Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

581. The battle of destroying Qing Dynasty

On August 14, the 24th year of Huaxia Wucheng, the news that the Shence Army and the Sixth Division of the Xuanwu Army captured Beijing and Tianjin respectively reached the imperial court, which once again aroused the ecstasy of the besieging Xia Army, but as far as Zheng Kezang himself was concerned, he did not It is believed that Kangxi has not yet fled Beijing, and the so-called encirclement of Kangxi in the imperial city is just wishful thinking of the commander in front.

Of course, even if Kangxi had not been captured, the Qing court would have been completely finished. Not only had its rule in Guanzhong collapsed, but even Guandong and Datong had enough troops. In front of it, it only depends on how much Huaxia can harvest before the snow falls.

Therefore, Zheng Kezang once again issued an order to adjust the previous subordinates. Except for the five divisions that had been arranged to return to defense and the 13 people who surrounded Anyang, the rest of the Xia army will be divided into four groups: the first five divisions will be led by Chen Baoquan. Jin, together with the Yin Long tribe in Jin, will attack Lu'an, Taiyuan and other cities, completely wipe out the Qing army in Shanxi, and then attack Yanmenguan in the north; the eight divisions of the second route led by Tang Baoyi enter Qingyanmen Province through Puyinxing, and regain Datong and other places; led by Yang Bokang, the five divisions of the Third Route and the [-] regiments of the Shence Army's headquarters went out of Yuguan and took the Daning Corridor to attack outside the pass, striving to work together with the Liaodong General Soldier Huang Tao's Department to recover Fengtian and other places, and winter came The front line extends to the south of the Nen River and the Songhua River; the two cavalry divisions of the Fourth Route, commanded by Kuching, depart from Xuanhua to deter Monan Mongolia with force, forcing its ministries to either abandon their pastures and flee to foreign lands or return to China. .

In addition to the above-mentioned four-way army, Zheng Kezang also left six divisions to maintain law and order in Hebei, Shandong, Zhili and other places, wipe out the scattered Qing soldiers and local bandits, and maintain the grain transportation along the way; the remaining seven divisions were composed of He Shuzhi commanded and stationed in Beijing, continued to surround the imperial city and put Beijing under military control, and at the same time began to identify and dispose of bannermen and Han officials in Beijing.

It was a waste of food to stay. The North Korean army opened Tianjin immediately, and then transported it back to the country. Returning to their respective countries, they will also be given a silver and copper medal for the Northern Expedition, and a number of silver crowns; the Japanese mercenaries in the Shence Army who are still fighting are told that they will share the land in various parts of Nanyang according to their final credit, and the military officer Xia will fight. post-unification theory[

On August 25, Zheng Kezang made the final decision on the 11 captured Qing troops, except for the Qing army who had over [-] daimyos and the [-] Qing army prisoners who had previously escorted the southern mines. They were all escorted to work in mines all over the country to death; on the same day, Zheng Kezang made a verdict against the bannermen and Han officials in Beijing, and all of them were sold as slaves to plantation owners in various places in Southeast Asia, and the proceeds were used to offset military expenses; A ruling was made to punish the crime of treason. Except for the few proprietors and shopkeepers who voluntarily helped Xia in the early stage and were only sentenced to confiscation of property, the rest of the proprietors and shopkeepers in various places were sent to all provinces and governments to be executed publicly and late to serve as an example.

On August 26, Zheng Kezang issued an edict to change Hebei Province to southern Hebei and other places, Zhili Province to northern Hebei and other places, and changed Beijing to Youzhou Liushoufu; on the same day, Zheng Kezang issued an edict to adjust The administrative divisions of each province, among them, Jiaozhou Zhili Prefecture was changed to Xuhai Province, Kaifeng Prefecture was changed to Zhongzhou Province; Xuhai and other places were renamed Haixi and other places, and Zhili Prefecture of Haizhou was promoted to Haizhou Prefecture, which was the provincial government of Haixi Province ; Tongzhou Zhili Prefecture was promoted to Tongzhou Prefecture, which was changed to Jiangnan Province; Bozhou Zhili Prefecture was placed under Jianghuai Prefecture together with Huai'an Prefecture; Huai'an and Xuzhou were assigned to Suqian Zhili Prefecture and belonged to Haixi Province; Daming Prefecture was changed to subordinate Shandong Province; resettled Zhili Prefecture in Jingmen, Huguang, Zhili Prefecture in Jingzhou, Hunan, and Zhili Prefecture in Luoding, Guangdong; moved Zhangzhou to Zhili Prefecture in Xiamen; moved Jizhou Zhili Prefecture to Nangong, renamed Nangong Zhili Prefecture, And lowered Jizhou to Jixian County

On August 27, Zheng Kezang ordered the investigation of Huangzhuang under the name of the Qing government's internal affairs office, Wangzhuang under the name of the palaces, and all Manchu assets, and wanted to arrest Baoyi, Zhuangtou, and shopkeepers who served the Manchus.

After doing all this, Zheng Kezang left the front line of Zhangde and drove to Jinan for inspection.The reason why Zheng Kezang did not go to Beijing immediately was because he had just issued an order for the final disposal of the residents in the city. According to this order, the ancient capital of the Ming and Qing Dynasties once had a population of nearly one million and at least [-]% of the people were missing. In addition to keeping an eye on the remnants of the Qing army in the imperial city, he, the emperor, naturally couldn't go over and add to the "chaos".

However, before they reached Dongchang, bad news came from Wuchang. Concubine Hui Xie Ziling, the mother of the eldest son of the emperor, Zheng Andi, died suddenly of illness.

When the news came, Zheng Kezang suddenly became somewhat suspicious, but at this time the Northern Expedition was victorious, of course he couldn't mess with his own hands, so he sent a regiment of imperial guards to escort Zheng Andi back to Wuchang for the funeral. At the same time, it was announced that Lin Heng, the cabinet counselor, presided over the ceremony and secretly watched over Zheng Andi's personal safety.

After doing all this, Zheng Kezang continued to Jinan.However, the spring city that appeared in front of Zheng Kezang has changed beyond recognition.The fire that Yinzhi set off before his departure caused two-thirds of the buildings in the city to be reduced to rubble, and tens of thousands of people were displaced as a result.

After visiting the horrific Jinan victims, Zheng Kezang became more determined in his handling of the Manchus. However, in order to divide the Manchus so that the military operations of the Xia Army's northward march to the Kanto could proceed smoothly, he also announced that those who would not confront the Xia Army in Xibo, Oroqen, Daganer, Sauron, Ewenki, Hezhe, Qileer, Feiyaka, Qiyakala (Chakara) and other tribes may not be regarded as members of the Eight Banners, even if the tribe has been compiled as Bubu Teha (beating animals) Eight Banners.

On September [-], Xuanhua and Zhangjiakou were recovered for Kuching; on the same day, Yang Bokang entered Yongping and captured more than ten shares of about [-] Manchus who were too late to escape. Driven to the front line of Shanhaiguan.

On September [-], Zheng Kezang went north and entered Dezhou; on the same day, the Tang Baoyi Department captured Guangling, and the Kuching Department entered Zhangbei.

On September 5000, part of the Shence Army marched into Zunhua, and around Shen time that day, the vanguard of Yang Bokang's troops drove the new attached army, which was further expanded to [-] people, to Yuguan.There were less than [-] Qing troops guarding Shanhaiguan Pass. When they saw Xia Jun approaching, they immediately abandoned the pass and fled. Xia Jun soldiers took control of the world's number one pass without bloodshed.

On September [-], Zheng Kezang and his party arrived in Cangzhou.On this day, good news came from Shanxi. The Lu'an garrison learned that there was a turmoil after the fall of the Qing court. Luo Baosu and more than [-] Manchu and Han generals below Qilu guarding the red flag of Manchuria surrendered in Kaesong. As a result, southeast Shanxi was pacified, and Taiyuan was the only place in Shanxi that was still stubbornly resisting.

On September [-], the forward of the third division of the Xia Army's Habayashi Army arrived in Chengde. The Yellow Sect lamas who were praying for the Qing emperor in various temples outside Chengde City had to temporarily change their gates, vying to show their loyalty to the commander of the Xia Army. Relying on the vigorous propaganda of these lamas, the vicinity of Chengde quickly settled down.

On September [-], after repeated discussions, Zheng Kezang issued a decree to formally establish the positions of military capital commander and deputy capital commander above the divisional commander. In order to be a second-rank deputy general, but the two positions are only honorary titles, not real positions, and are used to arrange senior military officers who serve as the chief soldier and deputy chief soldier.

Subsequently, Zheng Kezang further announced that he would formally set up the positions of subordinates of the battalion capital and deputy capital of the camp above the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, so as to facilitate the command of garrisons in one province or several provinces in remote provinces outside the central area.Although the subordinates of the capital and the subordinates of the capital are permanent commanders of the large military region, they do not manage civil affairs, and have no power to supervise and command the provinces below the governor, let alone financial power. system, only the non-permanent Minister of Economy and Strategy has the right to coordinate and supervise the administrative affairs of several provinces

On September [-], Zheng Kezang's frame arrived in Tianjin.At the beginning of his stay in the Tianjin Zongbing Yamen, he announced the appointment of the first batch of subordinates and deputy capitals, namely Jin Yanzhi as the deputy capital of Xuyongdu in Yunnan, Su Boping as the deputy capital of Guizhou and Guangxi, and the deputy capital of Guangnan Beiliao. The subordinate Liushaoyang and Ganshanshuo provinces are all subordinate to Gu Kai.

After arriving in Tianjin, Zheng Kezang unexpectedly disregarded the strange situation in Beijing. Instead, he took the time to inspect the river works of the Haihe River, and said something shocking and unusual beside the embankment of the river: "If we say, I regard Tianjin as a What do you think about Huaxia Beijing's words?"

"Your Majesty means to move the capital?" After a group of ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, the founding Duke of Deyang, Prince Shaoshi, Doctor Guanglu, Tejin, former Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Minister of Buteyuan, and Marquis of Yuzhang County Zheng Yingping opened the mouth. "The Northland has just been pacified. Such a big project may cause turmoil."

Zheng Kezang said with a smile: "I am not going to conscript people's power, how could it cause turmoil in the North."

The Duke of Jianguo, Doctor Zide, Tejin, Minister of Bute Court, and Chen Shengwu of Jianyang County nodded knowingly: "What the Holy Majesty said is very true, hundreds of thousands of Jianlu will not be able to be transported to the south for sale in a short time, how about First use it on the construction site in Tianjin, not to waste food but also sharpen your temper, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

All the people present had fought against the Qing army for decades, and no one had relatives or friends who died in the hands of the Qing army. Therefore, the hatred for the Manchus was unforgettable. Naturally, no one would treat the labored bannermen and traitors 』There were any objections, but one by one applauded: "It makes sense, the Holy One has a far-sighted vision, and the ministers are not as good as you."

"Okay, there's no need to shoot flattery." Zheng Kezang asked again. "Your Majesty, let's discuss the pros and cons of moving the capital to Tianjin."

Now that he knew that there was no need to confiscate people's power, Zheng Yingping made an evaluation of the opposing capital Tianjin from the perspective of a member of the Zheng family: "This dynasty is based on the sea. Although Wuchang controls the nine surrounding provinces, it is indeed a bit inland. It is not as good as Tianjin. The sea is convenient. Moreover, Tianjin is adjacent to Youzhou Prefecture, which is also convenient for the control of Mongolia and Liaodong. It is a great choice for the Holy Majesty to choose this place as the capital."

Feng Hui objected: "Jianlu is about to fall, and Mongolia will only lose sincerity. At this time, Zhungeer is my confidant's confidant. Isn't Tianjin, the capital, too remote? Why not?" Wuchang is good”
