Chapter 182: Perfectionism
If Aixinguo attacks on a large scale, kill Duo Erhong with a knife when it is impossible to do anything, and then run far away, so that Aixinguo's soldiers and horses cannot be found. This is not only Duoduo's worry, but in fact, it is also the escape plan of the coalition forces on the west bank of the Yellow River, and the General Staff has drawn up a detailed retreat plan.www.biquge.info
If things really come to that point, Mo Rigen will lead the second battalion of horses to retreat into the depths of the Wolf Mountain River, and instruct the people of Shulinzi Township to move westward along Changsheng Township, Hesheng Township, and Wuyuan Township by land. The escape route was planned all the way to Tu Shenze, the big lake on the west side of the Wolf Mountain River. In order to escape smoothly, the old and weak people who settled in Shulinzi Township have begun to pack their luggage and prepare to move to Wuyuan Township first.
At the same time, in the escape plan of the General Staff, the 1st Battalion of the 51st Division and the 3rd Battalion of Li Guang, which is mainly the Returning Regiment, will complete the blocking mission at Qingshanzui, and then drift down the Yellow River with the Naval Division, all the way east through the south side of Qingshan into the chaotic northern Shaanxi and northern Shanxi regions.
The General Staff formulated this escape plan not just in case, but based on the conclusion of Jia Daoshi's research: Ai Xinguo is likely to attack on a large scale regardless of Duo Erhong's life or death.
Jia Daoshi's research method is very interesting, he seems to aimlessly collect a lot of bits and pieces of information about Aixinguo these days, and then infer the character of the coach of Aixinguo based on this information.
The General Staff found that if the commander of the Aixin Country was Nurhachi, he would be jealous nine times out of ten; If the coach of Aixinguo is Nurhachi's eighth son, Abahai, he will take advantage of this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
In the case of Nurhachi, Daoist Jia believed that Nurhachi was a perfectionist in his pursuit of perfection, and in later terms, he was a perfectionist.
Jia Daoshi's research began with the names of Nurhachi's sons.
The sixteen sons of Nurhachi, from the oldest to the youngest, were called Chuying, Daishan, Abai, Tanggu, Manggultai, Tabai, Abatai, Abahai, Babutai, Dege, Babuhai, Azig, Raimbu, Duoerhong, Duoduo, and Feiyangu.
Rearrange the names of these sons according to the order of their biological mothers and their eldest children, and remove the transliteration in the translation, and you will find that Nurhachi has a very strong obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Nurhachi's eldest and second eldest were born to the first Fujin, with a difference of three years. Named Chu Ying, Dai Shan. Jia Daoshi believes that it originates from the Chinese language, Chu Ying is the young eagle, the Manchu language is not divided into the great, and the good is the mountain. The eagle to the mountain, whether it is flat or artistic conception, can become a couplet.
Nurhachi's third and sixth children are siblings of the same mother, concubine, four years apart, their names are Abai and Tabai, the pronunciation is similar, catchy, and they are two brothers when they hear it.
Nurhachi's fourth and fifth, although not born to the same mother, are only two years apart, and they are named Tang Gu and Mang Gultai, which should actually be written as Tang Gu Tai and Mongolian Tai, which are actually Tibet and Mongolia. Tibetans are called Tanggu in Mongolian, and the famous Tanggula Mountain is actually the Mongolian "Tanggu-Ula": "Tibetan Mountain". Tang Gu Tai, with a suffix "Tai", means that there is something "there", Tang Gu Tai - a place where there are Tibetans. The Mongolian pronunciation is naturally Mongolian, Mongolian Tai - that is, where there are Mongolians. At this time, Nurhachi had already begun to name his children in Mongolian, and Tanggutai and Mongolian Tai could be regarded as Mongolian couplets.
Nurhachi's seventh son, Abatai, and eighth son, Abahai, were three years apart. One was born to the side Fujin, and the other was born to the Fujin, both of whom were only sons. Although Fujin, who gave birth to the eighth son Abahai, was posthumously crowned as the queen many years later, according to the custom that the difference between the main room and the side room was not obvious in the early days of Aixinguo, this Fujin did not have many children, and it can be guessed that she was not favored, that is, the status of a side Fujin.
Abba Tai, Abahai is derived from the Mongolian word Abba and should actually be written as "Abba", which means father. The suffix "too" means that there is something "there"; The suffix "sea" means "small, slightly".
Nurhachi's ninth son, Babutai, and eleventh son, Babuhai, were born to the same mother, with a difference of four years, and are still derived from the Mongolian language, and "Babu" means "ours, ours".
When Nurhachi gave birth to his first eleven sons, he was from twenty-one to thirty-three years old, which was the age of a wolf and a tiger, and at the age of thirty-three, he gave birth to three sons in one go.
The children's names are in pairs, and they are uniform! It can be seen that Nurhachi's character pursues perfection, and it is estimated that if someone gives Nurhachi a gift in pairs, they will be coaxed out!
In addition, it can be seen that Nurhachi longed for Han culture and named his children in Chinese from the beginning, and turned to Mongolia to name his children in Mongolia.
After giving birth to the tenth son, the eleventh son Babuhai came four years later, and then the twelfth son Azig, which was nine years later, so Azig was named "the younger son" in Manchu. Seven years later, there was a two-year-old sister-in-law, fourteen sons Duo Hong, fifteen sons Duo Duo, Duo Hong, Manchu "badger, little lively", Duo Duo, Manchu "fetus, little baby".
From the name of Azig in Manchu, it can be seen that Nurhachi has begun to find Manchu self-confidence.
At the same time, starting with the twelfth son, Azig, it is already possible to see the later sons of Nurhachi and the older sons in front of them as two generations.
As for Nurhachi's sixteenth son, Feiyangu, whose birth mother is unknown at the age of sixty-one, was mysteriously killed by Abahai when he was a child, it is estimated that Abahai had a good reason to kill him, so the brothers did not dwell on this matter.
In short, Nurhachi's habit of naming his children during his high fertility period is a complete reflection of his obsessive-compulsive personality of seeking perfection.
Another evidence that Nurhachi is a perfectionist is Nurhachi's Eight Banners system.
At the beginning, Nurhachi personally led the Red Banner Army, and his younger brother Shuerhaqi and eldest son Chu Ying led the Black Flag Army and the White Flag Army. From this 1248, we can also see Nurha's attitude of tireless desire for perfection.
Nurhachi first set up his eldest son Chu Ying as the crown prince, and then set up the second son Daishan as the crown prince, and after two failures, he introduced himself as the Great Khan alone, and the four major bailes were scored by month. In addition to his younger brother Shulhaqi's son Amin, the other three sons of their own are ranked second, fifth, and eighth respectively, and mahjong players will not be unfamiliar with this order.
In his later years, Nurhachi introduced the system of Eight Banners as his posthumous arrangement.
Nurhachi stipulated that the successor Khan should elect "those who can admonish" among the eight sons, and that the eight kings had the right to depose the Khan. During the court meeting, the successor Khan first bowed to his uncles and brothers, and then ascended to the Khan's throne, inviting the kings to sit side by side and worship the ministers of the officials.
All matters shall be discussed by the eight kings. The Eight Kings have the power to reward and punish, appoint and dismiss officials and generals at all levels, have the power of final adjudication of all kinds of major cases, have the right to adjudicate disputes between the Eight Banners, and have the right to replace the owners of each banner.
Nurhachi's idea of the Eight Banners is actually a harmonious family, the younger son respects the eldest son, the eldest son loves the younger son, helps each other, is complete and harmonious, and will be prosperous through the ages.
Therefore, if Nurhachi led the army, when he learned that Duo Erhong was taken as a hostage, he would definitely not rashly attack and destroy the perfect feeling in his heart.

China's earliest constitutional monarchy
Nurhachi's Eight Banners Parliamentary System, I prefer to be a "hypocritical republic".
First of all, the word republican has nothing to do with democracy.
The origin of the word republic is that Zhou Zhao republican and republican administration, which refers to a period of time when King Zhou Li fled from Haojing after the rebellion of the Western Zhou people, and was jointly ruled by the ministers Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong. A fourteen-year period from about 841 BC to 828 BC. Since the Zhou Zhao Republic, Chinese history has a definite chronology.
The republican administration is the republic of Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong, and it has nothing to do with the common people.
The Eight Banners Republic of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also had nothing to do with the common people, but was a republic between people and their own families.
Even so, I would like to say that this is a remarkable idea.
The Republic of the Eight Banners not only emphasized the division of interests and mutual compromise between the Eight Banners, but also restricted the rights of the monarch. For the first time in Chinese history, the monarch was pulled down from unlimited power.
It can be simply said that Nurhachi's idea is "a hypocritical republic".
From this point of view, Nurhachi is a well-deserved big thinker.
What is even more commendable is that Nurhachi's "hypocritical republic" not only stays in thought, but also puts it into practice.
The metaphor of Nurhachi's Khan recorded in the "Old Manchu Files" can be regarded as the "constitution" of the "hypocritical republic" system.
Woohoo, history has played a big joke on the people of the country, 400 years ago, we were so close to a "constitutional monarchy".
According to the "Manchu Old Files", in the seventh year of the Mandate of Heaven (1622), on the third day of the first month of March, the eighth son entered his father Khan and asked: "The foundation of heaven is given, why is it determined, and why is it forever inherited?" ”
Khan said:
"If the husband and stepfather are the king, do not make the strong the king. If the strong man is the king, I am afraid that he will be guilty of the heavens. Though one man has knowledge, can he do what all men do? Therefore, he ordered the eight sons to be the eight kings, and the eight kings agreed on it, and there must be no loss.
Among the eight kings, the one who can be admonished, that is, the heir, is the king. If he does not accept the advice, and what he does is not good, the eight kings will choose those who can be admonished and are good. And if you are not willing to follow the counsel, and refuse to do so, how can you allow him to be like this wicked man and let him do what he wants? In this way, it will be forcibly replaced!
The eight kings governed the state affairs, and one person had something to gain, and he directly stated what he saw, and the other seven people agreed with it. If you are incompetent, and do not approve of the abilities of others, and sit idly by, it is easy to choose your son as king. If it is easier to do so, if you are not willing to follow the counsel and refuse to do it, how can you allow this wicked man to do what he wants? In this way, it is also forced to be easy!
If he goes out for something, it is advisable to counsel the people, and do not go privately without consultation. When the eight kings face the king, do not gather one or two people, but everyone must gather together to discuss national affairs and discuss state affairs.
If there is a sacrifice or other things, they will be told to the public.
The eight kings consulted, and set up eight ministers of Zhushen, eight ministers of Han, and eight ministers of Mongolia. Under the eight ministers, there are eight judges of Zhushen, eight judges of the Han Dynasty, and eight judges of Mongolia. After the trial of the public trial, it is reported to the minister, and after the minister formulates it, it is played to the eight kings, and the eight kings judge and convict. The eight kings rebuked the traitors and acted loyally. Before the Eight Kings, there were eight people in Zhushen Bakshi, eight people in Hanbakshi, and eight people in Mongolian Bakshi.
On the 5th and 20th days of each month, the monarch will visit the palace twice. After worshipping the gods and lords on Chinese New Year's Eve, the monarch first bowed to the uncles and brothers, and then sat on the throne of the Khan, and the Khan and the uncles and brothers who were worshiped by the Khan sat in a row and were bowed by the countrymen.
Each of them should remember the instructions of the Khan's father, do not have the heart of riot, and do not conceal the slander of others, that is, do the words of remonstrance.
Make a book as an oath, and tie it to the neck. Even if you live in the country, you are not allowed to discuss who is good and who is evil, and if there are one or two beyles who discuss the good and evil of the Khan's father, do not confront him face to face, but retreat to the meeting, and after the discussion of the people, it is true that the good and evil are true, and there is no complaint. If one or two people hear it, they will complain!
The Eight Banners Beylerfan himself was convicted, and he who did not allow others to accuse him was an evil person!
One person is convicted and sued, and the other is convicted and not prosecuted.
At the time of the battle, the Eight Banners Zhubeile, regardless of the accident of the people under the Er's banner or his subordinates, were not allowed to be sued alone without being tried by the people. If they are sued separately, they will be in contention. After being tried by everyone and then sued, there is no complaint.
Baylor and the others wanted to let the eagles go around for amusement, but they did not have to go without consulting with the people.
Whoever sees a disobedient deed, let it not be spared, that is, he will be responsible.
If one condemns the word, then everyone is responsible.
If you are blamed alone, you will have a grudge in your heart. Zeer is a wicked man who spoils the livelihood of all!
Whoever has a grudge against one another, let him say it clearly, but if he hides his grudge and does not say anything, and he complains to the people, he is a man with evil intentions and deceiving him. In the future, you will be rebuked by all.
If he has more than the eight shares of income set by his father Khan, he will be exempted from the share of the income once, and if he conceals it twice, he will be exempted from the share of the income twice, and if he conceals it three times, he will be exempted from the share of the income he has obtained forever.
If he does not remember the words of his father Khan, and does not accept the advice of his brothers, and commits disobedience, he shall be punished for the first offense, and the second offender shall be punished for his repetition. If you take Zhu Shen and don't complain, you will have to live a life of self-cultivation, and if you are stubborn and unconvinced, you will not be killed, and you will be imprisoned.
If you still practice evil ways without saying this, then the heavens, earth, Buddhas and gods will be condemned, and your body will suffer disasters, and your life will not be completed, and you will be killed.
If you keep in mind the words of your father's teachings and do not disobey them, and have loyalty in your heart, then the heavens, earth, Buddhas and gods will be blessed even if they will prolong their lives! ”
