Four hundred and seventieth chapters after the gold dynamic
The optimism of Emperor Chongzhen and the ministers in the court was based on the people's long-term fear of the government and the authority of the Ming Dynasty that had lasted for more than three hundred years. However, the fall of Fengyang this time made the Ming Dynasty
The false power of the government collapsed in the minds of many bankrupt people. They suddenly found a way to survive, which was to join the peasant rebel army and completely overthrow the evil government that bankrupted them.
This really caused a spark to start a prairie fire! Moreover, the morale of the peasant rebels was also greatly increased, giving them the confidence to take the initiative to attack the big cities and dare to fight the main force of the Ming army.
And don’t forget that the life and death enemy of the Ming Dynasty at this time was not just the peasant rebel army. What was Huang Taiji, the King of the Later Jin Dynasty in Liaodong, doing?
Two things: one is to clear out all the enemies inside and outside Houjin!
First of all, after the surrender of Kong Youde's rebels, on June 19, the seventh year of Tiancong (the sixth year of Chongzhen. From now on, for the convenience of writing, they will be described by the name of the Ming Dynasty), Huang Taiji sent more than 10,000 Manchu and Han soldiers
They divided their left and right wings to attack Lushun. On July 14, a victory was achieved. The fortress of Lushunkou, the southern gate of Liaodong, fell into the hands of Hou Jin. At the same time, a large number of people, animals and property were captured.
In December of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji ordered his deputy to rule Qilan, and led Samushiha to lead 2,500 soldiers to conquer the unconquered areas of Heilongjiang. The next year, good news came from his homeland, and they conquered Huerha.
There were more than 7,300 strong men, young and old, men and women. At the same time, Wu Bahai went to Warkha and won many battles.
Huang Taiji expanded his territory in the Northeast to extend from Lushunkou in the south, to the east of the Ussuri River and the middle reaches of Heilongjiang in the north. He also received a large number of real women to join him. The strength of the Eight Banners was greatly improved.
In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally led troops to conquer Chahar. He set out in April to pursue Lin Dan Khan and crossed the Yellow River. Later, the Jin army ran out of food and shot yellow sheep to satisfy their hunger. There was no water, so they had to drink a cup of water with one sheep.
Returned halfway.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, when Huang Taiji once again conquered Chahar, it was discovered that Lin Dan Khan had died of illness in Dacaotan, Qinghai, with no one to return to. Later Jin Dynasty lost another great enemy. In the second year, Dorgon was sent
, Yue Tuo and others went to collect his son Erke Kongo Erzhe and his tribe. Dorgon unexpectedly obtained the imperial seal of the Yuan Dynasty.
This victory marked the return of all Monan Mongolia to the Hou Jin Dynasty. The Manchu and Mongolian forces outside the pass were unified in the hands of Huang Taiji, and the Hou Jin Dynasty could wholeheartedly deal with the Ming Dynasty without any worries.
In addition, Huang Taiji took advantage of the opportunity to conquer Chahar in the seventh and eighth years of Chongzhen to attack the Ming Dynasty, but mainly lingered around Datong and Xuanfu. It has not fundamentally shaken the rule of the Ming Dynasty. However, this is not
In a disguised form, the Shanxi frontier army was unable to join the Ming army that was encircling and suppressing the peasant rebels.
In domestic affairs, Huang Taiji also made outstanding achievements.
In the five years after the fourth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji devoted his main energy to establishing a more solid foundation for the rule of Hou Jin Dynasty. On August 29, the fifth year of Chongzhen, he ordered the Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen to inspect the poverty and suffering of the people in each banner, and seriously
To judge the criminals, the rulers of Hou Jin Dynasty, who had always been engaged in hunting, also proposed that they were not allowed to enter the village privately for hunting, and they were not allowed to take firewood without authorization, and they were not allowed to make noise.
In the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji warned Niu Lu Ezhen: when there is a conflict between farming and war, it is better to obey farming. This raised the importance of a stable farming life.
Moreover, Huang Taiji himself had a very good cultural quality. At this time, he implemented measures to revitalize culture and education. He changed his father Nurhachi's policy of massacring literati, and conducted examinations to select 200 Manchu, Han, and Mongolian students. He had
Recognize the importance of developing culture and education in governing the country. We cannot think that not studying will cause problems.
Therefore, Huang Taiji stipulated that starting from the fifth year of Chongzhen, all the children of Minister Baylor who are under the age of fifteen and over eight years old are required to study. They also began to focus on Manchu and absorb the advanced culture of the Han people. The ones that have been translated and are being translated include: "Huidian of the Ministry of Justice"
", "Sushu", "Three Strategies", "Wanbao Quanshu", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Six Tao", "Mencius", "Three Kingdoms", etc. And in the eight years after Chongzhen, the ministers of the Jin Dynasty Wen Guan
Translated the historical books of the Liao, Jin, Song and Yuan dynasties.
What is even more valuable is that Huang Taiji also attached great importance to ethnic policies. Another success of his was to expand his influence by "nurturing people well". Huang Taiji advocated that both officials and civilians should provide their families and villages, and do not make a person lose his place.
.
On the second day of June in the sixth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji gave a speech in which he ordered the soldiers to "no intrusion" on the newly attached people. Therefore, under the influence of Huang Taiji's policy, Ming generals Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were quite gratified.
They all returned to Houjin.
Moreover, Huang Taiji re-appointed Kong Youde as the marshal of the capital, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi as the chief military officers, allowing them to continue to lead the troops, alongside Heshuo Baylor. It turned out that Hou Jin's army was all Manchurian Eight Banners, and Tong Yangxing was ordered to do so in the fourth year of Chongzhen.
As the general military officer, he managed the Han soldiers. When they attacked Daling River, this army, known as the old Han soldiers, performed many feats with red-coated cannons. By the time Ma Guangyuan commanded the Han soldiers in the sixth year of Chongzhen, a Han military flag was actually formed.
The language is called Wu Zhen Chao Ha.
So on March 13, the seventh year of Chongzhen, when Huang Taiji paraded in the suburbs of Shenyang, there were eight Manchu banners, two Mongolian banners, and one old Han banner, a total of eleven banners. What was very different from before was that at this time
The army has transformed from a private armed force into a national army.
Another thing is to completely recuperate. Although Hou Jin achieved brilliant results in the Battle of Daling River City, such a nationwide war also consumed a considerable amount of Hou Jin's national power. It can be said that
, the Daling River Victory of Hou Jin Dynasty was the same as the Ruzhou Victory of Runing Army, which was a great military victory and a disastrous financial defeat.
Let me make an interesting hypothesis here. If the Ming Dynasty did not have the internal trouble of the peasant rebel army, as long as it relied on the national power of the Ming Dynasty to continuously send large armies to Liaodong to fight against Hou Jin, even if they were defeated every time, Hou Jin might be defeated.
Let Jin's strength be worn away.
Anyway, I won’t say much about this impossible hypothesis. After getting the imperial seal, I heard that the central capital of the Ming Dynasty had been captured by peasant rebels. The leaders of the Later Jin Dynasty were humble to the central power of the Ming Dynasty.
Their mentality was completely wiped out, and they began to prepare to found a country and be on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty.
What is somewhat sad is that the Ming Dynasty gradually moved from civilization to barbarism, while the Later Jin Dynasty gradually moved from barbarism to civilization. Like the Runing Army, the Hou Jin Dynasty was also establishing its own order and civilization, although
They all learned from the Ming Dynasty, but the Later Jin Dynasty wanted to suck blood from the Ming Dynasty, while the Runing Army wanted to develop parasitically on the Ming Dynasty.
The only difference is that although the Runing Army is developing fast enough, it is still far behind the Houjin army that occupies the entire outside the pass.
But no matter what happens in the future, the most important thing now is to regain Fengyang as soon as possible. And the fangs of the Runing Army are facing the peasant rebels who have withdrawn from Fengyang and headed south. (To be continued. If you
