Chapter 1 Huang Taiji Proclaims Emperor (1)
Chapter 1 Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor (I)
In the eighth year of Chongzhen, in the ninth year of Tiancong, in the Later Jin Dynasty, on October 13, Huang Taiji officially issued an edict, which said: "Originally, Manchu, Hada, Wula, Yehe, Huifa,
People with ignorant names are often called Zhushen. The name of Zhushen is a descendant of the northern prefecture of Melgen, which is actually nothing to do with our country. Our country established the name of Manchuria and was renowned for its long history. From now on, all people have only called the original name of Manchuria in our country, and they cannot continue to claim it in the past." From this day on, Manchuria became a synonym for the Later Jin Kingdom, and the Manchus replaced the original Jurchen tribes of three different regions, and merged into one tribe and became a new race.
Upon receiving this news, Zhu Yinglong knew that Huang Taiji was going to be the emperor. In fact, the preparations for becoming emperor were already underway. As early as the sixth year of Tiancong (the fifth year of Chongzhen), Huang Taiji abolished the old system of sitting side by side with the three major belles, and sat alone in the north and south, and began to be praised in the south, which had already exposed his ambition to ascend the throne to the throne.
Next, the court uniforms and the regular uniforms of officials and civilians were set up, and the "Manchu Records" were drawn, and the Beile commanded the army to practice the formation. This was the beginning of the great reading. The Taizu Mausoleum was built, and the pine and cypresses were built, stone beasts were set up, and the Taimiao was established. The army was set up to visit the temple and worship the heavens and perform rituals and music, and the New Year's Day celebrations were celebrated. In the first month of the ninth year, the Taizu's concubine son was called "Age", and the Sixth Patriarch's descendants were called "Jeluo", and Juelu tied a red belt to distinguish them.
"Emperor, Huang Taiji's intention to be emperor has been revealed. The court must prepare for the future and be prepared to start a war." The news reached the capital, and Sun Chengzong was the first to ask for Zhu Yinglong and demanded that the war preparations in Liaodong be strengthened.
"It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, and Huang Taiji wants to be the emperor. I can't stop him. Just do what he should do!" Zhu Yinglong was very calm. He had already known that there would be such a day.
"What is the court's attitude when Huang Taiji was called emperor?"
"What should I do, what else I do, everything will not change!" Zhu Yinglong ordered in a deep voice. This is the highest level of reaction without reaction, which makes you Huang Taiji unable to touch the Ming Dynasty's attitude at all.
"Yes!" Sun Chengzong leaned over and said.
"Huang Taiji has established himself as the emperor, and he is probably willing to march into the Central Plains. The Liaodong border defense needs to be further strengthened. I suggest that the two cavalry divisions of the Beijing Military Region be transferred to the Liaodong Military Region to strengthen their mobility." Sun Chengzong suggested.
Zhu Yinglong nodded. The two cavalry divisions were not very useful in the capital. During the future Northern Expedition, relying solely on the Liaodong Military Region's strength would definitely seem a bit indifferent. At this time, the two cavalry divisions were transferred over and adapted to the atmosphere and environment of the war. So he nodded and said, "Well, it's very good, just do as you wish!"
The cavalry of the two divisions suddenly moved to Liaodong, which was an elite cavalry of more than 20,000 people. The Ming Dynasty cavalry was originally lacking. This arranged a cavalry unit of four divisions and one brigade in Liaodong at once, with a total strength of nearly 50,000. Although the cavalry's strength was far inferior to that of the Later Jin Dynasty, if the combat effectiveness of these 50,000 cavalry was much like the two thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry led by Wu Sangui, then these 50,000 people could reach more than 200,000 Mongolian Iron Cavalry, especially the Ming Dynasty's advanced technology, and the cavalry equipment was far higher than that of the Later Jin and Mongolian Iron Cavalry. The advantage of equipment could offset the gap in the physical fitness of soldiers, not to mention that this gap has been gradually narrowing in the past two years.
Zhu Yinglong likes Su Moer very much, especially her smart little hands, who are very good at serving men. Of course, the taste is not to be told by outsiders. Yan Hong suffered from weakness after giving birth and needed cultivation, so she naturally could not serve Zhu Yinglong. So Su Ma replaced Yan Hong's position and became Zhu Yinglong's full-time secretary. However, as her belly grew bigger day by day, Su Moer was no longer suitable to serve Zhu Yinglong. Su Moer recommended Da Yuer, who had grown up since childhood.
Although Da Yu'er was nominally taken into the harem by herself, she had not had a day in bed. Hai Lanzhu and Su Moer were very anxious. Although Da Yu'er seemed to be a very strong woman and was very scheming, she was still a woman after all. In this kind of life where there was a man but no man, there was already gossip in the palace, but everyone was hiding it from Zhu Yinglong, and no one dared to mention it in front of him. Even the Empress Zhou Yingning was not easy to interfere, so that Da Yu'er felt wronged until midnight and often shed tears in her pillow towels.
Su Moer and Da Yuer are already sisters, but in front of Da Yuer and Hai Lanzhu sisters, Su Moer is still always humble.
"Yu'er, Su Mo'er took a lot of effort to make the emperor promise you to work for her temporarily. This is your only chance. If you don't grasp it, your sister will not be able to help you." Hai Lanzhu regretted that she shouldn't have forced Zhu Yinglong to agree to take over Da Yu'er. Once she entered the palace gate was as deep as the sea, Da Yu'er had no way out. Unless she was willing to live alone in the palace for the rest of her life, such women were usually very miserable.
"He has had prejudice against me from the beginning and has never liked me. It's been eleven years, and I've been by his side for eleven years. Even if he gave me such a title, he has never liked me psychologically. Since he doesn't like it, it's useless to force it. Sister, Yu'er's heart is dead, so let Yu'er spend the rest of her life with you in this palace." Da Yu'er said sadly.
Zhu Yinglong is a stubborn person, and she would rather break than bend. She would never change something he believed. He believed that Da Yu'er was an ambitious and scheming woman. She resisted her identity from the beginning. If she could not send her back, she would kill this innocent girl without any necessity. When Da Yu'er grew up day by day, her scheming grew day by day and could even see through some of her own thoughts. This made Zhu Yinglong very uncomfortable. A superior or supreme emperor, allowing a woman to see her heart easily. This is not only
Just to suppress his self-esteem, he felt more wary. One was eager to show himself and hoped that the other party could notice him, while the other party had preconceived ideas and had already determined that the relationship naturally went further and further. Although he had self-reflection later, this kind of cognition that lasted more than ten years and even a previous life could not be easily changed. Therefore, Zhu Yinglong treated Da Yu'er coldly, treated him equally, and provided food and clothing with the same supply, but he did not bed with him, and both sides seemed to have maintained a limited distance.
He knew what Su Moer and Hai Lanzhu were thinking, and he also wanted to try to accept Da Yuer, otherwise he would not have agreed to let Da Yuer take over Su Moer's work temporarily. In this way, the relationship might be gradually improved when observing and understanding around him.
"Yu'er, we women always have to rely on men. Do you know why the emperor has never accepted you?" Hai Lanzhu said with a lesson by pulling her face down.
"Why, why? Didn't he dislike me for marrying Huang Taiji and being a concubine, and thought I was an unchaste woman." Da Yu'er's eyes turned red. Han men pay great attention to chastity, let alone men among men, the emperor of a country's king.
"Wrong, if this is the case, why did Concubine Zhuang Li get favored by the emperor? It should be noted that Empress Li has another unfortunate experience. The emperor did not dislike her before the experience of losing her virginity, but was more pityful. Although you married Huang Taiji, you are just a nominal couple, not a man or a woman. The emperor already knew it, how could he despise you for this?" Although Hai Lanzhu did not have the political talent of Da Yu'er, her keen grasp of men and women's emotions is above those with high IQ and low EQ.
"Then, what's going on?" Da Yu'er has always believed that Zhu Yinglong disliked him in this aspect and never thought about it in other aspects.
"A smart woman falls in love with a proud man, and this woman is also very proud. She always wants to show herself in front of a man. Do you think this man will like this woman?" Hai Lanzhu asked with a smile.
"This, this..." Da Yu'er had never thought about such questions and didn't know how to answer them.
"This man either has a purpose or he wouldn't like such a woman." Hai Lanzhu paused, "Do you know why the emperor insisted on making Zhou Yingning the queen?"
Da Yu'er thought for a while and said, "The Empress is gentle and treats people with ease."
"What you said is right, but what is more important is the toleration of the Empress. If there is no such tolerance, will the harem be so peaceful? Also, don't underestimate the Queen's ability. If it is small, the Queen has established absolute authority in the harem. Who in the harem dares to say no to the Queen?" Hai Lanzhu explained.
"What does that have to do with me?" Da Yu'er said stunned.
"The emperor is a human, not a god, so he is not without his shortcomings, but the Queen can tolerate these shortcomings, remember that it is tolerant rather than indulgence, but you are confronting him with tit-for-tat, and sometimes you are even eager to show yourself. Look at which of those old ministers are not hiding a clumsy in front of the emperor. Do you really think they don't understand, don't you know? Think about it carefully for yourself." Hai Lanzhu said with a hint of sternness in her tone.
Da Yuer thoughtful, and her sister Hai Lanzhu's words rang her heart like morning bells and evening drums. Sometimes political keenness does not mean political wisdom, and smart women are not easy to do.
To be honest, Da Yu'er is not a competitive person, but since she was rescued by Zhu Yinglong, he is no longer the Da Yu'er in history. She has completely transformed. Maybe she married Huang Taiji and will learn to be patient and keep a low profile in the inspiring harem struggles. However, after changing the environment, even her original identity has almost been abandoned. That is another way of living. Different environments have naturally become different in a person's personality. What's more, Da Yu'er was rescued by Zhu Yinglong, which is an important period for a person's personality to take shape. Therefore, Da Yu'er is almost fundamentally different from the noble woman in history. Apart from the unchanging clever head, there is no baptism of the cruel palace struggle, and the constraints of the soul are untied. Da Yu'er has embarked on another path different from history.
