426. Seize some of their power, control their money and food, and recruit their elite soldiers.
Although Huang Taiji often read Chinese books, Liaodong is a cultural desert and history books are scarce. In fact, the only one they have read thoroughly is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Because Nurhaci liked to read novels, following his example, every bannerman in the Qing Dynasty had a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
The generals sent out troops and read at night, using this plan and that plan mechanically.
It is also a must-have textbook for becoming an official.
"Great Khan, any reform must be supported by the majority of people in order to be successful. At least the majority of people must not oppose or resist. Therefore, successful reforms have always been additions, not subtractions," Fan Wencheng said.
.
"What is addition and what is subtraction?" Huang Taiji asked.
"For example, the four major Baylors are in power together. This difficult problem can be solved by subtracting the three major Baylors. Only then can His Majesty control the real power. However, this is too risky. The three major Baylors are all banner owners and have soldiers in their hands. No matter who is deprived of it,
The power of one person will cause resistance and even rebellion. Therefore, we cannot directly strip them away. On the contrary, we must increase his power. As the saying goes, what is taken in advance must be given first." Fan Wencheng said.
"If you don't divest them, how can Ben Khan take back his power? Isn't this a paradox?"
"So, we need to do addition, and the Tweet Order is a model for doing addition." Fan Wencheng said and explained the ins and outs of the Tweet Order to Huang Taiji in detail.
The more Huang Taiji listened, the brighter his eyes became.
The Tweeting Order was an important decree issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to consolidate the centralization of power.
The essence of the Tuien Order is an improvement on the county system.
This decree required that the areas under the jurisdiction of previous princes should only be inherited by their eldest son, instead of being inherited by their eldest son, second son, and third son.
According to the Han system, the vassal states formed under the Tuien Order were subordinate to counties and had the same status as counties. Later, according to this decree, the vassal states were divided into smaller and smaller states, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the opportunity to weaken their power.
"Ben Khan understands. What you mean is to increase the number of Baylors who discuss politics to dilute the power and influence of the three Baylors. And this Khan has a higher status than the three Baylors. After dilution, Baylor becomes weaker.
The Khan will be strengthened by one point, and as long as the number of people discussing politics continues to expand, the status of this Khan will continue to increase until this Khan is authoritative and respected enough." Huang Taiji quickly understood what Fan Wencheng meant.
Fan Wencheng praised, "The Great Khan is really wise. He can see the whole body by looking at one spot. This is exactly what I meant."
"This Khan can take this opportunity to increase all his people. In the future, among the ministers who discuss politics, this Khan's people will become the majority, and we will no longer have to worry about the constraints of the three Baylors. Hahahahaha" Huang Taiji became happy. Once his thoughts opened up, no need
Fan Wencheng elaborated that he had already thought of several strategies.
"No, no, no, the Great Khan must not take advantage of this to insert his own people." Fan Wencheng said anxiously.
"Why, why not take advantage of such a good opportunity?"
"The power of the push order is to make it impossible for the opponent to resist. If the Great Khan increases his manpower, they will feel threatened and will resist desperately, and they will fail. Because this is subtraction. The Great Khan should increase their
They have no reason to object. If they object, they will have conflicts with their close confidants and nephews. Anyone who blocks the path to power will definitely be resented. There will be cracks in their group."
Huang Taiji thought about it carefully and it was indeed true. Urgent things will change, slow things will be smooth. He only thought of this as an opportunity and ignored the feasibility. No matter how good the opportunity is, if it cannot be completed, it will have no value.
Fan Wencheng continued: "There are aggregation of interests and power struggles among them, and father and son are not concerned about the close relatives, let alone the superiors and subordinates. Once these new ministers gain a foothold, they will be surrounded by countless people who want to join forces.
If a new force is formed, the affairs of the court will gradually escape the control of the three ministers. If the three ministers oppose it, they will be divided. So whether they agree or not, it will be beneficial to the Great Khan. It will make it easier for the Great Khan to win the hearts of the Great Khan. The status of the Great Khan
Being detached can naturally balance the situation of the government and take the power back into your hands."
The emperor was very happy. Fan Wencheng had explained all the powerful relationships.
Since ancient times, everyone has wanted to establish their own business, and would rather be a chicken head than an ox tail. This is really a thorough consideration of people's hearts.
These new ministers have obtained the same parliamentary power as the three Baylors, and their power will immediately increase sharply. Even if they were with the three Baylors before, they will inevitably not have the idea of reliance at this time. It was not enough to take refuge with them in the first place.
In order to climb up, is it true that you have to be loyal?
Huang Taiji thought for a while and said with some worry: "Amin is not the son of Father Khan. He has always been more cautious and thinks twice about everything. He usually observes the direction of the wind and only moves when others are moving. He refuses to stand out.
Mang Gurtai is a rough man, he must not understand, and Ben Khan is not worried about him. What Ben Khan is most worried about is Da Beile. He has experienced the world for a long time and has become a mature man. I am afraid that this matter cannot be hidden from him."
Fan Wencheng was silent, others are easy to talk about, but Daishan is not easy to deal with. The Khan position almost did not fall into his hands before. If Huang Taiji competes for the Khan position based on ability, and the Dorgon brothers rely on the favor of Tianming Khan, then Daishan relies on his
Strength. He is in charge of the two red flags and has the most number of bulls.
Daishan's ability was not inferior to that of Huang Taiji. After he got rid of Chu Ying, he became the prince. Later, due to his own reasons, he lost his position as prince.
He simply lost his position as the crown prince himself.
What he committed is actually a common problem among many men.
A man's love for his child is often related to the woman who gave birth to the child.
If he loves this woman, he will love the children born to this woman very much. There are too many stories in history where the elders were abandoned and the younger ones were raised, causing great disasters.
Once a man is widowed or divorced, he will re-engage with his beloved wife, and then he will pour his affection into her and dote on her children, thereby neglecting the children of his ex-wife who lost their mother.
What's more, there are many cases where, in order to please the new couple, they abuse the children of their ex-wife. Or they acquiesce to the second wife's abuse of the children of the ex-wife.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In modern times, many people are indifferent to the children of their ex-wives after remarriage, and too many of them are indifferent.
Some people are not entirely in financial difficulty, and there are many big businessmen and celebrities among them. They are not short of money, have a good life, and have many resources, but they just ignore their children and their ex-wife's and let them struggle in a difficult life.
.
There is a saying in the old society that it is better to follow a mother who is a beggar than to follow a father who is an official. This is the truth. It is because you are worried about the abuse of your stepmother.
Some men are thinking animals with their lower body, and they are far less caring about their children than mothers who have paid too much for their children.
After his wife died, Daishan remarried a beautiful girl, and transferred all his love to the bride's son. He regarded his ex-wife's two sons, Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo, as a thorn in his side, and abused them in every possible way.
In March and April of 1620 (the fifth year of Tianming), the Later Jin Dynasty was preparing to move the capital from Jiefan City to Sarhu City. Nurhachi inspected and designated the homes where each Baylor could build a mansion.
Daishan saw that the homestead of his eldest son Yuetuo was better than his own, so he asked Mang Gurtai and Amin to petition for his help, saying that the land he lived in was small and he wanted to occupy Yuetuo's homestead.
On the third day of September in 1620 (the fifth year of Tianming), Daishan's second son Aixinjueluo Shuotuo (Yuetuo's half-brother) suddenly disappeared because he could not bear Daishan's abuse. Some people said that he "defected" and committed suicide.
Go towards.
Before it was determined whether Shuotuo had defected, Daishan insisted that Shuotuo had the intention to defect.
After finding Shuotuo and making it clear that he had not defected, Daishan still knelt down to Nurhaci five or six times and begged to kill Shuotuo.
Daishan's request was rejected, and Nurhachi released Shuotuo.
When Nurhaci was young, his father married his second wife and treated him very badly. He only gave him a small amount of land and a haha after the family was divided. He suffered this kind of suffering, so this was something deep in his heart when he was young.
scar.
This incident touched Nurhaci's sensitive and fragile nerves. Nurhachi began to investigate the treatment of Daishan's sons from his two ex-wives. He found that the assets of Daishan's sons Yuetuo and Shuotuo were worse than those of his other half-brothers.
.
Nurhaci was shocked by what Daishan did.
Nurhachi has many descendants, and a person who even abused his own son is even worse than Chu Ying. How can I safely hand over power to him a hundred years later? Will he attack his brothers and nephews?
Nurhachi angrily scolded Daishan, "You are also the son of your ex-wife, why don't you think that I am closer to you? How could you be deceived by your second wife into abusing your grown-up son?"
What's more, I have always chosen good people for you to take charge of. Why can't you give good people to Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo like me?
Daishan was speechless, he could not distinguish this accusation.
The seriousness of this accusation lies in the fact that Daishan is not like his father Nurhachi. If his father is Yingming Khan, then what is he? This also shows that he is not suitable to be the successor.
Nurhaci ordered Yue Tuo, Shuo Tuo and Dai Shan to separate their families, and publicly announced that Dai Shan would be abolished as crown prince.
After Daishan was deposed, he trembled with fear. The fate of Chu Ying that year was vivid in his mind. He was worried that his father Khan would kill him. Anyway, it was not like he had never killed his own son before. Killing another one would not be a big deal.
He now looks like the second Chu Ying. His power and military strength have surpassed that of Chu Ying back then. His bullying of his brothers and ministers is no weaker than Chu Ying's. People are easy to get carried away.
The brothers and ministers immediately seized the opportunity to attack Daishan. They just wanted to create a conflict with Daishan. The more irreconcilable the better. The more serious the better.
In this way, they hope that just like Daishan did with Chu Ying, Nurhaci simply executed Chu Ying in order to prevent Chu Ying from retaliating against his brothers and ministers and causing the Jin Kingdom to split.
The question now is not whether he can succeed, but how to save his head.
After repeated thinking, he made a painful decision in order to pass the test.
On the 28th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar in 1620 (the fifth year of Tianming), Daishan ignored his beloved wife's pleading and killed his step-wife with his own hands to apologize to his father.
But how could Nurhachi be so easily impressed?
Nurhachi asked him to swear an oath with his brothers that if he ever harbors hatred towards the Baylors and ministers again in the future, he will be willing to be punished by heaven and earth.
Daishan had no choice but to make an oath with his brothers. His face and authority were all completely lost. He completely lost the possibility of competing for a big position.
After Nurhaci killed his eldest son, I don’t know how much pain he suffered in his heart.
Just like when Genghis Khan was a boy, he killed his useless younger brother who stole his mother's food. He was burdened with regret and guilt throughout his life.
The old Khan King was old and he might not want to do such a thing anymore. He finally tolerated Dai Shan.
Although Daishan was deposed as the crown prince, he still had to be the head of the four Baylors and participate in the governance of the country.
Thinking of Daishan, who has experienced countless struggles in his life, both of them are a bit tricky. It is easy to deceive others, but it is difficult to deceive Daishan.
He has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, and he has crossed more bridges than you have walked.
Fan Wencheng said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you make a start and open an opening, the rest will be easy. How to avoid making the three Baylors suspicious and get this done. We must also start from their weaknesses. This
The three people actually have their own weaknesses."
Huang Taiji said nothing and listened quietly to Fan Wencheng's words.
"The problem with Daishan is old age. When people get old, they lose energy. Today's court affairs do not have a hierarchical handling system like the Ming Dynasty. All big and small matters are mixed together, making it very complicated. For Daishan, it is better to start by taking care of his body.
Promote his cronies and nephews to help him handle daily affairs. In this way, not only will he not be wary, but he will also appreciate the Khan's concern for his eldest brother."
Huang Taiji nodded and agreed with this statement. There is no problem with this matter, and there is no problem with it wherever it is taken.
"Amin is the only one of the four Belarus who is not the son of the old Khan. What he is most worried about is that the other three brothers will join forces to seize his rights and power. He usually does not stand out and is unwilling to take responsibility, so as not to be harmed.
The more you do, the more mistakes you make. If you don't do it, there will be no mistakes. If you let the people below him share the burden, you can shirk the responsibility if there is a problem, and he will get better, so if you start from this angle, he should not object."
Huang Taiji's complexion obviously improved. This method was very feasible. After solving Amin, he would solve the two Belles. As for Mang Gurtai, a common man, he didn't take it seriously.
"Mang Gurtai is a rough man. He is impatient to deal with these complicated affairs. On the pretext of helping him handle it, we can reduce his fatigue and add a few more people to handle it for him. He should agree."
The emperor was very happy, and Fan Wencheng calmly opened a gap in the power of the three Baylors, allowing himself to take advantage of it. He was in a great mood and said happily, "The bachelor is really the ovary of this Khan, hahaha, this Khan
When we take back our power, we will be able to live up to the merits of the bachelor’s advice.”
