Chapter 193?? Key advice (2)
Fan Wencheng, who was sitting upright in the lobby, his eyes lowered and his eyes were not squinting. Hong Chengchou kept turning his head to look at Fan Wencheng, as if he had something to say. Judging from his expression, Fan Wencheng's face was expressionless, just like an old monk entering into meditation, and a trace of anxiety appeared on Hong Chengchou's face.
When the Eight Banners Army sent troops to Shanhaiguan, Fan Wencheng naturally wanted to follow the army. No one expected that Hong Chengchou would also follow the army to act. Moreover, when deciding on major matters, Dorgon not only solicited Fan Wencheng's opinions, but also solicited Hong Chengchou's opinions. In the eyes of outsiders, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou's status has become equal.
During the march, Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng gradually became more and more contact. When the two occasionally talked, Hong Chengchou vaguely expressed an important point, that is, to keep warm. In the entire Qing Dynasty, the Manchus looked down on the Han people, bullied the Han people at all times, and even killed the Han people at will. Under such circumstances, it is extremely important for the Han people in the Qing Dynasty to keep warm in order to protect themselves. The Han people must unite rather than suspicion of each other, so that the Manchus will restrain themselves.
Hong Chengchou's view caused a fundamental change in Fan Wencheng's attitude. In fact, Fan Wencheng did not have such an idea. His wife was almost snatched away by Prince Yu Duoduo. If Huang Taiji had not come forward, he, a Han man who was dedicated to serving the Manchus, would probably not be able to save his family.
Although Fan Wencheng still looked careless when facing Hong Chengchou, his tone and attitude of speaking had changed. When encountering major events, the two of them would discuss in private and find the best suggestions together.
The effect of this was obvious. The conquest of Shanhaiguan, subjugated Wu Sangui, defeated Li Zicheng, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou made good suggestions, and they were all adopted by Dorgon. Even Duoduo, Ajige and others looked at each other differently.
This fully demonstrates the importance of the Han people gathering together to keep warm.
Finally, Hong Chengchou spoke.
"Mr. Fan, I think the hair shaving order of Lord Regent is too early. Lord Regent also proposed that such a tough strategy will cause great chaos if it is left to keep his hair without his head, and if it is left to keep his hair without his hair.
Fan Wencheng raised his eyes and sighed softly.
"Mr. Hong, you know that once the Regent decides what is going on, it is difficult for us to persuade him. All the Han people in the Qing Dynasty have shaved their hair, including you and me. This is the basis for loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. All the Manchus and nobles think this way. They also agree with the Regent's hair shaving order. How can you and I persuade him to advise him?"
Hong Chengchou snorted softly.
"Since Lord Fan also has this view, I'm relieved. After meeting Lord Regent, I will say it."
Fan Wencheng turned his head and looked at Hong Chengchou, and found that Hong Chengchou had a firm expression on his face.
Hong Chengchou is still more skillful than Fan Wencheng. Advice is skillful. Loyalty is reflected in the process of advising. Although Dorgon is a Manchu, he also knows who is loyal and who is not loyal, and he understands the truth. At such a critical moment, Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth and advised him. Even if he was directly scolded by Dorgon, it didn't matter. I believe Dorgon would be able to figure out the mystery afterwards. At that time, he, Hong Chengchou, would definitely be favored by Dorgon.
The lobby fell into silence again.
Half an hour has passed, and Dorgon has not arrived at the lobby yet, which has already said everything.
Finally, footsteps sounded outside the lobby, and Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou stood up at the same time.
When Dorgon walked into the lobby, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou bowed and bowed at the same time.
Dorgon's expression was not very good, as if he was entangled by something upset.
Hong Chengchou, who stood up, looked at Fan Wencheng and spoke first.
"Sir Regent, the slave suggested that the implementation of the hair shaving order be suspended."
Dorgon's expression instantly became a little ugly.
"Hong Chengchou, the Han people must shave their hair, otherwise they will not be willing to be loyal to our Qing Dynasty. For the Han people who are unwilling to be loyal to our Qing Dynasty, what do we need them to do? It would be better to kill them all."
Hong Chengchou looked at Dorgon with no fear on his face.
"My Lord Regent, the army has just entered the pass, and it has not been long and has not been able to fully stabilize. In this case, the forced implementation of the shaving order may trigger a larger-scale commotion and will not be able to calm down in the future."
Anger finally appeared on Dorgon's face, and he walked to Hong Chengchou.
"Hong Chengchou, what do you mean is that I, the Qing Dynasty, still have to act according to the expressions of the Han people in Guanzhong?"
Hong Chengchou shook his head.
"I don't mean that. I have a saying that I must say it. I can conquer the world immediately, but I cannot govern the world immediately. The Eight Banners Army is brave and invincible. It is a matter of time before the rule of the world. Since the world is from the Qing Dynasty, why should I rush to implement the hair shaving order? I will definitely encounter a strong rebound when I implement the hair shaving order. The Han people in the pass will definitely be reluctant. If they want to adopt the method of killing people to implement the hair shaving order, I don't know how many people will be killed. These killed Han people will also be the people of the Qing Dynasty in the future. Instead of this, it is better to adopt a policy of gentleness, while winning over the rich gentry and wealthy families in the pass, so that they will willingly be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and gradually implement the hair shaving order..."
Dorgon's face became even more angry and he looked at Hong Chengchou.
"Hong Chengchou, what do you mean? Do you mean that I, a man of man, only knows how to conquer the world, but don't know how to govern the world?"
Before Hong Chengchou could answer, Fan Wencheng spoke.
"Regent, I think that Lord Hong doesn't mean this. Lord Hong said that governing the world requires a strategy of gentleness, such as whether to implement this hair shaving order, can some flexible policies be added to it? In fact, Wu Sangui's affairs have already explained everything. Wu Sangui's request to surrender to our Qing Dynasty was not sincere. Lord Hong treated Wu Sangui well, which made him feel sincere. Therefore, before the war, he was sincere and generous, and also helped our court successfully take over the capital..."
Dorgon nodded unconsciously.
Hong Chengchou looked at Fan Wencheng and sincerely sighed that Fan Wencheng followed the Manchus for many years and still understood the Manchus' thoughts better, and Dorgon said something more easily.
"I understand this. You don't need to say more. What else do you have to do."
Fan Wencheng bowed his fists to Dorgon and bowed his head.
"Regent, our Eight Banners Army has occupied the capital. I think that the most critical matter at the moment is to completely wipe out Li Zicheng and Dashun Army, stabilize the situation in northern Zhili, and stabilize the situation in the entire north."
"Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places need to fight against each other. When the army eliminates Li Zicheng and Dashun Army, the court sends officials to local governance and jurisdiction, and these places will naturally stabilize. Shandong, Henan and other places need to take the method of persuading surrender and encirclement and suppression. The Regent can send envoys to these places to persuade the officials of the Ming Dynasty, demand that they be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and promise that they will continue to govern the local area, so that the entire north can be stabilized quickly."
Dorgon widened his eyes and looked at Fan Wencheng.
"Well, Wen Cheng, what you said makes sense. I am also thinking about the matters in Shandong, Henan and other places. However, the army has just entered the capital and there are many other things that need to be dealt with. I will not think of so many for a while."
Hong Chengchou coughed and spoke.
"Regent, I learned about some situations in the capital in the past two days. After Li Zicheng occupied the capital, he implemented the so-called chasing order. To put it bluntly, it was to plunder the money of the gentry and wealthy families. This made the capital panic and unstable everywhere. Not only that, Li Zicheng also implemented the chasing order in Shaanxi and Shanxi. Those places were full of forces against Li Zicheng. The slave thought that after our army occupied the capital, the most important thing was to stabilize the place and stabilize the people. At the same time, he ordered the encirclement and suppression of Li Zicheng's army and treat the local people well, so that the situation in the entire north could naturally stabilize the situation."
"For the officials of the former Ming Dynasty court, the Regent continued to increase the intensity of pacification. If these people wanted to become officials in the court, they had to shave their hair to show their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, the court would not appoint them and would severely punish them and their families. The slaves thought that as long as many officials and gentry took the lead in shaving their hair, ordinary people would naturally not forcefully oppose it, and would shave their hair at that time."
Dorgon's expression became softer, and he looked at Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng and spoke.
"Well, I know your suggestions, you guys go and do your business."
After Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng left, Dorgon held his chin and walked back and forth in the lobby. Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng's suggestions did touch him. Thinking about Huang Taiji treated the surrendered Han people well, he thought that Huang Taiji was too weak at that time. Now it seems that Huang Taiji has a far-sighted vision and has long laid the foundation for unifying the world.
Hong Chengchou said it right. Conquering the world requires force and a powerful Eight Banners Army. It is not possible to govern the world with pure use of force. Just say that the order was forced to implement the hair shaving order. It took two days since the order was issued. There were less than 100 people in the entire capital, but nearly 100 people were killed. Is it possible to continue to kill like this? I am afraid that the more people kill, the more difficult it is to implement the hair shaving order.
After thinking a little, Dorgon coughed loudly.
A personal guard entered the house.
"You go and tell the patrol sergeant that the shaving order should not be forced to be pushed away. What I said before was to keep your hair without leaving your head, and to keep your head without leaving your hair. That is to target Han people who are unwilling to shave their hair. This strategy cannot be targeted at all Han people, but to kill fewer people."
