During the conflict between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Dutch sent an envoy to Beijing in 1655 in order to trade with China, and contacted the Manchus very early.After the Dutch were driven out of Taiwan by Zheng Chenggong, they were unwilling to lose Taiwan, intending to recapture Taiwan, so they formed an alliance with the Qing Dynasty.In 1663, the Qing army formed an alliance with the Dutch army, defeated the Zheng army at Kinmen, and occupied Kinmen and Xiamen, forcing the Zheng army to retreat to Taiwan, and occupied the chicken coop in the north of Taiwan, containing the Zheng army.The Manchu Qing occupied Taiwan, and the propaganda was all Shi Lang's courage and proper command, which seemed to be the credit of the Qing army, but in fact, the Dutch made great efforts, otherwise even if there was Shi Lang, it would be difficult for the Manchu division to defeat the Zheng army.This history is only for certain needs, so it is rarely mentioned in books and is not known.At this time, although the Dutch were not driven out of Taiwan, the rise of Huaxing Company made the Dutch feel a huge threat.After five years in Taiwan, the town of Tunghae has gained a firm foothold, building workshops and cutting wood to build warships.With the manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for the Dutch to compete at all, so after weighing, the Dutch East India Company contacted the Manchus in advance.On the Tongzhou school grounds, the Dutch soldiers demonstrated the Dutch muskets and artillery to Dolgon, much to the shock of Dolgon and the Manchurian nobles.It has to be said that the Dutch came at a good time, and if they had come early, it would have been a question of whether they would have met Dolgon.Now, they were just in time for the defeat of the Manchus in Fujian and the loss of Jingzhou, so that Dolgon and the Manchurian nobles could accept the firearms of the Dutch.In the Tongzhou school field, after the Dutch demonstrated their firearms, Dolgon ordered the Eight Banners to follow the drill and show their military might like the Dutch.Tens of thousands of battle-hardened Eight Banners soldiers demonstrated the infantry battle formation, cavalry charges, and bird salvos, demonstrating the strength of the Eight Banners.After the Tongzhou exercise, Dolgon immediately sent Hong Chengchou to sign the "Qing-Dutch Union Agreement" with the Dutch, but because of the strong maritime strength of Donghai Town, there was already a tendency to become the maritime hegemon of East Asia, in order to avoid Donghai Town from interfering with the cooperation between Qing and Dutch, the treaty would exist in a secret situation and would not be made public.The treaty stipulated that the Qing would purchase 2,000 flintlock pistols and 30 bronze cannons from the Netherlands, and at the same time give the Dutch East India Company 100,000 taels of silver for recruiting craftsmen, and the Qing side would open the Dagu port as a trading port.The Dutch East India Company was obliged to assist the Qing by building flintlock muskets and field bronze cannons, and at the same time selling naval warships to the Manchus.The ships were built by the Dutch East India Company in Dayuan and Batavia, and then used as merchant ships, which went to Dagu with the fleet and finally delivered to the Qing Dynasty, and the price of the ships was determined according to the actual tonnage built.After the treaty was signed, the Dutch delivered the goods they carried, hundreds of flintlock pistols and ten bronze cannons, to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then Yang Fan left Dagu and returned to the island of Taiwan.In 1650, the seventh year of Shunzhi, Beijing, Bauhinia City, the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers.At the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, on the one hand, it absorbed the Han system to rule the world, and on the other hand, it retained many characteristics of primitive tribes.The Council of Ministers was an important system in the early Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was a system in which the upper nobles such as the Manchu kings, the Eight Banners, and the Baylor participated in handling state affairs.Dorgon was able to become regent because he had mastered the Council of Ministers, which was full of his henchmen and those who depended on him.However, in the past two years, Dolgon seems to be still in the ascendant, but in fact it is an undercurrent, especially after the death of Dorgon, Dolgon's strength has been greatly reduced, causing a long-suppressed backlash from the two blue flag nobles, as well as some of the two yellow flag nobles.At this time, in the hall, many Manchu princes gathered, and they were whispering some secret news, as well as the current situation, but the most talked about was not long ago, the Manchu court implemented a decree against the clan and the bannerman.At the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the tax system and the tax system were relatively chaotic, which made the Manchus seize a lot, but the treasury still did not have much surplus.Seeing that the Ming Dynasty in the south was getting harder and harder to fight, and could no longer rely on raiding to keep the country running, Dolgon embarked on large-scale reforms.At the beginning of the year, in order to organize the army, replenish the Eight Banners, and manufacture equipment, Dolgon issued an order to stipulate the number of Manchu clan gardens: eight for the prince, five for the county king, four for the beylor, three for the bezi, and two for the duke, with each field of 180 acres.240 acres for General Zhenguo, 180 acres for General Fuguo, 120 acres for General Fengguo, and 60 acres for General Fengen.All the kings and generals who gave the garden land, the Manchu court stopped supplying their families with rations and rice.The princess, the county lord, the officers and soldiers stationed there, and the strong men were also prescribed one by one.Later, the Manchu court only divided the banner field and gave it to Yulu, and as for the rest, it did not care about anything, and in terms of finance, it got rid of a huge burden and saved a large amount of money and grain for the Manchu Qing to train the army.This was originally a good thing, but it affected the interests of the Eight Banners and the clan, which made the Manchurian nobles a little dissatisfied.In the past, the nobles of the Eight Banners did not dare to have any opinions, but now that the Manchu front is defeated, and Dorgon's right-hand man Duoduo died in the south of the Yangtze River, Dolgon's prestige has been greatly damaged, and there are different voices in the Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers."
The Lord Regent has arrived!"
While everyone was talking, the guards outside the hall suddenly shouted.Dolgon had been accumulating power for a long time, and the Manchurian nobles who were talking in the hall immediately stopped talking, and even Zilharang and Hauge, who were talking in a whisper, stopped talking, and everyone stood on both sides of the main hall, bowing down in unison, "Welcome to the regent!"
”Dorgon walked straight into the main hall, sat down in the central hall, and waved his hand, "Get up!"
This king summoned you and others to come and convene a meeting of the king's ministers, which is to discuss the two major events that the Qing Dynasty will carry out this year!
”The crowd slowly stood up, bowed their heads and hands, and listened to Dorgon's words.Originally, the Council of Ministers of the Parliamentary King was discussed by the Manchurian aristocracy, but in recent years, it has been made into a hall of words by Dolgon, like an emperor.Dolgon glanced at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "These two things, one is to seize Jingzhou by the troops of Sichuan, Henan, and Huguang provinces, capture Changsha, and exterminate the small court of the puppet Ming Dynasty!"
”Some time ago, the Ming army took Jingzhou and hit the morale of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the Huguang Ming army was surging in battle, and the Qing army must recapture Jingzhou and beat down the arrogance of the Ming army, otherwise the Longwu court will be really difficult to deal with.Dorgon continued: "Another thing is that a secret treaty has been signed with the Dutch recently, and the imperial court will forge a large number of new firearms. ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe) ()
