For the Manchu Qing Dynasty, without Dorgon, they would not have the ability to seize the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains.
Dorgon was the fourteenth son of Nurhaci, who was nearly buried after Nurhaci's death at the age of 15. The young Dorgon was a good fighter, and at the age of 16, because of his outstanding military achievements, the Emperor Taiji gave him the beautiful title of "Morgen Daiqing". At the age of 24, he was crowned the third-ranked Prince of Heshuo rui. After the death of Emperor Taiji, Dorgon could have been emperor, but due to internal contradictions, he could not balance it, so he could only choose Ai Xinjueluo Fulin, the ninth son of Emperor Taiji, as the new emperor. Dorgon, on the other hand, served as an auxiliary prince and empress dowager Xiaozhuang, and took care of the imperial government for Shunzhi. Dorgon later won the Ming Dynasty for the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time he also used various means to fight dissidents, turning himself from an auxiliary prince to a regent and became the de facto emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Shunzhi Emperor Fu Lin, although he is the emperor, is actually a puppet, he is a small age, the shadow of being manipulated by people from childhood has been lingering in his mind, seven years of life as a son of heaven, instead of having the feeling of the emperor being on top, but like being in a cage, not seeing the day, I wish that this "emperor father regent" hung up early.
In the winter of the seventh year of Shunzhi (1651), dorgon, who was only 38 years old, died while hunting in the north of Sai. However, the result of this was to let the 13-year-old Shunzhi Emperor Fu Lin personally take charge of the government in advance to face the government controlled by Dorgon's henchmen.
After the Shunzhi Emperor Fu Came to power, how to liquidate the Dolgun power group was an important task in front of him, but he did not dare to act rashly, after all, Dorgon had been regent for seven years, and the henchmen were deeply rooted, and if he was not careful, the throne would be difficult to protect.
The 13-year-old Fu Lin showed unusual maturity and stability in this liquidation of the Dorgon power group, and under the arrangement of Empress Xiaozhuang and others, he decided to use the two hands of "yin and yang" to deal with:
The yang's hand is divided into two steps, and the purpose is to try to capture and paralyze the dorgon forces.
In the first step, on December 25, at the request of Dorgon's henchmen, he buried the regent in the specifications of the emperor, and then posthumously honored Dorgon as the righteous emperor and his concubine as the righteous empress. On the tenth day of the first month of the new year, Dolbo, the son of Dolgun, inherited his father's title, with a salary three times that of an ordinary prince, and a reward of eighty guards.
In the second step, from the third day of the first lunar month to the second day of the first month of February, within a month, the pro-imperial faction forces were successively promoted, and Budan, Suksaha, Zhandai, Itu, Gong Adai, Aobai, Baturujan, and Durma were appointed as parliamentary ministers, and Mandahai and Doni were promoted to princes, and Rokdo, Wada, and Jieshu were appointed as county kings. Aobai and the others are Dorgon's sworn enemies, and Mandahai and the others are the old members of Hauge Zhengchuan.
The "Yin" hand is divided into three steps, with the purpose of clearing the periphery and carrying out the cleansing of power.
The first step is to imprison Azig. Before Dorgon's death, he summoned the King of England to explain the aftermath, and the King of England sent three hundred horsemen to ride the Capital Division. There is no historical record of Dorgon's account of the aftermath, but he was obviously sensitive to the fact that after his death, a counterattack would definitely arise, hoping that Azig would succeed him and protect the vested interests of the family. Azig's movements were slow. Gang Lin, a university scholar who accompanied Dorgon on hunting, "entered Beijing first, closed the nine gates of the city, and told King Zong, Gushan, and so on." As soon as the three hundred iron horses reached the Beijing Division, they were killed. The opportunity was not taken, and Azig tried to annex the White Banner and become the second dorgon by force, but was denounced. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zilharang and others, on the grounds of disrespect for the regent, cut Azig, raided his home, and imprisoned him, and soon made him commit suicide, and the foundation of Dorgon was uprooted.
The second step is to weaken the henchmen. On the fifth day of the first month of February, Prince Boluo and Nikan exposed Dorgon's cronies Such as Roshi, Borhui, Erkeqin, Subai, and Wubai as "shaking the kingdom", and were tried by the kings and courtiers, either killed or exiled. On the fifteenth day, Tan Tai denounced He Luohui and Hu Xi for assisting Dolgun in committing wrongdoing, and Fu Lin ordered He Luohui and Hu Xi to be hacked to death. After these important henchmen were eliminated, the rest of the people turned to the new masters, and the Dorgon clique was completely disintegrated.
The third step is to dethrone Dolgun. After the outer obstacles were cleared, the counterattacking sword stabbed directly into the Coffin of Dolgun. On February 21, the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651), Zilharang and others fabricated four major crimes against Dolgun, revealing both Chinese and foreign: First, Dolgun replaced Zilharang's regent with Dolgun, "reneging on his oath and arrogantly respecting himself"; second, the etiquette and instruments used were no different from those of the emperor; third, spread rumors and falsely claimed that the emperor's taiji throne was seized; fourth, forced Hauge to die, and Naqi's concubines. Immediately after the announcement of Dorgon's crimes, Fu Lin issued an edict, "Cut the knighthood, remove the temple, dismiss the title, depose the clan room, and enter the official with property."
The young Shunzhi Emperor, in liquidating the Dorgon forces, adopted the "yin and yang" hands, and fully recovered the lost imperial power into his own hands.
Shunzhi has his own set of ideas in governing the country: politically, he insists on following the Ming system and vigorously appoints Han officials; economically, he restores agricultural production and reduces the burden on the people; and in the administration of officials, he implements an appraisal system to encourage the survival of the fittest. In order to stabilize the social order, he issued a decree to slow shave his hair, decreed the cessation of land enclosure, abolished many maladministrations of the Dorgon era, and played a positive role in promoting recuperation and easing contradictions.
Although the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin was young and old, his life expectancy was not long, he only lived for 24 years, and died of smallpox in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661).
