Chapter 567: The Wave of Uprising
The people of the Han family are actually very confident in the words of Hu Wu's 100-year fortune, and they thought that there were no foreign tribes in the land of the Han family to conquer, but they never expected that Dolgon really had such a big appetite.
Could it be that Da Ming really died like this? People really either choose to keep their hair and lose their lives; Or just save your life and shave your head?
So the ordinary people of Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili decided to talk to Dolgon. But Dorgon is busy getting married, and he has no time to spare!
The people smashed their mouths and stomped their feet, so they raised their sickles, axes and even burning sticks to fight the army of the Eight Banners who were welcoming Dolgon!
They didn't want to stop the sedan chair in Xiaozhuang and shout, 'I'm against it!' They just want to make a truth, and they want to ask why I don't count my hair, why should I give you my life?
As a result, the entire north of the Yangtze River in Guannai, as well as Nanzhili, Jiangxi and Guangdong, most of the territory of China was full of rebel armies one after another.
The fact that there was no uprising in other places was not because I felt that the shaving order was good, but because it was still the Nanming regime, and there were Emperor Yongli and Zheng Chenggong.
The peasant uprisings in these provinces can be said to have risen one after the other, and almost every uprising has reached more than 100,000 people. Regardless of whether these uprisings end up in triumph or tragedy, there is no turning back from the lives lost.
In the third year of Yongli and December of the sixth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Shanxi revolted, maybe the time in the book made this uprising a little late, almost a year late, but Shanxi he was an uprising, and it didn't matter whether Dolgon and Azig wanted it or not.
This year, under the severe drought, the harvest in the fields of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces was almost halved, and some families did not harvest a grain for a year, and those who could not survive sold their fields to live as slaves, and some sold their sons and daughters.
And the story of our chapter begins not with people, but with a big yellow dog who is so hungry that only skin and bones remain.
In the winter of Shanxi this year, the hard earth covered the thick snow, and also covered the only trace of vitality left in people's hearts.
In the air of slaughter, there were only a few households in the villages under the dirt slopes.
It was already evening, and Wangcai, the big yellow dog discarded by the landlord's family, was lying trembling next to the firewood and grass pile at the entrance of the village.
Already scrawny, it stared blankly at the crows in the trees not far away, who were chirping viciously.
He was hungry, and so were the crows, and he might be dreaming that one of them would fall in front of him with a slid and fall half to his eyes, and then give him a good meal as food, and if that were the case, he would not have wasted even the crow's feathers.
It's just that the crows are not so unlucky, but seem to be discussing the topic of this dog together: "Hey, I'm talking about big black!" This yellow-haired animal has survived for five days, and although he hasn't breathed yet, I guess he won't have the strength to bare his teeth, right? Do you need to fly over to stimulate it, and give it a memorial service or something in advance? Otherwise, if you let it last for a few more days, you might lose even your bones, so how can you eat it? ”
After several successive tax donations throughout the year, and in time for the disaster year, the winter food in the village was almost gone.
The older families had already taken their grandchildren to beg for food, and the remaining surplus grain and seeds had been buried by the villagers almost as deep as a well. If it weren't for the fact that King Chuang helped the village divide the land and rob the big households a few years ago, this village would have been out of life a long time ago.
But later I heard that King Chuang was also quite unprincipled, at first he only robbed big households, and later he became robbed when he saw people, but these are not what they are in the mood to care about.
They have just lived a full life, but the Qing soldiers have entered the customs again, the Qing soldiers have defeated the king of Chuang, defeated the Great Western Army, and are going to fight the Khalkha Mongols.
But they are so powerful that they don't go to heaven, and they are also very powerful in the world of the poor.
If the war doesn't stop, the looting won't stop, what will never be given, it's all deceitful nonsense, and what can be grabbed is so troublesome to pay back Nima to collect taxes?
In order to see who exterminates whom, the Qing army has been wantonly collecting grain in the northwestern provinces, and has been forcing the old and young in the village to a dead end.
The city head changed the king's flag, originally I just thought it was just a drum change on the stage, but I didn't expect that people even changed the troupe, and there were still people with small rice bowls to re-watch the lively ticket money.
The big cow of the Wang family at the head of the village tightened the straw rope around his waist and scolded viciously: "the bastard Tartar, robbed us of our food and let us shave our heads!" They look ball-eyed, and they want to make us look like them. ”
Several male babies who grew up together are sitting on the broken kang mat of the Liu family, a big family in the village, and the boss of the Liu family is also tense at this time, and said hatefully: "I have had food in the years when I caught up with the drought, but now I can't even feed a dog." It was a good hound, and he went hunting with us in the mountains in the early days. ”
Zhang San, the neighbor, sighed and said: "If the brothers hadn't read this, they would have been strangled a long time ago, and now everyone has nothing to eat, but looking at the dog meat, we just can't bear it." ”
Another black and thin descendant from the same village said: "Hey, have you heard that Jiang Zongbing and Tartar have fallen out." said that Datong went to a lot of Tartar cavalry, all of which were going to fight General Jiang's soldiers. I also heard that the Eight Kings of the Tartars (Azig) were ruining their mother-in-law in the city on the streets of Datong in broad daylight. It was a decent person in the city who had just married a new daughter-in-law, and he snatched it from the sedan chair. Jiang Zongbing personally asked him for someone, but he was beaten out with a stick. This made Jiang Zongbing unbearable, and he had to fight with the Eight Kings, so he took his own soldiers to the Eight Kings' Mansion in Tartar and killed people when he saw them. Frightened, Azig jumped off the wall and fled, and his feet were broken. ”
Another villager asked puzzledly: "Didn't General Jiang surrender to them?" Why did this Tartar prince still treat him like this? ”
The man didn't know why, so he couldn't answer, but continued to talk about what he had heard: "I heard that General Jiang has killed all the Tartars and their families in Datong City, and now he is about to fight the Tartars outside the city." ”
"Just him? I don't believe he's so bold! During the Battle of Ningwuguan in Daizhou, the general soldier Zhou Yuji and the Dashun army fought so badly that he didn't say a single soldier to help the general soldier of Zhou. When King Chuang killed General Zhou and didn't go to Datong to find him, he took the initiative to come to the door to surrender. As a result, they all became officials of the king, but they helped the Tartars to fight the king. King Chuang shouldn't have listened to Zhang Tianlin's words and let him go at all, he should have slashed him with a knife. But it's good, as soon as King Chuang was defeated by Tartar, he immediately turned his face, Zhang Tianlin saved his life, but became the first person he killed. This kind of goods will never end well. ”
