Chapter 166: Rebuilding the Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan Fushui Villa is the private property of Southeast Wen Zong Qian Qianyi.
It is located under Fushui Rock in Yushan Mountain.
It is surrounded by water, with winding corridors, cornices and brackets, and scattered pavilions, just like a flower floating in the vast mist. hibiscus.
Huang Taiji, who was accustomed to the ruggedness of the Northland, was amazed by it.
"This is Qian Muzhai's villa.
It's much more luxurious than my palace in Shengjing.
This old man is really rich."
Sitting in the Coupling Hall of Fushui Villa, I admired the exquisite carved beams and paintings in the house, the various antique treasures displayed on the ancient shelves around it, as well as the pipa, flute and harp hanging on the wall, with a bandage wrapped around my shoulders.
Huang Taiji, who was with him, couldn't help but say, "I heard that when this old man was in Beijing, he cried out to the Chongzhen boy every now and then for three days, asking for tax cuts and exemptions for the Jiangnan gentry.
I didn't expect that he was actually so rich. enemy country" "Your Majesty, the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are probably so shameless right now."
Fan Wencheng, who was accompanying him, replied, "They claim to be clean, but each of them has a millionaire and thousands of hectares of fertile land, and they think they are the proud sons of heaven.
They ask for The imperial court exempted them from taxes and labor, and they also had to see I don't want to be an official, but I want to talk about government affairs.
In short, I want everything, but I don't want to do anything for the court.
I will rebel and make troubles from time to time, forcing the court to spend money to appease such a gentleman.
What use is there for me in the court?
The official salaries and salaries of the Qing Dynasty did not fall from the sky."
"Yes, I really can't afford to raise such a gentleman, and I dare not raise him, and it will be useless if I raise him.
Since Jiangnan Shilin is so arrogant and cannot be used by me, then I have no choice but to kill them and use them I will use my wealth to support those who are willing to use it for me.”
Huang Taiji touched his injured shoulder and sighed, "By the way, where is Qian Muzhai at this moment?"
"I report to Your Majesty that the old traitor Qian Qianyi gathered a crowd to conspire against him.
He was killed by our Qing soldiers in Huqiu and his body was chopped into meat paste in the capital."
"Well, it's good to die.
Then I can live comfortably in his Fushui Villa, but don't forget to kill his nine tribes."
"I obey the order, let's do it now" Generally speaking, in the days after winning the Battle of Nanjing, Huang Taiji was always in a happy mood.
The Jiangnan strategy was overwhelming and the harvest was fruitful; with the rewards of a large amount of wealth, fields, and women, the Qing troops from all walks of life The morale of the military is also becoming more and more stable.
Although Huang Taiji was unlucky enough to be shot in the shoulder during the street fighting in Suzhou, it was the middle of winter and everyone was wearing a lot of clothes.
Huang Taiji was originally wearing heavy armor, and he had cotton-padded jackets and silk jackets underneath. shirt, so the arrow that hit his shoulder penetrated less than half an inch into his flesh, and was not even as serious as the injury he suffered when hunting wild boars in Liaodong in his early years.
Now he has only been recovering for a day or two, and it has almost healed. .
Previously, during the Battle of Nanjing, Huang Taiji was in a precarious situation and was beset with internal and external difficulties.
There were the two white flags and the Dorgon brothers with ulterior motives inside, and the 90,000-strong army of Emperor Chongzhen who fought endlessly with red eyes outside.
At the most dangerous time, Huang Taiji brought his wife, concubines, and children to the battlefield, not just for show, but because he really made up his mind to "do it or die".
Fortunately, he finally won the Battle of Nanjing and once again beat his old rival Chongzhen Xiao'er to pieces.
Next, those Donglin Party members who invited the Qing soldiers to cross the river to help in the war were severely played, taking their money and their lives.
Although the sequelae of this policy were huge, It is more hated by the gentry all over the world than burning books and humiliating scholars, but at the moment Huang Taiji really can't care about so much.
After all, this policy of killing people, confiscating their families and dividing their fields was really effective.
Since he issued an order to encircle the land, massacre the Jiangnan gentry landlords, demote all the Jiangnan people as slaves, take their wealth, mansions and fields, and distribute them to all the Qing army generals, not only the two yellow, two red and two blue in the Eight Banners All the flag soldiers cheered and their morale was high.
Even the Ming army, which had surrendered one after another, was lured by the huge benefits and enthusiastically accepted the Qing court's adaptation.
They were immediately assigned to each of the Eight Banners, and soon the six banners in Jiangnan were The establishment of nearly two hundred Niulu was restored.
Strictly speaking, the Eight Banners are not equal to the Jurchens.
Let’s not mention the Han military flag and the Mongolian military flag for the time being.
Even among the Eight Banners of Manchuria, many Han people from Liaodong have successively changed their nationality to join.
For example, the descendants of Yuan Chonghuan were already die-hard bannermen by the end of the Qing Dynasty, and even became Heilongjiang generals.
In order to balance the power of each banner while trying to make rewards and punishments as clear as possible, Huang Taiji allowed Jierhalang's blue-inlaid banner to be expanded to thirty-three Niulu, while the two yellow banners directly under him only had twenty-five banners each.
Niulu, but the Zhenglan Banner of Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge has increased to forty-two Niulu, of which the flag leader Hauge alone controls 28 Niulu, in order to ensure the relative advantage of Huang Taiji's direct lineage.
General Abatai took the lead in the bloody battle of Nanjing and was seriously injured, so he deserved a heavy reward.

Therefore, the number of Niulu under his jurisdiction increased to nine.
Even his two sons were assigned one Niulu each, and they were both promoted to Beizi. .
The two red flags, which were originally under the command of Big Baile Daishan, suffered heavy losses in the previous series of drastic changes.
This time, they could be fully rebuilt and restored to their original full strength.
The Han army flag, which was once almost destroyed, was restored by Huang Taiji.
The most loyal traitor, Fushun surrendered general Li Yongfang, was temporarily appointed as the flag master.
Although it will take a long time for the new recruits to join each banner to get better use of their combat effectiveness, at least the military morale is completely stable.
After all this hard work, not only did the two yellow, two red, and two blue flags that crossed the river to participate in the war, but also became obsessed with Huang Taiji because they obtained the fertile fields, luxurious mansions, slaves and beauties in the south of the Yangtze River.
Even Liangbaiqi, who was stranded in Jiangbei with ulterior motives, soon became shaken after learning of such good things.
In order to dismantle Dorgon's tribe, Huang Taiji generously generously extended his generosity to others, and constantly issued decrees to Jiangbei, declaring that he would Rebuilding the Qing Dynasty in Jiangnan, all banners Regardless of whether they are Manchus or Han, they can all go south to encircle the land, and each banner's Baylor, Dutong, and Zuo will receive a reward: anyway, they are the fields and mansions of the Jiangnan Jin gentry.
Huang Taiji doesn't feel bad at all when he takes them out to reward people.
The rewarded person has to find a way to kill the old master.
The prosperous land in the Jiangnan water town is as attractive to northerners as the lottery jackpot.
Even Liangbaiqi, the staunch direct descendant of the three Dorgon brothers, could not resist the temptation of a windfall from heaven, and they all requested to cross the Yangtze River south in response to Emperor Chongde's edict.
Then, before Dorgon could make up his mind, Turge, who was wearing a white flag, took his three Niu Lu and first crossed the river and ran to the south of the Yangtze River to seize the territory.
Suk Saha, the general with the white flag, saw someone taking the lead, and immediately pulled out ten Niulu and headed to Jiangnan.
As a result, more than half of the fifteen Niulu, which were nominally under the direct control of Dorgon, were lost in an instant.
Next, Ashan, the commander of the Zhengbai Banner who entrusted Nurhaci to take care of his young son Duduo before his death, also forgot his promise to Nurhaci, left Duduo alone, and went south with a small half of the Zhengbai Banner.
In the end, even Azig, one of Dorgon's three brothers, hesitantly brought his thirteen cattle records to Yangzhou.
He was worried that this was a trap for Huang Taiji, but he was also reluctant to part with the fragrant bait of the fertile soil in the south of the Yangtze River.
Time is between a rock and a hard place.
So, while Huang Taiji was living leisurely in the Fushui Villa surrounded by lakes and mountains, enjoying the tenderness of the beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, Dorgon, who was in Xuzhou, felt as if he was sitting on a stove being roasted.
Originally in Xuzhou, There were sixty-five Niu Lu's two white flags in the Lunan area.
Faced with Huang Taiji's move, they were completely wiped out and were instantly defeated.
Of the more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, only two or three thousand were left.
Although Dorgon could also allocate farm women to the Eight Banners soldiers in Shandong and Xuzhou to compete with Huang Taiji for the hearts of the people, he did so.
But the fields in the north have always been much poorer than the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that the Central Plains is now a thousand-mile red land.
There have been severe droughts for years.
Farmers everywhere are abandoning their fields to escape famine.
Even if they plant crops, they may not be able to harvest.
So the two The soldiers with the white flag were still running southward.
The wealth accumulated by the people in Jiangnan is the highest in the world.
Even the imperial capital Beijing cannot compare, let alone places like Shandong and Xuzhou.
When it comes to spending money to buy loyal capital, Dorgon at this time has no way to compete with Huang Taiji for wealth, and besides, he still occupies the legitimate title of the orthodox emperor oshow7:
