Chapter 478: Hauge Proclaims Emperor, Second Entry II
Hauge's enthronement ceremony was scheduled to be held on the eighth day of February. After February, all the Mongolian tribes in southern Mongolia and the three northern Mongolian tribes arrived as scheduled. On the sixth day of the lunar month, North Korea also sent two envoys, saying they were coming. While watching the ceremony, he was quite disdainful of Hauge's enthronement and proclaimed himself emperor, and he did not kneel when he went to the palace.
Hauge originally wanted to capture the two North Korean envoys, but was blocked by Fan Wencheng, who said that no matter how the North Korean monarchs and ministers viewed the change of Jin Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor had to endure it first. After all, North Korea had signed a treaty with Xianhan, and they were brothers. In terms of seniority in the country, the North Korean king Li Jian is Hauge's uncle. The uncle is unreasonable, and this nephew cannot and is unreasonable. Furthermore, after the Yuan Dynasty is changed, the Ming Dynasty will be attacked. At this time, North Korea cannot be evil. Wait until the Ming Dynasty is dealt with. After Korea, what else can the small country of North Korea do to cause trouble?
After Hauge succeeded to the throne, he changed his previous attitude of looking down on Han officials and favored the Han officials left to him by his father. He was even more favored than when Mrs. Hong was still there. This quickly won him the support of the Han officials. , received strong support from Han officials in the subsequent political purges, and it was Han officials who advocated Jin Jin and proclaimed himself emperor. Under the guidance of Han officials, Shenyang was burned, and the shadow of Hong Tai's death dissipated within two or three years. This makes Hauge more effective in his position.
After Ning Wanwo's death, Fan Wencheng became the chief official of the Han Dynasty. Many generals in the Han army banner also had good relations with him, hoping that he could fight for the interests of the Han army in the court. To a certain extent, Fan Wencheng was not only Hauge's most powerful general. A good imperial teacher was the spokesperson of the Han people in the Later Jin regime. His political status and actual power were much higher than those of Hong Taishi. When Hauge officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Fan Wencheng became the de facto prime minister of the Qing Dynasty. .
Hauge also treated Fan Wencheng sincerely as an emperor's master. The last words Hong Tai left to him before his death were "Ask Wencheng when encountering problems." With such last words, Hauge would naturally not abandon Fan Wencheng. In the past three years, Fan Wencheng also proved his ability with his actual actions.
Under the auspices of Fan Wencheng, the city of Shenyang was rebuilt. Although the scale was much worse than before it was burned down, at least the Khan's Palace, the six yamen, and the major Baylor yamen were erected again. With these buildings, Shenyang slowly recovered as a capital city. the breath.
In order to enrich the population of Shenyang, Fan Wencheng suggested that Hauge move half of the Han people enslaved by each banner to Shenyang, and also evacuate the Baozi of the Eight Banners who were originally scattered in various places, so that the population of Shenyang City returned to half of the pre-war level, and the total number of Han people also increased. It reached 60,000.
In addition, in order to solve the food shortage crisis caused by the Ming army's massive plunder of southern Liaoning and Shenyang to the Hou Jin regime, Fan Wencheng suggested that Hauge continue to ask for food from North Korea on the one hand, and purchase cattle pens from Mongolia on the other hand to alleviate the famine.
The fields around Shenyang were cultivated as long as they could be cultivated. In addition, a batch of grain was secretly purchased from Datong through merchants from Shanxi in the Ming Dynasty. Through several pronged measures, the Eight Banners finally survived the great famine in the first year of Chongde.
Because the Ming army massacred the women and children of the Eight Banners in Shenyang City, the population of Manchuria plummeted, and it was difficult for new babies to be born. In the long run, the Eight Banners would also perish. Fan Wencheng then suggested that Hauge send Yue Tuo and Duo Yi to the north of Laozhai. They captured Jurchens in the deep mountains and old forests, and also ordered General Ah Shan to clear grass and valleys on the border of North Korea and plunder Koreans. More than 40,000 people were captured and distributed to various banners, making the Eight Banners more capable of fighting than during the Tiancong period. Much more.
Fan Wencheng also suggested that Hauge marry Mongolian women for his Eight Banners soldiers who lost their wives and children. If they could exchange them with Manchu women, they could exchange them with Manchu women. If they couldn't, they should redeem them with gold and silver as much as possible. In order to solve the financial problem of Houjin, Fan Wencheng
He even suggested that Hauge secretly excavate the Yongling Tomb and take out the gold and silver jewelry buried in the mausoleum during the Nurhaci period. Half of it would be used to restore national strength, and the other half would be used to buy goods that were in short supply of gold and silver.
Hauge really didn't want to dig the graves of his ancestors. He was afraid that he would be spurned by the Eight Banners, but Fan Wencheng insisted, saying that Dajin had no more gold and silver to use, so the gold and silver buried in Yongling would be of little use if buried underground.
No, it's better to dig it out to ease the country's situation. If our ancestors knew about it underground, they would understand the helplessness of future generations. Besides, it's not like we dig it out in the open, we only choose trusted people to go secretly, and wait for Dajin to recover.
The national strength will be doubled again.
Under Fan Wencheng's instigation, Hauge actually sent people to dig the ancestral graves. Of course, the action was not as big as the Ming army in Fuling. They only secretly excavated the underground palace, moved out the gold, silver and jewelry and sealed it immediately. Therefore
Everyone in the Eight Banners was kept in the dark.
With the gold and silver moved from Yongling, and with the help of Fan Wencheng and others, Hou Jin's vitality finally recovered slowly. Although he lost his wife and children, life must pass, and this revenge must be avenged.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Eight Banners who lost their wives and children did not object to the gathering of Mongolian women. In the two years before and after, more than 30,000 women were married to Houjin from various Mongolian tribes, adding more than 20,000 new Manchu people to the population.
The influx of so many Mongolian women made the Mongolian tribes have more and more influence on the Hou Jin regime. This is why Hauge wanted to confer the title of three Mongolian princes. He really needed the support of the Mongols.
Now Fan Wencheng asked Hauge not to offend the two envoys and allow them to watch the ceremony. Although Hauge was still unhappy, he still accepted Fan Wencheng's opinion and temporarily swallowed his bad breath until he defeated the Ming Dynasty in the future.
After avenging my father Khan, I will settle the accounts with the Koreans!
.............
After everything was prepared, on February 8th, Hauge, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe that had been made by the harem, and surrounded by officials, went to the Temple of Heaven outside Desheng Gate to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.
The Temple of Heaven was built in a hurry just last month, and its scale is definitely not comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty. It’s not that Hauge didn’t want to build the Temple of Heaven better, but the big trees near Shenyang were cut down to build the Khan’s Palace and the Six Ministries.
There was really no good material to build the Temple of Heaven, so we had to make do with it.
Seeing the Temple of Heaven made of earth, Hauge couldn't help but frown, but he immediately relaxed and calmly went up to the Temple of Heaven and began to worship the heaven.
There is an incense table covered with yellow silk satin on the altar of heaven, with the throne of the emperor of heaven on it. Cows, sheep and pigs are worshiped side by side. The huge incense burner is filled with finely sifted soil.
The Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Han military flags were placed all around the altar. They were colorful and rolled up in the wind. Hauge turned around and took a look around, and saw that Minister Baylor and hundreds of officials were lined up on both sides of the Temple of Heaven in east and west, and several layers of Eight Banners soldiers were arranged outside.

Arranged. Two Korean envoys wearing foreign costumes were also mixed in, which looked particularly dazzling.
Qin Tian monitored that the auspicious time had arrived, and immediately it was full. Two guides from the Han Dynasty came to Hauge, led him to the altar, climbed the steps, and stood facing the throne of the Emperor of Heaven.
The salute officer shouted: "Offer incense!"
Hauge knelt down in front of the case, took the incense from the hand of the usher, and chanted it three times. Then, he respectfully placed the silk and the jue filled with wine on the incense case. After the offering was completed, he read the congratulatory officer and went to the altar with the congratulatory message in his hand. He knelt down facing the northwest and recited the blessing aloud. The text said: "On the eleventh day of the fourth month of the year Bingzi, the Emperor of Manchukuo, Chen Haoge, dared to tell the emperor and the queen of the earth that: I bow with my bow, and I will succeed to the throne." since......"
