After Dorgon obtained the actual power of the emperor, he began his own path of fighting against dissidents. The first is Haug.
Hauge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji. He is brave in battle and once killed a Baylor from the Zalut tribe with his own hands. Huang Taiji had a total of eleven sons. Except for Hauge and Fulin, who he later established, the rest of his sons were unknown. Huang Taiji intended to cultivate Hauge, and he also appointed Hauge as the Minister of Administration of the Ministry of Household Affairs. When he proclaimed himself emperor, he named Hauge Prince Su. In the seventh year of Chongde, he was ordered to "adjudicate the common government" together with Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Rui Dorgon, and Prince Wuying Azige.
The Jurchens were still yellow, and Huang Taiji handed over the Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner to those who supported Hauge. On the sixth day after Huang Taiji's death, the ministers of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner swore an alliance at the Daqing Gate in Shengjing, and then took two pictures The "protectors" of the flag, with their bows and arrows ready, claimed to "protect" the princes, princes, Baylor, Beizi, and ministers of political affairs, who went to the Chongzheng Hall to discuss the establishment of the king.
At this time, Qixinlang Sonyi, the most supportive of Hauge, and Batulu Obai, the most rude, only dared to emphasize the selection of one of Huang Taiji's sons, and did not dare to name Hauge. What they thought was that only Dole If Gon does not ascend the throne, only Hauge can take the position among the princes. Dorgon randomly asked them to exit temporarily.
Under the stalemate, Dorgon remained calm, but Duduo was impatient and said directly, "Brothers, if you don't want to be the emperor, you might as well let me be the emperor. Anyway, my name is in the name of Taizu (Nurhaci)." It is also found in the imperial edict." Dorgon said, "The name of Prince Su (Hauge) is also found in Taizu's imperial edict." Duoduo said, "Then let's appoint the oldest Prince Li (Daishan)!"
After much deliberation, the youngest Fulin was selected, and Dorgon and Jierhalang were promoted as "auxiliaries". The reign name was changed to Shunzhi. In April of the first year of Shunzhi, someone reported to Dorgon that Hauge was saying behind his back that Dorgon was treacherous. Dorgon was furious and demoted Hauge to a commoner.
Next is Daishan. He was the second son of Nurhachi. Dorgon was twenty-nine years younger than Daishan. Daishan was a complete elder among the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. When he was in the forty-fourth year of Wanli (the first year of Tianming), Nurhachi had just started to call himself a khan, and he was named the first of the four great beile, called "big beile". After Nurhachi's death, due to various considerations, he strongly recommended Huang Taiji to succeed him as Khan. Huang Taiji also respected him very much and let him sit in the court together with the other two Baylors. But later, Amin was convicted and imprisoned, and Mang Gurtai was convicted and served as Baylor. Daishan's smooth and sophisticated side showed again, and he invited Mang Gurtai to sit on both sides of the hall. Whether this is for his own consideration or for Huang Taiji's consideration of strengthening his power, it is a wise move.
After Huang Taiji went to Khan and proclaimed himself emperor, he granted Daishan the title of "Heshuo, Brother, and Prince Li". After the death of Huang Taiji, Daishan summoned the princes, princes, Beile, and Beizi to swear that Fulin would be the emperor, and Jierharang and Dorgon would be appointed as assistants.
Daishan's eldest son died near Jinan during the fourth battle against the Great Wall.
The second son, Shuotuo, followed Daishan in the expedition and was granted the title of Baylor due to meritorious service. However, he later followed Amin and was found guilty of abandoning Yongping. He was deprived of his title and conquered Guo County. He was also named Gushan Beizi.
The third son Saharin, despite his own military exploits, still urged Huang Taiji to abandon Khan and proclaim himself emperor, but he died before Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor. He left behind his son Adali, Daishan’s third-brother grandson.
This Adali was generally trying to obtain greater benefits, or maybe he was crazy. When Huang Taiji died, he joined forces with Shuotuo (his second uncle) to prepare to elect Dorgon as emperor.
When Dorgon learned of this incident, on the one hand he considered that he had actual imperial power, and on the other hand he thought that he could use this incident to attack Daishan's political group and reputation. Dorgon found Daishan and informed Daishan of the matter. Considering that Dorgon had already learned the whole story, Daishan must be prepared, and he could only comply with Dorgon's preparations and requirements, so he When Dorgon proposed to report Shuotuo and Adali together, Daishan was forced to agree, and Shuotuo and Adali were also executed.
Did Dorgon collude with Shuotuo and Adali and betray his allies?
Perhaps Daishan discovered the conspiracy of his son and grandson, hated him deeply, and killed his relatives out of justice?
The key is that Daishan himself did not have much strength at that time, and all the power belonged to Dorgon. Dorgon held the two flags of Zhengbai and Xiangbai, and also won the support of the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang flags who had always supported Hauge, mostly for the sake of Showing the power in his hands, excluding dissidents, and showing his prestige, no one among the ministers dared to have a different voice from then on, so he killed the son and grandson of the senator Daishan.
After defeating Hauge and Daishan, Dorgon's status in the court reached its peak. As for whether he married Huang Taiji's widow and Shunzhi's mother, Borzijit Bumbutai. Well, after all, it is an indisputable fact that he later called himself "Emperor Father and Regent". Let's see next time.
