Chapter 136: The Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses
Since Huang Taiji ruled the Manchu Dynasty, in order to stabilize the throne of Khan, he ended the four major Baylor governance system, the Ming system, and established three courts and six ministries to dominate government affairs. In addition, the Metropolitan Investigation Yuan and the Imperial Court were set up, and a relatively complete set of state institutions was established.
In order to expand the number of soldiers, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia were created, and in order to create a cultural system, on the basis of the old Manchu script, circle points were added, and the new Manchu script was changed. In order to connect Mongolia and Tibet, we vigorously supported and propagated Lamaism.
His ambition is also increasing day by day, Tiancong ten years (1636) on April 11, held the enthronement ceremony, changed the Jin to the Qing Dynasty, changed the Yuan Chongde, Tiancong ten years is the first year of Chongde. In order to attack the Central Plains, he was preparing all the time, and in just seven years, the Han army flag was expanded from two flags to eight banners. Until he died of the wounds and deaths of his father Khan Nurhachi, he combined a single cavalry branch into a diversified army with artillery, cavalry, and infantry.
He took a series of measures, such as developing the economy, reforming culture, and preparing for war, which gave him the foundation for his later entry into the Central Plains.
Of course, the issue discussed at the top level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty today is mainly the border between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty, and an unknown military force in the area suddenly rose up in a short period of two years, carrying out a large number of conquests against the Washorns and the Mongols, and several tribes disappeared in Mongolia in two years. At first, the Mongol tribes hid and did not report it, fearing that the Manchus would annex them, but later they saw that the enemy was too strong to hold on, so they asked the Manchus for help.
In order to find out such a force, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has lost hundreds of spies, but they still don't know anything about this force, only understand that this is definitely not the army of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, the so-called peasant army within the Ming Dynasty will not be able to develop at all.
But Huang Taiji and the others can't watch them develop, if the Mongolian tribes are ruled by them, the Qing Kingdom will definitely lose not a single star. And the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, so this force must be eradicated, this is Huang Taiji's idea, because as long as the rear is stable, can he attack the Ming Dynasty without any scruples.
In this hall, all the high-ranking people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were present, Prince Heshuo Zheng: Zilharang, Prince Heshuoli: Dai Shan, Prince Heshuorui: Dolgon, Prince Heshuo Yu: Duoduo, Prince Heshuo Su: Haoge, King Wuyingjun: Azig, Rao Yu Beyler: Abatai, Beyler: Dudu (the eldest son of Nurhachi's eldest son Chu Ying), and Scholar of the Inner Secretariat: Fan Wencheng......
At first glance, it was either the prince or Baylor, or the banner master of the Eight Banners, but no matter how powerful they were, they would not be so empty-eyed if they didn't know who the enemy was or how many people there were. Because if you can defeat the Mongol cavalry forces, you will definitely not be worse than them.
......
In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng established power in Xiangyang, and at the same time, the plague epidemic in Jingshi, the remaining Zuo Liangyu who could fight became chaotic, and Sun Chuanting could only go around in Shaanxi. At the beginning of May, Zhang Xianzhong conquered Wuchang, killed the king of Chu, and formally established the 'Daxi' regime, and the Ming Dynasty was already in danger.
And most of the plot characters in the rivers and lakes have become the mouths of the players, and the martial arts cheats, gold and silver treasures are the objects of the player's plunder......
After Yuan Chengzhi got the Golden Snake Sword, he was about to assassinate Huang Taiji again, but he didn't expect that Huang Taiji died suddenly in the harem of Shengjing. had to give up, just at this time, Wen Qingqing was taken away by He Hongyao and came to King Hui's mansion, Yuan Chengzhi could only enter the Jingshi to find after teaching the Five Poisons Sect a lesson.
At the same time as Huang Taiji's sudden death, it seems that God is helping Li Zicheng, in August, he once again defeated Sun Chuanting in Jiaxian, less than a month Li Zicheng conquered the clearance, Sun Chuanting died in battle, and the army of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains has been lost. And the only one who can have the strength to fight is Wu Sangui, who is stationed in Shanhaiguan.
However, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Liaodong army could only block the Manchu army here, and they could not move, and the situation of the Ming Dynasty was precarious.
The world is in turmoil, the Jingshi is not stable, King Hui wants to be the emperor, and colludes with Cao Huachun. I didn't expect to be discovered by Yuan Chengzhi, who was looking for Wen Qingqing, and after King Hui learned of Yuan Chengzhi's life experience, he decided that after he sat on the throne, he would be his father Zhaoxue.
Jingshi staged another absurd farce. Afterwards, Yuan Chengzhi took the seriously injured An Jianqing to find Aunt An, and the family was reunited afterwards. Yuan Chengzhi returned to Beijing again and saved He Hongyao and others who had retreated in the palace.
Ma Zhan and the others knew that their time had come, and if they didn't go south, I was afraid that Jingshi would really be destroyed by Li Zicheng, who was about to become emperor in Xi'an. 200,000 troops, 300,000 war horses, in January of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, went straight to Beijing......
Half a month later, hundreds of thousands of troops arrived in Beijing, and all the officials in the capital were trembling, all of them were stunned by this sudden army. At first, I thought it was King Chuang's army, but looking at the banner, it was not, and before everyone could take a breath, Ma Zhan asked to meet Emperor Chongzhen directly under the city.
Chongzhen was already powerless against this devastated country, and he was also disappointed in the benevolent and moral Wenchen, and learned that the army under the city was coming, for the sake of the people in the city, in the end, he still made an appointment to meet Ma Zhan.
In the Forbidden City, in the Wenhua Palace, there were two rows of brocade guards, and Ma Zhan saw Emperor Chongzhen sitting on the top. An emperor in the prime of life looks like an old man who is about to be in his forties. The shiny hair that should have been jet black behind him has now turned gray.
Ma Zhan did not kneel, but stood in the hall and said, "Strangers in the countryside, I have seen Your Majesty." ”
Chongzhen didn't speak, just looked at Ma Zhan directly, he really couldn't think clearly, what did this very young person in front of him want to do when he came here? What can he do! Seek an official position, forget it, what is there in the current Ming Dynasty, except for a group of courtiers with wine bags and rice bags and corpses?
After thinking about it, he said, "I don't know what Mr. is doing in the palace?"
Ma Zhan replied very simply: "Save Daming, save the world!"
Chongzhen heard these words as if he was grasping a life-saving straw, but as if he thought of something again, his eyes that were originally happy became very dim again, and said: "Mr. said that it was funny, the current Ming Dynasty is powerless to return to the sky." Hehe, there is no army, no food, what can I do to save the Ming Dynasty!"
Seeing the changes in Chongzhen, Ma Zhan was unmoved, but continued: "The army does not need Your Majesty to worry, there are 200,000 troops stationed outside the Jingshi, and Your Majesty does not need to raise food and salary." ”
After hearing Ma Zhan's words, Chongzhen's eyes shone again, but he still asked cautiously: "If you don't want these, what does Mr. want?"
Ma Zhan knew that the meat drama was coming, and he felt that he would definitely get a clear answer to the conditions discussed here, because this was an emperor who was about to become the king of the dead country, even if he drank to quench his thirst, even if he split the country, as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, he would definitely agree.
Therefore, Ma Zhan spoke: "We don't need to split the Ming Dynasty, nor do we need high-ranking officials and lords, as long as the property after the destruction of all forces, and we need half of all the wealth of the entire Ming Dynasty." ”
Chongzhen looked at Ma Zhan deeply, such conditions will definitely not suffer, especially an emperor who is about to die, but will such conditions be too simple. You must know that even if the person in front of you leads the army outside the city and directly destroys the capital, it will be easy, and then it is not difficult to dominate the world. But now it's too easy.
It was because it was too simple and too easy that Chongzhen felt unreal, but I had to say that such conditions were very tempting, and soon he spoke: "To be honest, the conditions offered by Mr. are very generous for a monarch who is about to die." I guess the gentleman has something to say. ”
"Indeed, although these conditions are simple, they are really needed for us people, because we can't take the land, so we can only need money, so Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. However, if we want to put down the rebellion, we must have great righteousness, and I hope that Your Majesty can let me control the soldiers and horses in the world, at least three years, at most six years, I will be able to give Your Majesty a peaceful world with 200,000 troops of the Wind and Rain Alliance. Ma Zhan said.
At this stage of the horse war, this time definition reminded Chongzhen of Yuan Chonghuan, who is also a talent. But he promoted him all the way from the land of Weimo, and he also swore to himself that 'Liaodong can be recovered within five years', but what about the result, five years later, and a few years? He maliciously trampled on his trust, and he dared to kill the border generals without authorization, was he eliminating dissidents? Or did he really want to be the next Li Chengliang.
Hehe, shouldn't such a person be killed? Everyone in the world thinks that they killed the wrong one? But what about the lessons from the past, with the conditions at that time, who would dare to bet that Yuan Chonghuan would not be the next Li Chengliang. You must know that Mao Wenlong, as a border general, is almost at the same level as Yuan Chonghuan, just because Mao Wenlong did not cooperate with the battle, he killed him, first cut and then played.
Who would tolerate such a person who could not fulfill his promise, could not deny himself and others, and killed the general of the border pass without authorization? Is he really bullying me and not daring to kill him? I can admit that I killed Wei Zhongxian by mistake, but I will never admit that I killed Yuan Chonghuan by mistake.
Chongzhen fell into thought for a while, but with such a result, Ma Zhan and the others had already thought that as long as they were given time, he would definitely think of Yuan Chonghuan, which would cause scars, but they couldn't help but say it. And he has to gamble, bet that a dead king will make such a decision, because he has to make such a decision.
"Well, three to six years, I hope you can fulfill your agreement. As long as you can see hope in three years, I will give you a surprise, now you go down, tomorrow morning the court will have a brocade guard to take you to the court meeting, then I will give you the right to do so. After coming back to his senses, Chongzhen made a decision.
......
In the Ming Dynasty, on January 18, the 17th year of Chongzhen, in the early dynasty, under the witness of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Emperor Chongzhen signaled the eunuch to read such a holy decree: 'Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, there is a war of aliens and horses today, for the court to quell the rebellion, specially named the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, control all military affairs in the world, give the four grades below, the right to cut first and then play, Qin this. ’
