Chapter three hundred and seventieth Huang Taiji proclaimed emperor
Shenyang, Dazheng Palace.
Huang Taiji was sitting in the main hall, with hundreds of Manchu, Mongolian and Han ministers standing in awe on the left and right sides of his lower head. In the square outside the main hall, more civil and military ministers were standing in awe.
At the request of everyone, Huang Taiji finally decided to proclaim himself emperor.
In fact, this was also what Huang Taiji had in mind. Proclaiming himself emperor and establishing a country would be of great benefit to Hou Jin, and it was also of great significance to Huang Taiji himself.
The first person to notice and raise the issue was the Han minister Fan Wencheng.
Huang Taiji had to admire Fan Wencheng's thoughtfulness.
A large part of the reason why Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor was based on the future development of Hou Jin Dynasty.
To destroy the Ming Dynasty and establish a dynasty led by the Manchus was Huang Taiji's goal and the source of his struggle. Over the years, both Nurhaci and Huang Taiji have spared no effort to fight for this goal.
The power of the Hou Jin Dynasty gradually grew stronger, and it already had the strength to fully compete with the Ming Dynasty. After experiencing the Battle of Sarhu, the Battle of Daling River City and other battles, the strength of the Ming Dynasty was greatly weakened. The Hou Jin Dynasty was in Liaodong. Take complete initiative.
Problems and hidden worries also exist, that is, Houjin's economic strength is insufficient. Because it is located in the north and has a harsh climate, there are inherent defects in both agricultural production and business development, resulting in slow economic development and insufficient food production. In order to meet the demand, the soldiers of the Eight Banners entered the border several times to plunder, in fact, they wanted to supplement their own economic shortcomings.
Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor and Hou Jin founded the country, which would have all advantages and no disadvantages for future development.
Judging from the situation of the Later Jin Dynasty and the power distribution of the Manchu nobles, Huang Taiji had an absolute advantage. There was no force in the Later Jin Dynasty that could compete with it. Huang Taiji's authority had reached a sufficient level.
In the first month of the year, Fan Wencheng put forward the suggestion that Huang Taiji should be crowned emperor and the Later Jin Dynasty be founded, and he specially submitted a memorial. Later, Daishan, Dorgon, Duduo, Jierhalang, Hauge, and Azig , Abatai, Yue Tuo and others submitted memorials one after another, imploring Huang Taiji to proclaim himself emperor and establish the Kingdom of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Although Huang Taiji admired Han culture, he did not have as much thought as the Han people, and he quickly agreed to proclaim himself emperor and establish a country.
In early March, the literary hall of Hou Jin Dynasty was changed to the three inner academies, namely the Neiguo History Academy, the Inner Secretariat, and the Neihongwen Academy. After that, the Manchu and Han Dynasties were once again standardized, basically imitating the Ming Dynasty's Six Buddhism, and improving the system. The functions and institutions were changed, laying a solid foundation for Huang Taiji to proclaim himself emperor and build a country.
At the end of March, Huang Taiji worshiped heaven and earth to seek auspicious days in the zodiac.
All preparations have been completed.
Finally it came to April 11th in the ninth year of Chongzhen and April 11th in the tenth year of Jin Tiancong.
Chen hour.
Dabeile Daishan, holding a yellow silk in his hand, walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down in front of Huang Taiji.
"Great Khan, the auspicious time has come. On behalf of the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and the people of the world, I respectfully invite the Great Khan to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor..."
Everyone in the hall, including all the civil and military ministers outside the hall, knelt down.
"I respectfully invite the Great Khan to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor..."
The loud and neat voice carried far, far away.
Huang Taiji smiled and looked at the civil and military ministers who were kneeling below.
"Everyone, for the sake of our Houjin, for the future of our Manchu people, and in order to rule the world, today I obey God's will and decide to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor. You are all the contributors to the founding of our country. Together with you, I will create the glory of our Houjin." future..."
Daishan stood up, turned to face everyone, and opened the yellow silk in his hand.
"When the emperor ascends the throne, he kneels three times and kowtows nine times..."
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor..."
Daishan and everyone performed the ritual of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.
After the salute, Daishan stood up and opened the yellow silk in his hand again.
"On April 11, the tenth year of Tiancong, the emperor ascended the throne and announced to the world that he established the country as Qing Dynasty, changed the family name to Manchuria, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chongde. This year was regarded as the first year of Chongde, and his father Nurhachi was honored as Chengtian. Guangyun's holy virtues and divine achievements established the extremely benevolent and Xiaowu Emperor, with the temple name Taizu, and his grandfather and ancestor were all revered as kings..."
"The Qing Dynasty established its capital in Shenyang, officially changed Shenyang to Shengjing, and announced it to the world."
"The civil and military ministers of the DPRK and the people of the world sincerely request that the emperor be called the Kuanwenrenrensheng Emperor."
"The emperor's accession to the throne marks the golden age of our Qing Dynasty. The emperor has decided to grant amnesty to the whole world."
...
"After announcing the edict, kneel down three times and kowtow nine times again..."
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor..."
The loud and neat voice sounded again, and there was a crowd of people kneeling inside and outside the hall.
In an instant, Huang Taiji's expression changed significantly, and a halo even appeared around him.
When he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor and founded the country, Huang Taiji did what his father Nurhaci failed to do. From this perspective, he surpassed his father Nurhachi.
Only half an hour after Daishan read out the imperial edict, Huang Taiji had already made a magnificent turn, from the Great Khan of Hou Jin Dynasty to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Such a change means that the Qing Dynasty has officially established the Ming Dynasty as its opponent. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. The ultimate goal of the Qing Dynasty is to destroy the Ming Dynasty and unify the world. Huang Taiji will also devote all his efforts towards this goal.
The Qing Dynasty was the Qing Dynasty of the Manchus, and it was also the Qing Dynasty that ruled the world and was proudly independent.
...
Huang Taiji ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The next step was to confer princes, county princes, Baylor, etc.
The lord of the pure red flag and the inlaid red flag are Daishan, who is conferred the title of Prince Heshuoli, the head of many princes. The lord of the pure white flag is Dorgon, who is conferred the title of Prince Heshuorui. The lord of the inlaid white flag is Duduo, who is conferred the title of Prince Heshuo Yu. Jierharang, the leader of the blue flag, was granted the title Prince Heshuo Zheng, Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge was granted the title Prince Heshuo Su, Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo was granted the title Prince Heshuocheng.
The six princes were at the pinnacle of power in the Qing Dynasty.
Azige conferred the title of Prince of Duoluowuying County.
Abatai and Dudu conferred the title of Dorobele.
These Manchu nobles formed the basic structure of power in the Qing Dynasty.
Fan Wencheng was awarded the title of Bachelor of Science. He had the highest status and the most trust in the Qing court.
Of course, when Huang Taiji ascended the throne and became Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, he basically had little to do with the Han people. The Qing Dynasty at this time was the Qing Dynasty of the Manchus.
When Huang Taiji founded the country, its etiquette was basically modeled on that of the Ming Dynasty, but the rules were very strict. The Manchu nobles were the masters of the Qing Dynasty, and a few Mongolian nobles were also regarded as the masters of the Qing Dynasty. Semu people, Han people, etc. were all slaves. If After being rewarded by the master, you can become a slave, and this rule will last forever and cannot be changed.
...
The ceremony for Huang Taiji's enthronement and founding of the country lasted for a full twenty-five days.
The eighth day of May, Dazheng Hall.
The founding ceremony of the Qing Dynasty ended.
Prince Li Daishan, Prince Rui Dorgon, Prince Yu Duduo, Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Su Hauge, Prince Cheng Yuetuo, Prince Wuying Azige, Duorobele Abatai, Dudu, and the bachelor Fan Wencheng and others all stood in awe in the main hall.
Huang Taiji had long planned a major action to celebrate the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and today he summoned everyone to discuss it.
Huang Taiji entered the hall, and everyone knelt down to worship.
Huang Taiji waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand up. He had just ascended the throne and was not particularly adapted to such an occasion.
"I am convening you today mainly to discuss the matter of attacking the Ming Dynasty. This attack on the Ming Dynasty is to show the majesty of our Qing Dynasty. We must achieve a complete victory. In addition, I am also considering taking over North Korea in the east. North Korea is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.
The country has repeatedly harassed the rear of the Qing Dynasty, and by taking North Korea, the east side of the Qing Dynasty will be safe..."
To attack the Ming Dynasty, you must send a large army, and when you send a large army you must have a commander.
Huang Taiji had already considered it.
"I have decided to lead one hundred thousand soldiers of the Eight Banners, Azige, the king of Wuying County, with the assistance of Abatai, and enter the pass to attack the Ming Dynasty. The Zhenghong Banner and the Xianghong Banner will each send 20,000 troops, and the Zhengbai Banner and the Xiangbai Banner will each send 20,000 troops.
Xianglan Banner sent 20,000 troops, and within twenty days, the soldiers of each banner made all preparations for the expedition."
"In order to ensure that Azig and Abatai led the army to enter the pass smoothly, Dorgon and Duoduo led troops to pretend to attack the Guangningjin defense line of the Ming Dynasty, and firmly held back the sergeants of the Ming Dynasty border army."
"The attack on North Korea will be planned after Azig's battle in the Ming Dynasty is completed."
...
After Huang Taiji's arrangements were completed, the slick Daishan spoke first.
"I fully agree with the emperor's arrangements. I feel that we should pay attention to the new Denglai army in the Denglai area of the Ming Dynasty to prevent them from launching attacks from Gaizhou and Haizhou. After Azig's battle in the Ming Dynasty is completed, the Eight Banners
When the army conquered North Korea, it first wiped out the Denglai New Army stationed in Lushun Island, Jinzhou, Pidao and other places."
Huang Taiji nodded. In fact, he also had such thoughts.
Fuzhou, Yongning, Gaizhou and other cities have not looked at the stationed sergeants so far, just to prepare for Denglai's new army.
"My second brother is right. I have also considered it. When North Korea is conquered, North Korea will definitely ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will definitely send Denglai's new army stationed on Lushun Island, Jinzhou and Pi Island to help. At that time,
I will personally lead the army and completely annihilate the new army of Denglai."
...
Azig and Abatai stayed behind, and the others left the Dazheng Hall.
Azig, who has always been arrogant, was particularly respectful at this moment.
Ordinarily, any prince could lead the army in such an important battle. It was not his turn as the county king, but the emperor arranged for him to be the commander-in-chief, leading one hundred thousand soldiers of the Eight Banners.
"Twelfth brother, seventh brother, this time we entered the pass to attack the Ming Dynasty in order to show the majesty of our Qing Dynasty. Weakening the strength of the Ming Dynasty is the first task. My idea is not to be limited to attacking the city. The attack needs to be quick and decisive, and can attack
It's better to go down to the city, don't force it if you can't capture it, you must remember this."
"We must pay more attention to the distribution of money. We must not miss the important event of conquest because our soldiers are too obsessed with money."
"Twelfth brother, seventh brother, I hope you can show your power and completely disrupt the Ming Dynasty's capital."
...
After Azig and Abata left, Huang Taiji's expression became solemn.
Azig, Dorgon and Duoduo, three brothers, if they unite, they will be a threat to Huang Taiji. When Huang Taiji became the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, Dorgon and Duoduo were still young and not enough to
However, Azig was different. He had grown up. Now, Dorgon and Duoduo had also grown up. Fortunately, they were loyal and Huang Taiji was quite relieved.
