Among the 12 emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji was the most underestimated emperor. At the beginning of his reign, Houjin faced a very severe situation, surrounded by Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, and Korea, and the situation was isolated. Coupled with the contradiction between the power of the nobles within the Houjin , Although he inherited the khan throne, he has to "value government affairs on a monthly basis" with the three major Baylors, and has an empty name.
In such a situation where everything is stretched and under the control of others, if he wants to become a legitimate ruler, he has to take some extraordinary measures both internally and externally. He is good at absorbing the advantages of others for his own use, imitating the lighting system, gradually establishing state institutions, and finally taking all the rights into his own hands.
To fight against foreign countries, he must first settle down. He strengthened the centralization of power, developed productive forces at home, and increased military strength, because he inherited his father's will and wanted to enter the Central Plains and replace the Ming Dynasty, but if he wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty, he must first conquer Mongolia, North Korea, etc., to eliminate worries.
1636, he was already strong and strong and possessed a certain strength. In May of this year, he proclaimed the emperor, set the country name "Qing", changed the Jurchen to Manchu, and started the official war against the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Taiji followed his father to learn hunting since he was a child, and then fought with his father. He was skilled in riding and archery. At the age of 20, he set off from his father to the six cities of Urabuk, the Hercynian Jurchen. Nurhachi knew that his son was not simple, and then followed his father to attack Ming Dynasty. At times, he has repeatedly offered good ideas, and his ingenuity is even more rare.
When he declared himself emperor and attacked the Ming Dynasty, he still had the same demeanor and attached great importance to the Han generals. He won many wars and gradually eroded the Ming Dynasty. The Ning Jin line of defense in the Ming Dynasty collapsed across the board. Central Plains, but just one step away, Huang Taiji died suddenly.
The Qing army, which had already won the ticket, lost its leader in an instant, and once again fell into chaos. At this time, the commander of the Eight Banners not only did not think about chasing after the victory, but began to fight internally, all thinking about this fight for the throne, especially Dorgon and Hauge, the two of them once had the idea of becoming emperors, and now they are fighting to the death.
Huang Taiji played a pivotal role in the history of the Qing Dynasty. Without him, there might not be a future Qing Dynasty. However, the cause of his death has been mentioned in one stroke. It is recorded in "Draft of Qing History: Taizong Benji": "Gengwu, Shangyu Chongzheng Hall. On the evening of the eve, at the time of Hai, no disease collapsed, fifty-two years, and seventeen years in the reign."
The "no disease collapse" mentioned in it means that Huang Taiji suddenly had no illness at all. Just died, is that really the case?
As the supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty at that time, how could Huang Taiji die for no reason? Besides, he was only 52 years old at the time, not at the age of natural death at all. Did the historian of his death really know? Or is there another secret? Later scholars found the answer: it’s not that he didn’t know, but that for an emperor, the cause of his death was so strange that history books dare not describe it directly.
Although Huang Taiji is good at fighting, he has an old problem, that is, epistaxis, so he is often dizzy. It is recorded in the "Draft of Qing History" that he fell ill while hunting in Jinzhou for five years in Chongde. Went to Ansan Hot Spring for recuperation. At that time, the war was tight, and he went to Anshan Hot Spring, which showed that it had a serious impact on him.
However, the main reason is not epistaxis, but about a woman, Huang Taiji has 15 concubines in his life, but these are not all he loves, he is like a wolf on the grassland, a man he loves. The only favorite is Bolzigit, the two had a son, but unfortunately died.
For six years of Chongde, he stood on the front line to lead the war. At the last moment, he must not let up. As the most important character, his state is like a stretched string, but at this time, Concubine Chen suddenly came from Shengjing. After the news of his death, he was so shocked that he couldn't care less and rushed back to Shengjing immediately.
Running for thousands of miles, non-stop, his heart has long been worried, but in the end, he was a step behind and failed to catch the last glimpse of Concubine Chen. At this time, he became very vulnerable, and his tense strings were hit so hard. And the war was constantly in an emergency, and he had always had "epistomiasis", and the death of Concubine Chen became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
After watching the cremation of Concubine Chen, Huang Taiji was in a coma every day, even if he was awake occasionally, he was always indulging in grief and couldn't extricate himself. On the way back, he passed by the tomb of Concubine Chen, which was a great blow to him who was in love, and his physical condition was even worse. He said: "Mountains will collapse if they are high, trees will collapse if they are high, and they will decline when they are rich. This is the reason why Heaven is special for me to worry about." In the end, he died of illness because of his love for his concubine.
Since ancient times, emperors have been very ruthless, but Huang Taiji was originally talented in pioneering territory and governing the country, but in the end he died because of the love of his children. He is a rare genius in the royal family, with unparalleled intelligence and intelligence. He cultivated political affairs internally, crusades in the field, and used soldiers like a god.
