Chapter 465: Lu Wenzong came out of Shandong
Of course, Fan Wencheng did not curse the Qing Dynasty, but the current situation was similar to the several times that the Qing Dynasty entered the pass.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty sent all the main forces on the Western Front because of the expedition and suppression of the peasant army. Now the Qing court also placed heavy troops on the Western Front because of the expedition and suppression of the peasant army, which made the capital area extremely empty.
The Huai thieves from the northern invaders were very similar to the Qing army that entered the border from the gates of the gates. They even had the same methods, such as burning, killing, looting, and destroying them as much as possible.
The prefectures in Cangzhou, Bazhou, Hejian and other places in the north reported that except for the city and the city, the countryside was either naked or crowded with rioters. These rioters who were bewitched and incited by the Huai thieves and even brought up completely destroyed the Qing Dynasty's rule outside the city.
Hong Chengchou's memorial stated: "......... From the northern enemy of Gao Jie's troops in Huai, they were everywhere and were robbed, just like clothes, food, property, and animals were robbed. I also heard that the thief led all men and women in the prefectures and counties to plunder, and forced the young and strong men to resist our Qing Dynasty.
In the previous period, the local gentry surrendered to our country were even arrested and burned and looted. The thieves in the Tongshu were tortured and evacuated. The thieves wanted to have grain and silver in Beijing, and their houses were burned and demolished, so that they had no clothes, no skin, no family, no complaints. The soldiers and civilians were hungry and died without vain. Hejian, there was no one in Cangzhou for more than hundreds of miles, and there was no one in a certain place. Braids were piled up like mountains. It really made Jia Sheng cry and Zheng Tu unable to paint all his work. I don’t know why the people in the near capital were so extreme.”
What Hong Chengchou described in his memorial was the tragic situation in the Beizhi area since the first lunar month. This was the case outside the city, and people were panicked inside. From time to time, thieves took risks to assassinate the Qing Dynasty officials, causing many appointed officials to abandon their seals and run away.
This is also the tragic phenomenon. Hong Chengchou, Zhang Cunshi, Zu Zerun and others were unable to suppress the thieves for a long time, but because there were thieves everywhere. Today, there are more than 100 thieves, including Chuang Tianwang in the east, Ri Tianwang in the west, Dan Ri Wang in the north, and Da Ri Wang in the south.
Many thieves snatched up trouble by rioting people, causing Hong Chengchou to not know where the main force of the thief was. In the Battle of Bazhou, the more than 10,000 Green Camp soldiers he had finally pieced together were wiped out, causing Hong Chengchou to have no soldiers to chase after even if he judged the whereabouts of Gao Jie's troops, and he even had to worry about the Huai bandits in Shandong taking advantage of the situation to advance north.
A good cook cannot cook without rice, which refers to Hong Chengchou's current situation.
This former important official of the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty did not want to kill the thief for the Qing Dynasty, but was really unable to make a comeback and could only wait for the main force of the Eight Banners to return.
Hong Chengchou also wrote a letter to impeach Fang Dayou, the governor of Shandong who fled to Beizhi, saying that this person was afraid of thieves and was ashamed of every day, and only knew how to drink and have fun. After sobering up, he did nothing but to send emergency documents to the capital.
Fan Wencheng and others also knew the bad situation.
If the Qing Dynasty had not entered the pass, they would have been reluctant to seek this situation, but now the Qing Dynasty has entered the pass and Beijing is the new capital of the Qing Dynasty. This situation cannot help but worry and uneasy.
Ning Wan, I have done statistics on the population of Beizhi and the capital in the past few months. It is optimistic that Shuntian Prefecture and the Han people in the capital are roughly less than 700,000, and the number of people in Beizhi prefectures is only one million.
Why is the population so sparse? In addition to the great plague that began in the 15th year of Chongzhen, it is also related to the Qing Dynasty. After entering the pass four times, even the population of Shandong in the south dropped by 70%. Moreover, the severely affected area of Beizhijingji, which is the worst-hit area that must be entered every time.
There is a small population and a lot of land, but what's the use of no one to plant it?
Starting from June last year, the Qing court moved the Han people outside the pass to the pass. To this day, a total of more than 700,000 people have been moved, most of which are placed in the four prefectures of Yongping. Now this plan to fill the capital of the capital was interrupted by the Huai thieves who crossed the sea. Therefore, if the Huai thieves who were invaded by the northern invaders could not be eliminated in time, the capital of the capital and the Beizhi area would not be the "fruit" of victory, but the barren and deserted land.
"Wuqing, Xianghe, and Tongzhou have no troops to guard. If the bandits head north along the canal, they will come to the capital in less than two days. The prince must quickly draw troops to set up defenses, otherwise the capital's gate will open." Fan Wencheng looked worried.
Ganglin, who arrived in the end, had a different view. He said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Hong Chengchou had discovered that the thieves in the north in the north were just Gao Jie's troops of the Ming army in the past. This man was born as a bandit and only knew how to wander around and had no equipment to attack. Even if he fled to the capital, he would just fall into the trap."
Dorgon was furious: "Bandits? Hejian, Cangzhou, and Tianjin's prefectures and counties were burned and plundered! This Gao Jie looked like a thief, but he was actually trying to use a bandit to destroy my foundation!"
Dorgon, who became the emperor's uncle, regent, was becoming more and more majestic in the hearts of all officials. At this time, he became angry. Even if Ganglin Gui was a Grand Secretary of the Inner Academy, Dorgon's confidant minister dared not say anything else, so as not to touch the tense strings in the regent's heart.
Finally, Suksaha felt that it was not a big deal to be quiet like this, so he said, "Prince, I think that even if the bandit army enters the capital, it will not be able to gain a foothold. As long as the capital is martial law and ready for battle, the bandits will not last long.
“It’s right,”
Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "Prince Yu has returned without stopping. If the bandits dare to stop outside the city, it is tantamount to seeking death."
"The soldiers under the command of King Yu fought south and north, and they were all first-class generals and soldiers. Gao Jie's bandits could not defeat them." Ganglin said.
"You need to say these things? I just don't understand why Gao Jie suddenly came to the capital!"
Dorgon's face was dark.
Fan Wencheng understood the intention and roughly understood what he wanted to say. He hurriedly said: "The governors and governors Zhu guarded the county and the city was in good condition. They could escape the responsibility of the accident."
Suksaha also said hatred: "It's not just these, they are thinking about protecting the country and causing disasters to the neighbors, and causing disasters to lead them to the waters! Humph, the Huai thieves plundering Lin Su, why do you use to attack the city? This kind of anti-theft is actually the same as robbers! Also, it's just a deceiver! Luo Yangxing said that Tianjin's victory was a great victory, why did the thief soldiers come to the capital in a blink of an eye? It's really damn it!"
"The suppression of bandits and the people, supervision, and ruling are all responsibilities, and it is not appropriate to divide each other. Since they are called bandits, they have no direction and only regard their bravery and fearlessness as they have not avoided them. How can they stand by and watch because of their responsibility? These former Ming officials really treat the Qing Dynasty as the Ming Dynasty." They were angry just as they were, the local behavior was too bad.
"The cabinet has drawn up an edict to rebuke them, so that they can know that the court is not a fool."
Dorgon's face did not dissipate, but he did not say he wanted to kill, because he knew that he had to rely on these former Ming officials to surrender.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the cabinet was established along the Ming system. The Grand Secretary still signed a vote, but there was no approval from the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of
However, less than a year after the bill was planned, Dorgon believed that "every memorial of Chen was followed by the old rules and was delayed", which often made mistakes. Therefore, he decided that the memorials of civil and military officials of various departments and provinces would no longer be drawn by the Grand Secretary of the Inner Court. The memorials of the six ministries were not involved in the six ministries, such as the official affairs, foreign secrets, and strange strategies, all of which went to the Inner Court to report to him, the Regent found out, which caused the cabinet to lose the power to propose, and all the power in the court was attributed to him.
"Yes, I'll go and write it now." Fan Wencheng quickly responded.
"I call the kings in Beijing, Beile, and the nunu Ahadu, in Beizi's family, to help guard the city, so that King Yu would not have to be restrained by the thief's side troops, and immediately went north, and called Hong Chengchou, Zhang Cunren quickly quelled the riots, and could not let the thieves escape again... The defense of the troops in various places, regardless of the Manchu and Han green camps, were controlled by King Yu."
