Chapter 589 The blessings of the Han people are not very enjoyable
Prince Li Dai Shan and Prince Zheng Jiergalang had planned a list of retreats. Ninety percent of them were officials in Beijing, Manchuria and Mongolia, and only one percent were officials in Han, and most of them were Han officials who had been surrendered to the Qing Dynasty as early as outside the pass.
Regarding the officials on the list, Prince Li and Prince Zheng repeatedly told them on the left and right wings of the Eight Banners in Beijing that they must specifically select personnel to be responsible for the safety of these officials and their families, and must not miss any one.
The so-called right wings are actually the common name of the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Beijing after entering the pass.
The four right-wing flags are the Zhenghuang Banner stationed in Deshengmen, the Zhenghong Banner stationed in Xizhimen, the Yinghong Banner stationed in Fuchengmen, and the Yinglan Banner stationed in Xuanwumen.
The four left-wing flags are the Enchanted Yellow Banner stationed in Andingmen, the East Zhimen Gate, the Zhengbai Banner stationed in Dongzhi Gate, the Enchanted White Banner stationed in Chaoyang Gate, and the Zhenglan Banner stationed in Chongwen Gate.
The stations of each banner are also the residences of the families of each banner. At present, the Eight Banners families in the city have more than 240,000. So many families and officials have been evacuated from Beijing in two days, which is a test of the organizational ability of Prince Li Daishan and Prince Zheng Jirgalang.
Fortunately, the Eight Banners are united by military and civilians. Each Banner is both an army organization and a civilian household organization. Therefore, you only need to formulate the order of evacuation of each Banner and order it, and each Banner can be quickly mobilized from top to bottom.
The order of evacuation between the kings was that the first batch of two blue flags came out of Beijing, the second batch of two yellow flags came out of Beijing, and the last batch of two white flags came out of Beijing.
The emperor and the empress dowager set out with the two yellow flags.
The general evacuation matter is similar to the one who entered the customs from Shengjing, and the person responsible for moving the imperial court to Beijing was Prince Zheng Jiergalang. Therefore, in fact, the entire process of leaving Beijing and leaving the customs was also familiar with Jiergalang.
Under the entrusted by Daishan and Jiergalang, Prince Abatai of Raoyu had led a team of troops out of the city to Shanhaiguan.
Abatai's trip was not only the first stop, but also to ensure that there were no Shun Army stations along the way, and to deploy relevant arrangements for picking up the two governments of Kaiping and Yongping.
The Shun Army sent Geng Jimao, son of Geng Zhongming, to Shanhaiguan with General Li Benshen of the Sixth Town, to Shanhaiguan. In addition to urging the troops along the line to evacuate, the main purpose of the two generals Geng and Li should also respond to the relevant questions raised by Abatai and give corresponding solutions.
The Shun Army was really sincere. Yongping Prefecture City was still controlled by the Qing army, but Kaiping Prefecture City was long ago captured by the Shun Army. In order to allow the Qing side to pass Kaiping with peace of mind, more than a thousand Shun Army originally stationed in this city were ordered to give up Kaiping early, and even left all the seized food in the city.
The Zunhua area was also in the hands of the Qing court. The Shun army proposed that Zunhua City must be given up after evacuation in Beijing. Those who are willing to surrender can be accepted. Those who are unwilling to surrender can be led by Governor Song Quan to go out of the pass through Mongolian in the south of the desert to return to Shengjing.
In response, Abatai expressed his objection, believing that even if Zunhua, a major city that controls inside and outside the mouth, should be handed over by the main forces of the Eight Banners, after all the Eight Banners' forces left the customs.
Geng Jimao and Li Benshen were unable to make a decision, so they sent someone to report Zunhua issues to the camp, and the two continued to accompany Abatai to Shanhaiguan.
After arriving at Shanhaiguan, Abatai suggested that the Qing army must be stationed in this pass, otherwise it would be difficult to get out of the pass with peace of mind, and the garrison required at least 3,000 troops.
Li Benshen firmly opposed it, saying that if Shanhaiguan is handed over to your Qing army to garrison, if you betray your faith and refuse to hand over Shanhaiguan after you leave the customs, wouldn’t I, Dashun, want to have another one-stone battle with your Qing army!
When the two sides were quarreling, Song Wenzhi, the magistrate of Lulong who had surrendered to Shun, proposed that neither side would station troops, and that Shanhaiguan City would be governed by Lulong County. After the Qing Dynasty left the pass, the Dashun Army would station again.
After discussing with Geng Jimao, Li Benshen agreed with Song Wenzhi's proposal.
Abatai also discussed the matter with his left and right, believing that as long as the Shun Army did not appear near Shanhaiguan, whether the Qing army was stationed here would not prevent the court from leaving the customs. Therefore, there was no longer a dispute with the Shun Army on whether the Shanhaiguan Army was stationed.
At present, while sending people to investigate the situation of the Shun Army stationed in Jingdong, the other hand informed Shengjing of the relevant matters of Beijing's evacuation and made early arrangements for the reception.
The result of the Qing army's reconnaissance activities was that the Shun Army had indeed fulfilled the terms of peace talks, and they really withdrew the Shun Army in Jingdong.
This made Abatai feel relieved, and he sighed that there were too few flag soldiers available in Beijing at this time. If there were 10,000 or 20,000 people, he would definitely take this opportunity to cause unexpected damage to Shunjun.
The city of Mancheng, originally the inner city of Beijing, was the most prosperous place in the former Ming Dynasty, and was also home to high-ranking officials and nobles, princes and ministers.
After the Qing army entered Beijing, they forced all the Han people in the inner city to the outer city, and then divided the garrison areas according to the size of the eight banners. In order to seize the good houses of the Han people, there were many people fighting between the bannermen and the bannermen at that time. For this reason, they were also in trouble with the banner owner and the regent.
The old surname of Gang'a Ta of Zhengbai Banner was Yehe. After Yehe was defeated during the Taizu period, the young Gang'a Ta was assigned to Jianzhou with his father. After growing up, Gang'a Ta naturally became a member of the Eight Banner Warriors and was promoted to Gang'a Ta for his military achievements (Jiala Zhangjing).
After entering Beijing with the Regent, Gangata robbed a large house with the identity of the ginseng leader of the Zhengbai Banner. It is said that this house was the house of Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War, the head of the eunuch party's "Five Tigers" during the Tianqi period of the previous tomorrow.
Because Cui Chengxiu was hanged at home, no one dared to buy this house after Cui Chengxiu's death. It was empty throughout the Chongzhen period. Over time, not only was the house extremely dilapidated, but there were dust and spider webs everywhere, and people around him also said they were haunted.
The Han people are afraid of ghosts, but Gang Atta is not afraid of ghosts.
If there are ghosts in the world, then Gangata is the ancestor of ghosts.
Not to mention anything else, just say that when Ata just came to the slaughter of the city with Amin, one of the four major belles, he slashed almost hundreds of Han people with one knife when he was slaughtering the city in Yongping.
The Han people say that people will become ghosts when they die, wouldn’t that mean that Gangata is the ancestor of “creating ghosts”?
The living Han people are not afraid of Ata, let alone the dead Han ghosts!
Therefore, the matter of ghosts is completely nonsense.
Although this mansion named Shu Shangshu, the family of Cui’s family is overgrown with weeds, it cannot be big. Just clean up and not to mention the scenery.
So, Gang Ata happily moved into the house of the Hang Gui Shangshu. After more than a month, he brought all his family members outside the pass. The whole family and dozens of people enjoyed happiness in the pass.
The food, clothing and consumption were all drawn down from the flags. The family had twenty or thirty children. The land given to him in the outer circle of the city was more than 1,000 acres of land, and dozens of Han slaves who farmed for his family. I would never mention how comfortable it was to live this life.
Unfortunately, the blessings of the Han people are not easy to enjoy.
After leaving the palace, Gang Atta, who was nearly 40 years old, was very disappointed. His heart was empty and seemed to have been pulled away.
After the Zhengbai Banner Government Office came out, Ata strongly arranged for the 14th Niulu hundreds of families who should be in charge of him to pack up their things and prepare to leave. After a long time of busyness, he returned home and called his wife, children, and asked them to pack all the valuable things in the house and load them into the car to get out of the city.
Just when the Atta family had almost finished cleaning up, there were already all kinds of carriages outside that were blocked.
"Ama, are we really going to leave here?"
"Mom, I don't want to go back outside the pass, it's too cold there."
"Mafa, can I still eat Chinese snacks after the barrier?"
"Sarigan, why did the court have to let us leave here? Can't we fight the Han people to the end?"
"A Zhui, can your car still hold things? I still have a few big things in my house that can't fit. Can you put some decorations for my house?"
""
In any case, the Manchus in the alley have lived here for three years and have already developed feelings for these houses they stolen. They suddenly left here and returned to the outside of the pass, which was not easy for a while.
Many Manchus looked at the house where they had lived for more than three years, their eyes were red.
Some sisters were sobbing and choking with their children in their arms. These women didn't know what was going on. They only knew that their husbands and Ama, and their brothers had not returned yet, but they were leaving home.
"Mom, what should I do if Ama can't find us when she comes back?"
