Chapter 70 This is clearly the emperor's rebellion
After all, Yang Feng did not throw out the fifty tons of fragrant water left by him.
Because he came up with a new purpose.
Next, the emperor's imperial edict was quickly sent to Shanhaiguan. Then, Li Shoufu, who had just collected the jars of wine for him, hurried to the porcelain shop and made wine bottles in batches for him. The first batch of orders was 10,000. Fortunately, this thing was simple, so the first batch was quickly built. Then it was loaded in Laolongtou and shipped to the mouth of Daling River. The civilians there were small fishing boats upstream and transported to the docks and transported to the Guangning Frontline by four-wheeled carriages.
Then burning the shao bottle became a new weapon of the Ming army.
However, Yang Feng still did not attack.
He was still thinking about besieging the city and fighting aid. Although it was unlikely that Dorgon would return, the Qing army in Chenyang could not sit idly by? If Guangning was captured by him, no one would restrain him anymore. He would directly face the Liaohe River. He was looking forward to Jiergalang and Haoge who could send him more heads.
So the battle of Guangning continued to stalemate.
After transporting 10,000 reinforcements from Hebei East, the Ming army completely surrounded Guangning City. Although the high-end goods such as fragrant water burning bullets were no longer thrown away, those worthless big stones were still constantly going on every day, but the target became a city wall. Anyway, they were idle. The Ming soldiers used this as a pleasure. This thing was not worthwhile. Even if the catapult was broken, it was nothing more than cutting wood to create new ones.
They were happy, but the people of Guangning's banner were in trouble.
Just outside the city, the Ming army ate the rice sent by Jiangnan and seafood produced by the gangmen in Liaodong Bay. They went to hunt various beasts in Yiwulu Mountain. Then they ran to Jiannu camp for a shot. When they had nothing to do, the 40,000 bannermen in Guangning City were suffering from hunger. Their food was not much, and they burned a lot in the fire. The 40,000 mouths were not a small amount a day. Originally, there was a shortage of food in the northeast, and the bannermen actually relied more on fishing and hunting, but the Guangning City had no fishing and hunting. Originally, they could still kill horses, but most of their horses were burned to death and rotted in a few days. The end result was that there was a serious shortage of food in the city. All the bannermen had to fantasize about reinforcements every day in hunger. It was estimated that if this continued, they should eat people!
By the way, Yang Feng is also looking forward to their reinforcements just like them!
But the reinforcements just won’t come!
Jiergalang from Chenyang had no intention of saving his compatriots, but he began to build a fortress on the east bank of the Liao River.
As for Dorgon in Beijing...
Prince Rui is in a good mood.
After the defeat in the Battle of Jidong, Dorgon's defeat came to an end.
He did lose 10,000 elite Eight Banners and seriously injured a younger brother, but what he was in exchange for was the fence-team who were originally waiting and watching suddenly changed.
Yuan Yuzong didn't care about grabbing territory in Shandong, and then led 50,000 green camps back to Tianjin. At the same time, Jiang Guan also sent his younger brother Jiang Xuan to lead 20,000 troops to reinforce, and together with the Qing army retreating to Jizhou and Baodi, they quickly established a solid defense line on the west bank of the Ji Canal. These two guys knew very well that the premise of their desire to be a local emperor was that the Qing flag must fly high in Beijing. Once the flag fell and Dorgon withdrew from Beijing, they could neither fight against Li Zicheng nor the Ming Emperor, so they had to help Dorgon defend Beijing.
Or use this as bait to lure Dorgon to stay in the pass and serve them as a shield to facilitate them to grab territory.
Including the gentry officials in Zhili, they also changed their past stinginess in terms of money and food, and became particularly happy. Especially after Dorgon hinted that he was preparing to withdraw his troops to rescue Guangning, some gentry even proposed to form a militia to relieve the national crisis.
These guys are not stupid.
For them, the Qing Dynasty deserves their loyalty more than the Ming Dynasty. The dog emperor wanted to exile them and ask them to pay taxes, and it is said that he would have to leave the land of those gentry attached to the rebels. What is this? This is entirely Jie and Zhou. How good is the Qing Dynasty? The Qing Dynasty retained all officials, the Qing Dynasty did not pay taxes, and the Qing Dynasty would not steal the land of those gentry. Prince Rui was a rare wise king, and he definitely had the potential of a lord and wise king.
Well, although he is a Tartar.
But what happened to the Tartars?
If the barbarians enter China, they will be China. So since he has entered China, then of course they will be China.
As long as the banner of the Qing Dynasty did not fall, the officials in various places in Zhili in Beijing would definitely not fall. Similarly, the gentry's high privileges would not fall. It is even said that he was preparing to prosecute the ranks, so that the poor scholars would see the light. Once the dog emperor made a comeback, all the officials would definitely have to step down. He had already done this when he recaptured the counties in Jidong. After all, the dog emperor had a lot of people waiting for these official positions, and the gentry's tax exemption privileges would not fall. As for the imperial examination, the dog emperor had already ordered that the imperial examinations be suspended in various places, and he would have to go to the Nanjing supervisor after taking the imperial examinations.
Since that's the case, who would welcome him back?
He is indeed the truth.
He even has a mythical halo.
But so what?
Those gentry said that you are the truth and you are the truth and you are the truth and you are the truth and you are the true destiny of heaven. If you are the truth and you are the truth and you are the truth and you are the truth and you are the truth and you are the true destiny of heaven. Even if you are the orthodox emperors that have been continued for three hundred years, then you are the fate and you are the death.
As for the mythical halo?
The gentry said that you are Taizu's appearance and you are Taizu's appearance. If you are not Taizu's appearance, you are possessed by a demon!
This is the right to speak.
If you dare to challenge the gentry, you will become Jie and Zhou as well as you are Yao and Shun, and you will become a demon as you are a god!
The emperor can be replaced, the alien race can kneel, the privileges of the gentry cannot be changed, whoever dares to touch is the enemy of the gentry, and all countries, nations, and dignity can be put aside. Interests and interests are the most important. The Qing Dynasty safeguards the interests of the gentry, so the Qing Dynasty is the destiny of heaven. The Tartars who have entered the pass many times to protect the interests of the gentry, so the Tartars are the holy lords and wise monarchs!
"Look at it, it's all revealed!"
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
It is indeed revealed that the true form of the gentry can be said to have broken up. The statements about him being possessed by a demon in Zhili in Beijing are almost well known, and even all kinds of monster behaviors have spread before he escaped from Beijing. Especially in the years of the recurring natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty, the demonic aura on his body has become even worse. Even the incident of him stealing palace maids in the palace was exposed, making Yang Feng feel as if he was in the world of fairy tales. Many of these statements are reported from the court ministers who once expressed their loyalty to him. For example, Feng Quan firmly said that since the death of the late emperor, the constant disasters in the Ming Dynasty were the warning, and the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and killed the demons on behalf of the heaven.
"Your Majesty, can you dare to ask, what does Your Majesty mean?"
Li Yutian asked tremblingly.
He came from Shanhaiguan specifically because the emperor had just issued an imperial edict that could be added to the fire, which scared him very much.
After the Battle of Hebei, the Ming army took the opportunity to recover Zunhua. Then the emperor ordered all the gentry who had been accused of Zunhua from the Tatars to have no land. The gentry was calculated as direct members, and each person was allowed to retain only thirty acres of land, and all the other extras were taken to the royal family as official land. As for the tenants who originally rented these lands, in addition to paying taxes according to the law, they only needed to pay 10% of the rent to His Majesty the Emperor.
This is really adding fuel to the fire.
It can be said that if this imperial edict was issued, then all the gentry in the Qing army controlled the area would no longer have any fantasies about the emperor.
This is to cut off oneself from the people!
"If I don't explain it to you, do you also want to learn from Wang Yongji?"
Yang Feng asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is just to vent his anger, then I would rather die than obey the order. I have no roots. I will not even know where to go, even my parents, wives and children. I guess the hope of living is very slim. So I have no worries now, but I am only loyal to Your Majesty. But Your Majesty's decree is to abandon the world. I would rather die than sit down and watch Your Majesty do this indiscriminate order. I will not learn from the princes and princes. But if Your Majesty cannot make it clear, I will not dare to accept this decree."
Li Yutian said solemnly.
"You are a loyal minister, and I will not hide anything from you."
Yang Feng nodded.
"Then tell me why the bandits arose?"
He asked immediately.
"famine."
"Why did the famine come? Is it natural disaster?"
"Natural disasters are one of them, and annexation is the main cause. There is no land for plundering. The people work hard all year round but cannot afford food and clothing. All the food is exploited by officials and gentry. The good times can still be maintained. Once the disaster occurs, the whole family will die. If they don't want to die, they can only rebel and seek survival."
“So how to change?”
"Let the plough have their own fields."
"Where is the field?"
"Hand of a gentleman."
"Do you understand?"
"I understand, but Your Majesty must know that gentry is the foundation of the country. All monarchs of all dynasties have ruled the world with literati and officials. How can a country be established without gentry? Moreover, in this chaotic era, all the heroes of the world rose up. Although your Majesty is destined to be born, those who want to see the treasures are highly valued. Since ancient times, those who have obtained gentry will win the world. Your Majesty has cut off the gentry and pushed them to the Tartars. I am afraid that your Majesty's road to returning to the palace will be very difficult."
Li Yutian said.
"No, first of all, the people are the foundation of the country. I have the people enough. Secondly, I am not trying to cut off myself from the gentry in the world. I am just trying to cut off myself from those who are shameless and have ambitions. How can I refuse those who are truly loyal to me and loyal to the Ming Dynasty? Thirdly, the strong are respected. As long as I am strong enough, everything will be a native chicken and a dog, and the gentry is just a mantis armed mantis chariot."
Yang Feng said.
"Can Your Majesty be strong?"
Li Yutian asked with courage.
"able!"
Yang Feng replied.
"Just go back and do as I wish. Those who dare to resist will search their homes directly!"
Then he said again.
Shoujiao Li gave a deep gift and slowly withdrew from the large tent with swaying lights. After he went out, he looked at the sky full of stars and murmured to himself in a low voice.
"This is clearly the emperor is going to rebel!"
