"Wu Sangui, Jierharang, and Ajige have defeated the remnants of the Eastern Barbarians, but they still occupy the four provinces of Qin, Jin, and Yanlu. Hu Chen has not yet been swept away, the overall situation has not yet been stabilized, and the complete unification of Jin Ou has not yet been consolidated.
The overall situation is at hand, Donglu still has the power to reverse the situation, and our army cannot be cautious again."
Fang Yiren was still wary of the remnant Qing Dynasty, which still controlled most of the people's territory in the four provinces of North China. About half of the Dashun army's reinforcements were already under the command of Guo Junzhen. They did not stop at the gates of Xuzhou City, but went directly north.
Following the march route of the Qing army's previous southern expedition, they successively recovered many cities in Fengfei and the plains of southwestern Shandong.
The remaining half of the troops, most of whom were wounded soldiers who were seriously injured in the Battle of Xuzhou, followed the King of Jin's ceremonial guard and the accompanying officials of the Dashun Dynasty, and stayed in Xuzhou City for temporary rest and recuperation.
Li Laiheng had already visited the government office to visit Gu Kecheng, who was injured by the Qing soldiers. He was seriously injured, but fortunately he was not seriously injured. In this fierce decisive battle, the Shun army only sacrificed one of its senior generals, Ma Shiyao, the commander-in-chief.
, basically achieved the result of capturing the core strength of the Qing army in one fell swoop, which is already very rare.
Liu Fangliang, who returned to the city, did not continue to wear his own pair of silver armor, nor the Yangwu blue smock that Ma Shiyao had given him. Instead, he wore a long linen coat to pay tribute to the heroic spirit of his old friends and subordinates.
Leave a message of condolence on his death.
Outside the compound of the government office, Song Qijiao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Xie Zheng, the president of the Wenyuyuan, each led a group of officials from the Kaifeng court. They were preparing to select officials according to their talents according to the registration list filled out by the surrendered officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Since the administrative system of the Dashun Dynasty was somewhat different from that of the Ming Dynasty, even if these surrendered officials passed the assessment of the Civil Service Government and the Wenyu Yuan, they still had to undergo further scrutiny by the Longyi Guards to prevent saboteurs from taking the opportunity to sneak into the court.
After the steps are completed, the demoted officials cannot directly participate in the Dashun regime. Instead, they need to go to the township official school or a series of New Deal study classes temporarily set up by Li Laiheng for several months of "re-education" before they can follow their instructions.
Achievements are awarded to officials of corresponding grades.
In the Battle of Xuzhou, Jiangnan was not only depleted of its troops, but also a large number of civil and military officials who followed Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa northward were all captured by the Shun army. There were so many surrenders. After all, the first time in history is the real drama, and the second time history can only repeat itself.
It's a farce.
The Ming Dynasty experienced a drastic change last year when the Donglu invaded the country and kidnapped Emperor Chongzhen. It also experienced a chaos in which Emperor Chongzhen died for no apparent reason in the Battle of Huolu. How can it find martyrs today?
The Dashun Army has assigned some cavalry, guided by the surrendered Ming army by boat, across the Huaihe River and heading south, all the way to the land of Jiangbei. Wherever the Shun army arrives, the people of Jiangbei go out to welcome them from the countryside, open the city to welcome them, and those who go out of the city to watch the wind and wait for the enemy are equally prohibited.
count.
Hao Yaoqi, who was ordered to lead his army southward, had already set up a wine exchange in Bozhou. The southeastern gentry who packed up gold and went northward to help pay would be issued a commissary ticket by the Shun army. After the army went south, they would be divided into separate registers with other local gentry.
, giving different preferential treatment.
The Dashun Army, with the power of complete victory in the Xuzhou Battle, chased north with more than 2,000 cavalry, tracking Liu Zeqing and Zheng Sen's troops all the way as he fled south. The place was solemn along the way, shopping was not easy, and there was no restriction on movement.
Under such a policy, there are still people who are dedicated to the Ming Dynasty in the north, but there are none in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone keeps his family, and the obedient army will not kill indiscriminately. The army will destroy the bamboo, and the Jianghuai River will be settled in only a few days.
It turns out that the north fell into the hands of the Qing army, and because Dorgon issued an order to shave off their hair, countless people from the former Ming Dynasty fled to Nanjing. Among them, half of the best people followed Ma Shiying in the Northern Expedition, and now they all fell into
In the palm of Li Laiheng's hand.
Outside the Xuzhou government compound, there are already voices of smart demoted officials kowtowing and shouting "Long live the Emperor of Dashun". However, the intelligence of such people is limited after all, and their understanding of the Dashun regime is even more limited.
The really smart people are those who have found out that the commander-in-chief of the Shun Army is Jin King Li Laiheng.
These smarter people shouted directly: "Long live the Jin King of Dashun! We were born when the Holy Lord Zhenguan was born, so we came to the army to wait for the king!"
However, a large number of troops and horses from the imperial army under Li Laiheng entered the city, and the sound of war hooves was like wind and rain. Even if these Ming Dynasty demoted officials shouted loudly, they were drowned in the sound of military horses, and Li Laiheng could not hear a word.
However, among the prisoners of the Ming and Qing armies, there were each a group of first-class smart people. From this sentence, they found a very brilliant reason for their surrender:
"Since Heaven gave birth to the Holy Lord Zhenguan, why not give birth to the ministers of Wei Zheng? Since the reputation of a man is incomplete, he should establish a world-renowned name like Guan Zhong, and Wei Zheng can do it."
Many people who know something about the internal political organization of the Dashun Army deliberately touted Li Laiheng as the "Holy Master of Zhenguan" like Tang Taizong Li Shimin. In this way, he could be regarded as the hidden prince Li Jiancheng and later served as a minister to Tang Taizong.
Wei Zheng calls himself.
These people were coveting the job, but in fact they knew nothing about the administrative system of Dashun, and they had no idea about the general strategy of pacifying Jiangnan and conquering Yandu. Li Laiheng only regarded the voices of this group of people as farts, and ordered Song Qijiao and Xie Zheng to screen them carefully.
Get rid of more useless scholars.
Li Laiheng's main energy was still spent on cleaning up the remaining forces of the Qing army. After the Battle of Xuzhou, he sent Guo Junzhen to lead 30,000 troops north to regain the lost territory, and assisted the Shun Army in front of the Taishan line to resist Azige's southward march.
Army soldiers and horses, but for the Southern Ming Dynasty, only Hao Yaoqi was sent to lead a cavalry of two thousand to pursue and take over the land north of the Yangtze River.
Li Laiheng's intention is very obvious: to focus on the north and ignore the south.
This is because although Dorgon surrendered and was captured, more than half of the Manchurians in their prime were wiped out, but in the hands of Daishan in Yandu, Jierharang in Taiyuan, Wu Sangui in Xi'an and Azige in Jinan, it is estimated that more than ten people are still in control.
There are 50,000 troops, including Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers, estimated to be around 20,000 to 30,000.
If such a powerful military force is left alone and the Qing army is allowed to integrate and restore its strength on its own. Once the Qing army gives up its current oversized territory and retreats to the Yanyun area, it is still possible to form the Khitan's national power in the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Dorgon has already led the army." Li Laiheng took off his armor and relaxed for a while, then regained his nervous expression and said, "But Yan, Jin, Qin, and Lu have not yet been pacified, and there are still hundreds of thousands of Donglu available.
Our troops must be divided up and occupy the Yellow River. Our army must regain its vigor as soon as possible, and before the enemy can consolidate, cut through the chaos with a sharp sword, attack his unpreparedness, and directly restore Hebei as soon as possible."
As a political force transformed from a peasant uprising army, the Dashun Army treated monarchs and ministers more equally internally than in the Ming Dynasty. Except for Li Laiheng, who sat on the main seat, everyone from Pingzhang Zhengshi Fang Yiren to other generals and above
The important generals all had chairs in the hall to sit on.
Fang Yiren knocked on the handle of the chair and mentioned Dorgon again:
"What should we do if Chief Rui surrenders to our army? Should he be sent back to Kaifeng and detained now? Or should he use it to persuade the kings of Hebei to surrender to the Qing army?"
Li Laiheng laughed and said: "Surrender? If Jirharang, Ajige, Duduo, Daishan and other captive kings all surrender, what should I do with them? Just like the Ming Dynasty treated Anda Khan, grant him the title of Shunyi.
King?"
Liu Fangliang pressed his sword and hummed: "These slave chiefs still want to be crowned king? I can't wait to kill them all to sacrifice the souls of the countless heroes of Dashun Army in heaven.
Your Highness can recruit and surrender the kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but if he is crowned king, who among the soldiers in the army can be convinced? Who can put him at ease?"
Li Laiheng said sternly: "Master Liu, don't worry. I swear here that I will make the Manchus pay a sufficient price for their atrocities over the years. Such as Jierharang, Azige, Duduo, Daishan and other famous kings in the imperial court
, Gu will not let any of them go lightly.
Dorgon... first locked him up and controlled him tightly. Dorgon's surrender was nothing more than exchanging humiliation for life, with the thought of restoring the country. Gu Hui completely gave up this idea and dealt with the captives in Hebei, Gu Ye
Dorgon will never be used to solve the problem.
Dorgon's only role is to hold a historical trial at a public trial after Gu is completely wiped out."
Regarding the specific arrangements for the Second Northern Expedition, the Military Academy led by Gu Junen is already actively working on it:
The next target of the Dashun Army is the Azige East Route Army, not far from Xuzhou.

The Shun-Qing War has entered garbage time. Should we directly write the finale, or should we write some historical pictures of the Shun Dynasty like "The Fisher Family's Memoirs of China"?
