Ming politicians

Huang Taiji's actions are very fast. Once he is determined to establish the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty, he will not hesitate at all. When preparing to do something, Huang Taiji will think carefully and consider it thoroughly. He won't leak the news, and he won't publicize it everywhere, but once it's really confirmed, it will be fully implemented in the shortest possible time.

The establishment of the Han Eight Banners caused great repercussions.

The Eight Banners system is an original system of military-civilian integration created by the Qing Dynasty. When the Mongolian Eight Banners were first established, there was not much repercussions within the Qing Dynasty. In terms of the identification of kinship, they even have the feeling of being their own people, but the Manchus have a very different understanding of the Han people. Whether it is Nurhachi or Huang Taiji, they think of seizing the country of the Han people and regard the Han people as their own. The biggest opponent thinks of being able to conquer the Han people. Under the influence of this understanding, the attitude of the Manchu nobles towards the Han people can be imagined.

Huang Taiji's decision to establish the Eight Banners of Han caused some minor fluctuations among the Manchu nobles. However, when the list of all Gushan'ezhen of the Eight Banners of Han was announced, the fluctuations were largely subsided.

The eight Gushan foreheads each have their own origins, but to be honest, these people have already integrated into the Qing Dynasty, and their qualifications are much stronger than those of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi.

The Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army has a real Ma Guangyuan on the front of the Gushan Mountain. After Tiancong surrendered for four years, Jin served under Nurhachi. It used to belong to the Zhenglan Banner of the Manchu Eight Banners. Ming Guangning defended, and surrendered to Nurhachi during the Wanli period.Affiliated to Zhengbai Banner of Manchu Eight Banners, Zhenghong Banner of the Han Army Gushan Ezhen King Shixuan, surrendered to Houjin in the Wanli Period, Han Army Inlaid Red Banner Gushan Ezhen Bayan, his mother is the royal family of Houjin, and he is half a Manchu.Han Army Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, and Han Army Xiangbai Banner Gushan Ezhen Tong Tulai, both of them used to belong to the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchu Eight Banners, the Han Army Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Jinli, Ming Dynasty Wu Jinshi, Tiancong three years after the surrender of gold, full eight banners Zhenghuang Banner Jiala Ezhen, Xianglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Li Guohan, Tiancong three years after surrender Jin.He was given the title of Mergen, which means wise.

Looking at these people, you can understand that Huang Taiji set up the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to make the army of the Qing Dynasty stronger and more and more troops under his control.

As for Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi who surrendered later, they were conferred the title of prince in the first year of Chongde.I hope that more Ming generals will surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

From this perspective, the establishment of the Han Eight Banners.It is even more able to attract the Ming army to surrender.

It's a pity that this step seems a bit late, the situation is different now, Su Tiancheng guarding Liaodong, and the Jiangning battalion led by Su Tiancheng are well-known.The Ming border troops stationed at the border, including the Yulin Battalion, have greatly improved their combat effectiveness. It is almost impossible to think of the previous situation where most of the Ming troops surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

February 25.The Eight Banners of Han Dynasty was formally established.

In order to show the importance of the establishment of the Han Eight Banners this time, Huang Taiji deliberately chose to perform the announcement and appointment ceremony on the main hall. Shenyang's princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi, and Manchu nobles all participated in the ceremony.

It was Prince Zheng Jierhalang who read out the imperial decree, and Huang Taiji personally issued the token to Gushan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty.

Prince Li Daishan stationed in North Korea and Prince Rui Dorgon stationed in Montenegro did not return to Shenyang, but Huang Taiji dispatched special personnel early on to inform them of the details of the establishment of the Han Eight Banners, as well as the purpose and purpose of the establishment of the Han Eight Banners. Role and so on, Daishan and Dorgon fully agree, and they are also superficially satisfied with the selection of Gushan'e real person in the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty.

The headquarters of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was temporarily set up in the newly built military camp twenty miles outside Shenyang City.

To set up the Han Eight Banners, first of all, it is necessary to clarify the troops under their jurisdiction, and secondly, they need money and food.

After the imperial decree was issued, a series of operations began.

The first ones to be transferred were the Han people and the Han army belonging to the Manchu Eight Banners. Most of these people were transferred out and became the Jiala Ezhen and Niulu Ezhen of the Han Eight Banners, belonging to the elite of the Han Eight Banners.

The transfer process is not simple. Prince Zheng Jierhalang and Fan Wencheng are jointly responsible for the transfer. Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng to take charge of this matter, which made everyone's eyes drop. It is possible to directly intervene in any matter of the Eight Banners. The implication is that it cannot intervene in the military deployment of the Houjin. Later, many Han troops who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty also served as subordinate troops. Under the leadership of the Eight Banners, they fought everywhere. It is impossible for those who fight to make decisions without authorization. After all, the Qing Dynasty is a Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is the Manchus who play the decisive role.

However, no one dared to violate Huang Taiji's imperial decree.

This also shows that Huang Taiji has great trust in Fan Wencheng, and this trust has reached the point where it cannot be increased.

The elites of the Han Eight Banners are selected, that is, the officers of the Han Eight Banners. There is a great mystery in this. The officers of the Han Eight Banners are basically drawn from among the Han people who belong to the Manchu Eight Banners. imprint.

For example, the Han people drawn from the Zhenghuang Banner are most loyal to Huang Taiji, who is also the banner owner of the Zhenghuang Banner. The Han people drawn from the Zhenghong Banner are loyal to Huang Taiji and Prince Li Daishan at the same time.

Jierhalang was very aware of the reasoning behind this, and he also knew Huang Taiji's intention to let Fan Wencheng participate in the selection of Han Banners officers, so he let Fan Wencheng do the related things.

Calculated according to the amount of five Jiala Ezhen and 25 Niulu Ezhen for each banner, the direct military commanders of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty need to be equipped with 240 people, plus some other deputies and quartermasters, the total number of officers is close to 500 .

After the selection work began, troops continued to enter the barracks of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty, and the number of people in the early stage was not large.

Fan Wencheng put forward a suggestion that the officers of the Han Eight Banners drawn from the middle of the Man Eight Banners should be transferred according to a fixed ratio. From the Xiangbai Banner, Zhenglan Banner, and Xianglan Banner armies, two people were drawn from each, and the remaining 40 people were all drawn from the Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner.

Niulu Erzhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty has a total of 200 people. From the Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner, Zhengbai Banner, Xiangbai Banner, Zhenglan Banner, and Xianglan Banner armies that are full of the Eight Banners, 15 people are drawn from each, and the remaining 110 people are all from the Zhenghuang Banner. And drawn from the bordered yellow flag.

As for the relevant deputies, quartermasters, etc., they are evenly drawn from the full Eight Banners.

Jierhalang hardly thought about it, and agreed to the distribution ratio.

When the two presented this plan to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji didn't say anything, and if he didn't say anything, it was tantamount to agreeing.

Next, Fan Wencheng came up with a plan again when he transferred the Han Eight Banners sergeants.

It turns out that the Han army led by Kong Youde, because of Kong Youde's death, all the remaining soldiers were incorporated into the Eight Banners of Han. No matter which banner they belong to now, they were all drawn out. The Han army led by Geng Zhongming drew 1 people into the Eight Banners of Han The Han army led by Shang Kexi transferred 1 people into the Eight Banners of Han, so that the Eight Banners of Han would have a force close to 4, with a gap of [-], from the middle of the Eight Banners, the Han sergeants would continue to be deployed.

As for the Han army led by Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, it was directly controlled by the emperor. However, when the Han Eight Banners started fighting, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi had to assist them. When necessary, the Han Eight Banners could be dispatched directly.

If the Han Eight Banners have less than 6 sergeants, they can be recruited among the Han people in Liaodong.

Huang Taiji also fully agrees with this plan.

At this time, Jierhalang understood that Fan Wencheng probably knew all about the original plan for the establishment of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty. In other words, Huang Taiji had discussed with Fan Wencheng a long time ago. To come forward to take charge of specific matters is just to put up a sign, because for such a big matter, if Fan Wencheng is directly asked to be responsible, it is impossible for the court to pass.

Of course, Jierhalang would not have any opinion on Huang Taiji. He fully agreed with the establishment of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty. Being able to make good use of these generals of the Han army will play a huge role in stabilizing the military power of the Qing Dynasty. Zhishi can attack jade, after all, there are not many Manchus, and it is enough to master the center.

But Jierhalang has a lot of opinions on Fan Wencheng. When the Qing Dynasty Navy was established, Jierhalang had some opinions on Fan Wencheng. The relationship between Huang Taiji and his brothers was originally close. Inseparable, no matter what happens between the Manchus, what disputes arise, it is a matter between the Manchus, and it is up to the Manchus to decide whether to kill or cut, and you don't need to worry about it, Fan Wencheng, now you Worrying about so many things, erecting a fence between Huang Taiji and his brothers, artificially creating obstacles, and using the pedantic thinking of the Han people to confuse Huang Taiji, isn't it sinister.

Ji Erhalang's thoughts are meticulous and steady, and these thoughts will not be revealed. He is different from Dorgon, and he can't understand Azige's recklessness. He keeps all the important things in his heart, looking for opportunities to vent Now that Huang Taiji favors Fan Wencheng exceptionally, at this time, it is by no means an opportunity to make trouble, but to endure it. Anyway, what Huang Taiji ultimately needs to rely on is the Manchu nobles, not the Han people represented by Fan Wencheng. (to be continued..)
