"It is said that Zhu Yihai is a master of military affairs, but what famous battles did he fight?"
The first-class Gonggu Shanzhen Tu Lai was wearing mercury armor, riding a bay-red horse, carrying two spears on his back, reining in the horse to rest, and spoke bluntly to the knight under his command, the jaw-toothed knight, with disdain on his face.
At the beginning, he followed Boluo all the way to Hangzhou City and drank from the Qiantang River. Zhu Yihai raised troops in Taizhou, but did Zhu Yihai dare to come to Hangzhou at that time?
They are all scurrying around like mice.
Even until now, he did not admit that Zhu Yihai was powerful and capable of fighting, because he could not find any examples of Zhu Yihai actually winning a direct battle with the Qing army.
"Zhu Yihai knew how to flee. Our government is in a bad situation now. It is not because the Eight Banners cannot fight, but because there are treacherous officials and traitors."
The traitors mentioned by Tu Lai naturally refer to the three Dorgon brothers. They relied heavily on the Han people to surrender their ministers, which led to their current defeat. The traitors were Hong Chengchou Yan Wogong and other traitorous traitors who were demoted by Dorgon.
Now in the Beijing court, the three Dorgon brothers have been gradually identified as traitors and traitors, and more and more princes and ministers have come forward to expose his crimes of treason.
The meeting of political kings and ministers also first discussed the crimes of Azig and Duduo. Su Kesaha, the minister of the Two White Banners, and others took the lead in exposing Dorgon, and finally agreed on Dorgon's fourteen major crimes.
Pursue all the titles, destroy the tombs and exhume the corpses, crush the bones and scatter the ashes.
Then a comprehensive purge of Dorgon's party began. Academician Ganglin, General Tan Tai, Minister of Guards Bai Yintu, Bahana, Leng Sengji, etc. were all arrested and imprisoned on charges.
The power that Dorgon had cultivated for many years completely collapsed.
The three Dorgon brothers were deprived of all their titles, and their children were also implicated. Not only were they deprived of their titles and property inheritance rights, they were all exiled to Ningguta and sent to the army.
Erbo was also ordered to return to his clan, directly extinguishing Dorgon's heirs.
His only daughter, Dongguo Gege, was given to Daishan for adoption. It is said that Daishan planned to use it to make peace with Mongolia and even Zhu Yihai in the future.
Emperor Shunzhi was only in his teens, so of course he did not do these things.
The two regent uncles Jierhalang and Daishan joined forces to kill Azig first and then Dodo, and then forced the empress dowager to be killed. The little emperor was completely controlled by them and became a puppet.
After a period of appeasement and win-over, the final reckoning began.
Prince Boluo and Nikan also exposed Dorgon's cronies Luoshi, Borhui, Ekeqin, Subai, Wubai, etc., who had shaken the state. After being tried by all the kings and ministers, they were either killed or exiled.
Then Tan Tai, who originally switched to Dorgon, saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly reported He Luohui, and Hu Xi assisted Dorgon in his evil deeds.
Therefore, the two Eight Banner generals He Luohui and Hu Xi, who did not repent and refused to change their stance, were hacked to death with random swords.
After these die-hards were wiped out, the rest basically switched to the new masters.
The two regent uncles also promoted Boudin, Zhandai, Suksaha, Gongadei, Aobai, Baturuzhan, Dulma, etc. as ministers of state affairs, and appointed Mandahai, Luo Keduo, Wakoda, Jie
Shu and others were promoted to princes.
The three kings Bolo, Nikan, and Mandahai had actually all joined Dorgon before, but now they are changing their ways. Like Suk Saha and Tan Tai, they switched to the new owner, even adding insult to injury.
In other words, He Luo would be more loyal, and in the end he and Luo Shi would rather die than obey, and they were all wiped out.
Aobai, Yi Bilong, Sony and others who had been suppressed by Dorgon were also revoked, their qualifications as ministers of affairs were restored, and they were promoted to higher ranks. Together with Ha Ke Saha, they all received the rank of important minister of the bodyguard.
As a military officer, Ao Bai also granted him the title of first-class duke.
Basically, after more than a year, the royalists led by Jierhalang and Daishan in the Qing Dynasty completely purged the Dorgon Group.
During this round of purges, brothers Boluo and Yue Le grew in power because they were brave and able to fight, and they also held military power. They were the leaders of small banners, and they were aware of current affairs.
Nikan, Mandahai and others also once again secured their positions as auxiliary kings.
People like Tulai have actually experienced many storms in this round of struggle.
Although he passed the test, he was actually very dissatisfied with this struggle. He felt that engaging in internal fighting at this time seriously weakened the strength of the Qing Dynasty and even caused chaos in the central government, leading to the defeat of Hanzhong on the Western Front.
It failed to invade Sichuan, but instead allowed the Ming army to take the opportunity to take Hanzhong and even incorporate the remnants of the Western Army.
Not to mention, the situation in Henan and Shandong is even worse.
Without this chaos, Zhu Yihai would never have the chance to be so arrogant now.
Of course, now that the situation has been decided, the Eight Banners can finally unite to fight against the outside world. On the Shandong side, Bo Luo and Tan Tai can also join forces again. Although He Luohui died and many Dorgon accomplices were purged, but
At least everyone won't be confused.
Just like now, the Eight Banners of Jinan are all young and strong, with more than 10,000 troops, old and young, all going into battle.
"After defeating Zhangqiu's Shence Army, and then crossing the Daqing River to destroy the Zhongyong Camp in another town, we can then go directly to Denglai to capture Zhu Yihai alive!"
Turai is still having sweet dreams.
A group of Eight Banner Ba Ya La also shouted as if victory was already in hand.
"Cheer up and keep going!"
After a break of ten miles, Bolo personally led the army, and Tu Lai was in the vanguard, preparing to attack Shence's army who dared to advance to Zhangqiu in one fell swoop. No matter how many ways he came, the Qing army only went one way.
Before setting off, Bolo specially took some silver and distributed it to the Eight Banners. He also admitted that Zhangqiu would be captured and the city would be massacred. All the rich women in the city would be rewarded by the Eight Banners.
There is a shortage of food and food in Jinan city, but there is no shortage of money.
Boluo was stationed in Jinan and tried every means to collect money. He levied grain according to the yellow book of the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty, the number of registered residents and the number of acres of land, and also imposed various additional levies.
After the levy was completed, in the past, the Ming Dynasty reserved more for local areas, and some could reach half of it.
But Bolo only kept about 10%, and the remaining 90% was shipped. Because it was during the war, 90% of the fortune went directly into Bolo's hands.
The retained money is too little, and the local government's expenses are too high to cover it, so we will just levy additional money.
There are six major items of local expenditures: official salaries, food and rice for government officials, sacrifices, agency fees, poverty alleviation expenditures, and post station expenditures.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The biggest expense is the food, rice, money, etc. of the yamen staff. There are many people, and the total expenses are also large.
For example, Licheng County, as the first county in the capital, levied more than 20,000 taels of silver in taxes, but Bolo only left more than 2,000 taels of silver for the county.
The yamen's subordinates, servants, and other workers and other people had more than one thousand taels of silver for work and food, while the officials only had more than two hundred taels. After all, the county magistrate only had forty-five taels of silver.
But in fact, how could the county magistrate be so small? He hired several masters who paid hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver a year, so after Boluo had levied 90% of the tax, they levied an additional tax to cover the annual tax.
Twenty-three thousand, but fifty thousand was actually levied.
They handed over 20,000 taels to Boluo. They stated that they had kept more than 2,000 taels, but in fact they still had 30,000 taels.
Part of these 30,000 taels is used to make up for government expenses, such as subsidies for subordinate officials and servants, and overexpenditures for post offices. The bulk is still given to officials, and many of them are gifts to superior officials through the county magistrate.
It's with this silver.
Of course, the county magistrate himself would have to keep at least three thousand taels in the end.
No matter how poor you are, you can't poor the county magistrate himself.
After Boluo took away more than 20,000 taels of taxes from the county, the county magistrate levied an additional more than 20,000 taels, and then gave him more than a thousand taels. For other officials at all levels, a few hundred for you and a few for others.
Everyone has a share.
However, for Boluo and others, more money is of no use because too many people have fled, there are floods in the Yellow River area, and the Ming army is constantly harassing Jinan in the western and southern areas of Shandong, plus the loss of Denglai Qingxin
, which made them even worse.
Next door in Denglai, grain is sold for one tael per dan, but in Jinan, the black market price is 8 taels per shi.
This time the Eight Banners were holding back their energy, and young and old men went into battle together, not only to take the initiative to destroy the Shence Army, but also to seize the grain and grass carried by the Ming Army.
If that doesn't work, you can just capture the Shence Army, stew it, roast it and eat it.
If this continues, the Eight Banners will have to kill and eat even its war horses.
The Eight Banners men had never thought of actually attacking Dengzhou. After all, they also knew that Denglai had built many castles and defended them with many cannons, sharp firearms, and gunboats for sea support. They were stronger than the Guanning Army on the Guanning Jin Defense Line in western Liaoning.
too much.
Therefore, they only thought that they could defeat the invading Ming army. If they could take advantage of the situation and enter the Qing and Xin territories, plunder and plunder food, they would be able to return home with a full load.
It is impossible to siege a city and fight a fort. If there is not enough food to support it, how can we fight such a siege of a strong city?
However, the Eight Banners felt very confident in attacking the Shence Army stationed in Zhangqiu on the edge of Jinan and engaging in field battles.
Even if they have been frustrated in the past two years, they will never admit that they cannot defeat the Ming army. It is only because of factors outside the battlefield. If they really have to fight in the field, who can the Eight Banners heroes be afraid of?
Mounting his horse again, Tu Lai galloped toward Zhangqiu with the 3,000 Eight Banners cavalry in the vanguard. The Manchu soldiers on horseback and their swords were already hungry and thirsty.
Finally he could go on a killing spree again.
Of course, there was food to tempt them. Some people even thought that they would roast a few Ming soldiers to eat, so they chose thigh meat.
·······
Zhu Yihai was very relaxed watching the clouds rising and relaxing at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
"So, Bolo is going out of his way to make a desperate move? But it's a pity that he will be disappointed."
As soon as the Boluo soldiers and horses left Jinan, someone had already quickly conveyed this military information. The Ming army's intelligence system has now been penetrated even in Beijing, let alone Jinan in Shandong.
In fact, Zhu Yihai had already expected that the Qing army in Jinan might be tempted to go out of the city to fight.
So he deliberately sent the Shence Army to advance to Zhangqiu before stopping.
Tai'an and Qing Hebei each sent an army, deliberately far apart, so that the Tatars mistakenly thought this was an opportunity to have a fighting chance.
But how could Zhu Yihai be so careless? He sent the Shence Army to Zhangqiu just to fish. The real killing move was the three towns of Jinwu, Qianniu and Yulin that he personally brought.
The troops from Tai'an and Qing Hebei towns were just a cover, deliberately making the Jinan Qing army think they had an opportunity to take advantage of them.
After Shence Town advanced to the Zhangqiu area in advance, the most important task was to send cavalry to blockade, sweep, clean up the battlefield, and block news to prevent the Tatars from obtaining the intelligence that he led the three towns to arrive.
The Tatars thought that only the Shence Town army stood out, but they did not know that Zhu Yihai had already arrived at Changbai Mountain in Zhangqiu.
The elite imperial camps of the four towns totaled 20,000 soldiers, plus 7,200 capable auxiliary soldiers, as well as rebels like Xie Qian, regiment training, and dozens of tens of thousands of people.
In this battle, Zhu Yihai can be said to have very abundant troops.
Not to mention that the Tatars only came with more than 10,000 troops, even if they mobilized all the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army and even the garrison of the Green Camp City, Jinan would not leave a single soldier, and they would not be able to match the Ming army.
Zhu Yihai had already prepared two sets of combat plans from the beginning.
Plan A is to separate the various forces and attack together, meet at the foot of Jinan City, and then launch an siege against the Qing army that cannot retreat. The plan is to encircle the city first, then dig trenches and erect barracks, then build forts and fortresses, bombard them with shells, dig tunnels and blast them.
Attack hard and destroy the Tatars.
Plan B is to deliberately create opportunities, lure the captives to attack, use Shence Town to advance near Jinan to lure them to attack, and then encircle and ambush them, severely damaging or even annihilating the Tatar elite. Then there may be no need to attack Jinan anymore, and the city of Jinan can even be persuaded to surrender.
.
Now Bolo is following Plan B.
"Should we immediately send an order to the two towns of Tai'an and Daqing in Hebei to come here to fight?"
"No, let them go to Jinan and cut off Boluo's return. If we can persuade the Jinan defenders to surrender, it would be best. If not, surround Jinan. If Boluo is defeated, don't let him retreat into the city and let him flee north."
"The two towns of Yulin and Qianniu were deployed to the two wings of Zhangqiu. After Jinwu deployed Zhangqiu City, Boluo's forward came. Don't rush to encircle him first. Be sure to wait for the main force of Boluo to arrive before encircling him. Don't scare Boluo away.
Luo."
"Then Your Majesty?"
"I will also go down the mountain, enter Zhangqiu City, and sit in command with General Jin Gongyu."
"Your Majesty, this is too risky."
"What kind of adventure is this? Zhangqiu is also a big city. What's more, there are tens of thousands of people here. How can we be defeated by thousands of Tatars?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The ministers who accompanied him persuaded them and did not waste any more words. They were all used to the emperor's temper. I thought that when the army first started, this man even mentioned
He who charged directly on the battlefield with a musket on horseback, but now he can sit in the city according to his temper, can be regarded as extremely restrained.
In fact, everyone actually liked this kind of emperor.
The country was in danger. Isn't it because Zhu Yihai, the vassal vassal, who dared to attack and fight, stabilized the banner of the Ming Dynasty?
Like Zhu Youjian, he only knew how to hang himself when the enemy came to kill him. Like Zhu Yousong, when the enemy army was still hundreds of miles away, he had quietly abandoned his subjects and fled. But like Zhu Changzi, when the enemy attacked the city, he But they still hung wine and meat in the city for the Tatar soldiers who were fighting the Ming Dynasty's army. This Ming Dynasty was really dead.
Fortunately, God blessed the Ming Dynasty and gave birth to such an emperor.
Only then can we now reach the vicinity of Jinan in the Northern Expedition, instead of being attacked by the Tatars to Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong or even Yunnan.
Emperor Longqi came down from the mountain and went straight to Zhangqiu City. Jinwu was stationed in the east of the city.
The two towns of Qianniu and Yulin were also stationed on the west wings of the city, hiding behind the Shence Army.
The emperor's dragon flag was not raised in Zhangqiu City, but the soldiers and civilians in the city were all rejoicing and their morale soared.
Li Jinming, Li Jinyi and others who were packing their things and preparing to leave heard the news and came to the street to watch. When they saw the emperor riding into the city and the soldiers and civilians cheering, they couldn't help but be stunned.
After a long time, he returned home.
Call in your brothers and nephews.
"I will postpone my trip to Tokyo. All the men in my family, who are over 16 years old, will go to help defend the city. Also, all the food at home, except for rations, will be used to help the army.
Take another three thousand taels of silver and work for the army.
The younger members of the clan, servants at home, and those who are young and strong and help in the defense will each be rewarded with two taels of silver and three measures of rice."
"Second brother?" Li Jinyi was a little puzzled. "With so many soldiers and horses, how can we help defend the city?"
"It doesn't matter whether you need it or not. Attitude and performance are very important. If you become an official in the future, these are the minimum things you need to understand."
What you want is this posture, what you want is this attitude.
Li Jinming obviously has a better understanding of the world than his brothers.
