Nurhachi has 16 sons. It is not easy to choose an heir among so many sons. In fact, Nurhachi did not designate Khan's successor until his death. But put forward by eight baylor * * to manage the national political system, and the King of Khan was elected by eight baylor.
0 1 Before we know about Huang Taiji, let's know about the origin of Huang Taiji. Huang taiji's biological mother is Ye He Na Lashi, a princess of Yehe Department, and Nuerhachi's sworn enemy named Meng Gugege. Her cousin Buzhai once joined forces with the Nine-Power Allied Forces to attack Nurhachi and was finally killed. Yeh asked for the return of the body, and Nurhachi cut off half of the body and returned it to Yeh.
It can be seen that Huang Taiji's background is really bad, but he is a by-product of Nurhachi's booty. Therefore, Huang Taiji was born with a psychological burden, which means that he has to work harder than other brothers to get Nurhachi's appreciation and trust.
At the age of seven, Huang Taiji kept accounts for his family. You know, when he was a child, his name was not Huang Taiji, but Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji is a common way for Manchu people to name themselves, just like two dog and Sanyangzi of Han people. Taiji means fat man. Adding a color in front of it will give you a more authentic Manchu name. From the way Nurhachi named him, it can be seen that Huang Taiji was not taken seriously at first.
Huang taiji was born with reddish complexion, fine features, steady actions and dignified manners. He is very clever. He has heard everything and never forgets anything. He likes reading and studying. He is the only general in Nurhachi who can read. At the age of seven, Nurhachi asked him to manage the family accounts, which is rare among Nurhachi's sons.
Books opened Huang taiji's eyes and deepened his talent.
At the age of eleven, Huang Taiji's biological mother died. At the age of twenty, Huang Taiji went out with a knife. At the age of 33, Huang Taiji squeezed out his political opponents. At the age of 34, Huang Taiji acceded to the throne. After taking power for 17 years, he died suddenly at the age of 5 1 year. The cause of death remains a mystery.
How Huang Taiji ascended the throne has always been a mystery, but one thing is certain, Huang Taiji is indeed the most powerful son of Nurhachi. At that time, there were four giants in this ancient land of China.
The first is Emperor Chongzhen, a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. Although the rule of the country collapses, the insect with a hundred feet dies without being stiff;
The other is Shaanxi hero Li Zicheng, who came all the way to be king and claimed to be a million teachers.
There is also a Li Dan Khan of the Chahar Department of Mongolia, claiming to be 400,000 mercenaries;
Finally, Huang taiji.
These people are not fuel-efficient lights. As a result, Li Dan Khan of Mongolia died in Qinghai. Emperor Chongzhen forced the queen to die, cut off her daughter and hanged herself in Jingshan Park. Li Zicheng died in Jiugongshan at the age of forty.
Huang taiji and his descendants had the last laugh. Huang taiji became the biggest winner because of luck, but more than others. Not if you don't admire him.
Huang taiji has four great tricks in politics. First of all, he corrected his father's wrong ethnic policy. Nurhachi adopted a high-handed policy towards the Han people in his later period. Huang taiji thinks that this is not good, it will only arouse more fierce resistance of Han people, which is very unfavorable for entering the Central Plains. Of course, we don't expect Huang taiji to put forward the equality between Manchu and Han, but he proposed to be kind to Han people. Under the rule of Huang taiji, Han people are no longer slaves, but people. For those who escape, Huang Taiji also advocates letting nature take its course without severe punishment.
For Han officials, Huang Taiji gave some preferential policies. In the past, officials of the Han nationality were subordinate to Manchu ministers and had various restrictions. Even after their death, their wives had to become Baylor's slaves. Huang taiji said it was inhuman. Taking a series of measures to improve the treatment of Han officials and reusing counselor Fan Wencheng is an excellent example. When encountering difficulties, Huang Taiji asked, "What does Fan Zhangjing think?"
Secondly, Huang taiji has three great inventions. First, the old-school Huang Taiji was changed to Huang Taiji, then the surname was changed to Manchuria, and finally the country name was changed to Qing Dynasty. Don't underestimate these three renaming, which is tantamount to promoting your own group.
Third, the second Baylor Group was destroyed first, then the third Baylor Manggutai Group was destroyed, and then the big Baylor Daishan was hijacked, and the collective leadership system was abolished, and he became the protagonist himself. In addition, Huang Taiji further improved the Eight Banners system and established the Eight Banners Han Army and the Eight Banners Mongolian Army. Huang taiji also followed the example of the Ming Dynasty and set up "three hospitals, six departments and two yamen".
Finally, Huang Taiji learned his father's lesson, and realized the importance of the red gun only after he failed in several encounters with Yuan Chonghuan. The red cannon was originally named Red Easy Cannon, because it was made in the West, so it has such a name; But Manchu people are very unhappy when they see the word "Yi". Later, after seizing political power, they also mastered the right to speak and changed the Red Yi cannon into a red cannon. Knowing the importance of artillery, Huang taiji also opened a factory in Shenyang to imitate this kind of artillery.
These are all later things. What we are most concerned about now is how Huang Taiji stepped on Sanbaylor's head.
It can be said that in order to become the supreme leader, Huang Taiji made great efforts. Nuzhen, a nomadic people, did not have the eldest son inheritance system, which gave Huang Taiji a chance, although the opportunity was slim from the beginning. There was no clear inheritance system at that time. Nurhachi meant who had the ability to get it before his death, but there is no hard and fast standard for the ability, because everyone thinks he has the ability.
At that time, there were four Baylor in power. What Huang taiji has to do is to exclude the three baylers one by one. Nurhachi had imprisoned Shuhaqi before his death, and Erbel A Min was the son of Shuhaqi, so he was not qualified to get his hands on Khan, plus he made some mistakes himself. Sanbei Leman Gourtay is the fifth brother of Huang Taiji. He is short-tempered, impulsive and foolhardy. He killed his mother and invited her pet before, so it was very contemptuous. Such people have no prestige and will not pose a competitive threat to Khan.
The biggest obstacle for Huang Taiji to ascend to the throne is the Grand Belle Daishan. Daishan has both qualifications and prestige, and can inherit Khan's position. Dai Shan not only made many achievements in the military, but also held strong military power in her hands, and she was tolerant, elder and won the hearts of the people. Nurhachi also relied heavily on Daishan during his lifetime, so it was almost impossible for Huang Taiji to compete with Daishan for the position of Khan. But Huang taiji is a man with a deep heart. In his mind, he thinks that a kind person like Dai Shan is not worthy to be the supreme leader.
Dafu gave Daishan a meal, and Daishan ate it foolishly, but although Huang Taiji received the meal, he didn't eat it, that is, neither side offended him, neither Dafu nor Dad. This program is quite well done, as if to tell the world that I am a man who knows everything and understands morality. In this case, during the ups and downs of the aristocrats in the Qing Dynasty, Daishan's prestige and social status suddenly dropped a lot, and the chips for the sweat position suddenly decreased a lot. Therefore, Xiao Fujin reported Da Fujin, which made people suspect that Huang Taiji was behind the scenes.
In the eleventh year of the mandate of heaven (six years tomorrow, 1626), on August 11th, Nurhachi died of depression due to the defeat in the battle of Ningyuan. Princess royal Abahai was buried with two ordinary princesses. All Baylor's words were combined to seek the throne, and Huang Taiji was praised as sweating like a pig.
On September 1 day, Huang taiji was sweating in the main hall, burning incense to the sky, and announced the following year as the first year of Tiancong.
This is how Huang Taiji climbed to the top step by step.
In the early days of the administration, the four Baylers sat side by side and handled military affairs, which was equivalent to the collective leadership system.
This must make Huang Taiji very unhappy, and it is only a matter of time before other groups are destroyed. Huang taiji easily knocked out the second baylor and the third baylor. Daishan is a smart person. Seeing that something was wrong, he offered to quit the leadership.
You see, it's no accident that Huang Taiji can take the upper position. This is an out-and-out powerful political star.
