1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 883
Shenyang, May 1673, 11.

Former Duke Bao of Ming Dynasty and Governor of Liaodong Wang Shangli slightly opened his eyes, but his expression was still a little dazed. He stared at the curtains on the bed for a long time before gradually waking up.

Within reach is a piece of smooth and tender skin. A Korean maidservant with a naked body cowered timidly by the bed, not daring to move.Although he had already woken up, he didn't dare to disturb this nobleman of Ming Dynasty.

A lewd smile appeared on the corner of Wang Shangli's mouth, and he played with the North Korean maid wantonly for a while.Helpless, the age is over sixty, and after a ridiculous night last night, I am really incompetent.

"The waiter changes clothes." Wang Shangli resentfully grabbed the North Korean maidservant, and then sat up with difficulty.

Five years ago (1668), Daming took advantage of the earthquake in Tancheng, Shandong Province, took Wang Shangli as the commander-in-chief, raised [-] troops, and attacked the Qing captives in the north.At the beginning, the Ming army was as powerful as a broken bamboo. After capturing Xuzhou, which was heavily guarded by Qing soldiers, it almost broke through the Jianghuai and Shandong in less than two months, and entered the hinterland of Hebei, only one step away from the capital.

However, just when Wang Shangli was full of ambition and gathered heavy troops to besiege Cangzhou, the Qing captives dispatched tens of thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners from Liaodong, Monan, and Hebei to cut off the logistics supplies of the attacking Ming army with a small group of cavalry, and then, Taking advantage of the wavering of the Ming army, they fought with the Qing army in Cangzhou City from inside and outside, and defeated the Ming army.

The Ming Army's Northern Expedition first won and then lost, and was pushed all the way to Shandong by the Qing captives. They even besieged Jining with heavy troops, intending to wipe out the Ming Army in the Northern Expedition. down for help.

Later, Li Dingguo, the king of Gan, assembled an army of [-] troops, and with lightning speed, first broke the siege of Jining, and then led his troops to attack Runing, defeating the two armies of the Qing and captives, and restored the precarious situation of the Ming army.

Afterwards, Qin Wangsun Kewang issued an edict to take Wang Shanglisuo, the former general of the Northern Expedition, and the commander of the Northern Expedition, to prison, and handed over to the judiciary for questioning.Later, under the intercession of the Chinese and Chinese military officials, the King of Qin thought about his past achievements and lenient the net. Wang Shangli was sentenced to a one-year salary, expelled from the rank, deprived of his concurrent positions, demoted to the people, and escaped death.

Surrounded by hundreds of guards, Wang Shangli wore a heavy cloak and a sword, and rode a steed horse, preparing to go out of the city to the Tieling Guard for inspection and defense.

As Sun Kewang's confidant general and one of the former governors of the five armies of the Daxi Kingdom, Wang Shangli quickly recovered by virtue of his deep connections. He was appointed by the court as the governor of Liaodong two years ago. Corridor, entered Liaodong, and directly hit the old lair of the Qing captives.

"How to march in such a severe cold weather?" Xichun was stunned.

"Without anyone, how can we defend the huge Liaodong?" Wang Shangli shook his head, then rode his horse and drove out of the city.
-
On December 12, Alchuka City (now Acheng District, Harbin).

"Marshal, which one of those who cleared the remnants of the captives and the slaves who don't have the blood debt of our Han people!" said the head of Qian bitterly: "According to those former Han slaves crying, just every winter, they were frozen to death and starved to death. There are as many as a thousand Han slaves who died. Not to mention, the number of Han slaves who were beaten, scolded and tortured to death on weekdays will be even more. Besides, the Qing captives entered the customs for 30 years, and how many Han people were slaughtered. Now, it is time It's the present report!"

Faced with the guidance requirements of the Qi people, the Bohai Kingdom suddenly felt a little dissatisfied and wronged.

During the more than a year in charge of Liaodong, Wang Shangli divided his troops to wipe out the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time released the surviving Han slaves and Bao Yi from slavery, and started farming on the spot to restore local people's livelihood.

Xichun is the grandson of Prince Zheng Jierhalang. After evacuating the capital and fleeing to Monan, he couldn't bear to drink the wind and blow the sand there. Potential.However, two years ago, in the face of several offensives from the Ming army, they did not dare to risk their lives, so they directly abandoned Liaodong and went north to their Bohai country.

With the help of artillery supported by the Qi army, Wang Shangli even killed and captured more than [-] Qing troops in Kningyuan, Jinzhou and other fortified cities, which greatly shook the Qing army's will to stick to Liaodong.Subsequently, the Qing army entrenched in Liaoyang, Shenyang, Hetuala and other places took a large number of people and property with them, and headed north one after another to Bohai State.As a result, the Ming army finally occupied Liaodong at a small price and regained the homeland of the Ming Dynasty that had been occupied for more than [-] years.

More than 20 years ago, Sharhuda, the former head of the Bohai Sea, fled to the Heilongjiang River Basin with thousands of rebels from the Eight Banners. He passed through the city, looted all the people and property, and then burned it down, and the city was abandoned. .

For this reason, King Qin has sent envoys to Yunzhou to meet King Yong and negotiate with him, asking his troops to withdraw from the Liaodong Peninsula and return to this town.At the same time, Wang Shangli secretly ordered Wang Shangli to reorganize his troops and horses, accumulate combat supplies, and prepare to send troops suddenly in the spring and summer of the next year to forcefully expel Yunzhou Town from Liaodong.

"Back to Commander, those who froze to death are the remnants of the former Qing captives and their former slaves." One of the chief executives said casually: "Well, maybe it was caused by the retaliation and killing of the former Han slaves." .”

"Tian Cao!" Wang Shangli waved his horsewhip at the boss Qian, "Killing everyone. In the next spring, who the hell will dig ditches, and who the **** will plow the fields. Food and grass for my army?"

Now, the former Nuergandusi, which has more favorable geographical conditions, suddenly has a power vacuum. Naturally, the Bohai Kingdom unceremoniously sent troops southward to bring it under its rule.In addition, two years ago, all the Qing troops guarding Liaodong came to vote. In addition to adding more than [-] Eight Banners officers and soldiers to Bohai, they also brought in [-] young and strong civilians, which made Bohai's strength suddenly increase.

Compared with the colder Boli City (now Boli City, Russia), the Bohai King Guarja Bahai prefers the city of Alchuka, which was occupied two years ago.Hundreds of years ago, the former Dajin Kingdom built its capital here, named Shangjing.Later, as the Jin Kingdom continued to invade the Liao Kingdom and occupied more southern territory, Shangjing was established as the accompanying capital.

Now, the Bohai Kingdom has more soldiers and more people, and the ambitions that follow have begun to grow and spread.Many people have this kind of idea, that is, when the Ming army's foothold in Liaodong is not stable, gather all the soldiers and horses, and go south for a full blow, just like the battle of Sarhu and the battle of Songjin decades ago. , thus establishing a separatist regime for the entire Northeast.Maybe, in the future, Bohai Kingdom will be able to look for opportunities to break through as the Qing court did, and then sweep China.

Two years ago, the Ming army invaded Liaodong, and the rule of the Qing court collapsed immediately. In order to avoid being liquidated by the Ming army, Qing troops from all over the country threw themselves into the Bohai Kingdom one after another, and the city of Al Chuka also fell under the control of the Bohai Kingdom. .

Until last year, when Wang Shangli led troops into Liaodong, the Qing captives who stayed behind in Shenyang carried a large number of young and strong people and countless belongings all the way north to the Bohai Kingdom.As a result, when the Ming army occupied Shenyang, there were less than 4 people left in this former important town in Liaodong, and they were full of old, weak, sick, disabled, and starving everywhere.

"Damn, everyone is dead, which one shall we order in the future?" Wang Shangli scolded, "Order, those who are still alive, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty and the enslaved slaves, will be taken care of by me for the time being."

On the streets of Shenyang City, except for groups of Ming soldiers patrolling the city, there were very few pedestrians, and the market was deserted. Many shops had their doors tightly closed.It is said that when the Qing Dynasty used this as its capital decades ago, the entire Shenyang city had a population of nearly 20, and the market was still very lively.Later, when the Qing captives entered the customs, those princes and nobles ran to the capital to enjoy their blessings, which made Shenyang slowly begin to wither, and the population also dropped to less than [-].

Twenty-seven years ago (27), the Qi State united with the Denglaiming Army, landed in Liaodong across the sea, and defeated Gaizhou, Haizhou, and Liaoyang along the way. After detecting that Shenyang was empty, they suddenly launched a surprise attack, captured the city in one fell swoop, and captured the Qing Dynasty. Hundreds of nobles from the Eight Banners were captured, more than 1646 million taels of gold and silver of various colors were taken away, and other wealth was countless.Before leaving, he set Shenyang on fire.Since then, the city of Shenyang has become even more dilapidated.

"...These chores, even without those Qing captives, it's not like we Han people can't do it." The chief executive Qian muttered in a low voice, but he still rode towards the city to convey Wang Shangli's latest order.

"That's right, even if you think it's impossible to march in such a snowy day, then the Ming army will think so too. So, they must have been unprepared, and they happened to be taken advantage of by Prince Zheng." Ta Bu squinted at Xichun, " Could it be... Prince Zheng dare not go?"

However, due to the influence of the geographical environment and climate, the entire Bohai State is still unable to achieve self-sufficiency in food. Every year, it needs to exchange a large amount of local products such as fur, antler, and ginseng from Qi State or the neighboring Zhenzhou (now Vladivostok, Russia). food.Of course, the annual grass-threshing activities in Liaodong and North Korea are also indispensable.

"So many people died last night?" When Wang Shangli rode his horse to the city gate, he saw no less than ten corpses dragged by two carriages to be discarded outside the city for burial, so he reined in his horse and stopped immediately.

In fact, at this time in the Liaodong area, in addition to Wang Shangli's Ming army, the Yunzhou town to which King Yong belonged also occupied more than ten former Liaodong capitals, including Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Yingzhou, and Zhuanghe.The Bohai Kingdom also took advantage of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, and went south to occupy parts of the former Nuer Gandu Division such as Acheng (now Harbin), Songyuan, and Jilin, and its power reached Jianzhouwei.

However, in order to prevent the south of Bohai Sea from invading Liaodong, the Qing government stepped up the construction of the city of Alchuka, stationed more than [-] officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners, set up the deputy capital of Alchuka, and built it into the most beautiful city by the Songhua River. Important military fortress.

"Since Prince Zheng has such great ambitions, why not lead the troops of the [-] Banners under his command, and take advantage of the snowy weather to suddenly go south and catch the Ming army by surprise." Tabu, the commander of the Left Army of the Bohai Kingdom, said beside him, "As long as you If we can break through the defenses of the Kaiming Army, our Bohai Navy will naturally follow up and sweep the entire Liaodong."

However, later, when the Qing court heard that Sarhuda and others were entrenched in the Heilongjiang area, they mobilized troops to attack them.In order to have a solid frontier base, the Qing government rebuilt the abandoned city of Al Chuka as a place to station troops and gather supplies.

In these places, there is nothing but fur and antler.Where is it like Liaodong, although the winter is relatively cold, but at least it has been developed for hundreds of years, so it can be regarded as a familiar place.Moreover, there are cities, villages, roads, and a climate more suitable for growing crops.

Why?

Ba Hai, the lord of Bohai who is high on the throne, glanced at Xichun expressionlessly, and was noncommittal to his remarks, just drinking slowly from his glass.

Due to logistical difficulties and lack of troops, the crusading troops of the Qing court were repelled by Sharhuda several times in a row, so they could only temporarily retreat to this place.In the end, under the military pressure of the Ming Dynasty in the south, the Qing government had to acquiesce in the existence of rebels such as Sharhuda in the Heilongjiang River Basin without any more troops to be sent to Liaodong.In a few years, the Bohai Kingdom was established, and the Qing court should have completely disappeared.

After more than 20 years of development, the entire Bohai State has a population of nearly [-] people, of which Han Chinese and captured Koreans account for [-]%. The sphere of influence they occupy is basically distributed along the Heilongjiang River and its tributaries. Currently, there are There are more than ten strongholds in the Walled City with more than a thousand people.

A few days ago, Tieling Guard sent someone to report that dozens of rangers appeared nearby, and it could not be ruled out that the remnants of the Qing captives taken in by the Bohai Kingdom to the north were spying on the Ming army's defense line.Although, in the cold weather of early winter, it was not the time to use troops, but he still did not dare to slack off in the slightest.If the police in Liaodong were to be raided by others, and they would be brought together, Wang Shangli would probably have no face to live again.

"My lord, what is there to hesitate about?" Xichun stood in the hall and said loudly: "As long as we go south with all our strength, we will definitely take the whole of Liaodong. This country of Qi has always been on good terms with that hypocrite." Naturally, everything is directed towards them. We are not allowed to occupy here, and we are not allowed to seize there. It is clear that we want to instruct our Bohai country to go to the extreme northern wilderness, and live a miserable life with the savages there."

You let our Bohai state expand to the north and west, but what is there?Endless forests and mountains, cold winds and heavy snow in winter, everywhere is vast, and there are countless swamps and mud in spring, only the short summer and autumn can go out for hunting and farming.

In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the land became the territory of the family of the third brother of Genghis Khan and the jurisdiction of the Nurgan Dusi respectively.Decades ago, when the influence of Houjin expanded to this point, the city of Alchuka was built on the original site with the stones and giant felled trees left over from the city.

After more than a year of recovery, and at the beginning of the year, more than 2000 landless peasant households moved in from Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places to farm here, making Shenyang a little more popular.

However, as the supporter and biggest benefactor of Bohai State, Qi State resolutely opposed this, and asked Bohai State to give up the old land occupied by Nuergandusi, and was even asked to withdraw from the Songhua River Basin to avoid conflicts with Ming Dynasty and turn to China. And to the north, westward expansion.

More importantly, the land of Liaodong is closer to the Han land. If there is turmoil in the Central Plains regime, they can take advantage of the situation and enter the pass to enjoy the colorful world.

If someone thinks that Wang Shangli just disappears from the crowd and withdraws from the court, then he will be underestimated.

As for the Bohai Kingdom established by the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, there is naturally nothing to say. After cleaning up Yunzhou Town, gather a large army and go all the way north to recover the old land of Nuer Gandusi first. It is best to beat it painfully.If the Qi State fails to coordinate with it, it will attack it with all its strength, destroy its country, cut the weeds and root out the roots, and completely eliminate the potential threats in the Northeast region.

Now, the cold wind has been blowing for more than a year, and he has lived in a simple wooden house for a while, and he can't bear it any longer. He has been motivating the Bohai Kingdom to send troops south to retake Liaodong.

"Why don't I dare to go!" Seeing that everyone in the hall was looking at him, Xichun said forcefully: "After a few days for our Eight Banners armored soldiers to prepare, they will be the leader of the army.... We really want to fight in this cold winter and snowy day." In the middle, go to attack Liaodong?"

"Then let's fight and see." Ba Hai said lightly: "Perhaps, in this battle, our Lord Zheng can give Bohai Kingdom the upper hand and take the upper hand."

When Xichun heard this, he secretly complained in his heart.The Lord of the Bohai Sea clearly wants to take this opportunity to consume the strength of my Eight Banners troops.

Grandma, these savages, I thought they would become stupid after staying in the wild for a long time.

Hey, man really underestimated them!
