Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 98
It is not nonsense that moving the capital to Beijing will make things better.

It is the result of Dorgon's judgment on the current situation based on his years of experience in manipulating politics and managing the country, as well as the Manchu Qing's long-planned ambition to take control of the Central Plains.

That's right.

Li Zicheng plundered wantonly in the capital.

But he left behind the soldiers, population, and land that the Manchu Qing really wanted, as well as the Ming gentry, landlords, local officials, and literati.

This gave Dorgon a huge room for manipulation.

First of all, the banner played by the Manchus when they entered the customs was to avenge Chongzhen.

This name is not important, it just makes people listen to it quite pleasingly.

After entering the customs, the actions of the Qing army really won the favor of everyone from the officials to the common people of the capital generation.

At least in this short period of time, those with strict military discipline have nothing to say.

Dorgon even directly said to the Ming officials who came to surrender: "It was an enemy country in the past, but now it is a family. When our soldiers enter the customs, if they touch a grass or a grain, they will be executed by military law. You will tell the residents, big and small, Do not panic."

After this appeasement, the Manchu Qing did not change any rules randomly, but immediately held a funeral for Chongzhen vigorously. Both the surrendered officials and the officials from the Qing Dynasty came to pay their respects, howling twice.

In a blink of an eye, wearing a mask of hypocrisy, he patted his chest and assured those officials of the literati family who had surrendered that our Qing Dynasty was a long-time admirer of the Han family, and we must vigorously support Confucianism. open ah!
what?
Protect the interests of officials and gentry?That must be guaranteed!
After this set of operations, it can be said that all the people will return to their hearts, and the officials and gentry are even more joyful, and they all almost call the savior to come.

But it's really nothing to say.

A series of routine operations to win people's hearts.

But it depends on who you compare with.

Li Zicheng's proper negative teaching material.

Daxi is living in Sichuan.

So the only one left to compare with the Qing Dynasty at this time is the Ming Dynasty.

Nanming.

When the Qing Dynasty staged the drama of the savior in the capital.

What is Nanming doing?

In revitalizing the economy?
Is it trying to curb the internal friction between officials in the DPRK and China?
Withholding land from large and small landlords to ease land annexation?

Are you battling a natural disaster?To save the common people in the water and fire?

Carrying out military reforms to revive the Ming dynasty?

nothing.

With these problems in mind, Nanming planned to make a move in Sichuan, just like an 80-year-old man who is still seriously ill and tremblingly wants to touch his neighbor's child who is in elementary school.

Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian couldn't sit still.

Or there is no way.

Although sitting in meditation to see the thoughts of the robbers and Jiannu confronting each other, we can't just stand by and ignore Sichuan, which has fallen step by step.

That is, in July, after the fall of Chongqing Mansion, Rui Wang Zhu Changhao was beheaded by the Daxi Army.

Zhu Yujian urgently ordered Zhang Huangyan, Minister of the Ministry of War, to mobilize troops.

At the same time, Zheng Chenggong was also appointed as the commander-in-chief of Sichuan and the admiral of Sichuan water and land.

(Before some readers said that the name Zheng Sen should be used, but the name Zheng Chenggong was bestowed by Long Wu. In this article, Long Wu took the position in advance, so there is no problem.)
To suppress the uprising and recover Sichuan.

This received strong verbal support from Chinese and military officials in the court.

Zheng Chenggong is also ambitious.

He intends to do his best for the country, and prepares all the ammunition obtained from Wang Cheng'en for a while, and uses it as a big killer.

Then, when Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong gathered together.

Here comes the problem.

At first, they gathered troops in Nanjing.

In just two or three days, Shi Kefa, who lost his position as minister of the Ministry of War but became Yin Tianfu, wrote a letter.

It means that you can gather troops, but let's discuss whether we can change the place.

Anywhere outside Nanjing is fine.

Zheng Chenggong and the two had no opinion.

After all, Nanjing is now the capital of Ming Dynasty.

The safety of the capital has to be guaranteed.

But after leaving Nanjing City, after staying in one place for only two days, the officials in charge of the place came again with a cautious look, asking if the army could change to another place for a reason, such as the small people in our place are also timid. Kind of bullshit.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly came to their senses.

The Law of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that where the army went out or changed defenses, the local town officials were obliged to supply food, grass and military supplies for the army, and the supply must start from the second day after the army stopped in the place.

The two were walked.

And this kind of operation is also a common old method in Daming.

The second year of Chongzhen, that's right, was the year when Li Zicheng started his army.

It is still the case that the capital is in a hurry.

The Quartet troops were urgently dispatched to defend Beijing.

Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi at that time, and Zhang Honggong, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, immediately led the army to rescue him after receiving the order.

But after arriving in the capital, the day was not full yet, and the officials of the capital came to drive them away the next day, saying that they were to lead troops to Tongzhou.

The two of them also understood that with all the armies coming to rescue him, it was understandable that the capital was short of food.

OK, let's go.

Go to Tongzhou to get some food and grass, and then come back to escort you.

But after arriving in Tongzhou, the buttocks were still hot, and the local officials asked them to transfer to Liangxiang County immediately.

At this time, the two had already surrounded the capital with their army for three days.

No matter where you go, you can't stay until the next day.

Because once the next day comes, the local government is obliged to provide food and grass to their army.

So, what will a soldier who has been running for three days without even getting a full meal, with his chest stuck to his back, thinking when he is asked to continue running to the next place?

Obviously, Li Zicheng could bear it a little bit.

This group of soldiers rebelled on the spot, and most of them joined the rebel army after they turned into demons and plundered wantonly.

But guess what.

The two leaders who came to rescue him did not turn back.

Chongzhen issued an imperial edict and the two obediently entered the prison. The Donglin people did not have a fair word.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the two were dragged to the West Market of the capital and beheaded.

There is no drama about flying snow in June.

Because this year's natural disasters are much more severe than flying snow.

There are many floods in the north and south.

It snowed heavily in January, more than two feet deep.

It was very cold in June, and many people wore cotton clothes.

In Gaochun, Jiangsu, the winter tree ice becomes armor, and the more ten days it will unravel.

The snow in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province lasted from October to the first month of the following year, and the roads were cut off, and the death of starvation and starvation was not counted.

In winter and October in Henan, the Yellow River is as solid as a rock, and more than twenty thieves try to cross it by riding on the ice, if they don't know there is a Yellow River.

In Yuxian County, winter is full of snow and snow.

The dry locusts in Shaanxi, in Yaozhou and Chengcheng counties, killed more than half of the people.

And now.

Zheng Chenggong looked at the official who was smiling cautiously, and the chill in his chest went straight to his heart.

"roll!"

The official knew that this person was appreciated by His Majesty, and he had a strong background. Even Shi Kefa had to discuss it with him, so he naturally retreated again and again, groaning secretly in his heart, only saying that he was about to bleed.

But a roar came from behind, which immediately made him happy.

"Zheng doesn't want your food!"

Not daring to reply, the officials ran away as if they had succeeded.

Zheng Chenggong's teeth were about to be crushed.

But when he thought of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he had to sit down and have a sip of tea to comfort himself, comforting himself that it was just food and grass. When the army went out, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households had already arranged food and grass, and even if it was not enough, he could use his own money to cover it That said, we will wait until we enter Sichuan.

Just breathed a sigh of relief.

The servant outside the door came to report again.

I thought it was that damn magistrate again, but just as the veins on my forehead blew up, I heard that it was someone sent by the former eunuch.

Call in and listen.

The great eunuch actually sent arms and food, and some people
