Twenty-four two, not afraid of being smashed to pieces (10)

Sometimes, when a delicate lady from an official family rejected a beautiful and beautiful Jinshi scholar, she was unable to be selected into the Hanlin Academy and became a noble person because she was ranked low in the palace examination. However, when she was raped by a black, ugly, short and vulgar criminal immediately, she could only give up for her whole life.

This tragic story is enough to express the current psychology of the people of Yanjing.

When they were excited about the upcoming dynasty change in the streets and alleys, they wrote on the palace gate that "If you don't stay here, you will stay at your place." They believed out of no way that the war would stop after the King of Chuang came. As long as Zhu Ming left, no one had to be upset about the death of the death of the war, and anyone could exhale the anger of the price of food... As a result, the King of Chuang arrived as scheduled, and did not disturb the lives of the common people, but they came and went in a hurry. When they left, they tore off their gentle veil, as if Zhu Bajie had exposed his true face.

What followed was the Donglu soldiers with strange hairstyles.

Back then, people spent money to buy Yuan Chonghuan's meat and hated him to the core. Isn't it because Yuan Chonghuan's weak resistance to the Jin Dynasty? Isn't it because Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning cavalry followed the Jiannu army and refused to attack? Is it because the Eastern Captains killed and plundered the people in the capital to wear mourning and every household was covered with hemp?

It has only been fifteen years since many victims are still alive, but no one thought of avenging this bloody revenge. As long as the Donglu can leave their hair and heads, they can be safe and sound as good people.

Is it because of forgetfulness?

No, it’s just because of the four words that Hong Chengchou pointed out: the people’s minds are at peace.

No matter who becomes the emperor, as long as the people can live a peaceful life.

So, whether it is the King of Chuang or the Eastern Barbarians, since they have occupied Yanjing, let’s live a good life. It may not be worse than the Emperor of "Restoration"?

The truth is: worse.

Dorgon issued a land enclosure order.

Zhu Cilang's butterfly wings finally blew a whirlwind that was enough to affect the direction of history in June of the 17th year of Chongzhen.

The links here are:

The first ring: Because of the timely plague prevention policy, the "hiding rich people" before leaving the capital, and the intentional exaggeration of Zhengyi Taoist priests, a belief in Taiweixingjun was created in the capital, which was worshipped by the Dharma body before the crown prince descended to earth - a middle-aged god who gathered the characteristics of King Yue and Emperor Guan. This soon caused concern among the Manchu nobles, and they became increasingly inclined to strictly implement the "head shaving order" to control the people's thoughts from the outside and from the inside.

The second ring: With such pressure, the people of Gyeonggi took their families and fled south. Whether they went to Shandong to seek shelter or went directly to Nanzhili, it was much better than staying in Gyeonggi to shave their hair.

For Manchurians, population is a means of production, property with two legs. No matter which banner owner is, it is impossible to sit and see the property in his pocket escape. Therefore, the law on arresting fugitives was put on the agenda, and the reason why it was not implemented immediately was because there was one missing link in the middle - name-stop division.

Only by determining the correspondence between property and owner can the identity of the "fledged person" be determined, and the recovered fugitive can be returned to his master.

So there is a third ring:

The Qing Dynasty government was never willing to use a lot of manpower and material resources to form households and people like Zhu Cixuan. Their method was simpler and more efficient: to enclose land.

In his edict, Dorgon said that due to years of war and many wastelands in the capital, the Eight Banners were allowed to occupy it.

However, as soon as this circle of land was released, the people below didn't care whether they had a master. Most of them couldn't even understand Chinese, so how could they have the patience to read Chinese characters? All the banners were heading for good land. As long as they played the lower realm card before other brands, they would be considered as the land of the banner.

At the beginning, some flags were quite polite, but they drove away the people on the land. Later, everyone was so angry that the Suo family had taken over the land. The land was the property of the property, and people became slaves under the property. Since the Warring States Period, China began to liberate serfs into self-cultivated farmers and improve productivity. Now, under the iron hoofs of the Qing Dynasty, the people have become serfs.

...

"Brother Wenquan! Good thing! Great thing!" Huang Desu stepped down and quickly walked into Zhang Ren's house.

Zhang Ren put down the book in his hand, raised his head numbly and said, "What else can be good about this world now?"

"The East Palace will recruit 200 civil servants with minor crimes, and go to Qing, Ji, Yan and Dong to serve as county officials! Those who have made great contributions in the exam can be pardoned for their previous crimes and will still be promoted!" Huang Desu rubbed his hands happily and said, "I have already inquired. The so-called minor crimes will be done as long as they are not from the hard labor class!"

Zhang Ren stood up, his feet were quite floating, his eyes were swollen, but he said, "Brother Cong'an, why do you only know one thing but not the other?"

Huang Desu was quite surprised and said, "Is there anything else I have to do with? "

Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "In the six prefectures in Shandong Province, except Deng and Lai, which of the other four prefectures are not located on the north-south transportation route? Especially Dongchang Prefecture, it is the key point of the key point, and it is also a prosperous place for smoke and willows. The Eastern Palace does not go with its own line, but instead recruits criminal officials. Isn't this obvious? It's a trick to kill people with a knife!"

"Not to say..." Huang Desu frowned slightly.

"I just ask one question, how should the Eastern Captains arrive? Arrival? Leave?" Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows and his face was filled with sadness: "The Eastern Palace does not want to bear the bad reputation of being cruel tortured men, so he came up with this poisonous plan!"

Huang Desu was extinguished in an instant and said, "I always feel that it is not like this... But what Brother Wenquan said makes sense, let's take a look."

"Brother Cong'an," Zhang Ren said in a low voice, "I also heard that the Eastern Palace has the intention of being reckless..."

"Shh!" Huang Desu quickly suppressed his voice: "Be careful of your words, be careful of your words!"

...

"No policy can be thought of." Zhu Cixuan convened a meeting of local officials above the prefecture in the office to assign current civil affairs tasks. He said: "Dorgon only knows how to treat the head when he is a headache and a foot when he is a foot when he is a headache. Once this circle of land is opened, it will inevitably become even more anxious."

The land enclosure seemed to meet the needs of the vast number of Manchu and Qing aristocrats to share the fruits of victory. The original historical script was indeed promulgated in December of the first year of Shunzhi. It was said that "no examples are used", and the circle was not stopped until the 24th year of Kangxi. At that time, there was almost no civil land near Kinki, and all the people became Eight Banners serfs.

However, the current situation is that the land enclosure order was issued in the early morning for half a year, and the external environment is very different.

First of all, Li Zicheng's Shun Army was not defeated yet and was still peeping at Northern Zhili in Shanxi.

Secondly, Jirgalang and Emperor Shunzhi who were left behind had not moved to Yanjing. When they arrived, the good land must have been encircled. They will inevitably have the best profits from the two brothers Dorgon and Duoduo. How can we not make people jealous?

After the land was established, the Eight Banners nobles naturally refused to send troops to fight easily. They were afraid that once they left, the land they surrounded would be snatched away by other banners.

And those nobles who were not enclosed or had few enclosed areas were even more unwilling to send troops easily - why did I not get much benefits, but I had to do what I had to do with my life? Wars will kill people, and their people are the private property of the nobles. Even if they grab the population and land, they have to calculate whether the transaction will benefit. What if the land they captured is enclosed by others? Wouldn’t it be a loss of both people and money?

Before determining the title, the Manchus would have to slander the lawsuit in front of Dorgon. This is the most lovely part of the Eight Banners system. They still have the special surnames of tribes and tribal alliances, and are not a completely centralized organization. If Huang Taiji lived for another twenty years, the situation might be very different. However, Dorgon, who is now in power, is also the owner of the banner, and of course he would not do stupid things to weaken himself.

"As long as Dorgon is not sure about the land acquisition and the distribution of the spoils of the war in the aftermath of the Republic, the Manchu army will not launch a large-scale move." Zhu Cixuan said: "And at least before the summer harvest, the front line of Datong Xuanfu could not afford the supply of food and grass for the army to pass through."

When the army passed by, the private warehouse might still be able to hide some of the grain, but the food in the public warehouse would definitely not be left behind. The reason why Li Zicheng withdrew from Jingxing to Shanxi was because he knew that he had entered Beijing from Sanguan all the way, and there was no food left along the way. Ren Jirong and Li You had not many people, so he should be able to even out part of it for him.
