Chapter 45: Face Saint
Huang Taiji is here! The Qing soldiers strengthened their vigilance. The 460,000 looted people can only wait for fate to pronounce on them.
Huang Taiji stood on a high place, looking around at the 460,000 people, he opened his arms and shouted: "I welcome you to join the Qing Dynasty!" Your Ming Emperor can't even protect his own people! What kind of emperor is he? And my Qing Dynasty is different, as long as I am a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, I will protect him! Never let him be hurt in the slightest! As long as you are a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, you only need to remember one thing, the Qing Dynasty will always be your backer, and no one can bully you! ”
The last sentence of Huang Taiji was roared proudly! I have to admit that Huang Taiji is a terrible madman!
People don't buy it, but there is no way, of course, Huang Taiji knows this, he will slowly make 460,000 people submit, just like the Han people in Liaodong.
Huang Taiji shouted: "Since the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is so useless, what are you doing as his people!" I will treat you as my people! And I tell you that I want to build a huge empire, a huge empire of Manchus, Han Chinese, Mongolians, Tibetans, and so on! You will be proud of your new empire! ”
"Not having enough food and clothing, this will never happen in the empire I founded! If the Manchus and Hans no longer fight each other, the only way to do this is to form a unified empire and eliminate the disputes and chasms between the Manchus and Hans! So I must destroy the Ming Kingdom! Sooner or later, this world will be cleared by me! You will live happily and happily under my rule than the Ming Dynasty! You must firmly believe that I will bring you a life of peace and contentment, and I am the true son of heaven! Only I can help the world and the people! ”
As soon as Huang Taiji finished saying this, he immediately asked the people of the second wing of the Han Dynasty to talk to the captives, so as to influence the more than 460,000 captured people ideologically, so that more than 460,000 people could recognize the facts and become obedient people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
However, I have to admit this, as long as there are talented people, Huang Taiji will be eclectic to appoint, and skilled craftsmen, Huang Taiji also gives them generous treatment, so that skilled craftsmen can dedicate their strength.
In terms of employing people, Huang Taiji has done a very good job, he can make people make the best use of their talents, even if they are just kidnapped, he will let the captives exert their strength.
Moreover, Huang Taiji made the Jurchens in Liaodong originally live a nomadic life, and now they are all settled. He attached great importance to agriculture and handicrafts, and like the Han state, he was based on agriculture, which he mainly wanted to strengthen his military power.
For example, the manufacture of weapons, spears, spears, broadswords, etc., red-coated cannons, firearms, and gunpowder is also ensured by the development of manual skills. At the end of the year, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had more firearms, such as red-coated cannons, etc., than the Ming Dynasty, and when the Ming Dynasty lost its advantage in firearms, it was like a child, allowing the Manchus to wreak havoc.
Handicrafts are not practiced by the Manchurians, but the Han people, especially the Han people who were taken captive from the Central Plains, many of whom were originally engaged in this field, can play an extremely effective role. Moreover, Huang Taiji also let the Manchus learn handicrafts from the Han people.
** Hachi was still a slave when he was founded in Jin, but with the efforts of Huang Taiji, it was transformed from slavery to feudalism in a short period of time, which has to be said to be a big leap forward. Huang Taiji's political talent is indeed a masterpiece, this is a fact that cannot be erased.
Now that a lot of Han people have been captured, many of them skilled craftsmen, and the strength of the Qing will be greatly enhanced. But Huang Taiji is still extremely worried, because he doesn't want Zhang Biwu to be reused, once Zhang Biwu is reused, it is equivalent to creating a roadblock for the Qing to enter the Central Plains.
So he thought of the Ming eunuch who was connected with him, and it seemed that it was time to use it, and he wanted to kill Zhang Biwu. Not only that, but he also summoned Kong Youde privately, and he secretly instructed Kong Youde to make plans.
Kong Youde immediately nodded, he understood that he would immediately go and inform the chess pieces that had been ambushed in the territory of Daming earlier, and this chess piece would kill Zhang Biwu!
Huang Taiji saw that he had set up a seamless plan, and he sat back and waited for the news of Zhang Biwu's killing to come......
At this time, the news of Zhang Biwu's killing of Yue Tuo had already spread throughout the north, and many people regarded Zhang Biwu as a superhero. There are many versions of the story of Zhang Biwu and his more than 700 dead soldiers bravely entering the enemy camp alone, all of which praise heroes.
After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, and the Ming army could not resist for half a year, and the Ming army often collapsed without a fight, and there was no decent victory at all. And Zhang Biwu's raid on Jinan killed Aixinjue Luo's Yue Tuo and Ma Zhan, which can be said to have given great encouragement to the Ming Dynasty, and made the Ming people proud.
In addition, Zhang Biwu captured Wen Tiren before, which made Zhang Biwu's reputation even more sufficient, and with the addition of killing Yue Tuo, people wanted to praise him even more. Zhang Biwu's prestige is even higher.
At this time, Zhang Biwu had already returned to Yao Dongzhao, and he didn't dare to easily contact Lu Xiangsheng too much, because Lu Xiangsheng was nominally dead. He still didn't know what the attitude of the Lu Dao Imperial Court was towards Lu Xiangsheng.
If it is clear that Lu Xiangsheng is not dead, maybe it will hurt Lu Xiangsheng. After all, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian are still tracking down Lu Xiangsheng's whereabouts to confirm whether Lu Xiangsheng is dead! Even if Lu Xiangyong's corpse is pretended, it can't reassure Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian!
What Zhang Biwu didn't expect was that a eunuch would come to announce the decree. Zhang Biwu hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and the emperor actually wanted to summon Zhang Biwu.
Zhang Biwu couldn't help but be stunned, why did the emperor want to summon him? Is it a blessing or a curse? Zhang Biwu thought of the time when he and Lu Xiangsheng went to face the saint before, Cao Huachun had reminded him, and said that his every move was clear to Dongchang. The more Zhang Biwu thought about this, the more frightened he became, but there was no way, the emperor had to summon him.
Zhang Biwu also wanted to find out what Chongzhen thought of Lu Xiangsheng who was killed, and if possible, Zhang Biwu wanted to avenge Lu Xiangsheng's grievances.
Zhang Biwu had no choice but to enter Beijing with the eunuch who came to announce the decree, Huang Qi was not at ease, and said that he would also enter Beijing with Zhang Biwu, whether it was a blessing or a curse, he would have to carry it with Zhang Biwu.
Zhang Biwu was very grateful to Huang Qi for this, and the eunuch didn't care about one more person entering Beijing, so he let Zhang Biwu and Huang Qi enter Beijing together.
What Zhang Biwu didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived in the capital, someone came to him, and this person was not anyone, it was Gao Qiqian.
Gao Qiqian, the smiling tiger, warned Zhang Biwu and asked Zhang Biwu not to talk nonsense, if Zhang Biwu spoke nonsense, he would have to bear the consequences. Gao Qiqian also hinted that as long as Zhang Biwu does what he says, then Gao Qiqian will make Zhang Biwu have a long future.
When Zhang Biwu heard this, he first smiled bitterly, and then he hugged his fists and saluted Gao Qiqian, but he didn't know whether to listen to Gao Qiqian or not.
Gao Qi couldn't figure it out, and it happened that Wang Chengen came in to spread the holy decree and announce Zhang Biwu to enter. Zhang Biwu was dressed up, and he went in with an uneasy heart.
After saluting, Chongzhen asked Zhang Biwu to raise his head, Zhang Biwu raised his head, he saw Chongzhen was full of sadness, and he was very thin sitting on the dragon chair. It seems that he is so thin because of his long-term hard work.
"Zhang Biwu!" The sound was deep. Zhang Biwu hurriedly leaned over: "The minister is here!" Chongzhen said: "Aiqing is flat!" "Zhang Biwu got up.
Chongzhen didn't speak, he looked at Zhang Biwu, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Aiqing looks like a literati, but she can defeat the Qing army repeatedly!" Especially in the Battle of Jinan, less than a thousand warriors beheaded the enemy general Yue Tuo! I'm so grateful! It would be great if all my Ming soldiers were like you! ”
Chongzhen looked at Zhang Biwu with a smile on his face, he admired Zhang Biwu very much, and Chongzhen's eyes were full of softness.
Zhang Biwu replied: "Your Majesty, I am here to avenge our soldiers in Jiazhuang!" If the men and horses of the High Prison Army could come, Jia Zhuang would not be defeated! We will be able to turn defeat into victory and defeat the Qing army! The Qing army will not break Jinan and capture the prince! ”
Gao Qiqian's face changed greatly, didn't he directly say that Lu Xiangsheng's defeat and the invincibility of the Qing army were all related to his Gao Qiqian's cowardice? Gao Qiqian couldn't help glaring at Zhang Biwu fiercely. He looked at Chongzhen's face again, it was so dangerous! He knew that Chongzhen would not cure him.
When Zhang Biwu said this, Chongzhen was unhappy, because it was his intention to appoint Gao Qiqian, and if Gao Qiqian was guilty, Chongzhen, who reused Gao Qiqian, was also responsible. In that case, he was responsible for Lu Xiangsheng's defeat, Jinan Mansion fell, and he had all the responsibility for the prince's capture.
Emperor Chongzhen is a person who wants to save face, and he naturally doesn't want to take on the responsibility of shame.
So Chongzhen said, "Okay! I know it! Aiqing doesn't need to say it anymore! I know that Lu Xiangsheng has guaranteed you to be the garrison of Lingbao, Lu's family, and Ruxiang, so you are grateful to Lu Xiangsheng! Alas! It's a pity, Lu Xiangsheng was too disappointing at the last moment! ”
Chongzhen said this just to make Zhang Biwu shut up, he couldn't say any more, everything should be based on the face of the monarch's father.
Yang Sichang, who was well aware of Chongzhen's character, of course, stood up and spoke, so as to please the emperor: "Yes! If Lu Xiangsheng could obey the emperor's strategy, he would not be defeated by Jiazhuang today! Nor will the Qing army go south! Lu Xiangsheng is responsible! However, Lu Xiangsheng can die to serve the country, which is also his advantage! When people die, forget everything! ”
Zhang Biwu saw that the situation was like this, what else could he do? Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to say that Lu Xiangsheng was not dead, but now that he saw Chongzhen like this, he was afraid that if he said that Lu Xiangsheng was not dead, Lu Xiangsheng would have a misfortune.
