"If you don't kneel, where will you put me in Daqing? You are not afraid of a thousand cuts, and North Korea is not afraid of the Qing Dynasty soldiers coming to conquer? Dorgon shouted at the North Korean envoy.

Although the Korean envoy was trembling with fear, he still stood and did not kneel. You must know that before coming to Hehe, the king and regent of Joseon told the envoy not to kneel down to the Qing Dynasty, because Korea still has to maintain the status of a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

If this envoy loses his honor, he will be exterminated. And now the worst result is that he was killed by the barbarians like Houjin, so the lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils, so that the envoy can still stand with his body supported.

Seeing that the Korean envoy was still standing, the civil and military officials of Houjin all looked at Huang Taiji and waited for his instructions. But although Huang Taiji's face was pale, Zuihou still waved his hand and said, "Drive him down!" ”

In the eighth year of Chongzhen (the ninth year of Tiancong), Huang Taiji sent Dolgon, Yue Zhi and others to collect the son of Lin Dan Khan, Erke Kongguoer Ezhe and his subordinates. Dolgon unexpectedly obtained the heirloom seal of the Yuan Dynasty. After that, the ministers of Zhubeile asked for the title of Emperor Taiji on the grounds that the distant people were subjugated and the country was rising, but they were not granted.

In fact, if you are familiar with history, you must know this set, which is nothing more than asking those Baylor ministers to repeat it several times, showing that Huang Taiji is reluctant to accept the honorific title. Anyway, the ancient emperors liked to play this set.

Sure enough, Sakhalian later asked Zhubel to review the past and express his loyalty in the future. So, Huang Taiji promised that he could consider it. Then Huang Taiji consulted the opinions of Han officials and Confucian ministers with the "Zaozheng Zun", and Bao Chengxian, Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng, Luo Xiujin, etc. all agreed.

Sakhalian also summoned all the beylers to take an oath of allegiance to the emperor. Hearing the news, the "outer domain" Zhubeile also asked for the title of honor, and Huang Taiji finally agreed. The preparatory activities of the Shangzun were generally ready at the end of March of the ninth year of Chongzhen (the tenth year of Tiancong).

On April 5 of the ninth year of Chongzhen (the first year of Chongde), Manchurian Zhubeile, Gushan Ezhen, Mongolian Bagu Mountain Ezhen. The six ministers, Kong, Geng, Shang, the Mongolian Beile of the outer domain, and the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han civil and military officials gathered. Dolgon held a list of characters, Badali held a list of Mongolian characters, and Kong Youde held a list of Chinese characters, and led all the ministers of Baylor, civil and military officials, to kneel at the palace gate.

This is followed by a series of elaborate ceremonial activities. After that, it was decided to choose an auspicious day for the ascension ceremony on April 11. At that time, the official sacrifice to heaven and earth, by the "Kuanwen Benevolent Emperor" honorific title, the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Since then, the Qing Dynasty has been born in Chinese history. Huang Taiji ordered everyone in the country to call Manchuria by its original name, and forbade it to be called Zhushen, and a little-known Manchu expanded into a world-famous important member of the Chinese nation.

Huang Taiji's claim to be the emperor and the founding of the state not only showed his ambition to be on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty, but also in the perfection of the Later Jin regime. It also plays an extremely important role.

The first is to completely abolish the state of the Houjin Four Baylor and increase the centralization of Huang Taiji.

After Huang Taiji became Khan, he abolished the system of dividing the three major beylers into monthly directs, weakened the privileges of the beylers, and made the officials he appointed play a greater role. The post-Jin aristocratic political system was changed into an arbitrary official appointment system of the emperor. In a situation where no one can compete with him. He ascended to the throne of the emperor.

For this. Huang Taiji also vigorously sanctioned those who challenged his authority. For example, half a year before he became emperor, Daishan and Princess Hada had despised him, and the emperor was furious and summoned the ministers of Zhubeile and told them to "not raise a strong person as the king", and relied on their kneeling invitation. only then did he go out to listen to the government.

As for other behaviors that snub Huang Taiji, he also made punishments such as depriving Niu Lu and cutting off the knight. By the time of Chongde, no Houjin nobles would dare to challenge the authority of Huang Taiji.

And one of the more haode is Dolgon. His attitude towards Huang Taiji is extremely respectful, and he never dares to lose etiquette. As a result, Zuihou Dolgon's status rose steadily, and gradually rose to the status of the Manchu nobility, second only to Huang Taiji.

Of course, Huang Taiji knew that Dolgon was the most threatening person in his lineage, but he still gave Dolgon a reward. From here, it can be seen that Huang Taiji is a very mature politician. Everything is not handled out of one's own likes and dislikes, but according to the rules. Of course, the maturity of Huang Taiji has brought great blessings to the writers and directors of film and television dramas in later generations, because the story of Dolgon and Da Yuer has given them great, great, great imagination.

Secondly, it was the Manchus that established a complete national political system.

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not have the name of the cabinet before entering the customs, the Qing Dynasty under the rule of Huang Taiji had begun to take on the inner three courts of the cabinet. Although the incumbents were all university scholars and bachelors, the division of labor was clearer, some were responsible for compiling and examining history, some drafted edicts and commented on the gains and losses of ancient and modern political affairs, and some gave lectures to the emperor. After Chongde, the bachelors and bachelors of the three inner academies had a greater influence on Huang Taiji's decision-making.

In addition, corresponding reforms and further improvements have been made in the institutional setup. Huang Taiji adjusted the body of the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers, and since then the Council of Ministers of the Council has a fixed procedure and has become a tool of absolutist imperial power.

Huang Taiji also set up the Metropolitan Procuratorate and gave them the power to inspect all officials. The Mongolian Yamen, which was once set up to deal with Mongolian affairs, is now changed to the Imperial Domain. The original six departments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate constitute the famous Eight Yamen.

Huang Taiji changed the official system of the eight yamen, and each yamen only set up one person to undertake the administration of Manchuria, and the following officials were set up to participate in politics, directors, deputy directors, and directors, and other officials, from the second class to the fifth class. This strengthened the ruling power of the state headed by him.

The third is to improve the military system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji's rule also continued to make use of the Eight Banners, an organization that integrated the military and the government. He made Eight Banners more and more vibrant through change. And a large part of the power of the Eight Banners Banner Lord was also gradually deprived by Huang Taiji.

To this end, Huang Taiji has taken two important steps:

First, the Eight Banners of Manchuria were constantly supplemented with new members. Huang Taiji used troops against Heilongjiang and other places many times, bringing a large number of ethnic minorities to join the Manchurian community, which was called "Yiche Manchuria", that is, New Manchuria. Huang Taiji incorporated New Manchuria into the Eight Banners. Since most of these ethnic minorities were in the era of fishing and hunting clans, they still retained a strong wildness, so they soon became the main force of the Manchu army.

The second is to improve and expand the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army. In particular, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were directly commanded by Huang Taiji, which in turn strengthened Huang Taiji's military status in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

This expansion of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Mongols and the Eight Banners of the Han Army not only strengthened the armed forces of the Manchus, but also exercised a deeper level of control over the broad masses of the Manchus, Mongolians, and Han people. In particular, in order to seize the right to rule the whole of China, the Eight Banners of the Han Army founded by Huang Taiji were of great significance.

Fourth, the improvement of internal affairs.

In order to keep the country in rule for a long time, although Huang Taiji did not change the means of plundering wealth, he paid more attention to the development of production in the region. He said that the emperor immediately made the protection of land and livestock a legal code. Since then, almost every year, he has regarded the supervision and urging of farming as an important activity, and has repeatedly emphasized doing a good job in agricultural production.

Therefore, after that, the Manchu grain was not too scarce, which was inseparable from this effort. Moreover, the handicraft production of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also made great progress, coupled with the capture of a large number of craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, so the production of military equipment and agricultural tools and household utensils of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also greatly improved. Thus, the Manchus gradually became self-sufficient. Of course, being able to do it does not mean that you will do it, and the Manchu nature of looting will not change.

In addition, Huang Taiji also vigorously developed commercial trade, both in the territory and in the Ming and North Korea. In this kind of trade activity, the eight families of the Jin merchants developed rapidly. They continued to give "blood transfusions" to the Manchus, and also informed the Manchus of the information of the Ming Dynasty in the Guannei, and the eight Jin merchants became despicable traitors for the sake of wealth.

Moreover, Huang Taiji's ethnic policy is also doing well. Under his rule, although there were no longer a large number of Han people being killed, or Han people poisoning, blocking roads and robbing and killing, Huang Taiji still paid attention to easing the social contradictions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He ordered his subordinates to do a good job of "raising people", especially to settle the newly plundered or surrendered Manchurians, Mongols, and Han Chinese.

Huang Taiji even ordered that all the Ming Dynasty edicts accepted by Hada, Yehe, Ula, Huifa and the Mongol tribes in the past be collected and burned. This shows that from now on they were all subjects of the Qing Dynasty and could no longer have illusions about the Ming Dynasty.

It should be said that in the history of ancient China, the Manchu ethnic policy originated from Huang Taiji was relatively haode, and many ethnic policies were even used in modern times. But as an aside, no matter what, being ruled by a foreign race and wearing a big braid on the back of his head always makes the author feel very disgusted.

Zuihou is the strategy formulated by Huang Taiji for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to dominate the world.

Huang Taiji's vision will be divided into three steps: the first step is to unify the Northeast; the second step is to expand to the north of the Yellow River; The third step is to rule all of China. At this time, the Manchu Qing had actually crossed from the first step to the second step.

From here, we can see that in fact, in World War II, the Japanese army's strategy of invading China was strikingly similar to that of Huang Taiji. It was nothing more than at the time of the Lugou Bridge that the Chinese army began to rise up and resist, causing a full-scale war of resistance.

We can also find that what Huang Taiji did was quite similar to what Wu Shigong did in the Runing Army. And Wu Shigong is also a time-traveling person, and he can learn a lot of knowledge from modern education and information. And Huang Taiji can be compared to and surpass Wu Shigong, who has more than two or three hundred years of knowledge, which can't help but make people sigh: Huang Taiji is really eloquent!
