Chapter 477: Hauge proclaims himself emperor, second entry 1
Shenyang.
Just after the third year of Chongde, the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom were busy. The newly built Khan King's palace was brightly lit. After two years of preparation, Hauge finally decided to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Before the fireworks of the Lantern Festival had dissipated, Hauge summoned Minister Baylor of the Eight Banners to go to the palace to discuss matters. According to the draft he had discussed with Fan Wencheng and Bowen in advance, Hauge said eloquently in the hall: "This change of Yuan Dynasty to the throne is an unprecedented feat. , is the beginning of my great golden rule over the world. Therefore, this celebration cannot be a celebration of my Aixinjueluo family. I want to be the emperor of all people in the world, not the emperor of my Jurchen clan. The celebration must reflect my greatness. Jin Lian Meng Youhan is tolerant of all rivers.
I want to go against the practices of the emperors of the Central Plains. In the past dynasties of the Central Plains, they regarded the southerners as barbarians and the northerners as barbarians, barbarians, and Di. They tried their best to attack and instigate people. From the bottom of their hearts, they despised and rejected people who were not of Han descent. Deliberately provoking conflicts, causing constant wars on the border. This time I will use a large number of Mongolian and Han officials, and they will be reused. Those who should be crowned kings and those who should be promoted should have an important place in the celebration. All of them. The candidates in the process must reflect one Manchu and one Mongolian, and the number of civil and military officials must be half Manchu and half Mongolian."
After Hauge finished speaking, Jirharang stepped forward with a sincere look on his face and said: "King Khan can look at problems from the perspective of the king of the world, and the ministers and others are far inferior."
Hauge waved his hand, meaning that I don't want to listen to these flattery words, and he continued: "I would like to present the royal treasures of Manchu and Mongolia to Yue Tuo and Ezhe as a group, and to present the royal treasures of Manchu and Han to Saha Lian He and Li Yongfang were in the same group. The list of urging people to advance was also presented and read out by one person each from the Manchu, Mongolian and Han Dynasties."
Jierhalang still looked sincerely convinced and sighed again: "In this way, Manchu, Mongolian and Han will really become one family."
He was very satisfied with Ji'erharang's knowledge. He nodded and said to Minister Zhubeile: "You all must remember that the world of the Great Jin Kingdom was not conquered by our Jurchen clan, but by the Manchu and Mongolian people. The three ethnic groups of Han are united and fought together. We must not discriminate against Mongolians or Hans at any time. We must not learn from the petty ambitions of those emperors in the Central Plains. We must not always treat foreigners as aliens. In that case, sooner or later, foreigners will be pushed to the bottom. On the opposite side, imagine that if Li Chengliang could have treated my various ministries in Jianzhou kindly, instead of engaging in his policy of using barbarians to control barbarians and pulling them together to fight one another, if he had not maliciously killed my ancestors, the old Khan would never have raised troops to raise righteousness, and the Southern Dynasty would not have It will not reach the point where it is today. As the old saying goes, Yin Jian is not far away. In the era of Queen Xia, the Manchu, Mongolian and Han trinity, and the three races working together in the same court are our eternal national policy and the basis for us to rule the Central Plains. You must remember."
Everyone responded in unison: "I will remember it."
Looking at the surrender of Minister Zhu Beile, Hauge was filled with pride. In just three years, he had managed to make the Eight Banners surrender just like his father Khan had done before his death. He had to be proud of it.
"According to Mr. Wen Cheng's wishes, when I proclaim myself emperor, all the Baylors should also be crowned kings. I have decided to designate my second uncle as Prince Hexu Zheng, ranking first among the kings. The other kings will be announced by my second uncle."
Hauge threw out the first candy he had prepared long ago.
Although Ji'erharang was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the appointment of Prince Heshuo Zheng. After calming down the ecstasy in his heart, he looked at Minister Zhubeile solemnly and preached: " During this change of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor granted a total of six princes: Yue Tuo was named Prince Heshuosu, Duduo was named Prince Heshuo Yu, Prince Sahalian was named Prince Heshuocheng, Degelei was named Prince Heshuogong, and Abai was named Prince Heshuo. Prince Yi. The above princes all lead the banner, and the emperor personally leads the two yellow flags. The original white flag of Dorgon was led by Abai. In ancient Tang Dynasty, he was named the Prince of Dorowuying, Tabai was named Doro Ping'an Beile, and Mandahai Rao Yubeile for Doro."
After Jilharang's announcement, Hauge scanned the area and found that Shuotuo, the second son of Daishan, and Wakda, the fourth son, had very unnatural expressions on their faces. They sat there and moved their upper bodies several times, but did not speak.
Hauge knew that they were dissatisfied, but he remained calm and said: "Today's enfeoffment is based on the method of the previous Khan. Anyone who leads a banner will be granted the title of king, and those who do not lead the banner will not be granted the title of king. In Tang Dynasty,
He is the direct brother of Xianhan, so he is granted the title of Prince of Dorowuying. The rest of the titles are based either on military merit or on official performance, so please do not have any complaints in your hearts."
"I have noted it down."
Hauge glanced at Jierharang, who hurriedly said again: "Mr. Wencheng was the first to deposit money, participated in the center, and worked hard for our Dajin. This time the yuan change cannot be a loss to Mr. Wencheng."
Yue Tuo, who was awarded the title of Prince Heshuosu, reciprocated the favor and said: "The First Khan valued the Han officials when he was there. Mr. Wen Cheng also made great contributions to our great fortune. I think it is not an exaggeration to confer Mr. Wen Cheng a king."
Fan Wencheng, who was ranked last, had a humble look on his face and waved his hands repeatedly: "Absolutely not. The Kingdom of Jin rewards military merit. How can you, a scholar like Wencheng, usurp such a high position? Don't kill me."
Jierhalang said with a smile: "Then let Mr. Wen Cheng lead the Han army flag and strengthen the mountains and foreheads for the Han army flag."
Fan Wencheng still shook his head and said: "Gushan Ezhen is also a military position, and Wencheng is not qualified for it."
Hauge smiled: "Mr. Wencheng is the brother-in-law of me and Xianhan. I can't leave him for a moment. I have already made arrangements for Mr. Wencheng. This time of change, there will be some changes in the official position. I decided to set up three
Courts: The first is the Academy of National History, the second is the Internal Secretary Academy, and the third is the Inner Hongwen Academy. The Academy of National History is responsible for recording my daily life, edicts, keeping imperial texts, compiling historical annals, and recording historical records. From now on, every move I make will be recorded.
Everything will be recorded by the Academy of National History, and I will not be free from now on. That’s fine, lest I act recklessly and degenerate into a coward, this academy will be in charge of my first Jurchen scholar, Gang Lin, who will still be called a great scholar. The inner secretary academy will be in charge.
Write foreign documents, register memorials to various yamen and my decrees. Mr. Wen Cheng and Bao Chengxian are respectively appointed as bachelors of the Neihong Academy of Secretaries. The Neihong Academy of Literature is responsible for explaining the classics of the past dynasties, their rise and fall, and the issuance system. Xifu is the head of the University of Neihong Academy
scholar.
After everyone pondered over the division of labor among the three chambers, they realized the importance of Fan Wencheng's position. From now on, the memorials reported to the Khan by the kings, belles, and ministers must go to the Emperor through the Chamber of Secretaries, and the emperor's edicts must pass through the Chamber of Secretaries.
Down to all the yamen, he was simply the prime minister with one person under his command and more than ten thousand people. For a while, everyone looked at Fan Wencheng with admiration.
Jirharang expressed his position: "No one other than Mr. Wen Cheng can take on the important responsibilities of the Secretariat."
After the death of Dorgon and Azig, Duduo openly expressed his surrender to Hauge, but in his heart he was extremely dissatisfied with Hauge. However, Hauge had two yellow flags to help him and swallowed up Dorgon's
Zhengbai Qi, Jierharang didn't know what kind of drug was fed by Haug, and he supported Haug wholeheartedly. Dege was half-dead and timid by nature. Yue Tuo and Saha Lian didn't move. He was the only one with a white flag.
Qi would never dare to act rashly. Therefore, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction with Hauge in his heart to avoid giving Hauge an excuse to take action on him.
It doesn't matter how many times he is given the title of Prince Heshuoyu, but when he hears Jierharang and Hauge singing and singing, then Fan Wencheng still wants to be the prime minister of Daijin, and he feels as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, and he can't help it.
He sarcastically said: "Then Mr. Wen Cheng will be the prime minister of our Kingdom of Jin from now on, but I don't know if Mr. Wen Cheng can support a boat."
After hearing this, Hauge's face turned cold, and Jierhalang also looked a little ugly. But Fan Wencheng smiled calmly and said: "Prince Yu is joking, I am just an ordinary person, and I can't support the boat in my stomach, but I am facing the emperor."
But he worked hard."
After hearing these subtle words, Duo Yi couldn't help but snort, but he didn't dare to say anything else.
Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Jierharang hurriedly winked at Bao Chengxian. Bao Chengxian immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Hauge waved his hand and said, "Sir, I'm asking for leave. I'm here to listen."
"I was born and raised in the Central Plains. There are wine shops and teahouses in the cities of the Central Plains and large gatherings in the countryside. There are storytellers and singers in these places. After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, I don't know who or when I wrote a book called "
"Speaking of Yue Pinghua", as soon as this book was published, it quickly spread in urban and rural areas. Yue Fei in the book was said to be a hero who fought against the Jin Dynasty, while the Jin soldiers in the book were slandered as demons who committed adultery and plunder. This book is almost a household name.
The influence was very wide, so the Han people regarded Jin people as robbers and tigers and wolves, and their hatred of Jin was very serious. This time when the Yuan Dynasty was changed, I thought that the name of the country should be changed to offset the Han people's hatred of Jin."
The change of the country's name had been planned two years ago, but not many people knew about it. Now that everything is ready, it will be officially implemented.
Hauge pretended to agree and said to Bao Chengxian: "What Chengxian said is reasonable and should be changed. In fact, although we and Wanyan Aguda are both Jurchens, they are not from the same branch. The Aixinjueluo family originated from
In Burhuli Lake, Changbai Mountain, our ancestor is Bukuli Yongshun, who was born of three fairies from heaven. At that time, Manchukuo was established in the area of the three surnames. The Manchus we usually call are the people of Manchukuo. If we change
, just change it more thoroughly. Gang Lin, you have to write it down."
"I will remember this," Gang Lin responded.
Hauge added: "From now on, all external names of our clan will be changed to Manchuria, and the Jurchen name will no longer be used. Xifu, you will issue an edict to the world tomorrow."
Xifu also hurriedly took notes.
"As for the national title, Mr. Wencheng, come and talk about it." Hauge nodded at Fan Wencheng.
Fan Wencheng had a well-thought-out idea: "In recent years, I have translated Chinese classics and found that the Chinese characters "金" and "Qing" have the same pronunciation in Mandarin. At that time, I was moved. According to the theory of the Five Elements, the character "Song" in the Song Dynasty means "residence". "Shuowen"
"Jiezi" says that the Song Dynasty is a deep house, a wooden house, and the Song Dynasty uses wood as its foundation. Wanyan Agu defeated the founding Jin Dynasty, and metal defeated wood, so Jin destroyed the Song Dynasty.
The old Khan regarded gold as his country. It was the Year of the Dragon in Bingchen. When the golden dragon was born, it must have the potential to soar and rise, but in the end it contained an ominous sign. The light was fire, and fire defeated gold, so it was difficult for the old Khan to stay in peace. Today I want to
When the Yuan Dynasty was changed, I thought that the name of the country should be Qing. Although Qing and Jin have the same pronunciation, the Chinese characters have different meanings. Qing, the Chinese character means the clarity of water, which dominates water. Water restrains fire, and Qing also has the meaning of jade to clarify, clarifying the four seas. This year
It is the year of Bingzi, and the five elements live in water. If the country is named Qing Dynasty, it will definitely be clear."
As soon as he finished speaking, it was Jierhalang who was the first to applaud: "What a great Fan Wencheng. If you are so knowledgeable, you are the best person in the Qing Dynasty."
Hauge kept nodding his head: "As expected of a great scholar, the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty. If Yuyu clarifies, it will be changed to the Qing Dynasty."
None of the Baylor ministers dared to say anything bad, and there was a chorus of praise at the moment.
Saha Lian, who single-handedly drafted the regulations and ceremonies for the reform of the Jin Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, said: "Mr. Wen Cheng does not allow the Han army flag to be authentic. Someone must lead the Han army flag. Li Yongfang is also a Manchu and a Han. He has made great contributions to our Manchuria. I recommend it."
Li Yongfang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Han military flag, Ezhen."
Jierhalang shook his head and said: "Li Yongfang is old, so it is better to let his eldest son Li Lhitai lead the Han army flag."
"Very good." Hauge had no objection.
Saha Lian added: "Since the Jin Dynasty was changed to the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the Jurchens were renamed Manzhou, and the emperor also granted the title of six kings of Manzhou, I wonder if we can also grant a king to the Han people. I think Li Yongfang can be crowned king.
Lord."
"Since Li Yongfang returned to the Qing Dynasty, he has played an important role in establishing the Ding Ding. In the battle of Sarhu, he proposed to the old Khan that he could come in any number of ways, and I would only go one way. This laid the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. The request for the title of king,
I'm sure. Well, I will make Li Yongfang the King of Obedience, and he will be hereditary and will not be replaced."
"Since Li Yongfang has been made king, will Mongolia also want to make it king?"
"Mongolia is more important than the Han people to the Qing Dynasty. I think it is better to confer the title of three Mongolian kings. I intend to designate Ezhe as Prince Heshuo, ranking first among the Mongolian kings. After all, he is the core figure of the Mongolian tribes. The Horqin tribe surrenders
The earliest and most meritorious, I intend to name Badali, the son of Oba, as the Prince of Heshuo Tuxietu, and Horqin Beile Wu Keshan as the Prince of Heshuo Zhuoli Ketu. Other Mongolian tribes, or princes or beile can do it."
All the Baylor families have Mongolian Horqin Fujin, so they have no objection to the title of Mongolian prince.
Man Dahai, the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites, asked: "King Khan, would you like to invite North Korea to the enthronement ceremony?"
"Please, of course please."
As soon as North Korea was mentioned, Minister Beile shouted: "North Korea is becoming more and more wanton. After Shi Dayong occupied Lushun and Pidao, North Korea no longer obeyed the Qing Dynasty. Instead, it cooperated with the Ming army and continues to supply Pidao."
The Ming Dynasty's army is getting more and more arrogant towards the envoys we sent, so we should teach them a lesson."
Namutai, the Minister of Zhenghuang Banner in the Ministry of Household Affairs, also said: "Your Majesty, North Korea's tribute is also decreasing year by year, and now it is less than one-tenth of the stipulation. They are only perfunctory with our country, but they are completely devoted to the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty is conquered in the future,
It’s still a pain in the belly and back.”
Yue Tuo said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead an army of 20,000 people to defeat North Korea in one fell swoop, and capture Li Jie alive and present it to the Emperor."
Hauge said: "This Li Jian is really stupid. He saw that our Qing Dynasty suffered a loss from the Ming Dynasty and got dissatisfied. Huh, but I don't want to add troops easily. The strength of our Qing Dynasty's troops is enough to deter them. So I sent troops."
I thought it would be better to force him to surrender. Ying Erdai was familiar with Korean affairs, so he ordered him to go to Korea as an envoy. This mission was no more than usual. The number of the envoy was to be increased, to 500 people, and to create a large number of people.
This kind of momentum should make them understand the situation clearly, completely cut off all contact with the Ming Dynasty, serve their brothers sincerely, and not be stubborn."
However, what Hauge never expected was that twenty days later, Ying'erdai and his party escaped from North Korea in a very embarrassed manner. Ying'erdai was a veteran who defected to Nurhachi during the Tianming period and was a brave general under the Zhenghuang banner. Now
Kneeling on the ground, he burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have disgraced my mission. Please punish me for being a slave."
Haug said angrily: "Don't cry, what happened? Tell me quickly."
"When the monarchs and ministers of North Korea heard that the emperor wanted to change the Yuan Dynasty and proclaim himself emperor, the whole court was opposed to it. Some young generals cursed in front of the slaves. One of them, Yutang, made extremely vicious remarks that were almost unbearable."
At this point, Ying Erdai stopped. It seemed that some words were difficult to say.
Hauge asked: "What are they scolding?"
"They... they... they called the emperor a clown, a clown who only pretends to be a clown."
After hearing this, Hauge was furious: "Okay, don't learn anymore, what happens next?"
"That afternoon, some young generals sent troops to surround our post house. Thanks to Park Dongshan's efforts to deal with it. He told us that these young generals wanted to kill us, and then sent our heads and a letter from King Li Zhu to The Emperor Pu Dongshan advised us to return home as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected events. We asked to see King Li Zhu, but he refused to show up. The servants had no choice but to return without success. Unexpectedly, as soon as we left the post house, some imperial students were recruited by the main war faction. They instigated us and threw rocks, vegetable leaves, and even feces on us. I wanted to fight them, but when I thought about it, if I died in a foreign country, there wouldn't even be anyone to report the news, so I had no choice but to After enduring humiliation and returning, King Khan..." Ying Erdai couldn't talk anymore and burst into tears.
All the Baylors were furious, and Saharian shouted: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my elite troops to conquer Korea and avenge this great humiliation."
Yue Xun also said: "What a shame, what a shame! What a shame! Even the Ming Dynasty dared not treat our envoys like this, but North Korea is such a bastard and destroyed them!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Destroy them!"
Hauge was so angry that his face turned purple and he punched the imperial court. He was about to order the conquest of North Korea, but found that Fan Wencheng had been silent. Could it be that Mr. Wencheng did not agree to the conquest of North Korea?
Hauge calmed down and asked Fan Wencheng: "Mr. Wencheng, what do you mean?"
Fan Wencheng said: "I think that the monarchs and ministers of North Korea are a bunch of stupid rabble, and they are not worthy of the anger of the emperor and the princes. Although Li Zhu was foolishly loyal to the Ming Dynasty, his country was a small country and could easily be destroyed. Er. The most important thing right now is to complete the enthronement ceremony. Besides, now is not the best time to use troops against North Korea. The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. Although the Yalu River is not wide, it is quite troublesome for the army to cross it. It is better to wait until the river is closed. Let’s talk about it later.”
Hauge thought for a moment: "Mr. Wen is right. The grand ceremony is coming soon. It is not appropriate to start a fight. Let's swallow this bad breath first. This revenge must be avenged. They threw excrement on our envoys. I will let them Eat shit. Anyone who insults my envoys will die without a burial place."
