Chapter 1037: Apparent Unity (2)
Hauge, Daishan, and Dolgon stood at the front, and the rest of the Manchu nobles stood behind them, and the participants in this discussion were almost all the Manchu nobles in the Eight Banners, and Zilharang was absent from this discussion, because he was in Haizhou and could not leave.
Dorgon noticed, including Azig in the main hall.
The inside and outside of the hall are heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter, which is related to the future of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji believes in the Manchurians, and everyone notices that in the hall, there is no Fan Wencheng, and Fan Wencheng has to participate in the discussion of such things before, and the opinions are still very critical, even more than the suggestions put forward by the Manchu nobles.
In such a situation, many Manchu nobles were happy, and they originally believed that the Great Qing State was the Great Qing State of the Manchus, and had nothing to do with the Han people, and the Han people should not participate in the major matters of the Great Qing State.
The atmosphere in the hall is not very good, after all, the situation in Haizhou is precarious, Duoduo died on the battlefield, Jin Li was captured alive, for the Great Qing Kingdom, such losses are huge and unbearable, and Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning Battalion, has occupied Gaizhou, and is staring at Yaozhou and Haizhou, in this case, the deployment of the Great Qing State must be adjusted accordingly, otherwise it will be dangerous to lose Yaozhou and Haizhou, Liaodong and Liaoyang will be in danger, and in the next step, Shenyang is also dangerous, and it is difficult for the Manchurians to withdraw from Shenyang, to go back to your hometown, to return to the harsh environment before, to return to the white mountains and black waters, this is not everyone's wish.
Huang Taiji's spirit is good, for so long, it is rare to see Huang Taiji such a spirit, and the Manchurian nobles who have been delayed are secretly relieved, no matter what. Huang Taiji's wisdom and wisdom are recognized by everyone, as long as Huang Taiji's spirit is good, even if the battle suffers losses, everyone still has the backbone, and I believe that Huang Taiji can lead everyone. Think of a solution.
Huang Taiji coughed a few times, and the hall quickly fell silent.
"I have summoned you here today because there are some important things that need to be decided, I hope you all speak freely, say what you think in your hearts, don't hide anything, I haven't changed, I want to hear your true thoughts."
Huang Taiji's opening remarks were simple. Done in a few words.
Next, Hauge said that this has become a habit, and specific things are said directly by Hauge.
"There are three main things that need to be discussed today, although there are not many things, but they are all very important, and my father has asked you. Be sure to know everything. ”
"The first thing is about the miscalculation of the Ming army's attack. This matter has always been a pimple in the heart of the father, and you were also here at the beginning, discussing this matter together, and the father decided that the focus of the Ming army's attack was in Liaodong, and he didn't expect Su Tiancheng to lead the Jiangning battalion. An attack was launched from the direction of Haizhou, and because of an error in judgment, the prince of Yu Duoduo was killed, Jin Li was captured alive, and more than 30,000 troops were annihilated by the Ming army. Gaizhou City was lost, and my father entrusted me to bring it up here, just to take responsibility, otherwise my father would be uneasy. The main responsibility for this matter is still me, I proposed it to my father, so that my father made such a decision, so this responsibility should be borne by me. ”
After Hauge said the first thing, the hall was unusually quiet.
In fact, everyone understands that the death of Duoduo does have a lot to do with the tactical arrangement, no matter who leads the 30,000 army to attack Fuzhou, they will encounter the same fate, after all, the main direction of the Ming army is in Haizhou, facing Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion, who are ready for everything, not to mention the 30,000 army, that is, it is doubled, and the 60,000 army is probably also a heavy loss.
But everyone understands more that the main source of all these decisions is the intelligence obtained from Liaodong, and this matter is the responsibility of Fan Wencheng, and if you want to be held accountable, Huang Taiji and Haoge should definitely not be held responsible.
Dai Shan spoke first.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that this matter is mainly the responsibility of Fan Wencheng, all along, the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have trusted Fan Wencheng very much, let Fan Wencheng take charge of the intelligence network, give Fan Wencheng the greatest trust, and every time he discusses a major matter, Fan Wencheng participates, and also puts forward many suggestions, the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have passed such actions, so that the Han people of the Qing Kingdom believe that the imperial court is kind to the Han people, and the actions of the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are painstaking, But Fan Wencheng made repeated mistakes at critical moments, which is unbearable. ”
Dai Shan suddenly raised his tone.
"When Su Tiancheng led the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to attack the Mongolian grassland, Fan Wencheng made a mistake, thinking that the direction of Su Tiancheng's attack was in Yizhou, Liaodong, and as a result, Su Tiancheng launched an attack from the direction of Datong, resulting in the extermination of the Chahar tribe and a huge turmoil in the grassland.
"When the minister said this, it is not an afterthought, nor is it an accusation that Fan Wencheng has ulterior motives, Fan Wencheng specializes in intelligence work, and if there is such a problem, it should be analyzed, whether there is a problem with the intelligence network, but what Fan Wencheng thinks of, is to use the intelligence network in exchange for the trust of the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Fan Wencheng continues to believe in the intelligence from Liaodong, the facts are very clear, Su Tiancheng used the intelligence network in Liaodong, it can be said that the intelligence personnel trusted by Fan Wencheng have long been exposed and used by Su Tiancheng, and this mistake has caused irreparable losses."
"The minister thinks that this responsibility is completely on Fan Wencheng's body, and Fan Wencheng should be allowed to take responsibility, the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have no responsibility, and the ministers also agreed with this analysis, if the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are responsible, the ministers will be responsible."
"The minister suggested that Fan Wencheng be removed from all his positions and publicly beheaded for public display to comfort Prince Yu's soul in the sky."
As soon as Dai Shan's words fell, many people in the hall immediately expressed their opinions, all of whom agreed with Dai Shan's statement.
A smile flashed across Hauge's face, and no one could notice it.
Raised this issue, it was Huang Taiji who specifically warned Haoge, Fan Wencheng signed an agreement with the Japanese, this agreement cannot be exposed, it will cause an uproar, there must be a way to deal with it, once the Japanese affairs are exposed in the future, the responsibility can all be pushed down on Fan Wencheng's body, but Fan Wencheng is cunning and cunning, he will definitely defend himself, which will put Huang Taiji and Haoge in a disadvantageous position, the best way is to shut up Fan Wencheng, dead people can't say anything, killing Fan Wencheng needs a reason, Otherwise, it will chill the Han people of the Great Qing Kingdom, and today they will discuss the responsibility for the deployment of the campaign, and lead the responsibility to Fan Wencheng, and they will be able to kill Fan Wencheng in a grand manner.
Soon, everyone's opinions were unified, and they were surprisingly unanimous, all of them wanted to kill Fan Wencheng.
Huang Taiji spoke.
"You all said that this responsibility is borne by Fan Wencheng, but I can't bear it, no matter what, Fan Wencheng is doing his best, at least there is no dissent, I always feel that I should treat the Han people well."
As soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, Dai Shan spoke again.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that my Qing Dynasty has always done things in accordance with the rules, on the battlefield, if the military law is violated, it must be dealt with, so that there can be strict military discipline, in order to be invincible, since the Ming army decided to attack my Qing Dynasty, it has been wartime, whether it is in Liaodong, Haizhou, or Shenyang, it is a battlefield, violating military law, it must be dealt with severely, Fan Wencheng for his own selfish interests, has not only violated military law, but also caused my Qing Kingdom to suffer heavy losses, Therefore, it is necessary to behead the public in order to wake up others. ”
Dai Shan's words are magnificent, and people can't refute them.
After Daizen finished speaking, Dorgon also spoke.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that what the second brother said is reasonable, Fan Wencheng is indeed an unforgivable crime, the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are so trusted, it is said that Fan Wencheng should be conscientious, and must not take into account personal gains and losses, but unfortunately Fan Wencheng was consumed by the desire for profit, and he did not think of the safety of my Great Qing Kingdom at all, such sinister intentions, not killing is not enough to anger the people."
Dai Shan and Dolgon both spoke, Fan Wencheng's fate was decided, unless Huang Taiji resolutely disagreed, but unfortunately, this matter was originally considered by Huang Taiji, of course, Huang Taiji wanted to kill Fan Wencheng at this time, not only because of the mistake of intelligence, contacting the Japanese is one aspect, more importantly, Huang Taiji has discovered that among the Manchurian nobles, some people are not convinced, and they have put forward opinions behind the deployment of the campaign, which involves the stability of the Qing Dynasty, in this case, Only sacrifice for goodness in exchange for the unity of the Manchurians.
Huang Taiji coughed again, and the hall fell silent.
"Since your opinions are unified, I have no other opinions, it's just that Fan Wencheng is my Great Qing Kingdom, and he is also conscientious, the Manchus of my Great Qing Kingdom have always had clear grievances, I said here today, Fan Wencheng is guilty, but he can't involve his family, he can't involve the Han people of the Great Qing Kingdom, at this time of crisis, you must trust the Han people around you, let them serve my Great Qing Kingdom, if anyone disposes of Han slaves at will, I still have to punish severely."
"Haoge, you go and handle this matter in person, say a few more words on behalf of me and Fan Wencheng, thank him for his contribution to the Great Qing Kingdom, let him rest assured, I will definitely treat his family well."
The hall was quiet again, many Manchurian nobles, their faces were much better, their grievances were vented, Fan Wencheng took responsibility and was killed, Huang Taiji and Haoge's posture was also very good, this kind of dare to take responsibility is respected by everyone.
