At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the country was also in chaos, the Jurchen tribe at that time was very powerful, and at this time there was a figure who unified the Jurchens, this person was Nurhaci, and established the Houjin. Under the rule of Nurhaci, the strength of Houjin was not very strong, but it sowed a deep seed for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, originally Houjin was not threatened by the Ming Dynasty, but after Huang Taiji became the Khan, he gradually made Houjin move towards prosperity and strength, and Huang Taiji was still a particularly ambitious person, he made some changes to houjin that was not very good, and then made Houjin revitalized and became more and more powerful.
The Houjin that Huang Taiji received from Nurhaci was in danger, so in the face of this situation, Huang Taiji immediately made some changes to Houjin, mainly two changes, the first thing was to gradually feudalize Houjin, we all know that a significant feature of feudalization is that the emperor is called emperor, so that the power of the state is concentrated in the hands of one person, and Huang Taiji has been working hard to do this, and then consolidated the unity of Houjin, because all the power of Houjin is concentrated in his hands. Saved the situation in which Houjin was torn apart. The second thing is that Huang Taiji advocated that the Jurchens and the Han people must be treated equally, although he himself is a Jurchen, but after all, there are still more Han People, so it is still necessary to rely on the Han people to develop production, so that the entire Houjin can develop steadily.
After the death of Emperor Taiji, he faced a problem, that is, who would inherit his position, at this time there was a key figure Daishan, because his son of Emperor Taiji could successfully succeed to the throne, in fact, at that time, Emperor Taiji could succeed to the throne because of his support, originally Daishan could inherit the throne, but he still gave the throne to his eighth brother Emperor Taiji, and finally because his son of Emperor Taiji could continue to be called emperor. In fact, Daishan followed his father Nurhaci to the battlefield to kill the enemy when he was very young, so Nurhaci was very optimistic about his son, so after Tianzi made a mistake, the first candidate for prince that Nurhaci thought of was Daishan. However, after Daishan became the crown prince, a great change occurred, and he abused his son, and he also had an affair with his father's concubine, which made Nurhaci very angry when he knew about it, and he directly deposed his prince. Then Daizen realized his problem, so he began to make a difference.
At that time, when Nurhaci died, Daishan should be the best candidate, but Daishan felt that Emperor Taiji was more capable of becoming emperor, because the crown prince had already shown his strength and was very good at using power techniques, and there were many people in the dynasty at that time who supported Emperor Taiji, so Daishan had to choose to support Emperor Taiji to succeed to the throne, and then he had always been loyal to Emperor Taiji. Later, when Emperor Taiji died, Daishan supported Emperor Taiji's son Fu Lin to succeed to the throne at the suggestion of Dolgun, but after Fu Lin succeeded to the throne, it was Dolgun who took power, so Daishan was always excluded, and later after so many struggles, he also gave up these things to win profits and chose to go into hiding.
