At the critical moment when the Qing Dynasty came to dominate the Central Plains, Dolgon played an important role in supporting Emperor Shunzhi to ascend the throne. However, he was not the heir to the throne, but was posthumously honored as emperor after the early death of Emperor Shunzhi. Dolgon became de facto emperor during his regency, but faced a variety of dilemmas. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, he implemented a series of policies, which not only relieved the burden of the common people during the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also caused a revolt of the Han people.
Dolgon's father, Nurhachi, had planned to pass the throne to him, but he lost the throne when Huang Taiji and several other brothers joined forces. Although it is recorded in the records of Emperor Shunzhi that he claimed that Emperor Taizongwen had ascended the throne and was originally seized, Dolgon did not officially sit on the throne. However, after his death, Emperor Shunzhi posthumously honored him as the emperor for his contribution to the Qing Dynasty. Although he did not become an emperor during his lifetime, he was recognized after his death, showing that Emperor Shunzhi spoke highly of him.
Under the regency of Dolgon, the Qing dynasty gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains and initially unified the country. At the beginning of the reign of Emperor Shunzhi, Dolgon promulgated a series of new policies to ease the burden of the people during the Ming and Qing dynasties. For example, the Decree of the Regent on Officials, Soldiers, and Civilians, etc., stipulates various policies for reduction and exemption, including exemption from salaries, expulsion of salaries, training of salaries, and the purchase of rice beans. In addition, Dolgon took measures to crack down**, severely punishing corrupt officials, and stipulating how the stolen money should be distributed. He also promoted the first imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty, which was supported by the Han people in the north.
However, some of Dorgon's policies also had an impact on the Qing Dynasty's foothold in the Central Plains. The policy of shaving their hair and making it easy to obey led to a revolt of the already obedient Han Chinese, which became the fuse of social unrest. Allowing the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners to plunder the Han Chinese as slaves and imposing fugitive laws created a destabilizing factor for Qing rule in the Central Plains. These policies were not abolished until the Kangxi Dynasty.
Even if Dorgon became emperor, it would be difficult for him to create a prosperous era in the early years of the Qing Dynasty. In the nearly 20 years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Qing Dynasty has been in the midst of a campaign against the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Great Shun Dynasty and other anti-Qing and Ming restoration forces. Dorgon was already in poor health when he entered the customs, and it was difficult for him to live for more than twenty years. According to the Regent's Notes, Dorgon was exhausted from his busy schedule. In the fourth year of Shunzhi, his wind disease worsened, and it was inconvenient to bow down, and finally died in the seventh year of Shunzhi due to a horse fall accident.
Dolgon's series of maladministrations also inspired the Han Chinese to revolt, creating a destabilizing factor for the Qing dynasty's foothold. The ease of shaving hair and the policy of allowing the people to be plundered as slaves sparked discontent among the Han Chinese. The law on fugitives is even more stringent, and displaced people have nowhere to escape, leading to social unrest. These factors may have exacerbated the internal and external problems of the Qing dynasty after Dorgon's death.
The prosperity of the Qing Dynasty was finally realized during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, when the world was unified, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the society gradually stabilized. Although Dolgon played an important role in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, he was unable to achieve a prosperous era due to various difficulties and maladministrations. His regency had both a positive impact on the development of the Qing Dynasty and brought a series of problems, becoming a chapter in the history of the Qing Dynasty that cannot be ignored.
During Dorgon's time, he played a key role in the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, becoming regent in the early years of the Qing Dynasty. The article elaborates on Dorgon's policies and measures during his accession to the Central Plains, his support for Emperor Shunzhi's accession to the throne, and his regency. This period played a positive role in the establishment and consolidation of the Qing Dynasty. However, Dorgon also faced a series of challenges and dilemmas, especially with regard to some of the policies he pursued.
Dolgon's political actions, especially the promotion of the New Deal and the alleviation of the burden of the common people during the Ming and Qing dynasties, show his efforts for the great cause of the country. The promulgation of a series of reduction and exemption policies, including exemption of salaries and expulsion of salaries, has lightened the burden on the people and enabled the society to gradually stabilize. He struck ** and conducted the selection of the imperial examination**, showing his determination and wisdom in governing the country. These measures had a positive impact on the Qing Dynasty gaining a firm foothold and unifying the country in the early days.
However, some of Dorgon's policies also caused social unrest and revolt to a certain extent. In particular, the policy of shaving hair and making it easy to wear clothes, although it was intended to consolidate Manchurian rule, led to resentment and revolt among the Han Chinese. The article mentions that behind the Han people's rebellion, it reflects the difficulties and challenges encountered by Dolgon in the process of unifying the nation. This contradiction shows that although Dorgon played a key role in the process of taking over the Central Plains, some of the policies he adopted also raised certain problems in practice.
In addition, Dolgon's bias and maladministration are also revealed in the article. Policies such as allowing the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners to loot the Han people as slaves and implementing the fugitive law deepened the Han people's dissatisfaction and antipathy towards the Qing Dynasty. These malpractices not only weakened the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains, but also laid the groundwork for the subsequent social upheaval. The detailed description of these policies gives the reader a deeper understanding of the complex situation of the Dolgon era.
Finally, the article points out that Dorgon's death and a number of factors prevented him from achieving a prosperous life. Although he played a key role in the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, he failed to realize his ideals due to various difficulties and policy deviations. This analysis provides a strong basis for understanding the historical process of the early Qing Dynasty, as well as the role and limitations of Dolgon's role in it.
