Accompanied by snowflakes, the Manchu and Qing armies left Beijing with great fanfare and arrived in Shandong.
As a key place for the canal and a wing that protects Beijing, Shandong's position is crucial.
From Tianjin, then to Cangzhou, then Wuqiao, Dezhou, Linqing, and Dongchangfu.
One hundred thousand troops, plus the running civilians, totaled about two hundred thousand people, which can be said to be a mighty force, stretching for hundreds of miles.
The civil and military officials in Shandong left Jinan and knelt down to welcome him in Dongchang.
Prince Zheng, Jierhalang, Prince Su, Hauge, and Dorobelek Dehun, these three are all famous figures in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and have great power.
Even Wu Sangui had to come to greet him in person.
Even he is also a county king.
"I respectfully send you your Majesty's greetings——"
"Holy Holy Gong!"
"We are ordered to punish thieves, and Shandong's civil and military forces will cooperate..."
Prince Zheng took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and babbled it in Manchu.
The Manchus on the side translated and relayed Chinese.
The general meaning is that Shandong must protect the canal's normal supplies, civilians, food and grass, etc., and must also actively protect it and not delay the army.
In addition, Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry will also accompany the army southward.
After hearing this, Wu Sangui's expression changed a bit and he could only agree.
However, Shandong Wenwu's expression was even worse.
With hundreds of thousands of guarantees, the effort involved is hard to measure.
You must know that there are not many people in Shandong at this time, and it is difficult for you to survive. This will cause a big chaos!
But there is no way. The imperial court's request must be fulfilled even if all the people in Shandong die.
"His grandma's, the whole canal is full!"
Chu Yu was near the dock, watching the large number of ships blocking it, and was filled with emotions for a while.
It seems that the news from Beijing is not false.
If we add 30,000 Guan Ning troops, that would be 130,000 people. Can the imperial court withstand it?
Thoughts arose in his mind.
Then he thought of his mission, which was to disrupt the order in Shandong, make the Qing Dynasty exhausted, and affect the operation of grain and grass.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to accomplish anything big just by relying on those bandits."
Chu Yu muttered, and then said: "It seems that we have to win over the gentry. Only with the help of these local snakes can things be done easily."
Thinking like this, he touched the whiteboard in his arms. There were only a few pictures: "Damn it, I've used too much during this time."
"The news must be spread to the south..."
…
At this time, Wenxi, who had been in North Korea for many days, took Li Yingren and recruited more than 3,000 people from the survivors on the Yalu River border. Together with the more than 1,000 people dispatched, they landed on Pidao again.
At this time, Phi Island had been occupied by North Korea, and the people had been relocated and government offices had been established. It was much stronger than before.
A good base will naturally be accepted.
Not long after they landed on the island, the imperial court sent a notice asking them to harass Liaodong as soon as possible.
"Why is it so urgent?" Wenxi couldn't help but ask.
"The Manchu Qing Dynasty has moved south, and its rear is empty. Although there are few of you these days, it is the right time to come."
Jin Yiwei said a few words, turned around and left without saying a word.
However, he brought the appointment of the imperial court.
Li Yingren was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Wenxi, with the title of censor, was the governor of Liaodong.
"What's this?"
Wenxi was helpless.
The dignified Minister of Rites became the governor out of thin air, and it was really a headache to be the governor of only one island.
Li Yingren was delighted.
"Not yet 30 years old, I have already become the commander-in-chief and governor Wen. The emperor's grace is so great!"
"The Emperor's grace is so great -" Wenxi shouted in a dull tone.
Although they were both promoted, their ideas were completely different.
However, Li Yingren became more interested and shouted: "The empty space behind the slave establishment is a great opportunity for us to make contributions."
"Dare you disobey your orders?"
Wenxi could only agree.
Wasn't the reason why he was sent to North Korea just because he was brave? Now that there is no way out, we can only act according to the will.
"General Li, your Li family has lived in Liaodong for a long time. You must have a lot of old relatives, right?"
Hearing this, Li Yingren said with some embarrassment: "Although my ancestor Cheng Liang Gong came from the Li family in Tieling, his family moved to Beijing after he became the commander-in-chief of Liaodong..."
After Lu continued talking for a quarter of an hour, Wenxi suddenly understood.
It turned out that the Li Chengliang family was originally from Korea. Soon after Chang Yuchun and others regained Liaodong, they became Ming people and inherited military positions.
Li Chengliang's branch belongs to the direct branch of the eldest family. After Li Chengliang became famous, he migrated to Beijing. Those who stayed in Liaodong were the second- to fifth-fang people.
To put it bluntly, those who stayed in Tieling were all poor people.
After Nurhaci took Tieling, the Li family he massacred was actually just the second brother, and Li Chengliang became a complete Beijinger.
Among Li Chengliang's disciples, Ru Rusong (died in battle in 1598), Rubai (formerly the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, went to battle in Saarhu at the age of 67, and committed suicide in 1621 after being humiliated), Ruzhen (commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Tieling fell) Later, he was exiled), Ru Zhang (Chief Military Officer of Yansui, impeached at the age of 43, became an official in the prime of life), Rumei (Chief Military Officer of Liaodong, died of illness after being demoted) all once fought in the battlefield of Liaodong, and all of them accumulated merits to the rank of Deputy Commander-in-Chief. , General.
Among the grandchildren are Huaizhong (Wu Jinshi, transferred from Liaodong in 1621 and served as deputy commander-in-chief of Gushan in Yansui), Zhongzhong (deputy commander-in-chief of Kaiyuan, impeached in 1615 and became an official), Xingzhong (deputy commander of Denglai Navy, Beijing fell in the battle, and Xianzhong (the deputy general of the Liaodong General Army, died in the battle) all fought on the battlefield in Liaodong, and most of their great-grandchildren (ancestral generations) also participated in the battle on the front line until the entire territory of Liaodong fell.
"Nowadays, the only people who have been enslaved are the second brother Li Sizhong and others. The eldest brother and I have died in many battles. We have no second thoughts."
When Li Yingren said this, even though he was a rough guy, his eyes turned red.
"Jian Nu is trying to confuse the public, and he is saying that our Li family has two boats. It is a thousand miles wrong. How can we surrender if we are enemies of our country and our family?"
Wenxi sighed, and then bowed with admiration on his face: "The nobles have poured their blood into Liaodong, and Wenxi admires him."
"That's all, it's all thanks to my ancestors. I feel ashamed of my ancestors, so I can only escape to North Korea and save my clothes."
Li Yingren smiled bitterly.
"We have five thousand troops now, Liaodong is very close at hand, it's the right time to make achievements!"
Wenxi held his head high and was full of momentum.
"Okay!" Li Yingren nodded and laughed: "We can't defeat those armored men, how can we defeat those slaves wearing clothes?"
"That's right, we specialize in packing clothes."
Wenxi nodded and said in a deep voice: "In the land of Liaodong in the past, millions of Han people were reduced to slaves, with no guarantee of food and clothing, and their descendants were treated as livestock. Our trip is dedicated to digging out the roots and saving the people from water and fire."
"As long as there is chaos in Liaodong, Beijing will be uneasy and it can also alleviate Nanjing's difficulties."
"Pi Dao now has no shortage of money and food. Let the Manchus taste the taste of being stabbed in the buttocks." Li Yingren shouted.
"Rude—" Wenxi scolded with a smile,
