During his reign, he united the northeast of China, southwardly entered Korea Peninsula, westwardly fought against Mongolian and defeated the troops of Ming Dynasty for several times. In 1636, he officially established Qing Dynasty, and changed his tribe’s name to be Manchuria. He was ambitious and led his troop forward west. Via two large battles, he annihilated the strongest part of troops of Ming dynasty. Huangtaiji read a lot of books concerned about history and management. In military, he was bold and smart; in politics, he was pioneering and exploring; in culture, he largely learnt from Han people. He died before his military entered Shanhai Pass.
