Inciting rebellion against the Mongolian tribes did not happen overnight.
At that time, Nurhachi and Dorgon, two generations of people, continued to intimidate and induce, and then they gradually encroached on various grassland tribes.
As soon as Nurhaci started attacking the plains of western Liaoning, Lin Dan Khan immediately led his troops to conquer and defeated the Manchus until they offered the princess a hand in marriage. Then he quietly alienated various tribes, constantly offered benefits, and secretly flirted with the Mongolian tribes.
Lin Dan Khan learned the news and severely punished the tribes who colluded with the Manchus.
But the more severe Lin Dan Khan punished, the more tribes turned to the Manchus. In the end, the peripheral tribes ruled by Lin Dan Khan fell into the arms of the Manchus one after another.
As a result, Lin Dan Khan, who had "400,000" cavalry, was pursued by the Manchu Qing, who only had "30,000" troops, from outside Zhangjiakou to Qinghai.
After carefully studying this period of history, the most impressive thing is that Hou Jin’s gang of Tatars can really give birth to daughters!
Marry one from this tribe, marry another from that tribe, and tie the Mongolian tribe to death through marriage. Sometimes, even if there is a marriage, there will be a fight. If the husband of the daughter is killed, the marriage will be changed to another tribe. Or the husband of the daughter will be killed.
, remarry the daughter to the deceased husband’s brother, nephew, or nephew.
Eight-year-old Abnai was completely unaware that he was wearing a green hat.
He felt that this gentleman from Han was very amiable. He told him stories about his father Khan (Lin Dan Khan) and many interesting things in the south, and he gradually felt a father's love that he had never experienced before.
In addition, Zuo Xiaocheng began to contact the leaders of the Chahar tribe.
He has basically determined that as long as the Datong army captures Zhangjiakou, binds the Chahar tribe with food, and promises to help the Chahar tribe cope with the Qing's revenge, these Mongolians who are close to the Han will definitely rebel!
The Chahar tribe had a feud with the Manchus and was squeezed out by other tribes that had surrendered to the Manchus.
Because they were once a tribe directly under the Khan of Mongolia, they occupied lush pastures, and they enjoyed the convenience of mutual trade. Other tribes must prevent the Chahar tribe from growing, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty must also prevent the Chahar tribe from reviving.
They harbored resentments, resenting the Manchus for killing their relatives, resenting the Manchus for depriving them of their pastures, and resenting the Manchus for interfering in their trade with the Han people.
Nowadays, there is not much food shipped from Han Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing has to buy most of it in advance.
Every time a herdsman in the Chahar tribe starved to death, their hatred of the Manchus became stronger.
Zuo Xiaocheng's current task is to straighten out the relationship between the Chahar tribe and figure out which ones are loyal to the Manchus. When the Datong Army captures Zhangjiakou, they will be able to instigate the entire Chahar tribe to rebel!
Zuo Xiaocheng fought fiercely with the Manchu princess on the grassland, and the Guangxi Datong Army also launched another offensive.
…
After several years of encroachment and continuous suppression of rebellions, the Datong Army has occupied two-thirds of Guangxi and owns 80% of Guangxi's land suitable for farming. The remaining areas that have not been recovered are all mountainous and difficult to navigate, and the land is relatively barren.
The most severe drought this year is in Hunan, followed by Henan and Beizhili.
Shanxi, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Guangdong have only local severe droughts.
The "Chongzhen Drought" seems to have completely subsided. Even the provinces with the worst drought were nothing in previous years.
Sichuan has a great harvest, Hubei has a great harvest!
Compared with previous years, Guangxi can also call it a bumper harvest this year.
The people of Guangxi under Zhao Han's rule, no matter which ethnic group they were, were all allocated land. Some Yao and Zhuang people living in the mountains were allowed to continue collective farming after asking Zhao Han for instructions. However, land ownership must be clarified first, and advanced agriculture must be taught to them.
technology.
After this year's corn harvest, the Han, Zhuang, Yao and Miao people in Guangxi were all crazy with joy.
There are no excessive taxes, the land tax is relatively light, and the remaining food is their own. They can ensure that they eat two meals a day and will not go hungry until next year.
After the bumper summer grain harvest, the enthusiasm of the people in Guangxi became unprecedentedly high.
I heard that the Datong Army was recruiting civilian men, and people of all ethnic groups signed up enthusiastically. Peasants and soldiers of all ethnic groups also applied to join the war.
Nanning Fucheng.
Ding Jiasheng's newly formed Thirteenth Division is taking the oath. The composition of this unit is extremely complicated. Han soldiers (including Hakkas) only account for 55%, the remaining 30% are Zhuang soldiers, and the rest are Yao and Miao soldiers.
In addition, there were farmers, soldiers, and civilians from all ethnic groups who were listening to Ding Jiasheng's speech.
Although they were too far away to hear clearly, everyone was in high spirits because the goal of this battle was to wipe out the remaining forces in Guangxi.
Ding Jiasheng led the Thirteenth Division, starting from Nanning, to first capture the entire Nanning Prefecture, and then attack Taiping Prefecture, Siming Prefecture, Longzhou, Siling Prefecture, and Pingxiang Prefecture.
Liu Xinyu led the 10th Division, starting from Yicheng, to first capture Si'en Prefecture, and then attack Tianzhou, Sicheng Prefecture, Anlongsi, Shanglinsi, Zhen'an Prefecture, and Guishun Prefecture.
The Ministry of War has an order, don't wait any longer, the whole of Guangxi will be decided in one battle.
The remaining remnants of the chieftains and bandits were left to the peasants and soldiers to slowly eliminate them. The important responsibility of the new county magistrate was to suppress the bandits.
After occupying Guangxi, they immediately put pressure on Yunnan, making it impossible for the Yunnan puppet government to support Guizhou because two divisions from Sichuan were about to attack Guizhou!
"Go to war!"
Ding Jiasheng drew his sword and shouted.
This soldier, who was born into a poor scholar, picked up a copy of "Datong Collection" in the village and dared to lead the hungry people to rebel. He conquered the county and even imitated Zhao Han's example of organizing households and dividing the fields.
He has been a military propaganda officer for several years and has rich combat experience. This year he finally became a commander and directly served as the commander of the 13th Division.
The army set off, and together with the civilians, there were 50,000 people.
The soldiers and peasant soldiers advanced along the Yujiang River (Yongjiang River). There were a large number of ships transporting luggage in the river, and there were also many civilians pushing wheelbarrows along the riverside.
Cen Mian, dressed in Zhuang costume, pushed the cart and wanted to sing.
The original meaning of the surname Cen is "chopping board", which was the surname of the owner of the cave, so the entire village adopted the surname Cen.
Cen Mian used to help the cave master fight and fought with the Datong Army for half a year. Now that he thinks about it, he feels that it really shouldn't be the case. The Datong Army is a good person, and His Majesty the Emperor is also a good person. They have also allocated land to settle down, and the taxes are not high.
We also organized everyone to dig ditches together.
This year, the family harvested two thousand kilograms of corn (corn), which was enough to eat after paying the grain to the government.
What's more, we have to plant sweet potatoes next, and we can harvest a lot of food.
In the winter, when you cook porridge with sweet potatoes and corns, the taste is amazing. If you can add some rice to it, it will be like a fairy.
When the corn was first harvested, Cen Mian and his family ate three meals a day for several days in order to celebrate.
He felt it was too extravagant and felt guilty about wasting food. His family also thought it was unacceptable, so they had two more meals. Now that he thinks about it, he still misses it.
"Brother Cen, can your girl get married this year?" Nong Kun asked from behind.
Cen Mian looked back with a smile: "It's a happy year and it's time to get married. Is your family ready?"
Nong Kun said happily: "Everything is ready, two chickens, ten bundles of firewood, one hundred catties of corn, and a big fat pig. It's great, right? You didn't treat your girl badly, did you?"
"It's not bad treatment. It's very good. It's very good." Cen Mian grinned from ear to ear. "When my sister gets married, let her bring a sheep with her. The ewe can give birth to babies, and she will give birth to many for your family in a few years."
.”
Nong Kun smiled and said: "Very good, very good!"
Cen Mian warned again: "If there is a war, you have to be careful. Don't let my sister become a widow watching the house before she gets married."
Nong Kun said with a smile: "The Datong Army is fierce in fighting, so don't be afraid. When I go back this time, I will sign up to be a peasant soldier. Maybe I can be a Datong Army in a few years. By then, if I have achieved military merit, I will be rewarded with land, and there will be plenty of land."
I can’t even plant buds or grains.”
The people of Guangxi can live a good life not only because of the favorable policies, but also because of natural disasters and wars that have resulted in a large number of population losses.
As long as the toast is overturned, every common person can get their share of the land.
Moreover, Guangxi was one of the first provinces to introduce corn and sweet potatoes. As early as the Wanli period, corn and sweet potatoes were planted in large quantities. After the arrival of the Datong Army, they only accelerated the promotion of crops.
Let’s put it this way, more than 60% of the summer grain harvested in Guangxi is corn.
Even half of the military rations for this expedition were made up of corn.
Another thing is to organize the people to build aqueducts. Taking the village as a unit, the villagers bring their own dry food and tools, and build aqueducts in sections to irrigate crops.
As long as there are people organized, water conservancy facilities can be built no matter how difficult it is.
Historically, Yang Yi, a general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, went to Fangcheng Port and proclaimed himself king. He did not forget to build water conservancy projects. He organized the people to dig a canal with a total length of 24 miles. When the Qing army came to kill, only the last mile was not dug...
Since then, it has not been dug through, leaving behind what is known as the "Emperor's Ditch".
Cen Mian and Nong Kun followed the army and arrived at the fork of Yujiang River two days later.
The main stream is called Youjiang, and the tributary is called Zuojiang. This time they are going to take the Zuojiang River to attack Xinning Prefecture (Fusui). The Nalong Village on the bank of the Youjiang River has already been captured by the Datong Army, leaving 500 soldiers.
Stationed to prevent the enemy troops from Long'an County from attacking.
After only half a day's advance along the Zuojiang River, the vanguard came back to report.
A fast horse galloped along the river and arrived in front of Ding Jiasheng: "General, I learned that our army was on a large-scale expedition. The enemy troops in Xinning Prefecture abandoned the city and fled, and all went into the mountains to the west."
The news that the enemy had abandoned the city did not make Ding Jiasheng happy, but gave him a headache.
The city is so easy to attack, but the most troublesome thing is to go through the ravines. There are mountains everywhere in Guangxi, and it will take a long time to conquer the mountains.
In a few years, the Datong Army only captured two-thirds of Guangxi because the enemy frequently entered the mountains to fight guerrillas!
Ding Jiasheng immediately ordered: "The army moved to Xinningzhou City, divided into three thousand troops, three thousand peasants and soldiers, and five thousand civilians, to capture Qianlong Village in the east of Xinning Prefecture."
Moving to Longzhai is also in a ravine.
The fighting here in Guangxi is lively, but there are basically no major battles. They go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them all year round.
The civil servants at the Ministry of War didn’t even know they were looking at the terrain. All they wanted to do all day long was to urge them, and they even said they would capture the whole of Guangxi this year. Damn it, the rest of the territory is all mountainous, so we can only finish it this year.
