Outside Shanhaiguan, there is Dorgon's big tent.
Dorgon, who had a square head and a big face, was dressed in a military uniform and stared at the marching map on the table. His long fingers fiddled with his wild beard from time to time, and his expression was quite solemn.
"Shanhaiguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we can't persuade Gao Di to surrender, all we can do here is to show off!"
"It's just that if Haoge captures Datong, I will be the one to make his wedding dress!"
Dorgon shook his head slightly and let out a long sigh.
Then he took out a piece of silk that had frayed corners but was clean and tidy in the middle, and unfolded it carefully.
There is a painting on the silk of a Mongolian girl with bright eyes and good eyesight, riding a horse with great grace and looking forward lovingly.
Dorgon stared at the person in the painting tenderly, then reached out to touch the smiling face of the person in the painting, and murmured: "Da Yu'er, Da Yu'er, you will really cause problems for me!"
It turns out that the person in the painting is Bumu Butai, the late Huang Taiji's concubine Zhuang and the biological mother of Fulin, the current Jurchen leader.
The reason why Dorgon has this portrait is because they were a couple who were more in love than gold many years ago.
Dorgon and Bumbutai met when they were young. At that time, Dorgon did not have the majesty of the current regent.
At that time, he was not only weak, but also a little shy, and was often teased by Bumbutai.
Dorgon was a little angry at first, but after hanging out for two days, the two became very close.
Later, as they grew older, their ignorant feelings gradually sprouted, and their relationship became better and better.
When they were young, they naively thought that this kind of beauty would last forever, but they didn't know that there was always a pair of hateful eyes staring at them.
The owner of those eyes was Huang Taiji, the Jurchen master who let them divide their efforts and waste seventeen years.
It turns out that Huang Taiji's mother had a good relationship with Nurhaci when she was alive, so Huang Taiji was deeply loved by Nurhachi.
Even after being drunk once, Nurhaci once held Huang Taiji's hand and said that he would pass the throne to him in the future.
But after Huang Taiji's mother passed away, Nurhaci's favor for him weakened.
Fortunately, Huang Taiji was smart and had a photographic memory. He was the only one among the Nurhaci generals who could read and write.
In addition, he was extremely brave, his arrows were not missed, and he repeatedly made military exploits in the battles following Nurhaci, and he regained Nurhaci's love.
In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, after Nurhaci established Dajin as the Khan, he and Daishan, Amin, and Manggurtai were named Dabeile, who took turns on a monthly basis to assist in handling government affairs.
Originally, Huang Taiji's attention had always been on Daishan, but as the three Dorgon brothers grew up, especially when Nurhaci became old, he was almost obsessed with Dorgon's biological mother Abahai, which made Huang Taiji feel too much. Ergon was also one of his threats.
During a follow-up, Huang Taiji accidentally saw Bu Mu Butai, and was immediately shocked. From then on, he became more jealous of Dorgon.
However, Huang Taiji did not show it. Instead, he deliberately won over the Dorgon brothers and gained their trust.
Later, through interactions with them, I discovered the unusual relationship between Abahai and Daishan.
It turns out that according to the custom of step-marriage in Houjin, the next Jurchen lord can marry the young Abahai.
Nurhachi originally intended to do good deeds, but because he did not have a suitable opportunity, he did not make the matter explicit, but the three of them were all aware of it.
However, Abahai considered that her tribe had been wiped out by Nurhachi, and now her only backer was Nurhaci.
In order to prevent her, Dorgon and others from suffering after Nurhachi left, she expressed her kindness to Daishan in advance, hoping to have a place in the future.
After Huang Taiji found out about this, he immediately ordered Xiao Fujin Tayincha to report the matter to Nurhaci.
Although Nurhachi had this intention, he did not expect that the two of them would act so quickly. After finding out the evidence, they "abandoned" Abahai on the charge of hiding gold and silver, covering up the family scandal.
Through this incident, Huang Taiji not only defeated his most favorable competitor Daishan, but also squeezed out potential rival Dorgon, and has been in power ever since.
However, Huang Taiji did not expect that Nurhaci had a soft spot for Abahai. A year later, he once again appointed Abahai as the great minister, which made Huang Taiji, who thought he had the throne, felt threatened.
Fortunately, Nurhachi is old and Huang Taiji has matured.
So this time he didn't make any small moves, he just waited quietly.
During this period, Dorgon couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness and was about to propose to Nurhachi to marry Bumbutai, but was dissuaded by Huang Taiji.
And encouraged him to make meritorious deeds first and then start a family, and Dorgon naively believed it.
Dorgon then followed Nurhachi in the north and south, but because of Huang Taiji's love and protection, he did not gain any military exploits.
Just when Dorgon was worried about when he would be able to marry Bumbutai through meritorious service, Nurhaci died of his injuries, and Huang Taiji inherited the throne.
Dorgon was still happy for Huang Taiji, but he didn't expect that the first thing Huang Taiji did after he came to the throne was to force Abahai to be buried as a sacrifice according to the late emperor's last words.
Despite Abahai's strong resistance and Dorgon's pleading, Huang Taiji still coldly refused.
Dorgon also tried to resist, but his power was simply vulnerable to Huang Taiji. In the end, he could only watch Abahai being buried.
After Dorgon cried bitterly, he went to Horqin with a wounded heart, hoping to find comfort in the arms of the beautiful girl. Unexpectedly, what awaited him was another bolt from the blue.
It turns out that as early as last year, Huang Taiji asked Nurhaci for an order to establish Bumbutai as a side Fujin on the grounds of winning over Horqin.
At this time, Dorgon, who should have been in great pain, suddenly woke up. He neither cried nor made a fuss, but returned to the military camp very calmly.
From then on, he was loyal to Huang Taiji and never mentioned Bumu Butai.
Even if he saw Bumbutai at a family banquet, he would never look at her twice, as if he had never known him before.
Although Bumbutai was still deeply in love with him at that time and even wanted to elope with him, he sternly refused.
Because he knows that only by surviving can he win.
And as long as he wins, everything that originally belonged to him will come back.
Sure enough, seventeen years later, he won.
Although it took a long time, he won in the end.
Just when he was about to take over the wealth left by Huang Taiji, especially Bumbutai, Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge suddenly jumped out and wanted to compete with him for the throne.
Dorgon was almost mad at the time. Just when he was about to make a desperate move, Bumbutai came.
Bumbutai not only came, but also put forward a condition that he could not accept, supporting her son Fulin to succeed to the throne.
Dorgon naturally refused, but when he saw Bumbutai's gentle eyes, he felt a little lost.
In the end, he agreed to Bumbutai's request because he really couldn't bear to part with that gentle embrace.
Although he lost the position of Khan, he got the position of regent, and he was content with the tenderness he had waited for seventeen years.
Just when he was about to enjoy life, Bumubutai followed the advice of Fan Wencheng, a veteran of the three dynasties, and asked him to send troops to defeat the Ming Dynasty.
Dorgon was gentle for the first time, so he didn't want to leave. However, Bumubutai was too gentle, so he agreed against his will.
But this time he sent troops, it was the beginning of his troubles.
