The Council of Ministers was a system in which the Manchu kings, the Eight Banners, Baylor and other upper-class nobles participated in handling state affairs in the early Manchu Dynasty.

This is related to the tribal slavery system that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was originally in a backward state, and after the founding of the old slaves, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty changed to feudalism, the customs of some tribal military nobles were retained, and it became the Council of Ministers of the Parliamentary King.

After the Qing court entered the customs, the Ming system was used, but the power was not actually in the cabinet, and all important military affairs were handed over to the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers.

In fact, this was above the six cabinets of the Qing court, and became a means for the Manchurian aristocracy to control the government.

At this time, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the number of members who could participate in the Council of Ministers of the King of Parliament increased a lot, and in addition to the prince, the prince of the county, and Baylor participated in the council, the prince and the public level also participated in the council. In addition to the ministers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Gushan Ezhen and the Six Manchurians of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, Meng Shangshu are also listed as the ministers of the parliament, but the ministers of the Han military banner are rarely included in them.

At today's meeting, Dolgon did not even invite the Mongolian minister, and it was completely discussed by the Manchurians themselves.

Everyone listened to his words, and there were many discussions below, and suddenly, Prince Zheng Zierharang said: "I Manchu people are the world's best with cavalry, and the Manchurian warriors are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. ”

The population of Manchuria is too small, and they are actually afraid of ruling the Central Plains in their hearts, they have never worried about the Han people, and they are always on guard against the Han people, the so-called Manchu and Han families, just laughing and talking, the Qing court is best at saying one thing and doing another, although there are no regulations, but in fact no one intermarries with you, and they never thought about integrating in, that is, they came to enslave the Han people, but the pigtail drama in later generations is still there to fall in love with the Manchus, which is really embarrassing.

Dolgon said with a smile: "The loss of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty this time is much more serious than that of the Eight Banners, for the capable Han people, this king will allow them to take advantage of raising the banner and absorb them as banner people, but the number of the Han Army Banner will not change, so that the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia will still be able to suppress the Han Army Banner." In addition, in the future, the green camp will arrange flag men as supervisors, and even directly lead the green camp to fight, and finally learn the Han people's strategy of using literature to control the military, and use the Han people's civil servants to monitor the green camp generals. This is the king's strategy in warfare, what do you think? ”

At present, for the Manchurian aristocracy, the most important thing is to reduce the casualties of the Manchus in the future campaign, maintain the deterrent power of the Manchus against the Han people, and continue to unify the world.

At that moment, a group of Manchurian nobles discussed each other for a while, and then nodded in approval.

Seeing this, Dorgon returned to the throne of regent with satisfaction, and he had made a mistake in appointing Luckedhun, and was now eager to implement new policies and achievements in order to gain the continued support of the Manchurian nobility.

Dolgon sat down again, stopped the Manchurian nobles from continuing to talk, and then said: "In terms of local management, for those places that are not satisfied, the newly conquered cities should still be slaughtered and deterred, but for the areas that have been controlled and stabilized, do not kill indiscriminately, everything according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, but for the thoughts, we must strengthen the control, and purge all those literati who have old intentions, and all the words "Hu", "captive", "Tartar" and "Yi" can no longer appear in the book, whoever dares to say it will be killed. ”

"The land of Jiangnan has been repeated repeatedly, and this time Jiangxi was easily taken by Wang Yan, because the literati in Jiangnan have always disobeyed the rule of our Qing Dynasty and launched a rebellion, which has restrained Jiangnan's plan to rescue Jiangxi. The regent is right, for those Han people who have repeated hearts, they should be thoroughly cleansed. Dodor nodded in agreement.

Dolgon glanced at the crowd and then at Zilharang, "What does Prince Zheng think?" If there is no opinion, the king will issue a decree and prepare it to be promulgated. ”

Since the entry of the Eight Banners, more than 50,000 people have died in battle and from disease, and in terms of the total strength of 180,000, the loss has been close to 30 percent, which represents the decline of Manchuria's strength.

Dolgon's strategy was undoubtedly the best solution to deal with this change, and Zilharan thought for a while, but found no loopholes, so he nodded as well.

"Then do as the king wants~"

When Dorgon had finished speaking, he turned and left, and the Council of Ministers of the King was temporarily closed.

During the period from then to the end of the year, the Qing court was in an unusually busy state, and a large number of men under 16 in Manchuria were also added to the banner, bringing the Manchurian Eight Banners back to 60,000.

In accordance with the regulations, the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners were filled by the men in the establishment, and the number of men in the family or the age of the men was too young, and the vacated places were selected from the green battalions, so that a large number of green battalion generals successfully carried the flags and became the ruling class.

The Manchu Eight Banners returned to the number of 180,000, but the combat power was naturally far from being comparable to when they entered the customs, but even so, the strength of the Manchu Qing was still far superior to that of the Southern Ming.

Since entering the customs, the Manchu Qing Dynasty accepted more than 100,000 troops from the Northern Shun Army, and then defeated the Hongguang Imperial Court, and obtained nearly 500,000 troops from the four towns of Jiangbei and Wuchang Zuozhen, and then nearly 100,000 troops from eastern Zhejiang and Fujian.

Although the Qing army suffered defeats in Huguang and Jiangxi, losing more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, in terms of total strength, the Qing court still had 180,000 banners and more than 500,000 green battalion soldiers, in contrast, even after Wang Yan completed the expansion of the army, the entire Southern Ming Dynasty, including Lu Gui and the two domains, Zheng Chenggong, and Chen Zilong, was only about 300,000 people.

In the general trend of the world, the Qing court still occupies an absolute advantage.

A month after the promulgation of Dolgon's decree, the security of the city of Beijing became more and more tight, and groups of soldiers patrolled the streets and alleys, and from time to time sergeants rushed into the houses, took out a large number of secretaries, and burned them down on the streets, and the owners of the houses were dragged away by the soldiers.

As soon as he got off the morning court, the bachelor Zhan Ba passed through the street in a sedan chair, his heart tightened, and he secretly reminded himself to be careful.

At this time, next to his sedan chair, another sedan chair chased after him, and the person in the sedan chair lifted the curtain and showed his head and called: "Master Zhan, go to my house and have a drink, okay?" ”

When Zhan Ba heard this, he also raised the curtains, and regarded it as Chen Mingxia, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials and a bachelor of Hanlin, and his heart moved, so he smiled and said: "Lord Chen invites you, so you are naturally willing to go." ”

Chen Mingxia saw that Zhan Ba agreed, so he put down the curtain and asked the sedan chair man to step forward, and the two sedan chairs went to Chen Mingxia's mansion one after the other.
