Chapter 150: Return to Sichuan

Standing on the city wall, looking at the gradually departing Restoration Army, Zhu Youdong sighed: "This is the first time that I have not gone out with the army. Yuan Kuoyu, who was beside Zhu Youdong, said: "I'm afraid that Master Hou wants to go out with the army again, but it will not be easy." Zhu Youdong sighed: "Yes, there are a bunch of things in the rear now, and we always have to deal with them." ”

After Zhu Youdong finished speaking, he looked at the captives kneeling on the city wall, these were some of the captured officers, such as Hong Chengchou, Doni, Luo Keduo and others. Zhu Youdong walked over and said to Doni: "It's very sad and angry to look at you." Doni looked at Zhu Youdong angrily and didn't speak.

Nearly 10,000 Manchurian youths were killed under the city, and these were all real Manchurians. The total number of Manchurians who entered the customs was only about 200,000, including women, children and children. This 10,000 young people is nothing to the Han people, but for the Manchurians, it will hurt the muscles and bones.

Zhu Youdong saw that Doni didn't speak, and then said: "It's okay for you to feel angry now, I will kill more Manchurians in the future." Oh yes, I also killed 2,000 inlaid red flags in Guiyang, and another 2,000 inlaid yellow flags in Pingyi. At Shengjing Pass, it is estimated that about 4,000 Zhenglanqi Manchurians were killed. Later, outside the Xiangshui Pass, about 10,000 Manchurian Eight Banners were killed. In this way, if you bring in the Eight Banners of Manchuria in Yunnan and Guizhou, I'm afraid you will almost die. Now I have killed 10,000 people in Kunming, and no less than 30,000 people have been killed. ”

Looking at Zhu Youdong who was arrogant in front of him, Doni and the others gritted their teeth even more, but they were now captives, no matter how angry they were, there was no way to take Zhu Youdong. Seeing this, Zhu Youdong smiled and said: "I don't know if you thought about the day of retribution when you slaughtered the Han people?" ”

Dhoni and the others just glared angrily, their eyes full of endless anger. Zhu Youdong is like this, so that they can also feel the same feeling of being slaughtered by their compatriots. Zhu Youdong walked in front of Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou was already a sixty-six-year-old man at this time, and he was locked up in prison during this time, and his whole expression was a lot depressed.

Zhu Youdong saw Hong Chengchou's appearance and said, "Governor Hong, do you still remember the sentence 'Hong Hengjiu of my Ming Dynasty'?" It may be that Zhu Youdong's voice was a little small, and Hong Chengchou didn't hear Zhu Youdong's words clearly. Hong Chengchou had already told the Qing court that he had an eye disease and his hearing was no longer good, and he begged to be raised.

Hong Chengchou saw someone walking in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was actually a young man, in his twenties. Hong Chengchou has not had a good time in the past few days, and today he knelt on this city wall all morning. Looking up now, I squinted my eyes for a long time before I was a little sober and said, "Who is Your Excellency?" Which army do you lead? If you can surrender to my Qing Dynasty, I believe that the current emperor's sage will definitely make you prosperous and rich. ”

When Zhu Youdong heard this, he was immediately furious, and shouted: "Okay, you beast who has forgotten your ancestors, even if you have been reduced to a prisoner, you don't forget to win over and surrender for your master in Manchuria." Zhu Youdong suddenly remembered a rumor, it is said that the reason why Hong Chengchou was lowered back then was because Da Yuer, that is, today's Xiaozhuang, betrayed his hue and seduced Hong Chengchou.

Zhu Youdong suddenly said with some evil taste: "Hong Chengchou, did you really surrender because of Xiaozhuang's seduction?" Doni and the others next to him immediately scolded Zhu Youdong angrily after hearing Zhu Youdong's words, accusing him of insulting the reputation of Xiaozhuang and destroying the majesty of the Qing Dynasty.

When Zhu Youdong heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "I'm against you Manchus, why can't you scold?" Well, since you want to hide it so much. I also have to find someone to publish a book, so that they can write about the romance of Xiaozhuang. In addition, Hong Chengchou is also here now, and he just said it in his self-described tone, isn't it more interesting. ”

When Yuan Kuoyu, who was on the side, heard this, he immediately said: "Master Hou's idea is good, Hong Chengchou and others have been propagating that the Qing court respects Confucianism and wants to use the orthodoxy of the world to confuse the people. Now we are using the same method to expose the root of their barbarism, which is also very helpful to us in resisting the Qing Dynasty. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "This idea is good, they say that they are orthodox every day, and they completely forget that they are barbarians at all." These scum who surrendered to the Qing court were traitors who voluntarily degenerated into barbarians. Yuan Kuoyu said: "Yes, the Manchu Qing Dynasty actually had the matter of the Queen Mother remarrying and finding a stepfather for the emperor." These are all barbarians, and they are simply rude. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "It just so happens that Wan Niance seems to like attacking others, so let him do it." Hong Chengchou was a little sober at this time, and when he saw that Yuan Kuoyu had surrendered, he immediately scolded: "Yuan Kuoyu, you traitor who betrayed your ancestors for glory, you betrayed the Qing Dynasty, and you will not die well." ”

Yuan Kuoyu saw that Hong Chengchou was still disrespectful to himself at this time, and immediately said: "Okay, you old Hong dog, you betrayed the Ming Dynasty and betrayed the Han people." You don't have to die well, you still remember that when you returned to Quanzhou, your own mother didn't recognize you, and how did you survive in the world. You are simply a pig and a dog, and you are disgusted with everything when you die. ”

Zhu Youdong didn't want to listen to Yuan Kuoyu and Hong Chengchou talking to each other, and said: "Okay, these people are all escorted back to Sichuan, and now they can't be let die, so they simply die." I want to cut them with a thousand knives in front of the whole world to pay tribute to the men of the Han family who threw their heads and spilled their blood for my Han people. ”

The Fuming Army has all left Kunming, and now there are people outside Kunming to clean up the slaughtered Eight Banner soldiers. The heads were all hung around the city of Kunming, and the walls of the entire city of Kunming were densely packed with the heads of Qing soldiers.

Zhang Zuochen came to Zhu Youdong and said: "Master Hou, you killed all the prisoners of the Qing army to boost morale, I have nothing to say." But hanging all their heads on the city wall of Kunming shows that my Ming Dynasty is too killing. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Don't be afraid, in the name of the governor of Yunnan, you will issue a notice. All the sins committed by the Qing army in Yunnan were listed and posted on the four city gates for the sergeants to read out every day. All prefectures and counties in Yunnan must issue notices to them to publicize the brutality of the Qing army. ”

Zhang Zuochen said: "Lord Hou wants to use this to promote the brutality of the Qing army, so that the local natives can lean towards me?" Zhu Youdong said: "Yes, Yunnan should continue to guide and encourage the local people to change to Han people and live with Han people, just like Guizhou." As long as they come out of the mountains and can mix with the Han people for a few generations, they will not be the slightest different from the Han people. ”

Zhang Zuochen said: "Master Hou, isn't this a little too hasty, now the Qing army still has more than 200,000 troops in Yunnan." If we do this now, I am afraid that we will damage the rights and interests of many toasts, and they will not be willing to cooperate with us at that time. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "On the contrary, I think it is the right time, now the 200,000 troops of the Qing army have no food. There will definitely be many robberies of these natives, which is already a lot of damage to them, and now we are just letting them out of the mountain. We let them buy and sell fairly and freely, ploughing and cultivating the land just like the Han people. This is definitely good news for the local people. In addition, the Qing army struck at those Tusi forces, and also made these local people have a lot of hatred for the Qing army, we will make a move at this time, it is more appropriate than ever, I will let the army cooperate with you. ”

Zhang Zuochen said: "Since the Hou Ye has decided, I have nothing to say." It's just that Hou Ye is returning to Sichuan now, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, if the Qing army in Yunnan is wiped out, we should send troops to Burma as soon as possible to rescue the emperor. Hou Ye did return to Sichuan, what should I do when the army is mobilized? ”

Zhu Youdong said: "I also thought of this, if we wipe out the Qing army in Yunnan." It is estimated that the King of Jin and them will be eager to pick up the emperor. It doesn't matter if Yunnan has me or not, after all, we are still some distance from the border, and after our army defeats the Qing army, we will definitely suffer a lot of damage. It is estimated that when the time comes, our army will only be able to help the King of Jin and them. On the contrary, although all parts of Sichuan were occupied, they were in a hurry to enter Yunnan and Guizhou at that time, and Sichuan did not set up an effective local government to govern the localities, so they were in a hurry to go back now. If we organize the local government as soon as possible, we will delay the spring planting in Sichuan, and the grain and grass of our army will become more and more difficult. ”

Zhang Zuochen said: "That's right, Sichuan has been the country of abundance since ancient times, and now the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan can produce a large amount of grain." Zhu Youdong said: "That's exactly the case, so there can be no mistakes in Sichuan's spring planting, and I must go back to preside over it." ”

Zhang Zuochen said: "That's okay, after the Hou Ye returns to Sichuan, what should happen to the places in Yunnan?" Zhu Youdong said: "I asked Ma Zide to obey Zhang Gelao's dispatch, and he set up the standard battalion of the governor of Yunnan, with 2,000 people under his jurisdiction. As for the army, now the army is in Yunnan, so there is no need to think about it. When they need to leave Yunnan, send someone else to form a local garrison in Yunnan. ”

Zhang Zuochen said: "Okay, since Master Hou has thought it through, I won't say more." Zhu Youdong said: "It's just that in terms of the people's livelihood in Yunnan, the elders have to worry a lot, and they should be appeased by the natives." But we can't get used to them, and those who don't want to go out of the mountains can be forcibly encircled and suppressed. Then all these people were moved to Sichuan, which was plagued by Qing soldiers and is now uninhabited for thousands of miles. ”

Zhang Zuochen said: "I understand this, I will definitely cooperate with the army to settle down in Yunnan as soon as possible." Zhu Youdong said: "As for those who voluntarily go to Sichuan, the governor Yamen will also give them travel funds to help them go to Sichuan." When I can, I will let more Han people from the mainland move to Yunnan, so as to ensure that Yunnan will have fewer border troubles. ”

Zhang Zuochen said: "Hou Ye's long-term thinking depends on Hou Ye's." Zhu Youdong said: "By the way, has Wan Niance come to find the elder Ge?" ”

Zhang Zuochen said with a smile: "Of course it came, in fact, Wanniance still has some knowledge, and he is also a person who can do things." It's just that this person is too utilitarian, so Hou Ye doesn't like it when he looks at it. I arranged for him to be the political envoy of Yunnan, and it can be regarded as sharing some of the burden for me, why does the Hou Ye think it is inappropriate? ”

Zhu Youdong said: "There's nothing wrong with arriving, it's just that I want him to do something else." Then Zhu Youdong told him about preparing to let Wan Nian Ce write some books that would attack the prestige of the Qing court. When Zhang Zuochen heard this, he smiled and said: "Master Hou is a bit of a big talent, it's a bit condescending to let him do this, I think it's better to let him be the political envoy yamen in Yunnan." Regarding Hou Ye's idea of wanting to write something, I recommend someone to Hou Ye. ”

Zhu Youdong said: "What person? Zhang Zuochen said: "Li Bensheng, the deputy envoy of the former Qing court in Yunnan" Zhu Youdongqi said: "Li Benshen, wasn't he executed?" He is a military general, how did he become a civil servant. ”

Zhang Zuochen said with a smile: "It's not Li Benshen, the former chief soldier of Guizhou, it's another person, he used to be the secretary of Cangwu Road in Guangxi, and he was only promoted to the deputy envoy of Yunnan in February this year." ”

Zhu Youdong said: "Speaking of which, he was a civil official when he arrived, but he was willing to contribute to the Ming Dynasty?" Now the officials who have surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty are all loyal to the Qing court. Zhang Zuochen said: "Don't be afraid, as soon as he was escorted back to Kunming, he was tied to the pillar in front of the governor's yamen by General Lin Zhuang and dried for three days." Now he doesn't have a temper at all, as long as Hou Ye gives an order, I guess he can tell the things of their family for eight lifetimes. ”

Zhu Youdong said with a smile: "It seems that any loyalty is worthless in the face of punishment." Then Zhu Youdong stood up and said: "Okay, since the affairs of Yunnan have been explained clearly, I am also ready to return to Sichuan, since Ge Lao recommended Li Bensheng, then let him come, as for Wan Nian Ce, let him help Ge Lao." ”

Zhang Zuochen said: "Okay, what should the Hou Ye do with those captured Manchu officials?" Zhu Youdong said: "Take them back to Sichuan first, and leave them in Yunnan, but I don't feel at ease, after all, there are too many Qing troops in the Yunnan army now." ”

After Zhu Youdong arranged the affairs of Yunnan, he returned to Guiyang the next day with the three guards cavalry, his own 3,000 guards, and important prisoners of the Qing court. When passing through Guiyang, Zhu Youdong made some adjustments to the army in Guizhou.

The army of Li Tingming and others was reorganized into the 15th Army, with Li Tingming as the commander and Yang Dong and Wang Liucang as the general guard. This is also the first commander to surrender from the Qing army, when Li Tingming knew that he was appointed as the commander, he deliberately kowtowed to Zhu Youdong in front of Zhu Youdong.

Seeing this, Zhu Youdong said: "Get up, as long as you are sincere in contributing to my Daming, I, Zhu Youdong, will not treat you badly." It doesn't matter if you are a general of the Qing court, or whatever, it is the same. ”

Li Tingming immediately said that he wanted to live and die for Zhu Youdong. Subsequently, Zhu Youdong asked Li Tingming to station the reorganized army in the area of Pu'an Prefecture to defend Shengjing Pass. He also sent troops south to capture the Anlongsi in Guangxi, which was connected with the Guangnan Mansion in Yunnan to prevent the Qing army from counterattacking Yunnan and breaking through into Guizhou. onclick="hui"
