Volume VIII Troubled Times

Chapter 5 The situation in the DPRK is turbulent and the troops are withdrawn

Section 3 Dajin becomes Daqing

After Nurhachi's death, Huang Taiji ordered the burial of the eldest concubine Ulanala and the two concubines on the grounds that the previous emperor had a last word, clearing the way for his succession to the throne. After that, Daishan and his sons Sakhalian and Azig jointly assumed the throne of Emperor Taiji.

Shengjing, the Great Palace.

Dai Shan said to the ministers of Zhubeile: "The four Baylors are the best in the world, the military achievements are great, and they are deeply in line with the sacred heart of the first emperor, and everyone is satisfied, and they should succeed to the throne as soon as possible." ”

Everyone saw that Dai Shan, who was the eldest brother, was fully supporting Huang Taiji, and Nurhachi's concubines had already been buried, who would raise objections at this time? Therefore, all the Belle is a combination of words to invite Huang Taiji to the throne", and Huang Taiji "resigned three times, and it was promised for a long time", so he was praised by everyone as the Great Khan.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse (the tenth year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate), at the beginning of July. Huang Taiji was in the Shengjing Palace, that is, the throne of Khan, burned incense to the sky, and declared the following year as the first year of Tiancong.

In view of the new defeat of Dajin at the hands of the Han Wei army, the demoralization of the banner generals, the lack of money and food in the country, and the discouragement of the local people, Huang Taiji ordered the enthronement ceremony to be simple in order to save money and food. After officially ascending the throne, Huang Taiji couldn't wait to convene all the Baylor ministers to discuss in the Great Hall of Justice, and began to deal with the aftermath of the defeat.

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly had a feeling that the world was in his hands, but this feeling did not last long, and was pulled back by the cruel reality. Huang Taiji frowned and looked at the mountains of twists and turns in front of the case, and began to calm down to deal with the aftermath after the Ningyuan War.

After straightening out many affairs, the first order issued by Huang Taiji was that the banners and armies immediately went south to take over the southern Liaoning region, pushed the battle line to the area of the Liao River, and confronted the Han Wei army across the Liao River; Second, it was ordered to measure the land of the whole country, and all the "surplus land" was returned to the public and distributed to the households for cultivation, and the banner owners and nobles were not allowed to private farms; Third, the original 13 Zhuang Ding was changed to 1 Zhuang for every 8 Zhuang Ding, and "the rest of the Han people were divided into separate residences and classified as private households." He also ordered the compilation of Zhuang Ding and the liberation of some slaves and maids as the people, so as to enrich the people's power and develop production.

These measures of Huang Taiji have restricted the privileges of the Jiannu nobles to a certain extent, but they are conducive to the development of agricultural production and the expansion of the national strength of the Jin State. Seeing this, the rest of the Jiannu nobles were a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but they couldn't come forward to stop it, so they could only execute it.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji issued several decrees, abolishing the old system of the Great Khan and the three major bailes sitting in the south and managing the government together, and changed to sit alone in the south, highlighting the exclusive position of the Khan, so that the Khan's power was consolidated, so that the decrees promulgated by himself could be implemented without the slightest hindrance; In addition, Huang Taiji also ordered the reform of the political system, imitating the Ming system, with three courtyards and six ministries, stopping the affairs of the Wang Baylor Consulate Department, and taking charge of government affairs by himself, and setting up the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Imperial Academy, establishing a relatively complete set of state institutions, completely hollowing out the original Jiannu aristocracy, and making the national politics of the Jin State completely fall under the control of Huang Taiji.

At the same time, Huang Taiji felt that the army of each banner suffered heavy casualties, and the strength was somewhat stretched, and it was no longer able to deal with the threat from the Han Wei army, so in order to expand the source of troops, he created the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia were subordinate to the corresponding banners of the Eight Banners of Jiannu; At the same time, Huang Taiji also ignored the strong opposition of Dai Shan and Azig, and set up a Wuzhen Chaoha firearms battalion in the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and began to build firearms and artillery in order to compete with the sharp firearms of the Han Wei Army.

Seeing that Huang Taiji had promulgated so many major reform measures as soon as he came to power, and there was a great momentum to completely revise the national politics of the Jin State, Dai Shan secretly said in his heart: "The Great Khan is going to completely overthrow his father Khan's governance line!" I just don't know if these measures of the Great Khan can get Dajin out of the current predicament. ”

Just when Dai Shan was secretly thinking about his thoughts, Huang Taiji announced another amazing decision: reappoint the Eight Banners Bannerman! Huang Taiji himself governed the two yellow flags, and at the same time appointed Dai Shan as the owner of the red flag, Azig as the owner of the red flag, Haug as the owner of the blue flag, Zilharang as the owner of the blue flag, Dolgon as the owner of the white flag, and Duoduo as the owner of the white flag.

When he heard that the two red flags that were originally led by him were divided into two and the red flags were assigned to Azig, Dai Shan's heart was full of anger, and a feeling of being deceived instantly came to his heart. So, Dai Shan looked up at Huang Taiji on the dragon chair violently, and just wanted to open his mouth to argue, but found that Huang Taiji was also staring at him, his eyes were full of fierceness. At this time, Dai Shan's heart was suddenly shocked, and he reacted instantly: Now he is already a courtier! So, Dai Shan hurriedly lowered his head to show obedience.

"Yes! The Great Khan brought in Zilharang, Dolgon, and Duoduo to act as banner lords, just to fight against me and Azig and to contain each other. And handing over the blue flag to Hauge is ready to pave the way for his son! ”

Thinking of this, Dai Shan felt a trace of regret in his heart, but after thinking about it, the current Dajin Kingdom can only be led by a ruthless person like Huang Taiji, and there will be hope for revitalization, otherwise there will really be a danger of destroying the country!

So, Dai Shan breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the appearance of the old god, and continued to listen to Huang Taiji's will.

"From now on, each banner will select elite armor soldiers to act as Bayala, as the elite soldiers of each banner and the guardian of the banner owner......"

On the top of the main hall, everyone quietly listened to Huang Taiji's will, and a thought came out of everyone's hearts: "After the Great Khan ascends the throne, maybe the Dajin Kingdom is really going to change the sky!" ”

In the next two months, Huang Taiji began the action of reorganizing the army of the Eight Banners, and the wild Jurchens in the mountains and forests of Horqin Mongolia, Han people and young people in various places, and Nuer Gandusi were all assembled, and under the auspices of Daishan, Azig and other banner owners, the reorganization of the Eight Banners of Jiannu, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty began.

At the same time, Huang Taiji was still constantly improving the internal affairs and official system of Jiannu, and vigorously resumed production and hoarded money, food and weapons. In order to prepare for the construction of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, Huang Taiji opened up a large-scale workshop on the outskirts of Shengjing City for the purpose of making artillery and firearms; Huang Taiji saw that the firearms workshop lacked iron materials and specialized talents, so he specially sent people to carry a large amount of goods to contact the Jin merchants, and entrusted the Jin merchants to raise relevant talents and materials for Jiannu.

In just two months, the Jin country, which was originally in decline and demoralized, began to regain its vitality, and both national strength and military strength began to rise slowly. Seeing this, Dai Shan, Azig, Zilharang and other banner lords were all afraid of Huang Taiji, the new Khan, and felt that it was unfathomable, and they all tried their best to do their errands, and they did not dare to have the slightest neglect.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse (the tenth year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate), at the beginning of October.

After Huang Taiji straightened out the internal affairs, he summoned all the six banner lords of Daishan, Azig, Haoge, Zilharang, Dolgon, and Duoduo back to Beijing, held a court meeting in the Dazheng Palace, and summoned the ministers of Jiannu Baylor to the scene.

Huang Taiji sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, looking at the ministers and banner masters who were respectful and respectful, and his heart was extremely happy. Huang Taiji first talked about the major measures he had made since he ascended the throne and the related results, and then announced an astonishing decision: change the name of Dajin to the Qing Dynasty, and change the name of the state to Manchuria!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and a loud noise suddenly broke out above the main hall, and everyone spoke out against it and began to shout. Even Dai Shan was unusual, and said fiercely: "Great Khan, the country name and clan name are all determined by the Heavenly Mandate Khan, how can this be easily changed!" The name of the country has changed, so wouldn't it be a self-destruction! ”

As soon as the words fell, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to have found a bosom friend, and they became even more excited, and they spoke out against Huang Taiji's decision, and the situation in the hall instantly became a little out of control.

Above the main hall, among the many Baylor ministers, only Hauge, Dolgon, and Duoduo were silent, just quietly watching the civil and military ministers who were arguing. But the difference is that Haoge wants to help Huang Taiji speak, but he is soft-spoken, and there is no proud feats to support him, and almost no one will pay attention to him; Dolgon and Dordor, on the other hand, watched the joke from the sidelines, wanting to see how the Emperor Taiji was prepared to deal with the situation in front of him.

At this time, Huang Taiji looked at the excited ministers in front of him, and the anger in his heart was about to be uncontrollable. Finally, Huang Taiji slapped the handrail and shouted: "This is the Great Political Palace, not the streets and alleys of the market, what are you going to do?" Do you want to rebel! ”

In an instant, the entire hall was completely silent, and everyone stood back in their positions like wilted eggplants, and no one dared to face the angry Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji looked at everyone with a sneer and said, "The reason why I want to change the name of the country and the name of the clan is because of the defeat of Ning Yuan, and it is because my clan has reached a critical moment of life and death!" If we can't be reborn in Nirvana, then we can only die together! And changing the name of the country and the name of the clan is the beginning of nirvana! If any of you disagree, stand up! ”

After finishing speaking, Huang Taiji looked at the people in front of him coldly, and a pair of vicious triangular eyes made everyone tremble. After a long time, the entire hall was silent, and no one made a sound.

"Since there is no one to object anymore, then the matter is settled! From now on, you will call me Your Majesty, and my Qing Dynasty will no longer be a border Hu clan, but a great country that will enter the south and conquer the Central Plains! ”

Looking at the ambitious Huang Taiji, Dai Shan secretly said in his heart: "However, with Liu Yunwei and hundreds of thousands of Han Wei troops, can Daqing really enter the Central Plains?" ”
