Sometimes, when a delicate official eunuch lady rejected a fair-skinned and beautiful scholar of Jinshi, just because he was ranked low in the palace examination and could not be selected to become a nobleman in the Hanlin Academy. However, when she was raped by the black, ugly, short and obscene gangsters who came soon, she could only succumb to it for the rest of her life.

This tragic story is enough to express the current psychology of the people of Beijing.

When they were excited about the upcoming change of dynasty in the streets and alleys, and inscribed on the palace gate that "there is no place to stay here", they believed out of thin air that as long as King Chuang came, the successive military disasters would stop. As long as Zhu Ming leaves, no one will have to be upset all day long about fighting and dying, and anyone can take a big breath of the evil spirit of rising food prices...... As a result, King Chuang arrived as scheduled, and indeed did not disturb the lives of the small people, but he came and went in a hurry, and when he left, he tore off the veil of tenderness, like Zhu Bajie who exposed his true face.

Along with him came the strange haircut of the Eastern Soldier.

Back then, everyone spent money to buy Yuan Chonghuan's meat to eat, and hated him to the core, wasn't it because Yuan Chonghuan was not effective in resisting gold? Isn't it because Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Iron Cavalry pursued after the Jiannu army and didn't attack? Isn't it because Dongyu killed and plundered the people of Gyeonggi to wear filial piety, and every household was clothed with linen?

It's only been fifteen years, and many of the victims are still alive today, but no one thought of avenging this blood vengeance, as long as the Dongju can keep their hair and heads, they can be good citizens with peace of mind.

Is it because of forgetfulness?

No, it's just because of the four words that Hong Chengchou broke through: the people are at ease.

No matter who becomes the emperor, as long as the people can live in peace.

Therefore, whether it is King Chuang or Dongyu, since they have occupied Beijing, let's have a good time. It's not necessarily worse than "re-enlisting" the emperor, right?

The truth is: it's even worse.

Dorgon issued an enclosure order.

Zhu Cihong's butterfly wings finally blew a whirlwind that was enough to affect the direction of history in June of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

Here's how it works:

The first ring: because of the timely plague prevention policy. Before leaving Beijing, the "wealth of the people" and the deliberate rendering of the Zhengyi scholars gave rise to a kind of Taiwei Xingjun belief in Beijing, which enshrined the Dharma body before the crown prince descended to earth - a middle-aged deity that gathered the characteristics of King Yue and Emperor Guan. This soon aroused the concern of the Manchurian aristocracy, who became more and more inclined to impose a "shaving order" to control the minds of the common people from the outside in.

Ring 2: With such pressure. The people of Gyeonggi fled south with their families and mouths. Whether it is to go to Shandong to find refuge first, or go directly to Nanzhili, it is much better than staying in Gyeonggi to shave your hair.

Population for the Manchurians was the means of production, the property of two legs. No matter which flag the owner is, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch the property in his pocket escape. As a result, the law on the arrest of fugitives was also put on the agenda, and the reason why it was not implemented immediately was because there was still one missing link in the middle - the determination of names and points.

Only when the correspondence between the property and the owner is established can the identity of the "fugitive" be determined, and the recovered fugitive can be returned to its owner.

So there is the third ring:

The Manchu government was by no means willing to use a lot of manpower and material resources to organize the people like Zhu Cihong. Their method is simpler and more efficient: staking the ground.

In the edict, Dolgon said that because of the years of war, there was a lot of unowned wasteland in Gyeonggi, so the Eight Banners were allowed to occupy it.

However, as soon as this enclosure order came out, the people below didn't care whether there was a master or not. Most of them can't even understand Chinese, so where can they have the patience to read Chinese characters? All flags are going to the good land, as long as they play the boundary card before the other subordinates, it is considered the land of the flag.

At the beginning, some flags were quite polite. but to drive away the people of the land. Later, everyone grabbed the red eye, and simply took it with others. The land is its property. People have also become slaves under it. Since the Warring States period, China began to liberate serfs into yeoman farmers to increase productivity. Now, under the iron heel of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the people have turned back into serfs.

……

"Brother Wenquan! Meddlesome! Great thing! Huang Desu stepped down and walked quickly into Zhang Ying's house.

Zhang Ying put down the book in his hand, raised his head numbly, and said, "What good things can be done in this world now?" ”

"The East Palace wants to recruit 200 civil officials who have committed minor crimes, and go to the four prefectures of Qing, Ji, Yan, and Dong to serve as county officials! Those who have completed the examination can be pardoned for their previous sins. Still promoted! Huang Desu rubbed his hands happily and said: "I have inquired, the so-called minor offenders, as long as they are not in the hard labor class, they will be successful!" ”

Zhang Ying stood up, his feet were quite vague, and his eye bubbles were swollen. But he said: "Brother Cong, how come you only know one and not the other?" ”

Huang Desu was a little surprised, and said, "Is there anything else I haven't heard of?" ”

Zhang Ying shook his head and said: "Of the six prefectures in Shandong Province, except for Deng and Lai, which of the other four prefectures is not located on the north-south transportation artery?" Especially Dongchang Mansion, it is the key point of the key points, and it is a prosperous place of smoke and willows, and the East Palace does not go to the lineage, but recruits criminal officials, isn't this obvious? It's a plan to kill people with a knife! ”

"Not really......" Huang Desu frowned slightly.

"I just ask, how to resist the arrival of the Eastern Capture Army? Descend yes? Let's go? Zhang Yingjian raised his eyebrows, and his face was full of sadness: "Donggong doesn't want to bear the notoriety of cruel scholars, so he came up with this poisonous plan!" ”

Huang Desu's excitement was extinguished in an instant, and said, "I always feel that it is not like this...... But what Brother Wenquan said also makes sense, let's take a look at it again. ”

"Brother An," Zhang Ying said in a low voice, "I also heard that the East Palace is under house arrest for the imperial father, and he has a reckless ......heart."

"Shh Huang Desu hurriedly suppressed his voice: "Be cautious, be cautious!" ”

……

"You can't come up with any policy." Zhu Cihong convened a meeting of local officials above the prefect level in his official office to arrange the current civil affairs tasks. He said: "Dolgon only knows how to cure headaches and feet to heal, and once this enclosure is opened, it will inevitably be even more anxious." ”

The enclosure order seems to meet the needs of the majority of Manchu nobles to share the fruits of victory, and the original historical script was indeed promulgated in December of the first year of Shunzhi, and it has been said that "the next is not an example", and it has not been stopped until the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi. At that time, there was almost no land in the vicinity of, and all the people became serfs of the Eight Banners.

However, the current situation is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty issued a land enclosure order half a year early, and the external environment is very different.

The first is that Li Zicheng's Shun army has not yet been defeated, and is still peeking at Beizhili in Shanxi.

Secondly, the Jierharang and Shunzhi Emperors who stayed behind in the rear have not yet moved to Beijing, and when they arrive, the good land must have been circled, and they are bound to profit the most from the two brothers of Dolgon and Duoduo, the two flags of Zhengbai and Bai, how not to make people blush?

After having land, the nobles of the Eight Banners naturally refused to send troops to fight easily. They were afraid that as soon as they left, the land they had circled would be robbed by other flags.

And those nobles who have not been encircled or have little enclosure are even more reluctant to send troops easily—why do I have to do what I don't get much benefit from, but I want to do what kills? Fighting is a death, and the people under it are the private property of the nobles, even if they grab the population and land, they must calculate whether the sale is profitable or not. What if the land I have laid down is encircled by others? Isn't it a loss of both people and money?

Before the name was determined, the Manchurians were bound to fight a big lawsuit in front of Dolgon. This is the loveliest thing about the Eight Banners system, which still has the characteristics of tribes and tribal alliances, and is not a completely centralized organization. If Huang Taiji had lived another twenty years, the situation might have been very different, but now that Dolgon himself is the leader of the banner, of course he will not do anything stupid to weaken himself.

"As long as Dolgon is unsure of the proceeds of the enclosure and the distribution of the spoils in the future, the Manchurian army will not make a big move." Zhu Cihong said: "And at least before the summer harvest, the front line of Datong Xuanfu cannot afford the supply of grain and grass for the army to cross the border." ”

When the army passes by, the private treasury may still be able to hide some of the grain, but the grain in the public treasury will certainly not be left. The reason why Li Zicheng withdrew from Jingcheng to Shanxi was precisely because he knew that he had entered Beijing all the way from Sanguan and had left no food along the way. And Ren Jirong and Li You don't have many people, so they should be able to give him some of it.

"From the above two items, it can be inferred that the Manchu army will not make any major moves until the internal integration and the completion of the summer harvest, and we must take advantage of this time to quickly transport the population, food, and materials from the western part of Shandong to the east, enrich the defensive line, and slowly advance to the west."
