In December of the ninth year of the Later Jin Dynasty (1635 AD), Emperor Taiji, who had been the sole ruler of the south for more than four years, decided to use the cold monk machine to sue the deceased Three Belle Mang Gurtai and Beledeg for rebellion, and dealt a devastating blow to the positive blue banner they all belonged to. This case involved a wide range of people, and most of the people who were executed were the only ones seen by Emperor Taiji during his seventeen-year reign. In this case, Huang Taiji not only punished Mang Gultai, who had been "violently killed" for several years, and the Derg brothers, who had just died, but also sentenced them to the punishment of digging graves and digging graves, and threw their bones into the wilderness for wild dogs to eat, while at the same time reducing all their heirs to commoners and stripping them of their clan status. This is not to be counted, because Mang Guertai's own sister, who is also the sister of Emperor Taiji, Mang Guzige, is involved in the case. Emperor Taiji was still angry after killing his children, and even cruelly tortured his sister.
Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge Fu jin was the daughter of Mang Guji, and the father's son of course responded, and just when Huang Taiji killed Mang Guji, Hauge also presented the head of his bloody wife to Huang Taiji for viewing.
The red flag lord Yue Chen and Hauge are joint brothers, their cousins marry one sister after another, but Yue Chen is an upright and righteous person, but he cannot but express something, so the clever man deliberately told the Emperor Taiji that he would also imitate Hauge's personal killing of his wife. Although the political means of the Emperor Taiji expressed his disagreement with Yue Zhen's killing of his wife, but this account he kept in mind, in the future Yue Zhen was repeatedly attacked by the Emperor Taiji, and his title was repeatedly reduced, although there were reasons for Yue Zhen's own, but this matter was indeed one of the important reasons.
Even so, Emperor Taiji did not spare his mother Meng guzhezhe, who had been buried with his father Khan Nurhachi for many years, and their brother and sister's biological mother, Fucha. Gundai. With the order of the Emperor Taiji, Hauge led his men to personally excavate his grandfather's Fuling tomb and planed out Fucha. The remains of Gundai, which were then discarded in the wilderness.
This incident occurred on the eve of Emperor Taijijian's claim to be emperor, and the reason why he took advantage of such a big operation was to crack down on dissident forces to consolidate his own power, and the other was to take advantage of the Zhenglan Banner, which he had long coveted with strong combat effectiveness, so as to firmly hold this force in his own hands.
So, what exactly prompted Emperor Taiji to do this heavy hand to Mang Guertai's three brothers and sisters? This has to start with the eight-flag system set up by Nurhaci.
The eight flags system, known as joint governance, is actually a decentralized power system, so Nurhaci has set up four big baylors and four small baylors to take charge of the flag affairs of each flag and are responsible to themselves. In Nurhaci's presence, given Nurhaci's authority, no one could shake his dominance.
At the beginning of the reign of Emperor Taiji, that is, the Khan, he was forced by this system of decentralization left by his father, so he had to sit in the south with the four people who pushed him to the throne, the Great Belle Daishan, the Second Belle Amin, and the Three Belle Mang Gurtai, and the Emperor Taiji at this time was named Great Khan, but in fact, he was only a banner lord.
In order to change this situation, Huang Taiji exhausted all means to use the power of the Two Red Flags and the Three Belles of the Great Belle Daishan in the fourth year of Tiancong (1630 AD), and at the same time united with the young Belle to get rid of his cousin Amin and imprison him to death. Amin's position as lord of the Blue Banner was given to his tamed brother Zilharang.
After cleaning up Amin, in view of the fact that Daishan had already fallen out of favor due to many mistakes in the Nurhaci era, and his sons Yue Chen, Sahalu and others were loyal supporters of Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji only made a small knock on Daishan, while focusing on Mang Gultai.
Mang gultai was the fifth son of Nurhaci, and he, along with Mangguji and Dege, was Nurha's second wife, Fucha. Born of the Gong Dynasty, because its status is far above that of the Emperor Taiji, the strength of the Zhenglan Banner it unifies is not comparable to the Zhengbai Banner of the Huang Taiji.
If not For Mangooltai's mother Fucha. The ambiguous relationship between Gundai and The Great Belle Daishan led to Nurha's anger and divorce of his wife, and Mang Gultai's hand blade of his mother, Mang Gultai definitely had the strength to compete with Emperor Taiji for the Khan's throne.
Because of the reason for killing his mother, since then, Mang Gurtai's position in the Later Jin regime has plummeted, and he is very hated by his mother and brother Dege, so when everyone elected Emperor Taiji to inherit the Khan's throne, Mang Gultai was one of the last Baylors to express their support for Emperor Taiji's succession to the Khan's throne.
For this reason, after Emperor Taiji succeeded to the Khan's throne, he repeatedly fought to put the Zhenglan Banner in front as a sacrifice, which greatly displeased the reckless Mang Gultai.
In May of the fifth year of Tiancong (1631 AD), when Mang Guertai was following emperor Taiji in the battle of besieging Dalinghe, the Zhenglan Banner was severely damaged due to the Ming army's swearing-to-die resistance. Mang Gultai demanded the withdrawal of troops but the Emperor Taiji did not allow it, and the two had a fierce verbal conflict. During the quarrel, Mang Guertai touched his own knife several times, and his brother Dege class came forward to scold him and punch him, and Mang Guertai actually drew the knife in front of Huang Taiji.
Emperor Taiji wanted this effect, and afterwards it was agreed upon by all the baylors, and then he took the position of Manggultai and the heshuo baylor for the crime of "great disrespect", demoted him to Dorobele, and at the same time cut his five cattle and punished him with silver, and his unified blue flag was handed over to his brother Derg. Then, naturally, he removed the seats that Mang Guertai and Huang Taiji were side by side, frightening DaiShan to hurriedly request that his seat be removed at the same time.
On December 2, the sixth year of Tiancong (1632 AD), Mang Gurtai suddenly died at home after returning from a mission to Chahar, at the age of forty-six.
After Mang Guertai's death, Emperor Taiji not only came to his funeral, but also set up a spiritual seat in the middle gate of the palace to commemorate him.
In the ninth year of Tiancong (1635 AD), on the second day of the first month of October, Dege Class, who had made great contributions and carefully served the Emperor Taiji, also died of inexplicable illness. Feeling that the timing was ripe, Huang Taiji couldn't wait to give his hand to Zhenglan.
In December of that year, because Mang Gultai's sister Mang Guji's close confidant Leng Monk Ji came forward to first accuse Mang Gultai, Mang Guji, and Dege of conspiring against each other, The economy Erharang and Hauge verified it, and found sixteen seals engraved with "Emperor Dajin" and other seals in Mangertai's mansion.
In the case of "human evidence" and "physical evidence", Emperor Taiji ordered that the dead chief offenders Mang Guertai and Dege class be cut and dug into graves, and at the same time the Zhenglan Banner was taken for his own possession. The co-offender Mang Guji was sentenced to death by Emperor Taiji for committing the crime of conspiracy and ignorance. Most unfortunately, their children were all stripped of their clan status.
At this point, the eight banners became the seven banners, and soon the Emperor Taiji handed over the zhenglan banner to his eldest son Hauge.
