Chapter 224, you must not let Qianlong run away!
Julu County, Shunde Prefecture.
Zhu Daohua, the son of the Great Tomorrow, is here at this time.
The armies that had been scattered to surrender and pursue the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had basically gathered back.
The 1st Brigade of the Army and the 7th Dragoon Brigade led by Luo Dingshan were also ordered to come to make peace with Emperor Zhu's Guards.
At this time in Julu County, Emperor Zhu had more than 27,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
After a great battle, it is being repaired in the county.
More than 20,000 troops arrived, but it brought prosperity to this historic city that was fortunate enough to escape the devastation of the war.
On the one hand, because the Ming army was disciplined and did not commit any crimes in the autumn, Emperor Zhu released the Anmin List as soon as he entered the city, so that the people of Julu County let go of their worries about the crossing of the army.
On the other hand, it is because the guards led by Emperor Zhu have to repair here for at least ten days.
Let the soldiers who have just experienced the big war have a good rest, so now the army has implemented a rotating vacation, and each soldier can get five days of vacation.
More importantly.
The soldiers of the Ming army were paid very well, especially the elite such as the Guards Corps, which were basically all non-commissioned officers.
So these days.
Julu County has many temporary industries around serving the soldiers of the Ming army.
There are food stalls set up outside the barracks, as well as Goolan liquor shops in the city, which are also popular these days.
Let the people of Julu hope that Emperor Zhu's army can stay for a longer period of time, and it is best to stay here
However, it is clear that the wishes of the people of Julu are difficult to fulfill.
Because as the soldiers returned to camp at the end of their holidays, this short-lived prosperity disappeared.
At this time, the Yanai of Julu County.
Zhu Daohua, military advisor Tao Biquan, two corps commanders Wang Dayong, Luo Dingshan, and several chiefs of staff all showed expressions of crying and laughing on their faces.
That Heavenly King Liu Zhixie actually sent it to the door by himself.
Oh.
It's not delivered to the door yourself.
It was sent to Julu City in eight sedan chairs.
It's right behind the county office now.
This was a big surprise to Zhu Daohua and his staff officers.
This Heavenly King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not caught on the battlefield.
Instead, he was sent to Zhu Daohua to condemn tomorrow.
At the same time, the princes and princes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom jointly signed a letter, asking the king of Pingxi to write a letter and a detailed record of the current population and military strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, we have recruited hundreds of thousands of troops from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Liu Zhixie is a scourge after all, it is better to do so."
Tao Biquan said, making a head-killing gesture.
Zhu Daohua frowned slightly, then shook his head and said: "Liu Zhixie raised troops against the Qing Dynasty and severely damaged the Eight Banners in the Northwest, which is meritorious, how can he kill him, seal him as a prince of Anle County, and give the duke of Zhongdu a mansion to raise it." β
"An Le Gong? Will it be too big? β
Tao Biquan said.
His own title is still a marquis.
And now the Duke of Song is Zhao Si, the Duke of Lan, Luo Fangbo, and Napoleon, the Duke of Jiaguo. Bonaparte, Yu Guo Gong Gu Song four.
There are a bunch of marquis in the downstream, and there is not even a county prince.
However, these titles are not small, but the actual benefits are not large.
On the one hand, there is no privilege of tax exemption and exemption from lawsuits, and only some economic benefits can be obtained.
Noble annuity and house endowment.
And now the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty is very healthy, and of course it is up to the nobles to pay their salaries.
Seeing Tao Biquan's appearance, Zhu Daohua certainly knew his thoughts.
The White Lotus Sect and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom offended the interests of the gentry.
Therefore, Tao Biquan, who is the leader of the Hunan gentry, of course, does not want to see Liu Zhixie.
However, Zhu Daohua did not intend to kill Liu Zhixie.
There is also the White Lotus Sect's vote of princely generals.
All of them started by mobilizing the peasants and engaging in a peasant movement.
He is one of the few "experts on Chinese peasant issues".
Zhu Daohua also wants to know more about the peasant class, after all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it is important to put on a posture of loving the people like a son.
And he also wants to use the Taiping Taiguo as a sword to sweep away the demons in the West.
Zhu Daohua picked up the excerpt he said.
The Ming King of the White Lotus Sect?
Zhu Daohua shook his head, these cult guys really have big brains.
However, the sword of the Ming King, the idea of sweeping away the demons in the West is worthy of affirmation.
"Liu Zhixie can't be killed, the princes and generals below him will also surrender as much as possible, and the horizontal and vertical are just a matter of hundreds of thousands of Ming Yuan." Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.
Maybe these heavenly warriors will expand their territory for China in the Americas in the future.
Otherwise, where would Boss Zhu find so many generals with war experience to go to Tuntian.
Of course.
How to control these heavenly generals is also a problem.
But it's not difficult, it's nothing more than mixing sand, giving benefits and so on.
Anyway, there will definitely be no less than 10 million Chinese people who will immigrate to the Americas at that time.
Therefore, these hundreds of thousands of people are only a small part, and they are all Han Chinese, so they can be easily digested.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, let these soldiers of the heavenly kingdom who have experience in fighting wars open up in advance and gain a firm foothold, so that the subsequent immigration can be easier.
Since the Heavenly Kingdom Soldiers are going to be used, of course the Heavenly Kingdom leaders such as Liu Zhixie and Ran Tianyuan can't be killed casually.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is entrenched in Guanzhong, must also be retained, but it will have to be renamed.
"As for Qi Lin, I will make him the king of Pingxi, the king of Pingxi, replenish some weapons and food, and set off to the west in August and September this year, let him first wrap up the color of the Western Regions Province, and I want a Western Regions Province for all Han people! If this can be achieved, I can support the king of Pingxi to take the Ferghana Basin of the Kazakh Khanate as his home, and make it the western domain of the Ming Dynasty. β
The Western Regions Province is adding a Pingxi Domain.
It is thousands of kilometers away from the core of China.
But successive Chinese dynasties sought to take control of the area, which was a key part of China's westward expansion.
If the Pingxi Domain can complete the two tasks of "enveloping the Western Regions Province" and "establishing the Ferghana Basin".
Then this Pingxi Domain is really a great contribution to the country and the nation.
There are completely Sinicized Western Regions provinces and the Pingxi Domain, which can only be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty had two iron fists in Central Asia.
To the west, you can expand your influence in the Middle East, to the south, you can cooperate with many Indian vassals to resist the European colonizers' desire for hegemony in Central Asia, and to the north, you can strike at the soft belly of Tsarist Russia.
It can be said that in terms of geopolitics, the Ming Dynasty can completely change the population structure of this region through immigration and reclamation, so that the Ming Dynasty can firmly control Central Asia, the geopolitical highland of the Eurasian continent, when it competes for hegemony in the Eurasian continent in the future.
Emperor Zhu's abacus was quite shrewd.
After making a decision on the future of the Taiping Taiguo.
Emperor Zhu came to the backyard and summoned Liu Tianwang, the Taiping Heavenly King.
Liu Tianwang sat on the chair, his face was calm.
It looks like it's a convincing loss.
However, the two people beside him, the Marquis of the Heavenly Kingdom, Luo Siju and Ran Tianyuan, both cried with sad faces, with tears on their faces, obviously it was the three of them who cried with a headache before.
However, behind the three of them, there are also many Heavenly Kingdom generals.
They all lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to their eyes, waiting for Emperor Zhu's final verdict.
They also lost completely.
I can't think of confronting Daming anymore.
Zhu Daohua looked at Liu Zhixie and said: "Liu Zhixie, you should be guilty of leading the troops to fight against me, but I think that you raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, and you have meritorious service to the nation, I will exempt you from capital crimes, and Feng Er will be the prince of Anle County in the Ming Dynasty, and you will live in Zhongdu for a long time in the future." β
He lived in Zhongdu for a long time.
It means that without the will of Emperor Zhu, you can't go to the capital, and even you can only live in the Anle County Mansion for the rest of your life.
It's kind of a temporary house arrest.
However, it is not bad to pull it to the entrance of the vegetable market and chop it with a knife.
And the Anle County Mansion is also quite large, at least it is much more comfortable than being in prison.
If he was caught by the Qing Dynasty, Liu Zhixie was afraid that he would not even have the future of being chopped with a knife, so he had to slowly cut the meat with a small knife and cut 3,000 knives.
So Liu Zhixie bowed his hand and sighed in his heart: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen." β
Zhu Daohua arranged Liu Zhixie, and looked at Luo Siju and Ran Tianyuan again.
These are the two people who can fight the most in the Taiping Taiguo.
A general who was born in Yeluzi can fight without a division and enter the army on his own, which shows that he is also talented.
"The two of you will be temporarily crowned earls and go to the Ming Army Military Academy for three years of study."
Zhu Daohua said.
There will be many battlefields in the future.
It's also a good thing to have two good generals.
And went to a military school for three years.
Any protΓ©gΓ© is unfamiliar, and there will be no threat.
And it also seems that Emperor Zhu is magnanimous.
Ran Tianyuan and Luo Siju hurriedly thanked him.
Emperor Zhu had just finished dealing with Liu Tianwang.
The news that Zhao Si sent someone to inform Qianlong of his movements also came.
"Qianlong is running away!"
Tao Biquan immediately made a judgment.
"It is estimated that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom lost too completely and frightened Qianlong, and now he is moving north with illness, and it is estimated that he wants to coerce hundreds of thousands of Han people in Beijing City to go out of the customs and go to the Western Regions as their home."
Qianlong refused to settle down and be Ming Sizong, and was going to be the Yelu Dashi of Liaodezong.
But now the Ming Dynasty has the king of Pingxi.
Qianlong went to the Western Regions, maybe it was the future of Yongli.
"Wrapped up in hundreds of thousands of Han people, Qianlong thought it was quite beautiful!"
Zhu Daohua now has the king of Pingxi, so Qianlong doesn't want to go to the Western Regions easily.
Emperor Zhu was especially unlikely to allow Qianlong to retain so much strength to go to the Western Regions.
Otherwise, if the Pingxi Domain couldn't defeat Qianlong, and let Qianlong come to a famous king, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be held back by the war in the Western Regions?
The Qing court can run - in fact, Zhu Daohua can't stop it, and the Qing court has now transferred a lot of people to Guihua City.
But Qianlong can't run!
The hundreds of thousands of troops that Qianlong had at hand couldn't just run away!
In particular, he can't be allowed to go with hundreds of thousands of Han people.
In this way, wouldn't Qianlong's strength at hand far surpass that of the Pingxi Domain?
And if they collude with Tsarist Russia, then this collusion between internal and external forces to deal with the emerging Ming Dynasty is really a big trouble.
Come to think of it.
Zhu Daohua immediately ordered: "Gather all the cavalry and dragoons, join forces to pursue Qianlong, and send an order to Peng Jun, let him break the Shanhai Pass as soon as possible and block Qianlong's route back to the capital!" β
"You must not let Qianlong run away!"
