Chapter 832: The Position of the Banner Master
After Huang Tai finished saying this, several flag owners who attended the meeting nodded in agreement.
Among the people present, Yue Tuo, the lord of the Red Banner with the Red Banner, once collected a part of the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers, and set up a Han Army Niu Lu under his own banner that was specifically responsible for artillery.
When these Han army Niu Lu joined forces with the main force of Huang Taiji's department to attack Datong City, they were incorporated into the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion set up by Huang Taiji at that time.
However, this newly established Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, in the process of attacking the Dunbao of Xuanfu Datong Ground Guard, although it has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, it was almost wiped out under Juyong Pass.
Although the main force of the artillery team of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, which was composed of surrendered Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, survived a lot, all the artillery did not have time to be taken away.
Including the two leaders of this Wuzhen Chaoha battalion, Sun Degong and Alan Chai, they all died in the chaos.
Now Huang Taiji wants to rebuild this team, and set up a special flag to build artillery, and Yue Tuo certainly agrees.
Others, such as Zilharang, Dolgon, and Hauge, in this war, whether it was Hauge's war in Monan, or the war of Jilharang and Dolgon in Liaodong and Liaonan, the artillery of the Ming army gave them an indelible impression.
Even if Huang Taiji doesn't say it this time, they will also pay attention to and cast artillery in the future, and when Huang Taiji said this at this time, everyone agreed.
However, while everyone agreed, Dai Shan said: "The Southern Dynasty relied on the strong city, if my Eight Banners can build heavy artillery, then the strong city of the Southern Dynasty is not difficult to break!"
"I just dare to ask Your Majesty, if the Han military flag is modeled on the Jurchen Eight Banners system, then the Han military flag can be set up as the flag owner? If there is a flag master, what is his lordship, and where is his position? I wonder who the Great Khan wants? ”
After Dai Shan finished asking, several other flag owners also looked up at Huang Taiji.
At this time, Huang Taiji said: "Even if Big Baylor doesn't ask, I have to explain it to you today." First, after the establishment of the Han Army Banner, there was no flag owner, and it was directly led by me, and the Yellow Flag was controlled and commanded.
"Second, this Han army flag temporarily only set up a solid mountain, I will Rao Yu Belle Abatai as the position of the solid mountain, by the forehead Tong Yang Xing as the head of the flag minister, select craftsmen, supervise the manufacture of heavy artillery.
"Third, Li Yongfang and Bao Chengxian led the Han army to merge into the Han Army Banner, and served as the left and right Meile Ezhen, and the Han Army Banner Banner!"
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji paused for a moment, looked at everyone's expressions that became indifferent again after realizing something, and then said:
"Speaking of which, this matter is just the internal affairs of the two yellow flags of the two yellow flags, and it does not involve the major politics of the Jurchen Eight Banners of my Dajin Kingdom, today I just said that I know it with you!
"I have summoned you today, and the one who really needs your discussion is the position of the flag owner with the white flag!"
After Huang Taiji said this, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall to this real big event, and everyone looked up at Huang Taiji, waiting for his next step, and no one bothered to ask the question of Han Junqi anymore.
After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he saw that everyone was concentrating on this matter, so he continued:
"This time, I led the main force of the Eight Banners to the west to conquer Chahar, and then went south to attack the Ming Kingdom, although there was a great victory in the early stage, but after all, there was a withdrawal of troops under the Yong Pass, in which all kinds of merits and demerits, today I and you do not care.
"In terms of the losses of this battle alone, I am honest and Daikin has never tasted it since the founding of the country! I, as a Great Khan, am hard to shirk my responsibility! On another day, I went to the tomb of the first khan in the eastern suburbs to think about it! ”
When Huang Taiji said this, Leng Monk Ji, who had been kneeling in the hall, suddenly became nervous, thinking that he was about to talk about the guilt of his master, Sanbeile Mang Gurtai.
But what he didn't expect was that after a pause, Huang Taiji said:
"I misjudged the situation that day, thinking that the Ming army of Liaodong and Dongjiang, as in previous years, would not take the initiative to attack! I really didn't expect that the defense of the eastern and southern lines of our Dajin Kingdom would have today's ending!
"I have since returned with the army, and I have thought about it repeatedly for several days and nights, and I know that the peace of the ministers sent by the Ming State at that time was actually like me, and it was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!
"Now that I think about it, what I thought and thought at that time, every move of my Dajin Army was actually in the calculation of the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty! Could it be that in the dark, there is really a providence?! ”
On the way back from the withdrawal, Huang Taiji also thought about whether there was a spy on his side, but the only object worth doubting, that is, these Han advisers around him, never had the opportunity to leak secrets!
After thinking about it, Huang Taiji could only blame some of the problems he couldn't figure out on providence.
Dolgon waited for a long time, but he didn't see Huang Taiji talking about the topic, and now he looked at Huang Taiji talking about the providence of heaven, and he was slandered at the moment:
"Defeat is defeat, incompetence is incompetence, what is providence! If there is really a providence in the underworld, it is also because you Huang Taiji is not in the right position, and God will punish you with this! ”
In fact, the understanding that Huang Taiji pondered on the road to defeat and return was already clear to the few banner owners who were ordered to stay behind that day.
It's just that at that time, everyone was blinded by the successive victories in the past few years, thinking that the Ming officials and troops were just a group of local chickens and dogs, and they all advocated a detour to Mongolia and go south to attack the Ming.
At this time, although it was known that it might be a trick by the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty to deliberately show weakness and set traps to lure the enemy to attack, they could not say it explicitly.
Now that Huang Taiji said this, everyone acquiesced in their hearts.
Seeing that Huang Taiji did not get to the point, and seeing that everyone was silent, Dolgon immediately said: "The Great Khan just said that today he will discuss the candidate for the owner of the white flag, I don't know who the Great Khan wants?" ”
When everyone heard Dolgon's words, they all looked at Huang Taiji again, and Huang Taiji squinted his slender eyes, looked at the young Dolgon, and asked expressionlessly:
"I convened the Eight Banner Masters today to discuss politics, and I was just going to listen to your opinions! I don't know if you have a candidate?! ”
When Dolgon heard this, he suddenly felt that he had spoken too early, not only did he not ask Huang Taiji's thoughts, but he had to say his own candidate first without knowing Huang Taiji's candidate.
Of course, Dolgon was determined to win the white flag, but for several months, he counted among the children of the clan, but he did not find a suitable candidate.
It wasn't until this trip to Shenyang that he finally decided to recommend Bellesot to take over his brother's white flag.
First, Shuotuo is the son of Daishan, although the relationship with Daishan is not harmonious, but after all, he is Daishan's son, and it is easier to get Daishan's support by choosing him.
Second, Shuotuo is also the younger brother of Yue Tuo, the owner of the Red Flag Banner, and the brothers have a good relationship, so it is easier to get Yue Tuo's support.
Thirdly, Shuotuo is one of the Gushan Ezhen who is inlaid with the blue flag, and he also has a good relationship with the owner of the blue flag, Zilharang.
The fourth and most important point is that although not many people know about it, Shuoto was one of the few clans who stood on Dorgon's side in the battle for the succession to the Khan's throne and supported Dolgon's succession to the throne.
Originally, in history, Shuoto was killed because after Huang Taiji died of a violent illness, he strongly supported Dolgon to inherit the throne, and rashly went to persuade his father Daishan to change his position and support Dolgon, but was detained and imprisoned by Daishan, and then killed.
And when the times were good, it was Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge who insisted on supporting it.
It was precisely because Daishan resolutely opposed Dolgon's succession that Dolgon finally had to compromise, took a step back with Daishan, and accepted Daishan's final proposal to be succeeded by Huang Taiji's youngest son, Fulin.
At the same time, it is also because Daishan has never been completely on Dolgon's side, so Dolgon later tried to abolish Shunzhi and stand on his own several occasions but did not succeed in the end.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Daishan family, also known as the family of Prince Li, prospered in the history of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Because without him, there would be no Fulin's throne, no Shunzhi, and of course, there would be no later Kang Yongqian's throne.
At this time, Dolgon also thought of wooing the great Beylor Daishan, who was important in the clan, but he overestimated the father-son relationship between Shuoto and Daizen.
Facing Huang Taiji's rhetorical question, Dolgon thought for a moment, and then said: "The original intention of the courtier was to propose that Rao Yu Baylor take over the white flag, but——"
As soon as Dolgon's words came out, everyone in the temple looked sideways.
Abatai is not the son-in-law of the old slave, which is the fundamental reason why he has never been reused and cannot be the banner master.
Dolgon's promotion of Abatai was obviously to give Huang Taiji a problem.
If Huang Taiji agrees, Abatai will not be grateful to him Huang Taiji, but will be grateful to Dolgon, and at the same time, the other children of the clan will become a big problem for Huang Taiji.
And if Huang Taiji disagrees, it will be tantamount to putting Abatai and the other descendants of the clan on the opposite side of him.
Huang Taiji listened to Dolgon's words, and his face suddenly changed, but fortunately, Dolgon's words were not finished, and there was the following:
"However, when the younger brother heard from the Great Khan that he wanted to use Rao Yu Beile in the position of the Han army's banner Gushan Ezhen, the younger brother changed his mind again!
"In the opinion of the younger brother, the second son of the eldest Belle is inlaid with the blue flag and the mountain is really Dorobele Shuoto, heroic and decisive, and he can be trusted with the white flag, and he is worthy of his responsibility!"
