Hauge's faction was shaking things up again in Shenyang, but they did not dare to launch a coup because they had no soldiers. Once a coup was launched, it would give Dorgon an excuse. At that time, he would send troops to kill, and no one could stop him.
Secondly, there are external conflicts. The Ming army is approaching Jinzhou step by step. If you launch a coup at this time, that is what Wan Fu is referring to!
But even though Dorgon had troops, he did not dare to use them to force his position. The reason is also very simple. The soldiers were used to resist the Ming army, not to force him to the position. The main forces of the Qing court at this time were in Jinzhou. These soldiers and horses belong to various banner owners and factions. They will be consistent when speaking to the outside world, but if you dare to point the finger at the inside, they will fall apart immediately!
But although Dorgon had troops in his hands, the court began to tilt. Now that there is a war, the banner leaders cannot withdraw their troops at will. Even if internal conflicts intensify, they must bite the bullet and deal with the outside world unanimously. But if the external conflicts disappear, What about when it's over?
There is no place for you to stand in the court, and the soldiers in your hands have returned to their respective flags. It will only take a matter of minutes to overthrow you.
Therefore, at this time, Dorgon did not dare to let the external conflicts disappear. Instead, they had to intensify. The more intensified the external conflicts were, the more stable the military power in his hands would be. Shenyang did not dare to act arbitrarily and had to put away its thoughts and deal with the outside world in a unified manner.
What's more, Dorgon heard a very bad news a while ago, Jierhalang was named uncle prince!
Ouch, go ahead, this made Dorgon so angry that he almost bled from all his orifices!
Some people may wonder, Jierhalang, Dorgon and others are Fulin's uncles, and they are all princes, so why bother to create uncles and princes? What's the point?
It means so much!
At least under the system of the Manchu and Qing dynasties, the significance is very great. The emperor is a big family, with more than a dozen sons, a dozen uncles, and nearly a hundred cousins, but not everyone may be a prince. You are still the king of the county, even Beizi, Baylor, so there is a gap in status, but no matter who you are, you are all my emperor's ministers.
But the uncle prince is different from ordinary princes. Regardless of whether he is an uncle or a brother, a prince has the same status, but with the addition of uncle, he has an honorific title! His status and identity have all risen a lot!
Generally, when a prince meets his uncle, he will give a big salute.
When the emperor's uncle or prince arrives, most princes will kneel down and kowtow to greet him!
So everyone wants to make their uncle a prince, but it is very difficult to make this uncle a prince! Azig, who had great military exploits in history, also wanted to be named an uncle and prince but failed.
First of all, you have to be the regent. As the name suggests, you help the emperor manage the government. This thing is more difficult, because another meaning of being a regent is that the emperor is your puppet. Historically, Azig also wanted to get involved in this position, but he was eliminated. Jue was imprisoned and sentenced to death.
Nowadays, there are only two regents in the Qing court, Dorgon and Jierhalang! One is a biological uncle and the other is a cousin!
】
One is in charge of the army, the other is in charge of politics, one is sharp-edged, and the other is calm and restrained.
After the fiasco of entering the customs, Dorgon was afraid of being liquidated when he went back, so he hid in Jinzhou, while Hauge went back to Shenyang to operate. Jierhalang was neutral on the surface, but in fact he was biased towards Hauge, but he did so for the sake of overall stability. He had to establish Fulin, but he didn't want Hauge to launch a coup at this juncture and let Mingting take advantage of it, so he tried his best to maintain the status quo, but unknowingly he became Fulin's patron saint, unknowingly going too far. To maintain the status quo.
At this time, the Qing court's household affairs were in a mess, and the family's business was in great chaos. Think about Nurhachi's many sons, each of whom had their own thoughts and ideas. Gun Group, Haoge Group, Jierhalang Group, Daishan Group...
But everyone ignored another group, Fulin Group.
Perhaps it was because the emperor was young and they all thought he was a puppet. He could only be a victim between Hauge and Dorgon. However, they ignored another person.
A woman, a very inconspicuous woman.
Fulin's mother, Bu Mu Butai, later became Xiaozhuang!
Since we were looking for a puppet, we naturally chose someone soft. At least Dorgon felt that Fulin was the soft one, and Fulin's mother, Concubine Zhuang, was also soft.
Maybe this woman is soft and easy to handle, but who says soft things can't work?
Everyone knows the subsequent history, right? Empress Xiaozhuang, who assisted Zuo's son and Zuo's grandson, had a powerful combination of soft and hard tactics, and history has proven it.
At this time, Bumbutai and Fulin were orphans and widowed mothers. They had no power, no power, and no soldiers. No one cared about them, and no one was on guard. But they didn’t know that as the saying goes, orphans and widowed mothers are the true ones. Work hard and look for every opportunity you can.
Dorgon and Hauge are having a dog-eat-dog fight, and this is their chance.
So under a subtle operation, Jierhalang was made uncle and prince.
Although some people can see that this is holding on to one's thighs to protect themselves, they can only see through it. Jierhalang also knows the thoughts of their mother and son. By coincidence, he also wants to maintain the status quo at this time, and he cannot resist the uncle and prince. The temptation!
Historically, there were only two uncles and princes in the Qing court, one was Dorgon and the other was Jierhalang.
Dorgon was made uncle and prince after entering the customs. At that time, Jierhalang could no longer restrain him, and his strength and power were no match for him. Later, Dorgon was made uncle and prince, and emperor and father! His appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he is getting more and more fatal, because he forced Fulin to do this, so Fulin will whip his corpse after death!
But Jierhalang was different. He was granted the title voluntarily by Fulin, but it was indeed in the ninth year of Shunzhi, that is, 1652, which was two years after Dorgon's death!
The trajectory of history has changed. Prince Jilhalang's uncle has advanced seven years. Of course he didn't know it was advanced, but he is very happy! Very happy! He and Huang Taiji grew up together. Although they are cousins, they are closer than real brothers. They are also very loyal to Huang Taiji, so although he is optimistic about Hauge, after all, Fulin is also Huang Taiji's son, so what's the difference?扥, not to mention that it is best not to cause chaos and maintain the status quo at this time!
Jierhalang is happy, but Dorgon is not happy, and is very jealous!
Whether he is jealous or angry, Dorgon knows that a little impatience can mess up a big plan. Jierhalang became the uncle and prince, his position became more and more stable, and the power of the government was within his control. The only thing he could resist was his hands. He has the troops and horses inside, but the troops and horses cannot be used for internal fighting. If he wants to stand up, he can only fight externally and return with a great victory!
Such as defending Jinzhou, such as conquering Ningyuan, such as entering the pass again to plunder...
After some thought, Dorgon made a decision to seek wealth and wealth in danger, and he did it!
