Chapter 454: You've Annexed the Ragtag Army Again
When the Qing Emperor's uncle, Prince Regent, was ordered by the general Dolgon to lead an army of 10,000 white flags and blue flags to leave the south of Beijing. The "Reincarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao" flag of Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, has already fluttered high in the sky of Fengyang Mansion, the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
After Zhu Cihong "beheaded" Haoge, no one in the Qing army south of the Huai River dared to try the front! Bahana and Aobai gathered seven or eight thousand remnants, retreated across the pond in panic, joined Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, who were preparing to cross the river, and then fled to the outside of Fengyang Mansion together, and then retreated across the Huai River together with the Qing army that surrounded the forbidden fortress of Fengyang Mansion......
In just a few days, south of the Huai River, there was no more Qing soldiers!
However, the retreat of the Qing army did not stop immediately after crossing the Huai, but continued to retreat all the way. He didn't even look at the wind, but fled with his head covered, gave up the Huaibei Prefecture of Fengyang Mansion and Runing Prefecture that he had occupied before, and retreated to the territory of Guide Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion in Henan, which could not be stopped.
In the direction of Xuzhou, He Luohui, who had succeeded in the "raid on Xuzhou" before, also fled in panic. Without waiting for the Ming army to counterattack, he gave up Xuzhou City, Pei County, and Feng County, and returned to Yanzhou Mansion with his tail between his legs, and went to join Duoduo.
Now Prince Zhu is really a bit of a shock to the southeast!
Many people were skeptical in the last battle of Dagukou, who knows if those heads were obtained by killing good people and risking their merits?
And after the Dagukou fight, didn't Zhu Cihong go to Dengzhou with Chongzhen? If you really want to win, then you should return to Beijing!
But this time no one doubted...... The Tartars admit it! It was Zhu Cihong who stabbed Haoge to death with two swords.
And the army of Tartars then fled in spite of the wind!
Who would dare to doubt Prince Zhu?
So Zhu Cihong is awesome this time!
Hauge has slaughtered a prince like a Tartar for him, who would dare to disobey him? In the southeast, central south, and southwest, who dares to take pictures of their chests and say that they are better than Hauge? Who dares to say that their army can defeat 20,000 Eight Banner soldiers?
"Chen Huang Degong respectfully invites the thousand-year-old master Jin An!"
"Chen Gaojie respectfully invites the thousand-year-old master Jin An ......"
In front of the Fengtian Gate in the Forbidden Wall Fort (the inside of the Fort is actually the original Fengyang Forbidden City, most of the buildings have been destroyed by the Liukou, but the Fengtian Gate is still there), Huang Degong and Gao Jie, who came from Xuzhou and Suzhou, are bowing to Zhu Cihong on the throne.
Zhu Cihong is not the first time they have bowed, but this time they are really convinced. Haoge is dead, 20,000 Eight Banner soldiers are all pounced, how many catties and taels do they have? Dare not be convinced? Tired of it?
"Flat, sit!" Zhu Cihong is still smiling.
Huang Degong and Gao Jie both got up and peeked at Prince Zhu, and they all felt that there was a ruthlessness in his smile!
It's really ruthless, you must be careful!
The two Zhu Cihong's guards brought two embroidered piers, Huang Degong and Gao Jie didn't dare to sit wide, they sat on half of their buttocks, and their hands were still on their knees, where was there still a little lawless warlord appearance?
Zhu Cihong looked at them with a smile: "How many troops do you two have?" Let's talk about a real number, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled don't count, just say how many more can be practiced? ”
"Hui, back to the words of the Chitose Lord," Huang Degong spoke first, "Minister, there are really 30,000 soldiers under the command of the minister, and there are about 20,000 strong. ”
Historically, Huang Degong beat up Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, who claimed to have 800,000 people, and he obviously had some strength.
"Okay," Zhu Cihong nodded, with a smile on his face, "It's also good to have 20,000 strong...... 20,000 strong, an average of 100 acres, that is, 2 million acres! The remaining 10,000 people, just send silver and dismiss you, and give you 100,000 taels of silver, can you do it? ”
What the? This is going to deprive the military of its rights?
Huang Degong could hear his heartbreak!
How many years of old books have you saved, and Prince Zhu took them all away with a word?
After Prince Zhu finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Huang Degong.
Hauge's death and the Tartar's escape are two big themes! It's rare that Dolgon is quite cooperative...... With such a good theme, of course Zhu Cihong has to fry it well. After speculation, it is impossible to cash out and leave, so it can only be "mergers and acquisitions". And Zhu Cihong's first two "merger and acquisition" targets are Huang Degong and Gao Jie's army.
Zhu Chunjie has already figured out the foundation of these two people, and it is no problem for them to make up 10 Zhuwei Associations (New Army Zhuwei) each.
"Too, His Royal Highness the Prince," cold sweat dripped, Huang Degong's forehead was dripping, "The minister's soldiers and generals are used to it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to endure the hardships of the new army!" ”
"Those who have endured hardship," Zhu Cihong smiled, "The land is in place, the silver is also in place, and what kind of suffering is not a problem." Besides, the training of the new army was not too hard...... It's just a little longer.
In addition, there is not much land to allocate in Huainan and Jiangnan now! Why don't you give your people land in Suzhou, Mengcheng, Lingbi, Hongxian, Suining, and Taoyuan? ”
The territory given by Zhu Cihong is at the corner between the Xu, Huai and Huai sections of the Yellow River flowing in the south, and there are five counties in one state, because the Qing army invaded the south before, the common people ran almost away, and a lot of land was abandoned, so it was naturally easy to circle 2 million mu.
Huang Degong looked embarrassed, "Master Chitose, these territories are too close to the Tartars......"
"Are you afraid of tartars?" Zhu Cihong asked with a smile.
"Minister, minister......"
Seeing that Huang Degong was at a loss, Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Don't be afraid...... The main palace will make proper arrangements. The palace will stay in Zhongdu for some days to supervise the defense of the Huai River. With the main palace here, the Tartars did not dare to come south. In a few days, there will be ten fortresses between Huanghuai and Huai, and Huang Qing will be able to sit back and relax in Huaibei. ”
Huang Degong breathed a sigh of relief: "With the Chitose Lord in charge, the minister is confident that he will run the land of Huaibei." ”
"That's how it should be!" Zhu Cihong nodded approvingly, "The palace will set up a town in Huaibei, with Qing as the chief military officer...... In addition, the land of Xuyi is still the fiefdom of Qing. ”
"Thank you for your love." Huang Degong hurriedly got up and bowed.
In fact, Zhu Cihong didn't love him much, he turned out to be the chief soldier of Henan, and he ruled the first mansion of Guide and the half of Kaifeng. Now it has become the Huaibei General Army, and its territory is one state and five counties. Half of it turned out to be gone! Moreover, his conscription was turned into Tuntian soldiers, which were incorporated into the new army system of the Great Marshal's Office and the Ministry of War.
"Gao Qing," Zhu Cihong said to Gao Jie with a smile again, "The land of Xu Hai has been fought for by soldiers since ancient times. How many people are in the department? How many fields should be given and how many fortresses should be built? ”
"There are 25,000 soldiers," Gao Jie also knew that he didn't run, so he had to report hard, "All of them are pro-strong...... Xuzhou is located on the bank of the Hanging River and is not easy to defend. If the Chitose Lord must be deployed in Xuzhou, the minister can send someone to build a mountain city.
As for granting land, when the land in Haizhou and Pizhou is fertile, most of them are paddy fields, and 2 million mu is enough. However, the Pi and Hai areas are highly populated, and there is not much land to grant to the ownerless. ”
"How could it not be?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Gao Qing doesn't have to worry, the palace will send the imperial history and the Qingtian officials of the Juntun Division to check together, and the more than 2 million acres of official fields, military fields, and hidden fields can always be found." ”
It's time to advance the work of Qingtian Chatian, and now it's time to strike while the iron is hot! Not only should you check it in Nanzhili, but also in Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces! After checking it out, the southeast territory was really mastered by Zhu Cihong.
After making up his mind to further investigate the land, Prince Zhu smiled and said to Huang Degong and Gao Jie: "The palace has great trust in the two of them, and the defense of Huaibei still has to be handed over to the two generals." As for the reorganization of the two soldiers and horses into the guards, it is also necessary to hold Huaibei......"
As he was talking, the military advisor Li Yan suddenly walked in quickly, still holding a book in his hand. Zhu Cihong knew that there was urgent military affairs when he saw him, and he didn't hide it from Huang Degong and Gao Jie, so he asked on the spot: "Military advisor, what's wrong?" ”
"Chitose, Dolgon is here!"
