Dolgon, who entered the capital, behaved extremely restrained, not only did his subordinates strictly discipline the army and not disturb the people, but also issued several laws and decrees in a row as a benevolent lord to comfort people's hearts and stabilize the order.

That is: "Since the sixth day of the fifth month, I have set up a position for Chongzhen for the third day." ”

"Today, this dynasty is Dingding Yanjing, and the soldiers and civilians in the world are all my sons."

"In all the castles, men were sent to appease them with shut-in-arms, and those who shaved their hair and returned to obedience, and the magistrates were promoted to the next rank. He was the head of the civil and military officials, and he personally came to Beijing to meet the money, grain, books, soldiers and horses. If the limit is not reached, it is obvious that it is resisting, and what crime will be convicted, and the army will be sent to suppress it. ”

"Those who submit to the kings surnamed Zhu will not take away their titles, but will still be favored."

"All the officials of the yamen are hired as before, and they can report their names as soon as possible."

"Those who have returned to their hometowns to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests to avoid thieves are also heard, and they are still hired as former officials."

"All officials should change their bad habits, be loyal and honest together, and not benefit the people. I don't pay bribes, don't show favoritism, don't repair grievances, and violators will be punished. All new officials and civilians who commit such crimes will be governed by the law of the country. ”

Dolgon's set of combination punches, even pulling and fighting, continued to claim to the outside world as a thief to maintain the "reasonableness" of the Qing army's entry into the customs, and showed tolerance and generosity internally.

But the good times were short-lived, and with another announcement posting, the situation that had just stabilized was chaotic again.

"All officials, soldiers and civilians who surrender to sincerity wear shaved hair and dress in accordance with the system of this dynasty." The notice pasted on the wall, written clearly in large characters, the crowd of onlookers exploded instantly, and someone pointed to the Qing army on the street and exclaimed: "What are you kidding?" Do you want us to shave our heads and keep that rat's tail? ”

"The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, it is the beginning of filial piety, but today they want us to shave our hair and make it easy to wear, how can this be reasonable, how can it be reasonable!"

Under the anger of the crowd, the people threw gravel and rotten vegetables at the patrolling Qing army, and the Qing army, which was strictly ordered by Dolgon, caught a few troublemakers but did not dare to kill them, so they had to report the matter to Dolgon as soon as possible, waiting for him to decide.

At this time, Dolgon was also in a hurry, and the Wuying Hall was full of Han officials, asking him to withdraw the order to shave his hair.

The differences between the Manchu and Han cultures were not taken into account by Dolgon, and the original intention of issuing this decree was only to facilitate the separation between the enemy and the enemy.

If it is a compromise, will it not be changed overnight? So where do I put my regent's face? If you don't compromise, there's no better way than to kill.

It is important to know that Dolgon is not a Zilharang who thinks things with his ass, and using Han to rule Han is a strategy he calculated before entering the customs, and he will never change it easily.

Looking at Han Chen, who was gradually kicking his nose and face in the audience, Dolgon, who was in a contradictory dilemma, was angry, pointed to the audience and scolded: "Mud Kan! Don't forget who is the master! ”

Seeing that the regent was really angry, Baiguan immediately fell silent, and Dolgon took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "This matter ends here, I don't blame you, it is the king who is negligent." ”

Seeing that Dolgon's tone was soft, he had chosen to compromise, and immediately a civil official proposed that he should take back the order, but considering that it would lose the face of the court when the order was changed, the regent could suspend it.

As soon as these words came out, Dolgon was relieved and said: "That's right, this king's advice is true, but as a courtier, you should discuss it with this king, right?" ”

Twenty days later, the new order, which had been lightly polished by Hanchen, was issued from top to bottom and down to the streets.

"There is no distinction between the people who have been obedient in the past, so they are ordered to shave their hair so that they do not obey and disobey, and now they hear that the people's wishes are very good."

"From now on, the subjects of the world will continue to tie their hair as before, and they will do as they please."

The Manchu and Han finally compromised, and the shaving order was withdrawn, but at this time, how could there be anyone in the capital who tied his hair? All of them looked at the notice with their bare heads and pigtails on the back of their heads, not knowing whether it was better to cry or laugh.

.....

"Cisse! You're going in the wrong direction, and the capital is over there. Under Chongzhen's arrangement, the Jianyu Ying escaped smoothly, and Xisai led his companions to the south, and some people hurriedly reminded them.

"We can't just go back, the Ming army is probably deceiving us."

"So what are you going to do? We listen to you. ”

"Go in this direction, it's Taiyuan, I want to figure it out." After Cisse finished speaking, he walked forward without looking back.

A few people picked up some grass roots and bark along the way, and hurried desperately with wounds all over their bodies, with amazing will.

"It's the Ming Army!"

Cisse beckoned everyone to lie down quickly, looking at the tail of the Ming army marching on the official road in front of him, the Ming and yellow banners in the formation were erected high, and the golden dragon and clouds were also driving the fog.

"I see."

Cisse stared ahead and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "They are telling the truth with lies, trying to deceive us into spreading false news back, Emperor Chongzhen and Li Zicheng should be true to discuss peace, but it is not Taiyuan soldiers who came to Datong, but Datong sent reinforcements to Taiyuan." ”

The rest of the companions also looked like this when they heard this, "Then do we still follow?" ”

Cisse shook his head and said, "They have cavalry, we are easy to find, now that we have figured it out, let's rush back and report it to the prince first." ”

"Okay."

.....

Jiang Xuan's exit from the city was just the beginning, Chongzhen issued frequent imperial orders during the day, first responded to Jiang Xuan's proposal to consolidate the northern defense line of Datong, and ordered Wang Jinchao to lead his troops out of the city to drive the first line of Erbao to settle down.

Then he asked Jiang Hao by name to ask Ma Harrier Wang Fucheng, and after the meeting, Ma Harrier was ordered to lead the rest of the army out of the city and go west.

Sun Xuanhuai led the government officials to post notices in the city, and informed the mayors of each square to send a message to the people, that is, it is the responsibility of the great son of heaven to defend the land. Without him, only to die in battle. The Son of Heaven could not bear to implicate innocent people, and those who did not want to defend the city could go out of the city on their own today.

In fact, at the end of Chongzhen, I wanted to add a sentence that I wanted to live with the Son of Heaven Yunyun, but I felt that it was a little contrived, so I deleted it, and the people went and stayed as they pleased.

As soon as this news came out, the whole city was a sensation, and there was an endless stream of people leaving the city, and even the big families in the city were also alarmed, and they were anxious to find Sun Xuanhuai to ask for an explanation. What does that mean now?

When Sun Xuanhuai received the news, he was even more surprised than them, and the people's sentiment that had finally stabilized was lost as soon as these two sentences came out, so what did he do before?

"The minister is puzzled, please let Your Majesty solve your doubts." Sun Xuanhuai bowed in front of Chongzhen, made a plan in his heart, asked questions in a decisive tone, and if His Majesty's answer could not convince him, he would immediately pick his son and leave.

"If the city is besieged, and those who go out of the city today are the ones who will make trouble in the future, and if they want to die and live later, they must die first, then what is the problem with me giving those who want to live a way to live?"
