Chapter 423 Destruction of the Ming Dynasty. The Dream of the New Army Part One
"After Nurhaci's defeat, the rest of the army is no longer of concern."
At the end of November of the first year of Tianqi, the news that the overall situation in Liaodong had been decided spread throughout the country. In the Ming Dynasty's ruling area, such news was so shocking that it numbed the entire court. The Ming Dynasty is now in power, and internal strife is the most important thing. Big event. No one cares about Liaodong affairs.
In Yin Feng's ruling area, this news spread everywhere along with a trend of public opinion. It gradually spread to Nanyang, Luzon, Ryukyu and other places: Yin Feng defeated the Northern Barbarians. This also announced that the general trend of the world was beginning to change. The Ming Dynasty was defeated by Nurhachi. By his own hand, Nurhaci was killed by Yin Feng's army: this means that fortunes have changed drastically. King Jinghai will take control of the world.
Yin Feng planned to announce some company reform measures at the shareholders' meeting of China United Company at the end of the year. When he came to the venue, he found that this time the number of people at the company's shareholders' meeting was the largest in all the years. Shareholders at all levels and directors were the most present.
He started to speak and found that everyone below had different expressions and were whispering among themselves.
"Nurhaci said that the remaining troops of the Later Jin Kingdom still had 20,000 fighting men. The 180,000 people who returned from Liaoshen to the east now except for these 20,000 soldiers and horses, the rest are women, children, old and young, or slaves and prisoners. Aba Tai and Huang Taiji re-appointed the eight banners Gushan Ezhen. They are called banner masters, but they can only be responsible for general military affairs and flag affairs. Only Nurhachi's main banner Baylor is the true master of the banner. They are all Nurhaci's. Sons and nephews. According to the system of the Eight Banners co-governing the country, they have many privileges such as military affairs, distribution of prisoners, spoils of war, and land distribution. The relationship between the Eight Banners is parallel. They are all directly subordinate to Nurhaci. As the basic unit of the Eight Banners system, Niulu is also based on geographical location. The principle of being the leader and blood being the auxiliary was combined and established. Once the leader is killed, the group will be leaderless. Each one will not be under the leadership of the leader, and they will do their own thing."
Yin Feng talked for a long time. He saw that all the shareholders were looking at him, with faces full of expectation. Yin Feng knew what they were thinking. He sneered secretly in his heart. Then he said: "Now the remaining Eight Banners are using Huang Taiji, Abatai , led by Jierharang, divided into three groups. They fled to Huifa River, Mongolia's Chahar, Haixi Jurchen tribe and other places. They lurked in the mountains and forests waiting for opportunities to fight against our Chinese army. However, although Huang Taiji was considered the most capable one. But he was seriously wounded in the Battle of Hetuala. There have been rumors these days that he is about to die from his serious injuries. It is estimated that he has nothing much to accomplish. The other two chiefs are both brave and foolhardy, and there is nothing to worry about."
What Yin Feng went on to say will be what the shareholders and the large number of businessmen, landlords, landless poor and others gathered outside the venue are most concerned about.
"Our Zhonghua Company has now stood tall on the shores of the East China Sea. Following the general trend, I have decided that all the land in Liaodong will be placed under the unified jurisdiction of the Jinghai Palace. A Northeastern garrison will be established. It will govern the three prefectures of northern Liaoning, eastern Liaoning and southern Liaoning."
More than 500 shareholders with net worth of more than 10,000 taels of silver at the meeting almost simultaneously exclaimed. The 20 director-level major shareholders sat motionless. It was obvious that Yin Feng had completely separated the administrative jurisdiction of the newly occupied territory from the Chinese company system. The directors obviously knew of this change in advance. From now on, except in overseas colonies, the Chinese United Company will not exercise any administrative power in the country.
Yin Feng scanned the audience and then said: "All the land of the former Liaodong military households will be owned by the palace. After measurement and statistics, it will be publicly sold at the land auction meeting in the middle of next year. The territory occupied by the Jin Kingdom will be
Priority will be given to the meritorious officers of the Chinese Army and the land outside the customs occupied by the pioneering group. It can be farmed for a long time only by paying taxes to the Northeast Governor's Office every year. After the expiration of twenty years, it will be owned by the merchants or individuals who formed the pioneering group. Of course. And
It’s the same as before. Our Chinese company will have priority in acquiring the right to purchase goods produced in various places. Likewise, our company’s shareholders will have priority in the auction of land...any merchants, workshops, banks, money banks, and farms owned by the company’s shareholders.
You can open and operate businesses within the jurisdiction of our Northeast Governor's Office. You will be exempted from taxes for three years."
The shareholders breathed a sigh of relief and let out a long sigh at the same time. Then slogans praising Yin Feng began to sound everywhere. Some people even openly shouted "The king changed his title and became emperor" to persuade him to advance.
Yin Feng's Jinghai Palace began to fully take over the administrative and financial power of the former Zhonghua Company in Taiwan, southern Fujian, Hainan Island, Jiangnan, Ryukyu, Liaodong and other domestic territories. This kind of gradual reform actually started as early as the Nanyang Raiders, Yin Feng
It was already in progress before becoming king. In Nanyang, Luzon, Korea and colonies such as Guam and the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. As well as in Chinatowns in Siam, Annan, Myanmar and other countries. The China United Company still controls a large part of the administrative and financial power.
.The Chinese United Company has gradually evolved into the model of the later British Empire East India Company.
Yin Feng treated all these changes very calmly. He did not worry at all that the people around him looked at him differently. To everyone, those who exercised power in this huge land now known as "China" were representatives.
King Jinghai led a group of big businessmen, big landowners and meritorious military officers. Yin Feng thought of a word: the joint regime of big businessmen, big landowners and meritorious military aristocrats. It seems that this is an Eastern replica of the German Junker aristocratic regime in another time and space.
.
Amid the cheers of everyone, Yin Feng had returned to his study room in the backyard, where Li Lihua was waiting for him.
"A letter from the King of North Korea to you." Li Lihua sat behind Yin Feng's desk. Without standing up, she threw a beautifully framed letter over angrily: "You have gained a lot this time. Twenty people
The beauty of the royal family of North Korea. Tsk tsk..."
Yin Feng considers himself not a lecherous person. In fact, he is too busy and has no time to be lecherous. In front of beautiful women, Yin Feng's self-control is very limited. After all, he is a realist with ideals. Although his current status
This allowed him to be completely unscrupulous in his sexual pursuits, but he did not degenerate into the role of a stallion.
He knew what Li Lihua was thinking. He laughed: "There are so many beauties from North Korea. Most of the beauties from North Korea have been collected by the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. Looking further back, most of the beauties from North Korea have been collected by the Yuan Dynasty...
"
Yin Feng stepped forward and hugged Li Lihua's body. He picked her up and said, "I am already old. Having a beauty like you is enough!"
"Let go. You're crazy. It's broad daylight...I'm still an old woman." Li Lihua quickly jumped to the ground and gently pushed Yin Feng away: "Treat your beauties well. I'm leaving first. North Korea is negotiating.
The messenger is still waiting..."
Li Lihua walked out of the door quickly. Yin Feng looked at her beautiful figure with a smile. Li Lihua was injured and sick in the Portuguese prison in Macau. She has been unable to have children. So even though she is thirty-six years old, her figure and appearance are still the same as when Yin Feng was at the beginning of her life. Same as when I saw her.
Yin Feng looked at the pile of documents on the desk and sighed; compared to all the paperwork, Yin Feng still likes to study technology with the craftsmen in the weapons research department, or go sketching in the wild with You Wenhui. In the signing room outside the study. Zeng Qi selected a group of scribes for him as secretaries. They have been working for him for a year. Taiwan Island has already held an imperial examination. There have been more than 300 graduates of the Administrative Academy in three batches. They have been assigned to various places as civil servants. Administrative officials. However, as the power of the palace increases day by day, many important matters must be decided by the dictator Yin Feng. And as Yin Feng occupies more and more territory, these matters are becoming more and more important.
A report sent by Zeng Rui from Liaodong on the desk said: The status of King Gwanghae of North Korea is unstable. The political factions in North Korea who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty are planning to overthrow King Gwanghae and establish a new king. Moreover, the two reports sent The so-called beauties of the Li family clan were actually selected from the two noble families of Korea. Yin Feng decided to put aside the envoys of Korea and solve some other problems first. He called Zhang Pan, who had returned to Taiwan to recuperate and report on his work. .and Yan Siqi.
After the Battle of Hetuala, Zhang Pan was sent back to Jinzhouwei and Lushun Port due to injuries. He left the front-line combat troops. Yan Siqi has been commanding the Eastern Route Army to pursue the main force of the Eight Banners soldiers.
At the same time, the main force of the West Route Army, led by Yang Dacheng, surrounded Jiefan City and Shangjianya and other places. It launched an attack on the remaining Eight Banners troops and the new Eight Banners troops coming from the north for reinforcements.
Light field artillery and rapid-fire firearms mounted on wheelbarrows and horse-drawn carriages became decisive on the battlefield. Many charge units of the Eight Banners soldiers were massacred. Artillery firing explosive shells opened the gate of Jiefan City. The Eight Banners The commander of the remaining troops. The temporary flag master of the newly formed blue-flag troops, Jilharang, was also a fierce general. He was seriously injured by artillery bombardment when breaking out of Jiefan City and almost lost his life.
After the defeat of Nurhachi, the main force of the retreating Eight Banners heard the bad news of the fall of Jiefan City on the way.
This was another defeat for the remaining main forces of the Eight Banners of Houjin. The foundation of Jianzhou Jurchen and the home base where Nurhaci started his career had been completely lost. Huang Taiji, who was seriously injured, suggested that he go to the Mongolian grasslands to regroup. Batai wanted to go north to seize territory from the Barbarian Jurchen tribe and seek further development. Jierharang, who retreated from Jiefan City to the Huifa River Basin, sent a letter and recommended Daishan, who was also recovering from his injuries, as the new Great Khan. It is proposed to gather troops in Yehe and Huifa Department in order to fight again.
Jirharang proposed the establishment of a new Khan King, which opened the curtain on the struggle for power and profit among the remaining forces of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Huang Taiji was hit in the left shoulder by an iron bullet from Luo Daquan's rifled gun. As a result, he had a high fever. It was only through his desperate efforts that he was able to bring the two white flag troops out of the Suzi River. Daishan was shot by the Chinese army during the charge on the northern front. He was wounded. He broke away from the brigade with Zhenghongqi and fled all the way. Later he reunited with the remnants of Jilhalang;
And Abatai controls Nurhachi's most elite Bagale soldiers. He also has the support of two yellow flags.
The three defeated armies of the Aixinjueluo family began to compete for the position of the Khan King on the way to escape. From the beginning, they fought with swords and swords, without any regard for brotherhood.
After receiving the news that the Eight Banners surrendered, Zhao Tie, Yan Siqi, Yang Dacheng and other three leaders of the Chinese army's attack on the Jin army unanimously decided to adopt a slow-step encirclement tactic. They sent some troops to encircle the remaining Jin Eight Banners, and the main force was to clear them out. The occupied areas consolidated the rear. They decided not to push the remaining soldiers of the Eight Banners too tightly and waited to see the drama of killing each other begin.
