Chapter 468: Unwilling to be a slave again

Hauge broke up with Dolgon, which was definitely good news for Zhu Cihong.

Especially at the time node when Zheng Zhilong and King Gui rebelled.

With the internal strife of the Manchus, the pressure on the north would be much less, and the Ming army could devote more energy to counterinsurgency.

After solving the troubles of King Gui and Zheng Zhilong, Hauge and Dolgon must have lost both of them.

At this time, the Ming army will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

It can be said that this is the best news Zhu Cihong has heard recently.

Then he heard another piece of good news.

Qin Gongming, the general soldier of Dezhou, Shandong, came to report that a banner man of the Han army took the initiative to vote, claiming that he was willing to do things for the Ming army.

Qin Gongming did not dare to hold it up, and immediately ordered someone to escort this Han army banner man to Nanjing and hand him over to the Son of Heaven for personal trial.

Now this person is already on his way to Nanjing.

Although Zhu Cihong still doesn't know what level this person is and what kind of intelligence he can bring to the Ming army, this is definitely good news.

The Eight Banners system has always been a system that the Manchus were proud of. And the Eight Banners Army was the absolute main force of the Qing army.

Now even the Eight Banners Army has deserted, which is enough to show that there is a great problem within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It's not just a conflict between Dorgon and Hauge.

Zhu Cihong heard that Dolgon had enacted a strict fugitive law, but this did not stop the large-scale fleeing of the cloth to the south.

Now even the Eight Banners themselves have begun to flee, and it seems that the Qing army's rule in the north has reached the point of anger and resentment.

If heaven wants to make it die, it must first make it mad.

The Manchus were just crazy.

They think that they are the most powerful beings in the world, and they treat everything like dogs.

This is the kind of policy they pursued when they were in Liaodong.

Nurhachi killed one out of ten Han people in Liaodong. Those who survived were extremely lucky.

After entering the customs, they thought that they could completely replicate the way they ruled in Liaodong, but they found that the people in the customs had a stronger sense of resistance, and they could escape.

It was very difficult for the people of Liaodong to escape into Shanhaiguan. But it was relatively easy for the people of Beizhili to flee to Shandong.

More importantly, the Ming army in Shandong was very happy to accept them.

In this way, the Manchu top brass was a little confused.

In their eyes, a slave is a slave, and it is used to make the call work.

If all the minions have escaped, who will work? It can't be these noble Manchurians who do it themselves, right?

That's why the fugitive law appeared.

However, the harsh laws did not delay the phenomenon of fleeing, on the contrary, the people of the north were unwilling to be slaves and fled to the south spontaneously.

The will of the people is a very important thing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

Now that the hearts of the Manchu people have been lost, it is the moment when the Ming army has made great achievements.

Zhu Cihong had already decided that he would go on a northern expedition immediately after quelling the rebellion, and he must not miss such a good opportunity.

......

......

When the prisoner car passed through the Chengmen Cave in Nanjing City, Chen Shuncai smiled.

He let out a long breath with a sense of relief.

Although he changed from a banner soldier of the Han army to a prisoner, he did not regret it.

He couldn't stand the endless fighting anymore.

In his early years, he was alone, and he fought wars.

Anyway, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes.

But then he had a family property and a wife, and he was afraid to go to war again.

Whenever he heard the sound of the conch, he instinctively felt a palpitation.

What if he doesn't come back? What if he dies on the battlefield? Who will take care of his wife?

escaped death again and again, and walked in front of the ghost gate again and again, which made Chen Shuncai feel even more afraid.

He only hoped that the meaningless war would one day end sooner.

At that time, he still had a thought in his heart, that is, his wife gave birth to a child for him, and the whole family lived happily together.

Until his wife fell ill and died.

And the fire in his heart was extinguished.

He finds himself back to his days as a coated minion.

Messing up one day at a time, muddy and hopeless.

The master rewarded him with a bone and gnawed it with joy, like a dog.

He just felt like he was dreaming.

He woke up with nothing.

But he's still a banner man, and that's the only consolation left.

It wasn't until the promulgation of the subsidy order that Chen Shun's only remaining comfort was gone.

Chen Shuncai found that the so-called Han Army Banner Man was just a nice statement, and he was essentially a slave, just a high-level minion.

In the eyes of the Manchurian aristocracy, the Han people themselves were used to oppress and exploit, even the Han people who carried the flag. From that moment on, Chen Shuncai made up his mind to escape, because he didn't want to be a dog for the Manchurians anymore.

escaped all the way from Beijing, and after thousands of hardships, he finally came to Texas and came to the control of the Ming army.

Qin Gongming, the general soldier of Texas, personally interrogated Chen Shuncai.

This was the first time Chen Shuncai met Qin Gongming and the general of the Ming army who commanded the defense of Texas.

It was under this man that the combined forces of Kyorobahana and Shi Tingzhu reaped a crushing defeat.

And Chen Shun is the first-hand witness of this fiasco.

He found that Qin Gongming was very different from what he imagined, this person was too young.

To be able to command such a perfect battle at such a young age is probably really due to talent.

Qin Gongming detained Chen Shuncai for a few days, and then ordered someone to escort him to Nanjing.

Chen Shuncai didn't have much emotional turmoil after learning about it.

Having escaped the high-pressure rule of the Manchurians, he only felt that his breathing was smooth at the moment.

The city of Nanjing was very different from what he imagined.

Without the majestic slaughter of the northland buildings, the scenery in the city of Nanjing seems very peaceful.

Mountains and rivers, flowers and plants, and even men and women in the city.

Chen Shuncai felt that the scenery here exuded a sense of self-confidence, which the Manchurians did not have.

The more obsessed the Manchurians were with looting and slashing, the more they could expose their cultural inconfidence.

They are accustomed to solving problems in a rough way, precisely because they cannot do it in a gentle way.

After seeing the way of life of the Ming people, especially the Ming people in Nanjing, Chen Shun realized that most of his life had been in vain.

As he told the leader of the horse thieves, he had lived like a dog all these years, and now he didn't want to live like that anymore.

Unfortunately, Chen Shuncai did not have much time to enjoy the scenery of Nanjing, because he was still a prisoner.

Many of the sights are glimpses, and then darkness is in front of you.

Chen Shuncai was imprisoned in a black cell.

He didn't know when he would be arraigned, he just wanted that day to come.

He has some information about the Qing army, although it may not be very important, but it can definitely give the Ming army some reference.

In his opinion, he is somewhat useful, and this should be able to buy a life.
