Chapter 68: The Order to Shave Hair

When Feng Quan stood in front of Dolgon, Dolgon was taken aback.

Because Feng Quan has already shaved his head at the moment, using the hairstyle of the money rat tail, as mentioned earlier, now the Qing court does not have an order to force the shaving of hair, and the people below are all kinds of doping, generally the old people in Liaodong shaved their hair, such as Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan me.

but the new ones did not shave their hair.

And Feng Quan is obviously a newcomer, a scholar who came to defect after the Qing Dynasty entered Beijing. It stands to reason that it should be a Han hairstyle, but at the moment it is a Jurchen hairstyle.

Of course, for Feng Quan, this is also his Jedi counterattack.

This matter has to start with the long run.

Many people in the eunuch party were idle in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and they were at the point of being suppressed by the Donglin Party at all times. So when Dorgon wrote a letter to summon him, he immediately responded and was also entrusted with an important position by Dolgon. Many of the etiquette of Shunzhi's accession to the throne were drawn up by Feng Quan.

However, with the pacification of the city of Beijing, many officials surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, there is the so-called Donglin inside. These are from Jiangnan scholars. They were in a high position with Feng Quan as the leader of the eunuch party, and they looked down on it, so countless impeachments of Feng Quan were turned around.

It's like drowning Feng Quan for a while.

Dolgon didn't seem to have any intention of protecting them, so Feng Quan could only find a way to vote for Dolgon. What is good about Dolgon, Dolgon issued a shaving order when the Qing court just moved to Beijing, but he was slapped in the face by reality, and he withdrew the shaving order almost within a day or two.

This matter is a knot in Dorgon's heart.

Feng Quan seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, so he changed his Manchurian hairstyle to see Dorgon.

Dolgon was surprised and said, "Mr. Feng, who are you?" ”

Feng Quan said: "This is the weather of the new dynasty, since the minister has already done the new dynasty, of course he should follow the weather of the new dynasty." ”

"What a new dynasty." Dolgon said, "Mr. Feng is loyal to my Qing Dynasty, isn't it? Mr. Feng thinks that it is time to issue a shaving order. ”

Feng Quan is also a smart person, and as soon as he heard this, he knew where he was asking Feng Quan, but let Feng Quan take the initiative to take the responsibility of persuading Dolgon to issue a shaving order.

Feng Quan naturally knew in his heart that with this reputation, he would not have a little reputation in his hometown, and he could only follow the Qing court to the dark.

Perhaps that was what Dorgon was all about.

Let Feng Quan know that he can't do without the Qing court, so he will give advice to the Qing court with all his heart.

"The minister thought that at the beginning of the yuan, Vientiane was renewed, and the great freshness was established in Beijing. When there is a new atmosphere. The ministers thought that they should issue an order to shave their hair, and not submit to the people and the outcasts. Feng Quan said cautiously.

Dorgon said, "Good. What Mr. Feng said is very true. ”

Dolgon immediately asked Feng Quan to draft an order, which was written as a shaving order. It was immediately promulgated, first, the people in the city were panicked, but Feng Quan was relieved, and after returning home, he gathered all the men in the family to shave their heads, and there was no one who could not shave.

It was in this order that the matter that caused a storm among the people.

Some people couldn't sit still, and the first to come to Dolgon was Tan Tai.

The boundary between the civil and military affairs of Manchu officials is not very obvious, and Tan Tai is one of the obvious ones, and his main merit is nothing else, which is the capture of Hong Chengchou. And now he walks in front of the palace and serves as a minister. Although Tan Tai is a confidant of Dolgon.

But the concept of who must be loyal to whom is a politician of a certain status is already very thin.

Dolgon wasn't sure if Tan Tai was just asking on his behalf. I only heard Tan Tai ask: "Your Highness, as soon as the hair shaving order comes out, I am afraid that Han people from all walks of life will rise up to rebel." Isn't this shaving order a little too early? ”

Dolgon said, "Shaving my hair is easy to wear, and it is fundamental to my dynasty." It was inherited by Taizu because of the attack. As early as Liaodong, they have already shaved their heads. And now, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and the Manchu and Han are differentiated. It's not like it's all the same, and it's much better to shave all your hair. ”

Tan Tai said: "Your Highness, the situation is unstable. ”

What Tan Tai said is not bad at all, there are bandits everywhere, spinning and destroying, needless to say, even Shandong, Nanzhili There are still some places that hold high the banner of Li Zicheng, and they don't seem to know that Li Zicheng is dead.

"This is all the more so because of the instability," Dorgon said. ”

"I am a small clan in a big country, the most important power, so that the Han people do not dare to light, and now the battle of Xiangyang, two defeats are wounded. Now is the time when people's hearts are panicking, but people's hearts are the most difficult thing to figure out. That's why I'm announcing the shaving order right now, so that those who oppose it will jump out. ”

"Just catch them all." The corners of Dolgon's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a cold smile and said, "I see that their necks are hard, or my knives are fast." ”

For a while, Tan Tai didn't know how to ask.

However, the shaving order has just been posted. When there was no result, a group of people led by Chen Mingxia, that is, the former Donglin people who surrendered to the Qing court, wrote a song to impeach every day. They are all impeached against Feng Quan.

Feng Quan had already reached this point, and Dolgon naturally wanted to protect Feng Quan, so he immediately ordered: "Feng Quan is loyal to this dynasty, and there is no need to mention the past." ”

The final word, this officialdom battle, ended in Feng Quan's victory. This also confirmed the split between the North and the South.

There is also a reason why Dolgon did this, not just to say that Feng Quan shaved his head.

After determining the premise that Xia could not be overcome, he established his rule over the north and used the manpower and material resources of the north to feed the rapidly expanding army of the Qing Dynasty.

And Feng Quan and others, no matter what their reputation, are probably northerners, while Chen Mingxia and others are probably southerners. Maybe something is wrong. But there's not much wrong with that.

And Jiangnan and other places have become the core area of Great Xia, and such a zone cannot be recovered at all if it is not defeated.

So the usefulness of Dr. Jiangnan to him has decreased.

Feng Quan naturally has to distinguish which is more important and which is more important.

It takes time for an order to spread, and when this order came, it immediately went to the outskirts of Beijing and prepared to start an incident.

The Qing army had a large garrison in the city of Beijing, and a Qing army immediately attacked, and it was easy to exterminate the rebels.

This is just the beginning.

In the future, it can be said that there are many local rebellions, and even if there are no rebellions, it seems that new rebellions are brewing.

During this period of time, all units of the Qing army attacked everywhere, ploughed and swept the holes wherever they passed, and brought back all the good things.

In such a situation, the prestige of the Qing army can make children stop crying in the north, and Beijing will calm down for a while.

But the dark tide is raging, needless to say. However, under this circumstance, the rule of the Qing army in the north, in the midst of encirclement, suppression, and counterinsurgency, further established the local order, and a lot of fertile land was collected into the possession of the Eight Banners.

However, this is not without side effects.

The side effects are also very large.

This new signboard of Daxia. I couldn't attract people at all before, so I took the initiative to defect. However, under the shaving order of the Qing army, some people took the initiative to go south, and many literati and doctors voted south. Bring a lot of talents to Great Xia.

Of course, after these talents go south, they may not necessarily come out to be officials, and there are many people who are in hiding.

Luo Yulong was overjoyed and accepted many soldiers from the north. During this period of time, Luo Yulong was also dealing with the affairs of Great Xia, and the Qing army borrowed the shaving order to keep his head without hair, and he kept his hair without leaving his head to rectify the order in various places. And Luo Yulong reorganized the army in Wuchang.

Further south, in the city of Changsha, Emperor Longwu was also rebuilding his own military institutions.

That is, the upper four prisons.

The upper four prisons were originally part of the Beijing camp, and later classified as the Tai Supervisor. And the Brave Guard Battalion is from this part.

Therefore, everything Emperor Longwu did was for one thing, that is, to grasp the power of the army.

After all, in the troubled times, the emperor who has no military power is useless at all, even if he does not go into battle to kill the enemy, but he does not even have an army to protect himself, then he can't do anything.

Fortunately, at this moment, it was not Zheng Zhilong who was by Emperor Longwu's side, but Ma Shiying and He Tengjiao. Both of them are Confucian ministers, although they don't like Longwu and martial arts, but they also know that it is a very moment, and it is difficult to refuse. I can only acquiesce.

In this way, Emperor Longwu had already commanded his first army, which was not a small number, but about 3,000 people, which was less than the quota. It's just to protect the court.
