Han Chinese under the rule of the Later Jin
After Wang Zezhi occupied the Tashan avant-garde, there was no further action.
He just ordered Xiao Liuzi to send a team of sentry spies to inquire about information everywhere, and the battles these days are only small-scale battles between the two sentry spies, and these battles add up to more than a dozen.
At the same time as the sentinel was fighting, Wang Zezhi ordered the Yang State to return after plundering the various departments of Jianzhou.
In the second year of Chongzhen, October 26.
On this day, the guards of Tashan, in Wang Zezhi's camp, went to the outpost outside the customs to find out the news, and returned.
"Report, Ningyuan bad news, on the second day of October, Huang Taiji passed through Mongolia, avoided the Guanningjin defense line defended by Yuan Chonghuan, detoured through the Mongolian region, and broke the wall from Longjing Pass and Da'ankou to enter the pass."
"What about information from other places?"
"The sergeants in Ningyuan City don't let their subordinates pass the pass, so they can't continue to move forward."
In the absence of the commander, the sergeant defending the city did not dare to send a sentry to the past, so he was blocked back.
"It's hard work, you go down and rest first."
"Yes."
The sentinel retreated, and Wang Zezhi fell into deep thought.
Obviously, he has reminded Yuan Chonghuan emphatically, why is it still such an ending?
It was useless to think more, now what he had to do was to fight the battle in front of him.
Wang Zezhi unfolded the map and looked at it carefully.
On the territory of Houjin, Wang Zezhi has occupied Tashan Qianwei, Sanwanwei, Tamuluwei, Horqin Pastoral Land, and Northern Fortress.
In addition, the various tribes of Jianzhou in the southeast were also swept away by the Yang State.
The Yang State captured countless cattle and sheep materials, and captured more than 20,000 captives, some of whom were members of the Kashiketeng tribe.
These captives and supplies were concentrated in Longanwei (present-day Changchun), passing through Hanha, along the Huang River, passing through the pastoral area of the Keshiketeng Division, and Dayong Shaobu, passing through the Tumut Garrison Grazing.
Entered the customs from Xinping Fort, and was finally guarded by the military soldiers led by Li Hua.
From Xinpingbao to Longanwei for more than 1,000 miles, Li Hua arranged for the people who came to meet them to be unable to catch up for a while, so Wang Zezhi had to send them back with a thousand fine horses.
Wang Zezhi not only had to transport them back, but also couldn't let them die on the road.
Fortunately, when Wang Zezhi set out on the expedition, he did not cut off the transportation of materials from various given points.
Otherwise, these Houjin people would have traveled thousands of miles and would have starved to death before they reached Datong Mansion.
In the eyes of others, these Jin people are enemies, but in the eyes of Wang Zezhi, they are not people, these are people of one of the fifty-six nationalities, they are all of the same race, and they cannot be killed in vain.
After Wang Zezhi looked at the map, he already had an idea in his heart.
He ordered someone to call Yang Guo, Xiao Liuzi, and Wang Xian, who risked his life.
"Let's talk about the intelligence and deployment you know."
"Yes." Wang first saluted Yang Guo and Xiao Liuzi, and then said solemnly.
"Amin Belle personally led a heavy army to guard the Jianzhou Guard, and the soldiers and horses guarding the city included more than 10,000 elites under Amin Belle, thousands of guards from Sonomu, a thousand city guards, and 10,000 Han people."
Hearing this, Yang Guo and Xiao Liuzi both frowned, they didn't expect that the Han people would help the Jin people defend the city.
After Nurhaqi acquired a large area of land in Liaodong and subdued a large number of Han people, he adopted two policies, entrapment and coercion, hoping to successfully solve the problem of ruling the Han people.
However, ethnic affairs were extremely complicated, and the Han people had the traditional defense of Yixia, and the Han people in Liaodong were reduced from free people to serfs, and their lives were not guaranteed, so armed resistance and flight continued to occur.
Nurhaqi was overconfident in the power of the Eight Banners, believing that force could solve all problems, so he violently deprived the Han people of their labor, and even used massacres to eliminate the rebellious Han people.
After Huang Taiji inherited the Great Khan, of course, he made every effort to solve this urgent problem first.
On the fifth day of the ninth month of the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven (1626 AD), on the fourth day after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he issued the following order: The key to smelting the country, do not first settle the people. In our country, the Han officials and Han people, who had selfish desires in the past, and those who are now spying with each other, are in the past, although they raise their heads, they will not be ignored.
After that, only those who are already on the run and are seized will be put to death.
Those who have not done it, even if they are the first to sue them, do not care.
This decree clearly stated that it issued a pardon decree for the fleeing Han officials and Han people, and adjusted the previous brutal policy of killing people in the name of defection and espionage, which of course had the effect of calming the hearts of the Han people in the occupied areas of Liaodong.
Three days later, Huang Taiji issued another important decree, which was about improving the social status of the Han people, and the main points were: 1. In the future, the Han people could "devote themselves to the south and pay attention to their duties" and stop their excessive labor such as building cities; 2. In the future, in society, "the people of the Manchu and Han Dynasty shall all belong to one body", and there shall be no differential treatment in the trial of criminals, the undertaking of official duties, and so on; 3. Zhu Beile and his subordinates are not allowed to extort and harass the Han people in Tunzhuang.
Not only that, the next day, Huang Taiji issued a third order, stipulating: according to the (official) grade, each imperial stop will be given to Zhuang Ding Ba, Niu Er, in order to prepare the order, and the rest of the Han people will be divided into separate residences, organized into private households, and the upright people of the Han officials will be selected.
It turned out that "every thirteen strong men of the Han people are organized into a village, and they are distributed as slaves according to the official quality line", and the Han people have little freedom at all.
Now, as a result of this order, about 40 percent of the Zhuang Tun Zhuangding have been allocated, and they have been liberated from their status as "slaves", organized into private households, and become free people.
When these people gained freedom, they were grateful to Huang Taiji, so they took the initiative to join the army and began to work for the Jin people.
Although not all Han Chinese were liberated, this measure had a new meaning and far-reaching impact.
Not only did many of the Han people who surrendered turn from slaves and subordinates to free peasants, but their enthusiasm for economic production was also greatly enhanced, which was helpful in solving problems such as food shortage and living difficulties.
"Among these Han people, there are some people who have not really surrendered, and their subordinates have spent some silver to buy them, and they are willing to open the city gate for us."
"How is the situation in Shenyang Zhongwei and Shengjing City?"
In the 31st year of Hongwu, Shenyang Zhongwei was placed in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province.
It belongs to the Liaodong Metropolitan Command Envoy Division, and Shenyang Zhongwei City is one of the twenty-five guards under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Metropolitan Command Internal Envoy Division, and is the northern barrier of Liaoyang. The city of Shenyang in the Ming Dynasty was rebuilt and changed to a brick city, and its military function was more obvious.
Although the city was strengthened several times in the late Ming Dynasty to improve its defensive capabilities, it was still difficult to withstand the powerful offensive of the Later Jin.
In the first year of Tomorrow's Qi (1621), the land entered Houjin.
"The Shenyang Zhongwei is high and deep, stronger than the Jianzhou Guard, Amin Belle only sent 8,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, and the people stationed in Shenyang Zhongwei are the elite of Amin Belle, and there are no Han soldiers.
In Shengjing City, the elite under the banner of the Emperor of Jin were left behind, with more than 18,000 people.
Shengjing City is heavily defended, not to mention that there are no Han people to defend the city, and even Han people such as us who come to do business with forbidden objects cannot enter the city.
We were all arranged to trade in the city of the Liaodong Capital.
As far as his subordinates knew, not all Han people in Shengjing City were taken into custody, and only low-class people were taken into custody, and there was no big pass between literati and officials.
It's just that he can't enter the city with the ability of his subordinates, otherwise his subordinates would also want to try to buy these people. Wang Xian sighed, he was sorry that he couldn't contact those Han people and let them do their internal response.
"It's a good thing you didn't try, or we would have been exposed." When Wang Zezhi heard this, he poured cold water on him.
