The name Gule Village may not be very famous in later generations. Speaking of Jurchens in Jianzhou, there are probably two most famous places, one is Sarhu and the other is Hetuala. The former is because of the Battle of Sarhu, and the latter
It's because it is Nurhaci's hometown.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, the "royal city" of the Jianzhou Jurchens was Gule Village, which was located in the area from Gulou Village to Shengli Village, Shangjiahe Town, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County.
During the Zhengtong period, the Jurchen left guard in Jianzhou settled in Hetuala City on the banks of the Sukesu River and at the foot of the Hulan Hada Mountains after experiencing several large-scale migrations in history. Shortly thereafter, a war broke out between Chief Fancha and Dong Shan's uncle and nephew.
Due to the Indian War, the tribe was in danger of splitting.
In order to effectively control the Jurchens in Jianzhou, the Ming court adopted the method of setting up right guards from the left guards, dividing the original Jianzhou left guards into two, and they became two guards from then on. After the right guards were established, Fan Cha
Dong Shan is in charge of the right guard, while Dong Shan is still in charge of the left guard.
In the initial period of time, the Jianzhou Right Guards who were separated still lived with the Left Guards in the Hetuala City area of Harsa Mountain, which was the Jianzhou Old Camp or Tiger City often mentioned in the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the rift between the two guards caused by the dispute over the seal would be difficult to heal for a while. The right guard was weaker and therefore was often rejected by the left guard. For this reason, Chief Fancha decided to take the lead.
The tribesmen moved westward along the Sukesu River to Gule Mountain and the Maldun area. The left and right guards took the five ridges, Qinglong Ridge (Maldun Ridge) as the boundary, thus forming the East-West Jianzhou and the East-Jianzhou
It refers to the left guard, while Xijianzhou refers to the right guard.
So how did the right guard rise and in turn overwhelm the left guard, making Gule Village the "king city" of the Jurchens in Jianzhou? Because the Ming army launched the "Battle of Dinghai".
In the "Battle of Dinghai", the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to attack the old camp of Jianzhou and the Wumi Mansion where the Jianzhou Guards were located. The chief of the Jianzhou Guards, Li Manzhu and his son, and the chief of the Jianzhou Zuowei, Dong Shan, were killed by the Ming army one after another.
The old camp in Jianzhou where he lived was wiped out by the Ming army. At this time, Fancha, the right guard of Jianzhou, heard the news and led his troops to escape into the mountains and escaped the disaster.
This is the first rise of the Jianzhou right guard.
But in the first year of Jingtai, Fancha repeatedly led his troops to plunder Mingbian in revenge for destroying the nest. He was captured by the Ming army and was finally detained and died in Liaodong. The post of the capital commander was determined by the Ming Dynasty, and was appointed by his eldest grandson Nahaha.
Inherit.
After Nalongha assumed the post, in order to avenge the murder of his father and ancestor, he repeatedly violated the border, and was later executed by the border officials of the Ming Dynasty. After Nalongha's death, the post of commander of the Jianzhou Right Guards was taken over by his uncle Bu Huatu.
When Bu Huatu was the commander of Youweidu, he still repeatedly caused rebellions in the border areas. "Small thieves moved into Liaoyang to steal horses and kill officers and soldiers" and "invaded Yizhou to plunder people and goods."
For this reason, the Ming court issued an order to the right guards, "Buha Tu has three guards to protect his integrity. He will appoint the commander of the capital, negotiate with the imperial edict, and order the people of this guard to be controlled. If he breaks the law again, he will not be punished." In the second year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty,
, Bu Huatu died, and his successors’ appointment to the post was not recorded in historical records.
In the decades after the death of Bu Huatu, the chief of Jianzhou Youwei, the Jurchen tribes were in a chaotic social state. The second rise of Jianzhou Youwei was in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The key figure in the rise was the person who has been mentioned before
That Wang Gao.
When Wang Gao was sixteen years old, he inherited his father's business and rebuilt Gule City. This coincided with the 24th year of Jiajing. After Wang Gao's power rose, he took over the post of commander of the right guard capital of Jianzhou and proclaimed himself the governor, "Jianzhou Zhuge Liang".
"The barbarians listen to Gao's orders." The grandfather of Nurhaci, the Tatar ancestor of the Qing Dynasty who was born in Jianzhou Zuowei, and his father Takshi were both subordinates of Wang Gao at this time, and the other descendants of the fifth ancestor also belonged to Wang Gao.
After the rise of Wang Gao's power, he carried out large-scale expansion and construction of Gule City. After the expansion, Gule City was renamed Gule City. The place is faced by water on three sides and backed by a mountain on one side. The Sukesu River flows through the south of the city and is sandwiched between
The river flows through the west of the city. There are natural cliffs on the west, north and south sides of the city, and it connects to Qinglong Mountain in the east, forming a natural barrier on three sides.
The defensive facilities were built with double inner and outer walls, and a city gate was built in the north of the city. In the inner city of Gule City, Wang Gao not only built his own meeting hall and residence, but also built more than 500 houses. He was determined to use this city as his
Relying on it, he established his dominant position in the Jurchen society and launched a military struggle with the military power of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty.
The war between Wang Gao and the Ming Dynasty has been described in the previous article of this book and will not be repeated here. In short, in the third year of Wanli, Wang Gao was defeated in Yanjing.
After Wang Gao was captured and killed, his son Atai insisted on rebelling against the Ming Dynasty. However, his strength had not yet been restored, his actions were not big, and he did not have enough impact. Governor Ji Liao, governor of Liaodong, and even Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, were not very fond of him.
Pay attention to.
But this year, Atai learned that the Battle of Monan was about to begin. He felt that it was a rare opportunity and began to invite "comrades and friends" to do great things. However, what Atai did not expect was that although the scale of the Monan War was huge, it would not be possible before.
The fight didn't last long, and as a result, before his side was fully prepared, Li Chengliang's side had already finished fighting.
At this moment, Atai was in an embarrassment: If he raised his troops, the opportunity would have been lost; if he did not raise his troops, all the preparations he had made would have been wasted.
Perhaps because of "God's mercy", another accident happened at this time. Tumen Khan, who was defeated in the Monan War, refused to give up. He actually rushed thousands of miles to Tieling, Li Chengliang's home base, defeated the Tieling guards, and urinated in front of the Li family's ancestral grave.
Got a handful.
This news made Atai very excited. He believed that the Ming army must have exaggerated the results of the Monan War. Although Tumen Khan failed to capture Tumote, the loss was not great. On the contrary, Li Chengliang's loss may be even greater.
Some.
Under this erroneous idea, Atai immediately gathered his brother Ahai and others, divided his troops into two groups, went deep into the interior, and invaded Shenyang. They went to the Hun River in the south of the city, and Dazong's thousands of cavalry raided the area around the mouth of the Hun River near Fushun City.
When Li Chengliang received his reward, he deeply hated Atai and told his left and right: "This rebellion is still here, and the disaster of Liao Dynasty has not been neglected." At the same time, under the instigation of Nikan Wailan, he was determined to eradicate the root cause.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since the imperial court has no money to fight another big war and can't retaliate against Tumen immediately, then he will vent all his anger on Atai's head, and immediately
He led the army more than a hundred miles out of Wanggangtai, Fushun, and went straight to Gule Village, Atai's old nest. He attacked Ahai Village with his special general, and led Yonikan Wailan to cooperate with him.
Li Chengliang knew that Takshi was Atai's son-in-law, and Jue Changan's granddaughter was Atai's wife [Note: It seems a bit confusing?], so he sent the two as guides for this campaign.
As mentioned just now, Gule Village is built on the mountain. The mountain is steep, with walls on three sides and surrounded by water. There are trenches underneath. Therefore, Atai is extremely well-defended, but Ahai Village was quickly conquered.
Li Chengliang mobilized two groups of soldiers to jointly attack Atai Village, but failed repeatedly. Moreover, Atai left the city many times to break out of the siege. Although he was unsuccessful, the Ming soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
This is also the reason why Zu Chengxun does not want to continue to attack the Gule Village - fighting the Jurchens is not as cost-effective as fighting the Mongols, because according to the military merits of the Ming Dynasty, the heads of the Mongols are the most valuable, and the Jurchens...
It's just a little more valuable than the inland grass bandits and thieves.
Therefore, in the eyes of his ancestor Chengxun, this Gule Village was just like a stone in a pit. It was smelly and hard, and it was useless to knock it down.
But Li Chengliang's vision is obviously not so short-sighted. If the battle in Liaonan reached a stalemate or simply that Liaonan could not resist, he would abandon the smelly and hard Gule Village in order to withdraw his troops and go back to rescue Liaonan.
, then forget it.
But it is different now. Now it is the Liaonan side who has defeated the Tumen Chaohua coalition without many elites at all, and even captured Chaohua alive in one fell swoop. Instead, Li Chengliang's direct subordinate Qin Deyi inexplicably "snatched the credit afterwards"
"In the process, he came back defeated...
Comparing the two, doesn't it seem that he, Li Chengliang, is extremely incompetent? If you think about it further, since the three people transferred by Gao Pingshi from Xuanda University are so powerful, they are all still young, and he, Li Chengliang, is both incompetent and old...
What would the emperor think?
So now, the situation has become irresistible. Not only must this Gule Village be captured, but it must also be killed in a sea of blood and corpses!
