The eighth concubine of the Emperor Taiji, whose status was even higher than that of Xiaozhuang, accidentally became the mother-in-law of Dorgon

In April 1636, Emperor Taiji changed his title to Emperor in Shengjing and changed the name of the country from "Dajin" to "Daqing". At the same time, Huang Taiji also sealed the five palace concubines, namely Zhezhe, Hai lanzhu, Namu Zhong, Bat Ma Xuan and Bu Mu Bu Tai, in fact, among the five palace concubines, two were once the wives of others, and later remarried the Emperor Taiji, they are Na Mu Zhong and Bat Ma Xuan, these two are ranked third and fourth among the five palace concubines, higher than Bu Mu Bu Tai (later Xiao Zhuang) status, today we want to talk about the fourth place Ofpa Ma Xuan, she is the eighth concubine of the Emperor Taiji, also known as Kang Hui Shu Concubine.

The rise of Lin Dan Khan

Speaking of this Batmay, we have to mention her first husband, Lin Dan Khan. Who is Lin Dan Khan?

Lin Dan Khan, whose real name was Lin Dan Batur, was a descendant of Genghis Khan and the seventh grandson of Dayan Khan (the little prince of Mongolia). As early as the age of 13, Lin Dan Khan inherited the Khan's throne and began to rule the Chahar Department, at that time, although the Mongol tribes ostensibly followed the Chahar Department as the co-lord, in fact, they were yang and yin, and each of them was responsible, so Lin Dan Khan shouldered the heavy responsibility of unifying the Mongolian departments.

Facts have proved that Lin Dan Khan is indeed a cattle man, and at a young age he showed extraordinary ability, not only leading the army to sweep the borders of the Ming Dynasty, but also making the five departments of Inner Khalkha submit, it seems that Lin Dan Khan has a great tendency to restore Genghis Khan's hegemony. However, at that time, the Jianzhou Jurchens in the northeast rose, and Nurhaci not only defeated the four Jurchens of Haixi, but also continued to marry with Horqin and other tribes, posing a major threat to Lin Dan Khan.

After Emperor Taiji succeeded to the throne, the Horqin tribe, the Inner Khalkha and other tribes submitted to the Houjin, and subsequently, the Emperor Taiji launched three wars against Lin Dan Khan. At this time, Lin Dan Khan did not directly confront, but adopted a strategy of moving west, thus offending most of the Mongol feudal lords, in this case, Lin Dan Khan was defeated one after another, and finally died in Qinghai.

The Fourth Fu Jin of Submission

In August 1634, Lin Dan Khan died in Qinghai, and subsequently, the helpless Fujins chose to surrender to Houjin, the first of which was Batma, who ranked fourth among the Eight Great Fujins, because he was in charge of Dou Tumen's ten thousand households, so it was called Dou Tumen Fujin.

After Batma's return to Houjin, The Great Belle Daishan and others asked Emperor Taiji to accept him as Fujin, but Emperor Taiji initially disagreed. However, I had to admire the eloquence of these courtiers of HouJin, who said that The annexation of Batma Was the arrangement of heaven, and the greatest arrangement of heaven made emperor Taiji accept it with peace of mind.

Huang Taiji hesitated for three days, but suddenly remembered one thing, he remembered that when he was stationed in the Narit River before, there was a phoenix that flew into the big tent, and now Lin Dan Khan Fu Jin Bat Ma Xuan was attached, it seemed that it was really a heavenly arrangement, so Huang Taiji decided to make Bat Ma Xuan a Fu Jin.

It is worth mentioning that when Batmahu remarried the Emperor Taiji, he also had an adopted daughter by his side, and the history books called the Mongolian adopted daughter. This adopted daughter was most likely born to Batmahu and Lin Dan Khan, who remarried and was raised in the palace. In 1640, Emperor Taiji ordered his fourteenth brother Dorgon to adopt this daughter as Fujin, and in this way, Batmay, who was already the concubine of Emperor Taiji, became Dorgon's mother-in-law.

Consort Kang Hui

In fact, the submission of Batma Xuan is absolutely very beneficial to Huang Taiji, and the political significance is huge, and this woman can be said to have set a precedent. Subsequently, Lin Dan Khan's head of the Eight Great Blessings of The Golden Jin, the Sac Sac Fu Jin Na Mu Zhong, the Third of the Eight Great Fu Jins, Empress Su Tai, and the eldest son of Lin Dan Khan, Er Zhe, all chose to submit, and even presented the Imperial Jade Seal.

In April 1636, the triumphant Emperor Taiji established the Great Qing Dynasty in Shengjing, and BatMa Xuan was given the title of Fujin on the east side, living in the east of the Happy Palace Palace, also known as Yanqing Palace, and she ranked fourth among the five harem concubines. The first to submit to Lin Dan Khan Fujin, whether it is status, or degree of favor, or not as good as the first of the eight fu Jin Na Mu Zhong, Na Mu Zhong after remarrying the Emperor Taiji, has given birth to two children, and Bat Ma Xuan did not come out, the only bright spot is that she unexpectedly became Dolgun's mother-in-law, of course, she is also Dolgun's sister-in-law.

After the death of Emperor Taiji, The Infant Princess Barthomara moved to the Forbidden City in Beijing with the young Shunzhi Emperor, and the Shunzhi Emperor also crowned her as Consort Kanghui, and in this way, Batma-chan also had a title of The Eight Classics of Zheng'er. After that, Batma Xuan lived in the Qing Palace for fifteen spring and autumn periods, died in the sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and was subsequently buried in the Zhaoling Guifei Garden near Shengjing.

Zichen said:

BatMa xuan originally ranked fourth in the eight great blessings of Lin Dan Khan, and after remarrying the Emperor Taiji, he also ranked fourth among the five concubines, I don't know if this is a coincidence. Of course, whether it is Fu Jin who is Lin Dan Khan or the concubine of The Emperor Taiji, the political significance is always the first, but compared with the other unknown Fujins of Lin Dan Khan, Bat Ma Xuan is also one of the luckier ones.
