Chapter 343: The state has a father, looking south and looking north

In the years when Nurhaci had just started his army, the entire Jurchen tribe was still a complete military group. Everything was for war and plunder. It had a delicate structure and fast movements. Although it might not be the right direction, it was always full of motivation.

However, today, under the unified governance of Huang Taiji, the Manchu Jurchens outside the pass gradually formed a group similar to a normal country. The newly established Qing Dynasty really had a shell of a country, civil affairs, military affairs and politics gradually became regularized.

Of course, as the country continues to expand and the slaves continue to increase, the relatives and nobles have been in military service for decades, and when they get old, they finally have the capital to enjoy. Naturally, some lazy things have begun to appear. There are two opera troupes sent by merchants from the Ming Dynasty in Prince Rui. Every now and then, Duoduo, Ajige and two relatives of the white flag gather together to watch operas and banquets. According to rumors, when these people gather together, they like to imitate the Han dress, wearing long robes, silk robes, four square scarves, and pedals, instead of arrow clothes, breeches, warm hats and horse boots.

Liaodong is bitter and cold, and life is difficult. Men have always liked things in the cup. Now in Shengjing, banquets and carnivals have become the norm, and the extravagant atmosphere has gradually spread. Many noble people also like to eat fine and expensive food like the Han people in the Southern Dynasty, and they are no longer willing to live in the wild with a few kilograms of fried rice. However, Dorgon, the head of the Qing Dynasty, was different from them, but he acted quite well.

Since Huang Taiji returned from Songshan, Concubine Chen died of illness and her health was severely damaged, Dorgon has never listened to operas in the mansion and stopped having fun and entertainment. He went to court every day to leave the court, and he was very respectful to greet his parents and care about Huang Taiji's condition.

For Dorgon's performance, the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners, the Han people in the Eight Banners and the Sanshun Kings system all praised each other in unison. Then, I even wrote articles that were very similar and non-consistent.

For a time, the reputation of the Qing Dynasty's No. 1 wise king spread across the pass and Mongolia, but Prince Rui Dorgon was still very low-key. Anyone who said this "No. 1 wise king" in person must have been criticized heavily. It is said that Duoduo was whipped by him a few times.

Before Huang Taiji got sick, Dorgon's status in the Qing Dynasty was like the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he had many powers and affairs. However, after he got sick, he handed over these positions to other banners to manage, becoming more humble and low-key. At the beginning, Dodo and Ajige were full of resentment, saying that our two white banners had been angry for so many years and had finally lived a good life, so he had to hand them back. Why?

However, after a private banquet in the mansion of the three brothers, Duoduo and Ajige had nothing to say. Even Duoduo, who had always been doing bad things in the city, was much more restrained.

The battle for seizing the throne after the death of the Khan and the death of the concubine Abahai were always the bones in everyone's throats. Originally, the big men of the Two Yellow Banners and Two Red Banners were very alert to the Two White Banners after Huang Taiji was sick, fearing that the three brothers would have the idea of ​​revenge, but the three Dorgon brothers were so introverted and humble that the great people were surprised that they were not good at dealing with them.

Before Huang Taiji was seriously ill, Dorgon took over the power, and when he went out, he was in charge of the military. When he went in, he was favored and hated by many people. After Huang Taiji was seriously ill, Dorgon's performance was appreciated by everyone and his reputation became increasingly high.

Prince Li Daishan has always been known for his humility and has always been the adhesive and lubricant in the royal family. Among the sons of Nurhacidi, he had the closest relationship with Huang Taiji. It was also because of his firm support that he ensured the establishment of Huang Taiji's leadership status. He had a higher reputation for Dorgon. He remained silent, but those who were interested noticed that he visited the palace a lot of times. Compared with common sense, he went there too many times.

"Your Majesty, counting the time, Abatai should be here today."

Shengjing was already a little warm in mid-April, but Huang Taiji was weak and still burned a fire wall in his bedroom. Dai Shan was still sitting on a round stool beside the kang like last time. There were only two of them in the room. The eunuchs and the guards on duty were driven far away. This was also a favor that only Dai Shan brother could enjoy.

Huang Taiji's complexion was better. He was not as pale as before. He gradually had blood on his face. His robe was neatly dressed and leaned against the kang cabinet. He was usually an extremely reserved person. He didn't want others to see him powerless when he moved or lie down. He could only let go in front of his elder brother, and he would sit really lazy. If he was in front of others, even if he was lazy, he would actually let everyone know that everything was in control and relaxed, which meant his confidence and strength. He heard Dai Shan's words, nodded and asked in a low voice:

"The last time I sent the news from Shanxi, it was said that the south side was going to start fighting. Is there any new news these days?"

Prince Li Dai Shan sat there and shook his head. After a while of silence, Dai Shan hesitated and said:

"Your Majesty, the two white flags are silent and seem very respectful, but I am still worried. You know, the dog biting people does not bark. You have to think of a way to make Dorgon less mindful, otherwise you will be in circle now..."

This meaning of being unfulfilled is of course referring to Huang Taiji's death. Of course, it is impossible to express the fact that Dai Shan has a special identity, so he speaks a little more sensible. Although everyone says that the emperor has been around for thousands of years, looking at Huang Taiji's appearance, no one knows that it will not last long.

The expression on Huang Taiji's face did not change much, but his nostrils were left with two blood without control. Everyone was accustomed to this state. Huang Taiji picked up a hand towel at his hand, covered his mouth and nose, and said in a muffled voice:

"The two white flags are well managed, and they have become more and more united in recent years. If Dorgon is involved, the two white flags will definitely cause trouble..."

While talking, Dai Shan could see the towel on Huang Taiji's hand turn red. Huang Taiji stopped talking and quickly changed a hand towel. Seeing this scene, Dai Shan only felt a sore nose, and quickly lowered his head to control his emotions. Huang Taiji changed a hand towel and continued slowly:

"We are just the only people in Manchu Jurchens, and we cannot afford to lose. The Han people in the south are now out of power, but if they recover, their soldiers, horses, money, food and weapons are inexhaustible. This small place outside the pass, which is ice and snowy, cannot support it anyway... We Manchus cannot fight by ourselves. We must use all our energy on the Han people and conquer the Ming Dynasty. If the place is bigger and the population is more, the Eight Banners will be divided by themselves, so there is no need to make trouble."

As he said these words, Huang Taiji's nose bleeding gradually stopped, and his spirit seemed to have risen a little. Dai Shan sighed and continued to whisper:

"Your Majesty, that's what he said, but this is not a long-term solution. Then Dorgon has been respectful for so many years. But he must have hatred in his heart. If you..., I'm afraid that if our flags don't move, he will move. At that time, two yellow flags and two red flags?"

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's nose bleeding could not be stopped. His problem was that he could not move his breath. When there was a slight fluctuation of emotions, he started to bleed. After the shaman invited the gods, he invited the old doctor of the Han Dynasty to see it. He said that when he was young, he had to fight everywhere and injured his body, and his qi and blood could not be stable. Now that he is old, he can no longer stabilize and has no strength to recover.

"Of course Dorgon hated him. It was me who forced his mother to bury his father Khan. Do you think Jirgalang really didn't think about anything? His father Khan died of his father, and his brother died of his brother. His father confessed his guilt and was banned in order to protect him. What do you think he thinks... They are all wolf cubs. Those who are not well-raised, as long as you turn around and slack, they will definitely bite you."

In the years before Nurhaci's death, Dorgon was the most favored person, who was also the heir to inherit the Khan throne. The two white flags that Nurhaci personally took were also handed over to Dorgon and the two brothers of Dodo.

Moreover, Dorgon's mother, Abahai, had a noble status, and Jurchen inheritance, paid attention to the son's value as his mother's value. At that time, most of the mothers of Nurhaci's sons in other places were powerless. No matter how you look at it, Dorgon hoped the greatest. However, Huang Taiji and Daishan joined forces to force Abahai to bury Nurhaci for his death. He ascended the throne with the support of the two yellow flags, the two red flags and the blue flags, and later ascended the throne to the throne.

Dorgon has always been deeply guarded by Huang Taiji, but Huang Taiji is a monarch who meets once in a thousand years among the barbarians. He is naturally not afraid of Dorgon's success. Dorgon himself is also cautious, and he is indeed intelligent and a rare talent among the Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty. This made him climb up step by step.

But in this process, Huang Taiji has been suppressing the power of splitting the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner. Dodo and Ajige, born to Dorgon's mother, have not been promoted as much as they should. He has always been caught by him and punished for some trivial matters. He has been punished half a Niulu today and one Niulu tomorrow, thinking about slowly cutting off their wings.

However, in recent years, the older generation has gradually withered. Dorgon's position in the Qing Dynasty political circle became increasingly important. He had become generals and ministers, and his authority grew. The two white flag forces that had been disbanded were integrated by him. Dodo and Ajige also climbed step by step. However, Dorgon made great contributions repeatedly. Among the powerful people of the Eight Banners, he was very proud, cautious, and never made mistakes. Both sides already had such a status. Huang Taiji could not punish the other party without any mistakes.

What's more, Dorgon is already full of wings and cannot be touched easily.

As for Prince Zheng, the banner owner of the blue flag, he stood aside with Huang Taiji in all major events. However, Jirhalang's father Shurhalchi was Nurhaci's younger brother, but he was nailed into a wooden box by Nurhaci, and he drowned in it and was trapped to death.

Jirgalang's brother Amin was also banned by Huang Taiji for being domineering and was banned from death for his crimes. This treatment was better than his father, so he was locked up in a room and was not allowed to enter and exit.

The biological father and brother died at the hands of Huang Taiji. How could Prince Zheng Jier Harang remain indifferent? It’s just that Huang Taiji and Daishan are unbreakable alliances. The two yellow flags and two red flags have a total of four flags and land power. With the Han army flag and Sanshun King, Xu Shungong’s power is far beyond his ability. He can only be respectful.

In recent years, Dorgon has been in charge of the government affairs of the Qing Dynasty and is humble and intelligent. He has more and more contacts with the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and King of the Sanshun and Duke Xu Shun. In addition, his mother Abahai's identity, Korqin, Chahar, Doyan and other Mongolian tribes are also very close to him, and the contrast of this power has gradually been brought closer.

Daishan is quite old now. If he kicks his legs, he will have to do some housework by himself. Huang Taiji's health is like this again. Huang Taiji and Daishan's power want to suppress Dorgon. It is no longer safe. Seeing that Huang Taiji's health is getting worse and worse, time is getting more and more urgent, Daishan is asking Huang Taiji to make an idea.

The nosebleed stopped flowing, but Huang Taiji's face turned pale, and his steady breathing became a little heavy. He spoke for a while:

"Haoge is a child with a weak temperament and cannot suppress the Zhenglan Banner. Even many people in the two yellow Banners are dissatisfied with him. If I am not here, he cannot suppress the scene. But I am unwilling to do anything to Dorgon. Manchuria cannot be in chaos. We started with our ancestors and have been in this cold place for many years. Now I think the destiny is in our Qing Dynasty. The power of our Manchu Warriors cannot be depleted at all, and we will fight against the Han people in one rope."

Daishan stopped talking anymore. He looked at the weak Huang Taiji, and his heart was mixed. After Chu Ying was deposed, Daishan was the oldest son and had outstanding achievements. He had the opportunity to inherit the throne of Khan at that time, but he was willing to assist Huang Taiji. It was because he admired this younger brother and felt that the Manchu Jurchens would have a bright future under the leadership of Huang Taiji.

Today's conversation strengthened his view, but the future situation is really dangerous, and it is not okay to not consider it. Huang Taiji suddenly changed the topic and said:

"I did something wrong. I shouldn't have sent Dorgon to the pass two years ago. Not only did the population and slaves in other places increase a lot, but his reputation and contribution also increased significantly. Alas..."

Hearing these words, Dai Shan also sighed. When Huang Taiji was in good health, who would have thought that this situation would be today?

At this moment, I heard a loud message from the guards outside:

"Doro Raoyubele Abatai, please see him at the commandment!!"

Huang Taiji sat upright with his arms and said to Dai Shan:

"Second brother, let's say he comes in!"

Speaking of which, Jia Dashan is also rushing in Henan. When he arrived in Jining Prefecture, he was so tired that he was not very tired. He was still in his prime. Abatai was in his fifties and nearly sixty years old. The journey was longer than Jia Dashan. He also changed his horses and walked quickly. He kept stopping. When he walked into this room, he was not afraid of any fatigue.

Compared with the fishing and hunting nations that have been piracy for a long time, there is indeed a gap in combat quality. This comparison can be suppressed by advanced technology or better organization. However, the Ming Dynasty currently has no advantage at all: artillery and weapon craftsmen were brought outside the pass by Kong Youde; as for organization, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were obviously more efficient than the Ming Dynasty court, which is currently like a pile of sand.

Abatai entered the room and saw Huang Taiji who was weak on the kang and Dai Shan, Prince Li who was sitting aside, quickly shook off his horse's hooves, kneeled down and said loudly:

"My dear Abatae, please respectfully ask the Holy An, long live my emperor."

Three kowtows and nine bows were all done in a real way. After getting up, he turned around and bent down to hit Prince Dai Shan, and said respectfully:

"I have met Prince Li, I would like to pay my respects to you."

Dai Shan nodded. Although they were all Nurha's sons, they and the three Dorgon brothers were still as enemies as enemies, so they were guarding against each other. They could not say that they had any brotherhood towards this illegitimate Abatai, and nodded coldly.

Abatai was afraid of himself, the younger brother of the emperor, and Prince Li Daishan, the older brother. Huang Taiji asked him to stand up. Abatai stood up with his hands and feet and stepped aside, not knowing what to do.

"Brother Seven, I'm sorry for you over the years!"

The room was quiet for a while, suddenly, Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the kang, suddenly said something like this: Huang Taiji is Nurhaci's eighth son, Abatai is the seventh son, and Daishan is the second son, so this sentence "Seventh Brother" is also called.

However, when Abatai, who was standing there, heard this, despite the warmth in the house, he suddenly shivered and took a step back. Looking at Dai Shan’s indifferent face, Abatai knelt down again and kowtowed repeatedly. Although the ground was covered with thick fur, it still made a thump.

Abatai wanted to open his mouth and say a few words, but he couldn't say a word. Although he was beaten to death outside, he was considered a powerful general who crawled out of the dead, but he was scared by Huang Taiji's sudden name.

Seeing Abatai's appearance, Huang Taiji smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth and said in a slow voice:

"Brother Seven, I have been suppressing you all these years. You were resentful back then, and you also complained a lot after hearing that you were outside."

Prince Li Dai Shan snorted coldly. Abatai was even more scattered, kowtowed repeatedly, and asked with hissing:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have always been unable to control my mouth. I have been accustomed to the local despicable for many years. I dare not have any resentment in my heart. I hope Your Majesty will be clear. I have always been loyal and loyal..."

"Brother Seven, don't be afraid, stand up and talk!"

Huang Taiji still said with a smile, but Abatai kowtowed and did not hear it. Prince Li Daishan couldn't stand it and said coldly, "The Emperor asked you to stand up!" After Abatai heard it, he was shocked and scared, so he had to stand up tremblingly.

"Brother Seven, I have seen all your contributions over the years. Think about the years before. I am indeed a little harsh on you..."

"Your Majesty is so serious. Whatever Your Majesty does is for the good of our Qing Dynasty. I will never dare to complain. Every sentence is the truth. If there is a half false statement, it will be struck by lightning."

Although Abatai stood up, bowed his head and curled up there, which was already scared. Huang Taiji had a gentle smile on his face, and his nose bleeding did not flow, and he said warmly:

"This time I hurriedly pulled you back from Xingshan. There was an errand to send you. Last time Dorgon came back from the pass, most of the population and livestock he brought back were divided by two white flags. None of the other flags sent to the military have gained any benefits. The years of our Manzhou in the past two years have not been good. I am thinking about it and arrange for you to take your troops to the pass. I will bring back some things and subsidy."

Huang Taiji's voice was very low, but Abatai suddenly looked up. He didn't care about any etiquette and etiquette. For the Eight Banners of Manzhou, going to the pass was like hunting, with no risk at all, but the harvest was a large number of slaves, livestock and gold and silver, which were of many benefits.

And whoever went to Guannei once, after returning to Manzhou, had a great reputation. He was considered a hero and a pillar of the Qing Dynasty. At present, the Dorgon brothers had this opportunity. As a result, the two white flags are now the richest among the Eight Banners. Many sects have hundreds of Han people at home. Generally, the armored sects have several Han servants. The sects and the like often wear satin clothes and carry Han jade snuff bottles to sway the market, which made others jealous.

Among the Eight Banners, Dorobel and above all wanted to lead their troops to the Ming Dynasty in the pass, but the soldiers and horses in the Qing Dynasty also needed to rest and recuperate. Originally, in the sixth year of Chongde (the reign of the Qing Dynasty) they might have asked Dodo to lead their troops into the pass, but because of the Songshan incident, most of the power of the Eight Banners was mobilized, so they did not make a move.

After a year of rest, some princes and Belle began to prepare for activities. As a general, Abatai had followed him into the customs twice, making some money and making some contributions.

However, I never thought about the fact that I was leading the troops alone to fight. I was just a small beller, with many princes and princes in front of me, and Huang Taiji's own biological son lined up in front of me. I couldn't even line up here in terms of grades and relatives. But today's good things, after Huang Taiji said it personally, fell on his head. This was really the sun came out from the west, and the anxiety of entering the room to the present state of mind, which was unacceptable.

Looking at Abatai looking up at him in a daze, Dai Shan frowned, thinking that he was already in his fifties, but he was so unscrupulous, but Huang Taiji was still smiling. At this time, he was in good condition and had no nose bleeding, which meant that his mentality was very stable and peaceful.

"That boy Haoge is frivolous. Zhenglan Banner has always been in trouble. When Brother Qi comes back from the Ming Dynasty this time, I will discuss with the banner owners of each banner and take you to be the banner owner of Zhenglan Banner. After all, our brothers are about the same age and are also considerate."

After these words, Abatai was really like five thunders thunders, so excited that he couldn't help himself. Currently, Huang Taiji personally took over the two yellow flags. His son Haoge was in charge of the Zhenglan flag, and his family was in charge of the three flags. The authority of the emperor always came from the advantage of power. Abatai was also a person under the Zhenglan flag. Sometimes he complained, thinking that his uncle was actually controlled by his nephew, where was his moral integrity?

However, this complaint is to complain with his family. Even if anyone has a louder voice, he would be so scared that he would quickly cover his mouth. Huang Taiji is the emperor, so he dares to fight with him and put it in his heart to make a thought, especially Huang Taiji's thundering method. He had already scared the relatives of the Eight Banners to bow their heads. What kind of heroes are Amin and Manguertai? What is the ending? Not to mention his own sesame, mung beans, small land beans.

Unexpectedly, today, good things came as if it was raining. First, he led the army into the pass and sent him a great fame and fortune, and then he was asked to control the Blue Banner and go to the pass once. It was almost certain that he made great contributions. According to Huang Taiji's promise, it was almost certain that he would return to the position of the Master of the Blue Banner.

After sitting in this banner master, it is possible to be a prince. Thinking about what Huang Taiji said when he entered the bedroom, Abatai was immediately moved and unconsciously knelt on the ground again, burst into tears and said with a sob:

"Emperor, I don't know the great kindness of the emperor to me, but I will definitely do it..."

This time, the kowtow was not for fear. But for gratitude, Abatai was already choking and unable to say a word, and was really excited.

"The two white flags came out of the pass this time. The remaining few flags were gathered together, just like the last time, and they should be sure."

After saying this, Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief and said again:

"Brother Seven, go back and take a break today. I will issue an order tomorrow. You can start to mobilize troops to prepare!"

Abatai kowtowed a few more times and reached out to wipe his tears. As soon as Xie An was about to go out, Huang Taiji called him again, raised his voice slightly and said:
To be continued...
