Chapter 213 Fate is inescapable
Amin was bound hand and foot, gagged, but still unwilling to give in, struggling to himself, whining and yelling endlessly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And Huang Taiji didn't care what he said at this time, and quickly waved out another henchman.
Huerhan stepped forward, unfolded a scroll, and read it out loud.
This scroll is naturally the edict of King Khan of Huang Taiji. The content of the edict was that the ministers present discussed Amin's guilt and the punishment of Amin, who had only been formed in the morning.
Hearing Huerhan begin to read out his guilt, Amin, who had been struggling all along, gave up his struggle for the time being, and stopped shouting incoherently.
His eyes widened full of resentment, listening to Hu Erhan's reading, at first listening to Hu Erhan say that he was unruly, resentful, arrogant and violated, no one was courteous, lost his division and returned home, lost his soldiers and generals, resulting in the tragic death of the twelve Bel Azig, and the heavy losses of the main force of the red flag, etc., he always had a disdainful look, until Hu Erhan read: "After the eight kings sat side by side and discussed together, and the five scholars seconded the proposal, immediately deprived Amin of the identity of the lord of the red flag with the red flag, cut off the title of the second beyler, and gave him a secluded residence in the backyard of the original beyler mansion. You must not take half a step out of the secluded place for the rest of your life. The eight kings discussed together, and never forgive. ”
Hearing that he would repeat the mistake of Chu Ying, the eldest son of Nuer Hachi, and that he would also be imprisoned and live in seclusion until death, Amin was even more angry in his heart, and began to struggle again, although he had a whole satin sweat towel stuffed in his mouth, he was still trying to whine.
But Huang Taiji would not give him a chance to speak publicly again, and Hu Erhan just finished reading the edict in his hand regardless of it.
As for the content that followed, Amin didn't listen carefully anymore, but only heard in a trance that he was the owner of the blue flag, gave his only brother Zilharang, and also saw Jilharang enter the palace and calmly accepted the results after the discussion of the eight kings.
And during the whole process, his own brother Zilharang didn't even look at him. It was only at this time that Amin gave up resisting.
If his own brother Zilharang and Huang Taiji and others were occupied, then he would have no room for resistance at all.
First of all, in order to prevent the destruction of the Eight Banners system after death, the old slave Nuer Hachi designed a rather complex system of mutual constraints, and the owners of each banner have the power to kill and seize the big and small officials under their own banners, and this power cannot be interfered with even as a great khan.
Secondly, after the position of the banner owner of the Eight Banners was determined from Nuer Hachi, in principle, it was to be hereditary, even if it was an ordinary bannerman, it was not allowed to change the flag status at will, and the position of the banner owner could only be inherited by his eldest son after the death of the banner owner or after committing an unforgivable crime.
Unless he has no heirs, not even a brother or nephew, he can give it to outsiders. This is also the origin of the so-called hereditary replacement **** of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, it is also the origin of the so-called inability to enter the eight points of the Manchu prince Baylor, which is the earliest descendant of Bagu Mountain and Shuobeile (Bagu Mountain, that is, the later owner of the Eight Banners) who were personally sealed by Nuer Hachi, and it is called eight points, no, it is not called eight points.
No matter how many years have passed*****, the so-called hereditary recklessness of the Manchu Dynasty in later generations has been regarded as eight points in terms of political status and treatment.
And after Nuer Hachi, Huang Taiji was divided, especially some other princes who were successively divided after Shunzhi and Kangxi, all of them were so-called not included in the eight points.
Specifically, all the princes who have entered the eighth point, no matter how big the crime is, at least they will not be beheaded or executed, and at most they will be confined until they die of old age or illness.
Another is that for the handling of the flag owner after committing a major crime, even if Huang Taiji is the Great Khan, the nominal co-owner of the Eight Banners, it cannot be punished at will, and if you want to punish the flag owner who has committed a major crime, it must be discussed by the Eight Banners, that is, the Eight Kings.
This is also the origin of the Eight Kings Council.
Because any banner owner of the Eight Banners, when Nuer Hachi was first divided, their status was completely equal, which was also recognized by the various banner owners and ministers of the Eight Banners.
This is why Huang Taiji wants to deprive Amin of the position of banner lord at the moment, and must mobilize the people at the expense of resuming the Eight Kings Discussion.
The Eight Kings only discuss major matters related to the Eight Banners, and the change of any banner owner is the biggest thing in the Eight Banners.
However, even if Huang Taiji had the explicit support of six of the Eight Kings, he could only do so at best to hand over the position of Blue Banner Master to Amin's younger brother Zilharang.
First, Zilharang is Amin's younger brother and has the qualifications to inherit the position of banner master. Second, Zilharang is the solid mountain Ezhen of the blue flag, which is equivalent to the minister in charge of the blue flag under Amin, and the most important thing is that he has half of the power of the blue flag in his hands.
Of course, after Amin was deprived of the position of banner owner, if he still had an heir, the blue flag should actually be handed over to his heirs to inherit.
But this time, the Eight Kings Discussion was completely dominated by Huang Taiji, and several of the banner owners who clearly supported Huang Taiji, such as Daishan, Yue Tuo, Dolgon, Duoduo, etc., were more willing to see Jilharang inherit the position of the banner lord with the blue flag.
After all, compared with father and son, the relationship between brothers is much more indifferent.
If the blue flag is given to Amin's son, who knows if one day his son will settle old accounts and seek justice for his father?
And to Amin's younger brother, then this problem does not exist.
The so-called Eight Kings Discussion in the Dugong Palace, before Amin entered Shenyang City, had actually been in session for a long time, and the agreed disposal had already been agreed.
Huang Taiji sent Yanguli outside the city of Shenyang to welcome Amin into the city, but he was only brought in to announce the results of the meeting of the eight kings.
At the same time that Amin was convicted in the palace of Dugong, a fierce battle of siege and rebellion took place outside the gates of the Khan's palace.
The news of Amin's conviction was soon read out in public at the gates of the Khan's palace in the form of a decree of the Khan.
The 300 blue-flaged guards who followed Amin into the city were still frightened and at a loss when they were surrounded by two white flags and two red flags.
Next, whether or not they were preparing to surrender and confess, Amin's 300 cronies and protectors in the blue flag were quickly killed by the 2,000 taels of white flags and two red flags outside the gate of the Khan's palace.
After Amin's crime was announced, Zilharang went to the outside of Shenyang with the edict agreed upon by the eight kings, and the blue-inlaid banner Meler Ezhen Fu Erdan, who was in charge of leading the army outside the city, saw the edict and soon led his subordinates to accept Zilharang as the new blue-flag bannerman, while Fu Erdan had no intention of continuing to be his Meler Ezhen.
A few days later, Amin was escorted out of the Khan's palace by the guards of the Two Yellow Flags and sent back to his original Baylor house, where a wall of more than two feet high had been erected.
There were no doors or windows above the walls, only ladders to put food inside, and tight guards outside the walls.
Within the high walls, there is an independent courtyard, several main houses and several side rooms, and this is the place where Amin and several of his wives and concubines will live and live in the future.
Zilharang succeeded Amin as the owner of the Blue Banner, but at the cost of having to hand over ten Niulu to supply five white flags and five white flags.
In this regard, Zierharang did not hesitate, after all, even if he handed over ten Niu Lu, and then removed the about two Niu Lu lost in the Eastern Crusade, the Blue Banner still had the strength of forty-eight Niu Lu, and among the Jurchen Eight Banners, it was still a force that could not be underestimated.
And Yue Tuo, the eldest son of Daishan, who successfully won the red flag, did not think that the strength of the red flag was small, after all, even if the strength was great before, the flag owner was also Azig, and in the final analysis, it had nothing to do with him.
Now, after the failure of the Eastern Expedition to the Dongjiang River, even if there are only twenty-eight Niu Lu left, all of them are their own.
So far, after some behind-the-scenes transactions and brutal struggles, Huang Taiji has also successfully turned bad things into good things, completing the first integration of the mountaintop faction within the Eight Banners since he inherited the throne.
Azig's unexpected and tragic death not only weakened the strength of Dolgon's three brothers from the same mother, but also gave Huang Taiji a chance to push Yue Tuo to the throne, not only successfully incorporated the red flag into his sphere of influence, but also took the opportunity of this great defeat to cut off Amin's title of Baylor, and after taking his banner master, he removed one of the eight banners that dared to openly argue with him.
For Huang Taiji, in September of the second year of Tiancong, although the losses caused by the failure of Amin and Azig to conquer Dongjiang Town were huge, it was difficult to say whether it was a bad thing or a good thing after he laid it out like this.
