Chapter 479: Dolgon's Persistence

"Dog minion, are you telling the truth?"

"Master, everything the slave said is true, if there is half a lie, the sky will thunder."

"There's no need to swear a poisonous oath, I don't believe those false words." Dolgon smiled and said, "However, you just said that Hong Chengchou and they tried to transform the Qing Dynasty, and I also found out, and they even brought some bad habits of the former Ming officialdom to the Qing Dynasty, and wanted to engage in party disputes in the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Master, you are an unborn British lord, and it seems that the tricks of Han Chen like Hong Chengchou will naturally not be able to hide from your eyes." Hou Fangyu said flatteringly, "The party struggle is true, and the harm is endless. ”

"Party strife is indeed infinitely harmful, and it will shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty."

Dolgon thought deeply and said: "The proposal proposed by Hong Chengchou and a few others to include all Han people in the Eight Banners Han Army will inevitably lead to the Manchu and Han ministers becoming evenly matched, and the party strife continues. ”

"Even the party struggle between Hanchen and Hanchen will become more intense."

"In this way, without the need for Nanming or Pseudo-Shun to use troops, the Qing Dynasty itself will fall apart."

"The master sees it." Hou Fangyu also deeply agreed, "Party strife will inevitably lead to the destruction of the country." ”

"But there is also a big benefit to this move that should not be overlooked." Dolgon muttered, "That is to allow the Qing Dynasty to obtain millions of troops overnight, this matter is particularly important, after all, Nanming already has more than 800,000 troops." ”

Hou Fangyu pondered for a moment and then said: "The master can take a compromise, so that he will not offend the Manchu people and shake the foundation, but also allow the Qing Dynasty to obtain millions of soldiers." ”

"A compromise?" Dolgon's expression moved slightly and asked, "What kind of compromise?" ”

Hou Fangyu said: "500,000 Han households from Gyeonggi, Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong will be selected to join the Eight Banners Han Army, and these Han people can be divided into fields according to Ding, and they will be exempted from grain tax or only a small grain tax, and the remaining more than 1 million Han households will all move to Gyeonggi to make coats with the Manchu people, and the specific ones will be distributed according to the title of Manchu meritorious service." ”

"This is really a good idea, not only can it expand the number of troops for the Qing Dynasty by 500,000 overnight, but it can also curry favor with the majority of Manchus, so that it will not lead to opposition from the Manchus." Dolgon's eyes lit up, and then he added, "But to do so will also offend the vast majority of the Han gentry." ”

500,000 Han households were selected to be included in the Eight Banners Han Army, and the 500,000 mu of Han people were to be divided into farmland, and then the remaining 1 million or so Han households were forcibly moved to Gyeonggi to be coated by the Manchurians.

The reason for this is also very simple, because most of the cultivated land in Shanxi, Hebei and Shanxi is concentrated in the hands of the Han gentry, and if the Qing Dynasty wants to divide the land to the Han people who carry the flag, they can only rob the cultivated land of these Han gentry.

It is absolutely impossible to make the Manchurians spit out the cultivated land that they had taken away from the horse race.

In addition to the 500,000 households that carried the flag, and the remaining more than 1 million households were moved to Gyeonggi, then the landlords and gentry in the provinces of the Great Qing Dynasty would not even have tenant farmers.

As for the more than one million Han families who were relocated to Gyeonggi, they had no choice but to obey under the butcher's knife.

Besides, they planted land for Han landlords in their hometown, and they planted land for the Manchus in Gyeonggi, so there was no difference.

"What if you offend the Han landlord and gentry?" Hou Fangyu smiled and said, "Do they have any other choice than to be a great Qing Shunmin?" Will Nanming be able to take them in, or will the pseudo-Shun be able to tolerate them? ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Hearing this, Dolgon began to think seriously, maybe Hou Fangyu's proposal could really work?

First seize the cultivated land, and then seize the tenant farmers, it seems that Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Sun Zhiqi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and other Hanchen must be dissatisfied, but what can they do if they are dissatisfied?

These Hanchen first rebelled against the former Ming, and then rebelled against the hypocrisy, whether Chongzhen or Li Zicheng hated these Hanchens to the bone.

Chongzhen even publicly claimed that he wanted to implement Juntian in the north, so even if these Hanchens rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty, there would be no good results, and as for the puppet Shun Emperor Li Zicheng, there was no need to worry, as far as he executed Niu Jinxing Lingchi, it can be seen that this person is not a big-minded person, so it is unlikely that those Hanchen will vote for the puppet Shun again.

Is it really as Hou Fangyu said, what if the Han landlord gentry is offended?

These people are just a flock of sheep, so what can they do if they are killed and eaten for meat?

"Dog minion." Dolgon kicked Hou Fangyu with a smile and scolded again, "There are still a lot of ghost ideas. ”

Hou Fangyu immediately smiled flatteringly: "The slave has a lot of ghost ideas, but he will only contribute ghost ideas for the sake of the master and the Qing Dynasty, and the slave is just an idiot." ”

Dolgon smiled, and then instructed Cao Eryu: "Immediately summon Qi Chongge, Ganglin, Sonny and others to discuss politics." ”

It seems that Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanme, Hou Fangyu and other staff members can only provide advice, but when it comes to making decisions, Dolgon still has to consult with Qi Chongge, Ganglin, Sony and other military ministers.

Early the next morning, an edict was issued in the military engine room, ordering the governors of all provinces to screen the Han people and raise the flag.

Dolgon still had some means, and instead of thinking about it in one step, it was divided into two stages.

In the first stage, 500,000 Han people were selected to carry the flag, so as to stabilize the local situation and bring the people of Gyeonggi, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong provinces together.

In the second phase, the remaining million households will be relocated to Gyeonggi.

Therefore, after the first edict was issued, in addition to those landlords and gentry who had a large amount of arable land, the landlords and gentry who did not have much arable land in their names even expressed their gratitude to the Qing court, and the Hebei gentry led by Zhang Jinyan even got a letter of 10,000 words, openly wanting to give Dolgon the name of God and change his father regent to emperor.

Of course, the big landlord who sits on thousands of acres of fertile land is not happy.

But it's useless, the handle of the knife is in the hands of Jiannu, what can you do?

Compared with the landlords and gentry, the gratitude of the people in the north is more simple.

The Han people, who carried the flag and were exempt from taxes, vied with each other to erect a shrine to Dolgon.

Then the phenomenon of fleeing to the south disappeared overnight.

It's hard to leave the homeland, and if you can survive, who wants to leave your homeland?

As a result, the law and order situation in several provinces under the rule of Jiannu has been greatly improved.

Half a month later, the Qing court issued a second edict - migration.

Moreover, Dolgon also kept a heart, and did not directly say that he would give the Han people who migrated to Gyeonggi to the Manchus as clothed slaves, but only said that Gyeonggi was empty and needed to move the people of several northern provinces to enrich Gyeonggi, and he also lied to the people that as long as they arrived in Gyeonggi, they could give 50 mu of arable land per ding.

Because there were 500,000 households in front of them to carry the banner and divide the land, and the Qing court also issued moving rations, the remaining 1 million or so Han people in the northern provinces happily embarked on the journey to Gyeonggi.

At this time, the landlords and gentry of the northern provinces finally realized that something was wrong.

After years of war, there are only about 1.5 million households left in the northern provinces.

Now 500,000 households have been classified into the Eight Banners Han Army and become banner people, and the remaining more than 1 million households have been forcibly relocated to Gyeonggi by the Qing court. In the future, you can only rely on your own hands to farm, how can this work?

As soon as this edict was issued, several provinces under the rule of Jiannu suddenly stirred up an uproar, and the Hanchen in the court and the central government discussed one after another, and the local gentry were even more distressed, such as mourning.

For these landlords and gentry, it is really the end of a good life.

So the representatives of the gentry led by Zhang Jinyan wrote another 10,000-word letter, claiming that this move would shake the Qing Dynasty and make Dolgon take back his life no matter what.

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, and Ning Wan also urged Dolgon to take back his life.

Because Hong Chengchou saw that after listening to their opinions and making major reforms to the Eight Banners system, Dolgon did not continue to follow the path they had drawn out, but turned around on the spot and retreated to the old Khan's Eight Banners fishing and hunting system, and Dolgon clearly wanted to build the northern provinces into an enlarged version of the Houjin Khanate.

This is too far from Hong Chengchou's ideal "country".

However, Dolgon didn't listen at all, he attached great importance to Hong Chengchou's opinions, but he was not gullible, and he still had his own insistence in Dolgon's heart, such as the shaving method, and the Eight Banners fishing and hunting system, which was the foundation of the Jurchen or the Qing Dynasty, and Dolgon would never give up easily because of anyone's advice.

……

When Li Ruolian sent Jiannu's edict to Nanjing through secret channels, Chongzhen was personally supervising the cement making in the Gewuke Factory at the foot of Qingliang Mountain.

To make cement, you first have to have a kiln.

There are the best masons in the Ming Dynasty in the Gewuke workshop, and Chongzhen selected a group of masons to build a full fifty calcining kilns at the northern foot of Qingliang Mountain.

Chongzhen only remembered that there were limestone, clay and some additives in the ingredients of cement, but the proportion of ingredients and the types of additives were not very clear, so he could only try to try.

Fifty kilns were divided into five control groups, with a total of 10 kilns in each group.

The first control is composed of 90 parts limestone and 1 part clay, and 10 calcining kilns are filled with different additives, such as iron ore, copper ore, glass or charcoal.

The second control was assembled with 70 percent limestone and 3 percent clay, plus different additives.

Then, by analogy, the fifth control assembly was composed of one limestone and nine percent clay, and ten different additives were added to the ten calcining kilns of each group, and then the furnace cavity was filled with wheat straw and began to be calcined for a long time.

Chongzhen's calcining kiln is similar to the common brick kiln, and the kiln temperature can usually reach about 800 degrees.

The temperature of the porcelain kiln for firing porcelain is more than 1200 degrees, and the temperature of ordinary brick kilns is not enough, but the kiln temperature required for calcining cement is even higher, and it needs to be more than 1400 degrees.
