Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 525 Infighting
After Emperor Chongzhen announced his will, these people fell into silence.

This matter is related to the question of where they will live for the rest of their lives. It is considered a major decision in their lives, and it is reasonable not to answer it immediately.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen then turned his head and told Hong Chengchou to ask him specific measures for arranging assistance.

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it. These soldiers are quite powerful, and I am planning to be incorporated into the Guanning Army." Hong Chengchou had already considered it, and immediately replied, "In the past few years, I have devoted myself to Shanhaiguan. The land reclamation and farming on the front line of Ningyuan, without the harassment of Jianlu, the harvest is not bad, and it is not a problem to support [-] soldiers."

In the past, every autumn harvest season, Jianlu would come to grab food.At that time, the Ming army was not strong enough and could only defend the city. Therefore, if Jianlu came, he could only watch Jianlu harvest the wheat fields outside the city.Later, the harvest was early, and the yield was much less.But even so, Jianlu would come early, so that all the food and salaries of the Guanning Army had to be transported from within the pass.

However, since the rise of Emperor Chongzhen and his continuous victories against Jianlu, Jianlu had no time to come to Guanning again, especially to go deep into the front line of Ningyuan Shanhaiguan to grab grain.When Sun Chuanting was the governor of Jiliao, he took the grain fields back from the generals. The military households knew that they were planting for themselves, and their enthusiasm was increased.In addition, Hong Chengchou can win people's hearts. Not to mention, the food harvest from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan was more than expected.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being very pleased, especially in this era of food shortage, it is even more gratifying to have unexpected surprises in food production.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen made another decree, and he followed Hong Chengchou's arrangement. In addition, he also told Hong Chengchou that the Guanning Army could go forward to clean up the remnants of Jianlu, and finally joined Lu Xiangsheng in Haizhou to face Anshan Yibao. The subsequent build-up caused enough pressure.

As for Wu Sangui's troops, Emperor Chongzhen let him stay in the Guanning Army, under the command of Hong Chengchou temporarily. After all, it is unbelievable that the Guanning Army lacks enough elites to sit in the army.

After finishing all this work, Emperor Chongzhen greeted Kong Youde cordially, personally pardoned him for his previous crimes of rebelling against Denglai and surrendering to Jianlu, and praised him for his achievements this time. From the lower strokes, elites were drawn to train new subordinates, and they were under the direct command of Hong Chengchou.

The family members of Kong Youde accompanied him to live in the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen would reward him with a mansion. In addition, Kong Tingxun had reached the age of school, and he was also allowed to enter the palace as the prince's companion.

Kong Youde was originally only a general in the Dongjiang Army, but now that he was promoted, his son could become the prince's companion, he was somewhat worried, and finally let go of it completely, and immediately returned to the emperor, vowing to serve to the death and kill all the Jian captives.

I have to say that if it is another emperor, he must be on guard against keeping the elite outside, especially when dealing with generals like Kong Youde who have a history of rebellion.However, Emperor Chongzhen did not, and continued to entrust important tasks. This is very different from most emperors.

Emperor Chongzhen actually understood this very well.Because he has a wiretapping system in his hand, he is not afraid of dissent from the powerful generals outside.There is no need to guard against military generals like the emperors of the Song Dynasty. It is simply to tie their hands and feet with ropes first, and then let them fight the enemy. It is stricter than guarding against thieves!

Since the Ming Dynasty, especially after the founding of the country, the rise of civil servants has a lot to do with this factor.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was not afraid.If this is the case, then why expand the territory? Now the original territory is already big enough, and only when we are full can we go to fight for colonies with the West.So far away, what should I do if I rebel?
This kind of worry may also be related to the fact that the emperors in ancient China were not keen on expanding their territories.Because China itself is very big, it can be regarded as reaching the extreme that can be controlled under the current traffic conditions.If it expands further, as long as the imperial court is a little weaker, the remote territories will be easily lost.One of the best examples is the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen was different from all other emperors. He had a wiretapping system in hand, knew the future historical trend, and knew that globalization was the way out for the future.In addition, there is another very important point, that is, Emperor Chongzhen has used enough battle examples to prove that Emperor Chongzhen led the army to fight, and he was invincible and invincible. They dare not disagree.

If Han Xiandi knew this, he would be very envious.He has no soldiers, no power, no ability, so he can only be held hostage by the emperor to make the princes, and become a display.If it were Emperor Chongzhen, Cao Cao would only be a minister capable of governing the world.

Emperor Chongzhen stayed in Jinzhou for two days, during which time he even met with representatives of the people of Jinzhou, expressing condolences to the days when they were on the front line against captives and were always harassed by Jian captives.At the same time, just like the promise he made to the people in the northwest, he also made a promise to the people in Jinzhou.In the future, he will guarantee that they will never suffer from military disasters again.It won't be long, as long as enough food and supplies are collected, Emperor Chongzhen will personally conquer Liaodong again, and completely put down the Jianlu Rebellion.

In addition, in front of these people, he explained to Hong Chengchou an important purpose of his visit.That is to abolish the military household system in Guan Ning's army, and all men under the age of 45 must serve as soldiers, which is an all-military service system.

On this point, Emperor Chongzhen introduced the advance situation on the northwest side and told them that since the implementation of this, the northwest side has never been harassed by Mongolian Tartars.Now the Guan Ning army has to do the same, at least before the Jianlu are completely wiped out, this system must be implemented in order to maximize Guan Ning's combat power.

Regarding this, Hong Chengchou, as a literati, was somewhat conflicted, because the emperor even counted scholars. Although there were not many scholars in Guanning, this trend is very bad. Will it be implemented in other places in the future? He thinks There are great possibilities.

However, Hong Chengchou, as governor of Jiliao, welcomed this move.Because in this way, it would be equivalent to his subordinates, all the people are soldiers, then Guan Ning's combat power will be greatly strengthened, and he will no longer be a spectator in future wars against captives.

In addition, the most important point is that Emperor Chongzhen's prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people due to his consecutive victories. Therefore, after Hong Chengchou hesitated for a while, he had no objection at all.

As a result, the national military service system was also implemented on the front line of Guanning.

After finishing all this work, before the Emperor Chongzhen prepared to return to the capital, the wishes of the people who had been plundered to Liaodong were counted and handed over to the imperial court.

Among the more than 2 people, more than [-] chose to stay in Liaodong.The reason is also stated in this statistics. When most of them were plundered by the invaders, their entire hometown and even the surrounding castles were gone.And their seven aunts and eight aunts and so on are often in places dozens of miles away. Therefore, it can be said that they have no relatives in the pass.

Most of them have no grain fields in the pass, and they are all tenants.As for the desire for land, as long as it is the people of Ming Dynasty, it goes without saying.Therefore, if they stay outside the customs, they can get double the rewards of grain fields and money, which is enough temptation for them.

In this regard, the statistical officials have asked, saying that Liaodong is barren, even if it is double the grain field, it will not be able to reach the inside of the pass. Why can't you think about it, or stay outside the pass?

In this regard, those common people did not agree. After experiencing the land reclamation and farming in the Liaohe Plain, they have realized that the reason why Liaodong is barren is that Jianlu can't serve it.They believe that as long as they work hard, the grain harvest in Liaodong will never be less.

Emperor Chongzhen knew this best.In later generations, the Northeast is the big granary.The grain produced on several plains is the most in the whole country.In this era, although due to reasons such as climate, seeds, farming techniques, etc., the output of later generations cannot reach as much.But no matter what, comparing horizontally in this era, as long as you work hard, you will definitely gain a lot.

In a word, Liaodong is actually a precious land, with farmland, mines, and oil fields. It only lacks people who know these things and hard-working people to be their masters.

Having figured this out, Emperor Chongzhen satisfied their request, and then returned to Beijing with other common people who still wanted to return to the pass.

When he set out, he quickly sent the statistics of the people into the pass, asked the local officials to find their relatives, told them the good news, and asked them to go to the capital to welcome their rescued relatives.

…………

On Jianlu's side, the situation was completely opposite to that of Daming.The big defeat triggered a tense internal strife.

Hauge ran away immediately, he didn't even stay in Haizhou, and went straight to Shengjing.

Yue Tuo, who came after hearing the news, followed suit, crossing Haizhou but not entering, and also went straight to Shengjing.

After Dorgon heard it, he probably guessed Hauge's purpose, and hurriedly sent Duoduo to Shengjing, and at the same time burned Haizhou, which he knew could not be defended, and arranged troops to garrison Anshan Post Fort.Once this place is lost, the Ming army will be able to drive straight in and threaten Liaoyang and Shengjing.

For this reason, Dorgon also told the general Ying Erdai who stayed behind that the Ming army's firearms were powerful, but trenches could effectively reduce their power.Defensive measures must be taken. In addition, he was asked to organize manpower to destroy all official roads leading to Liaoyang.

In this way, if the Ming army breaks through Anshan Post Fort, they will not be able to quickly advance to Liaoyang, which can give Shengjing more time to prepare.

After finishing all this, Dorgon led the army and hurried back to Shengjing.

While on the road, he had already received a lot of news.Knowing that Kong Youde had indeed defected to the Ming Dynasty long ago, he supported Wu Sangui's 2 cavalry, not only rescued the more than [-] Han slaves, but also burned all the food that could not be taken away.

With this little force, Shengjing was threatened, and Zhuangzi with a radius of a hundred miles was burned. The Manchurians, no matter who they were, were all put to death under the city of Shengjing.The ashes of my late father were not only scattered, but trampled on.In the end, he slipped away before reinforcements arrived.

Hauge was the first to arrive in Shengjing and sent troops to surround the palace.Although he was stopped by Ao Bai, he persuaded Ao Bai that he was also the son of the first emperor, and he did not want to seize the throne from his younger brother, but asked the queen mother to remove Dorgon as the regent.The reason is simple, the Qing Dynasty is almost finished under the leadership of Dorgon.

Obai was moved and agreed with his statement. Among the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the two most powerful Yellow Banners began to cooperate. However, Bumbutai did not relent yet.

After Yue Tuo rushed back to Shengjing, Ao Bai immediately went to win him over.And judging from the news that came, Yue Tuo seemed to agree.At present, they are confronting Duoduo who has rushed back.

Each of these news made Dorgon very angry.He felt that he had a clear conscience, and he had really dedicated himself to the Qing Dynasty, but he did not expect to be treated like this in exchange.

In any case, he is certainly not reconciled to being seized power.In fact, he couldn't tolerate being led by someone like Hauge.Therefore, he led his troops back to Shengjing to seek justice for himself.

What Dorgon didn't know was that the situation in Shengjing was tense, and seeing that a civil strife might break out at any time, Daishan, who was seriously ill and unable to be a director, seemed to be in better condition, and immediately called Yuetuo over.

Before Yue Tuo reached the bedroom, all the servants along the way were kneeling and weeping. The old housekeeper who had watched Yue Tuo grow up hurriedly received Yue Tuo and urged him tearfully, "Master, the master forced the shaman to give him secret food. The medicine, now it’s back to life, it’s too late, I’m afraid… I’m afraid…”

To be honest, when I heard that Daishan wanted to see him, Yue Tuo was actually unwilling to come. Although they were father and son, they had different ways and did not conspire with each other, so there was nothing to say.At a time like this, call him out and think about it with your toes, there will definitely be no good things to say.

However, at this time, Yue Tuo heard that Dai Shanming had passed soon, and suddenly, without knowing why, he quickened his pace and hurried over.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Daishan's intermittent angry voice: "Have you...haven't come yet? Hurry... Hurry up, otherwise... Otherwise, this king will die... I will die with regret..."

"There's no need to rush, the king has already arrived!" Yue Tuo said at the same time as he strode into the room with a gloomy face.

He happened to see a shaman waiting outside, and his sharp eyes stared at him, so frightened that shaman didn't even dare to lift his head.

When Yue Tuo's voice sounded, the room suddenly became quiet, and then Dai Shan's voice sounded with a hint of surprise: "Hurry... help me get up quickly!"

The maid opened the curtain and bowed aside.Yue Tuo stepped inside, and at first sight, he saw Daishan who had just been helped up and leaning on the bed. At just this glance, he was stunned.

This meant that he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and he could barely recognize his own father.
