Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

"Master, a secret letter from Nanjing." Hou Fangyu handed a wax pill to Dorgon.

"Nanjing?" Dorgon took the wax pill and crushed it lightly, took out the secret letter and unfolded it.

After carefully reading the secret letter, Dorgon sighed softly and said, "Unfortunately, Chongzhen was not killed."

Hou Fangyu's expression changed, and he asked, "Master, are the Luo family brothers attacking Chongzhen again?"

"It's not the Luo family this time." Dorgon waved his hand and said, "It should be the clans, nobles, or gentry who were persecuted by Chongzhen before. It's a pity that the success fell short in the end."

"Master, this is exactly what this slave wants to tell you." Hou Fangyu said with a serious face.

"Chongzhen, the dog emperor, has rarely stayed in Nanjing since he was expelled from the capital. Even if he stayed in Nanjing, he would wander the Qinhuai River every now and then, and sooner or later he would die at the hands of assassins."

"Well, it makes sense." Dorgon said deeply.

"As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your feet wet? Chongzhen likes to visit the Qinhuai River so much, and likes to run outside, but he refuses to stay in the palace honestly. It will be a matter of time before he is assassinated."

"So it's better for the master to reduce the number of times he leaves the palace." Hou Fangyu took the opportunity to advise.

Dorgon frowned instantly, and said in a deep voice: "Hou Fangyu, do you suspect that the capital also has Nanming's spies hidden?"

"Master, this is not a suspicion." Hou Fangyu said, "I am sure that there must be Nanming and even hypocritical spies hidden in the capital. If the master is negligent, he may be harmed by him."

Hou Fangyu actually left the second half of the sentence unspoken.

What Hou Fangyu really wants to say is that even if there are no hidden Nanming or pseudo-shun assassins in the capital, there are still plenty of people who want to take your Dorgon's head.

How many people's interests have been touched by the restructuring of the Eight Banners this time?

Daishan family, Jierhalang family, who doesn't want to kill you?

Empress Dowager Bumbutai and Little Emperor Fulin must also want to kill you.

So, if you don't want to die violently, you, Dorgon, had better be honest.

Dorgon took a deep look at Hou Fangyu, and he heard something beyond the strings.

After pondering for a while, Dorgon said: "Forget it, let's cancel this year's autumn hunting."

It has to be admitted that Dorgon can still listen to correct opinions. After being reminded by Hou Fangyu, Dorgon resolutely canceled the hunting trip to Chengde. Now he is in the critical stage of the reform of the Eight Banners, and there is no room for any mistakes.

"Master is wise." Seeing that Dorgon accepted his advice, Hou Fangyu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It was also Hou Fangyu's persuasion that allowed Dorgon to avoid a well-planned assassination operation.

Li Ruolian had already instigated rebellion and bought several old guards of Jinyi, planning to take advantage of Dorgon's opportunity to go to Chengde to assassinate him, and even prepared a pistol for the assassination.

Dorgon continued to read the memorial at his desk.

Basically, they are all about the restructuring of the Eight Banners.

The Eight Banners Manchuria needs to be restructured, and the Eight Banners Han Army needs to be expanded even more.

After the restructuring, the Eight Banners Manchuria will no longer have banner owners and small banner owners. All affairs, large and small, will be in charge of Gu Shan Erzhen and Mei Le Zhang Jing, and Gu Shan Er Zhen and Mei Le Zhang Jing are no longer fixed.

This means that the Manchuria of the Eight Banners will no longer belong to the banner owners and the small banner owners, but will become owned by the state.

For this, the princes, county kings, Baylor, and Beizi who built slaves were naturally dissatisfied in every way, and started to make troubles one after another, and the most violent one was Dorgon's younger brother Duoduo.

By the way, the two brothers Dorgon and Duoduo have turned against each other.

However, the reason why Duduo and Dorgon turned against each other was not because of the restructuring of the Eight Banners, but because Dorgon broke his promise and no longer adopted Duduo's fourth son as his stepson. This is equivalent to abolishing Duduo, the emperor's younger brother.

Duoduo has been looking forward to this for three full years, but in the end he waited for loneliness. How can he be willing to do this?
It's just that Duo Duo's political skills are not on the same plane as Dorgon's. Before Dorgon even exerted his strength, Duo Duo had already fallen, losing the title of county king and only keeping the title of Baylor.

As for the inlaid white flag, it has no connection with Duoduo.

Dorgon is also ruthless, and has carried out a large-scale replacement of Gushan Ezhen and Meile Zhangjing of the Eight Banners.

A large number of strong generals from the Xianghuang Banner, such as Tulai, Aobai, Tan Tai, and Tazhan, were transferred to the Xiangbai Banner, while the fierce generals from the Xiangbai Banner, such as Heluohui, Wa Xing'a, Shitu, etc., were replaced by Dorgon to the Xiangbai Banner. yellow flag.

In the early years, Huang Taiji once switched the colors of the bordered white flag and the bordered yellow flag, resulting in an extremely bad relationship between the bordered white flag and the bordered yellow flag. Strong generals of the bordered yellow flag like Aobai and Tulai would not look down on the bordered white flag, but Strong generals with white flags like He Luohui and Wa Xing'a are also arrogant soldiers who hate yellow flags.

But now Dorgon has directly swapped the bordered yellow flag and bordered white flag.

This time, the confrontation between the bordered yellow flag and the bordered white flag was directly broken.

In a word, the original power structure of the Eight Banners Manchuria has been completely disrupted.

The new Eight Banners power structure is based on the absolute dominance of imperial power.

I have to say that Dorgon is quite political.

In terms of fighting alone, Dorgon is definitely not as good as Huang Taiji or Nurhachi.

But in terms of political skills, Dorgon seems to have surpassed Huang Taitai.

The exchange of the generals of the Eight Banners is almost the same as the exchange of the commanders of the eight major military regions of the teacher, and the effect is immediate, which greatly strengthens the centralization of power.

It was also from this moment that the Manchu Qing changed from a tribal political system to a centralized system.

When Dorgon was reviewing the memorial, Cao Eryu came in and reported: "Master, Princess Jianning came to bid farewell with her forehead."

"Jianning is here, please come soon." Dorgon immediately put down his writing brush, and asked Hou Fangyu to fetch a box of Dongzhu and a ferret fur cloak that Khalkha paid tribute to Mongolia.

After a while, Princess Jianning and his wife walked into the East Nuan Pavilion together.

By the way, this Princess Jianning is not that Princess Jianning.

In another world line, Huang Taiji's fourteenth daughter married Wu Sangui's son Wu Yingxiong in the 16th year of Shunzhi, and was conferred the title of Princess Jianning in the [-]th year of Shunzhi.

But in this world, the one who was conferred the title of Princess Heshuo Jianning has become Su Mo'er, that is, Lagu Su Ma, and Princess Jianning's forehead has also changed from Wu Yingxiong to Li Hao, the second son of King Li Ji of North Korea.

Not long after Lagu Su Ma and Li Hao came in, Fulin also followed.

After greeting Dorgon, Fulin bid farewell to Lagu Su Ma and Li Hao.

Holding La Aunt Su Ma's slender waist, Fulin was reluctant to let go of his hand for a long time. Others thought he was just a ten-year-old boy, but in fact, he had already fallen in love with La Aunt Su Ma, and secretly fell in love with La Aunt Su Ma.

Fulin will never forget the feeling of falling on La Aunt Su Ma when he fell from the well rail at Dagukou. If possible, he would really not want to marry La Aunt Su Ma to Li Hao .

It's a pity that he can't decide this matter, so he can only endure it.

Aunt Su Ma's feelings for Fulin are also very complicated, including the loyalty of the slave to the master, the affection of the elder sister for the younger brother, and even the first-class maternal love.

Fulin was really raised by Aunt Su Ma.

Fulin hugged Aunt Su Ma for a long time and refused to let go, Li Hao didn't feel embarrassed, but was secretly happy.

The reason is also very simple, who is Fulin?That is the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the relationship between the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty and his wife is so deep, which is of course a great thing for North Korea.

Dorgon didn't think it was wrong either. In his eyes, Fulin was still a child.

After rewarding the Dongzhu and ferret fur cloaks to Li Hao and his wife, Dorgon said again: "Li Hao, Liaodong is not peaceful at the moment, and the Gaizhou Guard has tens of thousands of Ming troops, so when you go back to North Korea, you can only take a detour through the Horqin Grassland. , You must be escorted by a large army, I am going to let Aobai lead three thousand guards with white flags to escort you."

"Well, how does this happen." Li Hao hastily declined.

"You don't have to refuse anymore." Dorgon waved his hand.

"After you go back, you must do your best to maintain the vassal relationship between the Qing Dynasty and North Korea, and especially beware of the ministers in North Korea who are close to Nanming, and don't let them break the covenant between the two countries."

"Hey." Li Hao said in a respectful voice, "I will always remember the imperial edict of the Regent."

Dorgon gave a few more instructions, and asked Cao Eryu to summon Aobai.

Soon, Obai strode into the East Nuan Pavilion of Prince Rui's mansion.

"Slave Oboi, please pay respects to your master Jin An." Aobai flicked his sleeves and gave Fulin a thousand, then turned around and greeted Dorgon, "Slave Oboi, please greet the emperor's father." Regent Jin An."

Fulin didn't pay attention to Ao Bai, but Dorgon said with a solemn hand, "Let's get down."

After Obai got up, Dorgon said again: "I am worried that Jianning's son-in-law will have troubles when he returns to North Korea this time. Not only the road may not be peaceful, but he may also face danger after arriving in Pyongyang, so I ordered you to lead three thousand guards with white flags." The army will escort you along the way, and you don’t have to rush back after you arrive in Pyongyang, you can only go back after the king of North Korea canonize the forehead as his son-in-law.”

At this moment, Fulin finally straightened up from Aunt Su Ma's arms, wiped his tears and said, "Oboi, if there is anything wrong with Huangjie, I will definitely skin you, do you hear that?"

Aobai bowed his hands and replied solemnly: "Please rest assured, the master and the emperor's father, the regent, the slaves will definitely send Her Royal Highness and the son-in-law to Pyongyang safely, and will definitely do their best to help the son-in-law win the throne."

After a short pause, he added: "If the king of North Korea does not delegate power, the slaves will directly help the son-in-law inherit the throne."

Apparently, Aobai has understood Dorgon's true intentions. Escorting is false, but helping Li Hao seize power is true.

"Well." Dorgon nodded happily, and then reminded Li Hao, "You must pay attention to Li. If Li dies at the hands of the Ming army, that's all. Afterwards, it is very likely that he will be released back to Pyongyang, and he may even be helped to seize the throne, so if you see Li again, you must be careful."

"Hey." Li Hao replied in a respectful voice, "I will remember the imperial father and regent's edict."

Aobai also said: "Master, don't worry, the son-in-law will surely succeed to the throne."
