Chapter 623: Daming entering the descending channel
Sanjinshi saw that Sun Chengzong was wearing a Tsing Yi bunting and met them under the melon shed. They were not unhappy.
Sun Chengzong has a lofty status. In Ming Dynasty, he was an emperor, a scholar of the East Pavilion, a minister of war, and a superintendent. In the Southeast Mansion, he was a minister of rank comparable to the prime minister.
"It turns out that the old man is studying here, which makes me envious!" Qin Shiqi said.
"It's just leisure, the old man is old, only this task can be comfortable, you have a bright future, don't envy the old man! Sit down."
There were round tables and stools under the melon shed, all made of stone, and Sun Chengzong asked them to sit down and talk together.
Sanjinshi greeted Sun Chengzong and asked him about his physical condition, yes, yes, his health is okay, he should be strong when he is old.
Sun Chengzong asked about the situation of the three people. Qin Shiqi first talked about his experience. He lost office and went back to live in the hometown. As a scholar, he belonged to a gentry in the village. No one dared to provoke him. The world is comfortable and at ease.
Three years ago (the eleventh year of Chongzhen), the catastrophe, like Yuyang Kui's instigation, broke the neo-shang feather song!
In the same year, the northern captive chief Huang Taiji sent the army in command of the great chief Dorgon from Shenyang to bypass Mongolia to break through the Great Wall, to Jingdong, and fought south along the canal until Jinan, and conquered the capital city of Jinan Prefecture. Lian Keyi Fu, Sanzhou, and 55 counties, the King De of the Ming Dynasty was captured by the Qing Dynasty, and the envoys, governors, and prefects of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty were all killed by the Qing army. This time Dorgon captured 460,000 people and animals.
The Qing army’s invasion lasted 5 months. It fought for 2000 li, 1 prefecture, 3 prefectures and 55 counties, and returned with a full load. When retreating along the canal, the captured people, animals, treasures, gold and silver continued to flow for dozens of miles. Going back to the Great Wall.
The methods of the Eight Banners soldiers are extremely cruel, and wherever they go, "they are everywhere in the rags, and the people are broken", "the grass and the cold woods, no one is walking."
"Looking at the thorns, rubble in the surrounding suburbs."
"Thousands of miles in Hebei and Shandong, the people have slaughtered so much, the Jinren swept away with their children, cattle, sheep and horses."
The land from Zunhua to Jinan is uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the cruelty of the methods, the barbaric massacre, and the heavy destruction far exceed the "mopping" of the Japanese devils.
When Dorgon attacked, Shandong was shocked. There were panic everywhere. Rumors were flying in the sky. The Tarts were extremely vicious. According to folklore, they had three heads and six arms, huge mouths and fangs, and they would eat people without spitting out bones.
Jinxiang, Shandong, where Qin Shiqi is located, is close to Jinan. He was shocked three times a day when he heard the police, and even a little situation was enough to bomb the camp.
If it really comes, I'm afraid that Dazi will break through the thousand and seize the county alone, which is not a problem.
Qin Shiqi thought that Han and thieves should not stand apart. He was an authentic official of the Ming Dynasty and could not be a thieves.
As a last resort, the family left their hometown, first went to Xuzhou, and then moved to Nanjing.
Belonging to the Jinshi class, even if you are not an official, and have the support of the same class, you can live on as long as you write and sell paintings.
Life in Nanjing is stable, but he is deeply disappointed!
The creatures of the North are overwhelmed, and the South is singing and dancing!
The doctors are drunk and dreamy, drunk and dreamy!
If the northern captives are strong, should the officials share their worries and train their troops and horses to prepare for battle?
However, officials of the Ministry of War in Nanjing often missed the hall. They went to work in the Qinhuai River at night and went home to rest during the day. How could they be allowed to sit in the hall?
The rest of the departments are like this. They often ask for leave and do not take care of errands.
He reads the Dibao, which is a collection of information between the imperial courts, not to the outside world. As Qin Shiqi, reading a Dibao is a trivial matter, really shocking!
In January, Li Zicheng conquered Ruzhou; Zhang Xianzhong went to Kaixian Dapoming with a fierce army.
In February, Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng. Although Zhang Xianzhong could not conquer the city, Zhang Xianzhong conquered the city of Xiangyang. At that time, Yang Sichang used Xiangyang as his military residence, and hundreds of thousands of gold and armor were gathered in the city. Each goal has a lieutenant defense. After Zhang Xianzhong left Sichuan, he drove three hundred miles a day and night, killing Yang Sichang's envoy on the road, taking his military talisman, and entering Xiangyang City with twenty-eight riders. The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and the residents saw the fire, thinking that the city was full of thieves, and the city collapsed. Zhang Xianzhong held Wang Yiming in Nancheng Tower and said: "I want to borrow the king's head to make Yang Sichang trap the vassal vassal." Both Xiang Wang Zhu Yiming and Guiyang Wang Zhu Changfa were killed.
The thief flame is so arrogant!
Just as Zhang Xianzhong said, Yang Sichang was brought to the ground. Yang Sichang was already seriously ill and died of horror (or suicide) when he heard the news.
At this point, the two ministers of the Ming Dynasty who presided over the besieging of the thieves of the Central Plains: Yang Sichang died, Xiong Wencan went to the southeast mansion, the officers and soldiers were lonely, and there was no need to find a decent civilian to command!
Zhang Xianzhong captured Gwangju and Suizhou with great momentum!
On April 19, the imperial court used Ding Qirui, the three-side minister of the governor-general, as the minister of war and supervising the army of Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang and Jiangbei.
Qi Rui didn't know the soldiers, and he didn't know what to do when he was under heavy responsibility. After being ordered to leave Tongguan, Chengtian will go to Jingzhou. Huguang tour will follow Wang Chengzhao to hide the boat, Qirui will arrive, and will not be allowed to cross for five days. Turning to Dengzhou, the people scolded behind closed doors. If you pass the inner village, you are also not allowed to enter. The army had to walk through the barren mountains and eat horse meat. Qi Rui heard that Kaifeng was surrounded by an army, with an army of 700,000, so he didn't dare to fight with it!
Not only is ** rampant, there are also natural disasters.
From April to August, in the Wujiang area, severe droughts did not rain, and migratory locusts covered the sky. Official arrests are increasing. The price of rice is four taels per stone, and the folks use stale grains as a treasure, or eat tree crumbs and elm peel. Plants are set up everywhere to serve porridge, and there is not enough food. People often flee to Southeast Mansion by boat!
In June, there were severe droughts in Liangji, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Huguang, and locusts rose. At that time, Shandong and other provinces reported disasters year after year. They urged Zuo Mao and other superintendents to transport the water, saying: "The minister arrived in Linqing from Jinghai, and saw the people who died of starvation two, two victims of the epidemic, two thieves, four escaped ."
A thief, Li Qingshan, led a popular uprising and blocked the transportation of water. The Ming court was shocked~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What Zuo Mao did not dare to write was the four who fled, and went to the Southeast Mansion on the sea more!
There is only one exception among them, that is, Zhejiang, where the Southeast Government releases grain to keep the people from losing.
The change of the previous rule of accepting people made Zuo Mao uneasy, wondering why the Southeast Mansion acted like this?
After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he woke up, this is Southeast Mansion's strength to maintain the basic plate!
The heaviest blow came!
In July, Hong Chengchou led eight generals including Ma Ke and Wu Sangui to aid Jinzhou, with 130,000 troops stationed in Songshan.
On August 20, Huangtai, the northern captive, led the army to cross the road between Songshan and Xingshan. Hong Chengchou was terrified, but he was powerless if he wanted to fight, and the road of sending food to defend has been cut off. So Ma Ke, Wu Sangui and others fled one after another, and the soldiers of all towns were defeated. Hong Chengchou led 130,000 soldiers and lost more than 53,000 people. The siege of Jinzhou is urgent. And Matsuyama's foreign aid is also absent.
The bad news spread to Nanjing, and the Gonggon princes in the Nanjing court were also shocked rarely!
"Ding Qirui doesn't know the soldiers, so let him go to send pigs and feed wolves, and send others to do better than him!"
"Yang Sichang's legs are straight, but they are clean!"
"Xiong Wencan has the support of the Southeast Mansion. If he is still on the front line, the Southeast Mansion will not dare to take the charge of Taishan being killed, but has to support him. I am not worried!"
"The thieves in the Central Plains are very fierce, who can calm down!"
"Professors Li Xihan and Wang Zhiju attacked Gong Yang, Huang Zongzhouli bit Xiong Wencan, and sent Li, Wang, and Huang to scold the thieves!"
"Good idea, for matters outside the customs, which supervisor will follow Zhuge Liang and curse Wang Lang to kill Huang Taiji?"
Everyone was whispering and understood very well that now there is no general inside against the thieves of the Central Plains. Outside, Huang Taiji has annihilated the last heavy armed group of Ming Dynasty.
No commander, no generals, no soldiers, this is the Ming Dynasty pill! uMore wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
