Four or five, but you have to go fast (8)

The 19th year of Chongzhen came quietly, but this year cannot be shouted out loud in Beijing, unless you are tired of living and want to behead the Qing army. However, after the bloody plunder, the people in Beijing have already hated the Manchus and refused to use the term "Three Years of Shunzhi", so the more written and formal "Bingxu Year" became a common saying.

In private, many people even call this unlucky year "Year of the Dog", and at the same time add accent to the word "Dog", which has a somewhat slim smell.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Dorgon accepted the congratulations from all officials with the emperor, and then went to the inner palace to discuss state affairs with the Empress Dowager Tingzheng. This behavior was not an exaggeration for the Manchus, but it was contrary to ethical in the eyes of the Han people. Morality is contagious, so even many Manchus with a higher degree of sinicization were difficult to accept.

However, Jirgalang is unable to raise his head because of the defeat in Tianjin and the crime of imprisonment in Jingguan, which makes Dorgon powerful and no one dares to argue.

In fact, Dorgon really went to Bumubutai to discuss state affairs.

And it is related to the fate of the entire Manchuria: whether to give up Beijing and return to Shengjing.

Bumubutai knew that he was not as talented as the late emperor, and was full of doubts about Dorgon's reputation as the "smart king", so she remembered the ancestral system.

The ancestral system used the four major Beile seats in the south, regardless of the superiority, and jointly discussed politics. Later, Huang Taiji spent a lot of effort to bring the banner power into his own hands, and finally realized the rule of asking about politics alone in the south, Beile gave him seats, and others stood up. Even after Huang Taiji became emperor, the banner power and regime in Manchuria were still in conflict with each other, and it could not be regarded as a complete feudal regime.

Judging from Huang Taiji's death, the way the Manchus fought for the throne was also compared to who had more Niulu and had bigger fists, which was still a custom in the traditional tribal era.

Since no one can stand alone to unify the Qing Dynasty, the most reliable way is to invite the princes and Bell to discuss "democracy" in a traditional way, and finally reach a resolution that is acceptable to all parties.

Because Haoge was captured, the Zhenglan Banner belonged to Jirgalang. However, the Niulu under Zhenglan Banner was divided up by Ajige and Dodo. In order to win the support of Abatai, the concubine's son of the previous Khan, Dorgon dug out the red flag power from Daishan and handed it over to Abatai's son Boluo.

In this way, when the Eight Banners were discussing politics, the Queen Mother of Kunning Palace was high above and supported by the Eight Mongolian Banners. On the Eight Banners of Manchuria were Dorgon and Duoduo’s two white flags; Daishan’s Zhenghong Banners; Beileboluo’s inlaid red flag; Jiergalang’s two blue flags; and in name two yellow flags personally led by Emperor Shunzhi.

In order to make the decision more correct, Dorgon proposed to let the Han Army Banner attend the meeting and express his opinions, but he did not have the right to vote. Having said that, only the alive King of Zhishun and King of Huaishun Geng Zhongming of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, who were still alive among the Kings of Sanshun, could attend.

As a think tank that Dorgon still valued, Hong Chengchou also participated in this meeting, which made the important officials of Manchus such as Suksaha, Sony, and Wubai quite jealous and angry - breaking the rules of his ancestors.

Hong Chengchou was suffering. Since losing Baoding, he was suspected of Dorgon, and he was extremely cautious. Even his mother was sent to the palace to become hostages. How could he dare to speak on such an occasion?

On the 14th day of the first lunar month of the third year of Shunzhi, this meeting, which had been consulted several times, was finally held in the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City. The participants were these ten people who could influence the future situation in the world.

"Tianjin cannot be defeated. Tens of thousands of people have been filled in, but even the earth wall has not been defeated." Duoduo, who was arrogant and arrogant, said frustrated: "The Ming army's sea routes are smooth and they can't be surrounded. How can this battle be fought? No one can blame anyone, it's just that we don't have a navy."

The meeting began with the defeat of Jirgalang in Tianjin and ended with Duoduo's refutation. Jirgalang was very glad that he had found Duoduo's partner, and he also made Dorgon take the opportunity to be afraid of it.

"We lost to the Ming army at the root." Dai Shan blamed Dorgon for robbing his red flag and said, "The late emperor collected the Niulu together in the flags. It seemed that the power was great, but now thinking about it, if you don't know who will follow the orders of each other, it will inevitably lead to a decline in combat power. According to my opinion, you still have to restore the rules when you were in the early sweat. Niulu of each village is in charge of people in normal times and leads troops in wartime. Don't make the generals not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals."

Dorgon originally wanted to refute Dai Shan's regression, but it affected the lung meridian and coughed in a series of ways. He couldn't even say a word.

Jiergalang had to bite the bullet and said, "The rules of the late emperor are also beneficial. Everyone comes here when they sweat first, and they all know what it was like at that time. Sometimes when the army goes out, the masters rob the pots, but the armored soldiers are dispersed in two blood coats. If the late emperor had not gathered the power of the various flags and distributed them fairly, it would have been less than the grand occasion today."

"Fair?" Dai Shan snorted coldly.

Dorgon didn't think there was any fairness to Huang Taiji, and he tried his best to grab the cattle from him and his younger brother, which was shameless.

"Don't make a noise." Bumubutai finally couldn't listen and said, "Your princes, Bell, we are going to discuss the plan of staying and leaving now. Why bother to mention the matter of Chen Zhima and Mizu? Regent, you are in charge of the great power, let's talk first."

Dorgon calmed down his breath and couldn't stand the woman holding chicken feathers as a command arrow, but he didn't dare to arouse public anger in front of so many princes Bell, so he had to slowly say: "I thought it was time to leave."

"Stop when you see it's good." Duoduo immediately responded to his brother: "This time I entered the pass, the biggest gains have been since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. It's time to go back and manage the ancestral land."

Dorgon glanced at his younger brother and praised him secretly: He has indeed grown up.

Speaking of which, even the Manchus themselves did not believe it. Dorgon chose to first northwest and then Jiangnan, but in fact he left a way out for himself to make it easier for him to get out of seclusion. If he hurriedly fought Jiangnan and was cut off by the Han people, wouldn’t he even be unable to go back to his hometown?

But at that time, I didn’t expect to be beaten so miserably, and I didn’t expect that most of the people didn’t want to go back because they saw the prosperity in the pass.

Jiergalang also wanted to go back outside the pass. He fought a war with the Ming army himself and knew that these Ming troops were not comparable to those of Liao Town in the past. It was better to go back and recuperate for a while before trying out the soft and hard.

Dai Shan was unwilling to go back like this because the two white flags grabbed the most, and the two yellow flags grabbed the best - because they occupied the treasure house of the Forbidden City, but his red flag was not caught, and even lost a red flag inlaid. How could he be willing to do so?

Manchus and Mongolians like to leave their family property to their youngest sons, not just love them. There is another reason because when their parents left, their sons had grown up and could establish themselves. As the eldest son, Dai Shan did not inherit the essence of Nuerhaci, and was also robbed by Huangtai Ji, and had no chance of independence at all.

"If you want to leave, you should first discuss how to divide the harvest this time." Dai Shan coughed dryly and said, "Will it be the same as when you sweat first, or the same as when you were the emperor. There must be a statement."

When the first knights, part of the robbers of each flag was returned to the Gongzhong, and the main head was divided by the banner master himself. In the era of the late emperor, the robbers of each flag could only occupy three, and the gains of Niulu Li Dingkou were guaranteed. Dai Shan of course hoped that his losses would be taken back from the Gongzhong part, so as not to enter the pass in vain.

Others felt that Zhenghongqi made the least effort in fighting the Ming army and should not have divided too much seizures. Going further, after the death of the late emperor, no one could control the affairs of the public ranks. Who would still be willing to hand over his seizure? Huang Taiji could see the obstacles of the flag power on the regime. Can others see that the regime deprives the flag power?

So regarding the issue of sharing the spoils, the Eight Banners became a mass, and unless someone was willing to spit out the meat in his mouth, don’t expect it to calm down.

Dorgon was weak at this time, and it was good that he could persist in attending. He finally said that he was exhausted and almost fainted. This ended the first Eight Banners Conference.

The Han army developed from Wuzhen Chaoha. Wuzhen Chaoha was an army drawn by the Han people of each banner. They cultivated the land of each banner on weekdays and were led by Gushan Ezhen appointed by the court in wartime. Therefore, the biggest difference between them and the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners is that the Han Eight Banners does not occupy land.

Since there is no land, there is no development problem, which makes Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming watch coldly and act as a decoration.

Hong Chengchou complained in his heart, feeling sad that he had not been able to commit suicide at the beginning. Now the hunted property Dingkou has not moved home, and the Manchus will have internal conflicts. Isn’t this what a foolish man does? However, as his identity, he cannot say such words, otherwise no one can tell the consequences.

"Prince, why can't you go back outside the pass first, then count it carefully before making distribution?" Hong Chengchou met Dorgon privately and expressed his own opinion.

Dorgon lay halfway in the chair and shook his head and said, "Sir, I still don't understand us Manchus. We like to say what we should say first and then do what we agreed upon. If we don't understand the front, we will inevitably hurt our true feelings in the future."

Hong Chengchouo continued, saying, "But it is really inappropriate now. Our army retreated to Beijing to defend, and Baoding, Tianjin and other major portals and cities fell into the hands of the Ming army. It is really dangerous."

"How many people in the Ming army can stop my tens of thousands of troops from stopping?" Dorgon disagreed: "Our army suffers as a loss, and if our army can clench one fist, they will not dare to attack even if they lend it to the Ming army with ten courage."

Hong Chengchou didn't know where Dorgon came from, so he passed by his mind and said, "Prince, the Ming army has invested at least 200,000 troops in the Battle of Tianjin this time, and I'm afraid he may not dare not take the initiative."

Dorgon couldn't help but tremble for a moment and asked urgently: "Be serious about this?"
