I have to say that compared to the other Manchus, Chafur and Havana, they are indeed more intelligent people. They know how to use the Qing court's royal family name to attract power, and the big signs of Prince Rui and the Emperor's Grandson are indeed more bluffing. People, but after all, the Manchus have not been Chinese for a long time, and they have forgotten that there is another old saying in Chinese, which is called the gun that shoots the first bird.
Raising the banner of Prince Rui and the Emperor Taisun can certainly boost the momentum of the rebels in Tsafur and Havana, but it also immediately attracts the attention of the Chinese army. This also shows that this That's where the level of the two of them ends.
The Chinese Army's Shenyang Military Region now only has one division of garrison left, and it has to protect the safety of major cities such as Shenyang and Liaoyang. Therefore, it does not dare to act rashly in the face of multiple rebellions in Liaodong because there are too many of them and it is hard to know which rebel group to attack. It is best for the army to take action, and the most important thing is that we do not know the strength of the rebels. In fact, most of the rebels can be wiped out with only one battalion.
But at this time, the rebels from Shangtai suddenly appeared and raised the banner of Prince Rui and Emperor Taisun, which also gave the Shenyang Military Region a clear target. Dorgon's son, this weight is enough. And it is also very dangerous. After all, the nature of the rebellion has now officially reached the point of retreating from the Qing court. Therefore, the Shenyang Military Region also immediately decided not to wait for reinforcements from Shandong to arrive, and immediately dispatched a regiment of troops and an additional 1,000 troops. Army, attack Shangtai and destroy this rebel army.
As soon as the troops of the Chinese Army arrived at Merchant Terrace, many of the rebels began to panic. Many people advocated abandoning Merchant Terrace and fleeing into the mountains to hide. But at this time, Prince Rui and the Grandson of the Crown Prince showed up. With a bit of a kingly demeanor, he immediately stood up and made an impassioned speech, accusing those who advocated escapeism. He cheered everyone up and said something about fighting to the death and being loyal to the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, he also asked Chafur , Havana said that he would personally supervise the battle on the battlefield. Once the front army was defeated, he would personally fight and defend the battle to the death, and would never take a step back.
After hearing this, everyone was very excited, especially Chafur and Havana, who were even more surprised, because these two people have led soldiers and fought in wars. Of course, they know that fighting is about morale. When the superior person encourages himself, the morale of the entire army will be boosted. Originally, the two of them just wanted to take advantage of Prince Rui's status as the grandson of the Crown Prince, and did not have much expectations for him. Now it seems that this is a dare to do. As a result, the morale of the rebels also greatly increased, and they immediately mobilized to fight against the Chinese army.
There was indeed a lot of noise from the rebels, but how could they confront the regular Chinese army? Although the rebels took the initiative to attack, which was somewhat beyond the expectations of the Chinese army, once they really started fighting, they would not rely on shouting. Slogans and big words can work, especially since the Chinese military has entered the age of firearms, and victory or defeat on the battlefield cannot be determined by spiritual power.
Therefore, the battle only lasted for twenty minutes, not even half an hour. Under a volley of gunfire from the Chinese army, the rebels were severely defeated and continued to retreat. No matter how much Tsafur and Havana shouted, they stopped them. It was all in vain, but at this moment, when Chafur and Havana approached Prince Rui and Grandson Rui, who personally supervised the battle and stated that he would die in front of the battle without taking a step back, to save the situation, they discovered that this Yazhan ran away and disappeared.
After the rebels retreated into Shangtaicheng City, they found that the handsome man's house in the city was rummaged through boxes and cabinets, with tables and beds lying in a mess, many gold, silver and soft things, as well as a lot of things brought by Prince Rui and the grandson of Prince Rui. The old troops had disappeared. Only then did Chafur and Havana realize that they had been fooled. They were so angry that they stamped their feet and beat their chests. They were about to send people to pursue them, but at this time the Chinese army had already pursued them to the front of the city. Begin the siege.
Now that the rebels have just been defeated, and their spiritual pillar has completely collapsed, they can still withstand the attack of the Chinese army. Moreover, Shangtai is a small city, and it cannot withstand the artillery bombardment of the Chinese army. It did not take long for the Chinese army to blast away. They broke through the city wall and rushed into Shangtai City. The rebels in the city had time to chase the Prince Rui and the Grandson, but they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
Most of the rebels either died in battle or were captured by the Chinese army. A small number escaped from Shangtai and hid in the mountains and forests and became bandits. The two generals, Chafur and Havana, were killed by the Chinese army on the spot.
However, the whereabouts of Prince Rui and Grandson were unknown. The Chinese army searched Shangtai for more than ten days, but could not find him. Although several groups of people were captured, according to the identification of the prisoners, none of them were Not only among his group of subordinates, but also later in the Northeast and even Mongolia, many legends about Prince Rui and the Crown Prince were spread. Some people said that he was simply a liar who just came to defraud some money; others Some people say that he was an espionage officer sent by the Chinese Army to the rebels to find out the true identity of the rebels, and then cooperated with the Chinese Army internally and externally to break through Shangtai; others said that he was indeed the grandson of the Aixinjueluo family, and he also It was indeed for the purpose of reviving the Qing Dynasty that he fled from Shangtaicheng. Seeing that the rebels were gone, he wanted to remain useful and would reappear sooner or later to raise the flag of righteousness and revive the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, there are various endings about the grandson of Prince Rui. Some say that he was born as a monk; some say that he changed his name and became a businessman; some say that after his failure, he went to sea and rebuilt on an overseas island. The Qing court will one day return to Liaodong and regain the Qing Dynasty.
However, in the following forty years, Prince Rui and the grandson of Prince Rui also became the spiritual sustenance and banner of a group of nostalgic Manchus. In the many subsequent rebellions of the Manchus, Prince Rui and Emperor Rui were used as the banner. The flag of Prince Rui and Taisun himself appeared several times later. In addition, there were several rebellions in the name of raising the flag under the orders of Prince Rui and Taisun, including Outer Mongolia, and even in During the later Sino-Russian War, various ministries in Outer Mongolia, including the Russians, flew this flag.
Although it is said that the real Dorbo later spread rumors in public three times, pointing out that Prince Rui and the grandson of Prince Rui were fake and that he was the real one, there were more and more legends about Prince Rui and grandson of Prince Rui among the people. , therefore, the case of Prince Rui and the Crown Prince has become one of the four major mysteries in the early days of the founding of the Chinese Empire. At the same time, many years later, it has also become a popular subject in many legendary novels, movies and TV dramas.
Of course, the local government in Liaoning did not dare to hide the news and reported it to the Nanjing government in full.
After Shang Yi received the news, he also found it very funny. He knew that in another time and space, the Qing court entered the country and after the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, there was a Prince Zhu San from the twelfth year of Kangxi (1673). From then on, Almost all the anti-Qing forces used the banner of Zhu Santai as their slogan.
In fact, the so-called real Zhu Santai was actually Zhu Cihuan, the fifth son of Chongzhen. After Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, Zhu Cihuan fled the court, changed his name and surname, wandered around, and made a living by teaching. He lived like this for more than fifty years, and even married a wife and had children. , but in April of the forty-seventh year of Kangxi (1708), Zhu Cihuan was captured by the Qing court in Wenshang County. Although Zhu Cihuan was an old man in his sixties at this time, the Qing court still considered "Zhu had no intention of treason." Zhu Cihuan was put to death on the grounds that he had no intention of rebellious.
However, although the Qing government executed the real crown prince Zhu San, it did not calm down the turmoil. In the 60th year of Kangxi (1721), Zhu Yigui in Taiwan revolted and still respected the name of Prince Zhu San. Therefore, Prince Zhu had already He became an unshakable flag and fought on the front line against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty for a long time. In fact, until the Qianlong period, some people still used the name of Prince Zhu San to discuss the anti-Qing uprising. This Prince Zhu San was almost immortal. monster.
However, Shang Yi never expected that in this time and space, a Qing court copycat version of Prince Zhu San would actually appear. Of course, Shang Yi did not take this Prince Rui and Crown Prince to heart and regarded it as a joke. If you run away, just run away. He can't make any big waves. In fact, let alone this copycat version, it is the so-called Third Prince Zhu in another time and space. In fact, he has never really caused any control over the Qing court. What a threat, and the Qing court was in chaos as soon as they heard about Prince Zhu. This was actually because they were not confident in their own rule.
But the officials of the cabinet did not think so. Although they were not worried about the so-called Prince Rui and the Grandson, they were still quite nervous. After all, for the Manchus, the Prince Rui and the Grandson were A big flag is still very powerful, and ancient China was very sensitive to things like peasant uprisings and riots. Therefore, some ministers advocated that the whole country should be notified immediately to explain that Prince Rui and the Crown Prince were fake queens, and use the The Ministry of Intelligence is pursuing the pursuit, and must find this person, eradicate the root cause, and prevent future troubles forever. Some officials believe that the royal family members left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty should be imprisoned instead of being put on the farm for labor reform, because the farm is too unsafe. , if he was really kidnapped by the Manchus and made the leader, it would be a much greater threat than this knock-off. Some ministers thought it would be easier to kill all the men in the Qing royal family, at least Xiang Fulin, and more We can no longer keep a direct man like Erbo. This is called eradicating the root of the problem and eliminating future troubles forever.
But after listening to these opinions, Shang Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "My dear friends, he is just a fake Manchu. Of course, we have to investigate him, but why should we be so nervous? What can we do even if we kill him? , even if all the royal family of the Qing Dynasty were killed, it would be over, wouldn't it be easy to find another impostor? Shandong was in chaos before the ashes were cold, and Liu Xiang didn't study at first, so he had to protect his country forever. It doesn’t matter how many people we kill or how many people we frighten, it’s more about keeping ourselves strong so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the residents have houses, the workers have income, the old have support, the young have love, the top and bottom work together, and the government and the public work together. This is the way to govern a country. Throughout the ages, people have suffered from within rather than from outside."
After everyone heard this, they all bowed in admiration and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
