Liang Shifa wore a cool hat that northerners are accustomed to, and wore an earthy gray round-necked robe, dressed as a long-term companion of the officials in Beijing, and walked in the southern city with a slightly nervous and uneasy expression.

Although a large number of officials fled south, there were also quite a few Ming officials, with a total number of more than 1,000 Beijing officials choosing to stay in Beijing.

Among them, many officials have returned to their yamen to work on duty, and many officials have stayed in the area of the southern or northern city, ready to watch the scenery for a period of time.

Compared with Li Zicheng's performance after entering Beijing, so far, the Manchurians who have successively entered the Beijing division since the end of May are obviously more sophisticated and sophisticated in military and political affairs, and they are even more popular.

In the north, the Qing army did not burn and loot everywhere as in previous years, on the contrary, the original Ming Dynasty officials in the places where the Qing army went were retained as usual, and the prefect was still the prefect, and the prefect was still the prefect, only the chief soldier, the governor, the Taoist and other important officials, they were mainly Han people who successively changed the Han military flag that they believed in more.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when they first entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, most of the local officials appointed by a large number were Han military bannermen. This is a very smart approach, which can not only communicate and collude with the local gentry forces, use the local power of the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the place, and use the local financial and material resources, but also make the Han military banner play a greater role and not become a stream of waste.

You must know that in terms of pure combat power, the Han military banner is not only inferior to the Manchurian Eight Banners, but also inferior to the Mongolian Eight Banners, not to mention the elite of the Ming army such as King Sanshun and Wu Sangui.

However, in terms of being the governor of the locality, garrisoning the place for the Qing Dynasty, and suppressing small-scale rebellions, the Han people of the Han Army Banner played a much greater role than the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

As for the surrendered Han army, they wanted greater territory and benefits, but their loyalty to the Qing court was not comparable to that of the Han army.

In the Beijing Division, it is also roughly the same as the locality, the real core department is dominated by the Manchurian Banner people, but it is the surrendered Han officials who play a role, and the real person in charge is the Han Army Banner People.

For example, in the inner courtyard, there are now Ning Wan and Hong Chengchou, and at the same time, Feng Quan and other demoted officials, it is not Hong Chengchou who really speaks, and of course it is not Feng Quan's turn, but Ning Wan and me, the banner man of the Han Army.

Among the six ministries, a large number of officials are absent, many officials choose to surrender and cooperate, and more are waiting and seeing.

However, as many of the measures taken by the Qing court were quite skillful, showing that the Qing regime was a qualified and mature regime with its own unique style, a way to control its subordinates, and a calm advance and retreat, more and more officials also chose to cooperate with the Qing court.

At least they still have a fig leaf now, and the Qing court announced on the surface that the entry into the customs was the request of Ping Xibo Wu Sangui, and that they would enter the customs to avenge the great tomorrow and kill the rogues.

This reminded many civil officials of the story of Shen Baoxu crying to save the Qin court and asking for soldiers, and the Qing court obviously did not leave, which is completely different from the story of the Qin State, which no one remembers.

Liang Shi found that he was walking in Nancheng, he was carrying a lot of gold with him when he entered Beijing this time, and it was too conspicuous to bring too much silver.

They disguised themselves as entourage, servants, or Jianghuai merchants trapped in Beijing, and their main goal was to spy on the movements of the Eight Banners, whether to send troops, the number of troops, the goals of the march, and so on.

This task is quite arduous, after all, when Liang Shifa and others were investigating news and actions in the Huai'an area, they had the support of the banner army of Yuntiguan behind them, and they were also considered to be in their hometown, so they had the confidence to act well.

When I arrived in Beijing, my eyes were black, I didn't understand anything, and I was strange everywhere.

However, Zhu Wanchun helped a lot in this matter, the relationship between the Zhu family in Nanjing is stable, and there is also a good relationship network in Beijing, Min Yuanqi did not deceive Zhu Wanchun, and bluntly said that he would send someone to Beijing to inquire about the news, Zhu Wanchun opened a list, which are all old friends of the Zhu family, which can be used to open up the situation in Beijing.

Of course, Zhu Wanchun's letter was also slightly concealed, just saying that the people sent by the Zhu family to Beijing were used to inquire about the news, see what the Qing State planned next, and also to study the situation in the north.

As a top wealthy businessman in Huai'an, it is quite normal to do some intelligence spying, and no one will suspect it at all.

Some of the people around Liang Shifa were settled according to the relationship between the Zhu family, and a few of them were active in the southern city boundary not far from him.

The original inner city was no longer allowed to enter and leave the Han people at will, and even the southern city was sparsely populated.

After two changes in the invasion of the army into the city and the entry of the Qing army into the city, many commercial houses in the city were directly closed, and trading was temporarily suspended.

Many foreign merchants directly stopped trading, and most of the southern goods shops were also closed, only some small shops in Jingshi, because of the people's livelihood, after a short period of closure and reopened.

Even so, the street is sparsely populated, even in the east and west streets outside Zhengyangmen, the most prosperous and lively territory in the Ming Dynasty, at this time there are also pedestrians, and there are not many people walking on the street at will.

Occasionally, Manchurian soldiers would pass by, and passers-by had a look of fear on their faces, and all of them subconsciously lowered their heads, shrunk their shoulders, and stood on both sides of the road to dodge.

It was the first time Liang Shifa saw the pigtailed soldiers, and there was no lack of curiosity in his heart, but he was also the same as the people in the capital, bowing his head and shrinking his shoulders, just looking at these Yiren soldiers with the corner of his eye.

Most of these pigtailed soldiers wore large hats with red tassels, blue or gray arrow robes, waist swords at their waists, long bows and sacks full of arrows on the left and right sides of the horses, and miscellaneous items such as knives and water bottles.

When they saw the Han people on the side of the road, they had a look of contempt and disdain on their faces, and even a little people were in the way of blocking the road.

Liang Shifa had a faint look of anger in the depths of his eyes, but he quickly restrained his emotions.

This kind of deception is not the first time I have seen it, not to mention these Jurchens, it is actually the same thing for the Han soldiers to treat their own families, and there is not much difference.

Deep in his heart, there is also a longing, not knowing when he will be able to end such a troubled world.

More than 20 years ago, that is, when Liang Shifa was a child, Wanli only faintly heard that there were Jurchens in Liaodong making trouble, but it was thousands of miles away from Dahewei, and no one cared about it at all.

At that time, the world was generally peaceful, although there were a small number of bandits, and there were also ringing horses in Shandong, but they could not make a big climate, although the army was hard, but the days of Wanli were generally passable, and the households could eat meat every few days, or fish or meat, so that they could relieve their cravings.

The military households are more bitter, but they can still cut half a catty of meat every ten days and half a month, and most of the adults and children can still eat their stomachs, and they will not go hungry.

Everything changed after the levy of Liaoyu, the imperial court increased limitedly, but the gentry at the bottom passed on their share to the people, and the government increased the levy, layer by layer.

The Liao salary levied by the imperial court has increased at least several times in the people.

At that time, people's lives were already sad, and after the year of the Apocalypse, the Chongzhen year was changed, and people said that the emperor was eloquent and strategic, and he came up to punish Wei Gelding, and the Ming Dynasty was expected to prosper.

But soon the Beijing division was surrounded, the world was in an uproar, and then there was a big rise of the rogues, scourging the people everywhere, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, as long as the rogues passed through, the women were humiliated, the old people and children were killed, and the strong men were killed or coerced as cowards, and a place could not recover for many years.

Then there are many times that Dongyu has entered the customs, and it is also the same as the Liukou, where he passes, there is not an inch of grass.

Then there is the levy of liao salary, the levy of training salary, people's life is getting more and more difficult, and there is almost no way to fill their bellies.

Up to now, more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty has fallen into the hands of barbarians, those barbarians who have surrendered to the rule of the Ming Dynasty are in this city that has condensed the essence and pride of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Liang Shifa's heart was still angry, before going north, Min Yuanqi had told him about the Dongyu, and of course he was full of vigilance and resentment against these barbarians who brutalized the Ming Dynasty.

But the power of words is not as great as everything you see in front of you, even the guest soldiers who do all kinds of evil in Dahewei are not as great as the impact and damage that this kind of Eight Banners soldiers brought to Liang Shifa.

The guest soldiers only collected grain and requisitioned food, plundered people's property, and satisfied their selfish desires.

But in the eyes of these soldiers, what Liang Shifa saw was a naked lamb-like condescension and a fierce murderous aura brought about by long-term cold-blooded killing.

That kind of condescension and contempt is completely to treat all Han people as pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, and not to regard them as equal human beings at all.

This kind of contempt and suppression made Liang Shifa's breathing difficult.

Since he can remember, Liang Shifa has never felt so humiliated as he does today.

He was scolded and abused by nobles, and reprimanded and beaten by superiors.

When he was treated as a poor army, he had similar anger and humiliation, but it was not as strong as it is today.

When Liang Shifa pressed his emotions and continued to move forward, he finally figured it out.

The most important reason why the posture of those Eight Banners just now made me so angry is that this kind of contempt and contempt is not directed at oneself or a certain person, but the conqueror to the vanquished, the strong nation to the weak, the successful to the loser, and the master to the slave......

The once proud Chinese civilization, the Chinese kingdom, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the civilization and pride inherited all the way, at this moment, are trampled in the dung heap and the soil, worthless!
