Chapter 166: Rebuilding the Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan!

Fushui Villa is the private property of Emperor Wenzong Qian Qianyi in the southeast. It is located under the Fushui Rock in Yushan Mountain. hibiscus.Huang Taiji, who was used to the roughness of the Northland, was amazed repeatedly.

"...This is Qian Muzhai's villa? Tsk tsk, it's much more luxurious than my palace in Shengjing! This old man is really rich!"

Sitting in the Coupeng Hall of Fushui Mountain Villa, admiring the exquisite carved beams and painted buildings in this house, all kinds of antique treasures displayed on the antique racks around, as well as the pipa, flute and long piano hanging on the wall, and the bandages on the shoulders Huang Taiji couldn't help but said, "...I heard that when this old man was in Beijing, he cried poorly with that Chongzhen child for three days and asked for tax cuts and tax exemptions for the Jiangnan gentry. Unexpectedly, he is actually such a wealthy man. Enemy country!"

"...Your Majesty, most of the scholars in Jiangnan are so shameless." Fan Wencheng, who was accompanying him, replied, "...they claim to be clean, but they all have millions of households and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and they think they are heaven. The favored sons of the imperial court demanded that the court exempt them from tax and labor, and that they should not pay homage to officials, and talk about the innocence of the court. In short, they wanted everything, but they refused to do anything for the court, and they rebelled from time to time, forcing the court to Spending money to appease such a gentleman, what is the use of my court? My official salary in the Qing Dynasty did not fall from the sky!"

"...Yeah, I really can't afford to raise such an upright gentleman, and I dare not raise them, and it's useless to raise them. Since the Jiangnan scholars are so conceited and can't be used by me, then I have no choice but to kill them. Use their wealth to support those who are willing to use it for me."

Huang Taiji stroked the shoulder that was shot, and sighed, "...By the way, where is Qian Muzhai at this moment?"

"...I would like to inform Your Majesty that the old traitor Qian Qianyi gathered a crowd to rebel and was killed by our Qing soldiers in Huqiu! His body was chopped into meat paste."

"...Well, it's good to die, so that I can live in peace in his Fushui Mountain Villa! But don't forget to kill his nine clans..."

"...Yes! I obey the order, let's do it now..."

Generally speaking, during the days after winning the Nanjing Battle, Huang Taiji was in a very happy mood—the Jiangnan offensive was overwhelming and the harvest was fruitful; The morale of the army is also becoming more and more stable.

Although Huang Taiji was unlucky enough to be shot in the shoulder with an arrow in the street battle in Suzhou, but now it is the middle of winter, and everyone is wearing a lot of clothes. Huang Taiji was originally wearing heavy armor, with cotton jackets and silk underneath. Therefore, the arrow that hit his shoulder did not penetrate half an inch into the flesh, and it was not even as serious as the wound he suffered when he was hunting wild boars in Liaodong in the early years. Now, after only a day or two of recuperation, he has almost healed up.

Before, during the continuation of the Nanjing Campaign, Huang Taiji's situation was precarious, and he was troubled both internally and externally. Inside, there were the two white flags and the three Dorgon brothers with ulterior motives, and outside, there was the [-]-strong army of Emperor Chongzhen who was fighting endlessly with red eyes.At the most dangerous time, Huang Taiji brought his wives, concubines and children to the battlefield, not just for show, but because he really made up his mind that "if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent"!

Fortunately, he won the battle of Nanjing after all, and once again beat up his old opponent Chongzhen Xiaoer to pieces and the shit out of him.Then, those Donglin party members who invited the Qing soldiers to cross the river to help in the war were played hard, not only asking for their money, but also their lives-although the sequelae of this policy were extremely serious. It is even more hated by the gentry all over the world than burning books and burying Confucianism, but the current Huang Taiji really doesn't care about so much.After all, this policy of killing people, ransacking homes and dividing land is really effective.Ever since he issued a decree to enclose the land, slaughter the landlords in the south of the Yangtze River, demote the people in the south of the Yangtze River as slaves, and take their wealth, mansions and fields, and distribute them to all the generals of the Qing army, not only the two yellows, two reds, and two blues in the Eight Banners All the flag soldiers cheered and cheered, and their morale was high.Even the Ming army, who surrendered one after another, was lured by huge benefits, and enthusiastically accepted the Qing court's head-shaving adaptation, and was then divided into each of the eight banners, and soon the six banners in the south of the Yangtze River Restored to the compilation of nearly two hundred records.

(Strictly speaking, the Eight Banners are not equal to Jurchen. Leaving aside the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Army Banner, even in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, many Liaodong Han people successively changed their nationality to join. For example, the descendants of Yuan Chonghuan were already hard-core bannermen by the end of the Qing Dynasty , and became a general of Heilongjiang.)
In order to balance the power of the various banners and at the same time achieve clear rewards and punishments, Huang Taiji allowed Jierhalang's Xianglan Banner to expand to 33 Niulu, while the two Yellow Banners directly under him only had 25 Niulu each. The Zhenglan Banner of Huang Taiji's eldest son, Hauge, has increased to 42 Niulu, of which Hauge, the banner owner, holds 28 Niulu alone, so as to ensure the relative advantage of Huang Taiji's direct lineage.

General Abatai took the lead in the bloody battle in Nanjing and was seriously injured. He should be rewarded heavily. Therefore, the number of Niulu under his jurisdiction increased to nine, and even his two sons were assigned a Niulu each, and both were promoted to beizi. .The two red flags, which were originally under the command of the Great Baylor Daishan, suffered heavy losses in the previous series of upheavals. This time, they can be fully rebuilt and the original full-staffed system can be restored.There is also the Han army flag that was almost destroyed at one time, and Huang Taiji also set out to restore it. For the time being, the most loyal and hardcore traitor, Li Yongfang, the surrendered general of Fushun, was the flag owner.

Although it will take a long time for the newcomers recruited into the banners to better display their combat effectiveness, at least the morale of the army is completely stable.After such a toss, not only the two yellow, two red, and two blue six banners who crossed the river to participate in the war, but also became completely devoted to Huang Taiji because of the fertile fields, luxurious mansions, and beautiful servants in the south of the Yangtze River.Even the two white flags who were stranded in Jiangbei with ulterior motives were soon shaken when they learned of such good things—in order to disintegrate Dorgon's followers, Huang Taiji was generous with the generosity of others, and continued to issue orders to Jiangbei, Claiming to rebuild the Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, all bannermen, regardless of Manchu and Han, can go south to enclose land, and the Baylor, Dutong, and Zuoling of each banner will be rewarded together: anyway, they are all the land and mansions of Jiangnan gentry, Huang Taiji took out It doesn't feel bad at all to reward someone, but the recipient has to figure out a way to kill the old owner.

The rich land of Jiangnan water town is really attractive to northerners like a lottery jackpot.Even Liangbaiqi, the direct descendant of the three Dorgon brothers, couldn't resist the temptation of a windfall, and they all asked to cross the south of the Yangtze River in accordance with Emperor Chongde's decree.Before Dorgon could make up his mind, Turge, with the white flag, brought his three Niulu, and first crossed the river to the south of the Yangtze River to grab the territory.Seeing someone leading the way, Sukesaha, the general with the white flag, immediately pulled out ten Niulu and drove to the south of the Yangtze River.As a result, more than half of the [-] cattle records that were nominally directly under Dorgon's jurisdiction were lost in an instant.

Next, before his death, Nurhachi entrusted Duduo, the governor of Zhengbai Banner, to take care of his youngest son, Duduo Ashan.In the end, even Azige, one of the three brothers of Dorgon, hesitantly brought his thirteen Niulu to Yangzhou, worried that this was a trap set by Huang Taiji, and reluctant to part with the bait from the fertile soil in the south of the Yangtze River. Time is caught between a rock and a hard place.

So, while Huang Taiji was living leisurely in Fushui Mountain Villa with lakes and mountains, enjoying the gentle taste of Jiangnan beauties, Dorgon in Xuzhou was like sitting on a stove and being roasted!The two white flags that originally had 65 Niulu in Xuzhou and southern Shandong, faced with Huang Taiji's move from the bottom of the pot, they were knocked down and scattered in an instant.Of the more than 1 elite soldiers under his command, only two or three thousand remained.

Although Dorgon could also assign farm women to the soldiers of the Eight Banners in Shandong and Xuzhou to compete with Huang Taiji for the hearts of the people, and he did.But the fields in the north have always been much poorer than the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that the Central Plains is now a thousand miles of barren land, with years of severe drought, and farmers everywhere are abandoning their fields to flee famine. Even if they plant crops, they may not be able to harvest... Therefore, the soldiers of the two white flags continued to run south.

And the wealth accumulated by the folks in the south of the Yangtze River is the highest in the world, even the imperial capital Beijing can't compare it, let alone places like Shandong and Xuzhou.

In terms of spending money to buy loyal capital, Dorgon at this time can't compete with Huang Taiji for wealth, and he still occupies the righteous name of the orthodox emperor!
