Chapter 410 Shandong Theater
After capturing the sixth town of Linqing, which expelled Fang Dayou, the governor of Shandong in Qing Dynasty, heading north, the Huai Army's garrison in northeastern Shandong also needed to be adjusted accordingly.
Due to the previous "stiff walls and clear fields", the entire Dezhou area has completely become an unmanned land. Wudingzhou, Haifeng, Yangxian, Leling and other places directly in the northeast of Jinan Prefecture are basically the same as Dezhou. At present, only the Qing Dynasty is located in the Gaotang area. The sixth town of the Huai Army is stationed.
Once the sixth town advances northward, most counties in the Qing Dynasty, Gaotang, including Dongchang Prefecture, face the situation of no garrison or very few garrisons. Lu Si, who won a great victory over the Haoge Group, obviously could not hand over the prefectures and counties that he had finally seized to the Qing court. Therefore, the deployment of defense of the entire Shandong territory and the merger and reorganization of the Luhuai Army were also imperative.
Lu Si was about to go to Xuzhou, not only for the sake of getting married, but also to solve the problem of the Ming army in Huaixi and the possibility of Zuo Liangyu's army surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.
Li Zicheng and Zuo Liangyu's death was in Lu Si's previous life. Whether Li Zicheng still has to follow the old path depends on whether the Yongchang Emperor continues to give up the Xiangyang base.
But Zuo Liangyu must be dead.
Because he died of illness, not an accident.
No matter how innovative the situation is, it will not affect Zuo's death.
Although the one who led the surrender of the Qing Dynasty was Zuo Menggeng, Zuo Menggeng was actually also controlled by his subordinates. His subordinates, generals Lu Guangzu, Li Guoying, Zhang Yingxiang, Xu Ensheng, Hao Xiaozhong and others all wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Only Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng, who were not from Liaodong, did not lead their subordinates to escape.
After Ma Jinzhong surrendered to Ajige's troops in Hubei. After the Qing army advanced south, Ma Jinzhong threw away the southern expedition cannons ordered by the Qing army to transport them and led his troops west to Yuezhou, Hunan. He then surrendered to He Tengjiao, and then surrendered to Sun Kewang, and then surrendered to Li Dingguo. Finally, he died of illness during the storm. He was considered a steadfast national hero.
Wang Yuncheng had a roughly the same life trajectory as Ma Jinzhong, but he really surrendered Kong Youde. When Li Dingguo surrounded Kong Youde in Guilin, he sent Ma Jinzhong to call Wang Yuncheng to surrender under the city.
Kong Youde was determined to surrender to Li Dingguo at that time, but the rest of his subordinates refused to surrender. As a result, when Wang Yuncheng and Ma Jinzhong were talking to him on the city wall, Kong Youde burned himself to death, probably because it was a matter of trouble. Otherwise, King Kong Youde, the King of Dingnan, would have become the first prince of the Sanshun King to return to the Ming Dynasty anyway.
Most of the Liaodong generals of Zuo Liangyu's army were determined to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the other Ming troops were in the same situation. Lu Si believed that in addition to these Liaodong people being too familiar with and afraid of the Qing army, the Qing court did a good job of winning over and reunion.
For example, Liu Liangzuo's younger brother is now in the Qing Han military flag, and Ma Degong and others under Huang Degong all have relatives and friends who serve in the Qing army.
Strictly speaking, Zuo Liangyu's division is actually a branch of Guanning Group. So when its "headquarters" surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, it is not surprising that this branch chooses to follow the footsteps of the headquarters.
If we make a statistics on the composition of the Green Camp, the Sanshun King, and the Han army, the Guanning Army's origin or its branches account for about 60%.
In other words, the Liaodong General Group, which used three wages to feed the wages, ruined the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the two major events of the Huaixi Ming Army Group and the Wuchang Ming Army Group, Lu Si also wanted to "photograph" the Nandu. Even if the Hongguang regime hated Shi Kefa, the Donglin Party members were there, they would set the main tone of uniting against the Qing Dynasty.
If Shi Kefa and the others were still not honest, Lu Si might have to send troops to "clear the king's side".
Zuo Liangyu came from the upper reaches to the throne, and Lu Laosi came from the throne of the throne of the throne of the throne of the throne of the throne of the throne of the throne of the throne of the throne of the throne of the throne of the prairie in Jiangbei.
It looks very ironic.
Then, in the past few months after Lu Si went south, Shandong must have a coordination.
Zuo Pan'an's second town captured Weihai Guard seven days ago. His colleagues had estimated that Chen Buping had predicted that the deputy general of Jiaozhou, Ke Yongsheng, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, heard that the governor of Denglai, Chen Jin, ran away from the sea. He surrendered to the Huai Army without a shot. His troops were incorporated by Zuo Pan'an. He is now in Wendeng, Rongcheng and other places to cooperate with the second town to "suppress bandits."
Second, while the Seventh Town was fighting in the Jiaodong area, the work of Shandong's reunification ambassador Hu Shangyou was not lost, and he successively recruited more than 120 officials of all sizes and sizes.
However, these officials in Jiaodong area have obviously suffered a loss.
When Hu Shangyou just went north to start recruitment and reunification work, it was like a stream of money. No matter whether you are a Dashun official or a Qing official, as long as you are willing to join the Huai army, you will be given one level or even three level. When the situation was once tense (True Manchus entered Shandong), some officials who had already expressed their intention to surrender to Huai River were on the ground and raised prices. Hu Shangyou was so angry that he scolded these people for not being trustworthy.
But with the successive military victories of the Huai Army, the situation suddenly turned upside down. Those who used to set up prices were now lowering their identities and asking Ambassador Hu to seek revenge. Those who had previously commissioned the government office now only had to give it to a county magistrate. Ambassador Hu was not happy, and these untrustworthy people had to give him money.
That was really a big profit and it was a lot of fun.
The officials appointed by Wang Aoyong, the former governor of Shandong in Jiaodong, were even more "depreciated". Perhaps because he felt that he had made too much money and was afraid that it would be unreasonable to the governor. Ambassador Hu also made plans and instructed his subordinates to clearly mark the prices of officials from the three prefectures of Qingzhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou, Jiaodong, and Qingzhou, and asked these innocent officials who had lost their fortune to buy them with money, which was called "redeeming".
Good guy, in just two or three months, the amount of official redeem fees received by the officials is probably more than 30,000 taels. Chen Buping, Shandong Tonghui, turned a blind eye to this, because the plate was too big and there were few officials. In many places, the Huai Army did not continue to appoint the original gentry and officials, and for a while, it was impossible to form a local government and carry out local governance.
So as long as these demoted officials can handle business for the Huai Army and pay the bank to buy officials by themselves, Chen Buping would be happy to use them to enrich his place.
However, Wen Yanjie, who was designated as the new candidate for Yansheng Duke by Governor Lu Si, jumped out and accused Ambassador Hu of his abuse of official positions and selling famous national goods in the same way as goods.
The lawsuit was fought all the way to Lu Si, which made Lu Si feel embarrassed. He asked Chen Buping if the place could be quickly and stable if he didn't use these people who bought the official positions.
Chen Buping's answer was impossible with certainty.
Lu Si hesitated.
A few days later, the Kong family went to Jining Prefecture to submit a complaint that Kong Lin was stolen and asked the government to send someone to investigate and recover the stolen burial objects.
Therefore, Wen Yanjie, who had nothing to do with the case, stopped accusing Ambassador Hu of doing things in chaos.
Regarding the appointment of officials in areas under the Huai Army, Lu Si still emphasized the need to use more new people, that is, give priority to the appointment of Dashun officials who insist on resisting the Qing Dynasty, and at least half of the key positions of real power must be generated from these officials.
The second is to appoint those officials and gentry who have never surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and finally arrange for demotion.
It is roughly appointed in the proportion of 433 to build a new regime system dominated by Shandong Tonghui Yamen as soon as possible, and this Shandong Tonghui Yamen may be converted into Shandong Governor's Yamen at any time.
The conversion time depends on Li Zicheng.
On December 23, Lu Si convened a meeting of military and political leaders in Jinan and proposed to establish a military-political integrated war zone in Shandong.
