At present, although the Qing State did not have the emperor's private secretarial advisory institutions such as the Southern Study and the Military Aircraft Department, which were set up by later generations in order to concentrate power, and did not accept the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, their militaristic affairs also had a strong and effective organization in operation, conveying the will of the ruler to the whole army, and unswervingly implementing it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This institution is the Hongqing Palace, which is currently located in the Royal East Garden.

Now, it is the residence of the Regent of the Great Qing Dynasty.

Today, this palace, located in the East Hutong of Chizi Street in the south of Dongcheng, has long lost the style of the highest power center in the smoke and clouds of history. After Dolgon's death, he was deprived of all his titles and titles during his lifetime, and this building was also rebuilt into a lama temple in the 33rd year of Kangxi (1694), commonly known as Magala Temple, dedicated to the god of the Great Black Heaven.

Dahekuten (Sanskrit: Mahakala, Tibetan: Gonpo) is also transliterated as Dahei, Dashi, Dahei, or Daikokuten, etc., or directly transliterated as Mahakala, Mahagora, Mahakala, etc. Tibetan Buddhism believes that the Great Black Heaven is the wrath of the Buddha Virujana (Sanskrit: Vairocana, Tibetan: namparnangzhe, or the Great Day Nyorai) when he subjugated demons. Beginning in the thirteenth century, the Mongols began to regard the Great Black Sky as a military god, and Pas-pa built a statue for Kublai Khan to consecrate and bless the Mongols to defeat the Southern Song Dynasty. After the death of Yuan, he was brought back to Mobei until the time of Lin Dan Khan. After that, it came to the hands of Huang Taiji and placed it in Shisheng Temple to make offerings.

Prince Regent's Mansion was converted into a Maha Gara Temple, which is also appropriate.

If it were not for the various measures taken by Dolgon after entering the customs, I am afraid that the Eight Banners would only enter the customs and loot on a large scale, at most they would have established power north of the Huai River like the historical Jin State.

Today is the day of the proceedings. In Beijing, the Eight Banners prince Baylor, ministers and generals, who were qualified to participate in the deliberations of the Regent's Palace, gathered in front of the Regent's Palace.

But I didn't want to, in the second gate of the palace, there was a golden dragon woven by Prince Yu Duoduo, and in the courtyard stood hundreds of white-armored soldiers with white flags in Manchuria. These elite soldiers who returned from the front line, seeing these ministers and nobles, couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts.

The first thought in the hearts of Fan Wencheng Soni and others was that they secretly contacted the tandem below, and the matter was not secret, and the news leaked and was found out by Dolgon. Therefore, Dorgon sent Duoduo back to Beijing to help him go on a killing spree in the capital.

"Could it be that today this is our Zuojin Wuwei Yamen?"

Fan Wencheng's heart flashed through countless bloody coup scenes in history, and for some reason, he always thought of the nectar change of the massacre between eunuchs and ministers in the Tang Wenzong era.

In 835 AD (the ninth year of Tang Dahe), the 27-year-old Tang Wenzong was unwilling to be controlled by the eunuchs, and planned to kill the eunuchs with Li Xun and Zheng Zhu. Regain the Emperor's lost power. On November 21, Tang Wenzong came to the Zichen Palace. After the hundred officials stood in line, Han Yue, the general of Zuo Jinwuwei, did not report his safety according to the regulations, and said: "On the pomegranate tree in the backyard of Zuo Jinwu Yamen, I found that manna had fallen last night, which was a sign of auspiciousness, and I reported to the emperor through the eunuchs guarding the palace gate last night. So, he danced and bowed again, and the prime minister also led hundreds of officials to congratulate Tang Wenzong. Li Xun and Shu Yuanyu took the opportunity to persuade Tang Wenzong to go and watch it in person, so as to inherit the auspiciousness given by God. Tang Wenzong tried to deceive the eunuch leader Qiu Shiliang to the backyard of the Praetorian Guard to be killed in the name of Guanlu, but Qiu Shiliang found out, and the two sides fought fiercely, resulting in Li Xun, Wang Ya, Jia Kui, Shu Yuanyu, Wang Fan, Guo Xingyu, Luo Liyan, Li Xiaoben, Han Yue and other important officials of the imperial court were killed by the eunuchs, and their families were also implicated and destroyed, and more than 1,000 people were killed by Zhulian after this incident. It is known as the "Manna Change" in history.

However, after the meeting began, the people with evil intentions reluctantly put a stone back in their stomachs. Duoduo returned to Beijing, but instead of helping the second brother of the regent to launch a coup d'état, he came back to urge for food and grass supplies.

Originally, according to the plan, it was Cao Zhenyan who took people back to Beijing to urge the grain, grass, and military salaries and gunpowder. However, one of Dodor's aides gave Dordor a different suggestion: "Lord, this matter is not appropriate. Cao Jueluo is certainly a man of great military achievements and has attracted the attention of everyone, but the person he has to face when he returns to Beijing, is that not a dignitary? With his identity, it is no problem to suppress Han officials and ordinary minions, but if he deals with some old qualifications of the Eight Banners, I am afraid he will not be able to handle it. Therefore, the students dared to suggest that the prince return to Beijing in person, so as not to make it difficult for Cao Jueluo to complete his mission. ”

Although Duoduo has an absurd prince's saying, his brain is quite smart, and he can be said to be able to understand it at all. Otherwise, he would not be able to protect himself in front of an emperor as stern and mean as Huang Taiji, and at the same time preserve his strong and strong strength. After some consideration, he decided to return to Beijing himself. In addition, for the sake of insurance, a large escort team was not arranged, but as light as possible, only more than a thousand elite cavalry were brought to the country.

After handing over military affairs to Azig, Cao Zhenyan and others, Duoduo got up.

Without saying anything all the way, Duoduo rushed all the way from the front line to the capital, but when he entered the city, he received instructions from Dolgon, asking him to go to the regent palace of Hongqing Palace first.

When he saw Dorgon, Dordor was stunned, it is said that Dolgon at this time can be regarded as a standard power, but there is no majesty or joy on his face. Everywhere the eye looks, there is either pale tiger whisker hair, or a tired face, and a deep worry hidden behind the face.

And Dolgon didn't seem to mean anything polite, and didn't even wait for Duoduo to say goodbye, so he hurriedly asked, "Fifteenth brother, how is the situation on the front line?"

Seeing that Dorgon was so urgent, Duoduo didn't care about the courtesy for a few more weeks, sighed and said: "Second brother, I won't hide it from you, the situation is not good, we have fought several battles, all of them ended in defeat, and we lost very badly. “

Dolgon hurriedly asked about the specific situation, and Duoduo said miserably: "Originally, Li Huayu'er was just a gentleman's son, relying on his father's Yu Yin to get to where he is today, he must not be good at using soldiers, I have two white flag elites by my side, plus Cao Zhenyan, who defeated Li Huamei, and Chen Banda's newly made firearms and guns, even if you can't win, you can't lose." Outcome... Alas! ”

Duoduo let out a long sigh, and only after a long time did he continue: "The southern barbarian doesn't play cards according to the routine, and we made a cheap deal by shooting firearms, but the people bit their hearts and crossed their hearts, and they hit directly with bayonets, and as a result, our minions couldn't stand it, and people chased them and ran away." And I've got to be fair to the minions, they're really good. At the critical moment, Cao Zhenyan desperately organized a phalanx to counterattack, and later organized people to defend the trenches, although Guo Dingbei later fled timidly, but before that, he fought all the way and did buy time for us. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you won't see me again, second brother. ”

"Later, we learned from the captured Nanban that the eldest son of the Li family has always been famous for braving artillery fire and lead bullets to attack with white blades. This person's position in the Li family was to attack with bayonets, lead thousands of barbarian soldiers, and bravely brave Zheng Zhilong's intensive artillery fire to capture his three forts in a row, forcing Zheng Zhilong to abandon the city and flee! Second brother, think about it, with such a madman commander, how can you not be crazy below?! ”

"These children of the Li family are all very prickly!" After listening to his younger brother Duoduo's description of Li Huayu, and remembering the thrilling bloody battles with Li Huamei when he was in Tashan, Dolgon still felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

Dorgon asked for a few more details, and he knew the whole battle pretty well. After listening to Duoduo's narration, his eyebrows were almost twisted together, and the artillery fire was even more dense than in Tower Hill, with platoon gun shooting, grenades, bayonet assaults, and many tactics emerged one after another, and they were closely connected. This Li Huayu is really not easy to deal with! However, no matter how difficult it is to deal with, you have to continue to deal with it, so Dolgon comforted Duoduo and said: "Fifteenth brother, you don't have to be too sad, victory and defeat are commonplace, we can't fight in the field, it's a big deal to use strange soldiers to sneak attack Li Huayu's grain road, and there will be no grain at that time, I will see how Li Huayu fights."

When Duoduo heard this, he laughed, but his laughter was more ugly than crying, and he smiled bitterly and said, "My good second brother, why are you so naïve, you haven't done it to me?" Dry, useless. This kid didn't know where to find the migrant workers, so he built a long wall on the canal, and there were soldiers on it to defend it. Our people went, and they fled in embarrassment after being hit by a firecracker. If I had a solution, why should I come back? When I came back this time, I just told you about the plan of Cao Zhenyan, a minion. He believes that the Southern Barbarians are brave and not afraid of death, and the white-bladed hand-to-hand combat is extremely strong, and only by forming a hard village to fight a dumb battle and continuously exerting firepower can the Southern Barbarian martial arts and bravery. Our army cannot win Li Huayu in field battles, and the only way to have a glimmer of life is to fight a dumb battle with a strong village and drag down Li Huayu by means of attrition of positions. Cao Zhenyan believes that Li Huayu has come from afar, the supply is difficult, and the rear is unstable, as long as we can hold out for half a year, we will definitely win. ”

As a result, after Dodor said these words, it was Dorgon's turn to smile bitterly, he walked over and patted Dodor on the shoulder lightly and said, "Brother, wait half a year?" I'm afraid that the people in Beijing now don't want your brother and me to live for even three days. ”

As soon as Duoduo heard Huo Erqi, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he glared at Dolgon and shouted: "Second brother, whoever wants to rebel, brother, I will immediately bring someone to insert him." ”

Dorgon smiled bitterly and said, "Kill? Can you kill it? These people have two yellow flags and blue flags in the past, and now they are red and white, there are Han officials who surrendered, there are traders and merchants, and there are people all over the capital. Don't say you can't kill it, even if you can, what if we finish it? Could it be that when Li Shouhan comes to attack Shengjing again, we will wait for the goddess Fokulun to cast a spell to save us? ”

Dorgon was silent when he said this, and Dorgon said, "Brother, you have also seen that your second brother and I have been described as haggard lately, and my life is even more difficult than when I was by the side of the dead fat man. However, no matter how sad it is, this day has to be lived, and Li Shouhan has to fight. Tomorrow's court meeting, presumably those who want your brother and my brother to die will jump out together, and when the time comes, you have to cooperate with the second brother and me to beat their arrogance, at least let them not object to continue fighting. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't achieve it, I have already prepared the grain, grass and gunpowder for you, and you can escort it by the way when you go back. ”

Today's deliberations began in an atmosphere in which the monarchs, ministers, masters, sons, and slaves each had their own hearts.

Dolgon pointed to Duoduo, who was sitting under him, "The general arrived in the capital yesterday for the purpose of the front's food, grass, military salaries, weapons, gunpowder, etc. Today's matter, I am to convene you and others to discuss how to raise the food, salary, and weapons needed for the southern expedition. ”

Sonny peeked at Chen Banda, who was standing not far from him, the red man in front of Dolgon at the moment, still the same virtue, as if he had just arrived from the workshop, and he still smelled of soot and charcoal fire.

It turned out that it was still for money and food!

Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, Sonny and the others suddenly put their hearts back into the distance, and began to calculate the salaries, grains and grass that hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line would consume in a day, while Chen Banda lowered his head there, chanting words in his mouth, thinking that he was also calculating the consumption of weapons and gunpowder.

"The regent of Qiyu, the subordinates of Prince Yu Duoduo of the general of Pingnan, and the subordinates of Prince Azig of Ying, the general of Zhengxi, have a total of nearly 500,000 soldiers, including mules, horses and livestock, and the total is about 200,000. There were about 200,000 men in the army. With such a huge number, the minions are really at a loss. ”

Sony, as a household official, took the lead in standing up and complaining.

"Now there are too many people everywhere, and they are unwilling to use Nanzhong silver dollars to pay taxes, and they generally use Horse Chongzhen to pay taxes. As for the wheat, sorghum, beans and other things needed by our army, we have delayed and denied them in every possible way, and it is really impossible to use rice mixed with sand. These Diao people, like Yuan Taizu back then, killed them first and bled into a river, and then levied taxes. At that time, they will be honest! "Sony suggested that Temujin should use the methods of the past to crack down on the area.

When Dolgon heard this, he wanted to strangle Sonny to death, and then chew it up and eat it raw, you dead fat remnant! You're digging a pit for this king, aren't you?! I can guarantee that if the king spits a little, you will immediately tell everyone that I, Dorgon, will kill all the people who do not pay taxes with silver dollars, and then all the people in the world will hate me to the bone.

Fortunately, however, Dorgon was prepared. Immediately stopped Duoduo who was about to attack with a stern look, and then ordered a pen to fetch a paperwork.

"This is the inscription of the right wing of the Shenji Battalion, which is jointly played by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and Wang Hongzuo of the Lan Soldiers. The two met in Datong, and Wang Hongzuo, as a soldier, planned the supply of military salaries for the Aobai Department, which should be flawless. This person has been in Datong for many years and has a lot of experience in raising salaries. He suggested to Ao Bai that the old Wanli system be restored in Datong to implement the tax system. ”

In the inscription, he suggested to the king that the law should be carried out in the course of ten thousand years, and that the previous law should be taken carefully and skillfully, and that it should be eliminated as a generation. And said that the people do not suffer and are miscellaneous, and if the law is not established, the officials will not be afraid, and if the officials are not afraid, the people will be uneasy. Lu Yan Shu's loss, the court knows about it, and it can be difficult to become thrifty. The matter of royalty taxation, the small people know about it, and they can stop the invasion of fishing. ”

"This king has issued an order, so that he hurried to the capital and took up the post of Langzhong in the household department. Specializing in tax collection and salary raising. At the same time, he and Ao Bai asked for the restoration of the tax and grain system during the Wanli period, and the king should also approve it. Implemented from now on. ”

Historically, Wang Hongzuo from Yongchang, Yunnan Province, has served in the household department of the Qing Dynasty since the second year of Shunzhi, and has been serving as an envoy to raise food and salary for the Qing army. It provided a solid material foundation for the Qing army to suppress the anti-Qing forces in various parts of the Guannai. After the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, he has always achieved the title of prince and the position of secretary of the household department. In the Kangxi period, he cooperated with Kangxi to kill the Aobai family.

This is a digression, let's not press the table.

Fan Wencheng didn't expect that Dolgon would have such a hand, transferring a demoted official to Beijing to preside over the change of the tax system and the collection of money and grain. Moreover, to their infuriation, Aobai, who was born in Manchuria with the yellow flag, proposed to Dorgon. Is this dog thief really treacherous?! However, things like tax reform and the collection of money and grain will not be effective overnight. Naturally, they don't need to be in a hurry.

Now, they had an immediate plan to raise money that Dorgon would approve of.

"Master, now I have a lot of money to pay in those places, but the military salary expenses everywhere are huge. In the humble opinion of a minion, open source should be the best policy. A few days ago, a merchant from Nanzhong handed over a letter asking to continue to purchase red and blue flowers in large quantities, and expressed his willingness to pay the bill in silver dollars or other goods. The slave thought that for the sake of the Qing Dynasty's finances, it was recommended to allocate some manpower to pick red and blue flowers. ”

Fan Wencheng deliberately did not use the official title of Regent, Dorgon, but used the affectionate-sounding title of "master" to shorten the distance between him and Dolgon.

However, he had just mentioned the red and blue flowers, and before Dolgon could speak, Chen Banda, who was originally bowing his head and settling accounts, was the first to jump out and speak out against it!

"A few adults, don't pit Daqing anymore!"

"The common people have said that they have forgotten the pain after the scars, but our scars are not good, so you forget the pain? A few years ago, did you forget how miserable the red and blue flowers were in the big pit? Shi Lang and Wu Sangui, the two Ming dogs, were so rampant that they only temporarily seized the blast furnace and smashed the workshop. But in a blink of an eye, we recovered. But this red and blue flower makes Liaoyang's fireworks cut off, just like a ghost domain! The apprentice craftsmen I worked so hard to cultivate, they were not plundered by Shi Lang's army, but let the Southern Barbarians deceive them with a promise, leaving us with almost no usable craftsmen in the workshop and no usable weapons in the army. I am a rough man, I don't know anything about military affairs, I know that without craftsmen and sharp weapons, we are lambs to the slaughter. ”

Fan Wencheng still has that calm and breezy bearing, compared with Chen Banda's anxious and white face, he looks extremely graceful: "Lord Chen, what you said is not right. Let me ask you, when we sell red and blue flowers, do the big guys go to you as apprentices more, or do they come to my yamen to find work? Why, I can't say it, it must be willing to dig up red and blue flowers. This thing comes quickly, effortlessly, and doesn't even light fireworks, who wouldn't want to do such a good business? ”

"Do you know what it's called?" It's called voting with your feet, and it's a good thing for a person to know that it's good and everyone wants to go to a good place. Look at what I do, I eat all-you-can-eat rice a day, and there are big bones of salted fish and sauerkraut sauce every three or five days, and I dig for four or five hours a day, and I finish work before it gets dark. Look at following you again, one day the smoke and fire are like a ghost, covered with stinky sweat and ashes, not to mention that you have suffered a crime, and the neighbors who burn coal and smoke are still smoked will not be able to live in peace. The big guys all said that if they lived next to Chen Banda's factory, they would live at least ten years less. Why, I can't see the sky! Under the dome and without seeing the light of day, how can you save your life?! Chen Banda, if you don't think about anything else, even if it's for the lives of your neighbors, you should close the workshop to dig red and blue flowers. By the way, I also heard one thing, one of your craftsmen didn't go to Nanzhong with his wife, but he got pregnant when he left, and the child was born in Nanzhong, so he got a damn disease. Tell me how much sin you have suffered. If you don't turn off the blast furnace, how many more children will die, and you won't be afraid of retribution?

Chen Banda was so angry by Fan Wencheng's high argument that his eyes were about to come out: "Master Fan! Before the regent, don't talk nonsense, what is ten years less, people's lifespan is determined, even if I don't open a workshop, how many people can live to be 100 years old? What do you say that a pregnant woman died after giving birth, why haven't I heard about it!? Besides, she has all gone to Nanzhong, why did she blame me for her death? ”

Chen Banda turned his head and happened to see Sony standing there, so he stepped forward and grabbed Sony's hand: "Master Suo, you are also a person who has experienced the chaos in Shengjing at that time. At that time, there was a folk song in the market that it was better to hold a tiger tooth knife than to hold a flower cutting knife, and it was better to cast a cannon than to pour rice tickets! If I recreate the chaos of that day, how can I calm the sea and dominate the world?! Sony faced the questions that technicians like Chen Banda directly raised, but they could only make a haha and find a way to avoid the past.

"What's more, Lord Fan. When Nanban stopped trading with my Qing Dynasty, and the price of grain in Shengjing changed several times a day, I don't know if Lord Fan used the silver dollars sold to buy grain from the red and blue flowers, or grabbed wheat from me? ”

Chen Banda's words were like the palm of the gods, which made Fan Wencheng and others who advocated the red and blue flower trade crackle in the face. But he didn't dare to have a seizure. Because, the people who advocated the trade of red and blue flowers are now sitting on the throne.

"Hey, hey! Chen Banda, a minion, is also a wonderful person. Who said that he, the head of the craftsman, can only smelt iron and forge swords, this is also a good scolding person. Dorgon and his brother Dorgon exchanged glances with each other, and both saw the approval of Chen Banda.

The different opinions of several factions, as the head of the family, Dolgon, naturally had to express his position.

"The plan now is to strike troops from the north and south. The Ming Dynasty recognized the Qing Dynasty's governance of the Huaibei land. At the same time, trade is opened. Since there is such a demand for businessmen in Nanzhong right now, we might as well try to walk. However, Fan Wencheng Ning finished me, now is the time to engage in troops, and there are not so many manpower, so you will organize some idlers to try to handle it. As for what Sony just played, the people everywhere resisted Tianwei. I also have a question book here, so you might as well listen to it! ”
