In the history of the Qing Dynasty, the relationship between Deyinze and Huang Taiji has always been a controversial topic. Deyinze was an important general in the early Qing Dynasty, while Huang Taiji was the later Qing Taizu. What was their relationship really like? This article will reveal this complex historical relationship from historical records.

Deyinze (1570-1629), styled Ziwen, was from the Manchu Xianghuang Banner and hailed from a military family. He served the Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong region when he was young and later joined the Later Jin (the later Qing Dynasty). Deyinze excelled during the Later Jin period, repeatedly achieving remarkable military feats and becoming Nurhaci's trusted general. However, with Nurhaci's death, internal conflicts in the Later Jin intensified, and Deyinze's position gradually came under challenge.

Huang Taiji (1592-1643), originally named Nurhaci, was the actual founder of the Later Jin. During his reign, through a series of political reforms and military actions, he gradually consolidated his position and ultimately established the powerful Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji maintained a high level of trust and importance in Deyinze. He once appointed Deyinze as the "Grand Commander" in charge of commanding the elite troops of the Later Jin.

However, as time went by, the relationship between Deyinze and Huang Taiji gradually changed. On one hand, Deyinze was excluded in the political struggles of the Later Jin's later period due to conflicts with other forces. On the other hand, Huang Taiji gradually weakened Deyinze's power during the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. For example, Huang Taiji once appointed his trusted confidant Ajige to replace Deyinze as the Grand Commander.

Although Deyinze's position during the Huang Taiji period was affected, he still achieved remarkable military feats for the country in the early Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi period, Deyinze was appointed as the Prince of Pingxi, responsible for suppressing the rebellion in the Xinjiang region. However, shortly after suppressing the rebellion, Deyinze passed away due to illness, at the age of 58.

Overall, the relationship between Deyinze and Huang Taiji was complex and subtle. They were once loyal comrades-in-arms who made significant contributions to the establishment and development of the Later Jin. However, in the early Qing Dynasty, due to various reasons, their relationship gradually changed. Nonetheless, we should still remember these two outstanding historical figures, who left indelible marks in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
