【141】How did Huang Taiji die?
The winds of the wilderness howled over the hills. In the sun, a flock of black crows hovered and hissed in the sky above Hetuala, "Coo, quac, qua......c", a heart-rending cry, like a call from the distant mountains. Is it calling for the old man named Nurhachi, or is it reminiscing about the glory days of the Golden Iron Horse? In the open field, no one knows, and no one understands, perhaps only the crows who saved the life of the old Han king know it.
Hetuala, the birthplace of the Manchu Dynasty, hovered in the air for a long time, and after letting out their last mournful cry, the crows finally returned to the forest. The whole mountain and wilderness returned to its original silence. "Hetuala" is a Manchu language, and Han means "Henggang", that is, a flat-topped hill. Its building is a city and a Guo style (inner and outer city style), and the city wall is made of earth, stone and wood.
According to historical records, Nurhachi's great-grandfather Fuman built 6 cities and distributed them to his 6 sons, among which Fuman's fourth son was called Jue Chang'an, that is, Nurhachi's grandfather, and the city he was assigned to was now Hetuara City. Nurhachi was born in Hetuara in 1559. As the land of the Manchu and Qing dynasties, Hetuala is an irreplaceable holy place in the hearts of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, where the dragon veins are located. Therefore, with the prosperity and development of the Qing Dynasty, it has been increasingly respected and valued. Not only did they set up a government here, but they also sent troops to garrison them. Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty even respected Hetuala as "the heavenly family Xingjing".
One day in September, when Huang Taiji came to the city of Hetuara again, his mood was depressed.
Although Jiannu controlled the entire northeast region and conquered the vast Mongolian steppe, it was vast and sparsely populated, and there were only a handful of large cities with a population of more than 10,000 virtues. But Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Guangning. Now, Shenyang and Liaoyang were slaughtered by Song Youliang, and Guangning was not suitable as a temporary capital, so Huang Taiji had to return to Hetuara in embarrassment.
The cries for revenge rose wave after wave, but with the efforts of Huang Taiji, the bannermen still agreed to wait until the autumn and take revenge after receiving the autumn grain. As a result, the blue flag of Jilharang continued to guard in Yizhou, monitoring Zu Dashou and Hong Chengchou in Jinzhou. Dolgon's Zhengbai Banner was stationed in Quang Ninh, Daishan's Zhenghongqi, and Hongqi's Zhenqi were stationed in Gaizhou and Fuzhou, and due to Duoduo's death, the Baiqi with Baiqi in Azige's control was stationed in Haizhou, and Haoge's Zhenglan Banner was stationed in Shengjing and Liaoyang, and was responsible for the aftermath of the two cities. And Huang Taiji himself led the two yellow flags to garrison Hetuala.
Huang Taiji walked into the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace with steps heavier than his heart. The Great Yamen of the Khan Palace is the birthplace of the Eight Banners, also known as the Golden Luan Palace, the Zun Horn Platform, which is the heart of Hetuala, located on the high hill on the north side of the ancient city. In November of the forty-third year of Wanli (1615 AD), Nurhachi changed the black flag of the original four flags of the Manchu people of yellow, white, red and black to blue flag in Hetuala, and added a total of 8 flags inlaid with yellow, white, red and blue. On the first day of the first lunar month of this year, Nurhachi, who was 58 years old and held the "Eight Banners", ambitiously called himself Khan in the Great Yamen of the Hetuala Khan Palace, and called himself Khan, and the Dajin Kingdom was born. Since then, a brand-new and magnificent first capital of the Qing Dynasty, Hetuala, has stood on the land of Kanto, and at the same time, the idea of entering the Central Plains and dominating the world has been brewed in Nurhachi's mind.
Huang Taiji walked into the main hall, and saw at a glance that the center was the throne of Nurhachi who ascended the throne and called Khan, in front of the throne was the dragon book case of Nurhachi's review and folding, and there were crane lotus wax tables, smokers and incense pavilions on the east and west sides of the dragon book case. Eight flags are placed on the left and right sides of the throne.
Huang Taiji's steps became slower and heavier, and he couldn't help but walk to the Khan's dormitory, which was adjacent to the Great Yamen of the Khan's Palace. The dormitory is divided into 4 buildings. The east room is the bedroom where Nurhachi and his beloved concubine Abahai lived, with two circles in the south and north, the middle two rooms are the places where the Khan held sacrificial activities, and the west room is where Nurhachi's 16 concubines live. According to historical records, the Khan King and the concubine sleep in the south kang in winter, sleep in the north kang in summer, there is a kang table on the opposite side of the kang, the brazier is the place where the Khan King smokes and tastes tea, there are 10,000 characters in the west, the south, the north and the west are connected on 3 sides, the Manchu language calls it Tuwa, it has two functions, on the one hand, it can solve the problem of sitting and lying down, on the other hand, it can heat up through the heat dissipation of the kang surface. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone, practical and convenient. But 16 concubines share a room, and when you think about it, it feels a little strange and incredible.
As he walked, Huang Taiji, who was in a trance, suddenly found himself somehow walking to the well of King Khan. The Khan King Well is located in the middle of the inner city, southwest of the Yamen Gangxia of the White Banner, and is the only well in the city of Hetuala. For more than 300 years, the soldiers and civilians in the city have used this water, so it has the reputation of "thousands of troops and horses do not drink dry". Because Nurhachi "built a yuan and called Khan" in this city, it was named "Khan King Well". According to the records of the Qing Dynasty, Nurhachi plundered tens of millions of gold, silver, and a large number of treasures. Because the Manchus were nomadic at that time and had a strong sense of reserve of food and property, this huge amount of treasure was secretly transported to Hetuala, the capital of the Dajin Kingdom at that time, and hidden in an ancient well known as the Well of the King of the Khan.
Because Shengjing was devastated, it would take a lot of money to rebuild it. If Huang Taiji wants to take revenge, he needs to rely on the power of the Mongolian tribes, which also needs money to envelop him. In short, Huang Taiji now continues to make a lot of money. I am afraid that the money in the treasury of Shengjing Mansion was moved away by the Ming army, even if it was not moved, and it would not be able to be cleaned up in a while and a half when it was pressed under the rubble.
"Yes~~Father~ For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, in order to carry forward your last wishes, forgive me for not being filial!" Huang Taiji patted on the marble well railing of the Khan Wangjing, "Come on, dig for me~~"
During his lifetime, Nurha wanted to pass the throne to Dolgon, but as soon as he died, the seal of the Khan fell into the hands of the 8th Emperor Taiji. Although Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, the gold and silver in the treasury were still in the hands of Abahai. Afraid of long nights and dreams, Huang Taiji gave an ultimatum to Abahai, who refused to eat hard and soft, either hand over all the treasures or be buried with Nurhachi. To Huang Taiji's surprise, Abahai actually chose the dead path of martyrdom for Nurhachi. After Abahai's death, Huang Taiji, who was preoccupied with the treasure, hollowed out his mind, and finally under his obscene torture, the officials of the Internal Affairs Office revealed the whereabouts of the treasure, that is, it was transported to the Khan Wangjing through the secret passage of the Internal Affairs Office. Therefore, the impatient Huang Taiji immediately ordered people to search for melons from the two entrances of the Khan Wangjing and the secret passage. However, the two groups of people who were sent to hunt for treasure disappeared without hearing from them, and the rope used to convey the message was somehow torn and broken by some animal.
Annoyed and angry, Huang Taiji ordered to dig three feet into the ground, putting on a posture that he would never stop until he dug up the treasure. Unexpectedly, as soon as the sergeants picked up their shovels and pickaxes and were about to dig, the originally clear sky suddenly became black clouds, and at the same time, a thick cloud of smoke billowed out of the Khan King's well.
"Huang Taiji~~" A female voice sounded, and this shout, the tone was extremely resentful and sad
Huang Taiji was immediately frightened, and saw Abahai, who was forced to death by himself, standing at the mouth of the well, his pair of bitter and complaining eyes staring straight at him
"You~~You~~~" Huang Taiji was afraid and anxious, and his mouth stammered for a while
"You rebel who forgets money and doesn't want to make progress. This treasure is the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty, which will protect the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and the eternal stability of the country. You come to dig now, and what you are digging is not a treasure, but the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty. ”
The frightened Huang Taiji immediately knelt on the ground and bowed, "Mother Concubine Atonement~~Mother Concubine Atonement~~~ I swore that I would never look for treasure again." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sky opened and the fog dispersed, and everything returned to the same as before. The former wellhead passage and the secret passage of the secret room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also collapsed in a roar at the moment when the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed
“………………”
"Your Majesty~~Your Majesty~~ Someone's coming, Your Majesty has fainted~~"
The frightened Huang Taiji was carried back to the dormitory by the minions, and that night, Huang Taiji fell unconscious, and the epistaxis flared up again, bleeding nonstop. Originally, there were imperial doctors in Shengjing who could be treated, but these imperial doctors were killed by Song Youliang on the charge of serving as a puppet official in the puppet dynasty. In the remote place of Hetuara in front of me, where can I find a doctor? As a result, the ministers were helpless and could only do it in a hurry.
Generally speaking, nosebleeds are not a problem, and it is okay to stuff them with a piece of tissue. But Huang Taiji's nosebleed is said to be quite weird, the flow is large, and it hasn't stopped, and it has been bleeding for several days, and there is no way.
Through modern medical analysis, Huang Taiji may have suffered from the following diseases before his death:
The first is high blood pressure, which is common in people who are obese, have a lot of salt intake, and are in a state of chronic stress. According to the portrait of Huang Taiji that can be seen at present, it can be seen that Huang Taiji is obese, and since the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty (1636), Huang Taiji ordered the Qing army to enter the customs on a large scale four times, and in order to command the battle, the spirit has been in a state of tension for a long time, so it is very likely that Huang Taiji has high blood pressure.
This is followed by nosebleeds, and high blood pressure is one of the common causes of nosebleeds. When the patient's blood pressure rises suddenly, the intranasal blood vessels can rupture before the intracerebral arteries rupture, causing nosebleeds. Some patients who come with nosebleeds have their blood pressure measured and know that they have high blood pressure, whereas before that, the patient had never known that they had high blood pressure. Nosebleeds can buffer blood pressure and prevent bleeding from internal organs, especially in the brain, and from this point of view, as long as the amount of bleeding is not large, nosebleeds are not a bad thing. Acute epistaxis caused by hypertension is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, and the bleeding is mostly unilateral or bilateral, and can be intermittent and recurrent, and may also continue to bleed heavily. The amount of bleeding varies, ranging from a small amount of bleeding to hemorrhagic shock, with paleness, sweating, cold limbs, and even life-threatening. After Huang Taiji was 50 years old, he had a large number of nosebleeds many times, and "epistaxis did not stop, and he was promised to use the bowl (bowl)", indicating that Huang Taiji's high blood pressure was already very serious at this time.
The third is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, it is known that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the source of many systemic diseases (including hypertension), according to clinical investigations, in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, more than 50% of people have hypertension, and 30% of patients with essential hypertension have obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. It can be seen from the portrait of Huang Taiji that after middle age, Huang Taiji is obese, has a short neck, and a small jaw, so it is likely that Huang Taiji also suffers from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
The above three diseases will bring a high risk of stroke, which is extremely fatal. According to the Korean history books, on the sixth day of the fourth month, "the Qing people said in the Shizi Pavilion that the emperor was sick and dizzy, and he was willing to get Zhuli and see a famous doctor." He ordered to send the acupuncture doctor Liu Da, the medicine doctor Pu and so on. (Records of the Li Dynasty, Injo, vol. 44, p. 12). It can be seen from this passage that Huang Taiji suffers from wind dizziness and uses bamboo li. Zhuli is mainly used to treat phlegm, fever, and boredom. Huang Taiji worked hard all his life, and everything was more onerous in his later years, coupled with the death of Concubine Chen, he was overworked, his mood was uncomfortable, and his phlegm and fire rose, and he was bound to be dizzy, blood and heat surged, and he was dizzy. Plain phlegm is heavy, which can easily cause stroke and sudden death. Therefore, various sources indicate that Huang Taiji is likely to have died of a stroke in history
Outside the main hall, the solid mountain of the Yellow Banner is Zhen He Luohui, Melle Zhangjing Baiyintu, the escort commander Leng Seng Ji, and the forward commander Turg; Gushan Ezhen Tan Tai, Mel Zhangjing Tulai, Sonny, the commander of the Guardian Army, and Ao Bai, the leader of the forwards, gathered together and looked at each other speechlessly for a long time
After a long time, Sony spoke: "It seems that the emperor's time is running out." ”
He Luohui also nodded and said, "Yes, we don't plan for ourselves, we have to plan for the two yellow flags, right?" ”
"Only when the emperor's elder brother succeeds to the throne can we continue to maintain the prosperity of our two yellow flags." Ao Bai said
"The emperor has 11 sons and 14 daughters, in addition to the eldest brother Su Prince Haoge, there are also the second brother Luoge, the third brother Luobo, the fourth brother Yebushu, the fifth brother Shuosai, the sixth brother Gaosai, the seventh brother Changshu, the eighth brother, the ninth brother Fulin, the tenth brother Taosai, and the eleventh brother Bogol. Among them, the second, third, and eighth elder brothers died early, and the rest of the elder brothers were all captured by the Southern Barbarians. Right now, only Big Brother Hauge and Eleven Brother Bogol are left. "When Sony counted the names of your brothers, he was like a treasure, but in the end, he could only spread his hands and express his helplessness
Bai Yintu said: "Of course, it is Prince Haute of Lisu who wants to stand, do you want to go to that little hairy child of Ladbrogol?" ”
Tan Tai said: "Okay, the eight of us swear together, if anything happens to Your Majesty, we will support Big Brother Haoge as the emperor together." ”
"Swear an oath~" Ao Bai was the first to point to the sky and said: "I swear to the sky that if the emperor returns to the sky, I will loyally support the big brother Haoge as the emperor, and if there are two hearts, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." After that, Ao Bai said to the other seven people: "It's your turn~~"
So, Sony and the other seven also swore to the sky one by one
