Chapter 615: Huang Taiji

Nurhachi founded the country in Hetuara and was called Khan, the country was called Jin, known as Houjin in history, and the Mandate of Heaven was established, and he raised troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Nurhachi issued the Seven Great Hatreds, swore to defeat the Ming, and the Ming Dynasty suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Sarhu, losing more than 70 cities in Liaodong in a few years.

Nurhachi captured Liaoyang and Shenyang, and Nurhachi moved his capital to Shenyang. After paying homage to the ancestral tomb, he led his relatives and hundreds of officials to set off from Liaoyang, Tokyo, stayed overnight at Hupiyi, and arrived in Shenyang the next day, and Shenyang became the ruling center of the Later Jin regime. However, Nurhachi was seriously wounded by the artillery of the Ming army in the Battle of Ningyuan, and died soon after, and the eighth emperor, Taiji, succeeded to the throne and continued to attack the Ming Dynasty, and united the Mongolian tribes, and the power continued to expand.

Huang Taiji, Qing Taizong, Aixin Jueluo Huang Taiji, is the eighth son of Qing Taizu Aixin Jueluo Nurhachi, and his mother is the Empress Xiaoci Gao Yehenara. After Nurhachi's death, Huang Taiji was elected to inherit the throne of Khan. Huang Taiji was enshrined as Bogda Chechen Khan by the Mongol tribe in southern Mo, also known as Tiancong Khan, and in the same year changed the name of the Jurchen tribe to Manchuria, called the emperor in Shenyang, and founded the country called the Qing Dynasty. He reigned for 17 years, and died suddenly on the eve of entering the customs, at the age of 52, and was buried in Zhaoling, Shenyang.

Huang Taiji was born in the twentieth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the eighth son of Nurhachi, and his mother was Yehenala clan, named Menggu Zhezhe, and was the younger sister of Yehebel Buzhai and Narimbulu.

Menggu Zhezhe was sick and wanted to see her mother's side, Nurhachi sent someone to inform him of the matter, but Narimbulu did not agree, and in the same year Menggu Zhezhezhe died of illness, and Huang Taiji was twelve years old at the time. When Meng Gu was alive, the time to be a great blessing was short, and after Huang Taiji became the Great Khan, he respected Meng Gu Zhezhe as the Empress of Filial Piety.

Since he was a teenager, Huang Taiji often followed his father and brother to hunt and fight, and was skilled in riding and archery, and followed his father to conquer the Jurchen Ula tribe in Haixi and conquered six cities. In the first year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven, Nurhachi established the Great Jin State, known as the Later Jin Dynasty in history, called the Great Khan, and appointed the second son Daishan as the Great Beyler, the nephew Amin as the second Beyler, the fifth son Mang Gurtai as the third Beyler, and the eighth son Huang Taiji as the fourth Beyler, referred to as the Four Beylers.

He attacked the Ming Dynasty with his father and offered a plan to attack Fushun. In the following year, in the Battle of Sarhu, he and Zhu Beile led his troops to break the Ming Army's Juniper troops on the West Road, the Malin troops on the North Road, and Liu Ling's troops on the East Road with Daishan. Soon he followed his father to capture Ming Kaiyuan and Tieling, and exterminated the Yehe tribe. Together with his brother Abatai, he led 5,000 elite cavalry to aid Korqin, forcing the Chahar Mongol leader Lin Dan Khan to flee away.

Nurhachi died of illness, and the eldest concubine Ulanala and two concubines were buried. Dai Shan, together with his sons Yue Tuo and Sakhalian, supported the throne of Emperor Taiji and succeeded to the throne of Khan. Huang Taiji was in the Dazheng Palace, that is, the throne of Khan, burned incense to the sky, and declared the following year as the first year of Tiancong.

After succeeding to the throne, Huang Taiji followed the trend of historical development and promoted the feudalization process of the Later Jin regime. He sent people to measure the land, returned the surplus land to the public, and distributed it to the people to cultivate, and did not allow the banner owners and nobles to set up farms again. The original 13 Zhuang Ding were changed to 1 Zhuang for every 8 Zhuang Ding, and the rest of the Han people were divided into separate residences and classified as private households. and ordered the compilation of Zhuang Ding, and the liberation of some slaves and maids as compilers. These measures restricted the privileges of the Manchu aristocracy to a certain extent, which was conducive to the development of agricultural production, and he tried his best to learn the culture of the Han nationality and ordered Confucian ministers to translate books on Chinese characters.

He abolished the old system of sitting in the south with the three major Baylors and managing the government together, and changed to sit alone in the south to highlight the exclusive status of the Khan. Then he sought an opportunity to eliminate dissidents, eradicated the three major Baylor forces that threatened the Khan's throne, and consolidated the Khan's power. Imitating the Ming system, there were three internal courts, six ministries, stopping the affairs of the royal department of the king and Belle, and taking charge of government affairs, and setting up the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Imperial Court, establishing a relatively complete set of state institutions, centralizing the power of the Khan, and strengthening the autocratic rule.

In order to expand the source of troops, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of Mongolia were created. Ordered people to add circle points on the basis of the old Manchu text, and transform the old Manchu text into the new Manchu text. In order to connect Mongolia and Tibet, we vigorously supported and propagated Lamaism.

Huang Taiji was determined to inherit his father's will and enter the Central Plains to replace the rule of the Ming Dynasty. After ascending the throne, when the state was not consolidated, on the one hand, it adopted a strategy of peace with the Ming court, and at the same time, it repeatedly entered the customs and plundered a large number of people, animals and property in the Han land.

In order to relieve his worries, he sent troops to Korea twice to unify Mongolia and the Heilongjiang River Valley. After consolidating his internal rule and basically eliminating the threat from Korea and Inner Mongolia, Yu Tiancong proclaimed himself emperor in the tenth year, named the country as the Great Qing Dynasty, changed the Yuan Chongde, and changed the ethnic name Jurchen to Manchuria, and then used the main forces in the war against the Ming.

Huang Taiji rushed to the battle of Songjin with illness, commanded the Qing army to achieve a great victory in Songjin, captured Hong Chengchou alive, and annihilated more than 50,000 Ming troops. After subjugating Songshan and Jinzhou, the Qing army occupied all the towns except Ningyuan in the Ming Dynasty.

The army was sent into the customs again, and more than 80 cities as far as Shandong were broken. The fifth Dalai Lama of Tibet, Lobzang Jamco, sent Ilaguk Sanhu Tuketu and Erut Mongolian Daiqing Erji to communicate with the Qing Dynasty, and Huang Taiji repeatedly praised Buddhism and confessed to the Tibetan envoy that he had no doubt about Buddhism.

Huang Taiji was the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who was both civil and military, and quite strategic. There are also several wives and concubines, Da Yu'er and her aunt, and other concubines. However, Huang Taiji's favorite woman is Hai Lanzhu, who is Da Yuer's own sister.

Nahai Lanzhu was originally a woman of the Mongolian tribe Chahail Lindan Khan, and when she married Huang Taiji, she was already twenty-six years old. Da Yu'er was five years older than Da Yu'er at this time, and at that time, she asked Huang Taiji to take Hai Lanzhu in, and Da Yu'er was also selfish, after all, the relationship between the sisters was very good back then, and at this time, around the emperor, wouldn't the relationship be even better?

In the first year of Chongde, Huang Taiji took the title commonly used by famous concubines in ancient times, and sealed Hailanzhu as the concubine. In the "Book of Songs" symbolizes the love of the verses: "Guan Guan Sui dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman." "The dormitory where Concubine Chen lived was named Guan Sui Palace. Concubine Chen's status is second among the five palaces, second only to her aunt Empress Xiaoduanwen.

Concubine Chen gave birth to the eighth son of the emperor, and the emperor Taiji was ecstatic, and soon decided to make this baby the heir to the throne, feast the ministers, and also issued the first amnesty decree of the Qing Dynasty. But the eighth son of the emperor only lived to be two years old, and died before he could be named. The death of his beloved son dealt a heavy spiritual blow to Huang Taiji and Concubine Chen, and Concubine Chen was particularly hit hard, she was depressed all day long, and finally became depressed and sick.

When Concubine Chen was dying, Huang Taiji was commanding the battle on the Songshan battlefield, and after he learned the news that Concubine Chen was critically ill, he ignored the tense battle and immediately rushed back to Shengjing. When he entered the Guansui Palace, Concubine Chen had already returned to Yaochi, and she was thirty-three years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, which was the year of Fenghua.

Huang Taiji was grief-stricken, his sleep and food were wasted, and he even fainted, and after emergency rescue, he gradually woke up. In order to express the mourning of the concubine, Huang Taiji held a grand funeral for Concubine Chen, and gave the nicknames Min Huigong and Yuan Fei, which is the largest number of words in the concubine name of the Qing Dynasty.

Since the loss of Concubine Chen, he has been grieving day and night, his diet has decreased, his body has deteriorated, and he has passed out in a coma, and he has no clue about his words. Later, the kings and ministers invited him to go to the Puhe River to shoot and hunt, so as to relieve his sorrow and depression, but he didn't want to pass by the tomb of Concubine Chen, which touched the scene and caused him to cry again. Less than two years after Concubine Chen's death, Huang Taiji also returned to Jiuquan, and Huang Taiji's true affection for Concubine Chen is rare among emperors in previous dynasties.

So why does Huang Taiji have a soft spot for Hai Lanzhu, and the three thousand favors are all in one? Hai Lanzhu is as beautiful as a flower, Concubine Chen's skin is like jade, and there is a mature beauty that a girl does not have, and she is gentle and virtuous, and she is even more favored by Huang Taiji. Compared with Concubine Zhuang, in Huang Taiji's heart, Concubine Zhuang was too scheming and did not dare to love deeply from her heart, and when Concubine Zhuang got married, she was only thirteen years old, which was too young.

Hai Lanzhu has no scheming, and lives with Huang Taiji, but usually the husband and wife are very harmonious, unlike her aunt and Da Yu'er, who have been busy with the country's plans, such a woman is terrible. Huang Taiji has been a man all his life, married a woman who knows cold and hot, in order to enjoy life, he doesn't want to face a woman full of calculations, so when can he relax.

Hai Lanzhu is very feminine and knows how to please men, that's all, just a petite girl. Although he is a little old, he has a woman's charm, which makes Huang Taiji very useful, so just a glimpse of Huang Taiji's heart is hooked. Since then, Huang Taiji's woman is only Hai Lanzhu, and the Manchu meaning of Hai Lanzhu is the person I cherish and cherish, which shows her position in Huang Taiji's heart.

Huang Taiji had a total of eleven sons, Empress Xiaoduanwen Borzigit, named Zhezhe, Empress Huang Taiji of Qing Taizong Aixin Jueluo, the daughter of Mongolian Korqin Belle Manggusi, and the aunt of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen Bumu Butai, Min Huigong and Yuan Concubine Hai Lanzhu.

During the period of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, the Later Jin gradually attached importance to the alliance with Mongolia, and Zhezhe was also valued by Mongolia, and his status gradually rose. After Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne, he and Empress Xiaozhuang Wen were respected in the two palaces, and they were called the queen mother, without a emblem.
