Dashun Yongchang

Li Zicheng is still very humane. First, he asked Li Mo if he was used to living in Yangzhou, and then asked him the first question: "You have been in Shenyang, and you have been in Yangzhou for a while. How do you feel about this?" How do the two places feel, to be honest, I just want to hear the truth."

Under Li Zicheng's watchful eyes, Li Wei just weighed in his heart for a moment, and then replied frankly: "Both places are full of vitality, and the people seem to be full of hope for their future. It's just that the people in Shenyang seem to be more There is more etiquette, and the people of Yangzhou are more casual."

Li Zicheng thought for a while, then asked Li Min, "What do you think is the reason for the difference between the people on these two sides?"

After being silent for a long time, Li Luo replied cautiously: "Shenyang has both Manchu and Han divisions, as well as government and civilian divisions. The upper and lower levels are strict, so the people would rather be more polite than disrespectful, because being more polite is just a little more troublesome. If you are rude, you may even lose your life. Yangzhou pays attention to equality, and even officials cannot punish the people for being rude, so the people are free on weekdays."

Li Zicheng looked at him and asked again: "Then do you think that side is better?"

After thinking about the sentence, Li Lu said: "In the past, I liked the atmosphere of Shenyang because the people obeyed the rules. But now I think the people should prefer living in Yangzhou, because there are not so many rules."

Li Zicheng was quite satisfied with this answer. He liked to talk to such a sensible person. If it was the kind of old-fashioned person, then there was no need to talk about it.He laughed a few times before continuing: "You have been in China for about a year, and you have seen what you should see and heard what you should hear, so I plan to send you back to North Korea after the beginning of spring. how do you feel?"

Li Luo was delighted but suppressed his excitement and said to Li Zicheng: "Whether you stay in China or return to North Korea, I will never forget your majesty's instruction. I will obey your majesty's orders."

Li Zicheng waved his hand and said: "You are the king of North Korea, so naturally you should go back to North Korea. I invite you here to let you understand what China is, so that you don't make a wrong choice. Ordinary people make wrong choices." , At most, it only affects yourself, but as a king, if your choice is wrong, it will affect millions of North Korean people.

As the suzerain of Asia, China has been responsible for the education and civilization of leading all regions of Asia from ancient times to the present.If North Korea becomes a country of barbarians, then China will have to take measures to correct North Korea's deviant behavior, and these measures will naturally include all means including the use of force.

Of course, I don't want to use this method to correct North Korea's behavior. This is not a good thing for North Korea, and it is also a burden for the Chinese people.

Therefore, the best way is to let the leaders of North Korea take a look at what civilization is, and then take the initiative to advance on the road of civilization. This is a way to save trouble for both parties. "

Li Min took Li Zicheng's words very seriously. After the Chinese ships approached the port of Pusan, he knew that the country that had always been gentle with North Korea had disappeared. Now the new dynasty that overthrew the Ming Dynasty was almost like a Manchu. A dynasty that likes to use force.In his opinion, Li Zicheng's so-called gentle methods are not gentle at all. The Shun army almost put the cannons under the city of Seoul. How can this be called gentle?

In the face of such superiors who like to use force, it is best to obey the opponent, otherwise they will be humiliated like the Sandadu incident.In the eyes of the Koreans, neither the Liu Bandit nor the Manchu can be regarded as a real superior. Comparing the two, the Manchu may have a higher status, because the Liu Bandit is the traitor who killed Junfu.

It’s just that after staying in Yangzhou for so long, Li Lu felt that it was obviously inappropriate to describe Li Zicheng’s regime as bandits, just as it was inappropriate to describe the Manchus as barbarians, because both of these two forces are likely to unify the world. The North Koreans will only cause trouble for themselves if they are disrespectful.After staying in Shenyang for so long, he didn't think that Dorgon and those Manchu heroes would admit defeat, so it was still difficult to determine who the world belonged to. The only thing he was sure of was that no matter which one it was, North Korea couldn't beat it.

Just when Li Luo was thinking about how to express his determination to Li Zicheng, he heard the other party ask him: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet again after you go back, so some things must be asked clearly now, you just need to follow the instructions." Just answer with your own thoughts."

Li Min hurriedly said: "I know everything, and I can't stop talking."

Li Zicheng then asked: "I heard that you planned to make some changes to North Korea when you returned to Seoul from Shengjing. Is there such a thing?"

Li Luo looked at Li Zicheng's face, but he didn't realize that the other party was angry, so he said with a sigh of relief: "Yes, since the two random incidents, North Korea has been in chaos.

As long as there is a family background, people without talent can easily pass the imperial examination.People without family background, no matter how talented they are, they will not be able to pass the exam.The people have been busy for a whole year, but they can't even eat enough, and they have to prepare various tributes for the nobles.

The two groups of nobles are sitting on real estate in various places, spending their days drinking and drinking, but they can't avoid it when they encounter problems, and they have no thought of taking responsibility.Although the clan clan has a noble status, under the control of the two classes, some people's life is worse than that of ordinary people, and some people have become tools in the hands of treasonous ministers.

If such a North Korea does not change, I think that the country will not be far from subjugation. "

Li Zicheng looked at him and asked without changing his expression: "What about now? Do you still want to change North Korea?"

Li Luo nodded in agreement, and said: "The situation in North Korea has not changed, so naturally it should be changed. This is what I say from the bottom of my heart, and it is by no means an exaggeration."

Li Zicheng then asked again: "Then after returning to China, where do you plan to start to change?"

Li Min thought for a while and said: "Start with the imperial examinations, select truly talented people, and then reduce the privileges of the two classes to give the common people a rest..."

After hearing Li Luo's reform ideas, Li Zicheng smiled and refused to comment. After all, he is still reformist from the standpoint of the two classes of nobles. Obviously, such reforms are unlikely to succeed.However, for Dashun, a king of Joseon who wants to change is necessary, because only a king of Joseon who wants to change can Dashun carry out the necessary transformation of North Korea so that North Korea can meet Dashun's needs.

Li Zicheng then said: "It is indeed a good thing for the Korean people that you have such an idea. As the suzerain of North Korea, I am also very willing to help you.

I thought that it would be very difficult to force the two classes to give in and agree to the reform with your own strength. Only with the help of Shangguo, those two classes of nobles would not be able to continue to compete with you.

First of all, you said that you need to cultivate talents. I think this is correct. You can’t do anything without people. Without reliable people, you can’t promote your reform ideas.But relying on imperial examinations alone, it may be difficult to obtain any useful talents from the people. In my opinion, North Korea should establish a school system, and you should train those talents who support you.

In addition, North Korea's two groups are deeply rooted, and if you want to attack them, you have to cut some officials out of this interest group.I suggest you to set up an independent Yushitai and give Yushitai independent procuratorial and personnel powers. Officials in Yushitai must pass the judicial examination.As for North Korea's legal provisions and judicial education, why don't I send a few officials to serve as advisors to you, and let them help you rebuild North Korea's judicial system and formulate laws that meet the standards of the previous country..."

Li Min was stunned when he heard this. Li Zicheng's suggestion was equivalent to taking away the judicial power of North Korea. Although the two classes of nobles in North Korea were domineering, would it be better if the judicial power was given to Shangguo?He hesitated a little.

After waiting for a while, Li Zicheng said impatiently: "Don't think that I have any plans for North Korea. If that is the case, I will not only want a judiciary. The reason why I want to change the judiciary of North Korea is that I don't want In the future, North Korean officials will continue to boldly attack foreign drifters.

Moreover, in the future, China will go to North Korea, and North Korea will have more exchanges between business people and people in China, which will inevitably cause some commercial and civil disputes. This requires the judicial agencies of the two countries to coordinate. If the judicial officials of both sides do not understand each other's legal provisions, And how to mediate disputes between the people of the two countries?

You keep saying that you want to change North Korea, but you dare to change even a single judicial system. How can I believe that you will maintain the relationship between the two countries after you return to North Korea?You are not my only choice, but I am your only choice, and I think you should know that. "

In the tangled mood, Li Mo understood at this moment why his father said that North Korea could survive because he was too weak, and any move to strengthen North Korea would be digging his own grave.In the end, he did not dare to reject Li Zicheng's suggestion, and decided to accept Dashun's help to rebuild the judicial system and sort out a new code of law for North Korea. In addition, Li Luo decided to borrow 500 million yuan from Dashun to establish the currency system of North Korea. .

Although Li Lu wanted to establish the same currency system as China, he really didn't want to borrow so much money.But Li Zicheng just reminded him a word, and he changed his mind.Because Li Zicheng said to him: "The more debts you have, the more afraid those two classes are to deal with you, because to deal with you is to fight against Shangguo. And you want to go back to take over the throne, and you don't bring some money back to buy people's hearts. How can people support you?"

Chapter 572

That's what he said, but after Li Mo signed the loan contract from the central bank, he found that someone would come to him soon and sell him arms, ships and various technical talents.He felt that everyone who came to the door to sell could not afford to offend, so he soon found that his loan was almost spent.

However, when he returned to North Korea in March, he also got five ships full of goods and hired talents.When boarding the boat and watching Yangzhou gradually go away behind him, Li Luo didn't know whether he had won or lost.

Jin Zhi, who came to the wharf to see Li Luo off, was in a good mood, and said to Yang Shun beside him, "This prince is really a good man, if overseas vassal kings are all such good people, our bank's business will be much easier. .”

Yang Shun was still a little uneasy and said, "Aren't we earning too much from this business? What if this guy figured it out after he went back and didn't pay back the money?"

Jin Zhi replied without any nervousness: "The shareholders of our bank include His Majesty and all the princes. Even if he becomes the king of Joseon, he will not be able to renege on his debts. The question now is how much oil and water can be squeezed out of North Korea. We always You can’t bring rice from North Korea to China.”

Yang Shun thought for a while and said: "Actually, isn't the most valuable thing in North Korea is its people? It needs people to develop overseas wasteland, and the death rate of immigrants on those islands in Nanyang is still quite high. The Spaniards and the Dutch originally wanted to develop Both Batavia and Manila have arrested us Chinese. It is said that the death rate of new immigrants can reach more than half, but after the development is completed, the death rate is greatly reduced.

Therefore, we can definitely recruit a group of people from North Korea to open up wasteland, and then immigrate the people in the country after they finish opening up the wasteland, so that the death rate of our immigrants can be greatly reduced..."

Several young people with packages on their backs followed a middle-aged man who passed Jin Zhi and Yang Shun and walked towards the pier.The middle-aged man said to the young man behind him: "...Taiwan is a place to make money now. You can only earn twenty or thirty yuan a day working in the countryside, but in Taiwan you can do the simplest manual work, and you can earn money in a day." Take 300 Wen, save a little money to rent a river section to pan for gold, if you are lucky, you can earn a year's work and food in one day..."

Hearing the words in his ears, Jin Zhi couldn't help but smile. These people who want to make money overseas are actually making money for the bank.Because all overseas colonial companies have bank investments or loans, this means that everyone who goes to sea to make a fortune, no matter what they do to make money, has to pay part of it to the bank.

Yang Shun, who was behind Jin Zhi, waited for the people who went to sea to go far away before he couldn't help saying: "Now more and more people want to go to sea to seek a living, especially there are so many people coming from Fengyang. Why don't they Are you not worried about overseas risks?"

Jin Zhi laughed and said, "Where in the world are we businessmen afraid to go in order to make money? These country people can only live on a few acres of land, but if they go overseas, they may be able to buy a few when they come back. Ten acres of land has become a small landlord. It's not that they don't know the risks, but they are more afraid of being poor.

In Fengyang, there are already people who have made a fortune overseas and returned to become landlords. Naturally, some people want to follow the path of fellow villagers to change their destiny.This is a great thing for us. The more people who run out, the more people will ask us for loans. We can also provide them with cheap production tools and daily necessities, so that they can borrow more money. The money was recovered..."

Just when Jin Zhi was happy about the increase in the number of people going overseas to work, Li Zicheng was also riding a horse-drawn bus from the railway station under Pingshan Hall to Yangzhou University, the core of Yangzhou New City.In fact, this railway has been built all the way to Yizheng, with a total length of 27 kilometers. It took nearly a year to complete the construction, mainly because the construction of several stone bridges delayed the construction period.

This railway used 4 tons of cast iron, which happened to be about [-]% of the output of the Liguo Iron Works last year.However, with the opening of the transportation channels between the factory area and various mines, the output of Liguo Iron Works has begun to increase rapidly. This year's output should be more than double that of last year.

However, although Dashun has been encouraging the steel industry and the coal industry, the price of pig iron is still maintained at a high level of 80 taels per ton.The reason is that the development of the coal industry and the steel industry both need iron tools, that is, in order to increase the output of coal and steel, the input of steel and coal is more amazing than the output.

The military industry, the tools used in land reclamation, the railways and docks, and the shipbuilding industry are all full of demand for steel.Therefore, for the current Dashun, the steel demand market is like a bottomless pit, and it can swallow as much steel as it throws into this bottomless pit.

Li Zicheng, who was sitting in the carriage, looked out the window. There was only him and a secretary in the carriage, so he seemed very quiet. He arranged the women in the second carriage.Because he really couldn't decide who to bring with him to appear in public, so he had no choice but to choose not to bring any of them.

There are almost no people along the railway line. Outside the drainage ditches on both sides of the railway and the small road protection forests, there are almost fields, and occasionally a few huts appear. It is not until the moat is passed that there is a piece of flattened land. , half-storey houses have been built on some land, and only some wood can be seen on some land.But the further south you go, the buildings start to get denser, and some roads have been built horizontally and vertically.

Li Zicheng withdrew his eyes from watching the scenery, and asked the secretary opposite: "Chengzhi, what do you think of this railway?"

Qian Chengzhi thought for a while and replied: "It is indeed a very useful mode of transportation, but it is a bit more expensive to build. But if a few of them are built in Jiangnan, they should be welcomed by the people.

Although the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense and it is convenient for boats to travel, the boats travel too slowly, and the curved river often takes a circle to reach the destination.If railways can be built between Nanjing, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Hangzhou, the travel time can be greatly reduced, and the risk of travelers being robbed by lake bandits can be eliminated.

People in Jiangnan should also be willing to spend more money to save time, after all, the risk of spending the night in the wild is too great..."

Li Zicheng was very satisfied with these proposals. He said to his secretary: "You are right. It seems that it was right to ask you to supervise the construction of this railway last year. What I actually want to tell you is that I also think that the railway This thing will be popular in the world, so I plan to set up a railway bureau in the Ministry of Communications, I wonder if you are willing to accept this position."

Qian Chengzhi didn't immediately agree, but asked Li Zicheng, "Is Your Majesty planning to build a railway?"

Li Zicheng nodded and said, "Now that the price of iron remains high, the military and the government are dissatisfied, and they think it is caused by the construction of the railway. However, I think that the price of iron remains high, which is actually good for the steel mills. Because it will stimulate the factories to produce more iron, which will increase our steel output. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the railway construction."

Here, Li Zicheng paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although we lack talents to build railways, it is not without them. But officials who plan railways and supervise construction are indeed rare. So I hope you can have a serious understanding of the Jiangnan area." survey, and then plan out the necessary places for railway construction..."

Although Qian Chengzhi still didn't speak, he didn't refuse Li Zicheng's request either.After going through a lot of trouble in road construction last year, he knew that this was quite a tough job.Facing Qian Chengzhi who wanted to go home and think about it, Li Zicheng didn't ask any more questions, because there was really no rush.

When the carriage stopped steadily, what Li Zicheng got out of the carriage saw was the signboard of Yangzhou University.He should have written these words in his own hand, but Li Zicheng knew that his handwriting was too stinky to handle, so he asked someone to write these words on his behalf.

Gu Yanwu and some teachers and students stood outside the university gate to greet each other. Li Zicheng went up to greet Gu Yanwu, and then entered the school accompanied by Gu Yanwu.Today is also the day of the opening ceremony of Yangzhou University. It can be said that Li Zicheng came to this ceremony specially.

At the opening ceremony, Gu Yanwu suggested that Li Zicheng should give a speech on stage, so as to improve the relationship between Li Zicheng and the students.Li Zicheng walked up to the stage without hesitation.

He glanced at the officials and students sitting below, and did not follow the speech script given to him by the secretary.He cleared his throat and said to the people below: "Someone said that a university does not mean that there are buildings, but that there are masters. I quite agree with this statement.

However, I believe that a university should cultivate at least three kinds of people. The first type is those who build the country, the second type is those who sing praises for the imperial court, and the third type is the imperial court's rebels.

If a university cannot educate rebels, it means that the university has no innovative spirit.If you can't even educate people who sing praises for the imperial court, it means that this society has become so depraved that people can't stand it.As for saying that you can’t educate people who can build a country, this can only prove one thing, this country has reached the most critical moment, what students need to do is to save this country first..."

Li Zicheng's speech made Gu Yanwu and other school officials speechless, but the students sitting in the audience responded enthusiastically to Li Zicheng's words.

When Li Zicheng delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of Yangzhou University, Xie Qian's rebel army broke through the Zichuan Stone City under the cover of Ding Keze, a Zichuan native.The reason why Ding Keze was willing to respond internally for Xie Qian was because his father was insulted by Terry, the nephew of the former Ming University scholar and chief assistant Zhang Zhifa, when his father died. He couldn't bear the anger and contacted the rebel army.This also made it easy for Xie Qian to break through Zichuan City.

The geographical location of Zichuan City is important, so Xie Qian stayed in the city for a few days before hearing that Kong Youde and other troops had come to kill him.He still wanted to defend the city at the beginning. After all, although Zichuan City is small because it is a stone city, its defense is quite good.But Kong Youde personally led troops to attack him, and the city could not be defended.

Chapter 573 Beijing's Dilemma

Xie Qian finally withdrew the people of Zichuan City to Yanshen Town. Although Kong Youde regained Zichuan, he did not dare to continue to pursue Yanshen Town, because the Shun Army had already sent troops to meet Xie Qian in Yanshen Town.

Yanshen Town itself is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a condescending terrain.The last time the Qing army was able to easily occupy this place, it was only because the Ming army had disintegrated and the Shun army did not actually rule here. Facing the imposing Qing army, the Shun army finally withdrew most of its personnel and left Yanshen Town to the defeated the Qing army.

But today is different, the Shun army has formally established political power in Xuzhou, Henan, and Huaiyang, and the people have begun to attach themselves to this new regime, so the people in Shandong have a backbone.They already had the feeling that even if the Qing army came over, it would be fine, the Shun army would protect themselves, and even if they were unable to fight for a while, His Majesty Yongchang would not ignore them and would transfer them to the rear.

These cognitions of the common people come from Dashun’s compensation actions for war refugees in the past few years. In the past, although Da Ming took care of war refugees, it did not form a law. Responsibility.

Therefore, the suffering people can only pray that the emperor will not forget their own people, but there is nothing they can do about those corrupt officials embezzling the money and food for their relief, because they will never know how much money and food the court will send for relief.

But in this new country, the people whose homes were destroyed due to the war can apply to the court for compensation according to the law, and there are standards for such compensation. If officials have too much corruption, they can report to their superiors of.

It is impossible for officials and subordinate staff not to be corrupt at all. This kind of corruption is even acquiesced by those people who have been deducted relief money and food. They just hope that officials and subordinate staff will not be too greedy and spend most of the relief money and food Put it all in your pocket.

Li Zicheng made it very clear about the source of the relief money and food. This is not a gift from the court, but the return that the people should get after paying taxes.Conversely, he also linked taxation with national fiscal expenditures, and no longer regarded taxation as a source of entertainment for emperors and vassals. This is exactly the way Donglin Party members used to stigmatize national taxation.

After the Donglin party members annexed a large amount of land and mastered large and small businesses, it can be said that they controlled all the financial resources of the country in their own hands.Because they don't need to be responsible for the survival of the country, this is the responsibility of the emperor, which makes the Donglin party members firmly oppose any tax increase in national taxation.In name, it is to reduce taxes for the people, but in essence the biggest beneficiary is themselves.

Although ordinary people do not completely understand it, they also know that it is unfair for the gentry to occupy a large amount of land but pay less tax than themselves, but they can only stand on the side of the gentry when it comes to the court's absolutely fair taxation method Those who oppose tax increases, because this kind of fair taxation is just a drop in the bucket for the gentry, but for them it is tantamount to stepping into the brink of bankruptcy.

Since Li Zicheng went south, he has actually been doing two things in internal affairs. One is to link the national tax revenue with the national fiscal expenditure and implement a budget and final account system; What, relief for war refugees is part of this propaganda.

After three years of publicity and education, the people in Shandong, Henan and other places first accepted this kind of propaganda, and began to think that national taxation should be "taken from the people and used for the people". It's a bit short.In the imperial council, which gradually became a political pole, the northern and southern parliamentarians were always opposed to each other on tax issues.

Northern congressmen believe that the rich should be taxed more and the poor should be taxed less, while southern congressmen believe that according to the principle of equality for all, equal taxation should be adopted within a country.In the beginning, the northern congressmen never worked as southern congressmen, because the principle of equality for all proposed by the southern congressmen was quite attractive, and even the people in the north supported it.

Later, Ruan Dacheng put forward the concept of defending freedom, thinking that everyone is responsible for defending freedom, and if the poor shed blood to defend freedom, then the rich should pay for defending freedom.The concept of blood tax proposed by Ruan Dacheng immediately won the approval of the northern councilors, so the northern councilors reversed the situation in the meeting, and Ruan Dacheng was even more hated by Qingliu in the south.

Li Zicheng also praised Ruan Dacheng's speech at the meeting, calling him a "free lion".Ruan Dacheng's reputation began to improve in the north, and the people in the north believed that he was not the so-called "eunuch".

When the people in Shandong and Henan gradually turned their hearts to Dashun, the Manchu rule in Hebei and Shandong did not make much progress. Going home to open up the Mongolian wasteland is not an upward behavior in itself.

Li Zicheng called on the people in the south to colonize the sea, but not many people responded. Except for a large number of criminals who were exiled, only a few farmers who really had no way out in the mainland were willing to sign a contract to colonize overseas for a few years for the colonial company. Most of them went overseas. They are all engaged in the gold mining industry or short-term laborers.

As a result, companies such as Lianghuai Salt Company and Taiwan Sugar Company that develop overseas colonization business have now begun to pay local governments to buy criminals.That is to say, if the government distributes the exiles to the company, they will provide financial support to the government according to their head.

This model was condemned when it first appeared, because those officials and subordinates might treat homeless people as criminals and exile them in order to make money, but soon everyone discovered that such behaviors might be condemned, but objectively However, social order is rapidly improving.When homeless people in various places can't settle down, they either die on the street or fight to the death. This is also the root cause of the difficulty in stabilizing the social order in various places.

The origin of these vagrants is quite complicated, but they still cannot escape wars and natural disasters. Although Dashun has unified the part of China that was ruled by the Qing Dynasty in name, a truly powerful dynasty has not been established.In places like Jiangxi and Hunan alone, Dashun is beyond his power. He can only suppress the big rebel groups. As for those small local tyrants, as long as they can maintain their superficial obedience, Dashun can only turn a blind eye. .

And these small local tyrants, their way of ruling the place is no different from the local tyrants in Henan. Their private fights and plunder of ordinary people have forced many people to flee their hometowns.Jiangnan is the first area to settle down, and the refugees will naturally wander in this direction.

Skilled craftsmen or attractive women and girls may still find a way to survive in the south of the Yangtze River, but those young and strong without skills, unless they go to work as coolies, they can only beg on the street or do side business.Being a coolie in this era is worse than being a farmer, because there are only a few days of busy farming in a year, and working as a coolie is almost every day the labor intensity of busy farming.

Under the harsh exile order, these homeless people were either forcibly sent overseas to colonize, or they were forced to work in workshops and docks. There were fewer idlers on the streets, and the social order stabilized.Due to an objectively good result, public criticism of the exile order began to gradually decrease.

The land reclamation outside the customs in the north is essentially no different from the overseas colonization in the south. They are all forced labor of landless peasants.The only difference is that the outside of the customs and the inside of the customs can be connected by land, and the Qing government did not intend to allow these people to mine in Mongolia to make a fortune, so the Qing government could not correct public opinion like Dashun, distorting overseas colonization as an opportunity for the poor to change their destiny. There are a lot of promotions overseas and there are gold and silver mountains.

As a result, most of the people in the pass under the Qing government did not agree with the Manchu regime. Although Kong Youde and other Han Chinese vassals occupied a piece of territory, they were unable to fight any large-scale war with the Shun army.After Xie Qian retreated to Yanshen Town and relied on the support of the Shun Army, Kong Youde could only establish a defense line in Zichuan City to prevent the Shun Army from rushing into the plain from the mountains.

The Zichuan uprising this time dealt a heavy blow to the Han gentry and landlords who supported the Qing Dynasty. Not only Zhang Zhifa’s family was vented, but the imperial envoy and governor of Shandong and other places supervised the military affairs of Yingtian and the governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Executed, Sun Zhixie's family was executed.The gentry in Zichuan were almost wiped out, which greatly shocked the gentry and officialdom in Shandong.

Although Sun Zhixie's hair-shaving order proposed in this time and space did not win the support of Dorgon, after all, the Qing army did not achieve complete military victory, but Sun Zhixie took the initiative to shave his hair and make clothes easier, which made Xie Qianyi's army especially hate him. .So after taking down Zichuan City, he searched Sun's mansion first, but Sun Zhixie was still stubborn at this time and refused to plead guilty and surrender, which eventually hurt his family.

Although the rebel army organized by Xie Qian was not in the order of the Shun Army, Xie Qian had already received the canonization of Dashun and studied in the Xuzhou Military Academy, so Xie Qian's actions were naturally considered by the Qing army to be the actions of the Shun Army .The Qing army never felt guilty for killing the common people, but they were extremely indignant at the actions of the Shun army that killed the gentry. division.

Originally, the relationship between the Qing army and the Shun army had been easing, but the tension became renewed because of the Zichuan uprising.However, whether it is Yangzhou or Beijing, both sides have strengthened their defenses, but neither has the desire to take the initiative to attack.

In Beijing, Duduo couldn't understand Dorgon's operations, so he went to Dorgon's palace to question him, "We don't have the strength to go south at this time. It is meaningful to create a fighting atmosphere for the Heshun army at this time." ?"

Dorgon looked down at the memorial and replied: "So many gentry have been killed, we must have an attitude. If those Han officials think that we can no longer protect them, will they continue to be loyal to us?"

Chapter 574 Seeking Foreign Aid

"Besides, since the establishment of Han feudal towns, these Han people have private contacts with the Shun army in addition to recruiting troops. If they are allowed to continue doing nothing like this, I am afraid that these people will rebel again sooner or later. Let this incident play up our relationship with Dashun. The fighting atmosphere between the Han people and the Shun army made each other suspicious, and it was also conducive to the stability of the Han officials, wouldn't it?"

After hearing Dorgon's words, Duo Duo didn't find any flaws, but he still said with some anxiety: "Is there a war or a peace between us and Dashun? If this drags on, I'm afraid it will be detrimental in the end." our."

Dorgon finally put down the memorial he was approving, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the roof and thought for a while before saying: "I don't want to procrastinate, but what should I do if I don't wait?" Are we going to start a big army and fight Li Zicheng again?

When they first entered the customs, the Han people themselves were in a state of confusion. They felt that Li Zicheng had no destiny, and they were afraid of the military power of the dynasty, so they couldn't wait to join the dynasty.At that time, the court didn't have to worry about driving these Han people, because these people had neither the strength to stand on their own nor the belief in defending Ming Dynasty, they were just a group of loose sand.

It seems that there are hundreds of thousands of frontier troops who surrendered to us, but if you look at it in detail, there are only tens of thousands of people who can really fight.
