In ancient China, all the emperors who had great deeds had superior energy and could control many wives and concubines. Emperor Taiji is also such an emperor. Huang Taiji was full of energy throughout his life, with many wives and concubines, and he was inseparable from his father Nurhaci. How many wives and concubines Emperor Taiji married in his lifetime is not accurately recorded, and it is impossible to verify it at present. But to be sure, there are plenty. However, the wives and concubines who bore him children are well documented. At present, historians have counted as many as 15 wives and concubines who have given birth to children to Emperor Taiji.
Emperor Taiji's 15 wives and concubines were Manchus, Mongols, and Koreans, but the mongols were the most numerous. At that time, in order to firmly control the Mongols, Houjin used force to conquer on the one hand, and on the other hand, used a policy of peace and pro-japanese to win over. Emperor Taiji married the children of a number of Mongolian nobles, and at the same time, he also married the children of the Houjin nobles to Mongolia, and the two sides formed a relationship of water and milk.
