Chapter 17: The Gift of Borrowing Fields
There is no breakthrough on the front line, and he lives in Qiongshan in order and enjoys happiness with his family.
Zhu Huijing added a daughter to Shou Xu, the little girl has a sense of distance from her father, everyone else can hug her, Shou Xian can't hold it, and she will cry when she hugs her.
Zhu Huijing and Song Huixiang are born in different worlds, but what makes Shou Xuan happy is that there is no big mess at home.
Su Shouqin, the eunuch who escorted Zhu Huijing to Hainan, and Gan Weijian, Song Huixiang's musical instrument teacher, both served at home. Zhu Huijing only has one acquaintance in Hainan, Su Shouqin, and she must be retained for her order.
Hui Xianggong poetry, good piano music, and the order of the war together, human feelings.
The Taipei Mixed Brigade and the Nanyang Cavalry Headquarters send her gifts every year, and Hui Xiang will also give them back one by one, which makes her very detached status at home.
Orderly is happy to see this.
There are very few servants in the family, Su Shouqin, Gan Weijian, 4 disabled veterans and their wives are all of them, and the first attendant Lin Shoujie and another 12 guards live in the manor.
Compared with the Tatars, Southern Ming vassal kings, and warlords at this time, the order-keeping family can be called extremely frugal in terms of manpower occupation. Shou Zhi did not treat his family as slaves, and there were no messy things such as military law and family law.
The family imitated Taipei and built a bamboo garden.
Shou Xiang likes to lie on the collapse of the bamboo garden the most, drinking tea while listening to Huixiang play the kite.
Gan Weijian led Zhou Luqing into the bamboo garden, interrupting the enjoyment of order.
"Ruler, ma'am."
Zhou Luqing nodded to Hui Xiang. There is no etiquette in the order's house, and unless the order's house is in the eldest princess's courtyard, it is very convenient for officials to come in.
Guangdong Governor Zhou Luqing is from Taipei, and he is familiar with Hui Xiang and Gan Weijian, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.
"Dafu, sit down and have tea." Say hello in order.
Zhou Luqing said, "The great system, the great victory in Leizhou, the spring ploughing is imminent, I want to do a gift of borrowing land in Qiongshan." ”
"What is Borita?"
"The auspicious rites handed down in ancient times, the Son of Heaven or the princes personally ploughed to show the intention of the court to persuade farmers."
Shou Xuan was a little surprised, "You should go to the Zeng Pavilion Department for this matter." ”
"The cabinet readily agreed, and he told me to be sure to invite you here."
"Do you have a full instrument?"
"No, during the war, I plan to drag a few guns instead."
Shou Xuan smiled, "Okay, I'll definitely go if you get it." ”
"Yes, the Great Ruler, it is not suitable to wear Yi clothes at the ceremony."
"Oh, you will, I can do it."
"Yes."
Zhou Luqing looked for Shou Ling to talk about this matter, and left after speaking.
Shou ordered to turn the teacup, playing with the meaning of Zhou Luqing's suggestion.
The major affairs of the country are in the worship and the sacrifice, and the sacrifice is the orthodoxy of the regime. This time, Zhou Luqing, the governor of Guangdong, suggested taking advantage of the great victory in Leizhou to carry out a formal gift of borrowing fields, in addition to declaring that the government attaches importance to the cultivation of tuntian, it is also uniting people's hearts. Of course, the order will cooperate.
A week later, Zhou Luqing sent someone to send a set of cyan clothes to Shou Xu, with a distant travel crown.
The cut is concise, and I think it's good after changing it in order.
Zhu Huijing sent the orderly in a gorgeous costume to the carriage, her eyes flickering.
The southern suburb of Qiongshan in the first county.
The supervising pacesetters and the pacesetters stood solemnly.
Zeng Ying, the superintendent of the pavilion, worshiped Shennong in ether, offered cattle, sheep, and pigs, and performed the gift of borrowing fields.
The civil and military officials of Qiongzhou Prefecture and representatives of the gentry participated in the sacrifice together. Shou Xiang looked over, and the civil and military officials all put on sacrificial clothes.
Hainan originally only provided officials with regular clothes, that is, black gauze hats and patches, and Liang Guan's court clothes were purchased by the officials themselves, and the sacrificial clothes were made this time.
The Ming Dynasty sacrificial clothes were originally imitated by the Song Dynasty, with a square heart curved collar in Tsing Yi, and changed to the style of court clothes after Jiajing, and the color was still green.
The civil official is equipped with a beam crown and a scarf for the Jinxian crown. There is no duke on Hainan Island, Zeng Ying is headed by a first-grade official with seven beams of Jinxian crown, and the remaining six beams below the second grade are reduced to one beam in turn.
The military general is equipped with a beam crown and a sable scarf for the martial crown, with a vertical pen on all sides, and a crane tail on the left side of the crown. Different from the Han Dynasty military crown, the Han crown has a crane tail on both sides.
The Ming army in Haikou dragged four 4-pounder guns and saluted them with the sound of cannons.
Borrowing 1 acre and 3 points of land, the ox plough for ploughing the field has been erected, Zeng Ying walked to the plow handle but did not move.
The officials and gentry waited for the cabinet to plow, Zeng Ying suddenly smiled, he turned around, and took the hand of the order.
"Here you go."
"Huh?" The order was unexpected.
"The military and civilians are watching, don't hesitate."
Zhou Luqing stood solemnly on the side, without any expression on his face.
The plough ox pulls the plough cart, and the orderly hand rests on the plow handle, pushing five times and returning five times.
followed by Zeng Ying and Zhou Luqing, seven pushes and seven returns.
After the field ceremony, spring ploughing begins.
The army that did not have a duty task, and the Ming army, including the sailors, all went to the fields to help plow the fields and plant seedlings.
In May, all sailors set off to Chaohui.
There have been reports from Liangguang to Qiongshan.
Guangdong.
Shang Kexi withdrew Li Yangzhi, the general soldier of De'an, who reinforced the Guangxi line, and appointed him as Shunde Town, filling the last gap in Guangdong's western defense line.
Beijing hung the seal of General Jingnan with the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Zhumala, led 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Han and Mongolian Eight Banners, and transferred a total of 4,200 troops from the green battalions of Fubiao, Kaigui Town, and Huaiqing Town in Henan Province to aid Guangzhou. The 900 troops under Shen Yongzhong, the Duke of Xushun, were originally scheduled to be transferred to Fujian, and they were reassigned to Guangdong halfway.
Shang Kexi also asked Beijing for reinforcements.
Fulin did not send the Eight Banners again, and only transferred Shen Fan to Guangdong. More than 3,000 people from Shen Fan and the Green Battalion under the domain were stationed in Zhaoqing, and Guangdong Province squeezed into the three feudatories, which was about to explode.
With Shen Fan's reinforcements, Li Qifeng of Liangguang was able to draw out Zhaoqing Town, which was Hou Jue, to reinforce the garrison of Luoding Xiehe Xinxing City, and stabilized the precarious situation in the mountainous area.
Most of the elite soldiers of the eight banners who can fight are driven to Guizhou, and the troops are slightly nervous.
The old man is over 50 years old, and he has already written a book to beg for bones, and Shunzhi has the experience of winning a big victory in Guangdong, and sent the old man out.
There was a war in the southwest, and the Tatar army was used close to the Dolgon era in the early days of the founding of the country, so Fulin gave Shang Kexi these reinforcements, and allocated an additional 1.3 million taels of military expenses, so that Guangdong could expand its army on its own to supplement the losses.
I don't know what Beijing's perception of the Pingnan Domain and the Jingnan Domain is, but starting with Li Dingguo's Guizhou, Guangdong's request for the Eight Banners of the Ban Brigade and the increase in military salaries from the household department should give Beijing a headache.
The new forces that were less than 10,000 were not enough to counterattack, and the war equipment, artillery, ammunition, grain and grass hoarded in Guangdong were exhausted in Leizhou, and it took a long time for the Tatars to make up for these losses.
If Beijing is only reinforcing at this level, then Shang Kexi will only be busy stabilizing the front in two or three years, throwing people and goods into various castles and fortresses.
The Tatars and the Ming army engaged in skirmishes at the junction of the theater of operations. The Ming army was not too afraid of this kind of battle, and the north of the Ming army's control area was the vast Yunfu Mountains, and the south was covered with a dense network of rivers, and the two armies were consumed like this.
The news from Guangxi is even more important.
Xie Yuanbian, the governor of Qinlian, was stationed in Bobai County.
There are Li Yuanyin and Li Laiheng in Lianzhou, Qinzhou, Luchuan County, the former Yulin Prefecture, has been placed under the jurisdiction of Zhang Xiaoqi of the Gaolei Theater, and Xie Yuanbian's defense areas in the Beiliu and Nanliu Erjiang basins of the Qinlian Theater include Yulin, Bobai, Xingye, Cenxi, Beiliu, Rongxian, and Tengxian counties.
Xie Yuanbian took advantage of the great victory in the Gaolei Theater to bring the Erjiang Defense Region under his direct jurisdiction.
This defense area was originally relocated, and it took more than 4 years for the country to recover Guangxi, and Xie Yuanbian recruited displaced people to reclaim it, and production was restored to a certain extent.
In the battle of Dingguo and Xinhui, except for Zhang Shijie's department, the other Ming troops also participated in it with full participation, and the losses were very heavy, and now they are licking their wounds.
Xie Yuanbian used the weapons of the Green Battalion captured in Leizhou to reorganize the Ming army.
Zhang Shijie is the 4th town of the training army, and Xiong Zhaozuo and Zhou Jintang are the 5th town of the training army.
Zhang Shijie and Zhou Jintang stationed in Teng, Rong, and Cen Xi to defend the Beiliu River; Xiong Zhaozuo was stationed in Xingye to defend the northwest direction of the theater of operations.
The number of soldiers in these two towns is insufficient, each with less than 2,000 soldiers, Zhang Shijie and Zhou Jintang have a total of 3,000 soldiers, and Xiong Zhaozuo has less than 1,000 soldiers.
In addition, the troops were drawn from each garrison, and 1,000 pacesetters were raised after the combination, and the remaining guards and Tuntian soldiers were managed by two soldiers.
In addition, Yuan Lijun of Zuojiang Province occupied Taiping, Shangsi, Zuozhou, and Xinning. Most of the remnants of the Yudian battalion originally placed in the Zuojiang area defected to Li Dingguo, and the Yunnan army went home, with more than 1,000 people under Yuan Lijun's young militia and other remnants of the Ming army.
Most of the Tusi in Guangxi turned to the Tatars as a whole, and Zuojiang Dao could be maintained for the time being due to Yuan Lijun's efforts, but the Tusi there had already entered the wait-and-see period, Xie Yuanbian asked Yuan Lijun to transfer the household registration and army to Sizhou as much as possible, and move closer to Qinzhou, just in case.
In addition to reporting to Qiongshan, Xie Yuanbian mainly reported on the Yunnan-Guizhou battlefield.
Because of the long distance, Hainan did not find out the situation until half a year after the Tatar troops were dispatched.
Sun Kewang surrendered to the Tatars, exposing all the reality in the southwest, and the Sun-Li civil war destroyed the mutual trust between the Ming army.
Fulin decided to take the opportunity to send a large army to pacify Yunnan in one fell swoop, and solve the problem of the orthodox Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to put an end to future troubles.
The 1st Infantry of Fulin was divided into three routes.
The first road was based on the clan stationed in Jingzhou, Manchuria with blue flags, Gushan Ezhen Luotuo as the general of Jingkou in Ningnan.
The commander of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army stationed in Changsha Gushan Ezhen Botong 60, Mongolia Gushan Ezhen Tejin, Manchuria Zhenghong Banner Gushan Ezhen Ji Xiha attacked Guiyang through Hunan.
Hong Chengqi took the left governor Li Benshen and the right commander Daniel Zhang 16,000 soldiers as the vanguard to conquer Chenzhou, opening the way for the main force of Luotuo's Eight Banners Army to attack Guizhou.
In addition, 11,000 troops led by Yuan Kuoyu, the governor of Biyuan, led by Li Ruchun, Wang Ping, Nan Yikui, Chen De and other troops to attack Wugang and Jingzhou, and detoured to the southeast flank of Guiyang through Liping.
The second road is based on Manchuria with yellow flags and solid mountains, and Jiangning general Zhao Butai is the general of Zhengnan. Transferred Jiangnan to garrison the Eight Banners, Shanxi Datong Town, Green Camp into Hunan. Hong Chengchou gave Zhao Butaijia 3,000 green battalions of Zhang Guozhu's general army, a total of 5,000 troops through Liuzhou, Guangxi, along the Liujiang River and Duliujiang to Dushan and Duyun to attack and advance, and detour to the southern flank of Guiyang.
This road basically overlapped with the route of the Japanese army's attack on Guizhou in the later period of the Yuxianggui Campaign.
The third road took Wu Sangui as the general of Pingxi, strengthened the Morgen guard, and the blue flag Han army Gushan Ezhen Li Guohan went out of Hanzhong, passed through Baoning, Ke Chongqing, attacked Zunyi, and detoured to the north flank of Guiyang
After the deployment of the three-way army, Fulin mobilized the main force of the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade.
In the second step of Fulin, the second son of Duoduo and the owner of the white flag, Dorosin County Wang Doni was the general of Anyuan Jingkou, and commanded all the armies in the southwest, and Luo Tuo, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, and Zhao Butai were all dispatched by the king.
Luo Keduo, the king of the county and the owner of the red flag, was the deputy marshal.
The ministers of the parliamentary king, Dorobelle Shangshan and Duran, Manchuria Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Yild, Manchuria Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Arzin, Manchuria with Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Basihan, Manchuria with White Flag Gushan Ezhen Zhuoluo with the expedition.
The imperial guards, the king of Belle and the prince of Bei and other guards were also in the range of troops.
The two banner lords were the generals of the southern expedition, and the two council kings were assisted, and the specifications of the expedition were high for the first time in more than ten years, and the scale of mobilization far exceeded the last Nikan southern expedition.
The third step of Fulin is to stabilize other battlefields and ensure the safety of the southern expeditionary army.
Transferred the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Ming Andali to Jingzhou, commanded the Hubei Green Battalion, and strengthened the Nanru Town of the Henan Green Battalion, and pressed the Shun and Ming armies east of Chongqing and west of Jingzhou, located in Kuimen.
Garrison Hangzhou with white flags, Han Army, Gushan, Ezhen, Zhao Guozuo, and some Manchu and Mongolian officers and soldiers.
Transferred Mongolia to the Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen Tulai stationed in Quanzhou to oppress Jinxia Zheng Chenggong.
The Mongolian Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Daola was stationed in Jinan, and a total of 7,000 troops from the Zhengding Association, Jizhou Association, Malan Association, Taining Association and other departments of the Zhili Green Battalion were dispatched to Shandong.
The 3,000 green battalions of Gubeikou Town and Xuanfu Town were drawn to reinforce Shengjing.
In the entire fifteenth year of Shunzhi, the Beijing household department prepared military spending of more than 30 million taels.
In the early period of the Shunzhi Dynasty, the national military expenditure was 13 million, and then increased year by year.
In the thirteenth year of Shunzhi, the military expenditure exceeded 24 million.
In the fifteenth year of Shunzhi, it broke 30 million.
Although the Tatars' military expenditures include such ancillary measures as extortion, apportionment, traitors, and robbery, which are difficult to count, the military expenditures of the household still reflect Beijing's most important mobilization capacity.
The Tatars levied three salaries heavily, pursued tax arrears throughout the country, and did not let go of the Yellow River in Beizhili.
Hainan estimates that its military spending can be up to 40 million to 45 million, of which 37 million is the permanent and southwestern military spending, and then subtracted.
The Zhoushan Ming army has been a bit big recently, and the Tatars have less income and more investment in Zhejiang, minus 1 million.
The same is true for Shandong, minus 800,000.
Guangdong increased the local military expenditure by 1.3 million, and the reinforcement army in Zhumala needed 1.2 million, minus 2.5 million.
If you squeeze the people's fat and ointment, with the upper limit of 45 million, Fulin still has more than 4 million mobile military expenses in his hands, coupled with the apportionment and robbery of traitors, with the average annual consumption of 150 taels per soldier in the theater, Fulin can mobilize up to 30,000 troops to drive to various battlefields.
Financial resources are limited, and the strength of troops is probably not a problem, the main force of the Eight Banners, Shaanxi, Gansu, Jin, Hebei, Liao, Lu, Henan, and the green camp towns in the rear all appear on various battlefields, but as long as there is money, Fulin can still draw troops from the remaining departments.
In addition, Fulin also has the outer vassal Zasak Mongolia, and the coating in Beijing is available.
At its limit, Fulin will be able to mobilize more troops. But then it is necessary to learn from the Ming Dynasty, let the local government open the gold, and the local armies will adopt themselves and increase large-scale robbery.
It is obvious that the extreme approach will fundamentally shake the Tatar rule.
Sun Kewang's surrender exposed the strength of the southwest, and the Eight Banners also exposed their strength in front of Hainan.
