152. Heading South

Min Yuanqi's tone became quite heavy, and he slowly continued: "So far, I remember that three brothers died accidentally during training. They were posthumously presented as martyrs, and the gods entered the martyrs' ancestral hall of our army's public sacrifice, and all expenses such as burial were calculated according to the war deaths, and the bereavement benefits were the same as those killed on the battlefield, and our family members and bereaved families would also be taken care of like soldiers who died in battle. Brother Zhu doesn't have to frown, there is no way to do it. Soon after the establishment of our army, it may have to face fierce battles on the scale of 10,000 or even tens of thousands of people, against the most brutal and vicious rogues. This generation is extremely vicious, and everywhere is a thousand miles of red land, burning, killing and looting. He has also fought with officers and men for many years, and in terms of combat experience and will, as well as the brutality of the army, it is far ten times and a hundred times better than our army. We don't have much time, the Rui Emperor martyred the country, Liukou will definitely go south after getting the Beijing division to straighten out the affairs of the north, when the time comes, my Dahewei is in the Huai'an land, since ancient times to guard the river must guard Huai, whether it is to keep our side safe or for the court to keep Huai'an time is not much. At this time, the training was injured and a few brothers died, so I pulled more than 3,000 brothers to fight against the rogues, the enemy has more than 10,000 or tens of thousands, maybe our people have to die in dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, if the training is not good or even the whole army is wiped out, Brother Zhu, what should I say at that time? I can't take the soldiers to the battlefield with bare hands, but in peacetime training, I will also make them shed the last drop of sweat on their bodies, and even the hardships and dangers are no less than the battlefield...... Brother Zhu, we really don't have much time, so we can only treat the soldiers like this. ”

Zhu Wanchun was shocked when he heard it, and only after half a sound did he say: "Yuan Qi, I want to be left, it turns out that this is the case, everyone has no choice but to do it." ”

After Chongzhen's death, it aroused the indignation of the people for a while, although for the officials and gentlemen, Chongzhen's death made them let go of their guards, and at this time Li Zicheng was no longer regarded as a pure rogue, but as the lord of the new dynasty.

Once destroyed, once prosperous, Li Zicheng will definitely have something outstanding from the leader of the rogue to the emperor in Beijing.

From the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, there began to be a serious civil official from the Jinshi to surrender to Li Zicheng, to the time Li Zicheng entered Beijing, there were not a few officials who fled south, most of the martyrs were eunuchs and nobles, and there were not a few civil officials.

Seventeen years ago, there were many civilian officials who were martyred, whether they committed suicide when the city was captured, or they were killed unyieldingly after being captured, anyway, there were no civil officials who surrendered, from senior officials to ordinary state and county officials.

People are afraid of death, but after considering their families and clans, no matter how afraid of death are, they will also consider what will happen to their families, wives and children after they surrender.

No one believed that Li Zicheng was successful before 17 years, and around 14 years, Zhang Xianzhong surrendered, Luo Rucai surrendered, and the 5th battalion of Gezuo dispersed and fled to the Dabie Mountains to go deep, Li Zicheng ambushed in Tongguan, and the old battalion soldiers were scattered and only more than 1,000 people remained, and they were forced to hide in Shangluo Mountain.

None of the states and counties in the Ming Dynasty fell, and not a single official from Jinshi surrendered and rebelled.

It's not just a matter of backbone, it's also a matter of reality.

From the thief to the rebellion, the family and the family are affected, and at the same time, he is also notorious in the history books, life is difficult and there is only one death, but when necessary, he can only die.

Therefore, during the Battle of Songjin, the army failed and Hong Chengchou fell into the army, Chongzhen directly gave the minister a sacrificial speech and posthumously gave him a nickname, because not many of the civil officials and even senior generals before Hong Chengchou chose to surrender. Most of the generals who surrendered in Liaozhen were garrisoned to the guerrilla level, and their official positions were not large, and they had a lot of dealings with the Jurchens in Liaodong, and they surrendered to death or speculated on the Jurchens, and felt that the Jurchens could cut Liaodong for a hundred years at worst, so they chose to surrender.

And from Yuan Yingtai, the Liaodong strategy, to Sun Chengzong, who resisted the Qing Dynasty and died unyieldingly in Gaoyang City, none of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty chose to surrender, whether it was Donglu or Liukou, the choice of civil officials was to fight unyieldingly, martyr the country and be loyal, and keep the vassal festival.

However, after the fall of Jingshi and the martyrdom of Chongzhen, the shackles on the civil officials were opened, and morally and practically almost all the officials, gentlemen, and doctors recognized the fact that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, which is the reason why most of the civil officials in Beijing surrendered.

At this time, if Min Yuanqi said that he was training and waiting to fight the Eastern Prisoners, it would be absurd not to mention that it would be easy to shake morale.

Dongyu has repeatedly fought against the Ming officers and soldiers for decades, killing and wounding a lot in each battle, and the well-known civilian officials and generals at the general level do not know how many have died in Liaodong, and the Dongyu has become an invincible spokesperson among the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the customs five times, looting and killing affected half of China, the Ming officers and soldiers except for the early Lu Xiangsheng fight, and later defeated Amin in the battle of the four cities, the remaining four times the performance is not as good as one, and even the Qing army can put horses in Shandong for half a year, in the core hinterland of the Ming Dynasty leisurely grazing, until the autumn high horse fat leisurely with the looted wealth and Dingkou back to the pass, it is simply a shame to throw face to the grandmother's house.

The fifth time the Qing army entered the customs, the soldiers had arrived in Nanzhili, and later some people said that Shi Kefa was heavily defended, and the Qing army was afraid of not continuing to go south, in fact, according to Min Yuanqi's current thoughts, most of the Qing army was afraid of the dense water network in Nanzhili, and the Qing army was afraid of the heat, and the Qing army was afraid of heat, plus the terrain in the south was not familiar, and there was no need for the mixed Yuan Yiyu to conquer and establish a regime, so the Qing army was touched back, and Shi Kefa's arrangement should have nothing to do with it.

When it is really necessary, the Qing army will still choose to continue to go south, Duoduo came out of Beijing to fight Henan first, then from Henan south to Xuzhou Huai'an, down Yangzhou to cross the river to Nanjing, and then to Hangzhou, is not the same as the dense water network and sultry weather? It's just that at that time they had already entered the customs and had the conditions to establish a national regime.

These Tungusic people actually studied China thoroughly, whether it was the need to shave their hair and keep braids, the retention of Confucianism, the suppression of the northern officials and the southern officials and gentry, and the lure and use of the surrendered Ming army generals.

When the use is finished, the pot will be thrown at night, and then the newcomer will be lured.

The king of Sanshun was reused first, and the feudal domain was resolutely withdrawn during the Kangxi period.

Politically, these savages are really shabu-shabu to the fullest.

Min Yuanqi thought that the shaving order was Dolgon's dizziness, but later he gradually understood the truth.

Since the time of Huang Taiji, Han officials and Manchurian nobles have suggested from Han customs, and Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty is an example, and building a huge empire from Han customs seems to be a good choice.

Huang Taiji categorically refused, and even repeatedly emphasized that the old customs of Manchuria should not be changed, and future generations must never give up.

It may have been too early to implement the shaving order when Dolgon entered the customs and the situation was good, but this policy was a national policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and would not be changed under any circumstances.

These savages are more confident than their predecessors, they want the Han people to follow the customs, to control the Han with the Manchu, to suppress the Han with the Manchu, to break the backbone of the Han people, to break the inheritance of their customs, and to be full of Han clothes, they want such a Manchu family, not the Han Manchu family.

Then use the literary prison to break the academic atmosphere of the late Ming Dynasty, and then close the sea frontier, cut off the absolute foreign trade, and then more than 200 years is really a pool of stagnant water, such a rule is of course extremely successful for the colonial regime, although the uprisings continued, but they failed to shake the foundation of its rule, and even later was bombarded by huge ships and heavy artillery to open the country, and it can continue its life by buying foreign guns and foreign guns and borrowing foreign debts, if it were not for the later royal family was too greedy, the establishment of the imperial cabinet after the idea of the Han people doctor, I am afraid that it can succeed in turning into a constitutional monarchy, China's destiny remains in the hands of a small alien race.

For such an enemy, Min Yuanqi can't be too careful.

At this time, of course, it is still necessary to bring up the Liukou, when Chongzhen just died, it was still quite indignant to the military and people of the world, and even the Qing army entered the customs with an excuse to avenge Chongzhen's funeral and Xingyishi, Min Yuanqi did not make a fuss about the Liukou at this time, and it could not be said that he wanted to prevent the Qing army from going south?

If the officers and men of the new army in front of them knew that they were facing the extremely vicious Eight Banners, they would be afraid that their morale would directly drop to zero, and it would be difficult to avoid a large number of deserters.

There is no way to do this, the great name of the Eight Banners of Manchuria has been erected for decades, and it cannot be broken in a short period of time.

Even those vassal Ming troops, when they were under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, they were fish belly, shaved their hair and kept braids, as if they had opened the light, the Qing army stopped when they beat Jingxiang, and the other fought until Hangzhou stopped, and then the real Manchuria remained in the south of only more than 10,000 people, and they were also stationed in a number of strategic places, and the troops that could be used to fight in the front line were quite few.

Nan Mingnuo territory, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are all vassal Ming army down, the most powerful is the three Shun Wang plus Li Chengdong Jin Shengheng and the like, and then because of the Qing court's unfair reward and uprising anyway, the Southern Ming army they fought extremely beautifully, as soon as they met the Qing army that crusaded against them, these guys immediately exposed the true nature of the weak chicken, three under five divided by two were conquered by the peace, without the ferocity and brutality when they fought the Southern Ming army.

It can be seen that the Manchurian soldiers of the Ming Dynasty deterrence and its actual terrifying combat power, the entire history of the Southern Ming Dynasty to win the real Manchuria record is not much, the most glorious is of course Li Dingguo created two famous kings of the war example, the Ming Jin King also entered the forest of famous generals, and even because of the tragic apocalyptic heroes on his body, the later generations when they take his case more feel not excited but sigh......

If Min Yuanqi wanted to run away from Nanyang or be a figure like Zheng Chenggong before, now he wants to be the mainstay of Li Dingguo.

Of course, don't end up in a tragedy like Li Dingguo......

At this time, Shen Yong stopped, pointed to the crowded workshop in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "This is where the drill pipe is located." ”

After hearing Min Yuanqi's words, Shen Yong's expression was also quite excited, but the frustration was also more obvious.
