Speaking of the history of the founding struggle of the ancient Chinese dynasty, the Qing Dynasty can be described as unique, because the founding of the Qing Dynasty is not like the Han Taizu Liu Bang and the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, it is the founding emperor who led a group of fellow villagers to fight the world, it is a person NB, influencing the people around him, digging out their highlights, so that the people in the same village can emerge from generation to generation, and the founding of the Qing Dynasty is different, it is Lao Tzu's hero and son of the Good Han Dynasty, and the founding history can be said to be the history of the struggle of three generations of the family.
Starting with a generation of Qing Taizu Nurhaci, he himself needless to say, he has 16 sons, most of whom can also fight good battles, such as Daishan, Huang Taiji, Azig, Duoduo, Dolgun, etc., are all independent generals, to the grandchildren, although there is some decline, but there are also many generals, Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge is one of the best, in the Guanwai period on the battle merits, after entering the Guanguan is to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi regime, pacify Sichuan.
Generally speaking, family-style enterprises, naturally there are many capable people, often no one obeys who will have civil unrest, but the power transmission in the early days of the Qing Dynasty did not fluctuate too much, that is, after the sudden death of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, it triggered the dispute over the throne of Dolgun and Hauge, but in the end there was no great war, but the Shunzhi Emperor Fu Linyu Wengdeli inherited the throne, and then the succession of emperor Taiji of the former Qing Dynasty, in the face of so many excellent brothers, there was no controversy, it was the desired succession to the Khan throne, becoming the second Great Khan of Houjin. Later, it carried out centralized power and carried out a series of drastic reforms, changing the name of the country to the Great Qing, laying the foundation for the Qing Dynasty to enter the customs and seize the world.
So today Song Anzhi said that there are so many excellent heirs of Nurhaci, why can Emperor Taiji, as the eighth son, stand out and finally inherit the Khan's throne?
Huang Taiji as the eighth son of Nurhaci, the reason why it can be successful, in fact, the biggest reason is that although there are many excellent heirs of Nurhaci, but there are not many literary and martial arts, the main excellence is mostly reflected in the military, to say that politics and military are both civil and martial, and both are very capable, that is, Huang Taiji and Dolgun, so that to put it bluntly, can become the fierce enemy of Huang Taiji, that is, Dolgun alone, but Huang Taiji has an age advantage, from childhood to follow Nurhaci to the south to fight in the north, Dorgon, on the other hand, was only 14 years old when Nurhaci died, did not grow up, and did not have the strength to compete for the Khan's position at that time.
First, let's talk about Huang Taiji's competitors and the historical environment in which they live.
Before Nurhaci's death, he did not appoint an heir, but asked the eight kings who were in power at that time to jointly choose an heir: "Erhachi seeks the country with one heart, or one person says that it is beneficial to the country, and the seven people approve of it, and there is almost no mistake." Choose one who has the ability to receive the counsel, and ascend to the throne."
During the Guanwai period of the Qing Dynasty, especially during the Nurhaci Caochuang period, there was a special situation that was different from previous dynasties, that is, the Eight Banners created by Nurhaci was not a simple military system, but a special military and national system, and it was not centralized power, but a model of eight decentralization, which was a system of eight kings and co-rule.
The so-called eight kings co-governance system is the eight and Shuo Belle co-administering the Jin State Government, which is divided into four major baylors and four small baylors, and the ones with great power are actually the four great baylors.
The four baylors are the Great Baylor Daishan, the second Baylor Amin, the third Baylor Mang Gurtai, and the four Baylor Emperor Taiji. Because they are old, they have a lot of power because they followed their father Nurhaci to fight in the war since they were young, and they have great achievements in battle and have been responsible for daily government affairs for a long time.
That is to say, after Nurhaci's death, in fact, Huang Taiji's competitors were the first three belles, and these three people, Daishan, had the opportunity to become the heir to the Khan's throne, and after Nurhaci's eldest son Chu Ying was given death, Daishan was once regarded as the heir by Nurhaci.
However, Daishan made two major mistakes, Nurhaci once said that after his death, he handed over his young son and Dafujin to Daishan to raise, according to the tradition of the nomadic people at that time, this is also normal, but Daishan this person is a bit impatient, his father Nurhaci is not dead, just like Dafujin is eyebrow-to-eye, but this ambiguous relationship also let Nurhaci know, Nurhaci is naturally angry.
Coincidentally, in September of the year after this incident occurred, Dai Shan listened to the rumors of his wife and actually abused his son Shuo Chen, forcing Shuo Tan to plan to defect to the Ming Dynasty, and after the incident, Dai Shan also demanded the execution of Shuo Chen several times, so angry that Nurhaci scolded Dai Shan for not being worthy of being the king of a country, and from then on Dai Shan completely lost the qualification to inherit the Khan's throne.
Erbel Amin, the second son of Nurhaci's younger brother Shulhazi, was originally the second most powerful person in Houjin, who was imprisoned to death by Nurhaci for plotting to split the self-reliance portal, but Nurhaci did not kill him completely, and raised Amin and other brothers who were not involved in the matter.
As Nurhaci's nephew, Amin is not good at getting along with people, has an obedient personality, and coupled with the past of his father Shulhazi, even if he is in a high position of power, he is automatically excluded from the khan's heir.
Three Belle Mang Gurtai is a typical brave and unscrupulous, although the battle achievements are prominent, but too reckless, in order to show loyalty, eager to perform, even killed the guilty birth mother, the impact is bad, but also no chance to khanate.
In contrast, the Emperor Taiji, who is both literate and martial, and has a strong comprehensive ability, is very important to Nurhachi, and he will also win people's hearts, which can be described as a deep popularity, so although Nurhaci did not specify an heir until his death, he has tacitly accepted that Emperor Taiji is the heir to the Khan's throne.
This was known to clear-eyed people at that time, and the old Khan Nurhaci acquiesced, his own strength was strong, and there were many supporters, so not long after Nurhaci's death, Daishan and his sons Yue Tuo and Sakhalian supported Huang Taiji to inherit the Khan's throne, and Huang Taiji repeatedly pushed down, and finally inherited the position of Houjin Khan.
In fact, Dai Shan is also a personal essence, after losing the blow of the heir to the Khan throne, although his political ability is not as good as that of Emperor Taiji and Dolgun, his way of self-preservation can be described as pure fire, it is a success of standing in line, and he also understands that he has a few pounds and a few pounds, and never does what he should not do.
Therefore, DaiShan, who monopolized the third of the Eight Iron Hat Kings of the Qing Dynasty, was himself the first prince of Li, the first of the eight iron hat kings, his eldest son Yue Tuo was the first ancestor of the King of Keqin County, and his grandson Le Ke Dehun was the first fengzu of the King of Shuncheng County.
Let's talk about the only Dolgun who can wrench his wrist with the Emperor Taiji.
Huang Taiji is the eighth son of Nurhaci, Dolgun is the fourteenth son of Nurhaci, the difference between the two is 20 years old, when Nurhaci died, Dolgun was only 14 years old, and there was no battle achievement, and there was no expectation, so even the birth mother Abhay was forced to be martyred by the kings led by Huang Taiji, and he was powerless to stop it, when Huang Taiji was 34 years old, in that case, Dorgon, who had not grown up, did not have the strength to compete with Huang Taiji.
However, there is no doubt about the strength of Dolgun, Dolgun was the first hero to enter the customs in the early Qing Dynasty, and was the most meritorious of the founding kings, after the sudden death of the Emperor Taiji, although he did not win the throne, he became the regent, and finally actually grasped the power of the Qing Dynasty.
Under the actual rule of Dolgun, the Qing Dynasty completed the great cause of entering the customs, and after entering the customs, it eliminated the Dashun regime of Li Zicheng and the Daxi regime of Zhang Xianzhong, and eliminated the most powerful Hongguang regime of the Southern Ming, as well as the Longwu and Shaowu regimes behind it, until the winter of the seventh year of Shunzhi, Dolgun died in the hunting process in the north of Saibei, and after the Shunzhi Emperor's personal government for eight years, he was faced with a lingering Southern Ming Yongli regime, and it was really Dolgun who did not become the emperor, otherwise the temple name of Shunzhi's "shizu" was Dolgun's. It can be said that the Shunzhi Emperor can be the ancestor of the world, and Dolgun is the greatest.
It can be said that Emperor Taiji and Dolgun were the two most outstanding sons of Nurhaci's many heirs, one was the centralization and reform of the internal centralization, the unification of the outside world, the surrender of the Li clan Korea and the Mongol tribes, and the laying of the foundation for the Qing Dynasty to enter the Customs, and the other was later on, so that the Qing Dynasty entered the Customs, became a national political power, and conquered the West, laying the foundation for its great unification pattern, and also a generation of male lords.
This is also the luck of the Qing Dynasty, at the critical moment when The Emperor Taiji competed for the Khan's throne, Dolgun, the only brother who could compete with him, did not grow up, making the Emperor Taiji succeed to the throne smoothly, and after the sudden death of the Emperor Taiji, Dolgun substantively took over the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, making the Qing Dynasty usher in another rapid development.
