Because, at that time, Huang Taiji had completely defeated Lin Danhan, and he died in Dacaotan, Qinghai.
Dorgon captured his eight people, including Fujin and Fujin, as well as ministers and subordinates. He also obtained the jade seal of the country (the one found in Manduhai, the one dug out with the hooves of sheep eating grass). It is unknown whether it is true or false. Some say that it is true.
It was the Great Yuan Jade Seal brought to the grassland by Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, Shunzhi dug up Dorgon's grave, probably also hoping to find the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.)
The entire Eastern Mongolia and Monan Mongolia surrendered. The Khalkha Mongols surrendered. The Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea, the Jurchen tribes in the Beishan Mountains, the Sauron tribes, and the barbarian tribes all surrendered.
It won many victories against the Ming Dynasty. Its territory ranged from the East China Sea (Sea of Japan) to the Altai Mountains, and everything north of the Great Wall was within the scope of the Jin Dynasty. Its area exceeded the Khitan and Liao Dynasties.
In this case, Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor and changed the name of the country to Qing Dynasty.
But now the situation has changed. Yang Fan turned Monan Mongolia into a no-man's land. He made a sneak attack on Khalkha Mongolia and obtained the territory of Tushetu Khan in the middle. He cut Outer Khalkha directly into two parts. Desert Mongolia was also destroyed.
He was defeated.
Now, Huang Taiji had to pay attention to the threat to the west. Although it was temporarily separated from the Chahar region and not directly bordering the border, he felt that he was compressed in a corner of Liaodong.
At this time, he had to integrate all his strength to break through the dilemma.
Therefore, Fan Wencheng secretly suggested to him that it would be best to establish a country and claim the title of emperor, to be on an equal footing with the emperor of the Southern Dynasties. Then use the improved entire bureaucracy system and noble rank to inspire people. It would also provide space for the surrender of Mongolia and Jurchen tribes with prestige and rewards.
Huang Taiji thought about it again and again and felt that Fan Wencheng's opinion was right.
However, he only accepted half of it, that is, changing the name of the clan is fine, but proclaiming himself emperor cannot be mentioned yet.
Because in the past two years, although he has made a lot of efforts to improve his prestige, the situation of the four Baylors sitting in power at the same time has not been fundamentally resolved.
Although the Zhenglan Banner and its leader Mang Gurtai were annihilated by Yang Fan in Monan. However, Amin and Daishan took the opportunity to annex the Zhenglan Banner's bannermen, territory, cattle, sheep, and fields.
The two of them joined forces, but they themselves did not dare to resist, so they had no choice but to let it go.
Therefore, it is too early for Fan Wencheng to strengthen his authority by changing the country's title to emperor.
The reason why Huang Taiji decided to detour to Mongolia and send troops to Jizhen this time was to see if he could find an opportunity to weaken Daishan and Amin during the war.
If this battle is won, if a lot of looting and seizures are made, it will definitely strengthen the Eight Banners' support for itself, thereby consolidating its position. If it fails, the cause will be blamed on Amin.
Because of the three Bellarys, he is the weakest.
As the strongest Huang Taiji, he would attack the weak ones first.
What he fears most is that the second and third parties will join forces to get rid of him first. Then Daishan will get rid of Amin. This Liaodong will belong to Daishan. Therefore, he must first get rid of Amin and annex it.
Amin's subordinates will be able to deal with Daishan if his strength rises again.
Therefore, Daishan, an old fox, teamed up with Amin to take the lead and annex Zhenglan Banner, just to arouse his anger and make him take action.
This formed a de facto alliance between Amin and Daishan to deal with him together. Unfortunately, Huang Taiji saw it very clearly and actually held back his words. He pretended not to see it. Daishan almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in.
Therefore, Huang Taiji accepted the proposal to change the name of the country to Qing and the name of the clan to Manchuria. The mention of proclaiming himself emperor was directly deleted.
After Ning Wan, I continued: "For the purpose of sending troops this time and ensuring the safety of the rear, I suggest that the Manchus and Han Residence Orders be promulgated. The most important thing in governing the country is to first settle the people. Please declare that "Manchus and Han are united without any differences or similarities" and implement "
The policy of "reorganizing households into civilian households" ordered most of the Han people to be removed from the village fields, "divided into villages and living separately, and classified as civilian households". The Han people were restored from serfs to civilian households, that is, their original status as free citizens, which eased the tension between Zhu Shen and
Nikan's contradictions. Only in this way can society gradually relax and stabilize."
Fan Wencheng was shocked. He didn't expect Ning Wan and I to be so crazy.
Huang Taiji did not get angry, but fell into deep thought.
He found that this crazy suggestion did him a lot of good.
First of all, this is tantamount to depriving other lords of direct control over the Han Nikan. It is conducive to strengthening his power. He has always wanted to break the relationship between masters and slaves and strengthen the power of the Great Khan, but even if he has no good strategy, he cannot
I dare not take action for fear of causing a backlash.
Starting from Nurhaci’s rebellious behavior in his later years, the Han people, Nikan, fought hard to resist.
Because Nurhachi ordered Zhushen to eat and live together with the Han people to facilitate surveillance. This led Zhushen to take the opportunity to oppress the Han people. The Han people could not bear the humiliation. Because they lived together, conflicts were easily intensified. The Han people often found opportunities to kill Zhushen. This led to Zhushen
A large number of people were killed.
Poisoning, beating with sap, hacking to death while sleeping... all kinds of methods were used to prevent it, which made Zhu Shen nervous. When buying food, he had to register the name of the store and the name of the owner. He was afraid of poisoning.
Ning Wanwo's suggestion was actually to take advantage of Zhu Shen's fear of revenge by Nikan to deprive each banner owner and the number of slaves controlled by Ezhen at all levels. Put these slaves under the management of the imperial court. The previous model,
These slave owners were too powerful. The imperial court could not manage the Han people at all.
This means that the huge population of the Later Jin Dynasty is not in the hands of the imperial court. This is very dangerous.
But this time, after the Eight Banners Army left, the number of Zhushen's strong men was greatly reduced. If they continue to live together, it is easy to cause trouble. Therefore, separation is the best choice.
I believe Daishan and Amin have nothing to say. If they object, once something goes wrong, the fault will be blamed on them, which will be an opportunity to punish and weaken him. As long as another bannerman is killed, and the lower-level bannermen,
I will also hate them both.
If they agree, they can put all these slaves under the management of the imperial court, which is equivalent to strengthening the centralization of power. It is a good thing for both left and right.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Ning Wan and me appreciatively. Although this villain looks annoying, he is full of bad ideas, but he is very useful.
"Okay, you come up with a statement, and I will discuss it with the two Baylors." Huang Taiji said with satisfaction.
Ning Wanwo was overjoyed. This proposal was very risky, as it might be seen as a favor to the Han people. But obviously he made the right bet, and Huang Taiji understood the stakes. What a wise master, he thought excitedly.
He glanced at Fan Wencheng provocatively and said in his heart, don't look at you kid, you got up early. I've already been unhappy with you. I dare to risk my life and gain wealth through danger. How dare you play like this?
"My last suggestion is to ask the Great Khan to establish a court organization."
Huang Taiji's cold voice came, "Ning Aiqing, please tell me in detail how our government should set up institutions."
