Han’s Son is Not a Slave

The emperor's personal expedition is no different than that of the prince and the county king. There are many things to prepare in the court. The first priority is to select the soldiers and horses for the expedition. The third is to raise the food and grass needed by the army, and then local support, the establishment of the marching route, and the supervision of the general soldiers in various places. Liaison, etc. In short, the personal expedition is not just a casual word from the emperor, and the army can immediately leave the capital.

After several days of court discussions, it was finally decided to accompany each camp of the Eight Banners in Beijing, and more than 20,000 Mongolian troops from foreign vassals were recruited to come in for the emperor’s direct dispatch, and the green camps in Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Beizhili and other places were also To mobilize troops. However, these battalions were first unified and concentrated in Nanyang Mansion, and then they were controlled by Prince An Yuele, and then they were commanded by the imperial battalion after the imperial chariot arrived.

After the meeting of the princes, ministers, and ministers got angry that day, Shunzhi didn't get angry again. Sony and the others were all doing the dispatching of troops. He also enjoyed his leisure time. The concubine Ai, who was increasingly haggard, was very uncomfortable. After calming down her sadness, she went to the queen mother.

The emperor insisted on the expedition in person, and the meeting of the princes, ministers and ministers was approved, and it was not easy to press the queen mother who was not involved in politics. back. The queen mother can't help but worry. Although the emperor is already an adult, he has never gone through a battle formation. It is different from the Taizu Taizong. It is considered that he grew up in the deep palace since childhood and was raised in the hands of a woman. Can the queen be worried?

In order to reassure the queen mother and make the elderly less worried, Shunzhi deliberately brought the third elder brother Xuan Ye, who was raised outside the palace, back to the palace and asked him and the second elder brother to accompany his grandmother all day, which indeed made the queen mother less worried. . The queen mother is forty-six this year. Although she is well maintained and looks like a thirty or so person, she is a grandmother after all, and her temperament is gradually moving towards the old man, so she can be unhappy when she sees her grandson every day. When you are happy, your body and mind are naturally good.

Sony and the others have almost done the task of dispatching troops. The emperor is waiting to lead the army to the south to show his skills, but the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the capital are shrouded in gloom and gloom. The city of Guangzhou was set up, and Haha Mu took away so many children and family members of the Eight Banners. As a result, the city of Guangzhou was destroyed, and tens of thousands of Manchu family members called the Taiping bandits to be slaughtered. In the battle of Mopan Mountain in the southwest, four or five thousand Manchu children died in the barren mountains. In the past two years, eight out of ten families in Jingli Banner have held funerals. This will believe that the prince still leads tens of thousands of elites in the mountains in the southwest without a class teacher, and the emperor wants to drive himself to expedition. Let me ask, which one is not in the eight banners of Beijing? panic? But what the emperor has decided, what can the banner people do?

In just two or three days, the lively capital became desolate. Those men in the forbidden Eight Banners family looked at their men, and the more they looked at them, the more reluctant they were. The Manchu soldiers who were forbidden to travel to the Eight Banners also knew what happened. Instead of spending money and drinking everywhere, they stayed at home with their wives and children when they returned from duty. Without the expenses of these Manchu uncles, the business of the kilns, restaurants, and casinos in the capital suddenly plummeted, and more poor Han officials came in and out, causing the kiln sisters to curse.

Shunzhi couldn't manage and didn't want to, just kept urging Sony and the others to move faster, make their hands and feet quicker, and get ready as soon as possible.

Sony and the others also wanted to be fast, but how could this be fast? It's easy to say that the deployment of troops is a matter of name, but the food and grass needed by the army can't be changed with a roster. A bunch of internal ministers would be considered bitter. They finally solved the food and grass matter, but they turned around and cried out bitterly. The food and grass are there, but the money has not been allocated yet?

As soon as the cannons were fired, the gold was 10,000 taels, and the Manchu children began to ask for money, and the Mongolian soldiers from the foreign vassals came to fight for the Qing Dynasty, and they had to give them benefits. This time, it was a royal expedition, which was unusual. Sony and the others did not dare to let the following people make trouble before they reached the enemy territory. Instead, they slaughtered and looted the city on their own site, so no matter what, the money had to be prepared.

The master doesn't care about anything, and the minions can't cry when they're exhausted. Sony and Aobai are really tired, and the Manchu princes and ministers are also spreading their hands, and they don't ask about bullshit. It is the emperor who wants to go to war himself, not them. For the matter of the master, the servants of the two yellow flags do not help with the cooking, who will help?

Prince Kang Jieshu was bent on doing things, thinking of the emperor's trust in his own favor, so he entered the palace to prepare for the emperor's remonstrance. He said to Shunzhi: "I think that since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Ming army has always been at war with each other. When Zuo Liangyu went east to Nanjing, then Tang and Lu were opposed, Tang Gui opposed, and then Sun Kewang and Li Ding were at home. And every time there is an internal conflict between the Ming army, I, the Qing Dynasty, can always reap the benefits of the fisherman."

After listening to Jieshu's words, Shunzhi nodded slightly. Jieshu said it well. If it weren't for the infighting and divisions within the Ming army, it would be really difficult for the Qing Dynasty to stabilize the Han people.

"Go on." Shunzhi listened to Jie Shu's words, and motioned for him to continue.

When Jieshu saw that the emperor was willing to listen to his words, he was overjoyed, and then said: "Actually, the minister thinks that the situation in the south is the same as it was in the past, or even worse. They do their own thing. Li Dingguo in the southwest was born from a thief in the West, and his Feng Yongli and Sun Kewang were afraid of Feng Yongli, and they may not have much loyalty. And the Guangdong Zhou Ni, who looked like a sudden emergence of an army, was strong and strong, but he did not have the status of Li Dingguo. , I heard that Yongli only gave this person a title of Xingpingbo, but the pseudo-intellectual county kings and princes in the south do not know how much. Therefore, Zhou Ni is a mere district Xingpingbo, and no matter how strong his troops are, he can't convince others. Puppet power. And the most important thing is that now Zhou Ni has a strong army, Li Dingguo has a weak army, and Zhu Youlang, the puppet master, has abandoned the country and fled, and now the puppet has no co-owner, so the minister believes that there are more troops and horses Zhou Ni is afraid that he will not bow his head to Li Dingguo, as time goes by, there will definitely be a gap between the two, and then I am afraid that it will be the end of a conflict between Sun Li and Li Dingguo."

Hearing this, Shunzhi shook his head and said, "Doni reported that Li Dingguo had sent Wu Sangui to the west of Yunnan, but Zhou Ni owns Guangdong and Guangxi, and actually occupies half of the lake. It's hard for the two of you to have a gap."

Jie Shu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if Li Dingguo and Zhou Ni can't get into trouble, Zhou Ni will also be troubled within this week. I heard that Zhou Ni's Taiping bandits have surrendered more troops and generals, so Zhou Ni can really use them with confidence? If No, how should Zhou Ni deal with these surrendered generals? If you are a little careless, these surrendered generals may cause trouble again. And even if Zhou Ni and Li Dingguo really cooperate sincerely, but now Zhu Ming has no co-owner, then Zhou Ni will inevitably have the heart to support and stand, and then he will rely on the army to support another emperor again, will Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, who was named by Zhu Youlang, agree?"

After Shunzhi heard it, he didn't speak, but his eyes told Jieshu that what he said had come to the emperor's heart.

Jieshu was greatly encouraged, and continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, Yunnan is no longer a concern. Zhu Youlang abandoned his country and ran to Burma, while Li Dingguo was lingering in western Yunnan. When the army entered, the people's livelihood in Yunnan was withered, and there was definitely not much food. Li Dingguo wanted to If you want to gain a firm foothold in western Yunnan, you have to collect grain from those chieftains, no more than once or twice. If there are too many times, will those chieftains be willing to be oppressed by Li Dingguo? Hong Chengchou’s report clearly stated that Li Dingguo was in Western Yunnan has repeatedly attacked the chieftain and slaughtered the city several times. In addition, the generals under Li Dingguo lived in Western Yunnan with him. These people were originally from Daxi thieves. Holding each other tightly and supporting each other, it is difficult to shake easily, but if there is no threat from us, what does the emperor think they will do?"

"What do you mean?" Shunzhi looked thoughtful.

Jie Shu said: "This minister thinks that we should take care of the southwest slowly and not be impatient."

Shunzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "How?"

"As for Li Dingguo in Yunnan, Wu Sangui can suspend his advance, and he can do more to appease the chieftain, and to persuade the Ming army to surrender, so that Li Dingguo can neither get the support of the chieftain, nor gather troops and horses, and let them fend for themselves."

Shunzhi pondered for a while, UU read www. uukanshu.com nodded and said, "This policy is okay."

Jie Shu added: "As for Zhou Ni's side, the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who surrendered to the past, the court will not hold them accountable, regardless of the martial arts, what kind of duties they used to do in the Qing Dynasty, the court still reserves them for them. As long as they are willing to return, the original officials Level up to supplement."

"Doing this to those traitors doesn't make them feel that I am easy to deceive?" Shunzhi's eyes flickered, and he did not approve of this strategy.

Jie Shu chuckled: "The emperor feels uncomfortable, how will Zhou Ni think about this?"

Shunzhi thought for a while, and said, "Like eating a fly?" After speaking, he shook his head sharply: "This tactic of alienation is too simple, I think it's a child's play, how can Zhou Ni be fooled."

"This tactic of alienation seems simple, and it won't have much effect for a while, but after a long time, it will always have an effect. And what's more important is that the emperor's personal expedition led the army to kill, how should the rebel generals choose? At that time, does Zhou Ni believe in them, or guard against them?"

After Shunzhi heard it, he was speechless for a long time, and half-strummed, and said to Wu Liangfu next to him with emotion: "Among the kings, only Jieshu is available."

......

With the comments of Jieshu, Shunzhi issued several imperial decrees in succession. First, he commended Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi, Hong Chengchou, Governor of the Five Provinces, Li Guoying, Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Gao Minzhan, Governor of Sichuan, Guangxi Governor Line Guoan, and Cheng Weixin, Governor of Guangxi. Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, was also honored by the Ming Order. In short, all Han officials and Han generals who fought against the Ming army, whether winning or losing, were encouraged by Shunzhi's decree. At the same time, it is decreed to announce to the world in the form of a Tang newspaper that the Qing Dynasty will not blame the officials who surrendered and surrendered, and their families will not be implicated.

At the same time, Shunzhi issued two decrees, one for the righteous king and grandson Kewang of Changsha, and the other for Kong Sizhen, the princess of Heshuo, and Yanling, the grandson of his concubine. (To be continued.)
