Chapter 588: Huang Taiji's Plan

A series of changes made Huang Taiji lose his composure. Although he thought that he could take advantage of this time to build the Qing Dynasty well, everything that happened in the Ming Dynasty directly stimulated his nerves.

Since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji's power has been further consolidated. With the help of Fan Wencheng and others, many systems of the Qing Dynasty have gradually improved. They are basically imitated according to many systems of the Ming Dynasty, but these The implementation of the system is much better than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially in terms of policies towards Han officials, Huang Taiji made great changes.

A few years ago, there was a very common situation, as long as the Han soldiers who surrendered had the opportunity, they would inevitably rebel again and return to the Ming Dynasty. Faced with such a problem, Huang Taiji once thought carefully about why there was such a thing. In such a situation, in fact, when Father Nurhachi was in power, he realized the importance of Han officials, and he also formulated a special policy to give preferential treatment to Han officials. It is said that such a policy is not bad.

After serious thinking, Huang Taiji finally discovered the problem, that is, the contradiction between Manchu and Han became increasingly prominent. Some Manchu dignitaries did not pay attention to Han people at all, and they often used sarcasm and even direct bullying. Insulting, and these Manchu dignitaries are all in high positions, which caused the system of preferential treatment established by the father to Han people to not be implemented at all, which led to the gradual disappointment of the Han people who surrendered, and finally chose to leave. [

Huang Taiji knew very well that the Han officials played a very important role. It can be said that the support of the Qing Dynasty cannot be separated from the support of the Han officials, because these Han officials are capable and familiar with many rules and things in the officialdom, and they also know how to use agriculture. Catch up on production.How to make the common people have enough food and clothing, relatively speaking, a large part of Manchu officials can be described as big bosses.

Huang Taiji once introduced a policy on the basis of his father.Han officials will never force them to surrender or not, and those who flee after surrendering, whether they come or go, are all at their own convenience and do not make demands.No persecution.At the same time, he began to limit the power of the Manchu dignitaries, and severely criticized and even directly punished those who discriminated against, bullied and insulted Han officials. Dorgon suffered from this matter.

It is precisely because Huang Taiji resolutely implemented this policy.Hanguan gradually stabilized.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty also helped a lot. If it weren't for the weak national power of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji would not have such an opportunity.

This policy reached its peak when the Qing Dynasty was established, and Kong Youde, who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, was named Dingnan King.Geng Zhongming was named King of Jingnan, and Shang Kexi was named King of Pingnan.

Huang Taiji also specially conducted imperial examinations and hired Han people as officials, which was also to improve the status of Han officials.

After a series of efforts, the Qing Dynasty retained some talents.

But this situation began to change again in the ninth year of Chongzhen.

The reason for the change was that when Azig led the Manchurian 3 Eight Banners soldiers into the pass, they suffered a disastrous defeat and were annihilated by the Jiangning Battalion of the Ming Dynasty by [-] people.Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of establishing the Qing Dynasty to show off their military power, but who knew it would be counterproductive.

This also marks the beginning of a change in the Ming Dynasty.

The Han people in the Qing Dynasty were naturally a little shaken. After all, they regarded the Manchus as aliens.Serving the Qing Dynasty was a last resort, and those who died were not allowed to enter the ancestral halls of their ancestors. The Ming Dynasty began to change, and these people naturally wanted to go back.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, this situation began to become serious. As some Han Chinese who were looted from the Mongolian tribe returned to Shaanxi, the Han people in the Qing Dynasty also began to secretly go to Shaanxi. However, these Han people were not discriminated against. He was still able to cultivate the land and live a stable life. This made Huang Taiji extremely annoyed, and he had to change some strategies and began to strictly control the population.

The biggest problem of the Qing Dynasty is its small population. Every time it enters the customs and fights, it must loot a large number of people to supplement it. This has almost become a system. Thanks to this approach, the population of the Qing Dynasty began to increase slowly. Woke up.

The population is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and absolutely cannot be reduced. Therefore, in the border area, the Eight Banners Army began to garrison the fortresses to prevent the Han people from returning.

Huang Taiji hated Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying to the bone. If given the chance, he would almost be willing to use most of the wealth of the Qing Dynasty to buy Su Tiancheng's head.

Over the past few years, Huang Taiji has invested a lot of money, thinking of adopting strategies such as alienation and framing, but all have failed. On the contrary, the Jiangning camp has become stronger and stronger, and even directly conquered the Xibe and Daur tribes in Mongolia. The tribe started a mutual market in Anningbao and Jingbian.

This situation hurt Huang Taiji's heart.

The Mongolian tribes began to become chaotic. With the strength of the Xibe and Daur tribes, the situation in the grassland and desert began to become unbalanced. The Xibe tribes and the Daur tribes could directly conduct business transactions with Ming Dynasty and easily obtain food. , cavalry, salt and even weapons, some surrounding tribes began to fear the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe, and began to take refuge in these two tribes, which completely disrupted Huang Taiji's deployment.

It should be said that there are quite a few powerful tribes in Mongolia. The Chahar tribe is the boss of the Mongolian tribe, and it is also the target of Huang Taiji's key attack. After a series of blows, the Chahar tribe surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, followed by Horqin, Zalut, Khalkha, Aohan, Karaqin and other tribes, as for the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe, they used to be two small tribes, and Huang Taiji hadn't noticed it yet. [

Huang Taiji basically conquered all the Mongolian tribes through iron, blood and gentle methods, and the territory of Mongolia was also included in the scope of the Qing Dynasty. This became the rear of the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji established the Mongolian tribe here. The Eight Banners, every time they enter the customs to fight, the tribes of Mongolia will send troops to contribute, and the Mongolian Eight Banners also participate in many battles as a brave and skilled army.

The strength of the Xibe and Daur tribes has become a threat to Mongolia. Huang Taiji ordered Horqin and other tribes to exterminate these two tribes, and provided firearms for the Horqin tribe. Who knows the firepower of the Xibe and Daur tribes Powerful, the Chahar and other tribes who beat them cried their fathers and mothers.

However, last year the Mongolian grassland suffered from a snow disaster. Countless cattle and sheep froze to death, and a lot of horses were lost. Many people could not survive. If there is no food supplement, the tribe may be in danger of being wiped out. The food, the two tribes have grown further.

Huang Taiji discovered the danger. If the Xibe and Daur tribes conquered the various tribes in the grassland, Hou Jin would be in danger of losing the entire grassland. These two tribes had already bowed their heads to the Ming Dynasty.

Beginning in the spring, many tribes in the grassland, under the direct instruction of Huang Taiji, united again and began to attack the Xibe and Daur tribes, including some small tribes attached to these two tribes.

In order to achieve the goal of defeating these two tribes, Huang Taiji even gritted his teeth and provided five general cannons to many tribes. This is the treasure that Huang Taiji regards as his heart and soul.

While trying his best to stabilize Mongolia, Huang Taiji did not forget to pay attention to the movements of the Ming Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng invested a lot of gold and silver treasures. Although he failed to deal with Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, he established a powerful intelligence network in the Ming Dynasty. The role of this intelligence network surprised Huang Taiji. It was precisely because of the intelligence network that Huang Taiji knew that the Ming Dynasty had sent Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion to wipe out the bandits, and that Su Tiancheng had served as the minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial envoy of the right capital, and the governor of the military affairs of the five provinces.

It was also thanks to the intelligence network that Huang Taiji sent people to get in touch with the rogues. Of course, the rogues do not know the identity of the contact person. The rogues in Ming Dynasty have complicated personnel. As long as they are willing to join the team of rogues, they will not refuse them. It was very easy to get in. Through contacts, Huang Taiji secretly provided the rogues with matchlock guns, Fran's machine guns and tiger squat guns.

It's a bit funny to say, the matchlock guns were bought by the merchants of Houjin from the mutual market, but the medicine is a little less, the Fran cannon and the tiger squatting gun were brought by Kong Youde. When Kong Youde surrendered back then, he brought them A large number of artillery, these artillery, greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

Huang Taiji always uses the intelligence network to obtain news about the Sichuan rogues.

The far-sighted Huang Taiji is very aware of the importance of bandits. As long as there are bandits in the territory of Daming, they will greatly involve the energy of the Ming court and weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty. In any case, the war will consume a lot of national strength. .

After receiving the news that the bandits had almost wiped out the Baigan soldiers with firearms, Huang Taiji laughed happily. He had a deep impression of the Baigan soldiers. This is an army capable of fighting. Qin Liangyu, the commander of the white-armed soldiers, is a hero among women.

It should be said that Huang Taiji's arrangements in these two aspects have played a great role. If the deployment of both aspects is successful, it can greatly deplete the strength of the Ming Dynasty. If the mutual market is destroyed, the rogues will start to grow again That's right, the Ming Dynasty is about to fall into a situation where it will be attacked from both sides. Although there are Jiang Ning Ying and Su Tiancheng, don't think that it can become stronger in a short time.

It's a pity that all of this seems to be undergoing an unfavorable change.

Recently, the information obtained through the intelligence network has shown some abnormalities, and they are very fatal abnormalities. The fighting between the Mongolian tribes is still going on, and the bandits are also persisting. The big situation has not changed for the time being, but small changes. It began to appear quietly, and Huang Taiji became anxious. If these changes really became a reality, he would have to make a decision, a decision related to the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty.
