Liu Xin was stunned when she heard this: "Huang Taiji is everywhere, which Huang Taiji are you talking about?"
"It's not Huang Taiji, it's Huang Taiji... Do you know about Xiaozhuang's husband and Fulin's father?"
Liu Xin suddenly realized: "Oh, I know! Huang Taiji is the unlucky guy in "The Deer and the Cauldron" who was cuckolded by Dorgon and died quickly."
"...That one is considered unofficial at best." Gao Pingshi laughed dryly and said, "Huang Taiji is very powerful."
"Unofficial history? You mean he wasn't cuckolded?" Liu Xin looked obviously unconvinced.
"This... he might have worn it after he died, but he probably didn't wear it before he died."
"you sure?"
"I don't care about being sure. In short, there is no record of this in official history, and mainstream scholars in later generations do not recognize it. Even these mainstream scholars do not even think that Dorgon entered the inner courtyard of the palace after Huang Taiji died.
There was some adultery with Xiaozhuang, and I think Dorgon did this just to show off his status. Maybe he slept with a palace maid or something, but it probably wouldn't be Xiaozhuang. The purpose of Dorgon's approach is roughly equivalent to the art of war.
'Show strength' in."
Liu Xin shook her head and said: "But I remember that when I later accused Dorgon of his crime, I once said that Fulin called him 'Emperor Father and Regent'. Isn't this evidence?"
"It is said that the father's name of 'Emperor Father and Regent' is analogous to 'Shangfu' and 'Zhongfu', and it cannot be ruled out that it is a means for Xiaozhuang to teach the young emperor to stabilize Dorgon - you have to know that Xiaozhuang is recorded in the history
Zhuang's only hobby is reading history, and it is normal for her to learn this skill from history books."
"It's still wrong, it's still wrong." Liu Xin thought about it carefully, and suddenly her eyes lit up and said, "Ah, I remembered that before Xiaozhuang died, he told Kangxi not to bury her with Huang Taiji. You said this is not the case.
Is there something obviously wrong?”
Gao Pragmatic rolled his eyes: "What's the problem?"
Liu Xin was stunned: "Shouldn't husband and wife be born in the same quilt and die in the same cave? She is unwilling to be buried with Huang Taiji. Isn't this a big problem?"
"First of all, Xiaozhuang said this to Kang Mazi before he died: 'Taizong's mausoleum has been enshrined for a long time, so I can't touch it lightly. Besides, I can't bear to leave you and my son in my heart, so I chose a place to bury me near your father's Xiaoling Mausoleum.
.'——There are two reasons she mentioned here: first, Huang Taiji had been dead for decades at that time, and Xiaozhuang felt that he should not be alarmed; second, she was reluctant to part with her son and grandson."
"Why do you still have grandchildren? Wasn't Kangxi still alive and well at that time? She said this to Kangxi!"
"He is alive, but don't you know that the imperial mausoleum has to be prepared a long time ago. By then, Kang Mazi's grave had already been found, just waiting for him to die. Moreover, Xiaozhuang said he was buried next to her son.
"
"I remember that her relationship with Fulin was extremely bad because of Concubine Dong E's affair, right?"
"Probably because of this reason, she feels some kind of guilt towards Fulin? Besides, it is possible for a son to hate his mother for the rest of his life, but who can be the mother to hate her son for the rest of her life? She wanted to be closer to her son after she died.
Isn’t this a normal thought for an old woman?”
"Well... what you said is not completely unreasonable, but I still find it a bit weird."
Gao pragmatic sighed and said: "The above are only part of it. In addition, you have to know that when Huang Taiji was alive, Xiaozhuang's status in the harem was not high, only ranked fifth.
Speaking of which, she was not qualified to be buried with Huang Taiji. However, when her son became emperor, her status was suddenly elevated. After Kang Mazi succeeded to the throne, her status as the imperial grandmother became even higher.
But no matter what, at least when Huang Taiji was still there, she was almost dispensable in the harem."
Liu Xin was surprised and said: "She is such a powerful person, but she is not favored in front of Huang Taiji? Who is there in front of her?"
Gao Pingshi said: "The harem of Huang Taiji during his lifetime was like this: the middle palace was Queen Qingninggong, who was called King Fujin. Horqin Borjigit's name was Zhezhe (that is, Queen Xiaoduanwen, who was Xiaozhuang's aunt).
But it is not the current Menggu Zhezhe in this book who occupies the first place.
Secondly, the East Palace is occupied by Concubine Chen of Guanju Palace, who is called Dong Dafujin, and Horqin Borjigit, named Hailanzhu (namely Min Huigong and Concubine Yuan, who is Xiaozhuang's biological sister), ranks second.
Then in the West Palace, there was the imperial concubine of Linzhi Palace, named Xida Fujin, and Abahai Borjigit, named Na Mu Zhong (that is, the imperial concubine of Yijing), ranked third.
Then there is the Concubine Shu from the Yanqing Palace in the Second East Palace, who is called Dongfang Fujin. Abahai Borjijit's name is Batma Hong (i.e. Concubine Kanghui), ranking fourth.
Next, the concubine Zhuang of the Yongfu Palace in the West Palace, called Xifujin, Horqin Borjijit, named Bumubutai (i.e. Xiaozhuang), ranked fifth."
"There are actually four of her above her? It seems that she is not very favored." Liu Xin thought for a while, nodded and said: "Since she is not favored, her relationship with Huang Taiji must not be that deep. This is not the case.
Over the past few decades, she has naturally become less and less concerned about Huang Taiji, so it makes sense that she would not be buried with him."
Gao pragmatic nodded and added: "Another point is that Queen Xiaoduan was already buried in Huang Taiji's Zhaoling Mausoleum at that time. If Xiaozhuang was buried again, where would it be appropriate to put it?
If you replace Empress Xiaoduan and move Xiaoduan away, this move would be a bit excessive. Firstly, Empress Xiaoduan is Xiaozhuang's aunt, and secondly, it would be quite ominous to disturb the deceased, but you have to find another place.
I guess Xiaozhuang is not happy either.
Furthermore, in fact, according to the tradition of the Han people, the queen can be buried with the emperor, but she can also be buried without the emperor. Both situations are not uncommon. At that time, the Tatar Qing Dynasty had already secured its power, and many times it had to consider
It’s the tradition of the Han people.”
Liu Xin waved her hands in disappointment: "It turns out that so many legends are false. It's really disappointing."
"What's the matter, do you still expect there to be some earth-shattering love story between Dorgon and Xiaozhuang?" Gao Pingshi rolled his eyes: "If there was a real love story, how could the end of Dorgon's death be so tragic?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Xin shook her head and sighed: "I don't expect them to have any love story. I just gossiped and enjoyed it. Now that the melon is gone, I feel a bit regretful.
That’s all.”
Gao Jingshi snorted twice in his nostrils, but did not answer. Liu Xinze quickly cheered up and asked: "You just said that the princess Ye He wants to give you is Huang Taiji's old lady? Then I am
Isn’t it understandable that if you accept this generous gift from Ye He, Huang Taiji will be gone in the future, and the stories we just told will also be gone?”
Gao pragmatically said: "According to Mr. Engels, history has inertia. If this Huang Tai Chi does not appear, there should be another Huang Tai Chi. However, I personally do not agree with this interpretation of Mr. Eng's words. I think he wants to express
It should mean that the general trend of history cannot be changed - of course, I can't agree with it now, because the general trend has been changed by me."
He paused and thought about it: "As for if I really accept Meng Guzhezhe, I think the Huang Taiji in history will indeed not appear, but it's not like Nurhaci can't find a woman, who knows what will happen to him then?"
Will the Eighth Meeting still be 'Huang Taiji'? You must know that Nurhachi had sixteen sons in history."
"You just said that Huang Taiji is very powerful?"
"Yes, very impressive." Gao Pragmatic said with certainty.
Liu Xin didn't believe it and asked: "How powerful is it?"
Gao Pragmatic pondered for a moment and replied: "Let's put it this way, Huang Taiji's ability far exceeds that of Nurhachi, especially in terms of strategic overall view. Although Huang Taiji did not survive until the day when the Qing army entered the pass, he was still a Tatar Qing outside the pass.
The founder who established a foothold, put the regime on the right track, and made all preparations for the Qing army to enter the customs."
Liu Xin said in surprise: "Is it so mysterious? Why didn't I know? Did you raise the height on purpose? What did he do?"
"That's because you are focusing on the scandals between men and women." Gao Pingshi rolled his eyes at her: "Huang Taiji's contribution to the Later Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty regime is probably as follows: First, for Nurhaci in Liaodong
The tyranny of the serfdom system in the region implemented certain reforms, which alleviated the fierce conflicts between the Manchus and the Han.
Secondly, the two Eastern Expeditions forced North Korea to sever diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty and become a vassal of the Later Jin Dynasty; they forced North Korea to import rice, cloth and other annual tribute to the Later Jin Dynasty every year, which enabled Hou Jin's fragile economy to receive external blood transfusions, thereby stabilizing the basic market.
Because the fortress system of Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan in western Liaoning was basically completed at that time, during the Huang Taiji period, the war against the fortress in western Liaoning of the Ming Dynasty could only take the form of long-term encirclement and reinforcements.
At this time, without the supplies squeezed out from North Korea, Hou Jin's own logistical supplies alone would not be able to survive. Especially during the Battle of Songjin, at the request of Hou Jin, North Korea provided a large amount of rice to the Hou Jin army.
Waiting for military food assistance, with the food provided by North Korea, the Hou Jin army on the front line can withstand it, otherwise they themselves will collapse.
Third, he completed the control of Mongolia in Monan. He launched many western expeditions, wooing those who followed and suppressing those who were disobedient. He destroyed Chahar, subdued Tumote, and all tribes in Monan surrendered to Huang Taiji. When the emperor arrived,
When Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, he established the Mongolian Yamen, which later developed into the Lifan Yuan of the Qing Dynasty.
The "Manchu-Mongolian Alliance", a basic national policy that almost ran through the entire Tatar Qing Dynasty, was also formed during the Huang Taiji era. The territory of the Later Jin Dynasty also expanded from Liaodong during the Nurhachi era to the Hetao area during the Huang Taiji period... You know this
Does it mean anything?"
Liu Xin curled her lips: "It means opening up territory and expanding territory, and it also means there is more room for strategic maneuver."
Gao pragmatic nodded: "You are right, but it is too rough. This means that economically, the Qing army can go to Xuanfu, Zhangjiakou and Datong to do trade with the local Ming army and Shanxi merchants. Militaryly
, the Qing army could pose a military threat to the northeast and northwest of the Ming capital from two aspects: Liaoxi-Jizhou, and Hetao-Xuanda, and its strategic initiative was more obvious.
In the winter of 1629, when Huang Taiji invaded the Ming Dynasty for the first time, the Qing army still entered the fortress in Zunhua, northeast of the capital. However, in the middle and late period of Chongzhen, when the Qing army invaded the Ming Dynasty several times, they had already invaded the Ming Dynasty from Yanqing, the capital.
The Shanxi Datong front line is invaded. With such a strategic situation, do you think it has great advantages?"
Liu Xin's understanding of military affairs was much better than her understanding of history. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "It means that this guy is very good at fighting, and he knows where to fight to achieve the best results."
"Not only that, I have two more." Gao Pragmatic stretched out four fingers, his face became more serious, and continued: "Fourth, he completed the reform of the Qing army's military system and military equipment. It was he who
, it strengthened its military group by establishing eight banners of Manchu, Mongolian, and Han, wooing the Han generals Geng, Shang, and Kong as the "Three Shun Kings", and absorbing the cavalry from various Mongolian tribes in Monan. The Qing army during the Huang Taiji period had developed into a
It is a field army group equipped with infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and capable of coordinated operations. As for combat effectiveness, that goes without saying."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "When I was young, I always heard that the Qing army relied on bows and horses to conquer the world. Later I found out that was not the case. I agree with this."
Gao pragmatic nodded and continued: "The fifth and last one is that he studied the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy and reformed it, which strengthened the Tatar Qing regime. Especially after Huang Taiji became emperor, he set up six ministries after the Ming Dynasty, and opened up subjects.
Scholars, I think you can understand the effect of this article: The reason why Annan Mo Chao was more popular among Annan scholars than Li Zheng was because Mo Chao opened schools more stably and frequently to recruit scholars.
During the Nurhaci era, the Hou Jin Dynasty still retained a large number of tribal blood relatives' legacy. Under the transformation of Huang Taiji, it was gradually built into the prototype of a feudal centralized regime. So, based on these, you can imagine Huang Taiji's influence on the Hou Jin regime.
How effective it is.”
"I understand." Liu Xin said calmly: "But since he is so powerful, now that the opportunity is in front of you, if you take his wife home, everything will be fine. Why are you still hesitating? After all, according to you
To put it bluntly, without Huang Taiji’s backing, it would probably not be possible.”
Gao Pragmatic sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's easy to take Meng Zhezhe away from Nurhachi, but it's not very convenient for me to get her in myself."
"What's the inconvenience? Are you afraid that Madam will be jealous?" Liu Xin shook her head and said: "I don't think she will mind. Because she is a child chieftain, she is more worried than ordinary women about being gossiped about. She has always hoped that you would hurry up.
Taking concubines, and even having more children, lest outsiders say she is jealous.
Besides, Meng Guzhezhe is still a Jurchen. As you just said, Gege is not a distinguished person in the Ming Dynasty. If you move Meng Guzhezhe into the house, it will not have any impact on the status of the distinguished lady. She will just
I won’t mind even more.”
"I'm not worried that Zhiting won't understand, I'm worried that the emperor has ideas." Gao Pragmatic scratched his head: "This matter is mainly related to my next strategy. According to my original plan, because Nurhaci's personal ability is obviously the current
He is the leader among the Jurchens, so I plan to vigorously win over and support Ye He and the Hada Division to compete with him.
Originally, it didn't matter what my choice was, but if I suddenly took Ye He's princess as my concubine, do you think the emperor would suspect that I did this because I fell into Ye He's beauty trap? By then, he would
Will you still sincerely agree with my views and plans as usual?"
