"Wu Sangui was named King of Guizhou, Kong Youde was King of Hunan, Geng Zhongming was King of Guangxi, Shang Zhixin was named King of Guangdong, Zheng Zhilong was King of Fujian, Jin Shenghuan was King of Jiangxi, Zhang Xianzhong was King of Yunnan, Li Guo was King of Badong, He Zhen was King of Hanzhong, and Wu Dading was named King of Gansu."
Beijing.
A meeting of the Council of State Councilors and Ministers was held in the Forbidden City. Prince Baylor of the Eight Banners, Gushan Ezhen of each banner, ministers of State Councilors, Grand Scholars of the Third Academy of the Inner Mongolia, six ministers, guards, and other people with the title of Councilor of Councilors in Beijing all came.
The atmosphere at the meeting was tense.
A number of anti-Dorgon forces, including the Regent Uncle Zheng, Prince Jierhalang, Prince Heshuoli Daishan, and Prince Heshuosu Hauge, have formed an alliance with an aggressive intent to launch an attack at today's meeting.
But what no one expected was that King Dorgon of Ama would launch such a big move as soon as he came up, and he would enfeoff ten kings and establish a vassal state at once.
Before anyone could react, Dorgon continued, "Wu Weihua, the obedient marquis, was granted the title of King of Ningxia, Duke Shen Zhixiang, the Duke of Sushun, was granted the title of King of Qinghai, and Wang Guangen was granted the title of King of Yunyang."
Then, Hong Chengchou, Yan Wogong, Zu Dashou, Zu Kefa, Wu Sanfeng, Zu Dalue, Zu Zeyuan, Zu Kefa, Zu Dabi, Shi Tingzhu, Jin Li, Sun Dingliao, Zuo Mengeng, Xu Dingguo, Tu Guobao
, Li Yuchun, Zheng Jiwu, Zhu Gangda, Zhang Tianlu and other thirty-six Han Chinese civil and military ministers were granted the title of duke and marquis, and were awarded the positions of hereditary governor, admiral, and commander-in-chief.
For example, King Wu Sangui of Pingxi was granted the title of King of Guizhou, hereditary Yongzhen, and his descendants inherited the throne. Then the court appointed Zuo Menggeng hereditary Governor of Guizhou, Zhang Tianlu hereditary Admiral of Guizhou, etc.
As a veteran of three dynasties, Jierhalang was shocked by this series of amazing proposals.
This lucky king of the Qing Dynasty couldn't understand Dorgon's mysterious operation.
In this one breath, thirteen kings and thirty-six princes were enfeoffed, and Gansu, Ningxia, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Fujian, Badong, Hanzhong, Yunyang, Qinghai and other places were all enfeoffed. Then this
Are you planning to give up on these places completely?
Then the Qing court retained the north, straight, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Huainan, Jiangnan, Zhejiang and Guanwai?
Does this mean admitting failure?
Jirhalang tried his best to suppress himself and did not rush to stand up to oppose. This prince who was raised in the palace by his uncle Nurhaci since he was a child, and who grew up with great military exploits and who grew up with Huang Taiji, is very cautious.
I felt that things were too sudden and unexpected, and I always felt that there was a pitfall in it.
He had experienced the Jurchen civil strife along the way. His father Shuerhaqi was very ambitious and refused to be subordinated to his brother Nurhaci. He took the initiative to seek refuge with Li Chengliang and wanted to use the power of the Ming army in Liaodong to establish his own family. As a result, Li Chengliang was old and the Ming Dynasty was unable to survive outside the customs.
He gave Shurhaqi too much support, and in the end, Shurhaqi was defeated and was imprisoned by Nurhaci until his death.
When his father died, Jierhalang was only twelve years old and did not dare to shed even one more tear.
Later, he saw with his own eyes that Nurhachi's eldest son Xuying, who had grown up with him, was reluctantly executed by Nurhachi for offending the five ministers.
Relying on forbearance and daring to fight, Jierhalang won the favor of his uncle and became one of the eight Heshuo Baylors. His brother Amin also became one of the four Baylors. He holds the powerful blue team and is powerful.
.
However, after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he still found an opportunity to accuse Amin of abandoning the city and summoned Baylor to discuss the crime. In the end, in addition to the crime of abandoning the four cities, he also added the crime of having different ambitions and seeking independence in North Korea.
He was sentenced to death for his crime, and was eventually imprisoned until his death. One of his six sons was executed.
In this matter, Jierhalang did not save his brother, but stood on the side of Huang Taiji. He watched his brother Amin and his other brothers Al'atong and Zasak
Tu and others also fell into the internal fighting among the Jurchens.
Jierhalang has always acted as Huang Taiji's die-hard brother. Although he is a cousin, he behaves more like Huang Taiji's real brother than Dorgon, Azige, Duduo and other real brothers.
He was responsible for guarding the rear during Huang Taiji's many expeditions.
He also led troops to conquer Korea, Mongolia, and the Ming Dynasty several times.
Huang Taiji wanted to attack several major Baylors and get rid of the situation of Baylor co-governance, so Jierhalang proposed to reuse Han officials and form the Eight Banners of the Han Army to check and balance the Manchu nobles and strengthen the monarch's power.
Jierhalang helped to deal with his eldest brother Amin and Mang Gurtai, made Daishan surrender honestly, and created conflicts among the three Dorgon brothers.
Huang Taiji died suddenly, and Jierhalang and Daishan supported Hauge to succeed him. Unfortunately, Hauge's stupidity led to a big mistake, and Ying Fulin had to succeed to the throne.
But after Dorgon came to power, he retaliated against Jierhalang and took the opportunity to take away his position as prince. Although it was quickly restored, Dorgon was already a huge threat to Jierhalang.
A threat, especially since he's so young.
Once Dorgon succeeds in seizing the throne, he and his descendants will be able to escape according to the cruel practice of Jurchen internal strife.
But after all, he was a veteran of three dynasties. He had experienced so many great storms, and he always had a plan before taking action. He was carefully considering what Dorgon's intention was for suddenly launching such an amazing plan.
On the other side, Daishan, one of the former four Baylors, did not make any move, obviously feeling that this incident was too sudden.
On the contrary, the young and vigorous Prince Su, Hauge, was still as impulsive as ever. When he saw Dorgon raising this proposal, he stood up and loudly rebuked Dorgon for being confused and scolded this man who was more powerful than himself.
The young uncle was mad.
He said that he would cede half of the Qing Dynasty to the Han people and others.
The court discussion became lively for a while.
After Hauge took the lead in the attack, some supporters of the Two Yellow Flags such as Obai and Sony also immediately stood up to oppose it, thinking it was too shocking.
Even Azig and Dodo thought this happened too suddenly.
a long time.
Daishan finally spoke, "What does the regent mean by this? Can you tell me in detail? Although the situation in the south is not going well now, it is not that bad, right? Our Eight Banners are brave and capable of fighting, and we can sweep through invincibly. Even if the Ming army is temporarily
We have the upper hand, but as long as the regent agrees to send the clan king to lead the Manchu and Mongolian elite main force southward, we will definitely be able to destroy the enemy in one battle, so why should we take the initiative to admit defeat in such a way to destroy our own prestige and lose our morale?"
Ji'erharang also said at this time that victory or defeat was a common matter for military strategists. Just pick a few people in this palace and they could lead the troops to conquer the south and defeat the Ming army. There was no reason to abandon the southern provinces directly.
Furthermore, the enfeoffment of Yongzhen was too contrary to the ancestral system.
Even the ancestral system was moved out, which shows that they are indeed very opposed to it.
In fact, as soon as Dorgun's proposal came out, not a single Manchu prince or minister supported it.
Why did the Han people surrender their ministers and generals, confer kings and vassals, and grant dukes and marquises?
Are they, the Eight Banners Princes and Belles, inferior to these Han people?
Even though the imperial court had granted four Han princes titles in the past, it was under relatively special circumstances. Moreover, they only granted them a small area of land and allocated some household registrations. The treatment was basically the same as that of the princes of the Eight Banners, and even
Far worse.
But now it is necessary to establish a vassal state and establish a country, which is completely different.
The princes of the Eight Banners have not yet received this kind of treatment.
