On the same day that the city was broken, Prince De's Mansion was breached by a team of soldiers from Tiger Character Banner. Everyone in the Prince's Mansion was captured, with only some little-known people escaping.
The only person who escaped who was well-known and related to Prince De's Palace was a Chang Shi named Wang from the Palace.
However, although this Wang Changshi man escaped, he could not take away all his family wealth and savings.
After taking Jinan City, Qin Rong did not rush to lead the army to continue fighting. Instead, he ordered the army to stay outside Jinan City to rest and recuperate. At the same time, he divided several teams of soldiers to clean up the states and counties in Jinan Prefecture.
Uproot the Ming regime one after another and establish the Tiger Character Banner's own regime.
The Tiger Banner had its own system for training officials. As the army conquered cities and territories, teams of Tiger Banner officials began to rush to these occupied areas to take over local government affairs from the army.
It took more than a month for Qin Rong to capture more than half of Jinan Prefecture, leaving only a few counties near Beizhili untouched. In addition, there was still Dongchang Prefecture.
After more than a month of rest, the main force of the army was almost recovered. Qin Rong immediately led the army to the west to attack the Ming army in Dongchang Prefecture.
The only established Ming army in Shandong was the Ming army in Dongchang Prefecture. The teams of Fu Zonglong and Cao Wenzhao were already defeated, and there were not many soldiers left. It would take time to recruit new soldiers to restore the organization.
It's a pity that the Tiger Character Banner team didn't give them this time at all. Everywhere Fu Zonglong and Cao Wenzhao went, the Tiger Character Banner team chased them wherever they went, forcing them to keep retreating.
This situation did not stop until they took the initiative to retreat to Dongchang Mansion.
However, Dongchang Mansion was Wang Chengyin's place, and both sides were at loggerheads. Naturally, they would not give Cao Wenzhao the opportunity to recruit troops, so Cao Wenzhao was never able to regain his strength.
The cavalry servants of the Cao family also went from a few hundred at the beginning to only a hundred or so.
At this time, the Tiger Character Banner had completed the siege of Beizhili, and Dongchang Prefecture was even more popular.
The most obvious result of the Tiger Character Banner's series of victories in Shandong was that Kong in Qufu became honest again and no longer dared to send anyone to contact Hong Chengchou.
Since the money they sent last time didn't work, Kong's people knew that Hong Chengchou couldn't be trusted, and no matter how much money they sent, it would be in vain.
As soon as Qin Rong led his army into the territory of Dongchang Prefecture, Wang Chengyin led his troops and horses to retreat from Liaocheng, all the way to the territory of Beizhili.
The Tiger Flag took down Dongchang Mansion without much effort.
At this point, the entire Shandong territory, except for a few counties near Beizhili, fell into the hands of the Tiger Flag.
Shandong carried out vigorous agricultural policies.
After Chongzhen in the capital learned about the situation in Shandong, he smashed several vases one after another and vented his incompetent roar, but he could no longer change the situation in Shandong.
As the governor of Shandong, Fu Zonglong was directly taken to the capital and imprisoned.
Because there was a big boss in the capital who saved his life, it was impossible to get out of the prison.
Wang Chengyin, because his soldiers and horses did not suffer much loss, stayed in Julu, and was still reused by the court as a court soldier to defend against the Tiger Banner army heading north.
After losing his backstage, Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew once again became unloved and had no choice but to stay in Julu with Wang Chengyin.
But because the relationship between the uncle and nephew was not good with Wang Chengyin, and they could not get much financial and food support, they could only maintain the number of more than a hundred soldiers and servants around them, and there was no need to expand the army.
Ming Dynasty lost control of Shandong, making more and more officials no longer optimistic about Ming Dynasty.
Some officials from the south began to choose to resign and return home, intentionally or unintentionally, or find ways to be transferred to Nanjing to serve as officials.
The remaining southern officials who stayed in the capital either had no connections and couldn't leave even if they wanted to, or they just wanted to take a gamble and take this opportunity to try to see if they could be promoted. Some of them were reluctant to give up their jobs. The black gauze hat on the official is not enough.
As for officials from the north, they basically have no choice but to stay in the capital and continue to serve as officials, because even if they don't become officials, they can only stay in Beizhili.
After all, my hometown has become the territory of the Tiger Flag.
Because the Tiger-Character Banner did not cut off water transportation, the capital seemed to be barely able to survive. Most officials acquiesced in this situation. As long as the Tiger-Character Flag did not cut off water transportation, no one would take the initiative to raise the issue of Shandong.
As for sending troops to regain Shandong, no one is talking about it.
Many people have understood that the Ming Dynasty cannot defeat the slave thieves in Liaodong, nor can the Ming Dynasty defeat the Tiger Flag in the northwest. Next, it depends on when the Ming Dynasty in the north will end, and whether it will fall into the hands of the slave thieves or the tigers. word flag in hand.
Of course, no one thought that the Ming Dynasty would perish so soon. After all, the north was lost, but there was still a large area of land in the south, and the Ming Dynasty's regime could still operate in the south.
This is also the benefit of the dual capitals. At least most officials feel that even if the capital in the north is lost, Nanjing is still there, the Ming Dynasty can still continue to exist.
Chongzhen of the capital issued a sinner edict.
The general meaning of the content is that I work hard, and the food, clothing, and housing are poor. I blame the Ming Dynasty officials for being useless and the rebels who should not have rebelled.
The summary is one sentence, the mistakes are all on others, and he, the emperor, is right.
Except for Chongzhen himself, I am afraid that no one took this kind of sinner's edict seriously, or even listened to it as a joke. At least the people here in Hu Zi Banner completely regarded Chongzhen's sinner's edict as a joke.
After taking Shandong, the Tiger Character Banner chose to maintain the status quo instead of further stimulating Chongzhen, while the Second War Zone continued to deploy troops and horses to Lushun.
The small Lushun soon gathered tens of thousands of troops under the Tiger Character Banner.
Except for the troops and horses transported from Denglai by ship, the rest are the Tiger Flag troops and horses that were originally in Liaodong.
Now these soldiers and horses are unified into the second theater.
In order to eliminate the gap between the two armies, they began to train together continuously, and sometimes they would actively seek out slaves and thieves in the Fuzhou area to fight.
After Mang Gurtai withdrew his troops from Jinzhou Guard, there were not many soldiers and horses left on the slave bandit side in Fuzhou.
The Tiger Character Banner sent more and more troops to Lushun, and its tests on Fuzhou became more and more frequent. The slave thieves' forces in Fuzhou began to withdraw into the city, and they chose to give up on Zhuangzi outside Fuzhou.
In fact, even if they didn't give up, they would soon be captured by the soldiers of the Tiger Flag.
As Zhuangzi outside the city of Fuzhou fell into the hands of the Tiger Banner, Fuzhou became an isolated city, surrounded by soldiers and horses of the Tiger Banner.
The guard of Fuzhou is Badatai, a Jurchen born in Xianghuang Banner, a standard slave of Huang Taiji.
The deputy general in the city is Pan Yueqing, a guerrilla who defected from the Ming army.
The Jurchen soldiers in Fuzhou will account for more than 100 points, and the remaining 800 or so will be Han soldiers.
