Chapter 337 Qing Dynasty

In the New Qinzhong Grassland, the Mongolian Khan's golden tent, there were scouts who had come back to report that Li Guodong was about to arrive. Ezhe asked to prepare to welcome Li Guodong and his caravan with a grand welcoming ceremony.

"The Jurchens seem to have been changed to Manchus." A Mongol from Liaodong suddenly mentioned something.

"When did it change?" Ezhe asked.

"After they retreated to Liaodong at the end of last year, they changed the Jurchens to Manchuria."

"Remember! Whether it is the Jurchens or Manchuria, they are all enemies of us Chahar people!" Ezhe stood up and looked around and said.

Thousands of miles away in Shengjing, the Phoenix Tower of the Imperial Palace, Huang Taiji leaned on the big mahogany chair and watched the memorials piled up on the desk, feeling extremely bad.

The defeat of Yuetuo and Dorgon not only lost the lives of nearly 30,000 Jurchen warriors, but also caused great loopholes in the strategic plan to attack Ming that Huang Taiji had worked hard to attack. If you want to create a foundation for the great Jin Dynasty for generations and enter the Central Plains, you must first conquer Mongolia. If you cannot conquer Mongolia, how can you enter the Central Plains?

Guluge was killed, and the pro-Juzhen forces among the Tumotes were all beaten up. Omubu, who had already surrendered to the Dajin, betrayed the Dajin again and participated in the anti-Jin alliance between the Khalkhas and Chahars. Dorgon lost more than 20,000 people, of which at least 4,000 died at the hands of the Tumotes. According to what Dorgon described after his return, after the elite cavalry of the Dajin were trapped in the encirclement of the Mongols, the three Khalkhas feared the fierce combat power of the Jurchen cavalry and did not dare to go forward and fight. They all worked but did not work hard, and were harassed by archery from afar. However, the Tumotes seemed to be crazy, and the Tongchahars launched fierce attacks again and again.

Huang Taiji knew that it was the last time when Yue Tuo invaded the Ming Dynasty, and he exploited the Tumotes too hard, so the Tumotes were dissatisfied. At that time, Gu Luge was still there and could still suppress Omubu. Who knew that Gu Luge was actually killed!

The Jurchen cavalry can easily enter the Hetao grassland again, but what if it is possible to enter the Hetao grassland? The Mongolians will not fight you head-on. When the Jurchen main army comes, the Mongolians will run away. When the Jurchen cavalry leaves, the Mongolians will make a comeback.

Even at the time when the Han people were most powerful, they could not conquer the nomadic peoples on the grasslands with swords. The Jurchens were far from that powerful. After the failure of the Western Expedition, the Jurchens were also in a difficult situation with internal and external affairs. The Jurchens had few soldiers in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Mongols and Hans far surpassed the Jurchens. Only continuous victory in the conquests could accumulate the prestige of the Jurchens, making the Mongols and Hans dare not act rashly and crawl honestly at the feet of the Jurchens. Many Mongolians had already developed strange intentions in this defeat in the Great Jin Dynasty.

At the end of last year, Huang Taiji personally led his troops to rescue Dorgon and did not stay on the grassland for a long time, so he immediately returned to Shengjing. The first thing he did after returning was to change the Jurchens to Manchuria, which was also adopted Fan Wencheng's proposal to change the Jurchens to Manchuria.

According to Fan Wencheng, there are two points. The first is to avoid extreme hatred of the Han people towards the Jurchens, because the Jin Kingdom in history once destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Jurchens could be changed to Manchuria to downplay hatred; the second is that Ming is fire virtue, while Jurchens are gold, and fire overcomes metal. To destroy the Ming Dynasty, water virtue is needed, so Jurchens are changed to Manchuria.

Huang Taiji knew very well that he could not turn the situation around immediately after changing his name. But now, Huang Taiji's idea of ​​changing his country's name is getting stronger and stronger.

"Issuing an edict to change the Great Jin to the Qing Dynasty! My Khan will ascend the throne to the emperor!" Huang Taiji suddenly stood up.

At the end of last year, the Jurchens had been changed to Manchuria, but they were still not satisfied. Manchuria was water, but the Great Jin was gold, and water and gold could not be integrated. Moreover, the Han people were deeply hostile to the Great Jin. In history, the Great Jin once straited the Central Plains, conquered Bianliang, and captured the two emperors. Speaking of the Great Jin, the Han people were more hatred.

So the country's name must be changed. What should the Jin Dynasty change to? If there are three points of water in Manchuria, then we must also give a country with water.

So after Huang Taiji discussed with his Han ministers, he changed Jin to Qing based on the principle of sound and sound.

"From now on, the Jurchens and the Dajins are both things in the past. From now on, there will be only Manchus and the Qing dynasty!" Huang Taiji stood up with confidence and said loudly.

The Eight Banners of Jurchen were also changed to the Eight Banners of Manchus, and the names of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han remained unchanged.

After the edict was issued, the entire Shengjing and even the entire Liaodong became busy. Huang Taiji also sent envoys to Modong Mongolia, Khalkha Mongolia, Tumot Mongolia, Chahar Mongolia and North Korea, and sent them letters of state, asking them to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

The Mongols of Modong immediately surrendered. Khalkha Mongols and Chahar Mongols did not even receive the letter of the Great Jin Kingdom. The envoy was intercepted by Li Guodong's Ming army at night and cut off his head and took it to Xuanda for merit. The Tumots received the letter of the Great Jin Kingdom to change the Qing Dynasty, but Omubu did not send anyone to Liaodong to celebrate, but just pretended to say a few words of congratulation to the envoy. On the other hand, the envoy arrived in North Korea and also met the King of North Korea Li.

However, the Korean king Lee Seung had a very bad attitude. He refused to see the envoys of the Qing Dynasty, and did not accept the Qing Dynasty documents. He also asked the envoys to say: "The Dajin and Korea are brotherly countries. In addition to the Ming emperor, the pseudo-emperor Japanese emperor on the other side of the sea. How could Dajin be called emperor? Originally, Dajin and Korea were brotherly countries, so how could North Korea be called a minister?"

The Qing envoy returned to Shengjing in shame. On the way back, the Korean people threw stones, bricks, and rotten vegetables at the Qing envoy.

In February of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji officially ascended the throne and became emperor, changed the country's name to the Qing Dynasty, and changed the first year's name to Chongde.

But what is strange is that the day before Huang Taiji was about to ascend the throne and become emperor, North Korea actually sent an envoy!

On the day when Huang Taiji ascended the throne and became emperor, there were gongs and drums inside and outside Shengjing City, and firecrackers roaring. The envoys from Mongolia and North Korea in Modong were led by eunuchs and walked into Shengjing Palace.

In the square outside Chongzheng Hall, civil and military ministers on both sides stood solemnly, and a large number of large inner guards wearing yellow vests stood behind the ministers. The flags were waving in the palace, making it very lively.

"Hmph! Aren't the Goryeo people very tough? Didn't they send an envoy honestly? The Goryeo people are just stubborn! They have been scared by my Dajin!" Ajige sneered.

Dorgon beside him corrected: "It was the Qing Dynasty, not the Jin Dynasty. I think there are tricks in the Goryeo people. I will know what the Goryeo people are doing later."

"If you dare not give me the Qing Dynasty face, then drag them down and cut them into pieces." Duoduo snorted coldly.

When the time came, after a complicated ceremony, Huang Taiji officially ascended the throne and became emperor, the Jin Dynasty changed its name to the Qing Dynasty, and Tiancong changed its Yuan to Chongde.

Afterwards, the Mongolian envoys from the east of the Modong came up to celebrate.

Two Korean envoys also came up to celebrate. They stood in the middle of the hall and congratulated Huang Taiji on his ascension to the throne as emperor in Chinese.
