Chapter 167: The Beginning of the Great Qing Wash
"Is this fate?"
Yang Qing rested his head on Zhang Yan's thighs and looked sadly at the information of Jinyiwei in his hand.
This is half a month after the fall of Beijing.
After Wu Ruyi was killed, the generals who were dissatisfied with Li Zicheng's Juntian system simply chose to surrender to Dolgon to be their master, rather than continue to follow Li Zicheng to be equal to the mud legs.
Even though they all come from mud legs.
There's nothing strange about that.
People are the same, not to mention these Shun soldiers who don't have any faith, of course they followed Li Zicheng to rebel for the sake of equality for everyone, what they want to do is just a new magnate, but Li Zicheng's Juntian thought under Yang Qing's demagoguery cut off this possibility, how can everyone be the master of Juntian? Then it is not surprising that these people have betrayed him and turned to Dolgon, who can give them what they want, and as for loyalty or something, that is perfectly fine.
In this sense, the demon book that Yang Qing gave to Li Zicheng was a harm to him, if there was no thing that Yang Qing instilled in him, maybe Lao Li could still be saved, but his book made Lao Li, who had already shouted the slogan of Juntian free food, completely hopeless.
But Yang Qingzhen didn't want to trap him.
He really wanted to give Li Zicheng a guiding ideology to solve the problem, but unfortunately Li Zicheng still couldn't afford to smash the old world after all!
He still killed too little.
At the same time as the fall of Beijing, Liu Zongmin and Duoduo failed in the battle for Juyong Pass, Duoduo completely controlled Juyong Pass, and Zhang Tianlin on the northern battlefield was finally annihilated under the siege of the Mongol cavalry and Jiang Hao, this Shun army fought very tragically, they later increased to 20,000 Mongolian cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry under Jiang Jiu's department, and continued to fight fiercely for three days until all 7,000 people died.
The annihilation of their entire army left Liu Zongmin with no hope, and he was attacked by the north and south, and joined forces with Zhang Blackface, and fled westward to Ulzhou by a bloody road.
The Miyun defenders finally chose to surrender.
Then the gentry of Zhili sang and danced to celebrate the arrival of their savior, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry in various prefectures and counties were frustrated, and even the aspiring soldiers rose up to expel or kill those officials appointed by Li Zicheng, and then presented their sincerity to Beijing. The old nobles and civil officials and gentry in Beijing pushed Dolgon to the throne of the imperial palace as quickly as possible and severed relations with the Ming Dynasty, and even the institutions of the imperial court were quickly established, and in just half a month, the new dynasty and new atmosphere were filled in Beijing.
At this time, even in Shandong, there were officials who expelled Li Zicheng by the gentry, or those old officials who offered their sincerity to Dolgon with the support of the gentry.
As for the common people......
What else can ordinary people do?
More than a year is not enough for Li Zicheng to lay any mass foundation, in fact, he has no consciousness at all, because there is no cadre team of his own, and the vast majority of the localities are still those old magistrates, and the changes he has brought to the people are only the confiscation of taxes this year.
But nothing else has changed substantially.
I haven't even done rent and interest reductions.
In the final analysis, he is still incapacitated, whether it is his eagerness to go south, or his lack of purge of the gentry, and his neglect of some root problems, all represent the limitations of his ability.
After all, he couldn't support Yang Qing's expectations.
And Li Laiheng and Hao Shaoqi did not surrender.
One of them controls Shanhaiguan and the other controls Ningyuan, but there are only 30,000 horses in total, and the core is Li Laiheng's 10,000 Ningyuan army, which is the first main force under Li Zicheng, which was expanded from the 3,000 cavalry that followed Yang Qing in the bloody battle of Liaodong, but they can only hold on at this time, and then wait for the army led by Li Zicheng to return. However, Dolgon didn't care about them, and now Dolgon was overwhelmed by the surging sense of happiness, originally because it was estimated that he would not be able to survive this winter, so the desperate military adventure was so successful that even he himself was like a dream.
I can't believe it!
However, at this time, Dolgon did not have time to enjoy this happiness, he was working with those gentry to scavenge troops with all his might, preparing for the next duel with Li Zicheng.
For this battle, he not only brought in all the Mongol allies he could muster, but also exchanged some privileges for the support of those special allies, whose heroic performance had shown him their value, and it was difficult to find thugs who could charge with gunpowder bags on their backs. So the next big battle will be the great alliance of the entire northern bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, Jiannu, Mongolia, gentry, Korea, special species, and even some Sauron, all of whom appear in this alliance with the Eight Banners as the core, ready to meet their fateful battle, and even the Jin merchants have organized armed merchant groups to join.
And their enemies have returned.
Li Zicheng withdrew his troops.
The entire battle along the Yangtze River was over, and the 280,000 troops returned to the north, Li Zicheng didn't even bother to sign the peace treaty, as for why there were only 280,000......
Is Jin Shenghuan stupid?
Is Bai Yongfu stupid?
Why did they follow Li Zicheng to the north and fight Dolgon?
What's more, Li Zicheng doesn't even have enough food.
Jin Shenghuan gathered 200,000 chaotic new annexed troops to continue to control Xiangyang, and even Yunyang was seized by him, and Li Zicheng, who was eager to return to the north, didn't bother to bother with him, anyway, he was still his subordinates in theory, and besides, these wall grasses followed, and he was afraid that they would stab himself in battle! And Bai Yongfu led his subordinates to flee north to Yizhou as a warlord, and even many of the people who originally surrendered to Li Zicheng in Fengyang ran to him, and now Bai Yongfu is also an army of 100,000.
Anyway, they're crazy too.
Originally, he was at least worry-free on the side of Daming, but he was fooled by Xungui on the side of Qingjun, and after the failure, he took advantage of Li Zicheng's southward thinking to hug his thighs and make a lot of money together, but he didn't think that in a blink of an eye, Li Zicheng's old nest was copied, which made them unlucky.
In addition, Li Zicheng also killed and injured 100,000 people in Yangzhou, Xuyi, Hefei, Wuchang and other places.
His wounded Yang Qing picked up.
In order to let Lao Li go north to smoke Dolgon without distraction, Yang Qing received all 50,000 light and serious wounded from Li Zicheng, and it is difficult for these people to survive under Li Zicheng's current conditions, and he can guarantee at least half of them to survive.
But Lao Li still didn't worry about him.
Lao Li was afraid that he would stab him in the back, but he still left Gao Yigong to guard Xuzhou.
Originally, Li Zicheng went north and south, along the Huai line, and reinforced by Hanzhong, a total of 450,000 of his own troops, and after deducting the dead and wounded, there were actually about 380,000 left. Gao Yi led 50,000 to guard Xuzhou, and by the way, suppressed the possible rebellion of those gentry, especially Bai Yongfu, who had a very ambiguous deterrent attitude. Li Zicheng is now very uneasy about these surrendered officers and soldiers, even Ma Ke and others in Hanzhong did not dare to call back, and even Li Guo in Guanzhong was not transferred back to participate in the war, staying in Guanzhong to deter these guys.
Actually, it can't be tuned.
Anyway, there is another Zhang Xianzhong in the south!
Yuan Zongdi withdrew to Luoyang with 50,000 to suppress the possible resistance of the Henan gentry, and at the same time to hold the passage to Guanzhong, and the Ming Emperor and the civil and military officials who originally accompanied him were placed in Luoyang.
Li Zicheng was still reluctant to give up His Majesty the Emperor.
However, he just sent His Majesty the Emperor back, and Yang Qing didn't want it.
How nice that is!
Can there be an emperor like this?
In addition, Yang Qing also gave Li Zicheng 200,000 stone of military rations.
Saying that, if Dolgon knew this, it would be time to smoke Feng Quan's crow's mouth, Yang Qing not only wanted to give him this batch, but also tried to supply Li Zicheng in the future, so that Li Zicheng could rest assured and boldly smoke Dolgon. Even those civil officials supported this, after all, they were also afraid that Li Zicheng would simply break the kettle and sink the boat, so he didn't want the north, so he took hundreds of thousands of troops to grab Jiangnan, and then lost the north to Dolgon. You can give Li Zicheng some food, give him the confidence to regain the north, and prevent him from jumping over the wall to vent his anger in the south of the Yangtze River, but he can't give too much, not more than a month, anyway, there are canals that can supply him at any time, so as to avoid Li Zicheng taking enough food, but giving birth to the ambition of going south.
I have to say that they are all very cunning.
Yang Qing threw away the Chinese piece in his hand and comfortably buried his face on Zhang Yan's soft belly.
"Can Li Zicheng beat Dorgon?"
Zhang Yan said.
"Which of them do you want to win?"
Yang Qing said in a sullen voice.
"Dolgon wins, we have to face the southbound Jiannu, Li Zicheng won, it is estimated that he will not be able to take care of us in the short term, I think it is better to let the two of them stay like this, we can live a comfortable life in Jiangnan for a few days."
Zhang Yan said.
"Comfortable fart, King Gui hasn't solved it yet!"
Yang Qing bit her belly and said.
"Not what you want? But you can't kill King Gui, anyway, he is also the uncle of Emperor Daxing, as for King Jingjiang, he will kill him, and the remaining King Yi and King Huai can say that they colluded with King Gui, and let Jinyiwei find someone to come out to sue them, and King Hui is also like this, since King Ji is in Wuzhou, it is considered a rebel party, and it will be abolished together, as well as King Min's family, in short, these kings in Jiangnan just took advantage of this opportunity to be abolished. ”
Zhang Yan said.
"No wonder people say that the most poisonous woman's heart!"
Yang Qing exclaimed.
"Who told them to dare to speak ill of me!"
Zhang Yan said viciously.
In fact, it is impossible for them to really hide this bit of, and they don't know if they really have the inside story or purely fabricate to provide public opinion support for King Gui to claim the emperor, anyway, one of the accusations against Nanjing in Changsha is that Zhang Yan and Yang Qing have a personal relationship, and basically everyone will be punished for such a powerful minister and a demon queen.
"But what they say seems to be true!"
Yang Qing raised his head from her belly and said with a smile.
"Isn't that supposed to drag you, a messy and post-gong guy, out and put to death?"
Zhang Yan gritted her teeth and said.
"No, the Queen Mother, you will execute me personally, just use your mouth to kill me!"
Yang Qing said seriously.
Then the two of them rolled into a ball in an instant.
