When Prince Regent Rui, the uncle of the Qing Emperor, was ordered by General Dorgon to personally lead an army of 10,000 white flags and blue flags, they left Beijing to march south in a mighty manner. The flag of "The Reincarnation of Emperor Taizu Gao" by Zhu Cixiang, the crown prince of Fujun in the Ming Dynasty, was already flying high over Fengyang Mansion in the central capital of the Ming Dynasty!
After Zhu Cihong "killed" Hauge in formation, no one in the Qing army south of the Huaihe River dared to test his strength! Bahana and Aobai gathered seven or eight thousand remnant soldiers, and retreated across the pond in panic. They joined forces with Kong Youde and Shang Kexi who were preparing to cross the river. Then they fled together to the outside of Fengyangfu City, and then surrounded Fengyangfu Forbidden Wall. The Qing troops in the fort joined forces and retreated across the Huaihe River...
In just a few days, there were no more Qing soldiers south of the Huaihe River!
However, the Qing army's retreat did not stop immediately after crossing the Huaihe River, but continued to retreat all the way. They didn't even look for the wind, they just covered their heads and ran away, abandoning the Huaibei Prefecture and County of Fengyang Prefecture and Runing Prefecture that they had previously occupied, and the whole army retreated to Guide Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan before they could stop.
In the direction of Xuzhou, He Luohui, who had succeeded in the previous "raid on Xuzhou", also fled in panic. Without waiting for the Ming army to counterattack, they abandoned the Xuzhou city and the two county towns of Peixian and Fengxian, and returned to Yanzhou Prefecture with their tail between their legs to join Duoduo.
Now Prince Zhu is really a bit powerful in the southeast!
Many people were skeptical about the last battle at Dagukou. Who knows if those heads were obtained by killing good people and taking credit?
And after the battle at Dagokou, didn’t Zhu Cixiang go to Dengzhou to protect Chongzhen? If we are really going to win, it’s time to return to Beijing!
But this time no one doubted it...the Tatars even admitted it! It was Zhu Cixi who stabbed Hauge to death with two swords.
Moreover, the Tatar army then fled in vain!
Who dares to doubt Prince Zhu?
So Zhu Cixiang is really awesome this time!
A Tatar prince like Hauge was killed by him, who would dare to disobey him? In the southeast, central south, and southwest, who dares to take pictures of their breasts and say they are better than Hauge? Who dares to say that his army can defeat 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers?
"Chen Huang Degong respectfully invites the thousand-year-old Lord Jin An!"
"Your Majesty Gaojie respectfully invites the thousand-year-old Lord Jin An..."
In front of the Fengtian Gate in the Forbidden Wall (the interior of the bastion is actually the original Fengyang Forbidden City, most of the buildings were destroyed by the bandits, but the Fengtian Gate is still there), Huang Degong and Gao Jie, who came from Xuzhou and Suzhou, Zhu Cihong was bowing to Zhu Cixiang on the throne.
This is not the first time Zhu Cixiang and the others have paid homage, but this time they are truly convinced. Hauge is dead, and 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers have attacked. How many pounds do they have? Dare you be unconvinced? Tired of life?
"Stand flat, please sit down!" Zhu Cixiang was still smiling.
Huang Degong and Gao Jie both stood up and looked at Prince Zhu secretly. They both felt that there was a fierceness in his smile!
He is indeed a ruthless person, so be careful!
Two of Zhu Cixiang's guards moved two embroidery piers. Huang Degong and Gao Jie did not dare to sit down. They sat with half their buttocks and their hands still holding their knees. How could they still look like lawless warlords?
Zhu Cixiang looked at them with a smile: "How many troops do you two have? To be honest, not counting the old, weak, sick and disabled, how many more can be trained?"
"Hui, back to Master Qian Sui," Huang Degong said first, "My lord, I actually have 30,000 soldiers and generals under my command, and about 20,000 are strong."
Historically, Huang Degong beat Zuo Liangyu's command, which was said to have 800,000 men, so he obviously had some strength.
"Okay," Zhu Cixi nodded, with a smile on his face, "It's good to have 20,000 strong people... 20,000 strong people, divided into an average of 100 acres, is 2 million acres! The rest Ten thousand people, please send them away with silver. I’ll give you one hundred thousand taels of silver, can you handle it?”
What? Does this mean that military power will be taken away?
Huang Degong could hear his heart breaking!
How many years of savings did Prince Zhu take away with just one sentence?
After Prince Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Huang Degong with a smile.
The death of Haug and the escape of the Tatars are two big themes! It's rare that Dorgon is quite cooperative... With such a good subject matter, Zhu Cixiang certainly has to work hard. After speculation, you cannot cash out and leave, so you can only conduct "mergers and acquisitions." Zhu Cixiang's two preferred "merger and acquisition" targets were the armies of Huang Degong and Gao Jie.
Zhu Chunjie had already figured out the basics of these two people. With the capital at their disposal, there was no problem in organizing 10 Zhuweixie (New Army Guards) each.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Huang Degong was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead, "My soldiers and generals are all used to being at ease, and I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the hardship of defeating the new army!"
"Those who can endure hardships," Zhu Cixiang smiled, "the land is in place and the money is in place, so any kind of hardship is not a problem. Besides, the training of the new army to overcome difficulties is not too difficult... A little longer.
In addition, there is not much land available for distribution in Huainan and Jiangnan now! How about allocating land to your people in Suzhou, Mengcheng, Lingbi, Hongxian, Suining, and Taoyuan? "
The territory given by Zhu Cixiang is at the angle between the Xu and Huai sections of the south-flowing Yellow River and the Huai River. It is a land of one state and five counties. Because the Qing army invaded the south before, the people were almost gone, and a lot of land was left uncultivated. Naturally, it was very difficult. It is easy to circle 2 million acres.
Huang Degong looked embarrassed, "Master Qiansui, these territories are too close to the Tatars..."
"Are you afraid of Tatars?" Zhu Cixiang asked with a smile.
"My lord, my lord..."
Seeing Huang Degong at a loss, Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Don't be afraid... I will make proper arrangements. I will stay in Zhongdu for some days to supervise the deployment of the Huaihe River. With me here, Tatar I dare not come south. In a few days, there will be ten fortresses between Huang and Huai, and Huang Qing will be able to sit back and relax in Huaibei."
Huang Degong breathed a sigh of relief: "With Master Qiantui in charge, I am confident that I can manage the land in Huaibei."
"That's how it should be!" Zhu Cixiang nodded approvingly, "I will set up a town in Huaibei, with Qing as the chief military officer... In addition, the land of Xuyi will still be your fiefdom."
"I thank you, Lord Qiansui, for your kindness." Huang Degong quickly stood up and knelt down.
In fact, Zhu Cixi didn't love him very much. He turned out to be the commander-in-chief of Henan, ruling the first Guide Prefecture and half of the Kaifeng Prefecture. Now he has become the commander-in-chief of Huaibei, and his territory covers one state and five counties. Turns out half of it is gone! Moreover, his recruited soldiers were turned into field soldiers and incorporated into the new army system to overcome difficulties, under the jurisdiction of the Generalissimo's Office and the Ministry of War.
"Gao Qing," Zhu Cixiang smiled and said to Gao Jie again, "the land of Xuhai has been a battle for military strategists since ancient times. How many people do you have under your command? How many fields should be granted and how many fortresses should be built?"
"I have twenty-five thousand soldiers," Gao Jie knew that he had not run away, so he had to bite the bullet and report, "They are all close and strong...Xuzhou is located on the bank of the hanging river and is not easy to defend. If you are a thousand-year-old master, you must be here When Xuzhou is fortified, I can send people to build a mountain city.
As for granting farmland, the land in Haizhou and Pizhou is fertile, mostly paddy fields, and two million acres is enough. However, there was a large population in the Pi and Hai area, and there was not much unowned land that could be granted. "
"How come there isn't?" Zhu Cixiang smiled, "Don't worry, Gao Qing. I will send the imperial censor and the Qingtian officer from the military camp division to investigate. More than two million acres of official land, military land, and hidden land can always be found." Found it.”
It’s time to move forward with the land survey work in Qingdao while the iron is hot! It is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation not only in South Zhili, but also in Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces! After everything was investigated, the southeastern territory was truly controlled by Zhu Cixiang.
Having made up his mind to further investigate the fields, Prince Zhu smiled and said to Huang Degong and Gao Jie: "I have great trust in you two, and the defense of Huaibei must be handed over to these two generals. As for sending your troops Reorganizing horses into guards is also necessary to defend Huaibei..."
While he was talking, military advisor Li Yan suddenly walked in quickly, holding a booklet in his hand. When Zhu Cihong saw him, he knew there was an urgent military matter. He didn't hide it from Huang Degong and Gao Jie, and asked on the spot: "Military advisor, what happened?"
"Master Chitose, Dorgon is here!"
