Dorgon: the Iron Horse and Jin Ge Determined the Qing Dynasty

He is the fourteenth son of King Nurhaci of Houjin Khan. When he was young, he witnessed the smoke of the battlefield of Sarhu and witnessed his father Khan's ambition to unify the Jurchens; he was Mergen Dai Qing under Huang Taiji, who led the Eight Banners cavalry to sweep through Mongolia. Chahar conquered Lushun, Liaodong, and emerged with his military talent; he was the regent of the Shunzhi Dynasty, turning the tide in the power whirlpool, using the battle of Shanhaiguan to establish the Central Plains, and single-handedly supported the Qing Dynasty's entry into the pass. ——He is Aixinjueluo Dorgon, an iron-blooded powerful official who was pushed to the top by fate and was wronged after his death due to power entanglements. From the birth cry of Hetuala to the forbearing silence when his mother-in-law Abahai was buried; from the high-spirited command of the Zhengbai Banner to the strategizing of the Battle of Songjin; from the compromise choices in the battle for the throne after Huang Taiji died of illness, to the shocking feat of leading the Qing army into the Pass and welcoming Emperor Shun to establish his capital in Beijing, Dorgon's life has always been closely aligned with the historical gears of the founding of the Qing Dynasty. He was not only a military wizard who broke the confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, a pioneer who used iron cavalry to conquer the resistance in the Central Plains, but also a participant in the feudal imperial power game - he achieved a dynastic jump with power, but due to the controversy at the peak of his power, he suffered the bad luck of losing his title and confiscating his family after his death. It was not until a hundred years later that he was rehabilitated by Emperor Qianlong and restored to his rightful historical status. This book restores Dorgon's legendary life, analyzes his struggles and choices in the struggle for the throne, regency management, and national policies, and finally reveals the fateful truth of the hero who "succeeded in power, but also suffered in power" under the feudal imperial power, allowing readers to understand a true and three-dimensional Dorgon in the magnificent history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
