Sun Zhixian never thought that one day he would be forced to become the governor of Shandong!
Governor of Shandong! It would have been a dream in the past, but now he just wants to resign and leave Beijing, and live in seclusion somewhere where no one knows him - he knows what role he is, and he is worse than Jiang Gan!
Because Jiang Gan was deceived by Zhou Yu, it was a matter of ability, not position. But in order to leave Nanming alive, Sun Zhixian betrayed the Qing Dynasty in Yangzhou. He also acted as a villain in Nanjing together with Zuk Kefa and Jin Zhijun, and the Qing Dynasty was as black as coal... ..
If Dorgon knew what he did in Nanjing, it wouldn't be a matter of dismissal or loss of status, but a matter of execution!
But it was not easy to live in seclusion. His hometown was under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the property and land were gone. And the property he brought to Beijing was not much. After becoming an official in the Qing Dynasty, he didn't have much time to make money. So he didn't have much money on hand, and it was hard for his whole family to eat with him, so why live in seclusion? Find a deserted place to starve to death?
So after he was dismissed, he has been living in Beijing... When he was desperate, Dorgon actually made him governor of Shandong and asked him to appease the powerful gentry in Shandong!
He is a nationally known eunuch traitor, and he has publicly stated that he wants to dig up Confucius's grave... How do you say that he is asked to appease the powerful gentry in Shandong? Let's vote for the Qing Dynasty together, and then go to Qufu to fight against each other?
Can it be done?
But he didn't dare to say no to Dorgon! Dorgon was already dissatisfied with him. If he still didn't know the truth, don't live in seclusion, just drag him to the market and kill him!
So he bit the bullet and became the governor of Shandong... He took it one day at a time and became the governor with his head in his belt.
But when he followed He Luohui's army from Wuqiao Town, Texas and entered the ground in Shandong, his mood suddenly improved.
Because his Shandong fellows have solved the biggest problem for him - how to recruit him!
After leaving the border of Beizhili and entering the ground of Shandong, everything you see along the way is devastation!
It was mid-May, a time of prosperity.
But along the way, I saw only barren fields, and human traces could only be described as rare. As for the towns on both sides of the canal, most of them had been burned, leaving only ruins...
OK! The Shandong fellows were very clever and ran away without waiting for the Qing soldiers to come and kill them! Sun Zhixian was so happy in his heart - all the people in Shandong had run away, so of course there was no need to recruit him, and his job would not be messed up... If the job was not messed up, he would be able to be the governor for a while. , if you earn a little bit, you will not be poor in the future.
However, his good mood cannot be shown on his face. He Luo Hui, the real man with the yellow flag on the mountain, is walking alongside him!
"Our Qing soldiers invaded Shandong twice in the first year of Chongde and in the fourth year of Chongde. It was a great victory. We killed more than a million people and plundered hundreds of thousands. We killed children in Shandong and heard about the reputation of our Qing Dynasty. They didn’t dare to cry anymore. So this time they heard that the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were coming again, so they ran away first..."
He Luohui also frowned when he heard Sun Zhixian talking about the two previous Qing troops entering Shandong. Those two entrance battles were really great victories. The harvest was more than the previous entrance battles. Everyone up and down the Eight Banners followed suit... But I didn't expect Nikan from Shandong to have a long memory and ran away before the heavenly soldiers came again!
Looking at the desolate scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "But this time the regent has said something, let us kill less and rob less..."
"That's right!" Sun Zhixian nodded and said, "The people here in Shandong have been deceived by the red thieves for a long time. They don't know how benevolent and righteous our Qing Dynasty is. It seems that we can only think of ways to recruit them after taking Dongchang Mansion. Lure the exiled people back home."
Now the route of the Qing Dynasty's invasion of Shandong is divided into two routes from the northwest. The west route is the main force. Duduo commands the main force of the White Banner, a part of the Zhenghong Banner, the Eight Banners plus the coated minions, plus Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo's green battalion troops. A total of more than 30,000 people invaded from the direction of Damingfu and captured Guanxian, Guantao and Linqing prefectures.
The North Road is a partial division. He Luohui, who was renamed Zhenghuang Banner and Gushan Ezhen, commanded one unit each of Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, Zhenghong Banner, and Xianghong Banner. Together with the Green Battalion commanded by Wu Weihua, the total strength was 15,000. Attack from the direction of Hejian Prefecture, capture Dezhou, Gucheng, and Wucheng, and go to Linqingzhou to join forces with Duduo.
After joining forces, Duduo will command the main force of the entire army, move south along the canal, and finally attack Qufu City.
After General Sun Zhixian was captured by the Qing army in Linqing Prefecture, he established the Shandong governor's office of the Qing Dynasty there and began to recruit the gentry and heroes in Shandong for the Qing Dynasty... He always still had the Qing Dynasty in his hands. The top can be used, and it should be able to win some heads.
...
"Futai, you see there are too many people here. We don't have that much land..."
At the same time, Li Dakai, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Jinan garrison, was pointing at the endless stream of refugees outside Jinan City and complained softly to Gao Hongtu, the governor of Shandong and the commander-in-chief of the Jinan garrison on the other side of the Ming Dynasty.
These refugees all came from the prefectures and counties under Jinan Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture! This wave of refugees has not just started, but has been going on for a long time.
Ever since the Qing Dynasty occupied houses and land in Beijing and Beizhili, and forced Han people into slavery, the flow of refugees has gradually increased. First, the Han people who escaped from Beizhili and Beijing City, no matter what they were originally, are now all devastated, and they are almost like beggars after entering Shandong.
Under their demonstration effect, people in the northern part of Jinan Prefecture (north of Daqing River), Dongchang Prefecture, and the northwest of Yanzhou Prefecture (west and north of Yanzhou Fucheng and Qufu City) also began to flee their homes in large numbers - these places were being The Qing army at the entrance had massacred twice. The people living there now all survived the disaster and did not have a good impression of the Qing Dynasty. Seeing that Beizhili is like that, why don't you just pack up your things and run away?
The Shandong Governor's Yamen did not stop it, but instead issued an order to the Yamen in Yanbian County to organize the evacuation of the people!
Therefore, the scale of the refugee flow became larger and larger. By the spring and summer of the 18th year of Chongzhen, almost all the prefectures and counties in Shandong Province and the Qing Dynasty had been emptied.
The Denglai Governor's Yamen, Shandong Governor's Yamen and Shandong Tuanlian Yamen were all busy recruiting people during this period.
Among them, the Denglai Governor's Yamen was recruiting people on behalf of Zhu Cixiang. The main targets were refugees who had escaped from Beijing and Beizhili. They were all "bitter and bitter" and they were all northerners. They were not interested in the new army that had overcome difficulties. Words are the best source of troops!
In addition, these people will also tell the "Northern Yuan Cong" in the new army to overcome the difficulties of the miserable experiences of the people in Beijing and Beizhili - they have all been ruined, and they are not clamoring for revenge?
Therefore, most of the people who escaped from Beijing and Zhili were arranged by the Denglai Governor's Yamen to go south and were resettled in Nanjing and the port city of Shanghai, which was under construction.
The people who fled from Yanbianzhou County in Shandong were "divided" between the Shandong Governor's Yamen and the Shandong Tuanlian Yamen.
The names of these two yamen seem to be provincial-level yamen in Shandong Province, but in fact the areas they can govern are all at the prefectural level. Among them, the areas that the Shandong Governor's Yamen can now manage are Jinan Prefecture and half of Yanzhou Prefecture. The Shandong Tuanlian Minister's Yamen does not care about the league training in the whole province, but only manages some prefectures and counties in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou Prefecture. It not only manages the league training, but also manages the administration of these states and counties - in fact, it is also controlled by the military and government. Fanzhen!
However, these two vassal towns do not have 100% control over the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction, because there are still many small and medium-sized local tyrants in these prefectures and counties, and they may not buy Gao Hongtu and Zuo Maodi's account. Therefore, the Shandong Governor's Yamen and the Shandong Tuanlian Minister's Yamen also began to seize the population and land.
The method used by these two yamen to capture the population and land is to promote farming! The people who escaped from Yanbianzhou County in Shandong are the source of the population. I dare not imagine that there are more, but there are still hundreds of thousands.
What is more troublesome is the land. Although Shandong was severely ravaged by the Qing army nine years ago, and the population decreased by two to three million, the prefectures and counties with few people are close to Beizhili and Henan. The population of Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou and Taiyi mountainous areas, which were relatively lightly affected by the disaster, has not decreased much, and there is not much unclaimed wasteland left.
