Chapter 7: Suppressing Haoge to bully the good
After gaining de facto imperial power, Dorgon began his own path against dissent. First of all, Hauge.
Hauge was the eldest son of Huang Taiji, who fought valiantly and once killed one of the Baylors of the Zarut tribe with his own hands. Huang Taiji had a total of eleven sons, except for Hauge and the later Fulin, the rest of the sons were unknown existences. Huang Taiji intended to cultivate Haoge, and the minister of the Ministry of Household Management also let Haoge serve, and when he was called the emperor, Haoge was named Prince Su. In the seventh year of Chongde, he ordered him to "adjudicate the affairs of the concubine" together with the prince of Zheng, Zilharang, the prince of Rui, Dolgon, and the king of Wuyingjun.
On the sixth day after the death of Huang Taiji, the ministers of the two banners of Zhenghuang and Huang took an oath to form an alliance at the Daqing Gate in Shengjing, and then patted the "protectors" of the two flags, bent the bow and arrows, and claimed to "protect" the princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi, and ministers of parliament to ascend the Chongzheng Palace to discuss the establishment of the monarch.
At this time, Qixinlang Soni, who supported Haoge the most, and Baturu Aobai, who was the most rude, only dared to emphasize the selection of one of the sons of Huang Taiji, and did not dare to name Haoge, thinking that as long as Dolgon did not ascend the throne, only Haoge could serve among the sons. Dorgon randomly asked them to quit for a while.
Under the stalemate, Dolgon calmed down, but Dordo was impatient, so he said directly, "If my brothers don't want to be emperor, you might as well let me be the emperor." Anyway, my name is also in the edict of Taizu (Nurhachi). Dolgon said, "The name of Prince Su (Haoge) is also in the edict of Taizu. Duoduo said, "Then let's appoint the oldest Prince Li (Daishan)!" ”
After much deliberation, the youngest was elected, and Dolgon and Zilharang were elected "auxiliaries". The era name was changed to Shunzhi. In April of the first year of Shunzhi, someone told Dolgon that Hauge was saying that Dorgon was treacherous behind his back, and Dolgon was angry and cut Hauge to be a concubine.
Then there is Dai Shan, he was originally the second son of Nurhachi, Dolgon is twenty-nine years younger than Dai Shan, Dai Shan is in the royal family of the Qing family, and he is completely a patriarch. When he was in the forty-fourth year of Wanli (the first year of the Mandate of Heaven), Nurhachi had just begun to call Khan, and he was named the head of the four great beylers, called "Great Beylers". After Nurhachi's death, because of various considerations, he tried his best to recommend Huang Taiji to succeed him to the throne, and Huang Taiji also respected him very much, allowing him to sit in the court with two other Baylors. But later, Amin was convicted and imprisoned, and Mang Gurtai was convicted of being Baylor, and Dai Shan's sleek and old-fashioned side showed again, and he invited himself to sit on both sides of the hall with Mang Gurtai. This is a wise move, whether it is out of self-consideration or thinking about Huang Taiji's strengthening of power.
Huang Taiji went to Khan to call the emperor, and named Daishan as "Heshuo, brother, and Prince Li". After the death of Huang Taiji, Daishan summoned all the princes, the county kings, Baylor, and Beizi, and swore to make Fulin the emperor, and appointed Zilharang and Dolgon as auxiliary ministers.
Dai Shan's eldest son died near Jinan during the Fourth Battle of the Great Wall.
The second son, Shuotuo, followed Daishan to conquer and was awarded the title of Baylor, but later followed Amin to abandon Yongping's guilt, cut the knight, captured Lao County, and was named Beizi, in Jinzhou because of the fear of the enemy, he cut the title again, and soon was named Gushan Beizi.
The third son, Sakha Ling, was not close to his own military exploits, and still persuaded Huang Taiji to abandon Khan and become emperor, but died before Huang Taiji became emperor. left behind his son Adali, that is, Daishan's third grandson.
This Adali was probably for greater gain, perhaps also mad, and when Huang Taiji died, he united with Shuotuo (his second uncle) and prepared to push Dolgon as emperor.
When Dolgon learned of this, on the one hand, he considered that he already had actual imperial power, and on the other hand, he thought that he could use this matter to attack the political group and prestige of Daizen. Dolgon found Daishan and informed Daishan of the matter, Daishan considered that Dorgon had learned the whole story of the matter, and he must be prepared, and he could only comply with Dolgon's preparations and requirements, so when Dolgon proposed to report the matter of Shuoto and Adali together, Daishan was forced to agree, and Shuoto and Adali were also executed.
Did Dorgon collude with Shuoto and Adali to betray their allies?
Maybe Dai Shan discovered the conspiracy of his son and grandson, hated it deeply, and killed his relatives in righteousness?
The key is that Dai Shan himself did not have much strength at that time, and the power was on Dolgon, Dolgon held the two flags of Zhengbai and Bai, and won the support of the Zhenghuang and Yellow Banners that had always supported Haoge, most of which was to show the power in his hands, exclude dissidents, and show his majesty.
After striking Hauge and Daishan, Dolgon's position in the court has also reached its peak, as for whether he married the widow left by Huang Taiji, Shunzhi's mother, Borzigit Bumubutai, after all, it is an indisputable fact that he later called himself the "regent of the imperial father", and look at the next time.
