Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 239

Although Dorgon knew that Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, had trained nearly 50 recruits in Nanjing, he did not expect that these 50 recruits would be so powerful. When Yu Bu went south to Huguang, the Ming court still had heavy troops in Jiangnan.

So Dorgon couldn't help but feel that there must be something strange in it.

However, within a few days, Azige's memorial was delivered to Beijing, and Dorgon learned that Li Zicheng had been said to have been killed by his Eight Banners, and that Li Yan had led the rest of the trespassers to the Ming Dynasty, and had been compiled as the extermination of the captives. military.

In this era, the time required for news transmission has traditionally been longer, and Dorgon's focus has now shifted to the Ming court, so it is not surprising to know that the rest of the thieves have returned to the Ming court at this time.

Last year, Li Zicheng marched into Beijing, and it was several months later that Dorgon learned from Wu Sangui that Beijing had fallen to Li Zicheng, and then colluded with Wu Sangui to lead the elite of the Eight Banners to enter the customs and occupy Beijing.

So sometimes it is normal for the latest news to be delayed for a long time.

"Whether Li Zicheng was really killed by my Eight Banners sentry cavalry or was assassinated, let alone, but what about Zuo Liangyu's army?"

Dorgon asked Beizi Xihan who reported to Beijing.

"Back to the Regent, Zuo Liangyu's tribe was destroyed by Zhu Minghuang Degong and Yuan Jixian's tribe two months ago. Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Menggeng's father and son were all punished by the Ming court for treason!"

After Bei Zixihan said this, Dorgon couldn't help but sneered: "Okay, what a Zhu Youjian! This king really underestimated him! This king thought that Zuo Liangyu's conspiracy and Li Zicheng's going south would force him to He transferred heavy troops from the south of the Yangtze River to the west, but he didn't expect that he used Huang Degong to destroy Zuo Liangyu two months ago, and recruited Li Zicheng. Could he be able to pinch and count? He had expected that Zuo Liangyu would rebel and Li Zicheng would go south No!"

"What the prince said is very true. Now that I think about it carefully, it's no wonder that Zhu Youjian issued an edict a few years ago, instructing the trespassers to understand the righteousness and understand the overall situation. The news said that Huang Degong from Jiangbei was transferred westward to Jiangxi. Now it seems that Zhu Youjian was indeed prepared. We had expected that Zhu Youjian might have such preparations, but we didn't expect that Huang Degong would really make Zuo Liangyu was completely defeated, this Zuo Liangyu has an army of nearly a million, and there are still the rest of the robbers, but Zhu Youjian can endure the one who dug his ancestral grave?"

I also said after the university scholar Ning finished.

Here, Beizi Xihan also replied: "Emperor Zhu Ming is indeed able to bear it. It is reported that he personally ordered Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Rites, to conduct the emperor's funeral for Li Zicheng, and ordered all the officials to participate in the sacrifice, and all the trespassing ministries also turned to Daming one after another because of this. Because Emperor Zhu Ming gave the intruders courtesy, all the officials of the Ming court in the Huguang area treated the intruders with courtesy, and it can be said that the intruders now have enough food, and it is more difficult to fight than before."

Dorgon was quite surprised when he heard this, and he hurriedly ordered Xihan to bring his secret letter to Azige, ordering him not to underestimate the enemy and wait for the imperial court's order.

"Whether you can bear it or not, and the current situation is ahead, this Emperor Chongzhen made me look at it with admiration. However, I thought that even so, with the bravery of my Qing cavalry, even if Zhu You inspected the Jianghuai army, it would be impossible. It is unlikely that they will be defeated, but now it seems that the rivers and networks in the south of the Yangtze River are intertwined, the hearts of the people are still for Zhu Ming, and there is a natural moat in the Yangtze River, I am afraid that these are the reasons."

Here, as soon as Beizi Xihan left, Dorgon continued to talk about Zhu Youjian.

"My lord, I always feel that even if Zhu Youjian had planned ahead, he prepared heavy troops in the south of the Yangtze River and waited for Prince Yu to fight, and if Prince Yu's entire army was wiped out, it might not only be that the land in the south of the Yangtze River is not conducive to cavalry battles, but only I'm afraid it has something to do with this guard army. It's been a long time since I saw an army that can cause such heavy losses in the Qing Dynasty. The last time was the bloody battle in Hunhe 20 years ago. At that time, both the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers were With sharp firearms and sharp tactics, it has done a lot of damage to our Qing cavalry. Now I am afraid that this guard army will also be the same as this white soldier and Zhejiang soldiers. Taking advantage of the terrain in the south of the Yangtze River and the sharpness of firearms and artillery, it has severely damaged our Qing Dynasty. iron cavalry."

Ning finished what I said.

Dorgon also concentrated on thinking hard, and finally said after a long time: "You are right, if the Ming army can really hit our Great Qing cavalry hard, it must rely on the advantage of this firearms!"

"At present, the main force of my Qing Dynasty is still there, and the morale of the place where the country was founded is strong. This failure alone is not enough to mobilize the vitality. This time it is indeed because we underestimated him. Zhu Youjian, although we knew it first, but did not think about it. In the end, he was caught off guard, but as a slave, in the future, my Qing Dynasty can still destroy the Ming court. Since ancient times, the unified world has been dominated by the north and the south. The Eight Banners will be the main force, and the waterways will advance side by side, and a larger firearms and artillery battalion will be formed."

After Ning finished speaking with a cold smile on my face, I couldn't help but look at Dorgon. As a minister of the Han dynasty and a close friend of Dorgon, he naturally hoped that Dorgon would not give up his ambition to destroy the Ming.

"It's up to you to pass on the news to the civil and military officials above the second rank in Beijing, and at the same time issue an order from His Majesty to call Da Qi tomorrow to discuss the return of Azig's class teacher to the court and the future destruction of the Ming Dynasty. How is the progress of the land affairs, if there are those who do not shave their hair, it will be a crime of sitting on the family, and if there are those who resist the government because of enclosing land, they will be punished as treason!"

Dorgon told Ning Wan and me to back down after speaking.

Seeing this, Ning Wan, I couldn’t help persuading him: “Although the enclosure is clearly intended to only enclose the former Ming officials’ fields, vassal fields, and unowned fields, the people below are enclosing as long as they are good fields, regardless of whether they have owners or not. My lord, I'm afraid this move will make people feel even more uneasy!"

"You don't need to say any more, how can this king not know that this is an act of losing the hearts of the people, but in the court, many princes and nobles such as Jierhalang have been dissatisfied with this king's move to enter the pass to plot the world, and now Prince Yu is completely annihilated. If this king doesn't let them enclose the land and get more wealth in the pass, I'm afraid they will have to persuade the queen mother and the emperor to return to Shengjing, and then they will talk about unifying the world. I would rather lose the hearts of the Han people than be dissatisfied People's hearts, if this provokes a civil uprising, this group of unscrupulous and lowly slaves could not fight for the country when Li Zicheng came, how much momentum can they create now, when the Azig army returns, the Manchurian cavalry will be stationed In Gyeonggi, suppressing the rebellion is nothing but a piece of cake, and the foundation of our Qing Dynasty is still as solid as Mount Tai!"

Dorgon said solemnly.

After seeing this, I can’t persuade him anymore. He also admitted that Dorgon’s words are reasonable. The most important thing now is not that enclosing land will lose the hearts of the Han people, but that enclosing land will allow the nobles of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to continue to follow Dorgon. Dagon stayed in the pass.

The same is true for the hair-shaving order. After Ning Wan, I know that the reason why Dorgon did this is because he knew that although it would arouse the resistance of the Han people, it would also completely cut off the backbone of the people who were interested in the Han Dynasty, and the remaining Han people would naturally It will also become the most loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty will also be more firmly established in the northern country.

As for the boiling of public grievances, there is no need to consider it now that the military power of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is still strong.
