Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 18 The death of Nurhaci
(1)

In February 1626, Nurhachi led 2 elite soldiers from the Banners, crossed the Liaohe River, and rushed to the isolated city of Ningyuan.The defender of the isolated city of Ningyuan was Yuan Chonghuan, who was known as the "Barrier of Bamin" in the Ming Dynasty.

Nurhachi has been making great strides, so he didn't pay attention to Yuan Chonghuan, who was born as a Jinshi, and even thought that his elite soldiers would not only occupy Ningyuan quickly, but also easily occupy Ningyuan without any effort.

However, Nurhachi responded to the saying that arrogant soldiers must be defeated, and Yuan Chonghuan, who had never commanded a war, even made up his determination to defend Ningyuan to the death with the soldiers.When Nurhachi's soldiers approached the city, Yuan Chonghuan resolutely stood on the city wall regardless of the soldiers' obstruction, and fought bravely with the soldiers. From dawn to dark, Nurhachi could not attack.

Only then did Nurhachi realize that he had hit a hard bone, and had to order the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to set up camp under the city, preparing to continue to attack the city the next day.

When he was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, discussing strategies with several leaders, he suddenly heard a bang, and then his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.

It turned out that when Nurhachi set up camp to rest, Yuan Chonghuan ordered the soldiers defending the city to fire Western cannons at Nurhachi's camp. Nurhachi's [-] elite soldiers died in an instant, and several leaders sitting with him were also bombed. In the sky, Nurhal barely recovered his life, but was also seriously injured.

The soldiers protected the seriously injured Nurhachi, fled in a hurry and returned to Shengjing.

Such a serious injury was never thought of by Nurhachi, who was a hero in the war.After suffering this blow, the heroic and mighty man was seriously injured and began to collapse.

In July 1626, Nurhachi, who could not accept his defeat, became seriously ill due to depression and had to go to Qinghe to recuperate.He wanted to regain his strength after recovering from his illness, but a month later, not only did his condition not improve, but it became more and more serious.

Nurhachi had a bad premonition, so he immediately sent someone to invite his favorite concubine Abahai to see him.

"Don't tell anyone! Anyone!" Nurhachi said to the people sent.

Watching the sent people go away, Nurhachi sighed wearily, and murmured: "If I leave, my Abahai, you should suffer."

Nurhachi knew that his love for Abahai had offended many people, and many people were waiting and looking forward to his death, and then deal with this woman.

Before Abahai married Nurhachi, she was the daughter of Mantai, the leader of the Jurchen Ula tribe. When she was 12 years old, she became the tenth wife of 42-year-old Nurhachi.Abahai is smart, beautiful, witty and well-behaved, and Nurhachi likes it very much.

Two years after their marriage, Nurhaci's concubine Yehenala died of illness.Regardless of everyone's opposition, Nurhachi resolutely made Abahai his concubine.At that time, Abahai was only 14 years old.

The 14-year-old Abahai is doted on by Nurhachi, and his status is very prominent.A few years later, she gave birth to three sons, Azig, Dorgon and Duduo, for Nurhachi.

Because of his deep love for Abahai, Nurhachi also regarded these three sons as treasures, and handed over the three banners of the Eight Banners army to them respectively, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Nurhachi's other sons.

Just when Abahai was loved by thousands of people, Nurhachi heard some rumors that Abahai had an affair with his second son.

Daishan is the son of Tong Jiashi, another wife of Nurhachi. He is brave and resourceful, and is very appreciated by Nurhachi. At the age of 30, he was the best candidate for the Nurhachi reserve.

One is his favorite concubine, and the other is the son who is most likely to inherit the Great Khan's position.Nurhachi was furious when he heard the rumor. He first drove Abahai out, then weakened Daishan's power, and finally made Daishan lose the ability to compete for the Great Khan.

However, within a few months of Abahai's departure, Nurhachi, who suffered from longing for her, recruited her back again, not only pampering her still, but also allowing her to ascend the throne of concubine again.Regarding this, Nurhachi's other concubines and sons dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Abahai's return this time made her more considerate to Nurhachi.She is quite scheming and knows that she must win the throne for one of the three sons when she is doted on by Nurhachi, because only in this way can she ensure that she and her three sons can still have power after Nurhachi's death. and life safety.

Abahai began to look for the successor of the Great Khan among his three sons.Among the three sons, although the eldest son Azig has an age advantage, he is not capable enough; the third son Dodo is smart but too young.Only the second son, Dorgon, has the strength to sit on the sweat regardless of age, ability or character.But she also knows that Dorgon has his weakness, that is, he thinks too much about things and is indecisive.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.Abahai, who has never read a book, also knows this truth.Looking at Nurhachi's sons, the most competitive one is Sibeile Huang Taiji.

While observing Huang Taiji secretly, Abahai looked for an opportunity for Nurhachi to become the crown prince.

When she received Nurhachi asking her to go to Qinghe to meet, Abahai was a little flustered, and she regretted not proposing a reserve before Nurhachi went to Qinghe.If the "big tree" of Nurhachi really fell before she passed, let alone the three sons vying for the throne, even the three of them, their mother and son, would be in danger.

Abahai quietly followed the visitor and hurried towards Qinghe.Along the way, flustered, she was thinking about Li Chu.She didn't know that there was another person following behind her, and that was Huang Taiji.

It turned out that Huang Taiji began to pay attention to Abahai after she returned to the position of concubine.Huang Taiji knew that the greatest resistance to his fight for sweat came from this woman.When the people sent by Nurhachi went to meet Abahai quietly, they happened to be seen by the person who Huang Taiji placed next to Abahai. After Abahai rode away with someone who came, that person quickly went to see Huang Taiji.

At that time, Huang Taiji was being served by Bu Mu Butai, when he heard the anxious voice of someone coming, Huang Taiji hurriedly dressed and walked out.Someone whispered a few words in his ear, Huang Taiji frowned, and secretly called out: "Not good!"

When Nurhachi went to Qinghe to recuperate, Huang Taiji had made two preparations: one was that Nurhachi would return after he recovered; the other was that Nurhachi would be seriously ill or even die.If Nurhachi recovers from his illness, then he will need to think long-term about his fight for the position of Khan.And if Nurhachi was seriously ill or even died, then he must be the first to be there.

It was Nurhachi's confidant who called Abahai away. It must be Nurhachi's will for Abahai to leave quietly.

"Could it be..." Huang Taiji didn't think any further, he immediately ordered his horses to prepare to go out.

Seeing Huang Taiji's hurried appearance, Bumbutai leaned against the door frame and said slightly dissatisfied, "Where are you going so late?"

"There is something important." Huang Taiji's expression was serious.

He didn't look at Bumbutai, went straight out of the room, jumped on his horse, led a few followers, and headed towards Qinghe at high speed...

When Abahai and Huang Taiji were rushing to Qinghe one after the other, Nurhachi was sailing along the Taizi River by boat.He realized that he was running out of time and wanted to meet Abahai halfway.He wants to arrange Abahai's life well, otherwise he will die with regret.

When Nurhachi traveled to the Hun River by boat, Abahai, who was galloping along the river bank, saw the boat that Nurhachi was on, so he jumped off his horse and stumbled into the cabin, only to see Nurhachi lying there with a pale face.

Seeing Abahai, Nurhachi showed a slight smile.He told others to leave the cabin and said no one was allowed in without his permission.

The other people in the cabin left. Enduring the severe pain, he raised his body and said to Abahai panting, "You just come! I... can't... I can't protect you anymore!"

Abahai had never seen Nurhachi like this before. She was terrified, and knelt down in front of Nurhachi with a plop, hugged Nurhachi's head, wiped the sweat that was oozing from his forehead, and said tremblingly: "Sweat, Don’t say that! Don’t say that! Khan will get well, he will be well! Khan will protect his Abahai, Abahai cannot live without Khan, he cannot live without Khan!”

Nurhachi stretched out his hand tremblingly, and pressed it on Abahai's hand.

"Listen, our Dajin Kingdom..." Before he finished speaking, a burst of severe pain hit again, and Nurhachi couldn't help moaning in pain.

"Khan, let's take a break. Let's talk about it when it's better, tomorrow, and when we return to Shengjing." Abahai's face was already pale, and he completely forgot to talk to Nurhachi about establishing a reserve along the way.

Nurhachi shook his head: "No, if you don't talk about it, there will be no time."

"Don't! Da Khan, don't say such things. Dajin Kingdom cannot live without Da Khan. You will definitely get better, you will!" Abahai kept shaking his head and screaming.

"I know my body!" Nurhachi smiled sternly, and then said with a serious expression: "Abahai, listen, I have decided to pass... pass the position of Khan... to our son... Dole Dagon."

"Dorgon?" Although this was what Abahai was eager to hear, she was still a little surprised when Nurhachi said it directly, and said repeatedly: "Can Dorgon do it? He is still so young, I thought the Great Khan would immediately Four Baylor."

Abahai was both excited and sad. What was excited was that Nurhachi raised his son Dorgon without hesitation. What was sad was that the big tree of Nurhachi was about to fall down.

Nurhachi took a few breaths and said again: "Huang Taiji's...talent and military achievements...are unmatched by...among a few children, but..."

He paused, swallowed hard, and continued: "Smart is misunderstood by cleverness. He... he is not as straightforward and kind as Dorgon. Dorgon's temperament is more like mine, he must... definitely be a ...a great hero!"

Abahai's heart was very complicated. She was excited, sad, and worried. She said, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid that Si Baylor and other Baylors will not agree."

Nurhachi nodded, panting and continued: "I have already sent someone to call them! Only in front of everyone...by...by me...by myself can Dor...Dorgon continue with peace of mind. bit."

After finishing speaking, Nurhachi took another deep look at Abahai: "You... you, mother and son, are the only three... that can be safe!"

"Khan!" Abahai threw himself into Nurhachi's arms and cried bitterly.

Nurhachi reached out and gently stroked Abahai's face, and said slowly, "Abahai...you...you...you are my favorite..."

Maybe it was too much force, before Nurhachi finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Sweat! Sweat!" Abahai yelled in horror.

"It seems...it seems...I...I...can't wait...they...I...I'm afraid...I'm sorry...for you!"

After Nurhachi finished speaking, another mouthful of blood spurted out, and immediately, his hand touching Abahai fell off.He glanced at Abahai with his last look full of tenderness and love, and suddenly his eyes widened...

"Sweat! Sweat!" Abahai screamed.

A burst of noisy horse hooves covered Abahai's shrill screams, piercing the sky in the dark night...
