Chapter 512: The Great Qi Empire (End and Postscript)
The fall of the Later Jin regime and the recovery of the entire territory of Liaodong completely lifted the butcher's knife that had hung over the head of the Ming Dynasty for decades, and the heavy burden that cost the Ming people millions of taels of silver every year and almost broke the backbone of the empire disappeared. ∑,
The Ming Dynasty of Nirvana's rebirth is like a train full of holes, slowly driving onto the revival track of Nirvana's rebirth.
In the continuous frenzy and joy of the millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital, the high-spirited Chongzhen Emperor immediately summoned Zhu Daolin, who had made great achievements, into the imperial palace, and the major forces of the Chinese and armed forces held together day and night to discuss day and night, and once again brazenly set off an upsurge of struggle for power and profit to divide up Liaodong.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, on the first day of October, the young emperor issued three edicts in a row at the court meeting:
The first edict: mobilize 50,000 soldiers of the forbidden army in the capital, all the Jimen defenders and 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Beizhili to defend the capital to go to the northwest to quell the rebellion;
The second edict appointed Guo Zhongjun, the general of the Yamen Counselor of the Governor of Haiphong in the Ming Dynasty, as the commander-in-chief of Jingxiang, and gave him the title of General Longhu, and instructed him to lead 25,000 men and horses from three divisions of his headquarters to the Jingxiang area to quell the rebellion through the Yangtze River waterway within 50 days;
The third edict: Wu Jicheng, the governor of Liaodong, was crowned as the governor of Liaodong, ordered him to set up a governor's yamen to appoint officials at all levels, expand the army by 100,000, allow the whole territory of Liaodong to try out the new policy of Yingzhou, allow the rich merchants and gentry from all over the Ming Dynasty to go to Liaodong to buy land and pastures, encourage the people in the Guannai to move to Liaodong, and all the reclaimed wasteland is owned by the reclaimers, and all taxes are exempted within five years.
The three edicts caused a shock to the government and the opposition, Zhu Daolin attended the epoch-making court meeting, immediately took his wife and children, and led his soldiers to Qingdao, Emperor Chongzhen rarely brought a hundred civil and military officials to Chaoyang Gate, and took Zhu Daolin's hand for a long time to advise earnestly, looking forward to it, and saying goodbye with tears.
On the morning of the next day, another edict that aroused strong repercussions was promulgated to the world, and Zhu Daolin, who had been promoted to the Duke of Yasukuni for less than a month, was promoted to King Ying, and Yingzhou Island, which was isolated overseas, became the hereditary fief of Zhu Daolin.
After the Ming Dynasty and the opposition were shocked, they gradually saw a deeper meaning from this sensational edict in Kyushu, and the rumors that Zhu Daolin was originally the king of Qi were confirmed by this, but few people could see the upcoming big changes from it.
Chongzhen is the tenth of the seventh year and the fourth day of January.
After conquering more than 20 prefectures and counties such as Luoyang and Zhengzhou, the rebel leaders Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, more than 10 troops with a total of more than 200,000 people successively conquered Luoyang, Zhengzhou, and other prefectures and counties, coerced more than 500,000 people, broke through the encirclement of 150,000 officers and soldiers, turned around and headed south, and the front of the troops was directed at Fengyang and Huaibei.
November, the tenth day of the first month.
The 35,000 elite led by Guo Zhongjun, the new commander-in-chief of Jingxiang, completed the counterinsurgency and suppression in the territory, sending more than 100 transport ships to the 30,000 captured mob and the 50,000 people who were coerced.
In early December, 150,000 rebels and 300,000 mobs rolled away to 30 miles west of Fengyang City, where they were immediately attacked by 50,000 officers and men led by Longping Hou, Zhang Gongwei, and his son.
December, XV.
Zhang Xianzhong, the first to break through to the west, suffered the biggest defeat in his life in Luzhou, and the 80,000 elites and 200,000 mobs under his command were not yet arrayed, and they were personally commanded by Zhu Daolin, the king of Ying, and the 70,000 soldiers of Guo Zhongjun's department, Tang Zhenglin's department and Shi Qingyang's department were hit head-on, and most of the casualties were killed and wounded under the intensive artillery fire in only half a day, and the kneeling surrenderers were densely packed, countless, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was scattered, only led 800 personal guards to escape, and Luo Rucai, who retreated to Luzhou City, and 20,000 rebels abandoned their weapons and surrendered under heavy surroundment.
December, twenty-two.
The rebels were surrounded by 400,000 officers and soldiers, and the remnants led by Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang, Lao Huihui, and Liu Guoneng fled south in a panic, and finally joined up with the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong in Chuzhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
On December 25, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the encirclement and suppression again rushed from the east, west, and north to kill rapidly, and the remnants of the 60,000 rebel army, who had no way to escape, rushed to the riverside before the officers and soldiers of the west route of Zhu Daolin's department of Yingwang Zhu Daolin entered the battlefield, grabbed boats, cut down bamboo and wood, and risked death to cross the river Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, could only lead the Jiangnan Navy Division to retreat to the old nest, and urgently ordered all the land and water armies to gather in Jinling to strictly defend it.
Zhu Dao, the king of Ying, led 50,000 elites to cross the Yangtze River at a rapid rate, and entered Taiping Mansion before tens of thousands of remnants of the rebels gathered, blocking the rebels' westward escape, and Tang Zhenglin, the newly promoted auxiliary general and the chief general of the Longtan Army, led 15,000 soldiers under his command to rush down to Shangyuan Port by boat, and urgently recruited 5,000 guards from Ziyang Palace and 20,000 local veterans to guard the huge industry under the command of King Ying.
Before Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Zizhong and others who had crossed the Yangtze River had time to catch their breath, the 50,000 troops led by Zhu Daolin, the king of Ying, came from the west at high speed, and the 100,000 officers and soldiers who gathered in Jinling were divided into 30,000 to advance from east to west after a short period of confusion.
Li Zicheng and others could only lead the remnants of 50,000 to flee south, and at the cost of more than 5,000 dead and wounded, they were lucky enough to capture Moling Pass, and while escaping in one fell swoop, they seized a large amount of food and weapons and equipment, and quickly organized various departments before the arrival of more than 100,000 pursuing soldiers, lifted their spirits, and fought with hatred and indomitable momentum into the hinterland of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which was empty of troops and rich in the world.
