Beijing, Forbidden City
Red walls and bright tiles, flying eaves and bucket arches, multiple buildings, carved beams and painted buildings.
The splendor and splendor that can't be seen enough, the imperial style that can't be said, the wealth and honor that can't be said.
Last year's residence of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty has become this year's Imperial City of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
And those concubines of the Qing Dynasty who had just moved out of the bitterly cold place of Shengjing in Liaodong not long ago and moved into the Forbidden City in Beijing were immediately dazzled by the largest palace in the East. At best, it is a palace at the level of a landlord's compound, which is really not enough to look at.
Although after 200 years of vicissitudes, the palace has left many traces of time.But in the eyes of the barbarian women who were born in the Mongolian grasslands and the white mountains and black waters, this is still a real Qionglouyuyu, a palace in the sky!
"...Sister! This room is really big! Did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty live in it?"
"... Can each of our sisters have a hall to live in now? When I was in Shengjing, I really didn't even dare to think about it?"
"...Yes! It's really a blessing this time! Eh? Auntie, where did this little mirror in your hand come from? It's so beautiful!"
"...Oh, this! It's just a new thing brought up by the servants below. I heard that it is a foreign product from the South China Sea. It is not uncommon to find a lot of it in Beijing today. I will get it for you next time. A few! By the way, how are you using the soap I gave you last time?"
——Through last autumn on the coast of the Bohai Sea, the Dagukou "trade market" once occupied by the Chinese League fleet, in addition to the large-scale "population-for-food" trade organized by the Jurchen Eight Banners, there are many other various odds and ends Small commodities also entered the city of Beijing, which had just changed hands.
"...Uh, I've used it, it's quite fragrant, but I'm still not used to it—my little girl thought it was a pastry, and she almost ate it inadvertently, scaring me like something ...Speaking of things from the Ming Dynasty, I still prefer silk, and I just made a new dress recently..."
"...Hee hee! I heard about it! Sister, you actually used the silk curtains hanging in other people's palaces to make clothes! Don't be ashamed of yourself!"
"...What's so embarrassing, it's not like you don't know how many sheep can be exchanged for this piece of silk on our Horqin grassland?"
……
Accompanied by the sound of chattering, the three most honored and favored aunts and nephews among the empresses and concubines of the Jurchen Lord Huang Taiji, Empress Zhezhe, Bumbutai (that is, Dayuer, the future Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang) and the newly married Empress Dowager last year Hai Lanzhu, the three noble concubines who also came from the Borzigit clan of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia, are wandering among the palaces of the Forbidden City in Beijing, looking at this huge building with scattered heights with curiosity and delight. , as well as the countless assortment of "luxury things" listed in it, from time to time they gave out a sound of praise.
——Although Emperor Chongzhen swept away most of the gold and silver in the palace before he fled; when the Shaanxi bandits invaded Beijing, they searched the Forbidden City again.Next, in order to purchase much-needed food, cloth and other daily necessities from the transversal merchant fleet entrenched in Dagukou, Huang Taiji once again searched the Forbidden City from bottom to top, including the bronze turtles and golden nanmu pillars on the temple. They were all unloaded and sold... But just the few things left in the palace, and the filial gifts recently brought up by the servants, are enough to make these poor and accustomed women of foreign races feel extremely excited.
On the other side, in the gazebo of the Imperial Garden, all the little princesses who are tired from playing are sitting on stone benches covered with brocade cushions, attacking all kinds of exquisite pastries brought by the court ladies and eunuchs, like a bird Like a chipmunk with bulging cheeks, happily eating...
All in all, with the family members of the Eight Banners dignitaries, they moved from Shengjing to Beijing one after another, and lived in palaces and mansions in various places.For a time, in the inner city of Beijing, where the rich and powerful gathered, the sound of silk and bamboo was flying everywhere, the aroma of wine and vegetables filled the air, and laughter continued.All the nobles of the Eight Banners who survived from the bitter cold of Baishan, Heishui, are all enjoying the rich fruits of victory, and every day in Beijing is like a paradise.
However, just outside this school of laughter and ample food and clothing, among the streets and alleys of the outer city where the poor live, it is full of unimaginable bleakness and dilapidation-out of the original million citizens, there are already more than 70 or more. Died in the war, or wandered outside, or sold overseas as piglets, most of the remaining people lost their livelihoods.In order to be able to have a bite of food, he had to sharpen his head and beg to be ordered by the Eight Banners.
Indeed, compared with the rogues who only knew how to burn, kill, and loot, Huang Taiji's political skills and ruling strategies were much more sophisticated. After entering Beijing, he declared that "urgent recruitment and first receiving people's popularity are the most urgent tasks of this dynasty." .Immediately afterwards, this unrivaled hero immediately began to buy people's hearts. First, he "made a big announcement and cleaned up the filth with the gentry of the courts" and "ordered the cabinet, six ministries, and Metropolitan Procuratorate officials in the Beijing government to use the original officials and the Eight Banners as officials." Officials work together" "All civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc., if they can submit to our court, they are still allowed to be hired."—that is, directly recruit officials from the Chongzhen court, and all officials will be restored to their posts!
As a result, all the civil and military officials in Beijing who had won the ranks of the Qing Dynasty immediately returned to their hearts, singing praises to Huang Taiji, the lord of destiny.
Then, because Beijing was to be operated as the future capital of the Qing Dynasty and could not be ruined, Huang Taiji strictly restrained military discipline in the city of Beijing and prohibited random looting of the market.Except for a few nobles and clans of the Ming Dynasty who were ignorant of current affairs, the industrial mansions of most aristocratic families were protected.
However, these appeasement measures of the Qing court were all aimed at the noble families.For ordinary poor and lowly people, Huang Taiji was not so polite—in order to buy a sufficient amount of food from the battle field market opened by the traverser fleet at Dagukou, Huang Taiji directly dispatched troops to collect the food that had been gathered inside and outside the capital. Hundreds of thousands of refugees were driven towards Tianjin, and countless corpses were buried along the way. According to the "coarse grains" such as eight Dou of wheat or potatoes of the equivalent value for each adult man and woman, five Dou of wheat for each old man and child, and the price calculated separately for beautiful women, Dumping to the "maritime merchants" in Dagukou.
In this way, Huang Taiji not only obtained a large amount of military rations, but also reduced the risk of civil unrest in the Gyeonggi area.However, even if there was no such thing, in this age of wars, disasters, and famines, when human life is as humble as grass, their end is also a dead end, and they can be sold as piglets.What a lucky one!
And the ordinary people in the capital have also had a miserable life in the past six months.Before that, there were military disasters one after another, and tens of thousands were killed.Then the soldiers of the Eight Banners entered Beijing, and they finally stopped killing people indiscriminately, but there was a famine again. The Qing Dynasty obtained at least 500 million shi of various types of grain, but Huang Taiji had no intention of releasing grain for relief. Instead, he used all the grain and rice obtained from the trade as military supplies to continue to attack the various parts of the Central Plains.
Therefore, at this time, the city of Beijing is still dilapidated and extremely decadent: dirty streets full of garbage, crumbling dilapidated houses, and those sick and weak citizens with yellow and emaciated faces, like a group of dying walking corpses, who are dying. Struggling with hunger and illness... There are many street girls with strong faces and smiles in the neighborhoods and alleys, and all kinds of crimes of theft and robbery are also extremely rampant.However, under the curfew order and killing order issued by the Qing court, especially under the awe of the piles of heads outside the city gate, not many thieves dared to hit the banner man's head.
However, the situation in Beijing is far from the worst - after all, this is the imperial capital, with extraordinary political significance, whether it is the Lord of the Eight Banners or the Guanning rebels, they usually have to restrain themselves a little here Some ferocity, at least they will not wantonly slaughter people in the street.
However, on the battlefields where the braided soldiers of the Qing Dynasty directed their blades, there were already littered corpses and seas of blood everywhere...
