Chapter 276: Shaving Order

***

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty first entered Beijing, due to the undecided world, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were allowed to wear Ming Dynasty costumes when they went to the court, but the Manchu and Han ministers each stood in one shift.

There is a subordinate Sun Zhiqi who is the only one to win the favor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he has the heart to "show his relatives by showing differences". One day, when he went to court, he became "refreshed", not only shaved his hair and kept braids, but also changed to wear the clothes of Manchu officials.

When the ministers walked into the court to stand on duty, he walked into the ranks of the Manchu ministers very kindly. The Manchu ministers all claim to be superior, how can they tolerate their subordinate Hanchen Sun Zhiqi to be in the same class as him? You pushed me and pulled him out of the class.

Sun Zhiqi was bored with himself, and walked back to the Han class in a huff, Han Chen hated him for being too pleasing to the people, one next to the other did not let go, and did not let him enter the class.

Sun Zhiqi, who was hovering between the Manchu and Han ministers, could not advance or retreat, and was embarrassed.

In a fit of rage, he appealed to Emperor Shunzhi, saying that the Han people were allowed to preserve their own costumes, which "is bixia from China, not China from bixia." ”

The regent Dolgon was so impressed by the recital that he ordered the world to shave his hair and make it easier to wear.

I don't know if Sun Zhiji's matter is true or not, but it is a fact that there was a shaving order in the early morning of Manchu. It was only at the beginning of the entry that the world was undecided, and the shaving order was strongly resisted by the Han people, so Dolgon temporarily gave up.

After receiving the capture of Nanjing by Duoduo, Dolgon thought that the overall situation had been decided, and did not hesitate to issue a shaving order again: all civil, military, military and civilians everywhere should be ordered to shave their hair, and those who obey it are the people of our country, and those who hesitate will be punished with serious crimes.

This time, the shaving order was issued, and the people still strongly resisted, but Dolgon had made up his mind this time, and he kept his head without hair, and without hair at all.

After the order was issued, the officials grabbed those who did not shave their hair and went to the military gate, and they were beheaded from morning to court, and beheaded from night to night.

Under such brutal killings, the Chinese are in the middle of nowhere. It became fishy everywhere.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty hoped to shave their hair and change their clothes to attack and destroy the national spirit of the Han people, especially the upper classes. Establish the dominance of the Manchus and ensure that the Manchus are not assimilated by the Han Chinese.

This move has hurt the core of Chinese civilization, even if the Tartars raised their butcher knives, cut off their heads and rolled, and killed bloody, there were still countless Han people who rose up to resist.

Especially in the south, which had not yet been completely occupied by the Qing army, the Han people's resistance was in full swing.

Among them, Jiangyin County, the capital of Changzhou, had already been demoted, and Lin Zhiji of Mingzhi County was relieved of his post, and Fang Heng of Qingzhi County succeeded him, and the shaving order was issued. instantly made Jiangyin's feelings boil.

All living beings Xu Yong and others gathered in the Temple of Literature and made a joint oath in Minglun Hall: "The head can be broken, and the hair must not be shaved!" ”

At this time, the Changzhou government issued a strict order, and the document had the words "keep your hair without your head, and keep your head without your hair".

Fang Heng of Qingzhi County asked the scribe to record the text as a notice and post it, and when the scribe wrote this sentence, he was filled with righteous indignation, threw the pen on the ground and said: "Just die!" The word quickly spread throughout the city. It immediately provoked a strong backlash from the public.

Seeing that the people did not obey, Fang Heng secretly reported to the Changzhou Mansion and asked his boss to send troops to "kill more Shuwei".

This secret letter was found by the righteous people, so Fang Heng was captured and killed. Pushing the history of Chen Ming as the leader, with the banner of "Ming Zhongxing", he claimed that the righteous people of Jiangyin officially opposed the Qing Dynasty.

For example, in Jiangyin, there are many places where the shaving order has been reversed. Changpyeong and Samhae in Gyeonggi. As well as central Hebei, northern Jiangsu, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places, the anti-Qing struggle reappeared.

For example, the Yuyuan Army in western Shandong and the Qingzhou Rebel Army in eastern Shandong. The rebel army in the Luliang Mountains in western Shanxi, the rebel army in Huaiqing, Weihui and other places in Henan, and there were also many small-scale peasant armies in various parts of Hebei.

Among these rebel armies were Li Zicheng's old troops, which were scattered by the Qing army, and more were armed behind enemy lines with 200 people, including Dongfang Sheng, deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department, and Gan Nan, who were sent by Qin Mu long ago;

These armed forces, small or large, were flexible and mobile, and launched sabotage operations behind enemy lines in full swing, and for a time the anti-Qing struggle was surging.

At this time, Duoduo occupied Nanjing, and his subordinates, together with the surrendered green battalion soldiers, had reached more than 300,000, and were dividing their troops to attack the city and plunder the land, and kill the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Among them, Pai Belle Bolo led tens of thousands of armor to march to Hangzhou in the southeast, Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Changshu, Yixing and other cities have surrendered to the wind, and Boluo's troops are directed at Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In addition, he sent the third-class prince Tong Tulai and Gongshun Wang Kong Youde to lead an army of 100,000 to the west, break through the Huang Degong Department, and after seizing Wuhu, they continued to wave their troops to break Fanchang, Wuwei Prefecture, Ningguofu, Xuancheng, Nanling, Jianping, Tongling and other prefectures and counties.

The 100,000-strong army was mighty, covering the sun with banners, and the dust was out of the sky, pressing towards Chizhou, which was defended by Cui Feng, and most of the troops on the eastern front had been transferred by Qin Mu, and Meng Ke led the river to cross the river to intercept the gap between the southern foot of Dabie Mountain and the Yangtze River, preventing Azig and Wu Sangui from fleeing eastward.

This makes the eastern front very weak, Cui Feng's defense of Chizhou is only 8,000 troops, in the face of Tong Tulai and Kong Youde's 100,000 troops, the situation is extremely difficult, if Chizhou is broken, the Qing army can directly kill Jiujiang, but will form a two-level attack with Azig against the Qin army.

If there is no time to send troops back to help, Nanchang, which has an empty defense, may fall into the hands of the Qing army, and then the entire Jiangxi defense line will collapse, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Cui Feng was under the pressure of a mountain and worried, but he also knew what it would mean if he could completely annihilate Aji all the way, so he still gritted his teeth and held on, buying time for Qin Mu.

In order to strengthen the defense capability, he ordered the young and strong people in all prefectures and counties from Chizhou to Jiujiang to be organized, distributed weapons, and prepared to fight with the Qing army city by city, blocking layer by layer.

The Qing army was less than 50 miles away from Chizhou, and the city was already filled with a gloomy atmosphere of war, and there was a feeling that black clouds were pressing down on the city and wanted to destroy it.

At this time, Azig, who was furious after being injured, did not wait for Wu Sangui to arrive, and had already launched a decisive battle against Qin Mu's 20,000-strong army by the water.

Both sides have pressed all their forces up, and the sky is dark, and the blood is flowing.

Qin Mu even wore armor and held a sword, and personally led 4,000 cavalry to charge into battle, the black banner with the word "Qin" had been stained red with blood, tattered, and still fluttering tenaciously in the killing array.

The mountains and rivers have changed color, the earth has been broken, the horses have been exhausted, the voices have been hoarse, and the ground is covered with stumps and broken arms.

The white blade destroys the edge, the sea of clouds is red, and the endless tragic fight continues, as if this bloody storm never stops.

A wound was cut on the back of Qin Mu's hand, and blood was flowing out, but on this battlefield where the shadow of the knife was like a curtain, and you were alive and dead, there was no time to bandage you, and his movements were a little slow. It is possible to become a piece of meat under the horse's hooves, and you can only have a chance to survive by constantly swinging your sword and slashing and killing all the enemies who are close to you.

The Qin army was mostly infantry, under the fierce impact of the Tartar cavalry, the situation had become more and more unfavorable, one by one the plum blossom array was broken through, and a puff of blood was sprinkled into the earth, but because of Qin Mu's blood-stained banner rushed in front. Although the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, they still sacrificed their lives to fight desperately.

When the knife and gun are broken, they use their fists, and when their fists are cut off, they tear them with their teeth, and at this moment, everyone is red-eyed, and no one knows what fear is, and there is only one thought left in their hearts. Kill!

Shang Yi watched as one of Quan Shizuihou's comrades-in-arms also fell in front of him, and his head was trampled by the war horse, and all the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head in an instant, and roared like a beast: "I am your Tartar ancestor." Lao Tzu fought with you! ”

Shang Yi roared and rushed out towards the enemy's warhorse, his long hair flying, his eyes blood-red, and the enemy general on the horse pulled the reins. The war horse neighed and stood up, wanting to trample Shang Yi into a meat patty;

Shang Yigang rolled without regard to his body and rolled to the belly of the horse. The front hooves of the war horse stepped down heavily, and the splashed mud and sand shot people in pain, "Kill!" Shang Yi roared wildly, and the big knife cut through the thin belly of the war horse, and the war horse fell to the ground with a grief, pressing the Jia Lazhangjing on the horse to the ground;

Shang Yi was also pressed down on one foot, but despite the pain of a broken bone, he stabbed with his knife and stabbed the enemy general's throat fiercely. Burst! The broadsword was pulled out, and blood gushed like a fountain

Although the Qin army was at a disadvantage, the counterattack also caused heavy casualties to the Qing army, in this narrow "U" shaped area, more than 40,000 troops were killed together, the war horses almost lost the space for impact, and the corpses all over the ground made it even more difficult to move an inch.

Azig finally slowly calmed down, there are thousands of Han people, and there are only 100,000 Manchu soldiers, even if they exchange one for ten, the Manchu Qing can't afford to be injured, not to mention that the battle situation in front of him is anxious, although the Qin army has suffered more casualties, but under the hard work, the Qing army is not much better, this kind of life-for-life style of play makes Azig feel cold.

At this moment, a dull sound of horses' hooves was heard from the north, but seeing the wind sending smoke and dust, the sky was full of clouds, and with Azig's battlefield experience, he felt that at least tens of thousands of troops could raise such a large amount of smoke and dust.

If the Qin army had another 10,000 fresh troops, he was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out here, Azig did not dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the whining horn sounded like a wild ghost crying.

The Qing army retreated like a tide, but the red-eyed Qin army did not give up, even Qin Mu still led the remaining cavalry to chase and kill.

Azig gave the order to retreat, but at that time the two armies were fighting in a staggered manner, in this case, the retreat quickly turned into a rout, and the infantry could not catch up, but Qin Mu still had two or three thousand cavalry left, and pursued all the way out of ten miles, and the Qing army after the rout was cut down all over the field, and the number of deaths was almost one-third of the casualties in the first bloody battle.

When Azig learned that the so-called tens of thousands of troops in the north were only two or three hundred men and horses of the Red Lady, he was so angry that he vomited blood. According to the battle situation at that time, if he continued to fight, he would definitely be able to completely annihilate Qin Mu's 20,000 horses.

The problem is that the enemy situation was unclear at that time, and he was not allowed to think about it more, if he did not retreat in time, if it was really tens of thousands of Qin troops who were killed, it would be him Azig who would be wiped out.

In this battle, Azig suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, almost equal to the Qin army, and when the retreat turned into a rout, many people died in vain, which made him extremely unwilling, fighting on the plains, it turned out to be such a result, Azig was like being poured a mouthful of shit in public

Early the next morning, Wu Sangui's men and horses arrived, and the angry Azig immediately came back, and if Qin Mu's men and horses were not completely smashed, what face would Prince Ying have to go back to face the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty?
