Chapter 520: The first step in post-war combing: breaking the collusion between land and power
Amin became the second Great Baylor to be deprived of military power after Mang Gurtai.
The four great beylors, who were all together during the lifetime of the slave chieftains, have fallen apart except for Dai Shan's prudence.
Huang Taiji hoped that the Ming army would take the liberty to chase them outside the Great Wall, so that he could make effective use of the terrain of the mountains and jungles and flexibly use the mobility of the Eight Banners cavalry to ambush them.
The firearms of the Ming army were limited by the terrain, and they would also be greatly reduced.
Then, he still has a chance to turn defeat into victory. At that time, with the power of a big victory, it will be able to fight again.
In a sense, Sarhu is the first defeat and then the victory.
It's just that defeat is a small defeat, and victory is a big victory. And now, if not a fiasco, the loss is definitely not small. The armor slaves were almost exhausted, and the headquarters of the Eight Banners was also greatly damaged.
As for the victory...... Those who are as proud as Huang Taiji dare not assert it today, but this obsession in their hearts has never been able to let go.
Huang Taiji strictly ordered the children of the Eight Banners to endure hunger and cold and wait for several days, and did not wait for the chasing soldiers of each soldier.
Instead, he received a report of Dolgon's defeat in Liaoxi.
The battle in Liaoxi was a typical first victory and then defeat.
Victory is a big victory - Dolgon almost wiped out Wu Sangui in Xiping Fort, but unexpectedly killed a Yang Guozhu. The two said that they were fighting and retreating, but in fact, they were chased by Dorgon until they returned to Dalinghe Fort.
Even Yuan Chonghuan, who was sitting in Dalinghe Fort and referring to the Battle of Xipingbao, was ambushed by Dolgon's soldiers on the way back to Jinzhou in a hurry, and almost died.
But since then, Dolgon has not made much progress.
Because he is not good at attacking cities, and he has no weapons for attacking cities, artillery.
Jinzhou and Dalinghe Fort are both equipped with cannons.
Dolgon didn't have many weapons, after all, most of them were taken by Huang Taiji to the pass. There are not many left for him, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. If it weren't for Dorgon's constant grip on his army, he wouldn't have been able to sustain this battle.
Dolgon severed the connection between Dalinghe Fort and Jinzhou, gaining an inch, and wanted to occupy one of the cities.
Zuo Fu thwarted his raids and attacks several times, and all of his conspiracies and plots were useless in front of this veteran.
Dolgon was in a hurry later, so Yang Guozhu seized the opportunity to defeat the cavalry with cavalry, and launched a fierce attack on his own formation. Seeing that the opportunity could not be missed, Zuo Fu also sent out a small number of mobile troops.
Wu Sangui, who was no longer willing to lead his army out of the fort to fight against Dolgon, finally rushed out of the fort and entered the battle under the cynicism of several women.
His participation finally caused the proud but unresilient Dolgon to be defeated in the battle of Liaoxi.
When Huang Taiji received the details of the defeat and was resentful that the development of the battle situation between the two brothers was almost identical, he panicked again and hurriedly led his army to the hinterland of Liaodong.
However, this over the mountains and mountains, unless you put wings, it will be another long journey.
When I return to Shenyang, how many loyal and brave Eight Banners disciples will there be?
A man as talented as Huang Taiji could not help but be at a loss in the face of the chain reaction caused by this defeat.
He hoped that he would be able to fight another great war immediately to wash away his shame and prove the greatness of Tiancong Khan.
At the same time, he was afraid that the Ming army was in a hurry, and launched a campaign to seize Liaodong, just like the Battle of Dengliao.
Because he knows very well that after returning to Shenyang, there must be a lot of housekeeping waiting for him.
Huang Taiji, who wanted to get rid of his father's shadow, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and he was annoyed that he didn't listen to the slave chieftain's instructions before he died: "The Ming country is very big, and it is advisable to plan it slowly." ”
"After all, it was Ben Khan who was in a hurry."
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was no longer in love, and hurriedly marched to Shenyang.
More than a month has passed since the battle, and the noise of all the battlefields has gradually settled, and people's livelihood is gradually recovering.
Rewards and punishments are being determined.
Liu Tingguan, the grass-headed king, was reinstated, received the title of a hundred households, walked into the Forbidden City, and kowtowed to the apocalypse.
His visit to the palace heralded the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to reshape the dignity of the generals.
This is also the last time that the Apocalypse will gather the ministers for a grand court meeting.
After the official audience, Liu Ting, who was extremely excited, came to the Xinwang Mansion with apprehension.
In the legendary big study, he saw Chongzhen and didn't doubt his identity at all.
After all, he didn't have the courage to look directly at Chongzhen, just like he didn't dare to look directly at the emperor,
I only heard Chongzhen smile and asked, "Zhang Bingzhong and Li Hongji, have you found them?" ”
Liu Ting was taken aback and hurriedly said: "There is no news about Zhang Bingzhong yet, but Li Hongji is working as a post guard in Yinchuan." ”
Chongzhen nodded and said, "It seems that he is quite peaceful." ”
Seeing Liu Ting's huge body trembling slightly, Chongzhen smiled again and said, "What? Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou almost treated you as an ordinary mountain king and served you a pot? ”
Liu Ting laughed embarrassedly, and took the opportunity to peek at Chongzhen, only to feel that this face was resolute and majestic, worthy of the name of the regent Xinwang, and even more worthy of the fact that he led the army to fight against Jiannu outside the city.
"I heard that there is a person in your camp named Li Dingguo, and there is a person who calls himself Gao Jie?"
Chongzhen suddenly asked an irrelevant question, Liu Ting didn't know why, and nodded yes.
"Are you married?"
Liu Ting shook his head blankly.
"Is there anyone who is good with you?"
Liu Ting shook his head, nodded again, and stopped talking.
Gu Chongzhen smiled and scolded: "Those in the earthen kiln don't count." ”
Liu Ting exhaled a long breath and nodded resolutely.
"Do you have any plans to marry a wife and have children in Beijing?"
Liu Ting raised his head suddenly, then knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general will thank His Highness for his grace!" ”
Chongzhen said: "Remember not to bring your wife and children to the barracks, and don't let your subordinates come to your house." ”
"Your Highness, this ......" Liu Ting is obviously a very righteous man.
Chongzhen scolded angrily: "Stupid, you can put the treat outside, why don't you take it home?" ”
Liu Ting suddenly realized, in fact, ...... Still not understood.
He only knows how to fight, and that's enough.
As long as there is a heavy truth, everything in life will be settled for these people.
As for the soldiers below, they only need to be responsible for thanking Dade and fighting bravely.
There are very few such emperors in the whole history, and the most famous is the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
The power and wealth of the Ming Dynasty have been deeply linked, and it is difficult for Chongzhen to emulate the Han Dynasty and separate them.
But no matter how hard it is, it must be done.
Because Chongzhen knows very well that at this time, the Ming Dynasty seems to have won a lot of time to lick his wounds through this great war, but if the officials and the people are still colluding, time will pass in endless fighting.
The prestige that the imperial court had managed to gain through the battle of its own affairs would also be reinstated by the perverse actions of the government, which would make the people feel cold again, and gradually abandon the imperial court.
And this abandonment will be the most complete.
At that time, countless Zhang Bingzhong and Li Hongji will take advantage of the situation.
In this raging fire one after another, no matter how much Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng were, they could not extinguish.
The imperial court and the local government have always been a very delicate combination.
For this reason, Chongzhen once talked to Apocalypse. Because Chongzhen knows that in addition to himself, only the Apocalypse is the land that he most wants to hold in the hands of the government, return to the imperial court, or return to the existence of the people.
However, all the obsessions and energy of the apocalypse seem to be exhausted as this battle passes.
This very difficult carpenter emperor, in the day and night of hard work without listening to dissuasion, finally came to the time when the oil ran out of lamps, and the Tai Hospital and Chongzhen had repeated consultations, but they could not pull back this decline.
Because, he does not know moderation, and he fights every day.
Empress Zhang knew where her husband's regrets were, so she just cooperated.
She also hopes that she can leave a trace of blood inheritance for her husband.
It's not to take back the imperial power, it's just to create a life and come to this world.
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!" Chongzhen sighed with emotion, but had to take on all the burdens of governing the country.
Chongzhen talked to Yang He about the land, because it originated from the Donglin system.
In addition to accumulating wealth, the people in this system are also good at encroaching on land.
Although Haoqiang is not synonymous with the Ming Dynasty, Haoqiang, who is well hidden, has already appeared.
The Fu King in the royal family and Qian Qianyi in the scholar family are all representatives.
Most of the land was in the hands of the powerful, and there was no tax to pay for what he brewed.
"The thing that will be done once and for all in the test of fame must not happen in the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Lao Tzu. The common people have long been reduced to tenants, and a country with too many tenant farmers will certainly not be able to become rich. "Chongzhen said secretly.
I have never seen a country where even the peasants have enough to eat can become strong, and the tenant farmers do not have much enthusiasm for farming because the land is not their own, and all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes cannot solve the problem of food and clothing at all.
This is a truth that almost everyone who has gone through the afterlife can understand.
But Yang He didn't understand, and expressed surprise at Chongzhen's idea.
The land is all brought together by the big guys.
People who have lost their land, that is also their inability.
When the big guys gathered these lands, they all paid a corresponding price, more or less.
It cannot be ruled out that some people have taken advantage of this process, but Yang He knows from his own experience: "Most farmers sell their land to relieve their urgent needs. ”
He didn't say that.
But Chongzhen understood his eyes, so he smiled and said: "Lord Yang has made solid contributions in this battle, and in terms of meritorious deeds, it is enough to crown the crown prince and young protection." ”
Yes, more than a month has passed since this battle, but the merits and demerits are still being evaluated.
The punishment of corruption and crime is from top to bottom. First of all, find out those big corrupt officials and big tigers to set an example.
Reward incentives, but from the bottom up. Let the low-level soldiers and officials get real rewards first.
Those who die in battle will be the first to receive bereavement, and those who are in their hands will be the first to be healed.
The people who migrated outside the city did not return to their homes as soon as possible.
One is because homes have been destroyed, and the other is because there is no land.
