Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

"Dog slave, are you telling the truth?"

"Master, everything this slave says is true, if there is even a half-truth, it will be a thunderbolt."

"There's no need to swear poison, I don't believe in those false words." Dorgon said with a smile, "However, you just said that Hong Chengchou and the others tried to reform the Qing court, and I also found out that they even returned the previous Some of the bad habits of the official circles of the Ming Dynasty were also brought to the Qing court, and they wanted to engage in party struggles in the Qing Dynasty."

"Master, you are an unborn British lord. Naturally, the tricks of Han officials like Hong Chengchou can't be hidden from your eyes." Hou Fangyu said flatteringly, "The truth of faction will cause endless harm."

"Partisanship is indeed harmful, and it will shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty."

Dorgon said deeply, "The suggestion proposed by Hong Chengchou and others to classify all Han people into the Eight Banners Han army will inevitably lead to the situation between the Manchus and the Hanchens, and constant party disputes."

"Even the party struggle between Hanchen and Hanchen will become more intense."

"In this way, without the need for Nanming or Pseudo-Shun to use troops, the Qing Dynasty itself will fall apart."

"The master sees it clearly." Hou Fangyu also believed deeply, "Party struggle will inevitably lead to the subjugation of the country."

"But this move also has a major benefit that cannot be ignored." Dorgon sighed, "That is, it can allow the Qing Dynasty to obtain millions of soldiers overnight. This is especially important, after all, Nanming has more than [-] soldiers .”

After pondering for a moment, Hou Fangyu said: "The master can choose a compromise, so that he will not offend the Manchus and shake the foundation, but also allow the Qing Dynasty to obtain millions of soldiers."

"A compromise?" Dorgon asked with a slight expression, "How about a compromise?"

Hou Fangyu said: "50 Han people from Gyeonggi, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong were screened out to join the Eight Banners Han army, and these Han people could be given a share of land, and grain tax was exempted or only a small grain tax was levied. The remaining more than 100 Ten thousand households of Han people all moved to Gyeonggi and made coats with the Manchus, and the specific distribution was made according to the rank of the Manchus.”

"This is really a good way. Not only can it expand the Qing Dynasty's military source by 50 overnight, but it can also please the majority of the Manchus, so that it will not cause opposition from the Manchus." Dorgon stared at him. Liang then said, "But doing so will also offend the majority of Han gentry."

Screening 50 Han households to be assigned to the Eight Banners Han army, and dividing the 50 mu of Han households into land, and then forcing the remaining 100 million Han households to Gyeonggi to make coats for the Manchus, which seriously damaged the Han nationality. The interests of the gentry are simply the lifeblood of the Han gentry in several northern provinces.

The reason for this is also very simple, because most of the cultivated land in Shanxi, Hebei, and Shanxi was concentrated in the hands of the Han gentry. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to allocate land to the Han people who carried the flag, it could only snatch the cultivated land of these Han gentry.

It is absolutely impossible for the Manchus to spit out the arable land that was previously staking land.

In addition to the 50 households that raised the flag, the remaining more than 100 million households were relocated to Gyeonggi, and the landlords and gentry in the provinces of the Qing Dynasty did not even have tenant farmers. This is not Karma. What is their lifeblood? ?
As for the more than 100 million Han people who were relocated to Gyeonggi, they could not help but refuse to obey under the butcher's knife.

Besides, they planted land for the Han landlords in their hometown, and they also planted land for the Manchus in Gyeonggi, there is no difference.

"So what if you offend the Han landlords and gentry?" Hou Fangyu said with a sinister smile, "Aside from being obedient citizens of the Qing Dynasty, do they have any other choice? Can Nanming take them in, or can the hypocrites tolerate them?"

Dorgon heard the words and began to think seriously, maybe this proposal by Hou Fangyu is really feasible?
Seize the cultivated land first, and then seize the tenant farmers. Han officials such as Zhang Jinyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Sun Zhixie, Minister of Rites, etc. must be dissatisfied, but what if they are dissatisfied?

These Han officials first rebelled against the former Ming Dynasty and then the Puppet Shun. Both Chongzhen and Li Zicheng hated these Han officials to the bone.

Chongzhen even publicly declared that he would promote the equalization of land in the north, so even if these Han officials rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and returned to Ming Dynasty, there would be no good results. As for the pseudo-shun emperor Li Zicheng, there is no need to worry. It can be seen from his execution of Niu Jinxing Lingchi , this person is not a big-hearted person, so it is unlikely that those Han officials will vote for hypocrisy again.

As Hou Fangyu said, so what if the Han landlords and gentry were offended?
These people are just a flock of sheep, so what if they kill them and eat their meat?

"Dog slave." Dorgon kicked Hou Fangyu with a smile, and cursed again, "There are still a lot of ghost ideas."

Hou Fangyu immediately smiled obsequiously and said, "I have a lot of bad ideas, but I will only contribute them for the sake of my master and the Qing Dynasty. The slave is just an idiot."

Dorgon smiled, and ordered Cao Eryu: "Immediately call Qi Chongge, Gang Lin, Sony and others to discuss the state affairs."

Staff like Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, and Hou Fangyu can only provide advice, but when it comes to making decisions, Dorgon still has to discuss with Qi Chongge, Gang Lin, and Sony and other military ministers.

Early the next morning, the military computer room issued an edict ordering the governors of all provinces to select the Han people and raise the flag.

Dorgon still had some tricks. He didn't think of one step, but divided it into two stages.

In the first stage, 50 Han households were selected to raise the flag, so as to stabilize the local situation and make the people in Gyeonggi, Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong provinces return to their hearts.

The second stage is to relocate the remaining one million households to Gyeonggi.

Therefore, after the first edict was promulgated, apart from those landlords and gentry who had a large amount of cultivated land, the landlords and gentry with little cultivated land even expressed their gratitude to the Qing court. The Hebei gentry headed by Zhang Jinyan even wrote a letter Wan Yanshu, openly want to give Dorgon the title of God, and change the emperor's father, the regent, to the emperor.

Of course, the big landlords and noble gentry, who own tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, are not happy.

But it's useless, the handle of the knife is in Jiannu's hands, what can you do?

Compared with the landlords and gentry, the gratitude of the northern people is more simple.

The Han people who raised the flag and were exempted from taxes rushed to build a shrine for Dorgon.

Then the phenomenon of fleeing to the south also disappeared overnight.

The homeland is hard to leave, if they can live on, who would want to leave their homeland?
As a result, the public security situation in several provinces under the Jiannu rule has been greatly improved.

Half a month later, the Qing court immediately issued a second edict-relocation.

Moreover, Dorgon kept an eye on it. He didn't directly say that the Han people who migrated to Gyeonggi would be distributed to the Manchus as coated slaves, but only said that Gyeonggi was empty and that people from several northern provinces needed to be relocated to enrich Gyeonggi. He also lied to the people that , As long as you arrive in Gyeonggi, you can give [-] mu of cultivated land per Ding.

Because there was an example of 50 households raising the flag to divide the land, and the Qing government also issued a moving ration, so the remaining more than 100 million Han people in the northern provinces happily embarked on a journey to migrate to Gyeonggi.

At this point, the landlords and gentry in the northern provinces finally realized that something was wrong.

After years of war, there were only about 150 million households left in the northern provinces.

Now 50 households have been included in the Eight Banners Han army and have become bannermen, and the remaining more than 100 million households have been forcibly relocated to Gyeonggi by the Qing government. People are exploited by landlords and gentry, who will they eat in the future?From now on, I can only farm the land with my own hands, how can this work?
With this edict, several provinces under Jiannu's rule suddenly caused an uproar, the Han officials in the court talked a lot, and the local gentry were even more heartbroken, as if they were mourning their concubines.

For these landlords and gentry, the good times are really over.

So the representatives of the Jinshen headed by Zhang Jinyan wrote another Wanyan letter, claiming that this move would shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and make Dorgon take back his order no matter what.

Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan also urged Dorgon to take back his order.

Because Hong Chengchou and the others could see that after Dorgon listened to their opinions and made major reforms to the Eight Banners system, he did not continue to follow the path they had drawn. Instead, he turned around and returned to the Eight Banners of Lao Han With regard to the fishing and hunting system, Dorgon clearly intends to turn the northern provinces into an enlarged version of the Later Golden Khanate.

This is too far from Hong Chengchou's ideal "country".

However, Dorgon didn't listen at all. He attached great importance to Hong Chengchou's opinion, but he never believed it. In Dorgon's heart, he still had his own insistence, such as the shaving method, and the Eight Banners Fishing and Hunting System. This is Jurchen Or the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon will never give up easily because of anyone's advice.

……

When Li Ruolian sent the edict to build slaves to Nanjing through secret channels, Chongzhen was personally supervising the production of cement at the Gewuke Factory at the foot of Qingliang Mountain.

To make cement, you must first have a kiln.

The Gewuke Workshop has the best masons in the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen selected a group of masons to build a row of fifty forging kilns at the northern foot of Qingliang Mountain.

Chongzhen only remembered that there were limestone, clay and some additives in the ingredients of cement, but the proportion of ingredients and the types of additives were not very clear, so he could only feel and try.

Fifty calcining kilns were divided into five control groups, with ten calcining kilns in each group.

The first control group was filled with [-]% limestone and [-]% clay, and ten forging kilns were filled with different kinds of additives, such as iron ore, copper ore, glass or charcoal.

The second control group was filled with [-]% limestone and [-]% clay, plus different additives.

Then by analogy, the fifth control group was filled with [-]% limestone and [-]% clay, ten different additives were added to the ten kilns of each group, and then wheat straw was filled into the furnace cavity to start long-term calcination.

Chongzhen's calcining kiln is similar to common brick kilns, and the kiln temperature can usually reach about 800 degrees.

The temperature of the porcelain kiln for firing porcelain must exceed 1200 degrees, and the temperature of ordinary brick kilns is not enough. However, the kiln temperature required for calcining cement is even higher, more than 1400 degrees is required.
