The north wind whines, and everything withers.
In mid-February, there was a sense of apocalyptic desolation in and around Shengjing. White soul-calling flags could be seen everywhere in the city, and paper money could be seen everywhere on the streets. At this time, almost every family in and around the city wore mourning, and the Eight Banners people cried every day in their homes. howl.
On this day, Dai Shan rode his horse through the streets with a pale face. A fire in Yongfu Palace two days ago burned all Huang Taiji's descendants to death. Although Dorgon was furious and killed more than a dozen "responsible persons" ”, but anyone who is not an idiot knows what is going on.
The subsequent series of turmoil in the court cast a scarlet color on this early spring. It was through this series of iron-fisted measures that Dorgon temporarily controlled the power of the Qing Dynasty and finally secured the throne of the Qing Dynasty.
Dorgon's enthronement ceremony was also very shabby. The current Qing Dynasty is in need of money, food, and soldiers. It is almost on the verge of collapse. The most important thing is that the Qing Dynasty is now on the verge of collapse. People's hearts are all in unison. The bannermen and people who stayed behind with the two yellow flags, the red flags, and the two blue flags in Manchuria are all in vain. They don't have the slightest sense of identity for the new emperor Dorgon. At this time, the only remaining people in the Qing Dynasty The morale of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is also low, and it is difficult to see the vigor of the past.
This situation is completely different from Daishan's previous vision and what Dorgon once promised. It can be said to be the opposite!
Dorgon promised that after he ascended the throne, he would carry out thorough reforms, which would make the Qing Dynasty rich and powerful in a short period of time, and he could train a Qing Dynasty army that could defeat Liu Yan. But what now? The Qing Dynasty was on the verge of collapse!
Kindness is hidden in the heart of this era
Hidden regret, was my choice right or wrong?
Now Dorgon handed over the garrison affairs of Shengjing and surrounding areas to Duduo, and also ordered the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner to Gushan'e Zhenengtu, the Mongolian Red Banner to Gushan'e Zhenbu Yandai, the Zhengbai Banner to Gushan'e Zhenyibai, The four men from Gushan Ezhensuna of Xiangbai Banner organized their troops and led troops from various Mongolian banners to various parts of the grassland as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts and minds of various tribes on the grassland.
Duduo also began to send people to various parts of the Qing Dynasty to recruit military generals and civil servants from various places to come to Beijing to stabilize the place as soon as possible and win the support of the Manchu nobles.
As for Daishan, Dorgon arranged a tour of Shengjing City and ordered him to try his best to stabilize the situation inside and outside the capital and calm the hearts of the people in the city.
Daishan knew in his heart that this was Dorgon starting to take precautions against him. While sighing in his heart, there was nothing he could do. At this point, there was only one way to go.
"Master, there is another family having a funeral ahead. We have already encountered 13 or 4 families having a funeral along the way."
"Eh? I seem to know that family. Yes, it's Manchuria's Niu Lu E Zhen Bazi Mo. He also has his mother, wife, and four children at home. From the looks of it, his family is probably living a good life. Can’t go down anymore.”
Daishan nodded, and led a group of soldiers over with a gloomy face. He saw an old woman, a young woman and four children, guarding a memorial tablet for the funeral, and several men, women and children who should be from the family behind. Follow.
But a group of people walked out of the city, but there was no coffin in sight, which seemed very strange.
Daishan felt very uncomfortable looking at the miserable appearance of that family.
Coming back from this battle is different
In the past, except for the two white flags and red flags of Manchuria and the two white flags and two red flags of Mongolia, the other flags, whether they were generals or soldiers, all had neither alive nor dead bodies, and no one brought their bodies back. There were not even the clothes and supplies needed for the tomb.
Because of this, Dorgon took the opportunity to issue an order not to provide pensions to the families of the destroyed banners for the time being, but to use the little money and food left by the Qing Dynasty to stabilize the army. After all, at this time, the two white flags, the red flags and the The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Mongolia's two red flags and two white flags are the top priority.
"Head of the family, why did you leave us orphans and widows alone? How can we live like this?"
"My son died fighting for the Qing Dynasty. In the end, he couldn't even see his body, and the court didn't provide any compensation. How can this family live?"
Daishan watched the orphaned and widowed mother wailing and walking to the cemetery outside the city while guarding a lonely memorial tablet, and ripples appeared in her heart. Among the people watching along the way, most of them were from various banners in Manchuria. Seeing the tragic situation of this family, they couldn't help but think of their family members and relatives at home, and many people started to cry.
At this time, neither Daishan nor the orphans and widowers of that family realized why there was such a situation of mourning in every family in Shengjing today. They did not consider themselves invaders, but just hated the soldiers of Ming Dynasty. Resistance, why can't you take out the flowers and mountains of China and let everyone share them?
If the Ming army had not resisted, every household would have made a lot of money, and they would even be assigned a few Han slaves. The men in the family would also have a good future.
Will it be reduced to a wooden memorial tablet with no corpse to be seen?
So at this time, all the Manchus in Shengjing City began to shout against the Han people. Many of the Han slaves who had been captured in the city had been tortured to death in the past few days. The reward for Daishan alone was no less than hundreds. people!
Daishan watched for a while, feeling more and more melancholy in his heart, so he led his troops and rushed towards the palace again, preparing to report the affairs of the past few days to Dorgon, but he did not want to be blocked by two groups of people again.
"You bastard!"
A thirteen-year-old boy said angrily: "My Amma is a Baya La warrior from the Zhenghuang Banner. He must have died in a fierce battle after killing a Han dog. He was definitely not captured and killed by the Ming army, absolutely not!"
There were many men, women, and children cheering around, and it looked like they were wearing the same yellow Manchurian flag as the little boy.
Opposite, a man in a vest in his thirties sneered and said: "Don't believe it, you Zhenghuangqi are all cowards. They were defeated in one battle. The Ming army captured so many prisoners, and now you still have the nerve to follow them." Did I yell?"
"I also tell you, I think this house is very good. Sell it to me for one tael of silver and let your sister come over to serve it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
This vest was clearly a soldier with the red flag in Manchuria. He was talking proudly when he suddenly saw Daishan who was blocked by the side. He hurriedly dropped the soldiers with the yellow flag and ran over to kowtow to Daishan.
"Master! Servant Jin Kexiao comes to see the master!"
Daishan was furious at this moment. These slaves, who had failed to achieve anything but failed more than failed, were bullying men and women. They even talked about things on the battlefield and thought they were inappropriate.
Ranma enough?
"What are you doing?"
When the bannermen of Zhenghuang Flag saw Daishan, they were too frightened to say anything and hid aside without speaking.
Jin Kexiao said flatteringly: "Haha, I lack a girl who can warm my feet at home, so I have taken a fancy to the daughter of this family. Both his father and son were captured and killed by the Ming army. The family is in trouble, and I just come to help. .”
Daishan said coldly: "You bastard, the two yellow flag warriors all fought hard and died for their country. How could anyone be captured by the Ming army!"
Jin Kexiao was stunned immediately, looked at Daishan in confusion, and immediately met Daishan's cannibalistic eyes, and said hurriedly: "Ah! Yes, the slave is confused and talking nonsense! Both yellow flag warriors are Fight and die.”
Then Daishan whipped Jin Kejiu's body, and Jin Kejiu said with a feeling of relief: "Thank you, master, for the beating, thank you, master, for the beating!"
"roll!"
Daishan scolded angrily: "If you want to find someone to warm your feet, go grab a Han woman, don't embarrass yourself in Shengjing!"
"Hey! I'll go right now, slave."
After driving away Jin Kexiao, Daishan looked at the bannermen with the yellow flag and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and rode away with the people.
In the Chongzheng Hall, Daishan strode into the hall and saw Dorgon wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair and reviewing the memorial. He was calm and leisurely, and he actually had a bit of an emperor's bearing.
"This slave pays homage to His Majesty!"
Dorgon looked up at Daishan and said with a smile: "Prince Li has worked tirelessly these past few days, and the people in the city are at peace. He has made great contributions!"
Dai Shan said: "I dare not take credit, but I want to apologize to Your Majesty."
Dorgon asked: "What crime did Prince Li commit?"
generation
Shan then described the scenes he had seen in Shengjing City in the past few days, especially the situation of every family in the city wearing filial piety, and the situation where people from the two white and red banners began to oppress the bannermen of other banners. He also reported it together Fan.
"Your Majesty, our Qing Dynasty was defeated in Yanqing Prefecture. Half of the Manchu and Mongolian warriors were lost. All Mongolian tribes in the outer vassals and all banners of the Han army were wiped out. The Qing Dynasty has been severely weakened. The remaining banners and flags must not rise again. There is internal strife, otherwise our Qing Dynasty will never be able to recover again!"
"For the current plan, Your Majesty should reorganize the bannermen of each banner as soon as possible and send relief as soon as possible to calm people's hearts and improve the morale of the warriors in the army."
Looking at Daishan who looked concerned about the country and the people, Dorgon also showed a hint of solemnity and said: "I am also aware of these situations, so I am preparing to rebuild the Eight Banners of Manchu, Mongolia and Han. However, the things involved are complicated, and each banner Lord, the choice of Gu Shan'erzhen is a big issue, so I have been worried about it these days."
Daishan knew that he could not say anything on this candidate issue, otherwise Dorgon would definitely be suspicious of himself given his current paranoia.
So Dai Shan said: "Your Majesty's Holy Judgment is arbitrary, and there must be a clue. When the time comes, I will just wait and carry out your Majesty's will."
"You old fox!"
Dorgon sneered in his heart, but still smiled on the surface and said, "In that case, I'm relieved."
Then Dorgon took out several more memorials and discussed some government affairs with Daishan. Suddenly, Dorgon entered the Chongzheng Hall with a livid face. After saluting, he said: "Your Majesty, I have just received the news. The red flag is on the mountain." Ezhen Engel diagram
, with the red flag Gushan'e Zhenbuyandai, with the white flag Gushan'e Zhenyibai, with the white flag Gushan'e Zhensuna issued the imperial edict to return to the grassland to rectify the various ministries, instead of containing Dingkou and preventing the Ming army from moving north, they Started to annex other Mongolian tribes. "
"Now the grassland tribes are in chaos. Many bannermen from Mongolia's two yellow and two blue banners have begun to flee south, and even fled into the Ming Dynasty!"
Dorgon said angrily: "These trash! I asked them to go back to stabilize the grassland, but they actually expanded their power privately. Are they trying to rebel?"
Daishan also frowned and asked Dodo for some details in a low voice, and then said: "Your Majesty should recall Ngetu, Buyendai, Yibai, and Suna to Shengjing as soon as possible, and first reprimand the four of them. and then discuss with them the rebuilding of the Eight Banners of Mongolia."
Dorgon also had this intention, but he still had some doubts in his heart, so he asked Daishan and Duduo: "We are just rebuilding the two yellow banners and the blue banner of Mongolia. Who is really good at Gushan'e?"
