Chapter 65: The Kings of the Qing Dynasty

The large army that the Qing army withdrew from the south of the Yangtze River was also placed in various places, on the edge of the Yellow River, in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, and Beizhili, and only the Manchu Eight Banners and even the Han Army Banner were placed in Beijing.

In the Forbidden City.

Dorgon rode into the Jinshui River. A few people followed.

Horseback riding in the Forbidden City was not allowed in the Ming Dynasty, but only after the Manchu Qing Dynasty came to power, the privileges of princes and ministers were granted.

Before Dolgon came to the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, he asked the eunuch on one side and said, "Have all the kings come?" ”

The little eunuch did not dare to raise his head, bowed and saluted, and said, "All the kings have arrived." Just wait for the regent. ”

Dolgon turned over and dismounted, and strode in, and immediately a eunuch shouted, "Uncle Regent has arrived-------。 ”

Sure enough, the kings had arrived.

The oldest qualified person is naturally Dai Shan.

Prince Dai Shan, who is already dying, is over sixty years old, fought in his early years, and is a first-class fierce general. When Huang Taiji first ascended the throne, he was also one of the four beylers. However, after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, in order to centralize power, he gave Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai, who were also the four beylers. A crackdown was carried out. From that time, Dai Shan also began to rein in his edge, from a fierce general who charged on the battlefield to a family man who pretended to be deaf and dumb.

But Dai Shan is an old slave, the longest, naturally has prestige, and when Huang Taiji is there, he can still suppress it. But Huang Taiji went. Dai Shan played a considerable role in the process of establishing Shunzhi. There are even people who want to support Dai Shan.

It's just that Daishan is old, his energy is low, and he has no ambitions. After making peace, he determined the principle that the son of Huang Taiji could ascend the throne. and put Dorgon in the position of regent.

This is not because Daishan has a good relationship with Dolgon, but because the times are compelling.

In this turmoil, Dai Shan also folded a son and a grandson.

Among them, the grandson is also a county king.

Of course, it's a long time ago, and it's not clear whether these two people were put into the suit by Dolgon, or whether they were killed by killing their relatives on behalf of goodness. But one thing that can be believed is that the relationship between Daishan and Dorgon is not very close.

However, Dai Shan also has a knot for Huang Taiji.

Dai Shanben is the head of the four major Baylors, and he was made immortal by Huang Taiji, and he also had to support his old age, how could he not have resentment in his heart. However, when he is old, he thinks mostly about the foundation of the Manchu Dynasty, so everyone helps him to do peace and old things.

Next up was Prince Zheng Zilharang.

It stands to reason that Prince Zheng Zilharang was Dolgon's main political opponent.

During the period of Huang Taiji, Gainzir Harang was very important to Huang Taiji, and repeatedly led the army to fight. And after Shunzhi ascended the throne, there were actually two kings who were appointed as auxiliaries, namely his Prince Zheng Zilharang and Prince Rui Dolgon.

But Zilharang quickly retreated, and said specifically: "The major affairs of the military state are all in vain to Prince Rui. ”

It was only by voluntarily giving up power that Dolgon was invincible.

Of course, this is Dolgon's aggressiveness, but there is also a reason why Zilharang's foundation is not hard.

Because, Zilharan is not the son of an old slave. He is an old slave brother.

It was Shulhachi, the younger brother of the old slave.

When the old slave started his family, his capital was not too rich, and when he was young, he naturally had to rely on his relatives. So Shuerhachi also has a lot of troops in his hands, but Shuerhachi is not a qualified general, once he went to war, he saw that the omen was wrong, and he actually wanted to retreat, and it was also the eldest son of the old slave, Zhuying and Daishan almost held him hostage to attack, and only then did he get a big victory.

When the old slave found out, he didn't let him lead the troops.

It's just that at that time, the old slave's power was still a tribal alliance. Shulhachi was idle, he was very unwilling, so he discussed with his two sons to leave the old slave and become independent, but as a result, he was found by the old slave, how could the old slave let him pull away the troops, so he killed his two sons.

Almost semi-forcibly left Shulhachi's forces behind.

Soon Shulhachi died.

This force was left in the hands of Amin, yes, Amin who was one of the four beylers.

In the process of Huang Taiji regaining power, Dai Shan's fate is still the best, they are brothers after all. Acting for goodness and understanding of current affairs. Mang Gurtai's fate was the worst, and he drew a knife in front of Huang Taiji, so even if he was the fifth son of the old slave, he couldn't do it. He died, and Huang Taiji did not let it go.

Mang Gurtai's family is also lonely. Mang Gurtai's troops were also taken into the hands of Huang Taiji.

And Amin is similar to Mang Gurtai, and it is slightly better to say, Huang Taiji convicted Amin of sixteen major sins and imprisoned Amin to death.

But Amin died, and the troops that Amin inherited from Shulhachi were not easy for Huang Taiji to directly incorporate into his own management, after all, he also had to pay attention to his appearance, so Zilharang, who was loyal to Huang Taiji, was reused.

Inherited Amin's legacy.

Of course, what he inherited was shrunk, and it was impossible to shake Huang Taiji's supremacy.

Therefore, Zilharang has today, all thanks to Huang Taiji's support. It is also because of this that when he was competing for the throne, he couldn't support Hauge if he wanted to. Of course, this is not to say that Hauge has no other supporters besides Zilharang.

It's just a pity.

With the eight-king political system left by the old slave, the real decision was made in the meeting of the princes and ministers of the clan, so many ministers of Huang Taiji were useless.

And then there's Azig, Dordor.

Not much to say about the two men, and Duoduo had the best relationship with Dorgon. Although Azig is a bit domineering, he and Dolgon, after all, are brothers, and they are still on Dolgon's side.

There are many other princes.

For example, Hauge, the prince of Su, who was in opposition to Dolgon.

Hauge was able to compete with Dolgon because he was the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji's former ministers gathered around him. But now, Huang Taiji's old ministers have a new object of allegiance, which is naturally Shunzhi on the throne.

So Hauge's status is much worse than before.

Hauge has also become a supporter on the emperor's side, even if he is unwilling, he has to admit that he must ensure that the throne is in the hands of Huang Taiji's lineage, otherwise he will only be even worse in the future.

There is also Prince Yu Shuosai.

He is also the son of Huang Taiji, but he, the prince, has just been sealed, and he has no hope at all, and he is just standing in a position where he is.

There were also other kings of the Qing court, such as the king of Raoyu County, Abatai. Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County.

These two people represent exactly two extremes. Abatai is a typical old man. He is the seventh son of the old slave, and he has always made a lot of contributions, but he is stuck in the position of the county king, and if he wants to make more contributions, he will be crowned the prince. And Luo Luohun, the king of the county, inherited it.

It is no one else who inherits. It's Yue's.

And Yue Tuo is Dai Shan's eldest son.

Between Yue Tuo and Dai Shan, there is still a public case, Yue Tuo's mother died early, Dai Tuo did not treat Yue Tuo well, Yue Tuo, much worse than his younger brothers, was known by the old slave, the old slave reprimanded Dai Shan, and dismissed Dai Shan's crown prince.

As a result, Dai Shan is the eldest son of the old slave, but he is not the one who inherits the throne.

And Yue Tuo was also reused by Huang Taiji, who used Yue Tuo to seize the military power of Dai Shan, and once made Yue Tuo a prince. Stand side by side with Daishan.

Of course, the importance of Yue Tuo still can't be compared with Dai Shan, once Dai Shan doesn't compete with Huang Taiji for power, Huang Taiji also reciprocated, pressed Yue Tuo down, and cut him to the king of Keqin County, however, Huang Taiji still attaches great importance to Yue Tuo, and he just suppresses Yue Tuo, and there is an important meaning.

But I don't want to take a day off from the year.

Yue Tuo's death on the march also made Huang Taiji very sad.

Luo Luohun is the son of Yue Tuo and inherited Yue Tuo's title. is also Dai Shan's grandson, when Yue Tuo was there, he dared not deal with Dai Shan, but Luo Luohun, a junior, did not dare, so Luo Luohun was waiting behind Dai Shan at the moment.

looks like a filial son and grandson.

As for the rest, there are still some ministers. However, they are all Manchurian ministers, and there are very few Hanchens, of course, not nothing, that is, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, the two of them are also dressed as money rats, and in the eyes of the Manchus, they are their own people. Unlike other Han Chinese officials.

Soon after Dolgon arrived, he had not yet exchanged a few words with the kings when he heard, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”
