readx; Under the personal supervision of Emperor Taiji of Tiancong Khan, the camp of the Later Jin army was quickly re-established, and the Han Army Banner and the Mongol Eight Banners, which had been ineffective before, were replaced by the most elite Nuzhen Yellow Banner army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The camp immediately erected a large tent of the Yellow Dragon, Huang Taiji ascended to the tiger skin chair, and Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo and other Baylors sat in two columns on the side. As for the other generals, they are not qualified to sit, because only the nobles with the blood of the Aixin Jueluo family, that is, the "master", can sit, and the others, whether they are Jurchens, Mongols or Han Chinese, are all "slaves", and of course the slaves cannot sit on an equal footing with the master.

Huang Taiji looked around the crowd majestically, and all those who were stared at were in their hearts, which made the new Houjin Khan feel very proud.

He was the eighth son of Nurhachi. Among Nurhachi's many sons, he is not as good as Daishan and Mang Gurtai in terms of age, and he is not as good as Abatai and Azig in terms of courage and good fighting, but in terms of wisdom and strategy, only the young Dolgon can compare with him, so he has always been favored and reused by Nurhachi.

At the beginning, Nurhachi had to start thinking about the issue of succession because he was getting older. However, like the Mongols and other nomadic peoples, the Jurchens never paid attention to the "inheritance of the eldest son", but whoever had the ability and who could be recognized by more clansmen was qualified to inherit everything from the old patriarch, including property, tribesmen and women. If there are several people with strong strength at the same time, then it is inevitable that there will be a life-and-death fight, which is no different from an animal that eats the weak.

Nurhachi crisscrossed Liaodong for more than 20 years, and finally unified the Jurchen tribes. Over the course of his long war career, he came to appreciate the great dangers of this method of inheritance. Because no matter which tribe, every so-called "inheritance" is actually a major turmoil within the tribe, and I don't know how many powerful tribes have a chance to take advantage of it because their descendants are killing each other for the right to inherit.

But if this inheritance method is completely abandoned and the Han "primogeniture inheritance" is used, Nurhachi also knows that it will not work at all, because those children and grandchildren who have the strength and ambition to covet the throne will never agree.

In fact, he once tried to let his eldest son Chu Ying hold some power, wanting him to slowly establish his prestige in the Eight Banners. Unexpectedly, after Chu Ying's wings hardened, he was impatient to kill Nurhachi and sweat directly. In a fit of rage, Nurhachi executed Chu Ying, and since then he has broken off the idea of establishing an heir.

However, due to his advanced age and lack of energy, Nurhachi had to solve the problem of the heir. In the end, he adopted a compromise measure and named the four sons and nephews Heshubeyler, suggesting that the future Great Khan would be produced among the four. These four people are in order of age: the second son Dabel Daishan, the nephew Erbeile Amin, the fifth son Sanbeile Mang Gurtai and the eighth son and the fourth Beile Huang Taiji.

Nurhachi gave the four of them exactly the same powers, monthly points, and general affairs were handled by them. Nurhachi's idea was that these four men were the strongest of the Eight Banners, and as long as they could maintain unity and checks and balances, Daikin would not fall apart and go into decline.

But this is just Nurhachi's wishful thinking. The four of them are harmonious on the surface, but in fact they all want to dominate the Khan, who wants to share power with others?

In this undercurrent of struggle, although Huang Taiji, who is good at scheming, is the youngest, he is the last. He first wooed Daishan, who offended Nurhachi because of his fornication with Nurhachi's concubine, and then wooed Daishan's son Yuetuo. These two people are in charge of the red flag and the red flag, plus the yellow flag held by Huang Taiji, three of the eight flags have fallen to Huang Taiji.

Then he secretly contacted the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, Zilharang, and promised that after he ascended to the throne of Khan, Zilharang's title could be hereditary, so as to pull the powerful Zhengbai Banner to his side. The matter was so secret that Zilharang's own brother Amin was kept in the dark.

Before Nurha died in Jinzhou, the struggle for the throne of Khan was immediately made public. At that time, Erbeile Amin was far away in North Korea, and he had no intention of competing for the Khan throne, and Daishan supported Huang Taiji, so the battle for the Khan throne actually became a contest between the two people of Sanbeile Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji.

Mang Gurtai thinks that he is older than Huang Taiji, and his military achievements are far better than Huang Taiji, so he is of course more qualified to be a Great Khan. In fact, he holds the blue flag himself, and the white and blue flags are also inclined towards him. The three flags against the four flags of Huang Taiji, although the strength is slightly inferior, but there is still a lot of power.

But at this time, Mang Gurtai made another fatal mistake, that is, he forced the eldest concubine Abahai to be martyred for Nurhachi. Abahai was the biological mother of Azig, Dolgon, and Dordor, and according to the rules of the Jurchens, any concubine who had given birth to a child was not required to be martyred. But Mang Gurtai was deeply jealous of these three brothers, and was afraid that Abahai would be detrimental to himself if he became the "queen mother", so he took the first step and took advantage of the absence of several other major Baylors in Shenyang to kill Abahai overnight.

This is a good thing, these three brothers were originally neutral, but because of this matter, they hated Mang Gurtai deeply, and they all fell to Huang Taiji at once. Because of their young age, the three of them were deeply favored by Nurhachi, and they had long been in power in Nurhachi's Zhenghuang Banner. So Huang Taiji immediately got the support of the Zhenghuang Banner, and in the hands of the three banners, he overwhelmed Mang Gurtai at once.

Mang Gurtai saw that it was self-defeating, and he had to accept the reality of Huang Taiji's ascension to the throne with hatred. But Huang Taiji also knew that Mang Gurtai was strong, so he still maintained the pattern of "four kings discussing politics", and the four of them sat in the south during the discussion, and they negotiated and decided together in case of trouble.

As the name suggests, the Manggultai people are a Mangfu. Seeing Huang Taiji arrange it like this, he thought that his status was really as stable as Mount Tai. But Huang Taiji waited all the time, waiting for an opportunity to get rid of the three of them and take power alone.

This time, as soon as the Eight Banners attacked Daling River and Jinzhou, Huang Taiji deliberately let Mang Gurtai be responsible for fighting Jinzhou. Because Jinzhou is closer to Ningyuan, if the Ming army comes to help, Mang Gurtai will have to suffer from the enemy. As long as he does not fight effectively, he can take the opportunity to weaken his power.

But what he didn't expect was that the reinforcements really came, but instead of fighting Manggultai, they went directly into the Daling River! After Huang Taiji asked the direction of the Ming reinforcements, he immediately slapped the case and said angrily: "Yiwulu Mountain is between Jinzhou and Daling River, how did the Ming army run to the mountain?" This must be the slackness of the Mang Gurtai army and the release of the Ming army! Azig, go to the army of Manggultai and ask what is going on! ”

Azig immediately took the order and left, but Dolgon frowned and said, "Great Khan, the Ming army has entered the city, should we attack the city immediately?" ”

Huang Taiji also felt that his encirclement was easily penetrated by the Ming army, and he was a little faceless. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's late at night, and it's not conducive to attacking the city." As soon as the morning dawned, the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners immediately attacked the city with all their might, and Ben Khan personally sat here! ”

The generals of the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners couldn't help but secretly complain, thinking that they had to be cannon fodder again.

But just as everyone was discussing the military situation, they suddenly heard an earth-shattering explosion in the direction of the Daling River outside the camp!

Huang Taiji was shocked, of course he had heard the Ming army's Hongyi cannon and Franc machine cannon fire, but there was absolutely no such big movement!

When he was surprised, a junior colonel ran in in a panic and said, "Qi Qi Great Khan, Great Ling River... The walls of the Daling River have collapsed! ”
