The assistant minister, Prince Jingjin, came out of Beijing, Xingchi Guanzhong proclaimed Wu Sangui as the King of Pingxi, permanently controlled Shaanxi and Gansu, opened a vassal and established a government, and dispatched him to send troops to Huguang.
When he left the capital, the emperor's uncle, the regent Jierhalang, issued a decree. Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army, was granted the title of Gushan Ezhen of the Han Army's Zhenghuang Banner. He was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy censor of the capital, and the governor of Shanxi Xuanda Military Affairs.
Admiral oversees food and salary, pays homage to the Duke of the country, and adds the crown prince as his guardian.
Meng Qiaofang became the Minister of the Ministry of War, moved to the governorship of Huguang, became the crown prince and Taibao, and paid homage to the Duke of Chu.
"The Tartars also invited Zu Dashou out?"
"Shit, just in name, how could the Tatars believe that the ancestor's birthday was celebrated, but now they wanted to use Wu Sangui's Guan Ningjun, and they were afraid that Wu Sangui would not listen to the order, so they invited Guan Ningjun's ancestor, the ancestor's birthday.
"
In the city of Beijing, a small shop on the west side of the street.
Lao Song and the four brothers of the Song family were talking behind closed doors.
When it comes to Zu Dashou, Song Heng's face is full of disdain. If Zu Dashou is said to be a general of Liaodong generations, under Yuan Chonghuan's strategy of governing Liao Dynasty with Liao people to guard Liao land and Liao land to support Liao people, the Chongzhen Dynasty gathered the power of the whole country to create a
The Liao Army is also commonly known as the Guan Ning Army because it is stationed at the Guan Ning Jin Defense Line.
Zu Dashou was a general in Liaodong and had a reputation for bravery, so he was reused by Yuan Chonghuan. When Nurhaci attacked Ningyuan, Zu Dashou participated in the battle. Yuan Chonghuan officially took charge of Liaodong and directly asked Zu Dashou to guard Jinzhou and bear the seal of Liao's forward general.
Wu Xiang, another general in Liaodong, married Zu Dashou's sister after his wife died, so Wu Sangui, the son of his first wife, was also called Zu Dashou's uncle.
Yuan Chonghuan had great trust in Zu Dashou and placed great emphasis on the generals of Liaodong. However, later Huang Taiji was unable to capture Jinzhou and Ningyuan, so he took a detour and entered the pass to attack Beijing. Yuan Chonghuan's Guan-Ningjin defense line was bypassed, and there were police in the capital. Yuan Chonghuan
We had no choice but to quickly lead troops to protect the king.
But the young Emperor Chongzhen quit. You said that in the five years of Ping Liao, you have to give money to people, people to people, and officials to officials. As a result, the whole country has done this?
You have so many soldiers and horses, why did you let the Tatars run directly to the city of Beijing?
Chongzhen, who was suspicious by nature, immediately put Yuan Chonghuan in jail. When Zu Dashou saw it, he was so frightened that he ran away with Guan Ningjun. Chongzhen quickly sent people to chase him and tried to comfort him in every possible way. But after Yuan Chonghuan died, Zu Dashou no longer believed in the emperor and would never
Leave the military camp.
In the Battle of Daling River, Zu Dashou was besieged in the city for several months, and finally all the civilians were eaten up. He could not break out after many attempts, and no reinforcements came. In the end, he had to accept the Tatars' persuasion to surrender, and Kaicheng surrendered.
But after the surrender, Zu Dashou said that his wife and children were in Jinzhou and he was willing to bring a force back to Jinzhou to respond. Huang Taiji happily agreed, but as soon as Zu Dashou left, it became a kite with broken strings.
Chongzhen praised Zu Dashou for his false surrender and called him to the capital several times to commend him in person. However, Zu Dashou refused to move. Not only did he not trust Huang Taiji, he also couldn't trust Chongzhen at all.
In the Battle of Mianjin, hundreds of thousands of elite Ming troops were defeated by the Qing army. Zu Dashou was besieged again in Jinzhou for more than a year. He once again attacked people and defended the city. In the end, he had no help but surrendered again.
After the second surrender, Huang Taiji did not kill him and gave him the title of General Soldier with a Yellow Banner. However, he no longer trusted and used him and stayed in Beijing. After the Qing army entered the pass, Dorgon also deliberately brought him to the capital.
Raised in Beijing.
His nephew Wu Sangui had a prosperous official career and was granted the title of King Pingxi. Several of his adopted sons even served as commander-in-chief and admiral. However, Zu Dashou could only hold the rank of commander-in-chief and had been 'recuperating' in the capital.
Historically, Zu Dashou stayed in Beijing until his death, and was never employed again, promoted, or knighted.
However, Zu Dashou had a high prestige among the Han generals who were surrendered. In the early Qing Dynasty, the two major groups of Han generals who were surrendered were the Dongjiang Group headed by Sanshun Wang Kong Youde and others, and the Guanning Group headed by Zu Dashou Wu Sangui.
These two troops are the main forward forces among the Tatars. They have made great contributions to the Tatars' destruction of the Ming Dynasty and are deeply trusted.
Those who can be knighted are basically people from these two mountains.
Therefore, even if the Tatars did not trust Zu Dashou, but were afraid of Zu Dashou, they still had to hold his nose and caress him, and did not dare to chop him with a knife.
"Although Zu Dashou paid homage to the Governor-General Xuanda, he neither went to Xuanhua, Datong, nor Shanxi. He was still in Zu's house in Beijing. His adopted son Zu Kefa, nephew Zu Zerun, and three
His own sons, Zepu, Zehong and Zeqing, were all granted the title of first-class marquis, and each was awarded the title of admiral, commander-in-chief, and so on.
The one who really went to Shanxi was Shi Tingzhu, who was granted the title of Duke of Jin, Prince Taifu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and was appointed governor of Shanxi. Tong Yangdai was the deputy capital commander stationed in Taiyuan, and his younger brother Tong Yanghe was the deputy capital commander stationed in Datong.
The second son of the regent Ji'erharang was promoted to Prince Fengjian, and the third son Ledu was promoted to Prince Fengmin, each with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Mele Zhangjing Ahanikan and Shuo Zhan were the deputy generals, respectively leading the left and right wings, and commanding Xuanda.
Shanxi soldiers and horses."
"Aren't these two sons of Jilharang old?"
"The second child is only in his early twenties, and the third child is only sixteen or seventeen years old."
Speaking of this, Lao Song was even more disdainful, and the Tatars were exhausted. The three brothers Dorgon, Duduo, and Azig were killed by their own people, and then Hauge was also killed by them. Daishan died of old age.
Bolo died in battle, how many people in the clan can fight?
Luck Dehun said he could fight, but he was surrounded in Yingzhou and couldn't move.
The Manchu warrior Obai was also trapped in the Qinling Mountains.
Ji'erharang took over the power of regent. During this period, he granted the title of a bunch of princes and princes. Daishan's eight sons were granted the title of five princes, two of whom were only five years old.
Ji'erharang did not miss this opportunity. Regardless of his age, the three sons who were over sixteen years old were all crowned princes, and those who were several years old were also crowned county princes.
This is a perfect sign of national subjugation.
Now Jierharang is based in Beijing and is preparing to move the capital to Chengde.
Auxiliary Prince Nikan Jingjin went to Huguang to take charge of the situation, and Jierhalang asked Ahanikan and Shuozhan to assist his two sons in guarding Shanxi.
Prince Yue Le, the auxiliary governor of An, was stationed in Beijing and Tianjin.
······
Zhang Ji, the governor of Shanxi Province, was promoted.
In less than two years since he took office, he had already made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Seeing that the situation was not good, he planned to resign and wash his hands of the situation. Who knew that the imperial court had decided that he would be promoted to Shanxi Chief Envoy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The new governor Shi Tingzhu is also an old acquaintance. He was originally stationed in Taiyuan. When Jiang Xiang rebelled in Datong, Shi Tingzhu crusaded from Yuele and led his troops to recover Hunyuan, Taigu, Shuozhou and Fen.
Prefecture and other places, he was promoted to nobility due to military merit, first stationed in Datong, and then moved to Taiyuan.
Although the official titles after entering the customs were not as good as those of Wu Sangui and others, in terms of qualifications, he was definitely an old traitor. He was originally a guard of Guangning Guards in the Ming Dynasty. In the second year of Tianqi, Wang Huazhen lost Guangning Guards, Shi Tingzhu and Sun Degong, Jin Li and others were demoted to the post.
Jin, awarded the guerrilla job.
He said that he was originally a Jurchen Guarjia family, just like the Tong family. The Tong family also said that their family was originally a Jurchen Tongjia family, but their ancestors later mixed with Han people in Liaodong, so they changed their surname to Han.
Please return your old surname, but Nurhachi ignored it.
However, after Shi Tingzhu was surrendered, he was resourceful and resourceful, and he was clever in dealing with situations. He experienced three dynasties and made great achievements in battle. Even when the Han army flag was first established, he and Ma Guangyuan led two wings. Later, when it became four flags, they also led two flags.
Although later a major case was triggered because Duduo wanted to take the daughter of his ex-wife as a concubine, which caused many princes and generals to be reprimanded and demoted, but after all, they were senior, and Duduo even married his daughter to his son.
.
Now that the situation was critical, Jierhalang also put this old traitor to use and asked him to decorate the mountain with a red flag and serve as the governor of Shanxi. In fact, he was the governor-general and governor, and he was also given the title of Duke.
He was chosen to patrol Shanxi because he made great military achievements in Shanxi when he defeated Jiang Xiang. He slaughtered several cities, wiped out many rebels, and was stationed in Shanxi for a long time. So he was chosen to patrol Shanxi.
Zhang Ji used to work for Shanxi Grain Road, and secretly engaged in grain smuggling business, and even did horse fur and other smuggling business with eight major Shanxi merchants. In fact, Shi Tingzhu was one of them.
Not only should filial piety be allocated, but also shares should be given.
Now that Shi Tingzhu was directly promoted from a garrison general to a governor, he took control of the military and political affairs. Of course, he immediately thought of Zhang Ji. He had given him a lot of money in the past two years. Through Zhang Ji's white gloves, he had made a lot of money. So there was no need for Zhang Ji at all.
Ji offered bribes and gifts, so he directly recommended Zhang Ji to Beijing, saying that he was extremely capable and had a good reputation for ethics.
Beijing couldn't care about the local area at this time. If Shi Tingzhu recommended it, let the Ministry of Personnel appoint him.
Liangdao was promoted to chief envoy, which was a leapfrog promotion.
Due to the tense situation, the imperial court even asked Zhang Ji to take up his post in Shanxi directly without going to the capital to express gratitude to the emperor and regent, or going to the Ministry of Personnel to go through the formalities.
But Zhang Ji is a sensible person.
You don’t have to go to the capital, but the gift you should give cannot be less.
This was the secret to his successful official career. He was an expert at giving gifts, so he took out his secret notebook and began to draw up a gift list.
Soon, the list was drawn up, and he checked it carefully for a long time. Finally, he calculated that everything in the capital had to be organized, and at least a gift of fifteen thousand taels of silver had to be given.
People don’t have to go, but the ceremony must come.
If any yamen in Beijing were to miss one, there would be big problems.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ji planned to add 5,000 taels and prepare 20,000 taels of silver for distribution. He called his son and a confidant master and asked him to bring 20,000 taels of silver to Beijing for distribution.
"This is three thousand taels of silver. I will give you additional expenses on the road and in Beijing. I will also give you a team of servants to protect you. Don't delay on your journey. Be careful and be sure to arrive in Beijing as soon as possible to get things done!"
He also wrote many letters and asked his son to take them to Beijing.
After sending his son away, he began to draw up another list of gifts for Shanxi Shanxi officials. Although he was promoted to the chief envoy, there were still many mothers-in-law above him, including governors, governors, inspectors, and Manchu and Han generals stationed there.
Wait, everything needs to be sorted out.
Even the officers and soldiers of each battalion had to prepare pens and coins.
But Shi Tingzhu, the new governor's old friend, had to show more filial piety.
After getting the new job this time, the money was spent like water, but Zhang Ji didn't feel bad anymore, let alone borrowing money. He now had money in hand, and with this new job, he would continue to make money in the future.
Although it is not as important as the position of the grain road, as long as his network is still there and the chief minister is in office, this business will continue to be done.
After drawing up a gift list of 10,000 taels of silver, he thought for a while and then prepared another 8,000 taels of silver.
These eight thousand taels were specially prepared to be given to Tu Guobao, Ma Guozhu, Yang Guowei, Zhang Ding and other partners in the east of Taihang Mountain. Without them, he would not have been able to earn so much money from this business.
After sitting there and thinking carefully for a while, he decided to go to see Shi Tingzhu first, and then go out to Jingxing to secretly visit Bao Zhu and Zhu Guozhu of the Earth Kingdom in person.
Zhang Ji didn't care too much whether he was the governor or the chief envoy. What he cared about was making money. The Qing Dynasty was about to die, so he had to make more money quickly and build a good relationship with them, and he could still do it.
