Ming politicians

Huang Taiji felt that there was a real problem with his body. Recently, he had difficulty concentrating, and he often felt in a trance. When he went to the court to discuss matters, he always had difficulty persisting for a long time. This was never before. The situation that has never happened before, and what is even more anxious is that Huang Taiji dreamed several times, dreaming of his father Nurhachi.

This is not a good omen. According to the analysis of some people in the court, if you dream of someone who has passed away, it means that you will go to heaven to meet this person, and you will be reunited in another world, or that your relatives are calling you there. own up.

Huang Taiji felt even more depressed. The Qing Dynasty was at a critical moment. At this time, dreaming about the father was definitely not a good thing.

The battle report from the grassland came. The soldiers of the Horqin tribe suffered heavy losses. However, Su Tiancheng did not insist on continuing to attack, but withdrew to the Hetao grassland. The two sides seemed to have settled down, but Huang Taiji knew very well that the grassland could not be quiet. Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning Battalion, as well as the soldiers of the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe, and wiped out the Chahar tribe. This has already dropped a heavy bomb on the grassland. The rest of the grassland tribes cannot be completely at ease. .

Huang Taiji was very emotional, Su Tiancheng was very smart and stopped the attack in time.

The army led by Daishan and Haoge has reached more than [-] people, plus the sergeants of the Horqin tribe, the number is not inferior. This kind of battle has really started, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose. Taiji has asked all the tribes in the grassland to unite under special circumstances, abandon previous suspicions, and deal with the Ming army's attack. Such an order is still effective.For example, the "Cha" tribe and the Khalkha tribe have united to prepare for the attack of the Ming army.

Su Tiancheng won the victory on the grassland, so he accepted it as soon as it was good, such a decision.Ordinary people can't do it.

Huang Taiji is also a little strange, why when Su Tiancheng led the army to attack the Horqin Right Wing Middle Banner, Daishan and Haoge were not able to fight against the Jiangning camp. battle on.It is hard for the Ming court to say anything. The Ming court has never recognized the Qing Dynasty, and it does not recognize that the Mongolian tribes have belonged to the Qing Dynasty. According to this judgment, the battle on the grassland has nothing to do with the negotiation.

After reading the letter from Haug.Huang Taiji looked up to the sky and sighed. He couldn't blame Daishan. Daishan's caution was justified. After all, the Jiangning battalion was powerful, and Su Tiancheng personally commanded the battle. Zhenglan Qi and Xianghong Qi really fought against Jiangning battalion, maybe it was Another fiasco.Such a loss cannot be borne by the Qing Dynasty, and even more so by Huang Taiji. [

Huang Taiji has already grasped some of the changes in the grassland tribes. Su Tiancheng withdrew from the Hetao grassland, but controlled a large area originally controlled by the Chahar tribe. The Xibo tribe moved to this area and began to exercise jurisdiction. Come, Ningxia, Yulin, Datong and other places in Ming Dynasty.It will be completely safe. It can be said that Su Tiancheng's decision firstly ensures the safety of the Daming Border Pass, and secondly, it also paves the way for the future conquest of the grassland.A good foundation has been laid.

Sometimes, Huang Taiji, who was furious, wanted to lead the army himself, enter the grassland, and start a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng, but such a decision could not be implemented, and the situation facing the Qing Dynasty was completely different from before.

There is an army led by Lu Xiangsheng in eastern Liaodong. Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places are occupied by the Jiangning camp. Both Ming armies can directly threaten Shenyang. It is very likely that Shenyang will fall if it comes down. If that is the case, the Qing Dynasty will suffer a devastating blow.

Huang Taiji sometimes wondered why the situation would undergo such a major change in less than ten years. The previous victories of the Qing Dynasty seemed to no longer exist. The plan to conquer the Ming Dynasty and enter the Central Plains was even more In the distant future, it is even impossible.

Of course, these things are all in front of our eyes, and the decisive battle with Daming has not yet officially started. The negotiations in the capital of Daming have bought time for the Qing Dynasty to relax. At least Zhenghongqi has been reorganized.

The biggest worry in Huang Taiji's heart is the issue of succession to the throne.

Everyone said that the emperor lived forever, but it was actually impossible. Huang Taiji, whose health was getting worse and worse, knew that his time was probably running out. His father, Nurhachi, was also like this. After his body collapsed, he couldn't last long. time.

Because of Huang Taiji's physical problems, there was an undercurrent in the Qing Dynasty again. This time, unlike the last time, the undercurrent turned into an open one, which was clearly reflected through the discussion of the court.

The prairie conquest did not achieve the desired results, and it has already aroused a lot of discussion in the court. Combined with Jierhalang's negotiations in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, some people began to make a fuss about this aspect, and most of the people who raised objections Some of them are officers from Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner.

This is by no means an accidental situation.

Dorgon is a rare and outstanding talent. Huang Taiji is very clear about this. He has always trusted Dorgon very much. The Ministry of Officials, the six ministries of the Qing Dynasty, are somewhat peculiar, divided into Manchus and Hans. For example, the Minister of Officials, there are Manchus and Hans, but it is the Manchus who really hold power. Dorgon, as the Ministry of Officials It is rare for Shangshu to actually control personnel power, both officials and the army.

The change in Huang Taiji's attitude was after that coma, and within a few days of the coma, what happened to the high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty made Huang Taiji start to reflect on why such a situation occurred, and Fan Wencheng Some relevant analysis made Huang Taiji feel that the power of a person needs to be suppressed, no matter how prominent this person is, he cannot directly threaten the emperor, including the person who is going to take over the emperor's position.

In this respect, Dorgon had some problems, and they were problems of principle.

From then on, Huang Taiji began to change his approach and paid attention to restraining Dorgon's power. Although Dorgon was still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, most of the appointments of relevant officials were decided by Huang Taiji himself. On the other hand, it has also been carefully considered. For example, Dorgon should be the most suitable candidate for the expedition to the grassland this time, but Huang Taiji asked Hauge to go, not Dorgon.

Huang Taiji already felt that if he could not arrange the affairs behind him well, the Qing Dynasty might encounter a major crisis. Once the high-level Manchurians had internal strife due to the struggle for the throne, the Qing Dynasty would collapse in the shortest possible time . [

Huang Taiji, who has experienced power struggles, is very aware of the stakes here.

In terms of army arrangements, Huang Taiji also began to pay attention. In addition to firmly grasping the Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, and Zhenglan Banner, he also took advantage of the opportunity to grasp the Xianghong Banner, and the Xianglan Banner also supported him. The red flag is also under the control of Huang Taiji. It can be said that Dorgon is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the strength of the army.

The issue of successors was the most troublesome issue for Huang Taiji.

According to his age, the time has come to confirm the candidate for the crown prince, but Huang Taiji has been reluctant to announce the candidate. He is a little worried. Among his sons, the best candidate is Hauge.

It's a pity that Hauge lacks scheming, accurate judgment, and what's more lacking is a soft heart.

This cannot be completely blamed on Hauge.

Hauge is older than Dorgon, and he has been fighting with him since he was a child. He has rarely been exposed to power struggles, and has become the target of attacks from others. Besides, Hauge grew up in a military camp. His personality is bold and tends to be irritable, so it goes without saying about his military exploits.

As his body weakened day by day, Huang Taiji urgently felt that it was necessary to establish a crown prince. This matter could not be delayed, otherwise something unexpected would happen to him, and it would be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to stabilize.

If you want to secure the position of emperor, you first need the support of the army. Huang Taiji can guarantee that the Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner and Zhenglan Banner will absolutely support him. Once he has established a candidate for the crown prince, they will also fully support him. It's hard to say, and there may be changes. For example, Daishan may not participate in the battle. Jierhalang's attitude may not be completely clear. Under such conditions, Hauge may not be able to sit still. Stabilize the position of the emperor.

The second is ability and military merit. In these two aspects, Dorgon is superior to Hauge. At least the dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty know this way. Under the circumstances, the reason why Hauge was asked to go to the grassland was because Huang Taiji thought that Hauge could make more contributions and be able to convince the public even more in the future.

On the one hand, Huang Taiji wanted to establish Hauge as the crown prince. On the other hand, Huang Taiji needed to use Dorgon's bravery to make contributions to the Qing Dynasty. These two aspects were somewhat contradictory. The wise Huang Taiji also felt that It's hard.

Huang Taiji once ridiculed that the Ming Dynasty's succession to the throne was not as good as one generation after another. At this time, he felt it himself and realized that this matter is by no means an easy one.

Huang Taiji even had a funny idea. If Su Tiancheng was his son, he would inherit the throne. No matter who he was, he would be convinced. Unfortunately, there is no such possibility.

It is said that talents are rare. At this time, Huang Taiji really understood.

In any case, Huang Taiji must make arrangements for his successor. He has almost always been successful in his life, and he must never make mistakes in the biggest thing, and he must do it beautifully.

How to better establish a successor has become the biggest matter of the Qing Dynasty. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m to read.)
