Chapter 325 Jin Shenghuan's Careful Thoughts
Just as Zhang Jiayu from Nan'an Prefecture was about to set off, Jin Shenghuan from Ganzhou Prefecture, a hundred miles away, was also about to set out to attack Nan'an.
Jin Shenghuan followed Zuo Liangyu to Huguang and was stationed in Huguang. In the first year of Hongguang, when Zuo Liangyu raised his flag and went south to the Qing dynasty, Jin Shenghuan also followed Zuo Liangyu to the south. Unexpectedly, Zuo Liangyu died of illness in Jiujiang area, so Jin Shengheng followed Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in Dongliu County.
Prince Ying of Manchu, Ajige, ordered Zuo Menggen to lead his generals to Beijing to pay a visit. Jin Shenghuan was afraid of losing his military power, so he asked to lead his troops to collect Jiangxi and expand territory for the Qing Dynasty. With Ajige's approval, he was awarded the title of military commander of the Jiangxi province.
In the middle of the general of the Dashun Army, Wang Ti, who was in the middle of the kingdom, was under Bai Wang, who was guarding De'an in the Dashun Army. In May of the first year of Hongguang, Li Zicheng suddenly died. Chaos occurred within the Dashun Army. Wang Tizhong took the opportunity to kill Bai Wang, led his troops to surrender to Ajige, and was awarded the position of deputy general.
In late May, Jin and Wang arrived in Jiujiang and sent people to Nanchang with their licenses, claiming that more than 200,000 Manchu soldiers were coming soon, and they could only be avoided from being massacred by the city by quickly surrendering. Kuang Zhao, the governor of Jiangxi of Nanming, was frightened and fled. Other officials and some gentlemen also scattered, and the provincial capital Nanchang fell into anarchy in a flash. On the fourth day of June, some representatives introduced by the scholars and citizens of Nanchang arrived in Jiujiang to welcome the "Jindu Town". On the 19th, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong took a boat to the Ganjiang River to Nanchang, and were welcomed by dozens of students on the shore. After entering the city, Jin Shenghuan's troops were stationed in Xicheng, and the central troops of Wang Ti were stationed in Dongcheng.
Jin Shenghuan relied on the troops of Wang Tizhong to collect prefectures and counties near Nanchang. However, he was brave and good at fighting, strong troops, but he was very wary, and always looked for opportunities to annex the troops of the Wang team. In the intercalary June, the Qing Dynasty issued a haircut order to be shaved to Jiangxi, and Jin Shenghuan immediately led his troops to follow the order to shave his head. On July 21, Wang Tizhong led his troops back from Fuzhou to Nanchang and firmly refused to shave his head. Jin Shenghuan believed that this was the best time to get rid of Wang Tizhong, and privately won over Wang Tizhong's guerrilla Wang Deren, and pretended to be discussing the matter and assassinated Wang Tizhong on July 30.
After the incident, Wang's army was very indignant and "climbed to the gate and shouted to kill the sky." Jin Shenghuan supervised the street fighting. After two days of confrontation, Wang's army finally surrendered to Jin Shenghuan because of the murder of the leader and Wang Deren's lure.
After the Jin and Wang tribes merged, they captured Fuzhou, which was occupied by Zhu Ciyan, the king of Yongning, and chased Zhu Ciyan; collected Ji'an, and escorted the Ming Governor Kuang Zhao, who fled to the place, to Wuchang, and then occupied Guangchang and other prefectures. On August 25, the general He Mingbi, Gai Shi and others attacked Yuanzhou, defeated the Ming general Huang Chao Xuan tribe and occupied Yuanzhou.
At this point, all the thirteen prefectures in Jiangxi, except for Ganzhou and Nan'an, were controlled by the Qing Dynasty.
The King of Jin thought that he would not spend a manchu army and a soldier, but occupied the prefectures and counties, which would win special rewards from the Qing court. Unexpectedly, the Qing court had no intention of making a comeback. After pacifying most parts of Jiangxi, he only appointed Jin Shenghuan as the general officer of the guards of Jiangxi and other places. Wang Deren was appointed as the deputy general. In the second year of Hongguang, Jin Shenghuan requested the Qing court to issue another edict, granting him the power to "control civil and military affairs" and "do things cheaply". In May of the same year, the Qing court sent a memorial to the Ministry of War, but the result was that his request was rejected, and his official title was changed from the general officer of Jiangxi and other places to the general officer of Jiangxi and other places to the general officer of Jiangxi and the general officer of Jiangxi and the general officer of Jiangxi. It was also stipulated that "if the suppression and pacification of the situation is important, the town should follow the same strategy and follow the ruling of the governor of the inner court."
After the imperial court was issued, Jin Shenghuan was disappointed and complained in his heart that the Qing Dynasty was mean and merciless. Especially Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren used force to extort a batch of gold, silver and treasures when collecting Jiangxi counties and counties, and became a nouveau riche. Zhang Yutian, the newly appointed governor of Jiangxi, the inspector Dong Xuecheng, was jealous and exclaimed, and threatened them to offer money. The dispute between power and money made Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren's dissatisfaction with the Qing court grow increasingly.
At the beginning of the second year of Hongguang, Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, decided to go south to eliminate the remnants of the Southern Ming regime. In February, in Nanjing, the general Boluo, the expeditionary general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, led 100,000 troops south to east Zhejiang to eliminate the Lu regime. In Huguang, the main was Belelek Dehun, King Zhishun Shang Kexi as the supplement, and some surrendered former Southern Ming troops attacked Jiangxi and Huguang along the Yangtze River.
However, because the main attack direction of the Qing Dynasty was in eastern Zhejiang and Fujian, there were only 3,000 Han troops and Eight Banners led by Luke Dehun in Jiangxi, the 10,000 Han troops and Eight Banners led by Luke Dehun. As the main force, the new affiliated troops of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were the ones fighting.
Most of the 800,000 troops brought by Zuo Liangyu in Huguang fell apart after Zuo Liangyu's death, and a small part of them returned to He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, but most of the essence was accepted by Jin Shenghuan. In addition, Wang Deren's Dashun Army, the two Jin Wangs now have a total of 120,000 troops.
After occupying Ganzhou, Monk Luke Dehun Kexi immediately led his men north to attack He Tengjiao in Huguang, and Jiangxi general Jin Shenghuan was here.
At this time, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were discussing the matter in the camp outside Ganzhou City. Because when Bellekdehun left, he told them to take down the entire Jiangxi area and that if possible, it would be better to enter Guangdong, so the two discussed what to do next.
"Sir General, now there are only a hundred miles away from Nan'an Prefecture in Jiangxi. When will we conquer it?"
Jin Shengheng frowned and didn't say anything. Wang Deren was also puzzled when he saw him like this and asked, "What's wrong with you, sir?"
Jin Shenghuan sighed and said, "Brother, you say that we fought in this war, and the brothers were killed and injured a lot. Why did the court have to send Zhang Yutian and Dong Xuecheng to take care of us?"
Wang Deren saw that there was no one around. The two men's confidant soldiers stood outside the tent, and then said, "Those two guys are from the Han people in Liaodong and surrendered to Manchu early. I heard that Zhang Yutian was a juren from Chongde period, and they were strong in the court. We new affiliated troops can compete with them!"
Jin Shenghuan whispered: "Brother, in October last year, my brother received a letter from Huang Daozhou, a senior secretary of Longwu in Nanming in Nanchang, advising me anyway, but Manchu was too strong at that time, so I didn't dare to reply, so I secretly killed the messenger, and I burned the letter. Now it seems that it's better to fight at that time. Even if it doesn't work, I can kill the two bastards and vent their anger."
After hearing what Jin Shenghuan said, Wang Deren was so scared that his scalp was chilling and he whispered: "Brother, don't say that. You didn't see how capable the Manchus were. How powerful the Three Thousand Eight Banners led by Luke Dehunbeile was. Although life is hard now, it's good to lose your head!"
After hearing Wang Deren say this, Jin Shenghuan also remembered the Manchu cavalry wearing three layers of heavy armor, and couldn't help but nodded subconsciously.
It turned out that as early as October of the second year of Longwu, when Huang Daozhou, the Grand Secretary of the Longwu Dynasty, was about to enter Jiangxi from Fujian, he wrote letters to Jin Shenghuan three times, advising him to change his course and make a great contribution to his failure. At that time, when Jin Shenghuan was still proud, Huang Daozhou's military strength was very limited and the surrender did not have any effect. Later, Wan Ji, the Minister of War of the Southern Ming Dynasty who was guarding Ganzhou, served as the main counselor of Yang Sichang, the governor of the cabinet in the late Chongzhen period, and had a lot of contact with the generals of Zuo Liangyu. With his old relationship in the past, he sent a secret envoy to persuade Jin Shenghuan to rebel against the Qing Dynasty with his own letters. Although Jin Shenghuan did not write a reply, he received an envoy and interrogated Wan Ji privately and secretly released it back. Soon, Huang Daozhou and Wan Ji were defeated and died one after another, so Jin Shenghuan naturally did not dare to act rashly. However, the ministers of the Longwu court personally wrote a letter to persuade him, proposing to show their titles as a high-ranking official, which would definitely have a certain temptation to Jin Shenghuan.
Jin Shenghuan thought about it and now he had passed the best chance anyway. Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty was killed. I heard that Guangxi had established another new emperor, but Guangxi was far away and the rabbits could not shit. What strength could they have to resist the iron hoof of the Qing Dynasty? Although it is not popular now, it is better to lose your head. It is better to do the best Luke Dehun's fault.
Jin Shenghuan, who had figured it out, said to Wang Deren: "Brother, there are probably no soldiers in Nan'an Mansion. Just take 30,000 people to fight. Brother, I'll wait for you here in Ganzhou. After we come back, we will go back to Nanchang together."
Wang Deren was very happy to hear Jin Shenghuan say this, because Jin Shenghuan is the main general, and he wants a good job after the city is broken, so he can only be ranked second. If he leads his army to Nan'an Prefecture, then it will be his own!
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Please wait for good news in Ganzhou!"
After watching Wang Deren lead 30,000 people away, Jin Shenghuan had nothing to do and rode back to the temporary residence in Ganzhou City. This place was originally a house of a wealthy businessman. After Jin Shenghuan entered the city, he killed the wealthy businessman and took his house and his wife for himself.
Now the city of Ganzhou has just been massacred, but now the Qing Dynasty has enabled a large number of Han scholars to be local officials. These people have written letters to the Qing court that the country cannot always massacre like this, and it still needs to be governed. Therefore, the visionary Dorgon also ordered that the city should not be massacred after occupying the city in the future. Therefore, Ganzhou was not killed in the whole city like Yangzhou, but some wealthy families were in trouble.
Jin Shenghuan returned to the mansion, and his son Jin Dao*ming came to pay tribute to his father. Looking at his son's desire to speak but stopped, Jin Shenghuan asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"That's nothing, dad, when will we go back to Nanchang?"
Jin Shenghuan knew what he was thinking when he heard his son say this. This is his son Jin Dao*ming misses his wife again.
