392 The Qing Dynasty moved the capital

Everything has two sides, both positive and disadvantages. Just like Li Zicheng, the Dashun army was unstoppable. Many people and officials descended on the Central Plains in a short period of time. They were in the limelight for a while, but the expansion was too fast and left many hidden dangers, such as insufficient control and shortage of manpower. Many places changed their names, but the original group of officials in the control area was changed from Ming Dynasty officials to Dashun officials.

Change soup or not.

This is a shortcoming of the Dashun Army. Li Zicheng is mostly low-level soldiers and ignorant people. These people are okay in war, but when it comes to management, they have no experience. China has respected scholars since ancient times, thinking that they are educated and knowledgeable, and should be superior. People are willing to obey their management. Every time the Dashun Army conquered a place, they are willing to let officials of the previous dynasty and famous people serve as new officials, because this can make the local affairs operate normally as quickly as possible.

It is usually these officials and scholars who exploit the people, but after conquering the world, they still ask these officials and scholars to continue to manage them. This is a satire.

Not only is it irony, but it is also a huge hidden danger.

Yan Jie, the Dashun Wude Defense Commander in Dezhou, Shandong, and Wu Zhengwen, the Dezhou Governor, truly realized this hidden danger, but when they discovered this problem, it was too late because they used their lives to get the result.

The former censor Shihe, the former Dezhou Tongzong, was the current Dezhou chief Cheng Xianzhen, and the great squire Xie Bi and others thought that Dashun had no future after conspiracy. Under the temptation of various favorable conditions of the Qing Dynasty, they decided to launch a rebellion and not to surrender to the wise ruler.

After careful preparation, he lured Yan Jie with the party as his life. Wu Zhengwen went to the most luxurious Welcoming Building in the city to attend the banquet. When the banquet was halfway through, dozens of knives and axes who had been ambushed in the morning suddenly rushed out. Without saying a word, they cut off their heads and used them to pay tribute to the previous emperor Chongzhen. At the same time, Zhu Shuaiqiu, a royal family member of the Ming Dynasty, raised the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, these reactionary officials and gentry's minions came out everywhere to kill all the people left by Dashun, full of killing. After a bloody night, the city changed its owner and replaced it with the territory of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Dashun failed to keep his promises. He gradually lost the hearts of the people and violated the interests of the landlords and gentry. These people were the richest and most powerful class at that time. They could still suppress them when they were in great power, but once they declined, there were more people who thought about it.

As the rebellion occurred in Dezhou, Shandong, immediately afterwards, Gao Gui, the former Ming guerrilla general of Qin'anzhou, killed Guo Du, the defense envoy of the Dashun regime, Feng Quan, the former Ming magistrate of Zhuozhou, Zhang Jin, the governor of Zhuozhou, and Zhu Wanqi and others killed Li Duwei, the governor of Zhuozhou. Li Guolin, the gentry of Lingshou, gathered more than 100 people to kill Guo Lian, Quzhou, Cangzhou, Changpingzhou, Daxing, Miyun, Xianghe, Caozhou, Qingzhou and other places, and rebellions broke out. The fate of Dashun officials was also different. Some were killed, some were expelled, and some were punished before leaving. The Dashun army was not willing to give up like this and came out to suppress it. For a moment, the rear was in chaos.

The front line was already very difficult. The Qing cavalry, which had been through many battles, could not be defeated by peasant army and mobs. In addition, most of the Qing Dynasty were cavalry, and they came and went like the wind. They were also good at winning over and tempting, and the rear was unstable. In addition to the fact that they had to draw investigation troops to suppress them, it was not conducive to the collection of food and grass, and the recruitment of soldiers. As a result, the life of the Dashun Army became more and more difficult.

Li Zicheng abandoned Beijing, which was of great significance, and then the Dashun army retreated step by step in confrontation with the Qing Dynasty, which wavered the will of those speculators. Besides, the Qing nobles implemented many policies of wining and appeasement under the suggestions of Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng and others. First, they buried Chongzhen with a generous amount, alleviating the hatred of many loyal subjects of the previous dynasty. Then they ordered the land and houses seized by the rebel army to be returned to their masters, and ordered the pardon of officials and gentry related to Dashun. This was very supportive of the gentry and wealthy families, and rebellion occurred everywhere.

The Dashun Army was attacked from both sides, and the Manchu Iron Cavalry was extremely elite. Under the double attack, the Dashun Army retreated step by step and its territory became smaller and smaller.

Come quickly and go quickly.

In fact, the battle of Shanhaiguan has decided who will win the Central Plains. Because Li Zicheng is optimistic about himself, he naively thought that he could live in peace with the Qing Dynasty. He was not prepared enough, so he made the Qing Dynasty get a big advantage. As the saying goes, one wrong step will lead to the whole lot of things. Now Li Zicheng can only swallow the bitter fruit by himself.

Just when Li Zicheng and the Qing Dynasty were in a difficult situation, the head of Wanhu, the former Ming Dynasty Shaerke Wanhu Mansion, under the control of Lu Haoshan's strategy, began to attack another neighbor, Dari Dharma King, on the excuse that the horses on the ranch were stolen. It took only three days to kill and captured more than 20,000 warriors on the other side, and was as imposing as a rainbow.

It's very simple. The team had ten thousand more Sichuan troops equipped with new muskets. Once the firepower was opened, the enemy fell one by one and had no power to fight back. Of course, in order to block the news as much as possible, the Sichuan troops broke into pieces and sneaked into Pubu's territory, and even changed into Pubu's clothes. With the help of these ten thousand Sichuan troops, Pubu naturally went all the way.

Lu Haoshan finally took the first step to dominate.

In 1641, if Chongzhen was still there, it would have been the 14th year of Chongzhen.

This year was destined to be a troublesome autumn. The Central Plains were in full swing, robbing money, robbing people, and territories, which meant there was no large-scale battle. However, in the era of collapse of laws and regulations, people's greed, ambition, and violence would grow without restrictions, wars and bandits would continue to end, and the people suffered unspeakable. Not only did the people in the Central Plains suffer, but even in the bitter and cold and barren lands, a head of Wanhuo, also embarked on the road of conquest under the control of Lu Haoshan.

When the war comes, if the people are unspeakable, but there are some exceptions. The more chaotic the situation, the happier he will be. The more chaotic the more he is, the easier it is to get rich, because he makes money from the national crisis, buy low and sell high, and makes a fortune through monopoly and hoarding.

Jiexiu's Fan Yongdou is the best among them.

Seeing that the Dashun Army was retreating step by step, while the Qing army became more and more brave as they fought, Fan Yongdou's heart was as sweet as drinking honey, because he not only made a fortune, but also remanded the right treasure. By then, the Qing Dynasty ruled the world, and then he would have the "god of following the dragon" and the Fan family would soar into the sky.

In March, the spring flowers bloomed, the red flowers, green leaves, and green grass, everything seemed so beautiful and quiet. Fan Yongdou was escorting a large number of firearms and ammunition on the way back to Beijing. He was excited and looked a little more excited, because the Regent Dorgon wrote a secret letter to Fan Yongdou, and Emperor Shunzhi wanted to meet him in the capital and personally commend him for his contributions.

The capital was not Shengjing Shenyang, but Beijing, the capital of the previous dynasty. With the continuous victory on the battlefield and the submission of the Ming gentry, the Qing Dynasty slowly gained a foothold. With the help of the rebel officials and gentry, the Qing cavalry had crossed the Yellow River and surrounded the Dashun Army. Because the Qing army had been fighting in the Central Plains for a long time and was too far from the court, and sometimes they were missing each other. Dorgon saw that the time was ripe, and after some discussion, he decided to move the capital to Beijing and welcome the young Emperor Shunzhi from Shengjing to Beijing.

There are many reasons for moving the capital, mainly because Dorgon did not want his rear to escape from his control during the war. He wanted to seize both military power and regime. In addition, let Shunzhi proclaim himself emperor in Beijing, so that the people of the Central Plains can earnestly make the people of the Central Plains seriously the fact that the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains and give up resistance.

When Shunzhi became emperor in Beijing, he naturally had to reward the soldiers who had made great contributions and inspire his spirit. In this way, Fan Yongdou, who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains, was also in the ranks of the ranks. In addition, in order to show off his military power, Dorgon also asked Fan Yongdou to transport a batch of firearms to Beijing, one to equip the imperial guards, and the other to follow the nobles who moved the capital with Emperor Shunzhi to see their own military power.

In order to better control the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and establish his prestige, Dorgon did not mind showing off his martial power.

"Clan leader, why don't you be appointed as an official to you this time?" Fan Tianjun asked curiously on the way back.

Now he admires the old patriarch's vision more and more. The Qing Dynasty was still weak, and the Fan family had already bet on them, connecting the fate of the Fan family with them. Now it seems that it feels like a rare thing is that the Fan family will soar into the sky this time.

Fan Yongdou hesitated for a moment, but quickly said firmly: "If I were to choose, I would rather be a businessman for the rest of my life."

"Ah, why?" Fan Tianjun's eyes widened in surprise.

"Only by using everything to the fullest effect," Fan Yongdou said with some sigh: "We have been practicing business for generations. We have not had the ability to kill the enemy immediately, nor have the talent to dismount the country. If we force ourselves to take office, we will definitely not be able to fight against the old foxes in the officialdom. It is better to be an profit-seeking businessman An An than to be a profit-seeking businessman."

Fan Tianjun said in surprise: "They will not kill the donkey, are they? The former emperor promised that those princes have repeatedly guaranteed our safety and wealth, and will not refuse to admit their conscience, right?"

"Hahaha, Tian Jun, you are still too young. What the most incredible thing in the world is what the emperor said. Before you ascend the throne, did you say that you didn't mean to work hard and love the people, and make the people in the world happy, but how many wise kings are there in history? As for what I think yesterday, I have ideas. Think about Shen Wansan, the senior of the Ming Dynasty, who was the first to be a model."

In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a big businessman named Shen Wansan. He was rich enough to defeat the country. He helped Zhu Yuanzhang seize the world and spent a huge amount of money to build the city wall. However, he was killed in the end. It was because his hand was too long, which aroused the suspicion of Comrade Zhu Chongba.

"Yes, or is the old patriarch wise?" Fan Tianjun said with admiration.

Fan Yongdou waved his hand and said, "Let the coachmen keep the car steady. Those firearms will not fall, and they will still need to perform in front of so many princes."
