Chapter 673: Huang Taiji's reminder
Many important civil and military ministers are concentrated in the main hall, including the prince, the prince of the county, Baylor, Beizi, Manchurian nobles, etc., relatively speaking, the strength of the Han people is very thin, except for Fan Wencheng standing in the front position, the rest of the Han people are behind the ceremony, and the small number of people, if you don't pay attention to it, you really can't see it.
After ascending the throne, Huang Taiji also imitated the methods of the Ming Dynasty and carried out the imperial examination, but unfortunately, it has not been able to establish a perfect system, and the Qing Dynasty has always been based on conquest and fighting, for the construction, in addition to Huang Taiji himself, the rest of the Manchu nobles who hold great power are not very interested, which also makes Huang Taiji's plan to attract talents, and has encountered a lot of setbacks, but Huang Taiji still insists on his own approach, fortunately, he has enough prestige, under heavy pressure, Many ministers of civil and military affairs still have to do the same.
Not able to enter the Central Plains, has always been regarded as a barbarian, which makes Huang Taiji very uncomfortable, to participate in the imperial examination of the Han people, there are very few, many Han people think that the Qing Dynasty is ashamed to do things, this concept, in a short period of time, is difficult to change, for the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji sometimes, is also to endure humiliation, on the one hand, to do the work of the Manchu magnates, on the other hand, to appease the Han people, without eloquence and super self-confidence, really can't do this.
After the Ming army captured Dalinghe City, the situation in the Great Qing Kingdom became a little delicate, and some opposing voices began to appear, and some Manchu magnates were ready to move, and even questioned Huang Taiji's decision-making, which could not be tolerated.
Huang Taiji knew very well that when contradictions began to appear, they had to find a way to eliminate them, and they could not be allowed to spread, or so to speak. This contradiction has not been completely eliminated, and now it has only found a breakthrough and began to sprout again, this dangerous situation is far greater than that of Dalinghe City being attacked.
Among Huang Taiji's brothers, Dolgon spotted such a sign. Therefore, he decisively put forward a suggestion, do not reinforce Dalinghe City for the time being, if this reinforcement encounters a failure, the next situation will be even more dangerous.
The fortresses were breached from within.
Therefore, nearly a month has passed, and Huang Taiji has been thinking hard about it, and he must curb such a momentum, but it is useless. We must find a breakthrough, otherwise this momentum will really rise, and the losses will be great.
Huang Taiji glanced coldly at Prince Li Daishan.
Dai Shan is his second brother, when the four major Baylors sat facing south and managed the government together, Dai Shan was one of them, so many years have passed, Dai Shan basically has no desire for power. But this time, the defeat of Dalinghe City seems to be changing this situation. Dai Shan's eldest son Yue Tuo was captured alive and was split by the Ming Dynasty, which gave Dai Shan a big blow, and the defeat was irreparable, and the Ming army took Dalinghe City in one day, and it was too late to rescue. Ke Daishan strongly supported the Eight Banners Army to attack Dalinghe City, looking for an opportunity to start a decisive battle with the Ming army.
This is definitely not true, the Great Qing Kingdom does not have such a strong strength, even if it is to carry out a large-scale campaign, it will be after the autumn harvest. A large amount of grain and grass was gathered, and the army was able to pull out, and this time the defeat of Dalinghe City, the Qing Kingdom lost a lot of grain and grass, and the twenty red-clothed cannons made Huang Taiji feel distressed for a long time.
But Dai Shan doesn't seem to see this, blindly insisting, Huang Taiji can understand it in the early days, after all, Dai Shan's eldest son Yue Tuo ended so tragically, as a father, there is still a trace of resentment, but after a little longer, Huang Taiji found that something was wrong, and some Manchu nobles began to go to Dai Shan's mansion, and even individual Baylor and Beizi also participated.
Of course, Huang Taiji needs to be vigilant, when Yue Tuo was reduced from the prince to Beizi, it was too ambitious, and Dai Shan was able to keep the glory among the other three Baylors, and was named Prince Li, and he was also aware of current affairs, and now the situation has begun to change, and the Qing Dynasty has not been able to loot huge amounts of wealth for several years, and these Manchu nobles began to be dissatisfied.
Dai Shan is in charge of this red flag, Yue Tuo is in charge of this red flag, this is not to be underestimated, in the Qing Dynasty, can master one flag or even more than two flags of the army, that is a very great position, according to the regulations, the fixed number of troops per flag is 7,500 people, the eight banners are a total of 60,000 soldiers, but these years, because of the needs of the development of the situation, the strength of each flag is a large-scale expansion, the entire Qing Dynasty, the strength of the army is always more than 300,000 people, which of course includes the Han army. Among them, the total number of troops with red flags and red flags is close to 50,000.
People's hearts are unpredictable, Huang Taiji has always believed this, when his father Hannurhachi, also because of the problem of power struggle, got rid of his younger brother Shuerhaqi, hanged his eldest son Chu Ying, and after he ascended the throne, he eliminated Amin, Mang Gurtai and others, also to consolidate power.
To put it mildly, born in the royal family, family affection is very weak, far less than power, in the face of power, family affection is vulnerable, between brothers and sisters, between father and son, they can turn against each other, once they do it, they are even more cruel than outsiders.
After being in charge of the Great Qing Kingdom for so many years, Huang Taiji has long had an iron heart, and everything he does is for the prosperity and strength of the Great Qing Kingdom, but also to consolidate his own power.
Today, many princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi and others were gathered, and Huang Taiji was thinking that he wanted to warn some people, if he insisted on going his own way, he would not be polite.
"I summoned you today, there is something I want to say, or I need to remind you, since the first year of Chongde, the soldiers of my Great Qing Kingdom, failed to fight a happy war, failed to plunder wealth and population from the Ming Dynasty, Azig led the army into the customs, suffered a defeat, and lost more than 30,000 people to my Eight Banners, this time, my Great Qing Kingdom lost Dalinghe City, lost 1,000 Zhenghongqi disciples, close to 30,000 Han troops, four years, these situations have occurred, some people's hearts are still uncomfortable, Thinking that my Great Qing Kingdom can't bear such a loss, I must take revenge. ”
"It's normal to have such thoughts, and I also think about these things all the time, hoping to find a suitable opportunity to revive the prestige of my Eight Banners Army, and you can have such thoughts to maintain a strong fighting spirit."
"However, what I want to say today is a different meaning."
Huang Taiji stood up, and Ling Lie's gaze swept over everyone.
"There is a story of lying down and tasting courage in ancient times, you all know the Tao, I have experienced more hardships in the past 20 years, you are also clear, everything is to focus on the overall situation, from the overall situation, I want to ask you, whether my Great Qing Kingdom can start the most decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, whether it can capture the Guanning Jin defense line, whether it can sweep the Central Plains, which of you has such courage and ability, I have made a note with you, I can share this with you, is there anyone, If so, stand up and speak, and I will forgive you for your innocence. ”
Inside the main hall, it was very quiet, and no one spoke.
"Fighting tigers and brothers, going into battle father and son soldiers, brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are cut off, these words, I often hang on my lips, I have to say these words all the time, just to warn some people, the overall interests of my Great Qing Kingdom are supreme, who wants to harm the interests of my Great Qing Kingdom, no matter what your identity is, you are a sinner of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the crime cannot be punished."
"Since I ascended the throne, I have been reminding myself all the time that this country laid down by my father and Han must be firmly guarded, to continue to develop, to continue to grow, to point to the Central Plains, to win the world, over the years, I have worked hard for this, with this belief, I and you, have achieved countless victories, I cheer with you, celebrate together, and rejoice for the strength of my Qing Kingdom, but some people don't think so, in their eyes, what they see is power, what they see is interests, for power and interests, Nothing to do. ”
"I want to remind you that the Ming Dynasty was once so powerful, and it was definitely not something that my Great Qing Kingdom could match, and over the years, why did they repeatedly lose in the hands of my Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty, because there were too many silverfish in their court."
"Now the situation has changed, Su Tiancheng has appeared in Daming, Jiangning Ying has appeared, I am very worried, the food is tasteless, I can't sleep at night, the two failures that my Great Qing Kingdom suffered were in the process of fighting with this Su Tiancheng, what does this mean, it shows that Daming is slowly starting to become stronger, which must attract our attention."
"I don't understand, in such a situation, some people are still so impulsive, or care about personal interests, two failures, ignited the anger of many people, some people sprinkled this anger on the Han people, beating and killing at will, it seems that this reflects their own might, I feel blush for you, is this a warrior, is it Baturu, this is a coward."
"I emphasize once again that from today onwards, if someone bullies the Han people at will and kills the Han people, you must understand that the integration of the Manchu and Han is what my Great Qing Kingdom will ultimately do, and only then can my Great Qing Kingdom continue to grow stronger."
"In the face of today's situation, I have made a decision, two-pronged, my Qing country must vigorously develop agricultural production, food must be sufficient, national strength must be strong, and once again, on the basis of attack, the border pass of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to live in peace."
"The Mongolian steppe is the territory of my Great Qing Kingdom, and it is the dependence of my Great Qing Kingdom, but it has been very unpeaceful there recently, I have decided to conquer the Mongolian Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, destroy the Ming Dynasty's mutual market in Anningbao and Jingbian, and let the Mongolian tribes completely belong to my Great Qing Kingdom."
