In the 25th year of Wanli, Fan Wencheng was born in Liaodong. When he was young, he was smart and eager to learn. In the forty-third year of Wanli, he was a scholar with his brother Fan Wen in Shenyang County. In the late Ming Dynasty, political corruption made Fan Wencheng feel unable to be reused by the Ming court. So in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, when the late Jin cavalry was in Fushun, he and his brother Fan Wen volunteered and took refuge in the late Jin. Because Fan Wencheng is quite resourceful, he often goes out with Nurhachi and participates in command and planning.
After Nurhachi's death, Qing Taizong succeeded to the throne. At this time, Fan Wencheng was just an ordinary clerk, working as a learning officer in the Huang Taiji Literature Museum, with no formal title. Later, because I went out with the army, I was able to give advice and go to the front. Because of his outstanding military achievements, he was finally awarded a guerrilla position.
During Fan Wencheng's reign in Tiancong, besides giving advice, his greatest achievement was about surrender. When Huang Taiji led his troops to attack the Daling River, he successfully persuaded one of the western hills of Daling River City.
In the seventh year of Tiancong, Chen was ordered by Huang Taiji to explore and surrender the Ming generals Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming who wanted to defect. Later, Fan Wencheng was reused by Huang Taiji and became a very important civil servant in the DPRK.
After Huang Taiji established the Qing Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty changed to Chongde, the museum was changed to the Internal History Academy, the Internal Senate and the Internal Reference Hong Wen Academy, also known as the Internal Reference Third Academy. Fan Wencheng was appointed as a college student of the Secretary College of the Ministry of Interior. He is in charge of all ceremonies, including letters from various departments, letters from foreign exchanges, letters from civil and military officials, temple letters, ceremonies and letters from civil and military officials, etc. Fan Wencheng officially participated in state affairs. He was grateful and conscientious, and successively abolished the sitting-in-a-seat method and established a ministerial system.
In the eighth year of Chongde, Huang Taiji died, and Baylor ministers unanimously agreed to establish Fu Lin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, as emperor, with Zheng Qinwang Girallang and Prince Dourgen of Switzerland as assistants to manage state affairs. When the political struggle was so serious and the country was in turmoil, Fan Wencheng met something that made him very ashamed. That is, Wang Duoduo of Yu County saw that Fan Wencheng's wife was very beautiful, so he had other ideas. Later, although this matter was solved smoothly, Fan Wencheng was always worried that Duoduo would retaliate afterwards.
In the first year of Shunzhi, Fan Wencheng wrote to the Regent, demanding that he immediately send troops to cut down the Ming Dynasty and seize the world. In view of this national event, Fan Wencheng formulated in detail the basic principles and policies for the Qing Dynasty to seize the Central Plains, which played a great role in the smooth entry of the Qing army into the Central Plains in the future.
When the Qing army launched a general attack, the peasant army in Li Zicheng had already breached Peiping. Although the peasant army has a bad reputation, its combat effectiveness is not weak. Dourgen and others thought that they had failed to attack the Ming capital three times. Now that Li Zicheng and others have taken the lead in Beijing, is it necessary for the Qing army to move on? In the face of such a situation, Fan Wencheng made it clear that the Qing army would defeat the peasant army in Li Zicheng and win by a wide margin. After Fan Wencheng's analysis, Dourgen was determined to continue attacking the Ming Dynasty.
Later, when the two armies fought, Dourgen won a great victory and Li Zicheng was defeated. The Qing army successfully opened the gate of the Forbidden City and made Beijing its capital, thus realizing the ambition since Nurhachi. And there, absolutely without Fan Wencheng's role.
When the Qing Dynasty entered Beijing, Beijing was in chaos because of the war. Fan Wencheng worked hard day and night to help govern the country. In the next season, he got rid of the disadvantages, shared the benefits with the people, won the hearts of the people, and worked hard for the founding of the country. The Qing army was able to gain a foothold in Beijing so quickly because of Fan Wencheng's painstaking efforts.
After entering the Central Plains, Dourgen's desire for power exploded, and internal disputes in the imperial court continued. At this time, Fan Wencheng chose to resign and leave, and was resented by Dourgen. After a series of dismissal and reinstatement, after the death of Dourgen, the emperor shunzhi ruled the country, and Fan Wencheng was promoted to knighthood and reinstated as a first-class childe. He was awarded the position of minister of state and served as the president of Taizong Records. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, Jia Shaobao was also a Prince Taibao. It didn't take long for Fan Wencheng to resign due to illness.
After five years of Kangxi and four dynasties, Fan Wencheng finally died at the age of 70. Emperor Kangxi personally wrote a eulogy for him, and was buried in Luohongshan, Huairou County, Hebei Province. posthumous title went to "Wensu". ?
