Li Dingguo, who had scared Shunzhi so much that he almost wanted to rule the river, was defeated by Wu Sangui. The war in the southwest was very smooth. Nanming was about to be over. Shunzhi was so happy that the Ministry of Rites issued the "Shaving Order" in the southwest in advance. In order to avoid any problems in the "war of destruction", Hong Chengchou, who had been idle in Changsha, also went to Guiyang to participate in the military agreement to enter Yunnan.

Shunzhi's move was actually because Hong Chengchou had been planning on the front line for several years and knew very well about the Ming army in the southwest. Now the army was invading the southwest according to the "three routes to enter Yunnan" plan he deployed. Now he has left the people idle in Changsha and is only responsible for the transportation of food and grass in the army. So Shunzhi wanted to ask Hong Chengchou to go to Guiyang to help Doni with advice, and then tell him the merits after the war. This was considered a perfect story for the monarch and ministers. But unexpectedly, this incident caused an uproar in the capital. The prince of Manchu Beiledu said that the emperor wanted Hong Chengchou, the Han people, to suppress the Han generals and schools in Manzhou, to rob the first merit of the country!

I don’t know how the trend of Hong Chengchou has risen. Ji Du and Du Eryou, who are the most fiercer to the appointment of Han officials, both went to Guangdong. They all said that snakes are not good without heads. Ji Du and Du Eryou are not there, and the trend of the trend under the underworld is even more fierce, which caught Shunzhi off guard and was puzzled how the wave of opposition started.

Those who opposed it said that the basic national policy of the Qing Dynasty was to respect Manchuria, and Manchuria was the foundation, and the Han people should not be valued, and the Han people should not be allowed to make great contributions. In fact, the real idea was that which family of them had no children and went south with the county prince Doni. This was all pointing to the division of military achievements in the battle to destroy the country. However, the emperor asked Hong Chengchou to go to Guiyang to make the final contributions. Hong Chengchou also had the Han generals under his command, so he would definitely have to divide the contributions. In this way, how many military achievements could be left for their children? The children of Manzhou worked hard to put the prosperous days in the capital, but went to the south to fight the Southern Barbarians every day. What was the purpose? It was not military achievements and futures! Now the emperor gave the emperor to the Han people. Can the whole Manzhou agree? It would definitely not agree to reads;!

It is related to the future of their own children, but Prince Jian is not here to call. Manzhou is also united in opposition to the emperor. In order to prove that their statement is tenable, they turned out the edict of the favor of Shunzhi ascended the throne. The first of this edict is to emphasize that the princes of Manzhou are responsible for the founding of the country. Those who have great merits and hard work should be given special rituals to be loyal to the virtuous; the second is to give the title of the princes and sons of the princes; the third is to say that the founding ministers of Manchu states, either plan to win the temple, or make great achievements, and expand their territory. They should all be given titles of Duke and Marquis Bo Shi, and the great certificates of the country, and they will be given eternal endlessness; the fourth is to say that since the founding of the country, Manchu generals and other officials should be given the honor of the emperor.

These four points together point to one thing, that is, all titles in the Qing Dynasty should be taken over by the Manzhou people, all important positions should be held by the Manzhou people, and all great contributions should be won by the Manzhou people.

Han people?

The country was defeated by our children in Manzhou, what does it have to do with the Han people? What the Han people have to do is to be slaves of our Manchus, farm for our Manchus, weave cloth for our Manchus, make things for our Manchus, and work hard for our Manchus! If there is a good-looking daughter in the family, it is necessary to choose and enjoy the Manchus! Apart from these, what else is the use of the Han people? No bullshit! If the Han people are useful, can this country be defeated by our Manchus?

Of course, Shunzhi was only nine years old when the eunuch was issued, so he didn't know what the eunuch was saying. This eunuch was issued by Dorgon, but it was unanimously supported and agreed by the whole Manzhou. However, even though Shunzhi was young and ignorant when the eunuch was issued, he could not deny that the eunuch was issued by him, the emperor. Therefore, Shunzhi was very frustrated. What he was frustrated was not that the eunuch from Manzhou brought out his eunuch to oppose him. But that Manzhou misunderstood the intention of his emperor.

Shunzhi never thought of reusing the Han people and carrying the Han people to a position like the Manchus. Otherwise, he would not have said anything about Suksaha and Oboi, the slaves, what the Manchus and Han families have. Yes, Hong Chengchou was indeed re-activated and reused. The authority he gave Hong Chengchou to manage the five provinces was that he had never had since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. He was a senior official who could control the military and political affairs of the five provinces!

The power is so great that no one among the Han officials (including the Han army flagsmen) owned it. Even the four kings of Pingxi, Dingnan, Pingnan and Jingnan, who were princes, were limited to Sichuan, Guangxi, or Guangdong, with only one province, while Hong Chengchou could control five provinces, which was almost equal to the power of Prince Yu, Duoduo, the Dingguo General, and King Yingji, Ajige, the Jingyuan General, and was far more than the power of Hong Chengchou, who was ordered by Dorgon to recruit Jiangnan!

But wasn’t it because the war in the south collapsed at that time, and everyone in Manzhou was afraid of Li Dingguo, who was famous for his two kings. Shunzhi had to use Hong Chengchou, so he hoped that Hong Chengchou could stabilize the south for him and let the Han army act as cannon fodder, instead of the children of Manzhou who continued to die in the south?

Shunzhi was very depressed. When he first launched Hong Chengchou, the Eight Banners unanimously opposed it. It was only after he insisted on it. Hong Chengchou did not disappoint his expectations and sent troops to pacify Huguang and Guangdong and Guangxi in more than a year. Faced with the Yunnan-Guizhou area under the control of the powerful Daxi Army, Hong Chengchou advocated defending as a battle and launched a large attack when conditions were ripe. At the same time, he stepped up the surrender of the commander of the Daxi Army. This plan was also agreed and supported by Shunzhi. However, because the war in the south lasted for several years, the military expenditure surged, and the imperial finances were in a comprehensive emergency. In addition, the Manchu soldiers were repeatedly struggling and local officials and civilians were exhausted. Therefore, not only the whole Manchu was dissatisfied with Hong Chengchou, but even the Han ministers in the court were increasingly dissatisfied with Hong Chengchou, and even Shunzhi himself lost patience.

Shunzhi's greatest wish was to unify Yunnan and Guizhou as soon as possible, completely destroy the Southern Ming Dynasty, and thus allow the Qing Dynasty to truly unify the world. But after all, he was young and, like Chongzhen back then, gradually lost patience. Although he had never criticized Hong Chengchou at all, Hong Chengchou still realized from the will that the emperor was no longer patient. In addition, the whole country of Manzhou was always dissatisfied with him, so he was afraid that Hong Chengchou, who became the second in Yuan Chonghuan, submitted a memorial to the court for dismissal on the grounds that he was "crime, incompetent, and old disease".

Hong Chengchou's five provinces can be dismissed, but the Daxi Army, which guards the natural dangers of Yunnan and Guizhou, and the Yongli regime under its protection, cannot be solved with just one edict. It is not easy to defend, but it is difficult to attack. If you take a risk and attack, you will lose your troops and lose your generals, how will this end end?

Shunzhi, who received the request for dismissal of Hong Chengchou, was very troubled. If Hong Chengchou was relieved, who could go to the south to take charge and share his worries? Although Hong Chengchou had no inch in a few years, at least he stabilized the front line and did not allow Sun Kewang to occupy Hunan and Hubei. If he changed his person, he would probably be far inferior to Hong Chengchou. If he had finally stabilized the situation, Shunzhi would not have regretted the medicine to take;

It was really God bless the Qing Dynasty. Just as Hong Chengchou was helpless, he was preparing to return to Beijing to receive punishment, just as Shunzhi was restless and had a headache to replace people, and how to deal with the war situation in the south, news came about the domestic strife between Sun Kewang and Li Ding of the "Master of the Western Army". This news made Hong Chengchou see hope and Shunzhi see hope. The patience of the monarch and ministers was surprisingly good. After waiting for a few months with anxiety, another great news came, and Sun Kewang was defeated and surrendered!

Overjoyed, so overjoyed!

The elderly Hong Chengchou recovered his spirit and ambitiously reported to the court that the "three routes to enter Yunnan" strategy. The young emperor also ambitiously sent a large army to the southwest. However, while the army left the capital, Shunzhi ordered a decree to receive Hong Chengchou's power under Doni. Hong Chengchou, who was preparing to show his ambitions in the southwest, suddenly became a grain transfer officer with no soldiers, no generals, no mobilization, and no command power.

Hong Chengchou was disappointed. He did not expect that the emperor, who had always believed in him, solved his power when the major event was expected to succeed and left him idle again. Shunzhi was not uneasy or guilty about Hong Chengchou's arrangements, because he believed that since the strategy of entering Yunnan could be implemented, the emperor would respect the ancestor system and weaken the appointment of Han officials. Back then, he used Hong Chengchou as the governor of the five provinces to make use of it. Now, the governor of the five provinces has no value in use, and naturally he would not let the destruction of the country be in the hands of a Han man. Even if the Han man was loyal to him, he often talked about "the acquisition of the king and the ministers".

At the core, Shunzhi never believed in the Han people. Although he had liquidated Dorgon, his political thinking continued Dorgon's ideas - using Han to control the Han Dynasty but not using Han.

During the regent of Dorgon, he advocated the Han Dynasty to regulate Han, but never used Han officials. He only drove Han officials to act as the pioneers and cannon fodder for going south to destroy the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, there would be no rebellion from Li Chengdong, Jin Shengheng, Wang Deren, Jiang Xiang and others.

The rebellion of Li Chengdong and others was ultimately due to the lack of attention from the Qing court, and the titles and rewards that were equal to their military achievements. During Dorgon's regent, Hong Chengchou had just a false reputation like a bachelor of the Neiwen Academy. He only temporarily replaced Duoduo in Jiangnan when the situation in Jiangnan was deteriorated due to the "Shaving Order" in the second year of Shunzhi. He was idle in the capital. After that, Dorgon summoned him to ask if there was anything difficult to solve, but he never gave him an important position and ordered him to stand alone. People like Hong Chengchou were not valued by Dorgon, let alone the rest of the Han officials.

When dealing with the royal princes and princes of Manzhou who were known as "the most precious thing in the stomach", Dorgon did not hesitate to give or promote his title. The six ministers of the Qing court, ministers, deputy chiefs of the Eight Banners, deputy chiefs, guards, generals of the garrison, generals and generals to go to the expedition were all served by Manzhou people. In addition, the governors and governors from all over the country were also appointed by Manzhou people, and only a few of those who came from the Han army could get a share of the pie.

After Shunzhi took power, although he had to use Hong Chengchou as the governor of the five provinces due to repeated wars in the south, he had to withstand the pressure from the upper and lower levels of Manchuria. The Prime Minister had done more to treat the royal family in Manchuria than Dorgon. He set the titles of Prince Li Daishan, Prince Zheng Jiergalang, Prince Yu Duofeng, Prince Su Haoge, Prince Chengyi Shuosai, Prince Kele Yuetuo, Prince Shuncheng Luke Dehun as the prince who was hereditary and did not surrender to ensure that the descendants of Aisin Gioro occupied overwhelming any force in the Qing court.

In addition to the seven princes who were decisive in the hereditary period, Shunzhi also added candidates for political affairs in the ninth year of Shunzhi, which led to as many as 17 political affairs in Manzhou, namely Shuosai, Shuosai, Duroqian, Wakda, Xianxiang, Fushou, Yuele, Duroan, Duroxin, Duni, Duromin, Ledu, Duromin, Duromin, Ledu, Durobe, Shangshan, Crown Jidu, Dueryou, Dulan, etc. There were more ministers in the political affairs. From the eighth year of Shunzhi to the twelfth year, Shunzhi appointed more than 30 ministers in the political affairs, such as Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, Xifu, etc., the Minister of Revenue, Che Ke, the Minister of Revenue, Jueluo Langqiu, the Minister of War, and the Minister of War, the Minister of Gushan, Ezhenming Andali, the Minister of War, and the Minister of the Lianghuang Banner and other banners, Oboi, Suksah, and Ebilong.

Among the dozens of princes and ministers of the political discussion, only Fan Wencheng was a Han native. Ning Wan, and these two were Han people who had been in Manzhou as early as the Later Jin Dynasty, so they were long regarded as bannermen rather than Han people. No Han official who surrendered after the Qing army entered the pass was able to be ranked in the meeting of princes and ministers of the political discussion. No Han official who surrendered outside the pass was able to attend.

In addition to these, Shunzhi also awarded the children of Manzhou as officials, but even so. When he was considering using the situation, the children of Manzhou were still indignant. He believed that the emperor abandoned the Qing Dynasty's policy with Manchu as the fundamental, and began to rely on the Han officials and neglect his family's reads;!

Fortunately, the emperor could still hear the voice of the banner, so he decisively took Hong Laoer's power and left him idle. The Eight Banners did not want to fight and kill Hong Chengchou. After all, this Han man made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. It would be unreasonable to kill him, but it would not be enough to give him great merits. Originally, Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Kong Youde's Han people who were crowned kings, so they had divided a lot of territory in the Qing Dynasty. How could they be named Han people as kings?

To be honest, there are not many people in Manzhou who are sad about Kong Youde, Shang Kexi's death and Geng Jimao's surrender. Instead, most of them are very happy because these Han princes can either die or surrender, and they can recover the territory that Dorgon originally promised them. How many children in Manzhou can they raise? How many children in Manzhou can they arrange? How much wealth can they collect?

When relatives and friends gathered together in private in the flag, many people heard that Guangdong scholars were not a useless guy. They could only understand wherever they were, and they would definitely not be able to say it.

As a Han official, just help with things. You can’t always give them great rewards. The achievements of destroying the country are too great. If Hong Chengchou is really good, the court will not be able to give him a title of king?

Pooh!

Now the people who are working hard in the southwest are our children in Manchuria, and the commander of the army is our prince of Manchuria. This great achievement cannot be lost to him, Hong Chengchou! If you want to be the king, dream about you!

When it comes to leading troops to fight, from the first year of Shunzhi to the present, which large-scale war was not led by the princes and nobles of Manzhou in the formation? It was not an attack that was invincible and invincible!

In the Shanhaiguan War in the first year of Shunzhi, the Regent Dorgon personally took charge and commanded the Eight Banners to charge! After entering the pass, the Eight Banners army was constantly working. One after another, Prince Yu Duoduo, Prince Ying Ajige, Prince Su Haoge, Prince Zheng Jiergalang, Prince Xun Mandahai, Prince Duanzhong Boluo, Prince Jingjin Nikan, Prince Qian Wakeda, and Belelekdehun and other royal family kings, led the Eight Banners. Supplemented by the four kings of Pingxi, Dingnan, Jingnan, Pingnan, and Pingnan, as well as the Han soldiers of Xu Shungong, and the green camp soldiers composed of Han people in various provinces conquered the south and the north. They were unstoppable and quickly unified most of China, laying the foundation for the Qing Dynasty to unify the world!

Among them, which battle is necessary to use the Han people as the commander? Which battle is the Han people able to achieve this merit!

It’s unreasonable. We can’t even ask a Han man to jump over our heads!

The Eight Banners were passionate and unanimously opposed Shunzhi because they were asked to go to Guiyang to help Doni. Even if Shunzhi asked Oboi and others to speak, the great contribution of destroying the country must be ours. Hong Chengchou was just going to help Prince Xin to come up with a plan, and he could not steal the first contribution. But he still couldn't suppress the storm under his jurisdiction and had to surrender Hong Chengchou.

Shunzhi was really embarrassed to slap himself in the face and transfer Hong Chengchou back, so he had to go to Kunning Palace to find the Empress Dowager to show his advice.

Queen Mother Borbojit said, "Hong Chengchou is a long-awaited official, both civil and military. He made great contributions before he was ordered to pacify Jiangnan. This time, he still used his moral character to support Sun Kewang to return to our Leyu. The situation in the southwest has improved. The army is progressing smoothly now, and the emperor uses him to help Doni, which is also a good thing. Doni is young after all, and has not gone through the battle. The Nanming side is defeated so quickly. What if he underestimates the enemy and falls into the ambush of the Ming army?

So, it is not a bad thing to ask Hong Chengchou to mention it next to you. The people in the banner have little knowledge. If you are the emperor, don’t pay attention to them. Let them make trouble. I will support you. I hope these servants will not be able to rebel. As for the post-war meritorious deeds, I feel that I should be rewarded for Hong Chengchou. When Dorgon was in the past, he promised to destroy the Southern Ming and be crowned kings. Now, we two are waiting for this day. We should not be harsh on the meritorious personnel. We should do whatever we should do."

Originally, Shunzhi was so obsessed with what the Empress Dowager said, and it was similar to what he thought, but in the end, he heard the Empress Dowager talk about Dorgon and said that he wanted to be the king of Hong Chengchou. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and blurted out: "I didn't expect that it's been so many years. My mother is still thinking about Dorgon."

"you!"

The son's words made Bolbozit's face turn white suddenly, and his eyes, which had been squinting, opened wide, and he said angrily: "Son, what do you mean? Are you here to mock your mother today? Being presumptuous!"

"My son dare not!"

Shunzhi knew that he had said too much, so he was so scared that he quickly apologized: "My son has no such thoughts reads; Mom, don't be angry!" But he was thinking in his heart that he had not told the story of Empress Zhuang's advice to surrender General Hong, otherwise Mom's face would be ugly.

Borjigit was not really angry with her son, but what her son said made her very uncomfortable, so she had to groan. Su Malagu, who was beside her, also served a bowl of tea with tactfulness. Borjigit took it over and pretended to drink tea, and broke the matter.

Shunzhi also hurriedly talked about Hong Chengchou's affairs, and he said, "Actually, when Hong Chengchou was ordered to leave the capital, he was looking at the face of the emperor's mother, and gave him a special reward of python robes, hoods, boots and socks, turquoise, two pairs of bows and arrows, saddles and bridles, and five horses. He let him take office in a glorious manner, and made him think about the good things that the Qing Dynasty is to him. But to him, he can't trust him twelve times. After all, he is a Han Chinese, not Manzhou.

People. Moreover, you think that Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty had favored him and was promoted to the extreme. Within a few years, he became governor, governor, commander, and upright. He was so glorious. But what did Hong Chengchou do in the end? He betrayed Chongzhen." Speaking of this, Shunzhi paused and said again: "This kind of treacherous and stingy person is the most hated in the minds of the Han people."

After hearing this, Borjigid sneered and sarcastically said, "You look down on Hong Chengchou, why do you want to use him more? As the emperor, you are really ashamed of you! Hong Chengchou, who is over 60 years old, has been working hard for you on the front line for eight years, but you look down on others. He pointed at him with the court officials and criticized him. You said, what you said just now is something that the emperor could say? He judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. Hong Chengchou's efforts are not thankful. Since you dislike him, why don't you send someone else?"

The Empress Dowager's accusation made Shunzhi unable to speak, so she could only say, "My mom, I'm just a joke, why are you so angry? Alas, why are you doing this for an irrelevant Han man? What should I do if I really want to deal with Hong Chengchou? Why do you have to protect him wholeheartedly?"

The Empress Dowager said unhappily: "Now that your wings are hard, you always use words to stab me. You always speak and do things on a whim and don't consider the consequences at all. You might as well ask yourself, are you doing things like a emperor in a ten thousand charity?"

"My mom, I'm not what you think. But I need to be cautious about how to arrange Hong Chengchou. My mom doesn't know that Hong Chengchou's son Hong Shiming fell into the hands of the Taiping gang." Shunzhi said aggrievedly.

Hong Shiming was sent to Guangdong to hold a provincial examination by the Ministry of Rites, but his whereabouts were unknown due to the fall of Guangzhou. After the Ministry of Rites reported this matter, Shunzhi thought that Hong Shiming had been killed by the Taiping Army. Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou wrote a letter to himself that his son was still alive and was now a prisoner of the Taiping Army.

Of course, Borjijit knew about Hong Shiming. She shook her head and said to Shunzhi: "What do you mean is that Hong Chengchou will refuse to serve the Qing Dynasty because of his son?"

Shunzhi hurriedly said, "That's not the case. My son thought Hong Chengchou was not that kind of person. But this matter became an excuse for his subordinates to attack Hong Chengchou. My son had already issued an order to ask Jidu to rescue Hong Shiming, but the Eight Banners are making a big fuss. They have to force my son to recall Hong Chengchou. My son was unable to make up his mind, so he came to ask his mother for an idea."

The empress dowager thought for a while and said, "What can you do if you have any ideas? You don't doubt the employer, but you don't need to doubt it. Hong Chengchou was used by you back then. Now that he has made contributions, he has worked hard for you, the emperor. Now that he has even fallen into the hands of the Ming army, you, the emperor, do not comfort him, but instead doubt him, thinking of recalling him. You said, will this work? My mother still say the same thing. As long as he helps you destroy the Southern Ming Dynasty, you should fulfill Dorgon's promise."

Shunzhi hurriedly said, "This is not true! Even if my son doesn't recall Hong Chengchou, it is impossible for him to be king!"

"Forget it, now you are the emperor, and you are the one who is the Qing Dynasty. My mother is old and her words are ugly. How to deal with Hong Chengchou? You, the emperor, decide for yourself. My mother only reminds you one thing. Even if you listen to those words under your jurisdiction, you can't be too wronged if you don't repay Hong Chengchou's great achievements. Do you know? In addition, you have to think about saving his son, so you can't let him lose his son when he is old and have no good end to work hard for our Qing Dynasty."

After saying that, the empress dowager ignored her son, but stood up from the chair and walked towards the west side hall without looking back. Over there, the third prince Xuanye, who had just returned to the palace, was playing with the second brother Fuquan. She hadn't seen Xuanye, the grandson, for some days, and was thinking very much.

Shunzhi, who was left by his mother, left Cining Palace in a depressed mood. Although he decided not to recall Hong Chengchou, he was still depressed and went to find his Tomafa to relieve his depression.
