Chapter 445

After the Qing army occupied Hebei, more than 100,000 Eight Banners and hundreds of thousands of relatives wanted to have a meal.

In order to solve the food supply, the Eight Banners nobles immediately ran to grab land.

Each banner occupied the land of the people, turned the land of the people into flag fields, forcing the people to become slaves, and planting the fields for the Eight Banners.

The Qing army adopted the serf system in Hebei, oppressing the people and taking away most of the food they obtained to ensure the total of the Eight Banners, while ordinary people were constantly exhausted and starved to death.

Although the people of Hebei were dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to resist in the face of the suppression of the Qing army.

At this time, in Hebei, Guangping Prefecture, and Handan County.

Outside the county town, inside a banner village, a thin flag slave was drying the grain at the urging of the steward.

"Hurry up! I can't finish it! You are not allowed to eat today!" A man wearing a jacket and carrying a full range of whips in his hand, showing a arrogant look.

The thin flag slave used a basket to carry the grains in the granary into the gravel field.

The Qing army adopted the economic recovery methods used by the Qing army to enter the pass were completely different from Gao Huan.

Gao Huan distributed the land to refugees, provided seeds and farm tools, and then collected taxes, and paid 30% to the people.

The Qing army took all the land for themselves, and then turned some of the people into flag slaves, and all the harvests were owned by each flag.

In these two methods, who gets more food, in fact, the food that the Qing army can collect is no less than the land tax collected by Gao Huan.

The Qing army relied on oppressing banner slaves and forced the people to work with cruel means. Their model was like the system of serfs on the farm. The farmers like the Eight Banners naturally made a lot of money? They didn't even have to spend money to buy serfs? They just made the people in Hebei suffer.

At this time, the flag slaves were busy? Suddenly someone stood up and looked at the sky in the south.

The steward of the coat immediately whipped, "Dog Man? You dare to be lazy! I will beat you to death!"

The whip was slapping, and the flag slaves were slapped on the ground? The wailing rolled.

In the farm? There are many flag slaves who are beaten to death every month and cannot endure torture and hang themselves to commit suicide? Anyway, new flag slaves are sent to them every once in a while, constantly replenishing the consumed flag slaves.

At this time, Baoyi was fighting hard, but the flag slaves on the sankram suddenly exclaimed and scattered.

A team of cavalry rushed into the flag farm from outside? The cavalry opened their bows and shot the archery guarding the gate of the cavalry to death? They directly attacked the sanitary ground.

Baoyi was shocked to hear the sound of horse hooves, and turned her head to see it. She was shocked.

A few thick smoke rose in the sky south? A team of ferocious evil spirits? Red-armored cavalry with a sharp iron ghost face rushed into the cavalry house, and saw the coat full of clothes and stabbed to death with a spear, neatly.

Before Baoyi could react, a sharp spearhead of a cavalry gun pierced his chest, knocking him back and hitting him hard on the ground, and dying so hard that he could not die again.

At this time, the cavalry suddenly strangled the war horses, and their horse's hooves hung in the air, and stopped in front of the beheaded flag slave.

The flag slave blocked his head and eyes with his arms in horror. After a while, he found that the war horse was not stepping on him, so he moved his arm away and saw from bottom to top that the mighty war horse and the mighty ghost-faced rider were shining under the noon sun.

For a moment, the flag slave was foolish and thought it was a heavenly soldier.

At this time, the leader of the Chibei Captain pulled out the reins of the horse, looked at the flag slaves hiding around the sanitary yard, and shouted loudly: "We are the Liang army and Duke Liang! You will divide the food and then escape on your own!"

After saying that, the cavalry prepared the torch and wanted to burn the flag farm.

The flag slaves were enslaved for a long time and were a little numb and did not respond for a while.

The Captain Chibei could only shake his head and reminded him again as he was at other flag farms, "Don't stand there, otherwise we will burn all the food!"

The flag slave who reacted immediately found bags, baskets and carts, scrambling for food, while the Red Army began to ignite houses and warehouses.

Soon, the Red Cavalry rushed north and reminded him before leaving: "My fellow villagers, all run towards Taihang Mountain! Avoid the Tartars catching up with you!"

After speaking, the cavalry rode away.

The beheaded flag slave watched the cavalry head north, but he was alone, with some food, and chased the cavalry.

The Red Cavalry rushed into Hebei, posted a manifesto of Gao Huan's attack on the Qing Dynasty, and also wrote a letter to the military and civilians of Hebei.

This letter to the military and civilians in Hebei has greatly boosted the Qing Dynasty's officialdom. When officials from various prefectures and counties saw the red cavalry passing through the border and burning the flags and villages outside the city, they did not dare to send troops to stop or pursue them, for fear that the Ming Dynasty would write a black letter after its name.

For a time, the Red Horse Army scattered across the Hebei Plain. Countless liberated flag slaves fled to the Taihang Mountains and set up a mountain village.

Many prefectures and counties saw the Liang cavalry entering Hebei, and saw Gao Huan's manifesto, thinking that the Ming army was going north to make a big move, so they immediately raised the Ming flag and announced their surrender to the Liang army.

In Hebei, when the anti-Qing army learned that the Liang army had entered Hebei, they became active and began to attack prefectures and counties.

Before leaving, Gao Huan gave Xu Heihu and Hao Yaoqi a hundred blank letters of appointment from Liang Guo, and asked the two to send them to Hebei Yishi and officials anyway.

For a moment, the situation in Hebei was turbulent. The two led the cavalry all the way north, and almost encountered no resistance. They were blocked by the Hutuo River until they reached the territory of Zhending Prefecture.

Although there were no Qing army guards on the other side of the river, all the ferries were taken away by the Qing army.

Just when the two were worried, a team of people suddenly appeared on the north bank.

The Red Horse Army saw a crowd of people coming from the north bank, with many flags mixed in it. When the crowd arrived on the other side, the Red Horse Army suddenly discovered that the other party was fighting the "Ming" flag.

"Is Duke Liang's men opposite?"

The crowd came to the shore, and the leader shouted directly.

Xu Heihu rode on the horse, and an officer around him answered proudly: "Yes, we are the Liang army! Where are you from and which team are you?"

More than a thousand people on the other side of the shore, and when they heard the reply, they were filled with joy.

At this time, someone immediately shouted across the river: "General! We are the Hebei Yishi. We were the old commander of General Zhou Yuji!"

Xu Heihu was overjoyed when he heard the words, Hao Yaoqi was more cautious and told the soldiers not to relax.

The rebel army soon sent people to cross the river, and asked someone to find boats and rafts to help the Chibei horse army cross the river, and guided them all the way, leading the Chibei army into Baoding Prefecture and heading straight to Beijing.

At this time, there was already a panic in the city of Beijing, and the gentry and people in the city were rumored to be rumored. Gao Huan will lead troops to the north, and the letter to the military and civilians in Hebei was also spread in the city.

For a moment, the gentry who had not won the Qing Dynasty gave up the Qing Dynasty's intention, while the Qing Dynasty thought about how to achieve meritorious results.

In Beijing, undercurrents and panic spread among the Eight Banners' family members.

When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the young man was against the big one. He was not confident in his heart. Seeing the rebels in Hebei everywhere and the prefectures and counties rebelled, many people immediately panicked.

Jirgalang and others accused Dorgon of his plan to enter the pass, which was a wrong choice, intending to excuse Haoge's defeat.

On that day, Qing soldiers were patrolling back and forth in Beijing, and suddenly a sound of galloping hooves came from afar.

The Qing soldiers on the city saw a small group of Qing army scouts galloping over and running directly into the city. Behind them, thousands of cavalry raised rolling yellow dust and appeared in the outskirts of Beijing.

"It's Liang Jun's Red Bar!"

"Close the city gate quickly!"

The emergency alarm bell rang out.

In the city of Beijing, the people hid in their homes and talked a lot.

"What's going on with the head of the family?"

"I heard that the Ming army has fought back!"

In the palace, Daishan, Jirgalang and others looked gloomy.

Jiergalang said in a deep voice: "The Liang army launched a large-scale northern expedition, and all Hebei prefectures and counties rebelled. I think that I should not have been in a hurry to enter the pass at the beginning. If I adhere to Taizong's strategy to destroy the Ming Dynasty, my Qing Dynasty would not be so disgusted with my Qing Dynasty! This is the regent's decision-making mistake, which leads to the current difficulties!"
