Chapter 27 (7) Those who disobey orders will be decapitated

Wang Fuchen arrived in Jiangning with Hong Chengchou on his back. As soon as he arrived, he heard the sound of swords and wind from all sides. Thirty-six volunteers came to attack Lao Hong in an endless stream. These thirty-six groups of people are divided into the first twelve groups, the middle twelve groups, the rear twelve groups, the official twelve groups, the ten bandit groups and the twelve people's groups.Among them was the Fifth Army of the Northern Expedition led by Huang Daozhou, a former scholar of the Ming Dynasty... In short, the flames of war were raging everywhere, and Lao Hong was addicted to it.

But these thirty-six groups of people are out-and-out volunteers. In history, there are many rebels. No matter who raises an army, he will claim to be a rebel. If he wins, he will be a rebel.Dare to say that he is not a rebel?Kill your whole family—but in fact, the real rebels have no chance of winning. Basically, they are wiped out by the unjust army as soon as they show up. why? Because of the righteous army, you must pay attention to morality.The three major disciplines and the eight precautions must not be forgotten. If you don’t take the masses every needle and thread, don’t move the masses, every plant and tree, and you are not allowed to bully women... But the rebels are thirsty and hungry, so who will take care of it?

No one cares about you, whether it is a righteous army or an unrighteous army, no one cares about this matter. But the unrighteous army can rob and kill, and can justifiably force the common people to pay taxes, but the rebel army cannot do that.If the rebels are thirsty, they will find water to drink by themselves; if they are hungry, they will find ways to make money and buy food... This makes it clear that the so-called rebels are mostly just acts of righteous indignation. Without reinforcements, if you want to fight against an organized violent group like the Qing soldiers, you will basically hit a stone with an egg, and you will lose but you will not win.

In other words, the so-called Thirty-Six Route Volunteers are just thirty-six groups of demonstrators, who cannot withstand the attack and killing of violent groups. Just because Dorgon understood this truth, the imperial edict he drew up for Xiao Shunzhi was to let Hong Chengchou appease Jiangnan instead of conquering Jiangnan. Jiangnan does not need to be conquered, because Jiangnan does not have a systematic anti-Qing layout, it is a spontaneous resistance movement by the people and the government. It is precisely for this reason that the great poet Wu Meicun wrote "Songshan Sorrow" in the fifth year of Shunzhi, and indulged in the irresistible historical trend:

Draw a sword and lean on a pillar, there is no reason to be sad, and sing Songshan generously for the king!Lulong meanders eastward to enter the sea, standing on a pillar as a majestic pass.The barriers of the city continue to go away, and the mountains are full of abrupt smoke peaks.There is a military plate of fortified stones in it, and the white bones support it to resist Ling Yu.One hundred and thirty thousand soldiers died on the same day, and the blood of the Hunhe River increased.How can there be no changes in the world, changes in an instant, and the birth is worrying and laboring, and the generals are born, and the barbarians are built and re-entered the altar.Still remembering the old episodes of the past, sighing and breaking my heart.

Alas!On the first night of the city of Xuantu, the trumpets were blown, and the sound of the murderous army vibrated the few corridors.Once all the achievements have been made, Jinqiu straddles the horse to conquer Fule.Looking back at the Tianshan Mountains, basil grows long, and the fireworks are depressed and there is little cultivation.In the setting sun of the abandoned base, no one can be seen, and thousands of ghosts are left alone to fill the loneliness.If the mountains and rivers are so idle, I don't know what to fight for the strong and the weak!I heard that the imperial court read the old Beijing, and the imperial edict recruited spring farming.The young men and young men in the two rivers are exhausted, and the homeland of Sanfu is light.Niubei farmer's branch sent it off, and the cock crowed and the customs officials ordered frequently.If I had known that working together today, it’s a pity that the people in the Central Plains are farming and fighting!

Poor people who work in farming and fighting in the Central Plains—although the resistance is not systematic, there are more than half a million troops in the Ming Dynasty, just He Tengjiao in Hunan; General Hao Yaoqi and other famous generals.In addition to the government and civilian volunteers in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Zhejiang and other places, there will be no less than one million people! The most terrible thing is that at this juncture, Dorgon added to the chaos and issued an order to shave his hair: keep his head but not his hair, keep his hair but not his head.This is called Shangguo Yiguan, who was reduced to barbarians, and as a result, there was a great uproar in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with righteous banners everywhere and wars everywhere.Can Hong Chengchou win such a massive hostile situation?

It doesn't matter.Hong Chengchou said: "Anyone who disobeys orders will be beheaded." He is qualified to say this now because he has 200,000 troops in his hands. The leaders of these 200,000 people include Li Benchen, Li Chengdong, Jin Shenghuan, and Wang Huairen... All these people have a famous name in history—peasant rebel army, representing the most advanced productive forces. But in fact, they are the Green Battalion of the Qing Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. It has been from the very beginning—the original rogues are just their temporary identities. Sooner or later, they will eventually serve the alien race.

The beheading operation officially began. Hong Chengchou sacrificed a lore weapon that only Wang Zuozhi could use after he had practiced. Li Chengdong.
