  Chapter 567 564【Civil strife and uprising】

  Shenyang, Hou Zhai.

  Feng Quan said in a low voice: "Mr. Ruogu, the puppet Qing Dynasty and the Han officials are all waiting for you to make up your mind!"

   "What can I think?" Hou Xun asked back.

"The world has been owned by the Han people since ancient times. How can there be any barbarians who can stay in the gods for a long time? No matter how prosperous the Mongol Yuan army is, it will not last a hundred years. The Jurchens and Tartar slaves dare to establish a country and proclaim themselves emperor in a corner," Feng Quan said indignantly, "This is so special. It's a ridiculous thing, and it makes people angry. I wait for Confucian students to read the books of sages, and I know the way of sages. Before I surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, I was in Cao Ying and my heart was in Han. Now I should rise up secretly to meet the heavenly soldiers!"

  Hou Xun sarcastically said: "It seems that you are also the one who urged Dorgon to issue the shaving order?"

   "That's what Sun Zhixie did, and it has nothing to do with me." Feng Quan refused to admit it.

  Hou Xun said again: "During the Central Plains War, you were also the one who recruited Zuo Liangyu for the Tartars?"

  Feng Quan shook his head again and again: "I was ordered to go as an envoy, but it was just to gain the trust of the Tartars and facilitate the incident in Shenyang today."

  Hou Xun sighed: "You are trying to kill me!"

"Why do you say that, Mister?" Feng Quan was puzzled, "Mr.'s brothers and nephews are all officials in the Datong New Dynasty. If Mister rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Shenyang and echoed his clansmen, wouldn't he be a loyal minister of our Datong court? For a good story!"

   "Hey, I should have escaped earlier, so as not to get in touch with you idiots." Hou Xun looked frustrated.

  Feng Quan was about to say more, when there was a sudden commotion in the street, and then Hou's house became lively.

  Baoyi Xindali, a Korean national, took the firearms battalion of the Manchu House of Internal Affairs with him, rushed into the house and started arresting people.

  Feng Quan was horrified, and quickly shouted: "I am a man of the regent. Without the order of the regent, you slaves must not arrest me!"

   "I came here on the emperor's order. Could it be that the regent is stronger than your majesty!" Xin Dali smiled contemptuously, "Hold tight to the prison, he will be tortured, and he must confess his accomplices!"

  A generation of traitors, mainly high-ranking civil officials and rich gentry.

  The second generation of traitors, mainly senior generals.

  Three generations of traitors, most of them were middle and high-level civil officials, and many of them were cronies promoted by Dorgon.

  Nowadays, the second generation of traitors are fighting outside, and they have lost the battle. One generation of traitors took the opportunity to attack the third generation of traitors, and they will be able to monopolize the power of internal affairs from then on.

   Empress Dowager Bumbutai, obviously joined forces with Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo to seize power!

   In order to win over the nobles of the Eight Banners, Dorgon continued to erode the interests of the Two Yellow Banners and distributed them to the other Six Banners. The queen mother was very unhappy, even afraid that her son would be abolished, and now she finally seized the opportunity.

  When Dorgon returns to Shenyang, he will find that his confidants, civil servants, have all been arrested and tortured in prisons. They have all committed the crime of leading the Nanjing court!

  …

  Imperial Palace.

  Shi Tingzhu roared anxiously: "Hurry up and report, I want to see the Queen Mother immediately!"

  Shi Tingzhu came from the Guerjia family. As early as 200 years ago, his ancestors became the border generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they changed their surname to "Shi" from then on. He used to lead the Han army with a red flag, but now he is drawn to the Han army's white flag, and he automatically becomes Dorgon's direct confidant.

  Dorgon left Shi Tingzhu in Shenyang to prevent chaos in the rear.

  But Empress Dowager Da Yuer moved too quickly, and Shi Tingzhu didn't dare to use troops, so he could only bite the bullet and come to see him.

   "The Empress Dowager has an edict, Xuan Shi Tingzhu has an audience!" The **** shouted loudly.

  Shi Tingzhu went in with the eunuch, Da Yuer was holding seven-year-old Fulin, sitting on top with a serious expression. At the bottom of the side, there is a Hanchen sitting on the left and right. It is undoubtedly Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan.

   "Minister Shi Tingzhu, I greet Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!" Shi Tingzhu immediately knelt down.

  Fan Wencheng sneered: "When you see Your Majesty, don't you call yourself a slave? General Shi is a bit too out of touch."

  Ning finished my yin and yang and said strangely: "It is also possible that General Shi's master is not His Majesty."

  Shi Tingzhu felt his scalp go numb, it was forcing him to stand in line.

  Shi Tingzhu boldly said: "The queen mother said, now that we are facing internal and external troubles in the Qing Dynasty, we must not mess up and destroy the Great Wall!"

  After finishing Ning, I still said in a strange way: "Who is the Great Wall? If it is Dorgon, then the Great Wall has been destroyed."

  Fan Wencheng said: "Does General Shi know? Feng Quan, Dorgon's favorite minister, conspired to join forces and wanted to dedicate this Shengjing to the Nanman court. If the general doesn't believe it, he can take a confession and question Feng Quan in person."

  Shi Tingzhu hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, just lying there with his forehead against the carpet.

  Fan Wencheng winked at Dayuer.

  The queen mother immediately said: "Come on!"

   A group of guards came in with their knives in hand and stood neatly behind Shi Tingzhu.

  Shi Tingzhu knew it was irreparable, so he immediately turned his back on Dorgon, knelt down and kowtowed again: "Slave Shi Tingzhu, kowtow to master!"

  Da Yuer smiled and said, "Give a seat to General Shi."

  Fan Wencheng was Huang Taiji's confidant and the proposer of a series of reforms in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Shunzhi succeeded to the throne, Dorgon was regent, and Fan Wencheng became the head of civil servants.

  However, Dorgon reused Gang Lin, Feng Quan, and Qi Yunge, and Fan Wencheng lost the power to discuss politics. Duo Duo occupied Fan Wencheng's wife, and most of them were instructed by Dorgon, and the purpose was nothing more than to beat Fan Wencheng.

  As for Ning Wan and me, this guy offered a lot of advice, but he liked to drink and gamble, and was dismissed by Huang Taiji.

  After Dorgon became regent, Ning Wanwo was reactivated. At that time, I was very grateful to Ning Wan, but in the end, I was thrown away to edit history, and I have been compiling books in the history museum, without giving real power to work at all.

  Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, who have always been patient, finally seized the opportunity this time to join forces with Da Yuer, who felt precarious.

   They did not know how to completely control the military power of the palace, and now they are forcing Shi Tingzhu to stand in line.

  Feng Quan, Sun Zhixie and other big traitors have been beaten to death. Although Hou Xun was not Dorgon's confidant, he was also implicated. Under torture, he was forced to admit that he was a spy sent by Nanjing.

  Gang Lin, Qi Yunge and other Dorgon confidantes were not beaten because of their status as Manchu nobles.

  However, when the traitors were beaten in front of them, Gang Lin and Qi Yunge were terrified, and they all confessed Dorgon's crime of usurpation.

   If you lose a battle and lose your army, you lose everything.

  …

  No one was allowed to enter or leave Shenyang City long ago, but Shi Tingzhu saved his hand and quietly sent someone to Liaoyang to report to Dorgon.

  Da Yuer's messenger also arrived quickly, arriving almost at the same time as Shi Tingzhu's people.

  Dorgon read the secret letter, and the envoy of Emperor Shunzhi arrived.

  The imperial decree has only one meaning: Shengjing is in danger, and the regent is called to return to Beijing immediately!

  Dorgon held back his anger, arranged for the envoy to eat first, and went to see Daishan himself with the imperial decree.

  After explaining the situation, Dorgon said: "The woman in the harem is so short-sighted. I will be detained when I return to Shengjing. Second brother, what do you think?"

  Daishan also has a big head, no matter what time, the queen mother is still playing this hand.

   But they didn't think about it either. The territory of the Manchu and Qing dynasty continued to shrink, and Dorgon continued to erode the interests of the emperor in order to win over the nobles. He even pushed Huang Taiji's confidants out of the decision-making circle one by one. What do the queen mother and the imperial party think?

   There was nothing to do for a while, Daishan comforted him: "You go back to Beijing first, there is no Eight Banners meeting, the queen mother dare not do anything to you."

  Dorgon wanted this sentence, and he left with the emperor's envoy.

  But Dorgon left, and another imperial decree came, this time it was awarded to Daishan, please take charge of the overall situation and become the regent.

   "This is Fan Wencheng's method." Daishan said with emotion.

  The garrison in Shenyang City and the guards of the Shenyang Imperial Palace have all been controlled by Dayuer. If Daishan turned his back on him, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would split. It was absolutely impossible for Daishan to give up the throne in the first place.

  So, let Daishan be the regent, let Daishan and Hauge restrain each other.

  As for the Empress Dowager Dayuer, she seems to want to listen to the government behind the curtain!

   While Daishan was thinking about it, the guards rushed over suddenly: "My lord, it's not good, the Han people outside Liaoyang City are making trouble!"

  …

  Sixty miles south of Liaoyang City, that mountainous area is called Qianshan.

A peasant man in commoner clothes gathered more than 60 peasants and said, "Fellow folks, we have had enough. The old chief Nurhachi is very bad. He even took our Han people into slavery. He would kill us if he couldn't hand over the grain. He is a good man, he gave us land to cultivate. But this Dorgon is like an old slave. He first moved us to Guannei to divide the fields, but after we didn’t grow a few grains, he moved us back to Liaoyang. After a lot of trouble, If you don’t do personnel, the food tax is getting heavier.”

"In the past few years, how many people in our village have died of starvation? How many people have died of freezing? There is also the Chen family. The government urged the grain, and the Chen family gave usury (loan usury). Our farmers had to borrow money and grain from the Chen family. I paid the government a grain tax, but in the end I couldn't pay it back, and half of the village's fields belonged to the Chen family..."

   After talking about it, the farmers were quite angry, and they would starve to death if nothing happened.

  Liaoyang has always been more developed than Shenyang. Why wasn't Nurhachi the capital of Liaoyang? Liaoyang was supposed to be the capital, and the people of Liaoyang supported him very much. But the Han people gradually discovered that the Tartars were worse than the Ming government, so there were frequent riots inside and outside the city.

  Nurhachi finally understood that the development level of Liaoyang was too high, and there were too many Han people in Liaoyang, which could not be digested for a while. So the capital was set in Shenyang, and I was ready to go back to my hometown at any time.

  The peasant man pointed to the person next to him and said, "This is Mr. Li sent by Emperor Zhao of Nanjing. Let Mr. Li say a few words to everyone."

  Mr. Li’s name is Li Maode, with a northeast accent. He has been lurking in Liaodong for three years, and has successively developed offline in eight villages.

Li Maode didn't talk about national righteousness, but told stories to the farmers: "As you can know, the teacher of Emperor Zhao in Nanjing is named Pang, and he is a Han Chinese in Liaodong. Mr. Pang is the emperor's teacher, and now he is the prime minister. But Mr. Pang There was also a catastrophe back then, when the Tartars came and Mr. Pang’s family died tragically. Mr. Pang rolled down the cliff, his eyes were half blind, and his hair was gray all night. A man of thirty years old looks like fifty years old..."

"Mr. Pang is determined to take revenge, not only to avenge his family, but also to avenge the Han people in Liaodong, so that the Han people in Liaodong can live a better life. Mr. Pang took in a student and taught them how to read and fight. This student rebelled against Ming Dynasty. , I became the emperor myself, that is, Emperor Zhao in Nanjing. Emperor Zhao is a student of our Liaodong Han people, so can you not turn to our Liaodong Han people?"

   "Let me tell you how Emperor Zhao became an emperor. He saw that the life of the peasants was miserable, so he treated the peasants well, and led the peasants to kill the landlords and divide the land..."

  These Han peasants were fascinated by the stories. Every time it was mentioned that Emperor Zhao helped the poor, the peasants clapped their hands and applauded, thinking that the emperor was really one of his own.

Li Maode finally said: "The Tartars were defeated in Yaozhou. The Datong army has already occupied Anshan, not far from our place. Fellow villagers, don't wait any longer. We will follow the example of Emperor Zhao and kill the landlord to divide the land and start an uprising." !"

  Everyone suddenly agreed.

   Holding hoes and sticks, they rushed into the Chen family's mansion, killed the landlord to open a warehouse to release grain, and quickly gathered hundreds of uprising troops.

   Then, he went up the mountain to kill Zuyue Temple and killed more than ten monks including the abbot. Continuing to open warehouses to release grain, many low-level monks joined the group, and immediately went out to find other landlords and Manchu farms.

  In more than half a month, the peasant uprising team grew to more than 3,000 people and swept the southern and western villages of Liaoyang.
