Chapter 380: A Big Game of Chess
After ascending the throne, Huang Taiji became more confident and believed that he could lead the Qing Dynasty to the Central Plains, and finally overthrow the Ming court, establish the Manchu court, and make the Ming Dynasty a Manchu world.
Temporary setbacks and failures cannot shake Huang Taiji's heart, but those Manchu nobles are not necessarily, let's just say that Huang Taiji sent Du Du, Yang Guli and Tan Tai to the capital of Daming to negotiate peace, many Manchu nobles just can't figure it out.
The leader needs to make decisions independently, if you solicit the opinions of the following, then don't think about doing anything, the reason why the leader becomes a leader, is because the angle of occupation is different, standing tall to be able to see far, for example, Huang Taiji is standing at the height of the overall situation, for the sake of the future of the Qing Dynasty, and the vast majority of the Manchurian nobles, only see their own glory and wealth, once their own interests suffer a little loss, they can't help but jump.
Huang Taiji angrily reprimanded Duoduo and killed Duoduo's butler, to a certain extent, shocked many Manchu nobles, so that the situation in Shenyang quickly stabilized, but Du Du and others were sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to negotiate peace, so that the situation that had just been calmed down became a little turbulent again, and there were all kinds of discussions among the Manchu nobles, all of whom thought that Huang Taiji should not do this.
Of course, Huang Taiji will insist on his own opinions, and at the same time, he also has to appease the most important Manchu nobles, especially the banner owners of the Eight Banners, the county king, and Beile Beizi, etc., of course, relying on him to say it alone, or asking Fan Wencheng to come forward to explain, it will not work, and these Eight Banner owners must explain in person, and the turbulent situation can be stabilized quickly.
There is a very peculiar situation in the Great Qing Kingdom, that is, the soldiers under the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners absolutely obey the orders of the banner owner. But not necessarily obey the emperor's orders, this is a long-term situation, Huang Taiji also made up his mind to change, after a lot of efforts, but the current status quo is far from reaching the level of optimism.
The owner of the blue flag, Prince Su Haoge, the owner of the red flag, the prince of Li. Dolgon, the owner of the white flag and the prince of Rui, Dolgon, the owner of the white flag and the prince of Yu, the owner of the blue flag, the prince of Zheng, and Yue Tuo, the lord of the red flag who was demoted from the prince to Baylor and later promoted to the king of Chengjun, all came to the main hall.
The eight flags are divided into three flags and five flags, the upper three flags are the yellow flag, the yellow flag and the blue flag, and the rest are the lower five flags, and the status of the upper three flags is higher than the lower five flags, the guards in the palace. All of them are from the upper three banners, and the other five lower banners are not qualified to enter the palace as guards.
Huang Taiji is in charge of the yellow flag and the inlaid yellow flag, his son Haoge is in charge of the blue flag, and the three flags are directly controlled by the royal family, it should be said that the power is very great, plus Zierharang and Dai Shan and others, are obedient to the Huang Taiji. This indicates that five of the eight banners are loyal to Huang Taiji, and this is precisely the reason. Let Huang Taiji's position be extremely stable.
Huang Taiji has always been a little worried about Dolgon and Duoduo, there are deep-seated reasons for this, the combat effectiveness of the white flag and the inlaid white flag is indeed good, and at present, such worries are slightly smaller, the battle of Yongning, the brave inlaid white flag suffered a fiasco. The vitality was greatly damaged, which greatly weakened Duoduo's strength, and he had to be restrained a little, otherwise Huang Taiji angrily reprimanded Duoduo, maybe Duoduo would resist.
Last year's battle. The heaviest loss is the red flag, for which the red flag masonry Yue Tuo complained a lot, and even had an extreme psychology, and was punished by Huang Taiji, and almost lost the position of the owner of the red flag.
Of course, Huang Taiji did not want such a situation to happen, he would rather not suffer any damage to the Eight Banners.
The power struggle within the Great Qing Kingdom is extremely complex, and Huang Taiji is well aware of the mystery, and it is indeed not easy for him to unite and use all his forces to gradually control the entire Great Qing Kingdom.
When everyone entered the Great Palace, Huang Taiji's face was extremely serious.
When Fan Wencheng entered the Great Palace, Duoduo was a little unnatural, of course, Fan Wencheng still honestly saluted Huang Taiji and the princes and county kings, this is the rule, but it can't be messed up.
Everyone arrived, and Huang Taiji opened his mouth with a stern face.
"I sent Du Du to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to negotiate peace, I can't imagine that there are a lot of discussions among the Manchurians, all of them are saying that I am useless, these words, I will not care, but if there is such a discussion among you, or there is such an understanding, I will really be sad, if you can't understand my painstaking efforts, what hope is there for the future of the Great Qing Kingdom."
Huang Taiji's first few words, so that Dai Shan and the others lowered their heads, of course they have some opinions, the strength of the Qing Dynasty has not suffered much blow, there is no need to negotiate peace with the Ming court, after this peace, sign a piece of paper, is not to restrain their own development, you must know that the Qing Dynasty is in the north, the land is barren, so many years of play, most of them rely on the Ming Pass to plunder, or conquer the Mongolian tribes, to obtain huge wealth.
Once the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty negotiated peace, the children of the Eight Banners could not enter the customs casually, where did this wealth come from, and the interests of all the Manchu nobles would not be violated.
Including Dai Shan and Dolgon and others, they will not consider the overall situation of the Great Qing Kingdom, they don't need to think about these issues, what they care about is how to develop and grow the Zhenghong Banner and Zhengbai Banner under their command, as for the affairs of the Great Qing Kingdom, it should be considered by Huang Taiji.
"I sent Du Du and others to negotiate peace with Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, on the surface it is that my Qing Kingdom is weak, but in fact, I often ask the Manchurians to read more books and learn more, there is a saying in "Lao Tzu", the good is like water, and the water is good for all things without fighting, I understand the meaning of this sentence, that is, things are too rigid and easy to break, and good and soft can be undefeated."
"I hope you understand the meaning well, my Eight Banners have always been famous for their bravery, which has a lot to do with you, you are all warriors on the battlefield, fighting bravely, never flinching, but just with such courage, you can defeat the Ming Dynasty and enter the Central Plains, I see that you have never thought about something."
"A lot of things need to be overcome with softness, so that we can really achieve the goal."
"Some people explain that the army's combat effectiveness is weak, and the children of the Eight Banners can fight into the pass in one go, or even smash the Yellow Dragon, take the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and then plot against a large area in the south of the Ming Dynasty, I hope that this understanding will not come from your hearts, the power of the Great Qing Kingdom is indeed strong, but what is the actual situation, you should be clear, to be honest, my Great Qing Kingdom does not have enough strength to destroy the Ming Dynasty."
"What does the battle depend on, on the one hand, the strength of the army, the courage of the soldiers, and on the other hand, there is enough money and food, both of which are indispensable.
When Huang Taiji said this, a fierce light shot through his eyes.
"The strength of the Zheng family army in the Ming army has been shown from several battles, I also want to completely exterminate the Zheng family army and get rid of this big trouble, but if you send the children of the Eight Banners to completely exterminate the Zheng family army, if any of you have such courage, I promise you to lead the soldiers under my command to fight, but I think I will send more than 100,000 children of the Eight Banners to exterminate the Zheng family army, definitely not, I don't want to destroy the foundation of my Great Qing Kingdom because of the full extermination of the Zheng family army."
"Since we can't send a large army to encircle and suppress, and we can't watch the Zheng family's army become stronger, what is the best way, which is to show weakness on the surface, that is, to make Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty completely reassured, thinking that the Great Qing State no longer poses a threat, and that the situation in the north has been completely stabilized."
"The Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is very small, and he lacks ability, how can he tolerate the strong Zheng Jiajun being commanded by others, in this case, what will happen, I don't want to say more." ……
Many princes and county kings have left the Great Political Palace, but Fan Wencheng remained.
Huang Taiji's big game of chess, which has the credit of Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng is a Han person, understand the temper and temperament of the Han people, and provoke the infighting of the Han people is Fan Wencheng's suggestion.
"Wen Cheng, how long do you think the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty will take, I don't have that much time."
"Your Majesty, the minions expect that it will take about a year at most, once the border passes are stabilized, even if the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can bear it, those ministers of the Ming court will not tolerate Zheng Xunrui's control of the Zheng family's army, Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, Zheng Xunrui is young, he has such a great merit, it will definitely arouse the jealousy of others, the minions have sent people into the Daming capital, they will spread rumors in the Daming capital at the right time, if the rumors of Zheng Xunrui are going to rebel in the Daming capital, The minions thought that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty would definitely not be able to sit still. ”
Huang Taiji nodded.
"Wen Cheng, these views of yours are indeed good, many Han people I have come into contact with like infighting, let's just say that these Han soldiers have such problems, a year is not a very long time, and those Koreans who were captured were completely stabilized, and it was almost a year or so."
"Your Majesty, there is one thing that a slave has, and I don't know if I should do it."
"Tell me something."
"The slave wanted to ask Prince Yu for his guilt, and Prince Yu's housekeeper was killed, all of which were the slave's fault."
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and shook his head slightly.
"Wen Cheng, you think too much, you don't need to do such a thing, as long as you are loyal, the Great Qing Kingdom will not wronged you......"
Before Huang Taiji's words were finished, sweat drops appeared on Fan Wencheng's forehead, and his careful thinking was seen through by Huang Taiji. (To be continued......)
