Chapter 361: The traitors who can't live in fear
The furious Huang Taiji roared and then fell to the chair in a daze, the green tendons on his fists burst out, Fan Wencheng's death and Li Yongfang's death made him feel more and more terrible Jinyiwei. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's just pervasive!"
Huang Taiji said to himself, he thought that Li Yongfang could completely defend Guangning City, and when his own strength was enough, he could command Jinzhou.
When the time comes, he and Li Yongfang's Han Eight Banners can attack on both sides, and they can continue to squeeze the Ming Dynasty to the west of Ningyuan City, and they can also get the opportunity to contact Lin Dan Khan's department, and even get access to the sea.
Huang Taiji, as a smart Tartar, is not really sitting in the well and watching the sky, he also has his own sources, and the news of the Ming court's complete victory over the Zheng pirate group in the Ryukyu naval battle was also learned by him, and after knowing that this imperial court's fleet was in the area of Jinmen, which was not far from the Guanwai, he also felt even more uneasy.
At the same time, Huang Taiji also began to regret agreeing to let Dolgon sign that bullshit agreement, originally thinking that he would return the Liaodong Peninsula, which had been looted by his own Qing Dynasty, to the Ming Dynasty, so that he now has no outlet to the sea, and even now it is compressed to the east of Jinzhou, and if you want to go to sea in this area, you have to cross the Saishan Mountains, which is extremely inconvenient.
But Huang Taiji regretted it now, and now that the city of Guangning was also lost, his Qing Dynasty could only retreat in this land north of the Liao River.
However, Huang Taiji is not willing to sit back and wait for death, what he hates most now is Jinyiwei, this institution that was originally just showing off its power in the Guannei has now repeatedly violated its own scales, and Huang Taiji feels that he needs to take some measures.
"Circulate the edict and closely examine the Han people who belong everywhere:
If you don't want to shave your hair, cut it off!
If you don't want to learn Manchu, you can cut it immediately!
If it is not my will, those who leave the city without permission will be beheaded immediately!
Each Ding Han people are numbered, each Han household is counted in the register, every ten households are a first, every ten A is a guarantee, and is assigned to the specified area for living, if there is a Ding left the prescribed area without authorization, it will be a spy in brocade clothes, and immediately beheaded! The district to which it belongs is also immediately beheaded!
Each banner household is no longer allowed to raise slaves of unknown origin, and its slaves must also be registered, if there is a loss of slaves, all its slaves will be killed, and their masters should also be removed from the title! ”
The rampant activities of the Jinyi Wei caused Huang Taiji to begin to closely monitor the Han people who belonged to the Han people, which was undoubtedly a heavier blow to the Han people who were still in the territory controlled by Jiannu (which can also be called the occupied area), and the common people who had not shaved their hair and still maintained the Han customs and language began to have to shave their hair and change their clothes, and they who had a certain amount of free trade activities now had to be confined to the prescribed space like prisoners to produce survival resources for the Manchu nobles.
However, this strict monitoring measure had no effect on the real traitors, especially some literati who took refuge in Jiannu, who now spontaneously regarded themselves as courtiers of the Qing Dynasty, and before the emperor's shaving order and Xi Manchu order, they had already consciously begun to shave their hair buns, and learned Manchu, and took pride in wearing horse coats.
There are even people like Li Shutai, who have completely regarded Huang Taiji, the emperor, as their master, and even gave him a martyrdom in the Qing Dynasty under the Confucian ideological system.
Although they used the loyalty idea that they should serve the Qing Emperor as the monarch to cover up their selfishness of betraying the nation and the Ming Dynasty because they are now the people of the Qing Dynasty, Li Yongfang's head still made them realize that it is not enough to deceive themselves by themselves, and the Ming Dynasty does not choose to forgive you because of this, these traitors, especially those who are still relatively loyal, can at least feel that their lives have been greatly threatened.
Zhu Shichang was a Ming guerrilla, surrendered Nurhachi in the first year of the Apocalypse and became the chief soldier of Shengjing City, like Li Yongfang, as a veteran traitor who surrendered to Jiannu, he thought that he could be safe and secure for a lifetime under the protection of the Tartars, although there are a lot of masters, but it can also be calculated, at least from time to time to rob the wealth of the Han people, as long as you don't rob the Manchurian and Manchu clothed slaves, even if you die, the above will not blame.
Therefore, Zhu Shichang enjoyed this feeling of being able to pretend to be the power of Jiannu in front of his compatriots, but now the Han people who took refuge in Jiannu, especially their big people, were assassinated by Jinyiwei one after another, so that he no longer had a stable mood to bully the Han people in the area controlled by Jiannu.
However, fortunately, Huang Taiji, like Nurhachi, still trusts him Zhu Shichang and puts Zhu Shichang in charge of the city defense of Shengjing City, but Zhu Shichang always has a premonition that he will be accidentally assassinated by a certain brocade guard lurking in Shenyang City.
Although he is now trying his best to implement Huang Taiji's purge policy, and killed a lot of innocent people, and also extorted and robbed a lot of money by the way, he still did not dare to leave the house, hid at home on the grounds of illness, and handed over other things to his subordinates.
Even at home, Zhu Shichang can be woken up in the middle of the night as soon as there is a wind and grass, and he is so scared that he is in a cold sweat, so after half a month has passed, although he is not sick, he has lost more than ten pounds, and countless gray hairs have been added.
When he went to Hongwen Hall to meet Huang Taiji, even Huang Taiji was very surprised, of course he understood what he was afraid of, so he could only persuade him with good words, and gave him a third-class Ahanihafan title.
However, Zhu Shichang did not have the slightest intention of being happy.
Bao Chengxian, who also surrendered to Jiannu in the second year of the Apocalypse like Zhu Shichang, was even more frightened than Zhu Shichang.
Bao Chengxian, as a scholar of Hongwenguan University, knows the same military aircraft as Fan Wencheng, and knows the current situation outside the customs more clearly than Zhu Shichang, knowing that now the Ming Dynasty has controlled the area of Mo Nan and Ningjin, and the so-called Qing Dynasty has actually fallen into the three-sided encirclement of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the more flexible Bao Chengxian did not have the "consciousness" of being martyred with Jiannu like Li Shutai, nor did he have nothing to do but be frightened like Zhu Shichang, he took the initiative to find Jinyiwei in Shengjing City through various means, and wanted to pass on the news of his return to Daming to Jinyiwei.
And Bao Chengxian's luck was very good, he also participated in this purge of Zha Jinyiwei, but unlike Zhu Shichang, who blindly took advantage of this to rob the people and make a fortune, he took advantage of this to catch a secret contact point of Jinyiwei in Shengjing City, but he used his power to let go of these Jinyiwei, and conveyed the news of his return to the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Youxiao through these Jinyiwei.
Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything immediately after learning about it, because he was also very entangled now, according to his heart, these traitors who betrayed the Ming Dynasty were people he hated so much, and there could be no other ending than a thousand cuts!
But when I thought that after all, since Nurhachi raised the army, there were not many Han people who took refuge in Jiannu, and if he blindly killed, would it make these traitors even more desperate to follow Jiannu and make it more difficult for him to destroy the Manchus.
