Su Tiancheng was busy in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, and Huang Taiji was not idle. Over the years, the status of the Han army that defected to the Qing Dynasty has always been a little low, which is also because the combat effectiveness of the Han army is average, and the generals of the Han army are also generally discriminated against, especially in the eyes of the Manchu nobles, these generals of the Han army, do not want to serve their masters, but choose to surrender, the quality must be bad, such a person, is not worth reusing.

Deep down, Huang Taiji also has such an opinion, he came to surrender the Han army, the welcome ceremony is very grand, the specifications are also very high, even in the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the edict Kong Youde is the king of Gongshun, Geng Zhongming is the king of Huaishun, Shang Kexi is the king of Zhishun, this move, shocked the Manchu nobles, in many public occasions, Huang Taiji repeatedly emphasized that we must pay attention to the Han army, including the officers of the Han army.

The reason why Huang Taiji did this was to realize the importance of the Han people, the Han Minister of Humanities and Martial Arts, who was more familiar with the unspoken rules of officialdom than the Manchu officials, and could put forward very good suggestions in governing the country.

However, Huang Taiji's painstaking efforts, there are also setbacks, many Han army officers who have surrendered, some defected again, left Houjin, and even willing to give up the army and return to the Ming Dynasty to live the life of ordinary people, the reason for this is because the policy has not been really implemented, Huang Taiji has made it clear that many policies preferential treatment of the Han army are implemented, but unfortunately these policies need to be implemented by Manchurian officials, in this case, it is impossible for the policy to be fully implemented in place, the surrendered Han and military officers, including the ministers of the court, encountered discrimination and humiliation from the Manchus, and slowly became disappointed in the Qing Dynasty. I would rather give up everything and leave the Great Qing Kingdom.

Huang Taiji's understanding is different after all, in his heart, he will not trust Han Jun 100%, but the gesture he makes is complete trust. He knew very well that he had to do this, there were not many Manchurians, and if he wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty, he had to unite the Han people, and the more Han people gathered around him, the greater the blow to the Ming Dynasty.

In order to reassure the surrendered Han army, Huang Taiji even formulated a policy of whether the Han official Han army surrendered or not. The Great Qing State must not be reluctant, and those who are willing to surrender are welcomed by the Great Qing State and given heavy responsibilities, and those who are unwilling to surrender can leave on their own, even if they leave after surrendering, they will not pursue it. Even coming to the Great Qing Kingdom again is welcome.

This is a measure. Huang Taiji implemented it with high-pressure means.

Moreover, in order to improve the status of the Han army, Huang Taiji even punished Dolgon and Duoduo and others who discriminated against the Han army, because of such means, the attitude of the Qing State towards the Han army has changed greatly.

This is where Huang Taiji is wise and great. Regardless of whether he wishes or not, and no matter what he thinks, as long as it is beneficial to the Great Qing Kingdom, he must do it, because he is the emperor. He had to think about the future of the Great Qing Kingdom. If he was only for the Manchu magnates, then there could be no future for the Great Qing Kingdom.

The Guanningjin defense line is stable, the situation on the Mongolian side is not very good, Lushun's sailors, in the process of construction, the situation in front of them shows that the Qing Kingdom has no chance to attack the Ming Dynasty for the time being, at such a time, Huang Taiji will not be idle, the Qing Kingdom must develop, can not stagnate.

At this time, Huang Taiji thought of establishing the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

The Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners have been established, and the courage of the Eight Banners, everyone knows the way, the Eight Banners system, was created by the father Emperor Nurhachi, and it has been proved that this is a very effective military system, which greatly integrates the army of the Qing Dynasty and enhances the combat effectiveness. It can even be said that the Eight Banners system is the foundation for the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty and the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

The Eight Banners system is not only a military system, but also a form of social organization that integrates the military and the people, and the military and the government.

The Han army was subordinate to the Manchu Eight Banners, and this system, to some extent, was also a kind of contempt for the Han army.

The Han army led by Kong Youde, the total number is the largest, at the peak, it reached 50,000 people, but unfortunately in the battle of Dalinghe City, most of the losses were lost, and the remaining Han army stayed in Shenyang, Huang Taiji incorporated it into the banner of the Yellow Banner, the Han army led by Geng Zhongming, the total number of people was close to 30,000, and the Han army led by Shang Kexi, the total number of more than 26,000 people, this has not been calculated into the Han army in the water division, that is to say, the Han army that served the Qing Dynasty, the total number reached 70,000, such a huge team, the establishment of the Han Eight Banners, It's completely doable.

How to set up the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Huang Taiji has long considered it, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi were crowned kings, it is impossible to serve as the Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to be the Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, all of them are crowned kings, if Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi serve as the Gushan Ezhen, the remaining Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty cannot be on an equal footing with the two, and there will definitely be trouble.

How to effectively establish the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty is related to the fate of the Great Qing Kingdom, and Huang Taiji will never underestimate it.

How to balance the relationship between this, Huang Taiji relied on Fan Wencheng's advice, Fan Wencheng has almost become Huang Taiji's most trusted minister, and even surpasses Dai Shan and Dolgon and others in terms of advice.

Huang Taiji's consideration is also reasonable, no matter how much he trusts Fan Wencheng, he will not pose a threat to his own status, nor will he pose a threat to his descendants, Fan Wencheng is loyal and dedicated to working hard for the prosperity and strength of the Qing Dynasty, regardless of whether Fan Wencheng is selfish or not, he is impeccable in serving himself.

Some of the suggestions put forward by Fan Wencheng have really good results, especially after Huang Taiji transferred Dai Shan and Dolgon out of Shenyang, the situation quickly stabilized, and many Manchu magnates quickly became honest, and now they have entered a period of temporary peace, and Huang Taiji has relied more on Fan Wencheng.

On the top of the main hall, after everyone dispersed, Huang Taiji left Fan Wencheng.

"Wen Cheng, these days, I have been thinking about the establishment of the Han Eight Banners, I don't know how you think about it."

Fan Wencheng knew about this matter, and Huang Taiji had already asked him to think about it.

Fan Wencheng also has a process of struggle in his heart, he very much hopes that the Han army can become strong and have a place in the Qing Dynasty, but this kind of strength must be limited to a certain range, if it is too strong, it will definitely damage the interests of the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible for the Manchu magnates to make the Han army strong, let alone let the Han people's power prevail, if this happens, it will be the destruction of the Han army, even Huang Taiji can not maintain.

Of course, this situation, in a short period of time, is impossible, according to the strength of the Han army, far from the opponent of the Eight Banners, or even the opponent of the Eight Banners, but whether it is the Eight Banners or the Eight Banners, there is a fatal shortcoming, that is, the lack of personnel, the Manchus and the Mongols, compared with the Han people, are insignificant, and over time, the Han army has the upper hand, it is only a matter of time.

In other words, Fan Wencheng will not consider it at all, just agree directly, how to develop in the future, that is a matter of the future, and there is no need to think about it now.

But Fan Wencheng can't do this, he is facing a generation of Ming Jun, the emperor Taiji is both civil and military, and he is wise, I am afraid that he has already considered the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

After Dai Shan and Dolgon left Shenyang, Fan Wencheng's status was much stronger, some Manchu magnates saw him, and they also greeted him with a smile, and when they went to the court, everyone was even more polite when they met, and the reason behind this was very clear, because Huang Taiji trusted him more and more, even to the point of obeying his words, some Manchu magnates went on a twist and turn, and made suggestions, Huang Taiji would ask directly, whether he had asked Wen Cheng, if he Fan Wencheng expressed his attitude, Huang Taiji would agree.

This kind of unrepeatable trust is a huge pressure, which makes Fan Wencheng more cautious, dedicated to the development of the Great Qing Kingdom, and dedicated to the Huang Taiji, that is, to enhance the status of the Han people in the Great Qing Kingdom, but also to enhance the strength of the Huang Taiji, and enhance the ruling power of the Huang Taiji among the Han people.

In the matter of establishing the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, Fan Wencheng thought mainly of how Huang Taiji could control the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that it is completely necessary to establish the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, so that the Han people can directly enter the court to do things and work directly for the emperor, and the slaves think that from the long-term perspective of my Qing Dynasty, the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty is better to imitate the Ming Dynasty."

"Oh, why does Wen Cheng have such an understanding, let's talk about it."

"The slave thinks that after the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the officers in the Eight Banners Army, such as Niu Lu Ezhen, Jia Lae Zhen, and Gushan Ezhen, are not able to directly enter the imperial court, and the officers and civilian officials need to be treated differently, the focus of the officers is on the construction of the army, and the focus of the civilian officials is to make suggestions in the imperial court and govern the people's livelihood.

Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction, he also thought about it this way, it is impossible for the officers of the Eight Banners not to enter the imperial court, the Great Qing Kingdom is dominated by the Manchus controlling the country, the Great Qing Kingdom is first of all the Great Qing Kingdom of the Manchus, followed by the Great Qing Kingdom of Mongolia and the Great Qing Kingdom of the Han people, not to mention that the number of Manchus is not large, and the brave men are all in the Eight Banners Army.

Although the officers of the Eight Banners are also from noble backgrounds, the places where the Eight Banners are located are different, on the vast grassland, the environment is harsh, the population is also small, and there are often conflicts between tribes, making it difficult to become strong in a short period of time.

But Han Baqi is different, as long as the opportunity is right, they will develop at the fastest speed, and even form a threat. (To be continued......)
