The establishment of the Qing Dynasty was due to the first few rulers, although they were not the founding emperors, but a foreign regime was able to replace the Central Plains Dynasty, these people's abilities are extraordinary, such as Huang Taiji, who was one of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, but his brothers were also very good, especially Dolgun, who became the regent after the death of Emperor Taiji, so it seems that both are very good politicians.
The advantage of Huang Taiji is obvious, when Dorgon was born, he had become a father, even a son, in these years he made a lot of merit, although his mother died early, but he did not have too many childhood shadows, the royal family did not value affection too much, other princes lost their mothers, there was not much sadness, under the guidance of his father Nurhaci, grew into an excellent prince, with a lot of political experience. Because his grandfather's tribe did not have a good relationship with his father's tribe, his father destroyed his grandfather's tribe, and Huang Taiji, who grew up in such an environment, received special instruction from his father and king, and also made his father think that he was one of the qualified heirs.
After Dorgon was born, his parents were alive, but his parents loved his younger brother Dorgon even more, because this brother was the youngest, but the teaching and love that Dorgon should have was never lacking, and although the father doted on the younger son, the father knew that Dorgon had extraordinary wisdom and trained him to become a qualified politician. But when he was fourteen, his father died, and his mother was forced to die by the size of his own family, which was really unbearable for a teenager, and what was worse was that he had no power for the time being and could only live in someone else's house.
But the life under the fence was not good, he suffered all the insults, but he endured them, but his brother could not stand the insults, and all day long he was in trouble, so Dorgon could only devote his energy to taking care of his brother, and on several occasions his life could not be saved. Later, he was fostered in the Daishan family, perhaps the family did not bully them, but whenever Dorgon was alone, he was always vigilant, afraid of being caught in the wrong place by others.
Although everyone is the same brother, but the half-brother, plus the royal family is not a peaceful place, everyone is fighting for their own interests, so Dorgon will still be bullied by many people, Mang Gultai, Hauge and other people, naturally the emperor Taiji as one of the most powerful people, he will not be bullied less. But even in this dangerous situation, Dorgon survived with his own ability and wisdom, and he even developed his own power, until in the end even the Emperor Taiji could not do anything to him.
As the heir, why didn't he kill Dorgon in the first place? Without the protection of his parents, it was difficult for Dorgon alone to survive, but the far-sighted Nurhaci had already thought of this, in order to avoid cannibalism between brothers, he gave his son two powerful yellow flags, so that the Emperor Taiji could not kill them directly, and thought of finding their handle, and would always deal with them, but did not expect that Dorgon would be so cautious.
At that time, Dorgon was only a fourteen-year-old teenager, his father died, and his mother was forced to die alive, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, and also laid a psychological shadow for him, thinking that as long as he had power, he could live, so he later had greater ambitions.
He was always in danger, it was said that he would not sleep much, even when he slept, he would always stay awake, with a weapon at the bedside, always ready to kill the enemy or commit suicide, so tight a string, everything around him could not be easily believed, even if it was relatives, they only wanted to get rid of him, not to mention that there was a younger brother who needed protection, but even so, he never gave up, but persevered, relying on his own politics to successfully win power for himself and survive.
Dorgon's political ability was no less than that of his father, but such an excellent politician, he died on the hunting route in the north of Saibei, according to his position, was posthumously named "Qing Chengzong" by the Shunzhi Emperor at that time, perhaps he provoked the little emperor before his death, or perhaps the ambiguous relationship between him and Empress Xiaozhuang, two months later, the emperor stripped him of his title and dug his grave, so that he could not be at peace after his death. It was not until the later Qianlong Emperor rehabilitated him, restored his title as Prince rui, and also evaluated him as "the foundation of the country, the cause of unification, and the greatest merit.", in this evaluation, we can see the great merits of Dorgon's life, he was a key figure in the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, and an important figure in stabilizing national politics.
His residence is commonly known as the "Tomb of the Nine Kings", covering an area of 200,000 square meters, but his achievements are actually worth more, such an excellent politician, growing up from the danger, let the emperor Taiji jealous of a lifetime, if he can really make him an emperor, the fate of the Qing Dynasty may be a little different.
