Siberian Tiger
Dorgon
When the leader of the horse-trafficking team, Ji Han, was
chatting with Agudengba and the coachman Azhuo, he told some stories about the
bloody horses. Because he sells horses as a profession, Fang Shidi's
grandfather Fangyuanli was once the general manager of the blood horse breeding
farm of the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions. He was once responsible for
escorting tribute horses to the Ming Dynasty court.
The Han Dynasty also talked about the fact that after Zhang
Qian was sent to the Western Regions, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops
to conquer the Dawan Kingdom twice in order to obtain the bloody horses of the
Dawan Kingdom.
The ancestors of the Jihan people were Tocharians. Xia Xiong,
the horse officer of the imperial court, was also a Tocharian. Fangyuanli and
Xia Xiong are very close to each other. They also have a friend who is a
Jurchen named Feng Tiansheng.
The Jurchens Feng Tiansheng often communicated with Fangyuanli
and Xia Xiong about horses and their experiences in horse trading. The first
confrontation in the Battle of Jinzhou
Jurchen Fengshengsheng was Dorgon's groom. Dorgon was the
fourteenth son of Nurhaci. He was still underage when Nurhaci died, so he did
not gain the upper hand in the battle for the throne that year.
Before his death, Nurhachi did not clearly designate a
successor. Instead, he left a message that "the eight of you can be the
kings of Bagu Mountain, and we can work together to serve the country, and
nothing will be lost."
Therefore, although Huang Taiji eventually succeeded to the
throne, he was still facing pressure from the three major Baylors, Daishan,
Amin and Mang Gurtai.
In order to restrain the power of the three Baylors, Huang
Taiji deliberately raised the status of the two brothers Dorgon and Duduo.
Dorgon and Duoduo were born to the great blessing Jin Abahai,
and their status was not low. In addition, they were relatively young, so they
posed little threat to Huang Taiji.
Jurchen Fengshengsheng once said to Yuanli and Xia Xiong:
In the second year of Tiancong, the 17-year-old Dorgon was
given the title of "Mergen Dai Qing" by Huang Taiji because of his
meritorious service in the campaign against Chahar Mongolia. In the fifth year
of Tiancong, Huang Taiji handed over the official department to Dorgon. Feng
Tiansheng served as Dorgon's horse officer at this time.
Feng Tiansheng said that when Huang Taiji competed with the
three major Baylors, Dorgon and Duoduo also chose to side with Huang Taiji. In
the fourth year of Tiancong's reign, when Huang Taiji asked Zhubeile ministers
to plead guilty to Amin with the "defeated master", Dorgon and Duoduo
did not intercede on Amin's behalf, but instead asked for Amin's death together
with others.
However, when Huang Taiji competed with the three major
Baylors, Dorgon and Duoduo also wisely chose to go with the flow. They not only
catered to Huang Taiji, but also did not directly confront the forces of the
three major Baylors. Therefore, Huang Taiji eliminated the three major Baylors.
After Big Baylor, they also developed their own power.
Feng Tiansheng once said to Yuanli and Xia Xiong:
After Huang Taiji's position was stabilized, Dorgon was named
Prince Heshuorui and continued to win over Dorgon. Dorgon also showed
outstanding military and political talents.
Feng Tiansheng sang a Northeastern ballad "Northeast
Tiger":
Nurhachi passed away to
heaven,
The throne of Khan gradually
passed to Huang Taiji.
The three major Baylors put
pressure on them;
Fighting for power.
Huang Taiji is wily and
scheming,
Intentionally promoting
Dorgon,
The two brothers Ergun
Duduo,
It's like a tiger emerging
from the mountains.
From then on, the Great Qing
Dynasty took on a new look.
The sound of sweaty horse
hooves sounded,
The Qing army invaded
Shanhaiguan,
Aspiring to conquer the
Central Plains, war rages.
The Siberian tiger looks up
to the sky and roars,
The power of the tiger
shocked the world.
The Tiger King is
undoubtedly Dorgon.
Talking about the color of a
tiger turns the mountains and rivers into chaos.
Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
