Or straight to the point, the so-called "Hou Jin and later Qing Dynasty court will help captured ordinary Ming soldiers to marry wives" I don't know where the source is, just today turned to a manuscript of the title, people are remnants, a lot of important information is lost, and the protagonist is not a captured soldier, but I think the information provided above is enough to explain the problem.
Because it is a fragment, there are many things missing, but the specific time can be determined, that is, November 12 of the 11th year of Chongzhen. The Ming army caught a spy Wang Chun, this is a Tianjin person, nineteen years old this year, he is not a soldier of the Ming army, because it is difficult to recognize too many words, only know that it should be a child of a relatively wealthy family, the loss of something in the family is afraid of the blame of his parents, so he wandered around Beijing, indiscriminately doing some odd jobs for a living, on September 24 of this year was captured by the Qing army into the camp, the Qing army saw that he was clever, familiar with the roads in the east of Beijing and the south of Beijing, so he gave him meat to eat.
On September 28, a "big man with a big feather" came to Wang Chun with a woman and told Wang Chun that he should go to Beijing to find out the reality of the Ming Dynasty defenders, and if the task was completed smoothly, he would give this woman to him as his wife and make him the governor. So he sent him two men with shaved heads, and gave him arrows and small flags, as well as four hundred yuan as a coil on the road. On September 30, the three people left the Qing army camp and arrived at Lijiaqiao, Wang Chun's two shaved partners did not dare to continue to advance, so these two people each paid 30 yuan to Wang Chun, so that he could go to find out the military situation of the Ming army by himself, Wang Chun arrived at Shawomen in Beijing and found that there were two battalions of soldiers and horses here, and went west to continue to investigate the military situation of the Ming army until he was captured.
But later he retracted his confession and confessed another version: on September 24, he worked in the Miyun area, and then was arrested by the Qing army, and did the work of serving people under the leader of the Qing army named "Erhanzi", either fetching water or mowing grass, and he also heard that the Qing army said that they would break through Miyun and gain a firm foothold in Miyun, and then attack Tongzhou, and later the Qing army asked them to go to Beijing to find out the news of the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers. On September 28, the Han people captured by the Qing army began to flee, and Wang Chun was tied up and lived with a woman after an unsuccessful escape, but the woman untied his rope and let him go, until he was caught by the official army. Wang Chun later explained that when he was first caught, he was afraid that the government would torture him, so he made up nonsense. This young man was very lucky, the government thought he was suspicious, but did not investigate deeply, but only regarded him as a refugee who had escaped from the Qing military camp, so they found out his parents and addresses, and sent him back to Tianjin.
Of course, regardless of whether this Wang Chun is a spy or a refugee who escaped from the Qing military camp, there is a detail mentioned, that is, the condition set by the Qing army to coax the captured Han people to act as spies is to marry a wife and then give a petty official.
Let's take two more examples of Chongzhen's seven years. On July 23, the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty army in Xuanfu City captured a spy person, this person is named Liu Yun, is a native of Xin'an Prefecture, Chongzhen was caught by the Mongolian Han Department on the way to Niangzi Mountain to visit relatives in June of the sixth year, don't you say this is unlucky? Visiting relatives can find out what is going on.
Later because of "".Dongnu will transfer the chieftain into a camp"So this person became a Han spy under the command of the Jianzhou Jurchen regime."On the 8th day of July this year, they imported from the Longmen side, and asked me to lead the way from Longmen Pass to the ash kiln. Liu Yun explored Xin'an, Huailai, and Chadao on the East Road, and the four of them explored Yanqingzhou, Yongning, Sihaiye, Longmen, Chicheng, Yunzhou, Dushi, and Maying on the North Road. The men and horses wanted to rob Datong from Ulzhou, and when they came back, they agreed to attack Xuanfu on the first day of August, attacked Yifu, and then went to Beijing. If you inquire truthfully, reward me with cattle and sheep, and return to the landIn order to make these captured Han people willingly act as their own spies, the Houjin side offered a few cattle and sheep and returned the land to the seeds.
On the same day, the Ming army caught another spy in Hejiazhuang, Matou Mountain, outside the city of Xuanfu, this person is not a Han, but a Mongolian, named Keshtu, this person is a genuine Ming soldier, originally a defender of the pier, the Han name is Chi Dazhi, four years ago where the pier was breached, he was plundered by the Mongols, and later".Hei Dazi took advantage of the killing of Huang TaijiThe Mongol tribes were in disarray, and he fled back to Han China.
As a result, Chongzhen was captured by the Houjin army in Longmen in early July of the seventh year, and the Houjin army asked him to be a spy to find out the military situation."There are four of us to listen to the soldiers and horses. There is one person on the right side of the mountain, whose surname is Liu and his name is unknown, one person who is a little white sheep person, called Zhao Er, and one person who is from Longmen Pass, called Wang Er. With our fanzi cards, each person is a side. Asked us to call the Xuanfu to send troops, and also asked to inquire about the artillery fire on the side of Yicheng, the rigor of the ambush is not rigorous, and there are not many soldiers and horses. We are not allowed to enter the city, but we are only allowed to hide in the fields outside the city. If you see the troop and horse, turn the previous card back in order to prevent blockage
Then the point came, what were the conditions that the Houjin Army gave to these four spies?As for this Chi Dazhi, he explained again."Yi and I each of them had a woman from the Southern Dynasty, eight cattle and sheep, and a donkey, and they were collected at Yi. If you inquire about the truth, you will do it with me as a general, and you will have money with me"After this, Jin Jun's treatment is really good, as a spy, he can get eight cattle and sheep, a donkey, and".Southern Dynasty Woman"One for each of them, that is, to be able to start a family, and to get nine big animals, of course, this."Southern Dynasty Woman"Where did it come from, I don't think I need to say more.
Therefore, based on the above three examples, it can be seen that the Houjin army may indeed help the captured Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians to marry a wife, send a few cattle and sheep, and may give a few acres of land, but the problem is that this is the treatment that can only be obtained when the spy goes to find out the military situation of the Ming army, and the wife and property are basically earned by hanging their heads on the waistband of their trousers, what is the result after the Houjin and the spies sent by Mongolia are captured alive?
Chongzhen caught a lot of spies in the seventh year. After the loss of the old Baoan Prefecture in the seventh year of Chongzhen, on July 14, the Ming army captured three spies from Liaodong: Ningyuan is still noble, and Meng Cang and Chen Xuezheng are from Sima Ying".In March of the first year of Chongzhen, there was a pen to write a contract for the next quarter of the Han Dynasty, and the servants ate three taels of silver every month, and if they surrendered, they went to Xinhekou to eat food, and entangled Meng Cang and Chen Xuezheng to give the Han a monthly report, which has been to six years"Because the old Baoan Prefecture was lost because of the spies, and the whole city was driven and plundered, after the three people were interrogated, they were all beheaded and displayed to the public. This wife is married, the cattle are owned, the land is owned, and there may even be an official position, but if she is caught, will the above still be useful?
After the captive person fled back to the Ming Dynasty, he even said to the ** who interrogated him: It is worth it even if he dies if he can return to the Southern Dynasty (Ming Dynasty). It was Nurhachi who said "grace", so do you think it is grace in the literal sense?What is the effect of this specific "grace", it is not unmentioned in the information of the early Qing Dynasty, Shang Kexi once wrote a letter requesting to attack Phi Dao".The chief military officer is still happy to play carefully, in order to prevent the border from attacking the island first. Since the opening of Phi Dao, there have been no less than one million Liao men and women in our country who have traveled to the islands, all of which are due to the islands. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has loved the people like a son, and the old people have been thinking about and working happily. And the treasure and goods of Phi Island are gathered, but it is dangerous to rely on the water, and there is no mountain city, so it is easy to attack with one hundred three-board ships and one or two thousand soldiers and horses. After taking the island, collect its boats, collect them island by island, and moor the ships at Lushun after the fact, one person did not escape, and then the southern dynasty boat division did not dare to go east
"There are no less than one million Liao men and women who run to the islands, and they are all due to the islands."Is this the grace?Shang Kexi patted his ass again."Since the emperor (Huang Taiji) ascended the throne, he has loved the people like a son, and the old man has been happy to work"Whether that's the case or not, we'll talk about it in the next article.
