Chapter 213: Jingshi
In the following ten days, Nanjing and Yangzhou went to Huai'an, Fengyang, Xuzhou, Suining and other areas were full of dark tides, and the messengers were endless.
Originally, a small person who was not looked at by others, actually regretted Liu Zeqing's more than 10,000 troops head-on, including 3,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 cavalry.
This strength is quite good, and it can be said that it is quite shocking.
At the very least, it can be said that this Min Yuanqi has the ability to confront Liu Zeqing head-on.
Later, Shi Kefa came to Huai'an in person and persuaded Liu Zeqing to call off the army and make a truce, and not to do stupid things that hurt relatives and fast enemies.
Liu Zeqing, who had no intention of fighting again, of course, listened to persuasion and wrote a letter of apology, and his close general, Li Huajing, Shi Kefa's Chinese officer and staff Yan Ermei, rushed to Yunti Pass together to affirm their intention to strike the army and truce.
Then Shi Kefa asked for Yunti to close the town, that is, in the name of Dahewei, to open Dahe Town, which of course meant that Min Yuanqi would guard the half-exhausted Huai River and the Yellow River, that is, to Guanyun to Yancheng and Haizhou.
This is equivalent to Xuzhou Town and Huai'an Town side of another town, in case of war, when the towns gather or go separately, Dahe Town can be the back town, can also be the forerunner, everything depends on the actual situation.
At least in the hearts of the Donglin Party and Shi Kefa, it is of course a great thing to have such a town, even Emperor Hongguang, who is hiding in the deep palace and not asking too much about government affairs, also issued an edict to persuade Liu Zeqing and Min Yuanqi to stop fighting, ending with great worry.
Of course, Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo also knew about this, but the second town did not make any other moves, as long as Liu Zeqing did not go crazy to fight the cloud ladder pass, it was naturally impossible for the second town to take the risk of copying Liu Zeqing's back road at this time.
Besides, Gao Jie is now working hard, preparing for real soldiers, and the Northern Expedition in the coming year, there is no major accident at this time, and Gao Jie is unlikely to come to find Liu Zeqing's bad luck.
A major event, by or large, is settled down after July.
At the same time, in July, among the Ming Jingshi who were far away in Beijing, earth-shaking events also took place.
After many conversations and discussions with his confidants and princes, Dolgon made up his mind to carry out the will of Emperor Taizong and move the capital of the Qing Dynasty from Shengjing to Jingshi.
At this time, the Jingshi was still in a gloomy fog.
Emperor Chongzhen, who hanged himself and was martyred, was hastily buried and buried, and Dolgon decided to rebuild the emperor's mausoleum and bury Emperor Chongzhen in the coming year.
Since he was a teenager, the Qing Dynasty has been fighting against the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen is also regarded as the biggest opponent of the Eight Banners.
This emperor's great achievements and improper actions are often teased by Emperor Taiji of Starling Chongde, but in Dolgon's heart, Emperor Ming is still the co-lord of the world, and he and others are still a small and wild country.
But Huang Taiji has a strong self-confidence, although in Shengjing with the Han system to build the inner courtyard, let the Han people as scholars, let the Eight Banners of the prince for the various ministries, and set up the Han Army Eight Banners and reuse the Sanshun King and other Dongjiang Han generals, its magnificent bearing and pattern, far beyond the Dolgon can be expected, not to mention the old Khan who has been dead for many years and is quite crazy in his later years.
When Huang Taiji was there, he was quite confident, insisted on using Manchurian clothes, did not allow relatives and nobles to gradually learn Han customs, did not use a knife to cut meat, listened to Han dramas and other things were severely reprimanded, and even punished.
He also dealt a severe blow to the remarks advocating the change of the Han people's clothing and clothing, and strongly stated on many occasions that Manchuria's clothing and clothing and cavalry shooting were the foundation of the country and absolutely unshakable.
For the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji also has long been ambitious, in fact, Huang Taiji has seriously shaken the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule in the north, after the Qing army entered the customs five times of sweeping, looting and massacre, the power of the north of the Ming Dynasty has been extremely weak, and even can not organize effective resistance.
When the fifth Qing army entered the customs, for nearly half a year in Shandong Mumada, the Ming army did not dare to fight with the Qing army, did not send a single soldier or arrow, did not have Qinwang soldiers and horses, and there was no local regimental training.
When the Qing army entered the customs for the first time, although the Ming army was also extremely timid at the beginning, afraid of fighting, and even Huang Taiji made people erect signs to say that all officials were exempted, but later Xuanda Yulin Gansu and other towns and soldiers gathered, plus Ji Zhen soldiers and Liao Zhen soldiers, Shandong soldiers and Henan soldiers gathered, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops surrounded and attacked the four cities where Amin was entrenched, the Qing army suffered heavy losses, Amin fled back in embarrassment, Huang Taiji took the opportunity to punish him and took the post of Amin Dabeile.
The first time Huang Taiji left Amin and thousands of soldiers to defend the four cities, it was because the early stage was too smooth, too underestimated the Ming army, and at the same time felt that the Ming army was too weak, so he left a few nails outside the pass, and then attacked after a period of time, expanded the territory he occupied, attacked from both sides, and captured Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan gates.
In this way, Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Liaonan are connected, and the Ming Dynasty can be encroached upon and annihilated.
How could it be that the four cities ended in a fiasco, and Huang Taiji put away his thoughts about Xuncheng, and began to use the battle of Daling River, the battle of Songjin and five times to enter the customs, like cutting down trees, first removing the branches, and then cutting down its roots.
It's a pity that Huang Taiji is a day and a holiday, he didn't wait for the day when Li Zicheng broke the Beijing division and returned to the west, and then the fruit was picked up by the little fourteen Dolgon, Haoge and the two yellow flags did not resist the three brothers of Dorgon, in addition to keeping the throne of Shunzhi, the Shunzhi years before Dolgon died, it was the two white flags in charge.
Now the Eight Banners have been enclosed in the capital, although the soldiers have not taken their homes to come, but the enclosure has been very loud.
Everyone fought for decades, many of the Eight Banners officers and soldiers were from their grandfathers and the Mandate of Heaven Khan, first leveling the Jurchen tribes and then challenging the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty, decades of fighting, and now the Ming Jingshi, Dolgon decided to move the capital to digest the fruits of victory at the same time, the large and small Eight Banners soldiers are also entrenched in the city, not only in the city to occupy all the inner city mansions, the Han people to live outside the southern city or the Beijing Division, the Eight Banners also suggested to the regent together, want to stake land in the north of the Ming Dynasty, each flag circle public land, The House of the Eight Banners and the Noble House encircled the private land of Wangzhuang and seized the private estates of the noble eunuchs and officials of the Ming Dynasty in the Gyeonggi area.
Dolgon had already agreed to this in his heart, but just as he had not yet given the order to shave his hair, Dolgon felt that the captivity would greatly hurt the allegiance of the Han doctors who had surrendered, so he was still hesitating.
By July, at least the proposal to move the capital was decided, and at the beginning of the month, a new constitutional calendar was revised, which was vigorously supported by the Western priest John Tong.
At the same time, it was agreed to move the capital, and people sacrificed to the tomb of the first emperor outside the pass, and told him about the relocation of the capital.
He also re-established the officials who guarded the tombs of the Ming Dynasty and sent guards to the station to prevent people from taking advantage of the chaos to rob the tombs.
Send the auxiliary state prince Tun Qika, Gushan Ezhen He Luo will go to Shengjing to welcome the Shunzhi Emperor's drive to Beijing.
Of course, at the same time, a lot of soldiers and horses were also sent, a large number of mules, horses, carriages and tombs were recruited, and the families of the soldiers of the Eight Banners were moved in batches from Shengjing to Hetuala and other places to the territory of Daming.
It wasn't until July that Dolgon really made up his mind, determined to divide the house first, then enclose the land, and move the family to the small one, so as to determine the hearts of the soldiers of the Eight Banners.
The previous five raids have not made up the determination to gain a foothold in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon has hesitated before, in May Dolgon led a large army into the Ming Dynasty, but neither agreed to move the capital, but also did not send people to welcome the Shunzhi Emperor and the Eight Banners soldiers.
There is no plan to repair the Qing Palace, and he is still hesitating.
Mainly the north is broken, Dolgon considered that the Qing army had to face the Shun army and the Ming army at the same time, and also had to go deep into the northwest and south of the Yangtze River, these places the Qing army was not familiar with, the Qing army's family background was too thin, the real family base was the eight banners of 60,000 Dingkou, including 20,000 to 30,000 real soldiers.
As long as a big war is defeated and 20,000 or 30,000 bannermen are lost, the Eight Banners will not only have to be defeated and return to the outside of the border, but even their hometown may not be able to be saved.
But Huang Taiji has been laying out for this for many years in Dolgon, and so far the situation has not retreated.
Fuguo Gongtun Qika and He Luohui were burdened with heavy responsibilities, and when they left the city, many princes and nobles went to see them off.
As Prince Yu, Duoduo has never had much of a fight, but he also participated in the send-off procession.
The main thing is to entrust the two principals in person, and when they arrive in Shengjing, they must first prepare more carriages and horses for their own family, and some of Prince Yu's beloved things must be brought to Beijing intact.
At this time, the weight of the power of the prince of the Eight Banners was not comparable to that of the prince after Kangqian, and the king of Yu asked him in person, and He Luohui and the two of them respectfully agreed, and they would never dare to slack off in the slightest.
After doing this, Duoduo happily returned to the residence of the regent in Dorgon, and after tying the horse to the side door, the prince, who was wearing a azure four-regiment dragon coat, with an eastern pearl on his head and a morning pearl on his chest, walked out of the upper room to ask for a meeting.
The Regent's Mansion was full of people, and there were many people who asked to see him.
In addition to the people in the Eight Banners who wore hats, red tassels, and had money rat tails, there were also many Ming Dynasty officials who asked to see them.
After the Qing army occupied Beijing, although the civilian officials were disappointed in Xinshun, there were not many who were really willing to surrender to the barbarians, and at least more than 100 officials chose to flee south in this month.
Dolgon's magnanimity was also great at this time, and the officials who fled south didn't care, and let him do as he pleased.
At this time, no one could have imagined that a few months later, the regent would order the military and civilians to shave their hair, change their clothes, and start enclosing land, setting up a fugitive law and other evil laws to chase down the Ming officials and people.
Looking at the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty who wore black gauze hats, round-necked robes, embroidered on their chests, wide robes and large sleeves, and looked like women, Duoduo's face showed disgust.
He doesn't learn from Dolgon, he obviously looks down on these Ming officials, but he has to use them, on the surface, he is serious, but in his heart he feels that these people are far inferior to their own cloth and banner slaves.
"I've seen the Regent."
The Manchu Qing Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, and the post-Jin Dynasty has been established for decades, and the rules and systems have been fixed, and even at this time, the way of enslavement and control is much more mature than that of the Ming Dynasty, more sophisticated, and more ruthless.
Just like Huang Taiji killed several brothers and nephews before and after, forced his sisters to death, and killed more than 1,000 people in the Zhenglan Banner in order to get the Zhenglan Banner of Manggultai, he would rather make the Zhenglan Banner weaker, but also to ask Haoge to completely master this flag.
This kind of sophisticated and vicious method, of course, was also copied by them to Guannei and used on Daming.
No matter how ruthless these barbarian nobles are to their enemies and leave no trace of trouble, at least in terms of superficial etiquette, they are quite sophisticated and sophisticated.
When Dordor entered the house, he put down his horseshoe sleeves, knelt down and prostrate, and then stood up, and Dolgon greeted him, and the two of them touched each other with their shoulders, and then hugged each other, which was the gift of hugging between relatives and nobles.
As the regent's brother and the lord of the banner, Duoduo has this honor and dignity.
"Brother Jiu," Duoduo said with a grin, "Those Han dog officials are bored when they look at them, when will they be asked to change their clothes?" ”
Dolgon smiled when he heard this, and said: "I have just approved a fold, because of the military affairs, all officials are dressed as usual, and they are not allowed to make it easier to be arrogant, and they are not allowed to shave their hair without authorization!" ”
"At the same time." Dolgon confidently said, "I have sent messengers to the south, and I have ordered Naskofa to persuade the lord of the kingdom to cut off the title of emperor and establish a vassal. If they will come, I will accept them. ”
