This Qing is wrong

Chapter 146
"Li Ergou, are you the first batch of soldiers to fight against the demon Daoist Li Changqing?

Still successfully escaped three times under the hands of the demon Taoist Li Changqing? "

A guerrilla general from the green camp of the Qing army looked at Li Ergou suspiciously and asked.

Li Ergou held his head high, his face solemn, and he really looked like a veteran of many battles. He replied loudly: "My lord, the last battle of Guangzhou City is not about me fleeing, but about the adults above me. All the soldiers ran away, and I was helpless, unable to fight against the army of the demon Dao Li Changqing.

Therefore, I can only keep my useful body, in order to continue to fight against the demon Li Changqing in the future and defend the Great Qing Dynasty.

As long as I, Li Ergou, don't die, I will keep fighting for the Qing Dynasty! "

After the guerrilla general finished listening, the suspicion in his eyes suddenly turned into surprise.

He never expected that Li Ergou's ideological awareness was so high!
You know, many officials don't have such a "deep understanding".

The guerrilla general thought to himself: "There are so many routs now, and there are even situations where the military attache of the green battalion has run away. The most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts. This Li Ergou has enough experience in fighting the demon Taoist Li Changqing, and he has the courage to fight the demon Taoist Li Changqing. Confrontation can just fill the vacancy of military attache."

"Yes, follow me. As long as you can sort out the broken soldiers I handed over to you, I will give you a thousand real needs."

Li Ergou originally had a general position, although he was temporarily promoted from the team that Shang Kexi used as cannon fodder.

But now the Qing army in Guangdong Province is in a worse environment than each other. Even Shang Kexi's eldest son Shang Zhixin has taken tens of thousands of Qing troops to escape. Who cares how much Li Ergou's total water is ?

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that many of these Qing troops gathered from various places are incomplete and urgently need to employ people.

Nowadays, the Qing army in Guangdong Province generally suffers from "monster fear". There are only a handful of military officers who dare to face the demon Dao Li Changqing, and even those who fled after losing their positions have appeared. The Qing army urgently needs the courage to fight against the demon Dao Li Two dogs against man.

Li Ergou's rhetoric alone may be nothing, but who wouldn't shout slogans?

But Li Ergou's rhetoric coupled with his rich "combat experience", the persuasiveness is completely different.

A grassroots member of the Qing army who survived all kinds of beatings by the demon Dao Li Changqing has the courage to face the demon Dao Li Changqing, which is very credible.

As for Li Ergou's record of repeated battles and defeats, it is not a problem at all in the Qing army in Guangdong Province today, because no one has ever defeated the demon Li Changqing...

Everyone is defeated under Li Changqing's subordinates, so don't make fun of anyone!
After returning to the Qing army, Li Ergou felt like he was dreaming, but he was really promoted!

Promoted directly from Chief Executive to Chief Qian!
There are hundreds of people under the leadership of Lvyingqian!

Before Li Ergou met the demon Daoist Li Changqing, the biggest official he had talked to was the level of Chief Qian.

As for the task assigned to him by the guerrilla general, it was nothing to Li Ergou.

Li Ergou has been defeated all the way, and his status in the Qing army is getting higher and higher. He has also managed many people under his command, so he has already figured out the experience.

At least, there is no problem with ideological education, and superficial chanting of slogans can still be done.

And because Li Ergou was born as a low-level green battalion leader, he has more common topics with those ordinary green battalion soldiers, and it is easy to win the favor of ordinary soldiers.

There were not a few soldiers like Li Ergou who regrouped under Shang Kexi's account.

Many soldiers of the Qing army did not dare to turn to the man-eating monster Li Changqing because their hands were stained with the blood of too many Guangdong people, or they were foreigners, so they could only bite the bullet and return to Shang Kexi's banner.

Of course, more of them were Qing troops stationed in various places in Guangdong Province.

Most of the military attaches of the Qing army who escaped were born from these garrisoned Qing troops.

After the military officers of the Qing army learned that the tens of thousands of troops around Shang Kexi had been defeated by the demon Taoist Li Changqing, and even produced a rebellious son Shang Zhixin, their expectations for the Qing army to defeat the demon Taoist Li Changqing had been dashed.

Since the Qing army couldn't beat the demon Li Changqing, they naturally didn't want to continue waiting to die on the tree of the Qing army.

In addition, Shang Kexi wanted to gather everyone together, and many military officers of the Qing army thought that Shang Kexi was going crazy and wanted to drive them to fight the demon Li Changqing, so there were many escapees, especially the middle and lower level military officers of the Qing army!

Almost all the military attaches of the Qing army who fled were from the green battalion.

Many military officers are from the Han army banner, and they don't even want to be bannermen!
From this we can see how terrifying Li Changqing, the demon Taoist, is in the eyes of the Qing army in Guangdong Province at this time.

However, after more than half a month of gathering troops, Shang Kexi still gathered more than 4 Qing troops, and most of the gathered Qing troops brought their own food, grass and military equipment (searched from the garrison), and did not bring Shang Kexi. Too much logistical pressure.

Of course, due to the large number of people and the paralysis of the logistics supply system of most of the state capitals in Guangdong Province, it is impossible for Shang Kexi to support these 4 troops for a long time.

Shang Kexi has been waiting for news from Jiangxi and Huguang during the gathering period.

Because at this time Emperor Kangxi had dispatched two generals from the capital.

One is Aixinjueluo Yuele, the grandson of Qing Taizu Aixinjueluo Nurhachi, and the fourth son of Rao Yumin County King Abatai.

Prince An was appointed by Emperor Kangxi as the General of Dingyuan Pingkou, the governor of all military and political powers in Huguang, and put down the rebels in Guangdong Province.

The other is Aixinjueluo Leerjin, a Manchurian Zhenghong Banner, and the imperial clan of the Qing Dynasty.

Great-grandson of Prince Li Daishan, grandson of Prince Ying Sahalin, fourth son of King Leke Dehun of Shuncheng County.

King Shuncheng, General Jingkou!

The governor of Le Erjin, the military and political power in Jiangxi Province, assists Yue Le in suppressing the rebels in Guangdong Province.

It can be regarded as Yue Le's deputy.

At the same time, Emperor Kangxi also ordered Geng Jingzhong in Fujian Province, Guangxi General Sun Yanling in Guangxi Province, and Shang Kexi in Guangdong Province to obey Yue Le's dispatch orders.

Therefore, during this period of time, it is gratifying to wait for Yue Le's news while gathering troops.

The Qing army in the surrounding provinces of Guangdong Province, whether it is the Han army in the vassal state, the garrisoned green battalion, or even the Eight Banners of the Han army directly under the Qing court, have all been mobilized.

The local gentry even took the initiative or were forced to provide logistics for the Qing army.

It's a pity that the pace of military deployment in this era is too slow. Li Changqing's call for founding the country and proclaiming himself emperor has spread throughout Guangdong Province, and the Qing army's encirclement and suppression troops are still delayed.

Of course, it may also be related to the fact that the Qing army has not yet figured out how to face the demon Li Changqing.

Shang Kexi, a diehard loyalist of the Qing Dynasty, reported all the information he knew about Li Changqing, the demon Dao, in detail.

The Qing court's assassination against the demon Dao Li Changqing failed again, and there was even news that the demon Dao Li Changqing could control the minds of high-grade warriors. How could the Qing court not be afraid?

If it wasn't for the fact that Li Changqing, the demon Taoist, proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country, and had already been fighting with the Qing court forever, the Qing court really wanted to sit down and have a good talk with Li Changqing, the demon Taoist.

As long as they can live in peace, so what if they ceded Guangdong Province to Li Changqing, the demon Taoist?
As for Pingnan King Shang Kexi's loss of the old feudal land, it can just be used as punishment for Pingnan King Shang Kexi's repeated defeats.

However, Li Changqing's actions to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor and the proclamations distributed everywhere have been seen by the Qing court, and they have no possibility of peace at all.

The demon Li Changqing was too hostile to the Qing court.

However, Li Changqing, a demon, is also a madman who does whatever he wants and never cares about the overall situation. This kind of talent is the most difficult to convince.

It's like the president of a big country who threatens his opponents with the nuclear button at every turn, and everyone has nothing to do with him.

After Shang Kexi got Yue Le's order, he became even more depressed.

Yue Le's order was simple, to maintain a military presence in Guangdong Province and to take control of the state capitals that were not occupied by puppet Tang troops.

This order made Shang Kexi understand that even Yue Le didn't dare to confront the demon Taoist Li Changqing, and he didn't even dare to lead troops into Guangdong Province.

It's just because the distance of the monster Li Changqing's throwing the puppet has been stretched to the extent that everyone can't imagine, and they have to face it.

Even Yue Le is so 'cautious', it's not difficult to understand why the officers and soldiers of the Qing army who have seen the demon Li Changqing in Guangdong Province suffer from 'monster phobia'.

When Shang Kexi was worried and was using women and wine to vent his troubles all day long, Li Changqing in Guangzhou City was surprised to receive a letter of surrender secretly sent by Shang Zhixin.

After Shang Zhixin 'tamed' the Qing army in his hands, he immediately had a heart-to-heart talk with the middle and high-level military officers of the Qing army he had promoted under his command.

Let them understand that the demon Li Changqing is not a real man-eating monster, and after discussing everyone's situation and the glorious future after taking refuge in the Tang Empire, Shang Zhixin finally got the whole army to stand with him.

Thus, a letter of surrender was sent to the city of Guangzhou.

As a matter of course, with the surrender of tens of thousands of troops, Li Changqing naturally wanted to call his "small cabinet" to discuss it.

The cabinet is Li Changqing's name for the core of Datang's power.

"Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we accept Shang Zhixin's open surrender, the Qing army in Guangdong Province and even the surrounding provinces will immediately destroy Your Majesty's rumors.

As long as the ridiculous rumors no longer circulate in the Qing army, the Qing army will inevitably disintegrate quickly in the face of His Majesty's war puppet throwing, and the rule of the Qing court will be like a fortress on the beach, wiped out by a wave of waves. "

Hao Zhongcheng suggested excitedly.

After all, the benefits of accepting Shang Zhixin's surrender are too great, this is tens of thousands of Qing troops!

Zhang Jianfei on the other side retorted: "Shang Zhixin and the Qing army led by him are unpopular in Guangdong Province. If we accept them, it may be difficult to gain the support of the people of Guangdong Province."

"Ha ha!
Zhang Jianfei, you have entered the cabinet now, why do you still retain this ridiculous 'mind of the small people'? "

Zhang Hao sneered mercilessly.

"This world has never been decided by those ordinary people. As long as the gentry and clans in Guangdong Province support us, the opinions of ordinary people will not affect the empire's rule of Guangdong Province at all.

And it's very easy for those clan gentry to join us, as long as they show the muscles of the empire, they will submit obediently.

The only problem is that we are expanding too fast, and I am afraid that there will be a huge shortage of civil affairs officials. The current structure of the Ministry of Government Affairs is no problem in managing a city of Guangzhou and surrounding areas. If we expand several state capitals, the Ministry of Government Affairs will be overwhelmed.

With His Majesty's ability, the question before us is not how to defeat the Qing army, but how to govern the growing territory. "

Li Changqing felt that the thoughts of the mind-controlled people under him had made rapid progress, and the problems he thought of now were getting closer and closer to his own thoughts.

Li Changqing's purpose for holding this cabinet meeting is here.

How should he manage the growing territory and growing population?
This is a good opportunity to change the poor finances of the Tang Empire!

Li Changqing is actually inclined to adopt the tax package system.

It is to entrust those clan tyrants for self-government, and then collect taxes through them.

This kind of system will inevitably bring huge hidden dangers, because those clan gentry will be able to use their authority to collect taxes autonomously to expand their armed forces wantonly.

And the clan gentry with guns and food in their hands will naturally try to annex those small clan gentry and expand their territory.

In the end, there will be barbaric top gentry at the level of Qiu Hui in Guangdong Province, and they will even be stronger than the current Qiu Hui.

Isn't this a reprint of the Jiedushi in the late Tang Dynasty?
Li Changqing rubbed his chin and thought: "If the area under my rule is full of self-supporting Jiedu envoys, can I keep killing rebels... oh no, I'm playing with Jiedu envoys?

Just thinking about it is exciting!
In this way, I don't have to worry about the embarrassment that I will lose my opponent after the Qing court collapses.

Moreover, the places I rule are full of armed self-reliant groups. As long as I put the system enemy forces farther away, it will be difficult for the system enemy forces to hit me.

Well, if those local snakes who support soldiers are obedient, I can let them send troops directly, without even needing me to send a grain of food.

On weekdays, I can also collect taxes from them through the tax package system.

I will throw war puppets on anyone who dares not to pay taxes.

Perfect! "

In fact, the 'cabinet ministers' present also thought of an emergency method, but this kind of enfeoffment has great hidden dangers, and they couldn't figure out what Li Changqing was thinking.

"I think Qiu Hui's example is very good.

We can maintain the rule of living in Guangzhou City, thanks to Qiu Hui's continuous transfer of supplies for us. "

Seeing that the people below were silent, Li Changqing simply threw out his decision.

Anyway, the cabinet meeting was originally used to implement and communicate Li Changqing's policies.

"Your Majesty is wise. Qiu Hui is loyal and diligent to the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court can grant Qiu Hui more territories and set a good example for those local clan gentry."

After the people below learned that Li Changqing wanted to be entrusted, they immediately began to speak freely.

Anyway, they are all sealed, even if they are cut into small pieces, they will be merged sooner or later.

It's better to be more generous, set up Qiu Hui as a good example, and attract the clan gentry in Guangdong Province to surrender in the shortest possible time.

At this time, the main force of the Qing army garrison in various state capitals either disbanded or were transferred away by Shang Kexi. The example has been set, and the Tang Dynasty can completely pass it on!

"Very well, let's discuss next. Shang Zhixin has brought more than 3 troops to surrender. What position should we give him?"

　What was owed yesterday will be made up tomorrow
