Chapter 227: Stabilizing the People's Hearts
In order to change the topic, Senator Yan Ximing came out and said: "My lord, this is really a serial plan, my lord first sent General Chen to lead his troops to attack the city, so that Haoge had no time to take care of him, and then ordered Niu Qian to sneak attack, and finally released the news that Zhao Ronggui led his troops to surrender." Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
My lord, is Zhao Ronggui really obedient to my loyal army? ”
Yang Xuan was slightly stunned, and was about to answer, when he suddenly saw a scout come to report that Zhao Ronggui had sent an envoy to the front of the camp and was about to discuss the matter of returning to Shun.
Forced by Haoge and Liu Jinzhong, Zhao Ronggui led his troops to Shun Manchu Qing, and then was ordered to lead his troops to attack Long'an Mansion.
Zhao Ronggui was shocked, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss the matter, and his nephew Zhao Desheng advocated that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was brutal, and there was no eternal age, and everyone should protect Sangzi since they were Sichuan people.
The sudden rise of the Loyal and Righteous Army is even more highly anticipated, and everyone has worked together under the account of Governor Chen Shiqi in the past.
Zhao Ronggui couldn't make a decision for a while, but he still led his soldiers and horses to gallop to help Baizhang Pass, and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the loyal army occupied the dangerous pass ten miles outside the pass, and sent an envoy to discuss the matter of returning to Shun.
This was the first army to take the initiative to submit to his own troops, after receiving the news, Yang Xuan was overjoyed, and reorganized his department into the 12th Regiment, making Zhao Ronggui the chief soldier, and his nephew Zhao Desheng as the 12th Regiment Division.
At the end of the second year of Longwu, Yang Xuan, the governor of Yunyang of the Ming Dynasty, led the 30,000 loyal and righteous troops of his department to defeat the Manchu and Mongolian armies led by the prince of Manchu and Qing Su in Shunqing City, and then pursued the Qing army for more than 600 li, defeated the Qing army in front of Langzhong and Baizhang Pass, and defeated his 6,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, 3,000 Han Army Eight Banners and 40,000 soldiers and horses.
After the defeat of Die, Haoge led 2,000 Manchurian Eight Banners and 8,000 Green Battalion soldiers and horses to flee into Hanzhong, so that the Loyal and Righteous Army completed the strategic deployment of closing the door and fighting dogs.
Yang Xuan was originally going to wait for Luo Luohun with ease and labor, according to the way Heluo would retreat in a hurry that day, if the Qing army deep into the hinterland of SC retreated to Baizhang Pass, it would inevitably be sleepy and difficult to fight.
After resting in Baizhang Pass for several days, but one news after another came one after another, which shocked Yang Xuan.
First, Emperor Longwu was defeated and killed, and Nanming lost a second emperor.
The original thing is like this, with the support of Zheng Zhilong, Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian became emperor in FJ, but Emperor Longwu and Zheng Zhilong each had their own plans, and in the end they went their separate ways.
Zhu Yujian, Emperor of Longwu, was the most pioneering emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and after being proclaimed emperor, he was aggressive and enterprising, hoping to open up the territory and restore the Ming Dynasty. But Zheng Zhilong just hopes to rely on Zhu Yujian's political influence to control FJGD and other southern territories and become a local emperor.
When the cabinet ranked, Zheng Zhilong thought that he supported Zhu Yujian as the emperor and hoped to be the first assistant, but Zhu Yujian liked the auxiliary minister Huang Daozhou and relied on the emperor's authority to forcibly appoint Huang Daozhou as the first assistant.
Since then, Zheng Zhilong has been extremely uncooperative with Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian's various policies, and no one wants money or money, so Emperor Longwu's behavior has been subject to many restrictions.
In order to get rid of Zheng Zhilong's restrictions, Zhu Yujian, Emperor Longwu, once wanted to conquer in person, but was blocked by Zheng Zhilong's public opinion.
But studying and fighting are completely different things, Huang Daozhou was shot by the Barbarian Qing just after leading the army and not going far, and a generation of Confucians died in this tragic battle.
After seeing the death of Huang Daozhou, Emperor Longwu got rid of Zheng Zhilong's entanglement and led thousands of soldiers and horses to the Northern Expedition
At that time, the governor of JX had just restored Ganzhou, and Ganzhou was located at the junction of GDFJHN, if he could reach Ganzhou and command the northern expedition of the troops of the three provinces, it was expected to recover JX and then the land south of the Yangtze River.
But Zheng Zhilong wanted to become the overlord of the two provinces of FJGD, and secretly made peace with the Manqing, and the Manqing took the opportunity to pass through Xianxialing, Li Chengdong took the lead, and was shot by the Manqing in FJ Tingzhou in August of the second year of Longwu (1646 AD), and the most pioneering emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty was killed by the Manqing for no reason.
After hearing the news that Emperor Longwu was killed, with the support of Qu Shiyun, the governor of GX, Emperor Yongli on the tenth day of October in this year (the second year of Longwu), Zhaoqing supervised the country, with Ding Kuichu as the chief scholar and secretary of the military department, and Qu Shiyun as the scholar of Dongge University and the left servant of the Ministry of Officials to manage the affairs of the book, and at the same time appointed officials of various ministries.
But after seven days of imprisonment, the barbarian Qing occupied JX Ganzhou, although Zhuzhou was far from Zhaoqing, but the Yongli Emperor's subordinates were frightened, and at the initiative of the eunuch Wang Kun, the eunuch of the Yongli Emperor, the Yongli Emperor abandoned Zhaoqing and fled to Wuzhou.
Emperor Yongli's habit of fleeing from the wind caused the GD military and people to be greatly dissatisfied, and Su Guansheng, a scholar of the Longwu Dynasty, together with Gu Yuanjing, the political envoy of the GD, and Wang Yinghua, the squire, in accordance with the principle of brother to brother, invited Zhu Yulu, the younger brother of Emperor Longwu, to supervise the country in Guangzhou, and before Zhu Youlang, he officially proclaimed himself emperor on the fifth day of the same month, and changed the second year to the first year of Shaowu
In this case, there are two prison states and two emperors in the country, and the Chinese pay attention to the two masters of heaven and the people, so that Emperor Yongli and Emperor Shaowu are opened.
This news makes people rush to regret, but another news makes people see the cruelty, and everyone who hears it is terrified. In the second year of Longwu, the Manqing Dynasty carefully planned a case, under the pretext that the BJ people wanted to support Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, and the crown prince left by Emperor Chongzhen, the Hongguang Emperor Zhu Youxiang, and many princes of the country were all executed by Ling Chi, which is the famous golden seal case in history.
Hearing the news, everyone was sad and indignant, everyone scolded the brutality, and one by one they even said that they would pay for their blood debts.
Emperor Longwu was killed, western Sichuan fell, and now everyone is panicking, Yang Xuan ordered the execution of the captured Manchu ZLQ Gushan Ezhentun Qita, the Mongolian capital Ma Laxi, and the captured Green Battalion General Bai Yongfu, Liu Jinzhong, Zhang Desheng and others, thinking that the Southern Ming Emperor was avenging.
In particular, Bai Yongfu, Liu Jinzhong, Zhang Desheng and other traitors were pulled to the Wumiao outside the city to kill, different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty sealed Guan Yu people, and before the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was respected, and Yue Fei was respected in the Ming Dynasty.
After beheading and capturing the Manchu generals, Yang Xuan ordered a funeral for Emperor Longwu.
The soldiers put white cloth on their left hands, and the local prefects and counties held a national funeral to show their final respect to the emperor who took the lead and led the army north.
Gong Wanjing, Zhang Hong and others presided over the "Popular Magazine" published a series of articles, in addition to publicizing the defeat of the Tartars by the loyal army, but also encouraging everyone to fight back against the Tartar invasion together, and to pay the blood debt with blood.
Considering that the people were afraid of the Barbarian Tartars, in addition to escorting the captured Tartar generals to various battalions and beheading them for public display, they also chopped off the thumbs of the remaining hundreds of Tartar captives and escorted them to various places to behead them one by one for public display.
Watching the Tartars being escorted over, although they were tall, their strength was not much greater than that of these medium-sized loyal soldiers.
They are all strangely shaped, especially the small handful of rat tails behind their heads, which is even more hilarious.
In order to improve the morale of the soldiers, Yang Xuan even let these prisoners compete with the soldiers of the Loyal Army in the camp, and if they won three games in a row, they could temporarily survive for ten years.
This can make everyone quite interested, in order not to lose face, the battalion thousands of generals have sent a few practitioners first, these real Tartars are rarely able to lose three games in a row, after seeing the defeated Tartars have been pushed down and beheaded, everyone laughed even more.
In the end, some ordinary soldiers dared to go up, seeing that these real tartars were not only tall but so hard, the fear in everyone's hearts was even more gone.
Seeing the drama of killing Tartars staged in various military camps from time to time, Zhang Hong persuaded Yang Xuan and said: "General, you can kill people, how can you let people kill them, how can you let the soldiers tease them and then let them behead them?" Are you violating righteousness and morality by doing so?
Yang Xuan shook off the brush in his hand and scolded: "Zhang Hong, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other." The barbarians are human, but the things they do are not as good as beasts.
You see, they even killed the crown prince of Emperor Chongzhen, even the Hongguang Emperor who surrendered, and the grandfather of the Ming Kingdom who surrendered, they didn't kill, they cut these people with a thousand knives, did they talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?
They invaded the Central Plains and created the bloody incident of the three massacres of Jiangyin in Yangzhou on the tenth day of Jiading, did they talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?
In addition, what is more important is that the soldiers are afraid of the barbarian Tartar like a tiger, and the people talk about the color change of the Barbarian Tartar, under the rendering of some people, don't you say that the Barbarian Tartar has a green face and fangs, three heads and six arms, and is invulnerable?
My behavior is not only for revenge, but to break the fear of the barbarian Tartars in the hearts of the soldiers. A few days ago, the various departments were still pondering whether they needed to send a master of the family to fight, and two days later, many ordinary soldiers were doing it.
If you think about it, these ordinary soldiers can defeat the Tartars during training, so everyone no longer has to be afraid on the battlefield, and no longer believe that the Tartars have green faces and fangs, three heads and six arms, and are invulnerable. ”
Yin Chengqi next to him took over the topic and said: "Zhang Experience, in addition to this reason, the adults sent these Tartars to the people, but also cut off the hearts of the local squires and the people." ”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and some of them were even amazed.
