It is a pity that Nurhachi has passed away, and the current Khan of Aixin is his eighth son, Abahai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Rumors about Abahai are flying all over the sky, and there is inside information provided by Sun Dingliao, I don't know if it's true or not. Daoist Jia was very interested when he collected these messages, and the more private and exciting the more interested Daoist Jia became. But when analyzing these news, Daoist Jia removed all the rumored comments, speculations, and cause and effect, leaving only the factual part, and then only used common sense to deduce.

According to Jia Daoshi, this Abahai is imaginative and unrestrained.

Translated into Sun Yi's understanding, it is that Abahai is a typical pragmatist, and what to do if it is beneficial to him.

In his later years, Nurhachi ignored the government and ran everything very well according to the system of the rotation of the four beyles and the discussion of the eight kings.

Nurhachi once clearly told the Eight Kings that the successor of the new Khan does not need to choose the strong, and the strong ones are easy to act against the sky; Besides, no matter how strong one person is, can he be stronger than eight people? The successor of the new khan was to choose a man who could listen to the opinions of others, and if the new khan did not listen to the persuasion, the eight kings forcibly replaced him.

Nurhachi and his youngest son Duoduo held the same yellow flag, and left his last words early, and after his death, his part of the Niu Lu was inherited by his younger son Duoduo.

All kinds of arrangements, Nurhachi means that the young and weak baby Duoduo will inherit the throne of Khan, as a symbol of the Jin Kingdom rather than a real power figure.

Nurhachi believes that he has left behind a solid system. His sons would naturally grasp his intentions, and even if they didn't, the perfect system he devised would forcibly guide his sons to carry out their will. Therefore, Nurhachi did not need to designate the crown prince as other kings did, and he cordially received his sons and concubines before his death, and left with peace of mind.

Within a few hours of Nurhachi's walk, Abahai, the most capable of the four beylers, began to act against the sky.

The three brothers Azig, Duo'er Hong, and Duo Duo have the most Niu Lu, and if Duo Duo inherits the throne again, the eldest sons are worried that one day the three younger brothers will be unfavorable to them. Abahai united the eldest sons to force the biological mother of the three brothers to death, and the eldest sons "took care" of the lives of Duo Erhong and Duo Duo's two younger brothers, which was equivalent to taking away the possibility of Duo Erhong and Duo Duo inheriting the throne.

Among Nurhachi's eldest sons, the most likely to inherit the throne of Khan was none other than the four great beylers. Amin is a cousin, and he is far away from others in blood, so it is impossible to be promoted to Khan. The second son, the Great Bel Daishan, was deposed as the crown prince by Nurhachi, and belonged to those who made mistakes, and it was impossible for him to inherit the throne. Only the fifth son, Mang Gurtai, was left to compete with the eighth son, Abahai.

The eighth son, Abahai, sensibly united with the Great Belle Daishan, who nominated himself to inherit the throne. Abahai made a bet that he would do his best to build a harmonious family of love and love, and made five vows with his brothers. In this way, the strongest person who was clearly pointed out by Nurhachi during his lifetime who could not inherit the throne of the Khan succeeded smoothly against the sky.

After Abahai succeeded to the throne, he first seized the white flag and handed it to his son Haoge, and then compiled the two Mongolian flags on the left and right wings that did not belong to the Eight Banners, together with his own white flag, the number of troops that Abahai could control quickly reached four flags.

Abahai opened the imperial examination to select bureaucrats. Using these bureaucrats, Abahai directly bypassed the director of the Eight Banners to dismiss the officials of the Eight Banners.

Abahai generously promoted obedient younger brothers and nephews to join Baylor's ranks, and used these juniors to fight against the older generation, especially to repair his ally, the Great Baylor. It made Big Baylor be criticized and self-criticized for three days, and it became an ornament that only sought self-preservation.

Abahai succeeded in dividing the Eight Banners Rally and turning the Eight Flags Rally into a dog in front of his tent. He lets you bite whoever you want, let you bite a few bites.

Amin was bitten to death by a dog.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Aixinguo broke the Great Wall and entered the customs to directly attack Beijing, and captured the four cities of Yongping, Canzhou, Qian'an and Zunhua. The military genius Abahai had a whimsical idea to occupy these four cities in the pass for a long time, and gave Amin 5,000 soldiers to defend the city. In the second year, Sun Chengzong of the Ming Dynasty pulled the Hongyi cannon to counterattack, but Amin was defeated and abandoned after slaughtering the city.

Abahai held a meeting to settle the accounts for Amin, convicted Amin of 16 crimes, and imprisoned Amin to the end. Because Abahai swore that the flag owner could not confiscate the cattle if he made a mistake, but could only hand them over to the descendants of the flag owner, and Amin's cattle were transferred to the more obedient Gil Harang, the sixth son of Amin.

Even Jia Daoshi, a military layman, could see that Amin was finished the moment Abahai sent him to defend the city within the Great Wall. As a cousin, Amin is considered an outsider in the eyes of Nurhachi's sons, and can only silently accept this ending.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the soldiers of the new country surrounded the city of Dalinghe River, and Abahai's old skills were repeated. Abahai ordered the Zhenglan Banner Mang'er Gutai to guard the south of the Daling River, in other words, to place the Zhenglan Banner between the Daling River and the Ming Dynasty reinforcements.

After Aixinguo defeated the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, he continued to besiege the city, during which Mang'er Gutai reported heavy losses to the Blue Banner.

Abahai said "inadvertently and accidentally": "I heard that your blue flag always delays military orders. ”

Mang'er Gutai said angrily: "How can there be such a thing! ”

Abahai said: "If someone makes a false accusation, of course he will frame him; If it is true, you are not immune to the sin! ”

With that, Abahai got up and rode away.

Mang'er Gutai was anxious and asked, "Why do you want to embarrass me alone?" Do you want to kill me? “

Mang'er Gutai held a saber in his hand and frequently looked at Abahai.

It may be a big sin to look at people in the Northeast since ancient times. If you don't stop it, the next plot must be "What are you looking at?" "What's wrong with you? ”。

So Mang'er Gutai's brother Degray hurriedly scolded his brother and punched Mang Gurtey.

Mang Gurtai was even more angry, drew his sword out of its sheath, and swung it left and right.

As a result, Abahai organized a meeting with Manggultai. He convicted Mang Gurtai of the sin of great disrespect, took away the throne of Mang Gurtai Great Beyler, demoted him to Little Belle, took five Niu Lu, fined ten thousand taels of silver, and fined armor and horses.

Jia Daoshi commented that according to Nurhachi's Khan Yu and Abahai's oath when he succeeded to the throne, the Eight Kings have the power to abolish the disobedient Khan King.

It's just that at this time, Abahai is already full-fledged, and he has no scruples at all, and he can clean up whatever he wants.

As a result, only one of the original three Baylors was left, Daishan, as a puppet, and he was left to rub Abahai around.

At this time, Abahai incorporated the troops of Daling River into the Han army to further strengthen his military strength. Among the Eight Banners, the only ones who can threaten him are the three brothers Azig, Duo Erhong, and Duo Duo.

Duo'er Hong was captured, and Abahai will definitely not let go of this God-given opportunity.

Abahai packed up the brothers, and because of the oath and the last words of his father, he could not execute the brothers in any case, and at most he could only be imprisoned.

This time, if he can use the hands of the coalition forces to kill Duo Erhong, Abahai can't ask for it.

Death of the republic

If the Zhou Zhao Republic in BC was the first republic in Chinese history, then Nurhachi's Eight Banners Council 2,500 years later was the second republic in Chinese history.

The First Republic existed for fourteen years.

If the emperor is called the emperor as a symbol, the Second Republic has existed for about ten years.

Why are these republics so short-lived?

Nurhachi's Khan's stipulations on the republican system are not inconsiderate, and the five oaths of Huang Taiji when he succeeded to the throne should not be undignified. These are the constitutions of the Second Republic. Why can't you have a constitution?

Let's take a look at these five oaths of Huang Taiji recorded in the "Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty".

The First Brotherly Oath:

"The Emperor and the Queen of the Earth, both my father is the king, now my father Khan has collapsed, the country has no owner, all the brothers and nephews discuss the Emperor Taiji to inherit the father's inheritance, pray that the heaven and the earth will fall, the life of the Emperor Taiji will be extended, and the country will swear to prosper."

The second is the oath of Huang Taiji:

"Huang Taiji respectfully tells the emperor and the queen of heaven, now the brothers and nephews jointly promote me as the king, if I do not respect my brothers, do not love my children, do not follow the right path, and know that the unrighteous things are done, the brothers and nephews are slightly negligent, so they will take away the people given by their father Khan, or degrade or kill, heaven and earth will punish them, and take away their life. If you respect your brother, love your children, and walk the right way, heaven and earth, you will live longer. Or if you don't know what to do wrongly, you can also learn from it. ”

The third oath is the oath of the three major beylers to the khan, and the oath is:

"The three great beylers of Daishan, Amin, and Manggultai, as well as all the bezi, also swear: We and Abutai, Degelei, Ji'er Harang, Ajig, Dorihon, Duodu, Dudu, Yaotuo, Shaotuo, Chahaliang, and Hege, I hereby tell the Emperor Tianhou that our brothers and nephews will support Huang Taiji to inherit the inheritance of his father Khan, or those who harbor evil intentions and want to murder will be punished by heaven and earth, and they will quickly take away their lives, and they will die at the hands of Huang Taiji. If we are faithful to the king, or have a slight fault, that is, we will take away the people given by the first Khan, or abolish or kill, and heaven and earth will inspect them. ”

The fourth oath is the oath of the elder brother, the three great beylors to the Khan:

"Daishan, Amin, Manggul Taiyun: 'If the three of us do not train our children, they will be unbridled and harmed. We treat our children well, and our children despise their fathers and brothers, and those who do not do good deeds will be inspected by heaven and earth, and their lives will be taken quickly. If you can keep your oath and be loyal, heaven and earth will be protected, your children and grandchildren will be prosperous, and your life will be extended. ”

The fifth is the oath of the younger brothers and juniors:

"Abtai, Deglei, and Gilharang, and Ajig, Dorihon, Dodod, Dudu, Yaoto, Shaoto, Chahawei, and Gol also swear, saying, 'If we turn our backs on our fathers and brothers, and fall in love with us, and act among Khan and Beyl, heaven and earth will see sin, and we will take away their records. If you are dedicated to the country, do not harbor evil songs, and are faithful, you will learn from heaven and earth, and your life will be extended. ”

At this point, it can be seen that it is "heaven and earth" that supervises the smooth implementation of this republican system, that is, there is no supervision.

However, even without the supervision and participation of "Heaven and Earth", could it be that the military strength of the Eight Banner Kings themselves could not guarantee this republican system?

It should be said that Huang Taiji is too capable, too strong, and with the power of one person, he has eliminated all his opponents.

In fact, on the first day of Huang Taiji's oath, there were brothers who were dissatisfied. In the fourth brother's oath, Huang Taiji not only removed Nurhachi's third, fourth, and sixth brothers, but also removed his seventh son, Abatai, who was three years older than him. In the fifth oath of the younger brothers and juniors, Abatai was the first.

Abatai immediately quit after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne:

"Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty" contains:

"First of all, he ascended the throne in September of the year of Bingyin, and after the feast, he returned home. Abu Taibel said: 'Yanguri and Tarahan Efu, you will play for me, and I will not go out in the future.' If I go out to fight, I will wear armor, and if I go hunting, I will wear a bow and arrows. During the pre-feast, I was ashamed to sit with my brothers and nephews. When the first Khan was in Japan, when Brother Engdeli came to him, he made me meet with the four great beylers, and when the Tusha rabbit came to him, he also met with the four great beylers. Then they heard about it. He said, 'Why didn't you persuade him with your words, and come to sue me?' Then he ordered back. ”

"Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty" also contains:

On the eighth day of December in the first year of Tiancong, Mongolia Angkong Duling came, Huang Taiji set up a banquet to entertain him, and Abatai made the whole thing, he ordered the deputy general Namutai to play and said: "I will not go to this banquet, I have no leather jacket, and the leather jacket given by the Khan will be demolished and my two sons." If I go to the banquet, I will be listed in the little Baylor line, and I would rather not be ashamed to see foreigners. The Mongol Ming'an Belle and Bagbel sit on top of me, how can I go to the feast? ”

There are always things like Abatai's passive opposition to Huang Taiji, and things like Mang'er Gutai who actively oppose Huang Taiji like Mang'er Gutai in the future, but Huang Taiji can finally be resolved, which can only show one point: the oligarchic republic of only seven or eight people is simply unreliable.

As soon as the strongman comes out, the other oligarchs will be wiped out immediately.

Nurhachi said: "If the husband stepfathers 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! ”

Nurhachi saw this clearly and thought clearly.

But this strongman behaved decently, benevolently, and filial piety in front of Nurhachi, a stronger strongman.

There is a poem that sighs:

"Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.

Xiang Envoy died that year, and who knows the truth of his life. ”

The reason why a strongman is a strongman is that he can behave very strongly, or he may not behave strongly, so that you can't find it or escape it.

Therefore, simple logic can be deduced, and strong people can't avoid it.

The greatest enemy of a republic is a meritocracy that produces strongmen. It is a historical joke to practice a republic only within a small range of elites, and to rely on a small group of elites to maintain a republic.

If the republican system wants to be stable, it must really expand the number of people who participate, rely on the number of people to divide power, and rely on the number of people to restrain individual strongmen who can defy the sky.

If Nurhachi had expanded his planned system of Eight Banners to include the participation of the Eight Hundred Eight Banners elites, the Dajin Congress would have been as stable as the British aristocratic parliament for hundreds of years.

If Nurhachi had expanded his planned system of Eight Banners to 80,000 Eight Banners soldiers, the Dajin Congress would have dominated the region for hundreds of years, just like the Roman Free Folk Council.

If Nurhachi had extended his planned system of Eight Banners to all slaves, illiterates, and fools outside the Guan, then Dajin would be able to dictate to the whole world like a policeman, and he could clean up whoever he wanted, and he could clean up as much as he wanted.
