The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 643 The Crime of Losing Land
In recent years, Qing soldiers and Ding Yi have fought to output shadows.

Seeing the Ming army coming, Dorgon also felt fear.

Because even if he knew that the Ming army was only five hundred, he might not want to fight any more.

The Ming army has a new force again, and the resistance will only become stronger.

The longer you fight, the worse it will be for them. It is better to retreat directly to save your strength.

Dorgon ran away happily, but left behind hundreds of thousands of Ming people and more than 2000 vehicles. When the soldiers and horses in Ding Yi arrived, they were all intercepted by Ding Yi.

This time, the Qing army was defeated by Ding Yi first, and then won a big victory in Jinan, but after half a year of busy work, [-]% of them were intercepted by Ding Yi.

Ding Yi was naturally impolite, and immediately arranged troops to send the more than 30 livestock and nearly one million taels of silver and more than 2000 carts of property to Dengzhou. As for the large number of people, one part was sent to the officials, and the other part was sent to Dengzhou. To Jeju.

This entry was almost a disastrous entry, and it was also the biggest loss since the Qing soldiers entered several times.

Dorgon entered Qingyun County, Tianjin from Binzhou, and probably knew that it would be bad to go back like this, and it was estimated that the Ding Yi Department of the Ming Army would not be able to catch up. With Ding Yi's virtue, he must protect the population and wealth.

So he boldly looted along the road, from Qingyun to Cangzhou, then to Hejian Prefecture, and then to Baoding.

The Qing soldiers went around in a big circle again and robbed these places again. The anger they received on Ding Yi was all on the other ministries of the Ming army.

This entry is longer than the original history.

It was probably at the beginning of April that I finally left.

When they left, they robbed more than 3 animals and more than 400 carts of belongings. At any rate, they did not return empty-handed.

When it was dark on February [-]st, Ding Yi arrived at Qingshuipo with nearly ten thousand cavalry.

The tragedy of the scene moved him.

Both Wang Weizhong and Xu Fuzuo were seriously injured and almost died at the scene.

Xu Fuzuo's three thousand soldiers and horses were almost wiped out, and he suddenly became a bare commander.

Many people at the scene shouted to chase the Qing soldiers.

Dan Ding Yi immediately shook his head in denial.

More than half of them are infantry, and it is not easy to get to the scene on horseback. If they go after the Qing soldiers, it will be bad if they are ambushed.

Moreover, his goal has been achieved. With a tragic sacrifice in this battle, coupled with the battle near the Qing soldiers Julu, he has intercepted several 10 livestock and millions of wealth.

There are more than 2000 large vehicles of various types.

The wealth of several prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty were all in the hands of Ding Yi.

The most urgent task is to dispose of the weapon of war and appease the wounded.

Not long after, Zhang Qidong, the chief executive of Qianqian, begged to see Ding Yi alone, and told what Kong Youde said.

Ding Yi was slightly overjoyed, Kong Youde finally decided to bet.

With the card of Kong Youde, there will be a chance to destroy the Qing Dynasty in one battle in the future.

Then it is completely unnecessary to chase the Qing soldiers now.

Yuan Youcai said again at this time: "At least half of the Lubi guns we collected were taken away by the Qing soldiers, and two of the 6-pound field guns were also taken away."

Ding Yi said calmly: "It's okay, we still have flintlock guns, and sometimes the Han army is strong, it may not be a bad thing."

Everyone thought it was true, and everyone thought that Master Ding meant that the Han army was strong, and the Manchus would be afraid.

This time the Qing soldiers entered the pass, returned from the northeast of Shandong to Tianjinwei, and crossed the canal east to return.On the ninth day of April, the Qing army left the Qingshan Pass and returned to Liaodong.

In this service, the Qing army entered the customs for seven months, penetrated 55 miles, captured one prefecture, three prefectures, 46 counties, and two passes; More than one million taels of silver.

The Ming Dynasty once again suffered heavy losses.

But most of the population and wealth ended up in Ding Yi's hands, and the Qing soldiers actually suffered heavy losses, which meant that they had been busy for more than half a year and did nothing for Ding Yi.

According to Ding Yi's subsequent statistics, a total of 41 people and animals were obtained, more than 2 taels of gold, 120 million taels of silver, and more than 2000 vehicles of various other materials.

After this battle, the majesty of the Ming Dynasty disappeared again, and Chongzhen's face was swollen by the Man Qing.

Of course he was eager to save face and settle accounts after the fall.

Eight days after Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle, the Ming court asked Sun Chuanting to serve as the Minister of War to replace Lu Xiangsheng in supervising the reinforcements, and at the same time recruited Hong Chengchou into the Wei capital.

But Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and horses fled dead, and Sun Chuanting claimed that the governor actually didn't have many soldiers and horses.

On January [-], Chongzhen ordered Sun Chuanting to be the governor of Baoding, responsible for security, Shandong, and Henan military affairs. At that time, the Qing soldiers had captured Jinan and looted everywhere in Shandong.

All the ministries of the Ming army stood still, only the soldiers of Wang Weizhong and Xu Fuzuo fought a bloody battle with the Qing soldiers.

When the Qing soldiers left the customs in early April, only Sun Chuanting of the Ming army insisted on the established defense strategy of not going out lightly, strictly defending, and waiting for opportunities to attack. He blocked the Qing soldiers in Dong'an, Wuqing and other places and achieved some small victories.

This was also because Dorgon was in a hurry to escape from Shandong and did not want to entangle him.

In March, the Imperial Academy edited Wu Weiye's tribute to Chen Shizheng: "Today, the crisis is extremely dangerous, and the emperor's mourning edict is now, sympathizing with others and sinning himself, thinking about blame and fearing disaster, hanging to death and loving loyalty, rewarding meritorious deeds and prohibiting violence, making fathers and children feel the same grief and indignation." Enmity, the hearts of the people are in a rage, and the fighting spirit is doubled.Linqing is only one state. Jia people buy scholars with thousands of dollars, and use them to break thieves.Today, with the size of the capital, the prosperity of the princes and relatives, the emperor summoned him to the palace, and encouraged them with loyalty and righteousness. They donated their family wealth to raise the dead. Its aquatic plants.The minister thinks that the enemy's energy is already lazy, and His Majesty is full of power, and the enemy will flee.But after the enemy is gone, Fang is worried.Today's plan is to send the ministers who know the soldiers urgently to select sharp soldiers from the nine borders, and then use thousands of soldiers from Sichuan and Zhejiang to prevent this autumn.Then the legal system will be changed, generals will be selected to prepare frontiers, military tests will be serious, and millet will be enough to eat.

The beginning of this passage is very interesting. Wu Weiye said that Linqing was well defended during the entry of Qing soldiers.

Linqing is the site and residence of Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong.

When the Qing soldiers entered the customs, Chongzhen sent another order to let Liu Zeqing join the Wei Jingshi, and then asked him to reinforce Jinan when the Qing soldiers marched into Shandong. As a result, Liu Zeqing said that he fell off his horse and was not in good health and could not walk.

Later, the Qing soldiers besieged Linqing, and the merchants in Linqing donated more than 5000 taels of gold and more than 4 taels of silver to the defenders.

The morale of Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses was greatly boosted, and they defended well without being breached.

Wu Weiye just said that a small Linqing can do this, we have so many nobles and rich people in our capital, you can donate a little, and I can donate a little, even tens of millions of taels of military expenses can be donated.

History has proved that Wu Weiye's words were true. Later, when Li Zicheng went to the capital, no one was willing to pay.

But Wu Weiye's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and he was immediately condemned by the court civil and military officials.

What are you talking about, who has money?The merchants are shameless, they are all profiteers, of course they are rich, we are all nobles of the Ming Dynasty, what money do we have, are you, Wu Weiye, very rich?Where did you get your money from?

In the original history, because of this performance of Chen Shizheng, he was regarded as a rat crossing the street, and the officials scolded him. Not long after, he was sent to Nanjing Guozijian. In the second year, he simply resigned. After Li Zicheng took over the capital, he came out to Nanming again. After working for two months, I saw that Nanming's Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were nothing, so I resigned after working for two months.

After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they probably felt that he was a loyal minister and a celebrity, so they tried their best to let him go out to work, and his mother urged him.But Wu Weiye was extremely sorry for his Qu Jieshiqing in his heart, and he had no regrets, so he often borrowed poems.To write mourning.At the end of the 13th year of Shunzhi (1656), he returned to Ding Younan and never returned to officialdom.

Generally speaking, Wu Weiye is fairly so-so.

This time Wu Weiye was even worse. He just said to let the nobles donate money, but he was immediately scolded bloody.

Emperor Chongzhen's head of state, Jiading Bo Zhou Kui almost jumped out and pointed at Wu Weiye and cursed.

Cursing and cursing, still not relieved, he rushed up and grabbed Wu Weiye's hair, and threw it to the ground.

Wu Weiye suddenly thumped and fell to the ground.

Many ministers of civil and military affairs rushed forward, you kicked me, it can be said that there is no refinement.

Chongzhen's seven orifices smoked, he was ashamed and angry, and he managed to overwhelm the officials, and under the advice of the officials, he ordered Wu Weiye to go home and reflect.

Come on, Wu Weiye didn't even have the chance to go to Nanjing this time, so he went straight home.

Wu Weiye was also polite. He wiped the blood on his face after he got up. He didn't want to do it, so he resigned and went home that day.

He had nothing to do at home, so he considered whether to go back to his hometown.

He is from Taicang, Jiangsu, so after thinking about it, he plans to go back to his hometown to live in seclusion and concentrate on writing poetry.

That day, when he had nothing to do to buy wine on the street, he happened to meet someone in a restaurant telling a story.

The storyteller vividly said that this time when he entered the customs, the Ding Yi tribe of Dongjiang Town defeated the Qing soldiers again, killing countless people, and also beheaded the Jiannu Beile Yuetuo.

Wu Weiye was very surprised to hear it, because the Ming court had never heard of these military affairs.

Then he discovered that there are storytellers in many places in the capital who are talking about these things, but many of them will be driven away by Jin Yiwei in less than two or three days and ordered not to talk nonsense.

This is Luo Yangxing giving Ding Yi face, otherwise all these people will be arrested.

After Wu Weiye heard it for a few days, no one in the capital said these things anymore. After thinking about it, he packed up and went to Shandong.
-
At the beginning of April, when the Qing soldiers left the customs, Sun Chuanting accused Zu Kuan, under Guan Ning's command, Gao Qiqian, of being responsible for the fall of Jinan and offending Gao Qiqian.

Because the imperial court asked Zu Kuan to help, but Zu Kuan's soldiers and horses stopped halfway, and stayed where they were, and did not go until Jinan fell.

After the Qing soldiers left the customs, Sun Chuanting repeatedly asked to meet Emperor Chongzhen, but not only Gao Qiqian was at odds with him, but also Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was afraid that Sun Chuanting would "take the seat" (replacing his position as Minister of the Ministry of War), so he repeatedly obstructed him. He was on standby in Tongzhou.

On April 23, Sun Chuanting caught a cold and became deaf, so Shangshu resigned as governor of Baoding and recommended Yang Wenyue to replace him.

Emperor Chongzhen let it go without seeing him, and thought that Sun Chuanting was being tempered. If I don't see you, you should shirk responsibility, right?

After the Ministry of War came to verify the truth, it reported back to Chongzhen, and Chongzhen dismissed him, but the emperor was dubious, and sent Yushi Yang Yijun to verify again.

Do you think Chongzhen is weird? Yang Sichang of the Ministry of War said that Lu Xiangsheng was defeated and fled. He believed it and did not send a censor to investigate. He said that Sun Chuanting was deaf. Competent and loyal ministers.

Sun Chuanting received the decree and moved to Yizhou, waiting for another investigation. At this time, Yin Sanpin, the school teacher of Baoding Prefecture, reported Sun Chuanting, saying that Sun Chuanting arrested the people indiscriminately.

Yang Yijun once again verified that Sun Chuanting's illness was true, and dismissed Yin Sanpin's complaint as "venting anger".Under the influence of Yang Sichang, Gao Qiqian, etc., Emperor Chongzhen had lost his mind. After receiving Yang Yijun's reward, he insisted that Sun Chuanting's claim of illness was "obviously a deception" and believed that Yang Yijun was protecting him, so he sent Sun Chuanting and Yang Yijun to the hospital. The two were dismissed together, and Jin Yiwei was sent to arrest Sun Chuanting and put him in prison on July 12, the 1639th year of Chongzhen (23).

So far, not long after the Qing soldiers entered the pass, Sun Chuanting, the last famous official of the Ming Dynasty, was imprisoned by Chongzhen for three years.

Because of the heavy losses of the Ming Dynasty in this entry, Jinan's important city was destroyed, the vassal king was killed, and tens of thousands of Ming troops were killed. Chongzhen immediately began to liquidate after the war.

In April of the 12th year of Chongzhen, for the crime of losing land, he beheaded Deng Xizhao, the director of Jizhen, Sun Maolin, the sub-supervisor, Chen Zubao, the governor of Shuntian, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, Wu Guojun and Chen Guowei, the chief soldiers of Jizhen, and the aid 36 important officials including Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen, the commander in chief, were suppressed.

Especially the beheading of Zu Kuan this time further made Zu Dashou feel disappointed in Chongzhen.

At this time, we can see the disadvantages of the general army of the guest army and the advantages of the general army of the main army.

As mentioned earlier, the Ming Dynasty was divided into the chief army of the main army and the chief army of the guest army.

Liu Zeqing and Zu Dashou, the General Soldier of Shandong Province, were stationed in Linqing, Jinzhou and other places.

Zu Kuan is the General Soldier of Aid and Suppression, which was temporarily formed to go to various places to fight against the peasant army. He has no land or hoarding land, and his food and salary are all provided by the imperial court, similar to rogue bandits.

In order to arrest and kill Zu Kuan, Chongzhen ordered him to be summoned to Jinan, on the grounds of rescuing the dead and healing the wounded, and rebuilding Jinan.

When Zu Kuan heard that this was a good thing, he rushed away excitedly with dozens of servants.

A large number of his soldiers and horses were placed outside Jinan City.

He left the big camp on the front foot, and the imperial court sent an imperial decree to his big camp on the back foot, transferring all his soldiers and horses to the other general soldiers.

Because it is a guest army, everyone is the same as everyone, so naturally there is nothing to say.

At that time, the same order also came to Liu Zeqing in Linqing. How cunning Liu Zeqing was, he still said that his leg injury was not healed, so he sent a general there, and he continued to guard Linqing.

He served as the general soldier of Shandong for many years, stationed in Linqing, and emptied the surrounding counties. Merchants had to pay him money when they entered and exited the counties. There is no way.

So when Zu Kuan arrived in Jinan, he was arrested and beheaded by Chongzhen.

Although Zu Kuan did not work hard in this battle, he made a lot of military exploits. Chongzhen killed him as soon as he said it, which really chilled the generals of Liaodong.

But compared to these people, some Ming troops performed well in the entry of the Qing soldiers. Whether it was Ding Yi's soldiers or Wang Weizhong and Xu Fuzuo, they all made great contributions and killed thousands of Qing soldiers. One of the great victories in the history of Ming Dynasty.

Among them, there are more than 1000 Jurchen heads alone, including Beile Yuetuo.

But because Yue Tuo had smallpox, the court refused to recognize his head.

However, for the imperial court, those who made great contributions this time were all from the original Dongjiang Township, and even Xu Fuzuo was from Dongjiang Township.

How to confer rewards really gave Chongzhen a headache.
