If this is allowed to continue, Shengjing City may be destroyed, and even if it is not destroyed, the Qing Dynasty will also be destroyed.
Therefore, Huang Taiji immediately put on his armor and helmet, gathered his imperial guards, and the two yellow flag men and horses stationed at the palace and the military camp in Shengjing City, immediately started martial law in Shengjing.
Thanks to his high prestige, although it is no longer the same as before, there is no problem in getting his troops to obey orders.
On the streets of Shengjing, anyone who is still fighting and killing, whether they are Jurchens from Jianzhou or from other tribes, will be arrested and thrown into prison. Huang Taiji himself went to the streets in person, and even drew a sword and chopped down a Jianzhou Jurchen tribesman who shouted fiercely.
Under his iron-blooded suppression, the city of Shengjing finally became less noisy.
However, many mansions were smashed, burned, and killed, and many corpses were found on the streets. It can be said that the city of Shengjing at this time was in a mess.
Huang Taiji looked down at Shengjing City from the top of the city. After the initial anger, he began to have a headache again.
Although he used an iron fist to suppress this chaos, no matter what, there must be an explanation and an explanation afterwards.
In fact, Huang Taiji himself knew that he didn't have much choice. After all, his butt still has to sit on the side of the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe, because this is the foundation for his rule in Liaodong.
By the morning of the next day, Huang Taiji, who had not slept all night and had become a panda-eyed man, had already made his decision.
He immediately announced that someone had indeed betrayed him. After verification, he found out who it was and that everyone else was good and innocent.
Next, it is natural to verify that those who betrayed the Qing Dynasty must be severely punished. These patriarchs and other powerful people who betrayed the Qing Dynasty had their homes searched and executed. The servants, property, etc. they obtained were left intact by Huang Taiji and rewarded to those Jianzhou Jurchen tribesmen who died in the battle, as well as those who were accidentally beaten and killed. clan people.
Of course, those Jianzhou Jurchen tribesmen who were imprisoned must have been released and nothing happened.
The Shengjing Rebellion came to an end just like that.
In the courtyard where Dorgon was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, Duduo told Dorgon all the situations outside. But he was not stupid, and he did not say that the most violent people at the beginning of the riot were actually sent by him. This matter will only rot in his heart.
After Dorgon heard what was going on outside, he realized that it was so chaotic outside. It turned out that something like this had happened.
As for Huang Taiji's handling methods, he immediately judged: "It seems that the emperor is going to rectify the other clans. Those who still form their own faction and control the military strength of their own clan will be in trouble."
"No way? You said the emperor wants to touch them?" Duduo asked in surprise after hearing this, and then he was stunned. Because at this time, he had already remembered that the emperor announced that those clans that betrayed the Qing Dynasty were in the same situation as Dorgon said.
In the Manchu army, there were two situations. One was that people of other ethnic groups were directly under the jurisdiction and control of Jianlu; the other was that soldiers of other ethnic groups were under the jurisdiction of their clan leaders or other powerful people. Then these leaders listened to Jianlu's command.
Now it seems that Huang Taiji is really dealing with the second type of people.
At this time, both of them naturally knew that those people might not really betray the Qing Dynasty. However, under the current situation, regardless of whether they betrayed the Qing Dynasty or not, this is already the best outcome for the Qing Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is really powerful!" Duduo thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
After hearing this, Dorgon nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Well, no matter what, if this is done, the national power of the Qing Dynasty will still be affected a lot. Even the Mongolian tribes on the grassland will be affected. . I guess the emperor will be kind to them."
He was right. Huang Taiji was reorganizing other tribes in Liaodong, reorganizing other tribes, breaking up the people of other tribes, and bringing them under the control of the Jianzhou Jurchen. At the same time, he was also winning over some people. , rewarded with gold, silver, treasures, slaves and so on. Even for the grassland tribes, there are many actions.
For example, Wu Zhong's cheap wife, Huang Taiji's third daughter, Princess Feng Lunjingduan, was given a marriage to Qitat of the Horqin tribe. The fourth daughter, Princess Fenglunyongmu, was also given in marriage to Biertahar of the Horqin tribe. This Bier Tahar is the brother and son of Huang Taiji's wife. This relationship between relatives is messy enough, so I won’t go into details.
Even his daughter, who had just turned ten years old, was named the eldest princess Gu Lun Shuhui by him, but this was not given to the Mongolian tribe, but to a person from the Zhenghuang Banner, named Borzigit Solha.
In addition, Huang Taiji's two daughters, who had just reached the age of nine, were also engaged to him. They are his sixth daughter, who is betrothed to Irgunjuro-Kwaza; and his seventh daughter, who is betrothed to Borzigit Kengjierge, the son of the chief of the Zarut tribe.
Of course, these marriages and engagements cannot be done in one go.
While Huang Taiji was rectifying the forces of various ethnic groups in Liaodong, he was looking for excuses and reasons to do these things of selling his daughter. But no matter what he does, there are always some understanding people who know his intentions. In this regard, as long as you don't want to turn against him, it will be thunderous and rainy, and it is all your kindness.
During this whole process, Emperor Chongzhen became a melon-eater for a while.
Although he wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble, after all, he himself was also busy with internal affairs, so he did not go to cause trouble and concentrated on internal affairs first. In addition, the Hussars Battalion needs to replenish its troops and train; also, the newly formed Beijing Battalion also needs to train and integrate the elites from the border towns.
Emperor Chongzhen has this self-confidence. At this time, it is okay to let Huang Taiji do whatever he wants and not to cause trouble. As long as Ming Dynasty does a good job, it can still go to Liaodong to bully Huang Taiji.
Be anxious, Daming is not in a hurry! People from other clans are not fools and will definitely feel chilled by Huang Taiji's rectification. Although they had no choice but to surrender, when the Japanese conquered Liaodong in person again, I believe the consequences of Huang Taiji's actions would slowly become apparent.
Comrade Huang Taiji, you should slowly internalize it first. I have to develop productivity and review the state-owned enterprise plans of each province one by one, and watch them get on the right track. Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart.
Just like that, time passed slowly, and the war in Korea also came to an end.
Although Zheng Zhilong's suggestion was very good, both he and Lu Xiangsheng had high regard for North Korea's monarchs and ministers.
Jianlu's 20,000 cavalry troops advanced rapidly and actually staged a battle in Guihua City in North Korea.
The Korean monarchs and ministers knew nothing about it in Seoul, and while they were still drinking and having fun, the Jianlu cavalry arrived in Seoul before the Korean messengers. Unprepared, the Korean monarchs and ministers were thrown into a pot by Jianlu.
This time, the hardliners in the North Korean court, such as Kim Sang-hyun and others, were killed by Jianlu without hesitation, and there was no talk of taking them back to Liaodong.
The leader of North Korea, Li Zhu, was really frightened by the aggressive Jianlu. He quickly begged for mercy and swore that he would definitely surrender to the Qing Dynasty and never betray.
It was at this time that the navy commanded by Zheng Zhilong arrived in Seoul.
To show his sincerity, Li Zhu took the initiative to issue an order to let the North Korean army attack the Ming army who came to rescue.
However, not many Korean soldiers dared to obey his order. When the superiors were not paying attention, they all dispersed and ran away.
Some ran into the mountains, and some ran to join the Ming army. Anyway, they were extremely disappointed with the incompetence of the Lee Dynasty of North Korea.
Starting from the Wanli period, he was first bullied by Japanese pirates, burned, killed, and plundered, but the leader of the Li family only knew how to run away and let his people be killed. If the Ming Dynasty had not sent troops to rescue and beat back the Japanese pirates, perhaps all Koreans would have been harmed by the Japanese pirates.
Later, the Jianlu in Liaodong rose up. Although the Ming Dynasty lost consecutive battles, they refused to admit defeat. Mao Wenlong even established Dongjiang Town alone to contain the Jianlu on the flanks.
Jianlu invaded North Korea twice, and the Ming Emperor also sent troops to rescue them. However, the journey was too far. Before the Ming army arrived, the Li family leader surrendered to Jianlu. What made the Korean people even more dissatisfied was that the leader of the Li family did not pay any attention to the burning, killing and looting committed by the Jianlu in North Korea, and did not protest to the Jianlu at all.
The last time, the main force of Liaodong Jianlu invaded North Korea. Although the Ming Dynasty Governor Baoding had few troops, he came to North Korea to rescue without hesitation. In the defense of Pyongyang, they Koreans are not blind. Many people saw with their own eyes how many people the Ming army died in battle. It can be said that Ming Dynasty treated North Korea sincerely and regarded North Korea as Ming Dynasty's own. In this world, which country would treat a vassal state like this?
People's hearts are made of flesh. Whether Ming Dynasty treats North Korea well or not depends on its own justice in people's hearts.
This time, as soon as they heard of the Jianlu invasion, the Ming army came to the rescue on a large scale. As a result, the leader of the Li family was still incompetent and directly surrendered to the Jianlu again. Not only did they allow the Jianlu to plunder around Seoul, they even saw the Ming army coming to rescue them and even attacked their saviors!
Is there such a shameless king in this world? Who would loyally obey such an incompetent dynasty?
With this kind of thinking, some people even raised the flag of rebellion and wanted to rebel against Li Jian.
To be honest, even Zheng Zhilong was a little surprised by the incompetence of North Korea's Li family.
Although he did not pay attention to the monarchs and ministers of North Korea, he could still see that the Lee Dynasty of North Korea had lost the support of the people. Anyway, Ming Dynasty's obligations have been reflected. After fulfilling their responsibilities, there is no need to spend time here. Zheng Zhilong took the navy back to the sea and returned to Lu Xiangsheng.
And here in Seoul, the Jianlu were burning, killing and looting on a large scale.
Old and weak Koreans will be killed as long as they see them. In Korean villages and towns, the captives would turn them upside down, steal everything they could, and then burn the rest. All the young men and women in Korea, including strong women, who were bumped into by the captives were arrested.
This area of Seoul is considered the richest place in North Korea. Jianlu also grabbed a lot of money this time.
Li Zhu watched Jianlu returning home with full load every day, and felt miserable in his heart. He also looked forward to Jianlu's early return to Liaodong.
He didn't expect that when Jianlu was about to return to Liaodong after the robbery was almost done, he would be taken away together with all the captured Korean civil and military officials.
In North Korea, if the rebels do this, it will be equivalent to no political power.
Throughout Korea, those who escaped the burning, killing and looting of the Jianlu troops turned to the Ming army.
Some of them wanted to hug their thighs and gain protection from the Ming army; some wanted to avenge their relatives and friends; no matter what the purpose was, at least the Ming army had become the largest force in North Korea. Moreover, the benevolence and righteousness of the Ming Dynasty are there, and the combat power of the Ming army has been tested in the Battle of Pyongyang, making it the best choice for the Koreans.
Lu Xiangsheng was also surprised that such a situation would occur.
He also thought about a sneak attack on Jianlu's fully loaded team, whether it was for the grain and grass supplies looted from North Korea or for the North Korean monarchs and ministers. However, this time, Jianlu did not give Lu Xiangsheng's Dongjiang Army a chance at all.
They probably already know the strength of the Dongjiang Army. They have been guarding against the Dongjiang Army. They sent out their horses in all directions and sent them far away, and they were all cavalry. Under their high alert, the Dongjiang Army itself suffered a huge loss in strength in the Battle of Pyongyang and has not recovered to this day. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng could only watch helplessly and had no way to sneak attack the Jianlu army.
In response to this, Lu Xiangsheng sent someone to report the situation to the capital, and at the same time he made up his mind to revitalize the Dongjiang Army's combat power. He selected young and strong Koreans from the incoming North Koreans and selected them into the Dongjiang Army to start training.
At the same time, since North Korea has been abolished, Dongjiang Town is located on Pidao, which is also a bit far away from Liaodong. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng made the decision to use Pidao as a base camp for training new recruits, and his commander's residence was moved to Pidao on the Liaodong Peninsula. Guanglu Island.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's messenger also arrived, and he was told in a secret order that the priority must be to ensure the strength of Dongjiang. In the case of North Korea, save it if you can, and don't force the Dongjiang army to save it if you can't.
In addition, the most important thing for the messenger to come over is actually not this, but the establishment of a communication network for homing pigeons. It is necessary to cultivate homing pigeons here in Liaodong and let the homing pigeons call this place their home. Only in this way, if the homing pigeons are taken to Tianjin and released, will they fly back to Liaodong.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He was already troubled by the slow communication. Now the emperor is taking the initiative, and has also mobilized the most talented people in the country who are good at training pigeons. For him, this is more satisfying than sending a thousand troops!
At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng naturally followed Emperor Chongzhen's will and began to concentrate on Liaodong. While he continued to ask Zheng Zhilong to inspect the Liaodong coast, pick up those Han people who had fled to the sea to the island, and analyze the situation of the captives; at the same time, he also began to spread rumors that so-and-so had contacts with the Ming army.
Anyway, this kind of thing, whether Jianlu believed it or not, was enough to keep them busy for a while.
Throughout the first half of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, this was probably the situation on the Jianlu and Ming Dynasty side.
However, sometimes, we have to admit that the Jianlu in the late Ming Dynasty were really lucky.
Just when Emperor Chongzhen felt that if things continued like this, the strength of the Ming Dynasty was growing rapidly, but the Jianlu were at war with each other, and that as long as there was a chance, they might be able to conquer Liaodong, at this moment, an accident happened.
