Chapter 567 564 [Civil Strife and Uprising]
Shenyang, Hou Zhai.
Feng Quan whispered: "Mr. Ruogu, all the officials from top to bottom of the Qing Dynasty and the Han Dynasty are waiting for you to make your decision!"
"What ideas can I make?" Hou Xun asked.
"The world has been owned by the Han people since ancient times. How can any barbarian be able to hold the position of god for a long time? No matter how powerful the Mongolian and Yuan armies are, they are still dissatisfied with the fate of the country for a hundred years. The Jurchen Tatar slaves dare to found a country and proclaim themselves emperor in a corner," Feng Quan said indignantly, "This is special This ridiculous thing makes people and gods angry. We Confucian scholars read the books of sages and know the way of saints. Before we surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, we were in the Cao camp but our hearts were in the Han Dynasty. Now we should rise up secretly to welcome the heavenly soldiers!"
Hou Xun sarcastically said: "You seem to be the one who instigated Dorgon to issue the hair-cutting order, right?"
"That was what Sun Zhixian did and it has nothing to do with me." Feng Quan refused to admit it.
Hou Xun added: "During the Central Plains War, you were the one who recruited Zuo Liangyu to surrender for the Tatars, right?"
Feng Quan shook his head repeatedly: "I was ordered to go as an envoy just to gain the trust of the Tatars in order to facilitate the uprising in Shenyang today."
Hou Xun sighed: "You are trying to kill me!"
"Why did Mr. Sir say that?" Feng Quan asked puzzledly, "Mr.'s brothers, nephews, and nephews all served as officials in the new Datong Dynasty. If Mr. Sir started an uprising against the Qing Dynasty in Shenyang and echoed the people of his clan, wouldn't he be a loyal minister of our Datong court? This must be the case. For a good story!”
"Oh, I should have escaped earlier and not come across you idiots." Hou Xun looked frustrated.
Feng Quan was about to say more when a sudden noise came from the street, and then the house became lively.
Xindali, a North Korean national, led the firearms battalion of the Manchurian Internal Affairs Bureau, rushed into the house and started arresting people.
Feng Quan was horrified and shouted quickly: "I am the regent's man. Without the regent's order, you slaves are not allowed to arrest me!"
"I'm here on the emperor's order. Is the regent better than your majesty?" Xin Dali smiled scornfully, "Hold the prison tightly and torture him. We must make him confess his accomplices!"
The traitors of this generation were mainly senior civil servants and wealthy gentry.
The second-generation traitors are mainly high-ranking military generals.
Most of the three generations of traitors were middle- and high-level civil servants, including many of Dorgon's cronies promoted by him.
Nowadays, the second generation of traitors are fighting outside and being defeated. One generation of traitors took the opportunity to attack the third generation of traitors, and from then on they were able to take sole control of internal affairs.
Queen Mother Bumubutai has obviously joined forces with Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo to seize power!
In order to win over the nobles of the Eight Banners, Dorgon continued to erode the interests of the two yellow banners and distributed them to the other six banners. The Queen Mother was very unhappy and even feared that her son would be deposed. Now she finally took advantage of the opportunity.
When Dorgon returns to Shenyang, he will find that all his close civil servants have been imprisoned and tortured. They have all committed the serious crime of treason with the Nanjing court!
…
royal palace.
Shi Tingzhu roared anxiously: "Hurry up and report, I want to see the Queen Mother immediately!"
Shi Tingzhu comes from the Guarjia family. As early as two hundred years ago, his ancestor served as a border general in the Ming Dynasty and changed his surname to "Shi" from then on. He previously commanded the Han Army with a red flag, but now he was assigned to the Han Army with a white flag, automatically becoming Dorgon's direct henchman.
Dorgon left Shi Tingzhu in Shenyang to prevent chaos in the rear.
But Queen Mother Dayu'er acted too quickly, and Shi Tingzhu didn't dare to use troops, so he could only bite the bullet and come to see him.
"The Queen Mother has an edict, Xuan Shi Tingzhu appears!" the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.
Shi Tingzhu followed the eunuch in. Da Yu'er was holding seven-year-old Fulin and sitting on top with a serious expression. On the lower side, there are Han ministers sitting on the left and right. They are undoubtedly Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo.
"Shi Tingzhu, please bow to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!" Shi Tingzhu immediately knelt down.
Fan Wencheng sneered: "Don't you call yourself a slave when you meet His Majesty? General Shi is also a bit too outsider."
Ning Wanwo said in a strange tone, "It's also possible that General Shi's master is not His Majesty."
Shi Tingzhu felt his scalp numb. This was forcing him to take sides.
Shi Tingzhu bravely said: "Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles. We must not mess up our position and destroy the Great Wall again!"
After finishing Ning, I still said angrily: "Who is the Great Wall? If it is Dorgon, then the Great Wall has been destroyed."
Fan Wencheng said: "Does General Shi know? Dorgon's favorite minister Feng Quan actually conspired to join forces and wanted to dedicate this Shengjing to the Nanman court. If the general doesn't believe it, he can take the confession and question Feng Quan in person."
Shi Tingzhu hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing more. He just lay there and pressed his forehead against the carpet.
Fan Wencheng blinked at Dayu'er.
The queen mother immediately said: "Here comes someone!"
A group of guards came in with swords in hand and stood neatly behind Shi Tingzhu.
Shi Tingzhu knew it was irreversible, so he immediately turned his back on Dorgon, knelt straight and kowtowed again: "Slave Shi Tingzhu, please bow to your master!"
Dayu'er smiled and said: "Give General Shi a seat."
Fan Wencheng was Huang Taiji's confidant and the proposer of a series of reforms in the Qing Dynasty. Shunzhi succeeded to the throne, Dorgon became regent, and Fan Wencheng became the head of the civil service.
However, Dorgon reused Gang Lin, Feng Quan, and Qi Yunge, and Fan Wencheng actually lost his political power. Duduo's seizure of Fan Wencheng's wife was probably under Dorgon's instruction, and his purpose was nothing more than to beat Fan Wencheng.
As for Ning Wanwo, he contributed a lot of advice, but he liked drinking and gambling, so he was demoted and dismissed by Huang Taiji.
After Dorgon became regent, Ning Wanwo was re-enabled. At that time, I was very grateful to Ning Wan, but in the end I was thrown into compiling history. I have been compiling books in the history museum, and I have no real power at all.
Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, who have always been patient, finally seized the opportunity this time and joined forces with Da Yuer, who felt that his life was in danger.
They don't know what means they used to completely control the military power of the palace, and now they are forcing Shi Tingzhu to take sides.
Great traitors such as Feng Quan and Sun Zhixian had been beaten to death. Although Hou Xun was not Dorgon's confidant, he was also implicated. After some torture, he was forced to admit that he was a spy sent by Nanjing.
Gang Lin, Qi Yunge and other confidants of Dorgon were not beaten because of their status as Manchu nobles.
However, Ganglin and Qiyunge were frightened by the beating of the traitor in front of them, and they confessed Dorgon's transgression.
If you lose the battle and lose the army, you will lose everything.
…
Shenyang City has long prohibited anyone from entering or exiting, but Shi Tingzhu kept a secret and secretly sent people to Liaoyang to report the news to Dorgon.
Da Yuer's messenger also arrived quickly, arriving almost at the same time as Shi Tingzhu's people.
After Dorgon read the secret letter, the envoy from Emperor Shunzhi arrived.
The imperial edict has one meaning: Shengjing is in danger, call the regent to return to the capital immediately!
Holding back his anger, Dorgon arranged for the envoy to eat first and went to see Daishan with the imperial edict.
After explaining the situation, Dorgon said: "The women in the harem are so short-sighted. I will definitely be detained when I return to Shengjing. Second brother, what do you think we should do?"
Daishan was also very confused. How long had it been, the Queen Mother was still playing this trick.
But they also did not want to think about the fact that the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty continued to shrink, and Dorgon continued to erode the emperor's interests in order to win over the nobles. They even excluded Huang Taiji's confidants from the decision-making circle one by one. What did this make the Queen Mother and the Imperial Party think?
There was nothing he could do for a while, so Daishan comforted him: "You go back to Beijing first. Without the Eight Banners Meeting, the Queen Mother will not dare to do anything to you."
Dorgon wanted these words and left with the emperor's envoy.
But before Dorgon left, another imperial edict came, this time to Daishan, asking Daishan to take charge of the overall situation and become the regent.
"This is Fan Wencheng's method." Daishan said with emotion.
The garrison in Shenyang City and the guards in Shenyang Palace have all been controlled by Dayu'er. If Daishan turned against him, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would be divided. Based on Daishan's original move of giving up the throne, it was absolutely impossible for him to do so.
So, let Daishan be the regent, and let Daishan and Hauge restrain each other.
As for the Queen Mother Dayu'er, it seems she wants to listen to politics behind the curtain!
Just as Daishan was thinking about it, his bodyguard suddenly came over and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Han people outside Liaoyang City are causing trouble!"
…
Sixty miles south of Liaoyang City, that mountainous area is called Qianshan.
A peasant man in civilian clothes gathered more than 60 farmers and said: "Fellow folks, we have had enough of this day. The old chief Nurhaci is very bad. He sent troops to enslave Han people and killed people if they couldn't hand over food. Huang Taiji He was considered a good man and gave us land to cultivate. But this Dorgon is just like an old slave. He first moved us to the pass to divide the fields. After we didn't grow a few grains, he moved us back to Liaoyang. After much tossing, If we don’t do human affairs, the food tax is getting heavier and heavier.”
"In the past few years, how many people have starved to death in our village? How many people have froze to death? And the Chen family, when the government urges grain, the Chen family makes loan sharks (usury). We farmers have to borrow money from the Chen family to borrow grain. I paid grain taxes to the government, but in the end I couldn't pay them back, and half of the village's fields belonged to the Chen family..."
After telling the story, the farmers were very angry. If nothing happened, they would starve to death.
Liaoyang has always been more developed than Shenyang. Why didn't Nurhachi decide to make Liaoyang his capital? He was originally going to make Liaoyang the capital, and the people of Liaoyang also supported him. But the Han people gradually discovered that the Tatars were worse than the Ming government, so they often rioted inside and outside the city.
Nurhaci finally understood that Liaoyang's development level was too high and there were too many Han people in Liaoyang, which could not be digested for a while. So he set his capital in Shenyang and was ready to return to his hometown at any time.
The peasant man pointed to the person next to him and said: "This is Mr. Li sent by Emperor Zhao of Nanjing. I asked Mr. Li to say a few words to everyone."
Mr. Li's name is Li Maode, and he speaks with a Northeastern accent. He has been lurking in Liaodong for three years and has developed downlines in eight villages.
Li Maode did not talk about national justice, but told stories to the farmers: "Fellow villagers, you know that the teacher of Emperor Zhao of Nanjing was named Pang, and he was a Han from Liaodong. Mr. Pang was the emperor's teacher, and now he is also the prime minister. But Mr. Pang There was also a great disaster that year. The Tatars came and killed Mr. Pang and his whole family. Mr. Pang rolled down the cliff, half-blind and his hair turned gray overnight. A thirty-year-old man looked as old as fifty..."
"Mr. Pang was determined to take revenge, not only to avenge his family, but also to avenge the Han people in Liaodong, so that the Han people in Liaodong could live a good life. Mr. Pang accepted a student and taught him how to read and fight. This student caused the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty. , he became the emperor, that is, Emperor Zhao of Nanjing. Emperor Zhao is a student of our Liaodong Han people, how can he not be loyal to us Liaodong Han people?"
"Let me tell you how Emperor Zhao became emperor. When he saw that the peasants were having a hard time, he treated them well and led them to kill landlords to divide their fields..."
These Han farmers were fascinated by the stories. Every time it was mentioned that Emperor Zhao stood up for the poor, the farmers applauded and felt that this emperor was really one of their own.
Li Maode finally said: "The Tatars were defeated in Yaozhou, and the Datong Army has occupied Anshan, not far from our place. Folks, don't wait any longer. Let's learn from Emperor Zhao and kill the landlord to divide the land and start a rebellion. !”
Everyone agreed with a roar.
Holding hoes and wooden sticks, they rushed into the Chen family mansion, killed the landlord and opened a warehouse to release grain, and quickly gathered hundreds of rebel troops.
Then, they went up the mountain to kill Zuyue Temple and killed the abbot and more than ten monks. They continued to open warehouses to store grain, and many low-level monks joined the group, and immediately went out to find other landlords and Manchu farms.
In more than half a month, the peasant uprising team grew to more than 3,000 people and swept through the villages in the south and west of Liaoyang.
