Chapter 38: Suppressing the Rebel Army, Bolo Makes a Decision


The rulers of the Qing court did not expect that a shaving order would provoke such a fierce resistance in the world.The Qing army went south to sweep away the Hongguang court, and did not encounter any resistance, and now a shaving order has caused fires everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a great tendency to burn the plains.In July, under the city of Jiangyin, swarms of flies were raised on the corpses, and on the city wall in the distance, a broken bright flag fluttered defiantly.The Qing army besieged Jiangyin for nearly two months, but never took the city.Jiangyin has become a banner for the Jiangnan rebels to resist the brutal rule of the Qing army.Not long after the Qing army controlled Jiangnan, the garrison was mainly based on surrendering troops, if the Qing army could not suppress the Jiangnan Righteous Army, it would inevitably make these surrendered troops have other ideas, anyway, it is not impossible to return to Ming.Not long ago, a naval division that surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, under the persuasion of Qian Sule, a loyal Ming official and gentry, returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway and supported the vassal king in Zhejiang to resist the Qing Dynasty.This incident sounded the alarm for Bolo, who knew that the situation must be stabilized as soon as possible, otherwise it may be difficult for the Qing army to gain a foothold in Jiangnan.At this time, Bolo glanced at Jiangyin gloomily, pulled out his horse and returned to the camp, turned over and dismounted and entered his military tent.Belenikan followed the tent in, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I really don't know what the regent thinks, Jiangnan was supposed to be stable, and the southern provinces can be determined, why did the imperial court suddenly implement the shaving order, which caused rebellion everywhere. ”Bolo glanced at Nikan and walked to the map, Jiangyin, Huizhou, Chizhou, Songjiang, Suzhou and other places were full of anti-Qing forces, and the situation was like a mess, which really made the Qing army exhausted, but Bolo was Dolgon's henchman, and he naturally couldn't oppose Dolgon's decision."

Hmph~" Bolo sneered: "Do you think that the shaving order is as simple as losing your hair?"

”Nikan touched the braid on the back of his head, "Does the regent mean anything?"

”Bolo looked at him and said, "Naturally!

This shaving order is to distinguish the barbarians, those who have no backbone, shaving their hair is easy to accept, it means that they are subservient to my Qing Dynasty, such people will be slaves with peace of mind, and there will be no threat to my Qing Dynasty in the future, and those who are unwilling to shave their hair are the potential threat of my Qing Dynasty's rule over the world.The barbarians are cunning in their hearts, and there is no shaving order, and it is difficult for the Qing Dynasty to tell whether they surrender or not. ”"That being said, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River~" Nikan was a little worried, "According to the news sent by the scout, there is a Tang king in the south who has ascended the throne in Fujian.There is also a Lu Jianguo in eastern Zhejiang, if the rebellion in Jiangnan can't be suppressed, I'm afraid ~ "The southern Tang king called the emperor Jian, and the Lu Jianguo in eastern Zhejiang carried the banner, which made the ruler of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who originally thought that the general trend was to fix the Manchu rulers, felt a little uneasy.If these two regimes send troops north to cooperate with the rebellious people in the south of the Yangtze River, it is really possible to shake the rule of the Qing army.Bolo's face also sank, and Dolgon ordered him to be the general of the expedition to the south and guard the south of the Yangtze River, and he must not let Dolgon down.Bolo interrupted Nikan with a wave of his hand: "Therefore, we must completely eradicate the chaotic people in Jiangnan, and we cannot let the situation deteriorate." ”Nikan's expression perked up, "What's the solution?"

”Bolo said coldly: "One word, kill!"

”said, gritted his teeth and said: "Whoever comes forward, kill whoever comes, kill all those who dare to resist, and Jiangnan will naturally be stable." ”Nikan said: "Now that there are people everywhere, how can you kill them?"

”Bolo walked to the edge of the map, his eyes staring at the red dots marked one by one, "When we suppressed it before, the forces were too scattered and we didn't find a way, the main reason why the Jiangnan riots spread was that we didn't suppress the people who took the lead in making trouble.I decided to adjust my strategy and first destroy the two most powerful rebels in Jiangyin and Taihu, as long as I kill them all, I can deter the entire Jiangnan, and the rest will be suppressed. ”Nikan bowed slightly, "Jiangyin City rebelled first, and we have never been able to capture it, which really damages the prestige of the Qing Dynasty and boosts the arrogance of the chaotic people."

I heard that recently, there have been rioters running around, and they are gathering people to prepare to rescue the rebels in Jiangyin.The chaotic people in Taihu Lake are the most powerful, relying on our Qing soldiers who are not accustomed to water warfare, and they are attacking everywhere, and the impact is also extremely bad.Now how is Baylor going to deal with these two rioters?

”Bolo received some news that the barbarian named Zhao Ming had recently gathered people everywhere to rescue Jiangyin, and they had also established an organization to contact bandits from all over the country to fight against the Qing Dynasty.Recently, there have been reports from local officials, and the rioters have become organized and cunning.In the past, when the Qing soldiers went to encircle and suppress the rebellious people, most of those rebellious people would gather together, guard the cities, villages and towns, and fight hard with the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers could easily defeat them, kill them, and quickly pacify the place.Now these chaotic people, but not with the Qing soldiers desperately, as soon as the Qing army comes, they hide, the Qing soldiers go out and come out to make trouble, sometimes the Qing soldiers go to suppress the chaotic people all the way, only to go to the road, the county town is attacked by another group of chaotic people, so that the Qing soldiers can only return to help, tired of running for their lives.These phenomena show that the rebel army in Jiangnan began to be organized and cooperative, which is a situation that Bolo does not want to see."

If the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were here, they would have been destroyed long ago!"

Bolo said indignantly, and then said coldly: "Now it is difficult to control the situation with the green camp in Jiangnan alone, I have already sent a message to the regent, please send flag soldiers to fight south."

The regent has already sent Kong Youde and Shen Zhixiang to lead the two Han banners south, as long as they arrive, especially the red-clothed cannon carried by Kong Youde, it will not be difficult to destroy Jiangyin. ”In fact, even if there is no flag soldier, Jiangyin will not be able to hold for a long time, but the Qing army cannot tolerate the banner of Jiangyin to continue to fly, so it wants to take it as soon as possible and frustrate the arrogance of the Jiangnan rebels.Nikan nodded, "If Kong Youde and Shen Zhixiang come in a hurry, it will be no longer a problem to take Jiangyin." ”Bolo continued: "The chaotic people in Taihu Lake are a little troublesome, but the chaotic people are just chaotic people after all, and they can't compare to the army.The reason why they made a lot of noise was mainly because of the green battalion soldiers, and the battle was not enough, if they obeyed orders, Ben Belle would not believe it, and the army would not be able to defeat a group of chaotic people!

”"What does Baylor mean?"

Nikan asked.Bo Luo looked at him, "Originally, Li Chengdong, Wu Zhaosheng and other troops were supervised and monitored by Tunqi, but Tunqi was killed by a barbarian surnamed Zhao, and these green battalions lost their surveillance, and they did not contribute during the battle.Therefore, I want you to go to Suzhou, and assign Liu Zeqing's troops to you, and you will command the encirclement and suppression of the Taihu Lake water thieves. ”()
