The handover has come to an end, and Boluo, who is preparing to return to the north, receives another good news from Li Yuchun.
These days, Li Yuchun's success reports are being sent out one after another without waiting. Yesterday he recovered Kanpu, today he recovered Haiyan, he will recover Pinghu tomorrow, and he will recover Jiaxing the day after tomorrow. The one on the left surrendered the Haining rebel Zheng Jiwu, and the one on the right surrendered Zhu
Outline.
Today we surrender five hundred, and tomorrow we accept one thousand.
The squires from all over the country shaved their heads one after another and joined him, leading sheep and carrying wine to welcome Master Wang.
Anyway, under his sweeps, none of the rebels could hold on. Although they suffered a loss in Zhujiazhuang and lost 2,000 troops, they also completely defeated the Jiaxing Puppet Ming rebels in that battle.
Since then, no puppet Ming army has dared to face them.
Li Yuchun was sure to win every battle and was invincible, as if the God of War had come. Of course, all these victories were inseparable from a Haiyan Juren named Yan Wogong. This man once led his fellow tribesmen in the battle of Zhujiazhuang.
At the critical moment, they created chaos in the rear of the puppet Ming army, burned their camps, food and grass, and even led Li Yuchun to take a roundabout way into the puppet army camp, and finally won the victory.
Later, this Yan Wogong traveled around Jiaxing to contact the rural gentry and even the local garrison generals, and helped him instigate rebellion and recruit many troops to surrender.
For example, Zheng Jiwu and Zhu Dayou of Haiyan entered the city alone and successfully persuaded them to return anyway with his sharp tongue.
Anyway, Duke Yan has recruited and surrendered numerous people.
Bo Luo couldn't help but be very curious about this juren who was full of courage and had a long mouth, and his lips and tongue were more powerful than swords and guns. Li Yuchun strongly recommended him, so naturally he couldn't ignore it.
Although there was still some suspicion that Li Yuchun had lied about his military exploits, the several fast horses sent out all reported that the flags of the Green Camp were indeed being held high from Haining County all the way to Xiushui, the capital of Jiaxing.
They met Li Yuchun in Jiaxing Fucheng and found that the deputy commander-in-chief now had a strong army with more than 12,000 troops under his command. In addition, there were more than a dozen local squire troops still under Li Yuchun's command.
They also brought Bolo twenty thousand taels of silver, which made him very satisfied.
After much thought, Boluo decided to commend Li Yuchun and Yan Wo Gong. Li Yuchun was the deputy commander-in-chief of Xiezhen, Jiaxing, under the command of the commander-in-chief Hangjiahu. In fact, this was basically the position of Jiaxing general-general in the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing army went south,
, in order to appease these surrendered generals, they were specially upgraded. The generals became deputy generals, the deputy generals became generals, and the generals became admirals.
There used to be one commander-in-chief in each province, but now there are several in each province, and there is an admiral above the commander-in-chief. The rank has been improved, but the authority has not actually changed.
Lieutenant General Li Yuchun was recently promoted, but the commander-in-chief was also just appointed, so there was no vacancy.
"Li Yuchun is commended, named as a general soldier, and rewarded with 800 taels of silver."
In the end, Bolo had no choice but to get Li Yuchun a registered general soldier. This thing is not a real general soldier, but it will give you a general soldier rank first, and you can enjoy some of the general soldier's treatment, such as wearing the official uniform of a general soldier, but
In fact, if you want to be the general soldier, you have to wait for the position to be vacant. This is just like the selection of officials in the imperial court. If you pass the civil service examination, you will get an official status, but there will still be a vacancy. If there is no actual official vacancy, you will have an official position.
He has no actual ministry power.
This thing was originally used for civilian officials in the past, but now it is also used against military generals. After all, there are too many surrenders and official positions cannot be allocated.
"What kind of official position is suitable for Mr. Yan?" Bo Luo asked General Zhen Guo, Bai Yin Tu.
"Since this man is eloquent, why not let him continue to recruit and persuade, and give him a civil service? You can ask the court to grant him a Jinshi status. Don't all Han literati take a fancy to this Jinshi status? Then recommend him to be a Jinshi.
Since the censor of the Procuratorate is well, it is best to summon him for an interview to avoid being deceived by Li Yuchun."
"They are all Han Chinese, not of my race, so their minds must be different."
"Indeed, Li Yuchun boasted that his strictness was the same as that of Zhuge Kongming. I didn't quite believe it. If he really had such ability, wouldn't he be as good as Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou? If he really had such ability, I would definitely
We must recommend him to at least be the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and ask the imperial court to give him an edict to recruit and surrender officials from the former Ming Dynasty in Zhejiang as an imperial envoy."
"Then Haining Zheng Jiwu and Zhu Outline have kept saying it over and over again. It's better to kill this kind of person." Bai Yintu said.
They've already dropped it twice.
"No, we should focus on appeasement at the moment. As long as you are willing to surrender, you still have to be appeased. When things are completely settled in the future, it will not be too late to slowly liquidate it. Li Yuchun said that Zheng Jiwu and the others had previously accepted the supervision of the false King Yiyang of Chongming.
Feng, worship the Marquis of Haining and Uncle Haiyan?"
"Then let's be more generous this time. According to the old rules, the original official title can be retained, and can even be given a title. Zheng Jiwu will be granted the title of Admiral by name, and will be granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Haining Navy. He will still retain the title of Marquis of Haining, and Zhu Gang will grant the title
Commander-in-Chief is actually awarded the title of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and retains the title of Earl of Haiyan."
"Give each of them a reward of five hundred taels of silver, and ask them to submit a list of their troops and horses."
"It's best to let them send their old mother, wife and children as pledges," Baiyintu reminded.
"When I summon Mr. Yan to Hangzhou for an interview, I will grant him the title of Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate first. If he is really capable, then I can also ask him to be granted the title of Censor of the Capital, the right deputy."
Baiyintu didn't care much about the surrender of several Han people. He was more concerned about whether it was appropriate to leave now.
"Then there is a Lu Jianguo south of the Qiantang River. Why don't we send troops to destroy it before we leave?"
Bolo said bluntly, "The regent has been urging us to return home. Hong Chengchou and others have now arrived in Jiangnan. We can't stay away forever. Besides, the Eight Banners soldiers in the army also want to go back early."
"Prince Yu has already prepared to leave. He has sent people to remind him several times."
"But Lu Jianguo doesn't care anymore?"
Bo Luo said disdainfully, "The Lu Supervisor State is just a few idiots who took the opportunity to get addicted to power. Hongguang claimed to have hundreds of thousands of troops and wanted to cross the river to rule, but he was not defeated by us in one blow.
?And King Lu claimed to be in charge of the country, but as soon as we came, didn’t he just hold on for five days and then surrender?”
"What Lu Jianguo, Yiyang Wang Jianguo, do you think they are causing any trouble? There is no need for us Eight Banners elites to be dispatched, just leave it to Hong Chengchou, Zhang Cunren, Tu Guobao, Wu Zhaosheng, Tian Xiong, Li Chengdong and other guys.
These surrendered ministers and generals should be of some use, right? If you raise a dog, you can still look after the house. You can't say that raising these guys can't even do this, right?"
"Those Han people are the most cunning, and I'm afraid that they will respect themselves by raising bandits. Furthermore, King Yiyang gathered many deserters and defeated generals from Hongguang in Chongming. I heard that they had 300,000 troops, and the whole Jiangnan was ready to move. I'm just afraid
As soon as our army leaves, they will turn things upside down. If those surrendered generals cannot hold the place under control, won't we still have to lead our troops south to quell the chaos?"
Buluo said, "It's useless for you to tell me this. Dorgon is in power in Beijing now. He is the regent. He has the final say in the court. He now orders us to hand over Jiangnan to Hong Chengchou and others, so that we can learn from each other.
, can we still disobey orders?”
Baiyintu twirled his beard and lowered his voice, "Why do you think the regent had to send Luck Dehun to replace you?"
Bolo said without hesitation, "That's not simple. Tiancong Khan passed away two years ago. At that time, there was a fight within the clan to compete for the throne of Khan. Luck Dehun and his brother publicly supported Dorgon, and the result was unanimously rejected by all parties.
Afterwards, the brothers were arrested by their grandfather, Prince Li Daishan. Finally, Adali was executed for disturbing state affairs. His uncle Shuotuo was also imprisoned. Luck Dehun was also deposed from the clan and stripped of his title.
Demoted to a commoner under Hauge.
The situation at that time was very dangerous for Dorgon, and in the end he had to lose his soldiers to protect his commander.
But who knows, our Prince Rui is still very clever. Although he was defeated by Obai and others and failed to sit on the throne, he quickly controlled the two white flags and quickly gained control of the Khan Court.
After entering the customs, he became the regent, and the power of the court was under his control. How could he not express his gratitude to Luck Dehun and others who publicly supported him back then? "
"Using Luck Dehun as General Pingnan to replace me in guarding Hangzhou also declares to everyone that he will not treat those who follow him badly."
Speaking of this, Bolo was obviously dissatisfied. Bolo is Nurhaci's grandson, Dorgon is Nurhaci's son, and Lekedhuna is Nurhaci's great-grandson. They are one family.
The power struggle within the lovely Xinjieluo family has always been fierce. Whether it was the fierce battle between Huang Taiji and several big beile around the succession of the Khan after the death of Nurhachi, or the subsequent death of Huang Taiji, when his brothers wanted to
His son fights.
All of them involved the major Aixinjueluo families, and every time someone fell.
Luck Dehun is the grandson of Daishan, Bolo is the son of Abatai, and Daishan is the second son of Nurhachi and one of the four Baylors.
Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhaci.
Dorgon was the fourteenth son of Nurhachi, Prince Duduo of Henan in Nanjing was the fifteenth son of the emperor, and Prince Azige, the commander of the previous southern expedition, was the twelfth son of the emperor.
Among them, Dorgon, Azig, and Duduo are brothers from the same mother, and are the legitimate sons of Nurhaci's fourth great blessing.
Although Bolo's father Abatai is also the son of Nurhachi, he was born in a side wife's house and has been excluded from the core of the highest power for a long time. Although he has experienced hundreds of battles, has outstanding military exploits, and is very prestigious, Huang Taiji is very tolerant of this concubine.
, but do not really trust the power given to them.
At present, Abatai is commanding the left and right wings to send troops to guard Shandong and deal with the rebellious local armed forces. However, I heard that Dorgon has also issued an order to summon Abatai to return to the court.
Even Abate, who was guarding Shandong, was recalled to the DPRK. Will Abate's son Bolo be allowed to stay in Hangzhou?
It is not unusual at all to use one of our own, Luck Dehun, to replace Bolo, who is not one of our own.
Bo Luo felt like a mirror in his heart, and Bai Yintu, the Zhenguo general who was also from the clan, actually understood, but he still felt that Jiangnan was not peaceful at the moment, so he hurriedly transferred them back, for fear that they would pose a threat to Dorgon if they held military power for a long time.
I still don't feel convinced.
"I hope that Lu Jianguo and Yiyang Wang Jianguo can teach that boy Luck Dehun a lesson. It would be best if he becomes disgraced." Bolo sneered.
Baiyintu also smiled and said, "That's right. When Luck Dehun can no longer control the south of the Yangtze River, Baylor can ask for an order to lead the army south again."
