Chapter five hundred and forty-four the founding of the Qing Dynasty
"If you don't kneel down, where will the Qing Dynasty leave us? Aren't you afraid of being cut to pieces by a thousand swords? Isn't North Korea afraid of the mighty soldiers of the Qing Dynasty coming to conquer it?" Dorgon loudly rebuked the North Korean envoys.
Although the envoy from North Korea was trembling with fear, he still stood and did not kneel. You must know that before coming to congratulate him, the King and Regent of North Korea gave the envoy numerous warnings and never told the Qing Dynasty.
Kneel down because North Korea still wants to maintain its status as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
If this envoy disobeys his etiquette, he will be exterminated. And now the worst result is that he will be killed by barbarians like Hou Jin, so it is the lesser of two evils, so that the envoy can still support
Standing naked.
Seeing that the North Korean envoy was still standing, the civil and military officials of Hou Jin Dynasty all looked at Huang Taiji, waiting for his instructions. But although Huang Taiji's face was ashen, he finally waved his hand and said: "Drive him off!"
"
In the eighth year of Chongzhen (the ninth year of Tiancong), Huang Taiji sent Dorgon, Yue Tuo and others to collect Erke Kongguo Erzhe, the son of Lin Dan Khan, and his tribe. Dorgon unexpectedly obtained the title of Yuan Dynasty
The imperial seal was passed on. After that, the ministers of Beile requested to be given the title of Huang Taiji on the grounds that people from far away were surrendering and the country was growing, but they were not allowed.
In fact, regarding this "unapproval", those who are familiar with history will definitely know this trick. It is nothing more than asking those Baylor ministers to repeat it several times to show that Huang Taiji is reluctant to accept the title. Anyway, ancient emperors like to play this trick.
Sure enough, later Saharian asked Zhu Beile to review the past and express his loyalty and service in the future. So Huang Taiji agreed to consider it. Then Huang Taiji used the title of "Zhao Zhengzun" to consult the Han officials and Confucian officials for their opinions. Bao Chengxian, Ning Wanme,
Fan Wencheng, Luo Xiujin and others all agreed.
Sahalian also summoned all the Baylors to write an oath and pledge allegiance to Huang Taiji. After hearing the news, the Baylors of the "outer vassals" also requested to be given the title, and Huang Taiji finally agreed. Preparatory activities for the title lasted until the third year of the ninth year of Chongzhen (the tenth year of Tiancong).
It will be almost ready by the end of the month.
On April 5th of the ninth year of Chongzhen (the first year of Chongde), Manchurian Baylor, Gushan Ezhen, and Mongolian Bagoshan Ezhen. Ministers of the six ministries, Kong, Geng, Shang, Mongolian Baylor of foreign vassals, and Manchu, Mongolian, and Han civil and military officials gathered together
Dorgon held up a list of Manchu characters, Bada held a list of Mongolian characters, and Kong Youde held a list of Chinese characters. They led all the civil and military officials from Baylor to the palace gate and knelt down.
What followed was a series of complicated ceremonial activities. Then it was decided to choose an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony on April 11th. At that time, he would formally pay tribute to heaven and earth, receive the title of "Kuan Wen Ren Sheng Emperor", and the founding name of the Qing Dynasty. From then on, the Qing Dynasty worthy of the name in Chinese history was born.
Huang Taiji ordered everyone in the country to call Manchu by its original name, and prohibited people from calling them Zhushen. As a result, a Manchu nationality that was little known to the world expanded into a world-famous and important member of the Chinese nation.
Huang Taiji's proclaiming himself emperor and establishing a country not only showed his ambition to be on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty, but also played an extremely important role in the improvement of the Later Jin regime.
The first is to completely abolish the status of the four major Baylors in post-Jin Dynasty and increase the centralization of power in Huang Taiji.
After Huang Taiji came to the throne, he abolished the system of monthly division of the three major bele, weakened the privileges of the bele, and allowed the officials appointed by himself to play a greater role. He changed the aristocratic political discussion system of the Later Jin Dynasty into the arbitrary one of Huang Taiji
The official appointment system. When no one could compete with him, he ascended the throne of the emperor.
For this reason, Huang Taiji also vigorously punished those who challenged his authority. For example, half a year before he became emperor, Daishan and Princess Hada despised him. Huang Taiji was so angry that he summoned all the Baylor ministers and asked them to
They "don't elect a powerful person to be the king." They only came to the court to listen to the government because of their kneeling.
For other behaviors that neglected Huang Taiji, he also imposed penalties such as deprivation of Niu Lu and reduction of titles. By the time of Chongde, no nobles of the Houjin Dynasty would dare to challenge Huang Taiji's authority.
Among them, Dorgon did the best. His attitude towards Huang Taiji was extremely respectful, and he never dared to lose his etiquette. In the end, Dorgon's status rose steadily, and he gradually rose to the rank of second-largest among the Manchu nobles.
Yu Huang Taiji's status.
Of course, Huang Taiji knew that Dorgon was the most threatening figure to his lineage, but he still awarded Dorgon a reward. From this, it can be seen that Huang Taiji is a very mature politician. Everything is handled correctly.
Instead of following their own likes and dislikes, they followed the rules. Of course, Huang Taiji's maturity brought great blessings to the directors of later film and television dramas, because the story of Dorgon and Dayu'er gave them great, great
, a huge space for imagination.
Secondly, the Manchu Qing Dynasty established a complete national political system.
Although there was no name for the cabinet before the Manchu Qing entered the country, the Qing Dynasty under the rule of Huang Taiji had begun to form the inner three academies with the nature of a cabinet. Although the officeholders were all bachelors and bachelors, the division of labor was clearer, and some were responsible for compiling examinations.
In history, some drafted edicts and annotated the gains and losses of ancient and modern political affairs, and some gave lectures to the emperor. After Chongde, the bachelors and bachelors of the Third Academy of the Inner Academy had a greater influence on Huang Taiji's decision-making.
In addition, corresponding reforms and further improvements were made in the institutional settings. Huang Taiji adjusted the institution of the Council of King and Ministers for Council on Government. From then on, the Council of King and Ministers for Council on Government had a fixed program and became a tool of communist imperial power.
.
Huang Taiji also established the Metropolitan Procuratorate, giving them the power to inspect all officials. The Mongolian Yamen that were once established to handle Mongolian affairs were now changed to the Lifan Yuan. Together with the original six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate formed the famous Eight Yamen
.
Huang Taiji changed the official system of eight yamen. Each yamen only has one Manchu official in charge, and the following officials include left and right officials, directors, deputy directors, principals, etc., from the second class to the fifth class. This strengthened the rule of the country headed by him.
that power.
The third is to improve the Qing military system.
Huang Taiji's rule also continued to make use of the Eight Banners, a military-political organization. He made the Eight Banners more dynamic through reforms. A large part of the power of the Eight Banners' leaders was gradually deprived of by Huang Taiji.
To this end, Huang Taiji took two important steps:
The first is to continuously add new members to the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Huang Taiji used troops many times in Heilongjiang and other places, bringing a large number of ethnic minorities to join the Manchu community, which was called "Iche Manchuria", that is, New Manchuria. Huang Taiji incorporated New Manchuria into
Eight Banners. Since most of these ethnic minorities were in the era of fishing and hunting clans, they still retained a strong wild nature, so they quickly became the main force of the Manchu army.
The second was to improve and expand the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army. In particular, the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were directly commanded by Huang Taiji, which in turn enhanced Huang Taiji's military status among the Manchus.
This expansion of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army not only strengthened the armed forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also implemented a deeper level of control over the vast majority of the people of Manchu, Mongolia and Han. Especially in order to seize the power to rule the whole of China, Huang Taiji
The establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Army is of great significance.
The fourth is the improvement of internal affairs.
In order to make the country rule for a long time, although Huang Taiji did not change the methods of plundering wealth, he paid more attention to the development of production in the region. After he became emperor, he immediately made the protection of land and livestock a code of law. From then on, he made it an important task to supervise farming almost every year.
activities, repeatedly emphasizing the improvement of agricultural production.
Therefore, after that, the Manchus were not short of food, which was inseparable from this effort. Moreover, the Manchus' handicraft production also made great progress, and in addition, a large number of Ming Dynasty craftsmen were captured and plundered, so the Manchus
The production of military equipment, farm tools and household utensils has also been greatly improved. Therefore, the Manchus gradually became self-sufficient. Of course, being able to do it does not mean knowing how to do it. The nature of the Manchus to plunder is
It won't change.
In addition, Huang Taiji also vigorously developed commercial trade, both within the territory and with the Ming and North Korea. In this kind of trade activities, the eight Shanxi merchants developed rapidly. They continuously provided the Manchu and Qing Dynasties with "
"blood transfusion", and informed the Manchus about the Ming Dynasty in the pass. The eight Shanxi merchants all became despicable traitors for the sake of wealth.
Moreover, Huang Taiji's ethnic policies were also good. Under his rule, although there were no more resistance incidents such as the killing of large numbers of Han people, poisoning, robbery and killing by Han people, Huang Taiji still paid attention to easing the Qing society.
Contradictory. He ordered his ministers to do a good job in "nurturing people", especially the resettlement of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han people who were newly plundered or surrendered.
Huang Taiji even ordered that all the Ming Dynasty edicts previously accepted by Hada, Yehe, Ula, Huifa and Mongolia tribes should be collected and burned. This showed that from now on they were all subjects of the Qing Dynasty and could no longer have any illusions about the Ming Dynasty.
.
It should be said that in the history of ancient China, the Manchu Qing ethnic policy originated from Huang Taiji was one of the better ones, and many ethnic policies have even been used in modern times. But as a digression, in any case, it was ruled by aliens
, a big braid hanging on the back of the head, which always makes the author feel very disgusted.
Finally, Huang Taiji formulated a strategy for the Manchus to conquer the world.
Huang Taiji's vision will be divided into three steps: the first step is to unify the Northeast; the second step is to expand to the north of the Yellow River; the third step is to rule the whole of China. At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has actually moved from the first step to the third step.
Two steps passed.
From here we can see that in fact, during World War II, the Japanese army's strategy of invading China was surprisingly similar to Huang Taiji. It was only at the Marco Polo Bridge that the Chinese ** troops began to rise up to resist, triggering a full-scale war of resistance.
We can also find that everything Huang Taiji did is quite similar to what Wu Shigong did in the Runing Army. Wu Shigong was also a time traveler, and he was able to learn a lot of knowledge from modern education and information. And Huang Taiji
Tai Chi can actually rival or surpass Wu Shigong, who has two or three hundred years more knowledge. This makes people sigh: Huang Tai Chi is really a talented person! (To be continued...)
