The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 526 makes sense
Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, all the infantry of the Ming army arrived in Yizhou.

Then all the infantry rode horses and divided into groups to search for the Mongolian herdsmen.

For the next three days, Ding Yi's soldiers and horses went around arresting people. The Qing soldiers and Mongols could either swim, wade across the river, or flee to North Korea. All those who stayed near Yizhou were arrested in batches.

Many Mongolians abandoned everything and directly tried to escape the Yalu River.

By August 8, the captors escorted the captives back to Yizhou one after another.

After half a day's statistics, plus the results of the previous few days, the Ming army won a complete victory, and the capture was worthless.

During this campaign in Yizhou, a total of 632 Jurchen slaves and more than 28900 Mongols were captured alive (including about 6000 soldiers).

He obtained 11900 good war horses (including juvenile ponies), more than 4500 cattle, more than 135800 sheep, more than 1 other livestock and poultry, more than 3000 vehicles of various types, 8500 taels of gold, more than 66 taels of silver, and various More than 3000 vehicles were filled with grain and food.

Of course, Ding Yi paid a lot.

There were more than 1 people in the army, with more than 700 casualties, of which nearly [-] were killed in battle, which was also the most casualties in his previous battles.

Most of them were heavy casualties caused by too dense formation when being bombarded by the Qing soldiers, and there were also casualties caused by the battle with the Qing cavalry.

Fortunately, the artillery fire in this era is relatively slow, and Ding Yi's artillery counterattacks are effective, otherwise the casualties may be even more serious.

But this time, Ding Yi is also on guard. In future field battles with the Qing soldiers, he must also prevent the opponent from ambushing with artillery and attacking his infantry camp.

But it’s not bad to fight like this. In the battle of Dalinghe, Huang Taiji ambushed forty artillery pieces. More than 4 Ming troops including Wu Xiang and Song Wei were blasted away. The entire army was destroyed. Among them, they surrendered. More than 3, only more than 30 ran back.

Ding Yi's soldiers and horses faced the bombardment, the formation was chaotic but not scattered, and they also withstood the attacks of Qing cavalry from all directions. It was quite good to be able to fight like this.

Of course, this is also due to the luck that Oboi has few cannons. If Oboi has forty cannons, it is also very dangerous.

After the war, Ding Yi transported all the dozen or so Hongyi cannons he had seized (several were in Yizhou, but not brought to the battlefield) to the beach and took them away on a ship.

Originally, they wanted the captives to demolish Yizhou City, and then set fire to everything in the city.

But Ding Yi thought about it, and felt that it was useful to keep Yizhou City, so he didn't move.

He took tens of thousands of captives back along the original road. When they arrived at Tieshan, Ding Yi would divide the captives into three parts. Some of them would stay on the front line of Tieshan to hoard fields and build fortresses. member.

About [-]% of them will be shipped to Dayuan in batches.

But before batching, Ding Yi will screen and clear.

After the Manchu Qing conquered the various tribes of Mongolia, they usually married first. The Baylor nobles in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, including Huang Taiji and Lao Nu, all married with the upper class of Mongolia in large numbers. Some, such as the Chahar tribe, were conquered. His son Ezhe was taken hostage in Shengjing, and then he married Lin Danhan's eldest wife Borzigitna Muzhong.

Therefore, marriage and hostages are routines used by the Manchus.

But Ding Yi can't do that.

First of all, the Mongols have already married many nobles with the Manchus. Ding Yi's subordinates choose to marry them again, which is tantamount to making the Mongols flatter both sides and stepping on two boats.

After Huang Taiji conquered the various tribes of Mongolia, he basically let the tribes guard their original grasslands. Every time they wanted to go to war, they sent troops together. Sometimes they had to wait for several days for the Mongols to send troops to gather.

Only the Chahar Department moved to Uiju, North Korea because they had no territory.

First of all, Ding Yi had no place for them to guard, and the grasslands were all in the hands of Huang Taiji.

I also don't want to call up the Mongols every time we fight, and wait for them to gather.

He likes to be a little cleaner, a little more direct.

What Huang Taiji wanted was an ally, but what Ding Yi wanted was an obedient slave.

On August [-], nearly [-] Mongolian tribes (mainly the Chahar tribe) had all arrived near Tieshan and were preparing to take turns boarding boats to Phi Island.

At this time, under the guardianship of Ding Yi's soldiers and horses, the Mongolian ministries were first separated into two waves.

One of the waves is the Taiji lords and nobles from various Mongolian ministries, and the other wave is middle and high-level personnel.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian ministries still maintained the lordship system of the feudal society, but the feudal lord class and the slave class have changed during this period.

From Genghis Khan to Dayan Khan (Porjijin Batumengke, the 32nd Khan of Mongolia, he can be regarded as the last unified Khan, the originator of Chahar), the clan lord and great Khan with the same surname Heroes and lords with different surnames of the Khan coexisted. After Dayan Khan abolished Said (that is, the lords of heroes with different surnames of the Great Khan> territory, the lords of heroes with different surnames of the Great Khan lost their privileges and became "Albatu" of the lords of the same surname of the Great Khan.

After consolidating the ruling power, Dayan Khan began to entrust the princes, and established [-] households on the left and right wings—the [-] households on the left wing were ten thousand households from the Chahar tribe, ten thousand households from the Wuliangha tribe, and ten thousand households from the Khalkha tribe; The [-] households on the right wing are Wanhu from the Ordos Department, Wanhu from the Tumote Department, and Wanhu from the Yongxiebu Department (Hala Shen, Asut).The [-] households on the left wing are under the direct jurisdiction of Borjijin Batumengke himself, and the Great Khan is stationed in the ten thousand households of the Chahar Department; Wanhu in the Ordos Department.These measures of Dayan Khan, the origin of the formation of the various tribes of Mongolia in later generations, and the re-delineation of the administrative territory of the various tribes of Mongolia, etc., all have far-reaching influences. It formed the various Mongolian tribes in Monan, Mobei, and Moxi. This pattern It has been maintained until the end of Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the lord class, the lower class of herdsmen gradually differentiated into three classes: the upper class, the middle class, and the lower class. They are commonly called Albatus.

The upper-class households are called "Shayinhong" (including lords with different surnames who have lost their privileges). Economically exploiting the impoverished Albatus, some of them became the subordinates of the Taiji lord (the clan lord with the same surname as the Great Khan), and were called "Erheti" (officials). , called "Darhati" (those who were exempted from taxes).

The middle-level households are called "Dumo Dahong". They have enough self-sufficient livestock (ranging from hundreds to thousands of heads), and they are the main objects of expropriation by feudal lords.

The lower-class households are called "Adagahong". They have only a few livestock or no livestock, live in poverty, and are unable to pay for their property. They are the main objects of labor expropriation by feudal lords.This group of people has the largest number and is the main person in charge of social production. Together with the middle-class households, they support the entire Mongolian society with their own labor.

Mongolian feudal lords at all levels constitute the feudal ruling class.Khan and Jinong, at the top of the ruling class.Under Khan and Jinong, there were Hong Taiji, Taiji, Tabu Nang, etc., who were the lords of Ulus and Otok.Feudal lords have the right to independently handle all military, administrative, judicial and other affairs in the territory, and have the power to levy taxes and conscripts on the subordinates.However, the small lord maintains layers of accompanying relationships with the big lord and the big lord with the Khan.This kind of accompanying relationship is reflected in their "Alba" (taxes) obligations to their superior feudal lords. Alba's obligations include: participating in military, administrative, and judicial meetings held by the superior feudal lords, being called to lead troops, Pay tribute to livestock and other property.

To put it simply, the low-level households of the Mongolian tribes are actually similar to the low-level military households and low-level sergeants of the Ming Dynasty. The low-level households not only have to serve as soldiers, pay tribute to livestock, help the lord to herd cattle and sheep, but also pay taxes.

No, it should be worse than the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not pay taxes anyway, and they were paid. Although there were deductions, at least they could guarantee a bite to eat.

The lower-class households of the Mongolian tribes have no salary, and they have to pay taxes.

Of course, when they win a battle, they will be rewarded and a small amount of spoils will be distributed. This is also the main reason why their ministries are willing to come out to help the Manchus fight.

In Ding Yi's view, this is a great injustice and disadvantage, but it is rare to see the Mongols rebelling against the lord.

Because for a long time, the herdsmen were used to this backward lord system, and they were also used to being exploited and oppressed.

That being the case, Ding Yi of course wants them to change their way of life and open the door to the new world for them.

That night, several tents and yurts were temporarily set up by herdsmen in the south of Iron Mountain.

The first is small, the second is medium, and the third is large.

Ding Yi first summoned all the Taiji, Tabunang and other lords from the Chaha tribe and other tribes in the smallest yurt.

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these people were also officials like Du Tong and Zhang Jing, who were powerful and powerful, and there were also a large number of shepherds who were enslaved by them, paid tribute to them, and followed their orders.

"Greetings to the respected General Ding of the Ming Dynasty." More than a dozen lord-level Mongolian nobles at the scene showed their respect to Ding Yi with the Mongolian pilgrimage etiquette.

They admire the strong, not to mention that people have to bow their heads now that they are under the eaves.

Ding Yi laughed and waved his hands: "Everyone get up."

"I'm Taiji from the Echala Department—" A Taiji took the lead and introduced himself to Ding Yi.

"Back off." Chen Yang sternly said, "Did your lord let you speak?"

Taiji blushed suddenly, ashamed and angry.

Even in Shengjing, it was impossible for Huang Taiji to speak to them in such a tone. Their Mongolian lords are also the strength that Huang Taiji needs to rely on.

Damn Mingren, he doesn't understand the power of our high-ranking Tai Ji among the shepherds at all, he will definitely beg me, this Tai Ji didn't make a sound, stepped back half a step, and stared at Chen Yang unconvinced.

Ding Yi glanced at them lightly at this time, and said loudly: "You have all been lords for many years, and you are used to being superior and pampered."

"A person is used to enjoying life, and it is too difficult for you to come out to fight. It is not your fault that you lost, it is the fault of Jurchen Jiannu."

Ding Yi's first sentence seemed to make sense, and it aroused the sympathy of the Taiwan Kyrgyzstans. They all nodded in agreement. General Ding is benevolent, it's not that we want to beat you, we were also forced.
