After Huang Taiji brought Dolgon to his study, he abandoned the idle people, leaving only him and Dolgon alone in the study.

Only then did Huang Taiji signal Dolgon to sit down and talk to him, "There are no outsiders here, they are all their own brothers, so there is no need to talk about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister." Let's all relax, just like we used to speak freely in front of our father Khan, and don't have any scruples. I see that you still don't seem to be satisfied with the main hall just now, so you might as well continue talking here. ”

Although Huang Taiji showed a long-lost brotherhood, Dolgon did not dare to be presumptuous, he still adhered to the etiquette set by those Han people for the Qing Dynasty, sat on the chair upright and restrained, and thanked Huang Taiji for the grace of the throne before he opened his mouth to reply.

"The younger brother obeyed the order, just now the Great Political Hall was full of people, and the younger brother did not say something. Finding someone to plot against Amin is just one of them, and then we can also leak the news of our exchange with Amin to Gunchuk Taiji, and ask him to report the news to Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Fengda.

The younger brother thought that it was the Ming Emperor who could treat Amin and my country's descendants magnanimously, not the officials of the Ming State. The one who was able to drive Amin and our people to attack our country was also the Ming Emperor rather than the Ming State's Wenchen Doctor.

From the point of view of the younger brothers, the scholars and scholars of the Ming Kingdom have not changed much in the past few decades. They are still the arrogant and narrow-minded people in the mouth of their father Khan, who drive their military ministers as if they were their own domestic slaves, and treat countries other than the Ming Dynasty as savages and barbarians.

Just like those scholars who have surrendered to our country, although they keep claiming that the Khan is the lord of the world, they still regard us as barbarians in their hearts, otherwise they would not have persuaded the Khan to reform our country according to the Han people's state system all day long. In their eyes, only a state established according to Chinese etiquette is qualified to rule them. If this continues, will this Qing Dynasty be the Qing Dynasty of the Han people, or the Qing Dynasty of the Manchu people..."

"Alright." Huang Taiji interrupted Dolgon's words in displeasure and said, "I have summoned you here to hear your thoughts on the external situation that our country is currently facing, not to hear you talk about the difference between Manchu and Han. You'd better get down to business. ”

"Yes, King Khan." Dolgon immediately stopped talking, and then changed his words and said, "Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Fengda, fought with us when he was guarding Ningyuan. Father Khan once commented on him, he was fierce and timid, rigid and self-serving, good at talking, and liked to be famous, but he had neither the ability to be a royal nor the wisdom of people. Such a person can become the commander of the Ming army, which shows that there is no one in the Southern Dynasty.

If it can continue to guard Liaoxi, Liaoxi will no longer belong to the Southern Dynasty in the future. Under the actions of this person, the military system of the Ming army will inevitably be corrupted, and the generals of Liaoxi, who have lost their restraint, will inevitably take the opportunity to divide the territory, and the west of our country will have no worries. It's a pity that after the battle of Ningyuan, the Emperor of the Apocalypse removed him, and although Emperor Chongzhen used him after he ascended the throne, he did not let him return to Liaoxi, which is a great loss for our country.

With Yuan Chonghuan's character, once he learned from the mouth of Gunchuk Taiji, there was a secret connection between Amin and us. The subordinate brother can assert that the first thing that comes to this person's mind will not be to find out the truth of this matter, but will try to relieve Amin of his military power first and put Amin under house arrest.

And with Amin's character, the younger brother thought that he would not be arrested, and Amin would rebel even if he didn't want to. Once Amin raised the flag and rebelled, there would be a flaw in the Ming State's encirclement of our country. Not to mention, once the truth is revealed, Yuan Chonghuan will inevitably shift the responsibility to Gunchuktaiji, so how can Gunchuktaiji not take refuge in our country to avoid trouble?

Once the Ming State forced Amin and Gonchuktaiji, could the Mongol tribes still believe in the Ming State's policy of favoring them? As long as the Mongol tribes are suspicious of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's strategy of driving the Mongol tribes to encircle our country will be regarded as a failure. Without the assistance of the Mongol tribes to the Ming Dynasty, our country would not have been able to continue the struggle against the Ming Kingdom..."

After listening to Dolgon's thoughts, Huang Taiji couldn't help but secretly applaud. Among the children of the Aixin Jueluo family, Dolgon, who is increasingly admired by everyone, is obviously not in vain. And this is exactly what Huang Taiji wants, if he can use a few kind words to make Ming Guo go to his wings, he doesn't mind bowing his head to say hello to Amin.

Huang Taiji nodded at Dolgon and said, "Good, your books over the years have really not been read in vain. You just said that this Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty of the Han people, or the Qing Dynasty of the Manchu people. I think you're a fan of the authorities.

In today's Qing Dynasty, the Manchus, Mongols, and Han people are three-legged, and none of them can be missing. Reform the old evils and adopt the etiquette of the Han people, not to turn us Manchus into Han people, but to make us Manchus stronger.

If we blindly stick to the difference between Manchu and Han, then the Qing Dynasty will not say that it will be difficult to enter the Guan, and even establish a foothold in Liaodong. Besides, there is no difference between Manchus, Mongols, and Han people in this world, it is just that they are born differently. If the population is forcibly distinguished by the difference in living customs, then the Ming Kingdom should have been divided into seventeen or eight parts a long time ago, how can it become the current unified dynasty?

The Manchurians are to Manchuria, just as the people of Shandong are to Shandong, and the people of Hebei are to Hebei, only the place of origin is different, and there should be no difference between people. Therefore, there is no difference between the Mandate of Heaven of the Han people, the Mandate of the Mongols, and the Mandate of Heaven of the Manchu people. If we admit that there is a difference between Manchu and Han, then should we recognize the difference between Manchu and Mongolia? So is the mandate of the Manchus different from the mandate of the Han people? So what will my Qing Dynasty use to rule all directions? ”

Dolgon admits in his heart that Huang Taiji sees farther than himself, but he still won't accept Huang Taiji's opinion. This Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty of Huang Taiji, but not the Qing Dynasty of his Dolgon. Putting the Han and the Manchus on an equal footing is tantamount to depriving them of the rights of the Manchu and Mongolian nobles, and sharing them with the Han people who wag their tails and beg for mercy to Huang Taiji, who are grateful to Huang Taiji and not to him Dolgon, how can he accept this.

What's more, as Huang Taiji's power became heavier and heavier, Dolgon could only use the idea of Manchu and Han differentiation to unite the conservatives among the Manchus and fight against Huang Taiji's power, how could he dare to let go of his protective shield easily.

Of course, in front of Huang Taiji, he still showed a little remorse, so that both sides could go down. “… The Khan's foresight is beyond the reach of his courtiers. However, what my brother thinks about is that I am full of ragged clothes and followed my father Khan to create this foundation, and now that life is a little better, I want to let those Han people sit on an equal footing with us, does this hurt my heart a little? ”

Looking at Dolgon in front of him, although respectful but unconvinced, Huang Taiji also had an extremely headache. But he also knew how he could convince others to accept his ideas if he couldn't convince Dorgon. In the current Qing Dynasty, only Dolgon can compete with Yue Tuo, who is on Hauge's side.

Although Yue Tuo was the number one general in his hands in the past, he was not on his side in a series of governing concepts such as using Han officials to reform the government, and he was a banner man who always insisted on giving priority to the Manchurians. Although Dolgon also advocated the division between Manchu and Han, his attitude was relatively moderate, so Huang Taiji considered him an object that could be broken through.

After thinking about it for a while, Huang Taiji decided to talk to Dolgon in more depth, and he said while thinking: "Yes, what you said is right, my Jurchen built the foundation of the country, relying on the strength of my Manchurians, and the Han people did not have any credit at first. But do you know why I have been able to win all battles against the Ming people since the founding of the Manchurian country? ”

Dolgon thought for a moment and said, "It is my father Khan who is wise, the five ministers who are loyal, and the Zhubel who are sincere and united, and I am full of brave and unparalleled warriors, and Ming people who are cowardly. ”

Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "Otherwise, what you just said is not the point. The key point is that the Ming people are full of internal contradictions, and every time they go to war with our country, they cannot exert all their strength.

When Li Chengliang governed Liaodong that day, with the strength of Liaodong alone, he had already suppressed his father Khan and the barbarians of Liaodong who did not dare to have different ambitions. It was also after the death of Li Chengliang that no one in Liaodong could sort out the manpower and material resources in Liaodong, and his father Khan dared to raise troops with seven hatreds.

And in the battle of Salhu, the Ming people divided their troops into four ways to fight separately, which proved that the judgment of his father Khan was correct. After several wars with the Ming State, it was also the Ming court that dragged each other's hind legs, resulting in many orders and discouragement, which made our country easily take the land west of the river.

But in fact, every battle that Father Khan fought, he had to deal with not an entire Ming country, but a team of the Ming country, which was a small part of the strength of the Ming country. The Ming Kingdom used the tactics of adding fuel and raising salaries to deal with the heroes of our country's hundred battles, how can it be undefeated?

However, since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne ten years ago, everything he has done has been to unite people's hearts and sort out the channels of communication between the upper and lower levels, so as to ensure that the Ming court can mobilize the greatest strength in a short period of time.

Therefore, our defeat in Jizhou and Monan grassland was not lost to the military of the Ming State, but to the material and manpower mobilized by the Ming State. However, the strength that the Ming State could mobilize that day was only the manpower and material resources of one or several provinces in the north, and if the Ming Kingdom could easily mobilize the strength of the whole country one day, my Qing Dynasty would be really in danger. ”

Dolgon's expression at this time was only touched, the struggle between him and Huang Taiji could not endanger the existence of the Great Qing Dynasty, without the Great Qing Kingdom, naturally there would be no existence of the Eight Banners and the Aixinjue Luo clan.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he replied a little hoarsely: "Since Emperor Taizu and Emperor Shizu of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Ming of all dynasties has never mobilized the strength of the entire Ming Kingdom. Is the Khan's concern too much? ”

Huang Taiji calmly looked at Dolgon, and Dolgon, who was watching, lowered his head and went behind before he spoke: "I also hope that I am filtered, but from the Ming newspapers and the information sent back by those spies from the Ming Dynasty, I don't think my judgment is wrong."

Whether it is the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Shizu, or the first Khan. There is no better way to mobilize a nation's power than to wage war. Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, although he has repeatedly said that he wants to live in peace with us, he has not hesitated at all when he uses force.

Even, because he talked about peace every day, the ministers of the Ming Kingdom who opposed the war lost the reason to prevent him from arming and fighting. This person's words and deeds are inconsistent, and his ruthless posture is not comparable to the previous generations of Ming emperors.

He not only found an opportunity to annex the Mongolian right-wing tribes, but also took over the Chahar tribes, and now he has extended his hand into the Mobei steppe and the north and east of our country. In addition to this, he has been waging wars overseas, first against Japan, second against Vietnam, and third against the Nanyang Islands. It was through these wars that Chongzhen not only mastered the armies of the Ming Kingdom, but also controlled the power of the Ming Kingdom in the hands of the imperial court little by little.

Chongzhen wants to take the power of the entire Ming Dynasty into his own hands, and now it is only a matter of time. But with the power he has in his hands alone, it is no longer a force that we can deal with. At such a time, if we continue to divide internally, and talk about the difference between Manchu and Han, the destruction of the Qing Dynasty will only be a handful..."
