The bird's wings were tied to gold, and the bird would never be able to soar in the sky again.

– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)

First of all, Nurhachi's own Zhenghuang Banner was divided into three and given to his three young sons, and then Daishan's Zhenglan Banner was also divided into three, and Daishan, Dudu, and Yuetuo, became the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family who held the Zhenglan Banner.

The second is the blue flag of Huang Taiji, the same as the blue flag of Daishan, among the 40,000 cavalry of Huang Taiji's blue flag, 10,000 cavalry were given to Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge Belle, and 10,000 cavalry were given to Chu Ying's second son Nikan Belle.

After such adjustments and appointments, Dai Shan, the owner of the blue flag, and Huang Taiji, the owner of the blue flag, are still the owners and the strongest of their own flags in name, but in fact their status is much worse than before; at the very least, the blue flag and the blue flag are no longer their hall.

Chu Ying's lineage, which had been gradually declining, instantly returned to the core of power of the Jianzhou Jurchens after being reused by Nurhachi one after another; Du Du, who was the real power of the Zhenglan Banner, had more strength than just 10,000 ordinary cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner.

Why did Dolgon become the most legitimate heir to the throne of the Khan as soon as he was appointed by Nurhachi as the lord of the Yellow Banner? On the one hand, it was determined by the special status of the Yellow Banner, and on the other hand, because of the absolute strength of the three Dolgon brothers.

You must know that among Nurhachi's fifteen sons, there are not many brothers who are really brothers of one mother, and among them, Azig, Dorgon, and Dodor are rare brothers of one mother, and their relationship is undoubtedly close.

Although the so-called kinship is fragile and vulnerable in the face of power, it is better to have a closer blood relationship than not to have a closer blood relationship, especially for the relatively young Dolgon brothers, who must form a group to be eligible to compete for the throne.

Since Dorgon was the leader of the Yellow Banner personally appointed by Nurhachi, his brother Azig and his brother Dordor would unconditionally support him in his bid for the throne, because Dorgon was their own brother and the other competitors were only their half-brothers.

For Azig and Duoduo, once Dorgon succeeded to the throne of Khan, they could be mixed with the banner lord Baylor at the worst, and the four great and Shuobeile would have their share sooner or later;

The three Dolgon brothers, who worked together, were supported by a descendant loyal to Nurhachi and backed by 80,000 cavalry under the Yellow Banner, and it is no exaggeration to say that they had become the most powerful figures in the Jurchens of Jianzhou, and they were only one step away from the throne of Khan.

Chu Ying's eldest son, Du Du's power, could not be stronger than the strength of the three Dolgon brothers, but his strength should not be underestimated; after all, his father Chu Ying was not only Nurhachi's eldest son, but also the Jianzhou Jurchen 'prison state' who had determined the identity of the heir!

Even if Chu Ying was later overthrown by the four major Baylors and the five ministers, the cronies he had cultivated over the years could not be easily eradicated; to this day, there are still many people in the core forces within the Aixin Jueluo family who are Chu Ying's confidants who hide their identities.

These Chu Ying cronies who were scattered throughout the Jianzhou Jurchen and Aixin Jueluo families did not come forward to protect Du Du when he was repeatedly suppressed by Dai Shan and others, and did not even have the most basic maintenance;

Facts have proved that their perseverance is not in vain; when Nurhachi was dying of the strange poison in his body, he still couldn't let go of the eldest son Yimai that he had worked so hard to cultivate, and decided to give his eldest son a chance to return to the core of Jurchen power in Jianzhou.

How could Nurhachi really be ignorant of the inside story of the four major bailes and the five ministers jointly framing Chu Ying back then? The reason why he chose to give up his eldest son was purely because he did not want to and could not lose the support of the vast majority of the powerful people within his own forces represented by the five ministers.

If this were not the case, how could Nurhachi allow Chu Ying's cronies to hide in various places in Jianzhou Jurchen? And how could he make an exception to Chu Ying's son Dudu Nikan when he was dying? All this, in the final analysis, was Nurhachi's reparation and guilt for the death of his eldest son.

On the day that Dudu Nikan was given the title of Belle, Nurhachi, who had barely recovered a little spirit, had a secret conversation with Dudu in his military tent for about half an hour; after that, Dudu seemed to be expressionless when he walked out of the military tent, but the sadness between his eyebrows could not hide the eyes of those who cared about it.

Although no one knows what Nurhachi said to Du Du, it is also an indisputable fact that Du Du's strength increased sharply afterwards; even if there are all kinds of deliberate obstruction by Dai Shan, there are still more than a dozen people who lead the troops to join Du Du in the Blue Banner!

Huang Taiji, who had extremely strict control over the soldiers under his command, did not have a defection incident like the Zhenglan Banner with his blue flag; Nikan, who commanded 10,000 cavalry with blue flags, was Du Du's own brother, but this was a reality that Huang Taiji and Haoge had to face.

The two brothers Du Du and Nikan, who have experienced setbacks and suppression, will naturally hug each other very closely after becoming the real power of Jianzhou Baylor; if Dai Shan or Huang Taiji wants to deal with them, they must be prepared to pay the price, after all, their strength is not weak.

In addition to the arrangements for his three youngest sons and the two sons of the late eldest son Chu Ying, as well as Yue Tuo, the son of Daishan, and Haoge, the son of Huang Taiji, Nurhachi, who had taken precautions, also made a new adjustment to the Xiawuqi stationed in Langxiang Province.

Amin, the son of Shulhaqi, who has always been deeply loved by Nurhachi, was originally one of the four most powerful Beylers of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, and this time he was directly appointed by Nurhachi as the Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen alongside Eyidu, in charge of 10,000 Yellow Flag cavalry.

The yellow flag is Shulhaqi's troops, and Amin is Shulhaqi's most capable son, and for Nurhachi's appointment, Shulhaqi, who has the heart to train his son, really has no reason to refuse.

Together with Amin, he was appointed as the Lower Five Banners Gushan Ezhen, as well as the Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Mang Gurtai, the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Dege, the Zhengbai Flag Gushan Ezhen Abatai, and the White Flag Gushan Ezhen Abai, these four people are all Nurhachi's sons!

Unlike Amin's 10,000 cavalrymen with yellow flags, the other four sons of Nurhachi were each given only 5,000 cavalrymen, but the crux of the question is that those self-contained banner lords Beyler are willing to hand over their 5,000 cavalry to the new Gushan Ezhen?

Leaving aside the success of the yellow flag, the banner owner of the red flag, Bel Murhaqi, was Nurhachi's own brother after all, and he did not directly refuse the last order of his eldest brother before his death, but only selected 5,000 of the weakest cavalry and handed it over to Mang Gurtai.

The banner lord with the red flag, Beyler, was the leader of the Urgudai of the Sukesu River Protectorate, the banner lord of the white flag, Beyler, the leader of the Hunhe tribe, and the banner lord with the white flag, Beyler, was the leader of the Subahai of the Dong'e tribe; how could these three people hand over the cavalry of their own tribe?

As soon as they arrived at their new banner, they were put under house arrest by the three leaders who learned that Nurhachi had been poisoned and dying, and they did not even have a chance to leave the barracks.
