On the Rufeng Mountain overlooking the pine brocade, a large cowhide tent is built, and a pine long table is placed in the tent, and there is a row of chairs on each side, and the chairs are covered with tiger skins.

The generals of the Qing army in western Liaoning gathered here today to discuss important matters.

Dolgon and Daishan were the initiators of today's meeting, and Zilharang, Dord, Azig and others were also present. Today's meeting was quite important, and the Qing army in western Liaoning had already learned the news that the emperor had been defeated and killed, that Liaoyang had been lost, and that Haoge had withdrawn to Shenyang.

At present, what they have to consider is not how to march into Ningyuan and kill under Shanhaiguan, but how to rescue Shenyang and prevent Liu Jun from taking advantage of the victory to capture the capital of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, they have one more important thing to discuss before they officially return to the aid, and that is who will inherit the throne.

Since the time of Nurhachi, the heir to the throne has been jointly nominated by the beyles. And Huang Taiji died suddenly in battle, and he did not leave a will to clarify who would inherit the throne, and if a new emperor was not elected for a day, then the Qing Dynasty would not be able to stabilize for a day.

The eight banners of the Qing army, it turned out that Huang Taiji personally led the yellow and inlaid yellow two flags, and Huang Taiji's eldest son, Prince Su Haoge, led the blue flag, and the three flags led by their father and son were also called the three flags, and the three flags had a total of 117 Niu Lu, and the strength of their father and son was also the strongest. In addition, Kong Youde and other tens of thousands of horses with black flags have always been controlled by Huang Taiji himself.

The second is the two banners of the three brothers Dolgon, Dordor, and Azig, which are led by the three brothers, the positive white flag and the inlaid white flag, and their two banners have 98 oxen, which is second only to Huang Taiji and his son in strength among the kings.

At that time, Nurhachi's favorite was the three Dolgon brothers, and some people even said that Nurhachi wanted to pass on the throne to Dolgon, but Dolgon was still young at that time, although he was favored, he did not make an inch. In the end, he gave the two yellow flags he had received to Dolgon's brothers, Azig and Dordor, and his own army to Dorgon, saying that another banner would be set up for Dolgon in the future.

At that time, the Great Belle Yuying was deposed, and Dai Shanben was already equivalent to the quasi-prince, but in the end, he angered Nurhachi because of the ambiguity with Dolgon's mother Ahai. As a result, the power of the two yellow banners was taken away, and the two yellow banners were transferred to Azig and Dordor, and the pro-army was given to Dorgon.

As soon as Nurhachi died, the other princes immediately joined forces to force Dolgon's mother Abahai to be buried, and Daishan also supported Huang Taiji at a critical time, resulting in the three Dolgon brothers, who were originally the strongest, being the first to be excluded from the throne succession.

After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he reversed the two white flags in his hand with the two yellow flags in the hands of the three Dolgon brothers, and later took the blue flag and handed it to his son Hauge, so he had to use the three flags, and the two white flags of the three Dolgon brothers, who were the strongest, were replaced by two yellow flags. The actual drop is huge.

Now that Huang Taiji died suddenly in battle, leaving behind the emperor's throne, Dolgon said that it was false if he was not moved.

When Nurhachi died, he was still young and had no military achievements, and although he was supported by two yellow flags, he was eventually suppressed by the other brothers. But now, he has made many military exploits over the years and is famous. The two white flags of the three brothers are nearly 100 bulls, and their strength is only a little weaker than the three flags above.

However, if he wants to compete for the throne, Dolgon's biggest opponent is still Haoge in Shenyang, who was originally the banner owner of the Zhenglan Banner. And the two yellow flags led by Huang Taiji are likely to support Hauge. Once he has the support of the two yellow flags, Hauge's strength will be greatly increased.

Dorgon needs the support of the other banners.

Commanding the blue flag was Prince Zheng Zilharang, who has always been known as weak. Never taking a hard line on royal matters, Dorgon felt that he could have Zilharan's support.

Now the only thing that he can't figure out is Dai Shan.

At that time, Shi Shan was once a quasi-prince, holding two yellow flags. and acted as the state minister, but in the end he was deposed because of his mother Abahai.

Dolgon actually saw the incident very clearly.

Dolgon's mother was only twelve years old when she married Nurhachi, and his mother was quite beautiful and scheming, and gave birth to three brothers, Azig, Dolgon, and Dodor, for Nurhachi, and she was made a concubine two years after marrying Nurhachi, and was one of Nurhachi's five concubines.

Twenty years after marrying Nurhachi, she was divorced on the pretext that she had stolen her belongings.

In fact, this matter is very hidden, so deep that the position of the crown prince of Daishan was abolished.

The incident began when one of Nurhachi's concubines accused Abahai of secretly giving two bags of silver and some cloth to his lover for collection. Nurhachi ordered the people to investigate, and the results were true. What made Nurhachi even more annoyed was that whenever the ministers of Zhubeile were discussing matters or feasting at the Khan's house, the eldest concubine Abahai would wear heavy makeup and express a lot of kindness to Nurhachi's second son.

Further investigation revealed that there was indeed an ambiguity between Abahai and Daishan.

Nurhachi was furious, Abahai was dismissed, and Daishan was deposed. But in fact, although there is indeed an ambiguity between the two, there is also a reason. The reason is that at that time, the Jurchen marriage custom system was very complicated, polygamy and the step-marriage system were opposite, and the step-marriage system was that after the death of the father, the son married the mother-in-law who was not related by blood, after the death of the elder brother, the younger brother married the sister-in-law, and after the death of the younger brother, the elder brother married the younger brother and sister, etc.

This kind of inheritance marriage system is also because in the tribal system at that time, women were part of the property, and they were important assets, so after the death of the husband, the male family would not easily let the woman remarry to other tribes, which would take away a lot of property, and even take away young children. In order to avoid this situation, there is a system of succession, in which the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the younger brother succeeds.

It is precisely because of this system that all Nurhachi publicly said to Daishan, who was in the position of quasi-prince at that time, in his later years, that after a hundred years, he would entrust Abahai and other concubines and young children to Daishan to raise.

Abahai was in his early thirties, young and scheming. Since Nurhachi planned to let Daishan succeed to the throne and also planned to hand them over to Daishan in the future, she wanted to get on good terms with Daishan as soon as possible, but Nurhachi was very angry about this and hated that when he was still alive, Daishan and Abahai were eye-to-eye, ambiguous.

Abahai was too shrewd, and it hurt Daishan and herself. Later, although Huang Taiji took Abahai back, he was worried that she was too young and scheming, and that she would cause trouble to the country in the future, so he gave the kings his last words in advance, saying: "When I die, I must order her to be buried for me." ”

Later, as soon as Nurhachi died, the kings immediately conveyed Nurhachi's last order to Abahai and told her to kill herself.

But Dorgon knew that his mother had not hanged herself at all, but had actually been strangled by Daishan with a bowstring.

Dai Shan strangled Abahai to death, and he must have hated him for causing him to lose the crown prince back then. Because of the scandal that year, Dai Shan became the owner of the two red flags from the owner of the two yellow flags, and was later forced to hand over the red flag to his eldest son Yue Tuo. Because of the great decline in strength, in the end, after Nurhachi's death, Daishan was unable to take the throne, and he hated Abahai because he hated Wu and Wu did not support Abahai's son Dolgon, and finally supported Huang Taiji as emperor.

Now, once again, Daizen has become a major obstacle to Dorgon's ascension to the throne.

Dai Shan's eldest son Yue Tuo died of illness half a year ago, and now the red flag is held by Dai Shan, Dai Shan is also the owner of the two flags of Zhenghong and red, and the two red flags have 66 Niu Lu, and the strength is also very strong.

The cooks are serving, roasting golden roast lamb, and many delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Smelling the scent, Dorgon was still counting the forces of the battle for the throne.

On the three flags, two yellow flags plus the blue flag, one hundred and seventeen cattle records, now the blue flag is dominated by Prince Su Haoge.

Two white flags, ninety-seven oxen, the white flag is his Dorgon, and the white flag is his brother Dordor.

Two red flags, sixty-six Niu Lu, both flags are led by Prince Heshuoli Daishan.

Finally, the blue flag was led by Prince Heshuo Zheng Zilharang, and there were thirty oxen.

In the final analysis, the Eight Banners are still divided into four forces, and the four princes are the strongest.

Zilharang can be ruled out first, he is just Nurhachi's nephew, he will not come out to fight for the throne, and he will not be able to fight. Daishan is unlikely to fight for the throne again, and the only one standing in Dorgon's way now is Hauge.

However, Zilharang has been raised in the palace since he was a child, and he is deeply liked by Nurhachi, and he also has a very good relationship with Huang Taiji. He is not only one of the eight great and Shuobeile who jointly controlled the state politics in the Nurhachi era, but also one of the four princes in the Huang Taiji era.

His close relationship with Huang Taiji may make him more inclined to support Hauge.

"Prince Zheng, is your arm okay?" When Dolgon saw Prince Zheng Zilharang walk in, he asked with a smile, "I have a white medicine from the Southern Dynasty there, which is very effective in treating wounds, and I will send it to you later." ”

"Oh, then thank you Prince Rui." Jierharang replied, "I have been fighting geese all the year round, but I was pecked by the geese, his grandmother is a bear Wu Sangui, if it weren't for Liu Jiye in Liaodong, this time I would definitely break through Ningyuan and slaughter the Wu family." "As soon as he mentioned the broken arm, Zilharang couldn't help but be angry.

"Wu Sangui has been defeated one after another, and he is like a lost dog." While personally helping Zilharang cut off a fat leg of mutton, Dolgon said, "For now, we should first go back to the division to repel Liu Jiye, mourn and bury Your Majesty, and then, jointly elect a new emperor to stabilize the situation, and then we have a chance to destroy Wu Sangui." ”

"Elect a new emperor?" Zilharang held the knife in one hand and smiled, "Prince Su is not here, this matter still has to be discussed in Shenyang, right?" ”

"Haoge is far away in Shenyang, and now the Qing Dynasty soldiers and horses are all in Liaoxi, I think the new emperor should be elected as soon as possible, anyway, it is jointly elected by Zhubeile, even if Haoge is not there, it will not affect the result."

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Dolgon looked up, only to see six generals in iron armor and long swords at their waists breaking in.

"Sony, Turai, Aobai, Tan Tai, Gong Adai, Xihan!" Dorgon stood up and drank out the names of the six who broke in, "What do you want to do?" (To be continued.) )
