According to the Qing Dynasty system, members of the clan were given knighthoods, and each time their descendants inherited, the title was demoted by one rank. But there is a special case, that is, no matter how many generations are inherited, the title will never be reduced, which is called "hereditary replacement", which is what we commonly call the "Iron Hat King".
As we all know, there were eight Iron Hat Kings in the early Qing Dynasty, and they were all members of the clan who made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. Not all of the eight Iron Hat Kings were of the same generation, but the highest of them was Nurhaci's second son, Daishan, who was the first ancestor of Prince Heshuoli. So who is the youngest of the eight iron hat kings in the early Qing Dynasty? What kind of experience did he have? When did he die?
This still has to start with Daishan, who has a total of eight sons, the third son is named Sakhalian, who was born after the Fujin Yehena La clan. Born in the thirty-second year of the Ming Dynasty, Sakhalian was deeply loved by his grandfather Nurhaci, and he followed his father to fight very early, and was awarded the title of Baylor for his merits and participated in the deliberations.
After Nurhaci's death, Sakhalyan and his eldest brother Yue Tuo (Daishan's eldest son) strongly supported the succession of the Fourth Beyler Emperor Taiji to the Khan's throne, and after the latter ascended the throne, Saharan was reused. The attitude of the brothers Yue Tuo and Sakhalian has always been clear, that is, to support the Emperor Taiji, which also ensures that their position is stable.
However, Yue Tuo and Saharan are indeed brave and strategic, the Emperor Taiji is not stupid, he can reuse the two nephews, which is enough to prove the ability of the two. For example, in the first year of Tiancong, Sakhalian accompanied Emperor Taiji to fight Ming, when Shi Shan and Mang Gultai both suggested retreating, but Yue Tuo and Sakhalian urged Emperor Taiji to attack, and the result was a big victory. While pursuing the Ming army, Sakhalian was unfortunately wounded, but he became more and more courageous in the war, and finally succeeded in destroying the Ming army.
In the third year of Tiancong, Sakhalyan's concubine Fujin Uranara gave birth to his second son, Lek Dehun. The latter is the protagonist to be said today, the youngest of the eight iron hat kings.
From an early age, Lekh dehun regarded his father Sakhalyan as his idol, and he aspired from an early age to fight on the battlefield and make a career like his father. However, before Lekhedhun could grow up and follow his father to the battlefield, his father died.
Since the first year of Chongde, Sakhalyan's health has become more and more bad, and over time he can't even get out of bed. Emperor Taiji visited him many times in person, and seeing that Sakhalian's condition was getting worse and worse each time, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Unfortunately, sakhalyan died of illness in May of the same year at the age of 33. Emperor Taiji was so grief-stricken that he cried from the hour of tatsumi to noon, and for three days he posthumously honored Sakhalian as the Prince of Heshuoying.
Because Sakhalin was deeply valued by the Emperor Taiji, after his death, his sons were taken care of by the Emperor Taiji. However, what LeKe Dehun did not expect was that the Eight-Year Emperor Taiji of Chongde also died. Completely deprived of his patron, Lekh dehun was immediately embroiled in a political struggle.
Saharan's eldest son, Lek dehun's half-brother named Adali, chose to publicly support the ascension of Thery Prince Dolgun to the throne after the death of Emperor Taiji. To protect himself, Dorgon had to sacrifice Adali, who was captured by his grandfather Daishan and eventually executed for disturbing state affairs. Lekholder was implicated, stripped of his knighthood and deposed from the clan.
Although Dorgon abandoned che baoshuai in the struggle for the throne and did not sit on the throne himself, he supported the ninth son of Emperor Taiji, Fu Lin, to succeed to the throne, and he himself became the regent. At this time, the high-ranking and powerful Dorgon remembered Lekh dehun, who had been implicated by him, so he restored his clan status and was crowned Dorobele.
After that, Lekhedhun was reused, and in order to repay Dolgun, he also took the initiative to charge the battle many times. It has to be said that Lekh dehun inherited his father's genes, had extremely high military talent, and soon became a hero in the hearts of the Manchurians. At the same time, it also shows that Dorgon has the ability to see people.
Lek Dehun's most famous battle was probably in the second year of Shunzhi, when he was appointed as the general of Pingnan, succeeded Duo Duo the Prince of Yu in Jiangning, and then fought against the Nanming and Dashun armies. At that time, Ma Shiying, a university scholar of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Fang Guoan, the chief soldier, originally attacked Hangzhou, but it was LeKe dehun who led the army to arrive, and Ma Shiying and Fang Guoan quickly withdrew their troops.
Unable to take Hangzhou, the Southern Ming army turned to capture Yuhang and Fuyang, and Leke Dehun sent people to attack, and the Southern Ming army was defeated. In this situation, they still did not give up and besieged Hangzhou again, and the result was only to sacrifice the lives of more Southern Ming soldiers.
Ma Shiying supported the Southern Ming Hongguang Emperor, who mostly attacked the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and was defeated by Leke Dehun. At this time, Emperor Longwu of the Southern Ming Dynasty sent people to attack the Huguang area, and because they recruited the remnants of Li Zicheng, they were momentarily powerful and tried to take Jingzhou, Wuchang and other important places.
Dorgon then ordered Lekholder to lead his troops to rescue Huguang. When Lek dehun arrived, he did not panic at all, he saw that the Southern Ming army was crossing the river and preparing to attack Jingzhou, so he sent people to quietly ambush and wait for the Southern Ming army to reach the halfway point, and then rushed out to attack. In this way, this Southern Ming army was completely destroyed.
In the evening, Lek dehun led an army to raid the main camp of the Southern Ming Army, which was defenseless and fled. Luck dehun took advantage of the victory to pursue, and finally completely destroyed the Southern Ming army and the Dashun army, and he also became the great hero of Manchuria. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, Leke Dehun was made the king of Shuncheng County.
In fact, according to Lekh dehun's ability, the future will be bright, and his determination to become a figure like his father Sakhalin can be said to have already been realized, and even blue. However, the matter was again unexpected by Lekdehun, because in the seventh year of Shunzhi, Dorgon, who promoted him, died, and after his death, he was liquidated by the Shunzhi Emperor and stripped of his title.
At this time, Lek dehun had been ordered to take charge of the affairs of the Punishment Department, which was originally a great future, but because of his relationship with Dorgon, Shunzhi did not continue to promote him. But having said that, a talent like Luckhun, if after some time, after dorgon's affairs are diluted, it is not impossible to get Shunzhi promoted, but unfortunately he himself can't wait.
In the ninth year of Shunzhi, this was the last time Thatk dehun was unexpected, because he did not expect that he would die in this year, at the age of 24. After The death of Lek Dehun, his fourth son, Le Erjin, inherited the title of King of Shuncheng County, and the Knighthood passed on to 10 kings and 15 kings, three of whom were stripped of their titles.
It is worth mentioning that the last king of Shuncheng County, named Wen Kui, was appointed to the throne in the sixth year of the Republic of China, and did not die until 1992 AD, living for 84 years, the last prince in Chinese history.
