363 Desire to pull the green on the soft branch (6)
The list of the first evils are all Manchus and Han people who took refuge earlier, and these people do not take the Ming court seriously, and they do not believe that the Ming court can take them "Ming Zheng canonical punishment". Those who were included in the list of traitors couldn't ignore it, because they still had a lot of connections in the south. People often have the idea of "out of sight is pure", even if they disdain you for treachery, but they will not break off relations with righteousness. Once this kind of filth and filth is turned out and exposed, then the psychology of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages will also cut off contacts and be regarded as strangers. This is undoubtedly cutting off their hands and ears and ears.
Zhu Cihong's list of the top evils is based on the high-ranking officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially the military department Shangshu and the infantry army capital, who must be the direct executors of the 13th tragedy of the first lunar month, and from a legal point of view, these people must be the main culprits. As for the list of traitors, Zhu Cihong picked a few at random, among which Feng Quan has the highest official position, and Sun Zhiqi has the most bad reputation, which is not necessarily directly related to the tragedy.
Because of the effect of the use of words, people mistakenly believe that these traitors also played some role in this tragedy, so even the Han officials in Beijing expressed disdain for them.
Surrendering to the alien race can be said to be involuntarily, but the slaughter of the Han people is a bit too much.
In order to avoid being implicated, he was even more afraid that the political enemies and enemies in the south would play with the villain's behavior and classify themselves as "traitors". Some people also brought their wives and children, and some were so ruthless that they didn't even tell their families, and fled south alone.
Soon they found out that they didn't need to be too nervous, and the escape was still easy. As long as they are willing to give five hundred taels of silver, a green skin called the golden boss will help them get out of the capital and send them to Tianjin. From Tianjin to the sea, but more than ten days to the south of the Yangtze River.
The officials began to flee, and those people at the bottom were naturally even more reluctant to stay in such a fishy place. After all the relatives and possessions were lost. Escaping became a matter of course. However, these civilians will definitely not be able to come up with a huge amount of money like five hundred taels of silver, so they can only go out of the city and run south, if they are lucky enough to avoid the Qing army's exploration of horses and ambush soldiers, they can be put into the protection of the Ming army.
And the number of these lucky people is not much, more people will be caught by the Qing army on the road, as a homeless person into the Zhuangzi everywhere, become a serf-like laborer, and live a life worse than death. It's just that if these people can escape the first time, they will escape a second time. Even the serfs in the fields were infected, setting off a new wave of refugees.
For the Manchurians. Bao Yi Aha is private property, and a large amount of property fleeing is like being robbed at home. On the twentieth day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, Dolgon, who had returned to the central government, promulgated the infamous "Arrest of Fugitives Law".
According to this law, a slave who flees once or twice is sent back to his original owner after being whipped, and is hanged for three escapes; The owner of the nest that took in the fugitives was beheaded. The reason for this reversal of severity is not that Dorgon is brainless. Rather, it is because the purpose of this law is to "protect property", and if you escape, you will be killed. Isn't that a huge loss for the slave owner?
However, this is not true for fugitives. It is equivalent to having a "talisman" given by the emperor. If someone was caught on the run, he might have died by the swords of the rebels, but now he can only be whipped as long as he shouts "I am a fugitive", and then go back to recuperate and plan for the next escape.
As soon as this law was introduced, the number of people fleeing increased instead of decreasing. The Ming army also began to consciously accept the fugitives, and even the fishermen who did not go to sea in winter also began to go to sea, as long as they could receive a fugitive and send them back to Shandong, the government would give one or two food stamps.
Far from seeing it as a matter of legislation, the Manchurian elite did not see it as a matter of legislation. Instead, it is believed that local officials deliberately indulged and harbored fugitives. Because it is now impossible for Manchurians to serve as officials at the prefectural and county levels, this statement is only a disguised "suspicion of Han officials". The Han officials in the court are too busy to take care of themselves, where will they stand up for the local officials below? Local officials were already annoyed by the arrest of fugitives, and they even petitioned for the repeal of the law.
Naturally, the Manchurians ignored these Han officials, and in order to emphasize their determination to recover their "property", they instead issued a decree to punish them severely:
"There are those who are hiding and fleeing, behead! Those who are not allowed to raise their heads by their neighbors, the ten heads of the families, and the magistrates who are not aware of them, are all seated together. ”
The ten heads of the family and the head of the hundred families are similar to the elders of Lijia Village, and they are all Han people. As soon as this law was promulgated, the Manchu county officials were afraid of fleeing like tigers, and the number of fleeing people further expanded, and there was even a grand scene of entire villages fleeing in North China.
At the same time, Zhu Cihong, who returned to Jinan, met with Wu Fu, Li Yuzhi, Li Banghua, Sun Chuanting and others overnight, agreed to spend the whole night, and finally decided to promote the issuance of the "Amnesty Order" in the court.
The "Amnesty Decree" is aimed at thieves and officials. Among them, the scope of amnesty for rebellion ranges from Li Zicheng to below, all of them are pardoned; The scope of amnesty for the thieves is all pardons except for Zhang Xianzhong. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was even more complicated, except for the first evil and the traitor, other officials, big and small, regardless of the Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Korean, etc., could be pardoned.
The reason why Manchurian and Mongolian Korea is also included in it is that the amnesty decree also stipulates four situations, such as uprising, surrender, surrender, and capture. The uprising was a counterattack, and the Ming army was in favor of the battle. According to the Amnesty Decree, the insurgents were not only pardoned for their crimes, but also recounted their merits. Surrender is to lead his subordinates to fight against each other when the two armies are facing each other, and there is no defection. This situation can also be credited, of course, the credit will not be very large.
Those who are forced to surrender are capitulated, and those who resist are captured. Surrender can pardon capital crimes, and if you are captured, you can only be pardoned and commuted.
The manuscript of the amnesty decree was handed over to a civil official from Hanlin for polishing, and he knew it with reason, moved it with emotion, and sprinkled thousands of words. This time, Chongzhen did not object again, he also saw that most of the officials in the court had voted for the crown prince, whether it was from emotional considerations or the actual royal harmony test, he had no reason to object.
It's just that the violation of imperial power is not a happy thing after all, so Chongzhen refused to accept Zhu Cihong's morning and dusk for five consecutive days. However, his little awkwardness did not hinder Zhu Cihong, anyway, Zhu Cihong had already labeled the imperial father as "immature", and he went to get a bowl of closed-door soup every day as usual, fulfilling the obligations of the son of man.
The officialdom controversy set off by the "Amnesty Decree" is not large. Today's officials are accustomed to arguing in the newspapers, not only various local tabloids, but even the "Huangming Bulletin" has a special page for them to debate the gains and losses of governance, so there are not many "garbage posts" sent to Chongzhen. And at the same time, seeing the pros and cons of the debate also made Chongzhen more cautious in his judgment.
Zhu Cihong did not regard the newspaper as a "democratic" killer, for him, the ability to control public opinion and increase work efficiency is the meaning of the existence of the newspaper industry. At most, it is to let the people have a channel to vent, and those who don't like it can not watch it anyway.
To the north, the "Amnesty Decree" set off a huge storm. Almost all the officials who were not in good course collected a newspaper from the south and offered the amnesty in their homes.
In order to make money, some bookstores printed the "Amnesty Decree" separately and sold it to those officials, which is called "Baoxin Pill" in black language.
The reason why I use black language is because Dolgon soon issued a second stupid edict against the "Amnesty Decree": Whoever dares to hide and disseminate newspapers privately shall be beheaded! The gullible are slaves!
What person who has been caught would admit that he is gullible in newspapers?
Therefore, those who were caught were all stolen and beheaded for the crime of private possession and dissemination.
As a result, there was a trend of Han officials absconding again, and the highest day reached more than ten people.
Among them, there is still Chen Mingxia, a servant of the Ministry of Officials, who took two family members to abandon the official and go south, got on a ship in Tianjin and went to sea, went ashore in Laizhou, and went to Jinan.
Zhu Cihong arranged a banquet in Jinan, although the crown prince himself did not attend, but went to a cabinet elder, and many officials who had no relationship with Chen Mingxia were also ordered to support the party, and each of them made many poems, which were collected into a book and printed for free.
The reason why Zhu Cihong took special care of Chen Mingxia was not only because of the high position of the officials in the ministry, but also because Chen Mingxia was a typical example of a Ming Dynasty official who lost his temper.
It can even be said that there will be no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who is more unethical than Chen Mingxia.
Chen Mingxia character hundred history, Jiangnan people's family, is Chongzhen's sixteenth year of Tanhualang, the first Hanlin revision, and the two branches of the household soldier are given to the matter. This starting point is a high-standard clear stream route, as long as you don't make mistakes, the Ming Dynasty is undefeated, and there is no problem in entering the cabinet and auxiliary government at the age of forty.
At the time of the national change, Chen Mingxia lost his temperance, but in fact, he was just like the more than 2,000 officials in Beijing.
After Li Zicheng fled Beijing, Chen Mingxia did not leave anything to clear up, but he ran halfway and heard that Jiangnan was "Shun Case" in Daxing and wanted to severely punish officials who broke through the rules, so he fled back to Beijing.
In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chen Mingxia was reinstated, and he was immediately promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials and the bachelor of Hanlin. Therefore, he has one more experience of surrendering and rebelling than those unscrupulous officials who came to surrender and surrender to the Qing.
After getting such a horse bone, Zhu Cihong naturally wanted to spend it well.
In this era of no photos, videos, and blogs, it's not easy to convince people thousands of miles away.
No one is sure whether Chen Mingxia has really been treated well, and it is impossible for Zhu Cihong to really give Chen Mingxia the treatment of a high-ranking official, otherwise it will violate the principle of human resource management: internal and external fairness. Moreover, if someone breaks the window paper of "buying bones", the effect will be greatly reduced.
So a poetry book is a good prop.
The Ming Dynasty was an era of great poetry, although there were very few fine products, but the number was far superior to that of the Tang and Song dynasties. Officials sent to usher, and making a few poems is a basic routine. If there are many scholars at the meeting, the number of poems will naturally increase.
The host compiled these poems into a poetry collection and published them in the world, not so much to show off the poetry of the people, but to show off the specifications of the party. Therefore, holding a thick book of poems with a clear theme and many authors is enough to prove that Chen Mingxia has received great courtesy. And these officials who participated in the poetry also endorsed the imperial court - no one in the officialdom would go to cheer for a guy who was destined to be unlucky.
This collection of poems, titled "Guinanji", reached Beijing as quickly as possible, setting off a storm again. (To be continued......)
