Chapter 497 Centralization

Fan Wencheng talked about Prince Li Daishan, and Huang Taiji's face turned gloomy.

Huang Taiji's look made Fan Wencheng at a loss, thinking that he had said something wrong. According to his understanding, Daishan was the most suitable negotiator. Daishan was the first prince of the Qing Dynasty, with a distinguished status, and Daishan had experienced

For many things, if you encounter an emergency situation, you also know how to deal with it.

Fan Wencheng never imagined that Huang Taiji was thinking of other things at this moment.

"Wen Cheng, keep talking, I'm listening."

The trembling Fan Wencheng really didn't know what to say, but Huang Taiji spoke, and he had to say it.

"Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness Prince Li is the best candidate. The main reason is that His Highness Prince Li is older and knows how to deal with the requirements put forward by Wu Zongrui, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, and can also deal with possible emergencies...

"

Huang Taiji waved his hand and suddenly changed the topic.

"Wen Cheng, you are a Han Chinese. Tell me about your understanding of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the court of the Ming Dynasty. I am a little curious. The relatives of the emperors and relatives of the Ming Dynasty were all suppressed to death and did not dare to do anything.

Do it and wait for death. Emperor Chongzhen should trust his brothers. Also, Emperor Chongzhen can deal with the civil and military ministers in the court at will. Why is that? Don't you think those civil and military ministers don't know how to object..."

Fan Wencheng was a little confused. He didn't understand what Huang Taiji meant for a while. He was really not familiar with Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty. According to his status as a member of the imperial family, he was not qualified to see Emperor Chongzhen at all, nor was he qualified.

Although he entered the imperial court, Fan Wencheng still read a lot of books over the years, and he also had his own analysis and insights into the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Emperor Chongzhen cannot compare with you, and the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty cannot compare with the many princes and princes..."

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng with a strange smile on his face.

Of course, there are some things that Huang Taiji will not say out loud. He wants to maintain the face of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, over the years, in order to maintain the stability of the regime and control the greatest power, he has spent countless efforts. Until he proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country, the situation was not bad.

, but a few months ago, due to the Battle of Liaodong, Huang Taiji was relieved of his position as the leader of the Duduo White Banner and took up the post himself, and the situation changed.

The Manchu Eight Banners was the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and the basis for the Qing Dynasty to grow and defeat the Ming Dynasty. However, the Manchu Eight Banners system was also the system that Huang Taiji was most worried about. When his father Nurhachi founded the Manchu Eight Banners, he established a series of clear and fixed

Although Huang Taiji ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country, he could not change the system of the Eight Banners.

The powerful Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty came from the Manchu Eight Banners.

The foundation cannot be shaken casually, especially when the Qing Dynasty is working hard to develop and try to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

Daishan controls the Zhenghong Banner and the Xianghong Banner, Dorgon controls the Zhengbai Banner, and Duduo controls the Xiangbai Banner. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Zhengbai Banner and the Xiangbai Banner are the most powerful. They are also one of the Eight Banners with the largest population and population, and can surpass

There are only white flags and white flags, and only yellow flags.

Once Daishan secretly unites with Dorgon and Duduo, it means that among the Eight Banners, the Zhengbai Banner, the Xiangbai Banner, the Zhenghong Banner and the Xianghong Banner will unite, and a major crisis may arise in the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji temporarily removed himself from the position of leader of the Duduo Baiqi Banner and assumed the position himself, which triggered a backlash between Daishan and Dorgon. Especially when Huang Taiji tried every means to adjust the Niuluo Banner Banner, Dorgon even went to Xiangbai Banner in person.

White flag, trying to stop this.

This made Huang Taiji extremely angry, but it was hard to lose his temper. After all, the system of the Eight Banners was determined by his father himself.

After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, Huang Taiji knew very well that only by controlling the army could he control power. Unfortunately, the reality of the Qing Dynasty was not like this. Not only did Huang Taiji control the army, but Daishan, Dorgon and Duduo also controlled them all.

army.

Huang Taiji, who studied and studied Han culture, felt that the situation in the Qing Dynasty was not good and had great disadvantages.

The system of the Manchu Eight Banners could not be abolished, nor could the rules of the Manchu Eight Banners be adjusted, or even the slightest change could be made. This made Huang Taiji distressed. The more power was dispersed, the more the development of the Qing Dynasty was hindered. Such a situation could not

Lasts for a long time.

That's why Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng. He knew that Fan Wencheng must have understood, but he didn't dare to speak casually.

Just when the side hall fell into silence, the guards came in to report that Prince Li and Prince Rui had arrived.

Huang Taiji showed a smile again.

"They're here so quickly. Let them wait at the Dazheng Hall. I'll be there right away."

The guards exited the side hall. Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng, sighed slightly, stood up, and walked towards the Dazheng Hall.

Fan Wencheng lowered his head and followed Huang Taiji, carefully reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He understood what Huang Taiji meant, but he would never dare to speak nonsense. In the Qing Dynasty today, Huang Taiji was in control of the situation.

, all the heroes, Daishan, Dorgon, Duduo, Haoge, Jierhalang, Azige and others, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. If it weren't for Huang Taiji's talent and strategy, no one would be able to conquer this.

Help people.

There is definitely no way to maintain this situation for a long time. It is normal for Huang Taiji to want to change this situation. Unfortunately, this is a rule set by Nurhaci, and his successor Huang Taiji does not dare to do it easily.

When Huang Taiji quickly walked into the Dazheng Hall, Daishan and Dorgon who were waiting both stood up and saluted.

"Second brother, fourteenth brother, why are you here at the Dazheng Hall during the big festival?"

As soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, Daishan spoke.

"Your Majesty, you are not resting, and I, Prince Rui, and others cannot neglect it. Recently, I have heard a lot of rumors from outside, mainly about my Eight Banners disciples and the Mongolian soldiers from the left and right battalions in the Liaodong War. I feel uneasy.

I came here specifically to pay homage to the emperor, and happened to meet Prince Rui, so I came with him."

Huang Taiji smiled and raised the letter in his hand.

"Yes, Wu Zongrui, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a letter, talking about my Eight Banners disciples and the sergeants of the Mongolian left and right battalions. I just talked about this matter with Wen Cheng. Please take a look at this letter."

The guard took the letter and handed it to Daishan.

Daishan quickly read it and handed it to Dorgon.

Daishan and Dorgon both read the letter, Daishan's face became normal, and Dorgon's turned pale.

"Second brother, fourteenth brother, please tell me what you think. By the way, I want to emphasize one point. Wu Zongrui may have let people talk. If I don't agree to his conditions, I will kill all my Eight Banners disciples and

The sergeants of the left and right camps in Mongolia must have heard this rumor."

Dorgon raised his head and was about to speak when he thought of something and looked at Daishan beside him.

Daishan pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, I thought it could be exchanged, and I wanted to tell the many Eight Banners disciples and Mongolian soldiers about this, so that they would understand the Emperor's painstaking efforts. In order to save their lives, the Emperor is willing to do anything..."

After Daishan finished speaking, Huang Taiji looked at Dorgon.

Dorgon clenched his fists and finally controlled his anger.

"Your Majesty, my brother thinks that Wu Zongrui must be punished severely. He is so arrogant that he thinks that if he wins the battle of Liaodong, he will be able to defeat our Eight Banners Army. If the Emperor allows it, I sincerely ask you to lead troops to attack Liaodong.

My brother is willing to issue a military order and will definitely defeat Denglai’s new army..."

Daishan turned his head and looked at Dorgon, his face still expressionless.

"Second brother, what else do you want to say?"

Daishan sighed.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the attack on Liaodong is the next step to consider. The current focus is still on the matter of these twelve thousand soldiers. We must let them come back safe and sound. The exchange conditions proposed by Wu Zongrui are quite harsh. I think the Emperor can agree to it.

There is a method of exchange, but we try to use as much money as possible and try to use as little population and food as possible in exchange."

Huang Taiji nodded and looked at Daishan with a smile on his face.

"Second brother, it seems that you have given it serious thought. Tell me your specific thoughts."

Daishan did not refuse, nodded and continued speaking.

"Your Majesty, I heard the rumors and thought about it carefully. These twelve thousand soldiers entered Liaodong to fight and were captured by the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty. Now that they have a chance to come back, the Emperor and the court must agree."

"The Eight Banners who were captured this time are mainly the Zhenghongqi, Xianghongqi, Xiangbaiqi and Zhenglanqi sergeants. I am willing to give some of the silver coins to let the bannermen go home. I suggest that both Su Qinwei and Prince Yu take them.

Come out with some silver coins and let their sons go home. As for the Mongolian sergeants and ministers in the left and right camps, you can also discuss and come up with some of the silver coins."

"I suggest that we exchange 50,000 Han people and 500,000 taels of silver for 12,000 people."

...

After Dai Shan finished speaking, Huang Taiji spoke slowly with a smile on his face.

"Second brother, how do you get together these 50,000 Han people?"

"It's still the Zhenglan flag, the bordered white flag, the Zhenghong flag and the bordered red flag that need to be exchanged for the Han people."

Fan Wencheng, who was standing in the corner of the hall, changed his expression. At first glance, Daishan's suggestion was to reduce the burden on Huang Taiji and sincerely consider it for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. However, if he thought about it seriously, it would not be a good idea to exchange the Han people who needed it.

The silver coins were all taken out by Daishan, Hauge and Duduo, and had nothing to do with Huang Taiji. If this news spread, how would the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian left and right battalions view Huang Taiji and the court.

After being silent for a while, Huang Taiji spoke with a smile still on his face.

"Second brother's proposal is good. I think that I will ask my second brother to represent me and the imperial court to negotiate with Wu Zongrui, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, to complete the matter. I emphasize that this matter is a decision made by the imperial court. The imperial court urges each banner to provide
