Chapter 166 Rebuilding the Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan!
Fushui Villa, is the private business of Qian Qianyi of Wenzong in the southeast, is located in the water of Yushan under the water rock, it is surrounded by four waters, the corridor is winding, the eaves and arches, the pavilions are scattered, like a hibiscus floating in the vast smoke and water. Let the Huang Taiji, who is accustomed to the ruggedness of the north, be amazed when he sees it.
“…… This is the villa of Qian Muzhai? Tsk, it's much more generous than my palace in Shengjing! This old man is really rich! ”
Sitting in the coupling cultivation hall of Fushui Villa, admiring the exquisite carved beams and paintings in this room, the various antique treasures displayed on the Bogu shelves around him, as well as the pipa flute and long qin hanging on the wall, and the Huang Taiji wrapped in bandages on his shoulders, he couldn't help but say, "...... I heard that when this old man was in Beijing, he cried with that Chongzhen child for three days and two days, and asked for tax reduction and exemption for the Jiangnan gentry. Unexpectedly, it is actually such a rich country! ”
“…… Your Majesty, the current Jiangnan Shilin is probably so brazen. Fan Wencheng, who was beside him, replied, "...... They pretend to be clear, but they all have millions of good land, and they think they are the proud sons of the sky, and ask the court to give them tax exemption and exemption from labor, and they also want to see the officials and not worship, and talk about the innocence of the government. In short, he wants everything, but he refuses to do anything for the court, and from time to time he rebels and makes trouble, forcing the court to spend money to appease. Such a righteous gentleman, what is the use of me coming? My official of the Qing Dynasty did not fall from the sky! ”
“…… Yes, I really can't afford to raise such a righteous gentleman, and I don't dare to raise it, and it's useless to raise it. Since Jiangnan Shilin is so arrogant and arrogant that he can't be used by me, then I have no choice but to kill them and use their wealth to support those who are willing to be used by me. ”
Huang Taiji stroked the shoulder wounded by the shooting, sighed and said, "...... By the way, where is Qian Muzhai at the moment? ”
“…… Tell Your Majesty that Qian Qianyi's old thief gathered a crowd to rebel, and he has been killed by my Qing soldiers in Tiger Hill! The corpses were chopped into meat sauce. ”
“…… Well, it's good to be dead, so that I can live in his Water Villa at ease! But don't forget to kill his Nine Clans......"
“…… Be! If you obey the order, you will do it......"

In general, in the days after winning the Battle of Nanjing, Huang Taiji's mood has always been very happy, and the Jiangnan strategy is like a bamboo, and the harvest is very rich; Under the reward of a large number of wealthy women, the military spirit of the Qing army from all walks of life is also more and more stable.
Although in the street battle in Suzhou, Huang Taiji was unlucky to be shot an arrow on the shoulder, but now it is the middle of winter, everyone is wearing a lot, Huang Taiji was originally wearing heavy armor, and there are cotton jackets and silk shirts underneath, so the arrow that hit his shoulder was less than half an inch into the flesh, and it was not even as serious as the injury he suffered when he hunted wild boars in Liaodong in his early years, and now he has only healed for a day or two.
Previously, during the continuation of the Battle of Nanjing, Huang Taiji's situation was once shaky and difficult both internally and externally, with the two white flags and the three Dolgon brothers with ill intentions, and the 90,000 troops of Emperor Chongzhen who killed red-eyed and fought endlessly. At the most dangerous time, Huang Taiji brought his wife, concubines and children to the battlefield, not just for show, but really made up his mind to "become a benevolent if he doesn't succeed"!
Fortunately, he won the battle of Nanjing after all, and once again beat his old opponent Chongzhen Xiaoer to pieces. Next, the Donglin Party who invited the Qing soldiers to cross the river to help the war was played ruthlessly, asking for their money and their lives, although the sequelae of this policy are extremely great, and they are hated by the gentry of the world more than the burning of books and Confucianism, but the current Huang Taiji really can't care about so much. After all, this policy of killing people, seizing families and dividing land has really achieved remarkable results. Since he ordered to stake land, slaughter the gentry and landlords in Jiangnan, degrade the people of Jiangnan as slaves, take their wealth, mansions and land, and distribute them to all the generals of the Qing army, not only the soldiers of the two yellow, two red and two blue flags in the Eight Banners were all thunderous with joy and morale. Even the Ming army, which had surrendered one after another, was lured by huge interests, and very enthusiastically and actively accepted the Qing court's shaving head reorganization, and was immediately inserted into the eight banners of each of the Niu Lu, and soon restored the six banners in the south of the Yangtze River to the establishment of nearly two hundred Niu Lu.
(Strictly speaking, the Eight Banners are not equal to the Jurchens, the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Army Banner are not mentioned for the time being, even in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, there are many Liaodong Han people who have changed their nationality and joined.) For example, the descendants of Yuan Chonghuan were already hardcore bannermen by the end of the Qing Dynasty, and they also became Heilongjiang generals. )
In order to balance the forces of the flags at the same time, and try to achieve clear rewards and punishments, Huang Taiji allowed Jierharang's inlaid blue flag to expand to thirty-three Niu Lu, while the two yellow flags directly under him only had twenty-five Niu Lu per flag, but the positive blue flag of Huang Taiji's eldest son Hao Ge increased to forty-two Niu Lu, of which the flag owner Hao Ge was in charge of twenty-eight Niu Lu, so as to ensure the relative advantage of Huang Taiji's lineage.
The general Abatai took the lead in the bloody battle of Nanjing, was seriously wounded, and deserved to be rewarded, so the number of Niu Lu under his jurisdiction increased to nine, and even his two sons were each given a Niu Lu, and both were promoted to Beizi. The two red flags, which were originally under the orders of the Great Belle Daishan, suffered heavy losses in the previous series of upheavals, and this time it was just right to fully rebuild and restore the original full system. There was also a Han army flag that was almost destroyed for a time, but it was also restored by Huang Taiji, and the most loyal hardcore traitor, Fushun General Li Yongfang, temporarily served as the banner owner.
Although it will take a long time for the newcomers to join the various flags to run in before they can better wield their combat effectiveness, at least the morale of the army is completely stable. After such a toss, not only the two yellow, two red, two blue and six flags that crossed the river to participate in the war, but also the slaves and beauties of the luxurious mansions in the fertile fields of the south of the Yangtze River became desperate for Huang Taiji. Even the two white flags stranded in Jiangbei with ill intentions, after learning of such good things, were quickly shaken in order to disintegrate Dorgon's subordinates, Huang Taiji was very generous to others, and constantly issued a decree to Jiangbei, declaring that he would rebuild the Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and all the banner people could go south to stake their land, and all the banners and Baylors were all under the command of the one to raise the reward: anyway, they were all the fields and mansions of the Jiangnan gentry, and Huang Taiji took out the reward to reward people without feeling distressed at all, but the rewarded people had to find a way to kill the old master.
The affluent land of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River is really attractive to northerners like lottery jackpots. Even the two white flags of the three Dolgon brothers could not resist the temptation of a windfall from heaven, and they all asked to cross the river to the south at the behest of Emperor Chongde. Then, before Dolgon could make up his mind, Turg, who was inlaid with a white flag, took his three cattle and crossed the river to Jiangnan to grab the territory. The white flag general Sukh Saha saw that someone was taking the lead, and immediately pulled out ten Niu Lu and drove to Jiangnan. As a result, fifteen cattle that were nominally under the direct jurisdiction of Dolgon were lost in an instant.
Next, before Nurhachi died, the white flag of the white flag entrusted to take care of his young son Duoduo, also forgot his promise to Nurhachi, left Duoduo alone, and went south with a small half of the white flag. In the end, even Azig, one of the three Dolgon brothers, hesitated to bring his thirteen Niu Lu to Yangzhou, worried that this was Huang Taiji's trap, and was reluctant to bait the fertile soil in the south of the Yangtze River, so he was in a dilemma for a while.
So, just as Huang Taiji lived in the lake and mountains of the water villa, enjoying the gentle taste of the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, Dolgon, who was in Xuzhou, was like sitting on the stove and being roasted! Originally, there were six hundred and fifty-five white flags in the Lunan area of Xuzhou, but in the face of Huang Taiji's trick, he was thrown to the bottom of the kettle, and he was scattered in an instant. There are more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his hands, and only two or three thousand are left.
Although Dolgon could also assign Grange women to the Eight Banners soldiers in Shandong and Xuzhou to compete with Huang Taiji for the hearts and minds of the emperor, he did so. However, the fields in the north have always been much more barren than the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that the Central Plains is now thousands of miles of red land, and there are farmers everywhere who are abandoning their fields to flee for famine, and even if they plant crops, they may not be harvested...... Therefore, the soldiers of the two white flags are still running south.
And the wealth accumulated by the people in the south of the Yangtze River is the best in the world, even the imperial capital Beijing cannot be compared, let alone places like Shandong and Xuzhou.
In terms of throwing money to buy loyal capital, Dolgon at this time could not fight with Huang Taiji to get rich, and besides, he still occupied the righteous name of the orthodox emperor!
