The most terrifying thing is that the reinforcements can arrive in time, can he really withstand Li Zicheng's fierce offensive with some troops in Chongzhen's capital? The officials and lords in the city don't have their own little Jiujiu plans in their stomachs, you must know that the fortress often collapses first from the inside.

Shen Xingke, who is familiar with this history, clearly knows that when Li Zicheng besieged Jingshi, the traitors who led the way were a large group of Wuyang. The funniest thing is that Chongzhen actually ignores the bubonic plague that is spreading like the city of Beijing. You must know that in history, this was the last straw that crushed his old man.

It is precisely because of the severity of the epidemic that millions of people in Beijing are panicked, and the army collapses without a fight, but Shen Xing still plans to save this unlucky emperor, because if he is really dead now, he is really afraid to imagine how terrible things will be.

However, Huang Taiji, who was the opposite of Chongzhen, the bloody emperor, reformed the political economy and made great efforts to govern the country, and after taking Jinzhou, he did not abandon the policy of his father Khan Nurhachi's foreign expansion when he vigorously implemented reforms in the country. He ordered the army to build a red-coat cannon with lethal power, and to transform a single cavalry unit into a multi-arm army of cavalry, artillery, and infantry.

Huang Taiji attached great importance to the role of Han landlords and intellectuals and the Ming Dynasty's demoted officials and generals, and adopted a policy of recruiting and buying them. Not only did he pass the examination of Confucian scholars, but he also recruited more than 200 Han literati, and since then, he has held many examinations, distinguishing the advantages and disadvantages, and recruiting them according to the quantity.

A large number of generals were given farmland, slaves, and horses, and were entrusted with official positions. The act of voluntarily coming to the Ming Dynasty to vote was crowned the king and the marquis, and the favor was great. With the submission of most of the Mongols and the submission of the Ming generals, Huang Taiji gradually established the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, which greatly enhanced the military strength.

On the economic front, on the basis of the original, the rule in the northeast was consolidated and expanded, and full preparations were made for entering the customs to rule the whole of China. He said that the emperor immediately made the protection of land and livestock a legal code, and the crops in the field were not allowed to be stolen, and sows were not allowed to be killed, which was for breeding. It is not permissible to kill horses or oxen for sacrifice or to sell them. Since then, almost every year, he has regarded the supervision of farming as an important activity, and has proposed that "agricultural time should not be lost" and "those who waste agriculture are guilty".

He knew that the five grains were the fate of all the people, so he repeatedly stressed the importance of doing a good job in agricultural production, and in a short period of time, the grain doubled, and a large number of Han craftsmen who had been taken captive in the past few years greatly increased the handicraft production of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the smelting and casting industry also developed vigorously. Commercial trade existed within the territory, as well as with Ming and North Korea.

Seeing that Shen Xing was relaxing the border, Huang Taiji immediately ordered the scholar Xifu to lead a huge delegation of Niu Lu Zhangjing's family members to Zhangjiakou to trade, which was used to replace the losses of the eight major merchants in Shanxi. Later, he ordered people to buy horses in Guihua City (now Hohhot City). There are also examples of individuals who have traveled far away to trade.

Huang Taiji's rule also continued to make use of the Eight Banners, an organization that integrated the military and the government. He made Eight Banners more and more vibrant through change. The first is to constantly add new members to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the second is to improve and expand the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

Manchuria at the time of Nurhachi was called "Buddha Manchuria", that is, old Manchuria. Huang Taiji used troops against Heilongjiang and other places many times, bringing a large number of ethnic minorities to join the Manchurian community, which was called "Yiche Manchuria", that is, New Manchuria. Huang Taiji incorporated New Manchuria into the Eight Banners.

At one time, the New Manchurian Zhuangding and his family of 5,673 people captured by Sauron were compiled into Niu Lu and subordinated to the Eight Banners. At the same time, the 42 New Manchurian Zhuangmen captured by the Kurkha conquest supplemented the shortage of armor in each banner. In addition to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia were established earlier than the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

However, the development of the eight banners of the Han army is the most snapshot of the Manchurian case, the Han army is divided into two flags, and it was expanded to four flags two years earlier, each flag is set up with 18 people in Niulu Zhangjing, one person in Gushan Ezhen, two people in Meler Zhangjing, and four people in Jialazhangjing, but the interior is still divided into two flags of yellow and yellow, two flags of white and white, two flags of red and red, and two flags of blue and blue. The establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Army was officially completed.

Huang Taiji said: "If our country goes out, it will be a soldier, and if it enters, it will be for the people. This expansion of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Mongol Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army not only strengthened the armed forces of the Qing Dynasty, but also exercised a deeper level of control over the broad masses of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han people. Especially in order to seize a large territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Eight Banners of the Han Army founded by Huang Taiji are of great significance.

He ordered not only the local Han people to engage in agriculture, but even the Manchus also took agriculture as their own business. Huang Taiji cherished the people's power and stopped building the city and walls, in order to "specialize in the south and focus on the main business". All the village land, the Eight Banners have been stabilized, and they should not be changed in the future. It is forbidden to arbitrarily take the property of the villagers and the cattle, sheep, chickens, pigs, etc. As a result of these efforts, agriculture has developed to a great extent, grain has basically been self-sufficient, and social contradictions have been eased.

Huang Taiji also recognized the importance of the development of culture and education in governing the country, and said that he could not think that he would not make a mistake if he did not study. It is stipulated that all children of the ministers of Baylor shall be ordered to study under the age of fifteen and over the age of eight. [ He attaches great importance to absorbing the advanced culture of the Han nationality, and the Chinese books that have been translated into the book include "The Dictionary of the Criminal Department", "Sushu", "Sanlu", "Wanbao Quanshu", and "Zizhi Tongjian", "Liutao", "Mencius", "Three Kingdoms" and so on.

Today, with the development of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people of different nationalities and regions in Manchu, Han and Mongolia have gathered in the east and west of the Liao River. Contradictions between the conqueror and the vanquished, within the Manchu rulers, and so on, were intricately intertwined. Later, they entered the customs several times and plundered millions of people and animals, and the Han people in Liaodong suddenly outnumbered the Manchurians.

How to stabilize the hearts of the Han people almost became the key to the survival of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Faced with the situation of "the state is not consolidated", Huang Taiji realized that "the key to governing the country is not to settle the people first". Therefore, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he emphasized that "the Manchu and Han people belong to one", and paid special attention to eliminating and alleviating the contradictions between the Manchu and Han nationalities in eastern Liaodong.

After several years of efforts, although there were no longer a large number of Han people being killed, or Han people poisoning, blocking roads and robbing and killing, Huang Taiji still paid attention to alleviating the social contradictions of the Qing Dynasty. He ordered his subordinates to do a good job of "raising people", especially to settle the newly plundered or surrendered Manchurians, Mongols, and Han Chinese.

In Huang Taiji's later years, his sons and nephews complained in front of him that Taizu killed the Han people, and now the Han people are the kings and the people of Angbang Zhangjing, while the Manchurian clan has officials and people, "The times are reversed, and this is the case!" ”

However, Huang Taiji did not waver in his national policy and repeatedly issued edicts emphasizing leniency towards the Han people in Liaodong, "The Han officials and Han people in our country have selfish desires to abscond in the past, and those who are now spies and correspondents are in the past, although they are the first, they will be ignored"; emphasizing the unity of Manchu and Han, "all those who try criminals and errand official duties will not cause similarities and differences"; ordered to prohibit the harassment of Han people, "those who take the cattle, sheep, chickens, and dolphins of the Zhuang people (referring to the Han people) without permission are guilty of it";

It is clearly stipulated that "Han people live separately and are classified as private households"; The policy of Nurhachi's massacre of Han Chinese was changed and replaced with "benevolence". Huang Taiji repeatedly instructed his subordinates to "be kind to all those who belong to the old and the new", and regarded the deliberate harassment of the Han people as "bad foundation". It also stipulates that "the officials of the Han Dynasty shall be governed by the merits of the upbringing" as the assessment criterion of "distinguishing the advantages and disadvantages".

"Whoever comes down in the future, if the Beyles knowingly kills him, he shall be punished by ten households; Belle did not know it, but the little people were reckless and the murderers were put to death, and his wife was a slave. "Emperor Taiji repeatedly reaffirmed that the Ming people who surrendered, that is, our people, and those who plundered the property of the surrendered places will be killed, and those who kill the people without permission will be punished." ”

Huang Taiji's "benevolence" of the Han people in Liaodong and a series of other policies played a role in winning the hearts of the Han people in Liaodong to a certain extent at that time, but due to the limitations of his nationality and class as an ancient, in handling ethnic relations, Huang Taiji also favored the Manchus and oppressed other nationalities.

First of all, while he tried his best to dilute the national consciousness of the Han people, he also tried his best to strengthen the national consciousness of the Manchu people. During the period of Huang Taiji, several times into the customs to plunder millions of people and animals, the area of rule is expanding day by day, the population has increased dramatically, coupled with the advanced Han culture with an unstoppable impact on the entire Manchu society, all of which caused Huang Taiji to be highly vigilant. He began by prescribing a series of restrictions.

In terms of language, Huang Taiji emphasized that Han officials and Han people must learn Manchu in view of the situation of ethnic cohabitation and Manchu people learning Chinese. At that time, people who did not know Manchu were discriminated against. Many Han officials, "just because they do not understand the Manchu language, they are ridiculed, or they are **, causing them to cry sadly". At the same time, it was also stipulated that the names of officials and the names of the relevant cities should be changed to Manchu.

Originally, during the Nurhachi period, in the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven (the forty-eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, 1620), he imitated the Ming official system of "Sequence Wujue", and the rank of the chief military officer was the third class, and its deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas were also the same. There are four members of the total number of thousands of cattle recorded." Huang Taiji stipulated, "First according to the Han people's name of the general soldier, deputy general, staff general, guerrilla, and reserve, in the future, it is not allowed to be called", and it is also called Gushan Ezhen, Niu Lu Ezhen and other Manchu official names.

He also changed the names of some Chinese cities to Manchu, "its Shenyang City, called Tianjuan Shengjing; The city of Hetuara is called the heavens and the king." In addition, in terms of clothing, the Huang Taiji period stipulated that "all Han officials and men and women wear them in accordance with the Manchurian style". Huang Taiji also repeatedly admonished the Manchu people to maintain the custom of riding and shooting, and tried to strengthen the national consciousness of the Manchu people through this series of measures.

But it is precisely because of such limitations and inequality that it also laid hidden dangers for the Han people to fight back against the Manchus in the future.
