Ming politicians

(Thank you for choosing the middle route for neither left nor right, always learning, k33102219 for casting a valuable monthly ticket, thank you for the reward for choosing the middle route for neither left nor right, thank you.)

During half a year in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Jierhalang had tasted all the ups and downs. This kind of groveling and negotiating taste was very uncomfortable, but Jierhalang knew very well that everything he did was to buy time for the Qing Dynasty. And to some extent, if this negotiation can go smoothly, it may cause some changes in the Ming court.

Jierhalang is the plenipotentiary representative, and there is no need to ask for instructions or report on matters of negotiation, and the decision can be made directly. However, in order to delay time, Jierhalang still pretended to report, and repeatedly repeated many minor issues. Replying means asking for instructions and reporting, and I can't make a decision casually.

The negotiation continued until later, and even Jierharang himself felt that there was no need to continue this ridiculous farce. Anyway, the negotiation was useless, and Huang Taiji would not implement it. The conditions proposed by the Ming court, although Just agree, it's nothing special, so at the later stage of the negotiation, including the restoration of Jianzhou Guard, including the abolition of the Qing Dynasty and other conditions, Jierhalang agreed with all his brains, and he also thought about returning to Shenyang as soon as possible.

Just as the negotiations were coming to an end, Jierharang received a secret letter from Huang Taiji.

The secret letter mentioned three things. The first thing was the establishment of the crown prince. Huang Taiji was going to establish Hauge as the crown prince. The second thing was about the Jiangning camp's conquest of the grasslands, including the complete annihilation of the Chahar tribe. , The grassland is undergoing tremendous changes. The third matter is related to the negotiation. It should be concluded as soon as possible, and there is no need to continue to delay.

Except for the third thing.The other two things shocked Jierhalang greatly.

Hauge's appointment as the crown prince, that is, the future emperor, may have a certain impact on the future stability of the Qing Dynasty. The relationship between Hauge and Dorgon is not very good.Especially after Huang Taiji's sudden coma last time, Hauge even had a verbal conflict with Dorgon.Ji Erhalang is very clear that Dorgon is absolutely obedient to Huang Taiji. No matter in terms of prestige and ability, Dorgon cannot match Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji trusts Dorgon. Such a relationship , can be maintained for a long time, but once Huang Taiji and Long Yu return to heaven.Then it is not clear.

Dorgon is definitely not convinced by Hauge. Once Hauge ascends to the throne of the emperor, it is not clear whether Dorgon will be liquidated, or Dorgon will rise up to resist, or even start anew. matter.

However, Huang Taiji now puts Hauge on the horse, takes Hauge to familiarize himself with the affairs of the court, and slowly establishes prestige for Hauge.Maybe things will turn around.

Anyway, Hauge became Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty.There may be turmoil in the situation, which must be taken seriously. Presumably, Huang Taiji has also made full preparations.

Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion to attack the grassland tribes and wiped out the Chahar tribes.The impact on the grassland tribes is huge, and it will definitely change the situation in the grasslands. The pattern of the Qing Dynasty ruling the grasslands will undergo huge changes, and the attitudes of some grassland tribes will undergo fundamental changes.

It has been a long time in the capital of Ming Dynasty.Jierhalang also heard a lot about Su Tiancheng, knowing that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty trusted Su Tiancheng very much. Among the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Su Tiancheng was the only one who led the army and fought outside. , has never appeared in the history of the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen from this that Su Tiancheng's position in the Ming Dynasty is very stable. Such a situation is extremely unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty.

Sometimes, Jierhalang also analyzed Su Tiancheng, saying that Su Tiancheng was also a miracle of the Ming court. He was ranked second in the imperial examination, but he had never been an official in the court. Many civil and military ministers in the imperial court, about Su Tiancheng's deeds of exterminating the bandits of the Ming Dynasty, many storytellers in restaurants and teahouses, all talked about these things. Su Tiancheng's wisdom and accuracy of prediction made Ji Er Harlan felt surprised and chilled.

On behalf of the Qing Dynasty, when Ji Erhalang went to the Ming capital to negotiate, it should be the time when both sides died down, but at this time, Su Tiancheng led the army to go to the grasslands to conquer, which disrupted the deployment of the Qing Dynasty and Huang Taiji's plan. The plan, this time-delaying move, could not be fully realized.

Ji Erhalang is very clear about the two purposes of Huang Taiji. On the one hand, it is to gain time to breathe and to gather strength; Emperor Chongzhen, let Emperor Chongzhen feel suspicious of Su Tiancheng, who is in power. You must know that Su Tiancheng's power is too great, and he must be threatening the imperial power. As long as Emperor Chongzhen feels that there is no threat, he may clean up the interior. up.

Unfortunately, there are no signs of these two things.

Every time Su Tiancheng took action, he was able to grasp the key points. For example, when he conquered the grassland, the grassland tribes were an important support for the Qing Dynasty. If there were any changes in the grassland, the strength of the Qing Dynasty would be greatly weakened. After the secret letter, Jierhalang once lodged a protest against the Ming army's attack on the grassland. Unfortunately, the Ming court did not recognize the Qing Dynasty at all, and it would not recognize that the grassland belonged to the Qing Dynasty.

Jierhalang didn't know what kind of preparations Huang Taiji was still making. Although Huang Taiji's secret letter did not include a name-calling attitude, he knew that he had to leave the Ming capital immediately. When the news of Taiji came, I couldn't explain it, and the Ming court would doubt the sincerity of the negotiations.

After more than half a year, Jierhalang became a little disheartened, and the negotiations did not achieve any real results, because Su Tiancheng conquered the grasslands, so this negotiation was regarded as a joke.

At the end of March, Jierhalang proposed that the negotiation could be over. After signing the document, he would return to Shenyang and start to implement these decisions.

The Ming officials who were in charge of the negotiation were of course happy. It can be said that the negotiation this time was much better than expected. Although the negotiation took a long time and there were many disputes between the two sides over many issues, the result was disappointing. Satisfied, Jierhalang, on behalf of Hou Jin, agreed to almost all the requests, especially the proposal to restore Jianzhou Guard. You must know that after the restoration of Jianzhou Guard, the station of the guard will be Shenyang.

The officials in charge of negotiations in the Ming Dynasty never mentioned the Qing Dynasty, which was not part of the negotiations, and the Ming court did not recognize the Qing Dynasty at all.

Jierharang must also consider the attitude of returning to Shenyang.

A few days ago, he received a secret letter from Dorgon, which had never happened before. In the secret letter, although Dorgon did not clearly state the affairs of Hauge and the crown prince, his tone was dissatisfied. , I think Hauge has many flaws, and I think I have made great contributions to my establishment.

Dorgon's attitude worried Jierharang. He had heard several times that Huang Taiji's health was not very good, and even when he was in court, he was occasionally unable to persist. You must know that Huang Taiji was A very strong person is not really unable to stand up, but will never show weakness.

In fact, Jierharang had already expressed his attitude to Huang Taiji, and he must support Hauge, that is, to support the decision made by Huang Taiji. I believe that he is not the only one who expressed his position in this way.

Huang Taiji's attitude, even though he is in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Jierhalang can understand that Hauge led the army to go to the grassland to deal with Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning camp. This is a very clear attitude. For the Qing Dynasty, the grassland tribes It is too important to let Hauge go to the grassland to get acquainted with the leaders of the grassland tribes and establish an unusual relationship, that is, to gain support. From the perspective of actual combat capabilities, this kind of conquest should be led by Dorgon .

In the Qing Dynasty, those who mastered the eight banners were the top among the real dignitaries.

Huang Taiji was in charge of the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang flags himself, Daishan was in charge of the Zhenghong and Xianghong flags, Dorgon was in charge of the Zhengbai flag, Duoduo was in charge of the Bordered white flag, Haoge was in charge of the Zhenglan flag, and he himself was in charge of the Bordered blue flag.

These six people are the top dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty.

As the crown prince, Hauge can directly control the Zhenghuang Banner, Bordered Yellow Banner and Zhenglan Banner, which are not weak, but Zhengbai Banner and Bordered White Banner may not be completely obeyed.

At this time, Daishan and Ji Erhalang are very important figures.

Daishan's attitude must be to support Huang Taiji. Ever since Zhenghongqi suffered a devastating blow and Daishan returned to Shenyang from the capital of Ming Dynasty, Ji Erhalang felt that Daishan's attitude had completely changed. That kind of detached attitude no longer exists, and Huang Taiji's worries about Daishan have also obviously weakened. Huang Taiji determined that Hauge is the crown prince, and Daishan definitely agrees and fully supports it. Unfortunately, there are still some mysteries in it. , that is the power of Daishan, which is not as good as before.

In this case, Jierharang's attitude is very critical.

Of course, Jierhalang supported Huang Taiji. From his own experience, Jierhalang had too much experience. The struggle at the top of the Qing Dynasty was also fierce and should not be underestimated. He will be ruined, and Jierhalang has always been able to control himself when it comes to major issues of right and wrong.

Due to the urgency of time, at the end of March, Jierhalang concluded all negotiations, signed the document on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, sent the document to Shenyang, and waited for Huang Taiji to sign it, while he began to prepare to leave.

While waiting, Jierhalang had already made a choice. After returning to Shenyang, he would immediately express his support for Huang Taiji and Hauge. (To be continued..)
