huangtaiji is the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It is slightly less well-known in the history of the Qing Dynasty than that of Kangxi and Qianlong. But as the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Taiji made great contributions to the Great Qing Dingding Central Plains.
There are constant rumors about the death of Huang Taiji in history, because he died too hastily, without any warning before.
According to historical records, Huang Taiji is physically strong, and he has been fighting with Nurhachi since childhood, and he can bear hardships and stand hard work, so the physical fitness is particularly good.
There is a longbow that he used in Shenyang Shisheng Temple. The arrow is more than four feet long. This is not something ordinary people can try. It is also very difficult for the military to pull it, but Huang Taiji Can be used freely.
So how did Huang Taiji die in history?
皇太极
In May 642, Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty sent a large delegation to Ningyuan City. Request an interview from Huang Taiji.
Logically speaking, Chongzhen has never paid much attention to Huang Taiji. He regards himself as a kingdom of heaven, and Qing is just a small country. Therefore, before Huang Taiji wrote to Chongzhen many times, they all entered the sea like a mud cow without any news.
Now that Huang Taiji hit the Ming Dynasty heavily by military means, Chongzhen took the initiative to seek peace. It should be a rare sight in a century.
Huang Taiji did not put on airs, but expressed his willingness to talk to the Ming Dynasty and dispatched military officials to Ningyuan to welcome the Ming Dynasty delegation.
Huang Taiji received the messengers from the Ming Dynasty friendly, served them deliciously for a few days, and finally asked them to bring a letter to Chongzhen. The content of the letter
is relatively long. is nothing more than showing that the conflicts between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are not correct. The last and most important meaning is that the Ming Dynasty will pay the Qing Dynasty tribute and re-divide the territory.
Huang Taiji asked the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to the Qing state of 10,000 gold and silver a million taels every year. The trend of strength and weakness has been reversed. It used to be the Later Jin to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. .
Huang Taiji also asked the Ming Dynasty to assign all territories outside Shanhaiguan to the Qing Dynasty.
Huangtaiji has been frustrated in conquering the Guanning line for many years. now wants to take a place without a single shot and a bullet that could not be defeated after decades. It should be said that it is too beautiful, but it is also reasonable. .
When Chongzhen read this letter, there is no need to say that he was angry.
However, it won’t work if you don’t swallow this breath now. Chongzhen also doesn’t want to fight with Huang Taiji, so he doesn’t bother to return him.
Chongzhen didn't reply, but Huang Taiji was in his arms, so there was an excuse for sending troops.
At this time, many ministers of the Qing Dynasty strongly advocated that the army should go straight to Huanglong and win Beijing. Everyone felt that the time was ripe to capture the heart of the Ming Dynasty.
But Huang Taiji has always been a conservative person, he thinks that it is not the time yet, just like cutting a tree, first cut off the branches on both sides, and then cut the main trunk.
Huang Taiji believes that there is no need to rush into Beijing, and it should be said that this strategy is correct.
However, people are not as good as heaven. Huang Taiji did not expect that calmness is good, but he can't be calm for long.
Huang Taiji and Dorgon
On October 14, 1642, Huang Taiji ordered Abate as the general. Leading the army to cut down the branches of the Ming Dynasty, before went out, Huang Taiji once again declared the military discipline to them, emphasizing the "five nos".
On June 11th of the second year, Abatai Triumphant Class Master , this time on the expedition, Abatai annihilated one prince and five county kings of the Ming Dynasty and captured thousands of people from the Ming Dynasty clan .
conquered 67 counties at the same time, occupying 88 cities, grabbing more than 12,000 taels of gold, 2.5 million taels of silver, and a lot of other valuable items.
captured nearly 370,000 people. No one knows whether these people really want to become the people of the Qing Dynasty.
Abate performed well. Although Huang Taiji was ill, he went out to meet him in person.
However, no one thought that two months later, Huang Taiji would be "Without disease and end" . What's more peculiar is that Huang Taiji, who has foresight, did not leave any wills like his father.
Don’t Huang Taiji know the intensity of the battle for the throne?
As a person who came by, Huang Taiji knew this better than anyone else. In that case, why didn't he leave a will?
According to historical records, the eighth year of Chongde (1643) on the ninth day of the lunar calendar, "It's the night, the sea hour (from 9:00 to 11:00 in the evening), there is no disease on the road, sitting down and collapsed" , At the age of fifty-one.
It is said that Huang Taiji died without disease, and everyone does not believe that a good person, who is not very old, can say that he is dead.
The records in the history book have aroused people's curiosity about the mystery of Huangtaiji's death. Some people suspect that Huangtaiji was murdered, and some suspect that Huangtaiji died of illness.
皇太极
For hundreds of years, the mystery of Huang Taiji's violent death has triggered countless speculations by future generations.
Among them, the most widely circulated one is that Huang Taiji died of murder. Many people suspect that the murderer is Huang Taiji’s political and love enemy Dorgon, and Princess Zhuang is also one of the parties involved.
Zhuang Fei and Dorgon's childhood sweethearts, later married Huang Taiji, after the death of Huang Taiji, the two went in and out publicly, just like a husband and wife, it is not uncommon for people to suspect that she and Dorgon conspired to kill Huang Taiji.
People ignore the fact that Huang Taiji’s favorite woman during his lifetime was not Concubine Zhuang, but her sister, Concubine Chen, who entered the palace nine years earlier than Concubine Chen, but was not very favored.
In 1634, the 26-year-old Hailanzhu, a beautiful woman from the Mongolian grasslands, entered the palace of Huang Taiji and became his side of the Jin Dynasty.
Hailanzhu’s beauty is undoubtedly . Although she is not as famous as Concubine Zhuang, she is obviously more popular with Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji admired her good name very early and met her. Later, when they met each other late, the two fell in love like glue.
After Huang Taiji proclaimed the emperor, Hai Lanzhu was canonized as a concubine, second only to the queen, and Huang Taiji gave her place the name "关雎宫", to express the right The love of Hailanzhu.
For a long time, Huang Taiji had no plans to establish an heir, although the eldest son Hauge had seen Qiu Shui through.
In 1637, after the concubine Chen gave birth to the eighth son, Huang Taiji was overjoyed and called the group of ministers to discuss the issue of heir establishment.
If this elder son can grow up naturally, he should be the heir. Unfortunately, this elder son only lived for more than two hundred days before he died. Two days later, Concubine Zhuang gave birth to the ninth son, Fulin.
Since the emperor's eighth son passed away, Huang Taiji has never raised the issue of heir.
Huang Tai Chi and Chen Concubine
Someone will be surprisedHuang Taiji had a total of eleven sons. In addition to three who died, there were eight. It shouldn’t be difficult to choose an heir from these eight!
The Han imperial power pays attention to the eldest son inheritance system. Although the Manchu does not have this rule, the eldest son, Hauge, is there.
And Haoge has outstanding military service, once killed his wife, Mangguertai's daughter, to please his father.
It should be said that although Huang Taiji and Haoge are fathers and sons, their personalities are too different. Haoge's character is somewhat similar to Mang Gurtai.
So, of course he is the eldest son, but Huang Taiji really doesn't like him, and thinks Hauge is not sincere about him, and the suspicion between father and son is heavy.
The reason why Huang Taiji likes the emperor is because he likes the imperial concubine. After the emperor's death, Hailanzhu's spirit is in a trance, his mood is very low, and his body is getting worse every day.
Although Huang Taiji tried his best to comfort her and make her happy, it didn't work very well. After , the front line was in a hurry, and Huang Taiji had to rush to the front line immediately.
Along the way, Huang Taiji's nosebleeds kept flowing, and his heart was very painful. On the one hand, it was war, a national event; on the other, was the concubine Chen, the concubine who lost his beloved son and was depressed.
Huang Tai Chi and Concubine Zhuang, Chen Fei
Huang Tai Chi galloped to the front after six days and six nights, and finally changed the situation and defeated the Ming army, just when Huang Tai Chi was busy on the front line. Suddenly received news that Chen Fei was seriously ill.
Hearing this news, Huang Taiji was about to collapse. He knew that if the concubine was not very ill, the palace would not send someone to the war-torn front to report.
Huang Taiji was worried, and immediately decided to return to Beijing, in order to get back to the concubine Chen, it is said that Huang Taiji galloped day and night, exhausted six horses, even so, he still failed to see the concubine Chen finally one side.
Hearing the news of the death of the concubine Chen, the emperor was very sad: "God, you have been caring for Daqing, but why don't you let me say goodbye to my favorite woman in my life!"
After returning to Shengjing, Huang Taiji went straight to Guanju Palace and lay down on the corpse of the concubine and wept bitterly. Although Huang Taiji is a political animal, his love for the concubine is true.
It is sometimes necessary for a politician to make a show, but he cannot and will not have true temperament in all aspects.
Huang Taiji personally organized the funeral for the concubine Chen. After the funeral, Huang Taiji did not enter the Qingning Palace to live, but set up a temporary tent in the palace. Miss Chen Concubine Hailanzhu, she may be The only woman Huang Taiji ever loved in his life.
Huang Taiji and Chen Fei
After Chen Fei passed away, Huang Taiji felt that his body and mind were aging a lot. .
On August 9th of the lunar calendar in 1643, Huang Taiji worked as usual, sitting on the warm kang of Qingning Palace at night, and died without a problem.
Since this is the case, why does someone interpret the death of Huang Taiji as a fragrant murder case?
Later, Ye Shi said that Dorgon and Concubine Zhuang conspired to murder Huang Taiji, and Jin Yong used the eyes of Yuan Chengzhi to show this scene vividly in "The Sword of Jade".
Yuan Chengzhi was originally preparing to assassinate Huang Taiji, and followed Huang Taiji to the palace of Concubine Zhuang, Huang Taiji discovered that Concubine Zhuang was affair with Dorgon, and Dorgon stabbed Huang Taiji to death before he could escape. .
It is understandable that people in the world have this kind of speculation. After all, Huang Taiji killed Dorgon’s mother Abahai and seized the highest leadership.
But there is no such doubtAccording to it, an imagination as literature deserves encouragement, but it cannot be viewed as real history.
It is obviously irresponsible to say that Huang Taiji died without disease. Everyone knows that Huang Taiji has an old problem in his later years-frequent nosebleeds.
Nosebleeds is not a major event, but Huang Taiji is particularly serious. It is said that there was a nosebleed that lasted more than six days. There were many reasons for the nosebleeds. It may be excessive fire in the body, or kidney deficiency, or high blood pressure.
These types may appear in Huang Taiji. It is impossible to give Huang Taiji a physical examination, so we don’t know the specific reasons. The only thing we can be sure of is that Huang Taiji is sick, not like the history books say. It ended without a disease.
This point is also recorded in historical materials. In historical materials, the words "圣贡维和" "圣贡不郁" and other words often appear.
1642, October 20th of the lunar calendar, "Holy bows violate peace, wanton amnesty. Any rebuilding and weapon related criminals will be ordered outside the gate of Daqing, and will be released."
It can be seen that Huang Taiji is not only ill, but also so severely ill that he prays to heaven for health by means of the world's amnesty.
Of course, his illness may be related to the blow to the death of the concubine Chen.
huangtaiji
How serious is Huangtaiji's disease?
is so serious that he has to surrender power and let others deal with state affairs. Although he is greedy for power and obsessed with governing the country, it is a pity that he is unable to do so.
In the eighth year of Chongde (1643), on the sixth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, Huang Taiji sent people to North Korea to ask for a medicinal material called Zhuli, and asked North Korea to send a famous doctor to come to consult for him.
According to the "Records of Zhongzong Li Dynasty", Huang Taiji suffered from the disease called wind dizziness. It is said that Tang Gaozong Li Zhi suffered from this disease , which was a very complicated disease. It cannot be cured.
How does this disease cause this disease? We don’t know now. The popular understanding is yin and yang imbalance. Fengxuan has another saying called wind phlegm.
From the 7th year of Chongde (1642), the pressure on Huangtaiji became more and more intense, and the war between Ming and Qing was in a white-hot period.
Huang Taiji has many things, often working all night long, and the loss of his concubine, it is inevitable that the phlegm fire will rise, dizziness, and the illness will get worse.
Zhuli is the sap of bamboo, which can expectorant after being used as medicine. It seems that Huang Taiji probably died of illness and died of "phlegm disease."
So why does the official history book say that Huang Taiji ended without disease?
That's because Huang Taiji's illness seems to have improved since April of the last year. In people's eyes, Huang Taiji's body is gradually recovering. In fact, this is just an illusion.
皇太极和庄妃
Although the Qing Dynasty is not too far away, but because of the lack of official history records, we cannot determine the true cause of Huang Taiji’s death. This may be a permanent one. The mystery that cannot be verified.
And Huang Taiji and his father founded the great Qing dynasty and unfinished business, his successor Fulin (later Emperor Kangxi), will continue, this is another legend The beginning of the story.
