Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1203 The Qing Dynasty is almost over

After Wang Yan returned to Luoyang, he first issued a decree in the name of the regent of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Chu, to appease the whole territory of Henan, ordering officials from all over the country to continue to deal with the government affairs of the states and counties, resume production, and abolish the Manchu system before the officials of the court came to hand over. Fu Han family clothes.

Then he ordered the cabinet to quickly select officials from the three divisions of Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, and Beizhi, and quickly recruit cadres to Henan to prepare for the relief of the victims and restore the Ming Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains.

When the news spread to Nanjing, the whole court rejoiced, thinking that this was a ZTE battle to fix the Central Plains and restore Shenjing.The imperial court was full of joy, the morale of Nanjing and the people's hearts were also greatly encouraged, and the whole city was as happy as a festival.

All over the place, officials who learned of the great victory of the Northern Expedition also expressed their congratulations one after another, praising the King of Chu, making him His Highness the King of Chu as ZTE No. 1.

At this time, the statistics of the Central Plains Campaign have also come out. From the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army to the end of the battle, on the Heluo battlefield, the Ming Army beheaded a total of more than 3 people and captured more than 1000 enemies. There were only more than [-] Jin and Green troops. Fleeing into Tongguan, there are still more than [-] full soldiers who fled to the north bank of the Yellow River.

Among the floating army, the Green Camp and the Han Banner accounted for more than 6% of them, with more than 3 people, followed by the Mongols, with nearly 2000 people, and the Jin Army also had more than [-] people. The least was the Eight Banners. Because they were standing by the river, most of them were squeezed into the river. There were less than [-] people captured by the Ming army.

Apart from the captives, the biggest gain of the Ming army could only be counted as nearly [-] war horses.

Historically, in the Central Plains dynasty, war horses were essential to conquer the grasslands. Whether it was the Zhao State Hufu riding and shooting, or the Han attacking the Huns, they all rode on horseback. The Ming Dynasty obtained so many war horses to extend its power to the future. Prairie, made the necessary preparations.

The gains in terms of money mainly came from the palaces of Shang Kexi and Kong Youde, but the treasury of the Manchu Qing in Henan was clean and tidy. The grain they confiscated was less than 500 shi, and the silver taels less than [-] taels.

The Ming army confiscated more than three million taels of property from Shang Kexi and Kong Youde's mansion, including many calligraphy and paintings, antiques, land properties, and houses that cannot be estimated. It can be said that the two thieves have been in Henan for ten years, and almost every year. There are more than three hundred thousand taels.

On April [-]th, Wang Yan ordered that the stolen funds be placed in front of the yamen of the bureau, so that the people of Luoyang City could see them. The white silver and golden gold shocked the people greatly.

Of course, it is impossible to return the money to the people in Henan, but Wang Yan issued a decree declaring that Henan would be exempted from taxation for one year.

The next day, Wang Yan, with his wartime privileges, ordered to kill 530 members of Shang Kexi and Kong Youde's family in West City, Luoyang.

On the day of the execution, tens of thousands of people watched and applauded.

When dealing with Henan's internal affairs, Wang Yan did not stop his military deployment. Dai Zhifan was transferred out of Henan and would cross the Yellow River and go north to Zhili. Go north and enter Shanxi, go to Pujin Pass to threaten Guanzhong, and go to Taiyuan to solve the siege of Taiyuan.

At this time, the influence of the Central Plains War soon became apparent.

Because of the defeat of the Jin-Qing coalition forces, the main force of the Qing army was almost completely wiped out, shaking the northern kingdom, so the Qing army was unable to guard the front line of the Yellow River.

In late April, Dai Zhifan built a pontoon bridge in Rongze to cross the Yellow River. Wherever the army passed, the prefectures and counties along the way watched the wind and descended.

In just over ten days, by the beginning of May, more than ten prefectures and counties, including Yanjin, Xinxiang, Fengqiu, Yangwu, Weihui, Hongxian, and Neihuang, all surrendered to Dai Zhifan, and the Ming army entered the southern part of Northern Zhili.

Daming Mansion, an important town in Hebei, had less than 2000 defenders. In order to pass resistance, they directly surrendered to the Ming army, which made the Ming army open the passage to Beijing.

However, due to the rapid progress of the Ming army, the logistics of the Ming army could not keep up with the recovery of Shandong and Henan in March. Therefore, Dai Zhifan's army was short of food, and the army temporarily stopped at Daming Mansion.

When Dai Zhifan marched into Hebei, another small incident happened. People in Fengqiu found a simple coffin by the Yellow River and sent it to the local government.

Although the corpse was already swollen, Fengqiu's descendant judged from the clothes that the corpse was Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty.The current officials did not dare to be negligent, and while having the corpse pickled, they quickly reported it to Dai Zhifan, who was in the army in Hebei, and Dai Zhifan reported it to Wang Yan.

When Wang Yan got the news, he immediately sent someone to deal with it properly. After the recovery of Beijing, he would flog Dorgon's corpse to pay homage to Emperor Anzong who was killed by him.

Li Guo commanded his troops to advance westward, and the movement was also smooth. The army took back Mianchi, Hongnongwei, Lingbao, Zhuyangguan and other places one after another without any effort, and the soldiers pointed directly at Tongguan.

At this time, the Jin army who fled all the way into Guanzhong had already recovered, because the strategic position of Tongguan was extremely important. Once Tongguan was lost, the gate of Guanzhong would be wide open, and Chang'an, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, would be under the vanguard of the Ming army.

Meng Qiaofang was well aware of the importance of Tongguan, so she ordered Tang Tong, the guard of Tongguan, to strengthen the defense, and at the same time sent the defeated troops to Lintong to rest and recuperate. 3 elite soldiers from Chang'an were dispatched to Tongguan to assist in the defense, bringing the guarding force to [-].

Li Guo tried to attack Tongguan twice, but was repelled by the Jin army. The Ming army's westward advance was restrained by the Jin army, and the Jin country temporarily stabilized its position.

On the other side, Liu Fangliang and Li Dingguo entered the south of Shanxi, and the people of the three Jins who had just been massacred by the Qing army were simply eating pots of milk to welcome the king's teacher.

After Jiang Xiang rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the gentry in southern Shanxi quickly launched an uprising in response to Jiang Xiang's uprising because they were dissatisfied with the excessive expropriation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The rebels who revolted in southern Shanxi, large and small, consisted of dozens of teams.These troops mainly followed the command of Jiang Xiang's general Gao Ding, and successively stopped the Qing army from advancing to Taiyuan in Jincheng, Gaoping, and Lu'an.

Because the Qing army was strong in southern Shanxi, the cities defended by the rebels were successively breached by the Qing army. Kong Youde even slaughtered several cities. Either they were forced to surrender, or they turned to guerrilla warfare in the mountains and forests.

All of a sudden, many rebels who originally claimed to be in the tens of thousands were either wiped out or hid in the mountains without news.

When the situation in southern Shanxi deteriorated, some volunteers from southern Jin asked for help from the Ming Dynasty and wrote a letter to Wang Yan saying, "There are millions of people in Jin, and they all fly the Ming flag. May the king cross the Yellow River as soon as possible and recover the three Jins."

During the Great War in the Central Plains, the main force of the Qing army went south to Henan, and the rebels came out from the mountains and forests to fight against the Qing army. However, because of the massacre of the Qing army in Shanxi, the people did not dare to support the rebels, so their situation was still very difficult.

Now that the Ming army has entered Shanxi, when the volunteers from all over the country got the news, they all wept with gratitude and wept with joy.

The Ming army had just arrived in Jincheng, and almost all the prefectures and counties in Shanxi that had been pacified by the Qing army rebelled.

After the Qing army pacified Shanxi, they re-appointed many local officials. Not long after they took office, news of the Central Plains defeat came from the south.

The Jin army who besieged Jiang Xiang under the city of Taiyuan soon got the result of the Central Plains campaign, and Hauge withdrew his camp overnight to Taiyuan.

He didn't dare to go south to Pujin Pass, but went west to cross the river with Wubao army, and fled into Suide, Shaanxi in a hurry.

At the end of April, after Lou Qin fled back to Beijing, the Manchus in Beijing were mourning, and pessimism spread in the city.

After Xuanda and Nikan got the news, they immediately led 3 people back to Juyongguan, preparing to return to Beijing in a hurry. However, after figuring out the situation, the [-] Mongols actually rebelled halfway, killed more than a thousand Qing troops, and snatched Nikan. The food, grass and supplies, as well as silver coins and iron utensils, directly separated from the Qing army and returned north to the grassland.

The relationship between the Manchus and the Mongols is not complete affiliation. To a certain extent, they actually belong to a cooperative alliance.

Although the Manchus defeated the Mongols, judging from the close marriage between the Manchus and the Mongolians, the Manchus did not rely entirely on force to deter the Mongols, but more to win them over with benefits.

This kind of relationship, when the Qing Dynasty is flourishing, the two parties will naturally live in harmony. However, in recent years, the Qing Dynasty has not benefited much from Mongolia. There are fewer and fewer, which makes Mongolia a little dissatisfied.

There was a rift between the Manchus and the Mongolians. Fortunately, there was Dorgon in the Qing Dynasty, and the remaining power of the Qing army to wipe out Lindan Khan was still there. In addition, Daishan defeated Zhungeer and compensated the surrendered Mongolian tribes for a lot of things, so the relationship Only then was it maintained.

However, the results of the Central Plains war came, and the majesty of the Manchus was completely lost. Seeing that the country was about to perish, they naturally had no deterrent power against the Mongols. In addition, the Central Plains were lost, and Hebei would not be guaranteed. The Mongols could not gain anything from the Manchus. The good thing is to beware of the liquidation of the Ming Dynasty. The foundation of the Manmeng family is no longer there.

Now Manqing is a wrecked ship, which may capsize at any time. It can be said that the Mongols jumped ashore without hesitation. They wanted to put aside their relationship with Manqing and decided to return to the grassland.

At the beginning of May, Nikan returned to Beijing with less than 1 people. So far, except for 3000 to [-] people outside the customs, all the forces of the Qing Dynasty were concentrated in Beijing.

There are only 5000 soldiers and horses in the city, of which less than [-] are full of soldiers, and the rest are the Han army and a very small part of the Mongolian Eight Banners.

At this time, Prince Yu Duo Duo, who had been ill for many days, finally ended his sinful life under a double blow after learning that Dorgon and Doni had died in the defeated army.

The generation of the old slaves of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the generation of Huang Taiji finally all died out. Emperor Shunzhi, who was just sixteen, took over the regime of the Manchu Qing Dynasty under such circumstances.

This moment is the moment that Fulin Chaosi thought about, but he didn't want to complete the pro-government under such circumstances.

What made him even more unexpected was that the first political discussion after he took office was to discuss his abdication for peace and withdrawal from Beijing.

For Fulin, this is simply a great irony...
