Tianjin, its name is derived from the battle of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the mouth of the Sancha River is the ferry port when the Yongle Emperor goes south, and when the Jingnan is over, then this military place is established as a guard, and the meaning of the ferry of the Son of Heaven crossing the river is taken.

In the Ming Dynasty, Tianjin set up three health units: Tianjin Wei, Tianjin Left Wei and Tianjin Right Wei. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, that is, the year when Chen Wen surrounded Quzhou and killed Chen Jin, the Qing court united the three guards into one. To the Yongzheng Dynasty, first the Wei was transformed into a state, changing the nature of the administrative unit, and then the state was promoted to a government, and the administrative level was upgraded. Later, it became an important treaty port, and was once the leading port city in northern China.

In fact, the city is on a canal and has long been inhabited. However, the salinization of land greatly restricts the process of urbanization. Even Tianjin Wei had a sentence in later generations, saying that it was the police outside the south gate - the matter of Balitai, which was too wide, but it was also a practical phenomenon at that time, because out of the south gate of the Acropolis, Haiguang Temple still had fields, but further south was a large wasteland with wild grass, and even swampland, and it was indeed not appropriate to set up a special police office.

The remnants of the Wuwei Right Army surrendered to the Northern Expeditionary Army under the leadership of the chief of staff Li Zhifang, these people were all from the Han Army Banner and the Eight Banners of Goryeo, and it was no longer Cangzhou, and Chen Wen did not pull it all out and cut them all. However, most of the rest of these people's lives will be spent in coolie camps - the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in ruins, and the country is in ruins, recovery is crucial, light tax reduction is inevitable, and those military installations that need to be restored will need these coolies to atone for their sins with labor.

However, compared to those Qing soldiers who were captured in Cangzhou, they were undoubtedly lucky. Chen Wen said before the war that there should be no prisoners on the battlefield in Cangzhou, and after the first battle, more than 60,000 people were beheaded. As for the shortage of coolies, there were some in the homes of those stubborn Qing court officials.

After taking over the city, Chen Wen blasted out the families of the Eight Banners in the city, the officials, craftsmen and their families of the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. This city does not belong to these people, they are the homes of the military households and civilian households of Tianjin Wei, just like the full cities that Chen Wen has seen here, they were forcibly taken away by the Eight Banners, and now it is time for things to return to their original owners.

Chen Wen does not need to worry about administrative affairs, and he has his own military officials to deal with them. Walking into the Acropolis, both sides of the road outside the city were full of people who were driven out of the city by the Eight Banners Army of Tianjin Wei. The worship of heroes, the admiration of imperial power, the gratitude to the rescuer, and the curiosity of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, who is said to be a local prisoner of Tianjin, many of them are constantly focusing on Chen Wen's body, wanting to see if they will have an impression of this face.

"Your Highness doesn't seem to be too familiar with this city, is it because you've been away for too long, so you can't remember clearly?"

The Young Guards Division was guarding on the side of the road, and Chen Wen's slightly fresh eyes after entering the Acropolis attracted Ding Junjie's attention. However, this kind of reverie is just fleeting, guarding is the first duty, and in addition to this matter, he is also thinking about more things about attacking the capital.

After entering the city gate, Chen Wen did not continue to advance into the city. The layout of this acropolis is completely different from that of later generations, and many landmark buildings have been rebuilt in later generations, with more or less different shapes and locations.

Chen Wen did not go into the city to see the original drum tower with his own eyes, nor did he go out of the west gate to visit the bell pavilion, but climbed the east gate of the besieged city, looking at the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau outside the north gate.

"The General Administration of Machinery Manufacturing will be demolished, the Yiyi Street will be restored to its original state, and the original shops will be relocated again."

Earlier it was known as Ma Tau East Street, and Ma Tau East Street originated from Ma Tau To, which is a commercial street developed from the city gate to the ferry port.

The reason why it is called Yiyi Street is because this street was mostly used by clothing stores and silk shops in the beginning, and even later it was used as a lot. However, with the development of commerce, many other shops have also risen here, such as Zhonghe tobacco shop has begun to operate as early as the Chongzhen period, because it is set up by Shanxi people, Tianjin locals also call it Lao Xi'er tobacco shop, and this tobacco shop is later renamed Wujiazi old tobacco shop in the Republic of China, in order to remember the glory of the opening of three hundred years.

When the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau selected the site, it demolished the commercial area outside the north gate. It is not so much a better use of water resources as a better exploitation of the people of Tianjinwei. However, at the same time of exploitation, this modern organization, which could have been raised by relying on the division of law and military industry, has not been able to get rid of the old system, and is just a replica of the Yamen workshop of the Ministry of Industry in the right place.

After instructing the staff, the staff would write down the decree, and then wait until the war was over, and then the magistrate stationed in Tianjin would carry it out. After looking at the pickles outside the north gate, Chen Wen turned to the area on the other side of the northeast corner of the acropolis. In later generations, it was the outbreak of the Tianjin Church Case, Wanghailou Cathedral, but now there are still more than 200 years before the Second Opium War, and there is no church built by the French.

However, this time, Chen Wen didn't say anything, just silently muttered in his heart: "The Huaxia Dynasty is different from the foreign colonial dynasty, and there will be no more Tianjin lesson plans." Of course, there will be no more churches of the Victory of Our Lady. ”

………………

Chen Wen was in the Tianjin Acropolis for two days, and the army had already gone north, especially the cavalry units of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which were the first to approach the city of Beijing, rode everywhere, and had the posture of enveloping all the eight banners in the city.

In the first battle of Cangzhou, except for the remnants of the more than 3,000 Wuwei Right Army, all the infantry of the new army were lost on the battlefield, and they all became corpses without exception. Those who were able to escape were all cavalry, and under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, they were lucky enough to escape back to the capital first, and the number of people had already been greatly dehydrated.

The Qing army entered the city on the front foot, and the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army on the back foot rushed to the city. In this way, it is wishful thinking to flee with your family. And more importantly, Shanhaiguan was owned by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the cavalry of the Mongols in Monan also let the city go away and returned directly to Monan, and the retreat of the Qing court to the north was also blocked as expected. The only thing left is to go west, which is what the Qing court and Liu Cheng thought of together. It's just that when the building collapses, the organizational strength and cohesion are also rapidly collapsing, and it is even more difficult to do things again.

On the day Shunzhi fled back to the capital, a mutiny broke out in which the Mongol Eight Banners gathered people and absconded with their families, and the mutiny could not be suppressed, the main reason for this was the further weakening of the core population of Manchuria in this battle - in contrast, compared with the seven or eight thousand cavalry of the Mongol Eight Banners who were quickly separated in the flight, the Manchurian Eight Banners who were able to escape back to the capital were less than 5,000 people. Jiwei is still there, the former doesn't dare to do anything to the latter, but the latter can't control it when he flees out of the city.

In the first few days, because the main force had not yet arrived, a large number of Mongolian Eight Banners fled north with their families, nothing more than to return to their original tribes. During this period, the families of the Eight Banners of the Han Army were also trying to get out of the city, and the same was true of many Manchu Eight Banners, and even many of the Manchu Eight Banners stationed at the city gate would flee out of the city in groups after nightfall, making it clear that they did not want to die here with the Aixin Jueluo family.

There is a saying in later generations, saying that the hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead. Shunzhi is not a figure like his grandfather and father, but he has inherited the legacy of his predecessors. At this point, he was also helpless, especially for those who escaped from the city and were inevitably chased and killed by the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was even more helpless.

In the palace, men and women cried one after another. Outside the palace, the organization of the Eight Banners has disintegrated, and the bannermen at all levels are trying their best to find a way out.

"Brother Yang, just listen to your words, let's do it."

In the Drum Tower in Beijing, more than 30 clothed servants under the banner of the Eight Banners took advantage of the chaos of their masters, and under the gathering of a young man of 25 or 6 years old and a few of his friends, they plotted great things here.

Most of the Eight Banners are from the Liaodong Han people who were plundered by the Eight Banners Army and the Dingkou captured by previous breaches. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the main force of the Eight Banners moved into Beijing, and so did its Baoyi.

As a slave of the Eight Banners, Baoyi's living environment has always been in dire straits. Especially in Liaodong, the mortality rate of Baoyi was so high that the Qing court needed to constantly break through and go to Guannei to capture the Han people to make up for and enrich the number of Baoyi, in order to maintain the growing army.

After entering the customs, the Manchu Qing Dynasty pursued evil laws such as enclosure, surrender, and fugitive slaves, and with the people of Zhili and the new slaves, the original life of Baoyi was slightly improved.

When the rebellion of the three feudatories was over, the main force of the Eight Banners Army went south, and Chahar took the opportunity to raise troops, and it was also the bachelor Tuhai who was killed by Chen Wen in Lishui with tens of thousands of clothes in the capital to fight and defeat the Chahar people, which ensured the stability of the rear. Of course, this history was later chiseled into the body of Tuhai's staff Zhou Peigong because of a TV series. In fact, if you think about it carefully, with the Manchu Qing Dynasty's defense of the Han people, especially during the rebellion of the three feudatories, the flaws will naturally become clear.

"Brothers, we have been oppressed by those Tartars for many years, and now is the time for revenge. However, there were a lot of Mongols in the city who ran away, but there were also many Tartars who fled back, and they were all battle-hardened and should not be underestimated. In my opinion, it is better to wait until the army of His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Prison Kingdom arrives near the capital, and when those Tartars go up the wall to defend, they will stab them fiercely to vent the hatred in their hearts. ”

Yang Qilong waved his hand, quite a leader's posture. However, he was the only one who could calmly see the situation clearly, and the others were either carried away by the victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army, or they could no longer suppress their hatred when they saw the imminent fall of the Manchu Dynasty, and they even planned to grab a hand before the Northern Expeditionary Army entered the city, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with his rhetoric.

"Lao Tzu heard the dog cub from the Hesheri family's Suo Etu mention that there were only a few thousand Tartars who fled back from Cangzhou, and some of them were wounded. How many coats are there in the city, two or three hundred thousand people, and now the Mongolian Tartars have all run away, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Goryeo sticks have all been wiped out, just a little Tartar, isn't it meat on the chopping board? ”

"That's it, that's it, we can't compare to the tiger Ben under the command of His Royal Highness King Qi of the Prison Kingdom, but if we fight one of the dozens, can't we win?"

“……”

The chirping sounded, these people were all some prestige among the banner-coated minions on weekdays. Yang Qilong summoned them in order to start the liquidation of the Eight Banners. But now it seems that these people are far more optimistic than he expected.

Seeing this, Yang Qilong had no choice but to persuade him bitterly, but with little effect. Fortunately, the second floor of the drum tower was destroyed by fire in the eleventh year of Shunzhi, and it has not been rebuilt so far. But they didn't attract the attention of others, and just as they were arguing to no avail, the distant direction first caught their attention.

"Look, there's a fire over there, is someone already doing it first?"

Yang Qilong and the others looked into the distance, and quickly determined the direction of the Zhenghongqi jurisdiction. At this moment, once they thought that someone had already taken the lead, everyone could no longer listen to Yang Qilong's persuasion, and they returned to gather people one after another, taking the opportunity to do a good job.

"A group of fools who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures must fight more than anyone else. If it is better than this, can the Tartars gain power in Liaodong? If it is better than this, His Royal Highness the King of Jian Guo Qi can do it over the Zhejiang Green Camp? ”

Yang Qilong blurted out and scolded, but then the people went to the empty building, and the remaining old brothers were also eager to try, he stomped his feet, and had to turn his head to gather people and launch in advance.

The Eight Banners Baoyi launched a bloody revenge against the serious banner people in the city, killing them, molesting their wives and daughters, and seizing their family property.

That night, the city of Beijing was full of fires, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and by the time the relatives and nobles who held the military power reacted, many bannermen had been killed by Baoyi. However, as they began to mobilize the army, the situation quickly reversed, and these clothed minions were like wolves and tigers in the face of the unorganized Eight Banners, but if they really encountered an organized army, even if it was the Qing army that had just suffered a crushing defeat, it was not enough to see at all. When those Eight Banners Army reminded the clothed minions of the cruelty of the Eight Banners Army again, this scattered uprising completely lost the possibility of continuing to expand the results.

At dawn the next day, when Chen Wen personally arrived in the city, the clothed minions in the city ran and died, and those who failed to escape from the city and were lucky not to die were mostly hiding, trembling and waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Without the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of Goryeo, now there is no clothing, and Shunzhi and others have to take the thousands of Eight Banners Army and all the bannermen to climb the city wall together, preparing to fight to the death with the Northern Expeditionary Army, which will inevitably wipe out their clan.

As far as the telescope can see, most of the women on the head of the city are pan-headed, and the others are mostly old with white braids and children who may not be as tall as the female wall, but they are only the bannermen of the right year, but there are very few.

The walls of Beijing stretched for 24 kilometers, and with the few remaining Manchu populations, the defense was a joke in itself. It can even be said that with less than 10,000 men, and less than 100,000 old and weak women and children, I am afraid that even the city gate cannot be fully guarded, let alone anything else.

After seeing all this, Chen Wen let his subordinates arrange it calmly. The infantry barricaded the gates, so that not a single bannerman could escape; The cavalry, acting as reinforcements, connected the points in a circle; And the protagonists of this curtain call are still in full swing digging artillery positions, adjusting those red cannons and mortar guns, and making all preparations for the final battle.

The subordinates were still busy, and more and more people gathered around Chen Wen's main position. These people, dressed in rags and looking like beggars, all had their braids cut off.

"The villain's ancestor lived in the capital in the last life, and there was a grocery store in the Dengcao Hutong of Huanghuafang. After the Tartars entered the customs, the whole family was driven out of the capital, and they really couldn't let go of their ancestors' inheritance, so they lived outside the city. His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Prison Kingdom waved the Northern Expedition to sweep away the nonsense in the sea, and we can also pay tribute to our ancestors and ancestors. ”

"The villain is a person from Yangzhou, who went to the capital with the owner to sell goods, and the Tartar saw that he was interested in making money, and framed the owner for being fine, and the villain escaped with his life, but he had no money to return to his hometown, so he had to work as a slender man in Zhangjiawan. A few days ago, I heard that Wang Shi's Northern Expedition defeated the new Tartar army, and Tete rushed to see with his own eyes how those Tartars who killed a thousand knives died. ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness the King of Qi in the prison country, the villain's ancestors have farmed in the countryside of Liaoyang for generations......"

With nothing to do, Chen Wen sent a group of prison officers to come over, including men, women, and children. However, once he started a dialogue with them, this accusation after accusation, the heaviness of history once again pressed on his heart, and he was even more eager to immediately blast open this city and completely wipe out the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the most destructive enemy in Chinese history.

The Manchu Qing dynasty was an alien colonial dynasty by its nature. It is in its nature to plunder wealth, and the suppression of the main nation is also the fundamental plan of the country that it will inevitably carry out if it is a small clan and a large country. In the Qing Dynasty, it was all like this.

Because of this, when facing the strong ships and cannons of foreigners, whenever the initial battle was unfavorable, the Qing court would often quickly choose to surrender, even if it was to cede land and pay compensation. Because with the core population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they could not fight against the foreigners who came from the sea and went straight to the Han land for a long time, and they had to reduce their influence on the Han land, leaving more strength to continue to suppress the Juche ethnic group, continue to enslave other ethnic minorities, and continue to maintain their predatory colonial rule. For foreigners, it is nothing more than a fat distribution that cannot be used while absorbing China's anointment, and its beautiful name is said: "Measure China's material resources and form a friendship with the country."

It is also because of this that when the old relations of production were washed away by the wave of industrialization, and if we wanted to continue to maintain our rule, we had to seek change, the result of the Westernization Movement would become that the First Sino-Japanese War was a war between Li Hongzhang and Japan, and the Hundred Days Restoration would be cleanly denied, and the new policy and the preparation for the constitution at the end of the Qing Dynasty would finally give birth to an imperial cabinet that would block out local forces, and after the imperial cabinet came to power, it would inevitably be to further strengthen the centralization of power. This led to the fall of the dynasty.

The slow and limited development of the modernization process is the main reason for China's backwardness, and the suffering of the past century since the Opium War is also due to the truth that backwardness means being beaten.

Modern times are the era of the nation-state, and the control of the destiny of the country by the Juche nation may not necessarily lead to complete modernization, but it is absolutely impossible for a country in which the Juche nation is suppressed and excluded, and the fate of the country is controlled by foreign colonial rulers.

This was true of the Manchu Qing dynasty, as well as of the Kagar dynasty of Iran, which had succeeded in the reform movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, for China, the first thing to do in modernization is the national revolution, and only by reforming the life of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will China have the possibility of moving towards modernization.

During his years, Chen Wen reformed the feudal system, tempered the modern army, promoted industrial development and the popularization of basic science, suppressed the traditional Confucian scholar class, and more importantly, completed the national revolution ahead of schedule. Only in this way can we begin to catch up with the footsteps of the European continent and avoid the fate of being beaten backward when modernization has just begun.

In the midst of the accusations, the siege artillery team, which had long been independent from the divisions of the army, had been prepared. Looking at the old and weak women and children at the head of the city, Chen Wen knew very well that his hands had long been stained with bloodstains that could not be washed away, but these blood came from the Eight Banners that slaughtered the people, from the traitors who betrayed the nation, and from the initiators of the hundred years of suffering since the 268 years of the Qing Dynasty and the Opium War.

Thinking of this, Chen Wen drew his sword in his hand, and his sword reached to the sky, shining in the sun. In the next second, the saber fell, pointing directly at the capital in the distance, and the roar that was completely cut off from the past history erupted like an orange-red flame from the muzzle of a cannon.

"Fire!"

In the finale, there will be a complete testimonial later. In addition, if you have more ideas about the future in the story, I will write a deduction after finishing this testimonial, which is basically like this.
