Hening is the birthplace of Li Chenggui and can be regarded as the birthplace of the Li Dynasty.

Using it as the name of the country can not only reflect the orthodoxy of the Li Dynasty, but also distinguish it from the previous Wang family and Gaoli, and also distinguish it from the name given by the Zhu family in the Southern Dynasty.

Therefore, Huang Taiji didn't think too much about Li Zhu's suggestion and agreed at that time.

For Huang Taiji, he just wanted to get rid of the Li Dynasty as soon as possible and cut off the connections between some of them and the Zhu family of the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible.

The reason why Huang Taiji ordered them to shave their heads and change their clothes, and then to change the name of their country, was actually for one purpose, which was to get rid of the old and introduce the new, or to reform the old and reform, that is, to get rid of the various influences of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible and make the people forget about their subjects.

It belongs to the past of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Huang Taiji did not care too much about what the name of the country would be changed to after the Li Dynasty. What he cared about most was that the previous name could no longer be used.

In this way, Huang Taiji used the vassal strategy that he planned to use in Jinhai Town of Yangzhen under Zhenjiang Castle to completely conquer the Li Dynasty.

As a result, the Li Dynasty, which had been named for more than 200 years starting from Li Chenggui, the ancestor of Li Cheng, suddenly became a vassal land of the Qing Dynasty and the Ning Kingdom.

Of course, in order to praise the docility, obedience and cooperation of the leader of the Li Dynasty, Li Zhu, Huang Taiji also greatly raised his canonization by one level, from the previous level of a county prince to a prince level, and named him Prince Hening.

Then, continue to be hereditary and keep peace forever.

Prince He Ning is not Prince He Shuo.

The title of Prince Heshuo would not be granted to outsiders, except for the descendants of Boar Skin and the descendants of the Qing Dynasty clan, at least it would not be granted easily to Han people or court people.

Although Huang Taiji values ​​​​Li Zhu more, he will not grant him the title of Prince Heshuo.

However, even if he is not Prince Heshuo, being granted the title of a prince who is not from a royal family as Li Zhu has already shown that Huang Taiji values ​​​​him.

Therefore, Li Jie was quite satisfied with the fact that Jin was granted the title of Prince.

Of course, this was the only thing Huang Taiji did after entering Changdeokgung Palace in Hanyang City, which made him feel relatively satisfied.

The remaining items made him deeply dissatisfied, such as appointing ministers to supervise the country, setting up cities all over the country, setting up garrison flag camps, etc.

In the past few years, although the Li Dynasty's affairs had been cleared up, neither Huang Taiji nor the minister in charge of the affairs of the Li Dynasty easily interfered in the internal affairs of the Li Dynasty.

As long as the internal affairs of the dynasty did not involve the Qing Dynasty, or as long as they were not major matters such as canonization, dethronement, rebellion, etc., basically everything was handled by Li Zhu, the leader of the Li Dynasty, and his small court.

However, things are different now. After appointing ministers to supervise the country and deploying garrison camps to guard the Eight Banners, the new Qing Dynasty and Ning Kingdom are no longer able to be independent in everything.

These matters decided by Huang Taiji were also explained to Li Zhu when he summoned him two days ago.

On the first day of December, Huang Tae-gil held a gathering of ministers at the Injeongjeon Hall of Changdeokgung Palace. He just announced in public a series of decisions that had already been made.

In this regard, Li Jie was powerless to object except to kowtow to the leader and express his gratitude.

At this court meeting at the Renzheng Palace, Huang Taiji first issued an order to change the name of the previous country of the Li Dynasty, and at the same time named the country's leader Li Zhu as Prince of Qing and Ning, and then announced a series of other decisions.

First, the Ming Dynasty decree commended the contribution made by Jierhalang, the king of Dorozheng County, in suppressing the rebellion of the Northern Second Province of the Li Dynasty and Chungju Prefecture, and at the same time restored his title of Prince Heshuo Zheng.

Secondly, the imperial edict commended Goosan Bezinikan for his contribution in suppressing the rebellion of the Northern Second Province of the Lee Dynasty and leading the imperial servant army to suppress the local rebellion in Chungju Prefecture, and restored his previous title of Jingzhen Baile.

.

At the same time, Huang Taiji appointed Jingjin Beilenikan as the minister responsible for the imperial envoy to the Korean Supervisory State, and ordered him to lead the Manchu, Mongolian and Han people in Jiulian City who were originally under his command to settle in Nanhan Mountain City, and set up the Yamen to the Korean Supervisory State in Nanhan Mountain City.

Thirdly, it was expressly appointed that Ning Wanwo, a bachelor of the Neihongwen Academy with a black forehead, and Ning Wanwo, a bachelor of the Neiji Academy of Secretaries, were appointed as the left and right counselors of the Yamen of the Supervisory Office in the DPRK to assist in the affairs of the Supervisory Office of the DPRK.

Fourth, Bao Chengxian, a bachelor of the Secretariat of the Interior who came all the way from Shengjing to serve in the army and made a significant contribution to Huang Taiji’s decision-making, was also officially appointed as the new Secretary of the Interior at the court meeting in Injeongjeon, Changdeokgung Palace.

He became a bachelor of the academy, filling the vacancy left by Fan Wencheng's death.

In addition, Huang Taiji basically did not make any major adjustments to the original Li Chaoyi government and Liucao officials.

These people have been very cooperative with Huang Taiji's various measures since he arrived at Byokjeokwan and entered Hanyang City from the beginning, so they have basically won Huang Taiji's trust, maintaining their original status, and some have even been slightly improved.

During this call for shaving of hair and surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Ruifeng, the leader of the Li Chao government, was at the forefront of everything and worked very hard, so he still retained his position as leader.

Gu Liao

And another Zuo Yizheng, Jin Zidian, who performed very well, personally led a group of servants of the Koreans who were the first to shave their heads and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and led the troops led by Jierhalang and Kong Youde to massacre Zhongzhou Prefecture.

So I also gained trust.

Not only did he continue to serve as his left-hand political advisor, but he was also entrusted with the important task of marshal of the three military forces in the south of the Ning Kingdom. He was asked to lead the imperial servants stationed in Zhongzhou who had shaved their heads and changed their uniforms to go south as soon as possible, while strictly carrying out the process of shaving their heads.

order, while suppressing any new incidents that may occur.

As for Lee Si-baek, the right-hand member of the Uijeong government, although he was not that outstanding in shaving his hair and changing clothes, because he came from a wealthy family in the Lee Dynasty, his every word and deed had a great influence on the civil, military, and eunuchs of the court.

, so I was able to stay on this time.

Correspondingly, Li Chaobing Cao Banshu Shen Qiyuan, who received Huang Taiji's attention when he greeted Huang Taiji at Bi Tiguan, also discouraged some people because he publicly scolded Li Cao Banshu Jin Yu who opposed shaving his hair and changing clothes.

Suspicious of him, he got a new position.

Huang Taiji passed over Li Zhu and directly ordered him to concurrently serve as the marshal of the North Second Road of Hening Kingdom in the name of the peace treaty of Hening Kingdom. He asked him to recruit soldiers and horses from the Hwanghae Province in Gyeonggi Province and go to the destroyed Pyongyang city to take charge.

Cleaning up the mess on the North Road with Ningguo, while continuing to lead the Korean troops to contribute to the attack on Zhenjiang Fort.

Regarding this arrangement made by Huang Taiji, the puppet emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Shen Qiyuan naturally showed an unusual "gratitude".

In fact, ever since Huang Taiji settled in Changdeok Palace in Hanyang City, Shen Jiyuan has been worried that his true identity will be exposed if someone reveals it, so he has no time to care about whether he can get a promotion.

Especially after the "Chungju Incident" occurred, Shen Qiyuan lived in fear every day, fearing that he would be suddenly arrested and beheaded at some point, always feeling that he might not be able to escape this disaster.

However, what made him feel extremely fortunate was that the "Chungju Incident" came to an end, allowing him to escape the disaster without any danger.

Of course, the reason why he was able to escape was "thanks to" the indiscriminate killing of officials, gentry, soldiers and civilians by Jierhalang, Nikan, Kong Youde, Jin Zidian and others during the uprising in Zhongzhou Prefecture.

If Jierhalang and others had tried to surrender at that time, someone would have unpreparedly exposed the various connections between Shen Qiyuan and Quan Ming, Li Zhilong and others.

If this happens, Shen Qiyuan and many of his accomplices who have endured the humiliation and are still hiding will probably be completely destroyed soon.

In fact, he initially took the risk of sending people to Chungju Prefecture to deliver a message, suggesting that Quan Ming, Li Zhilong and others abandon Chungju Prefecture and lead the resisting soldiers and civilians to evacuate to the south, even to Jeju Island, which also contained his selfish motives.

The reason why he suggested that at that time was that he did not want Quan Ping and others to defend Zhongzhou Fucheng and eventually become prisoners, and then implicate Shen Qiyuan and other accomplices.

It's better now. Zhongzhou Fucheng was massacred, and Quan Ming, Li Zhilong and others were all dead.

Suddenly, there was no evidence to prove it, and Shen Qiyuan and his accomplices who were in the dark were actually safe.

However, after such a huge adjustment and change, the comrades Shen Qi had secretly connected with and the strength he had accumulated over the years were severely damaged.

Needless to say, the civil and military officials of the pro-Ming sect and the rebel soldiers and horses of the second road in the north were almost completely wiped out. Now the city there is in ruins, there are no soldiers and horses, and only a large number of displaced refugees who are hungry and cold are left.

As for the so-called Royal Camp Hall, Guard Hall, and Robbery Hall troops and horses in Gyeonggi Province and inside and outside Hanyang City, although they basically maintained their original organizational structure, they were organized into banners and had new subordinate relationships.

Although the middle and lower-level military attachés Shen Qi recruited over the years are still in various armies, after going through various changes such as being shaved off, demoted to the Qing Dynasty, and organized into flags, it will be difficult for them to be as capable as they used to be. Trusted.

What makes him most worried is that after the situation changes, if someone among his former comrades, greedy for glory and wealth, reports his previous plans to the Qing Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty's permanent supervising government office, then he will also say that the ship will be capsized. It will capsize.

It was precisely because of this that when he heard with his own ears Huang Taiji's order at the gate of Renzheng Palace that he was ordered to serve as the marshal of the military and horse capital and go to Pyongyang City to clean up the mess, he was so happy that he almost burst into tears.

Of course, in addition to this, several translators who had been following Nikan and working for him were promoted and reused this time under Nikan's recommendation.

Han Ze, the younger brother of Han Run, the former deputy director of the Lifan Yuan and a traitor to the imperial court, was appointed as the Yiqing Zhangjing and Ningguo soldier Cao Yijinfu who was stationed in the imperial court to supervise the government.

Another adulterous translator, Xindali, who had defected to the Kingdom of Houjin in the early years of Tiancong, was appointed as the deputy capital commander under Xianglan who was responsible for the newly compiled Goryeo records, namely Meile Zhangjing.

During this time of the Eastern Expedition, Ji'erhalang's Xianglan Banner changed its fortunes and changed from the miserable situation under the Zhenjiang Fort before. Not only was it invincible, but it also gained huge gains.

In addition to the huge gains in gold, silver, food and supplies, the gains in young men and soldiers Aha far exceeded the men and horses of his banner he brought this time.

The large number of Qingzhuang Dingkou captured and collected by Xianglan's banner not only completely made up for the losses of bannermen, Han troops and soldiers Aha's troops caused by Niulu under his banner before in Zhenjiang Fort, but also the extra Qingzhuang Dingkou from the DPRK,

It is still enough to select and compile a single Chaoren Gushan.

It's just that Huang Taiji looks down on the Chaoren's combat power, and currently has no plans to organize the Chaoren Eight Banners or the Hening Eight Banners, so Jierhalang is not allowed to set up another Chaoren Gushan under the Xianglan banner, and only allows

On the premise of making up for Mengniulu's loss of Dingkou, he added a court official, Mele Zhangjing.

Otherwise, after this Eastern Expedition, Ji'erhalang's Xianglan Banner will soon have dozens of new Niulu formed by young men from the imperial servant army.

However, the restrictions set by Huang Taiji were not of great significance. Although he only allowed Jierharang to add a court member, Mele Zhangjing, under the banner of Xianglan, he did not specify how many court men Niulu could be commanded by this Mele Zhangjing.

.

Under such circumstances, Jierhalang, the leader of the Xianglan Banner who had just been restored to the title of Prince Heshuo due to his merits, was naturally not polite. After the decree was issued, he immediately sent people to select the best people from the court and compiled a list of them.
