Chapter 566: Clearing
History has proven that human beings are the best at learning civilization, including all races. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, it does not include the kind of nation that uses less to unify more, because once they learn advanced civilization, they dig a grave for their own race, so they will inevitably suppress the main nation and make the country more and more ignorant and dark.
After the battle of Luoyang, the army was defeated, and Li Zicheng was dormant during that time, perhaps, he was deeply stimulated by Wang Dou, and after deep introspection, Li Zicheng came back and began to send officials to guard the city, and also set up a battalion, distributed the fields, and worked hard to train elite soldiers.
However, he may have been stimulated too much by Wang Dou, and after consulting with his staff and literati, Li Zicheng actually shouted the slogan of "no food for five years", which is also one of the effects of Wang Dou.
When Wang Dou saw this information, he couldn't help but smile and said to his subordinates: "I have to pay grain and taxes in the second year, and Li Thief still hasn't paid grain for five years?" Wait to die. ”
He has a reason to say this, Li Chuang's subordinates are hundreds of thousands, millions at every turn, they don't pay food, huge troops, army expenses, where is the source of food and salary? had to insist on the rogue style again, eat big households, blackmail local landlords and gentry, and desperately plunder cities around the country.
This kind of style can be done in the early stage, but it is not stable, and it will die in the later stage.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Li Chuang seizes power, there is nothing to plunder in the world, can he no longer pay grain? Definitely not!
However, the people who are accustomed to being free, if they are charged, they will instantly change from benefactors to bitter enemies.
Therefore, "meet the king and do not pay for food" - in one sentence, Li Zicheng's formal financial source was cut off. It also proves that he is short-sighted, and there is no one under his command, let alone him. Paying grain and taxes is still an important function of the formation of grassroots political power.
Li Zicheng fought an old battle, and he was very clever tactically, but he was too short-sighted in strategy. So in the end, it was inevitable that the fate of making wedding dresses for others would be nicknamed the king of wedding dresses in later generations. It's not unreasonable.
Of course, at this time, the slogan shouted by Li Zicheng had an incomparably powerful force, and hundreds of people flocked to join it, and he divided the fields and land in Henan Prefecture, which won the support of the people, and after the officers and soldiers entered. Desperate resistance.
At this time, Fu Zonglong, the new governor of the three sides, had just arrived in Shaanxi, and after the city of Luoyang was broken, he received a strict order from the imperial court. Quickly dispatch troops to suppress the thieves.
Like Henan, the drought locusts were raging in various parts of Shaanxi, and the supply of food and salaries for the officers and men of the requisition and suppression was unable to support it, and in the end, all the salaries of the soldiers in Guanzhong were paid, and the local people complained that the officers and men who went out did not receive sufficient food and wages.
In Layue, Fu Zonglong finally sent troops, leading tens of thousands of soldiers in Sichuan and Shaanxi, with He Renlong and Li Guoqi as generals, these officers and soldiers, the military discipline is not good, and they are fighting in the guest territory, so it is inevitable to burn, kill and loot, and some landlords and gentry in Henan Province who fled to Shaanxi also brought some villagers to return to their hometowns with them, which is even more ferocious.
So as soon as I got out of the customs, I resisted fiercely all the way.
At this time, Liu Fangliang, the left-behind general of Henan Mansion, was also a general who had been in the army, and used the technique of luring the enemy to go deep and secretly set up an ambush in Qimen Mountain.
In several cities, the morale of the officers and soldiers was high, and they were unknowingly ambushed.
The Ming army in various places, they are not the Jingbian army, the ability of the sentry cavalry is low, and the middle ambush is commonplace, Liu Fangliang is the elite in the forest, and the line is in contact, the Qin soldiers are defeated, He Renlong is the first to run, and Li Guoqi is from it.
The two led their families to ride finely, day and night, all the way to Lingbao, leaving only the governor Fu Zonglong, and most of the Sichuan and Shaanxi soldiers and horses were surrounded.
A steady stream of soldiers from Henan Mansion rushed to surround Fu Zonglong and others, Fu Zonglong broke through several times, but he couldn't get out.
On the twenty-seventh and eighth day of the lunar month, the Qin division was exhausted, Fu Zonglong killed the horses and mules to enjoy the army, and tomorrow, the horses and mules in the camp were exhausted, and the thieves took their corpses and divided them.
On the first day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the gunpowder, lead, and arrows in the camp were exhausted, Fu Zonglong led the army to break through, but in addition to more than 1,000 people to break through the siege and scatter, the rest were still not allowed to come out, and finally tens of thousands of troops in Sichuan and Shaanxi were all returned to Li Chuang.
Fu Zonglong was executed, and shouted: "I, Qin Du, have unfortunately fallen into the hands of thieves, and there are thieves on the left and right." ”
The thief spat on Zonglong and coerced him to surrender, Zonglong scolded the thief and said: "My minister, if you kill you, you will kill your ears, how can you send down the thief to slow down your death!" ”
The thief was angry, drew a knife to hit Zonglong, and his brain was servant, and when he heard about it, the emperor said: "If this is the case, it can be described as Pu Zhong." ”
The reinstatement of the military department is still in the book, plus the prince Shaobao, loyal and strong, and the brocade clothes of the world are hundreds of households, and they are buried.
Hearing that Zonglong died, He Renlong rushed back to Qin at night, and the emperor was helpless and charged him with his guilt and meritorious service to redeem himself......
……
At the beginning of the month, Jingnan Bocao changed Jiao, and Ningnan Bo Wang courtiers led their main barracks and new barracks to the south.
Just returned from the war, went home to rest for less than a month, and was about to set off again, the soldiers of the two towns had some complaints, but in terms of military order obedience, the two subordinates still did a good job, so the grievances were returned, and the soldiers still packed up and went south with Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen.
From Yutian, Zunhua to Kaifeng, Henan, the distance is more than 2,000 miles, even if you walk 50 miles a day, the two subordinates have to walk for more than a month.
What bothered the two was the army's food and grass.
According to the Ming Dynasty's grain and grass supply system, the army fights, part of the grain and grass is supplied by the imperial court, and most of the grain and grass is supplied by the local government.
The grain and grass supply system of the Ming Dynasty is an important reason why the guest soldiers are reluctant to go out, that is, the double military merit accounting, which also discourages many troops.
Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen naturally did not have a professional baggage battalion like Wang Dou, at most some civilians with the army, and they couldn't carry much grain and grass, so they didn't go far before they could eat and drink with the army.
I don't know why, all the way south, the two generals faintly felt a hostility around them, and many local officials along the way did everything possible to shirk it, unwilling to do so, or to supply less grain and grass, and finally the two had to buy grain with silver.
The seizure of Yizhou, coupled with the imperial court's reward, still has some silver in the hands of the two.
However, all the way south, the four fields were depressed, and the lack of food in the cities and towns was a part, and for some reason, there were always various forces that made the two fall into, holding silver in their hands, but they often had the embarrassment of not being able to buy grain and grass, just like Lu Xiangsheng back then.
In this way, the army marched, but often hungry and cold, coupled with the cold winter and the moon, not far from the New Year's Festival, the soldiers were not very willing to fight, and there were a lot of complaints, which made Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen angry, and at the same time there was some hesitation in their hearts.
Of course, when going south to suppress thieves, there are still places that make the two warm, for example, when passing through Zhuozhou, not only the Jingbian army guards in Laishui sent 5,000 bird guns on the east road, 300,000 rounds of Weijin medicine, but also brought a lot of grain, rice, beans and other things to the second general.
The march to Baoding, as well as the Zhending Zanhuang, Gaoyi, Baoding's general army Hu Dawei, and Zanhuang's guerrilla attack on Xu Yue'e, all provided a lot of help to the two, especially Xu Yue'e, who was pregnant at this time, with a high bulge in her abdomen, still stretching her arms, arranging food and grass for the two, so that the two generals would be grateful.
However, when talking to Hu Dawei and others, everyone was sighing, it seemed that the officials and generals around them were becoming more and more hostile to them, especially Xu Yue, who was more intentionally or unintentionally excluded, and Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, was no longer as enthusiastic about her as before.
From Lincheng to the south, the eyes are thousands of miles of red land, yellow and boundless, or there is not a single resident for a hundred miles, or a large group of homeless people, except for a slightly larger town, there are almost no people.
At this time, the supply of food and grass for the army was even more difficult, and under the hunger and cold, the soldiers were inevitably looted.
At the beginning, the two also tearfully killed some looting officers and soldiers, and finally they couldn't stop, and there were many people who secretly went out of the camp to loot grain and rice.
Cao Bianjiao sighed: "I really don't know how the Marquis of Yongning marched thousands of miles when he didn't loot back then. ”
At this time, the high spirits at the beginning of the expedition were gone, and what surrounded the hearts of the two was a blank idea of the future.
……
In the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Shengjing.
Emperor Dolgon of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, proudly touched the emperor's throne on the Chongzheng Palace, and after thousands of battles, this seat finally fell into his own hands.
In his heart, the emperor's throne should have been his own, and Emperor Taizu intended to pass the seat to himself, but he didn't want to snatch it away from Huang Taiji, but he turned around, and it didn't return to his own hands? At the thought of this, Dorgon laughed contentedly.
Different from the historical situation, at this time, the two white flags are strong, Hauge is even more dead, and Fulin, a little boy of a few years old, of course, cannot compete with Dolgon.
People are panicked, and at a critical juncture, what the Manchurians need is a ruthless character like Dolgon, not a little ass like Fu Lin, who can still eat milk.
Daishan, Zilharang and other ministers also did not want civil strife in the Qing Dynasty, so they all compromised with Dolgon.
Coupled with the support of the Mongols, the ministers of the Erhuang Banner were even more incapable of resisting Dolgon's power, so after the death of Huang Taiji, there was no dispute, and the emperor's throne fell into the hands of Dolgon.
Of course, all parties expressed support for themselves, and the call for unity in the Qing Dynasty was very strong, so Dolgon also made a series of compromises in order to quickly ascend the throne.
Continuing to use the name of the Great Qing Dynasty is one, treating Fulin well is two, and not purging much after ascending the throne is three, and the current situation seems to be effective, and the domestic situation in the Great Qing Dynasty has been quickly stabilized.
Of course, there was still a scorching tatter situation left for Dorgon.
Liaodong was defeated, and the Manchurian soldiers alone killed more than 10,000 people.
In addition, many Mongolian soldiers were killed and wounded, and the Han Eight Banners were almost finished.
The Mongolian tribes of the outer domain, many tribes, were also robbed by Wang Dou, or back and forth twice, everywhere was bare, if there was no relief from the Qing Dynasty, many surviving tribes, a snowstorm, may disappear in the grassland permanently.
Not to mention, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Mongolian tribes of the outer domains, the reason why they defected to the Qing State was not to take advantage of the situation? At present, it is inevitable that some Mongolians will leave Germany.
More importantly, after Huang Taiji's painstaking management, the Qing Kingdom was already faintly surrounded by the Ming Dynasty.
At present, this kind of encirclement, not surprisingly, has broken holes everywhere, and there is nothing to be done. (To be continued.) )
