Chapter 98(1/2)
Better than worse
It is not nonsense to say that things will get better if the capital is moved to Beijing.
It was the result of Dorgon's judgment of the current situation based on his years of experience in political management of the country, as well as the Manchu Qing's long-planned ambition to seize control of the Central Plains.
That's right.
Li Zicheng looted the capital on a large scale.
However, he left behind the soldiers, population, and land that the Manchus really wanted, as well as the Ming gentry, landowners, local officials, and literati.
This gives Dorgon huge room for maneuver.
First of all, the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty when they entered the customs was to avenge Chongzhen.
The name is not important, it just sounds quite satisfying.
It was the actions of the Qing army after entering the customs that really won the favor of everyone in the capital, from officials to the common people.
At least for this short period of time, those with strict military discipline had nothing to say.
A series of routine operations to win people's hearts.
But a roar came from behind him, which immediately made him happy.
Zheng Chenggong and both of them had no objections.
So, what would a soldier who has been on the run for three days without even a full meal and whose chest is pressed against his back feel hungry when he is asked to continue running to the next place? What would he think?
Go to Tongzhou to get some food and grass and then come back and take good care of you.
This received strong verbal support from civil and military officials in the court.
Despite these shortcomings, Nanming planned to take action in Sichuan, just like an eighty-year-old man who was seriously ill and wanted to have a fight with his neighbor's kid who was in elementary school.
Because once the next day arrives, the local government is obliged to provide food and grass to their army.
But after leaving the city of Nanjing and staying in one place for only two days, the officials in charge of the place came again with a cautious look and asked if the army could move to another place to stay. The reason was that the ordinary people in our place were too timid.
Such bullshit.
Zhu Yujian urgently ordered Zhang Huangyan, the Minister of War, to mobilize troops.
Daxi is nestling in Sichuan.
Not daring to reply and risk getting into trouble, the official ran away as fast as he could after succeeding.
But after arriving in Tongzhou, their buttocks were still hot, and local officials asked them to move to Liangxiang County immediately.
In the blink of an eye, he put on the mask of hypocrisy again, patting his chest and promising to those surrendered literati officials that our Qing Dynasty has long admired the Han family and must vigorously support Confucianism. That is to say, the time is not right, otherwise the imperial examination will be opened.
open ah!
What?
Protect the interests of officials and gentry? That must be protected!
After this set of operations, it can be said that all the people have returned home, and the officials and gentry are even more happy, and they all almost call out that the savior has come.
Drought locusts spread throughout Shaanxi, killing more than half of the people in Yaozhou and Chengcheng counties.
At this time, the two of them suddenly woke up.
This group of soldiers rebelled on the spot, turned into demons and looted, and most of them defected to the rebel army.
Dorgon even directly said to the Ming Dynasty officials who came to surrender: "We used to be an enemy country, but now we are one family. When our soldiers enter the pass, if they touch a blade of grass or a grain of grass, they will be punished by military law. You will tell the residents, big and small,
Don’t panic.”
After receiving the order, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi at the time, and Zhang Honggong, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, immediately led the army to rescue the driver.
There is no drama about snow falling in June.
Here comes the problem.
Everywhere I go I can't stay until the next day.
It is very cold in June and there are many people wearing cotton clothes.
I just breathed a sigh of relief.
But after arriving in the capital, they didn't even have a full day. The next day, officials from the capital came to chase them away, saying that they wanted them to lead troops to Tongzhou.
Zheng Chenggong is also ambitious.
Obviously, Li Zicheng can tolerate it more.
Moreover, this kind of operation is also a common old method in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the only one left that can be compared with the Qing Dynasty at this time is the Ming Dynasty.
But guess what.
What is Nan Ming doing?
In the tenth month of winter in Henan, the Yellow River is as solid as stone, and more than twenty thieves cross it on the ice. Those who do not know that the Yellow River exists.
He planned to serve the country to the best of his ability and prepared all the weapons he had obtained from Wang Chengen recently to use them as a big killer.
The two men who led the troops to rescue him did not resist.
As soon as Chongzhen issued an edict, the two of them were sent to prison obediently. The people in Donglin didn't say a fair word.
OK, let's go.
Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian had a restless temper.
Then, when Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong gathered their troops.
Snow accumulates in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province from October to the first month of the following year, cutting off roads and causing death due to freezing.
Both of them also understood that with armies from all directions coming to rescue him, it was understandable that the capital was short of food.
You can go anywhere outside Nanjing.
But when he thought about the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he had to sit down and drink some tea to calm down and comfort himself. It was just food and grass. When the army went on an expedition, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs had already arranged for food and grass. Even if it was not enough, he could use his own money to pay for it.
Well, we will wait until we enter Sichuan later.
At the same time, Zheng Chenggong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Sichuan and the admiral of Sichuan land and water.
Because the natural disasters this year were much more severe than the snowstorms.
After all, Nanjing is now the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Fighting against natural disasters? Saving people from floods and fires?
Or there is no way.
Although I sit in meditation and watch the thoughts of the invaders and the slaves, I can't just watch Sichuan fall step by step and ignore it.
Are you carrying out military reforms and restoring the glory of the Ming Dynasty?
"roll!"
After this comforting meal, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not change any rules, but immediately held a grand funeral for Chongzhen. Both the surrendered officials and the officials from the Qing Dynasty came to pay tribute and howled loudly.
In the second year of Chongzhen, yes, it was the year when Li Zicheng launched his army.
And now.
He said that it is okay for you to gather troops, but we can discuss whether we can change the place.
The two of them were walked.
Zheng Chenggong looked at the official who was cautiously smiling, and the chill in his chest went straight to his heart.
The official knew that this person was appreciated by His Majesty and had a strong background. Even Shi Kefa had to discuss it carefully with him. Naturally, he retreated repeatedly, complaining secretly in his heart, just because he wanted to bleed.
Urgently mobilize the troops of the four parties to defend Beijing.
At this time, the two men had led their army to surround the capital for three days.
In the fourth year of Chongzhen's reign, the two men were dragged to the West Market of the capital and beheaded.
At first, troops were gathered in Nanjing.
Revitalizing the economy?
Are we trying to curb the internal strife between officials in North Korea and China?
Are we seizing land from landowners large and small to ease land annexation?
In July, Chongqing Prefecture fell, and King Zhu Changhao of Rui was beheaded by the Great Western Army.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that wherever the army went on an expedition or stationed there for a change of defense, local town officials were obliged to supply the army with food, grass, and military supplies, and the supply must begin on the second day after the army stationed there.
(Some readers previously said that the name Zheng Sen should be used, but the name Zheng Chenggong was given by Longwu. In this article, Longwu took over in advance, so there is no problem.)
Efforts were made to suppress the uprising and recover Sichuan.
Nanming.
nothing.
