The battle with Xinming cannot be fought, but it must be fought, because the millions of troops combined by Hong Chengchou, Sanshun King, and even Wu Sangui are selected, because Wang Xuejun and Dashun Army occupy Henan and are already isolated behind the enemy in Jiangnan in disguise.

Xinming, which has emerged now, has divided the entire empire into two parts.

"Expand the army, expand the army. We will expand the army to the eight banners of Manchu and Mongolia and 200,000 green camps."

Where is the military expenditure paid?

The government bonds were not implemented in the Qing Dynasty, so we should restore the tradition that our ancestors had and grab them.

Take the people first.

Yu Liangyou, the general of Shanxi, saw that Shandong Xinming's power became stronger and Henan fell into the hands of the Han people again.

So, the idea of ​​surrendering to Shun, rebelling against Shun, surrendering to Qing, rebelling against Qing, occupying Shanxi, and connecting with Henan.

So, he secretly sent someone to Li Guo, Zhongzhen Camp to contact him.

At the same time, the key is to send someone to contact Xinming.

Wang Xuejun knew that he was at the end of his strength and needed to train troops to breathe.

Once Yu Liangyou rises up, he must be saved. If he doesn't save him, he will lose his righteousness first and he will be cheaper. He has already attached himself to Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

But recently, even if you want to support Li Guo’s Zhongzhen Camp, you can’t do it even if you want to.

Now Li Guo will never let his team pass through his territory. What he is afraid of is that he will be able to kill them by holding the sheep and beating the rabbits.

After all, the enemy and friend of both sides are unknown now.

So he advised him earnestly: "Don't rush to move first, bear with it first."

As a result, after such a deal, Yu Liangyou completely stood on the side of Emperor Yongli and became ally with Li Guo's loyal camp.

In November of the winter of the 20th year of Chongzhen, the anti-Qing Yi Banner was launched and Hejin, Yuncheng and Xia County were quickly occupied.

Li Guo also sent four teams of Lao Eighth Team to fight to the Shanxi area, and for a moment, he occupied the important town of Luoyang.

Dorgon received the report and was overjoyed at the time. He really wanted to come whatever he wanted.

So, he immediately ordered the Governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Prince Zheng Jiergalang, to supervise the army to quell the rebellion.

Jiergalang, who was in charge of Taiyuan, followed Dorgon's intention and led his elite soldiers and generals to go south, fight to defeat Hejin, and fight again to defeat Yuncheng, and then take Xia County, arrest Yu Liangyou, and behead him in front of the formation.

After recapturing the three cities, Jirgalang ordered the massacre of the city.

Hejin is the ancient Yellow River ferry crossing across Henan, Shanxi and Shaanxi, connecting with Qinchuan in Hanzhong and is the most important shipping ferry in Yuncheng. The benefits of borrowing salt are extremely rich.

Yuncheng is one of the four major salt fields of the Central Plains Empire. The salt produced is sold in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and further west to Xinjiang and Tibet.

There are many families with millions of dollars in Yuncheng.

Xia County is a fertile land and is a famous granary in Shanxi.

When the Qing army occupied this place, they could not bear the shame to attack the rich salt merchants at that time, and were afraid that the rich salt merchants would be forced to rebel.

At the same time, we are also counting on them to maintain the transfer of salt.

But this time it was different. In order to raise money to train troops, Dorgon ordered the city to massacre and seize the wealthy businessmen's family assets.

The three counties that Jirhalang killed at that time were blood flowing into a river.

If there is a donkey in the family, the family will be slaughtered and the family's property will be confiscated.

Those who did not have a donkey immediately turned into donkeys and cultivated land for the Qing Dynasty children.

However, these three cities obtained 10 million taels of real silver for the Qing Dynasty in a blink of an eye, and those real estates were not included.

But this is not the end.

Dorgon also ordered the six counties around these three counties to be massacred.

This is called the method of scheming. A family rebelled, killing a street, a town rebelled, killing a county, a county rebelled, killing three counties.

In this way, it will not only deter the Han people from being dissatisfied, but also accumulate money. It will also implement a policy of reducing the number of Han people. It is really a three-killing victory.

For a moment, the blood of killing flowed into a river of wealth.

There is another source of military expenditure, which is selling official positions.

Shunzhi issued an order: "Now, the letter from Zunyi, the Qing Dynasty has not yet been reported for the letter from Huguang (Hunan and Hubei), Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou.

Should we go quickly to send officials to recruit and appease the civil and military officials in Beijing do not restrict their duties, family furnishings, scholars and people, etc. If we are willing to lose allegiance, we will be allowed to register at the Ministry of War. Only then will we give it to the official."

This was obtained by Dorgon Shunzhi's discussion. Especially Tong Yanghe, the governor of the eight provinces who were just famous, agreed with both hands.

Now, although I, the governor of the eight provinces, have almost no land or people, I finally have officials and subordinates after accepting them. Is this a bit like that?

First, the Qing Dynasty could sell officials to raise military expenses, and second, they could also let those who bought officials go directly to the enfeoffed places and persuade them to surrender and recruit local officials to recruit soldiers and horses. It was really worthwhile and easy.

A county is based on the ninth rank, starting from five hundred taels. As long as you can take out 100,000 silver, the provincial governor will be yours.

There are only so many places, and officials can only sell so many in the end.

This is considered insufficient inventory.

It doesn't matter, there is no official, right? Then let's create a group of officials out of thin air.

So, in the Qing Dynasty, a fourth-rank Taoist official who could not tell what he was doing or where he was at, emerged.

This thing does not require location, resettlement, and does not require salary. You can sell as much as you want.

As soon as the news was announced, some shameless people who were keen on fame and fortune immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to rely on the power of the Qing Dynasty's military and seek great value with their perfect tongue, so they volunteered to buy an official hat before talking about it.

This is called occupying the pit first, so as to save you from being able to find the cottage when you have shit.

The Qing Dynasty sold favors and titles, and the wealthy flocked to it. For a time, the Qing Dynasty's Ministry of Personnel was crowded with people. This policy eventually continued to the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

So on the street, you will see beggars, nickel platforms for making coolies, vassal platforms for serving as servants, and county magistrates who carry sedan chairs and prefects who grazed cattle, there are many.

As soon as the wine table sat down, everyone bowed and said that the officials had met you all.

Once you have money, train troops.

First, Duoduo recruited cavalry among the Mongols.

When my ancestors were Zhen Jurchen, they implemented the most stringent system of reducing digits against the Mongolian ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty.

Any Yuanmeng boy who is taller than the wheel is beheaded.

But this time the method of reducing the number of taxes is that it is a pity for the male slaughtered by the wheel. He must join the army.

After all, being cannon fodder can be used to make waste than cutting directly.

Of course, these days, there are not so many soldiers, so let’s go out of stock first and wait for the time being needed in the future before being cannon fodder.

The 100,000 troops were able to get a full quota in a blink of an eye.

But it still takes the Han army to conquer cities and territory.

Another 200,000 Han troops were recruited to supplement the military camps of King Sanshun and Wu Sangui, as well as green camps in various places.

But Dorgon also saw that his original method of raising troops was not good. He had to follow the reality and reform.

The original method was to bring your own equipment once you went to the battle, bring your own food and drink for seven days, and then rob everything, and then sit on the ground to share the spoils.

The Eight Banners of Han and the Green Camp also implemented this policy.

But the situation changed. With the large number of Ming troops represented by Wu Sangui surrendering and forming a green camp, they have become accustomed to taking military pay for you. If they don’t take military pay, who will still work for you?

Besides, the huge shortcomings of self-providing equipment were also exposed in several wars with Xinming.

Among the most familiar military formations of the Han army, you can't even get a unified sword, shield and spear soldiers, which makes the military formation unable to achieve any effect.

There is also the issue of eating.

Some Han army green camps could not catch wars for a long time, and could not grab food, and were always hungry.

Grab food on the spot?

Now those places are all the lands of the Qing Dynasty, so I can only grab them by the Qing Dynasty, and it’s not your turn to grab them.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Green Camp were often hungry and full.

If you don’t have enough food, there will be constant mutiny in the army or disband.

Even if I can persist, I am so hungry that I can’t even hold on to the sword and gun. How can I fight?

Now that I have money, I will start to build regular troops according to the Central Plains dynasty and turn robbers into officers and soldiers.

Dorgon stipulated that the Eight Banners of Manchus would cost two taels of silver per month, a pair of cotton armor, and a big knife.

Four kilograms of rice per day, including vegetable and salt.

Four kilograms of rice are not much, and people are quite able to eat rice without meat. Otherwise, book friends would try how much rice you can eat without meat for three days.

The Eight Banners of Mongolia, each soldier costs one tael and five cents of silver per month, an old sheepskin coat and a big knife.

Three kilograms of rice per day.

The Eight Banners of Han, Tianyou Army, and Wu Sangui Army, each soldier costs one tael of silver per month, and he is looking for his armor. He is stabbing a gun.

In the Green Camp, each soldier costs five cents of silver per month, and he shoots a gun.

Two kilograms of rice per day.

The capital built a Ruijian camp, with 20,000 soldiers and 100,000 targets.

All are strong and powerful, and are a firearm.

Originally, there were too many firearms in the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Works. In the Battle of Queshan, they picked up nearly 10,000 flintlock rifles of the New Ming army on the battlefield, which was enough to be equipped.

This time, the Qing Dynasty added 100,000 Mongolian Eight Banners and 200,000 Han troops. The number of new troops has exceeded Wang Xuejun's 100,000.
