Chapter 114 Violation of Discipline
The resistance in the whole city of Beijing is very weak. Even some civil and military officials loyal to the Ming Dynasty, when they see the doors open and a large number of large and medium-sized troops entering the city, they also know that it is meaningless to resist. Except for more people who have died, it is no longer possible for them to keep the Ming Dynasty, so many soldiers and generals in the city are different. Fen put down his weapons and was disarmed by the Dazhong Army. He was quickly escorted outside the capital and detained in the original three battalions outside the capital.
In this way, the chaos that Xiao Tianjian worried about did not last long in the city. After only three days of clean-up, the Dazhong army completely controlled the situation in Beijing.
The Dazhong Army is different from the Dashun Army that beat Beijing in history. The most fundamental difference between the two armies is in terms of military discipline. Although it is undeniable that there are also some soldiers in the Dazhong Army who can't control themselves. After entering Beijing, there are some things such as robbing jie**, and there are also some soldiers and small thieves. By the way, I secretly hid something, but on the whole, the military discipline of the Dazhong Army is still a hundred times stronger than that of the Dashun Army who entered Beijing in history.
So even if something happens that does not comply with military discipline, it is very small and mostly carried out in secret, which does not cause greater riots.
What's more, as soon as Xiao Tianjian entered the city, the general's gendarmes immediately spread to all parts of the city to supervise the large and medium-sized soldiers. Under the strict order of Lu Xiangsheng, these gendarmes faithfully implemented Xiao Tianjian's will, and immediately arrested a group of Hu's soldiers in the city and detained them alone. A place to wait for disposal.
So after the gendarmes began to control all parts of the city, this kind of chaos, which was already rare, was quickly suppressed, so that there was no larger-scale chaos in Beijing.
With a group of Ming soldiers put down their weapons and were taken out of the city, the order in Beijing began to recover quickly. In addition, during the period of martial law, no one was allowed to go to the street without permission. Even some homeless beggars were also under centralized care. The whole capital was early on the fourth morning of the fourth day after the Dazhong army entered Beijing. It's calm.
Xiao Tianjian temporarily moved into the Forbidden City under the persuasion of the generals and ministers, but according to his instructions, with his current situation, there was no need for such a large Forbidden City, so he left the Wuying Hall as his temporary director in the Forbidden City, and the rest of the palaces were closed. Come on.
And the eunuch maids in the palace were basically dismissed, but because some eunuchs and maids had nowhere to go at this time, at Lu Xiangsheng's suggestion, Xiao Tianjian had to temporarily leave these eunuch maids in the palace to take care of the Forbidden City, and take time to consider their arrangements in the future. Things.
Looking at the list of internal money submitted by Liu Yao, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help sighing. It was not until he finished reading this list that the historical issue of the amount of money in Chongzhen was completely understood by Xiao Tianjian.
Although Xiao Tianjian entered Beijing nearly three years earlier than Li Zicheng in history, and Chongzhen's internal consumption was not as much as in history, Xiao Tianjian still found that Chongzhen was not a stingy emperor. Among his money, Liu Yao led people to only copied 800,000 taels of silver and 170,000 taels. Gold, compared with what some people said in later generations, has more than 30 million taels of silver in his money, which is really a big difference, but it is more than what some people say, which is only more than 100,000 taels. For Emperor Chongzhen, this inventory is really not too much! After all, he saved it and still wanted to stick to it for a longer time. Unfortunately, he saved it so much. In the end, the rest of the yellow and white thing was cheaply given to Xiao Tianjian.
"Holy King! This Ming emperor has searched for people's fat and people's ointment for all generations. After 300 years, he actually hid such a little bit of silver. Is it really... Will this Chongzhen transfer the gold and silver treasures before his death? Liu Yao couldn't accept it. In the huge internal warehouse, only so little gold and silver were found out, so he said to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Anyway, Chongzhen has tried his best for his country. After so many years of consumption, the huge amount of money left by his ancestors has basically been consumed by him. Some people say that there are tens of millions of taels of silver in his money, which is actually just a conjum. That's all! Chongzhen should not transfer his money. These gold and silver can basically be said to be all he has left!"
Li Xin is also a little annoyed. Although he is a military figure, he also knows that China has not been newly established, and there are still many places that have not been taken down. There will be quite a long time in the future, and he will continue to use troops. Now the Dazhong army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Every month, it is only military pay, that is Astronomical figures, coupled with the need to equip the soldiers with various armor and military tents, as well as a large number of ammunition and countless materials, is a heavy burden for the newly built China!
After decades of war in China, people's livelihood has already withered. After Xiao Tianjian founded the People's Republic of China, he has to clean up the rivers and mountains. In the future, there will be hundreds of wastes to wait for prosperity, and there are places to spend money everywhere. Originally, this time when they went north, they all wanted to win the Daming Jingshi and got a large amount of money, which could at least alleviate the financial side. The pressure on the surface, but I didn't want to toss it down, but I only got such a little gold and silver in the inner treasury of the palace. This silver is not enough for their military expenditure during this period of the Northern Expedition. How can it meet their military expenditure in the future? Not to mention reorganize the rivers and mountains! So after Li Xin learned about it, he was a little discouraged.
After Xiao Tianjian put down this list, he smiled indifferently and asked the generals, "Is it a little discouraged to know that Chongzhen only has such a little family background left?"
The generals did not hide it. They even nodded and said yes. Diao Zheng even scolded Chongzhen as a fool. The huge wealth accumulated by Daming was tossed away by him, and he didn't even give Jiannu anything!
But at this time, Lu Xiangsheng walked into the Wuying Hall with a bad face. After giving Xiao Tianjian a gift, he immediately submitted a list to Xiao Tianjian.
After Xiao Tianjian glanced at it, his face suddenly sank. After looking down at the whole list, he suddenly became furious. He slapped the big case and said angrily, "Is this all?"
Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "Exactly! This is the list that has just been counted by various gendarmerie brigades. After entering the city, all the people who violate military discipline have been counted! There are a total of five hundred and seventy-two people, and now they have been detained!"
As soon as the generals heard this, they knew that it was not good. After Lu Xiang was promoted to Beijing, he was ordered by Xiao Tianjian to lead the gendarmerie to maintain the military discipline of the Beijing Division. Who is Lu Xiangsheng? What does the gendarmerie do? Of course, they all know very well that these people are all selfless people and attach great importance to military discipline. Needless to say, the list submitted today must be the list of disciplinary generals arrested in the past few days. Now they are good-looking! So they all shrugged their heads down immediately.
Xiao Tianjian took this list with a cold face and said, "After entering Beijing, there were 42 cases of robbing people's wealth in each department, and there were 37 cases of people's women, and there were also 236 people who stole and seized property! All right! Humph! Well done! One is more energetic than the other! On weekdays, I repeatedly emphasize military discipline! But is that how you led the troops for me? Is it possible that all the soldiers in my army are all bandits?
There are 178 disciplinary soldiers in the first town, 213 disciplinary soldiers in the second town, 79 disciplinary soldiers in the second division, and disciplinary soldiers in the fourth town...
Hum! Well done!"
Listening to Xiao Tianjian's sneer and the numbers he read, the generals' faces also darkened, because they knew very well that before Xiao Tianjian entered Beijing this time, he had issued a decree to strictly order all the generals of the army to strictly restrain their subordinates and not to mess around after entering Beijing. They were also deeply convinced of this. After all, this is Daming. In the political center, there are nearly one million people in the city. It is not the time for the Dazhong Army to start a fight. They have to live by robbing Jie. Even when the Xing Tianjun attacked the city and land at the beginning, they have strict requirements for capturing people. It is necessary to seize and confiscate, not to mention to stabilize the north. This time, they went north and stopped messing around as much as possible, and the military discipline requirements were much stricter.
For this entry into Beijing, Xiao Tianjian made it clear in advance that no one will make unified arrangements after controlling the capital. However, some of them still couldn't help doing so many disciplinary things and arrested more than 500 people at once. How can this not make Xiao Tianjian angry?
So the generals did not dare to neglect and immediately plead guilty one after another, but Xiao Tianjian was still angry. He pointed to them and asked, "Although the military pay to the generals is not too much, compared with Daming, have I ever deducted the military pay of any of you? Even if there was occasional delay, it was soon given a replacement, and there was never a three-month arrears of military wages! But what did your men do?
What is the purpose of our uprising to create the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty? Just to enrich your own pocket? Just to satisfy our selfish desires? No matter what you initially followed me to rebel against, for so many years, I have made it clear to you that we rebelled to save the world and to revive our Han nation!
And what are your men thinking? It really chills me that you bring out such soldiers! What should we do? Go down and think about it yourself! I'll let you deal with this matter by yourself!"
The generals had no light on their faces, and they were swearing in their hearts one by one. None of them dared to scold Xiao Tianjian, but they scolded those who had lost all their men. Although Xiao Tianjian let them deal with it by themselves at this time, how dare they cheated?
So the generals quickly said that they would deal with it seriously and would never be tolerated! Xiao Tianjian put this matter down for the time being.
