Chapter 614: Nurhachi

The Qing Dynasty was a unified dynasty established by the Manchus in Chinese history, and it was also the last feudal dynasty in China, with a total of 11 emperors and 276 years of reign.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi, the leader of the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, established the Later Jin, and Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to the Great Qing Dynasty. When Dashun captured Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, after the Battle of a Stone, the Qing army took advantage of the situation to enter the customs, politically implemented the first worship of Manchuria, enclosure and surrender, shaving hair and easy clothes, moving to the sea, literary prison, etc., militarily pacifying the Dashun, Daxi, Nanming and other regimes and massacring the city, and gradually controlling the whole country.

The Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties reached their peak, the unified multi-ethnic state was consolidated, and the absolute monarchy developed to its peak. In the middle and later periods, due to factors such as political rigidity, cultural autocracy, isolation from the country, ideological imprisonment, and scientific and technological stagnation, it gradually lagged behind the West.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe was divided into three tribes: the Jianzhou Jurchen, the Haixi Jurchen, and the East China Sea Jurchen, and the region was divided into four parts: Jianzhou, Changbai, Donghai, and Hulun. The Ming Dynasty set up the Liaodong Prefecture and the Nuer Gandu Division in the northeast as administrative bodies, and the Jurchen tribes were all subject to the Ming Dynasty.

The ruler of the Qing Dynasty was the Aixinjue Luo clan of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, Mengge Timur, was the governor of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and was killed because of tribal conflicts. After moving south, the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe had close contacts with the Ming Dynasty, and the social productivity of the Jianzhou tribe increased and the economy prospered.

Nurhachi was appointed as the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, and with the thirteen deputies of his grandfather and father's legacy, he successively annexed the Jurchen tribes of Haixi, conquered the Jurchen tribes of the East China Sea, and unified the Jurchen tribes. It also built cities, set up ministers, enacted laws, governed lawsuits, and established the Eight Banners system.

The Eight Banners system was organized in the form of military organization, and the Jurchens were organized to carry out war and production activities under the control of the aristocracy, which was a kind of social organization that integrated the soldiers and the people. The Eight Banners system promoted the development of Jurchen society and consolidated Nurhachi's dominance.

Nurhachi was the founder of the Qing Dynasty, when he was twenty-five years old, he raised troops to unify the Jurchen tribes, Mingshenzong Wanli forty-four years, established the Houjin, and divided Liaodong. After the battle of Salhu, he swept through Liaodong and captured more than 70 cities in Liao in the Ming Dynasty, and made great achievements in his life.

However, such a powerful and famous figure in history also fell into the Beauty Pass, in order to get a beauty, he fought several times, and did not hesitate to destroy a tribe, she is the first beauty of Yehe-Dongge.

In the tenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Dongge was born in the Yehe tribe, when the great shaman of the Yehe tribe once prophesied: "This woman can prosper the world, but she can die in the world." ”

Dongge grew up and became a peerless beauty, causing countless heroes to compete for her, and she was known as the first beauty of the Jurchens, and her beauty was famous in all Jurchen departments. How did Nurhachi come to know Dongge? This has to start with Nurhachi's entrepreneurial history.

Because his grandfather and father were mistakenly killed by the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi, who was born in a family of Jianzhou Left Guard commanders, started his entrepreneurial road with the thirteen sets of armor left by his ancestors. At that time, Allah was divided into several large tribes, namely Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and East China Sea Jurchen, and Nurhachi belonged to Jianzhou Jurchen, and since Wanli raised troops with thirteen pairs of armor in the eleventh year, it took only five years to unify the three guards of Jianzhou.

Nurhachi started with a small force, so he was despised by the Haixi Beylers, who were known to be famous in the world, but as Nurhachi unified the state and gradually became powerful, it finally caused the Haixi Nuzhen to be uneasy. At that time, in order to win over and contain Nurhachi, according to the intention of his father, he married his fourteen-year-old sister Menggu, who was born in the ancient city of Yehe, to Nurhachi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and she was the mother of the later Huang Taiji.

However, after the marriage, Yehebel turned the attention of the tribe to his brother-in-law Nurhachi, and the Hercynian tribes led by Narimbulu blackmailed Nurhachi several times, trying to coerce him to cede land to limit the expansion of the state, but Nurhachi sternly refused.

Seeing that the coercion and intimidation were ineffective, Yehe entangled the forces of the four tribes of Hada, Ula and Huifa to plunder, but they were defeated, and the nobles of Haisibeile could not accept this defeat, so a larger battle broke out, that is, the Battle of Gule Mountain.

Unwilling to be defeated, Yehebel Nalimbulu entangled nine tribes such as Xibei and Jiaercha to form a larger military alliance and launched an attack on the Nurhachi tribe in Jianzhou, determined to put Nurhachi to death and set foot on Jianzhou. However, due to the lack of unified command and mobilization of the nine-part coalition army, Nurhachi won more with less and captured alive the commander of the Ula tribe, Buzhantai, Yehebel Buzhai was killed in this battle, and his younger brother Narimbulu led the remnants of the army to flee back to Yeh in a panic.

After the defeat of the force, Ye He had no choice but to use the method of marriage again, expressing his willingness to marry Dongge, the daughter of Buzhai, who died in the Battle of the Nine Divisions, to Nurhachi to show reconciliation. As the first beauty of the Jurchen tribe, Dongge has been famous since she was a child, and Nurhachi is of course overjoyed, and immediately hired a marriage and married a beauty.

However, when Dongge learned of this marriage contract, he refused again and again, didn't he want to serve a husband with his aunt Menggu? Therefore, he resolutely opposed this marriage, so Yehebu destroyed Dongge's marriage contract with Nurhachi, and openly asked the tribes to marry Dongge on the condition of killing Nurhachi.

However, in Dong Ge's marriage history, this is the third time that the marriage has been ruined, because of her beauty, Dong Ge's life is destined to become a political bargaining chip because of the status of the princess of the Yehe tribe, and she has been promised to different men several times, but it has not been successful.

When she was nine years old, she promised to marry Baylor, a gangster merchant of the Hada tribe, but this was just a beauty plan, and on the way to welcome her relatives, the unsuspecting gangster was killed by her father-in-law, the Yehe tribe ambushed by the soldiers on the way. Later, the Yeh tribe betrothed Donggexu to Buzhantai of the Ula tribe on the condition that he participate in the Battle of the Nine Divisions, and Buzhantai then became a prisoner of Nurhachi in this war. When Buzhantai was released four years later to marry Dongge, Dongge was promised to Nurhachi.

Hearing that Dongge was married, Menggebulu, the chief of the Hada tribe, immediately became angry, and after making a marriage contract, he declared war on Nurhachi in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli. Later, because of the defeat of Mengebulu, he surrendered to Nurhachi, and the Hada tribe was completely annexed by Nurhachi.

The ending of Mengebulu did not make the men who coveted the beauty of Dongge stop moving forward. In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the leader of the Huifa tribe, Baiyin Dalibel, was engaged to Dongge, and reneged on the original marriage contract with Nurhachi's daughter.

In the first month of the second year, the Ula tribe perished, and Buzhantai fled to the Yehe tribe, but Dongge, who had a very high vision, did not see the defeated general Buzhantai in his eyes at all, she refused to fulfill the marriage contract, and the angry and ashamed Buzhantai soon died of depression. In the forty-third year of Wanli, Dong Ge, who was already thirty-three years old, was married to Mongolia, and when Dong Ge was married, her age had far exceeded the general marriage age at that time, so she was called Yehe Old Girl.

Unexpectedly, Dong Ge died less than a year after she got married, and this unbelievable everything verified the wizard's prophecy to her back then. All the tribes that had a marriage contract with Dongge perished one after another, and Nurhachi, who was rejected for marriage, grew stronger. However, Nurhachi's anger against Yehe was not extinguished by Dongge's death, but in the year of Dongge's death, he officially proclaimed himself emperor and established Houjin.

When Nurhachi wanted to send another army to Yeh, due to the intervention of the Ming court, he had to cancel the deployment to attack Yeh. Shifting the focus of military defense to the important towns of the Ming border that fought against the Ming court, Yehe's new Beyl Jintaiji tried to unite with the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty was forced to turn to the defensive after the defeat in the Battle of Salhu.

Nurhachi and Sarhu defeated the Ming army Yu Wei waved Yehe, Yehe's army was unfavorable, had to retreat to the city, Jin Taiji and Dongge's brother Buyangu guarded the east and west two cities, in the case of the failure of his nephew Huang Taiji to persuade him to surrender, Nurhachi used the way of digging caves, so that the Yehe city wall finally collapsed, and the Jianzhou army therefore attacked the east city.

Before his execution, Jin Taiji swore to heaven: "Even if there is only one woman left in Yehnara, I will destroy the Jianzhou Jurchen." ”

Therefore, it has been rumored among the people that Yehenara and Aixin Jueluo have been enemies for generations, and the concubines in the Qing court palace did not choose Yehe's ancestral system.

Concubine Abahai was only about twelve years old when she married Nurhachi, and she was not a big person, but she had a lot of eyes. It only took her two years to sit in the position of the eldest concubine, and she had not yet given birth at that time, which was absolutely an exceptional promotion in the era of emphasizing inheritance. Abahai also gave Nurha red face, and if he didn't give birth, he gave birth to three sons in his life.

The eldest son, Azig, later Prince Ying. What does this person say? War is a good hand, and political struggle is basically at the level of idiots.

The second son, Dolgon, needless to say, even if he doesn't know his great achievements, at least he knows that he and Da Yu'er have been in love.

The third son, Duoduo, is notoriously ruthless, kills people without blinking, at the age of twelve, he took charge of a banner alone, and at the age of fourteen, he went into battle to cut people, although he died a little early, but his brothers were worthy of his name.

Abahai was fourteen years old when he became concubine, and Nurhachi was fifty-five. At that time, Nurhachi's age was basically buried to the neck, but Abahai was a good time for youth, and as Nurhachi got older, Abahai also began to think about finding a way out for himself.

Generally speaking, like this kind of thing, there are only two ways for a woman to retreat, one is to get some property, and the other is to find another man. Abahai does not have a property problem, and people are not short of money, so the only way to find another man is to find another man.

According to Abahai's own observations, there are two people who are most likely to succeed Nurhachi, the eldest elder brother Daishan and the eighth elder brother Huang Taiji. Although it is said that these two people are the sons of Abahai, according to the customs of the Jurchens at that time, it is basically not a problem for the father to marry the son and the stepmother.

Dai Shan has an innate advantage, since Chu Ying died, he is the boss, and he should be the Great Khan in terms of seniority. Huang Taiji is an acquired hard worker, with outstanding military achievements, and a lot of hearts, Nurhachi is very good to him, so he is also possible. Since you can't be sure, let's just try both, whichever is the one on the set.

So Abahai went down to the kitchen himself, worked all day, and made two tables of meals. One table was sent to Dai Shan, the other table was sent to Huang Taiji, the meal was sent over, and both of them received it.

This must be accepted, who doesn't know that Abahai is a celebrity in front of the old man, and he still doesn't accept the food he cooks? Another day, if you blow some pillow wind, you will have to walk around without eating. Received it, but the two behaved differently, and after Dai Shan continued the meal, he didn't say a word, and the chopsticks were pulled out and eaten. After Huang Taiji accepted the meal, he put it there without moving.

Sometimes the cleverness of political struggle is reflected in these small places, taking the meal means that I have given you face, and not eating means that I understand what you mean, but I will not take the bait. Abahai doesn't care, he is already more optimistic about Daishan, and now he can go all out to pull Daishan into the water.

Abahai is a rare beauty, coupled with the identity of the concubine, ordinary men can't stand it under the condition of full firepower, and since then, Daishan and Abahai have been fighting hotly.

It didn't take long for Daishan and Abahai to be reported to Nurhachi, and Nurhachi became angry. Nurhachi immediately announced that he would give the red flag inlaid with the two red flags in Daishan's hands to Daishan's eldest son Yuetuo, and abolished the honorific title of Concubine Abahai. From then on, Daishan lost Nurhachi's favor and basically withdrew from the race for the throne.

Abahai didn't have much impact, because in less than a year, Nurhachi took her back and restored her status as the eldest concubine. It can be seen that Nurhachi does have true feelings for Abahai, especially in his later years, when he has reached the point where he cannot leave her.

Regarding the cause of Abahai's death, Nurhachi had long seen that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and left an edict to bury her after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed Mrs. Gouyi, so as not to leave a curse after his death. In order to get rid of the backers of Dolgon's brothers, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan made up a nonsense and secretly executed her.

Ulanala Abahai hanged himself the day after Nurhachi's death and was laid to rest with Nurhachi in the ground.
