Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 277 Yan Qiheng Envoy Daxi
Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng were the two largest refugee armed forces that arose during the reign of Chongzhen. Li Zicheng founded Dashun in Xi'an, while Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu on November 17 in the [-]th year of Chongzhen, and his country was named "Daxi". , changed the Yuan to "Dashun", and took Chengdu as Xijing.

After the establishment of the Daxi regime, there were left and right prime ministers, six ministers and other civil and military officials.He ordered "Wang Zhaolin to be the prime minister of the left, and Yan Xi to be the prime minister of the right".

The Daxi regime promulgated the "Tongtian Calendar", set up money bureaus to cast "Dashun Tongbao", opened courses to recruit scholars, and served as officials in counties and counties, managed Sichuan politically and economically, so as to have a national form, and transform from thieves In order to separatist regime.

After the founding of Daxi, it announced "amnesty for the border three-year rent tax", and the Daxi Army also had strict orders. His military discipline is much better than that of some Ming Dynasty warlords.

In the Great Western Army, the ratio of cavalry to infantry is "three horses with seven steps", and the main force "everyone has fine cavalry or straddles two horses". .Wherever he went, mules and horses were the most valued among the spoils of war captured, and the others were ignored.

It can be seen from this that the combat power of the Daxi Army is also very extraordinary, which is one of the reasons why Wang Yan is eager to contact Zhang Xianzhong.

At the beginning of the establishment of any regime, it is mostly in a state of prosperity, and the same is true at the beginning of the establishment of the Onishi regime.

People in later generations often heard rumors of Zhang Xianzhong slaughtering Chuan, but in the author's opinion, this did not match the vigor that a new regime should have, and it was basically unbelievable.

China has a tradition of writing and compiling history, but most of them are based on current dynasties and revising previous dynasties, which is full of moisture.

In the author's opinion, since Tang Taizong made a bad start, the so-called official history cannot be fully believed. Taizong just said good things for himself, making future generations feel that he was the one who made the country, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji wanted to harm him. He launched the Xuanwumen Change because of his own will, but the rulers of later generations did not just change it a little bit. By the Qing Dynasty, the history books were basically unreadable.

Why did the Qing court revise the Siku Quanshu?It is to delete and rewrite all the things in the world that are not good for the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Xianzhong is just a person who takes the blame.

In the fourth year of Yongzheng, the scholar Zha Siting was appointed as the official examiner of Jiangxi Township Examination.

The general idea is that the vast land of the country is inhabited and lived by the people, and it means loving the people.

This topic is completely in line with the Confucian norms, so there is no problem, but after Yongzheng heard about it, he felt that the word "Weizhi" was the word "Yongzheng" with the head removed. Isn't this trying to kill his own head?
Seeing this and that, Yongzheng hastily ordered Zha Siting to be arrested, cut in half, and all the clansmen were exiled.

Another incident happened during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. When the rebellion of the Hui tribe was suppressed, Qianlong held wine to celebrate the victory. A Han official saw the defeat of the Qing army and the Hui tribe. Huma Duyin Mountain!"

The banquet in the tent was originally a lively atmosphere, but after hearing him recite these two sentences, it immediately cooled down, and Qianlong's face was even worse.

If you don't teach Huma to go to the Yin Mountains, isn't the Qing Dynasty just Huma?

Only then did Hanchen come to his senses, he quickly knelt down, put the official hat aside, and knocked his forehead until his forehead was ruptured and blood flowed all over his face, so he was spared.

Fortunately, this poem was not written by him, otherwise he would have died. However, even if he did not die, he would be negatively regarded by the people and never be employed.

When Qianlong was in power, the Qing court had ruled China for nearly a hundred years, but the rulers of the Qing court still looked like this. It was not uncommon for them to tamper with historical facts in the early Qing Dynasty.

In addition, there are countless such things as "Qingfeng is illiterate", and the Manchu and Qing literary inquisitions are so prosperous that there is no room for any unfavorable words against the Qing court. Can the history books they write be trusted?

The very fierce Seven Kills Monument that was passed down before, "Everything is born with man, and man has nothing with the sky, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill", but now Zhang Xianzhong's sacred stele has been dug out, the Seven Killing Monument It is also believed to be a rumor, but it is actually "the sky has all things and people, and people have nothing to do with the sky. Ghosts and gods are clear, and they think about themselves."

In fact, as long as you think about it carefully, can a character like Zhang Xianzhong be as stupid as Tu Chuan?Why did he transfer from Huguang to Sichuan?Get the foundation of becoming an emperor, can he be so stupid as Tu Chuan?

Zhang Xianzhong died in battle at the end of the third year of Shunzhi, and the Qing soldiers captured Yuzhou in the 16th year of Shunzhi. In addition, Liu Wenxiu also visited Sichuan several times. In combat, if Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered Chuan, then the Qing soldiers could only fight ghosts.

During the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan had a population of over ten million. By the 19th year of Shunzhi, the population was only over 9. Did the Great Western Army kill people?They must be killed, because of the characteristics of the peasant army, they must kill the landlords and nobles. You can refer to this dynasty for this point, but it is nonsense to talk about Tu Chuan.

There are 120 battalions of Daxi soldiers and more than 20 people. You can know how many people you need to support them.

Zhang Xianzhong established Daxi at the end of Chongzhen's 17th year. Now it is June of the second year of Longwu. He has been operating Shu for nearly two years, and Shu is basically settled.

Sichuan is a land of abundance. Because of it, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty became an emperor, and the Shu Han became a triumvirate. Zhang Xianzhong won this place, so he naturally wanted to make progress again. His first goal was Hanzhong in the north, so he said to his subordinates: "Since the Three Kingdoms , Hanzhong originally belonged to Sichuan, and now I set my capital in Sichuan. If I don’t take Hanzhong, it’s inevitable that others will look forward to Shu? I heard that King Chuang sent horses to guard Hanzhong. also."

In the first year of Hongguang, in June, Zhang Xianzhong sent a large army northward to attack Hanzhong, but unfortunately he was defeated by He Zhen, who surrendered to the Qing court at that time.

Yan Qiheng held the messenger's scepter, and when he appeared in Jiange, Zhang Xianzhong was in Zitong, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring it.

During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian went on an envoy to the Western Regions with a scepter, and Su Wu took the scepter to shepherd the sheep. The scepter represented by the Han envoy went deep into the hearts of the countries in the Western Regions.

The countries in the Western Regions and the Huns in the north saw the majestic Han envoys holding scepters, and they admired them in their hearts, so they learned from the past and regarded the scepter as a symbol of power.

After that, the Han expelled the Xiongnu to Mobei, and the northern Huns moved westward to meet Europeans. The scepter was also brought to Europe and gradually evolved into a scepter.

In ancient times, Han envoys held scepters and were extremely majestic, but Yan Qiheng was not treated like the ancient Han envoys. He was almost pushed to Zitong by soldiers.

At this moment, Yan Qiheng was standing outside Zhang Xianzhong's walking shaft. He was brought to the front of the shaft by the soldiers, and he saw two rows of elite and tall Daxi soldiers, standing on both sides, with long knives intersecting in their hands, blocking him fiercely.
