[1046 Nurhaci woke up](1/2)

Tiandihui and Wei Bao became the benefactors of the Great Jin Kingdom. This situation is something that Huang Taiji didn't want to see in any case.

In fact, at this time, Huang Taiji had already had the idea of ​​how to govern the Great Jin Kingdom and let the Great Jin Kingdom catch up with the Ming Dynasty quickly.

And it's a whole set of ideas.

In terms of politics, Huang Taiji had a set of ideas about the situation facing the Later Jin Dynasty.

The external situation is isolated and surrounded by the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia and North Korea.

Internal conflicts are becoming increasingly serious due to the conflicts between the aristocratic power division.

Huang Taiji wanted to gradually establish a state ruling institution and replace the state power exercised by the Eight Banners system.

The most important thing is the integration of Manchu and Han. In the original history, in the eleventh year of Tianming, Huang Taiji issued the "Manchu and Han Die Residence Order" after he ascended the throne, put forward the idea of ​​"the key to governing the country is to be assured the people first", announced that "Manchu and Han integration do not lead to similarities and differences", implemented the "partners are incorporated for the people" policy, and ordered that most Han people's villages be extracted from the fields of the village.

"Separate the villages and separate the households, and are organized into households." The Han people were restored from serfs to households, which means they had their original feudal free citizen status.

This eased ethnic conflicts and gradually eased and stabilized society.

To develop agriculture, after the Later Jin Dynasty entered the Liao Dynasty, not only the local Han people engaged in agriculture, but even the Manchus also regarded agriculture as their main business.

Huang Taiji cherished the people's strength and stopped building cities and walls in order to "focus on the southern acres and focus on the main tasks."

He ordered that since the Eight Banners of all villages and land were stable, they would not be changed in the future.

No recourse is allowed to take the property of the villager and the cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs they raise.

After hard work, agriculture has developed greatly, food can basically be self-sufficiency, and social contradictions have been eased.

Improve the institutions, Tianming, and there was no supervisory agency during the Tiancong period. During the Chongde period, Huang Taiji established the Censorate and gave them the power to inspect all officials.

During the Qing Dynasty, the combination of Manchu and Mongolia was closer than that of Manchu and Han.

In order to handle Mongolian affairs, the Mongolian yamen was established. In the third year of Chongde, the eleventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to the Lifan Courtyard in June 1638.

Combined with the original six ministries and the Censorate, it formed the famous Eighth Yamen.

Huang Taiji appointed Manchu, Mongolian and Han people to serve as the founding power, with three people in each department, and all the following participated in politics.

In the third year of Chongde, the eleventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the eight yamen government system was established in July 1638. Each yamen only had one Manchu inheritor, and the following were the officials of the left and right participating political affairs, directors, deputy directors, and chief officials, and the second class changed to fifth class.

This strengthened the ruling power of the country headed by him.

Before the Qing soldiers entered the pass, there was no name for the cabinet.

However, the Qing Dynasty under Huang Taiji's rule had already begun to have the Third Court of the Cabinet.

In the tenth year of Tiancong, the ninth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and in March 1636, Huang Taiji changed the Wenguan to the Neiguo History Academy, Neijian Academy, and Neihong Wenguan Academy.

From the Wenguan to the inner three colleges, although all those who served were Grand Secretary and Bachelor's degree, the division of labor was clearer. Some were responsible for compiling history, some drafted imperial edicts and annotated the gains and losses of political affairs in ancient and modern times, and some gave lectures to the emperor.

After Chongde, the Grand Secretary and Bachelor of the Third Academy of the Inner Three Academy had a greater impact on Huang Taiji's decision-making.

Huang Taiji had his own ideas about the current various contradictions. However, on the one hand, Nurhaci was not dead yet, and on the other hand, Wei Bao's Bao army gradually grew stronger.

Originally, there were no strong challengers around Jiannu, so they had a good opportunity to develop.

But suddenly a Tiandihui and Baojun appeared, making all this a bubble.

Huang Taiji really wanted to develop the economy. Huang Taiji consolidated and expanded his rule in the Northeast on the original basis and made full preparations for entering the pass to rule the whole of China.

After he became emperor, he immediately stipulated that the protection of land and livestock was protected as a code. Crops in the fields were not allowed to be damaged and sows were not allowed to be killed. This was for breeding.

It is not allowed to kill horses, cows, etc. for sacrifice or betray them.

From now on, urging farming was regarded as an important activity almost every year, and it was proposed that "the farming time should not be lost" and "those who abolish farming work were punished."

He knew that grains were the fate of all people, so he repeatedly emphasized that agricultural production was good. Before entering the pass, the Qing Dynasty did not lack food, which was inseparable from this effort.

Handicraft production has also made great progress.

Most of the Shengjing Palaces were built during the Huang Taiji period, and their scale and technology indicate that the level of Later Jin handicrafts was very high.

The Xishisheng Temple in Shengjing City is a symbol of the development of the smelting and casting industry.

Commercial trade occurs in the country, as well as the Ming and North Korea.

Huang Taiji ordered Grand Secretary Xifu to lead a large delegation of eight merchants and a family member below Niulu Zhangjing or above to trade in Zhangjiakou.

Later, he ordered people to buy horses in Guihua City.

There are also examples of individuals who go far away from trade.

In terms of military construction, when Huang Taiji vigorously implemented reforms at home, he did not give up his father Khan Nurhaci's policy of expanding his foreign policy.

He ordered the army to build red-clothed cannons with the power of lethality, and transformed a single cavalry troop into an army of cavalry, artillery and infantry.

Huang Taiji attached great importance to the role of Han landlords and intellectuals and the Ming Dynasty surrendered officials and generals, and adopted a policy of recruiting and bribing them.

Not only did he pass the examination, he recruited more than 200 Han literati, but he also held exams many times since then, distinguishing the advantages and disadvantages and recruiting them only.

A large number of surrendered generals were granted farmland, slaves, and horses, and entrusted with official positions.

The generals Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Chen Zhixiang and others voluntarily came to vote for the king and marquis, and they were favored and honored.

With the surrender of Mongolia and the surrender of Ming generals, Huang Taiji gradually established the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han Army, greatly enhancing military strength.

In terms of foreign wars, Huang Taiji has a complete strategy.

Regarding North Korea, after two expeditions, the King of North Korea, Li Jue, was forced to surrender, pay tribute, promised to cut off contact with the Ming Dynasty, and send the prince to Shenyang as a hostage.

Huang Taiji adopted the policy of "intimidating them with troops and embracing them with virtue" against the Mongolian tribes. First, he strived to support Korqin, Kalaqin and other tribes who were in conflict with Chaharlin Dankhan.

In order to win over the upper feudal elements of Mongolian, Huang Taiji gained support and allegiance from Mongolian tribes by means of marriage, rewards, titles, and the prescribed foreign vassal meritorious officials, worship Lamaism, and establish contact with Tibetan monks and lay leaders.

In the eighth year of Tiancong, the seventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and in 1634, Lin Danhan died in Qinghai.

The following year, in 1635, the Later Jin army continued to attack the remaining troops of Chahar, and Lin Dankhan's son Ezhe surrendered with his mother's seal.

The Ordos tribe was also merged by the Later Jin Dynasty.

At this point, all Mongolians in the southern desert were unified in the Later Jin Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji went all out to launch a war.

In the first year of Chongde, in the ninth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and in 1636, he ordered Ajige to lead troops to invade the south and plunder 180,000 people and animals.

In the third year of Chongde, in the twelfth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, in 1638, Dorgon and Yuetuo led their troops to invade the south, and captured more than 50 cities, captives and captured 460,000 people and more than one million taels of gold and silver.

In order to open Shanhaiguan from the front, the Battle of Jinzhou was launched from the fifth year of Chongde, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and March 1640.

The Ming court sent Hong Chengchou, the Governor of Ji Liao, to lead an army of 130,000 to aid Zu Dashou in Jinzhou.

Huang Taiji personally took charge of the command.

In the seventh year of Chongde, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Songshan City was captured on February 18, 1642. Ming general Hong Chengchou was captured, and Zu Dashou surrendered in Jinzhou.

At this point, the Ming Dynasty only had an isolated city in Ningyuan outside the pass.

Huang Taiji's rule continued to use the Eight Banners, an organization that integrates military and political affairs.

He made the Eight Banners more and more vital through change.

First, the Eight Banners of Manchuria were continuously supplemented with new members, and second, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han Army were improved and expanded. Manchuria during the Nurhaci period was called "Buddhist Manchuria", that is, the old Manchuria.

Huang Taiji used troops to Heilongjiang and other places many times, bringing a large number of ethnic minorities to join the Manchurian Community, and was called "Iche Manchuria", that is, New Manchuria.

Huang Taiji incorporated the New Manchu into the Eight Banners.

In the fifth year of Chongde and the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, once in 1640, the 5,673 new Manchu men captured by the Conquest of Soren were compiled into Niu Lu, which was affiliated with the Eight Banners.

At the same time, the forty-two new Manchu men captured by Kurkha were supplemented with the vacancies of each flag.

In addition to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia were established earlier than the Eight Banners of the Han army. During the Chongde period, the Eight Banners of the Han army developed the fastest.

In the second year of Chongde, the tenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and in 1637, according to the Manchu law, the Han army was divided into two banners, and in the fourth year it expanded into four banners. Each banner was equipped with 18 people in Niulu Zhangjing, one person in Gushan Ezhen, two people in Meile Zhangjing, and four people in Jiala Zhangjing, but the inside was still divided into two banners, two banners in Zhenghuang, two banners in Zhengbai, two banners in Zhengbai, two banners in Zhengbai, two banners in Zhengbai, two banners in Zhengbai, two banners in Zhengbai, two banners in Zhengbai, and two banners in Zhengbai.

In June of the seventh year of Chongde, the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Han Army was officially completed.

Huang Taiji said: "When our country goes out, we serve as soldiers, when we enter, we serve as the people, and we are farming and fighting, and we are never neglected."

This expansion of the Eight Banners of Manchu and the establishment of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han Army not only strengthened the armed forces of the Qing Dynasty, but also implemented a deeper control over the vast majority of peoples of Manchu, Mongolia and Han.

Especially in order to seize the rule of China, the Eight Banners of the Han Army founded by Huang Taiji are of great significance.

Huang Taiji has realized the importance of developing culture and education in governing the country, and said that he cannot think that not studying will not mislead things.

Huang Taiji stipulated that from the sixth year of Tiancong, the fifth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and from 1632, all the children of Beile ministers were under fifteen years old and over eight years old, and were ordered to study.

Huang Taiji also attached great importance to absorbing the advanced culture of the Han people.

By the sixth year of Tiancong, the fifth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, when Dahai died in July 1632, the Chinese books that he had translated into were "The Ministry of Justice Huidian", "Su Shu", "Three Notes", "Wanbao Quanshu", and the translated "Zizhi Tongjian", "Six Strategies", "Mencius", "Three Kingdoms", etc.

Later, he ordered Dahai's son to continue studying Han Shu.

In the ninth year of Tiancong, the eighth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and in 1635, the ministers of the literary museum of the Jin Dynasty translated the historical books of the four dynasties of Liao, Jin, Song and Yuan dynasties.

In the 27th year of Wanli, in 1599, Taizu Nurhaci ordered Bakheldeni and others to create Manchu based on Mongolian letters and combine Jurchen pronunciation. This early Manchu text, which was derived from Mongolian text, was a Manchu text without circles, called the Old Manchu text.

In the sixth year of Tiancong, the fifth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and in 1632, Huang Taiji ordered Bakshidahai to add circles and dots next to the characters, so that the pronunciation and shape of the Manchu text are more perfect. This kind of Manchu text with circles is called the new Manchu text.

After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, hundreds of thousands of people from different ethnic groups and regions gathered in the east and west of the Liaohe River.

Various contradictions between the conquerors and the conquered ones, the Manchu rulers, and other contradictions are intertwined in complexity.
