Chapter 45 Enclosure Movement
Da Yuer said this, how could Dorgon disagreed? Dorgon's agreement made Da Yuer happy. Da Yuer threw a charming look at Dorgon, and Dorgon's whole body became soft.
Da Yuer was very good at controlling Dorgon, so Da Yuer said: "Regent, one thing I can say is, what will happen to Zhang Zhe and Li Zhe who have always wanted to achieve something if we rest and recuperate? Do they attack Nanming or kill each other? So our waiting for the current situation is not a stupid act, on the contrary, it is to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight!"
"Ha!" Dorgon smiled, nodded and said yes, because when he heard Da Yuer say that Zhang Zhe and Li Zhe would kill each other.
Da Yuer and Dorgon stayed warm for a while. Da Yuer wanted Dorgon to implement it. Then Dorgon reluctantly said goodbye to Da Yuer and execute it. What he had to do was to win over the Han tribes, landlords, and bureaucrats. They were shameless people. If they had milk, they would be mothers. Of course, whoever gave the benefits would be listened to whoever would benefit!
It can be said that Da Yuer's winning over and gathering people's hearts is the biggest threat to Zhang Biwu. This is far more uncomfortable than putting a million troops in front of Zhang Biwu and facing a greater dilemma.
When Zhang Biwu returned to Lingbao, he asked the soldiers to farm and also paid attention to the dynamics of the Qing Dynasty. No situation in the Qing Dynasty should be missed.
He heard that Zhang Xianzhong wanted to attack Shaanxi because He Luohui's army did not leave Qin, so Zhang Xianzhong naturally could not succeed.
Ajige received Dorgon's order not to attack, and everyone stopped their troops to rest and recuperate. In this way, Ajige defended Xiangyang again and blocked Li Zicheng's way. Li Zicheng could not move forward.
Moreover, the Qing army contracted to protect their territory. Even the places in Henan were unable to control all the areas. Will he continue to fight? No! The food and grass are not allowed to continue! In addition, Zhang Biwu's money is not much. If he still wants to continue fighting, it will be difficult!
Zhang Biwu once sent someone to contact Zheng Zhilong, hoping that Zheng Zhilong would not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but Zheng Zhilong said that Zheng Biwu would be able to deal with the matter. Once Zheng Zhilong was under the pressure of the Qing Dynasty, it was hard to say what kind of change would be Zheng Zhilong's attitude.
Zhang Biwu was even more worried about this because he knew that Zheng Zhilong would surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the future, so what he thought of was Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Chenggong indeed responded to Zhang Biwu and wanted to work with Zhang Biwu to support the Ming Dynasty!
Although history has changed with the emergence of Zhang Biwu, the overall trend has not changed yet! In addition, Zhang Biwu occupied a small territory and weak military strength. Because Henan is a broken land, it is even more difficult to strengthen his strength!
Where did Zhang Biwu develop? Shanxi? No! He already has heavy troops! The capital and auxiliary land of Beijing is not even a problem! And what about the land of Shaanxi? It is also dangerous, and Zhang Biwu is on an expedition. With his strength, his base will be taken away in an instant.
Although Zhang Biwu was also developing farming, he was very anxious. He knew that the Qing Dynasty was also developing farming, recruiting and scattered people to cultivate unowned land.
The Qing Dynasty occupied a large territory and a large population. Without war, Zhang Biwu was far from comparing the accumulation of national strength!
What's more, the Qing Dynasty also has a hometown in Liaodong! The Qing Dynasty's economic strength and soldiers are strong in Liaodong! If it drags on, even if Zhang Biwu's strength is also developing, the gap between them will eventually become bigger and bigger, and in the end they will end up being wiped out by the other side!
Now, another year has passed in a blink of an eye. During this year, Emperor Longwu was captured and Zheng Zhilong surrendered.
Although Shi Kefa and Huang Degong and He Tengjiao assisted Emperor Longwu, because the military power was in Zheng Zhilong's hands and Emperor Longwu had no soldiers, he sent Huang Daozhou to recruit soldiers, but it was useless.
Although he was a very capable person in the Zhu Ming royal family, it was a pity! He was born at the wrong time! Later generations lamented that if Emperor Longwu succeeded to the throne instead of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty would not have perished! Unfortunately, there is no assumption in history.
There is one thing that he was too angry when he was running for his life. He was reluctant to throw away his books, so he was captured by the Qing soldiers in Tingzhou. Emperor Longwu was very strong. He vowed not to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and would rather starve to death. He was much better than Emperor Hongguang.
The Longwu regime was destroyed, and the Qing Dynasty occupied the rich and wealthy land in the south, and its power became stronger! With larger and more sources of tax revenue, this will make the Qing Dynasty stronger!
Although the land enclosure movement that Zhang Biwu was looking forward to was also underway, it was much less than before. There were fewer and fewer people who fled to Zhang Biwu's territory because of the land enclosure movement.
Although Zheng Chenggong retreated to Xiamen and continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty, his strength was not strong and he was very powerless to shake the Qing Dynasty's rule.
"When the land is in the circle, the landlord will be expelled from the room, and all of them are possessed by them. Those who are ugly and want to keep them will not dare to carry them. Those who have no life will rely on them to cultivate them." The land of the Eight Banners is called the land of the banner, and it is not allowed to be bought and sold privately. "The land received by the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners is not allowed to go beyond the price of the banner or sell privately to the people." Violators are punished according to the law.
With the convenience of regent, Dorgon mostly flowed into the hands of Zhengbai Banner in the east of Hebei. After land enclosing, many farmers' fields were occupied and displaced. Some landlords or farmers invested in the Eight Banner Manors or went into exile in a foreign land, resulting in a large number of refugees and beggars.
Someone once cried to Zhang Biwu that the Qing Dynasty's land enclosure movement, whether you want to or not, would have to drive you out of your homeland. In a little while, the Qing Dynasty's butcher knife would be put on it, and many people would die because of it.
There were many people fleeing from all directions at that time. When Zhang Biwu was still in Nanyang Prefecture, Gu Yanwu and Qin Huaiyu had someone take over them, thereby increasing their strength and using their hatred to capture the lost place.
Nowadays, fewer and fewer people come to flee, and fewer land enclosure movements have become smaller. Massacre by force, such as massacre by village.
A fleeing man cried and said that their family was doing weddings. When the Qing soldiers arrived, they told them that their village had been occupied and they had to get out immediately!
As people argued, all the knives and guns that were stolen on them were swords and guns, and corpses fell down one after another. People in a whole village would be killed if they didn’t move away or leave!
After these Qing soldiers in the enclosed land were covered with blood, whenever they went to a village or a place to drive people away from their homes, people were frightened by the bloody butcher knife and tyranny, and they dared not speak out. After all, they were unarmed ordinary people! The Qing soldiers were demons holding sharp blades and killing without blinking!
At that time, Zhang Biwu asked these people who were hurt by the enclosure movement to complain everywhere, just to tell him that the people in the territory must unite and resist the Qing army together! Otherwise, misfortune would come to them!
At that time, the crowd was in full swing! Everyone rose up, and many people were willing to join the army to fight the Tartars.
Now the Qing Dynasty had very few land enclosure movements, but it was competing with Zhang Biwu for the hearts of the people, especially some large clans and landlords, and bureaucrats were all interested in the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Qing Dynasty not only guaranteed their personal safety, but also returned their property, including the land and property confiscated by Dashun, to the landlords and old treasures. Of course, they wanted to sincerely support the Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Biwu learned that these ideas were created by the Empress Dowager Da Yuer, and of course Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou also held the same attitude.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Biwu gathered a group to discuss it. Cao Bianjiao only had one word: "Test!" He was so excited that he stood up and said, "Lord, what I can say is that we can't let the Tartars come to suppress us! Let's send troops to attack them immediately!"
Zhang Biwu still didn't say anything, it was difficult for him to send troops! Although he was crazily expanding his combat power during this period, and Li Yan's troops had reached 50,000, most of them were recruits, but they were not well trained. Only 50,000 people were not enough to see! How to fight with the other party?
"The land enclosure movement! Can you think of a way! Let the land enclosure movement be carried out more vigorously?" Zhang Biwu came up with this idea. He didn't want to use force with the Qing Dynasty now. "If it could drive the Qing Dynasty to shave its hair and change its clothes, it would be great!"
He immediately received the approval of Xiong Jianhao and others. He said: "Yes! We must find a way to incite the nobles of the Qing Dynasty, and the generals must continue the land enclosure movement! In this way, the people will see through the tricks that the Qing Dynasty wanted to win people's hearts. In order to protect their homes, they will fight against the powerful enemy with us under our call!"
"Even if the land enclosure movement is rejected, the Tartar soldiers will be dissatisfied. Once they have resentment, their combat power will be greatly reduced! Especially their thoughts, I will fight to the death and end up getting nothing! So what the Qing Dynasty relies on was the Eight Banners' children and the Eight Banners' children's alienation, which is definitely not what Dorgon wanted to see!"
Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Yes! To solve the crisis of the Qing Dynasty, you have to do it! Besides, Da Yuer wanted to stop the land enclosure movement, but Dorgon was half-hearted and there were so many powerful and powerful families in the middle, and they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to stop it! If they didn't get benefits, get land, and worked hard to conquer the Central Plains, what's the use? This idea must grow in the hearts of the Qing Dynasty's officials and nobles, so that they could resist or stop the land enclosure movement!"
Zhang Biwu looked at Xiong Jianhao and said, "Go and do it! No matter how difficult it is, you must do it well!"
Xiong Jianhao also said: "But we cannot show our strong strength! This scared the Qing Dynasty and could not unite them! They succeeded step by step in the military in the south, which would be even more beneficial to us! And..." Xiong Jianhao's face was solemn.
