Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 759

The thick curtain is closed.

A plate is placed on the Kang table, and a small charcoal stove is placed on the Kang table to warm a pot of old Shaoxing wine, and then a few side dishes are placed on the table.

Fried peanuts, tofu, fungus, yuba, etc. Vegetarian assortment, preserved eggs, pork skin jelly, plus a cold ear shreds, a fried steamed bun, very rich.

At this time, the location of the two people was the former military office in the Huaiyuan Gate in the southwest of Shenyang, which is now the admiral's office in No. 15 Town of the Imperial Camp.
Li Changxiang's governor's office was located in the former household department's office in Fujinmen, southeast of Shenyang. Zhang Guowei's Liao governor's office was located in the south of the city, and the inspector's office was located in the northwest of the city.

The Tartars built the Imperial Palace, the Khan Palace, eleven palaces, six yamen, and temples in Shenyang City.

The palace of the king and the six yamen are now converted into various yamen in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhang Guowei sent people to check and register the former imperial palace and Khan palace, and then sealed it off.

Eight Gates and Eight Streets in Shenyang City are divided into nine squares in the shape of a well, and the central area is the former Imperial Palace, King Khan’s Palace, etc., which are directly sealed off, leaving the other eight districts.

The Chongzheng Palace, Phoenix Tower, Qingning Palace, Linzhi Palace, Guansui Palace, Yanqing Palace, Yongfu Palace, etc. built by Huang Taiji were naturally sealed off.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year, I hope next year will be a good one."

The two of them drank some wine and chatted, and they felt comfortable in this snowy and windy Lidong day.

The door was pushed open, and the wind and snow poured down.

Wang Jiang, Feng Jingdi, and Wang Zhengzhong came in, "Hey, you guys have already drunk it first." The three of them came in covered in snow.

"Close the door quickly, the heat is all gone."

After closing the door curtain, the three of them took off the mink on their bodies.

"Fortunately, there is a mink, otherwise how would I go out today?"

Wang Jiang is Wang Yi's younger brother. He studied together in the early years, became a scholar, and then joined the team to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He is also working in Liaodong. Feng Jingdi was in Siming Mountain together. He was born as a censor and is now Liaodong. .

Wang Zhengzhong is Wang Zhiren's nephew. He started as a pedestrian and county magistrate, and is now the admiral of the Liaodong Provincial Battalion.

A few of them were all from the east of Zhejiang and fought side by side. Most of them were from the south of the Yangtze River. It was really difficult to adapt to the snow in the east of Liaodong.

"You guys here want to drink and eat." Li Changxiang smiled.

"I brought an elbow, good stuff." Wang Zhengzhong said with a smile.

Wang Jiang brought braised beef, and Feng Jingdi brought a braised pig's head.

All are hard vegetables.

A few people took off the sable and hung it on the side, still lamenting how good the sable fur is, the wind does not penetrate at all, even if the snow falls on it, it will not get wet.

"That's the sable fur brought back by the king's servants in the City of the Five Kingdoms. The top-quality sable fur that the Saurons hunted and processed. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, put a bowl of water on the ice and cover it with the sable skin. freeze."

Mink fur is a special product outside the customs. When Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were still outside the customs, they attached great importance to mink fur, and even launched wars against Sauron, Daur and other tribes to conquer them, and asked them to pay tribute to mink fur every year.

The Qing court also specially stipulated that Sauron and other adult men should pay tribute to one mink fur every year, but even so, Sauron and others only paid more than 3000 mink furs to the Qing court every year.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, mink fur is divided into three grades, the rich and pure black is the top, the yellow is the second, and the rest is the bottom.When paying tribute, there is also a set of very strict inspection procedures. After waiting, a seal must be stamped on the back of the mink, and then put into storage.

Mink fur belongs to the exclusive use of the royal family and nobles, and it cannot be sold to the people. Even if it is sold to the people, if the buyer dares to buy it privately after seeing the official seal, he will be charged with a serious crime.

Just like ginseng, the Tartars are monopolized by the royal trade, making huge profits.After the Tartar Ministry of Internal Affairs monopolizes mink, it will also win ministers by bestowing mink. Every winter solstice, the emperor bestows mink and enjoys treatment according to the corresponding grade. Those top ministers can get one or several mink fur.

Low-ranking ministers are not eligible to be awarded mink fur, and it is already very impressive to be able to reward fox fur.

Ordinary soldiers and civilians are not allowed to wear mink, even fox fur and lynx fur. Only princes, princes and nobles, civil and military officials can wear them.

However, mink fur is much cheaper than ginseng and Dongzhen. Mink fur is not easy to store and is prone to insects.

So sometimes the Tartar emperor would take out the mink fur stored in his store and give it to the imperial merchants for sale. This kind of mink fur is generally only allowed to be purchased by princes, nobles, civil and military officials. .

A mink fur coat requires at least ten mink furs to be made.

A fine mink fur garment costs about six or seventy taels of silver.

The Prime Minister of the Dynasty and the others led three large ships to Haidong to appease Xuanchi Savage Jurchens, and at the same time traded with them, buying fur, ginseng and Dongzhu.

Because of the prime minister of the dynasty, they brought three big ships of good things, such as iron pots, shotguns, shredded tobacco, tea, porcelain, etc., which attracted various tribes in Haidong to scramble for them.

In Mokuowei and Vladivostok, the leaders of various ministries almost fought to buy them up.Later, the Prime Minister of the Dynasty and the others went to the City of the Five Kingdoms, which is the city of the three surnames of the Tartars. This place is located in Yilan, Jilin, on the banks of the Songhua River.

It was also where the Jin people exiled Emperors Hui and Qin of the Northern Song Dynasty. Another special feature of it is that it is an important passage leading to the Sanjiang Plain. After the past, it will be the Sanjiang Plain.

Later, in the first year of Jin Tianming, the three surnames of the Hezhen nationality—Geikele (Ge surname), Hushihari (Hu Xing) and Lu Yele (Lu surname)—were moved into the name.

Here the three rivers meet, the Songhua River, the Mudan River and the Woken River. This was also the location of the head city of the Five Kingdoms of the Five Kingdoms in the Liao and Jin Dynasties. Later, it was in a barren state. Later, Tsarist Russia invaded Heilongjiang in the south, and the Hezhe people living in Songhua River, Heilongjiang, and Wusuli River continued to migrate to the Sanxing area in the upper reaches of the Songhua River. After making military exploits, Ge Yikele and other four patriarchs were compiled as the assistant leaders of the world.

The Tartars also set up post stations in this place to garrison and enrich this water and land hub.

The Prime Minister of the Dynasty recruited various ministries in Haidong, and after the great success of the mutual market trade, they struck while the iron was hot, from Mokuowei to Hunchun, then went north to Ningguta, followed the Mudan River to Sanxing City, where they met Sanxing Hezhe , and the surrounding tribal alliances, proclaim imperial edicts, grant rewards, and trade with them.

Set up the three surnames Duhu Mansion, Dudu Mansion, etc., and returned with ginseng, mink, Dongzhen deer, etc., and returned to Mokuowei before the port was closed, leaving a small group of people guarding Hunchun Yibao, Mokuo After Weigang and Vladivostok ports, they set sail and returned.

There were not many vanguard fleets left in the three castles, only more than a hundred people, but when the dynasty prime minister recruited the savage tribes in Haidong, they found many captive Han people who were forced to serve as slaves here.

The prime minister of the dynasty negotiated with the savage Jurchens and promised to redeem these Han people with goods. Finally, they agreed to take them away and redeemed more than 2000 people one after another. They temporarily placed them in three castles and let them cultivate wasteland on the side. Land, fishing and hunting, as well as assisting in fort defense, trading, purchasing and processing Jurchen fur goods, etc.

According to the dynasty, they bypassed the Korean Strait, and after resupply at the leased Jeju Port, they sailed directly to Fengtian Port. On the three large ships, they brought back more than 5000 pieces of mink skins and more than [-] catties of ginseng.

After unloading, three large ships were loaded with cargo non-stop, and a large number of winter supplies were sent across the Bohai Strait to rely on Yingkou Port.

In this batch of materials, there are many cotton clothes, brocade robes and mink fur clothes.

The logistics troops in Yingkou also transported a large amount of cotton-padded clothes, quilts and even tents, charcoal and coal to Liaoyang and Shenyang through the Liaohe River water transport.

Fortunately, the Liaohe and Hunhe rivers are convenient for water transportation, and the imperial court has long been prepared, so that the officers and soldiers stationed in Liao, especially the Ming army who went deep into Shenyang, Tieling, Kaiyuan, Zhangwu and other places, can have cotton-coated charcoal food for the winter Wait.

Senior officials such as Zhang Guowei, Wang Yi, Li Changxiang, Wang Jiang, Wang Zhengzhong, and Feng Jingdi even had a set of mink fur coats and mink hats given by the imperial court.

"Jierhalang and Fuli should be very uncomfortable in Chahanhot City right now?" Wang Jiang said while busy slicing the pig's head.

Feng Jingdi lifted the jug and poured everyone a glass. He drank a glass impatiently, then picked up two pieces of braised pig's head and ate it with a satisfied face.

"Don't worry about Jierhalang and the others, anyway, they are still far away, but those Buddha Manchus in the Shenyang prisoner camp who have not had time to be transported away, they need to take care of them, so they don't all freeze to death.

The saint has a decree to transport all these Buddhas to Manchuria to the south. "

Buddha Manchuria, the Tartars called the Eight Banners Manchuria that were incorporated into Nurhachi, or the Eight Banners Manchuria that were compiled before entering the customs, called Buddha Manchuria. In the ninth year of Emperor Taiji Tiancong, after the imperial edict was issued, the family name should be called Manchuria.

Whether it is Zhushen, Manzhu, or Manchuria, it is actually just another name for Jurchen, or the name of a certain tribe. No matter what the reason is, Huang Taiji insisted on changing Jurchen to Manchuria, and then changed it to Manchuria. The country's name is gold.

Later, the Jurchen was divided into Buddha Manchuria and Yiche Manchuria. Generally speaking, Fo Manchuria was the Jurchen reorganized after Nurhachi and Huang Taiji conquered the Haixi Jurchen and unified the Jurchen. The New Manchuria was basically Above are the tribes of Jurchen savages who conquered Songhua River, Heilongjiang and other places later.

Relatively speaking, Buddhist Manchuria has been integrated for a longer time and has become closer, but New Manchuria is relatively less closely related.

For Daming, it doesn't matter whether he is Manchuria or Jurchens, these people are enemies anyway.

However, in order to destroy the Manchus as soon as possible, the emperor still decreed to treat the Jurchens differently, and only regard the Jianzhou Jurchens as enemies, and the other Jurchens will not be held accountable as long as they are not attached to rebellion.

However, because the Haixi Jurchen has been conquered and integrated for a long time, it is more difficult to distinguish now.

Therefore, after the breakthrough of Shenyang, those Buddhist Manchurians who participated in the resistance were treated the same as Jianlu, and the New Manchurians who did not participate were still treated separately.

For these captives of Buddha Manchuria, the emperor asked not to kill the captives indiscriminately, but to transport them to Denglai and classify them there.All men, women, and children should be separated, and all the men in Manchuria will be sent to Yunnan, Guizhou and Lingnan to mine as slaves, and they will be mined slaves until they die.

Young women were sent to Taiwan, Jeju, and Hainan Island to grow sugar cane and cotton, and they were assigned to the local new immigrant Han Chinese as concubines to help them reproduce and increase the population.

As for the younger children, they will be brought up in Huangzhuang in various places, and they will continue to be manor slaves after they are raised.

Those who are old are directly distributed to courtiers, soldiers, and serve as servants.

This kind of treatment can be said to be very harsh, and it is a counterattack against the cruelty of the Tartars over the years.

It is already very kind that the emperor does not kill. The Buddhas and Manchuria are all slaves, which is kind to them, but this kind of kindness is not easy to bear.

As for the New Manchuria, as long as they belong to those who do not resist, they can be relatively forgiven, but it is not completely let go of the past. They will be resettled, their weapons and equipment will be confiscated, and they may even be banned from intermarriage in the future. These Jurchen men will not be able to marry their own clan in the future Women, women can't marry their own men, they have to intermarry with foreign races, such as Han and Mongolian, and the children born after intermarrying with Han, whether they are married to Han women or Han men, are forced to be Han.

This practice was done in the Han and Ming dynasties.

Of course, for the time being, this kind of rule is only applicable to the provinces directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, such as the Jurchens in Liaodong and Liaoxi.

The Jurchens in the provinces directly under the central government had to change their Han surnames, cut their braids and change their Han clothes, and even had to learn Chinese.

Before the snow fell, many captives from Buddha Manchuria had already been transported southward, but there were still many Buddha Manchurians who had recently been sent from Kaiyuan, Tieling and other places, and they had not arrived in time to send them away.

"The city of Shenyang has been expanded, and now there are many large houses in the city, which is convenient for housing these captives. It has also stocked a lot of wood, and there is no shortage of food. There is no need to worry about these captives dying of freezing or starvation."

Feng Jingdi said, "You have to watch carefully, and you have to beware of these tartars making trouble."

"Don't worry, there will be no chaos. We have separated men, women and children a long time ago, and those men are also separated and detained, and tied with chains. There is also a method of sitting together. If one person dares to escape or dare to plot chaos, a chain Everyone on board was put to death."

"If you want me to say, if it wasn't for the kindness of the saints, who would not let them be killed or injured, in fact, they would cut off all the thumbs of these Buddha Manchurians, and they would be done once and for all. There is no need to worry about them making trouble."

Li Changxiang sipped his warm wine, "This is not good. Without the thumbs of both hands, you will be semi-disabled, and you will be sent to the mines later, but it will be much worse. These young and strong are very good strong laborers, and they will be sent to the mines." If you go to mine, you can still mine for at least 20 years, and you will lose a lot if you die or become disabled.”

"It's true, those who surrendered to the Buddha Manchuria, also have to be careful, these people will be a hidden danger sooner or later."

"The sage has a decree. As long as it is not the Jianzhou Jurchen Buddha Manchuria, if they surrender, they can be treated differently."

The emperor’s differential treatment was those Buddhist Manchurians who voluntarily surrendered, such as the original Haixi Jurchen, or some savage Jurchen who weaved flags very early. Although they are Buddhist Manchurians, as long as they voluntarily surrender, they can be distinguished from Jianzhou Jurchen treat.

For them not to be demoted to slaves, but to be scattered and resettled, the land they ran for horses will definitely be taken back, and even those who have captured Han slaves in their homes must be returned and changed. The surname is Han, the braids are cut and clothes are easy to wear, and even sent children to the court as hostages.

For these protons, the imperial court will transfer them to Tunbao in the southwest, northwest and other frontiers to farm fields for a period of three years. Every Buddhist Manchu family who belongs to the family, whose children are over 16 years old, has the obligation to accept selection, unless they are disabled or other special Otherwise, they will be transferred to the frontier Tunbao to serve for three years on a compulsory basis.

After three years, you can go home. If anyone refuses to serve or escapes, the consequences will be serious and the whole family will be implicated.

If the family members rebel, etc., their children serving in the Central Plains will also be implicated and punished with the same crime.

"When the snow stops, drive these Fomanchu captives out to clear the snow in the city. You can't cook by the fire every day and eat and sleep. It's too enjoyable!" Wang Jiang said.

"Well, of course." Li Changxiang nodded.

No one in this group of heroes from Eastern Zhejiang felt sorry for these Tartars. When they invaded Daming again and again, looted the Han people again and again, and even massacred the city again and again, they had pity on the people of Daming who were killed by them. ?
