The army of Zhou Daxia moved south, and there was an endless stream of defectors along the way.
The momentum was overwhelming, and they attacked Guyuan, Longde, Pingliang, and Zhenyuan. Soon Pingliang was under control, and the number of soldiers and horses increased to 45,000.
Sharpen your sword and take Qingyang from the east.
Originally, Qingyang could skip the fight and go south directly, take Fengxiang Mansion, and join Fan Youxian's army. But at this time, Qingyang's Green Camp troops had been transferred away, leaving them empty and weak.
Zhou Shimin and Gao Mingzhan discussed it. Since it is a soft persimmon, it will become white if you don't pinch it. It's just a good idea to get some money and food for the army. With tens of thousands of soldiers, it will cost a lot to eat what the horse chews.
Qingyang didn't have many soldiers, but there was a ruthless man, the thirty-four-year-old Qingyang magistrate Fu Honglie. At this time, the Qingyang magistrate was vacant, and he took over his duties. He was ruthless. His father admired Sun Quan and gave him the same name.
Words: Zhongmou; people are ruthless, especially ruthless to officials!
He saw that Qingyang suffered successive wars and the people were displaced, especially in the three counties of Ningzhou, Anhua and Heshui. Selling sons and daughters was a common thing, but the taxes collected by the Qing court did not decrease at all. He spoke:
The common people were pitiful and had no money to pay back taxes, so we officials should pay it back for the common people. So we took the lead in donating our property, asking our officials to donate money and materials, and paid more than 30,000 taels of tax arrears for the common people. We also issued a notice
, he told the people not to pursue conquests to calm their hearts; he also submitted a letter to Emperor Shunzhi, "Please be exempted from the Qing Dynasty Money and Food No. 1", requesting for a reduction or exemption of money and food.
Emperor Shunzhi was financially strapped at this time and could not reduce taxes. However, if he ignored this, he was afraid of getting a bad reputation as someone who did not care for the people, so he issued an order to reduce Qingyang's previous tax arrears of 5,000 taels, just to show off.
With such a ruthless man, although Qingyang is still very poor, the lives of the people in Qingyang are much better than in other provinces.
Fu Honglie concentrated all the garrison troops in Huanxian, Heshui, Ningzhou and Zhenning counties to improve the security of the government, and he had two thousand garrison troops. He also recruited ordinary people to defend the city. Hearing that Fu Tongzhi wanted to defend the city, the people of Anhua enthusiastically helped him.
, actually recruited more than 5,000 young men.
After entering Qingyang, Zhou Shimin found that this place was different from other places. There were very few people who defected to him. He was very surprised. He asked an old farmer, "My father-in-law, why are there no refugees here?"
"Fu Tongzhi paid the tax for them and issued a notice saying that they would no longer pursue taxes. Everyone returned to their hometowns to farm, so there were naturally fewer refugees."
"Why are there not many people who defect to the king's army? Don't everyone want to expel the Tartars and restore the Ming Dynasty?"
"The Ming Dynasty is great, but during the Ming Dynasty, people still didn't have enough to eat. Now that Fu Tongzhi has given everyone food to eat, naturally they don't want to do this stupid thing."
"Alas," Zhou Shimin sighed, "Fu Honglie is a good official, but if there are too many good officials like him, it will be difficult to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
??
"Fu Honglie, you are from Jiangxi and your family members are in the south. Why bother to work for the Tatars? It is the right thing to surrender quickly." Under Anhua City, Zhou Shimin ordered his subordinates to shout. If Fu Honglie is willing to surrender, that would be great!
"Shut up! I am enjoying the salary of the Qing Dynasty, so I should serve the Qing Dynasty!"
Fu Honglie drew his bow and shot an arrow. He was a civil servant, and he was not satisfied with the bow string, so the arrow could not be shot, but his courage was commendable.
"Stubborn, attack the city", Zhou Daxia was angered, and the consequences were serious.
First there was a burst of artillery, and then Sun Chongya, Zhu Yingkui, Zhao Guangyin, and Gao Wang's tribes attacked the city from all sides.
Fu Honglie led Tong Guoyu, Yu Erqiu, Wu Zongsi, Lu Shilong, Zhu Jie and other Qingyang officials to defend the defense to the death.
After ten days of fierce fighting, both sides lost about 4,000 people. The Ming army killed Wu Zongsi, Lu Shilong, Zhu Jie and other captive officials. Seeing that the city was about to be destroyed, the scouts came to report, and Tu Hai's pursuers were approaching.<
/p>
"Fu Honglie, you are lucky," Zhou Shimin roared angrily, and ordered to go south to Fengxiang.
He walked in front, followed by the Qing army, led by five thousand Ordos cavalry.
It turned out that E Luochen was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat after seeing so many memorials to impeach him. He was afraid that Emperor Shunzhi would cause trouble for him, so he was eager to redeem himself by making meritorious deeds, and followed the rebels like a gust of wind.
Although the rebels were marching very fast, they could not hold back the Mongols' large numbers of troops, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.
Zhou Shimin saw that he could not get rid of these Mongols, so he decided to fight. It happened that E Fuchen's cavalry was too fast and was far away from Tuhai's army, which was a good opportunity to ambush them.
He chose Duyang Mountain in Fengxiang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province as the location for the ambush. This mountain is located dozens of miles northeast of Fengxiang County. There is Duyang Valley in the mountain, which is a good place for an ambush. In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Zi Shao, the governor of Qizhou, once stayed here.
Defeat the Turks.
More than 40,000 rebels lay quietly in the mountains, waiting for the Ordos cavalry to enter the valley.
Here we are, even though there are only five thousand cavalry, but one person and two horses, the momentum of ten thousand horses galloping, is better than tens of thousands of troops.
The vanguard is Beizi Dazhamusu. Generally speaking, generals who serve as vanguards either do very well or have a particularly miserable life. Dazhamusu is pitiful and belongs to the category of those who have a particularly miserable life.
The reason why he was so miserable was because he had a criminal record, a criminal record for rebelling against the Qing Dynasty. Once a criminal record was committed, it would be difficult to eliminate the impact. Therefore, "Three Kingdoms" said, "Just like a criminal record, it has definitely given up hope.
And the wretchedness repeats itself."
That year, the Ordos tribe Ephochen led his people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. The two major tribes in the tribe, Jida Zhamusu and Dorji, refused to accept it. Our Ordos tribe has been the guard of the Mongolian Khan for generations, how can we be Jurchens?
Slaves? So they joined forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but failed to win. Dazhamusu surrendered, and Dorji died in Alxa in the battle.
To this day, Dazhamusu still remembers the scene when the Qing envoy brought Emperor Shunzhi's edict to admonish him and Dorji.
The envoy of the Qing Dynasty read the imperial edict arrogantly, "The imperial edict says: I heard that you have betrayed me, and I want to increase your troops. But I have been grateful for my kindness for a long time, and my life is pity, so you can't bear to go to war. If you can repent and come to court, I will forgive you."
"I'm so generous. If you don't surrender immediately because of danger, you will not be allowed to survive when we send out troops to eliminate your traces." Dorji became angry at that time. He whipped the guy into a bloody man with a horsewhip and shouted at the same time: "I
The Ordos tribe only serves the descendants of Genghis Khan. Who do you think you love the Xinjueluo family!"
In the end, the battle was lost. In order to survive, he knelt down in shame and humiliation in front of the Qing envoy's horse. Dorji refused to surrender. Even though he ran out of ammunition and food and was heavily besieged, he refused to surrender. He suffered dozens of wounds and fought hard.
And died.
There are some things that we should not think about. When thinking of Dorji, Dazhamusu felt panicked.
Some things are done for a lifetime. In the eyes of the Qing court, if Dazhamusu rebelled once, he would be rebellious for a lifetime. The Qing government divided Ordos into six banners. With Dazhamusu's status, how could
He should also be a flag master. Without his share, he was only sealed as a shell, and nothing else. Over the years, he has been living cautiously, for fear that one day the Qing government will settle old accounts.
"Da Zha Mu Su, Your Majesty ordered you to enter the valley immediately to pursue the rebels." E Luochen's messenger came arrogantly.
Da Zhamusu was so angry that I was a bastard after all, and you dared to call me by my first name without even calling me a bastard! Just wait, one day I gain power and I have to behead you, a scornful creature like you!
”
He was angry in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Please report back to the prince, I will go into the valley to chase the enemy."
