Is the famous Jade Seal really in the hands of Lin Dan Khan?
real!
It’s a long story.
After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six kingdoms, the first emperor, Ying Zheng, selected the best jade material, and skilled craftsmen carefully carved a jade seal, and engraved the eight seal characters on it: "If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever!"
Since then, this jade seal has become a symbol of imperial power and has been passed down in the hands of later emperors, so it is also called the national jade seal!
Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
In the third year from the Later Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Shi Jingtang, the governor of Hedong Province, colluded with the Khitans to besiege Luoyang City. The defenders were unable to resist and were quickly breached. The last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Congke, saw that the situation was over and did not want to be captured and humiliated, so he and the Queen Mother ascended the city. He went to the Yuanwu Tower in the palace and died.
The whereabouts of the Chuanguo Jade Seal are unknown, and some say it was destroyed by fire along with the last emperor, Li Congke.
Others say that the jade seal was not burned, but was secretly sent out of Luoyang City and lived among the people!
Faced with this situation, the later Jin Dynasty, Southern Tang Dynasty, Wuyue, Southern Han Dynasty, Northern Han Dynasty, Chu Dynasty and other regimes at that time all sent a large number of people to search for the whereabouts of the national jade seal, and then successively announced that they had obtained the national jade seal. The national jade seal!
Not only that, even the Khitan, Dangxiang, Tubo, Dali and other ethnic minority regimes at that time, in order to divide the Zhengshuo of the Central Plains, successively claimed that they had obtained the national jade seal, and many bizarre stories were also spread.
Among the ruins, there was a red light flashing every night. Some curious people went to dig, and finally dug out the jade seal passed down from the country, and then presented it to the emperor.
Some fishermen caught a big golden carp from the river, took out the imperial seal from the fish's belly, and then presented it to the emperor.
What a spiritual white yak. It stopped eating grass for several days and kept roaring on a hillside. The herdsmen dug the ground out of curiosity, and finally dug out a sandalwood box, which contained the jade seal passed down from the country, and then dedicated it to the Great Khan. !
…
Various stories emerged one after another, telling stories about noses and eyes, and some were even recorded by literati and included in history books.
Of course, there is only one Chuanguo Jade Seal, and it is impossible to fall into the hands of multiple regimes at the same time. Obviously, some people got the real Chuanguo Jade Seal, and some people couldn't get the real one, so they made fake Chuanguo Jade Seals in order to achieve their personal goals. political purpose.
As for who has the authenticity and who has the forgery, it is unknown.
Anyway, the emperors and great khans of various regimes said that what they got was real and what others got was fake, and they argued endlessly about it and even went to war!
More than two hundred years later, the Mongolian Empire rose. Relying on the tactics learned from the wolves and the invincible iron cavalry, it annihilated many countries such as Dajin, Xixia, Xiliao, Tubo, Dali, and the Southern Song Dynasty, and obtained these The government chose the real jade seal from among them and kept the fake one.
Later, after the fall of the Meng Yuan Dynasty and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to the Northern Expedition many times, hoping to eliminate the remaining Yuan forces and obtain the imperial seal, but unfortunately he never did so.
So much so that in his later years, Lao Zhu lamented that he had three major regrets: First, he failed to capture Prince Yuan and completely destroy Can Yuan.
Second, he failed to capture the most amazing man in the world—Wang Baobao!
The third is that he did not get the jade seal passed down to the country and became a blank slate emperor for the rest of his life!
As for the true national jade seal, it has been passed down to the descendants of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, that is, the descendants of the Jin family!
Lin Dan Khan is a direct descendant of the Golden Family, and is also the nominal Great Khan of Mongolia. Therefore, everyone speculates that the jade seal passed down from the country is most likely in his hands.
And Huang Taiji personally led the army to the west this time: first, he wanted to conquer the four tribes of Chahar, Ordos, Tumote, and Yongxiebu to strengthen his own strength.
The second is to get the jade seal passed down to the country!
Because of the imperial seal, Huang Taiji can transform from the Jurchen Khan to the emperor of the world. He can prove that he is favored by God and is the true dragon emperor, and prepares public opinion for his future entry into the Central Plains. , and can better win people’s hearts!
It's fine now. As soon as Lin Danhan dies, Dafujin-Namu Zhong will
If he leads his troops back to surrender, he will also obediently present the imperial seal. He will have achieved both goals of his western expedition, and he can return to the imperial court, Huang Taiji thought.
……………
In the seventh year of Chongzhen - the second day of the first lunar month, which was the second day after the reply, Huang Taiji ordered the withdrawal of the siege, and then led the main force to cross the Yellow River eastward and return to Liaodong.
The brothers Dorgon and Duduo led 10,000 troops to stay in the western part of the Hetao Grassland, responsible for recruiting Dafujin Namu Zhong to surrender, annexing the remaining troops of the Chahar tribe, and getting the imperial seal in their hands!
………………
The sixth day of the first lunar month, in the morning.
"Chirp chirp... chirp chirp!"
In the sky near Dongshengwei, a golden eagle was circling back and forth and making several strange movements in succession!
A moment later, dozens of cave entrances suddenly appeared on the grass below, and then groups of people emerged from them, including Qin Feng and the Fire Dragon Ju.
Didn't Huang Taiji receive a secret message before, saying that Qin Feng and his party had returned to Baichengzi, so why did they emerge from the ground again?
It's very simple, it's just a trick!
These days, in order to avoid the search by the Jurchen army, Qin Feng and his soldiers have been hiding in the Xiongnu ancient tombs. They have never come out once, eating, drinking, and urinating.
But before entering the ancient tomb, Qin Feng asked the golden eagle Lightning to send a letter back to Baichengzi, and asked Xiang Xuanwu to arrange some troops to disguise himself and his soldiers to stage a grand drama of victory and triumph!
Huang Taiji was good at using time, and he must have planted many spies in the Ming Dynasty, including near Yulin Town.
In this way, the news of victory and triumph could be spread to Huang Taiji through those spies. After Huang Taiji learned about it, he would give up the search and lead his troops back to Liaodong.
In fact, everything was as Qin Feng expected, and the Jurchen army withdrew.
However, Huang Taiji has always been resourceful. When withdrawing his troops, he might leave a force behind and kill another carbine.
Therefore, Qin Feng did not come out immediately. He gritted his teeth and persisted in the ancient tomb for four more days. He also asked the golden eagle Lightning to scout around to make sure there was no ambush and it was absolutely safe. Then he came out with a group of soldiers.
"After holding it in the ancient tomb for more than ten days, I finally came out. The air outside is so fresh!"
"Well, if you can escape death, let alone holding it in for more than ten days, it is worth holding it in for a month or two!"
…
"General, we can return to Baichengzi with great fanfare. When Huang Taiji and others find out, they will definitely be furious, haha!"
"No, let's go back quietly and tell the brothers again. No one is allowed to reveal even a single word about hiding in the ancient tombs. Violators will be severely punished!"
………
Qin Feng understood clearly that if he returned to Baichengzi with great fanfare, he would really anger Huang Taiji and all the Jurchen Baylor and generals.
But other than that, there are no practical benefits!
On the contrary, if I quietly lead the troops back to Bubai City without revealing what is hidden in the ancient tomb, I will not be angry with Huang Taiji and others, but I can get some practical benefits.
For one thing, if the affairs of the ancient tombs are not exposed, you can go in and escape next time you encounter danger.
Secondly, there were a lot of internal fights within the Jurchen regime, so Huang Taiji did not trust the banner leaders and Belles, and was always on guard against them.
All he had to do was spread some rumors and say that his escape from the siege this time was all thanks to the help of a certain noble person.
As a result, Huang Taiji must have become suspicious of the banner leaders, Baylor, and generals under his opponents, thinking that someone was betraying him and having an affair with the Ming Dynasty!
It would be great if this caused internal strife and caused the senior Jurchen officials to kill each other.
To take a step back, even if it does not cause internal strife, it is still a good thing to make the Jurchen senior officials suspicious of each other and alienated!
To deal with the enemy, you should not only fight hard on the battlefield, but sometimes use a little strategy to achieve better results, hehe!
………
On the sixth day of the first lunar month in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Qin Feng led his team to leave the ancient tombs and embarked on the way home.
Eight days later, the team successfully arrived near Baichengzi.
Then, just as Qin Feng arranged, he quietly entered the city in the dead of night without making any noise or publicity!
