Chapter 293: Raising the Flag and Rebelling (2)
In the city of Beijing, the Manchu regent Dolgon also knew what was happening in the Ming Dynasty today, and he knew even more about it than Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. Since the last defeat in Xuzhou, Dolgon has sent more men to infiltrate various parts of the south, always monitoring every move of the Southern Ming Dynasty, in case the Ming Dynasty may send Yinglong Army to the north.
"Offending the world's corporal clan and the same lineage clan at the same time, it is impossible for Zhu Cihong not to know the consequences of doing this in advance, judging from the cause and effect of the matter, Zhu Cihong did it on purpose!" Dorgon didn't want to admit it, but it was.
Earlier, before the Ming Dynasty promulgated that holy decree, the Ying Long army of the Ming Dynasty and various armies were frequently mobilized, and the Manchu spies scattered throughout the south had already transmitted such information to Dolgon.
When Dolgon had just received the spy information, he could only conclude that Zhu Cihong was likely to make a big move, but he couldn't guess what it might be, and he didn't expect Zhu Cihong to do it anyway.
"Zhu Cihong is so courageous, this king is not as good as him, but if he wants to succeed, this king is not optimistic about him!" That being said, the pressure on Dolgon's heart was even greater.
After all, there is no absolute, Zhu Cihong ascended the throne in just two years to reverse the decline of the original building of the Ming Dynasty, and develop the Ming Dynasty to the point where it can faintly make the Qing Dynasty fearful today, Zhu Cihong is by no means a mediocre talent, Dolgon has long put Zhu Cihong on the same level as him, what if Zhu Cihong really succeeded in the end?
Dolgon didn't dare to think about it anymore, he already had to admire Zhu Cihong's courage and courage, and he knew what it would mean to Da Ming if Zhu Cihong really had a way to successfully suppress the backlash of the world's corporal clan and clan forces, and forcibly carry out that holy decree.
As a generation of heroes, in control of the Qing Dynasty and half of the world, Dolgon's vision is very vicious, from the beginning he knew where the weakness of the Ming Dynasty was, that is, the tax that could not make ends meet in a year, the Ming Dynasty was established for nearly three hundred years, the clan was huge, at most nearly 200,000, even if the current Ming Dynasty lost half of the country, there are still more than 150,000 left, so many clans occupy resources are terrifying, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has to give them Lu rice and Lu Lu every year, the pressure on the Ming can be imagined, plus tens of thousands of scholars, Together, the two parties occupy most of the land and resources of the Ming Dynasty, and they also consume the expenses of the Ming treasury every year.
To fight, money is too important, the Xuzhou War, the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to dispatch so many troops and mobilize so many resources was actually thanks to the silver money obtained by the seizure of more than 200 officials of the Donglin Party and the Wei State Mansion, otherwise, the support of more than 30 million taels of gold and silver that was obtained at once in the Xuzhou War, the Ming Dynasty had no chance of winning at all.
Even a few days ago, Zhu Cihong raided Yanzheng and suddenly obtained many times more gold and silver than the raid of the Donglin Party and the Wei State Mansion back then, and the pressure on Dolgon was not as great as it is now, after all, those were all unjust, and there was no second time.
However, once the Ming Dynasty successfully canceled the privileges of these scholars and clans, the Ming Dynasty's treasury would be able to double the income at once, and it would be continuous, and the impact would be great over time, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty would continue to grow explosively, which was what Dorgon was most worried about.
"It's a pity that the vitality of the Eight Banners of the Xuzhou War was greatly damaged, and the Mongolian tribes faintly moved a little, and the Eight Banners had to take care of these trivial matters, and they couldn't draw their strength, otherwise the king would inevitably wave his troops south to insert a bar, even if he couldn't take the opportunity to destroy the Ming Dynasty and dominate the world, he would also disrupt Zhu Cihong's deployment, strangle his idea in the cradle, and at the same time exacerbate the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty could not develop steadily, and achieve the goal of constantly weakening the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately time did not wait for me!" Dorgon sighed.
At this time, a general with a white flag suddenly walked in.
"Qiyu Regent, the Mongolian Tatar Department and the Naiban Department and other seven tribes rebelled with 80,000 troops, Horqin, Chahar and other tribes were raided and suffered heavy losses, and the King of Horqin sent envoys to ask for help from the Qing Dynasty!"
"Smack! Abra! This king treats him well, and he dares to rebel! Dorgon slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.
Although Dolgon had guessed that there would be a rebellion among the Mongol tribes, he did not expect that it was actually the Tatar tribe who led the way, thinking that Abra had pulled him to worship the immortal heaven, and both of them had saved each other's lives, which can be called a brotherly friendship, but he did not expect that he was the first to stab a knife in the back, how could Dolgon not be sad.
"Lord Wang, there is a piece of news that the slave is not sure of." The white flag general said with a slight groan.
"Say!"
"There were spies who saw a few Han people appear in the Tatar Department, but they didn't find out if they had anything to do with the Ming Dynasty, and their subordinates didn't dare to judge for themselves!"
The corner of Dolgon's eyes jumped immediately, and he subconsciously felt that Tatar's leading rebellion must have something to do with the Ming Dynasty.
"Heh, it turns out that Zhu Cihong has premeditated, most of the Mongolian rebellion and attack Horqin and other departments, which is the fate of my Qing Dynasty, so that this king has to be saved!" Dolgon gritted his teeth, Horqin was a hardcore ally of the Qing Dynasty, and the Horqin grassland was a barrier to the rear of the Manchurians, once Horqin could not resist, the Mongol rebels would be able to go straight to the lair of the Eight Banners, and the Manchus would not be able to let it go anyway.
On March 24, the second year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon personally led 27,000 Manchu Eight Banners into the Mongolian steppe to support Horqin.
The news was soon transmitted back to Nanjing City by the secret agents of Jinyiwei.
In the palace, Zhu Cihong sneered and said: "Hmph, if I want to do such a major event related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty, I naturally have thorough preparations, if Dolgon wants to intervene, I will not give him a chance!" ”
As early as before the purge of the salt administration, Zhu Cihong made arrangements in this regard, which was to let the Mongols and the Manchus eat the dogs, flawless south, as long as the Ming Dynasty succeeded in this reform, the Manchus would be like a chicken and a dog, and the Ming Dynasty could crush it in an instant.
Outside Fengcheng County, Jiangxi, there is a surge of people.
"Hurry!" Countless figures suddenly appeared, rushing towards the city gate.
"Open the gates!" One of the hundred general guards at the city gate shouted.
"Squeak" Fengcheng County Gate was opened in an instant, and tens of thousands of figures outside the city instantly poured in.
"Kill"
Seeing Fengcheng County fall in an instant, King Fu was extremely excited, from now on, this world will be his.
"Newspaper"
"Emperor Qi, on March 27 of the second year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, King Fu united dozens of heroes and three major feudal kings in Jiangxi to raise 60,000 troops, Fengcheng, Fengxian, Anyi and other more than a dozen counties fell, and the anti-army developed to 150,000!"
Zhu Cihong stood up instantly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"Is it finally going to begin?"
"Spread my will, and all the armies of the Ying Long Army shall not act rashly for five days." Zhu Cihong sneered, he wanted to wait for all the people who wanted to rebel to jump out, so that they could be wiped out!
Zhu Cihong is not arrogant, but has absolute confidence in the current Yinglong Army, and the Yinglong Army, which has a powerful field artillery to cooperate, is invincible, and is not the ability of the rabble temporarily formed by the anti-army, which is Zhu Cihong's most powerful reliance!
