Bai Jin nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and it is estimated that he finally understood why Qing Taizu worshipped the ancestors of the Bai family as gods on the one hand, and also worshiped the Bai family as the king of Liaodong, but on the other hand, he asked the mausoleum guards to beware of the Bai family and not to disclose the content of the holy record.

Qing Taizu was worried that Bai Gu or the descendants of the Bai family would see the clues from the Shengxing Record, and Turzhan continued to translate, initially Qing Taizu was just eager to know the location of the Dragon Vein Temple.

Through the records of the Sacred Records, Qing Taizu roughly grasped the area where the Dragon Vein Temple was located, but gradually Qing Taizu realized another more serious matter.

"What's the matter?" Gong Jue asked.

"Aging! , Grandpa Tai found that he was aging with the passage of time. ”

Turzhan said that looking at the golden book and saying that if there was no promise made by Bai Gu before, it would be normal to be born, old, sick and die, but Qing Taizu did not want to be the same as mortals, but since the construction of the Dragon Vein Divine Tomb began, Bai Gu no longer asked about other things, even if it was to conquer the city, he would no longer participate.

Although the Qing army was strong, it did not reach the point where it could completely defeat the Ming army, and without Bai Gu's help, the campaign launched by Qing Taizu was not as powerful as when it unified the Jurchens before.

Qing Taizu wanted to meet Bai Gu several times, but Bai Gu did not participate in everything except for the construction of the Dragon Vein Temple, so Qing Taizu could only hope that the temple would be completed as soon as possible, so that Bai Gu could fulfill his promise.

But Qing Taizu didn't just wait, and at the same time took precautions to worry that the secret of the Dragon Vein Temple would be covered up by Bai Gu, after all, it was the land of the Dragon Vein of the Great Qing Dynasty, so Qing Taizu secretly used the construction of Yongling and Shengjing Imperial Palace to secretly hide the secrets about the Dragon Vein Temple.

And among the princes, he chose the most important Dolgon to inherit this secret, but Qing Taizu thought it through, if Bai Gu could make all the people involved in the construction of the temple forget everything, it would explain that Bai Gu did not intend to let anyone know about the secret of the temple, including Qing Taizu.

He feared that one day he would forget this crucial secret, just like the soldiers who built the temple, so he informed Dorgon in advance and told Dorgon that he would not be able to ascend to the Ninety-Five.

"Ahh Dolgon can't be the emperor, it turned out to be the decision of Qing Taizu! Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback. It can be seen from the literary history that among the many princes of Qing Taizu, the person he most valued and optimistic about is Dolgon. ”

"That's why you can't make him emperor." Ye Jiuqing said.

"Why?" Tian Ji asked.

"Whether it is the emperor or the ordinary people, parents all hope that their children can be safe, the emperor has many heirs, but there is only one who can inherit the throne, but he will not choose the most important one." Ye Jiuqing smiled and said.

"Uncle Ye, why don't I understand what you say, that's the throne, how many brothers have turned against each other in the past dynasties in order to take over the heir, since the most important thing for the Qing Taizu is Dolgon, why don't you pass the throne to him?" Tian Ji asked.

"Qing Taizu is on guard against Baigu, and at the same time, he is also protecting Dorgon." My voice was calm.

"Protection?" The palace lord was puzzled.

I smiled and said unhurriedly, Bai Gu promised immortality to Qing Taizu, if it is fulfilled, then there will only be one emperor in the Qing Dynasty from beginning to end, and there is no need to pass on the throne at all, if Bai Gu does not fulfill his promise, after the death of Qing Taizu, no matter who ascends the throne, in Bai Gu's heart, this new person who ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Honor, must have learned about the Dragon Vein Temple from the mouth of Qing Taizu.

"Oh, so that's the case, Qing Taizu didn't let Dolgon inherit the throne because he didn't want Bai Gu to notice him." Ye Zhiqiu suddenly realized.

"Qing Taizu left the secret of the Dragon Vein Temple to Dolgon, in fact, it is the greatest importance to him, you must know that compared to the country, the Dragon Vein Temple is probably more important than thousands of times." Ye Jiuqing also nodded and said.

"Why?" Tian Ji still didn't figure it out.

"You don't want to think about it, even the gods value the place so much, it means that there are far more important things in the Dragon Vein Temple than the world and power, Qing Taizu told Dolgon this secret, just hoping that one day, Dolgon can find this place." Ye Jiuqing said.

"It's really better to count than people, Qing Taizu never thought that the secret he had worked so hard to pass down would be interrupted because of Dorgon's accidental death." Xu Xinrou was full of emotion.

"And then?" I asked Turjan. "What else is written in the golden book?"

"Regarding the fact that Bai Gu is a god and has been assisting Qing Taizu to seize the world, because Bai Gu has spoken first, so this secret is only known to Qing Taizu, and Qing Taizu has been waiting for the day when the temple is completed, but something happened that changed everything." Turzhan said.

"What happened?" Bai Jin asked.

"The Qing army entered the city to conquer the city, although it was resisted by the Ming army, but it has been going well, after the Qing Taizu finished building the Shengjing Palace and the holy palace here, he originally planned to stay in the Shengjing Palace and wait for the completion of the dragon vein temple of Baigu, so as to obtain the gift of immortality, who knows, the former army returned, and was counterattacked by the Ming army in Xingcheng, and the Qing army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties."

"Xingcheng!" As soon as Ye Zhiqiu heard the name of the place, his eyes immediately lit up. "Could it be that I'm talking about the battle of Ningyuan."

"You know this place?" I looked at Ye Zhiqiu and asked.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, saying that this was a very important battle in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, because it took place in Ningyuan, so literature and history called it the Battle of Ningyuan.

At that time, after the Qing army won the battle of Liaoshen, it conquered more than 40 castles such as Guangning, and tried to enter Shanhaiguan, and the Ming defenders in order to ensure that Shanhaiguan was not broken by the Qing army, and the troops held the military town of Ningyuan, which was a barrier at Shanhaiguan.

Ningyuan City is located about 100 kilometers outside the Shanhai Pass, and Ningyuan City is small and cannot be compared with Shenyang, Liaoyang and other important towns outside the customs guarded by elite Ming troops.

Moreover, the defenders were less than 10,000 people, but because the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Ming army effectively prevented and injured the Qing army in Ningyuan.

"When the great grandfather heard this, he was furious, and he personally commanded the 130,000 Eight Banners Army out of Shengjing, and crossed the Liao River to the west to approach Ningyuan." Turzhan said.

"The gains and losses of one city and one pool, why does Qing Taizu care so much?" Tian Ji asked.

"Behind Ningyuan is Shanhaiguan, which is the gateway to the Central Plains, as long as you take Shanhaiguan, you can drive straight in." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"At that time, Ningyuan was already a lonely city, the defenders were less than 10,000 people, and the Qing Taizu personally commanded an army of 130,000 to attack, and there were strong enemies in front of him and no reinforcements behind him, this was not an evenly matched battle at all, why was it recorded in literature and history?" I asked.

"Because the Ming army defeated the army of Qing Taizu in Ningyuan, it was also the only time that the Ming army defeated the Qing army, which is known as Ningyuan's great victory." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"Defeated the Qing army?!" Tian Ji frowned and thought about it. "The Ming army is less than 10,000 people, even if it relies on the terrain to defend the city, but it has to face the siege of more than 100,000 Qing troops, how can it be possible to defeat the Qing army?"

"Yes, it's not easy to defend the city, let alone defeat the Qing army." I also asked curiously.

"Although Ning Yuan's great victory has left a thick record in literary history, the main reason is that it defeated the Qing army for the first time, and the morale of the army swept away the long-accumulated decline. Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said. "But there is no detailed record of the specific process of Ning Yuan's victory and how he defeated Qing Taizu."

"It is mentioned in this golden book." Turzhan said.

We hurriedly asked, Turzhan translated according to the content recorded in the golden book, and Qing Taizu actually left the beginning and end of the battle of Ningyuan on such an important golden book, which shows that this battle has extraordinary significance for Qing Taizu.

After Qing Taizu led the army to Ningyuan, five miles away from the city to cross the mountain and sea avenue, set up camp to cut off the connection between Ningyuan and Guannei, set up a large camp in the north of the city, the second morning, Nurhachi launched an attack on the city, ordered the Qing army to push the car, transport the hook ladder, the foot cavalry swarmed to attack the southwest corner of the city, ten thousand arrows shot at the city, the city wall arrows are like rain notes, and the hanging card is like a hedgehog thorn.

The Ming army in the city relied on the strong city, fought to the death and did not retreat, the Qing army was killed and wounded, the Qing Taizu was already the year of Ershun, but the horse had never been defeated in his life, seeing that Ning Yuan could not attack for a long time, he personally led the army to attack the south of the city, and used the chariot as a cover, and dug a big hole in the square of two zhang square between the two guards at the corner of the city gate, and the city of Ningyuan was in danger like a tired egg.

"At this time, reinforcements suddenly appeared at the head of the city."

"Reinforcements?!" Ye Zhiqiu was taken aback. "Ning Yuan was already a lonely city at that time, and the nearest defenders were in Shanhaiguan, and Ning Yuan had not been reinforced at all, how could reinforcements appear?"

The more Turzhan looked back, the more surprised he became: "It's still the elite Lei Yingwei of the Ming Dynasty." ”

I suddenly looked at Turzhan and was somewhat shocked: "Lei Yingwei? What happened to help Ning Yuan? ”

What I hadn't figured out before, when I and Konoe Quan were in charge of the Ming Dynasty, and we ambushed and severely damaged the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace at Wang Gongchang, it was an important time to take advantage of the victory to pursue and search for the whereabouts of that ship.

At that time, I had the East and West Factories and the North and South Zhenfu Divisions in my hands, as well as the Ming army that could be deployed at any time, and I gathered the power of the whole country to explore the whereabouts of the Nine Dragons Boat in the Moon Palace, and at the most critical time, how could I allow other things to interfere, so I haven't figured it out, although I don't care who sits on the country, but at that time, I will definitely not let the Qing Dynasty disturb the situation.

Qing Taizu has hit Shanhaiguan, and I and the guards actually didn't have any response, this is really not like me at that time, and now I heard Turzhan translate the contents of the gold book, and I actually led Lei Yingwei to help Ningyuan.

No wonder Ye Zhiqiu said that there was only good news about the Battle of Ningyuan, but there was no detailed literary and historical record, presumably I did not let the story of the Battle of Ningyuan be recorded at that time.

But I'm still very puzzled, since I led Lei Yingwei to appear in Ningyuan, it means that I didn't plan to let the Qing army enter the customs, but why, in the end, the Qing Dynasty was able to enter the Central Plains?
