1630 In May, Elbel A Min was defeated by Sun Chengzong, failed to hold Yongping, Zunhua and Luanzhou, and abandoned the city. In the process of escape, he did these things:

"Then he killed Bai, the governor of the Han Dynasty, Zhang, and Chen, the minister of Taibu Temple"; Kill all the people in the city and collect gold, silver, silk and satin. Hearing this, Huang taiji was furious and severely reprimanded A Min, and listed several major crimes, such as "hating the Han people in the city", "driving the Han people to Yongping and handing them over to eight families as slaves", "killing the officials and people in four cities, holding them in solitary confinement and seizing population, slaves, property and livestock".

Of course, I know that Huang Taiji has long been dissatisfied with this cousin. These charges are just trying to find a way to kill him, but you have to admit, with A Min's warning, if other Manchu nobles do something illegal, they have to be careful.

This series of policies of Huang taiji began to officially list the Han people as "nationals" of the Qing Dynasty, that is, citizens. Later, Huang Taiji began to create the Han flag.

In the fifth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji founded the Hanqi Army, which was originally compiled as a single flag; In the second year of Chongde, Huang Taiji divided the Han army into two flags, the color of which was dark blue; In the fourth year of Chongde, he divided the officers and men of the second flag into four flags; In the seventh year of Chongde, Kong Youde and Geng led more than 10,000 insurgents and their families to surrender to the Qing army at the mouth of Yalu River after the Shandong uprising failed. Huang taiji still arranged his official position according to his previous self-styled position, incorporated Kong and Geng's army into the Eight Banners, and expanded the Han army into the Eight Banners.

At this point, the Eight Banners Han Army was formally established.

In the ninth year of Tiancong, Huang Taiji abolished the old clan name "Shen Zhu" and renamed it "Manchuria". It should be noted that this Manchuria is not equal to Jurchen.

Like Tong Yangzhen and Tong Yangxin, their real names are "Tong Jia" and their ancestral homes are on the Songhua River. They are authentic jurchen by blood, but they live in Liaodong like Han people. Tong Yangxin served in Liaodong Army and was a jurchen in China.

Later, Yue Tuo suggested to Huang Taiji that Manchu and Han people should marry, and he himself took the lead in marrying Han people. The purpose of marriage was to cultivate harmonious relations. Therefore, although Tong was a jurchen, in the eyes of jurchen at that time, he was a Han Chinese.

History records this marriage:

"TongXu and all the officials take turns to turn sweat into wine, drink less sweat. All the ministers and officials in Baylor drank without warning. This drinking is to show my goodwill and goodwill to the officials of Daling River, and also to let foreign countries hear about it, so that the members of the Tong family throughout the country are sincerely happy and the officials are happy. "By the time Tong Guowei, the grandson of Tong Yangzhen, and Long Keduo, the great-grandson of Tong Yangzhen, they became authentic Manchu people again.

Another example is "three stones", namely, stone, stone Tianzhu and stone. Judging from their names, they are undoubtedly Han Chinese. At the end of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Shi was the garrison of Guangning Wei, Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty, and his brother Shi Tianzhu was the commander of Liaodong Army. They use Chinese names, speak Chinese, and lead the Han army, but they are actually Manchu.

The ancestors of these three brothers came from Fusong County, Jilin Province. Their real names were Guarga, and later they became super celebrities, Guarga Ao Bai. Later, the family moved to Liaodong, taking "Shi" as their surname. Supposedly, this can't be sinicized anymore, right? However, after their surrender, Jin was incorporated into Zhengbai Banner of Manchu and became a native Manchu.

Therefore, the earliest "Manchuria" did not distinguish ethnic groups by descent, and all ethnic groups lived together in Liaodong, so it was impossible to distinguish them simply by descent. This "Manchuria" is more like a local separatist regime.

All right, let's go back to the Eight Banners.

Chongde seven years, that is, the year before Huang Taiji died. Eight Banners Mongolia * * * about 29000 soldiers, Eight Banners Han army * * about 33000 soldiers, the original Manchu about 55000 soldiers. The total number of people above is 1 16000, which is all the military forces of the Qing Dynasty and belongs to eight flag owners.

As mentioned earlier, when Nurhachi died, he gave his yellow flag and yellow inlaid flag, which is also the most powerful, to Dodo and Azig. Considering that Azig, Duoduo and Dourgen are female brothers, it seems unreasonable not to leave Dourgen an inheritance, and at the same time, Daishan's monopoly on the two red flags is too great. So, in the year of Nurhachi's death, that is, the eleventh year of the post-Jin appointed rule, he transferred the flag owner and his eldest grandson Du Du to the red flag and prepared to hand it over to Dourgen.

It can also be seen from here that Nuerhachi did not pay special attention to Dourgen, and the so-called content that Nuerhachi wanted to convey to Dourgen in film and television dramas had no historical support.

The above total 2 10 cattle records.

Huang taiji was able to reach the top because of Dai Shan's support. Dai Shan and his sons, Yue Tuo and Sahelian, held two red flags to fully support Huang Taiji. Together with the white flag of Huang taiji at that time, it was the three flags. Du Du is his nephew, and no one hopes and has no prestige; Mans Gourtay is a headstrong, brainless person; A Min is Nurhachi's nephew, not qualified; Azig and Dodo, then a 2 1 year-old and a 12-year-old, were children and had no strength.

However, after Huang Taiji reached the summit, he didn't praise Daishan too much, but formulated a set of four Baylers to sit side by side, that is, he, Daishan, Mang Gurtai and A Min sat side by side.

This has two advantages. First, the status of Mango Taiwan and A Min was improved to balance the Daishan forces in their own system; The second is to unite with Sanbaylor to deal with the rest. After all, Dudu, Azig and Dodo are not their own people, but they each hold a flag. He's very upset.

The first thing Huang Taiji did after he came to power was to seize the white flag of Dourgen. He said that Du Du had stepped down and Dourgen had not taken over, so the flag was ownerless and he gave it to his eldest son, Hogg. As for Dourgen, Huang Taiji asked him to go and squeeze in with Azig of the Yellow Flag. Dudu is even more unfortunate. Among the Eight Banners, he was helpless. His father was executed for a crime, and his seniority was lower than that of Sibeile. He didn't spoil him and gave him the weakest flag. Now, even this flag is gone. Speaking of this Du Du, it can be said that there is no worst, only worse.

His father Chu Ying, the eldest son of Nurhachi, was born with a golden key. But like the eldest son of all longevity emperors, Chu Ying's life is also very miserable.

Chu Ying started fighting with his father at the age of 19. He was the eldest son, so at the age of 29, Nurhachi put him in charge of state affairs. Besides, he is uneducated, arrogant and doesn't care about others.

This other person is the "Five Founding Ministers" and "Four Baylor".

Chu Ying is a valiant soldier, and a common feature of valiant soldiers is that they have no brains. But Chu Ying is not simply brainless. He still has some ideas. He wanted to seize the wealth and power of his brothers and princes bit by bit while Nurhachi was still alive, so as to consolidate his position.

What's this called? It's called driving fish into the deep.

The method of gradual weakening is right, but it is unwise to weaken it all at once. He should pull and play, which was what Huang Taiji did later. He disdained etiquette and was mean to his brothers, so he United the two factions.

Subsequently, these people began to engage in Chu Ying together.

After intense planning, 16 13 years, five ministers and four baylor jointly exposed Chu Ying's crimes, with one article and three articles.

First, Chu Ying provoked the relationship between the four Baylor and the five ministers; Second, Chu Ying robbed his brothers, sons and nephews of their property and horses; Thirdly, Chu Ying once told others that once he came to power, he would kill his ministers and brothers.

From this point of view, the political struggle of the imperial court in the early post-Jin period was really naive. So many people made up charges together and came up with three. You know, after Yongzheng made man, the charges began with 40, and Nian Gengyao could make nearly 100 charges in less than three years. It's not enough if he commits crimes slowly every few days.

When the crime was reported to Nurhachi, he had to choose between his eldest son and other sons and nephews, and finally he abandoned Chu Ying.

Chu Ying was a lonely man, but now he is dead, leaving his eldest son Du Du, even more lonely. Specifically, although he is the eldest son and grandson, although he has made great contributions to the military and vowed to be loyal to Huang Taiji, the highest title in his life was Duoluo Anping Baylor, and he stayed in this title for 19 years until his death.

After Du Du, Huang Taiji began to beat the remaining second primary school students Duo Duo and Aziz.

First, under the pretext of "Khan is orthodox and must use the yellow flag", he forced his own white flag and the white flag of his eldest son Haug to exchange flag colors with the yellow flag led by Azig and blossoming, and two whites were exchanged for two yellows.

After the color change was completed, he felt that Azig, 2 1 year-old, began to be a little mature and difficult to control, so he found a flag owner, removed Azig from his head and replaced him with Dourgen, 0/4/year-old.

This not only repaid the loss of Dourgen's white flag owner, but also alienated the feelings between the Dourgen brothers.

You know, the reason why Huang Taiji wants to repay Dourgen's kindness is precisely because Dourgen is not loved by his father. Huang taiji's principle of employing people is that those who were marginalized and hated by the former power, I will help you and turn you into one of our own; I will suppress those who are favored by the former power but weak in strength; Those powerful people in the former power, I will win you over first, and then I will kill you.

When the third grade is over, it's time for the two Baylor.

A Min was the first person to have an operation.

In the fourth year of Tiancong, A Min was convicted and imprisoned. As mentioned earlier, Huang Taiji took the opportunity to replace him and became the flag master, while Girard Lang, the son of Shu Haqi and A Min's younger brother, became the blue flag master.

Many people may think that it is generous for Huang Taiji to imprison his brother and use his brother. In fact, on the contrary, Gil Haran is a die-hard clique of Huang Taiji.

Jilalang was a child when Shurhachi and Nurhachi fell out. He was raised and disciplined by Nurhachi since childhood, and his relationship with Nurhachi is much more than that of his biological father. In addition to being close to the old man, he has a good relationship with several sons of Nurhachi, especially Huang Taiji, which is even better than his own brother.

Then Mangutai.

In the ninth year of Tiancong, Mang Kuertai, the flag owner of Zhenglan Banner, attempted to rebel and was defeated. Huang Taiji regained the position of flag owner. Huang taiji mixed the blue flag of Mango Taiwan with the yellow flag he personally led, making it a new yellow flag and yellow flag. Hogg's previous yellow flag was changed to blue flag, and Hogg was given eight cattle records from the new two yellow flags. In this way, Haug became the owner of the blue flag, and Huang Taiji led two yellow flags alone.

After the reorganization of the two yellow flags, Huang Taiji put his own flag under the yellow flag. Since then, the Yellow Flag has become the "direct flag" of the late King Jin and the late Emperor Qing, and has become the first of the Eight Banners. The flags owned by emperors, concubines in the harem and children who have not left the government in the Qing Dynasty are all in the yellow flag, and there are no other royal children except members of the royal family in the flag.

The status of the yellow flag as the first flag was carried out in the Qing Dynasty.

While fiddling with the two Baylor, Huang Taiji also showed his love to Dourgen's two brothers from time to time.

In the third year of Chongde, Duoduo led his troops to attack the Guanjin defense line, and was ambushed by Zu Dashou on the way, killing 9 people and losing 30 horses. This is really a big fart, but Huang taiji wants to exploit it.

In May of the fourth year of Chongde, Huang Taiji called a meeting of the ministers of princes and princes of the Qing Dynasty in Chongzheng Hall to discuss the sins of many.

Duoduo was convicted of two crimes. First, the battle was defeated, with a total loss of 39 people; Second, when Dourgen led his troops to war, Huang Taiji personally saw him off, but many people refused to go on the pretext of epidemic prevention.

No matter from which point of view, these two charges are minimal, but the consequences are extremely serious.

Duoduo was demoted from Prince Heshuo to DuoLaubel, and the former Ministry of War was still managed by him, but he had no decision-making power on major issues. A third of Lu Niu, the Zhengbai Banner directly under the jurisdiction of Duoduo, was cut off and handed over to other assistants in the banner.

It should be noted that Huang Taiji did not keep these records for himself, not because of his academic qualifications, but because he had made a promise before. At the beginning of his reign, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he publicly vowed not to confiscate the cattle records of other flag owners. Even if the flag owner is guilty, he will be fined to hand over his subordinate's oxen records, and the handed-over oxen records can only be distributed to other flag owners Baylor in this flag.

Huang taiji's cruel attack on Duoduo was mainly due to the old man's kindness to Duoduo. There are too many Lu Niu under the jurisdiction of Duoduo. No matter how you change the color, which flag you go to is the biggest flag of the Eight Banners.

Another meaning is to win over dourgen. Huang taiji is good at dealing with these three brothers. He constantly gave Dourgen benefits, suppressed Azig and Duoduo, and alienated the three brothers.

Teleplay is not history, nor are the three brothers of Dourgen in history, especially between Duoduo and Dourgen. Duoduo doesn't think much of Dourgen, after all, he is the most valued person by the old man.

In order to continue this differentiation method, shortly before his death, Huang Taiji mixed Zhengbai Banner with Zhengbai Banner and adapted it into a new 200-flag, basically dividing the Lu Niu in the banner equally, and then taking Dourgen as the flag owner and Tudor as the flag owner. At this point, Duoduo finally ended its position as the strongest flag owner of the Eight Banners in the past 20 years.

After the above messy color change and reorganization, before Huang Taiji died, the situation of the Eight Banners was like this. The two yellow flags of Huang taiji and the blue flag of his son Haug, * * * Three Flags 1 17 Niu Ji; Dourgen's three brothers recorded a total of 98 cows with two white flags; The two red flags of Daishan and the blue flag of Giralang recorded 96 cows.

At this point, the influence of the emperor faction in the Eight Banners occupied an absolute dominant position. Haug, Daishan, Jier Erlang, and Dourgen are all die-hard clique of Huang Taiji, and many who disobeyed were also severely beaten. Yes, you are wrong. Dourgen is a die-hard clique of Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji treats Dourgen more intimately than his own son, which I will explain in detail later.

Well, now, the Eight Banners with Huang Taiji as the axis have finally taken shape, and then, Huang Taiji died.

Just like a big house just built, the beams on the roof have been taken away. Seeing that the house is about to collapse, we need to find a new piece of wood to fill it in. Other wood supporting the house wants to fill the gap in the column. Next, a drama for the throne is about to begin.
