Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 366 Hauge's Deal

Huang Taiji died.

It disrupted Zhu Changyuan's series of plans.

For example, he had already managed almost all major events in Liaodong and Riyue Island, and the rest could be left to Kong He and Yan Hong.

He himself can take Chen Yuanyuan to the south of the Yangtze River in a chic way, just in time to fulfill the original agreement, and let Chen Yuanyuan see Mao Pijiang's "true face" as soon as possible.

But now, with Huang Taiji's sudden death, all plans had to be shelved temporarily.

Zhu Changyuan didn't do this to stay and hold a memorial service for Huang Taiji, but he was keenly aware that the internal situation of the Qing Dynasty should undergo an earth-shaking change.

In the history of later generations, after Huang Taiji died, it was the little boy of Shunzhi who came to the throne, Dorgon was regent, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang listened to the government behind the curtain.

But now Huang Taiji's death is a bit sudden, which is completely different from the history of later generations. If I remember correctly, Emperor Shunzhi should not be weaned yet, and no one knows whether he will still be on the throne.

Besides, when the old and the new are changing, it is the time when the regime is unstable. If there is chaos in the Qing Dynasty at this time, he just has an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Anyway, I can't go.

After Chen Yuanyuan heard the news in the room, she was inexplicably relieved.

The words were divided into two parts, and Huang Taiji let go of his hands comfortably, but left Shengjing City with a mess that was difficult to straighten out.

Well, it can't be called a mess, it should be called a mess.

Because Huang Taiji's death was too sudden, there was no time to leave any last call, and there was no specific instruction on who should succeed him.

Before he died, he yelled "Fulin" three times, but so what, the father missed his son, so he just yelled a few times, and he didn't say that he would pass the seat to him.

The point is, Fulin is only two years old now, as long as Huang Taiji is a sensible person, it is impossible to pass on the seat to him.

Logically speaking, the father dies and the son succeeds, but this is not Daming, but the savages from the distant Tunguska. Their banner owners can take away the wives of their subordinates at will and it is legal. Courtesy, justice and shame are of no use to them.

To be honest, as long as he is a member of the clan, whoever has the biggest fist is the emperor.

Excluding all the impossible, there were three people who were most qualified to inherit the throne at that time: Dorgon, Hauge and Daishan.

Needless to say, Dorgon is the younger brother of Huang Taiji and the No. 14 son of Nurhachi. He is not only versatile in civil and military affairs, but also has a great talent. He is even more talented than Huang Taiji, and he is supported by many disciples of the clan.

Hauge, 30 years old this year, although he is not the prince, but he has a great advantage, that is the eldest son, and he is also the eldest son of Huang Taiji.The throne is natural, needless to say.

As for Daishan, Daishan is the second son, but not Huang Taiji's second son, but Nurhachi's second son, Dorgon's elder brother, who has made great achievements in the battlefield as early as Nurhachi's era, and everyone in the clan respects him , even Dorgon had to call "Second Brother" when he saw him. Huang Taiji discussed many things with him privately during his lifetime, and his status can be imagined.

The first is identity comparison.

Well, the strength comparison is as follows:
Dorgon has two banners in his hands, Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner. One of the flag owners is his younger brother Duduo and the other is his brother Azig. The soldiers of these two banners can do anything for him.

Daishan has two red flags in his hands, the Zhenghong Flag and the Xianghong Flag. He is on par with Dorgon in terms of military strength, but there is one thing. Now that he is getting older, part of the troops in his hands are in charge of others, even Dorgon. He also intervened in the military affairs of Zhenghongqi, so in terms of strength alone, he may be weaker.

The last one, Hauge, is undoubtedly the strongest, because he was born in the royal family, and he has the military strength of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner in his hands. Back then, Huang Taiji also took the military power of the Xianglan Banner and brought it back to the emperor. , Now the forces of the three banners are all under the orders of Hauge.

Therefore, Hauge's power is the strongest.

Moreover, because the two yellow banners belong to the emperor, they have an absolute dominant position among the eight banners. If they want to maintain their dominant position, they must agree that the prince of Huang Taiji will inherit the throne.

In the second strength PK, Hauge won.

Third, compare your personality.

Needless to say, Dorgon has a persevering, calm and magnanimous personality, and he does have the style of an emperor, even better than Huang Taiji. If he were the emperor, few people would look for trouble from his character.

The second generation of goodness, uh, let’s not talk about Daishan.Because when the competition for the throne intensified, in order to avoid internal strife in the Eight Banners, the old prince resolutely decided to quit.

I won't let you play anymore, you two can play.

Third, Hauge, to be honest, Hauge is good at everything, but his personality is not good.It's not right to say that, Hauge's character is not bad, but he is really not suitable to be an emperor.

What kind of character is he?
He is indecisive, dull, and not sociable, let alone fooling his subordinates. Moreover, this guy Hauge is extremely lacking in self-confidence.He even commented on himself saying: Virtue is small and fortune is poor.

The truth is, he came from a bad background.

The five highest-ranking concubines in Huangtaiji's harem were all from Mongolia, but Hauge's mother was not one of them, so when he was fighting for the position, he felt his heart beat.

There is an amazing coach in the football world in modern society, who seems to be called Milu Shenma. He said a very classic and classic saying, which is still sung by Chinese people: Attitude is everything.

Many people know that he said "attitude determines everything", and many companies use him as a motto to train their employees. However, who knows that there is another half of Mr. Milu's sentence: character determines destiny . (I have no specific investigation on whether Milu plagiarized others. Don’t spray!)

Yes, Hauge in history seems to be the best interpreter of this sentence.

Huang Taiji had been dead for ten days, and he was placed in a side hall where no one cared about him, and all the princes, princes and ministers were all involved in the contest between Hauge and Dorgon, without exception. .

The biggest political turmoil or even military conflict since the founding of the Qing Dynasty may happen at any time.

One night, representatives of the two yellow flags, such as Suo Ni, Ye Bilong, Aobai and other famous figures in history (but at this time their reputation was overshadowed by several Qin kings) visited Hauge.

Haug received them happily.

Sony said bluntly, "When the first emperor passed away, the country cannot be without a king for a day. We and the generals of the two yellow banners are willing to obey your arrangement, Prince Su, and are willing to support you on the throne of God."

Hauge has known this for a long time, because these people have expressed their loyalty to him more than once and said similar things.

"This king knows that all of you are important ministers in the late emperor's time. Following the late emperor's expeditions to the north and south, you have made great military exploits. Naturally, you will also be the pillars of the Qing Dynasty in the future."

Hauge is not a fool, on the contrary, he is just a weak character, and he still knows a little about political consciousness and methods.

To put it bluntly, these people came to me today to express their sincerity, and it is nothing more than that if I can keep their status after I ascend the throne, I will let them have infinite glory for generations.

Even between monarchs and ministers, most of the time they are trading and exchanging interests.

Hauge made a promise, so they are naturally high-tech.

Aobai cupped his hands and said: "Prince Rui Dorgon and others are moving around. Although we have three banners in our hands, he also has the support of two white banners. Now, I heard that Azige is lobbying Ji Erha Lang, seek his support, if Jierhalang really falls to his side, Dorgon will also have the soldiers of the Three Banners in his hands."

The last key figure, the representative of the powerful faction of the military, is Jierharang, who is the cousin of Huang Taiji, who fought with Nurhachi in the north and south in the early years, and his family has the strength of two blue flags.

But after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he forcibly took back their family's Zhenglan Banner from the emperor's hands, so now, the Jierhalang family still has a force with a Xianglan Banner.

Amin, who was killed by Zhu Changyuan in Liaoyang before, was Jierhalang's brother.

When Hauge heard this, he panicked.

Just now I thought I had the upper hand, but now if Jierhalang falls to Dorgon, his and Dorgon's forces will really become 3V3.

He is not sure how to persuade his second uncle Daishan who has two red flags to support him. After all, to him, Daishan is his uncle, but to Dorgon, Daishan is his second brother.

"What should I do? What can you brothers do?"

Hauge asked.

"Yes!" Sonny stood up and replied: "It's just that the prince wants to give up one thing. With this thing, no matter what Dorgon said, Jierhalang will definitely support us."

"what!"

Hauge breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the throne, let alone one thing, ten things can be given up.

But when Sony really said it, Hauge still felt pain.

+++++++
Jierhalang sent Azig outside the mansion with a smile, cupped his hands and said to Azige, "Prince Rui, don't worry, I, Jierhalang, are only loyal to the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty. As for who will be the emperor, I can't ask. But there is one thing, this prince promises that he will never stand on the opposite side of Prince Rui."

"All right!"

Azige was a little disappointed, and Jierharang talked for a long time, but the old fox just didn't say anything, neither saying he supported Dorgon nor Hauge.

As for what he said before he left, it was purely polite, such things as being loyal to the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty and not antagonizing Prince Rui were all nonsense.

"If Jierhalang doesn't support it, then I have to try my second brother."

Azig's eyes flashed, he glanced at Chao Daishan's residence, and sighed.

When Jierhalang returned to the mansion, his younger brother Fei Yangwu came out from behind, looked at him and asked, "Brother Wang, why didn't you agree to Dorgon?"

"Hehe!" Jierhalang smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Fei Yangwu and asked, "Why should I promise Dorgon?"

"Dorgon is a great talent, both civil and military, and..."

"Stop talking." Fei Yangwu was interrupted by Ji Erhalang before he finished speaking, and said, "Get ready, you will be the flag owner of the Zhenglan Banner soon."
