Live as if you were dying tomorrow, and seek knowledge as if you would never die.

- Mahatma Gandhi (the founding father of modern India, India's greatest political leader, founder of Gandhiism)

The successive recovery of Belfort County and Pomerian Damus County, and the surrender of more than 30,000 cavalry of the two White Banners, while completely ending the New Eight Banners, also gave Bai Feng the opportunity to create the Eight Banners of the Dragon and continue to lead the army north to recover the province of Mulhouse.

Needless to say, the opportunity to create the Tianlong Eight Banners is needless to say, in addition to the 17,700 elite cavalry commanded by the four Kerd who have been completely loyal to Bai Feng, the remaining more than 100,000 Eight Banners have surrendered to the army, but they are all excellent soldiers for Bai Feng to form the Tianlong Eight Banners.

Of course, Bai Feng did not intend to reactivate all the new Eight Banners, and insisted on Bai Feng, who was expensive but not expensive, believing that too many of the cavalry of the New Eight Banners were unqualified soldiers, and the real elite were only some of the cavalry of the two yellow flags and the two red flags.

The two blue flags of Du Du and the Nikan brothers, and the two white flags of Soergo and Subahai, were either newly rebuilt, or their combat effectiveness was not very strong; coupled with the heavy losses of the Tianlong army under Bai Feng, the two blue flags and the two white flags were almost overwhelmed.

In view of this, if Bai Feng really planned to form the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon, the Yellow Banner of Dolgon and the Red Banner of Urgudai, as well as the Yellow Banner and the Red Banner of the Dragons without a Leader, these four banners would become the main force of the formation of the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon.

As for the two blue flags and the two white flags, compared to their large number but weak combat power of the surrendered cavalry, their influential banner owners are the real concern of Bai Feng; Bai Feng, who has worked hard to cut off the Shulhaqi brothers, does not want to sit idly by and watch the Dolgon family dominate.

The reactivation of the new Eight Banners Banner Lord, Dolgon Belle, who was the first to lead the army to surrender, was an indispensable part of Bai Feng's process of forming the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon, and Dolgon's own special status meant that he had the qualifications to become the Jurchen Khan of Jianzhou.

In a sense, Dolgon's elder brother Azig and younger brother Dordor, ostensibly loyal to Dolgon's eldest son Dudu Nikan, both possessed this qualification, but in reality only Dolgon was the rightful successor.

Whether it is Nurhachi's intention to divide power before his death, or Huang Taiji's jealousy of Dolgon, it is enough to show how special Dorgon's identity is;

As the Jurchen Khan of Jianzhou, the head of the Aixin Jueluo family, and the owner of the Zhenghuang Banner, Nurhachi, the most important courtier in his life was the five ministers with great prestige, but the most trusted courtiers in his life were Aobai, Fucha Hengtai, and Turge.

Among the three personal guards, the strongest Aobai was left by Nurhachi to Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge, Fucha Hengtai, who was the most powerful behind him, was left by Nurhachi to his fourteenth son Dolgon, and Turge, who was an old friend of Chu Ying, was left by Nurhachi to Chu Ying's eldest son Dudu.

Judging from Nurhachi's arrangement alone, his eighth son, Huang Taiji, his fourteenth son, Dorgon, and his eldest grandson Dudu, seem to be the heirs to the Khan throne that he intended to belong to, and among them, the oldest and most powerful Huang Taiji is actually the most powerful Khan heir.

To the surprise of the Jurchen elite in Jianzhou, Nurhachi would confer on Chu Ying's son Du Du and Nikambel the title of Duke and Nikanbel when he was dying, and transferred them to the two blue banners to serve as Gushan Ezhen;

The Zhenghuang Banner, which has always been owned by Nurhachi himself, is not only the strongest flag among the Jurchen Eight Banners, but also a symbol of the status of the Jianzhou Jurchen Khan.

The sudden death of Nurhachi permanently deprived this suspenseful question of the opportunity to be verified, and the full support of the Jianzhou Jurchen clan magnates such as Dai Shan, Abai, and Tang Gugu, as well as the Jianzhou Jurchen military elites such as Eyidu and Fei Yingdong, finally made Huang Taiji sit on the throne of Khan.

After Huang Taiji sat on the throne of Khan, why was Dolgon able to go south with an army of 100,000 men with the Yellow Banner and the Two Blue Banners? In the final analysis, it was not because the bannermen of the Yellow Banner and the Two Blue Banners still insisted that Dolgon, the object of their allegiance, was the real Khan?

Never underestimate the role of reason, rule without the basis of law can not win the approval of the common people and the support of the elite, this is the value of Dolgon, and the reason why Shulhazy and Murhazy accepted him in the first place.

Regardless of whether Shulhazy and Murhazy really supported Dolgon's seizure of the Khan's throne, at least the existence of Dolgon or not had a huge impact on them, all of which showed that Dolgon's value was definitely far greater than that of other banner lords.

White Peak, who was determined to suppress Dolgon, did not formally summon Dolgon until he led his army to recover Belfort and Pomerian Dams, and at the same time, Dudu and Nikan, who also led the army to surrender, were repeatedly received by White Peak.

People have ambitions, especially those who are in high and powerful positions, almost no one is not ambitious, as Chu Ying's eldest son, Du Du and Nikan naturally can't be ordinary people without ambition, their ambitions even exceed Bai Feng's highest expectations!

Bai Feng, who wanted to use Du Du Nikan to completely split the high-level forces of the New Eight Banners, in the process of several exchanges with Du Du and Nikan, after intentional or unintentional temptation, found that Du Du and Nikan had the ambition to win the position of Jurchen Khan in Jianzhou!

It turns out that Dudu Nikan, who is ambitious enough, is not a useful pawn, but he is a very handy-stirring stick, and as long as the two of them remain in the two blue flags of the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Dragon, Dolgon will not be able to control the two blue flags one day.

In order to prevent Du Du and Nikan, who had low eyes and low skills, from doing something stupid to catch him off guard, Bai Feng gave them the opportunity to regain their high position, but also forced them to pay some price in order to get the high position and power they wanted.

As long as Dudu Nikan is willing to send someone to report some of Dolgon's henchmen who are trying to escape, and then they will execute these Dolgon's henchmen with their own hands, Bai Feng will believe in their sincerity.

Unlike the sincere allegiance of Kerder and others, Du Du and Nikan, who have endured humiliation to this day, will not believe their loyalty and oath, Bai Feng will not believe it;

The day after Dudu Nikan attacked a dozen of Dorgon's henchmen, the grumpy Azig and the breathless Duoduo joined forces to fight against Dudu Nikan, who was gradually regaining his freedom, before they could escape from their captives.

Dudu Nikan, who already had an independent military tent in the captive camp, would not be without guards to 'protect' them, and how could Azig and Doduo, who had not a single soldier under their command, break through the guards' interception and break into Dudu Nikan's military tent?
