The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 529
On August 8000, Ding Yi reached an agreement with the Mongolian upstarts to divide more than [-] Mongolian households into three groups, and the strongest [-] households were to be sent to the officials for military service.

More than 3000 households were sent to Jeju Island, and more than 1000 households built forts and farmland near Iron Mountain.

Each has a new Taiji and upper-class households and middle-class households.

Fort Chiefs are appointed by the Taijis. Fort Chiefs and above are appointed by Ding Yi. They are assessed every three years. Those who perform well will be promoted to a higher level, and those who perform poorly will be replaced.

All those above the fort chief will be exempted from tax by another [-]%, so as to encourage them to come out and become Ding Yi's officials.

Some Mongolian upstarts hesitated, fearing that most Mongolian herdsmen would not accept it.

After all, this era attaches great importance to tradition and blood.

Ding Yi smiled and said, "Maybe there will be doubts, hesitation, and unwillingness in the first year and the second year."

"But under the guns and knives and arrows, the voice of doubt will gradually disappear, and with enough food and inexhaustible sugar and salt, it will take less than three years. No one will care about the so-called blood and tradition. When I said you are Taiji, you are Taiji."

Ding Yi believes that within three years, many skeptical and hesitant herdsmen will think about how to become middle-class and upper-class households, because this is the nature of all human beings.

After Ding Yi's actions, many former ordinary herdsmen in various Mongolian tribes were promoted to nobles.

The family members of the former nobles were all relegated to ordinary herdsmen. For example, Tulu married a woman from the former tribe of Taiji, which made him even more proud.

Many people turned into masters overnight, and the former masters' wives and children could only survive by becoming their own tenants.

Although some herdsmen did not become nobles, they were very happy to see the noble masters who used to be high above become ordinary herdsmen.

Move forward in time by a month or two.

Because it was easy to enter the customs the first two times, and Ding Yi, a strong general of the Ming army in Lushun, was stationed.

When Huang Taiji entered the customs for the third time, he did not personally lead the troops, but let Azig be the commander. At the same time, he asked Aobai to attack Yizhou and drive a nail in front of Ding Yi. At the same time, he made preparations for the second entry. Prepare.

Huang Taiji, who sent troops to Yizhou, also wanted to attract Ding Yi's troops and prevent Ding Yi from entering the Wei capital, but he did not expect that Ding Yi did not enter the Wei capital, but he actually defeated his Yizhou.

Huang Taiji clearly prevented Oboi from defending himself, but he never expected that Oboi, a good general whom he trusted, would not obey the command and attack without authorization. Although Ding Yi was almost defeated, he was still defeated in the end. Nearly [-] Mongolian tribes were killed, and his vitality was severely injured again.

At the end of June, the Qing army divided into three groups and rushed to northern Hebei, entering Dushikou. Eight days later, they joined forces in Yanqing County, Beijing. They defeated the Ming army seven times in a row and captured 6 people and animals.

On July 7, the entire city of Beijing was under martial law. The Qing army entered Juyongguan through Yanqing without any hindrance, and attacked Changping first.

The Qing army forced the Xizhimen in Beijing again. Emperor Chongzhen was shocked and ordered the ministers of civil and military affairs to guard the capital.

However, Chongzhen finally understood what it means to suffer the consequences of oneself.

When Qing soldiers entered the pass for the first time, he convened reinforcements from various towns. Among them, Man Gui and Zhao led the teachings to die in battle, and the commander-in-chief Hei Yunlong and Ma Dengyun surrendered successively.

He also chopped Yuan Chonghuan off by the way.

So this time, the towns basically stood still, and no commander-in-chief listened to Emperor Chongzhen. On the contrary, Ding Yi, who was not optimistic about Chongzhen, replied, obeyed the imperial order, and attacked Gaizhou, Zhenjiang, and Yizhou. (Although Ding Yi did not actually attack Zhenjiang, the Qing soldiers in Zhenjiang did escape.)
When Chongzhen heard the news, his expression was complicated, and he didn't know what it was like.

And this time Chongzhen did something that made the towns commanders and Ming sergeants angry.

He let the eunuch who doesn't understand the military supervise the soldiers, and the powers are different, and it is difficult for civil and military generals to play their roles. Henan Dao Yushi Jin Guangchen impeached the Minister of the Ministry of War, Qiu Weizhen, to reward the eunuch. Unexpectedly, Chongzhen angrily reprimanded Jin Guangchen in the hall: "Qiu Weizhen As soon as you arrived in Tongzhou, you used the topic of impeachment and framed, and Jin Yiwei stripped off his official uniform and went to prison."

It can be seen how stupid he was at that time.

It seemed that even the heavens couldn't stand it. At that time, there was a strong wind outside, thunder roared, and suddenly a flash of lightning passed by the gate of the main hall, which frightened Chongzhen, thinking that he had offended Tianwei.

He immediately slapped himself in the face, and immediately released Jin Guangchen, waiting for another deliberation.

The so-called Jun has no jokes, he first ordered the arrest, and then released, without even showing any shame.

At this time, the Qing army had no intention of attacking the capital. According to Huang Taiji's policy, they continued to plunder around the capital, consuming the strength of the Ming army, entering Dingxing, descending to Fangshan, fighting Zhuozhou, attacking Gu'an, conquering Wen'an, breaking Baodi, and killing the magistrate Zhao Guoding.

Falling into Shunyi again, the magistrate Shangguan committed suicide.

The Qing army went to Huairou, occupied Hexi Wu, stationed troops in Miyun and Pinggu, and within a month, "ravaged all over the country", and Dingxing County was besieged. The retired Shaoqing Lu Shanji of Guanglu Temple and Xue Yi'e, the prefect, defended the city. When Po was captured, the Qing soldiers slashed at him three times and shot an arrow at him. He died immediately.

Azig reported to Huang Taiji that a total of 12 cities were conquered, 56 battles were won, and 17 people and animals were captured.

On August 8, the Qing army began to retreat. Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, learned about it, and led his army out of Beijing, followed the Qing army, but did not dare to launch an attack.

On September 9, the Qing army took 1 livestock and a large amount of supplies they had captured to the cold mouth calmly. The history books say that "Ju Yan decorated the ride and returned home with music."

They also chopped down wood, wrote "all officials are free to send" and threw it on the roadside, mocking the Ming Dynasty officials.

With a large number of people, animals and property, the Qing soldiers were mighty, and it took four days to get out of the pass.

It is common sense that when retreating, elite soldiers should be at the back. Azig, an idiot, put his luggage behind and ignored it. Fortunately, the Ming army was timid and afraid of being caught in a trap, and watched the Qing army return with a full load.

After Huang Taiji learned about it, he severely reprimanded Azig who was arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

After the Qing army left the customs, Zhang Fengyi pretended to report to Chongzhen: "Slash the enemy three levels."Officials wrote letters to impeach him one after another. Zhang Fengyi knew that he would suffer a serious crime, and died in the barracks after serving big jute. The Ming court's dismissal order was sent later.

The Qing soldiers entered the customs for the third time and plundered 18 people and animals, and countless property.

The prestige of the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen fell to freezing point, and the face of the Ming Dynasty was beaten to pieces by the Qing soldiers.

Especially when Azig left at the end, he put the baggage at the back and wrote that all officials were exempt from sending it, which really humiliated Daming.

Moreover, in the original history, the vicinity of the capital of the Ming Dynasty did not know about it, and the officials in the capital who knew it did not dare to say it.

But not long after this war, news of this spread in the capital, and spread everywhere, and soon the people in the entire capital knew the shame of Daming.

The people scolded and hated the incompetence of the court.

At the same time that the Qing soldiers returned in a big victory, Ding Yi took down the Chahar tribe and plundered more than 3 people and tens of thousands of livestock in the Qing state.

Ding Yi's reputation in Dongjiang Town could not be increased.

After the war, Ding Yi reported victory, broke Yizhou, Zhenjiang, and defeated Gaizhou. Three thousand people were killed or injured in Dongjiang Town, four thousand Qing soldiers were killed, three hundred slaves were captured alive, and they were escorted to the capital.

This is the first time that Ding Yi has dedicated a Jurchen, and the ruling and opposition parties are moved.

But Chongzhen's first thought at that time was not to send it over.

The faces of his Chongzhen and Daming have been smashed by the Qing soldiers, but you, Ding Yi, have won many battles? Can you still capture Jiannu alive?
But the courtiers were all clamoring to offer up prisoners to avenge the captured Ming people, so they agreed with Ding Yi to escort the surrendered soldiers.

So one day.

In a tea house in Beijing.

There is a storyteller who is telling a story.

"That Ding Yi's subordinates all blocked ten with one, and they were very mighty. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, and the ambush came out everywhere. The Tartars were crying and howling, and fled in all directions—"

Everyone listened with gusto, and some people started to complain about it from time to time.

When the storyteller finished speaking, everyone applauded.

The storyteller took a sip of his tea with a proud expression on his face.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd murmured: "You made Ding Yi's talk so extravagant, but I heard that this Ding Yi, like Mao Wenlong, is rebellious and self-respecting, and the court has repeatedly transferred him to leave the station, but he doesn't listen. , isn’t this a traitor?”

There was a sudden silence all around, and many people looked at the person who spoke.

Some people recognized this man as a drunkard nearby, who spends his days doing nothing but drinking and eating everywhere.

After a while, someone in the crowd shouted: "You know what, the imperial court promoted Ding Yi's subordinates to be the chief soldier, just because he was afraid that he would be self-respecting."

"But the imperial court's actions will only make people feel alienated, and will make the generals below feel alienated."

"With Yuan Chonghuan's lessons learned from the past, who would dare to leave the camp without authorization."

Immediately someone in the crowd shouted again: "Zu Dashou didn't listen to the summons, so he is also considered a traitor?"

"The current commanding general, whoever dares to leave the station, is not afraid of being caught by Jin Yiwei."

"Ding Yi has won many battles and victories, and I am afraid that his achievements are overwhelming."

"If Ding Yi is used to enter the guard this time, how can Jiannu be able to wreak havoc in Gyeonggi?"

"It's just that Daming's other generals are incompetent, and Ding Yi is too strong."

"Your Majesty doesn't use it, and it doesn't matter if you don't need it."

"Since ancient times, there has never been a good end for those who have made great achievements. I think he will be captured and hacked like Yuan in the future."

"Don't care about state affairs, don't care about state affairs." The storyteller said to the surrounding with a bitter face.

Suddenly, someone called out: "Jin Yiwei is here."

There was a great chaos at the scene, and everyone fled in all directions.

So soon there were rumors in Beijing that Ding Yi had won many battles and won many battles.

There were also rumors that the imperial court was immoral, and meritorious ministers were not rewarded. No wonder the Qing soldiers were rampant and no one dared to fight.

Only the common people are the most unlucky, and their end is bleak.

Historically, Yuan Chonghuan was taken to the execution ground. It is said that the common people in the capital wanted to eat his meat, which proves that the propaganda work of the Ming Dynasty was very good.

Now Ding Yi's propaganda work is also doing quite well. Over the past few years, he has built a landscape of human heads with his successive victories. He was a good general of the Ming Dynasty, but because of his great achievements, he was not allowed to be reused by the emperor.
