Chongzhen Ming Dynasty: Starting from Meishan Chapter 444 Eight Banners Discussing Government
"That's a good question," Dorgon said, "Who has become less enterprising?"
"Who is stopping someone from progressing? And who is stopping the Qing Dynasty from progressing?"
His sharp gaze swept across the nobles, and Dorgon said word by word: "I am talking about those fools who still cling to old habits and are unwilling to make any changes to this day!"
"Old Fourteen, I disagree with this statement." Daishan finally couldn't hold himself back.
"The stereotypes you just mentioned are the rules set by the old Khan? For example, the Eight Banners discussing politics?"
"How can we not talk about the Eight Banners' political affairs? The rules set by the old Khan cannot be changed?" Dorgon snorted and said, "For example, the system of rewards and punishments, the old Khan's rules, if you lose a battle, you must be punished, and you can only fight
Only by winning the battle can you get rewards. This rule was applicable in the past, but what about now? Does it still apply?"
"Why doesn't it apply now? If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. What's wrong with that?"
Jierhalang finally seized the opportunity and began to fight back against Dorgon head-on. He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and he felt that there was a great chance to make Dorgon fall into a big fight today.
If nothing else, at least he should be deprived of his imperial father's title of regent.
"Prince Zheng." Dorgon looked at Jierhalang coldly and asked, "If you encounter an enemy that is difficult to defeat and requires Yiqi to make a huge sacrifice, then after you finally defeat this enemy, you will make the sacrifice."
How should we judge this flag? Should we still punish it according to the rules set by the old Khan? Or should we modify the rules set by the old Khan and reward it?"
"This..." Jierhalang suddenly felt a little flustered, as if he had been fooled?
Dorgon naturally would not let Jierhalang go easily, and then asked: "Prince Zheng, what do you think we should do?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Jilharang could only say: "Of course, according to the old Khan's rules, there is no sacrifice. If you can't beat him, you deserve to be punished. There's nothing to say about it."
"In that case, please ask Prince Zheng to capture Dagokou."
Dorgon said: "Now the Qing Dynasty has encountered a strong enemy."
"Dagukou?" Jierhalang said with a guilty conscience, "Isn't this your business?"
Dorgon said: "If I heard you correctly, Prince Zheng, you just said that you came to Dagukou this time to share the worries of the Qing Dynasty for me. Why are you backing out again now?"
"But now it's Lao Si4 who is attacking Dagukou after all."
Daishan took the initiative to help Jierhalang and said, "We can't take your credit."
"No need to rob." Dorgon said suddenly, "I will give this credit to you now."
"Prince Li is right, how can we take the credit from the emperor father and the regent? This is not good."
Naturally, Jierhalang would not jump into this pit of fire. Although he did not know what was going on, since even Dorgon could not avoid it, he would not take the initiative to take the job.
Unfortunately, Dorgon refused to let him go easily.
Dorgon said: "Prince Zheng, this is the decree of the imperial court!"
"Prince Rui, this is not the will of the imperial court. It is clearly your own will." Jierhalang was forced into a corner and could only fight back, "I demand that the Eight Banners discuss politics and make a decision."
"Okay, then it's as you wish." Dorgon sneered, "Then let's discuss politics with the Eight Banners."
Jierhalang was the first to say: "I, Xianglan Banner, believe that Prince Rui should continue to be responsible for the Battle of Dagukou."
Now that the two sides have broken up, Jilharang no longer recognizes Dorgon's status as the emperor's father as regent, and only calls him Prince Rui. Anyway, Dorgon has never recognized his uncle's status as regent.
"Two red flags second the proposal." Daishan followed without hesitation, "It is better not to change the commander in the battle of Dagukou."
Azig went on to say: "I, Zheng Baiqi, and twenty Niu Lu also seconded the proposal. It is better for you, the Fourteenth One, to continue the fight."
Dorgon's face fell, and he glared at Azig fiercely. This is really a fool's errand. It's hard to guard against a domestic thief. After this, I will have to take away your title and strip you of your flag.
Seeing Dorgon's unkind expression, Azig said earnestly: "Old Fourteen, I am doing this for your own good. You will understand and be grateful to me in the future."
When Dorgon heard this, he really wanted to kick Azig in the face.
Jierhalang and Daishan turned their eyes to the flag owner of the Zhenglan Banner: "Gulmahun?"
Gurma Hui hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "We are listening to the emperor and the regent."
Now it’s Jierharang and Daishan’s turn and they want to kick Gurma Hui in the face. Didn’t they talk well on the way here? Why did they change their mind after they arrived at Dagokou? Gur Ma Hui, you are a villain.
.
The situation changed to two red flags, a blue flag plus a straight white flag with twenty niulus, and two white flags lacking twenty niulus plus a true blue flag. Although Daishan and Jierhalang had the upper hand, the advantage was not huge.
At this time, we have to look at the two yellow flags, which is Fulin's choice.
"Your Majesty?" Jierhalang and Daishan turned to Fulin.
Although Fulin has become very submissive to Dorgon since the beginning of last year, and even changed his name to Dorgon Emperor Ama, they are more willing to believe that this is due to the instruction of Queen Mother Bumubutai rather than out of
Fulin's original intention, so they both felt that Fulin would definitely make the right decision if Bumbutai was not around.
Fulin couldn't help but feel a little moved. If he supported Jierhalang and Daishan, could he bring down Dorgon?
However, the next moment, Fulin decisively abandoned this idea, not to mention whether this could really bring down Dorgon. Even if he really brought down Dorgon, his situation would become better than it is now.
?
Would Jierhalang and Daishan really treat their mother and son better?
You know, both Jierhalang and Daishanke have a lot of descendants.
However, Dorgon did not have a son, only a daughter.
As he grows older, Fulin understands E Niang's difficulties more and more.
Before he reaches adulthood and has the ability to protect himself, the best choice is to rely on Dorgon's wings. Otherwise, not only will the two yellow flags be saved, but his life will also be lost.
Didn't his imperial brother Hauge lose his Zhenglan flag and his life?
Thinking of this, Fulin said without hesitation: "I listen to Huang Ama."
"Ah?" Jierhalang and Daishan were stunned when they heard this.
Such results deviated greatly from their expected prospects.
"Prince Zheng." Dorgon's expression became cold, "The results of the Eight Banners' political discussion have been announced. From now on, I will give you the Daku Palace. You must not let the emperor or the Qing Dynasty be disappointed."
Jierhalang could only bite the bullet and accept it.
There is no choice.
…
At the same time, in the bunker at Dagukou.
Under the dim oil lamp, scholars such as Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun and Sun Fanzhi were having a meeting. This was a habit brought to the scholar camp by Chongzhen.
When not fighting, discuss your ideals and beliefs every night before going to bed.
When there is a war, we switch to war discussions and summaries.
Sun Fanzhi first reported today's losses: "After a day of fierce fighting, a total of nine New Army soldiers were killed, seven were seriously injured, and more than a hundred were lightly injured."
Yes, that's right, this is the only casualty of the New Army.
During the day, the New Army and Guan Ning's army were having a lively ping-pong fight across the ditch, but in fact, Guan Ning's army's matchlock guns were no threat at all.
One is the accuracy difference.
Second, the failure rate is high.
Third, it has low lethality.
Because these matchlock guns were eliminated by the Eight Banners and Han Army.
The matchlock guns of the Eight Banners and Han Army were all captured by the Ming Army.
Everyone knows how lethal the matchlock guns of the Ming army were.
How can the quality of a matchlock gun that requires a craftsman's own money to be made be any better?
If the gunpowder is loaded too much, the barrel will explode directly. If the gunpowder is loaded too little, the lethality will be the same as that of a bird.
The texture of the Rumi gun is better, but the bird gun is simply invisible. It cannot penetrate iron armor at close range, and even cotton armor cannot penetrate at a distance of more than thirty steps.
The new army wore cotton armor with iron plates inside.
So as long as you don't get hit directly in the face by a lead, basically nothing will happen.
Then the new army's hat-shaped helmets all have a wide rim. After firing the gun, they will lower their heads. The wide rim can protect the face, so the probability of being directly hit by a lead on the face is extremely small.
So after a day of fighting, only nine people were killed and seven were seriously injured.
Sun Fanzhi added: "In fact, more than 500 Green Camp prisoners of war were captured, and more than half of them were seriously injured."
Zhu Yanzuo, the Zhuozhou medical officer in charge of the medical camp, took the opportunity to complain: "In order to treat these Green Camp prisoners of war, a lot of medicines from our medical camp were used."
"Don't worry about medicines." Yan Yingyuan waved his hand and said.
"As long as the North Sea thaws and the navy arrives, you can have as many medicines as you want."
Sun Fanzhi went on to say: "Through the daytime battles, we can find that if we use the pear rope chain and the night fertilization weapon well, they can still play a very good role, but the most lethal ones are the landmines."
"However, there is also a flaw in landmines, which is that the timing is difficult to control."
"During the daytime battle, our timing to detonate the mines was a little too early."
"If we could wait a moment later and wait for more green soldiers to enter the trench, the effect would be better."
After a pause, he added: "So I was wondering if I could get a self-igniting mine?"
"Self-igniting landmines?" Yan Yingyuan said thoughtfully, "You are saying that no one needs to ignite the mines, as long as the Green Camp soldiers trip over the mines, they will explode on their own, right?"
"That's what I mean." Sun Fanzhi nodded and said.
"Write it down," Yan Yingyuan said happily, "and report it back to the Gewu Department and the Weaponry Department."
"The rest is nothing." Sun Fanzhi said, "After all, the Green Camp only attacked twice."
"Okay, then you go back first." Yan Yingyuan nodded and warned, "You must be vigilant tonight. If I am not mistaken, Jiannu will definitely launch a night attack."
"Okay." Sun Fanzhi said solemnly, "I will scatter pear ropes all over the slope protection and in the trenches, and lay down the troops at night. In addition, I will also arrange ambushes in the trenches. As long as the slaves dare to come, I will definitely give them a chance.
There is no return.”
Yan Yingyuan turned to Feng Houdun and said, "Pei Qing, your right camp should also be careful."
"Understood." Feng Houdun said solemnly, "Our right battalion will also be more vigilant."
