Chapter 310 No people, no officials, no soldiers
The situation in Shandong Province has entered May and is complicated.
On May 21, under the strong lobbying of Zhang Youfang, the former governor of Dezhou in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Shuaiqin, a member of the Ming royal family called "King of Ji" in Dezhou, was forced to disband his subordinates and submit to the Qing court. On the same day, Bahana and Shi Tingzhu led 3,000 Manchu and Han soldiers and surrendered to the army, and more than 5,000 soldiers entered Dezhou.
Dezhou's surrender to the Qing Dynasty not only shows that Bazhou south of the capital was completely owned by Cangzhou, but also indicates that the Qing government made a major breakthrough in Shandong.
Because of his contribution to recruiting Dezhou, the Regent Dorgon gave Fang Dayou the governor of Shandong, and appointed his minister Wang Aoyong as the governor of Shandong, and ordered him to quickly appease the Yan Shenggong of Qufu.
Grand Secretary Fan Wencheng said that the recourse for Shandong to comfort Dezhou is the arm and limbs, Jinan is the heart, but Qufu is the brain.
"With Dezhou, the Qing Dynasty can concentrate its troops to attack; if Jinan, the general control of Shandong; if Qufu, the hearts of Chinese scholars can shake the Qing Dynasty. I have the defense of China to break the Chinese and barbarians for the Qing Dynasty."
Fang Dayou, who was also well aware of the importance of Yanshenggong, immediately sent Han Zhaoxuan, a senator who was dedicated to pacifying Qingzhou, to Qufu, and at the same time, he surrendered the scattered soldiers and scattered together a 6,000-strong Shandong camp soldiers, and was directly commanded by him, the governor of Shandong.
In order to distinguish the Shandong camp soldiers from the Manchu and Han army, Fang Dayou asked the Qing court to grant them a green flag, and the Qing court approved it. Therefore, the Shandong camp soldiers are also called the Green Camp soldiers, which is also the beginning of the Green Camp soldiers.
When Shandong Green Camp was established, Wang Aoyong, a minister who was appointed as the governor of Shandong, received a secret letter from his disciple Zhu Tinghan, the magistrate of the Ming Dynasty in Licheng, saying that the provincial capital was empty and the camp was completely eliminated and there were no soldiers. Therefore, the mentor asked his mentor to immediately lead the troops in Zhenmanzhou to Jinan to receive it.
Wang Aoyong was overjoyed. Fang Dayou said that he had come to Dezhou and was praised by the Regent for a long time. His ministers and governors could not fall behind, so he only brought more than a hundred soldiers and headed straight for Jinan Prefecture from the Jiama Camp in Wucheng County.
In Jinan, the Shandong seal chief minister Su Bangzheng, appointed by the Ming Dynasty, and the Jinan Prefecture Promoter Zhong Xingpu and others all called Zhu Tinghan to persuade him, saying that as long as the Governor brought Manchu soldiers to the arrival of the army, the officials and gentry in Jinan immediately surrendered and would never be enemies of the Qing Dynasty.
These officials were all called Abatai to lead his army to invade Shandong's burning, killing, looting, and scaring. In fact, the Ming Dynasty officials who were still "standard" did not have any soldiers to use. The original battalions in Jinan were forced to pull south by Liu Zeqing.
An unexpected surprise of the Qing court was that after hearing that the Ming royal family, Zhu Youbi, the prince of Tai'an, had led the royal families of the Defan county princes to submit a letter to the Manchu general in Dezhou that he was willing to surrender.
In this table above, Zhu Youbi used this statement, saying, "Since the rise of bandits, the royal family has been repeatedly poisoned. Now if the Manchu soldiers arrive, like the parents Taijun, it is the joy of China and the joy of the royal family."
Bahana and Shi Tingzhu looked and looked, but they didn't understand why the Tai'an King connected their Manchus with the Taijun, but the sincerity and filial piety of surrender were overflowing on the paper.
Qingzhou, another major state in Shandong, had no trouble even with the gains. Han Zhaoxuan only brought three servants to Qingzhou City to take off his hats and exposed his braids. Qingzhou General Li Maoxue and the reinvigorated Peng Qin was shocked and knelt down and bowed down to surrender to the Qingzhou City.
At this point, in addition to the entire territory of Dezhou and most of Qingzhou, there are also Linqingzhou, the northern territory of Dongchang Prefecture, and about 30 counties in Jinan Prefecture were owned by the Qing court.
But there are also many places that refuse to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. For example, Xintai County, under the insistence of Zhou Zuoding, the county magistrate appointed by Dashun, refused to surrender Wang Aoyong and led the entire city to fight against the Qing Dynasty to the death.
After the magistrate of Dashun County escaped, the villagers Pei Shouzheng, Ma Ruiheng and others gathered to reject the recruits sent by the Qing Dynasty, saying that last year, Manchuria harmed nearly one million people in Shandong. If this revenge is not avenged, how can people in Shandong be human?
In Dengzhou in Jiaodong region, no Qing Dynasty recruited pacification personnel arrived in Laizhou. Now there are also local thieves. Among them, Zeng Hualong, the former Ming Dynasty, had more than 2,000 regular troops in Dengzhou, and had the strongest power.
The prefectures and counties that had not yet surrendered to the Qing Dynasty accounted for almost half of the Meiji and Shunzhi.
In the Huai Army, Hu Shangyou, the Shandong Punishment Envoy of Dashun, first recruited Jia Gongrang, the magistrate of Jinxiang on the seventh day of the fifth month, and still appointed Jia as the magistrate of Jinxiang County.
Hu stayed in Jin Township for two days and recruited three local gangs in Fu County, and obtained more than 2,000 gangs. Ambassador Hu, who was overjoyed, named these two thousand gangs as their personal soldiers and named them "Xiongweiying".
On the tenth day of the lunar month, Hu Shangyou went to Jiningzhou City with his powerful camp, and made great efforts along the way, saying that "the governor of Dashun Huaiyang, Jian selected Hu Ben 100,000 to go north, and surrendered quickly in Shandong and other places."
After that, there were Cao Yuan, generals of the Huai Army, and Zhan Shixun, who led two thousand cavalry to the dispatch of Hu Shangyou, and the momentum became even more popular. In Jining, Li Wensheng, Song Eryan, and Yang brothers from Gaopingshan led their troops to return, and the inspection department had more than 30,000 people.
The city of Jining Prefecture was still under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty officials. It was heard that Dashun elite troops came from the south and four more surrender signs were issued. The prefect of the state Wen You, the old telephone number, was disconnected from the city and surrendered.
Two days later, the Turkishen gangs who received the Dashun surrender card nearby sent people to Jining City to contact the Hu Ambassador Hu. Among them, Gong Wencai, a man from a family cave in Jiaxiang, was called the King of Qingtian, with more than 20,000 thieves. There were also Ma in Fujialou and other places (Dashun was appointed as the brigade). Yan Qingyu and the two led the Turkishen, with no less than tens of thousands.
However, although these local bandits are large, tens of thousands of people are often able to fight, only a few hundred people are the people nearby who are waving flags and shouting to boost their momentum.
After successfully recruiting Jining Prefecture City, Hu Shangyou was determined to establish a local government, and the former Jining Ming Dynasty officials were still Dashun officials, and each was given a higher level. For example, the prefect Wen You was promoted to the prefect, which made the Ming Dynasty officials of Jining excited.
However, as more and more letters of appointment were given, more and more local gangs came to Jining to surrender, but the food in Jining city was a little overwhelmed.
In order to alleviate the food shortage, Hu Shangyou ordered Wen Hanting to publish a list of public announcements and confiscate grain in the prefecture. As a result, the list was less than half of the time, and more than half of the gangs who came to surrender to the previous period were dispersed.
Hu Shangyou was shocked. For some reason, he asked the prefect Wen and found out that the local gangs knew that the Dashun court had been exempted from bans for three years and then rushed to surrender. As a result, he still had to collect grain. Even if the ten bans were 10%, they felt that the Shun army was not keeping their word, so they dispersed.
As a last resort, Hu Shangyou quickly sent someone to ask the governor for instructions, saying, "Now there are no people, no officials, no soldiers, and no wages, but there are no wages."
In other words, there are no people in Shandong now, because most of the people do not farm, and they all live with the local gangsters to loot.
Without an official, many officials appointed by the former Ming Dynasty ran away, and the gentry took over local power.
Without soldiers, it means that Ambassador Hu had no salary to provide, and he recruited officers and soldiers and went out to join the local gangs.
"Give him arbitrary power, why do you ask me about everything? He can find a way out if he has no food or salary."
