The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 228 Two Years

The years flies, and two years have passed in a flash. Now it is the fourth year of Hongguang and the sixteenth and forty-eight years of the Gregorian calendar. Because of Liu Xia's relationship, the Hongguang regime, which originally existed for less than two years in history, still exists in Nanjing. Emperor Hongguang is still addicted to wine and sex. The ministers are also exploiting the people and indulging in the peaceful era of their own fantasy. The whole Nanjing palace can be said to be full of songs and dancing, and the wine pool and meat forest, as if it were Shang Zhou. The people are so oppressive that they dare not say anything. Every day, a large number of people secretly run from the jurisdiction of Nanming to Henan.

In the past two years, the Chinese land has been relatively calm, and the major forces have been busy recuperating. Although small frictions have continued and the strong territory has been expanding, there has been no big war. Without a large number of melee by warlords, the people have little stability.

In two years, Liu Xia digested most of the state capitals in Shaanxi and sent past officials to manage them. During this period, the 5,000 iron eagle guards led by Niu Chao and Shang Chuang encountered some trouble when they recovered Gansu Town in Shaanxi Province. The whole army was almost destroyed. In the end, they led more than 2,000 people back to Shaanxi in confusion. Liu Xia was furious when he learned that. He immediately dismissed Niu Chao's command post, and Niu Chao replaced Jiang Xinluoyang as the head of the garrison regiment. Then Liu Xia ordered Jiang Xin to rely on the remaining iron eagle guards to form an iron fist brigade with a number of 8,000 people. Bi Shu served as the deputy commander of the iron fist brigade and also served as a military division, and awarded it to Yangwei School. At the same time, Li Ke, the deputy commander of the Xiong Division Brigade, was appointed as the commander of Tie Yingwei, and Shang Chuang continued to serve as the deputy commander. Tie Yingwei went to Gansu Town with the Tiequan Brigade.

The two of them have different tasks this time. The number of the Iron Fist Brigade is 8,000, which is mainly responsible for the attack on the Qiang and Taters. Tieyingwei is responsible for the attack of the Han regime within Gansu Town. At the same time, if Gansu Town is completely taken, the Tiequan Brigade will go to Hamiwei, and Tieyingwei will guard Gansu Town. At the same time, Jiang Xin was promoted to Yangwei School.

Due to the excellent performance of Zhang Yang and others, Liu Xia appointed Zhang Yang as Yangwei School, and the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction became Feng Xiangwei and Zhang Yang as the commander. At the same time, Guo Min, the deputy captain of the Guards, was appointed as the deputy commander and Yang Yong School. The number has increased to 5,000 people. Continue to cross the grassland.

Yu Mingjun dismissed the position of Commander of Yingyangwei and transferred one-third of the members of Yingyangwei. At the same time, more than 100 military personnel were transferred to establish the Tianying Brigade, which was awarded to Yu Mingjun as the commander of the Tianying Brigade. Wang Jianwei, the former commander of the Second Guards of the Qinwei Brigade, was the deputy commander of the Tianying Brigade. He went to Aoki River to take over the jurisdiction of the Xiong Division Brigade, which returned to Shaanxi and was responsible for the defense and attack of the Tatars in northern Shaanxi. At the same time, Li Weiqiang, the former head of the Qinwei Third Regiment, was appointed as the deputy commander of the Xiong Division Brigade. In the same year, the Skyhawk Brigade broke through Baode Prefecture and Bajiao in Taiyuan Prefecture. Zhenyuanwei, Pingruwei and other places in Datongfu.

The former Yingyangwei was expanded by 1,000 people, with Li Gu, the former deputy commander of Yingyangwei, as the commander, and awarded Yangwei School. Mao, the deputy head of the Qinwei First Regiment, served as the deputy commander of Ying Yangwei and awarded it to Yangyong School. Liu Xia transferred almost all these deputy positions of soldiers and horses abroad to the people of the Guard Brigade, so that Liu Xia took these soldiers and horses firmly in her hands.

Today, in the west and north of Liu Xia's jurisdiction, there are a total of 34,000 people in Tieyingwei, Fengxiangwei, Tiequan Brigade, Tianying Brigade and Xiongshi Brigade. However, a year later, Liu Xia set up Long Xiangwei to re-use the Niu Dynasty as the commander, and Li Mingran, the new deputy captain of the Guard, served as the deputy commander and awarded the Yangyong school level. Set up 5,000 people, go to Shandong Cheng to announce the political envoy, and recover Yanzhou Prefecture and the northern part of Dongchang Prefecture. There was no movement in the Qing army, and most of the troops were still in Zhili.

At the same time, Weihui Mansion, Zhangde Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion, which are located in northern Henan Province, were also completely occupied. Liu Xia sent the county magistrate and formed local garrison groups. Daming Mansion was also included in the Hu Ben Brigade. At this time, a large number of Hu Ben Brigade were in Daming Mansion and Zhangde Mansion. At the same time, Zhang Yuan, the commander of the Hu Ben Brigade, was awarded to the riding school, and Shao Hua, the deputy commander, was awarded to Yangwei School.

The leopard cavalry brigade located in the east directly governs the eastern part of Fengxiangfu. At the same time, the leopard cavalry brigade is divided into two parts. One is still the leopard cavalry brigade, and Zhang Liang still serves as the commander of the leopard cavalry brigade and is awarded the surrounding riding school. At the same time, Li Guo, the head of the Second Regiment of the Qinwei Brigade, was promoted to Yangwei School as the deputy commander. The other one is adapted into 5,000 people in Qianniuwei, with Feng Yan, the former deputy commander of the Leopard Riding Brigade, and the deputy position is Fu Yun, the commander of the first battalion of the First Regiment of the Qinwei Brigade, and awarded the Yangyong School level. At the same time, he went to Runing Mansion to resist the possible invasion of Wu Sangui.

At the same time, the Wolf Roar Brigade also scored one point and two points. One still formed a new Wolf Roar Brigade. Ma Peng served as the commander and was promoted to the riding school. Li Qiang, the commander of the third regiment of the Qinwei Brigade, was promoted as the deputy commander and awarded the Yangwei School. Another set up of Sirius Guard, awarded Lei Ming, the former deputy commander of the Wolf Xiao Brigade, as the commander of Sirius Guard, awarded the Yangwei School, and Mu Ming, the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Guard Regiment of the Qinwei Brigade, as the deputy commander, and Yang Yong School. Guard Nanyang. So far, Henan Cheng announced that the political envoy department, except for Xinyang Prefecture and other places occupied by Wu Sangui, all other places were completely controlled by Liu Xia.

In addition to the troops in the west and northwest, there are a total of pro-guard brigades, tiger brigades, leopard cavalry brigades, wolf roar brigades, dragons, Qianniu guards, and Sirius guards. A total of 47,000 horses. All the combat troops, plus the number of eagles and guards of 1,000, a total of 82,000 horses. As for the local garrison regiment in each house, it is not counted.

The divine machine guard was dismantled, and the artillery was assigned to the brigade guards. Wang Xiaotong served as the chief professor of the artillery department of the military reserve school, and also served as the director of the arms department. Li Sanhan retired due to illness. Awarded to the level of Yangwei School.

In terms of clerical work, Rui Junai served as the Director-General of the Civil Affairs Department and the Director-General of the Education Department. Li Suran, the General Secretary of Civil Affairs, served as the political envoy of Henan Cheng. Bao Tiangong served as the chief judge of the court, and also served as the chief judge of Henan Cheng. Zhang Wenyuan served as the chief of the Investigation Department and also served as the commander of the Investigation Department of Henan Cheng's Political Envoy. Wang Shitou also served as the commander of the local garrison brigade composed of all the local garrison regiments of the Political Envoy Department of Henan Cheng.

Kou Baimen gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins a few months after giving birth in Bian Yujing. The boy Liu Xia was named Liu An, and the girl was named Liu Ying. The next year, Liu Ru also followed closely with a son, who was named Liu Wen. Chen Yuanyuan, who was raised by Liu Xia in a residential campus in Luoyang, was not pregnant because Liu Xia was properly guarded, and Liu Xia did not disclose it. During this period, Liu Xia was lucky with several maids in the same room, but they did not come out. Because Liu Ru was left with a child for Liu Xia, Liu Ru was sealed as a side concubine.

The Qing army in the north did not make much movement, and still firmly guarded Jinan Prefecture and Beizhili. At the same time, part of the prince Baylor returned to Liaodong. Wu Sangui took advantage of the weak military strength of the Southern Ming Dynasty and could not control most of the southern regions, so Wu Sangui took the opportunity to occupy Jiangxi and Guangxi. And Shang Kexi occupies Yunnan, Guizhou. Zhang Xianzhong continued to hide in Sichuan.

In the past two years, although all forces in China have not changed cards in a row, the territory under each jurisdiction is slightly different. The Qing army in the north still occupied most of the north, including North Zhili, most of Shandong, Inner Mongolia and Liaodong. Most of Shanxi. Liu Xia occupies a small part of Henan, Shandong and a part of Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili. Shaanxi, Gansu Town and other places. Wu Sangui occupies half of Huguang, as well as Jiangxi and Guangxi. Shang Kexi occupies the other half of Huguang, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. Zhang Xianzhong is still from Sichuan. The saddest thing is Nanming. Most of Nanming's territory is divided up by Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi, but they dare not say anything.

Nowadays, only Nanzhili and Zhejiang are the only places that Nanming can actually control. As for Fujian, which is farther away, although Guangdong nominally belongs to them, the local royal gentry actually does not buy it, and the tax is not paid. For two years, Nanming kept sending Wu Sangui grain and grass, silver, silver coins, beautiful women, etc., but after a few months of receiving things, Wu Sangui stationed troops in Luzhou Prefecture, looking like he was about to capture them, while Nanming would cooperate and send a large number of beautiful women and silver, and then Wu Sangui retreated. This has been staged several times, which is called the lack of food and fodder in Nanming, and the people are suffering unspeakably.

Because the silver coins created by Liu Xia are easy to circulate, silver coins are now popular in many places. Among them, the areas under Liu Xia are silver Liu Xia's big head silver coins, and the Nanzhili area is the silver coins of Emperor Hongguang's big head. The area under the jurisdiction of Wu Sangui is the printing of Wu big head silver coins. Shang Kexi's jurisdiction area, printing Shang Datou silver coins and Zhang Xianzhong's Sichuan also followed suit.
