Valley Emperor

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! In the Tang Palace, because of the continuous birth of two little princes, I was immersed in a festive ocean!

And Li Xuan was even more happy, and immediately announced that the two princes had accumulated blessings, and the world was granted amnesty!

After the news of the world's amnesty came out, a group of ministers naturally came to the table one after another, saying that the emperor is really a rare benevolent ruler in ten thousand years, and this benevolent government will bring together the common people!

However, anything that is related to national affairs is absolutely impossible. On the surface, Li Xuan's amnesty is for the sake of the two princes, but there are deeper reasons.

And this can be seen from the crowd of people in the world of amnesty.

There are generally four categories of people who have been granted amnesty. First, the first category is the prisoners of the Ming army. They fought for several years before and after. The number of Ming troops captured by the King of the Tang Dynasty was large. In the early days, most of them were converted into garrison troops. Most of the Ming army prisoners were incorporated into the reclamation regiment, and some continued to stay in prisoner of war camps as miners, etc., and then some middle and senior generals and officials of the Ming army were incorporated into special prisoners of war Camp solitary confinement labor.

And the prisoners of the Ming army who received amnesty did not include middle and senior generals and officials, but ordinary soldiers of the Ming army in the reclamation regiments and prisoner of war camps!

There are a large number of these Ming army prisoners, and they have already reached the scale of more than 100,000 people before and after. So many people are male laborers. It is not a problem to keep them colonized. After the Master of the Tang Dynasty took over most of Huguang and Jiangxi, the homes of many of the soldiers became the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, ordinary Ming soldiers and prisoners of war in the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty will be released in this amnesty and allowed to return home.

The second category of people is a considerable number of people who were arrested because of tax resistance. Because the Tang Dynasty implemented a very strict tax system, they were arrested immediately for tax evasion and tax evasion. Extermination of clans, and the principle of using heavy codes in troubled times, in fact, it is inevitable that many people have been wronged, or that the circumstances are very minor, they are all punished. In fact, there is a lot of resentment from the outside world, and the criticism is very loud.

This time after this opportunity, it is also to release those tax-resistant people with minor circumstances and little harm.

The third type of people are ordinary criminals who are not very harmful to society, but are not included in the list of criminals whose nature is bad, such as wounding, killing, and forcing harmony, and causing great harm to society.

The fourth category of people is the family members of former Ming officials and gentry. During the Tang Dynasty’s march, a large number of former Ming officials, gentry landlords, and businessmen who refused to cooperate were captured and arrested, and they generally raided their homes directly. During the process, the family members of these officials and gentry will be arrested together with their family members, many of whom are female relatives, children of side branches, and even family slaves.

This time, the principle of amnesty is to release people who are irrelevant and less harmful, but those who are more harmful are still not included in the amnesty.

Then the prince was born with the opportunity to play amnesty. In addition to releasing these numerous prisoners of war and criminals and filling the labor gap in the society, he also took this opportunity to express to the outside world that Li Xuan is a benevolent king!

Sometimes things like fame are important too, especially for emperors!

The affairs of amnesty will naturally be handled by the officials below, and Li Xuan himself is preparing to name his two sons.

This prince is different from ordinary people, so he can't choose a name casually. First of all, in order to avoid a large number of folks changing their names because of taboos, these common words can be avoided if they can be avoided, and it is more convenient to use uncommon words.

Otherwise, once the prince becomes emperor in the future, a group of people all over the world will have to change their name to avoid it, or change their name before ascending the throne, but at the same time, it should not be too uncommon, someone must recognize this name!

This kind of thing was found in Li Xuan himself. After the rise of the Tang Dynasty, although Li Xuan didn't care about it, there were still countless people who changed their names to avoid taboos, removing or replacing the word Xuan in their names with other words.

So Li Xuan simply avoided this trouble in advance, and directly named his eldest son, the eldest prince born to Concubine Ye's Shu, Li Yan (the first sound of xu), and the second prince born to Wang's concubine. The name is Li Ying (the first sound of Jian).

After the two princes were born, they were brought by the Ye family and the Wang family at first, but within two days, Liu Bagou, together with the other seven ministers on duty in the imperial study, and thirteen ministers on duty in the imperial study, jointly signed up. Zhe asked His Majesty to choose a nurse for the two princes in order to take care of the two princes.

At first, Li Xuan still didn't respond, looking for a nurse? It's a bit strange, although Ye Shi and Wang Shi have gone through childbirth, their bodies are not so weak that they can't bear children, and more importantly, these two concubines also have wet nurses by their side, so why should they look for another wet nurse? ?

But soon, Li Xuan reacted!

The meaning behind the book they put on is far from simple, but to prevent the harem from interfering in politics!

After thinking about it, Li Xuan commented on the excerpt: "Got it"

That day, Li Xuan sent a letter to his mother, the Empress Dowager Bai, asking her to vacate two separate courtyards in the palace near the front hall!

Three days later, Li Xuan personally brought the nurses specially selected from the poor folks, and took the two princes away in the cry of Ye Shishu and Wang Shide's concubine. In the future, the two princes will live alone in their houses. In the prince's mansion, Li Xuan also personally issued an oral decree that the prince could see his biological mother every five days before the age of ten.

At the same time, Li Xuan also sent his own maid to take care of the two princes!

When he left with the prince in his arms, Li Xuan looked at Ye Shi and Wang Shi crying. To be honest, he couldn't bear it, but in order to prevent the harem from interfering in politics and field affairs, it was necessary.

This is a tradition formed after the Qin Dynasty. It has been like this for more than a thousand years. It has existed for such a long time. Naturally, it has a reason for its existence.

In Li Xuan's own opinion, although this will make the princes lose their motherly love, these are nothing compared to the stability of the regime.

Who made them born in the royal family!

Under heaven and earth, the most ruthless place, there is definitely a place in the palace, Zhu Di's sentence "the most ruthless emperor's family" is the truth.

And since he has enjoyed the glory, wealth and honor of the royal family, he must lose something.

But anyway, the current Tang Dynasty finally has heirs, and there are still two.

At the same time, if nothing happens to Li Xuan in the future, he should have more children. It is normal to have a few more princes at that time, which will reassure many courtiers of the Tang Dynasty.

There was no prince before, and they were always worried that something happened to Li Xuan, and then the huge Tang Dynasty split in an instant. How good is it now, after having an heir, their family can continue to cling to the Tang Dynasty and maintain Prosperous and rich.

In this way, they will fight even more vigorously!

Hao Bainian, Li Chunjing and other senior generals were in a good mood after the news of the birth of two princes reached the front line in Huguang and Changsha!

They were fighting outside, and they were actually more worried about what happened in Zhaoqing than the civilian officials. You must know that the special system in the Tang Dynasty and the special nature of the Tang army were all caused by the fact that the generals had limited control over the army. And it relies heavily on central support.

If there is a problem in the rear, the army on the front will also have a problem!

If there are two princes, even His Majesty Li Xuan will have an accident tomorrow, but these courtiers of the Tang Dynasty can immediately support a prince to inherit the great power and continue to fight against the Ming Dynasty, even if this prince is only just A baby just a few days old!

Peace of mind, Li Chunjing and Hao Bainian finally led the army to launch a general attack on Changsha!

Changsha has been operated by the Ming army for many years, the city defense is quite perfect, and there are many artillery, ammunition, food and grass, it is not feasible to besiege alone, it must be stormed by means of thunder!

After discussing with Hao Bainian, Li Chunjing and Hao Bainian decided to take a multi-pronged approach. Artillery bombardment was a must, and at the same time, engineers were dispatched to start digging tunnels for blasting.

On the first day of the official general offensive, only two and a half heavy artillery battalions totaled thirty howitzers, that is, two thousand rounds of large-caliber grenades were fired! And as many as 150 five-, seven-, and nine-pound field guns fired more than 10,000 shells towards Changsha City!

And the shelling ~www.wuxiax.com~ lasted for three full days!

The rumbling of the cannons never stopped. Three days later, there were more than ten five-pound cannons whose barrels were scrapped, so it could be seen that the barrel life of the cast iron cannons was too poor. Now, the total lifespan is only more than 500 rounds, and a fierce artillery battle can often shoot two or three hundred rounds of shells. If you fight two casually, a cast iron cannon will basically be scrapped.

However, after destroying so many cast iron artillery pieces, the results achieved were also great. The top of Changsha City Wall would basically be in ruins, especially the gate towers with the most obvious targets were completely destroyed.

Most of the artillery positions placed by the Ming army on the top of the city were also destroyed.

Then, under the cover of the rumble of cannons, a large number of engineers dug in all directions at the same time. Although some of the tunnels were destroyed by the Ming army, they also successfully dug a few tunnels, and then buried a lot of gunpowder.

On the fourth day after the general attack, after several earth-shattering explosions, the First Army and Second Army launched an infantry charge from three sides of the city wall at the same time. The four assault battalions formed by the hands launched a charge at the same time!

And although the Ming army in Changsha City was severely shelled, they still resisted desperately, because they had no way to retreat!

The first time the assault battalion ascended the city, it was unexpectedly driven down by the Ming army!

But just two hours later, the second wave of assault battalions charged again!

And this time, the city's superintendents and training army Ming Jun are finally powerless!

On the fifth day of the second lunar month in the fourth year of Xuanping, the King of the Tang Dynasty conquered Changsha and wiped out more than 30,000 Ming troops defending the city!
