The most dangerous battle in Chinese history, but the result was the best battle for the throne, the Qing Dynasty (early 16th century of the Ming Chongzhen), the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the 52-year-old Emperor Taiji, died suddenly, without warning and leaving no will about his funeral arrangements.
Even if the patriarch of an ordinary large family suddenly dies, the whole family will be sad, let alone the emperor of the Great Qing Empire.
In particular, Huang Taiji did not make a prince during his lifetime. The prince Baylor and the nobles controlled the Eight Banners Iron Horse. There is more than one person who is eligible to inherit the throne. There is an undercurrent of power between the DPRK and China. The battle for the throne even reached bitter battles and conflicts between siblings. How dangerous is cannibalism!
A bloody storm seems to be coming!
The Qing Dynasty was turbulent and precarious! Let's return to the critical and murderous scene.
(Pictured) Aisin Gyoro Huang Taiji (1592.11.28-1643.09.21), also known as Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, an outstanding military strategist in the early Qing Dynasty, the second largest Khan politician of the late Jin Dynasty, and the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
On September 26, the fifth day after Emperor Taiji's death, Dolgon summoned the kings and ministers to a meeting at the Chongzheng Hall to discuss the succession to the throne.
At that time, the Manchus had not yet entered the state to seize power, let alone become Han Chinese, so the Han did not recognize their inheritance from the Manchu father and son. This also prompted many of Huang Taiji's brothers to try it in earnest.
At that time, the candidates who were capable and qualified to compete for the throne and participate in the conference mainly were:
Crown Prince Li Daishan, Emperor Taiji's eldest son Haoge, Prince Zheng Zierharang, Prince Rui Dolgon, British Prince Azige, Prince Yu Duduo.
Because Dai Shan was in his sixties at the time, and he had suffered a long-term blow, he had long lost his ambition to compete for the throne;
Gilharang is the nephew of Nurhachi and is closely related by blood. Cautious and self-aware, he voluntarily renounced the battle for the throne;
Azig, Dolgon, and Dordor were half-brothers. Azig and Dudo were accomplished in battle, but they were both brave and reckless generals. They also knew that they could not become emperors, so they simply firmly supported each other. Brothers Dolgon.
It seems that there are many people vying for the throne, but in the end it is a contest between Haug and Dolgon.
Although there were fewer people playing, the competition became more intense. Both of them understood that this was a life-and-death battle!
First, let's take a look at the respective strengths of Haug and Dolgon.
Aixinjuero Hauge (1609-1648), eldest son of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty
Advantages of Hauge:
1、
Regarding inheritance qualifications and blood relations: Hao Ge is the eldest son of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty. He was young and promising. He was the best of Emperor Taiji's many sons. When Emperor Taiji was alive, he was named a prince for his battle merits and was subordinate to the Zhenglanqi. Flag owner. 2、
Support and support: Crown Prince Hauge left a great political legacy. Huang Taiji was personally in charge of the two yellow flags before his death. In order to repay the kindness of Emperor Taiji, the nobles of the Erhuangqi must of course protect their own interests. They naturally wanted to support Hauge as emperor. There are also noble ministers of the clan who are used by the Emperor Taiji. In order to repay Huang Taiji, they will also choose to support Haoge. This is a powerful political force, represented by Prince Zheng Zilharang.
3.
The military power he controls: Hauge controls the blue flag. The two yellow flags were left to him by Emperor Taiji. He controlled the army with two yellow and blue flags. Later he was given the most prestigious position of his time and received two red flags. With the support of Prince Li Daishan, the second brother of Emperor Taiji, Prince Zheng and Prince Zilharang who controlled the Blue Banner, six of the eight banners of Manchuria supported Haoge. Haug seemed certain to have a chance of victory, and he believed the throne was his.
Haug's treatment is indeed excellent, but what about Dolgon's treatment?
Pros of Dolgon:
1、
On inheritance qualifications and kinship: Dolgon is Nurhach's favorite son. It is said that Nurhachi once had a inheritance that made him crown prince. However, the throne was later taken away by Emperor Taiji, and his mother was also forced to death by Huang Taiji. So this time he must seize the opportunity to reclaim his throne!
2、
Advocacy and Support: Dolgon had two half-brothers, Azig and Tudor, who served with great success. They are his strongest and most reliable supporters. At the same time, Dolgon's battle exploits and prestige belonged to the clans, nobles and government. It has a lot of influence in China and a lot of potential supporters. Moreover, many of the two yellow flags are loyal allies of Dolgon.
3.
Available military forces: The most reliable military force in Dolgon is the two white flags. These two white flags were left by Nurhachi to the three brothers of Dolgon. Solidarity is a solid foundation that should not be underestimated.
Although Haug has a chance of victory on the surface, in fact, Dolgon's strength and Haug can be said to be on par. Both sides are bound to win. The dispute between the two sides is tense, and a bloody battle seems to be about to begin. Attack. So who will win, who will take the throne and become the final victor?
(pictured) Aisin Ghoro Dolgon (November 17, 1612 – December 31, 1650), the fourteenth son of the Qing Dynasty emperor Nur Hachi, was an outstanding military strategist and military strategist in the early Qing Dynasty.
Seven days after Huang Taiji's death, the fighting became intense. The two Yellow Banner ministers formed an alliance to support Haug as emperor, while mobilizing troops and generals to prepare for the worst.
King Dodor of Yujun and Azige, king of Diying County, asked for Dolgon's support and prepared to seize the throne by force. The battle for the throne began on September 21, 1643, and seven days have passed since then. Everyone on both sides knows that the time has come for a final showdown. A meeting to discuss the heir to the throne was held in the East Hall of Chongzheng Hall. The meeting was chaired by the oldest and most senior of the royal family, Prince Lai, Dai Sun.
At the beginning of the meeting, Dordor insisted on behalf of Dolgon's followers that he must support Dolgon as emperor. Even if he does not support Dolgon, it will definitely not be Haug's turn to inherit the throne.
The point is that this is not the opinion of Duoduo alone, nor just the opinion of the three brothers, but the unanimous opinion of the many clan nobles and ministers with the two white banners as the core.
Haug is by no means an idle man. He knew that negotiating a solution to the problem with the rebellious Dolgon was absolutely impossible. He was enraged by Duoduo's words. He thinks he has the backing of Six Flags and is sure to win. So he didn't want to endure it anymore and wanted to try it!
Hauge said in front of the clans, nobles, and ministers: "How can I inherit the throne if I have shallow virtue?" Then he left the hall angrily, and then two yellow banner ministers openly entered the hall with swords, saying: "The emperor has been very kind to us, if we do not arrest the prince, we would rather die." "And according to the underground emperor!"
Yes, that's Haug's strategy. Pretending to be modest, he secretly called on the two Yellow Banner ministers to force the palace by force.
Haug thought this strategy was very clever, but unfortunately backfired. In fact, from the moment the two yellow banner ministers forced the palace, he had no chance to take the throne.
Here's why:
1、
Hauge was less senior among the many clan nobles, and the real power was in the hands of the clan princes. If Hauge treated them like this before he ascended the throne as emperor, then if he really became emperor in the future, would they still be able to live well? Prince Li Daishan, the respected conference host at that time, first changed his position in favor of Haoge, causing Hauge to lose the support of the two red flags. The other princes of the clan were also suspicious of Haug.
2、
Haug's actions further irritated the three Dolgon brothers. They deeply understand that even if they compromise and Hauge ascends the throne as emperor, they will soon die without a place to be buried! It's all death anyway, so take this risk! No matter how hard Haug tried, he couldn't succeed!
3.
Haug's plan had a big flaw, that is, he himself said that he was shallow in virtue and too weak to inherit the throne. When he asked the two yellow banner ministers to force the palace, he did not directly mention his name, but only said that he must make the emperor a prince, because everyone knows that the emperor is the only one who can be made a prince among the princes. Have the power to seize the throne.
(pictured) Aisin Gyoro Duduo (1614.04.02-1649.04.29), the fifteenth son of Nur Hachi, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the leader of the White Banner of Manchuria, known as the Ten Kings and one of the Eight Irons. In the early Qing Dynasty, he hated the kings and inherited the title.
Unfortunately, this huge loophole was caught by Dolgon. When the two yellow flags forced the palace, Azig and Dordor also mobilized men and horses to prepare for action, but were stopped by Dorgon. Dolgon understood that if victory by force was unlikely, even if the Qing dynasty would win, it would be greatly weakened.
From this point of view, Dolgon is a politician, and Haug is just a martial artist.
Dolgon said: "For a better tomorrow for the Qing Dynasty, I also support letting the first crown prince inherit the throne, but Hauge has given up and is unwilling to inherit the throne, so let's choose one of the other princes." "The first emperor will inherit the throne. In his later years, the emperor favored Concubine Zhuang. (the famous Empress Xiaozhuang in history), then make her son Fulin the new emperor. Also, because Fulin was only six years old, Jill Harang and I worked as assistants. ”
At the critical moment, Dolgon was undoubtedly able to come up with this perfect idea, which is impressive!
This passage seems simple and clear on the surface, but in fact it contains many mysteries.
1、
Dolgon agreed to make the crown prince, but seized on Hauge's loophole and blocked the mouths of the two yellow banner ministers and Haug's followers, leaving them speechless.
2、
He offered to support Forint. Since Fu Lin was only 6 years old, Dolgon had the opportunity to control the imperial government. Importantly, Emperor Taiji's empress Zhezhe was Concubine Zhuang's aunt. By creating Fulin, he won the support of the empress and the Mongol tribe. In the tank
3.
If Zilharang is taken as the Minister of Support, the Pandan Banner represented by Zilharang will no longer support Hauge.
Sure enough, as soon as Dolgon's words fell, the crown prince Li Daishan was the first to express support, and in the end everyone expressed support. Hauge and the two yellow banner ministers were also stupid and took the yellow lian - it's hard to say anything. But I have to agree.
In this way, the most dangerous battle for the throne in Chinese history was miraculously resolved without bloodshed.
In this way, Fulin ascended the throne for the Shunzhi Emperor.

In 1644 (the first year of Shunzhi), the Qing army entered the customs and took control of the Central Plains. The Shunzhi Emperor moved the capital to Beijing, and the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history entered the historical stage.
In 1650 (the seventh year of Shunzhi), Dolgon died unexpectedly, and Fulin took over early.
With the efforts of Shunzhi, the Qing Dynasty quickly unified the country. Most importantly, Shunzhi gave birth to a good son, the emperor's third son, Xuan Ye.
In 1661 (the eighteenth year of Shunzhi), the Shunzhi Emperor died at the age of twenty-four. His inheritance passed to the emperor's third son Xuan Ye, the Kangxi Emperor, the only emperor in history!
