Chapter 758 Uncertain Factors

Fifteen years have passed in a blink of an eye. For more than ten years, Dorgon has been busy fighting for the Qing Dynasty; At that time, there were Fujin and three side Fujin.

Being so busy all day, naturally he seldom misses his mother, and only tries to avoid drinking alcohol during the ten days before and after her death day.

When Roto mentioned it today, the past 15 years ago couldn't help but flooded his mind again.

I vaguely remember that year was the 11th year of Destiny, and Dorgon was only 14 years old at the time. The old foolish king Nurhachi went to attack Ningyuan, but he was bombarded by Yuan Chonghuan. on a boat on the Hun River.

And the most favored concubine Ulanara Abahai, who accompanied the old Han Wang Nurhachi for more than [-] years at that time, was the biological mother of the three brothers Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo.

At that time, Abahai thought that his three sons had two banners of soldiers and horses, namely Zhengbai and Xiangbai, and he was the concubine of the old Hanwang, with a high status, so he wanted to take advantage of being with Nurhachi at the end. Fabricate the old Han Wang's last will, that is, "Dorgon succeeds to the throne and assists the government on behalf of the good".

It's a pity that the 37-year-old Hou Jin's mother is still a game away after all, and she has never done anything to the 35-year-old Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji didn't care about the old Hanwang's death in Abahai's hands at all. He secretly joined forces with Daishan, Mangguertai, Amin and other four beiles, led his troops straight into Abahai's harem, and also took out a share. Old Han Wang's last words: "When I die, I will be killed."

Under the coercion of their four great belors, Abahai was forced to be helpless. After praying to the four belors to treat his young sons Dorgon and Duoduo kindly, he agreed to be buried under the order of the first emperor.

In fact, Huang Taiji, who is as cunning as a fox, knows very well in his heart that as long as Abahai is put to death, the force that has the most chance to compete with him for the Khan position will lose its backbone. In this way, it can restrain Daishan and control her power three sons.

Since then, Dorgon has been forbearance, he served Huang Taiji cautiously, in front of outsiders, he never dared to reveal the slightest thought of his mother, for fear of spreading to Huang Taiji's ears.

However, in the first two or three years, he cried in secret a few times, and often dreamed of his mother when he was asleep at night. More and more, the yearning for my mother has gradually faded.

At this time, the food was served, and Dorgon simply ate the food, but for some reason, he thought again that Huang Taiji had been feeling unwell recently, and often had nosebleeds, maybe within a few years...

He thought about it in his heart: Which beautiful concubine would Huang Taiji want to be buried?
Who will he want to succeed him as emperor?
Today, the most favored by Huang Taiji is the concubine Chen who lives in Guanju Palace. The concubine's name is Borjijit Hailanzhu. She only married Huang Taiji when she was 26 years old, but she can still be favored and loved by Huang Taiji alone. The name of beauty can be seen from this.

Concubine Hai Lanzhu gave birth to a son when she was in Chongzhen for ten years. Huang Taiji wanted to make this son his heir at that time, but unfortunately he died before he was one year old, and he didn't even have time to get a name.

After the son's death, Hai Lanzhu's body also deteriorated with her mood. Huang Taiji was also worried about Concubine Chen's body, so she stayed in Shengjing and did not go to the front line of Songjin to command the battle.

Although Huang Taiji has some love for his sons and daughters, he is not an infatuated fool who only loves beauties and does not love the country. Although he is always concerned about the concubine Hai Lanzhu in his heart, he is also always concerned about the Songjin war.

Dorgon didn't think much about it, but felt that these things were too far-fetched!
However, he still didn't want Huang Taiji's eldest son, Prince He Shuosu, Hauge to inherit the throne of Khan in the future. If Hauge did inherit the throne of Daqing Khan, his situation might be very dangerous.

Suddenly, the shadow of Concubine Zhuang Boerjit Bumbutai appeared in front of his eyes again, and a faint smile appeared from the corner of his eyes unconsciously.

Although Bumbutai is not as delicate and charming as Hai Lanzhu, he is also very beautiful, and looks very dignified, with infinite affection in his eyes.

Huang Taiji canonized the concubines of Chongde Five Palaces, also known as the Five Great Fujins. Among them, Hai Lanzhu and Bumbutai are still a pair of sisters, and the queen of Qingning Palace who ranks first is also called Horqin Borjiji of the Monarch Fujin Te Zhezhe is the aunt of the two of them. This relationship is a bit messy!

…………

Since late July, Qing Emperor Huang Taiji has focused all his attention on the Songjin battlefield.

He personally read the military newspapers sent from the front line of Songjin almost every day. He was very concerned about the situation of the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, especially after he got the report a few days ago that the reinforcements from the Ming Kingdom appeared near Songshan City, he became even more concerned.

However, Huang Taiji was not in a hurry to send reinforcements to the Jinzhou battlefield. He was still waiting, quietly waiting for the army of Hong Chengchou, governor of Ming Jiliao, to enter Songjin.

But at this moment in Shengjing City, there is a tense atmosphere hidden under the surface calm. Every day, envoys with his secret orders will ride out of Shengjing City at night or at dawn, and go to various parts of Liaodong and Mongolia to mobilize troops. Horse food.

After Huang Taiji took over the position of Khan, in order to get rid of the control of the government by the four major Baylors and banner owners, he appointed a large number of energetic young talents, and used them to gradually empty out the old Manchu relatives who fought in the army.

Now, almost all the generals in the court and the banners have been replaced by young nobles, from princes and county kings to Baylor and Beizi, from Gushan, Mailer, Jiala to Niulu, Pashiku and so on.

These young aristocratic generals were in awe and loyalty to Huang Taiji. No one dared to hide the truth from him on important matters. Even if there were occasional small concealments, they were often reported afterwards. He has always been clear about rewards and punishments, which makes people feel convincing.

In fact, Huang Taiji still admires Dorgon as a younger brother. Whether it is the ability to govern the country or the ability to command troops in combat, they are all outstanding among the younger generation of the Qing Dynasty.

A few months ago, because he led the troops away from Jinyuan, he demoted Dorgon to the title of county king, just to punish him lightly for his ineffective siege of Jinzhou. Dorgon's prince title.

Huang Taiji paid special attention to the battle of Jinzhou. For this reason, he planned for several years and besieged Jinzhou City for more than a year. He even invested almost half of the country's young men there.

He hoped that the battle in Jinzhou would be won according to his ideas, and that Daming would be defeated in one fell swoop to help the troops, so as to clear the way for the next step to march south of the Great Wall and seize Daming.

If he can capture Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, and Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, alive, and force them to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, it will be even more satisfying for him.

Recently, due to the large-scale rescue of Jinzhou by the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty, it is rumored that the frontier troops from all over the Ming Dynasty have gathered in Ningyuan and will soon go to the front line of Jinzhou, which caused quite a stir in Shengjing City.

And there are many rumors among the people, how powerful the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasties were, and the grain ships kept coming day and night.

They also said that Hong Chengchou, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Dynasty, was a ruthless man. He commanded the frontier army in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty to suppress thieves, and even the giant bandit Li Chuang was killed by him. He has a strategy in his chest and a heart like a rock, but he won the trust of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty and the love of all the generals, so he should not take it lightly.

At the same time, among the courtiers, some Manchu and Han officials worried that if Hong Chengchou rescued Jinzhou this time, the morale of the Ming army would be greatly improved. From then on, the places to the west of the Liaohe River would be restless.

Although Huang Taiji lives in the palace, after all, he has many eyes and ears outside, so he is very clear about the worries and rumors of the subjects in Shengjing.

Once when he was in court, he said to his officials: "What I worry about is not that Hong Chengchou led the 10,000+ reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty to rescue Jin with all his strength, but I am even more afraid that he will not send all the troops.

If he drives all the troops to the city of Jinzhou, we will win the first battle, so that the Southern Dynasty will no longer be able to send troops to fight against me outside the pass, and even the pass will be empty and powerless from now on. "

Huang Taiji's confident language is by no means simply cheering up the officials in the court, but really expressing his true thoughts in his heart.

His spirit was formed in the long-term wars and victories. He fought with the old Han Wang Nurhachi when he was a teenager, and especially since he inherited the throne at the age of 36, he has been constantly expanding his territory. Create a great cause, one victory after another.

The old foolish king Nurhachi rebelled with thirteen pairs of armor, and with a lifetime of bloody battles, he brought together small tribes on the land of Liaodong and created a powerful kingdom.

Huang Taiji not only inherited and carried forward the outstanding characteristics of the old slave Nurhachi, but also became more mature in both political and military aspects. He constantly recruited and reused Han people to help him complete the work of establishing the country, and actively absorbed the highly developed Han feudal culture for him. Used.

He was even more far-sighted than the old slave Nurhachi. Not only did he stop the policy of indiscriminate killing of the Han people, but he also gave the Han people the hope of surviving in Liaodong and developed the productivity of the Liaodong Jurchens.

In the era of his rule, the Jianzhou Jurchens had become the masters of the Liaodong land. They enslaved other Jurchen tribes and Han people, settled down in the Liaohe River Basin, and became the main body of the agricultural economy. At the same time, they also developed various wars and life. Required handicrafts, including making cannons, etc.

Of course, the development of farming and handicrafts is inseparable from the large number of Han slaves who were captured, plundered, and surrendered. Their obedience, diligence, and wisdom, as well as their knowledge and experience in farming production, played an important role and became completely free labor.

During the reign of Nurhaci, the establishment of slaves was still at the end of slavery and was beginning to transform into a feudal social system, but it was Huang Taiji, the current emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who really completed this transformation.

At the same time, in terms of military affairs, it was during his reign that Jiannu completely conquered and unified the various tribes of Mongolia. Even Mongolia, the outer vassal, expressed its submission. He even changed the title of Jurchens to Manchurians.

After unifying Liaodong and conquering Mongolia, he sent troops to invade North Korea, forcing North Korea to break away from the vassal relationship with Ming, and eventually became a vassal state of Qing, providing Qing with troops and food, and supporting it to resist and invade Ming.

It was only at this time that the Qing Dynasty completely relieved the worries from both Mongolia and North Korea, and was able to further recruit their troops and resources to concentrate on dealing with the Ming Empire.

The success of the Qing Dynasty during the reign of Huang Taiji, as he himself boasted: "From the northeast coast to the northwest coast, during this period, the land where dogs and deer are used, and the land where black foxes and sables are produced, do not do farming, fishing and hunting. The custom of life, the Erut tribe, and even the source of the Onan River, and the countries far and near, are submitting."

Since then, the Qing Dynasty has become the most powerful enemy of Ming Dynasty, so powerful that even if it wants to plunder around the capital, it is powerless to stop it.

The Qing emperor finally became the co-lord of the Manchurians and Mongols, and indirectly ruled the Kingdom of Korea. Under Huang Taiji's rule, the Qing Dynasty was growing further, and its threat to the Ming Empire was even higher than that of the bandits.

Now, Huang Taiji is in the prime of his 50s. Although his body is slightly fatter, he looks graceful and stable from the outside, and his energy is also very strong. His face is flushed and his eyes are bright. Although he is only 50 years old, he has already had ten sons and fourteen daughters.

However, Huang Taiji had a secret illness. He sometimes had chest tightness, dizziness and headaches, and often had a lot of nosebleeds. According to historical records, he suffered from epistaxis. According to Zhang Cheng, he probably also suffered from high blood pressure and other heart problems. Diseases of the vascular system.

Now, it is the most glorious moment of his dominance in his life. As long as he defeats the 10,000+ reinforcements of Daming under the city of Jinzhou, he can take advantage of the situation to capture Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and even Shanhaiguan, and then capture the entire Ming Dynasty.

Because of his understanding of Ming Dynasty and his confidence in the warriors of the Qing Dynasty in the military, he showed full confidence in both actions and conversations, with a smug attitude.

When he received the urgent report from Jinzhou from Dorgon and Hauge, he knew that Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, had personally led ten general officers and had led an army of [-] to [-] to the Songshan area.

And just as soon as the battle was fought, Hong Chengchou pressed all his troops on top, killing and wounding more than [-] armored warriors of the Qing army, and even killed two Gushan Ezhens in battle, and even King Gongshun was injured in this battle.

Rufeng Mountain and Songshan Ridge in the south of Jinzhou City are all occupied by the Ming army, and they are attacking the Qing army's defense line outside Jinzhou City day and night. Huang Taiji believes that the time has come. The Jinzhou defense line will also be breached by the Ming army.

He immediately decided that on August 3th, he would personally lead the [-] people who were newly summoned to Shengjing to set off for the front line of Jinzhou in a starry night.

Just at this moment, an accident happened, making this decision uncertain!
