It took more than a month for the imperial edict to summon Duduo to the pilgrimage. It was not until the first month of the tenth year of Hongxing in the Ming Dynasty that it was transferred to Jianzhou Castle far away by Xingkai Lake.
At this time, the inside and outside of Jianzhou Castle were completely white! It's not only the snow that's white, but also the white flags and cloths hung everywhere, and the white linen filial piety clothes worn by Bai, an official from Maodong in the city. The entire Jianzhou City was paying tribute to Dodo, the lord of Guanwai and Korea who passed away on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
Twenty-two-year-old Doni was also wearing a heavy filial piety. At this time, he was keeping a vigil for Dodo, who was lying comfortably in a large coffin of fine nanmu.
There were two eminent monks kneeling on a futon opposite him. One of them was Duduo's brother, the great monk Azige. He hurriedly protected the disciples before the Ming army arrived at Dorgon's mausoleum in Jieshi Mountain. Dorgon's coffin was dug out of the ground and fled outside the customs, living with Duduo.
Duduo did not embarrass his brother who had lost his power. He also built a temple called Jile Temple in a valley in Changbai Mountain near Xingkai Lake, specializing in Azige's residence. But he didn't expect that before the Jile Temple was built, Duduo himself had already passed away!
Another eminent monk has an even greater background. He is a great monk from Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain, Shanxi, named Sony! It was the Sony who disappeared with Fulin.
It turned out that Fulin did not die, but became a monk to avoid disaster and became a monk, but he still did not forget to restore the Qing Dynasty. So he hid in the south after Emperor Zhu's memorial and went south, and the situation in the north was a little calmer, so he sent his confidants to contact old friends and prepare to wait for an opportunity.
The old troops he contacted were mainly two groups of people. One group was the troops of Jierharang and Chang Adai who originally occupied Datong. They gave up Datong after the Battle of Beijing and went to Tumochuan to establish an independent capital in Anbei. The naturalized army protecting the mansion. Jierhalang served as the garrison envoy of the naturalized army, and Chang Adai served as the camp envoy of Tumochuan. The registered number of generals in the naturalized army is 2,000, which does not occupy the establishment of the Anbei Army, and military expenses do not need to be provided by the Anbei Army. However, when the Anbei Protectorate needs to mobilize naturalized soldiers and generals, it still needs to pay according to the contract signed between the naturalized army, the Anbei Army, and the Ming court. The Zhu Ming Dynasty, which was rebuilt by Zhu Cixiang, is now very Pay attention to the spirit of contract, contracts are everywhere!
According to this contract, the two positions of naturalized army garrison envoy and Tumochuan camp field envoy will be hereditary for three generations by the descendants of Jierhalang and Chang Adai. After three generations, the personnel power of the naturalized army will be controlled by the Ming Dynasty court. .
Because the hereditary privileges of three generations have been confirmed, and the naturalized military town is surrounded by two strong towns, Shuofang and Anbei, neither Jierhalang nor Chang Adai dare to think about restoring the Qing Dynasty—— The naturalized army's military establishment is only 2,000 people, and the actual number is about the same.
The Shuofang and Anbei armies have large establishments of twelve regiments, four battalions, and one division. The twelve regiments, including auxiliaries, have 30,000 troops. In addition to two artillery battalions, two engineering battalions, and a protective department, the total strength is about 33,000. The combined armies of Shuofang and Anbei amounted to an army of 66,000, which was more than thirty times that of the naturalized army!
In addition, in order to cope with grassland operations, the Shuofang and Anbei armies each organized and trained four regiments of musketry cavalry (black gun mule soldiers) and a cavalry artillery battalion for mobile operations. The remaining regiments are divided into battalions and companies and are stationed in dangerous locations.
In addition, the Shuofang and Anbei armies each have a fortress artillery battalion, which is stationed in company units at eight locations including Ningxia, Wuyuan, Jiuyuan, Lingzhou, Dongsheng, Datong, Yulin, and Jining. Among them, Ningxia, Lingzhou, and Datong are old castles, while Wuyuan, Jiuyuan, Dongsheng, Yulin, and Jining are all newly built or rebuilt castles.
Five of them belonged to the Shuofang Army, located between the north and south rivers of the Yellow River in the Hetao area. The Shuofang Army established the Yingtian Division and the Qunmu Division there.
Jiuyuan City is located at the foot of Muna Mountain, which is the area of Baotou City in later generations. Shuofang's army set up a field division there and planned to cultivate farmland between Muna Mountain and the Yellow River.
Dongsheng City was rebuilt at the intersection of the Yellow River and Heihui River where the original Dongsheng Acropolis in the early Ming Dynasty was located, and it belonged to the Anbei Army.
Yulin City is also a reconstructed castle. It is located on the north bank of Tumao River, close to the Great Wall of Datong Town. It was built in the early Ming Dynasty and was abandoned in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The Anbei Army began to rebuild Yulin Castle in the ninth year of Hongxing in the Ming Dynasty.
Jining City is a newly built castle located near Jining Haizi, north of the Great Wall in Datong Town. Anbei Army began building the city there in the spring of the ninth year of Datong.
These newly built or rebuilt castles are all "simple bastions" built with sandbags, soil and wood. However, the current "simple bastions" are completely different from the simple bastions that just appeared ten years ago. Son. Their design prototypes have been improved many times. Even if they are only defended by an infantry battalion and a fortress artillery battery (usually 16 artillery pieces), it is not something that the naturalized army and the Mongolians on the grassland can chew down. .
In addition, Huang Degong's Daning Town and Gao Jie's Beiping Town now have the same military establishment as Shuofang and Anbei Towns, and eight town-level castles are also planned. They are Xuanfu, Kaiping, Zhangjiakou, and Pangu Town belonging to the Peking Army; Chengde, Daning, Hongshan, and Quaning belonging to the Daning Army.
In other words, the four towns of Shuofang, Anbei, Beiping, and Daning, which were responsible for Antai in the Northern Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, had a total of 16 towns and 132,000 registered soldiers. The registered soldiers of the northern vassal army were divided into military households and There are two types of military recruitment. The infantry soldiers responsible for guarding castles and strongholds are all military household soldiers. The 16 regiments of cavalry in the four towns and all artillery, engineers and military divisions are directly under the military recruitment. They are standing troops that can be called at any time. .
Although the number of standing troops in the four towns is not large, with only more than 50,000 people, their combat effectiveness is still very reliable because they are highly mobile and firepower, and they are professional troops who have been in camp for a long time. It poses a great threat to the Mongols on the grasslands and the Anton Army in the northeast.
Therefore, the envoy sent by Fulin to contact the naturalized army had his head chopped off directly in the name of a "monster who deceives the public"...
But Sony's head is safe, because Duny knows that he is not allowed to be included in the Ming court!
Not only would the Ming Dynasty not let go of him, the queen of the Anton Army, they would not let go of Duduo, who was already lying in the coffin.
With a bang, an imperial edict from Shanhaiguan was thrown by Donnie in front of Sony, who had come from afar.
"Look, look... the emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually asked my late father to come to the court to listen to him! Even if everyone is gone, he won't let go. It's really too much of a deception!"
Sony quickly picked up the imperial edict, unfolded it, and then habitually recited a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, good, good... The emperor's uncle has gone away on a crane, so this edict should not count. ?I can’t let you send the coffin to Nanjing?”
Azig said on the side: "Of course it doesn't count... What's the use of sending the coffin to Nanjing? They are still confronting a coffin?"
Azig thought for a while and then said: "The question now is whether you can inherit the position of Anton's Protector..."
When Donnie heard this, his heart twitched.
Amadoduo’s last words were to raise troops in Jianzhou City after the imperial court rejected him from inheriting the post of Protector-General, and to support the restoration of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty Fulin, who had fled by pretending to die. Of course Dodo Knowing that Shunzhi faked his death, he had already sent his confidants to investigate, and found that before Shunzhi's death, Suo'etu, Mingzhu and others had long been missing. Then Queen Meng Guqing was expelled for no reason, and her whereabouts were unknown immediately. Finally, Sony , Suksaha, Banbulshan and other confidants of Emperor Shunzhi all disappeared at the same time... This is not a fake death, what is a fake death?
So Duduo asked his son to push Shunzhi out as the culprit when necessary!
Now that Sony has delivered it to his door, it has really fulfilled Donnie's wish.
But Doni was not willing to take this last step easily...because he still hoped that Zhu Cihong could make him the Protector-General. As long as the area under the jurisdiction of the Anton Protectorate continued to be ruled by him, he would not rebel.
There was no hope for this matter at first, but now... didn't Sony come to your door?
