It was just the clearance of the imperial farms, but the content included was quite detailed. No wonder Liu Lishun found it profound after reading it and could not understand all its profound meanings.
"Your Majesty has put a lot of thought into this," Wen Anzhi said with deep emotion. "I can see some echoes of Zhang Jiangling's new policies in this: the unification of taxes and labor service."
Liu Lishun nodded, then shook his head, saying, "But it's not exactly the same. For example, if we can levy taxes based on physical goods, wouldn't the transportation and storage costs increase? It's not as convenient as levying taxes in silver."
"This..." Wen Anzhi blinked and said uncertainly, "Your Majesty must have considered this and can solve this problem."
Liu Lishun looked at Wen Anzhi and couldn't help laughing. He pointed at Wen Anzhi and said, "Ruzhi, you..."
A burst of rapid horse hoofbeats rang out outside the teahouse, along with unclear shouts, causing everyone who was talking to turn their heads in confusion.
Who is so bold as to gallop on horseback in the capital? Doesn’t he know how the emperor will deal with those playboys from noble families?
"Liaodong—great victory?" Wen Anzhi listened attentively and repeated uncertainly.
Liu Lishun looked carefully, his eyes suddenly flashed, he stood up and ran to the window.
The sound of horse hooves came from afar, surprisingly fast, and the shouts also reached my ears clearly and loudly.
"A great victory in Liaodong, over ten thousand enemies killed!"
"A great victory in Liaodong, over ten thousand enemies killed!"
The knights on two fast horses carried documents on their backs, shouted loudly, and galloped away like a whirlwind in the blink of an eye.
"A great victory in Liaodong!" Liu Lishun turned around, his face flushed with excitement. "That means Guangning was victorious, a victory!"
"Over ten thousand enemies killed!" Wen Anzhi nodded vigorously, grinning until his mouth was broken. "Since the Eastern Tartars rebelled, this is an unprecedented victory!"
"We have won. Our Ming Dynasty has triumphed over the Eastern Tartars."
"Hahahaha, the thieves have finally been defeated after several years. Now they know that China has its people."
"When the truth comes out, congratulations to our great Ming Dynasty."
"To celebrate the Ming Dynasty, I will drink heavily tonight and will not go home until I am drunk."
The restaurant was immediately filled with laughter and joy. Both the tribute scholars and the common people were immersed in excitement and joy.
The news spread quickly, and by the time the tribute scholars walked out of the teahouse and headed for the hotel, the streets were already filled with people talking excitedly and beaming with joy.
This is the most sincere feeling from the heart. I don’t feel it at ordinary times, but when I hear that the country has won, the excitement and excitement arise spontaneously.
There is no home without a country. Ordinary people are busy with their lives and will not talk about patriotism every day. Perhaps they do not feel in their hearts how important the country is to them.
But when he heard about defeat after defeat, he couldn't help feeling discouraged and angry; but when he suddenly heard about a great victory, he couldn't help feeling happy and wanted to drink to his heart's content.
This is the patriotism that is so simple that we don’t usually notice it.
According to historical records, when Guangning was besieged, the whole country was in an uproar. When the news of Guangning's victory was reported, the people of the capital celebrated in the streets...
"I... damn, I finally won." The young emperor jumped up from the imperial chair when he heard Wang Tigan's shouting outside.
Fortunately, there were only Liu Ruoyu and Zhang Yuer in the hall, and, well, a cat.
After glancing at the swearing emperor, the two men tactfully lowered their heads. "I saw nothing, I heard nothing."
"Your Majesty, we won a great victory in Liaodong!" Wang Tigan ran into the hall, held up the victory report, smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close, and took small steps towards the emperor.
Well, it's time for you, my slave, to practice your hip-hop knee slides.
The young emperor took two steps forward, snatched the victory report from Wang Tigan's hand, opened it and read it.
To be honest, when the gate was opened, Zhu Youxiao was a little nervous, worried that it would be a "Ningyuan Victory" in history. Guangning was held, but Youtunwei was lost.
"Good!" After a quick glance, Zhu Youxiao was completely relieved and praised from the bottom of his heart before sitting back in the imperial chair and reading it carefully.
After the Later Jin army retreated, Xiong Tingbi was still very cautious. He sent out scouts to conduct repeated reconnaissance and confirmed that the enemy was not feigning a retreat. He then sent people to check on the situation of Youtunwei.
After the whole situation was fully understood, Xiong Tingbi wrote a memorial to report the victory and asked people to go to Juehua Island first, take a boat to Tianjin and land, and then report to the capital urgently.
Over 10,000 Jiannu soldiers were killed or wounded, and some bodies were looted. Guangning City and Youtunwei captured a total of 2,473 heads.
The water content is not large, and it is completely within the acceptable range. There is no mention of injuring the leader of the Jiannu army, and thinking of blindly killing a short-lived ghost.
Zhu Youxiao finally let out a long sigh, venting all the worries, concerns and anxieties he had been carrying for the past few days. Great joy and excitement surged throughout his body, and he had to suppress it with all his strength to prevent himself from jumping up and down and dancing wildly.
"Who delivered the letter announcing victory?" Zhu Youxiao asked in a deep voice, "Did he come all the way from Guangning City?"
"Your Majesty, it's Gou Zhenhuai, a captain of the Imperial Guards from the Governor's Office!" Wang Ti said with a dry laugh, "Your Majesty has summoned him before."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Xuan Gouzhen is here to see you. I want to hear his detailed account of the Guangning War."
……………..
In the Battle of Fushun, the Later Jin won a great victory, capturing the three cities of Dongzhou, Magendan, and Fushun, and capturing over 300,000 people and livestock.
The defeat at Sarhu was disastrous, with the Ming army losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
In the Battle of Kaitie, General Ma Lin was killed, and the people, livestock, and property looted by the Later Jin were still not fully transported after three days.
In the first year of the Tianqi reign, the Liaoshen Campaign suffered a disastrous defeat, with Shenyang, Liaoyang, and more than 70 cities east of the Liao River falling, and the Ming army suffered heavy losses.
From the 46th year of Wanli when Lao Nu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty to the present time during the reign of Tianqi, the Ming army suffered a series of disastrous defeats and lost troops and territory over the past few years.
The sky was shrouded in an increasingly heavy haze. Every time news of a defeat came, the capital was succinctly described as "the capital was terrified."
Dejected and filled with fear, the Eastern Tartars seemed to be a monstrous force that was difficult to resist.
The Battle of Guangning touched people's hearts. The Ming army was trapped in two cities and seemed to be on the verge of repeating the same disastrous defeat.
The turning point suddenly occurred at this moment. After a heroic battle, the Ming army defeated the fierce attack of the Later Jin, saved the city, and killed and wounded tens of thousands of enemies.
It is like the bright sunshine that suddenly appears after a rainstorm, which lifts people's spirits and sweeps away the haze.
"Extra, Extra! A bloody battle broke out in Guangning City, and the Jiannu were in disarray."
"Extra, Extra! The brave defenders tell us about the bloody battle of Guangning..."
When paper prices in Luoyang were so high in the capital that newspapers reporting on the battle of Guangning were sold out, several fast riders galloped through the streets shouting "Great victory in southern Liaoning, recovery of Jinzhou, annihilation of thousands of enemies", which once again ignited the enthusiasm of the people and filled the entire capital with a joyous and warm atmosphere.
“Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly.” This saying needs to be changed!
Zhu Youxiao suppressed his excitement, maintaining the dignity and composure of an emperor. He glanced at the ministers in his palace and said in a deep voice, "Guangning held its ground with an isolated city and repelled the enemy. Its contribution is commendable."
