Chapter 711: Covering Others' Eyes

"Although it is said that the king is defeated and the life and death on the battlefield are no different, but the slaughter of civilians is so miserable, it is indeed a little unreasonable. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Gong Jue also has some confusion.

"When the Qing army entered the customs, it only saw the melee in the Central Plains at first, and just wanted to loot the city, and did not have the intention of winning the Central Plains, you must know that although the Qing Dynasty was strong at that time, but the Central Plains was vast after all, and the Qing army had no chance of winning if it really wanted to fight, not to mention the others, if Wu Sangui did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty and led the Qing army into the customs, it is estimated that the Qing army would not even be able to pass the Shanhaiguan." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"Indeed, even after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, he did not think about long-term peace and stability at the beginning, and Emperor Shunzhi also issued an edict to the kings of later generations, saying that the country can be guarded, and if it can't be kept, he will give up and return to the Guanwai, which shows that the Qing Dynasty itself did not want to sit firmly at that time." Xue Xinrou nodded and said. "Therefore, in the early Qing Dynasty, in addition to the expedition, the most the Eight Banners Army that entered the customs did was to transport a large amount of wealth looted from the Central Plains to Guanwai."

"Since this is the case, isn't it very contradictory, on the one hand, I am worried about the instability of the country, and on the other hand, I wantonly slaughter the city, once such a horrific killing arouses public resentment, it is estimated that the few troops that enter the customs will be encircled and suppressed in a very short time." Ye Jiuqing said.

"That's why I'm strange, the Qing army traveled a long way to enter the customs, and at that time the Central Plains was constantly fighting, the situation was unclear, once these forces united, the Qing army was completely unable to resist, what was the reason why the Qing army could not hesitate to bear the threat of anger and resentment in Yangzhou?" I say.

"Later historians have also studied the reasons for the Ten Days in Yangzhou." Shen Buregret is most familiar with this aspect, she told us. "At the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, a series of measures were taken to ease the contradictions and cancel the excesses and miscellaneous taxes, so that most of the people along the way did not resist.

The most common theory is that Sun Zhiqi, a former Ming minister, suggested to Dolgon that he should re-adopt the policy of shaving his hair because he was ostracized by his colleagues, and Dolgon believed that Beijing had been occupied at this time and that the general situation had been decided, so he adopted this suggestion.

Dolgon ordered the re-issuance of the shaving order, forcing the Han people to shave their hair and make it easier to obey, and its executive slogan was to keep the head without hair, and keep the hair without the head.

"The Manchu Dynasty promulgated the Decree of Change of Uniform, stipulating that the officials and the people had shaved their hair and should be dressed in accordance with the Manchurian system, and at this time the troops were approaching Yangzhou, and the stubborn resistance of the Yangzhou people under the leadership of Shi Kefa to the Qing Dynasty attack annoyed the commander Prince Duoduo." Ye Zhiqiu added next to him. "Many historians believe that the Qing army's massacre of the city in Yangzhou had the intention of deterrence."

"Although the Yi Obey Order is only a dress code and restriction, at the ruling level, this is the Manchu Qing Dynasty's requirement for the unconditional submission of the Han people, using this method to test how strong the Han people's determination to resist is, it just so happens that there is a war in Yangzhou, which can be regarded as a deterrent to all Han people in the Central Plains." Shen Buregret nodded and said.

"What about the rest?" I asked.

"Yangzhou is located in the north-south transportation hub location, has always been the benefit of water transportation, salt transportation, to the rich area, prosperous commerce, so the Qing army began to burn and loot after the city to fill their pockets, it is estimated that in the process of encountering resistance, which led to the slaughter of the city." Shen said without regrets.

"But this statement is not convincing, because at that time it was the Manchu Duoduo who commanded the army, this person was the master of the white flag, a fierce general who could fight well, but he was not just a martial artist, Duoduo issued a strict order when he captured Nanjing, do not kill innocents, do not plunder wealth, and do not burn houses." Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and said. "Duoduo is very strict in governing the army, speaking of wealth, Nanjing is far more prosperous than Yangzhou, Nanjing has not changed, why do you want to loot Yangzhou, not to mention that Duoduo issued a military order, even if the Qing soldiers have burning, killing and looting, but they will not dare to make such a horrific massacre of Yangzhou for ten days."

I walked back and forth a few steps, neither of which was enough to convince me that although the 10-day massacre in Yangzhou was civilian, it may indeed be a deterrent if such an atrocity was spread, but there are two sides to everything.

The Qing army was so brutal, the result was the same whether it surrendered or not, it was better to resist than to sit and wait for death, which would undoubtedly make the Han army and people hate the enemy with one heart, you must know that if the Han people at that time were united, the soldiers and horses who entered the customs of the Qing Dynasty were not afraid at all.

Since Duoduo knew about the promulgation of the Three Don'ts Decree, it can be seen that this person knows it well but must not lose the hearts of the people, how could such a handsome person who is so literate and strategic, do such a meaningless thing in Yangzhou.

"When did the Qing army invade Yangzhou City?" I turned my head and asked Shen if he regretted it.

"May 20 of the second year of Shunzhi of the Qing dynasty."

"When did the massacre begin?"

"May 23rd."

"Three days later......," I said, rubbing my forehead and thinking about it. The so-called one blow, if the Qing army's killing intent was difficult to calm and vented on the civilians of Yangzhou, the massacre should have started on the day of Yangzhou's breakdown, why did it happen three days later? ”

"No regrets, when Yangzhou was surrounded by the Qing army, when was the area of the Bronze Palace where we are now occupied by the Qing army?" Ye Jiuqing seemed to have thought of something.

"Above the bronze palace is the Wenjin Bridge, which is a very important bridge in Yangzhou at that time, and when the Qing army was opposed, the defenders of the Southern Ming Dynasty wanted to cut the Wenjin Bridge, but when the excavation was halfway, the Qing army occupied here, and strengthened the Wenjin Bridge here so that the army could pass."

"The Qing army has been stationed here......" Ye Jiuqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at me and said. Is it possible that when the Qing army was stationed here, they found the Bronze Palace under the Wenjin Bridge. ”

I frowned slightly, at least the time coincided, the Qing army first discovered the Bronze Palace, and then broke through Yangzhou City, and three days later the Qing army began to slaughter the city......

"That's right! This is the real reason for the ten days in Yangzhou! "I finally figured it out.

"What does Yangzhou Ten Days have to do with the Bronze Palace?" Shen Buregret looked puzzled.

After I left, I went to the bronze palace, pointed to the lines on the bronze and said: "These are gluttonous patterns, before Yin Shang, this kind of pattern represents God, and then look here, this is the Kui dragon pattern, which evolved from the jade pig dragon of the Hongshan culture, but it is more realistic than the jade pig dragon, not as abstract as the jade pig dragon, but very vividly shows the appearance of the feather dragon, even if the defenders of the Southern Ming Dynasty found here, at most they thought it was an unknown ruin, but the Qing army saw this, and the result was completely different. ”

"Are you saying that the Qing army knows these ornaments?" Shen Buregret was taken aback.

"It's not just understanding, the dragon pattern of the Great Qing Dynasty evolved from the Feather Dragon, the reason why the Great Qing Dynasty was able to enter the customs was guided by the gods, Duoduo is the prince, it is impossible not to know the secret of the Great Qing Dynasty, I am sure he must have been here." I said to the nail on the head.

"It's Uncle Bai's ancestor, the one who arrived in Liaodong by dragon after Wang Gongchang was ambushed!" Tian Ji also reacted. "This person assisted in the rapid rise of the Qing Dynasty and was worshiped as a god by the royal family, the royal family must have seen the feather dragon and knew that it was a sign of the gods, and now they must be shocked to see the same sign in the Bronze Palace."

"In the Bronze Palace, there is another thing besides Jiuding." I took a few steps back and pointed my finger at the ground, the only place that wasn't inlaid by the Wall of Thorns.

"Coffin!" Ye Jiuqing recognized it at a glance.

"Yes, the ancestors of the Zhu family once rested here, I believe that when the Qing army found here, the ancestors of the Zhu family were still alive like Ling Xuan." I nodded and looked at the others and asked. "When Duoduo saw the man of God in the Bronze Palace, what would you do if you were him?"

"Worship, of course." Tian Ji said.

"It's scared!" Ye Jiuqing said it. "The Qing Dynasty rose strongly because of the guidance of the gods, and now the Qing soldiers have disturbed the palace of the gods, this secret may not be known to other Qing troops, so at the beginning of the robbery of the heavy thorn wall in the bronze palace, presumably later alarmed Duoduo, he is the prince must know about the Qing Dynasty and the gods, and Duoduo only knew the seriousness of the situation when he came here."

"Dad, are you saying that Duoduo was worried about God's punishment?"

"This is on the one hand, but more importantly, the gods can guide the Qing Dynasty, and they can also guide anyone, Duoduo can't let this secret leak out, so he will transport Jiuding and the gods back to the customs together."

"The existence of gods and men is related to the fortunes and lifeblood of the Qing Dynasty, this secret must not be known to outsiders, the Qing army can find the Bronze Palace under the Wenjin Bridge, which means that the Southern Ming defenders in Yangzhou City may also see it, but the hasty retreat did not take away the things in the Bronze Palace, after returning to Yangzhou City, the news about the Bronze Palace is believed to have spread." I said with a deep breath.

"That's why you will slaughter the city......" Ye Zhiqiu suddenly realized. It's to keep the secret in the Bronze Palace! ”

"Although we are late, at least the clues have not been broken, and Jiuding should be outside the gate now." Ye Jiuqing said.

"But in the literature and history of Yangzhou, there is no mention that the Qing army has made such a major discovery in Yangzhou, and even if you know that Jiuding was transported to the outside of the customs, you don't know the exact whereabouts of Jiuding now." Shen said without regrets.

"Sister, how can there be a record of this in the literary history, Duoduo doesn't know if the people in Yangzhou City have seen the Bronze Palace, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, they will not hesitate to slaughter the city, such an important secret, I am afraid that only the Qing Imperial Family knows it." Tian Ji said.

"The clue is still broken, you all said that this secret is very important to the Qing Dynasty, even if the royal family knows, it is impossible to tell you." Shen said without regrets.

"The Qing royal family will definitely not, and I estimate that these royal families may not know as much as us, and we who really know these secrets happen to know." I patted the dirt on my body, I originally planned to go to Liaodong after finding Jiuding, but now it looks like Jiuding should also be in Liaodong. "It's time to go to Guanwai, maybe Jiuding and that ship can be found together this time."
