In fact, in the history of slavery, there are many examples of "transferring houses to accept step marriages".

For example, after the death of the old slave Nurhachi's first wife, Tongjia Haha Nazhaqing, he remarried Fucha Gun as his side wife.

Fucha Gundai was originally the Fujin of Wei Zhun, the grandson of Suo Chang'a, the third ancestor of Nurhaci, and gave birth to a son to Wei Zhun named Ang Ala Yin Ang Ala.

When Nurhachi's direct descendant Haha Nazhaqing died of illness, Fucha Gundai's first husband, Wei Zhun, had just died in the war. She was worried about remarrying, and she seemed to see a glimmer of light.

Gundai not only has outstanding beauty, but also is the youngest daughter of Jianzhou Youwei Chief Mangse Duzhuhu. She has a prominent family support, and she is also very smart and capable. For this reason, Wei Zhun is very fond of her. .

Unfortunately, Wei Zhun did not have that blessing. He died in a tribal dispute at a young age, resulting in Gundai becoming a widow at a young age.

At this time, Nurhaci's direct descendant Fujin also died of illness. In accordance with the custom of the Jurchen society at that time, brother's wife died after brother's death, so Gundai took his son and remarried Nurhaci and became his successor Fujin.

He also gave birth to two sons, Aixinjueluo Manggurtai and Aixinjueluo Degelei, and a daughter, Aixinjueluo Mangguji.

Even when Huangtai Ji changed his name to emperor in the Yuan Dynasty and issued a strict order prohibiting "marrying concubines, aunts, sisters-in-law, nephews, etc.", this custom has been established for a long time, so how can it be prohibited by a strict order?

On the original historical line, there are two very obvious real historical records.

One is that during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's father and regent Dorgon once married his nephew-in-law.

This matter is clearly recorded in the "Records of the Qing Dynasty". In the first month of the seventh year of Shunzhi, the emperor's father and regent Dorgon punished his nephew, Prince Su Hauge, for a minor crime. After being imprisoned, he even died in prison. .

Then, he married Hauge's Fujin Borzigit Dulema and became his princess Fujin.

The second is Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty. As an emperor, he also failed to obey his father Huang Taiji's explicit orders.

According to the memories of Tang Ruowang, a German missionary who was working in the Qing Dynasty palace at that time, Emperor Shunzhi fell in love with Dong E, the concubine of his younger brother, Prince Xiang Bomu Boguoer.

This "fiery love" made Emperor Shunzhi sleepless all day long, and also made his younger brother, Prince Xiang Bomu Boguoer, depressed, and eventually became depressed and ill.

In July of the 13th year of Shunzhi, Prince Bomu Boguoer of Xiang died of illness. Only a little over a month later, Emperor Shunzhi couldn't wait to welcome his sister-in-law, Concubine Dong E, into his emperor's harem and named her a good concubine.

Of course, the story about Emperor Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E has always been a mystery. There are so many things in ancient and modern times, how can you remember everything in detail?

In short, Concubine Dong E did not enter the Shunzhi Emperor's harem until she was 18 years old, which was no longer in line with the age for selecting beautiful girls. Therefore, she should not have entered the palace through the formal channel of drafting girls.

According to the customs at that time, girls who were not selected as show girls were usually already married by this age. Therefore, it can almost be concluded that she was probably selected into the palace for the second time after getting married.

This situation is very similar to that of Huang Taiji's concubine Hai Lanzhu of Guan Sui Palace. They both entered the palace at the same old age, leaving future generations with endless reveries and conjectures.

But no matter what, Huang Taiji and Fulin, the father and son emperors of the Qing Dynasty, had a unique love!

At this moment, it is not surprising that Dorgon would have such thoughts. Perhaps many people have this or that thought in their hearts.

No matter how bizarre and unrealistic these ideas are, they will only become known to the world after they become facts. Otherwise, they are just fantasies that exist in other people's minds and are completely unknown to outsiders.

"Da Yuer, you will be mine sooner or later!"

Dorgon faced the bright moon in the sky and roared to himself secretly, venting some of his dissatisfaction with Huang Taiji.

…………

In the military camp of the Xuanfu Army of the Ming Dynasty at the foot of the loess ridge, the lights were brightly lit, and the tempting smell of meat had not completely dissipated. It was obvious that they had just finished dinner not long ago.

Although the Chinese army camp has thousands of troops, many accompanying military warriors, and many strong civilians, it does not appear chaotic. Except for groups of patrolling sergeants, there are few people walking around casually.

However, the left side of the camp is a little more lively. There is a wooden fence separating it from the outside. There are sergeants guarding and patrolling both the gate and the fence wall, showing the difference between the inside and the outside.

This is where the Xuanfu Army's Tiger Guard Camp is stationed. It has been three days since they returned from the Longwu Navy fleet after intercepting and killing the slave chief Huang Taiji. Zhang Cheng has not assigned them any more tasks, but has allowed them to recuperate and recuperate. .

In this battle, more than 600 soldiers from the Huwei Battalion crossed the Xiaoling River to fight, but only more than 500 soldiers came back. Among these more than 500 people, there were dozens of corpses of dead soldiers and nearly a hundred wounded. By.

It can be said that the losses were heavy. It was the first time since the formation of the Tiger Guard Battalion that more than a hundred elite soldiers were lost in a battle.

Although this battle created the reputation of the Tiger Guard Camp, with almost equal forces fighting against the Tatar elite Baya soldiers, they were able to achieve a casualty ratio of one to two, which indeed rectified the name of the Ming Dynasty and the Xuanfu Army. .

However, when facing the remains of their former comrades, they still felt bursts of sadness. Maybe war is like this. When fighting on the battlefield, they can completely ignore life and death, but once the war is over, they are full of sadness of losing their comrades.

For this reason, Zhang Chengcai specially gave the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Camp a holiday to rest. They were not allowed to leave the camp, and nothing else was prohibited. Moreover, the wounded soldiers in the Tiger Guard Camp were all treated in the camp and were not transferred to the Medical Camp. middle.

Although Zhang Jintai had not fully recovered at this time, he was already able to move without any hindrance. At this time, he was allowed to officially join the Tiger Guard Camp and became a true night warrior.

Zhang Cheng was extremely satisfied with the performance of the Tiger Guard Battalion in crossing the river to intercept the slave chieftain Huang Taiji. He would personally come to visit the wounded soldiers almost every day these days and encourage the soldiers.

After all, the Tiger Guard Battalion is Zhang Cheng's personal guard unit. If it were under the command of other general soldiers, it would be equivalent to a servant team.

Moreover, Zhang Cheng even intended to incorporate the retainers under Yang Guozhu, the former commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, into the Tiger Guard Battalion after the Jinzhou War, and also select loyal, brave, and combat-savvy cavalry from other battalions, and eventually integrate the Tiger Guard Battalion into the Tiger Guard Battalion. Expanded to 2,000 to 3,000 troops.

His purpose is to make the Tiger Guard Camp the true core combat force under his command!

As long as he firmly controls the elite cavalry force in his own hands, and has complete control over the production and deployment of food, wages, armor, guns and other materials, Zhang Cheng will not be afraid of the selfish intentions of his subordinates and his way.

After all, it is an eternal truth that 'people's hearts are weak and snakes swallow elephants'.

There are always some people who think that the achievements of a team are all gained by charging outside alone, and that they are the indispensable core of that team.

They will never understand that the real core is the person who will never charge forward and show his face, but sits at the back and strategizes!

Of course, if someone in your team wants to go out and develop, wants to prove his ability, and venture into the dock alone.

Zhang Cheng will not deliberately stop them, but he will still persuade them. As long as they don't completely rebel against him and take away his core skills, he is not prepared to embarrass those people.

His ability to think this way naturally stems from his confidence, and his confidence stems from his absolute strength.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng needs to plan ahead. He is already planning for next year, or even the year after, or the year after that. Since time traveling, he has not been taking one step at a time, but has been planning ahead to achieve today's achievements.

At this moment, generals from all battalions gathered in the Chinese army tent of Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief Zhang Cheng, including Datong Commander-in-Chief Wang Pu and Shanxi Commander-in-Chief Li Fuming.

The first three people sitting side by side are Zhang Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, in the middle, Zhang Ruoqi, the commander-in-chief of the army on the left, and Zhang Dou, the Ningqian soldiers on the right.

Needless to say, Zhang Ruoqi had already been subdued by Zhang Cheng at this time. Although he could not be regarded as Zhang Cheng's subordinate for the time being, the two parties were completely bound together and became a grasshopper on the vine. He completely surrendered to Zhang Cheng. It's also a matter of time.

But Zhang Dou is different. He is a more capable person among the border ministers, and he is also very honest. He is not a person who wants to follow the crowd. But the more such a person is, the easier it is to get along with him. It mainly depends on how you interact with him. get along with each other.

Although Zhang Dou is a proud scholar and has some real talents, he does not exclude people with the same ability, not those who are jealous of others.

Since the first military meeting, he had been paying close attention to Zhang Cheng. It can be said that Zhang Cheng's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope.

He had seen it in Wu Sangui before. At that time, he thought that Wu Sangui might be the one who could save the Ming Dynasty, because in his opinion, it was impossible for someone other than an extraordinary person to save the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. .

In today's Ming Dynasty, the trend of association and selfishness is prevalent. Even those who are capable and ambitious cannot stand out in this atmosphere. They are destined to be suppressed by the big shots in the court and have not yet emerged. He was suppressed to death.

Only the powerful local factions with military power can avoid being suppressed by the complicated party relationships in the court, and they must be loyal to the court, otherwise they will still be a destructive person, just like Dong Zhuo in the late Han Dynasty.

However, how difficult is it to find the person he wants in today's Ming Dynasty?

Looking at the entire world, there are mediocre and greedy civil servants, and there are arrogant and domineering generals who kill good people and take credit for their merits. Only this rare person has both talent and strategy, and the heart of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country.

Although Wu Sangui was a rising star among Liaodong generals, he was also a leader among Liaodong generals. He was also appreciated by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao. He was originally an excellent candidate for this mission of saving the country, and Zhang Dou also had high hopes for him.

But the appearance of Zhang Cheng made Zhang Dou begin to re-examine his views on Wu Sangui.

In Zhang Dou's view, Wu Sangui and Zhang Cheng seemed to be on par. One of them was in Liaodong and the other was in Xuanda University. They were both outstanding military generals.

They each have their own strengths, and they are all people with poetry and strategy in mind. The power behind Wu Sangui seems to be stronger and may provide help and protection to him in the future.

However, as his contact with Zhang Cheng increased, Zhang Dou discovered that Zhang Cheng was actually a more suitable person than Wu Sangui. Zhang Cheng seemed to be better than Wu Sangui in terms of strategy and courage.

Therefore, when he was preparing to attack Huangtu Ridge and Shimen Mountain at the same time, he took the initiative to ask for help and went to Huangtu Ridge to supervise the battle. His intention was to further carefully observe the strength of the Xuanfu Army.

Because Zhang Dou naturally knew about the Ningyuan Army led by Wu Sangui for a long time. It was the strongest army in Liaodong. Perhaps it was as good as Zu Dashou's powerful army stationed in Jinzhou.

But after the battle at Huangtuling, he changed his view again.

This battle not only allowed him to see the bravery of the Xuanfu Army, but what surprised him even more was the Xuanfu Army's fighting methods and tactics, which he had never heard of or seen before.

Moreover, he was even more surprised by the equipment of the Xuanfu army's chariots, muskets, and artillery than their sophisticated armor.

Zhang Dou judged from this that although Zhang Cheng was not as powerful as Wu Sangui, he was very good at taking advantage of the situation.

He successively relied on the help of governors and cabinet ministers such as Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, Chen Xingjia, and the trust of the current emperor to make deep plans in the Xuanfu.

At such a young age, he is already the commander-in-chief of a town, and has tens of thousands of troops. If he cannot become a capable minister to save the world in the future, he will be a traitor in troubled times.

In short, "Zhang Cheng's future achievements will definitely be greater than Wu Sangui's", this is Zhang Dou's final assertion!

Therefore, Zhang Doucai gradually moved closer to Zhang Cheng. His selfish motives were also obvious, that is, he wanted to influence and change Zhang Cheng, so that he would eventually become a capable minister of salvation rather than a traitor in troubled times.

And vice versa, Zhang Cheng is also actively approaching Zhang Dou, and his thoughts are simpler and purer.

Zhang Cheng now wants to bring those who have the ability under his military tent. However, he does not dare to force court officials like Zhang Dou.

He is now on good terms with Zhang Dou, and in the future he will have more than just Wu Sangui in Liaodong. Although Zhang Dou's line cannot be used to control Wu Sangui, it is not a bad thing to ambush him as a hidden line.

What's more, in Zhang Cheng's opinion, Zhang Ruoqi was so impressive when he first met him in Beijing. When he offered to join the family line with him, he acted like a subordinate. .

So what now, hasn't Zhang Ruoqi become someone dependent on him?

Perhaps in the near future, with the changes in the world situation, people like Zhang Dou will gather in his military tent and become his help to express his ambition and calm the world!
