Ming politicians

Huang Taiji attached great importance to the intelligence analyzed by Fan Wencheng, and immediately agreed with Fan Wencheng on how to deal with it. At the same time, he secretly transferred Hauge from Liaoyang to Shenyang, and Zhenglan Banner also returned to the suburbs of Shenyang to station. Huang Taiji had already made a decision. After making a decision, let Hauge lead the Zhenglan Banner into Mongolia and lead the upcoming fight. All the tribes in Mongolia obeyed Hauge's orders.

The reason why Huang Taiji decided to send Hauge was because the Mongolian tribe was too important to the Qing Dynasty, and there must be no mistakes. Without the Mongolian tribe, the power of the Qing Dynasty would be greatly weakened. If Mongolia was ruled by the Ming Dynasty , The Qing Dynasty has almost no place to survive.

The sons of Huang Taiji have not shown their ability for a long time. After Ye Bushu became the deputy commander of the navy, he suffered a disastrous defeat. The entire army of [-] navy was wiped out, and he was unable to show any ability at all. Huang Taiji wasn't overly discouraged, he didn't have too high expectations for the navy, the Qing Dynasty still relied mainly on cavalry, and Ye Bushu's failure didn't arouse too much anger among the nobles of the Manchus. Many Manchu nobles don't care about the navy, but Ye Busu's failure also exposed his own lack of ability.

The queen's son, Fulin, is too young to see any ability.

After the establishment of the capital in Shenyang, Huang Taiji was also annoyed. The imperial palace was fortified, and most of his sons lived in the deep palace. Thinking about his childhood and youth, where there were such conditions, they were all spent in tempering Yes, the flowers in the greenhouse don't grow big. The situation of Hauge is different. He joined the army when he was young. In terms of his fighting ability on the battlefield, he is indeed good.

Comparing and comparing, Huang Taiji is ultimately optimistic about Hauge, if he compares it with his sons.Hauge is considered a good candidate. At least after Hauge inherits the throne, he can continue to conquer the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji does not have enough confidence to completely overthrow the Ming Dynasty in his lifetime.

Also for this reason.Huang Taiji attaches great importance to Hauge, the position of Liaoyang is extremely critical, not far from Shenyang, he can control the situation of Liaodong, Gaizhou, Yaozhou, and Haizhou in the center, Huang Taiji let Hauge station in Liaoyang, also thinking that Hauge can be in the middle Coordination, of course, is very difficult, and the key is Dorgon, Duoduo, Azig and others.He may not necessarily obey Hauge's command, nor may he completely look down on Hauge.

This time Hauge was sent to Mongolia, and Huang Taiji also had unusual considerations. If Hauge can stabilize the situation in Mongolia and get the full support of the sixteen tribes of Mongolia, then Dorgon, Duoduo, Azig, etc. People have a lot of taboos, with the assistance of Jierhalang, Fan Wencheng and others.As well as the support of the Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, Zhenglan Banner, and Xianglan Banner, Dorgon and others must obey the command.And Xianghongqi is slowly returning to his heart.

Huang Taiji used to be more worried about Daishan, but after Zhenghongqi was annihilated, Daishan's attitude changed greatly, and he firmly supported and supported Huang Taiji. This attitude was expressed sincerely, without the slightest affectation.Huang Taiji also really felt it. After experiencing a major blow, Daishan became more wise. Everything started from the prosperity and stability of the Qing Dynasty, so Huang Taiji knew.As long as his attitude is clear, Daishan will definitely support Hauge. [

There must be a game among the Manchu nobles in the Qing Dynasty, and it is impossible to be harmonious. In this situation, Huang Taiji is clear. The previous situation is nothing, but in the future, we must take precautions. One day away, it is impossible to imagine that the son who inherits the throne will stabilize the Qing Dynasty without a lot of support.

After winning so much support, the next step is to see Hauge's performance. If the mud can't support the wall, then it's still not good, at least they won't convince you sincerely.

Hauge was born and died, and has experienced too many fights. There is no need to question his bravery. Unfortunately, in terms of political coordination, there are obvious deficiencies, and he is easily agitated. They are all flaws in inheriting the throne.

Huang Taiji was very careful and kept admonishing Hauge, asking Hauge to read more books in his spare time, especially the Tao of Confucius and Mencius. Don't underestimate the culture of the Han people. It has been passed down for thousands of years. The truth in it is profound. If you really master the way of Confucius and Mencius, there is no problem in ruling the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, Huang Taiji also made a decision that when Hauge went to Mongolia, Fan Wencheng would go with the army.

It is not easy for Huang Taiji to make this decision. Fan Wencheng's role is huge. Many times, Huang Taiji feels that he can't even do without Fan Wencheng, but Daishan's wisdom is slowly making up for this aspect At the same time, Huang Taiji also felt that he still needs to cultivate talents. Once Fan Wencheng gets old or has physical problems, someone needs to be the think tank of the Qing Dynasty.

Recently, Daishan is re-establishing Zhenghongqi, and Huang Taiji has given him great support, returning the Xianghongqi to Daishan. kind.

After Fan Wencheng analyzed the information, he did not rest idle.

Because of the disastrous defeat in Xuanzhou, Huang Taiji realized the decisive role of intelligence, so he fully supported Daishan. Within the scope of the Qing Dynasty, he also established a strict intelligence network to collect information from all aspects, including Mongolia, Liaodong, Haizhou and other places. , Fuzhou and other places, and even North Korea, the Qing Dynasty had a good foundation in these places, and the Manchus scattered in some places could become a source of intelligence.

The construction of an intelligence network consumes a lot of brainpower, and this consumption of brainpower exceeds the consumption of physical strength.

But hard work always pays off.

The news from North Korea made Fan Wencheng pay more attention to it again.

North Korea received information from Japan.

The royal family of the Lee family in North Korea had been severely damaged by Japanese pirates. Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Japan invaded North Korea. Fortunately, he received the full support of the Ming Dynasty and drove the Japanese pirates out of North Korea. However, there are also many Japanese pirates or support Japanese pirates. People stayed, and some merchants shuttled between North Korea and Japan, doing business.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness, the heir was too young and encountered the attack of Tokugawa Ieyasu. In the end, the Toyotomi family failed completely and lost the leadership of Japan, replaced by the Tokugawa shogunate. [

Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first generation of the Tokugawa shogunate general, decisively killed and powerfully maintained the rule of the Tokugawa family in Japan. Tokugawa Ieyasu was named the general who conquered the barbarians, the maharaja of Japan, and became the master of the actual political power in Japan. Or, the emperor is only a symbolic head of state, and then Tokugawa Ieyasu built the Tokugawa shogunate into a form of hereditary leadership.

After the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the third son Tokugawa Hidetada inherited the power and became the second generation general. Tokugawa Hidetada had limited development ability, but the ability to harvest was very strong. If Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Hidetada maintained the rule very well, and gradually made Japan more united and strong.

After Tokugawa Hidetada died, his successor was Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's ability cannot be compared with Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tokugawa Hidetada, but he has taken the position of general, that is, the actual ruler of Japan.

Tokugawa Iemitsu has ruled Japan for more than ten years, and he also wants to do some big things. Unfortunately, it is difficult to do anything innovative in Japan, so he has some intentions to fix his eyes on North Korea.

After Fan Wencheng got this information, he was ecstatic.

The changes in Japan are actually obvious. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Japan worshiped China and learned everything from China. Japanese women even took pride in conceiving Han children. Not only would they not be discriminated against at home, they would also be treated Respect, most of the etiquette and rules in Japan were learned from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Until the Song Dynasty, Japan absolutely worshiped Han culture, and never thought about when it would be able to invade China.

This situation changed slightly during the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty was considered by Japan to be a different kind, and it was considered to be the downfall of Han culture. Since then, Japan's attitude towards China has undergone great changes.

The Ming Dynasty returned to the rule of the Han people, but Japan did not buy it, thinking that the Han culture of the Ming Dynasty was different from before, and it was not a pure Han culture. At the same time, Japan’s national self-confidence was also highly inflated, and it wanted to become a powerful country. The dream is getting stronger day by day. Driven by this trend of thought, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who used iron and blood to unify Japan, began to expand his own power. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not satisfied with ruling a small Japan, and Japan had two The record of defeating the Yuan army for the first time made Toyotomi Hideyoshi eager to invade North Korea. After occupying North Korea, he directly pointed the finger at Ming, trying to defeat Ming and rule the Central Plains.

The Ming Dynasty sent troops to help North Korea and defeated the Japanese pirates, not just to help North Korea. According to many intelligence analysis, the Japanese Japanese pirates wanted to attack Ming Dynasty. suffered a heavy loss, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty remembered all this clearly.

Of course, Fan Wencheng knew all the process.

The most out-and-out traitor, Fan Wencheng's thinking has always been a little different. Morality does not exist, and the criterion for doing things is to achieve the goal. What he thinks in his mind is whether he can use the power of Japanese pirates to attack the Ming army stationed in North Korea. At the same time, it launched an attack on Xuanzhou and Fuzhou, and used the power of the Japanese pirates to maximize the loss of the Jiangning camp. Such an opportunity will be of great benefit to the Qing Dynasty. As for the cruelty of the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates are typical heterogeneous , this is not a question that Fan Wencheng needs to think about.

It is precisely for this reason that Fan Wencheng secretly sent people to Japan, and even Huang Taiji did not report it. (to be continued)
