Although Dorgon has always been eyeing the Manchu throne, after all, Huang Taiji is Nurhachi's heir before his death. Before fighting for Huang Taiji, that position will always be out of reach for him.

Originally, the name was not justified, but now, because Huang Taiji Dorgon's prestige and reputation in the Qing Dynasty have also plummeted, it is not a good time to proclaim himself emperor.

It's just that the two sides have been forced to tear each other apart due to various factors. It was a hidden political struggle before, but now it has risen to a real military struggle. If Dorgon fights with Huang Taiji as the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Naturally, they would lose their place in righteousness. Before the two sides officially started the war, they were already short of each other for no reason.

Even if the name is not justified, but at least it is better than the other side for no reason.

What's more, in order to reverse the decline of his own side, Dorgon's counselor Han Duanzhang proposed to him to use public opinion to fight public opinion and completely confuse this pool of water.

Soon, rumors about Huang Taiji's secret collusion to assassinate Nurhachi on the battlefield spread throughout the Qing Dynasty at the fastest speed, especially with some specious evidence mixed in.

Of course, this matter is not true, it's just Han's nonsense.But in Han Duanzhang's view, many things don't need to be true.Besides, how much of the rumors are true?

What Dorgon needed was not to make Manqing really think that Nurhachi was related to Huang Taiji, but to confuse the water in this way.

Although this kind of method is useless for the high-level people in the Qing Dynasty, those who can get into the high-level are basically human beings, and few of them are easy to fool!
However, at least to a certain extent, the image of Dorgon in the minds of the low-level people in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties can be reversed.Even if it is impossible to completely eliminate the previous adverse effects, at least some people in the Qing Dynasty can have certain doubts about Huang Taiji to a certain extent!
Since my side can't be cleaned up, then I might as well make your side black!In a sense, the two sides stand on the same level, so there is no relative advantage!
The most important thing is that if Dorgon is alone in this matter, this method will be useful, but it may not be able to achieve much effect.However, under the help of some people in the dark, these public opinions intensified in the Qing Dynasty, and the effect was even beyond Han Duanzhang's expectations.

Duan Liao and Juqu Funu were one of the people who contributed to the flames, and the remaining two forces in the grassland also made a move.

It was also against this background that one month after Huang Taiji's troops crusade against Dorgon, Dorgon formally led a group of his direct generals to pray to Changshengtian, announcing that he was officially succeeded as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, At the same time, he denounced Huang Taiji's behavior of having no king and no father, and denounced the other party's illegality.

Since then, on the grassland, Dorgon's Western Qing and Huang Taiji's Eastern Qing have simultaneously entered a stage of full-scale military confrontation.

Although Dorgon poured a large bucket of dirty water on Huang Taiji, this method can only mislead the herdsmen at the bottom, but it is not enough to mislead the high-level Manchus.

Therefore, most of the high-ranking Manchu and Qing dynasties were devoted to Huang Taiji, and even some of the original neutral factions were inclined to Huang Taiji's side because of Dorgon's splitting of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

The two great generals of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Gordon and McKenley, as well as veteran generals Fei Yingdong, E Yidu, An Feiyangu, etc., were loyal to Nurhachi when Nurhachi was there.When Nurhachi no longer came, their loyalty was also transferred to Nurhachi's orthodox successor Huang Taiji.

Fan Wencheng and Aobai, who are literary and military, are the right-hand men that Huang Taiji relies on most.At the same time, after Huang Taiji recorded Nurhachi, he became the second Manchu emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he was able to stabilize the situation so quickly after that.The relationship between these two people is indispensable.

On the contrary, Xiu Ying, who is a member of the clan, is as enthusiastic about the position of Huang Taiji as Dorgon.When Nurhachi was fighting for this position after his death, he was also jumping up and down, but he really didn't have much support, and he had always been just a companion.

However, this one didn't like Dorgon even more.Therefore, he is also on the side of Huang Taiji.And Xiuying's choice actually represented the choice of most clans in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Originally, most of the Manchu clan, a considerable part of them were in the neutral faction, and even favored Dorgon, wanting to use the struggle between Dorgon and Huang Taiji to gain greater power.

Only when there is a fight between Dorgon and Huang Taiji, it is even more necessary to win over the power of their clans, and these clans can also take advantage of this opportunity to sit on the ground and raise prices to seek benefits for themselves.

But now, the Manchu and Qing dynasties have fallen into a split because of this, and it is naturally impossible for these people to have the same attitude as before.

Therefore, Dorgon's situation is actually not good, it can even be said to be extremely bad.

At present, he only has Duoduo, Han Duanzhang, Mu Mo, An Lushan, An Qingxu, An Qingzong, An Shouzhong, Tian Ang, Zang Mohai, Fang Di, Liang Zhongyong, Zhang Zhi, and Xie Zhengli. support.

Among these people, there was almost a stark contrast with the group of people in Huang Taiji.The supporters of Huang Taiji were either in high positions in the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the great nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and most of Dorgon's people were of Han origin, or talents from other small tribes conquered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

However, after the announcement of the two major tribes, Duan Liao and Juqu Funu, Dorgon's momentum was boosted, and they finally had the momentum to fight against Huang Taiji.

The families of Duan Liao and Juqu Funu are both top-notch families in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they are ranked top in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty.Otherwise, these two people would not dare to develop ambitions at this time, and even continued to fuel the flames secretly.

And among these two families, there are also a lot of talents, Juqu Funu, Juquna, Juqu Luoqiu, Duan Mobo, Duan Lan, Duan Quyun, Duan Jilujuan, Duan Pilong, Duan Yu, Duan The strong joining of She Fuchen, Duan Ji Lujuan, Duan Wuwuchen, Duan Kan, Duan Qin, Duan Ya and many other talents also allowed Dorgon to further make up for the lack of power relative to Huang Taiji.

Dorgon may also know that these two families have their own thoughts, and they didn't really vote for him because they were loyal to him.

But under the pressure of Huang Taiji, he can only choose to accept this group of people!

Fortunately, there were two groups of people who came, and Dorgon was relatively willing to accept this group of people!At least, a balance can be created between the two waves of people with ulterior motives!
