Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 676
Unintentionally, Song Qingshu unlocked a new function for the begging army. In this era of half-cold weapons, face-to-face fights on the battlefield, bloody situations are too common, and the number of deaths in wars only accounts for 30.00% or even less. The rest either died from post-war infection or died from hemorrhage. With penicillin, the infection rate is now plummeting. With blood transfusion therapy, the post-war survival rate of Ming army soldiers has reached the peak of this era.

This has also brought about an unprecedented increase in morale, and the soldiers who have struggled back from the death line will be more fearless of danger and move forward bravely.

Song Qingshu wanted to accompany Yu'er to cultivate in Yixing for a few days, but unfortunately, he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies after all, and Jianghuai is in a hurry, and Dorgon may go south at any time. On the [-]th of the month, he still had to lead the reorganized [-] divisions to go north again to face Dorgon from the north.

On October [-]th, full of tangled, Mongolian and Han soldiers, Dorgon, who set off from the capital, finally arrived in Yangzhou. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of northern warriors with spears and iron horses had to stop before this short Yangtze River. Stepping forward, facing Guazhou Town on the Yangzhou River, on the Shiyezhou in the center of the Yangtze River, the earthen platform rises high, and there are constantly busy soldiers pushing the cannons up. Looking at the river, towering sailboats are lined up , like a Great Wall on the water, the sharp muzzle pointing murderously at the river.

In this scene, some fragments that once made Dorgon heartbroken came to his mind again. He looked around the river with a binoculars, and then he turned around and walked away without saying a word, with his hands behind his back. The soldiers waved their teeth and returned directly to Yangzhou.

Jiang Kui, a poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem "Yangzhou Slow". Since Huma peeped out of the river, the ponds and trees have been abandoned, and he is still tired of talking about soldiers!Zhenzhen also described the current Yangzhou. The once magnificent capital of Huaizuo, a super city with a population of over one million, has gone through a full ten days of brutal massacres. At this time, there is really only a piece of rubble left.

The once prosperous salt merchant group was completely wiped out at this time. Even the residents near Yangzhou were withdrawn to the south of the Yangtze River by Shi Lang. The huge ancient capital was like a dead city. Apart from the ruins, there were foxes and wolves on the streets. Groups and the like haunted the city, and only the army of slaves stationed in the city recently added a bit of popularity to this place.

"The Prince Regent is here!"

There used to be Qing soldiers in uniforms standing next to Governor Shi Kefa's yamen. When they saw the cavalry coming, they all kowtowed and kowtowed while leaning on their guns. General Nu was wearing a heavy cotton armor, like the iron tower, and rushed out to meet him.

"What about the old fourteenth, how is the defense on Nangou's side, when will they fight across the river, slaughter Yingtian, and avenge the old fifteenth!"

Since the death of the old slave Nurhachi, the three brothers Dorgon, Doduo and Azig, who are one-milk compatriots, have huddled tightly in the circle of nobles in Jianzhou. He was so angry that he even led his troops from Huguang to Xuzhou without an order.

Hearing Azige's brave and rude words, Dorgon couldn't help but frowned. As soon as Azige left, there was a clear vacancy in Huguang's troops. In recent days' battle reports, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others even A counterattack was launched, although it did not shake Xiangyang, it also made the situation passive.

Glancing at him, Dorgon didn't speak immediately, Dorgon walked towards the mansion coldly, took two or three steps, and then said in a muffled voice without turning his head.

"Go in and talk!"

…………

"Meet the master!"

The governor's compound was kept quite intact. In the flower hall, dozens of civil and military ministers of the Qing court were also waiting there respectfully. When they saw Dorgon coming in, they shook their sleeves and knelt down together. It's a pity that there are many people here. People are all ministers and officials of the former Ming Dynasty, one by one sages who spoke out of righteousness, but now they are shameless, bowing down to their slave chieftains who used to verbally criticize and abuse them, and still kneel with peace of mind.

"Get up!"

"Thank you sir."

After the kowtow was over, a group of officials and lords dared to get up, and soon after, the great scholar Fan Wencheng took the lead in clasping his fists and bowing hurriedly, asking questions.

"Master, I don't know how Nanman Jiangfang is?"

Here, he is the only one who has never been a minister for a day. Kneeling is the most peace of mind. He completely puts himself in the position of building slaves. Once the slaves are established to unify the whole country, he will be the hero of the founding of the country, rather than attracting the barbarians. The shameful traitor in the Central Plains, Fan Wencheng is most eager to know.

But listening to this, Dorgon couldn't help but sighed sincerely and shook his head.

"There are Song and Qing books in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Chen Baxian of Nanliang! The banners and flags around Zhenjiang are filled, and the sails are like clouds. !"

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Hou Jing Rebellion broke out in the Liang Dynasty. Hou Jing, a descendant of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, rebelled from Shou County, and the army fought all the way to Jiankang. The north and the south coveted, and Hou Jing was pacified in a crisis-ridden moment. It can be regarded as preserving the Han civilization that had been rapidly weakened at that time. After supporting Nanliang for a period of time, Chen Baxian replaced it and established the name Nanchen.

Dorgon's sinology is pretty good. With Song Qingshu ahead of Chen Ba, he also has no confidence to break through the blockade of Song Qingshu's dense fleet on the Yangtze River.

"What? Don't attack! Then I won't avenge the old fifteenth? Old fourteen! Don't forget when the eighth drugged you, who carried you back in the extreme cold and snow, and the fight for the throne At that time, who brought Jiala into Shengjing overnight to suppress the arrogance of Haoge's bastards, you still have a little conscience, isn't it our brother?"

Azige's angry eyes were on fire, and his bearded face was trembling and roaring unceasingly. Dorgon's face darkened again when he heard it. Many of them are proficient in Manchu, and he has shaken off the dirty things of the power struggle within Jiannu, especially for his uncle, the regent, who can't bear face.

"That's enough! Old Fifteen's Qiu Benwang remember! But now we have to think about the overall situation. Qingzhou is making trouble with the White Lotus Sect. Sichuan, Huguang, and Shaanxi are all fighting. You want to raise the old Khan's thirteen sets of armor. Can all the lands and mountains brought down by the old and young masters of our banners be defeated?"

"I think you just occupy too much land of the Han dog. The rules and regulations of the Han dog are blinding your eyes. If you get over it, you will become less courageous. Okay, if you don't avenge the old fifteen, I, the older brother, will go in person!"

"Azig! Azig!"

Flicking his sleeves violently, Azig rushed out of the flower hall in a rage, Dorgon's rather handsome face turned livid in an instant, and kept shouting from behind, but Azige didn't even turn his head All of a sudden, Dorgon walked to the door furiously, and Dorgon also roared angrily, shaking his teeth left and right.

"What are you doing in a daze? Let me watch Prince Ying. If he dares to take a step out of Yangzhou, I will lock you up for me!"

The soldiers of Yashiba are all the dead men of the master and the sons of the Manchu family. Life, death and wealth are all related to the master. When Dorgon gave an order, dozens of Yababa immediately followed out with murderous intent.

Seeing Dorgon come back, all the Manchu and Han ministers in the flower hall lowered their heads, showing a look of embarrassment. They just heard a lot of nasty things among Jiannu Banner owners, and they witnessed A conflict between brothers filled the scene with a sense of embarrassment.

However, Dorgon is also worthy of being the enlightened master of Jiannu, the capable man who led Jiannu to seize the world in history, as if nothing happened just now, Dorgon sat on the handsome chair in the flower hall with a normal face, Picking up the teacup, he said to the servile Man and Han officials below.

"This king is planning to make peace with someone Song first. First, he will do his best to pacify Huguang and Sichuan, and then go down the river to attack Huanglong like the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen. Forgive him, someone Song can't resist, Fan University Sergeant, you will bring the Ministry of Rites to draft the letter of credence when you go back."

"Yes, there is a separate copy, and I will make him Song Qingshu the king of Wu, the lord of the south of the Yangtze River. It would be best if Song Qingshu is willing to pay tribute to my Qing Dynasty. If he is not willing, then return it to Emperor Hongguang of Nanming. If he, Song, is not willing to be a minister, let him bear the name of betraying the master and killing the king."

Dorgon's method is not new. At that time, the Jin army captured the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong of the Northern Song Dynasty to Baishan Heishui. The successor Song Gaozong Zhao Gou was always afraid that the Jin people would put the two emperors back and force him to Zen. So the Northern Expedition The matter has been delayed for a long time, and it was not until the end of the Southern Song Dynasty that the old capital of Kaifeng was recovered by the hands of the Mongols, but it was also a flash in the pan.

From Dorgon's point of view, Song Qingshu is now so popular in the south of the Yangtze River. Although he still doesn't know the news of the complete annihilation of the Boluo army, but looking at Zhenjiang's garrison like a cloud, it may not be much better. The next step, Song Qingshu He must be impatient to become king, or even proclaim himself emperor directly.

He has been studying these Han scholar-bureaucrats for a long time. Does Dorgon know that these guys are not serious all day long, but they are stricter than anyone else in terms of red tape. Once Zhu Yousong is released, Song Qingshu must replace him if he wants to replace him. Being criticized by the scholar-bureaucrats in the south of the Yangtze River, it will undoubtedly be a lot smoother when the slaves are established and the troops in the south of the Yangtze River are raised again. There will always be self-righteous traitors acting as the leading party in the front under the banner of righteousness.

Moreover, based on Zhu Yousong's depraved energy while drinking and listening to music in the Tenth Prince's Mansion in the capital, it is estimated that letting Zhu Yousong go back would have set up a big internal response for Jiannu.

However, as soon as Dorgon finished speaking, a Han official stood up hastily.

"Prince Regent, this servant thinks it's wrong!"

The anger with Azig just now surfaced again in an instant, what is a Hanguan?It seems that Dorgon is just his own dog. As a dog, he just listens to his master's orders. This dog slave dared to stand up to refute his own ideas. He really won the trick of making irresponsible remarks to the Ming emperor. Are they full of men?

However, there are many Han officials under his command. For the time being, Dorgon didn't want to lose his demeanor in front of the lackeys. If he wanted to clean up, he would stew this disobedient dog in private.

"What's wrong with this king's order?"

"Prince Regent, this slave thinks that Hongguang should be executed! Don't forget, there is still a King of Lu in the south of the Yangtze River who supervises the state in Zhoushan, and Hongguang is the orthodox banner of Song Qingshu!"

He still looks like an iron-boned imperial envoy, the former imperial censor of the left capital of the Ming Dynasty, and now the imperial censor Fang Kezhuang is holding his fists and chatting eloquently. It is a pity that his image will be greatly reduced, but this Dorgon's eyes lit up after hearing what he said.

"go on!"
