Road to Shunzhi

Dodo issued the emperor's pardon.

Just as Fulin thought, this pardon is very useful.On the first day when Duoduo just issued the amnesty order, most officials of the Southern Ming court lined up to the barracks to write down their names for appointment by the Qing court.Qian Qianyi and Wang Duo even drafted a public statement calling for people to surrender.

It didn't take long for this call to spread to Beijing. After reading it, Dorgon laughed and passed it to Fulin: "The emperor is always worried that those literati will write something unpleasant. Look, they are all like this." Man, what is there to be afraid of?"

Qian Qianyi's writing is very good, and the writing is brilliant, but aside from the passionate writing, the whole article reveals a servility that can make the Han people cry.

They said that the Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties all entered the Central Plains from the desert, but none of them can drive out the sworn enemies (peasant rebels) for the Central Plains like the Qing Dynasty now, and help us People in the Central Plains avenged the late emperor (Chongzhen was forced to death by Li Zicheng), this kind of noble character, the practice of not benefiting oneself and only benefiting others, can only be achieved by the Qing Dynasty!

Then, they began to narrate: the Qing Dynasty quelled the rebellion in the capital, restored the order of the capital, rebuilt the imperial mausoleum, appeased the emperor's spirit in heaven, quelled the anger of officials, and brought a peaceful and healthy life to the common people.To reuse officials of the Ming Dynasty and follow the system of the Ming Dynasty is simply incomparable sageness.When the Qing army entered the capital of Nanming, they felt that the sun had come out and the sky was bright.The Qing army kept strict discipline. When the Qing army came, the people in Nanjing could live a good life like Beijing.Therefore, their surrender is in accordance with God's will, and the Qing army is the army of justice, everyone, come and surrender!

After Fulin finished reading, he didn't know what expression to make.From the standpoint of the emperor, he naturally wanted to be like Dorgon, despising and joyfully using these people who changed their families.But as a time traveler, he really couldn't be happy, but felt a kind of sadness.

Dorgon sighed: "If there were more people like Huang Duanbo, Nanming would not be defeated so easily."

Fulin said: "If everyone is like Huang Duanbo, how can we rule the world?"

Dorgon nodded: "The emperor is right. However, I don't want all the civil and military officials in my court to surrender when foreign enemies invade."

According to Duduo's written report, 56 civil officials including Qian Qianyi and Wang Duo in Nanjing City, and 23 military officers including a patrol admiral surrendered together.When the Qing soldiers entered Nanjing, more soldiers surrendered along the way, including 47 civil officials and 32 generals.In addition, a total of [-] horse infantry were captured.

In other words, almost the entire Nanming regime and most of the army surrendered in this way.If these people were strictly on guard, Nanjing would not be broken so easily.

The hair-shaving order was once again placed on the dragon case.To be honest, after so long, under Fulin's repeated requests, they did not enforce the hair-shaving order, but let people do as they please.Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and I, who have more seniority, have shaved their hair long ago. Hong Chengchou also shaved himself not long ago. Other Han people have shaved or not, but they all learned how to wear hats. A piece of hat is put on the court, and a few kiwis are mixed in a pile of eggs.

However, this hair-shaving order was jointly proposed by several Manchu and Han ministers.Since Dorgon came to power, he has used strong means to stop the meetings of the Eight Banners and Banners. The banners are naturally dissatisfied, but the rising of the little emperor has given them hope: Prince Rui, you can continue to worry about it. It's still the regent, I don't know if the emperor has started to understand, the little emperor will naturally clean up you!Of course, it's not enough for the little emperor to face the regent directly. He naturally has to rely on external force, whose external force is it?Those of us who discuss politics.

But the facts made everyone fall through the glasses.It is true that the little emperor is sensible, but the regent seems to be sensible too, and he is humble with the little emperor.Every day, the two uncles and nephews were flirting with each other in court, and when they were in court, they were still together, clearly standing on the same front!

Lost, big loss!If the banner owners of the Eight Banners don't care, they will become the Four Banners themselves. If they are not careful, the uncles and nephews will join forces and they may come up with some tricks.Duoduo and Azig are leading the army, isn't it a good time to make trouble?Go to the book, shave your hair and wear it easily, little emperor, you must not forget this book!

The little emperor was unhappy, very unhappy, and tried his best to express a gloomy aura on his chubby face with baby fat: "Didn't I say that you don't have to force your hair to be shaved?"

Shuotuo said: "Shaving your hair is originally a legacy of our ancestors. Now that the Han people have descended, they should follow my Manchurian customs. Only by shaving your hair and making clothes easier can you show your demeanor!"

"Presumptuous!" Dorgon yelled angrily, "The emperor once ordered not to shave your hair by force. How dare you resist the order?"

It has to be said that the regent's deterrent power is several grades higher than that of the little emperor, and everyone suddenly stopped talking honestly, but kept cursing in their hearts.Jierhalang, in particular, almost scolded Dorgon out of his heart: Why are you not allowed to resist the edict? Isn't it your regent who resists the edict the most?Hey, no, it seems that Dorgon has never resisted the order, which is not a good sign.Jierhalang shuddered, as if he saw the little emperor grow into another Dorgon, and the two of them smirked and plotted against them.

Seeing Shuo Tuo's unconvinced look, Fulin seemed to have something to say, so he waved his hand: "We will discuss this matter later."

Dorgon has nothing to do with whether to implement the hair-shaving order.When he first invaded Beijing, he also issued an order to shave his hair, but the Han people refused to obey. After the forced implementation, it also triggered peasant riots.Later, he remembered his nephew's disapproval of the hair-shaving order, and in order to appease public opinion, the matter was left alone.Moreover, he was used to seeing the long hair of the Han people, and he also thought it was quite pleasing to the eye. If the emperor said he would not shave it, it was not a big deal anyway.

However, it was different for the Manchu nobles.They were still in the slave system, and when they suddenly jumped to the middle and late feudal system, they felt a little uncomfortable.They desperately need something to prove themselves, and shaving their hair is like branding their slaves, which is a sign of victory.

The emperor disagreed, but the courtiers insisted, and the regent tried to smooth things over, so forget it, but the courtiers also agreed.They themselves surrendered early, and they have all shaved their heads to get to this point. In order to expand their influence by taking advantage of the xenophobia of the Manchus, they also support shaving their heads.In Fulin's view, this is nothing more than a psychology of envy, jealousy and hatred, as well as the awkwardness of "I've already shaved my hair, how can you not shave it?" So, a single shaving order was brought up for discussion. a few days.

"Why is your majesty so persistent?" In the end, Dorgon couldn't stand it anymore, "It's just a shave. If these people are really so upright, they won't surrender."

Fulin smiled helplessly.In his previous life, he didn't like this dynasty that forced people to shave their hair and change clothes, turned everyone into slaves, and took pride in being slaves.Now that he is the emperor, he wants to use his power to change something.

Seeing him like this, Dorgon persuaded him patiently: "The Han people are nothing more than using their pens, beating and coaxing, killing a few and letting a few become officials. Why bother to upset the Eight Banners for such a trivial matter? ?” My child, our transformation of the Eight Banners has not yet been completed, and they still hold great power. If they unite, we alone will not be their opponents.

Fulin murmured: "Then it can be changed, why do you have to shave the hair of other people's love?"

Dorgon was happy: "Then according to the emperor, what should we change?"

Fulin's eyes suddenly lit up: "I heard that Han women are unable to walk with their feet bound. Why don't you make an order that they are not allowed to bind their feet?"

My child, how can you be so cute!Dorgon couldn't help reaching out and pinching his cheeks: "It's just women, Han people don't worry about women's feet."

Fulin also stretched out his hand to pinch his ear, with a sly light in his eyes: "Uncle, how about we take a gamble? Those people really value women's feet. Why don't you order like this, either shave your hair, or make the daughter of the family Let them choose their own feet. Don’t say that we are barbarians and don’t know how to advance or retreat.” Look, we are more humane, and there is a choice between the two!

In Dorgon's eyes, women are nothing more than used to carry on the family line. Of course, Yuer is different, but there is no second Yuer in this world.Therefore, he didn't care about other women at all, and took it for granted that other people were the same, and it was impossible for him to wrong his hair because of a woman's small feet.However, it was rare to see Fulin being so childish, so he smiled cooperatively: "Okay, what does the emperor want to bet on?"

"Well," Fulin tilted his head and thought for a while, "I want a piece of Tianhuang stone, it's this big." As he spoke, he drew a circle with his little hand.

Dorgon was amused by him. Although Tian Huangshi is precious, there are still many in the palace, so he asked: "Why do you want this all of a sudden? Does the emperor still lack Tian Huangshi?"

"Anyway, I'm useful. I want the kind that hasn't been carved or engraved." Fulin simply clings to him and acts like a spoiled child.

"Okay, okay, uncle will get it for you." Dorgon hugged him, "Then if uncle wins, what will the emperor give me?"

"Whatever uncle wants, I will make it for you!" Fulin raised his head, very serious.

Dorgon smiled happily: "Then I want dragon liver and phoenix marrow, okay?"

Fulin turned his head: "Hmph, uncle won't make things difficult for me!"

The author has something to say:

When the Qing court implemented the order to shave the hair, although it was very twists and turns, it succeeded in the end; but when the Qing court implemented the order to put the feet down, it received unexpected resistance and had to let it go.

it's wired.

In addition, this extremely flattering article written by Qian Qianyi and others is true.It is also true to compare the Qing army to the sun.

In fact, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty had a kind of respect from the bottom of their hearts for people like Huang Duanbo who would rather die than surrender.
