287 Battle of the Central Plains (19)
"The rebels are surging in various places, what are they doing? It's not that they think about the Ming Dynasty, but it's just that some of the decrees of this dynasty make them unacceptable, so there is such a thing that fires the plains, and the minister means to immediately change the national policy in order to save the situation! ”
Dolgon's mansion, Dolgon recruited Fan Wencheng, Feng Quan, and Ganglin, these are the three people he trusts the most, and now in the face of such a situation, Dolgon is also helpless, and can only brainstorm, but for some people who fall into the well, Dolgon does not want to provoke, as long as they can settle down, he will turn a blind eye, and began to deal with the attitude of the well water not against the river water.
In the face of Feng Quan's words, Dolgon also fell into deep thought, and he also regretted a little, he was indeed a little unstable in many things recently, maybe because of the stimulation of others, or maybe because of Duoduo's illness, which made him a little confused, and he lost his former calm state.
Dolgon looked at Feng Quan and said, "Then tell me, how should I adjust?" ”
Feng Quan nodded, and continued: "There are three things, first, abolish the shaving order, the customs of the Han people and the Manchus are different, if I unify the Qing Dynasty and the situation is stable, it is all right to do this, but the current situation is not suitable for this time to forcibly change customs and arouse the resistance of the Han people, for many people, whether it is the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, it does not matter which dynasty they are the subjects of, just like the Mongols entered the Central Plains to establish the Yuan Dynasty, the people did not have any resistance, It is nothing more than that the Yuan Dynasty later exploited too much, which will arouse the revolt of the world, so this shaving order must be abolished, and the person who proposed this matter will be disposed of, and the people of the world will be given an explanation, so that it will not damage the prestige of the regent; The second is to reduce taxes, abolish the enclosure order, since I entered the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty, treat the Eight Banners Soldiers favorably, which is understandable, but the implementation of the enclosure order, many people's fertile land was innocently occupied, causing many people to hate my Eight Banners, the other is that I was in the Qing Dynasty when I was clearly told to the world, lightly punished the meager endowment, but years of war, harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that the people turned their backs on my Qing Dynasty, this is the disadvantage of the two; The third is to reuse the Han army and Han generals, so that they can also enjoy the favor of the imperial court, with all due respect, the imperial court fights, the Han army is always used as cannon fodder, and the Manchurian people are used as commanders, which makes many people feel unfair in their hearts, you must know that I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Qing Dynasty, of which seventy or eighty percent are Han army ......"
Feng Quan said his opinion in one breath, and then he also breathed a long sigh of relief, retreated to his seat and sat down, no longer speaking, he said everything that should be said, and the next thing is how Dorgon decides, he has done his duty as a courtier, and every word is a manifestation of his loyalty.
"Regent, the slave thinks that what Lord Feng said is very true, and Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, said very rightly, 'Jun, Zhouye; People, water too. If I can't treat the people well, how can they support us, and please think twice about the regent. Fan Wencheng also made a statement to Dolgon, indicating his intentions, and he completely agreed with Feng Quan's meaning, which was also what he said in his heart.
Dolgon is a Manchu, and all the Manchus have always been, under the instigation of Huang Taiji, they all boast of being superior and superior, and regard all non-Manchu people as slaves, which is the same as the militarism of small Japan later, only the Yamato nation is the best race, looking down on the rest of the nations, the emperor is long live, and the rest are dead and dead. This is also what Dolgon gave the Manchurians a lot of privileges after entering the customs, they are the last to fight in the war, and they stand in the front of the reward, and all the benefits are theirs, what will those who fight in the front and receive the reward in the back think, Dolgon doesn't care, but now he can't help but care.
Ganglin never spoke, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't dare to say it, he also understood what Feng Quan meant, but he still had that kind of thought, thinking that Feng Quan was just planning for himself, but he could also see that Dolgon seemed to approve of it, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"Ganglin, what do you mean?" Eventually, Dorgon asked about Gonlin.
"Slaves obey the regent's actions!" Ganglin is also a muddy man, so he can't say it, so as not to cause a commotion if he doesn't please it, he still understands the truth of self-preservation.
"The matter of the shaving order, you can abolish it first, as for the enclosure order, take your time, you can't snub the hearts of the children of the Eight Banners, as for the reduction and exemption of taxes, it is okay, and the matter of reusing the Han army and Han generals is also okay, you go back and give me a specific statement first, and I will decide!"
"Huh!" Feng Quan looked at Dolgon, and sighed in his heart, he didn't say anything, the choice was up to Dolgon, he could only do his best, what Dolgon did, then he couldn't care, everything depends on the will of heaven, it can only be like this.
Tianjin, when Qi Biaojia led the Beiyang Naval Division to Dagukou, Tianjin Governor Luo Yangxing was still asleep, Luo Yangxing was originally the commander of the Ming Jinyi Guard, and the official was the governor of Zuodu, and he had exposed that Zhou Yanru supervised the division out of Beijing to fight with the Qing army, and he did not send a single arrow, and he actually lied about the victory. Li Zicheng fell into Beijing, surrendered after the fall of the city, was chased out of 30,000 taels of stolen silver, after Dolgon entered Beijing, surrendered to the Qing, Dolgon sent him to patrol Tianjin.
The 30,000 soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division were divided into two routes, and 3,000 people led by Shi Lang led dozens of warships to attack the Dagukou Water Gate. The other way, led by Qi Biaojia himself, landed at Beitangkou, and then attacked Dagukou from the shore to cut off their escape route, with drums like thunder and shouts of killing.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, a cannonball slammed into a warship, and several arm-thick masts were instantly blown up. Dagu Koushui Village is in flames, seven or eight warships have been blown up and ignited, the fire is raging, the soldiers of the big ships have abandoned the boats and fled, the beach is full of scattered corpses, the battle for Dagu Koushui Port has been fought for less than half an hour, the Dagu port is full of corpses and bones, the blood flows like a river, the land under the feet is dyed with patches of red, more than 50 sea ships have been destroyed 11, the Qing army Tianjin Navy has killed and wounded as many as 1,000 people.
They wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape, Qi Biaojia ordered Wang Zhiren, Chen Bao, and Huang Wu, the commanders of the Beiyang Naval Division, to lead 3,000 men and horses to surround Dagukou, so that those fleeing Qing army sailors had nowhere to escape, and surrendered under the blow of the Ming army, and did not dare to resist, and the Dagukou fortress also fell easily.
After the capture of Dagukou, Qi Biaojia did not stop, but went up the Wei River and drove directly to Tianjin, his purpose was to directly threaten Beijing, the base camp of the Qing court, so that the Qing court would be in chaos, and he would not dare to easily send troops to the rest of the country to reinforce him.
Luo Yangxing is arranging tonight's banquet in the house, wanting to celebrate his 50th birthday, last night and today, he has been busy with birthday celebrations.
Just when he was happy, an adjutant general rushed over, came to Luo Yangxing in horror, and shouted: "Military Gate, Dagukou has been lost, and the Ming Army's naval division has attacked, and it is less than ten miles away from Tianjin City!" ”
Luo Yangxing's face also changed greatly when he heard this, and the loss of Dagukou meant that Tianjin had lost its barrier, and there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses in Tianjin, which was dangerous, he roared and ordered: "Immediately send an order, everyone prepares for war, and send people to the capital immediately to ask for help, which means that the army of 100,000 troops is pressing, and Tianjin is not in danger, please send reinforcements to the imperial court quickly!" ”
Immediately the four gates of Tianjin were closed, and Luo Yangxing couldn't care about his longevity, so he could only hold Tianjin City for the time being, and a person like him who repeatedly rebelled, he knew very well what his fate would be, and he could only follow the Qing Dynasty to the black.
