The Qing Dynasty had many generals who could fight good wars, and for those who made great achievements, they would be crowned as the King of iron hats.
Among them, the Qing Dynasty had a total of eight iron hat kings, and this title could be inherited like a knighthood. Duo Duo, the founding hero of the Qing Dynasty, was the first person to be named the King of the Iron Hat, and he was also recognized as the god of war by the workers of the Qing Dynasty.
Duo Duo was originally a prince, he led his subordinates to fight everywhere, made indelible contributions to the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and he was known as the most founding general. He led his soldiers to capture Hong Chengyu and defeat Li Zicheng, completely destroying the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
What is even more exaggerated is that the entire Jiangnan of the Qing Dynasty was laid by him, and he had outstanding military achievements in his life and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao Temple after his death.
1. Nurhaci's concubine
The dignity and inferiority of the elderly and the young were the most important in ancient times, and if it was a concubine, it had the opportunity to inherit the throne, and the concubine was very different from the concubine.
It is precisely because of the difference between concubines and concubines that it will cause a lot of harem battles, although the status of concubines is low, but since they were born in the royal family, they have the qualifications to inherit.
Therefore, shuzi's attempt to seize the throne also led to turbulence in the court.
As a descendant of the Jurchens, Nurhaci was born brave and warlike, and had a high prestige in his own tribe. Nurhaci had a total of fifteen sons, of whom four were concubines, and these four concubines were also the most loved by Nurhaci.
Among them, Dodo was his youngest concubine, who was pampered and attracted much attention from birth.
The custom of the Jurchens is that the youngest concubine has the opportunity to inherit the family business, and is called the child of the Shou Stove, so that he can keep his own family business.
And Dodo is not only the youngest of the concubines, but also the oldest of all the children,
Therefore, it is loved by Nurhaci. From an early age, his status in the family was the highest, and other children had to give him three points of courtesy.
Nurhaci originally made his eldest son the crown prince, but because the prince was a dou who could not support the wall, he had to abolish the cruel prince, and in order not to arouse the hearts of the brothers, he decided to adopt the eight princes' deliberation system.
That is, a total of eight princes were selected to have the right to participate in politics, and they balanced each other, there was no distinction between princes, and their talents were displayed in the court.
At that time, Dodo was only seven years old, and he received such an honor.
Moreover, he was also named the Prince of Heshuo, although his status did not reach the highest, but it was second only to Baylor and Azig, when he was only seven years old, such a status was not achieved by many of his imperial brothers, and he gained a very high political status at a young age, which shows his degree of favor.
2. Capture of Li Zicheng
The pampering that Dodo received when he was young was something he could never forget in his lifetime, but it did not last long, because he lost the favor of his parents when he was thirteen years old.
The death of his parents due to illness hit Dodo hard. At that time, he was only thirteen years old, and after the death of his father and mother, Huang Taiji inherited the throne, and Huang Taiji was not very good to Duoduo, and even demoted his position.
Because of a defeat on the battlefield, Emperor Taiji demoted him to Baylor and fined him for one year, not allowing him to participate in politics and participating in the management of political affairs.
During this time, because the death of his father and mother, Dodo was too sad, so he gradually lost power politically.
Later, Huang Taiji's ambitions gradually became larger, and he set his sights on the Central Plains and began to expand outward.
Emperor Taiji himself was brave enough to lead his soldiers all the way south, especially in the Battle of Songjin at that time, because the Qing army was successful and captured Li Zicheng, and it was Duoduo who made great contributions to it.
The battle was originally a very fierce battle, but with Wu Sangui's surrender, Li Zicheng was too late to deal with it
。
Wu Sangui's troops and those led by Dolgun approached the place where Li Zicheng was guarding, and Duoduo, who was his deputy at the time, led his troops around Li Zicheng's body in order to prevent them from escaping. Dorgon's troops shouted in the front, and Li Zicheng fled in a hurry, and the Qing army easily occupied the city.
Later, Li Zicheng met Duo Duo in the process of escaping, and was captured alive by Duo Duo
Since then, because Ofdo has made military achievements, Dodo has restored his original title and has been made a prince, and his status has been improved, because he has received a lot of honors in killing the enemy on the battlefield.
So Emperor Taiji also appointed him a general and sent him to fight everywhere.
Dordor's record has always been very good, breaking through many capitals, and was later appointed as a general of the Dingguo, on a par with Dorgon.
3. The Great Qing God of War
After the capture of Li Zicheng, Emperor Taiji entered Beijing and attacked the Central Plains.
After the capital was beijing, Emperor Taiji began to deploy the war strategy after that, and Duoduo, as the commander of the large army, began the life of the southern conquest and the northern war. The large army led by Duo Duo went south and was resisted by a group of militiamen outside Tongguan, but at that time, Li Zicheng's soldiers were already returning to the light and did not have much combat effectiveness.
Duo Duo quickly broke this group of militias, and pursued them with victory, and won a complete victory, and soon attacked Li Zicheng's base camp in the south. Dodo goes to a city every time,
He will be the first to appease the people, to give the greatest comfort to the people who have been hurt by the war,
It is enough to see that Dodo is not only a commander-in-chief, but also a very strategic general.
DuoDuo also continued to take advantage of the victory to pursue, successively capturing the major capitals south of the Yangtze River, including Yangzhou Zhenjiang and other southern capitals. Duoduo and his party marched to Nanjing, and at this time the general who guarded Nanjing was already frightened by Duoduo's morale and was defeated without a fight.
Duo Duo subdued many soldiers in Nanjing, entered Nanjing as a victor, and has since become the god of war in Jiangnan.
The significance of the conquest of Nanjing was great, which meant that the war in the whole south could be brought to an end, and the whole south was basically fought by Duoduo
So at the end of the war, Emperor Taiji made him the Prince of Yu and gave him countless gold and silver treasures as rewards. Later, in order to reward him, he also made Duo Duo a great general of Yang Wei and became the god of war who founded the Qing Dynasty.
summary
Although Dodo was Nurhaci's concubine, he had no ambition to compete for the throne.
After he had a very high military achievement, he did not take credit for it, and he was very low-key. He did not care at all about the political affairs of the court, but only knew how to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and it was precisely because of this that he kept the peace of his children and grandchildren.
However, Dodo died of smallpox infection when he was in his thirties, and this generation of General Xiao Yong lost to smallpox, because his medical skills were not good at that time, so he did not rescue Dodo, and Dodo was stripped of his title after his death because of the involvement of his descendants
It was not until the Qianlong period that he was restored to the status of Prince of Yu and was given the qualification to enjoy the Taimiao Temple.
