Dorgon and Xuan Ye were both Huang Taiji's biggest rivals. However, Huang Taiji did not take action himself except secretly provoking Daishan's hatred for Dorgon.
At this time, it is not good to dance too much. After all, although Nurhachi is seriously ill and dying, he is not dead yet! It was enough for Daishan to help him deal with Dorgon alone, there was no need for him to run out too.
Facing Dorgon, Huang Taiji needed to use some means. But facing Xuan Ye, Huang Taiji only needs to play steadily. Huang Taiji has advantages over Xuan Ye in all aspects. He just needs to maintain these advantages well. Once he adds too much, it will easily lead to bad consequences.
Although Xuan Ye is capable, his military prowess is his biggest shortcoming. These are troubled times. If you want to be in power, you can't do it without military merit and by being unable to control those generals.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Although Nurhaci was seriously ill and dying, he spent the last part of his life observing his sons.
Dorgon was indeed deeply loved by him. In Nurhaci's view, Dorgon's temperament was more like him, and he would definitely be like him in the future and would definitely become a great hero.
However, he didn't like Dorgon's contact with powerful military commanders these days. After all, Nurhachi was also an emperor. As an emperor, there were some taboos that could not be violated, and Dorgon contacted Army Lieutenant General Xiao at this time, which happened to violate Nurhaci's taboos.
Of course, in fact, these military lieutenant generals were not contacted by Dorgon, but by his younger brother Duduo. Although Duduo was secretive enough, if Nurhaci couldn't notice it at all, wouldn't he be too useless as an emperor?
Although it was Dodo who did it, Nurhaci took it for granted that it was Dorgon who instructed Dodo. These two brothers have the same mother and they usually only wear a pair of trousers, and Duoduo follows Dorgon's lead.
It can be said that although Duduo wanted to help his brother Dorgon this time, it had the opposite effect. Not only did he not help Dorgon, but he also cheated him.
It has to be said that Nurhachi does give birth to sons, and those sons are basically brave and good at fighting. The same is true for Duduo. Although he is not as invincible as his brother Dorgon, he has also suffered on the battlefield. He suffered many defeats, but his military ability was unquestionable and he was called by Qianlong "the greatest military merit among the founding kings".
In April of the sixth year of Chongde, Huang Taiji sent Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Wuying Azige and Duduo to Jinzhou to replace Dorgon and launched the Songjin War. In this battle, Duduo besieged Songshan Chang with Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao. It lasted half a year. In March of the next year, Duduo led his army to break through Songshan and captured Hong Chengchou alive. Later, Jinzhou guard Zu Dashou also surrendered. This battle made Duduo famous.
After Huang Taiji died and Dorgon took over the military and political power, he regarded the two brothers Azig and Duduo as humerus and entrusted them with important tasks, which made Duduo shine in the unification war after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.
First, the three Dorgon brothers defeated Li Zicheng's peasant army in the Battle of Shanhaiguan in the first year of Shunzhi. Then, under the guidance of Wu Sangui, they went south and captured Beijing. Soon after, the Qing Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing and began to The rule of the Central Plains region.
Duduo was ordered by the regent Dorgon to attack Li Zicheng's peasant army in Shaanxi with his brother Azige from north to south. In the first month of the second year of Shunzhi, Duduo occupied Xi'an, and Li Zicheng led the remaining troops to flee to the Huguang area. The Dashun regime was basically eliminated. Subsequently, Duduo's troops headed south to the Jiangnan area, aiming directly at the Hongguang regime in Nanjing.
In April of the second year of Shunzhi, Duduo led his troops to capture Yangzhou, executed Shi Kefa, the governor of Nanming, and created the appalling "Ten Days in Yangzhou", which opened the gates of Nanming. Because of this bad deed, Duduo was criticized by the world and was known as Executioner.
On May 16, Duduo captured Nanjing, captured Emperor Hongguang alive, and then escorted Emperor Hongguang to Beijing. Emperor Shunzhi personally welcomed his uncle Duduo, who had returned in triumph, and promoted him to Prince Heshuo Deyu.
In the third year of Shunzhi, Duduo led his troops to suppress the rebellion of Tengjisi and Tengjite of the Mongolian Sunit tribe. In the fourth year of Shunzhi, he was named the auxiliary prince of Shu Deyu. At this time, Duduo's prestige reached its peak, and even Became the actual number two figure in the Qing court.
This is a standard executioner, but for the Qing Dynasty, he did make an indelible contribution to the unification war.
However, compared to Dorgon, apart from his military talents, Duduo was inferior in other aspects. And this time, a big hole was dug for his brother Dorgon.
Apart from Dorgon, among Huang Taiji and Xuan Ye, Nurhachi is indeed more optimistic about Huang Taiji.
Just as Huang Taiji thought, Xuan Ye suffered too much in terms of military merit. If he wanted to succeed, he really needed someone with sufficient military merit and sufficient prestige in the military.
Only in this way can we suppress the generals and stabilize the situation as quickly as possible. Especially when Temujin is still eyeing the remaining two forces in the grassland, what is required at this time is even more stability.
If Xuan Ye is chosen, given his ability, it may take a certain amount of time to stabilize his rule. However, Xuan Ye's foundation is too poor, and there will definitely be a turbulent transition period in between. And during this period, Temujin may very well catch the opportunity!
After another half month, Nurhachi still failed to survive. After Wanyan Aguda and Yelu Abaoji, another grassland hero was buried.
In the end, Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, and the second Qing emperor came to power. From then on, a new leader began to take charge of the Qing court.
Although Dorgon and Xuan Ye were very unwilling to accept Huang Taiji's succession, the matter was a foregone conclusion. Even if they were unwilling, they could not change this fact.
Moreover, these two are people who understand the general situation. Although they are not worried, at this time, the Qing Dynasty must not be in chaos, and they must not allow the Qing Dynasty to have civil strife at this time.
Once they have a problem here, Tuoba Tao will be unable to survive alone, and Temujin will probably be given the opportunity to defeat them one by one. The foundation must not be destroyed in one day.
Although Chu Ying was still jumping up and down, she seemed to want to do something. But once he got there, no one wanted to jump up and down with him. Secondly, Huang Taiji's confidants such as Obai, Fan Wencheng, and Hong Chengchou were not easy to deal with. Once Chu Ying dances happily, if she breaks through Huang Taiji's bottom line, I'm afraid it won't end well in the future!
