Dorgon is indeed a capable person, and it is obvious to all that he is so busy in solving each matter.
However, after all, there were some things that gave him a headache and were difficult to solve.
Dorgon, who had been secretly observing Huang Taiji, finally decided to follow Huang Taiji's approach and summon those Han officials. Sometimes, he had to admit that the minds of the Han people were smarter than those of the Manchu people.
Therefore, on this day, Dorgon issued an order to summon the Han officials in Shengjing, including Bao Chengxian, Ning Wanwo, Fan Wencheng, Luo Xiujin, Liang Zhengda, Qi Guoru, Yang Fangxing and others.
Most of these people were scholars of the Ming Dynasty. They had taken refuge with Jianlu in their early years and contributed to Jianlu. They also contributed a lot to Huang Taiji's ascension to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. The most famous among them are Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo.
Since the corpses of Geng Zhongming and Geng Jimao were exchanged for gifts to the prince, the enthusiasm of these Han officials was greatly reduced, and most of them hid in their mansions. Dorgon knew this very well and knew that they were afraid of serving the Qing Dynasty too much. After they became famous, if they were named by the Ming Dynasty and there was an exchange, they would be abandoned by the Qing Dynasty and exchanged back to the Ming Dynasty. , then there is only a dead end.
Therefore, facing these Han officials standing below with their heads bowed and hands folded, Dorgon was angry, but he still pretended to be kind and said: "During this period, I have been busy with political affairs, and I have not seen you for many times. I saw you last time. If there is too much to say, I won’t say more. I wonder if you have any good suggestions for the current situation of the Qing Dynasty? "
After he finished speaking, everyone below still lowered their heads and remained silent, since he didn't mention anyone by name anyway!
Seeing this reaction, Dorgon couldn't help but frown, and his voice became colder and he said: "Why, you don't have any ideas? Or are you afraid that the Qing Dynasty will exchange you back to the Ming Dynasty?"
The regent became angry, and Fan Wencheng and others immediately knelt down, but they still did not reply and continued to pretend to be dead.
"Haha!" Dorgon had a better temper than other Jianlu princes, but there was a limit. Seeing this situation, he sneered and said: "If the Qing Dynasty really wants to exchange you back, just based on your previous Serving the Qing Dynasty is enough!"
Hearing this, some people below were a little uneasy. Dorgon could tell from some of their details, so he softened his tone and continued, "Don't worry, I will put my words here today. As long as If you serve the Qing Dynasty loyally, the Qing Dynasty will never abandon you. What happened before was just a special case!"
At this point, he increased his tone and emphasized: "Your glory and wealth are all with the Qing Dynasty. Only when the Qing Dynasty is good can you be good, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Fan Wencheng and others responded in unison when they heard this. But after answering, they fell silent again.
They knew very well in their hearts that although Dorgon made a guarantee and said that the previous incident was just an exception, if next time another prince of the Qing Dynasty was captured by the Ming Dynasty, there would not even be a prince, just a Beilebeizi or Gu. Shan Ezhen and the like, maybe Dorgon and others would take them to the Ming Dynasty to replace them.
Dorgon couldn't help but get really angry when he saw how stupid they were. They refused to listen to their good words, and that was to say that they would be fined if they didn't eat the toast. Do they really want to let them know how powerful they are and how they would have to suffer a little before they would serve the Qing Dynasty?
He was thinking this, and just when he was about to get angry, there were steady footsteps outside the palace, and then a chamberlain appeared at the door of the palace and played loudly: "The King of Obedience has sent someone to deliver the memorial."
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng and others couldn't help but glance towards the door of the palace.
In terms of the highest official position and great reputation among Han officials, it should be Kong Youde! Geng Zhongming, who was close to him, betrayed the Qing Dynasty. His life must be difficult now, right? At this time, he should be the most worried about being exchanged by the Qing Dynasty!
Thinking like this, some people can't help but wonder whether this memorial was sent by Kong Youde to resign this king with a different surname? Otherwise, he would really be the number one Han official serving the Qing Dynasty!
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look forward to it. Kong Youde had submitted a memorial just after the New Year. What was he going to do?
Dorgon was also a little strange, so he asked his chamberlain to present it and read it first before arguing with the Han officials below.
In his impression, he was also dissatisfied with Kong Youde.
The relationship with Geng Zhongming is so good. If Geng Zhongming has problems, will Kong Youde also have problems?
Based on this consideration, Dorgon sent Manchus to Tieling to monitor Kong Youde.
However, Dorgon was overjoyed after reading the memorial. He did not expect that Kong Youde came to express his loyalty and support to him, and also took the initiative to mention the current predicament of the Qing Dynasty. He said that the food problem in the Qing Dynasty was serious, and he could not even eat white flour steamed buns even if he was respectful to the palace, so he would increase efforts to diversify food, and the problem would naturally be solved.
For this reason, Kong Youde took the initiative to mobilize Han slaves who were good at farming and put them under his command to open up wasteland and farm fields in the Liaohe Plain, that is, the Tieling line. This would effectively solve the food problem of the Qing Dynasty. Although Kong Youde was a miner before, he was also proficient in farming. Therefore, he just promised that as long as he was given enough Han slaves, he dared to issue a military order and return Dorgon with enough food.
This is really a pillow for drowsiness!
The most worrying thing for Dorgon was the food problem of the Qing Dynasty. Now he wanted to ask these Han officials for advice, but it turned out that these Han officials were not responsible and did not dare to give advice. Unexpectedly, Kong Youde stepped forward at this time, which made Dorgon really happy!
Although the solution in Kong Youde's memorial was actually considered by Dorgon. Everyone agrees that when it comes to farming, it must be the Han people. Dorgon is also thinking about using Han people to diversify food to solve the current crisis in the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, Kong Youde took the initiative to take over the matter, causing Dorgon to shout repeatedly after reading the memorial: "Okay, okay!"
After shouting, he raised his head, looked at the group of Han officials in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "I'd better obey Wang Zhongxin. Look, he took the initiative to make suggestions and suggestions to solve the food problem for the Qing Dynasty. You also eat the Qing Dynasty's food." Lu, why can't you help the Qing Dynasty solve its problems? The late emperor really saw it right, so that's why he was granted the title of king with a different surname, but you are not!"
In fact, he knew that the reason why Huang Taiji named Kong Youde the king with a different surname was because Kong Youde brought troops, artillery and warships to the Qing Dynasty, which were urgently needed by the Qing Dynasty. But at this time, he said this deliberately just to stimulate these Han officials.
Sure enough, after he said this, Fan Wencheng went out and said: "I am ashamed that I have little talent and little knowledge. I just thought of a way to solve some of the food and grass problems for the Qing Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, Dorgon felt happy and asked calmly: "What method?"
In his mind, no matter how much these people opened their mouths, they would still have a worse impression than Kong Youde.
"At the time, King Gongshun, King Huaishun and King Zhishun were all from the Dongjiang Army. They must also be proficient in fishing. Although they cannot go fishing on the sea, there is no problem in fishing in the rivers in the hinterland of Liaodong. It's better. Mobilize these soldiers from all over the country and let them only be responsible for fishing, so that you can eat more!"
The Jianlu people were originally a fishing and hunting people. They mainly made a living by hunting, and they could also fish. However, after so many years of being used to grabbing things, who would think about fishing.
Of course, life is difficult now. The old people in Jianlu still have fishing skills and want to fish, but the young people don't. Moreover, most of them dance with guns and sticks, and no one cares about fishing.
The method proposed by Fan Wencheng was indeed feasible. After hearing this, Dorgon nodded in agreement and said: "This method is good. You can catch fish and dry it in the sun for a longer period of time. You can also pickle fish. good!"
When I heard that Fan Wencheng had been praised by Dorgon, Ning Wan and I were also moved, so I also went out and said: "Your Highness, I heard that in the past, many Haixi Jurchens did business with Ezo, or they could Use satin cloth or something, and go exchange it with Ezo for some food!"
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, after the establishment of Nuergandusi, the policy of rewarding more than tribute was mostly adopted, which made the tribute teams from Nuergandusi become more frequent and expanded.
The Jurchen tribute mission came to the capital and not only received generous rewards of gold, silver, silk, grain and other supplies, but also got the opportunity to trade in the capital. As a result, large quantities of silk, silk, ramie silk clothing, gold-woven clothing and other items continued to enter the Heilongjiang Basin. The Jurchens there then traded with the Yi people in Hokkaido. The silk of the Ming Dynasty had another name. : Ezo Nishiki. This kind of trade would have continued until the middle of the Qing Dynasty in its original history.
When Dorgon heard this, he couldn't help but nodded again. If Lingluo satin could be exchanged for food, he would exchange it.
In the past few times when I entered the customs, I snatched a lot of silk and satin from the Ming Dynasty. There is still some in the palace warehouse. In addition, I asked all the flags to hand over some, so I could always make up some.
When Fan Wencheng heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he reported to Dorgon again: "Your Highness, I remembered that there is no Ming Dynasty navy on the northern coast. This will also make the original Dongjiang Army Those soldiers, Han slaves, etc. all went to the sea over there to fish. It is said that there are fish bigger than houses in the sea. If you can catch one, it will be enough to feed many people!"
Dorgon listened and nodded again. He was finally a little satisfied.
The brains of these Han officials were much more flexible than those of other people in the Qing Dynasty. As long as they were willing to serve the Qing Dynasty, they could always find a way. No wonder Huang Taiji paid attention to them in the past.
At this time, he suddenly figured something out. That's why Huang Taiji used them and regarded them as his confidants, but he didn't give them high-ranking officials. It must be because of these literati that they will do their best, right? It was Kong Youde's example that stimulated them all at once.
Just as he was thinking about it, another Han official, Bao Chengxian, who had been thinking about things a little anxiously, finally thought of something, and hurriedly stood up and reported to Dorgon: "Your Highness, I thought that those Yiyi people were far behind. , vulnerable, it is better for the Qing Dynasty to send troops directly. In that way, we can snatch all their food and supplies back without giving away silk and satin, and we can also order them to continue to provide food and grass supplies to the Qing Dynasty, and it is so far away This place cannot be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, so it can be a stable source of food and grass for the Qing Dynasty!"
This Bao Chengxian was born as a general in Shanxi and had a hereditary military position. During the Wanli period of the Ming and Ming dynasties, Bao Cheng became a senior official and became a general.
In the first year of Taichang, Bao Chengxian followed the commander-in-chief He Shixian and Li Bingcheng to guard Shenyang. Soon, he was appointed as the commander of Kaiyuan East Road and the deputy general of "Xinyongying", and continued to guard Shenyang City. Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, wrote a letter to reward the generals, and Bao Chengxian was given the title of Commander-in-Chief.
To him, Daming was not too kind to him. However, it turned out that after Nurhachi led the troops to fight, he used various traps and ran away before fighting. Selling friendly troops was his best skill. After he had no teammates to trap, he surrendered to Jianlu. Nurhachi was a ruthless man who killed countless Han people, but he was still awarded the title of deputy general because of his contribution to the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
Later, the traitor used his previous connections to persuade Jianlu to surrender Zhu Jiantai, the magistrate of Qian'an County, guerrilla Bu Wenhuan and others. When attacking Dalinghe, Zhaijiabao was surrendered. Even after Kong Youde surrendered to Jianlu, he strongly advocated that Jianlu should build a navy to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, after this traitor surrendered to the Jianlu, he actively worked for the Jianlu. In those early years, his reputation as a traitor was as famous as that of Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and others. It was not until later that he was overshadowed by Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and others.
At this time, because he was a military commander, he naturally thought of the method of "rob".
When Dorgon heard this, he was really moved. For him, grabbing things is something he is used to. If you can rob it, why go to all the trouble of doing business!
He was thinking about it, but after I saw Bao Chengxian's proud look, I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. I felt that he had thought of it based on his own idea. Now that he had received the credit, he wanted to deny his idea, so he immediately asked Dole Gun said: "Your Highness, the land of Ezo is very close to the Japanese country. If we, the Qing Dynasty, send troops, it may cause misunderstandings from the Japanese country. I think that the current situation of the Qing Dynasty makes it inappropriate to make more enemies for the time being. For the best."
In fact, at this time, the Japanese country had actually expanded in Hokkaido and occupied some areas in the southernmost part of Hokkaido, but the Jianlu people naturally didn't know it yet.
When Fan Wencheng heard this, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and reported to Dorgon: "Your Highness, the Japanese country had fought two major wars with the Ming Dynasty in the past. The two sides were mortal enemies. The so-called enemy of the enemy is an ally. I thought it would be better to send an envoy to form an alliance with the Japanese country. In this way, not only can we get a strong ally, but we can even get food and supplies from the ally. In this way, the strength of the Qing Dynasty will definitely increase greatly!"
