Chapter 215: The Great Qing Dynasty of the Vassal State
Chapter 215 [The Great Qing Dynasty]
In 1630, when Korea could no longer be called Joseon, Dolgon summoned the participating tribes and united with the Mongol Horqin tribe to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Korean resistance, which was completely ruled by the Jurchens. Originally, the residents of Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Fushun all moved to the territory, and the situation stabilized.
Dolgon sat on the throne of the palace, and Azig, Daishan, and Yueto sat on either side of the lower head, among which were Zilharang, Dudu, and Sukh Saha...... They were captured at the Battle of Zunhua, and when Dolgon went to Beijing, he picked them up.
None of these people who have seen the weapons of the Ming army are eager to make a comeback and counterattack the Ming Dynasty. They were frightened, and the large phalanx of chain crossbows and flintlock pistols could break through the onslaught of their cavalry. And hot air balloons, which they had never seen before.
As long as their weapons were still mainly cold weapons, it would be impossible to defeat the Ming army. Of course, they also developed firearms, but the artillery was too cumbersome and could only defend the city, and there was no hope of counterattacking.
Dolgon did not claim the title of emperor, and at the same time said that the Jurchens were attached to the Ming Dynasty. This is a wise move, if the emperor is proclaimed, both the Jurchens and Ao Bai will be under a lot of pressure. Now the Ming Dynasty is full of excitement, and the Ming Dynasty not only pacifies Liao, but also flattens North Korea.
Dolgon said: "I have called you here today to discuss with you how to further control North Korea so that they will no longer resist. ”
Zilharang was the first to propose: "Kill, kill until they dare not resist." ”
Dorgon sighed. If it weren't for the fact that Da Ming's side was in charge, and if he didn't kill the Jurchens, it would be impossible for Zilharang to come back alive, and now he would still be killed. Dorgon didn't want to use too cruel means to suppress the Koreans, but if he didn't kill them, there would still be rebels organized in various parts of the country.
Dai Shandao: "Let's get along, and achieve the goal by assimilating the Koreans." Now the Ming Dynasty has found the benefits of harmony, they are friendly with the Mongols, ease the relationship with Mongolia, and the Mongolian tribes will be completely out of our control, our people are already few, and the main force has been lost, only using harmony is a good way, and then also use the North Koreans as officials. ”
Everyone was a little disappointed, but it was a fact, and the Jurchens had no room for development. Without cooperating with the Mongols, they had too few troops to maintain their rule over Korea. If it weren't for Da Ming's support, I'm afraid Lin Dan Khan would have to clean them up.
Dolgon said: "This battle is undefeated, how long will we have to fight with the Ming who has a million troops?" When I went to Beijing to negotiate, they were willing to give us living space, unconditionally aid us, help us with food, and send people to guide us in agricultural technology, all of which were already on the agreement. Although we have been defeated, the two sides will coexist peacefully, there will be no more wars, trade and development will be possible, and our lives will not be worse than in the past. The massacre of North Koreans must not be done. We slaughter North Korea, and the Ming can come and slaughter us"
Zilharang's plan for bloody repression will only destroy people's livelihood and enslave them. After talking to Aobai, Dorgon was ready to copy the current ruling methods of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would also send people to teach them how to do it.
In the past, the Jin Kingdom was a serfdom society, specializing in hunting, horse archery, warfare, and plundering. The abducted populations of various ethnic groups, mainly Han Chinese, were used as slaves, and the serfs were deprived and appropriated by the Manchus without compensation, except for a very small amount that was left to themselves to barely make ends meet. Moreover, the Jurchens could buy, sell and dispose of these serfs at will, and if they did not agree with it, they could inflict corporal punishment or even death on these serfs. This system of treating people as livestock and arbitrarily driving, exploiting and killing cannot continue.
Many people were upset about this, especially those who were used to being slave owners, and Dolgon spoke harshly. "You can be a landlord, but if anyone uses people as cattle again, they will be punished for their crimes. Fan Jang-kyung, do you have any suggestions if the North Koreans want to recognize our status as soon as possible? ”
Fan Wencheng is now an important minister. He said: "King Hui Khan, don't kill, we can rule the Koreans in other ways, first of all, we can tamper with the history of Korea, scandalize the Korean royal family, and give benefits to the Korean people, and draw the people to our side." Korean magistrates, retaining their original positions. The taxes of the common people can be reduced, in addition, encourage the tuntian, reduce the army, everything retired from the Korean army and farm, exempt from the tax for three years, if there is talent, can also be reused, and another point, that is, the whole people learn Chinese, learn the advanced statecraft of the Ming Dynasty, which is more conducive to our rule, and the Ming court will definitely be willing to help us. ”
Fan Wencheng affirmed that Aobai would help the Jurchens develop, and Dolgon also knew this, so he reused Aobai's family members, Weiqi and Zhuo Butai had already been promoted several levels in a row, and even Aobai's younger brother, Baha in the same year as Dolgon, had also entered the Yellow Flag.
Fan Wencheng's suggestion is clearly more reasonable.
Dolgon ordered Pham Van Cheng and Dahae to take charge of changing the history of Korea and destroying historical materials that were unfavorable to the Jurchens. The image of the Korean emperor and some historical figures is scandalized, and if it is combined with the history of the Ming Dynasty, they can even be said to be in a gang with Mao Wenlong and changed it into a just war. Dolgon knew that Ao Bai was good at making up stories, and when necessary, he would ask Fan Wencheng to send Da Ming again to communicate with Ao Bai.
Pham Van Cheng also offered to inspect books throughout the DPRK and take the opportunity to tamper with and destroy some books. It is necessary to control the literati at home, and not let them write casually. In fact, it is to promote the literary prison and maintain the rule. All the words that dare to write books saying that the Jurchens are not good and want to incite people to revolt must all be harmonized. Doing so will corrupt the atmosphere of the ideological and cultural circles, but it will be beneficial to the maintenance of the rule.
Dai Shan said: "Do we want to change the hairstyle, clothes and clothing of the North Koreans?" ”
Dolgon remembered Aobai's words, "Keeping your head without your hair, and keeping your hair without your head is the most barbaric and stupid policy." Isn't it strange that you don't want to make progress when you fall behind, but want others to be like you?
He said: "The concept of Koreans and Han people is somewhat similar, and the hair of the parents cannot be cut off casually, otherwise it is unfilial." If we try to change these details of the North Koreans, it will only inspire countless people to resist. The clothes of the North Koreans are not ugly, since they have entered the city to live, there is no need to keep the things of the past, we can have a new beginning, the Jurchens can wear Korean clothes, and we can also introduce Hanfu. And the hair, keep it all, no more wars, why bother with a hairstyle with money rat eyes? ”
The crowd did not want to change the hairstyle, and Dolgon took a lot of words, and some people put forward suggestions with racial and racial segregation implications, which were also rejected by Dolgon. Jurchens and Koreans were allowed to intermarry. To set an example, he decided to marry a North Korean girl, the sister of the woman who had stabbed Hauge to death.
The Jurchens were a bunch of barbarians. After the defeat, civilization began to take root among them. After this meeting, North Korea also began a transformation. Everything went well, because the Eight Banners did not carry out massacres in the territory and treated the Korean people better than the previous government. Fan Wencheng and other ministers wrote articles denouncing the oppression of the people by the Joseon Emperor Yi Liang, and proposed policies such as tuntian, tax reduction, and tax exemption. The people of North Korea quickly gave up their resistance.
There are also bad points. The Jurchen aristocracy stook all the land they fancied in Korea, whether it was owned by the common people or the bureaucratic landlords, and the houses and belongings in it were all for themselves, but the war subsided.
Previously, the Jurchens traded with Jin merchants in Zhangjiakou and had to spend up to five times as much money to buy grain. But as soon as the two sides signed an agreement, the Ming Dynasty unconditionally funded them with 400,000 stone of grain in winter, which was unthinkable before, but it just happened. The Ming used the waterway to trade with the territory of Korea, and the price was also very fair, and there was no longer any exploitation and oppression of the Jurchens, and the Jurchens gradually reduced their hostility towards the Daming.
Without exploitation, there is no resistance. If the Ming Dynasty could treat ethnic minorities equally, maybe Nurhachi would also spend his life plainly.
In order to show respect for the Ming Dynasty. Dolgon sent Fan Wencheng to Beijing to face the saint, and asked the "Chongzhen" emperor to determine the new feudal title.
"Chongzhen" asked Aobai: "What should you give them a name?" Why don't you call it North Korea? ”
Ao Bai said: "If they are allowed to keep the name of North Korea, the Jurchens will be very uncomfortable, and they may have trouble in the future." If it is called Jinguo, it is like declaring their independence and occupying Korea, and when people evaluate history in later generations, there will be some criticism. I thought, I might as well come up with a brand new name. How about calling it 'Qing'? Purity is not mixed, I hope that the government of the Qing country can be innocent, without any turbidity and decay. How does the emperor feel? ”
"This name is good, Mr. Fan, on the North Korean side, change the country name to Qing."
The name of the Qing Kingdom was decided. Ao Bai had a preconceived impression in his heart, feeling that this name was the most suitable for them.
He said to Fan Wencheng again: "Mr. Fan, Jin Guo's side, I still want you to do more." In the future, if you miss Daming, you can resign and come back with your relatives, and I will give you wealth here and commend you for your contribution to the friendship between the two races. ”
"With the words of an adult, Fan Xian will die without regrets." Fan Wencheng bowed and said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, the Qing Kingdom will definitely develop well, in addition to us Khan, the Guerjia clan will also assist the Khan." ”
Ao Bai nodded, understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "There is one more thing, the letter you gave to Dolgon is about marriage, and he understands it at a glance."
Dorgon has a daughter, and Aobai has a son, so can there be a marriage?。.。
