Judging from the perspective of sociological theory, the peasant uprising that took place in 1674 seems to be somewhat out of step with the laws of history. The so-called great chaos and great governance, the last time the peasant army represented by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong swept through more than half of China, it stands to reason that the contradictions accumulated in the original society have long been released, and there should be a stable situation for several hundred years after the new dynasty is established, but according to the current situation, this theory is obviously a bit unsuitable.

Frankly speaking, Lin Feng's mentality at this time was extremely contradictory, this large-scale civil war did not exist in Lin Feng's history, it can be said that almost all of it was because of him, but at this time, Lin Feng did not have any pride in dominating history to change the world, on the contrary, after receiving war information from all over the country, he was nervous, joking, it was not a joke that millions of people's heads were rolling to the ground, so although Lin Feng is now politically competent, it is inevitable that he still has a sense of guilt, However, this is not a good time to regret guilt, so after some consideration, he gave Zhou Peigong Li Guangdi and others a task, ordering them to make an overall analysis report on the current peasant war.

When Lin Feng received the research report submitted by Zhou Peigong, he was a little incredulous, didn't the movies and television of later generations be full of pages of propaganda "never add endowment"? Even Mr. Jin Yong's novel is so touching, the old Tartar of Shunzhi became a monk and never forgot to warn Kangxi to collect less taxes and not to increase taxes, how can according to Zhou Peigong's analysis, the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty seems to be not much different from that of the Ming Dynasty? However, after carefully reading the report, he had to change his opinion. Because this analysis is not a military report, it is impossible to exaggerate and fabricate anything, and it can be said that all kinds of arguments and analyses can be regarded as well-founded.

Judging from the official data of the Qing court in the hands of the Han army, the clear account of the Qing court's household department is: about 24 million taels of silver per year, of course, this figure must not be true, it is better to believe in these officials than to believe in a dog. According to Li Guangdi's Zhou Peigong's estimates, the real burden of the people in the Qing court's control area is about 40 million taels of silver, and there is a comparison of numbers here - the Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was only 37 million taels after repeatedly levying Liao salaries and suppressing salaries, and after the Eight Banners entered the customs, they robbed a large area of land, and according to the rules of the ancestors, these lands did not have to pay taxes, so although there was no war, the productivity of the north was still extremely slow to recover.

In fact, the Qing court is also quite pitiful in these years, almost since the beginning of the country, there has been no stop, the confrontation between the north and the south of China in the Shunzhi era, in order to eliminate the Southern Ming court to complete the unification of the natural impossible to recuperate, and then Nanjing was captured, the original Li Chuang, Zhang Chieftain Yu rebel and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty came to a confluence, in Sichuan, Liangguang, Hunan is still a mystery, there is no way to continue the army, after they are finally eliminated, the court in order to appease the three traitor leaders, They had to allocate one-third of the state revenue to bribe them, but Wu Sangui rebelled after a few years of comfort, so the war machine was back in operation, launching a full-scale counterinsurgency war. All of this is premised on the support of huge military spending, and as the first people in the northern provinces to be conquered, their burden has never been lightened.

To this day, Lin Feng heard a cannon outside the Forbidden City, and the northern provinces, which were already on the verge of collapse economically, had been hit hard again, and the northern provinces, which were close to the vacuum of troops, were terrified.

Now the power of the peasant army has reached its peak period, Kaifeng, the provincial capital of Henan Province, is in danger under the attack of the two righteous armies from Shangqiu and Xinxiang in the north and south, and many other prefectures have fallen, fortunately, some time ago the new army was urgently established, although the training is not enough and the equipment is not complete, but the righteous army is just half a catty, and the landlords in various places at this time also quickly organized the militia to help suppress the militia, and the banner is clearly standing on the side of the Qing army to resist desperately, and the side of the righteous army is lined with many factions. In addition to Yang Qilong's Shilang Society, there are many heroes, only the information received by Lin Feng said that there are more than a dozen leaders, each with a name such as "Turning the Sky Fight", "Full of Stars", "Shovel King", etc., some are bullies, and some are simply green forest bandits, grabbing the territory to be extremely fierce, but the wolf is not up to the dog, so in terms of the battlefield situation, although the rebel army has an advantage, it may not be able to achieve a decisive victory immediately in a while.

The situation in Shanxi, Anhui and other places is also similar to Henan, only the rebel army in Shaanxi was unlucky, and it was devastating at the beginning, in fact, this is also reasonable, Shaanxi is a front-line war zone, at this time it is the gathering of large armies, General Wu *** led the army and the generals of the Ganshan Green Battalion Daniel Zhang, Wang Jinbao and others have been fighting for many years, so when the rebel army just opened and unveiled the flag, the Qing army reacted, and on the second day of the rebel army's assembly, it was attacked by a large number of cavalry of the cavalry general Wang Jinbao, and it broke up overnight, The remnants retreated in the direction of Shanxi under the blows of the Qing armies along the road.

At this time, a long-lost Qing army fell into the sight of the Han army, that is, the "domestic servant" army commanded by the Qing court general Tuhai.

The original task of the Tuhai army was to extinguish the rebellion of the Mongol Chahar prince, after successfully quelling the rebellion, this army received an order from the military department, Kangxi ordered them not to return to the army, take Suiyuan, cross the Great Wall through Shanxi to directly reinforce the Shaanxi front, and cooperate with Daniel Zhang, Wang Jinbao and others to eliminate the horse harrier ***, so for several months, the Tuhai army has been marching hard in the desolate grasslands and mountains, due to the inconvenient relationship of communication, the news of the fall of the Jingshi to the martyrdom of the Kangxi Emperor has not reached his ears until now, By this time his army had crossed the Yellow River and was moving in the direction of Xi'an, and at the same time he had learned of the urgent military situation of the rebellion of the northern rebels in the report of the magistrate, and just when he was stunned and half-convinced, his troops ran headlong into the remnants of the Shaanxi rebels.

Both sides were caught off guard and engaged in a fierce battle. Compared with the rebel army, the Tuhai army is naturally well-equipped and well-trained, they who have defeated the Mongolian elite cavalry did not take these peasants in their eyes at first, but these rebels may not be as weak as they imagined, in fact, the remnants of the rebel army after Wang Jinbao's cavalry pursuit and blocking along the road, the surviving people have already become real fierce soldiers in the war elimination, not afraid of death and have considerable combat experience, in the face of blocking their escape path Tu Navy will naturally not be polite.

The battle entered a white-hot state at the beginning, and the reckless performance of the commander of the rebel army also surprised Tuhai, because the two armies had just taken over, and the other party pressed the whole army regardless of any consequences, there was no formation and no echelon, and the man who rushed to the front was a heavily armed man, and then a half-grown teenager, and finally pounced on a young woman, many people were short of weapons and used their fists and kicks, and some dying rebels on the battlefield sometimes suddenly pounced, and grabbed a Qing soldier and gnawed and bited in the face. Desperately clinging to the same end, the morale of the Qing army was hit hard under such a ferocious momentum, and the vanguard was quickly defeated in the face of the huge pressure of the righteous army.

Tuhai was furious, the elite officers and soldiers couldn't beat a group of peasants? This result was unacceptable to him in any case, after cutting the former lieutenant general, he immediately ordered the elite Chinese army brigade to move forward to take over, but at this time the sky was gradually darkening, because the road could not be seen clearly, the Chinese army moved extremely slowly. After months of marching, the army was very tired, and the guest army was not familiar with the geography of the battlefield, so he had to withdraw the order to fight a decisive battle immediately after being dissuaded by other generals, and set up camp to confront the rebels from afar.

After dawn the next day, when the Tu Navy re-camped and prepared to take over the formation, it suddenly found that the gang of bandits on the opposite side actually left only some old and weak as suspicious troops, and its main force had disappeared overnight, and after a short battle, the suspicious army was decided, and only after interrogating the prisoners did they know that the other party was a native of Shaanxi, and the terrain was familiar, and seeing that the other party was strong, they did not intend to fight hard, and after the truce last night, they secretly spared the Tuhai army and fled in the direction of Shanxi.

After losing the opponent, the Tu navy had to stop and camp again, and now there are two options in front of Tu Hai, one is to follow Kangxi's orders before his death, and the whole army reinforces the Shaanxi front, and the other is to immediately return to Beijing and recover the Beijing division occupied by the rebels. As Kangxi's most favored general of the central system, Tu Hai certainly did not hesitate to choose to return to the Beijing Division, and this decision was also approved by the soldiers of the whole army - the wives and children of these soldiers and officers are all in Beijing, and they were originally either the garrison of the capital or the clothed servants of the nobles of the Eight Banners, so compared to the armies in other places, the political impact they suffered was much more serious, if it were not for Tu Hai's effective control, they might have mutinied and collapsed.

This army full of homesickness immediately embarked on the journey back, Tuhai in the name of chasing down the fugitives from Shaanxi refused the request for help from all local officials in Shanxi, Henan and other places, a vigorous blow to the north, the action was extremely fast, the troops who were eager to go home were undoubtedly the most terrible, the outbreak of combat effectiveness on the way back to this army shocked everyone, and soon killed a great name on the battlefield of the righteous army and the Qing army, and killed from Shaanxi to Henan in a month. When Lin Feng and the others finally realized that the strategic intention of this revenge force was their own, the Tuhai army had already entered the territory of Zhili.

Although there are also some righteous army activities in Zhili, compared with Henan, Shanxi, Anhui and other places, both in scale and influence are much smaller, one is because of the private agreement between Lin Feng and Yang Qilong, and the other is as the periphery of the Beijing Division, the situation of the people in Zhili is slightly better, although so, but the arrival of the Tuhai army still makes the governor of Zhili, Tong Xuan, overjoyed, in order to express his happy attitude, he personally ran to Baoding a hundred miles away to greet him.

When Tu Hai saw Tong Outline, he was taken aback, but he hadn't seen him for half a year, the former eldest son of the Tong family seemed to be a little old man in his last years at the moment, the original smooth and shiny thick braids were actually more than half white at this time, and the original chubby body was also terrifyingly thin at the moment, and a loose official uniform was worn on the body empty, three points like a man and seven points like a ghost. As soon as he saw Tu Hai, he hurriedly grabbed his hand, and almost fell into tears, "General Fuyuan is finally here, the bandits in Beijing are flourishing, and the governor is struggling to support it, hoping that reinforcements will be like Ganlin in the hope of a great drought, and the hope of a child's loving mother......"

"The handsome man is serious!!" Tu Hai was startled when he heard such heavy words as the mother of the child, and hurriedly let go of Tong Gang's hand, and said, "What is the situation of the Lin bandits, I hope the marshal will tell the truth!" ”

"Alas, General Tuhai, after the traitor Lin rebel attacked the Beijing Division, he has recruited rebels in the past six months, and coerced Ding Zhuang of the Beijing Division to join the army, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger, according to the report of the spies, now the Lin Bandit Department has the entire territory of Shuntianfu, and the military strength has reached 60,000 or 70,000 people, known as 100,000 ......."

"Huh?!" Tu Hai was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously, "How is this possible?" I heard that the headquarters of the forest bandits is only a few thousand people, how can it expand so quickly in less than half a year?! ”

Tong Outline smiled bitterly, "The general doesn't know, after the fall of the capital, the grain, grass, salary, soldiers, armor and ordnance of the treasury all fell into the hands of the enemy, the first emperor in order to pacify Wu Sangui, a thief, has been hoarding for many years, and the number is not more than 10 million. ”

Tu Hai's heart sank suddenly, his army had about 25,000 people when he left Beijing, after many bloody battles, his strength was greatly damaged, and so far there were only more than 20,000 left in the whole army, and there were many recruits and prisoners who were replenished along the road, at this time, I heard that the strength of the Han army was so huge, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, "Gong Tong, I won't tell you, my army is only more than 20,000 people now, it seems that this battle is difficult to fight!" He thought for a moment and continued, "How is the training of the Forest Bandit Division? How's the morale?! ”

Tong Outline had a happy face, "The general doesn't have to worry, the forest bandits' department has rushed to promote the army, how can it be an elite division in half a year?" Although its department is well-equipped, but the rebellious thief can not win the hearts of the people, the people of Beijing have been educated for me for many years in the Qing Dynasty, how can they be willing to follow the thief? At this time, rebellion is just a hypothetical thing. According to what Jingshi said, most of the anti-thief soldiers came for forced conscription, and their morale can be imagined! He arched his hand to Tuhai, "The general Pingchahar, swept across Shanxi and Henan, and the rebels everywhere they went, they were far away and famous—if the general could defeat the main force of the forest bandits, this rabble would definitely collapse!" ”

Tu Hai's heart was a little wider, but he didn't dare to believe too much in Tong Gang's words, this guy was born in a civilian official, and he used to be a famous gentleman in the capital, according to past experience, these people always like to see the war too simple, and when they are weak, they are afraid to death, and when they get strong reinforcements, they immediately raise their toes, as if as long as Wang Shi hits the traitors, it will be over immediately, he smiled bitterly, "Tong Shuai, how many soldiers do you have in Zhili?!" ”

"Recently, the world has changed greatly, the governor also has to train a new army, now a province can mobilize about 20,000 troops, now stationed in Baoding, Tianjin, including Baoding garrison more than 10,000 people, the rest are stationed in Tianjin, but ...... However, there are only thousands of strong troops who can fight, and the rest are new recruits, and they are now stepping up their training! ”

Tu Hai calculated that if he and the two troops of Zhili could join forces, there would be more than 40,000 people, and there was also Tianjin Jiancheng to rely on, so he still had the strength to fight a battle with the rebels, but he didn't know if this Tong outline was willing to give up power, and he hesitated at this time, but it was difficult to speak.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Tong Outline suddenly bowed deeply to Tu Hai, "Although Tong Mou is entrusted by the imperial court to seal the territory, he knows that his talents are not good, so he is cheeky here, and this military is all entrusted to the general!" - I am directly subordinate to the people of the upper and lower levels, and they are all willing to be sent by the general! Seeing that Tuhai pretended to be pretending to be pretending to resign, Tong Outline smiled bitterly, "Alas, it is not easy for General Wangnian to start a business in his ancestors, and the first emperor Longen is simple, don't shirk!" ”

Tu Hai smiled with satisfaction, and suddenly felt that this guy was not useless, at least he was still very good at being an official.
