Ming Chongzhen fifteen years, Jianzhou Chongde seven years. Ｘ

In September, Chen Xinjia was sentenced for many crimes in the frontier.

Before Chen was killed, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, wanted to save him one last time, "Your Majesty, according to the law of the country, as long as the thieves do not come to the capital, Da Sima will not be guilty of death." ”

The emperor sneered, "Putting aside the affairs of the frontier for the time being, the rogue killed my seven relatives, isn't Chen Xinjia's crime greater than that of the slave riding Bo Linjing?" Chen Xinjia must die. ”

Zhou Yanru sighed, a little desperate. The emperor has been addicted to killing people in recent years, and Zhou Yanru is the only one who can influence the emperor and free him from the murderous rage. If Zhou Yanru can't be saved, that person will die.

But the emperor is really deceiving himself, and the whole world knows that Chen Xinjia is in accordance with the emperor's instructions to negotiate peace with Jianzhou, and after being attacked by Shilin, the emperor threw out the scapegoat for killing people and destroying mouths.

October 14, Shenyang. The sky was overcast and the wind was cold.

The blacksmith shops outside Shenyang stretched for several miles, and hundreds of ugly-looking Eight Banners patrolled the blacksmith shops. The Han Chinese slaves desperately pulled the bellows, the flames danced in the cold wind, and the blacksmiths, who were higher than ordinary slaves, pulled out the red-hot iron embryos, put them on the anvils and beat them, and sparks splashed everywhere. Countless such hammer blows converged together for a long time.

Pavilion of the Ten Kings.

All kinds of Jianzhou military flags were pulled in the wind around the central square, making a hula sound.

Qingning Palace, the residence of Huang Taiji and Da Yu'er.

The fat Huang Taiji stood in the middle of the palace, and when he was young, he was also a fierce general, because he was fond of eating fatty meat, and now he has become a super fat man.

The subordinates of the chief are the left wing of the Eight Banners, the main white flag of the Rui County, the king of Rui County, the white flag of the white flag, the Wang Duoduo of Yujun, the owner of the blue flag, and the prince of Shuosu, Haoge; The owner of the two red flags on the right wing and Prince Shuoli Lao Daishan, and the owner of the blue flag and Prince Shuo Zheng Jierharang.

The rest of the Manchurian kings and the three kings of the Han army were second to the major banner lords.

Huang Taiji: "Spare Baylor." ”

Abatai came out of work and knelt down, "The minions are here." ”

"Let you be the general who is ordered, and lead the left and right wings of the army to conquer the Ming Kingdom in the twenty-four solid mountains."

His forehead touched the ground, and Abatai replied loudly, "The slave obeys." ”

Huang Taiji continued to roll call, "Turg." ”

The white flag Gushan really knelt on the ground, "The slave is here." ”

"Let you be the deputy general of this expedition, and assist Rao Yu Baylor."

"The slave obeys the order, thank the emperor for his grace."

Huang Taiji personally helped Abatai up, "Seventh brother, you always say in private that you are a deputy general every time you go on an expedition. This time, I handed over half of the armor soldiers in the country to you, so that I could do it. ”

Abatai lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at his eighth brother, "The slave must live up to the emperor's grace and will definitely turn the Ming Kingdom upside down." ”

Huang Taiji took Abatai's hand, "Seventh brother, our entry this time is different from before. I let you enter the customs this time, not by reckless force. ”

Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Duoduo had a disdainful sneer on his face, and the hypocritical eighth was about to pretend again.

Huang Taiji looked compassionate and compassionate, "I can't bear to harm the living souls, and I want to reconcile with the Ming Kingdom many times, but the monarchs and ministers of the other country are obsessed with it, so I order you to go to the expedition and wake up the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Kingdom as soon as possible." ”

There was a sudden cry in the crowd, the former deputy general of the Ming Army Ning Yuanwei, now the Jianzhou Inspectorate Cheng Zheng, the Han Army inlaid with the blue flag of the first class Melle Zhangjing Zhang Cunren knelt on the ground, kneeling forward, "My emperor is magnificent, virtue is born, it is really the blessing of the people in the world." The slave is embarrassed and grateful. ”

Zhang Cunren was a vulgar military general in the Ming Dynasty, and it is really ironic that he was able to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate represented by Wenchen Qingliu in Jianzhou.

Duoduo scolded softly in an imperceptible voice, "Dog minion. ”

Dorgon coughed softly and shook his head gently at his brother.

Huang Taiji kindly motioned to Zhang Cunren to get up, and he continued to say to Abatai and Turge: "When you enter the territory of the Ming Kingdom, don't kill the old, weak and idle people at will; Do not be captives, strip their clothes, or leave their wives; Do not burn the grain, and do not spoil the grain. The last time the army entered Shandong, the first soldier was tortured for extorting property, which was not a benevolent and righteous army, and I was very disgusted. Take this as a warning. ”

Huang Taiji said as he looked at Han Chen recorded in the palace out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but feel very satisfied when he saw that he was writing hard. This trick is learning from Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and sometimes, Han Chen's idea is really good.

Abatai has been cleaned up by Huang Taiji for more than ten years, and he bowed his head and stood solemnly, "The slave obeys the emperor's will." ”

Huang Taiji changed the Manchu language and said, "The newly captured Mongols and Saurons in Jinzhou are serving in front of the army this time. If they have been captured, do not hunt them down, but let them bring them back themselves. If they can't take it, you'll have to help. If you let them return home empty-handed, I will give them your captive. ”

"The minions don't dare, the minions must follow the emperor's teachings, treat the newly annexed Mongols and Han people as one, and capture everyone equally."

Schizophrenia, Duoduo is about to vomit out his breakfast, and Lao Ba uses Chinese to tell people not to loot and kill more, while talking about looting and distribution in Manchu, and the degree of hypocrisy once again breaks through the limit of Duoduo's lack of imagination.

Dolgon, however, listened thoughtfully.

"Two big pieces of waste", Hauge looked at Dorgon and Dodor with disdain from behind. The most incompetent of the two Manchurian kings behaved very poorly in the Battle of Songjin, especially Dolgon, who was actually beaten by Wu Sangui's Nikan and fled, losing the face of the strong soldiers of Jianzhou. These two white flags are fighting, and only Azig can be seen in the past.

Ah Shan, Tan Tai, Ye Keshu, He Luohui, Wu Lai, Zhun Ta, Batma, Shi Tingzhu, Zu Zerun, Li Guohan, Jin Li, Wu Shoujin, Huo Luohui, Emoktu. Huang Taiji continued to call the names of the generals who went out.

In this Eight Banners Southern Expedition, Jianzhou mobilized half of the armor soldiers. In fact, there is nothing unusual about the Eight Banners system, Nurha is a genius, as an illiterate barbarian, all he can learn is to copy the Ming Dynasty system. The Eight Banners are completely a copy of the guard, and the forward battalion and the guard battalion engaged in by Huang Taiji are also the battalions under the Ming Dynasty suppression system. The initial officials of the Eight Banners were all governors (Manchu, jusen dutang), that is, Zhushen Dutang, general soldiers, deputy generals, guerrillas, garrisons, and thousands of Chinese words, and the old slaves only knew these. It wasn't until the Huang Taiji era that it was changed to Melle Zhangjing, which seemed to be more flavorful.

Huang Taiji changed the Eight Banners from a combat unit to a household registration unit, and when fighting, troops were drawn from each banner and handed over to a certain general to lead them. This is almost the same as the Ming Dynasty recruiting troops from various guards and letting the general lead the generals. but one is forcible and the other is bought with silver.

Jianzhou has nearly 600 leaders and semi-leaders in the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, and according to the theoretical calculation of 60 armor soldiers for each leader, there are about 18,000 armor soldiers in half of the troops. In the tradition of the Eight Banners, one-third of the armoured soldiers of each assistant leader are non-"troopers" (Manchu, tucire coohai niyalma), that is, guarding the armor and guarding the city.

This figure is not accurate, and the Chinese archives of Jianzhou recording the previous battles are all myths. What broke through thousands of Ming troops, and only killed and injured nine people, is rambling nonsense. Taking the two battles of Phi Dao as an example, in the first battle of Phi Dao, the Chinese recorded that Jianzhou lost two people, but in fact more than 1,000 were killed. The most reliable is the second Battle of Phi Dao, the Chinese record of Jianzhou killed 40 people, but in fact, in the last decisive battle between Jianzhou and Shen Shikui, the general soldier of Dongjiang Town, there were 240 people killed in the Eight Banners, and there must be more in fact. After the casualty record of the Battle of Phi Dao, the old Manchurian document specifically marked that this number "is not in the file." ”

After fighting with the Ming army for more than 20 years, Jianzhou also suffered heavy casualties. Some of the sparse assistants are now only in their early 100s, because they still have heavy conscription and production tasks in peacetime, and it is difficult for these assistants to dispatch 30 armor soldiers. But there are also some people who have a lot of cattle and will carry idle flags to participate in battles. One in and one out, the strength is still about 18,000.

Jianzhou is a tribe with few individuals, that is, in the Nurhachi era, and the number of Han Chinese in its army may be far greater than the average person thinks. In a military reform after the capture of Shenyang, the proportion of the Han army was as high as 50 out of every 100 "walking hundred armor" (Manchu, yabure tanggu uksin). In addition, in fact, the Eight Banners have been very fond of firearms from the very beginning. In the era of the old slaves, the highest proportion of firearms in the Eight Banners was 2 Franc cannons per Jiala, and 22 shotguns and three-eyed guns were equipped for each walking hundred, which was the Bayara, and 2 out of 10 people were also equipped with firearms. The 50-man guards were simply all firearms. It's just that firearms are too expensive to use, and saltpeter and sulfur are too much to be used in Jianzhou. As the Han soldiers lost their effectiveness, the old slave went crazy and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Han people in Liaodong, including the Han army.

By the time of Huang Taiji, after many plunders, Jianzhou had crossed several steps in the economy and was once again equipped with firearms on a large scale, which corresponded to the re-establishment of the Han army, and the status of the Han people gradually increased. When Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming surrendered, they brought skilled Hongyi artillery gunners, and now Jianzhou's level in terms of hot weapons is not lower than that of the Ming army.

Abatai's entry into the customs this time will lead an army composed of a mixture of hot and cold weapons, with 18,000 Jianzhou armor soldiers, and about the same number of coats and followers. Among them, on average, each Zuo led 5 Bayala to form a guard battalion of about 3,000 people. Each Zuo led 1 Bayala outpost to form a 500-strong Gebush Xianchaoha Forward Battalion.

In addition to the Eight Banners, there are also three kings and one duke who walk with the Eight Banners, 15 Zuo Leaders of 3,100 Soldiers under Gongshun King Kong Youde, 11 Auxiliary Leaders of 2,100 Soldiers under Huaishun King Geng Zhongming, 2,300 Soldiers under 12 Auxiliary Leaders of Zhishun King Shang Kexi, and 900 Soldiers under Shen Zhixiang, Duke of Xushun. The soldiers of the three kings and one duke are the elite of the rest of the battle, and the ratio of soldiers and civilians is almost 100%. This time, half of the feudal domains were also released, and a total of 4,000 people were commanded by Kong Youde.

In western Liaoning, there are also Khalkha Mongols, Chahar Mongols, Korqin, Weng Niute, Boiling Han, Naiman, and Karaqin tribes, and each Mongolian tribe also sent half of its own armor soldiers.

It would be the largest invasion since the founding of the state, with a total force of 80,000 troops, mostly cavalry.

The Great Army needs to sacrifice the flag. In the triumphant song of the Jianzhou Army in recent years, the Zhishun Wang's domain actually defeated the army and mourned the ship in Dadonggou, and also buried hundreds of blue-flaged princes, which happened to be used to open the knife.

Huang Taiji led the kings and ministers out of Qingning Palace and came to the square in front of the Ten Kings Pavilion.

More than 100 Lianghuang Banner Baya Lama each carried a naked ** Nikan, each of whom was full of whip marks, and he had already collapsed to the ground.

"Kill." More than a hundred human heads rolled off, and the blood flowed out and was quickly frozen into red ice.

"King Zhishun." Huang Taiji's eyes became more and more gloomy.

Shang Kexi knelt down and walked out on his knees, "Minions, minions are in ......"

"For your sake, Ban Zhifu, a minion, will not be killed, deprived of all official positions, demoted to a slave, and you will take it back and discipline it well."

Shang Kexi was sweating profusely, and the nails in the long horseshoe sleeves were desperately clasped to the floor, leaving a trace of blood. He shook his head to the ground, "The slave thanks the master for his grace." ”

Ban Zhifu knelt on the floor tiles of the square, bursting into tears, his heart like ashes.

Seeing this, Dorgon glanced at Dordor and turned up the corners of his mouth slightly.

On the outskirts of Shenyang, inlaid with blue flags in Zhuangtun.

Balinga led the three Han girls with a rope towards the market town, with Ulledon by his side.

Seeing Ulden's dejected appearance, Balinga cheered him up and said, "Don't mind brothers, let's run out of that ghost place in Dadonggou, it's a great blessing." ”

The catastrophe did not die, but Ulledon had no joy on his face, "Master, the two of us offended Shang Kexi to death." ”

Balinga frowned, "Are you still a gentleman?" I'm afraid of what those Nikans are doing. The master told me that the emperor cut down the sacrificial flags of the deserters of the Shang Domain. ”

Ulden gritted his teeth, "It's all to blame for those Shang Domain's soldiers who escaped from the battle and killed hundreds of brothers on our banner." ”

"No, this Nikan, I just can't believe it." Balinga pouted.

After these two blue-flaged soldiers fled back, according to the military discipline of Jianzhou, all of them had to be beheaded and their families would be harmed. In order to save their lives, they put all the blame on Shang Fan's soldiers. In a way, this is also true.

Balinga patted Ulden on the shoulder, "I've already agreed with Lord Niulu that I'll take you with me this time." ”

Ulledon cried with a sad face, "Lord, thank you for your kindness, but you know, my family received an armor and lost it in Dadonggou." ”

Balinga pulled a rope and pointed at the Han girl, saying, "I will sell these three Han girls in the market town in a while, and I will change a knife for you." What are you afraid of without armor, just enter the customs and grab it. ”

Ulden said gratefully: "Master, I owe you a lot. ”

Balinga patted his chest, "They are all brothers, and we will see each other again." ”

The two continued to walk towards the market town. Jianzhou has a relatively strict management of human trafficking, prohibiting all flags from crossing flags to buy people, and human markets can only be set up in market towns.

When Balinga arrived at the human market, he found that there were already many people trading here. He first stripped the clothes of the three Han girls and made them stand naked. Jianzhou was short of materials, cotton cloth was very valuable, and Jianzhou developed the custom of pulling out the clothes of prisoners from the beginning. Balinga had to take these three clothes home.
