680 [Siege of Salhu]
The rise in the salaries of civil and military officials was not a decision made by Zhao Han with a pat on his head, but the result of his careful consideration.
From the first rank of officials to the seventh rank of officials, the monthly income rose as a whole, and the rest of the officials remained unchanged.
One product: 320 stones.
From a product: 310 stones.
Seven pins: 45 stones.
From the seventh grade: 35 stones.
Compared with the Ming court, the salaries of top officials have more than tripled. But the middle-level officials have turned a lot, and the Ming Dynasty is seven products
7.5 stones, Datong Zheng Qipin Yue Cheng 45 stones, which is six times the salary of the previous dynasty.
The outbreak of a major case in Shaanxi is just the introduction of this rally.
The fundamental reason is that the income of the common people has increased, and the officials cannot always maintain the status quo, so they have to be more decent. In addition, the increase in government tax revenues has not only increased the amount of money, but also increased grain revenues, which can fully maintain the higher salaries of officials.
This kind of adjustment is very normal, when Zhu Yuanzhang just marched into the north, he couldn't take out money and grain to pay officials' salaries, so he directly threw wasteland to officials, and let the officials recruit people to grow grain to pay their wages. After the financial sufficiency, the land property was recovered one after another, and the imperial court issued the money normally.
Many of the policies of the new dynasty of Datong will need to be adjusted in the future.
For example, the military logistics of the provinces are all controlled by civilian officials, and after a hundred years, the military attaches will inevitably be overwhelmed. The reason for this is that the founding generals were so powerful that they had to use civilian officials to limit their power.
Zhao Han planned to continue this restriction for more than 20 years, and when all the founding ministers were transferred back to the center, he would gradually release more power to the local military attachΓ©s.
Just when Zhao Han announced the increase in official salaries, the war on the Liaodong side also began.
Hetuara City, outside the Guandi Temple.
People City.
There were shouts from the streets: "Young and strong men, good teeth, more work and less food..."
A Manchurian aristocrat, surrounded by domestic slaves, pointed to the slave in front of him and asked, "What price?" β
"Twenty taels." The traffickers said.
The Manchurian nobleman shook his head: "It's too expensive." β
The trafficker smiled and asked, "How much is this old man willing to bid?" β
"One price, ten taels." Manchurian aristocracy.
"At least eighteen taels, it's not easy to catch slaves now." Traffickers emphasized.
The two sides bargained, and the transaction was made in thirteen taels.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, the Manchurian nobles who had been to Beijing, after returning to Hetuala, felt more and more that life was hard.
In the past two years, not only have there been many deserters, but also a large number of domestic slaves and serfs have fled. As long as they arrive at the Great Wall of Liao, these house slaves will be safe, the Datong army will let them go, and the government will even give them land.
When the Manchu magnates retreated, they took with them a large amount of gold and silver.
Now he has money in his hand, but he can't buy enough food, and he can't even look at the slaves.
As a result, the slave trade flourished, and the Eight Banners Army stationed in the northeast did not pay attention to defending the city at all. Under the instructions of the generals, they were led by the officers of the Eight Banners to the Heilongjiang River valley to capture the natives, and then transported them back to Hetuara for sale.
Human trafficking, whether it is in history or in this time and space, the nobles of the Eight Banners have done it.
Historically, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty first entered the customs, many nobles of the Eight Banners entered the city like dirt buns. They drove the Han people out of the inner city of Beijing, and then found that the house they had looted was so large that the few slaves they had had had simply not enough.
Some Manchu magnates took the ruffians and hooligans to be dogs. Let these dogs lure, abduct, and rob the Han people, and engage in the slave trade on the streets of Shunchengmen (Xuanwumen). That street was dedicated to selling livestock, and there were mule and horse markets, cattle markets, and sheep markets, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty gave a whole person market.
Because the Eight Banners nobles had a great demand for slaves, the Manchu court directly allowed human trafficking in the form of law.
At that time, the situation was completely chaotic, and the situation became more and more serious, and it developed to the point that Manchu women and children were abducted and imprisoned, and human traffickers took the lead in practicing ethnic equality in the slave trade.
It was not until after Dorgon's death that the Manchu court banned human trafficking.
But it couldn't help at all, and in the third year of the ban, a human trafficking gang was cracked. The main culprit, Jin Chengyuan, alone sold more than 100 slaves in the year he was arrested, including even abducted Manchu civilians.
The noble son walked around the human market, bought back a total of six slaves, and then walked all the way home.
He missed his time in Beijing very much, and although his father did not deal with Dorgon, he still allowed his family to stake land in the suburbs of Beijing. At that time,
He lives in a big mansion in Beijing, with more than 70 servants in the house, and there are maids waiting for him even to go to the toilet.
"Amma, the slave has been bought." The aristocratic son said.
Erke Daiqing sighed: "It's getting more and more unpleasant, the number of fugitive slaves is increasing day by day, and even the slaves in the capital (Hetuala) can escape." β
The aristocratic son said: "If you run away, you can buy it again, and our family will not lack that bit of silver." β
"Is this a matter of silver?" Erke Daiqing really wanted to kick Rui over, his sixth son was really a waste, and he learned badly in the two years in the capital. A cockfighting lackey at night, and he can still use it when he buys a slave, and don't think about leading troops to fight or something.
Erke Daiqing, from Borzigit, can also be translated as εer only jin.
At first glance, you can tell that he is from Mongolia, and his father's name is Ngodel, and he is a Baylor of a small tribe of Khalkha Mongolia. Defeat in the Mongolian infighting,
He could only lead his subordinates to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was arranged to cultivate and live in Liaoyang as a whole, and belonged to the Zhenghuang Banner. The land given to them, of course, was taken from the Han Chinese.
During Dolgon's reign, he asked Erke to wear a green flag and change it to a white flag, but this person was not co-opted by Dolgon and devoted himself to Da Yu'er.
Now, Feihuang Tengda, into the first class of the public, plus Shaobao, and the prince Taibao.
These are not nothing, Erke Daiqing's actual position is similar to the later Jiumen Admiral of the Qing Dynasty, he is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the entire city of Hetuala. So it's funny, the servants of the Admiral of Jiumen's family actually escaped from the city several times, which is the reason why Erke Daiqing was angry.
Riding a horse, Erke Daiqing took his men and went out to inspect the city defense in person.
The streets of the city were very deserted, and due to the promulgation of the "Decree on the Kindness of the Reformed People" on the Liaoning side, a large number of Han people fled from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Even the Han landlords who had done dog legs for the Manchus, as long as they fled to the Great Wall of Liao to register, they could settle down in Liaoning and settle down one by one under the crazy exploitation of the Manchus.
Some of the landlords left their fields and ran away.
Not to mention the inhabitants of the city, the poll tax is too wolfish and will flee at the first opportunity.
Now, even if Hermes-Epitek goes out of the city, several households have to be guaranteed together. One family fled, and several families questioned the guilt. The phenomenon of fleeing people was not stopped, but it gave the officers and soldiers defending the city an excuse to ask for food and cards for the people who entered and exited the city gate.
It was precisely because the population of the "capital" was getting smaller and smaller that the Manchu court encouraged human trafficking, acquiesced in the Eight Banners Army stationed in the rear, and left its duty to arrest the natives, and the tribes on the Heilongjiang side were greatly harmed.
Turning over and dismounting, he climbed the city wall, and Erke Dai Qing looked at it with great eyes.
He knew that the Manchu Dynasty would be doomed sooner or later, but he had no choice but to sink with the broken ship.
"Dada-da-da!"
A fast horse came from the mountain road, and when he came to the city gate, he was stopped and searched, and the man said anxiously: "Don't waste time, Salhu is surrounded!" β
Erke Daiqing soon received the news and went to inquire in person: "How many people have come from the barbarians to besiege the city?" β
The messenger said, "Tens of thousands! "
Erke Dai Qing hurriedly said: "This is going to be a decisive battle, come with me to see the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!" β
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Lu Xiangsheng sat in the camp and listened to the continuous sound of artillery in the west.
At this time, Salhu City was far taller and stronger than in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Because Nurhachi rebuilt it and moved the capital here for more than a year, it was built according to the specifications of the Later Golden Capital.
"Sarhu's bloody battle."
Lu Xiangsheng remembered the war many years ago, although he had not personally experienced it, he had heard it told countless times, because it was the beginning of the collapse of the situation in Liaodong.
"Dada-da-da!"
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a scout galloped over: "Division commander, we encountered some Tartar scouts, we killed two, but we didn't catch them alive,
Enemy reinforcements were also encountered either. β
"Keep exploring." Lu Xiangsheng commanded.
This is a group of fortified fortresses, the main city is the city of Salhu on the mountain of Sarhu, and there is an acropolis on the east and west sides of Sarhu.
And not far to the northeast, at the confluence of the Hunhe River and the Suzi River, there is also a Jiebo City. Before Nurhachi moved the capital to Salhu, he once set the capital of Jiebo City, the area of the city is not as large as Salhu, but the mountain is steeper, and it is sandwiched between the two rivers and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, on the east and west sides of Jiebo City, there is also an acropolis.
In addition, there is a Gule city, which was once the royal city of the Jianzhou Jurchens.
These three cities, in a three-legged trend, are all built on the danger of mountains and rivers.
If you want to destroy the Manchus, you must uproot all these cities before you can attack Hetuala. Even if the Eight Banners Army has degraded in combat effectiveness, as long as it is dedicated to defending it, it will take more than half a year to slowly attack the city.
At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng led the army to jam the East Acropolis of Salhu. His task was not to attack the city, but to keep an eye on the Tartar reinforcements, who could be killed at any time in the cities of Jiebo and Gule.
As for Hu Dinggui, he led his army to get stuck between the main city of Sarhu and the West Acropolis, cutting off the connection between the two Tartars.
Xiao Zongxian was leading his troops to storm the West Acropolis, and the artillery of several divisions was all allocated to him.
A hundred guns, bombarding the small acropolis, the Tartar defenders were already dumbfounded. Even the Tartar artillery had to be forced by officers with knives,
before daring to use the city defense artillery to return fire.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Bang!"
The artillery of the Datong army, although well protected by rammed earth bunkers, was still destroyed by the city defense artillery.
The two acropolis of Salhu are definitely almost gone.
This kind of small castle was built at the beginning of Nurhachi's army, how can it withstand the continuous bombardment of hundreds of cannons. The city walls can be destroyed in a few days, and the next thing is to besiege the main city of Sarhu, and besiege the city to send reinforcements, waiting for the Tartars of Jiebo City and Gule City to come and send them to death.
Enemy reinforcements required military orders from the Manchu court.
When Da Yuer learned that Salhu was surrounded, her first reaction was to run away and want to run to Heilongjiang with the little emperor of Shunzhi.
