Road to Shunzhi

In March of the 18th year of Shunzhi, the emperor ordered to stop the enclosure.As soon as this order came out, the Manchu nobles rebounded severely.Helpless, Fulin has been in charge for many years, holding two yellow flags and a blue flag in his hands, which is quite powerful, while Jieshu who is a red flag is still young, and the flag affairs are still in the hands of the emperor.Shuo Sai, the leader of the Banner Bordered with Red Banner, the fifth elder brother of the emperor, naturally also stood by the emperor.

It seems that the only one who can compete with the emperor is the regent Dorgon.Although Dorgon is in a semi-retired state, the two white flags are still firmly in his hands, and his son Dorbo and Doni are in charge of the bordered blue flag, which can be said to be the largest one besides the emperor. private power.

As a result, Dorgon faced a powerful fire attack.As the upper four banners, the two white banners have gained a lot of benefits in the land enclosure movement, so it is not a big deal for them to stop the enclosure, but the relationship between the eight banners is intricate. The relatives were in the Zhenglan Banner, and maybe the daughter-in-law came here with the red flag, so there were quite a few people who came to intercede with Dorgon on behalf of the relatives.

Dorgon was very annoying, he lived in a lot, and moved to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, which meant not to get involved.After Fulin heard about it, he thought it was funny, and specially ordered Dorgon to return to Beijing, saying that he had something important to discuss.

Was cheated by the emperor again.Dorgon said that sooner or later one of his old bones would be dismantled by the emperor and the emperor's children.Jing Er is ready to study officially, and Fulin intends to let Dorgon educate him, allowing him to leave the palace and enter and exit the Regent's Palace at will. In order not to attract attention, he can often go to play with Coral.Of course the two children did not understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, they were just happy to be able to go out of the palace to play from time to time, and wished they could rely on the regent's house.

Jing E is six years old and Shan Shan is five years old. It is the time when they are full of curiosity about everything, and they always have some whimsical ideas. Sometimes even Dorgon can't hold it.

"Mafa, I want to raise a big dog, it's so big!" Coral clung to Dorgon's body, mouthing "Mafa" sweetly, "Ama said, there is a big dog in your village, Did you bring coral with you when you went to Zhuangzi this time?"

As soon as Dorgon entered the palace after returning to Beijing, the two little ancestors came over, complaining about not taking them to play, and expressing their miss, which made Dorgon's heart melt.

With his little hands behind his back, Jing Bing said in a very human-like way: "Sister, big dogs, lions, and so on are all liked by boys. You should like little white rabbits." It's best to give me your little lion— —During the Chinese New Year, North Korea got a little white lion from somewhere, and Fulin gave it to Shan Hu.

"That's mine. If brother wants it, ask Ama for more." Coral is also surprised, she likes some dangerous animals and almost wants to sleep with the cub in her arms, "Thinking about asking me for it, shy. "

Jing E let out a long sigh, looked up at the sky, and said old-fashionedly: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and it is difficult to raise them." His sister is both a woman and a villain, and Jing E suddenly felt that his life was hard.Fortunately, there is only this girl in the palace so far. Concubine Wan gave birth to a little elder brother last year, otherwise he would be so pitiful as an elder brother.

"Okay, let's all go down, I have something to tell you Mafa. Your mother made a snack today." After watching his son and daughter molesting the regent with satisfaction, Fulin packed them up and sent them to the queen.

Dorgon watched the chubby bodies of the two little guys struggling to turn over the threshold of the imperial study, and said to Fulin: "When the emperor was young, I removed all the thresholds of the house."—He can say this Are the two guys worthy of being biological?His emperor's nephew didn't like being hugged when he was a child, and he had to walk by himself. In his residence in Shengjing, there was no threshold for his nephew to walk conveniently.

He said this as if he were a heinous stepfather who tormented his children.Fulin touched his nose and said, "I don't remember what happened when I was a child."

Dorgon smiled and stroked his beard: "I still remember. Every time the emperor went out to play, he would not be hugged when he was tired. He would ride on my neck and urinate on my neck." .”

Framed, absolutely framed!He has been very self-controlled since he was three years old, and rarely wets the bed, right?Just now he said that he doesn't remember the things when he was a child, so Fulin had no choice but to give Dorgon a hard look, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have any!"

"Okay, if the emperor says there is no one, then there is none." Dorgon was easy to talk to, "Oh, it seems that the dress is still there, I will go back and look for it someday."

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Fulin said sternly, "Uncle, I'm suspending the enclosure of the land. Is there a big opinion on the bottom?"

Dorgon leaned back lazily: "So what? The current Eight Banners are quite different from when they entered the customs."

It is indeed very different.The combat effectiveness has declined and the life is extravagant. If there is no change, the Eight Banners will be raised and abolished sooner or later.Fulin said: "Zhen will open Enke."

"Then?" Dorgon has long been used to the sharp point, "This time the imperial examination must be biased towards Jiangnan scholars, right? For those people in the Eight Banners, letting them study would be worse than killing them. This benefit is not enough, for them Say, it’s better than the draft.”

"I don't plan to enter the harem anymore." Fulin frowned when he heard the draft, "I already have three sons and one daughter, which makes sense."

Dorgon didn't try to persuade him in this regard, and continued: "In my opinion, enclosing land is nothing more than giving them more benefits. Does the emperor have other ways to make them rich?"

Fulin has been thinking about this question recently, saying: "I met the envoy of the Dutch East India Company last year, and I was very touched. It's just a business traveler. When it grows bigger, it can actually influence the country's decision. I heard that they This man said that they are so rich that they underestimated them. They have their own soldiers, their own land, and they can also make money. I thought, find some clever tricks from the Eight Banners, and let them go to the caravan. "

Dorgon thought for a while, then asked: "I've also heard about this Rausch subsidiary company. They are led by only about ten people, all of whom are rich. It would be great if the Eight Banners can check each other. If they unite, the emperor may It will be difficult."

Fulin nodded: "I am also worried about this matter." To put it bluntly, it was Fulin who wanted to use the method of opening up business routes to distract the attention of the people in the Eight Banners and let them make a fortune in other places, but he was afraid that they would learn from others. Indian companies, and then use their huge financial resources to lift themselves up.

Fulin also knew that the birth of the East India Company required the right time and place. The maritime trade of the Netherlands was started by pirates. The pirates were unwilling to surrender, but they could bring force and wealth to the country. The king couldn’t control it, so he would naturally let them bigger.But the Eight Banners are different.The emperor is the spokesman for their common interests, even if they have money and soldiers, they will not do anything to the emperor.What's more, the relationship between the Eight Banners is too complicated, so complicated that they have no possibility of a united front.

It’s just that he understands better: when people are rich, the germs of capitalism will naturally emerge, and there will be fierce conflicts between capitalism and the slave system at the core of the Eight Banners. At that time, no matter which side wins, the emperor will not If there is a good end, the best result is to be regarded as a symbol like the British royal family in later generations, and to be worshiped high.

Power is addictive.Fulin has already fallen in love with this kind of unspoken feeling. He can decide a person's life or death at will, decide other people's happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy from a high position, and even decide the direction of a country.When he just crossed, he once thought about sending China to the road of constitutional monarchy, but now, he doesn't want to.

Dorgon didn't realize that the emperor was distracted, and just tapped lightly on the imperial case. This is his habit every time he thinks: Eight Banners, Mongolia, Annan, Myanmar...

"Fight." Dorgon said suddenly, "Wait and see the result. If the troubles get too serious, let's go fight."

Use external contradictions to transfer internal contradictions.Fulin's eyes flashed: "What does uncle mean?"

"Myanmar." Dorgon said righteously, "At the beginning, Myanmar and Nanming had close contacts, and they still refuse to recognize the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Myanmar is rich in jade."

Using external expansion to feed the Eight Banners, anyway, the people of other countries are unlucky, and it has nothing to do with themselves.Fulin still had some innate resistance to the word aggression, and said in a low voice, "Let me think again."

In April, the imperial examinations were held on time.During the imperial examination, everything will make way for it, even the noisy Eight Banners will stop making trouble, and concentrate on watching the upstarts who come out this time.

The number one scholar this time is called Ma Shijun, around thirty, just a good age to enter the Imperial Academy, with clear features and a personable demeanor.It stands to reason that such an outstanding Zhuangyuanlang will definitely attract people's attention, but it is a pity that his limelight has been taken away by Tanhualang.Tanhua Liao Xia, only [-] years old, was born in a merchant, and his father was one of the merchants trapped in Malacca with Gao Sai.In order to comfort these businessmen, Fulin once decreed to allow their descendants to take imperial examinations.

A descendant of a merchant, who became Tanhua, was already a sensation, but this Tanhualang was an out-and-out handsome man, as long as he stood there, and a little wind blew through his belt, he would look like a real man. Banished!

Fulin thought it was cool that he didn't have a policy of forcing people to shave their hair and change clothes.For a person like Liao Xia who is at the level of a fairy with a half-bald head, it would be a waste of money to think about it.

The sudden birth of this Tanhualang made the topic of the capital on him in a high-profile manner.Not to mention the hearts of a large number of girls during the parade, even the harem began to talk about this Tanhualang, who is so beautiful that he is not like ordinary people.

"Okay, have you seen it all? Satisfied?" Bumbutai is the empress dowager, so she was naturally able to have an audience at the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Ren Na took the lead, and a group of princesses came out blushing and greeted the Queen Mother.Ren Na was the most generous, and said: "Everyone said that this Tanhua looks so good, in my opinion, he is not as good as my cousin." - She was telling the truth, in her eyes, there is no man in the world who can compare her emperor.

The rest of Grid also echoed, whether it was sincere or not.After Fulin knew this, the corners of his mouth twitched.This kind of behavior of the old lady covering up, the eldest wife taking the lead, and leading a group of younger wives to watch the beautiful man can appear in his own harem. Is it because his harem is too peaceful?

Anyway, Liao Xia made a great contribution this time.Young, promising and unmarried, even though he came from a bad background, it was enough for the rich Manchurians to offer their concubine daughters to win her over.What's more, he also has such a face, which is enough to make a girl in a boudoir dream about her.

The matter of enclosing the land was finally put aside, and Fulin once again believed that it was very correct for him to allow intermarriage between Manchus and Hans.

The author has something to say:

Power is the best drug. Fulin is addicted. Now let him be a constitutional monarchy. He will never do it.

Well, it is going to make great strides in the future, and it will jump for a few years. In the 18th year of Shunzhi in history, Fulin died. Here he is still alive and well, which is gratifying.
