The soldiers of Datong Town almost killed the Qing officials in Taiyuan City, and copied a lot of money for Jiang Xiang, but after killing these people, it also brought Jiang Xiang a trouble, that is, there were no officials in Shanxi.

Jiang Xiang originally only controlled Datong, but now he wants to take the opportunity to control the whole of Shanxi, and his power has expanded dramatically, and he needs a large number of officials just to deploy logistics materials.

Hu Weizong had expected this situation, but when the soldiers of Datong Town killed the Shanxi officials, he did not stop it, because he was afraid that after these Qing officials surrendered to Jiang Xiang, Jiang Xiang would be arrested together in military affairs, civil affairs, and criminal punishments, which would become a hidden danger to the imperial court in the future, so he did not stop it, but proposed at this time to let Li Jiantai, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty in Shanxi, serve as the political envoy of Shanxi.

He was a Jinshi of the Apocalypse, and in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (1643), he was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University. In the spring of the following year, he asked for his life to gallop to Shanxi, and recruited soldiers to conquer Li Zicheng's Dashun army with private wealth, but just out of the capital, he heard that his hometown Quwo was occupied, he was frightened and sick, and entered Baoding, captured by the Dashun army, and then the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and he was called as a scholar of the Qing Inner Court, and soon he was dismissed and returned to his hometown.

Wang Yan was able to get in touch with Jiang Xiang, a big reason is because Li Jiantai threaded the needle from it, and he had been a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and he had a lot of prestige in Shanxi, and his protégés were very old.

This is the same as Wang Yan's use of Jiang Yueguang in Jiangxi, which can not only solve the current problem, but also contain Jiang Xiang in the future and prevent him from becoming a warlord.

This time, Wang Yan pacified Fujian and forced Zheng Chenggong to go to sea, largely because the two chess pieces he placed in Fujian had an effect. When Chen Zilong led 60,000 horses into Fujian, he surrendered without a fight, making the door of Fujian wide open, and the second is that Jiang Yueguang, as a political envoy to Fujian, was unwilling to meet with the imperial court, so that Chen Zilong could directly surround Fuzhou.

With Li Jiantai, this was explained by Wang Yan in advance, at least he could separate Shanxi's civil affairs from military affairs.

Jiang Xiang and Li Jiantai are also acquaintances, he has no one available now, and he doesn't think so much, he was dazzled by Wang Yan's promise of the title and title of the Duke of Jin and the Left Governor of the Right Army, I didn't expect Wang Yan to think about the future so early, but this is actually good for him, so as not to end up like Jin Shenghuan.

After the Ming Dynasty recovered Jiangnan, part of the Heaven and Earth Society was merged into Jinyiwei, and part of it was transferred to the north.

Since he had occupied Taiyuan, a city with great political influence, Hu Weizong immediately suggested that Jiang Xiang could announce to the world and clearly raise the banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty.

On 15 September, the day after Jiang Xiang occupied Taiyuan, he asked the people of Taiyuan to cut their braids and oppose the Qing Dynasty, and his staff drafted it.

On that day, outside the city of Taiyuan, flags were like clouds, dozens of salutes were lined up at one time, and nearly 10,000 soldiers and countless people of Taiyuan were asked to gather outside the city.

Many generals, as well as officials who defected to the Ming Dynasty, stood on both sides of the altar, and at this time, Jiang Xiang, dressed as a general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, walked up to the altar.

He glanced at the generals and soldiers on both sides of the formation, as well as the people all over the mountains, and then put one hand on his chest, patted on the armor on his chest, and said loudly: "Everyone, this set of armor, this handsome has been pressed under the box for ten years, and today it can finally be worn on the body justifiably, I am the same as Jiang Xiang, and I can finally focus on being a man, worthy of my heart!" ”

When the people below heard this, they all looked at him solemnly, and many people were touched in their hearts, how could it be that they hadn't worn the clothes and armor of the Han family for ten years.

Jiang Xiang said, and suddenly waved his arms, "Brothers, the people of the Three Jin Dynasty, I, Jiang Xiang, have decided to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, restore the Ming Dynasty, and recapture the country of our ancestors!" ”

"Raise troops against the Qing Dynasty and recover the Ming Dynasty!"

"Raise troops against the Qing Dynasty and recover the Ming Dynasty!"

The soldiers who were infected by Jiang Xiang's words, under the leadership of the generals, immediately raised their troops and shouted, and their voices were overwhelming, which could be transmitted for ten miles.

"Cut the braid and turn it away!" Jiang Xiang and the other soldiers shouted for a while, and suddenly shouted.

The soldiers who did not reduce their braids, as well as the people of Taiyuan, immediately took off the braid on their heads, cut off the pigtails at the back of their heads, and threw themselves to the ground in anger, discarding the shame imposed on the Han people by the Manchus.

When countless braids were cut off, the forty-nine salute cannons next to the altar were fired in unison, making a shocking sound, and in this exciting cannon, a staff member walked to the front, unfolded the inscription, and recited aloud in his most passionate voice: "The former chief military officer of Datong, now by the order of Prince Chu, the regent of the Ming Dynasty, the president of Shanxi Marine and Land Soldier Xingming begged to capture the governor of the left capital of the right army, the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and told the world to know: The cunning takes advantage of my inner void, the male according to Yandu, steals my Daming artifact, changes my Chinese crown, and the town deeply remembers the grace of the country, I wanted to wave to greet each other and sweep away the fishy atmosphere, but I lived alone in the north of Jin, exhausted my soldiers, and got the order of the king of Chu. ”

"Zibiyi is unreasonable, the officials are cruel and corrupt, the government is harsh, perverse, shaving and easy to decorate, banning the people from Hanfu, the people are resentful of the township, poisoning hundreds of thousands of living beings in the Three Jin Dynasty, and invading the world for a long time!"

"Xiang obeyed the order of the Prince of Chu, led the dignified division, cut down the violence and saved the people, the heroes of the three Jins, when the back of the heavens and men, and follow the general trend of the world, sing the righteousness of the Central Plains, entangle the strong men, and participate in the righteous deeds."

"Today, Datong Taiyuan descended, Xiang Yu showed the world, forget the people of the Three Jin Dynasty, do not forget the former lord of the Central Plains, heroes rise together, first restore Hedong, and then sweep Yanyun, chase the north to the outside of the plug, and extend the righteousness in the world."

"Today, the banner of righteousness is in one fell swoop, where the land east of the river, there is a person who wears a left hair, and the person who holds the army to resist the king's division, Xiang is to supervise the iron horse, and the person who goes to the nest is covered, and the old and childish are not left, and both men and women are punished. I hope that the officials and the people will think deeply and remember the warning, so that they will be fortunate and the world will be lucky. ”

With the spread of the text, the news that Jiang Xiang occupied Taiyuan anyway immediately spread throughout the land of Sanjin, and the world shook for a while, and the people of Hedong rose up when they heard the wind.

At this time, heaven and earth will infiltrate Shanxi for several years, and the effect is also reflected, and the anti-Qing forces in Shanxi have instantly become a prairie fire.

There are heroes in the northwest of Jin Province who practice and ride, and they attack the partial pass, Jiang Xiang takes the practice as the partial pass, and Ningwu and Baode are successively occupied by the practice.

Liu Qian, the former deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, also gathered the villagers to be strong, falsely claimed to be the chief military officer, attacked Yanmen, Daizhou, Fanzhi, and Wutai, and supported tens of thousands of troops.

In the southeast of Shanxi, Fen, Lu, Ze, Liao and other places rose together, and the whole of Shanxi was in a very short period of time, except for a very few prefectures and counties that were still waiting, the land east of the river was occupied by Datong officers and soldiers and the righteous army.

On the way, he wrote a note to Dolgon, explaining the situation in Shanxi, saying, "The traitors are not only Datong, Taiyuan, Hedong Bafu, more than 40 cities, and the rebels Jiang Xiang fraudulently claim to have 400,000 soldiers!" ”

Cai Yinggui's twists and turns were hurriedly sent to Beijing, and Dolgon, who had already obtained Jiang Xiang's rebellion from Xuanfu, was still so shocked that he vomited blood and fainted.
