Chapter 33 Parties (1)
The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and when I looked back, I saw zero bar five. Fortunately, such a tragedy could not happen, Chen Kai watched Li Dingguo's army set off to the west, and the Guangzhou Mansion under his feet was officially in the bag. There's a lot more to be done, but a little more hole cards is the biggest thing.
As for Guo Zhiqi's departure, Chen Kai didn't care. The places where Guangdong can make meritorious contributions have been occupied by Chen Kai, and it will not be of much benefit for his people to stay in Guangdong, so it is better to change the runway and follow Li Dingguo to Guangxi to make meritorious contributions. On the ground in Guangdong, there are also Lian Chengbi, Zhang Xiaoqi and the like, and the western part of Guangdong is still controlled by the civil official group, which is enough.
Chen Kai is no longer interested in calculating with each other, and what he needs to do at this stage is as he and Li Dingguo said, which is to talk about a deep-rooted foundation and lay a solid foundation before there is a future to speak of.
With the reconquest of the capital city of Shaozhou, the Ming army controlled the vast majority of the prefectures and counties in this province. For the Qing court, this province in South China's economy, politics, military and other aspects can almost be said to be the most important only Nanxiong Mansion under the governor of Southern Jiangxi, as well as the three counties in the north of Shaozhou Prefecture, the most, that is, the Heping County of Huizhou Prefecture can be counted. But it didn't take long, because when Chen Kai returned to Guangzhou, Hao Shangjiu had mentioned to him that when he went back, he would take Heping County down by the way, so as not to bury another nail in the boundary of Huizhou Mansion by the Qing court, which would make people uncomfortable to watch.
Whether this is Hao Shangjiu's obsessive-compulsive disorder, Chen Kai doesn't care about it, and the Qing court can't take it into account at this stage. In Beijing, where the Ming Dynasty once lived as its master, is now the center of Manchu rule. Once the people in the city, the industry was also expelled from the city, and the area in the city was divided into eight banners, with the north according to the yellow, inlaid yellow, the east placed in the white, inlaid white, the south by the inlaid blue, the blue, the west solid red, inlaid red layout will be surrounded by the imperial city.
The Imperial City, also known as the Forbidden City, is no longer the same as it was in the Ming Dynasty, and many buildings were burned along with a fire that Li Zicheng defeated and then retreated to Shaanxi. Today's Forbidden City, the extent of recovery is still relatively small, with the Qing court's means of increasing taxes, has been restored, but it is still at the beginning of a process.
The rebuilt hall is as magnificent as the old, in the main hall, the eight banners and magnates gathered, and on the top dragon chair, there is a young man who looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a dragon robe, and looks extraordinarily immature in front of those weathered magnates.
He is the current Manchu Emperor Aixinjue Luo Fulin, which is the so-called Shunzhi Emperor. The year before Jiashen, his father Huang Taiji died of illness, and Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge and Huang Taiji's half-brother Dolgon competed, and as a result, as a centrist, the two red flags and blue flags mediated in the middle, and used the name of supporting Huang Taiji's son to exclude Dolgon, and then used Dolgon to exclude Haoge, and solved these two powerful factions who held great power, and supported Shunzhi, who was less than six years old at the time, to ascend the throne.
Counting up, it has been nearly 12 years since he ascended the throne as emperor. However, for the first seven years, he lived in the shadow of his royal father, the regent Dorgon. Until Dolgon's death, he used the power of the two yellow banner magnates who were suppressed during Dolgon's reign to destroy Dolgon's tomb and exhume the body, and took advantage of Dolgon's childlessness to order Dolbo from Dolgon to return to his sect in the past, and finally took the positive white flag into his pocket, and restored the emperor's authority with the strength of the two yellow banners and the positive white flag.
However, in the politics of the early Qing Dynasty, the influence of the elites of the Eight Banners was still very great, and they were far from being as powerful as they were after the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department to achieve centralization. Therefore, when there is something in the court, it is still necessary to convene the Eight Banners magnates to discuss. What's more, the situation we are facing now is no less bad than it was three years ago.
"Yi Yonggui's slave has just sent an urgent report, saying that the traitor Chen Kai led 40,000 Haikou to connect Changning, Wengyuan, Yingde and Shaozhou Fucheng. He sent the green battalion of Nangan to intercept it, although it did not keep the Shaozhou Mansion, but it also contained Chen Wei's offensive, and now confronted it in Shaozhou Mansion and Nanxiong Mansion. ”
"Forty thousand? The slave dared to say that if Chen Wei had 40,000 people, he would have besieged Ganzhou City a long time ago, and he could still stop him. The emperor, according to the view of the servants, eighty percent of Chen Wei brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there was not much spare strength to conquer the capital city of Shaozhou. ”
"Aobai's words are still reasonable, and the slave also thinks that this is probably the case. Last year, the traitor Chen Kai can be said to have been out of the limelight, helping Haikou plan in Fujian, and hooking up with the old thief in Guangdong. But in the final analysis, he only has those capital in his hands, and it will take time for grain and grass to accumulate. ”
"Hey, no matter what, Yi Yonggui's minion still kept Nanxiong Mansion, and did not allow the traitor Chen Kai to continue to be arrogant. Merit still has to be rewarded, but if he loses Shaozhou Mansion, he has to carry it. ”
The situation on the Nanjiang side will not be too repeated for the time being, this is a matter of experience. The Eight Banners magnates, you said a word, and the sound of the urn echoed in the hall, and soon helped Shunzhi make a decision.
However, the threat to Southern Jiangxi was, in the final analysis, the fall of Guangdong, and the presence of the Qing army in Guangdong was almost wiped out. The combination of Chen Kai and Li Dingguo caused the Qing court to lose a province, and along with it, there were two princes and a large number of feudal soldiers and the existence of the Eight Banners Army. As a result, all the Sanshun kings of the year were executed, and the four Han princes canonized by the Qing court before and after, only one of these benchmark figures remained, Wu Sangui, and the only remaining fruit was in Shaanxi.
It is far away from Guangdong, and the Han prince estimates that he will not be able to die for a while, and he will not be empty. But the problem is that the king of Sanshun is gone, and the Ming army's achievements last year have even surpassed the fierce battle, attacking Sichuan, Guangxi, and Huguang provinces in multiple ways, and only winning half of Guangxi and a small number of prefectures and counties in the sixth year of Yongli's counteroffensive. Under Chen Kai's efforts, the Qing court's Haikou and the old thief blossomed in two ways, recovering the territory of the two provinces in one go, which really made the Qing court feel an unparalleled shock, and even Nikan's death may not be comparable to today's.
"It's that Chen Kai again, who pulled teeth from Shang Kexi's dog minion back then, and this time he simply killed Shang Kexi. This Han dog is really cunning! ”
Zheng Chenggong's strength is very strong, and the Qing court has reached a consensus on this, otherwise it would not have vigorously appeased him the year before and last year. But compared with Li Dingguo, the prestige of the two famous kings is still much inferior.
Originally, Chen Kai was used by Zheng Chenggong, which was already a head-scratching thing for the Qing court. In the final analysis, it was feared that with the assistance of such capable civil officials, Zheng Chenggong's strength would continue to grow and become a major problem for the Qing court. But now, this does not seem to be a problem, because the bigger problem lies in the combination of Li Dingguo and Chen Kai, which has proved to be a huge threat to the Qing court.
"Isn't there any news from Datong yet?"
"Everyone is dead, but the five original death row prisoners have been found, but they have never heard of Chen Kai."
"Yes, a little person who is not visible in the first place, how can I check!"
Since Chen Kai's debut, especially after entering the sight of the Qing court, they have not gone to Datong Mansion to investigate Chen Kai's life experience, trying to find something that can be grasped, weaknesses to take advantage of, etc., but how many batches of people have been sent out, and how many local officials have been responsible, but it is like a mud cow entering the sea, and they can't even hear an echo, as if this person doesn't exist at all.
"What about other prefectures and counties in Shanxi, there is no explanation?"
"Nope." Thinking of this, Shunzhi was full of complaints: "Didn't the traitor Chen Kai claim to be from a merchant family?" I asked the Jin merchants of the Internal Affairs Department to launch their respective relationships to investigate, but it turned out that such a person could not be found at all, and it seemed that even his family that was a merchant did not exist. ”
"Hmph, that guy still jumped out of the crack in the stone, can't you? It must be that the minions below are not dedicated, or that guy is not from Shanxi at all, maybe from other provinces. ”
"Could it be a fugitive?"
"It's possible, and you can start looking at it from this aspect."
The identity problem of Chen Kai, which made them scratch their heads, was never resolved, and after talking for a long time, it was finally over. This is something that cannot be helped, since this is the case, then you have to let the people below investigate slowly, and they have to spend their precious time on more important things.
"Guangdong is like this now, and the imperial court does not have the ability to send a large enough army to attack it for the time being. For the sake of today's plan, we still have to try to ensure the safety of Nanjiang, as long as Nanjiang is saved, then Chen Kai will not be able to make any waves. ”
"Yes, back then, Li Chengdong and Jin Shenghuan, the two bastards rebelled together, and with Nan Jiang in hand, the court could also exterminate them. But if Nanjiang is lost, I am afraid that Jiangxi will not be able to protect it. ”
"In the final analysis, we still need to increase our troops. The minions of each banner have been fighting for many years and are already exhausted, but this time, they will continue to transfer the green battalion soldiers from the north. It just so happens that Hong Chengchou's slave also wants to increase his troops, so let him control the overall situation in the southwest. ”
When Doni Dala, the king of Xinjun, said this, none of the relatives and nobles felt that there was anything wrong. This is not because Doni is the lord of the banner with a white flag, but because of the Manchurian system, even if he is sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair, he is too old to walk, and his teeth have almost fallen out. As long as the master can use it, even if he dies in office, he should have his share.
After all, he's a minion!
"Over there, let Hong Chengchou's minion continue to toss for the time being. Now the question is still in Fujian, where has Jidu gone, and can he get to Zhejiang before Haikou attacks again? ”
The Jidu in their mouth is the son of Prince Zheng of Heshuo Jierharang, Jierharang is transcendent in today's Eight Banners and nobles, and the identity of the prince of the Blue Banner Banner, in addition to being the regent uncle with Dolgon, although he was squeezed out by Dolgon, but when Dolgon died, he once helped Shunzhi to ascend the throne and other meritorious deeds were firmly remembered by Shunzhi, and among the Eight Banners nobles, he was also a figure of the older generation.
Shunzhi appointed Jidu to lead the army south to Zhejiang to fight against Zheng Chenggong, and there was no lack of thoughts about giving Jierharang's vein a chance to make contributions. However, that's not the whole reason.
Speaking of which, the ninth year of Yongli, that is, the twelfth year of Shunzhi, is already the twelfth year of the Qing army's entry into the customs. At the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, most of the noble kings who had been in battle for a long time and had rich experience in leading troops had passed away.
Prince Su Haoge died in prison in the fifth year of Shunzhi, Prince Yu Duoduo died of illness in the sixth year of Shunzhi, Prince Regent Rui Dolgon died of illness in the seventh year of Shunzhi, Prince Ying Azig died in the eighth year of Shunzhi for plotting the position of regent, Prince Xun Man Dahai died of illness in February of the ninth year of Shunzhi, King Luo Luohun of Yanxi County died of illness in the army in the third year of Shunzhi, King Luck Dehun of Shuncheng County died of illness in March of the ninth year of Shunzhi, King Wakda of Duoluoqian County died of illness in the ninth year of Shunzhi, and Abatai, King of Raoyu County, died of illness in the third year of Shunzhi. His son, Prince Duanzhong, Bolo, died of illness in March of the ninth year of Shunzhi, just like Luck Dehun. And the respectful prince Nikan died the most shameful, and was killed by the Ming army on the battlefield, and even his head was cut off.
In just 12 years, the princes and kings of the Manchu Qing Dynasty before and in the early years of the customs were basically dead. And not long ago, Prince Zheng Zierharang also died in the capital, and it seems that this huge Qing court no longer has enough experience to lead the army to do this thing of destroying the country.
The rest, such as those here, are nothing more than some characters of small characters, such as Xinjun Wang Doni, such as Anjun Wang Yuele, and for example, those who were cut down due to the two wars of Hengyang and Zhoujiapu, and who have just recovered from Dorobelle to the Tunqi of Zhenguo Gong, these are already a few figures with some military experience among the nobles of the Eight Banners.
The withering of talent is a major problem in the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this stage. In addition, the army that followed Nikan south was first defeated, then won a bloody battle, and finally consumed there until Hong Chengchou arrived and hurriedly came back to rest. At the same time, the Qing court was still increasing troops to the battlefields of Huguang and Guangdong, but as a result, Guangdong was completely annihilated, and the soldiers were also in a state of overstretching.
In this way, Jidu's expedition became an inevitable accident, but Zilharang died again, and God knows whether Jidu's already insufficient military experience would be more affected by this.
"After seeing that Chen Kai's appetite is limited to one Shaozhou Mansion, I don't worry about what will happen this year. After all, it was like that last year, and this year we have to slow down. The key is that next year, when those thieves have eased up, they will have to toss again. ”
"It's just a bunch of Han dogs, what is there to be afraid of. If it doesn't work, organize the main force of the Eight Banners Army to go south and teach them a hard lesson! ”
