Fifteen years passed like this in a flash. During these more than ten years, Dorgon was busy fighting for the Qing Dynasty in the north and south;
When he was ten years old, he had Fujin and three side Fujins.
Being so busy all day long, naturally I seldom think about my mother. I only try to avoid drinking alcohol within ten days before and after her death anniversary.
When Luotuo mentioned this today, the past fifteen years ago couldn't help but flooded into his mind again.
I vaguely remember that it was the eleventh year of destiny. Dorgon was only fourteen years old at the time. The old fool King Nurhaci went to attack Ningyuan but failed, and was bombarded by Yuan Chonghuan. He suffered heavy losses in men and horses. He fell ill on the way before returning to Shengjing.
Died on a boat on the Hun River.
At that time, the most favored concubine Uranala Abahai, who had been with the old fool King Nurhaci for more than 20 years, was the biological mother of the three brothers Azig, Dorgon and Duduo.
At that time, Abahai believed that his three sons shared the Zhengbai and Xiangbai banners, and that he himself was the eldest concubine of King Laohan and had a respected status, so he wanted to take advantage of being by Nurhachi's side at the end.
They fabricated King Lao Han's last words, namely, "Dorgon will succeed him, and he will assist the government on behalf of Shan."
It's a pity that the thirty-seven-year-old Queen Mother of the Jin Dynasty was still one step ahead of the thirty-five-year-old Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji didn't pay attention to the old man's will in Abahai's hands. He secretly joined forces with Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Amin and other four beile, led his troops into Abahai's harem, and also took out a copy.
The last words of King Lao Han were: "When I die, I will make him die."
Under the coercion of their four great Beile, Abahai had no choice but to pray to the four Beile to treat his young sons Dorgon and Duduo well, and then agreed to be buried as ordered by the late emperor.
In fact, Huang Taiji, who is as cunning as a fox, knows very well that as long as Abahai is killed, the forces that have the best chance of competing with him for the throne will lose their backbone, which can not only contain Daishan, but also control her.
three sons.
Since then, Dorgon has been holding back. He served Huang Taiji carefully, and never dared to reveal the slightest thought for his mother in front of outsiders, for fear of spreading it to Huang Taiji's ears.
However, in the first two or three years, he cried several times in secret, and often dreamed of his mother when he was sleeping at night. However, as time went by, and as he gradually became favored by Huang Taiji, his affairs became more and more difficult.
The more I visit, the more I miss my mother.
At this time, the food was also served, and Dorgon simply ate the food, but for some reason, he thought of Huang Taiji's recent physical discomfort, which often caused nosebleeds, and maybe he would have it in a few years...
He thought about it in his mind: Which beautiful concubine would Huang Taiji want to be buried?
Who will he want to succeed him as emperor?
Nowadays, the most favored person of Huang Taiji is the concubine Chen who lives in Guanju Palace. The concubine's name is Borjijit Hailanzhu. She only married Huang Taiji when she was twenty-six years old, but she still has Huang Taiji's favor and love.
, its beautiful name can be seen from this.
Concubine Chen Hailanzhu gave birth to a son when she was ten years old in Chongzhen. Huang Taiji wanted to make this son his heir, but unfortunately he died before he was one year old and did not even have time to give him a name.
After the death of her son, Hai Lanzhu's health deteriorated along with her mood. It was precisely because Huang Taiji was worried about Concubine Chen's health that he stayed in Shengjing and did not go to the front line of Songjin to direct the battle.
Although Huang Taiji had some affection for his children, he was not an infatuated fool who only loved beauties and not the country. Although he was always thinking about Concubine Chen Hailanzhu in his heart, he was also always concerned about the Songjin War.
Dorgon didn't think much about it, he just felt that these things were too slim!
However, he still did not want Huang Taiji's eldest son, Prince Heshuosu Hauge, to inherit the throne of Khan in the future. If Hauge really succeeded to the throne of Qing Khan, his situation would probably be very dangerous.
Suddenly, the shadow of Zhuang Concubine Borjit Bumbutai appeared in front of his eyes, and a faint smile appeared from the corner of his eyes.
Although Bumubutai is not as charming as Hailanzhu, she is still very beautiful and looks very dignified, with infinite affection in her eyes.
Huang Taiji canonized the concubines of the Five Chongde Palaces, also known as the Five Great Fortunes. Among them, Hailanzhu and Bumubutai are biological sisters. The first queen of Qingning Palace is Horqin Borjiji, also known as the King of Fortune.
Te Zhezhe is their biological aunt. This relationship is a bit messy!
…………
Since late July, Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty has focused all his attention on the Songjin battlefield.
He personally read the military reports sent from the Songjin front line almost every day. He was very concerned about the situation of Ming reinforcements, especially after the reports a few days ago that Ming reinforcements appeared near Songshan City, he became even more concerned.
?However, Huang Taiji was not in a hurry to reinforce the Jinzhou battlefield. He was still waiting, quietly waiting for the army of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, to march into Songjin.
At this moment, in the city of Shengjing, there is an atmosphere of tension hidden under the surface calm. Every day, messengers with their secret intentions ride out from the city of Shengjing at night or at dawn, and go to various parts of Liaodong and Mongolia to mobilize troops.
Horse food and grass.?
?After Huang Taiji took over the throne, in order to get rid of the control of the four major Baylors and the banner owners on the government, he appointed a large number of energetic young talents, and used them to gradually eclipse the older generation of Manchu nobles who led the army to fight.
Now, almost all the generals in the court and the banners have been replaced by young nobles, from princes and princes to Beile and Beizi, from Gushan, Meile, Jiala to Niulu, Boshiku and so on.
These young aristocratic generals were both respectful and loyal to Huang Taiji. No one dared to conceal the truth from him on major matters. Even if they occasionally concealed small things, they were often reported afterward. Huang Taiji would punish him according to the severity.
He always makes clear rewards and punishments, making people convinced.
In fact, Huang Taiji admired Dorgon's younger brother very much. Whether it was his talent in governing the country or his ability to lead troops in combat, he was very prominent among the younger generation of the Qing Dynasty.
A few months ago, because he led his troops to stay far away from Jinzhou, he demoted Dorgon to the county king. He only punished him for his ineffective siege of Jinzhou. He originally planned to recover after seeing some achievements in the Jinzhou war in the future.
Dorgon's princely title.
Huang Taiji paid special attention to the battle of Jinzhou. He planned for several years and besieged the city of Jinzhou for more than a year. He also invested almost half of the country's men there.
He hoped that the battle in Jinzhou could be won according to his ideas, defeating the reinforcements coming from the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, and clearing the way for the next step to march south of the Great Wall to seize the Ming Dynasty.
If he could capture Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, and Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, alive, and force them to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, that would be even more satisfying for him.?
?Recently, due to the large-scale rescue of Jinzhou by the Ming army, it is rumored that the border troops from various parts of the Ming Dynasty have gathered in Ningyuan and will march to the front line of Jinzhou in the near future, which caused quite a shock in Shengjing City.
There are many rumors among the people, and they all say how powerful the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty were, and grain ships kept coming day and night. From Ningyuan to Tashan, and then to Xingshan, grain and grass stacks were piled up like mountains.
They also said that the commander-in-chief of the Southern Dynasty, Hong Chengchou, was a ruthless man. He failed to unite the border troops in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty to suppress bandits. Even the giant bandit King Li Chuang was killed by him. What was even more rare was that he was not alive.
He has a strategy in his chest and a heart as solid as stone. He has won the trust of the emperor of the Southern Dynasties and the love of all the generals. He should not be taken lightly.
At the same time, among the courtiers, some Manchu and Han officials were worried that if Hong Chengchou relieved Jinzhou this time, the morale of the Ming army would be high. From then on, the area west of the Liao River would probably be unrest everywhere.
Although Huang Taiji lived in the palace, he had many eyes and ears outside, so he was very aware of the worries and rumors of the subjects in Shengjing.
One time when he went to court, he said to the ministers: "What I am worried about is not that Hong Chengchou will lead hundreds of thousands of Southern Dynasty reinforcements to save Jin, but I am more worried that he will not send all his troops.
If he brings all his men and horses to Jinzhou City, we can win a battle, and the Southern Dynasty will no longer be able to send troops to fight with me outside the pass, and even the interior of the pass will be empty and powerless, allowing me to hire the Qing cavalry!"?
Huang Taiji's confident words were by no means simply encouraging the ministers in the court, but indeed expressed his true thoughts in his heart.
This kind of spirit of his was formed in long-term wars and victories. He fought beside the old fool King Nurhachi when he was a teenager. Especially since he inherited the throne at the age of thirty-six, he has been constantly exploring frontiers.
Soil, create a great cause, win one victory after another.
The old fool king Nurhachi started the rebellion with thirteen pairs of armors. With a lifetime of bloody battles, he brought together the small tribes in Liaodong and created a kingdom with strong military strength.
Huang Taiji not only inherited and carried forward the outstanding characteristics of the old slave Nurhaci, but also became more mature in both political and military aspects. He continued to recruit and re-employ Han people to help him complete the founding of the country, and actively absorbed the highly developed Han feudal culture as his
Used.
He was even more far-sighted than the old slave Nurhachi. Not only did he stop the policy of indiscriminate killing of Han people, he also gave the Han people hope to survive in Liaodong and developed the productivity of the Jurchens in Liaodong.
During his reign, the Jianzhou Jurchens had become the masters of the land of Liaodong. They enslaved other Jurchen tribes and Han people, settled in the Liaohe River Basin, and became an agricultural economy. At the same time, they also developed various wars and life.
Required handicrafts, including making cannons, etc.
Of course, the development of farming and handicrafts was inseparable from the large number of Han slaves who were captured, robbed, and surrendered. Their obedience, diligence, and wisdom, as well as their knowledge and experience in agricultural production played an important role, and they became completely free labor.
The slave establishment during Nurhachi's reign was still at the end of slavery and was beginning to transform into a feudal social system, but it was Huang Taiji, the current Qing emperor, who truly completed this transformation.
At the same time, in terms of military affairs, it was during his reign that Jiannucai completely conquered and unified all Mongolian tribes. Even Mongolia, a foreign vassal, expressed its surrender. He even changed the title of Jurchens to Manchurians.
After unifying Liaodong and conquering Mongolia, he sent troops to invade North Korea, forcing North Korea to break away from its vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and eventually became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, providing troops and food for the Qing Dynasty to support its confrontation and invasion of the Ming Dynasty.
It was only then that the Qing Dynasty completely eliminated the worries from Mongolia and Korea, and was able to further recruit their troops and resources to concentrate on dealing with the Ming Empire.
The success of the Qing Dynasty during the reign of Huang Taiji was as he boasted: "From the northeastern seaboard to the northwest seashore, there is a land where dogs make deer, and a land where black foxes and sables are produced. There is no farming, only fishing and hunting."
According to the custom of life, the Erut tribe, as well as the source of the Onan River, and the countries far and near, are all surrendering."
From then on, the Qing Dynasty became the most powerful enemy of the Ming Dynasty. It was so powerful that it could not stop it despite wantonly looting around the capital.
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty finally became the co-owner of the Manchus and Mongols, and also indirectly ruled the Kingdom of Korea. Under Huang Taiji's rule, the Qing Dynasty was growing further, and its threat to the Ming Empire was even greater than that of rogue bandits.
Now, Huang Taiji is in the prime of his fifties. Although his body has become slightly fatter, he looks graceful and steady in appearance. His energy is also very strong, his face is red and his eyes are bright. Although he is only fifty years old,
Ten sons and fourteen daughters were born.
However, Huang Taiji had hidden illnesses. He sometimes had chest tightness, dizziness and headaches, and often shed a lot of nosebleeds. According to historical records, he suffered from epistaxis. Zhang Cheng guessed that he probably also suffered from high blood pressure and other heart diseases.
Diseases of the vascular system.
Now, it is at the most glorious moment of his hegemony in his life. As long as he defeats the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of reinforcements under Jinzhou City, he can take advantage of the situation to seize Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and even Shanhaiguan, and then capture the entire Ming Dynasty.
Because of his understanding of the Ming Dynasty and his military confidence in the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, he showed full confidence and complacency in both actions and conversations.?
?When he received the urgent report from Jinzhou from Dorgon and Haoge, he learned that Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, personally led ten general military officers and had led an army of 170,000 to 80,000 to the Songshan area.
And as soon as the battle began, Hong Chengchou pressed forward with all his troops, killing and wounding more than ten thousand armored warriors of the Qing army. Two Gushan Ezhen were killed in the battle, and even King Gongshun was wounded in the battle.
Rufeng Mountain, Songshan Ridge and other places in the south of Jinzhou City are all occupied by the Ming army, which is attacking the Qing defense line outside Jinzhou City day and night. Huang Taiji believes that the time has come. If he does not go to command everything in person, I am afraid Dorgon and others will suffer losses, or even
The Jinzhou defense line will also be breached by the Ming army.
He immediately decided that on August 11, he would personally lead the 30,000 troops newly summoned to Shengjing and set off for the Jinzhou front line at starry night.?
?At this moment, an accident occurred, making this decision uncertain!
