    On the eighth day of April in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered Shanhaiguan. Dorgon immediately ordered everyone in Shanhai City to die. Fan Zhiwan, Li Yutian, Tang Tong and others did not dare to commit suicide or resist, so they could only  Obey the orders of the Qing Dynasty.  Dorgon was so happy that he also granted Tang Tong the title of king, and Fan Zhiwan and Li Yutian were the first literati he gained. They also granted him the title of marquis and duke, generous gifts.  The gentry, big and small, in Guancheng all had their hair cut off, as well as all the Ming army battalions, all with money and rat tails.  Except for the Tong tribe of the Tang Dynasty, Dorgon ordered all these horse and infantry troops to be subordinate to Pingxi King Wu Sangui, as was the original Liu Zhaoji tribe.  When Liu Zhaoji died earlier, Wu Sangui immediately led his servants to eliminate Liu Zhaoji's personal servants in the city. The remaining servants had no intention of resisting, so they were taken over by Wu Sangui.  At this time, the Qing army ordered them to stand up. Some people tried to resist, but were quickly suppressed.  Dorgon also issued a message to each village, telling them to take the disabled but not to kill them, in the hope of sharing peace. Those who fled to the valleys rushed to welcome the surrender one after another.  On that day, Dorgon ordered Duduo to lead the army westward, while he stayed in Shanhaiguan to handle some affairs.  On the ninth day of the lunar month, Wu Sanfu, Yang Shen, Guo Yunlong and others of Wu Sangui's tribe who stayed in Ningyuan died. Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, and Zhang Douren of Bingbei Road committed suicide in the city.  On that day, all the officials and generals of the ancestral clan in Jinzhou, including Zu Dabi, Zu Dalue, and Zu Dacheng, also lost their hair.  Under Dorgon's strict order, they selected 20,000 soldiers and horses, accompanied by Dudu, Luoluohuan, Ashan, Baiyintu and other soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty's two red flags and the original two yellow flags outside the cities of Yizhou and Jinzhou.  Shanhaiguan, under the command of Wu Sangui, accompanied the main force of the Qing army in the Western Expedition.  At the same time, the Qing army also stationed a number of troops in various cities in western Liaoning. It can be said that Dorgon actually annexed a large area of ??land in western Liaoning without any effort.  Not only that, dozens of red Yi cannons from the original Qing Dynasty that were captured during the Jinzhou War and placed in various cities in western Liaoning were also taken with the army.  When Dorgon saw these Hongyi cannons, he couldn't help but touch them and choked up: "My cannons are back again." He cried emotionally, and all the Qing generals beside him also shed tears.  ¡­ On the eighth day of the lunar month, when Wu Sangui turned on and off, a horse rushed to Lengkou Great Wall and informed the Marquis of Jibei and Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, who were still guarding the Great Wall.  Although Yang Guozhu was frightened, he still selected elite troops to defend Lengkou, Xifengkou and other places, and only withdrew his troops from Jielingkou.  Then he led the main force to resist the defense of Qian'an City, intending to block the Tatar invaders from the east and north directions and prevent the disaster from spreading.  At this time, someone urgently advised Yang Guozhu to leave immediately, starting from the west bank of the Luanshui River outside the Great Wall and passing through Mantaoer and other places to Xuanfu.  Or just hold on to the city and don¡¯t go to war!  Otherwise, the Tartars are too powerful, and if they fight outside the city, it will be more disastrous than good!  The person who reminded Yang Guozhu was the Intelligence Department agent who persuaded Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen that day. He was also the messenger who delivered Wang Dou's personal letter containing news about the prince.  After the letter was delivered, he stayed with Yang Guozhu.  At this time, he was even more anxious to persuade Yang Guozhu, but the old general just sighed: "I am not afraid of death, I just want to die well." He said: "I guard the border wall, and I only hope that no foreigners can take a step, so how can I  Just sit back and watch the barbarians wreak havoc outside?" The Intelligence Department agent sighed in his heart, the result was the same as when he persuaded Cao and Wang that day.  However, if it weren¡¯t for the loyalty and loyalty in their hearts, how could they be so admirable?  He also bowed deeply, turned around and left, then rode his horse out of the city in a hurry.  Looking at the direction in which the messenger left, Yang Guozhu's eyes were a little complicated. As the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, he had the responsibility to defend the territory. He could not sit still in the city and watch the slaves and thieves burn, kill and loot outside.  " Moreover, he still had a hidden worry in his heart. He couldn't see through Wang Dou and didn't know what he wanted to do.  He murmured in his heart: "If there is a day of choice, how should I deal with it?" When Dashun persuaded him to surrender, Yang Guozhu did not object to Wu Sangui and others seeking wealth in the new dynasty, but in the end he decided to be the lonely minister of the Ming Dynasty.  .  Generations of his Yang family, his father, his elder brother, and his nephews, all died fighting for the Ming Dynasty. He, Yang Guozhu, also has the same intention and is only loyal to the Ming Dynasty.  So, if he has to make a choice in the future, what should he do?  However, he can rest assured of one thing. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, there is no one who treats the people the most kindly except Yongning Hou Wangdou. In the future, under his rule, the people will not have to worry about having a good life.  So, he has nothing to worry about.  However, he still called his subordinates and asked them whether they wanted to leave or stay, respecting everyone's choice.  His subordinates were also willing to advance and retreat with the general. While Yang Guozhu was pleased, he still confessed: "If something unexpected happens to me, you can stick to the city, orWhen you enter Xuanfu Town, the general who conquers the captives will not treat you badly.  On the ninth day of the lunar month, Qing troops appeared outside Qian'an City. Yang Guozhu led the cavalry to fight and gained a lot.  On the tenth day of the lunar month, as the Qing army increased in number, Yang Guozhu fought against the city and made some gains.  Duduo persuaded him to surrender, but Yang Guozhu refused.  On that day, the main force of the Qing army continued to enter from Jialingkou and Shanhaiguan. The number of soldiers and horses increased by tens of thousands, and finally gathered outside Qian'an City.  On April 11, Dorgon appeared. He personally sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, and also asked Wu Sangui, Fan Zhiwan and others to appeal for surrender, but Yang Guozhu all refused with righteousness and stern words.  Dorgon also said that this time the Qing army marched westward and had no ambitions. They only came to avenge your father and simply destroy the bandits. It was okay for Yang Guozhu not to surrender, but he hoped that he could join forces and march westward to quell the invaders. Yang Guozhu still refused.  At this time, Dorgon ordered an attack, and Yang Guozhu lined up to fight in the city. He saw the Qing army on the opposite side with flags like a sea, people and horses like a tide, and the shouts that broke out were like a tsunami.  He looked at the people and horses around him. Although there were more than ten thousand people, they were so small compared to the Tartar position opposite.  But as I looked around, I saw guns and flags standing like a dense forest. Every sergeant I saw had a determined look on their face, without the slightest hint of fear.  He fiercely pulled out his sword and roared: "Soldiers, let the slaves and thieves know today that we, the Ming Dynasty, also have loyal and heroic men, kill the slaves!" All the soldiers under his command followed Yang Guozhu and roared, they were shouting at the top of their lungs.  Shouting, their eyes were firm, they were not afraid, their overwhelming shouts rolled across the earth like spring thunder, flying over this majestic and vast Youyan land.  ¡­ For the soldiers and civilians of Xuanfu¡¯s Shanxi Province, the news that the capital city had fallen on the second day was unexpected. Wen Daxing, the Intelligence Minister of the Protectorate, wanted to take the blame and resign, but Wang Dou refused and accused him of redeeming himself by making meritorious service.  The Ministry of Intelligence paid close attention to the situation in the capital, and it was natural that the thieves' pursuit of stolen goods and subsidies could not escape their eyes. They collected information carefully and published it in the Xuanfu Times.  Like a thunder, what the bandits did in the capital was immediately spread by newspapers and quickly spread to Xuanfu Town, Duhufu, Shanxi, and Shaanxi.  "It was made of five trees and prepared with extremely cruel poison" "The thieves went from house to house to steal money, and every family was drained" "Women were defiled in large numbers, and the people howled without tears" "Hanged to death, the soldiers and the people looked at each other.  I regret everything" "I opened the door to welcome the thief, but I regret it today." The newspaper said it in detail, the length of it was shocking, and it was horrifying to watch and listen to.  Even "Sunrise East" and "My Favorite Jin Ping Mei", who often opposed each other in newspapers, also spoke in unison, condemning the thieves as crazy.  If they hate honorable officials and corrupt officials have their own reasons, why don't they even spare ordinary people?  How could the people be so innocent that they should suffer this disaster?  The Xuanzhen Times was originally published every six days. After the issue of recovering stolen property and paying wages was published, new content came out every day, revealing various details, causing uproar after another in Xuanfu Town.   Yanqing Prefecture is still so prosperous. There are old literati and gentry in this place, as well as the families of officials and officials from outside. There are many wealthy businessmen. The Manfulou Teahouse near the Chenghuang Temple has been even more crowded recently. After listening to the storyteller reading the newspaper above, the teahouse was full of people.  All the guests sighed.  One person sighed: "The people in the capital are so pitiful, and the thieves are really crazy." Another person sneered: "Poor? Poor people must be hateful. Didn't you hear what the newspaper said, at the beginning, all the officials and people in the capital wanted to welcome the thieves?  He said, "When the traitors arrive, I will open the door and invite them in." Well, now that the door is open, have you achieved satisfactory results? " Another person also said: "With the strength of the capital, as long as the army and the people are united,  Not to mention a year and a half, even if the defense was idle for several years, how could the capital fall in two days? The fall of the capital in two days was the result of the joint efforts of the officials and the people. What they sow will reap what they have done. Everything they have experienced is their own fault.  " The man from before sighed, and some of the old literati and gentry sitting in the teahouse were also silent. After they immigrated to Xuanfu, although they became more and more integrated into the whole, they were not without dissatisfaction in their hearts and had no sympathy for the Dashun regime in the capital.  Have expectations.  But now all their expectations are gone, leaving only horror and inner happiness.  ¡­ ¡­ Datong Town, Lingqiu County, Wenchangge Wuyamen Street Stage.  After the storyteller finished singing the newspaper above, another theatrical troupe began to perform "The Event in Beijing". All the tightly packed audience below shed tears, and many people even burst into tears.  The stall owner looked at the stall owner with his head tilted up. Hearing the sound of the customer paying the bill, he hurriedly wiped away his tears and hurriedly collected the money.  He heard several customers sitting in the stall, and one of them was dumbfounded and said: "How couldIn this way, doesn't it mean that the rebels were not on duty, did not pay for food, and had strict military discipline, so Qiu did not commit any crimes?  " A person next to him sneered: "This is just a thief's evil words to confuse the public. They are used to hypocrisy, but now they can't pretend anymore, so they show up.  " Someone else sneered: "It's true that I'm not a jobber and don't pay for food, so I have no money or rice, so I have to live by robbing.  Now the most capable person in the Ming Dynasty is the Marquis Yongning. Under his rule, everyone has to pay grain and taxes. How can a traitor be so virtuous that he dare not pay grain?  " Others looked at him and said unkindly: "Sun Sanlang, are you still looking forward to robbing thieves as before?  Be careful of thieves coming, can your mother-in-law be saved?  " Sun Sanlang sat blankly, turning a deaf ear to the cynicism and sarcasm of everyone. His expression was dull, and his face was blank. "Looking at how he was dressed, he came from a poor family, with a look of anger on his face. Such people are the most dissatisfied with reality, and they are the same as in the past.  Looking at the main force of the Chuang Army, looking at his current appearance, it can be seen that the hope in his heart has been shattered, and he is left in a state of panic and confusion "  No, don¡¯t take away my family¡¯s rice. This is the last ration of food in the family. Without the whole family, we will starve to death" "Please, Master Tianbing, don¡¯t take away our daughter"  The troupe was performing on the stage, and the woman on the stage was crying with sorrow and despair, which was heart-breaking. The villagers below were also crying bitterly Such troupe scenes were staged in various places, including Guihua City and Taiyuan.  Government, Pingyang Mansion, and even some places in Shaanxi, etc., combined with reading newspapers and singing newspapers, attracted huge audiences wherever they went, and caused an extremely strong response. Now even some old ladies in the countryside know something about Beijing.  , knowing that the traitor has a human face and a beast's heart, it is not a good thing. Of course, the Xuanfu Times is rich in content. It not only talks about the traitor, but also talks about the slave traitor approaching the pass again, but it mainly talks about the traitor in the capital.  , chasing stolen goods for payment, robbing the people and other details to expose their faces and dispel the people's luck. As for the Tatars There is no need to publicize them. These are ordinary people. The Ministry of Intelligence treats them from newspapers, theater troupes, etc.  Propaganda. As for the gentry and officers in Xuanfu Town, Duhufu, Shanxi and other places, they have enough financial resources to buy newspapers, and they are also very concerned about the affairs in Beijing. Naturally, they read every issue of the newspaper.  , they were also very shocked. In fact, they had vaguely heard about the thieves in Beijing, but they didn't know as detailed as the newspapers. The length of the article was so immersive and horrifying that they were also the ones who felt the most about the thieves in Beijing.  They couldn't imagine what they would do if they would one day do the same thing when they tortured the gentry. Once upon a time, they had mixed feelings when the convection thieves came to the capital. Some people privately discussed whether the Ming Dynasty had run out of energy.  , should they surrender to welcome the new master, change the government, and live a new life? But now, they have no thoughts. As the propaganda in newspapers spread to all directions, the reactions from various places were like shock, disbelief, fear, etc., and finally merged into one.  Voice. Send troops to exterminate the traitors! We cannot let the tragedy in the capital also happen in Xuanfu, Shanxi and other places. While the traitors are still in the capital, we must take action first.  There has never been a day when everyone's thoughts were so unified. Regardless of gender, age, or class, everyone had the same thought, and that was to wipe out the traitors. For a time, Yongning Hou Wangdou's actions attracted everyone's attention.  Everyone is asking, when will Yongning Hou send troops?  ¡­ On the seventh day of April, in the General¡¯s Mansion in Xuanfu Town, the Yongning Marquis Wang Dou, who everyone was looking forward to, was calmly writing something.  Although Wang Dou went to Guihua City to serve as the Chief Protector of the Protectorate, he still retained the General's Mansion in Xuanfu Town. It was still the same as it was before.  Especially after the Wenliu bandits captured the capital, his headquarters headquarters moved to Xuanfu Town.  At this time, in his public room, on the huge and thick desk, Wang Dou was writing something in a thick book with hundreds of entries, and Wang Dou was meditating on a few entries.  He looked at one of the items: " There are townships in the county, and security guards in the countryside. The heads of each township are appointed by their superiors, and they are treated as the ninth grade. There is a patrol station in each township, and the patrol chiefs are treated as the ninth grade"  He thought about it and changed it to the fact that the township chief and the security chief were appointed by superiors. The security chief was also not recommended by the trustees and enjoyed the treatment of the ninth grade  There were originally about fifteen to twenty people in the clerk's office of each township, but the number was changed to twenty to thirty.  One of the shortcomings of Ming Dynasty¡¯s decline and fall is that the imperial power did not go to the countryside.  When the Qing troops entered the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were thousands of resisters. However, due to the lack of organization, the local volunteers eventually became a mob. How could they be the opponents of the organized and elite Qing troops?  Therefore, it is particularly important for the imperial power to go to the countryside and organize households to unite the people.  As for the fact that the township chief and the security chief are not elected by the local patrons, this is because they are afraid that the township power will eventually be controlled by powerful local people.  "After all, most people are ignorant and short-sighted, and they have the gene of being timid and fearful of trouble. If they can't stand out, they won't stand out. The final result is that local political affairs fall into the hands of powerful people. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of the appointment of superiors, so that from the central to the local government, like an arm and a finger.  He looked at the source of local funds. It turned out that funds were allocated from the central government. After thinking about it, he changed it and wrote: "Local farmers and others will only maintain regular taxes and be exempted from all miscellaneous taxes. However, mining operations, etc. will be nationalized and left to local governments."  The government operates it itself. Fifty percent of the profits are turned over to the state treasury, and the remainder is used for local retention, operating funds and official dividends. "In terms of education, he changed it to: "There should be at least one primary school in each township and at least one high school in each province.  "Education is very important and cannot be underestimated. Now there are multiple primary schools in each township in Xuanfu Town. Originally, Wang Dounian had left everything to be done in the Ming Dynasty. There was no hard and fast rule on the number of primary schools in each township. Now that he thinks about it, it must be hard.  .  He also looked at the training of former Ming Dynasty officials and generals. All of them need to attend the Xuanfu Town Military Academy and the Civilian Academy for training, which lasts from six months to one year.  During the training period, they must also go to Xuanfu Town, Duhufu, and Jingbian Army to "observe government affairs". Only those who pass the test can be placed as officials and generals in various places in the Ming Dynasty.  The Ming Dynasty also had regulations on "observing government", but they were all Jinshi talents, and they were only apprentices in the central ministry, not grassroots experience. Looking at the overall situation, most of what you can learn is how to "be an official" rather than "do things"  , so the effect is not good and must be changed.  The article originally said "Military Academy, Civil Academy is called the Capital". Wang Dou thought for a while and changed it to write: "Still living in the same place." Xuanfu Town, Duhufu and other places are still regarded as influential places.  It is better to export advanced culture.  He looked at the training list for the first period at the back of this article, which showed the treatment and fate of some people.  "Wang Pu, after training, was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If he doesn't obey, he will be punished." "Wang Pu's father, Wang Wei, was transferred to the Staff Department after training. If he does not obey, he will be punished." "Wu Sangui, if you turn the switch on, Wu will be punished."  The two ancestors have not switched. After training, they will be transferred to the northwest. If they don't obey, they will be punished. " " Sun Kewang, after training, they will be transferred to the northwest. If they don't obey, they will be punished.  "Zheng Zhilong, after training, was transferred to the south, and he joined the army to conquer Nanyang. If he did not follow, he would be punished." "Zheng Chenggong, after training, he would conquer the east and drive out the Dutch. If he did not follow, he would be punished."  Wang Dou looked at the names of Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong for a long time. He wanted to change it to "disobey, pardon", but in the end he kept "punish" unchanged.  There is also the following article: "Take the two capitals and thirteen provinces, Monan, and Liaodong as the Divine State, and prohibit all fiefdoms in the Divine State. Set up the Anxi Protectorate, and attack and plunder the Caspian Sea. The Anbei Protectorate, attack and plunder  It ranges from the Arctic Ocean to the Arctic Ocean. The Anton Protectorate is set up to plunder Eastern Pan, Australia, Hawaii and the west coast of North America. The Annan Protectorate is set up to plunder Southeast Asia, India and other places. " "This is a century-old goal to mobilize the people's power.  , mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, establish a system of feudal lords, and reward those who have outstanding achievements. Anyone who conquers 10,000 square kilometers of land for the country will be rewarded with 10 square kilometers of land, about 15,000 acres, one village, and a knighthood.  "Whoever conquers one hundred thousand square kilometers of land for the country will be rewarded with one hundred square kilometers of land, which is about the size of a village." "Whoever conquers one million square kilometers of land for the country will be rewarded with one thousand square kilometers of land."  "Regardless of origin, regardless of family members, regardless of gender, all meritorious people will be rewarded. The maximum land limit is one county, and the upper limit of the land is 5,000 square kilometers." "The upper limit of the lord's military strength is 1,000.  , it has personnel power and economic autonomy, but it needs to pay taxes to the central government, and it has no educational and diplomatic rights. In terms of law, it can have some local laws, but the supreme law is the central law.  In the event of a conflict, the central law is superior to the local law in the territory. " "In addition, the lord is subject to central official positions, military positions, and political orders. He enjoys titles and other benefits in peacetime, and is subject to military positions in war. " Wang Dou looked at this, and the Central Plains dynasties.  Throughout the ages, we have always been unable to expand externally.?A lot, but it has not mobilized the enthusiasm of the people. This is for sure.  Therefore, when the Central Plains is strong, it expands, but when it is weak, its territory shrinks a lot.  As strong as the Tang Dynasty, when the territory is the highest, the west to Xianhai, but when we are weak  In the past, Western Regions Wanli Xinjiang, but now the border is in Fengxiang.  There are many reasons for conquering a land but not occupying it. However, the people did not benefit from the expansion of the dynasty. On the contrary, every time there was military service, some people lost their families and property. Therefore, everyone shouted that the army was in danger and the war was in danger. The army was in danger and the war was in danger. They regarded expansion as a  Hard work.  On the other hand, Western countries are constantly expanding their territories and colonies because their citizens are also benefiting from the expansion, so naturally everyone is active.  Therefore, Wang Dou established the fiefdom lord system in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people. Although there will be worries in the future, the advantages obviously outweigh the disadvantages.  And even if these places do not belong to the Central Plains territory in the future, they will still be part of the Han cultural circle, and it will be easy to form an economic, military and cultural alliance in the future.  Expanding and occupying a land requires a large number of people. Wang Dou looked at the source of the population behind this. In addition to encouraging immigration, there was also exile.  He looked at the words above: "The prison was established five times and 1.5 million people were exiled from Jiangnan." He looked at it for a long time and thought about it for a long time, and finally changed it to: "The prison was established seven times and 200 people were exiled from Jiangnan.  "Wang Dou looked at them one by one, then he lit a cigarette and smoked it.  His eyes are deep and his expression is calm. The magnificent epic and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers all bloom in his writing.  Every sentence, or even every word, he wrote was related to the fate of thousands of people, but he just wrote and changed it calmly.  (~^~)
