No. 199: The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river

As mentioned last time, the "fake" Emperor Chongzhen is working on the "post-disaster reconstruction" of the abbot, and wants to listen to the opinions of the people who have survived the disaster for reference.

At this time, the idea of the "fake" Emperor Chongzhen is not the same as the situation in the same situation in the same time and space, but if you let others lead you by the nose, sooner or later you will fall into the shackles of the "bureaucratic system". This is like the next scene that happened in another time and space, and from this moment on, the history of "Nanming" began.

At that time, although the Ming Dynasty had been broken through the capital by Li Zicheng's peasant army, there was actually a very strong ruling base in the southern region. Moreover, the plague that broke out at the end of the Ming Dynasty mainly occurred in North China, and its impact on the Jiangnan region was limited, and the losses caused were not large.

In addition, the peasant army uprisings in the last years of the Ming Dynasty also mainly occurred in the Central Plains in the north, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia and the Bashu region in the southwest. Although there were sporadic peasant uprisings in the south, they were mainly concentrated in Lingnan and Jiangxi, which were not as strong as those in the north and were still in a stage where they could be easily suppressed.

However, after the suicide of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the "Dashun" regime headed by Li Zicheng occupied Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places; The "Great West" regime, headed by Zhang Xianzhong, occupied the Sichuan region; As for the Manchus, their sphere of influence was limited to Shanhaiguan at that time.

The vast area south of the Huai River, including Jiangnan and South China, was basically in the hands of the Ming Dynasty government, but the capital was in Nanjing, and it lost the strength to control the world, so it was called the "Southern Ming Dynasty" by the historians, referred to as "Southern Ming". At this time, "Nanming" still has strong strength.

By the way, due to historical reasons, the Ming Dynasty has always implemented the "two capitals system", dividing the territory of the country into "two capitals and thirteen provinces". Although Beijing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor and various high-ranking officials also lived in Beijing, in Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty still had a complete set of leadership teams.

This "leading group" is completely copied according to Beijing, and there are also "six departments" and "yamen at all levels", which is more strange in ancient Chinese history, and it is estimated that only the Zhou Dynasty in 1500 years will be like this, because after the death of King Wu of Zhou, Zhou Gong Ji Dan assisted the government, and built Luoyang as "Wang Ji".

Since there is a precedent of the Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Taizu Zhu Chongba also built the capital in "Jinling City", it is precisely for this reason that more than a month after Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, officials in Nanjing supported Emperor Chongzhen's cousin Zhu Yousong to officially ascend the throne, and later generations called "Emperor Hongguang".

With the accession of Emperor Hongguang to the throne, the following history is a bit complicated. Let's talk about the Manchu side first. Just a year before Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, Huang Taiji, the first emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, suddenly died of a recurrence of an old injury. After the death of Emperor Taiji, his son Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne, heralding that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would enter the Central Plains.

Because Emperor Shunzhi was only six years old when he ascended the throne, he was a "little kid" who didn't understand anything. Therefore, at that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also in a state of suspicion of the Lord Shaoguo. And the regent Dorgon, as one of the many brothers of the emperor, although nominally held great power, there were many contradictory opponents.

However, because Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, the "Manchu Qing" seized a golden opportunity, after all, the content of the "blood book" left by Emperor Chongzhen when he was forced to hang himself has spread far and wide, and it can be famous for the "Manchu" division. Of course, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is a piece of fat, and it cannot be missed no matter what.

After that, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, robbed the goddess "Chen Yuanyuan" in his mind because of his grudge against Emperor Chongzhen, and at the same time understood that his own troops alone were not Li Zicheng's opponents, so he was angry and rushed to the crown for a red face, directly opened Shanhaiguan, and let the Qing army enter the customs and besiege Li Zicheng with himself.

After that, Dolgon seized the opportunity and quickly led tens of thousands of elite Eight Banners, and after uniting with Wu Sangui, he defeated Li Zicheng's peasant army head-on in a stone area near Shanhaiguan, chasing and slashing them all the way, chasing and beating them fiercely, and the corpses were all over the field, the reason was "to avenge Emperor Chongzhen".

In the battle of a stone, Li Zicheng actually had an advantage in terms of troops. But in the end, because Li Zicheng led the army into Beijing before, the army contracted the plague, coupled with Li Zicheng's own command error, so the peasant army was finally defeated, forced to withdraw from Beijing, and retreated to the Central Plains.

After the Battle of One Stone, Dolgon quickly consolidated his core leadership position within the Manchu court. After that, the suspicion of the Qing Dynasty's internal rulers and young states disappeared temporarily, and by continuing to expand externally, it proudly covered up most of the internal contradictions and accelerated the Manchu Qing's entry into the Central Plains.

And Dolgon was also able to rely on his command skills to command the Eight Banners army to attack the city and seize the land all the way, and not only occupied most of the Central Plains in a short period of time. and chased Li Zicheng all the way, and at the same time received the territory discarded by Li Zicheng all the way, and it didn't take long to occupy the entire North China.

A year later, Li Zicheng was defeated and killed, and the Manchus occupied almost all of Li Zicheng's remaining territory, including the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region. Next, it was the turn of the Manchu Qing to clean up Zhang Xianzhong of Bashu. Although there is still a "Nanming" regime in the south, Nanming is busy lying down and dying at the moment.

During the fall of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhang Xianzhong briefly established the "Great Western Regime" in Sichuan, because of his own brutality and thirst for killing, and without any ability to govern the country, it led to the death of millions of Sichuan people in the scourge of swords, which made the heavens angry and resentful, unpopular, and finally tragically attacked and killed by the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

So, when the Qing army destroyed Li Zicheng, and the territory bordered Zhang Xianzhong's "Great West Regime", the end of Zhang Xianzhong came. In less than a year, Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and killed, and the "Onishi regime" was destroyed. However, many of the generals under Zhang Xianzhong were reluctant to surrender to the Qing army.

Among them, a group of Onishi generals led by Li Dingguo, after Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, chose to directly surrender to the "Nanming regime", and later followed the "Nanming regime" to fight against the Qing army south. At this point, the only obstacle to the unification of the world and the establishment of the "Qing Dynasty" by the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the "Southern Ming Regime".

However, what is ridiculous is that on the side of the "Southern Ming regime", after the "Hongguang Emperor" Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, if he rectified the rule of officials in time, gathered the army, and strengthened the centralization of power, it may indeed be difficult to counterattack the Qing Dynasty, but it is actually very easy to keep the vast area south of the Huai River, and the Southern Song Dynasty did it.

What's more, when Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were defeated one after another, if the "Southern Ming" could take advantage of the situation to take the Central Plains, it might not be able to reap the benefits, and after the backup was sufficient, then take advantage of the Qing army's failure to retreat in time when Sichuan was trapped, and a halfway sniper and a big battle with the Manchu Eight Banner Army, it may not be impossible to turn the tables!

But the problem is that such a great opportunity was buried by "Emperor Hongguang" Zhu Yousong, because after "Emperor Hongguang" ascended the throne, he didn't care about national affairs at all, and only cared about eating, drinking and having fun. Such a hedonistic emperor is obviously not a role to turn the tide. The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river!

It was precisely because of the inaction of the "Hongguang Emperor" that in the next eight months, the local warlords within the "Southern Ming" began to expand their armies frantically, resulting in a forest of mountains. The central government's control over the local warlords became less and less, and eventually even powerless.

It is precisely for this reason that just a few months after the "Hongguang Emperor" ascended to the base, the "Qing Dynasty", which gradually annexed Li Zicheng's territory, bordered the "Southern Ming" for the first time. After that, the "Qing Dynasty" changed the direction of its main attack, and switched from suppressing the peasant uprisings in various places to attacking the "Southern Ming regime" with all its might, so as to unify the world as soon as possible.
