Chapter 682: The Qing Dynasty Unified the World

{We can only say that he was the king of unification, and his father took on the title of founding king.}
{Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan, Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, these are the founding emperors of a unified country.}
{And guess which founding emperor of a unified dynasty did not attend this big party!}
……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that his teeth were about to break!
He's not even qualified to participate in this shit!

Because the Song Dynasty was not a unified country!
"Hateful!"

How come Huang Taiji’s younger brother is so outstanding?

I have such a younger brother!
……

Qing Dynasty - Taizong Period
"Fulin..."

Although Huang Taiji gave his ninth son a name, he did not have a very deep memory of the child.

Basically, I know this person.

But I still have some impression of his mother.

Little Borjigit was the last and last of the five palaces in Chongde.

I know Manchu and Chinese, and have read quite a few Chinese books.

"Orphans and widows."

Huang Taiji touched the ring on his hand, thoughtfully.

My ninth brother seems to have no children.

……

[At this time, the Qing Dynasty's rule in the interior was limited to Zhili, Shandong, and parts of Shanxi. ]

[In Henan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, there were Li Zicheng's Dashun regime and Zhang Xianzhong's Dashi regime. South of the Yangtze River and Huai River, there was also the Southern Ming regime with Nanjing as its capital. These were undoubtedly enemies of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty could not coexist with them.]

[In October of the first year of Shunzhi (1644), the Qing army, led by Ajige and Duoduo, attacked Li Zicheng.]

[Ajige's army marched from the north of Xuanfu and Datong, while Duoduo marched south through Tongguan, attacking from both sides. In the middle, Ye Chen led his troops to attack Shanxi.]

【The three armies are progressing very smoothly.】

【Ajige from the north occupied Yan'an.】

[The southern Qing army fought many battles outside Tongguan with Liu Zongmin, the first general under Li Zicheng. Liu Zongmin fought many battles with the Qing cavalry, but never won a single battle.]

[On the ninth day of the first lunar month in the second year of Shunzhi (1645), the red cannons of the Qing army arrived.]

[Under the bombardment of the Qing army's red cannons, Tongguan fell, and the Qing army rushed directly into the Guanzhong Plain and arrived at the gates of Xi'an seven days later.]

……

Cao Wei.

Shanyang Mansion.

Liu Xie held the fishing rod in his hand, looked at the word Tongguan on the sky, and said to the former Empress Fu, now the Duchess, with a smile:
"What does Tongguan defend against?"

Fu Shou rolled his eyes at him, threw fish food into the pond, and said calmly:

"Things that are rare are valuable."

"The fact that they could use that cannon to bombard Tongguan shows the defensive capability of this pass."

"Don't always use Li Longji's Tongguan to limit all Tongguan defenses."

"Li Longji, that's also a human problem."

"But this cannon..."

"Improving siege capabilities is a necessary condition for the barbarians to settle in China."

As soon as Liu Xie heard this, he knew that Fu Shou was still unwilling to give up.

He smiled indifferently and said:

"Okay, the title of Duke of Shanyang means Duke Wei has no intention of harming you or me."

"As long as we behave ourselves."

"All the uncles have been invited, unless it is the uncle who is blessed with divine power who comes to our place."

"Otherwise... take a break."

Fu Shou looked at Liu Xie, who was fishing calmly, and sighed.

"Well, peace and happiness?"

"It's better than letting the Sima family take advantage of it in the end."

"So, Cao... Duke Wei agrees to abdicate?"

Liu Xie closed his eyes slightly and said quietly:

"Of course, after all, the longer the night, the more dreams one may have..."

……

【Li Zicheng saw that he could not defend Xi'an, so he burned down the palace (Qin Wangfu in the Ming Dynasty), took his family and property out of Lantian, and fled to Shangzhou.】

[Ajige led the Qing army in pursuit, and Li Zicheng was defeated in succession and retreated all the way. ]

[However, in this state of rout, Li Zicheng's army defeated Zuo Liangyu's army of the Ming army, which was said to have 100,000 troops, in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, occupied Wuchang, and prepared to march eastward to capture Nanjing.]

……

Ming Dynasty and Xuande period
Zhu Zhanji didn't know what to say.

Is the combat effectiveness of the remnants of the Ming army so low?

What is new about this, Song Dynasty?
……

[The Qing army continued to pursue, and Li Zicheng's army was defeated in succession and continued to disintegrate.]

[In May of the second year of Shunzhi, Li Zicheng, who led only about 20 men, was killed by armed local villagers in Jiugong Mountain, Hubei.]

……

{This statement comes from the report of Ajige of the Qing army, which said: When Li Zicheng fled to Xi'an, he led 130,000 troops. After conquering Hubei, he also surrendered 70,000 garrisons in Xiangyang, Jingzhou and other places, totaling 200,000.}
{The Qing army defeated Li Zicheng's army eight times along the way. Li Zicheng fled to Jiugong Mountain, and the Qing army searched the mountain to no avail.}
{Later, according to the surrendered soldiers, Li Zicheng hanged himself after being besieged by villagers, but his body was so decomposed that it was unrecognizable.}
{So the Qing army had no definite information about Li Zicheng's whereabouts, they only heard about it.}
{He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang and other regions in the Ming Dynasty, said in his memorial in the first year of the Ming Dynasty Longwu that Li Zicheng led 28 cavalrymen into Jiugong Mountain, encountered an ambush during reconnaissance, and was hacked to death.}
{Zhang Nai, Li Zicheng's godson, followed Li Zicheng into Jiugong Mountain and witnessed Li Zicheng's murder. He then rode to Hunan, surrendered to He Tengjiao, and informed him of Li Zicheng's death.}
{Then the other surrendered generals all said that Li Zicheng was indeed killed by the local villagers. But He Tengjiao did not find Li Zicheng's head, because Hubei had been occupied by the Qing army at that time.}
{Then there is the process of Li Zicheng being killed as described in "Huang Shu" in the early Qing Dynasty. He led 18 riders across Jiugong Mountain. When the mountain folks heard that there were bandits, they went up the mountain together to disperse them. Li Zicheng ran to Niuji Ridge of Xiaoyue Mountain alone, and ran into the mountain folk Cheng Jiubo. The two started a hand-to-hand fight. The two fell into the mud. Li Zicheng sat Cheng Jiubo under him, ready to draw his sword to kill him, but because the sword was stained with blood and mud, he could not pull it out for a while. Cheng Jiubo shouted for help, and his nephew Jin came and beat Li Zicheng to death with a hoe.}
{On July 15, the second year of Shunzhi, after Tong Yanghe, the governor of Jiangxi, Huguang and other eight provinces, took office, he sent people to Tongshan County to investigate and found Cheng Jiubo, who killed Li Zicheng. As a reward, the Qing Dynasty appointed Cheng Jiubo as the experience of De'an Prefecture. There are also relevant records in the "Tongshan County Records" and "De'an Prefecture Records" of Kangxi. }
……

Song Zhenzong period
Zhao Heng took a sip of wine and sneered:
"At this point, it doesn't matter whether Li Zicheng is dead or alive. The Qing army has already destroyed Li Zicheng's main force."

"He is unfamiliar with Jiangnan and can't make much of a splash."

Liu E held her cheek and whispered:
"Li Zicheng was able to rise to power because the north was completely rotten and the people could not survive."

"Although the situation in the south is difficult, it is not a problem to survive. Moreover, there is a Zhang Xianzhong there. Li Zicheng's foundation in the south is very weak."

……

Ming Dynasty - Tianqi Period
"How come they were so unstoppable when they attacked the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Youxiao slammed the imperial desk so hard that it made a loud bang!

"Why are you so vulnerable all of a sudden?"

This makes the Ming Dynasty seem even weaker!

"Fake! It must be fake!"

……

[After eliminating Dashun, Ajige also subdued Zuo Liangyu's army in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. ]

[At that time, Zuo Liangyu had died, and his son Zuo Menggeng led 100,000 cavalry and infantry and 40,000 large and small ships to surrender.]

[Along the way, the Qing army occupied 12 cities in Henan, 39 cities in Hubei, 6 cities in Jiangxi, and 6 cities in Nanzhili, a total of 63 cities.]...

On the canopy.

The word "Dashun" in Henan was swallowed up by "Qing".

Nanjing and other places "Southern Ming" sent troops to attack Sichuan "Zhang Xianzhong"

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate.

The Qing Dynasty suddenly appeared behind Zhang Xianzhong.

……

[After Li Zicheng's death, the remaining rebel leaders were mainly Zhang Xianzhong's troops. ]

[Li Zicheng occupied the north, and Zhang Xianzhong went south from Hanzhong to Sichuan and occupied Chengdu.]

[In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself "Emperor of the Great Western Region" in Chengdu.]

On the canopy.

He has a sturdy build, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a beard.

He rode a warhorse as black as silk, wearing a red brocade robe with a golden dragon pattern over dark iron armor.

One hand held the reins, and the other hand held tightly to a large black flag.

The big flag had a tassel made of snow-white horsehair and a silver flagpole tip that shone white.

In the center of the flag was a huge Chinese character "西" embroidered with yellow satin.

……

[Zhang Xianzhong, the "King of the Great West" who was the same age as Li Zicheng, had a dignified appearance. He was tall, had a tiger chin, and a golden complexion, so he was called "Yellow Tiger".]

[Historical records show that if he did not kill anyone for a day, he would be unhappy.]

[According to the "Ming History·Biography of Zhang Xianzhong", in his Shu territory: "Generals and soldiers were ranked according to the number of people they killed, and the total number of men and women they killed was more than 600 million."]

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Inside Kunning Palace.

Zhu Di frowned and his eyes widened with anger!

"How many?!"

"Six hundred million people? There are six hundred million people in Shu?"

"He wrote ten thousand more words, didn't he?!"

"How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty?"

Empress Xu looked at Zhu Di who was slamming the table anxiously and said slowly:

"It's not 60 million, but the fact that he was singled out for mention shows that he killed a lot of people."

"I just don't know what range of people they killed."

Zhu Di snorted softly.

Do you still expect them to have any far-sighted insights?

Of course, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop!
……

{Regarding whether Zhang Xianzhong actually carried out a massacre in Sichuan, there are many historical studies related to this. This issue has been debated for hundreds of years, and many materials have been debated over and over again. To summarize, there are roughly three types of documentary records that support "Zhang Xianzhong's massacre of Sichuan." }
{The first type is personal records from people who experienced the massacre or their descendants.}
{These people were mostly royal family members, officials, landlords, and powerful people of the Ming Dynasty. Many of their descendants later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.}
{The second type is the material that describes in detail Zhang Xianzhong's indiscriminate massacre in Sichuan.}
{For example, the most detailed record of Zhang Xianzhong's massacre of Sichuan is "Sui Kou Jilue"}
{However, its author Wu Weiye had never been to Sichuan, and wrote it based on a book called "Lu Qiao Wild History" whose origin is unknown.}
{In addition to "Sui Kou Jilue", another important reference is Mao Qiling's "Hou Jianlu". }
{Mao Qiling was an important compiler of the "History of Ming Dynasty". The "story" of Concubine Wan causing abortions in the harem of Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty was written by him in the "History of Ming Dynasty".}
{The third type of material is the records of foreign missionaries. The records of Zhang Xianzhong's massacre of Sichuan are concentrated in the book "Records of the Holy Religion Entering Sichuan".}
……

Ming Dynasty: Xianzong Period
Zhu Jianshen's face turned dark.

When talking about Shu, let’s talk about Shu!
What's the matter with abortion or not? How can such a rubbish be thrown on me?
What's wrong with me loving Zhen'er?
Why does the whole world want to go against me?
"It's all bullshit!"

Zhu Jianshen completely denied the history book compiled by this person by using some points as an example.

"He must be talking nonsense!"

Wan Zhen'er didn't care.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. Why would you care what others say after you die?

Why worry?

……

[In the first year of the Hongguang reign of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the second year of the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1646), the Southern Ming army counterattacked and occupied eastern and central Sichuan. Zhang Xianzhong led his army northward in July of the following year.]

[On November 1647, , the Qing general Jingyuan and Prince Su Haoge led his army to Nanbu County in northern Sichuan and found Zhang Xianzhong in Xichong County. He then sent out elite cavalry to march miles in one day and night and arrived at Fenghuang Mountain in Xichong County at dawn the next day.]

【According to the records of the missionaries Li Lisi and An Wensi in "The Record of the Holy Religion Entering Sichuan".】

[When the two missionaries were about to meet Zhang Xianzhong, a scout came running to report that there were four or five Qing cavalrymen on the high mountain in front of the camp.]

[Zhang Xianzhong was furious when he heard this, thinking that the scout was talking nonsense and that the Qing troops could not possibly arrive so quickly, so he chopped off the scout's head.]

[Then they went to interrogate the wife of an official who had escaped the day before, which delayed them for half an hour. By then, a large group of Qing troops had already arrived behind the mountain opposite the barracks.]

[Afterwards, another scout reported that the Qing cavalry appeared on the opposite mountain. Zhang Xianzhong still didn't believe it, so he rode out on horseback with seven or eight soldiers and a eunuch, without wearing armor or carrying a spear.]

[Just when he was looking around on a small hill, an arrow suddenly flew in from the left side and shot into Zhang Xianzhong's shoulder, piercing his heart.]

【Zhang Xianzhong immediately fell to the ground, blood gushed out, and he died in agony.】

[The Qing cavalry immediately began to hunt and kill, beheading tens of thousands of people.]

……

Great Sui.

He brought the cup to his mouth and just as he took a sip of water, he was choked by what he saw!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Yang Jian coughed and beat his chest, his face flushed red as he said:

"Ahem! Is this true? Ahem!"

"Isn't that too hasty?!"

Dugu Jialuo held up his chin and said leisurely:
"It may not be true, but the person is definitely dead."

"According to the authenticity of the historical books displayed in the sky curtain, the more details, the more false it is."

……

【Zhang Xianzhong died, the Dashi Army was defeated and fled to Yunnan, and Hauge took advantage of the victory to occupy Chengdu. 】

【Then, Hauge led his troops southward, was defeated by Yang Zhan and others, and retreated northward to Shaanxi. Yang Zhan recaptured Chengdu. 】

[Not long after, the Qing army attacked Chengdu again. Yang Zhan thought Chengdu was not worth defending and took the initiative to withdraw.]

[The Qing army occupied Chengdu again. After this occupation, the Qing army thought that there were only a few thousand people in the city and the entire city was in ruins, so it was not worth occupying, so they decided to withdraw to Mianyang.]

【Chengdu was the political and economic center of Sichuan. Its population should have been over 200 million at the end of the Ming Dynasty. When the Qing army occupied it for the second time, only a few thousand people were left.】

【On May 14 last year, Duoduo had already led the Qing army to Nanjing.】

[Nanjing surrendered without a fight, and almost all the nobles and important officials of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Twenty-three generals and nearly 240,000 cavalry and infantry surrendered.]

[The Southern Ming regime retreated to a remote location and eventually perished completely amidst factional struggles and foreign enemies.]

[The Qing Dynasty unified the country in the 1660th year of Shunzhi (). ]
