am naturally able to turn danger into safety!"

"However, you won't have that kind of luck. You're going to die today!"

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen (Zhu Youjian) finished speaking, Dorgon raised his head. Only then did Dorgon realize that Emperor Chongzhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was not sitting on the dragon throne.

At this moment, the three people sitting on the dragon throne were people that Dorgon had never seen before.

This immediately plunged Dorgon into confusion once again.

Dorgon shouted at the three people on the throne, "Who...who are you?!"

"Why do you dare to sit on this dragon throne!"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang and the others could speak, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, preemptively said, "Dorgon, are you scared now? Let me tell you, these three are Emperor Hongwu, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and grandson of Emperor Zhu Xiong Ying!"

To be fair, when Dorgon heard the names of these three people, an incredulous expression once again appeared on his face.

"How is this possible..."

"Hongwu Emperor? Zhu Yuanzhang! Wasn't he dead long ago?!"

"And Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiong Ying, those two are long dead! How could they possibly be alive!"

Although Dorgon was a Tartar, he was quite knowledgeable about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, he was well aware of the deeds of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Xiong Ying.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly spoke, "Dorgon, you are merely the regent of a vassal state, yet you dare to try to seize the throne of our Great Ming Dynasty. You are simply overestimating yourself!"

"Someone come here!"

"Immediately, Dorgon and the Tartar emperor Fulin will all be torn apart by five horses!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, more than a dozen imperial guards immediately dragged Dorgon and Fulin outside the palace. Then, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, Dorgon and Fulin were torn apart by five horses.

Of course, the Manchu royal relatives and nobles were also executed!
…… that's all.

The Tartars outside the Great Wall were completely wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, and all their people were slaughtered, leaving not a single one alive.

"Xiong Ying deserves immense credit for quelling the chaos in the Central Plains and slaughtering the Tartars so quickly!" After executing Dorgon, Zhu Yuanzhang began to reward his meritorious officials.

Among them, the greatest contributor was naturally the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Ying.

However, for Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, he could no longer bestow any higher honors upon Zhu Ying.

After all, Zhu Ying had become the de facto ruler of the Ming Empire.

Zhu Yinglai was responsible for everything, from military operations and personnel management to policy formulation.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were more like mascots of the Ming Dynasty. They completely trusted Zhu Ying and were quite supportive of him.

“Grandfather, we are all family, there’s no need to be so polite.”

Zhu Ying continued, "In this campaign to quell the rebellion in the Central Plains and to massacre the Tartars, many mid-level officers of the Imperial Guards fought bravely."

"I have already memorized your names, and I will naturally reward you handsomely during the year-end court assembly."

When Zhu Ying finished speaking, all the generals of the Imperial Guards in the hall were naturally quite excited.

In an instant.

All the officials thanked Zhu Ying.

"Your Highness, I thank you. Long live Your Highness!"

after that.

Zhu Ying continued, "Of course, it wasn't just the generals of the Imperial Guards who fought bravely; many generals from the Chongzhen era also demonstrated unwavering loyalty."

“People like Li Guozhen and Long Wenguang, the governor of Sichuan, fought to the last moment. I will also reward these generals who shed blood for the Ming Dynasty.”

After the rewarding of meritorious service was completed, the next step was to formulate national policies.

After all, the Ming Dynasty at the end of its reign was already riddled with problems.

Although Zhu Ying forcibly suppressed the rebellion by force, it was only a temporary solution. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to remain prosperous forever, the people needed to live and work in peace and contentment.

Therefore, the implementation of national policies is naturally of utmost importance.

"Grandfather, Father, I believe that the Ming Dynasty should strictly implement national policies that benefit the country and its people."

"Only by ensuring that the people live and work in peace and contentment can the Ming Dynasty truly achieve lasting stability and prosperity."

Upon hearing what Zhu Ying said, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao naturally gave their full support.

"Very good!"

"Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty truly become powerful in this world!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who was sitting next to him, immediately said, "We can directly implement the advanced technologies of our world in the Ming Dynasty of this world."

"For example, steam engines, railways, and the Royal Bank, etc."

Zhu Ying nodded and continued, "That's right. However, these technologies will naturally be distributed to the Ming Dynasty in this world. But the most important thing is still food."

"The reason why peasant uprisings broke out in the Ming Dynasty in this world is mainly because too many people are starving, and the Zhu family imperial relatives own too much land, which exacerbates the contradictions."

"These all need to be handled step by step."

after that.

Zhu Ying said to Guo Zhen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, "Immediately procure a large amount of grain from the Ming Empire and transport it to this world through the [Space Portal]."

"The most urgent task is to ensure that people have enough to eat."

"Only when all the people in the world have enough to eat will there be no uprising."

"In addition, the fiefdoms of these royal relatives should be drastically reduced, and the land should be handed over to the people. At the same time, miscellaneous taxes should be abolished!"

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian.

Although Zhu Youjian had been diligent and conscientious since ascending the throne, and had tried his best to save the Ming Dynasty from collapse, to be honest, Zhu Youjian's abilities were really terrible.

If Zhu Youjian had continued to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty would not have made any significant progress.

and so.

Zhu Ying said directly to Zhu Youjian, "Although you have always been diligent in handling state affairs, your abilities are limited and you are simply not qualified to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

“From this moment on, you are no longer the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.”

Zhu Ying said coldly.

When Emperor Chongzhen (Zhu Youjian) heard these words, he did not object, showing a remarkably calm attitude.

After all, Zhu Youjian was not the heir to the Ming throne from the beginning.

However, Zhu Youjian's elder brother, the Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao, was so obsessed with carpentry that he had no children, so Zhu Youjian had to become emperor.

And now.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and even Zhu Xiong Ying are all still alive.

Naturally, the emperors of this world are still the three of them.

To be more precise, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who took on the role.

"I obey!"

"Our ancestor Taizu was a man of both literary and military prowess, and the founding father of the Ming Dynasty. It is only natural that he should be the emperor! Your subject has no complaints!"

This was what Zhu Youjian said from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, your attitude is quite humble."

"Although you will no longer be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I will not let you be sad. I will reward you with a lot of gold and silver treasures, so that you can be a leisurely prince and enjoy wealth and honor."

just.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Youjian quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I still wish to do something for the Ming Dynasty. I do not desire a life of ease, wealth, and glory!"

To be fair, Zhu Youjian did have a heart devoted to the country and its people.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang and others very pleased.

"Since you don't want to indulge in pleasure, then we'll give you two choices. You can come back to this Great Ming Realm with us and take up an official position, or you can stay in this world and help with government affairs."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Youjian immediately said, "Reporting to Emperor Hongwu, your subject wishes to remain in this world to assist Your Majesty in handling state affairs!"

"The Ming Dynasty in the main world, with Emperor Hongwu, His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Imperial Grandson, must be a powerful nation. There is no need for me to offer any advice or strategies."

"But the Ming Dynasty in this world is still riddled with problems and in dire need of rebuilding. Sun Chen wants to do his part for this world."

This is absolutely what Emperor Chongzhen truly felt.

For Zhu Youjian, the emperor was merely a title; more than that, he hoped to bring a better life to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, whether Zhu Youjian became emperor or not is not important; what is important is that the Ming Dynasty can prosper.

After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally agreed to Zhu Youjian's request.

after all.

Although Zhu Youjian's abilities were average, he was diligent in his duties and had a pure and innocent heart, which was quite important.

In addition, Zhu Youjian had been emperor for several years, so he had a good understanding of the Ming Dynasty.

"it is good!"

"In that case, you shall continue to reside in the palace and assist us in handling the affairs of this world!"

"I thank Emperor Hongwu! Please rest assured, Emperor Hongwu, I will certainly work diligently and live up to your expectations!" Zhu Youjian said hurriedly.
