The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 193
That's right, at this time Kangxi's imperial cavalry was personally conscripted, and it was Tuhai who made a memorial. Kangxi was not convinced, and personally led [-] cavalry over.

I saw that every time the bandit army fired a volley of artillery fire, the number of officers and soldiers charging was greatly reduced. After finally rushing not far from the bandit army, they were wiped out by the boundless rain of bullets before they persisted for a while.

In just a quarter of an hour, there were not many [-] Green Battalion soldiers left.

With a livid face, Kangxi threw the binoculars heavily on the ground, turned his horse's head, and shouted coldly: "Tu Hai, you dog slave, you just let me watch the bandits show off their prestige? Huh?"

Tu Hai jumped off the horse, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "I dare not, but Long Live Lord, this! This!"

"Bastard!" Kangxi took out his whip and lashed Tu Hai several times, leaving several deep blood marks on Tu Hai's face, and then roared loudly: "Tu Hai, listen to me, these five Wan Tieqi will be handed over to you, and you must hold back the bandit army for half a month, and you must not suffer heavy losses."

"What about in half a month?"

Kangxi's face turned blue and red, and it took him a long time to smile wryly: "As you wish, Zhen! Alas!"

"Your Majesty, if the green hills are left without worrying about firewood, I still have a chance in Qing Dynasty." Tu Hai said with tears all over his face.

Kangxi didn't say a word, and directly rode back to the capital in a decadent manner. This battle, he finally gave up. The bandit army is so strong that the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry can't win even if they fight all out. Moreover, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry suffered heavy losses and could no longer suppress it. The huge Mongolian ministries are no longer presumptuous by Galdan.

He knows the disposition of these Mongolian princes best. Without strength, the Mongolian princes will not be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but may attack the Qing Dynasty. Now that the result is known, it is better to prepare early and preserve their strength. Kangxi regretted it , was sad again, and violated his own heart and issued several orders:

First, all subjects in Shanxi and Hebei were evacuated outside the pass, within half a month, and those who violated the order were beheaded.The Green Battalions in Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan also withdrew, but the officers and soldiers in Shandong did not move.

Second, send a special envoy to Wu Sangui, and send the land of Shaanxi and Gansu to Dazhou.

Third, order Prince Kang Jieshu to build defenses along the Great Wall, especially the Shanhaiguan area, which must be defended no matter what.

Fourth, let the king of Korea lead troops to help in the battle.

With an order, it was like throwing a big stone into a quiet small pool, and immediately set off a big wave of Xuanyuan, and the whole north was in chaos.

The out-of-control Qing army became more reckless with the mentality of making a profit before leaving. Like locusts crossing the border, all prefectures and counties in the north were severely damaged.

The people cried loudly, and the powerful armed forces did not want to leave their homes. For a while, wars broke out everywhere, and the people also violently rebelled, and they broke away from Kangxi's control all at once.

A brutal decree shattered Kangxi's years of hard work. He regretted it, so he had to take millions of subjects and hundreds of thousands of soldiers around the capital into Shanxi, and then returned to Liaodong.

When the First and Second Legions learned of the situation of the Qing army, they immediately divided up their troops to pursue and intercept the robbery. Among them, the 1st Division of the Divine Spear and a part of the 1st Division of the Divine Cannon approached Shanxi to block the way of the remaining Qing soldiers. The 2nd Division of the Divine Spear and the 1st Division of the Divine Cannon The first division approached Shanhaiguan, bombarded Shanhaiguan day and night, and the remnant of the 1st Marine Division was stationed at Qinhuangdao.

Tu Hai had suffered a lot from several times of harassment. In order to preserve his strength and fear that the Black Tiger Army would cut off their way, he had to make a detour and retreat outside the pass.

Han Yong's Second Army was divided into three groups. Among them, the 4th Division of Shenqiang quickly arrived in Hebei to maintain the local order; military.

For a time, the entire north was constantly fighting, and Jiang Tao, who was sitting in Jiangning, frowned. He didn't expect Kangxi to be so decisive, but he suffered tens of millions of people in the north. Fortunately, the lords of the various places were not stupid, and they did not follow the Manchu in the sunset. Tartars, this is why the Manchu treachery did not succeed.

Most of the Qing army withdrew, and now the landlords in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi are the most powerful. This time, most of them sent envoys to make peace in order to keep their fields and property.

China has been in chaos for too long, and Jiang Tao knew that if the reforms in the southern provinces were as thorough as those in the southern provinces, the powerful landlords in the northern provinces would definitely not agree. It cannot be improved, and it is not conducive to one's own rule.

This is so unfair that sooner or later someone will rebel.

After careful consideration, Jiang Tao proposed five points to these special envoys:
First, the landlord Hao Qiang handed over all his armed forces, and Daming reorganized and commanded them.

Second, the powerful landlords handed over 90.00% of their land, as well as all their minerals and forests, so the Ming Empire would protect their private property and houses.As for the land without owners and the land of the princes and ministers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they were all nationalized and distributed to the people without land in turn.

Third, powerful landlords were not allowed to raise domestic slaves, and domestic slaves had no right to land allocated by the state.

Fourth, those who capture Tartars, traitors, and national thieves, the Ming Empire can confer titles based on merit.

Fifth, all powerful landlords who still resisted the Ming army within half a month will be exterminated.

After Jiang Tao said this, regardless of the stunned envoys, he went directly back to the Huaxing Palace, and ordered Jiang Heng to bring all the civilian guards into the northern provinces, mainly Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi and other provinces. The intelligence agency spread Ming's new policy to prevent the common people from being used by careerists, and lost their lives in vain.

Because these provinces have a large population, as for Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces, the territory is vast and the people's conditions are complicated, and the Ming Dynasty does not have the strength and energy to take care of them.

Moreover, this time the Qing army retreated and took away countless materials. The people in these provinces now need a lot of food, and they are facing a severe winter season, which may cause great chaos and casualties.

Therefore, Jiang Tao ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to transfer grain and grass to the north through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to relieve the victims. He also ordered Wei Donglai, the second cabinet assistant, to be the governor of the four provinces to plan the distribution of land in the four northern provinces and stabilize the hearts of the people in the north.

At the same time, he ordered Jiang Shi to lead [-] troops into Henan, and ordered the governor of Hubei to recruit another [-] troops to guard against Wu Sangui.

He also ordered [-] tiger and leopard riders to enter the north to assist the armies in fighting.

At this moment, Jiang Tao received a memorial from Chen Dajiang. He didn't expect North Korea to be so undefended, and he was overjoyed. He ordered the 9th Division of the Sharpshooter, which had been reorganized and trained, to take the warship of the Black Dragon Fleet and stationed in Seoul, North Korea. Among them, Li Gu was the commander. , and brought a batch of silk and tea, etc., as rewards to the king and ministers of North Korea.

In fact, he didn't have such good intentions, but now he couldn't make a move, so he had to bribe the king and ministers of North Korea to make them lose their vigilance.

As long as North Korea can withstand the attack of the Manchu and Qing Tartars, the Manchu and Qing will be controlled in the Liaodong area, surrounded by the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. , which is beneficial to Daming.

The reason why Jiang Tao attaches so much importance to North Korea is because North Korea's geographical location is very important. However, as a vassal of Daming, he only caused troubles for Daming and wasted its national power, but he did not make any contribution to Daming.

After being invaded twice by the Manchu Qing Tartars, he quickly surrendered. A useless vassal state, no matter what, Jiang Tao snorted coldly, our Ming Dynasty is a fake Ming Dynasty, little North Korea just wait, what we need is a loyal dog, not a dog. Wobble pug.

The 9th Division of the Sharpshooter is fully capable of blocking the attack of the Qing cavalry. Jiang Tao issued a secret order to Li Gu. If the Li family dynasty dared to waver, it would be cheap to directly control their capital.

As for the strategy of the First Army, Jiang Tao admired it very much. In this way, the Manchu cavalry was blocked outside the pass, and Kangxi's plot to evacuate the north was also shattered, which greatly weakened the war potential of the Manchu.

As for Kangxi's escape to his old nest outside the pass, Jiang Tao was surprised, but it was easy to obtain four densely populated provinces, with more than 500 million people, which was the biggest gain.

If you have people, you will not be afraid of running out of food and clothing. If you have people, you will have everything. The reason why Jiang Tao is so confident and not afraid of refugees is mainly because Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, Anhui and other places have a bumper harvest this year, and the trade with the Dutch, He has hoarded countless grains. As long as he completely digests the four northern provinces, he will control ten populous provinces with a population of more than 500 million. The war potential is far from comparable to that of Man Qing and Wu Sangui.
