Chapter 788: Shunzhi Restoration
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
In the imperial study, there was the sound of porcelain smashing to the ground, and then there was the roar of Emperor Shunzhi: "Sony, you big traitor don't get out of here!" ”
A few "weak people" who had just picked up their lives, such as Suo Etu, Nalan Mingzhu, and Gao Sai, all knelt in a row in front of Emperor Shunzhi, and in front of the newly baked "Governor of Zhili" of the Qing Dynasty, don't let him behead Sony in a fit of anger.
Sony's face was light, and he was kneeling on the ground, but he was disrespectful and refused to roll. Emperor Shunzhi was so angry that he took out all the pistols that Duoduo had given him, pointed at Sonny and pulled the trigger. However, the pistol has no ammunition in it, and it is worse than a burning stick. Shunzhi was angry, so he had to throw the pistol out, which was also a coincidence, and he actually smashed someone.
"Ouch, what's this?" It was a woman who was smashed, it was Shunzhi's wife Meng Guqing.
Shunzhi followed the sound and looked up, and saw his round and jade wife leaning over and picking up the gun.
When he saw his wife, he remembered Dolgon, who was originally ruthless, and he couldn't wait to hang Meng Guqing up and beat him up.
But now I really want to!
Although Huang Ama is in power and takes over politics, he also sleeps with his mother Bumu Butai, but after all, he can shelter Shunzhi from the wind and rain. Now it's a Duoduo...... This guy didn't usurp the throne, but he threw himself in an empty city in Beijing and waited for Zhu Cihong to send troops to kill him!
He died, and he, the imperial uncle, happened to be the emperor!
If he desperately defended it, he would bring his troops over to pick up the ready-made fruits of victory...... Rebels and thieves have been like him since ancient times!
Shunzhi was thinking of this, his mother Bumu Butai also walked in, she came with Meng Guqing, and heard Shunzhi scolding Sonny from afar, because he was worried that his son would kill people, so he asked Meng Guqing to hurry up and stop it, but let Meng Guqing "take a shot".
"Erchen greets E-niang."
"Slave Sonny respectfully invites the Queen Mother St. Ann."
"Slaves, etc., please ......"
Everyone greeted the Queen Mother one by one. The aunt looked like she was wide-hearted and fat, so she found a chair and sat on her own, and then waved her hand: "Get up, get up, get up...... It's not bad today, it's not bad! ”
Emperor Shunzhi couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, "Eniang, we're all dying!" ”
"Why did you die? I don't like to hear this, I'm in good health, I eat deliciously, but I have to live well! ”
Although the aunt is fat, but the body is very good, there is no three highs or anything, she is 75 years old in history, and now she is only in her early 40s, and there are more than 30 years of big fish and meat to enjoy!
"Eniang, I can't live!" Shunzhi stomped his feet, "The traitor hid outside the gate by himself, and took away all the elite soldiers and strong generals, so he let Erchen stay in Beijing City and wait for death...... Erchen is dead, and he, the imperial uncle, is just on the throne! ”
"Why is it a Beijing city?" Auntie was stunned, "How did I hear that Duoduo left most of his direct subordinates to us?" Sony, is there such a thing? ”
"Back to the Empress Dowager," Sonny said, "except for the Shanhaiwei of the Daimyo's Mansion, the Xuanfu and the Yongping Mansion, the rest of the territories of Zhili are now all under the imperial court, that is, under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor."
In addition, the three prefectures of Zhangde, Weihui and Huaiqing in Henan Province, and the four prefectures of Zezhou, Liaozhou, Qinzhou and Lu'an in Shanxi Province are also directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. ”
Duoduo's retreat from the pass was not small, and there were more than 300,000 bannermen and coats ready to be pulled away. If you don't count the two green flags, the old Eight Banners Han Army and the clothed minions, there are only two yellow flags left, one white flag, most of the blue flags, and most of the red flags, a total of more than 70 Niu Lu, even if you count the Han Army that has repeatedly injected water, the number of Niu Lu is only a hundred and a hundred, and many Niu Lu still have a shortage of people, and there are less than 20,000 strong men who can pull out.
Although there are still lackeys with a positive green flag to drive, it is really very suspicious how much combat effectiveness the lackeys can exert when the core armament is insufficient.
In this case, shrinking the defense becomes the only realistic option.
In the case of shrinkage, there is a situation where a large number of territories cannot be controlled by blue, white, red, green and other flags.
These territories naturally became the territories directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
And the owners of the blue, white, and red flags and the princes of the eight points will also go back to their respective homes to manage their own territory. Therefore, the little emperor of Shunzhi has become the "real emperor" in Zhili and the territory near Zhili!
"Emperor," Bumu Butai said to Shunzhi, "don't you nag every day to engage in a new deal, and you want to learn from Zhu Cihong...... Now that so many state capitals are yours, why are you waiting to die in Beijing? ”
"But, but the sons have no money and no soldiers, how can they do a new deal?"
Bumu Butai turned his head to look at Sony, who was confident and said with a smile: "The emperor said that it was bad, and the emperor is not particularly out of money now...... The so-called empire on which the sun never sets, not only had an empty treasury, but also pulled a butt of usury outside, which was converted into three or four hundred million taels of silver. The emperor is still rich compared to the king of Zhisi Bania.
As for the soldiers...... That's better, we still have twenty-two Niu Lu left in the two yellow flags, and the backbone of Suke Saha's forward battalion and Eshuo's firearms battalion are also left on our side. The minions have calculated, and there are still five or six thousand elite soldiers!
If the emperor feels that it is not enough, he can also recruit some. ”
"Recruitment?" Shunzhi smiled bitterly, "Is there any money?" You are the Minister of the Interior, tell me how much money I have in my treasury? ”
"There are still hundreds of thousands of taels, but it's a little less." Sonny laughed, "But it's okay, you still have land!"
Now there are 22 cattle left in Beijing, less than 4,000 banners, and there is no need for more than 20 million acres of banner land...... 250 acres to recruit a soldier, can also pull out 80,000 people for the emperor! ”
80,000 people! Among them, there were 4,000 in Old Manchuria...... Can this be trusted?
Shunzhi asked in a low voice: "With 4,000 to 80,000?" ”
Sonny smiled: "Why is it four thousand and eighty thousand?" So far, can the emperor still divide the Han? If the emperor does not divide the Manchu and Han dynasties, he only uses land to recruit strong men...... If you don't say it for a long time, within ten years, you don't have to worry. ”
"Yes, yes, yes......" Shunji stroked his forehead, "I'm really confused!" Now is not the time to think about the long term, let's live for a while! ”
"The Emperor Shengming!" Sony complimented Shunji.
Shunzhi, who finally returned to Shengming, suddenly felt full of confidence, and slapped his face: "I want to reform, I want to implement a new policy, I want to ...... How to change? ”
He usually likes to talk about reforms, but at the critical moment, he doesn't know how to change it?
"Your Majesty," Sony reminded, "there are several urgent matters now, one is to declare the Manchu and Han families, regardless of each other...... Otherwise, as soon as Duoduo and Zilharang leave, they will rely on the five or six thousand people we have on hand, and I am afraid that we will not even be able to suppress the ground of Zhili! ”
"Yes, yes, yes...... And what about the second? ”
"The second is to open a department!" Sonny said, "The Han people like to take the imperial examination the most, so they have to be allowed to take the ...... The 20 million acres of banner land around Beijing cannot be used to recruit soldiers, but millions of acres of land can be used for employment, so that two or three thousand officials can be raised, and with them, someone can do errands for the emperor! ”
"Yes, yes, yes...... What is the third? ”
"The third, of course, is to organize the land and reward farming!" Sonny said, "Our territory is actually not too small, there are large areas of flat land, if we can tidy up well, 60 million acres are available...... After deducting 20 million mu of vocational land, there are at least 40 million mu left, and one mu can harvest half a bucket of flour, and there are 2 million stones a year! ”
"Okay, good, 2 million stones is not much, but it is better than nothing! Anything else? ”
"Yes! The fourth is to set up workshops to make guns and cannons...... We are not as good as the Southern Dynasties, we can't count on business, we can only be governmental, we can gather the coatings in the two yellow flags that are specifically responsible for making weapons, set up an arsenal, and then ask the good craftsmen of the Japanese Spania to guide. ”
"Great, great...... Anything else? ”
"One more!" Sonny said, "We have to agree to Zhu Cihong's condition of marrying Fourteen Gege!" ”
"On what terms?"
Sony said: "Of course, it is a condition for the dowry in the land of Zhongzhou!" ”
