Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 482: The Qing Dynasty, subjugation, and partition! (Please vote for me, please subscribe)
On the fourth day of November, Linqingzhou City.

It snowed heavily for several days and finally stopped this morning.

Perhaps it was because the 65-year war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties was too brutal, and there were decades of continuous natural and man-made disasters. The population living in China dropped by more than 65 million compared to the Wanli period of the previous Ming Dynasty!So when this war finally came to an end due to the fall of the Qing Dynasty, God would fall so heavily with snow that it would turn the sky and the earth white, as if the world was in mourning.And this heavy snow may have another deep meaning, which is to use this white snow to bury this human tragedy that has lasted for [-] years, and at the same time tell people all over the world that a new era has arrived!

Outside the city of Linqing Prefecture, hundreds of thousands of Ming army officers and soldiers all put on brand-new military uniforms and polished helmets. Some cavalrymen who were equipped with breastplates polished their breastplates so much that they looked like mirrors. used!All troops, organized into battalions, formed a neat square formation. The bayonets on the infantry's muskets were like pieces of steel jungle shining with glory!The cavalrymen also drew their sharp sabers and held them tightly in front of their chests, with the tip of the saber facing the sky. Under the sun, the cold light was dazzling and heart-wrenching!

Red military flags fluttered in the wind in front of the formations of each battalion, brigade and division, displaying all the sacrifices and glory condensed in these blood-based flags!At the same time, it also shows how hard-won the victory paved with 65 years of fierce fighting and countless blood is!

Although these 65 years of chaos have paid a heavy price and lost countless lives, everyone standing outside Linqing Prefecture today knows that the victory they have achieved is unprecedented!The republican era they created was also unprecedented!
This is not a dynasty that belongs to the emperor and the world, but a Ming Republic that belongs to the people of the world!
The idea that the world is for the public has long been written into classics by Chinese sages and regarded as the ultimate political ideal. Finally, after the land of China suffered the second disaster of subjugating the world, it was discovered by a group of Confucian scholars who had experienced the pain of subjugating the country and subjugating the world. After further development, a relatively feasible new system was finally formed.And this new republican system was carried forward in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, which later ignited the war again, turning the "battle between the family and the world" that overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restored the Zhu family into a struggle between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the people of the world!
No matter how powerful the Manchu Qing Dynasty was, how could they be the enemy of the people of the world who were united as one?
When the people of the Ming Dynasty rebelled against the Qing Dynasty for their own world, how could the fighting power they unleashed be comparable to that of the earlier Ming army soldiers who could not even get one tael of silver a month as military pay?
This world of the Republic and the Ming Dynasty belongs to these Chinese soldiers who sacrificed their lives and blood for the Republic and the Ming Dynasty, and it is real!

Not only do they have generous military pay, sufficient supplies, and sophisticated equipment, but after tying the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they can also share their merits - after tying the Manchu Qing Dynasty, those who are not nationals will be promoted to the country, and those who are nationals will be promoted to the country. Scholars of the country can also take the next step to become a noble officer!Of course, it's not easy to get promoted to an official position, but there is still military merit to be divided!

There are many people in the southeast but little land, so it has long been indistinguishable.But in the north and west, there are fewer people and more farmland. Wastelands can be seen everywhere in Henan, Shandong, and Zhili!There is a vast world outside the Liaodong Pass, and there is much to be divided!

Everyone is waiting. Even the last empress of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Xiaomi, Liang Jiucheng, and Zhao Chang, who are standing silently in the gate cave near the south gate of Qingzhou City, as well as hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Qing army who are preparing for the surrender ceremony, are quietly waiting. wait.

Yang Xiaomi, who had only been in power for a few days and had not yet had time to taste the sweetness that only the highest power possesses, was now dressed in plain clothes and standing feebly next to the coffin where Emperor Kangxi was lying, with a pair of eyes rolling in his eyes. Hua'er was crying. She didn't know whether she was crying for herself or for her Qing Dynasty.
Today there will be no siege and defense, there will only be an "unconditional surrender" ceremony. Yang Xiaomi, who was ordered by Kangxi, the late Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to clean up the mess for the Qing Dynasty, represented the Qing court to the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition. General Lu Shangshu ordered Li Zhongshan to surrender!

Although the surrender of Yang Xiaomi, the Queen of the Qing Dynasty, does not mean that the Qing forces scattered everywhere, especially outside the pass and north of the mouth, will lay down their weapons and surrender to the Ming Dynasty or submit to the Qing Dynasty.But as soon as Empress Yang surrendered, the righteousness of the Qing Dynasty was gone!

Empress Yang, who was in charge of the Qing Dynasty according to Kangxi's imperial edict, surrendered, and the Nanshufang ministers who assisted the Qing imperial power in governing also surrendered. The twenty or thirty emperor's seals symbolizing the Qing imperial power would also be handed over, and in these Before handing over the emperor's seals, Empress Yang would also use these emperor's seals to, in the name of the Queen Regent of the Qing Dynasty (not the Queen Mother, because there would be no new Qing emperor), to the Qing princes and princes who were defending themselves in various places. The defender issued a decree to surrender to the Ming army.

And they will also tell them: The Qing Dynasty has perished!
Faced with the overwhelming advantage of the Ming Dynasty's army, those scattered remnants of the Qing Dynasty would most likely give up after receiving Yang Xiaomi's decree and the news of the Qing's demise. Of course, this group of people will not "unconditionally" Surrender", they still have to use the army and territory in their hands to bargain with Ming Dynasty.

Everyone is waiting for Li Zhongshan to arrive, and he is now in his tent, wearing a brand-new python robe of the Ming Dynasty Prince, sitting behind a desk, holding a writing brush in his hand, suppressing his excitement, I am writing a memorial to Prince Zhu to report the good news of the death of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the surrender of the Queen Regent Yang Xiaomi of the Qing Dynasty and the fall of the Qing Dynasty!
The memorial was quickly finished. Li Zhongshan put down his brush, looked at the memorial filled with calligraphy, and sighed in his heart: "I have finally put this country in order."

Zhou Chang, the military advisor of the Northern Expeditionary Army, also put on a brand new python robe. He pressed the handle of his waist knife with one hand and stroked his beard with the other, with an excited smile on his face.I saw that Li Zhongshan had put down his brush and finished writing the memorial.Zhou Chang stood up immediately: "General, it's time for you to go out and accept surrender."

Li Zhongshan smiled: "I know, I'm going to meet the little widow left by Kangxi. She is still my sister-in-law!"

"Then the general must comfort her." Zhou Chang said to Li Zhongshan with a smile.

Li Zhongshan nodded: "It is true that she should be comforted. The crimes committed by Nurhaci, Huang Taiji, Dorgon, Fulin, and Xuan Ye should not be made to her. Moreover, Princess Yang's marriage card will have a great impact on the future. For China, it is also very important. For this reason, Xiaomi, no matter how high or low, must be given to a country lady."

The 65-year war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties produced not only a republican Ming Dynasty, but also a world of spreading Chinese civilization!
There is no doubt that the Republic of Ming Dynasty will be a huge intercontinental country, but its territorial area will probably be difficult to exceed that of the Republic of another time and space. It will end with 1000 million to 1200 million square kilometers.

After all, the cost and difficulty of governing an empire that is too large are quite high.Moreover, the transportation technology and communication technology of this era are obvious, so Ming Dynasty can only accept the reality of the spread of Chinese civilization and seek the status of a Chinese world leader.

There is such a group of younger brothers of the same race and civilization, and their territories are spread over half of the world. It is also quite majestic. When the League of Nations holds a conference in the future, the Ming Dynasty will be able to respond to everything. If anyone is not convinced, then lead a bunch of younger brothers to fight mightily. Come to your door to teach you how to be a good person!

To ensure the cohesion of this Chinese world, especially to ensure that Chinese language, culture, and beliefs can firmly occupy a dominant position in each "Chinese brother country", the simplest and most effective way is to promote the ruling groups of each Chinese brother country. Marry each other to form a circle where you are in me and I am in you.

However, the Ming Dynasty, Wu Zhou Dynasty, and the dynasty that may emerge after the fall of the Qing Dynasty to occupy part of the Mughal territory controlled by the Qing Dynasty (Li Zhongshan estimates that it will be Ge Erdan's family), as well as sneak into the New World to establish the Aztec A marriage between the Geng family of the Republic of Croatia is unlikely to occur in the short term.

A princess from the Yang dynasty, which rules Korea, Ezo Island, Sakhalin Island, northern Kyushu Island, and part of North America, is an acceptable marriage partner to all countries. The Yang family has plenty of money and can buy a generous marriage for the princesses. The dowry; secondly, the Yang family's basic base is not big, there is only one country, North Korea, so there is no threat to all aspects; thirdly, the women of the Yang family are quite good-looking.

Thinking of this, Li Zhongshan patted Zhou Chang on the shoulder, then walked out of the tent with a smile.A gust of cold wind hit his face, and General Li's spirit was lifted.He shouted: "Bring the horse!"

Some soldiers had already brought over a tall, strong Western horse. Li Zhongshan got on the horse, and then, regardless of whether the people behind him followed him, he urged the horse to step on the snow and galloped towards the outside of the camp.Zhou Chang, Wang Quan, Li Zhongxian and others mounted their horses to follow. Dozens of strong horses galloped up, stirring up a cloud of snow mist. They galloped straight to a Ming army infantry square outside the south gate of Linqing Prefecture, and then stopped. He took off the reins and stopped the horse.

General Li Zhongshan's flag followed closely. A tall flag bearer held the flagpole with one hand and fluttered in the wind behind General Li.

"Long live!" A cheer broke out deep in the military formation nearby, and then more and more people cheered together, and finally gathered into one voice: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"

In the midst of this huge roar, Yang Xiaomi, the last empress of the Qing Dynasty, glanced at General Li riding on a tall horse, sighed, looked around, and took a swinging bow from Liang Jiucheng, the "last eunuch of the Qing Dynasty" Carrying the book and a plate with the imperial seal of the Qing Dynasty, he walked forward on foot towards Li Zhongshan.Four strong men in white carried Kangxi's coffin on poles and followed Queen Yang to Li Zhongshan.Behind the coffin where Kangxi was placed were the officials of the Qing Dynasty who stayed in Linqing Prefecture City and followed Empress Yang to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Li Zhongshan rode his horse and stood there, watching Yang Xiaomi walk towards him step by step. Until she walked in front of his horse, he knelt on the cold snow with both knees and spoke softly, waxy and full of sadness. A very sympathetic voice came up and said to Li Zhongshan: "The Queen Regent of the Qing Dynasty, Yang, led all the officials of the Qing Dynasty to kowtow to the general and beg for surrender."

After saying this, she began to sob softly, which was really heartbreaking to watch.Li Zhongshan quickly got off his horse and walked to Yang Xiaomi. He first took the tray containing the seal and the letter of surrender, and handed it to a personal attendant beside him. Then he stretched out his hands, held Yang Xiaomi's forearms, and gently He gently helped her up: "Xiao Mi, don't be sad. The death of the Qing captives and Kangxi's crimes have nothing to do with you. If you can recognize the current situation and surrender, the Ming Dynasty will definitely treat you better. Besides, Yang Sange will soon be the king of North Korea." When the time comes, you will be the princess of North Korea, and in the Ming Dynasty you will be given the title of Lady of the Country."

Yang Xiaomi glanced at Li Zhongshan gratefully, then at Kangxi's coffin, and whispered: "The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty is here. It's up to you whether he should be broken into pieces, or his bones should be crushed and ashes spread. , I just hope that the general can spare the officials and soldiers in Qingzhou City a way to live."

Of course, the officials of the Qing Dynasty who are still staying in Linqing Prefecture and have nothing to do with the battle of the Yellow River, and it is impossible for their hands to be stained with the blood of the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty and the third prince Zhu.

Therefore, it was impossible for Li Zhongshan to embarrass these surrender factions... After all, there were still many Qing ministers and princes lining up to become second ministers!

Moreover, the plate left by Kangxi was huge, spanning more than [-] miles!It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to swallow it in one bite, so the remnants of the Qing Dynasty will definitely exist!Now that the Ming Dynasty is giving preferential treatment to the surrenderers, it can be regarded as setting an example for the remnant parties, lest the Qing Dynasty is dead and the group of remnant parties continue to cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty!
So, Li Zhongshan smiled and said to Queen Yang: "I have established a country with benevolence and righteousness. I will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, and there is no reason to kill and surrender. Now that I have allowed them to surrender, I will definitely keep them safe."

Xiaomi, you, Kangxi and Prince Yu Fuquan’s sons..."

Yang Xiaomi was quite fertile and gave birth to six or seven children to Fuquan and Xuan Ye.Five of them are still alive, three sons and two daughters!
Two of the three sons are from Kangxi, one of the two daughters is from Kangxi, and the remaining one son and one daughter are from Fuquan.

Forget the two daughters, but those three sons... seem to be qualified to inherit the Qing throne!
If it fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it would probably be beneficial to the country!
Yang Xiaomi shook his head and said with tears in his eyes: "As a son and a daughter born to King Yu, my brother has sent people to the Rakshasa Kingdom...

As a child of Kangxi, I am now staying in Beijing... I don’t know if I will have a chance to see you again in this life? "

"Xiao Mi, you don't have to worry." Li Zhongshan comforted him, "Beijing should be controlled by your brother Yang Qilong now. He will never harm your children."

Yang Xiaomi nodded, but she still understood it in her heart.I will never see those three sons again...

Although Yang Qilong would not harm Kangxi's sons, he would not admit that they were alive!

Not to mention bringing these three sons to Yang Xiaomi to raise... Only if they "non-exist" can they have real safety.

……

Shuntianfu, within the territory of Changping Prefecture.

On the same night that the Queen Regent of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Xiaomi, fell to the ground and asked Li Zhongshan to surrender, the last hope of the Qing Dynasty was meandering north on the official road in Changping Prefecture.The once arrogant Qing Dynasty now only has the Empress Dowager Bumbutai and the Prince Baoqing left, as well as a hundred eunuchs and guards who are still protecting them.Aunt Sumala, who was older than Bumbutai, rode a horse and directed the remaining eunuchs and guards all the way. She kept cheering them up, saying that the Qing Dynasty still had Beijing, Guandong, and Monan Mongolia, Mobei Mongolia, and the Taiping Valley in the west. As long as the prince arrives in Beijing, everything will be saved!

But Bumubutai, who was sitting in the carriage, was not happy at all when he heard these words.

Because all this is just the legacy of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty is gone!Just like the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty that withdrew from Dadu in the past cannot represent the Great Yuan Dynasty, they can only establish a Northern Yuan Dynasty that partially inherits the legacy of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Northern Yuan Dynasty was not the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the Northern Qing Dynasty was not the Great Qing Dynasty.

As for how much of the legacy of the Qing Dynasty this Northern Qing Dynasty can inherit, and whether it can even exist, it is still open to question!

Just when the old lady was thinking about how much power she could still use and how much money she could get from the Qing Dynasty inheritance, the carriage she was riding in suddenly stopped.

Bumbutai was immediately startled and suddenly opened the car curtain: "Aunt Sumala, what's wrong?"

Aunt Sumala pointed forward with trembling hands: "The Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is finished! It's finished!"

Bumbutai also saw everything in front of him, and his face suddenly turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost.It turned out that she saw a group of about a thousand cavalrymen dressed as Guan Ning Army of the Ming Army, blocking the way. The leader, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, was holding a long spear, it was Wu Sangui!No, it’s not Wu Sangui, it just looks like Wu Sangui!
Bumbutai had a white face and trembled and murmured to himself: "Wu Yingqi, that's Wu Yingqi." Aunt Su Ma also just looked at Bumbutai tremblingly: "The Empress Dowager, the Qing Dynasty is dead, completely "Dead"

Wu Yingqi, who was opposite, laughed loudly: "The old Queen Mother, I have blocked you. As soon as I saw the fire in Beijing, I knew that Yang Qilong was rebelling! If you can escape, you must want to go to Beijing, in order to block you." , I ran very fast all night!
It's okay now. I also have a share in the destruction of the Qing Dynasty. I can bargain with the man named Li. By the way, is Baoqing here? "

"Wu Yingqi, what do you want to do?" Bumbutai asked tremblingly.

"Nothing," Wu Yingqi said with a smile, "I want to send him to Taiping Valley. The people Kangxi left in Taiping Valley still recognize him as the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty. Old Queen, please come with me to Beijing again! Beijing All the money and wealth belongs to Yang Qilong, so it’s time for me to go to Beijing, right?”
