Since the Qing army was driven north of the Yellow River last spring, the actual line of control between the two countries was bounded by the Yellow River. No one was able to move forward. In the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party and Liu Ziguang were busy launching a coup to overthrow the eunuchs.
When the Danghoudang was ruling, the same story was playing out in distant Beijing.
Since Prince Rui and Regent Dorgon died, the actual rule of the Qing Dynasty fell into the hands of Obai. The remnants of the failed southern expedition were still a powerful military force. With these troops, Obai achieved great success.
Taking into account the qualifications of Minister Ming, he annexed the most powerful Zhengbai Banner to his own name and became the flag owner of Zhengbai Banner. He suppressed other banners and supported his own power. He seemed not to take the young Emperor Kangxi seriously.
He openly carried a sword in the court hall. Not only did he not kneel down when he saw the emperor, he even asked Kangxi to call him his uncle.
The name of Xiao Kangxi was Aixinjueluo Xuanye. He was the son of Emperor Shunzhi Fulin and the grandson of Huang Taiji and Dorgon. Of course, his biological grandfather was Prince Rui. The eleven-year-old Xuanye was far more mature than his peers.
He is much smarter and more mature. Under the guidance of the imperial grandmother, the Empress Dowager Da Yuer, he was familiar with poetry and books at a young age and had a thorough study of Chinese culture. This was definitely not the case for his elders who had only read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
match.
Speaking of Kangxi's education, we have to mention his grandmother. This woman who can be called the mother of the Qing Dynasty was an authentic Mongolian. Her surname was Borjigit, her first name was Bumubutai, and her nickname was Dayu.
Er. is the daughter of Beile Zhaisang of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia. When she was thirteen years old, she was married to Huang Taiji, the son of Nurhachi, the "Yingming Khan" of the Later Jin Dynasty who rose up in Baishan and Heishui, as a political marriage.
Da Yu'er certainly had no love for Huang Taiji, who was twenty years older than her. Ever since she got married, she had fallen in love with her brother-in-law Dorgon, who was about the same age. However, as a woman in the political whirlpool, she had no right to choose.
In love, one can only bear humiliation and sacrifice personal happiness for the sake of her husband's hegemony. Of course, this does not prevent him from having private interactions with Dorgon. The fact that Fulin is actually Dorgon's biological son is proof of that. Fortunately, he is surrounded by white mountains and black waters.
The heroic nation does not care about the so-called moral values valued by these Han talents. When Dayu'er married Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji had already married her aunt, and later married her sister Hai Lanzhu, making them three aunts and nephews.
Serving a husband together.
Huang Taiji didn't take Da Yu'er seriously at that time, and often sent the young and beautiful girl to engage in some seductive jobs. It is said that after the Ming Dynasty general Hong Chenghou was captured, he was very strong-willed and unwilling to surrender until he died.
Then Dayu'er entered the prison cell and stayed with Hong Chenggou for one night. Master Hong just regarded it as a plaything sent by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He enjoyed it without any ceremony, saying in his heart that he should eat what he should eat and play what he should play. Surrender would be a million dollars.
Absolutely.
Early the next morning, Da Yu'er put on the formal attire of the imperial concubine and once again accompanied Huang Taiji to persuade him to surrender. This time, the iron-clad Hong Chenghou completely turned into a soft-hearted man. The Manchus were really very particular, so the emperor
Even if you can give him a concubine to play with, why are you afraid that he will be unkind to you in the future? Mr. Hong was deeply impressed by Huang Taiji's magnanimity, and he bowed to him on the spot, and has since become a loyal lackey of the Manchu Dynasty. (This joke comes from my childhood.
I watched a Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series that seemed to be called Queen Dayu'er. I didn't make it up.)
Therefore, Huang Taiji's tolerance of Da Yu'er's interactions with Dorgon also shows that he does not care about these vulgar traditions. It is not a bad thing to use one of his many wives to win over his younger brother who holds military power.
Later, Huang Taiji died suddenly during the southern expedition, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell into chaos. Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge, Huang Taiji's brother Daishan, younger brothers Dorgon, Azige, Duduo and others all had the strength to take over as emperor. At this critical moment,
, Da Yuer relied on his favored status and intelligence to win over all parties, especially the key figures Dorgon and Daishan.
In the end, she succeeded and supported her and Dorgon's son Fulin to ascend the throne. This incident once again showed that Dayuer took the overall situation into consideration. She did not blindly help her lover Dorgon become the emperor for the sake of love, but let the emperor
Taiji's nominal son Fulin ascended the throne in order to ensure the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, Dorgon was also a man of friendship and did not care about the emperor's false reputation. He was satisfied with being the emperor's father and regent.
As the Manchus succeeded step by step, she was gradually involved in one political struggle after another, and demonstrated her outstanding political talent. She gradually established a solid position and became a consistent figure in the political arena of the early Qing Dynasty.
The character. Oboi was in power, and as the imperial grandmother, Dayu'er naturally would not stand idly by. She helped her grandson form a small team, which was all composed of young Manchu and Han elites, including Jiang Xu, Suo'etu, and Na
Lan Mingzhu and others are all important members.
After the failure of the second southern expedition, according to Dorgon's will, Ao Bai took over as the flag owner of Zhengbai Banner. Zhengbai Banner, like Zhenghuang and Xianghuang Banners, was the top three banners directly under the royal family. Ao Bai sent
Zhengbai Qi took over the security work of the palace justifiably, and took on the role of Minister of Guan Ming. It is said that power can make people corrupt, and Obai was no exception. After taking control of the military and political power, he was no longer the hot-blooded general before, but
He exposed his tyrannical and violent nature, bullied the emperor's youth and ignorance, planted party members, excluded dissidents, and took over the government. He was like a regent. Ao Bai was born in the army, and he was not used to the Shunzhi Dynasty's practice of absorbing Han culture and changing the etiquette system.
, once they had the power in their hands, they would carry out their orders, follow the ancestral system in everything, and restore the old rules. They also openly broke Shunzhi's four-year ban on no longer being trapped in land, and took advantage of the exchange of flags and land to expand the enclosure of land and make a large number of farmers
Displaced. Oboi's perverse behavior aroused dissatisfaction from both the government and the public, but most people were intimidated by Obai's power and did not dare to speak out.
The existence of Turtle Bai has become a threat to the emperor's authority, but Ao Bai has already matured. If handled slightly improperly, it may cause great changes. How to solve this problem? At this time, Dayu'er already had considerable experience in these problems.
.She quietly paid attention to her impatient grandson, asking him to endure everything and at the same time arrange it without leaving any trace.
At the suggestion of Jiang Xu, Mingzhu and others, the palace recruited a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old clan children to study and play with Kangxi every day. These teenagers practiced Buku opera in their free time. For teenagers, they like to play this kind of
The wrestling game was completely understandable, so no one thought much about it. Just when everyone was accustomed to the palace Buku play, one day in the autumn of the first year of Kangxi, the emperor announced that Ao Bai had entered the palace to have an audience. Ao Bai kept the palace guards at his side.
Under his control, he came to the emperor's study room without hesitation. The young men who had been ambushing around him suddenly swarmed up and captured him with all their hands and feet. When the stinging worshiper calmed down, despite his extraordinary physical strength,
It's all to no avail.
When Ao Bai was captured, the Empress Dowager urgently dispatched the Zhenghong Banner and Zhenglan Banner troops from the Fengtai Camp to Beijing, and together with the Zhenghuang Banner and the Yellow Banner troops, they controlled the capital. Without Ao Bai, the Zhengbai Banner troops did not have the courage to commit rebellion.
, the Empress Dowager had no intention of pursuing them, and the turmoil was calmed down without a single blow.
The collapse of the Aobai Group is inseparable from the wise leadership of the Empress Dowager, the great wisdom and bravery of the young Emperor Kangxi, and the loyal assistance and suggestions of young Manchu and Han officials. In order to commend these young people, and to build a foundation for their grandchildren
A perfect and efficient official system, the Empress Dowager placed these energetic young people in high positions for training. It was at this time that Jiang Xu was appointed as the Minister of Rites at the age of twenty-five. The rise of these young people gave Beijing
The Manchu Qing regime brought a fresh breath, the advanced Han culture was absorbed and used, and the excellent traditions of the Manchus were preserved. The culture of the Han nationality is really too broad and profound, and the various levels of civilization in literature, economy, science, etc. cannot be expressed in the simple Tungus language.
It can be learned, so the Manchu rulers simply gave up Manchu and learned Chinese. In the ten years since the Manchus took over Beijing, most Manchus have learned Chinese. This kind of accent blends with the dialects near Beijing.
The language formed the Mandarin under the Manchu rule, echoing the Jianghuai Mandarin in Nanjing.
With the help of this group of elites, Xiao Kangxi followed his advice and eased the oppression of the Han people. In addition to forcing him to shave his hair and change clothes, he tried to do things that could eliminate ethnic conflicts, such as allowing intermarriage between Manchus and Han people.
Employ more Han officials and commend Han heroes such as Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang to show the magnanimity and understanding of the people of the Manchu rulers.
Jiang Xu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, took this opportunity to launch his research results over the years. He declared that the Manchus and Han were by no means enemies, but brotherly nations that shared weal and woe. The Han people with the farming culture of the Central Plains were docile sheep and younger brothers.
In the nomadic culture of the north and west, the so-called Tatars are strong and fierce wolves, and they are elder brothers. It is normal for brothers to often have some friction, and it is this behavior of elders bullying younger brothers that has tempered the weak Han nation.
To prevent Han culture from disappearing, this is definitely not invasion, but blood transfusion, blood transfusion again and again, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Wuhu chaos in China, to the Mongols' iron hoofs across the country, and to today's Manchu Qing Dynasty taking over the Central Plains.
As for blood transfusions to the Han people, it is with the blood transfusions of these sturdy people that the Chinese civilization can be continued and the territory can be expanded. Without the help of my brothers, the Han people would have degenerated into an inferior race long ago. How could there be such a thing?
Numerous inventions and literary masterpieces. All of this is attributed to the wolf culture of the nomadic people.
The horror of lies often lies in the fact that they sound true. Under the strong encouragement of the Manchurian Ministry of Rites, this wolf and sheep theory was actually accepted by many northern scholars. They naively thought that if they also learned the wolf nature, they would be better.
The society and the rulers were on an equal footing. Jiang Xu's works even spread to the Southern Ming Dynasty and were widely circulated among scholars. This deviant but seemingly unreasonable argument was talked about by everyone. Jiang Xu became a generation of thinkers.
Because of this, the Manchu Qing court sent him as an envoy to Nanjing to discuss major peace issues.
