Chapter 317: Manchu Reinforcements
At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed, and Emperor Longwu has completely become a thing of the past.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, Hou Xuanyan was on the front line, and such a major event as the date was determined, but he had to wait until he returned to Beijing to make a decision.
In the Wenyuan Pavilion, three scholars and officials from the six ministries gathered together to discuss the name of the new emperor. Hou Xuanyan was a little vain, his eyelids drooped and he looked a little listless, and the vigorous man-making movement these days had hollowed out the body of Yue Guogong.
Several civil officials blew their beards and stared, arguing there, and Hou Xuanyan was confused and probably understood. Zhang Huangyan and others prefer to call it Wule, and take one word from each of Hongwu Yongle, hoping that the new emperor can inherit the courage of his ancestors and restore the Central Plains; A group led by Ma Shiying advocated the era name Qingyou, which was taken from Qingyuan Jiayou. The two sides insisted on their own words and quarreled fiercely.
Originally, they wanted Hou Xuanyan to take ideas, but who knew that Hou Xuanyan was not interested in these things, so he said casually: "You can watch and do it." β
Since Hou Xuanyan did not interfere, Zhang Huangyan and Ma Shiying refused to give in, and Liu Shouyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, did not dare to offend the left and right in the middle.
Jiang Jianxun took the opportunity to come to Hou Xuanyan's side, leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Guogong, aren't you curious why they are arguing?" β
Hou Xuanyan's heart moved, he thought that this was just a pain in the idle eyes of civil officials, and there was a mystery in chewing words?
"Tell me about it."
Jiang Jianxun said in a low voice: "This matter can only be understood, not spoken, it all depends on the ambition of the Guogong." β
Although Hou Xuanyan did not express his position, he sat in the cabinet, which was still the center of the hundred officials. When the quarrelling civil officials saw the movement here, they all looked sideways.
Hou Xuanyan pulled Jiang Jianxun and came to the inner room of Wenyuan Pavilion, which was a place for scholars to rest after their offices, and the officials could not follow in even if they were curious.
Hou Xuanyan spread his hands and said, "I don't have any ambitions, it's just the Northern Expedition." If the world is peaceful and Hu Er escapes, the vision in the heart of the public of the country is just to lead the yellow dog and his wife, and hunt between the mountains and rivers. β
Jiang Jianxun's expression was playful, and he said: "In this case, the lower official suggested taking the word martial arts, the courage of striving for eternal happiness, the virtue of glory and martial arts, and the light of the world by my Daming." Your Majesty will be able to take us to recover China, revitalize China, and reproduce the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. β
Hou Xuanyan was silent, and after walking out of the inner room, he called the officials of the Ministry of Rites to his house.
The next day, the imperial court promulgated a decree and set the year name as: Jing Yu. It was the first year of Jingyou, and it was also the fourth year of the Shunzhi of the puppet Qing Dynasty, the fall of the north had not yet recovered, and the south of the Yangtze River was already a good situation.
In the city of Beijing, in the palace of Prince Rui Dolgon, Dolgon has recently become moody, and many subordinates of the palace have been whipped to death for no reason, which makes people panic, and the people who are waiting in front of them are all cautious, and they see Dolgon carrying twelve cautions on the side, for fear of violent death.
The situation in Shandong continues to change, and the Babuhai that they have come out of is too frightened to return to Shandong.
Ahadan sat in the lobby, also sitting on pins and needles, and the regent Dorgon's face was gloomy, and his eyes shone with a terrifying light, looking like a wild wolf that devoured people.
"Ahdan, you are the son of Yanguli, born with the blood of a brave man. Now that the Han people in the south are so loud, especially in Shandong, it has reached a situation where the Manchurians dare not show their heads, what can you do? β
Ahadan's father was Yanguli who followed Nurhachi to conquer the Jurchen tribes, and was a first-class meritorious hero of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and one of the founding fathers. It's a bit bold to pass it on to his generation. Since entering the customs, he has also made many military exploits, but since Duoduo retreated to the north to escape the summer, he has not fought against the Ming army again. In his impression, the Han people are still the group of people who fell in love and killed each other, but I don't know how they have become so difficult now.
"According to the minions, we lose too few people in armor, and one less soldier dies. It is better to mobilize the Mongols from the Chahar, Khalkha, and Horqin departments to enter the customs, and also let the Koreans also gather a group of soldiers and horses, so that they can go to the Central Plains and fight to the death with the southerners. In this way, we can not only protect our Eight Banners warriors who can fight well, but also defend the Central Plains. Today, the Qing court has given up the plan to march south, and in their opinion, it is good to be able to divide the river and rule and reproduce the confrontation between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.
Dorgon nodded, a smile finally on his face, and the idea had come to his heart these days.
The Mongols have fallen to this point because they have lost their king and are being bullied like a mess. In addition to the soldiers and horses that were incorporated into the Eight Banners of Mongolia by Nurhachi, Mongolia also has the Forty-Nine Banners of the Six Leagues of Inner Mongolia and the Eighty-six Banners of Outer Mongolia, and the colors of these bannermen are not regulated, because no matter how good they are, they are also miscellaneous troops. Dorgon was well acquainted with the Mongols, and knew that they would be a formidable force if they were all brought together.
Korea and the Manchus had centuries-old grievances, attacking each other, and one was the other. North Korea has not always been at a disadvantage, and for a long time, North Korea even pressed the entire Jurchen tribe so that they could not raise their heads. Suffice it to say that, apart from Japan, the longest-lasting and most threatening enemy with Korea was the Manchus. Geographically, Manchuria, the homeland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, that is, the Liaodong Peninsula, is only separated from the Korean Peninsula by a Yalu River. It is much closer than the Tsushima Strait, which separates Korea from Japan. In the history of Korea, there have been many external troubles of "southern and northern captives". "Nanwa" refers to Japan, while "Beiyu" refers to the Jurchens and later the Manchu Qing dynasty.
It was not until the Manchu Qing Dynasty came out with an Emperor Taiji that the balance between the two sides was broken, and the Emperor Taiji took Dolgon to fight Korea twice and completely subdued them. Dorgon remembered that it was he who broke into the city, took the entire Joseon royal family hostage, and brought the old rival into submission.
"It's easy for Mongolian soldiers and horses to enter the customs, but North Korea... They have always been afraid to send troops at both ends. As one of the main generals of the Korean conquest, Dorgon was well acquainted with the characteristics of this people.
Ahadan had been staying in Shengjing some time ago, and he was very clear about the situation in North Korea, and said with a smile: "The prince doesn't know that since we entered the customs, the Qingxi faction in Korea that still has hope for the Ming Dynasty has been swept away, and all the members have been killed. At the same time, Jin Zidian, who was in the Luo Party within the Gongxi faction, had been advocating sending troops to help us in the Qing Dynasty and eliminate the Jiangnan forces of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty after he obtained the position of leading the government. The regent has now decreed that it is in their hearts, and it is too late for them to rejoice. β
Dolgon was overjoyed when he heard this, he had 400,000 slave soldiers who had been enslaved in the past, although the combat effectiveness was low, and the morale and loyalty were very low, but at a critical time, he could be used as a commander of the Western Xia. Bang Linglang is the masterpiece of the party members of the Western Xia in the Song Dynasty, generally composed of Han soldiers, mainly responsible for charging into battle, as a synonym for "cannon fodder", which is equivalent to cannon fodder. The source of this Linglang army was to select brave and good fighters from among the captured Han Chinese to form an army, and let them charge in front, so as to reduce the casualties of the party army.
These slave soldiers were not idle on weekdays, they were strictly guarded, and they were responsible for cultivating the land that was forbidden by the Manchus.
With such 400,000 cannon fodder, plus Mongolian and Korean soldiers and horses, Dolgon himself still has 50,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, and he instantly regained his confidence. As long as Shandong is held, on the western front, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde and others even have a little upper hand. As for Fengyang's Jierharang, it was also the last card of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, with outstanding military achievements and Manchurian soldiers with two blue flags, and it was not a problem to hold the middle route army of the Northern Expedition. Only the Eastern Route Army first entered Shandong as if it were no one, and then continued to intrude, so that the Manchu people in Shandong did not dare to speak, for fear of revealing their Manchu identity.
"Haha, Ahdan, you are worthy of being the son of Yanguli, and you are indeed resourceful."
Ahadan stood up, bent down and said, "The prince has carried his love, and the slave will die to repay the prince's great kindness." β
"I will send you to North Korea and let your uncle Tan Tai go to Mongolia to take charge of this troop transfer. As long as this important thing is done, I will make you a tow Sha Lahafan. β
Ahadan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he had already inherited his father's super prince, and the regent actually promised him a tow Sha Lahafan. You know, that's just the equivalent of a thousand.
Recently, the regent Dorgon has made many strange remarks, and even once scolded Dordor and Azig for his men to arrest them and punish them. What's worse is that Dolgon often knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, which meant crying to the emperor. You must know that Duoduo has been dead for a year, and Huang Taiji has died a long time ago, and there have always been rumors in the deep palace that there is something wrong with the regent's head, and now it seems that what he said is true. Ahadan didn't dare to refute, and Shane retreated. Dorgon stood up excitedly, rubbing his hands together in high spirits.
Walking out of Prince Rui's mansion, Ahadan went to his second uncle Tan Tai's mansion in a hurry, this time he made meritorious suggestions, and when Dolgon came to his senses, he would definitely reward them greatly. And he got a beautiful difference, and now in North Korea, the flattering Manchu power is in full swing, and he is not enjoying the same treatment as the emperor when he arrives in Korea, thinking about it, he can't wait to go.
North Korea and Mongolia are also very uncomfortable now, and the winter outside the customs is getting more and more difficult.
The extreme cold and heavy snowfall made them extremely envious of the Manchurian brothers who no longer had to live outside the Guan, especially since Mongolia was like a life and death pass every winter. The tail of the Xiaoice River era will make these barbarians have blue noses and swollen faces, and they will not be able to farm and store grain, one by one like beasts with sharpened teeth and ready to enter the customs to eat meat and suck blood.
In the first month of the first year of Jingyou, Tan Tai and Ahadan set out from Beijing, one to Mongolia and the other to North Korea. Soon, on the land of the Central Plains, there will be two fierce Yidi soldiers and horses.
