In the imperial city of Beijing, the streets are sparsely populated, and last year the Shunzhi Dynasty of the puppet Qing Dynasty issued a military order, and in August Xin Si issued an order to the military department to "capture the population and reward the wounded in the city as usual." ”

That is to say, if you are a Han Chinese in the occupied area, any Manchu soldier will put a rope around your neck, and your whole family will become his slaves. If you get away with it, you will be tortured to death if you are caught, and it is legal for the Manchus to torture and kill their own Han slaves. And no matter who it is, as long as it is to take in fugitive slaves, it is a capital offense. Dolgon also developed a set of joint sitting methods, "those who hide and flee are beheaded, their neighbors and ten heads of family and hundred parents are not allowed to raise their heads, and those who are not aware of the magistrate are all sat together." The meaning of this law is that if you hide a "fugitive slave", all your neighbors closest to your house will die. Throughout the millennia, no such tyranny has ever been heard.

In the history of later generations, Geng Zhongming, one of the three feudatories, was afraid that the Manchus would kill his whole family because of the "fugitive slaves" in the camp, and he committed suicide in fear of crime in order to keep the family's wealth. The Han prince is still like this, which shows that under the arrogance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he really did not treat the Han people as human beings. He wanted to enforce their system of slavery in the most civilized land of the day.

In the small southern city outside the Donghua Gate in Beijing, the original Pudu Temple was renovated into the palace of Prince Rui, and the mansion of Dolgon, the number one man of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was full of slaves. Everyone walked with their heads down, for fear of touching the moldy heads of the Manchu royal families who came and went in the palace. These days the Prince of Tianrui Dolgon was in a very bad mood, and the loss of Huai'an was an unacceptable loss for him, and the Manchus lost their richest occupation zone from then on.

The shortage of materials made the money and food consumed by the hundreds of thousands of troops they raised became a huge burden on the puppet Qing court.

Dolgon, in his thirties, sat in the middle of the hall, he was in the prime of life, but he had recently been hollowed out by wine. Before entering the customs, Dolgon, who was fierce and strong, had a slightly fat body, two dark eyes, and a vague recklessness and decisiveness between his eyebrows.

There were also two middle-aged men kneeling in the hall, one was Ye Chengge, a bachelor of the inner courtyard, and the other was Al Shan, the director of the council.

Dolgon's face was square, his mouth was broad, and his beard covered his chin, and he did not look like he was thirty years old, but rather like he was forty or fifty years old and middle-aged. He pinched the two arms of the rosewood Taishi chair, and said in a deep voice: "In July, Jierharang lost his troops at Qingliu Pass, and in August, Wakda died in Huai'an with 80,000 soldiers. What can you two do? ”

The reason why the two people kneeling on the ground were called by Dorgon for questioning was because they were rare masters of wealth accumulation in the Manchu court. Dolgon repaired the palace, Ye Chengge took out 300,000 taels of silver in one breath, Dolgon was very happy, and immediately promoted him to be a scholar of the inner courtyard, and was crowned as a second-class Ada Hahafan.

Ye Chengge's face was in a cold sweat, the reason why he was rich when he repaired the palace at the beginning. It was because he took out all the money he had looted after entering the customs and made a political investment. Who knew that Dolgon regarded him as the God of Wealth from then on, and really thought that he had a good way to make money, which made Ye Chengge suffer. Ye Chengge secretly raised his head and glanced at Dolgon, only to see that his face was ugly. If he bluntly says that there is no way, he will inevitably become the object of his anger, and a beating and scolding will not count, and it may affect his career. Thinking of this, Ye Chengge's eyes rolled, and a poisonous plan came to his mind.

Ye Chengge raised his head, with a sinister smile on his loose face, a pair of small eyes narrowed into slits, and crawled forward and said: "Lord, the Han people have a lot of money in their hands, and the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty asked them for silver to pay the soldiers and horses in Liaodong, but they were stingy with their money and refused to take it out. Later, Li Zicheng went to Beijing, used a large iron flail, crushed hundreds of heads, and piled up mountains of silver. Now that we have encountered difficulties in the Qing Dynasty, I think it's time for them to pay their respects. ”

Ye Chengge deliberately vaguely said, in fact, Li Zicheng's subordinate Liu Zongmin forcibly took the money of the Ming Dynasty. As for the little people, Liu Zongmin didn't do much. Dorgon wasn't an idiot, he naturally heard the loophole, but deliberately didn't say it. The money of hundreds of officials has been squeezed again and again, and there is not much left, but there are many people in the Kifu area who have a solid family to escape the difficulty of "enslavement". In the Ming Dynasty, these families were at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and "Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families", which is a wealth that should not be underestimated.

Arshan was obviously moved when he saw the look on the face of the regent Dorgon. The two of them were called to give advice, how could they let Ye Chengge be preoccupied with beauty. It must be known that the Manchu Qing at this time not only enslaved the Han Chinese, but also enslaved them internally. Dorgon is their master, the master who controls their life and death, their wealth or their poverty. In order to invite favor, Al Shan shared Ye Chengge's credit, and flattery and ruthlessness appeared on his face at the same time, looking awkward and crazy.

"Lord Wang, the Han people are cunning and cherish money, although Ye Chengge's method is good, he may not be able to receive much money. The villain has an idea, to ensure that the Han people pay obediently, and they can also add a lot of soldiers and horses to our Qing Dynasty. ”

When Dolgon heard this, his face was gloomy, and he said happily, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Alshan's old face was raised, his figure was burly, and his appearance was relatively wild, but his kneeling posture did not match his appearance very well. Arshan, who pouted his ass like a male dog, said with a wicked smile: "After entering the customs, after fighting several battles, there are not many Eight Banner warriors left in our Qing Dynasty. These talents are the foundation of our people, and most of them are stationed near the capital. Why don't they let them "encircle slaves" near the capital, and all the captured Han slaves can hand over the silver to redeem their families. Those who could not take out the money were all classified as slaves, and let them form slave soldiers and send them to the battlefield in the south. Hehe, when the time comes, their families will be in our hands, and it is expected that they will not dare to surrender like the southerners. ”

When Dolgon heard this, he hesitated a little in his heart, this strategy was indeed ruthless enough, and it could also solve his urgent need. But in this way, the Han people near the capital will definitely resist fiercely. The policy that Dorgon had always wanted to pursue would become a joke. The Han people who have already been attached will also have different aspirations. But the benefits of this strategy were also immediate, and the Manchus could easily have an army of hundreds of thousands and huge salaries.

It's a ploy to catch a fish, it's not clever, it's even a little stupid. However, the Manchus had reached the brink of exhaustion, and this strategy was used in endless troubles, and it would be difficult for them to survive this period without them. The Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army was already approaching Shandong, and the garrison of Shandong was basically equivalent to no defense, and even the rebels in Shandong could not be defeated by those state officials stationed by the Qing court. In the past, every time there was a big trouble, Wakda sent troops from Huai'an to suppress it. Now that Wakda has been completely annihilated, it is only a matter of time before Shandong will be taken by the Northern Expeditionary Army without taking measures.

Seeing Dolgon's hesitant look, Arshan decided to take a dose of fierce medicine, and after he got closer, he whispered: "Lord, the two yellow flags and the two red flags are in Hanzhong and Xiangyang; The blue flag suffered heavy losses at Qingliu Pass; Zhenglan Banner defeated Yangzhou with Li led Tai's troops; The vicinity of the capital is full of our two yellow flag warriors. As long as the enslavement is reopened and all the Han people here are included in the Han slaves of our two white flag warriors, what will the other flags fight for us? ”

Dolgon stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with a scorching light, Hauge and the two yellow banners loyal to Huang Taiji's group had always been his confidants. His side suffered many misfortunes, first his brother Duoduo died in Jiangnan, and then Hong Chengchou, who he supported, also died. The eldest brother Azig has been defeated repeatedly in Xiangyang, and although he is still the regent of the imperial father, his power has been greatly reduced.

Secret letters repeatedly came from the Xiangyang front, saying that the generals of the two yellow banners had too close contacts with Zierharang. Zilharang is a hardcore confidant of Huang Taiji, and has always stood firmly on the side of Hauge, although he did not make a clear statement, but everyone in Manchuria knew it. At this time, Dolgon was already on the verge of being trapped in the inner suburbs, and it was very likely that the congregation would betray his relatives if he was not careful. The only thing he trusts is his two white flags.

Thinking of this, Dorgon finally made up his mind, leaned down and slapped the table and shouted, "Good! Then reopen the 'enslavery' in the Zhili area. ”

In September of the second year of Longwu (generally the second year after the death of the first emperor, the name of the year was changed), the regent of the puppet Qing emperor, Dorgon, ordered the reopening of the "enslavement" in the Zhili area, this time it was an indiscriminate "enslavement", and all the Han people who could not pay the ransom had to become the banner family slaves of the two white flags. The ransom for each "Hannu" was one tael of silver, which was the expense of a middle-class family for almost a year. There are only a handful of families that can redeem their entire family completely.

Families who cannot redeem all of their lives generally choose to abandon their daughters, but Manchurian people have rules that must start with the female dependents, and the men can only redeem themselves last. As a result, many men were forced to serve as slaves, and were organized into the army by the Manchus and became slave soldiers. For a time, Dolgon was in the limelight, with nearly 400,000 horses under his hands, and he also squeezed countless silver taels from the people of Zhili. However, this humiliating policy also caused the people of Zhili to rise up and resist, and no Han wanted to become someone else's domestic slave for no reason.

In mid-September, Dolgon ordered two white flags to send troops to exterminate the "rebels" near the capital, and the Qing soldiers took the opportunity to slaughter several prefectures and counties near the capital, turning the land into their own and letting the newly acquired Han slaves cultivate for them.

In Huai'an Mansion, Hou Xuanyan wore a dark armor, surrounded by soldiers behind him, and looked majestic. The fair face is now slightly bronzed, and the handsome cheeks are angular. The sword with a jade handle inlaid with gold sheath on the waist, holding a horse whip in his hand, climbing high and overlooking the distance, the autumn is high and refreshing, the sky is clear and lofty, and the maple leaves of the mountains are red like fire at a glance. As the sun set, in the cold autumn wind, teams of men and horses wore newly issued new army uniforms and walked on the ancient road below, and the new military uniforms were filled with cotton and warmed on their bodies.

Hou Xuanyan pinched his waist with his left hand, pointed at the horsewhip with his right hand, and asked, "What is the place in front?" ”

Qin He bent down and said, "Commander, there is an ancient city." ”

"What ancient city?"

Qin He scratched his head and said, "Back to the governor, this place is called Gucheng, a small town in Taoyuan County, Huai'an Prefecture. ”

"It's an interesting name, we'll be stationed here tonight and move on tomorrow morning."

Naturally, the ancient town could not accommodate an army of 100,000, and Hou Xuanyan sent Li Haoxian as the vanguard and went to Shandong with the Huozi battalion.

He took the Shuizi battalion along the river to the west, and responded to resist the Qing soldiers in Fengyang. According to the scout's report, Jierharang left a force to guard Fengyang, and personally led a large army to Huai'an, wanting to recover this rich Caoyun land. Judging by the pace of their march, it will take at least three days to arrive. Although Hou Xuanyan was not afraid of a battle, he still decided to be on the defensive for the sake of prudence and defend the west for the Huozi battalion. If something happens to him, not only will the Shuizi Battalion under his command be in danger, but the Huozi Battalion will also become a lone army, which is a taboo for soldiers.

By now, he has changed from a weak side on the defensive side to a strong attacker. The weak dare to fight, so Hou Xuanyan took several risks and gambled, but when he was strong, Hou Xuanyan stabilized his mind and strived to be foolproof. Zhuge is only cautious in his life, since he has the certainty of victory, why take risks.

The ancient city is a small town, and there is no official office, and the local governor is gray-haired, and he personally came to the camp and wanted to invite the grandfather of the country to enter the ancient city to rest for one night. Hou Xuanyan has been in the barracks for a long time, and the clothes on his body have not been washed for a long time, and he has been marching from Huai'an for three days, and his body is almost rancid, so he readily agreed. I grew up in the ancient city, this is a major event that can be written into the local county chronicles, and I happily bid farewell to the barracks and went back to prepare.

That night, Hou Xuanyan took more than 300 soldiers to the ancient city. The representatives elected by the people followed the old man and welcomed him into a quaint house.

Hou Xuanyan looked at it, and he was quite satisfied, so he stayed peacefully. Qin He led the soldiers to inspect the three layers inside and the outside three floors, and there was no danger, so he took him into the courtyard.

Pushing open the door, there were even some domestic chickens and ducks in the courtyard, which were enclosed in the corners of the courtyard. Hou Xuanyan's eyes lit up and asked, "Qin He, are there any scattered silver taels on your body?" ”

Qin He took out a money bag from his waist and said, "The last time I ambushed Wakda, the captured gold and silver were ordered by the commander to reward the three armies, and the share marked has not been spent. ”

"Okay, give you a face, you invite me to eat chicken today, go and give the owner of this courtyard a tael of silver, and we will open the meat."

The goose in the fence didn't know that his doom was coming, and he was still pulling his neck and calling loudly.

PS: Thank you for the reward of the indomitable heart 9527, thank you very much
