Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

On August 11th, the [-]th year of Chongzhen, Shengjing Palace.

"Long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!" Dorgon meticulously performed three kneeling and nine kowtow salutes in the hall.

Looking at the fourteenth younger brother who "respected him very much" in the hall, Huang Taiji seemed to be a little lost in a daze.He remembered that after the old Khan passed away, he joined forces to seize the Khan position of the younger brother in front of him, and forced to death his biological mother Ulanara (Abahai).I thought that Dorgon could be completely manipulated in the palm of my hand, but unexpectedly, before I knew it, the seedling had grown into a towering tree.

In his heart, Huang Taiji really admired the vision of old Khan Nurhachi, this fourteenth brother was too shocking to the world.Under their own precautions and suppression, the three Dorgon brothers still managed the two white flags into an independent kingdom that could not be splashed, and became a force that cannot be ignored in the Qing Dynasty.

Compared to his eldest son, Hauge, who only knows how to fight but has no political acumen, Huang Taiji can only sigh.

Unconsciously, Huang Taiji's thoughts flew to Dorgon's growth experience.He has always been respectful and respectful to himself internally, and has made great achievements externally.Especially when Lin Dan Khan was conquered, Dorgon injured his kidney water and was destined to have heirs all his life.If it wasn't for this reason, maybe I would have put him...

Suddenly, a surge of pride in Huang Taiji's chest suppressed this idea.Who are you?He was the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty and Tian Cong Khan who ruled the Manchu and Mongolian races.As long as I am in power, Dorgon will kneel down to me even among dragons and phoenixes.If he is obedient.Huang Taiji did not hesitate to give Dorgon rich and honor, and let him support his descendants.If he has a different heart?Huang Taiji still hesitated and did not dare to act cruelly.Because the power of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is too weak, they can't stand the civil strife at all!

Because he didn't hear Huang Taiji's "Exemption!", Dorgon kept kneeling in the hall.No one could see that under his calm appearance, his heart was turbulent. "Hide your strengths and bide your time! Hide your strengths and bide your time!" Dorgon kept shouting in his heart.He knew that as long as there was anything wrong with him, Huang Taiji would not let him pass the door easily.

"Hahaha——!" There was a sudden burst of laughter from the dragon seat: "Fourteenth brother, why are you still kneeling? Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy! The starling has been distracted these days. He is really old." [

Dorgon quickly kowtowed again, and said: "The Qing Dynasty still needs the emperor to take the helm, the emperor must take care of the dragon's body!"

"Haha! Get up quickly! That is, the fourteenth brother, let my starling worry about me!"

The eunuch at the side moved a round stool under Huang Taiji's signal, and Dorgon, who had stood up, sat down next to the round stool.Huang Taiji nodded to Dorgon, and asked, "Today we brothers will talk about family affairs. Tell me, do you know the current situation in Ming Dynasty?"

"Report to the emperor! I know a thing or two. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me!" Dorgon said.

"Eh? Brothers, why are you being so polite? I forgive you for saying anything wrong! Come on!" Huang Taiji said with a wave of his hand.

"Then the younger brother is making a fool of himself at the emperor..."

Dorgon's opening remarks are a bunch of nonsense.It's not the day when my Qing Dynasty rose like the east.Daming is the declining sun; Huang Taiji is the master of wisdom, and Chongzhen is the ruler of mediocrity.Anyway, it is a strong contrast to set off the great achievements of Huang Taiji.

After the flattery was finished, Dorgon began to describe the situation in the Ming Dynasty.Because of the wide spread of spies in the pass, and the fact that traitors such as Shanxi merchants were passing on news, the Manchu Qing knew the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty well.And Dorgon, as the top figure in the Qing Dynasty, basically has all the information.

But Dorgon's narration is very particular about propriety.He didn't miss a little bit, but he didn't say a word too much.That is to say, he must show his concern for the affairs of Ming Dynasty, but he must not overstep his authority and make some decisions for Huang Taiji.this feeling?That tightrope walk is really hard!

Although Huang Taiji was well aware of these situations, he still pretended to be listening carefully with great interest.While listening, he kept smiling and nodding.Until Dorgon said: "The Ming Dynasty mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress the rebels in the territory. The rebels are getting smaller every day, and the Ming Dynasty is also becoming more and more peaceful!"Huang Taiji suddenly laughed "hahaha!" and interrupted Dorgon's words.

"It's the Ming Dynasty to quell the bandits. Then let me ask my fourteenth brother, what will the Ming Dynasty do in the future?"

Dorgon bowed slightly, and said: "Forgive my ignorance! I don't know." Facing Huang Taiji, Dorgon's cautiousness had penetrated into his bones.Even though he knew that the next target of the Ming Dynasty's troops would definitely be the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon still maintained his attitude of not taking any ideas.

"For me, does the Fourteenth Brother still need to be like this?" Although Huang Taiji said some blame, but he smiled as if he was not angry at all, because Huang Taiji was already very familiar with Dorgon's attitude.

Seeing that Dorgon was still silent, Huang Taiji went on to say: "There is a saying in the art of war: strike first. Don't let the Ming Kingdom be stable! I am going to let the national athletes enter the customs again. Fourteenth brother, who do you think is the right commander? "

Dorgon could not avoid answering this question.He thought for a while, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you can just let Hauge go for hunting. There is really no one... Yue Tuo can be regarded as loyal and reliable." [

Hauge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji and the appointed heir.And Yue Tuo is the son of Prince Li Daishan, and even Huang Taiji's confidant.Huang Taiji said more than once: Yuetuo should be left to his descendants.So these two people of Dorgon will not be caught wrong by Huang Taiji.

"Hahaha——!" Huang Taiji laughed again, "Although Haoge is good at fighting, he is soft-tempered and can't suppress so many troops. He still needs more help from you uncles. Yue Tuo Although you are both wise and brave, your seniority is too low, so you can only be the deputy commander, this time I am going to choose one of you brothers."

People who worry about the future must have near-term worries.In fact, Huang Taiji was already making arrangements for his funeral.Of course he needs to worry about his own two yellow flags.Years of painstaking efforts, coupled with the help of absolutely loyal cronies—Sony, Aobai, etc., the two yellow flags are monolithic.Not long after Hauge took office as the owner of the Zhenglan Banner, he needed to win people's hearts, so he couldn't leave the country for an expedition.

Calculated in this way, Huang Taiji's lineage has mastered the upper three flags, plus the two red flags of Prince Tongmeng Li Daishan.Even if Jierhalang, Prince Zheng of the Xianglan Banner, remained neutral, that also held down one of Dorgon's two white flags.This is not counting the Han armies such as the Mongolian Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners, and King Sanshun that Huang Taiji personally controlled.

Why not use Yuetuo?Of course it was because he was the son of Prince Li Daishan.Appreciation is appreciation, but hidden dangers have to be guarded against.What Huang Taiji needs is to rely on his own two red flags, not to make the two red flags bigger.In case Yuetuo made great military exploits, but Dorgon with the two white flags failed to solve it, and another two red flags appeared to overwhelm the host, it would be more harm than good.

But listening to Huang Taiji's words, Dorgon's heart couldn't help jumping up "thumping".Unlike when Nurhachi was in power, because all the relatives of the late Jin Dynasty were born in Li Chengliang's Liaodong cavalry, those relatives of the Qing Dynasty were always a little afraid of the Ming Dynasty. Until now, even the older relatives such as Daishan said When I started the Ming army, I still had the feeling of being afraid of well ropes for three years.

However, following the great victories in Liaodong and Huang Taiji's southward invasions after entering the customs several times, for the younger generation of the Manchu Eight Banners relatives, going to the customs is like going on a safari. There is no risk at all, but the rewards are It is a large number of slaves, livestock, and gold and silver, and the benefits are simply too great.

Moreover, whoever goes to the Guan once will have a great reputation after returning to Manzhou. He is considered a handsome hero and a pillar of the Qing Dynasty. Coupled with the skyrocketing population, livestock, and property in the banner, it is really a great thing to gain both fame and fortune. !

And from Huang Taiji's tone, it seems that he is going to appoint himself as the coach, so why is Dorgon not tempted?Although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, Dorgon's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke: "The second brother is highly respected, the seventh brother..."

"Hahaha!" Huang Taiji immediately laughed and waved his hands, interrupting Dorgon's words, "I summoned my fourteenth brother to be the commander-in-chief. Why? Do you want to go?" ?”

Dorgon left his seat without hesitation, knelt down and kowtowed: "My brother is so heartbroken, I am willing to die for the emperor!"

Seeing Dorgon knelt and kowtowed, a playful smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face.Of course Huang Taiji knew the benefits of entering the customs, what did Dorgon think?Of course Huang Taiji also knew.But even so, entering the customs is also a double-edged sword, and it depends on whether Dorgon has the ability to play.

Huang Taiji waved to his side, and an accompanying eunuch immediately picked up the imperial decree he had prepared a long time ago, and read it aloud: "By God's blessing, the emperor's decree said: Ren He Shuorui Prince Dorgon as the general... , hereby!"

When the eunuch handed over the imperial decree to Duo ErGun, Duo ErGun felt his hands trembling.Huang Taiji seemed to know that Dorgon's heart was surging, so he waited for a long time until Dorgon calmed down, and then let him sit down again, and discussed with him the battle to enter the customs.

"In the past few years, the stalls have become bigger and bigger, and our Manchuria is not doing well. I am thinking about it, and I will arrange for you to lead the troops to the pass, and then bring back some things to subsidize. Our Qing Dynasty Still poor!"

Even after the founding of the country, the Manchu Qing still could not change the barbarian nature of the armed bandit groups.Therefore, the most important criterion for this group to measure its members is the number of military achievements.But now the Mongolian tribes around the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming forces outside the Great Wall, North Korea, etc. have been completely defeated and defeated by the Manchu Qing armed forces, so this armed group no longer has so many wars to provide military merits, and there are not so many The place can be plundered, so of course the primary purpose of this southern expedition is to plunder.
