Chapter 70
Wu Sangui said: "It is acceptable to change clothes, but the body, hair and skin are affected by their parents, so they dare not hurt them, and my parents will never shave their hair."
Dorgon laughed: "Changbo, do you think you still have any choice? Shanhaiguan City and Jiumenkou Pass have been controlled by our Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers. You can't help shaving your hair or not!"
The man was under the eaves and had to bow his head. Although Wu Sangui was reluctant, what else could he do at this time? Shanhaiguanguan City was completely controlled by the Qing army, and the Eight Banners soldiers' swords were already placed on their necks.
Dorgon's attitude was very tough: he kept his head but not his hair, he kept his hair but not his head! If he didn't shave his hair, he would lose his head. Whether he kept his hair or his head, Wu Sangui of course chose to keep his head.
"Prince, I am willing to shave my hair!" Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and finally knelt down.
Dorgon laughed to the sky, Hong Chengchou next to him walked forward and helped Wu Sangui up: "Prince Pingxi, you will be like a slave in the future. We are all good slaves of the Qing Dynasty! Remember, we will be bannermen in the future, and when we enter the banner, we will all call ourselves slaves when we see the Regent or the Emperor. This is why they regard us as our own people, so that we can call ourselves slaves. If they are ordinary green camp dogs, they will not have the qualification to call themselves slaves at all! You should feel honored, your prince."
"Governor Hong, ah..." Wu Sangui sighed.
Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Prince, at first, the emperor asked the slave to shave his hair, and the slave was as unwilling as you, but later he became completely connected. After shave his hair, they treated us as their own people. After thinking about it, they felt relieved."
Then, Hong Chengchou explained to Wu Sangui some changes in the title after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty: when he saw the emperor, he would respect him as the emperor and call himself a slave; when he saw the regent, he would call himself a prince or master, and call himself a slave; when he saw the Manchu officials, he would respect him as the master and call himself a slave; when he saw the Han officials, whether he was superior, the same or the subordinate, he would respect him as the master, and call himself this king or the old man...
The name Shangguan is called the master and calls himself a slave. This is the privilege of the bannermen. The Han people are not qualified to call the master of Manchu officials, but can only call him an adult, and they are not qualified to call themselves slaves. Common people call themselves a civilian, and lower-level officials call themselves a subordinate official. This has not changed from before.
Hong Chengchou continued, "It's better for our Qing Dynasty." The titles are much simpler. They are either masters or masters. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, there are different honorary titles, such as the Pavilion Master, Prime Minister, Supervisor, Futai, Dushi, and a lot of military officials. The superior officials are called subordinates, and they should call themselves a certain or a name. In our Qing Dynasty, there will be no mistakes if they call them without brains. How simple it is.
Wu Sangui was also very resistant to the changes in various titles. What kind of master and slave? Has he become the same as his own slave? This is too expensive! What else is there to call a master without any brains? Only his parents can call him master. The superior officials of the Ming Dynasty generally have a special title, and just call his subordinates by his font. However, as you follow the local customs, since you have become an official of the Qing Dynasty, you have to use their habits.
However, Dorgon did not treat Wu Sangui badly. In order to make Wu Sangui feel relieved, Dorgon proposed to betroth Huang Taiji's two-year-old daughter Ajige to Wu Sangui's four-year-old son Wu Yingxiong.
When Wu Sangui heard that his son would be the prince consort in the future, he quickly knelt down and thanked him.
It is said that when Da Yuer found out, she was so angry that she cursed Dorgon in her heart: Why don’t you betroth your daughter to Wu Sangui’s son, but instead think about the emperor’s daughter?
When Wu Sangui, wearing a foam nailed cotton armor and a lightning rod helmet, returned to his camp, all the generals and servants were stunned.
"Military Gate, why have you changed your outfit?" Gao Dejie stepped forward and asked.
"Master, why have you put on the Tartars' clothes?" Wu Guogui also stepped forward and said.
"Since we have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, we can't still wear our Ming army uniforms, right?" Wu Sangui sighed helplessly, took off the lightning rod helmet on his head, revealing a big, naked head, and a rat-tailed braid hanging from behind.
"Ah?" Everyone screamed.
Wu Sangui sighed: "My brothers, I'm sorry to you! You all will have to shave your hair and change your clothes like me in the future!"
"I would rather die than shave my hair!" Wu Guogui, Gao Dejie, Fang Guangchen and others shouted in unison.
Wu Sangui looked at Wu Guogui and Gao Dejie: "You are my Guanning Army. If you don't shave your hair, your master will be worried about us. You can't help you. Wu will sorry to you." Then he turned his head to look at Fang Guangchen: "Mr. Fang is a scholar. You can't shave your hair, but Mr. Fang can't stay with me. You'd better go back to the south by yourself."
Fang Guangchen saluted Wu Sangui helplessly: "Since that's the case, the student will say goodbye!"
Liu Xuanchu also stood up and saluted and said goodbye: "Students say goodbye!"
Wu Sangui watched his two masters leave, then turned to look at his generals: "Brothers, we are all under the eaves, and we have to bow our heads. The master has already said, "Don't leave your hair without leaving your head, and your head without leaving your hair. Can't the brothers still hold on?"
Wu Guogui, Gao Dejie and others burst into tears: "The general, the general, would rather die than shave his hair than shave his hair. The body and skin of his parents dare not be damaged! Shaving the Tartars' hair is to insult the ancestors! How can we enter the ancestral tomb in a hundred years from now?"
At this moment, Hong Chengchou, dressed in Qing official uniform, walked in: "Prince Pingxi, can you guys be willing to shave your hair?"
Wu Sangui spread his hands helplessly: "Sir Hong, look at them, they are not willing to shave their hair, and I dare not force my brothers."
Hong Chengchou took off the official hat from his head, revealing his big bald head and the rat tail of the money behind him: "Brothers, I am the same as you at the beginning, and I will never shave my hair. But the master said, "Don't leave my hair, and I will not leave my hair, so please think carefully. Which is more important, the guy who eats on his neck or the hair on his forehead? After shaving his hair, his life is still there; if the guy who eats, he will lose everything."
Wu Guogui was promoted by Wu Sangui's confidant servants, so he naturally followed the generals. On the one hand, it was a death threat from the Qing army, and on the other hand, it was a shaved head. What else could it do if the head was shaved? But Gao Dejiede's group of generals who were not from servants were still unhappy, and they really didn't want to shave their heads.
"General Hong..." Gao Dejie just called out.
"Master, I'm not your supervisor now!" Hong Chengchou interrupted Gao Dejie's words, "Why did the Manchu masters ask you to shave your heads, but not let other Han people shave their heads? That's because they treat you as their own people! If other Han people want to shave the same hairstyle as the Manchu masters, they won't let you! This is a shiny thing on your face."
It's so shameless! Gao Dejie muttered in his heart. He originally wanted to continue fighting, but in the end he was unwilling to give up his life in vain, so he had to agree.
In the original time and space, Wu Sangui later launched an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Gao Dejie was the most powerful general who killed the Qing army. Although he was forced to shave his hair now, it did not mean that he had let go of his inner hatred, but buried hatred and took revenge when he had the chance. So later he defeated the Qing army many times and beheaded countless times.
After the hair shaving order was conveyed in the Guanning army, it caused a stir in the army.
On the school ground, the Guanning soldiers stood in the open ground, and the crowd was clamoring, complaining and cursing, making Wu Sangui standing on the stage almost unable to hold on to his face.
At this moment, a large group of elite eight banners holding swords and guns rushed into the school ground, surrounding the Guanning Army.
Looking at the swords and guns aimed at him, the noisy Guanning soldiers had to calm down.
