The Drum Tower Campus in Kaiyuan City was bloody and bloody by the Jianzhou Left Guards commanded by Nurhachi. Fortunately, the number of people on both sides was limited, so the scale of the killing was not large. On the contrary, the situation outside the city at this time was even more cruel than inside the city.
point.
The war outside the city and the war inside the city broke out at almost the same time. Cao Yu, the deputy general guarding Liaoyang, was the main general of this battle. There is no doubt about this, but the deputy general was more unexpected, and he turned out to be Hadabel Menggebulu.
.
Menggebulu attached great importance to this battle, because he had received Gao Pragmatic confirmation that as long as he won this battle, he could officially inherit the position and canonization of his father Wangtai (Wan Khan) in the Ming Dynasty, and become Hada legitimately.
The only leader of the department.
This is really something we can't be unhappy about, because Wang Tai used to be the number one younger brother of the Ming Dynasty among the Jurchen tribes. In the original history, when he died of illness, the "Ming Dynasty Records" described it as "died of illness" instead of
Like the general Jurchen "captive chief", one word "die" can express it.
Wangtai's position and "title" are also extraordinary. He was conferred by Zhu Yijun as "General Longhu of Youzhu Kingdom, Khan of Manchuria", and even his cousin De, who welcomed Wangtai into the Hada tribe in the early years.
Hi, at that time they were all canonized as Beile, the governor of Hada tribe.
To be honest, Menggebulu himself never thought that he would be able to "pacify the Khan of Manchuria". According to his thinking, it would be good to inherit his position - the Hada Department's position is the left guard of the Ming Dynasty Pagoda Mountain.
The highest one is Tashan Zuowei Zuodudu.
[Note: "Manchuria" is not a geographical noun, but a tribal noun. According to the "Records of Emperor Taizu Gao of the Qing Dynasty": "The word Manchuria has a new origin and represents the name of the tribe. If it is cautious, it will be unlucky. Jurchen,
It’s not a place name.”
According to the "Research on the Origin of Manchuria": "Based on the examination of national documents, the Manchu version is called Manzhu, and both characters are read flatly. When I came to the east of the country, Tibet presented alchemy books every year, and they were all called the Great Emperor Manzhu Shri. Translation
The name is Manzhu, and the Chinese character is wonderful and auspicious...Today the Chinese character is Manzhou, because the meaning of the word "zhou" is close to the name of the place, so I borrowed it under the guise, and then I heard it. In fact, it is a tribe, not a place name, and it can be tested in its chapters."]
Regarding the history of the Hada tribe and matters such as the king's declaration as Khan, there are also some origins that must be explained, otherwise many questions will not be understood.
Hada belongs to the Nala clan (i.e. Nala clan), and its ancestors originally lived in the area around the Hulun River (Hulan River). In the fourth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty established Tashan Guards in this area, with Ta Cichi as the commander.
In the eleventh year of the Zhengtong reign, the Tashan Guards commanded Jin Shifuzhi, who had a large number of people under his control. "It is inconvenient to report the news, please set up a guard to seal it."
, the Ming court agreed to analyze the Tashan Guard and set up another Tashan Left Guard. The Tashan Left Guard was located from the east of the Hulan River to the west of Yilan County.
The members of the Hada Tribe are from the Tashan Left Guards. Therefore, historical records indicate that the Hada Tribe and the Ula Tribe from the Tashan Guards have the same ancestor - Naqibulu (suspected to be the pronunciation of Tacibulu). From the sixth generation of Naqibulu to Soheita (
When Kesina was the leader of Tashan's left guard, he was also called the "Left Commander of Tashan's forward guard".
[Note: Later, the "Seal of Tashan Zuowei" was unearthed in Taonan County, Jilin Province, indicating that by the time of Suheite at the latest, Tashan Zuowei had moved from Tashanweidong to the south of Tashanwei, and was approximately located in Fuyu, Jilin Province today.
, Nong'an County and the former Gorros Mongolian Autonomous County area.]
Suheite was the chief among the Haixi Jurchens in the early years of Jiajing, "all tribes feared him". However, around the twelfth year of Jiajing, Suheite was killed by his tribesman Badai Darhan, and his descendants fled. The second son
Wangji Wailan (i.e. Wang Zhong) led some of his tribe to flee to the Hada River (later Xiaoqing River, Xifeng County, Liaoning Province) area outside Guangshun Pass, where he was named minister and became the founder of the Hada tribe.
Guangshun Pass is also known as "Nanguan Pass" [Note: It corresponds to the "North Pass" that Ye He took to enter Kaiyuan mentioned in the previous book]. The eldest son of Wangji Wailan's son was named Wan, that is, Wangtai, and fled
To "Xibo Suiha City", this place is west of Jilin City in later generations.
Around the 22nd year of Jiajing, Wang Zhong, who moved to Guangshun Guandong, built Hada City sixty miles east of Kaiyuan City, and then attached himself to the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Hada became the northern barrier of the Ming Dynasty, and gradually showed signs of strength, regardless of the Jurchen
All tribes, as well as the surrounding Mongolian tribes, respected him as their leader and paid tribute every year. Even the distant "barbarian" Jurchen tribes often sent people to pay tribute to various products, claiming to be "an endless stream of foreigners."
In the 30th year of Jiajing, Wang Zhong killed the then Yehebel Zhu Kongge, and Yehe's land Jiba Taizhai and other thirteen cities were occupied by Wang Zhong, and a large number of imperial edicts originally belonging to Yehe's tribe were robbed - this is Hai
There are a total of 999 imperial books in the West, but the reason why Yehe, as a large tribe, only has more than 100 imperial books left.
Later, Zhu Kongge's son Taichu took over his father's position. In order to avenge his father, he madly harassed Hada and plundered the Kaiyuan and Chaihe Fort areas near the Ming Dynasty - so Taichu was later captured by Wangtai and sent to the Ming Dynasty for execution. Since then,
The hatred between the two sides is very deep.
But in the same year, Hada was in civil strife again, and Wang Zhong was killed by rebel tribesmen. In order to avenge his father, his son Borkun and his clan brother Dexi went to Suiha City to welcome his cousin Wangtai back to the Hada tribe to head the Hada tribe.
From then on, Hada began to prosper and established the powerful Hulun Four Kingdoms Alliance - actually it is the Four Kingdoms Alliance, but it is not only the Four Kingdoms, but also the Jurchen tribes such as Hada, Huifa, Yehe, Wula, Jianzhou Hunhe tribe, and some wandering tribes in Mongolia.
Members of the alliance - thus ordering the Jurchens and Mongolian border tribes (including Xibo at this time). Since then, Liaodong has enjoyed peace of farming and hunting for more than thirty years.
In the third year of Wanli, Li Chengliang conquered Wang Gao. Wang Gao was defeated and went to Wangtai, but was directly captured by Wangtai and sent to the Ming Dynasty for execution. It was precisely because of this incident that Zhu Yijun (originally Zhang Juzheng was in charge at this time in history)
In this book, Gao Gong is in charge) and he is granted the title of "Youzhu Kingdom, General Longhu", "the Khan of Manchuria" (called "Wanhan" in Tatar and Qing historical records), and Dexi is awarded the title of Captain Beile of the Hada Tribe.
, the four tribes of Hulun in Haixi were all controlled by him, and the power of Hada reached its peak.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the subsequent situation, it has been described in the previous article, so I will not repeat it here. I will only add one thing, which is about the surname issue.
The Yehenala family is called "Nala with a different surname", so there must be a real surname or the same surname as Nala. As mentioned just now, Ula, the leader of Hada, originally had the same ancestor, and they were both "Naqibulu"
"The descendants of.
The difference between Ula and Hada is that the Ula faction in Juhurun headquarters still uses "Nala (Nala)" as the surname to the outside world. Historically, descendants of the Tatars and later generations mostly have surnames such as "Na" and "Zhao".
The Hada faction outside Guangshun Pass in Kaiyuan Wei who moved south to northern Liaoning continued to use the old surname "Wanyan". The descendants of the Tatar Qing Dynasty and later mostly used "Wang" and "Wang" as their surnames, and some also used "Na".
"Bu" and other surnames.
Therefore, Wangzhong and Wangtai are actually Wanyanzhong and Wanyantai, which may have some "Ming-style transliteration" meaning.
Speaking of which, the reason why Meng Gebulu did not dare to expect to succeed the so-called "Lord of Manchuria" was mainly due to his current limited strength: the Hada tribe had already shown a trend of decline in the later period of Wangtai's rule, and was faintly threatened.
Ye He overshadowed the trend. After Wangtai died of illness and Ye He attacked, the original "fear of all tribes" no longer existed.
There was also a big problem within Hada. First, Hu Erhan inexplicably went to fight with Nurhaci, the left guard of Jianzhou. As a result, Nurhaci didn't even show his face, and he was killed by Anfei Yanggu's small group of elites.
He was beaten violently, and after returning home, he probably became more and more angry, and in the end he died.
Then came Hada Sanfen, Kang Gulu, and Dai Shan (also known as evil merchants), each of whom had their own strength. Meng Gebulu only managed to occupy an orthodox name with the support of his mother, Sister Wen, and the actual troops were relatively limited.
——His troops came from Sister Wen, who served as regent for a short period of time according to Mongolian and Jurchen traditions after Wangtai's death, and controlled some of the elites directly under Wangtai.
So in this case, Meng Gebulu originally thought that it would be good to be the commander of the Tashan left guard. It would be better if he was the commander of the capital. As for the commander... he felt that it was basically a luxury, and "Manchuria"
"Lord of the Kingdom" is even more unthinkable.
However, Gao Futai was extremely pragmatic and generous, saying that as long as he can perform well in today's battle, not to mention that the highest position of the Hada Department, "Tashan Left Guard and Left Governor" will still be awarded to Meng Gebulu, and even the Lord of Manchuria will also
You can continue to let the Hada tribe inherit - that is, he, Meng Gebulu, inherits.
Faced with such a big pie falling from the sky, how could Meng Gebulu not be excited!
Meng Gebulu knew very well that normally, whether the Jurchen tribes could be canonized by the Ming Dynasty depends on bloodline and strength. There is no problem with his bloodline, but there is a big problem with strength. If nothing unexpected happens,
There is definitely no chance of being the leader of Manchuria, but now not only is there a chance, but the task does not seem to be difficult.
Although Ye He had 1,700 cavalry outside the city, they were leaderless. The two Beile brought one of their sons and the leading general Bai Huchi into the city. The 1,700 people outside the city did not have unified command at all.
Although Meng Gebulu only brought a thousand cavalry to Kaiyuan, these thousand cavalry were the personal guards of the Great Khan in Wangtai in the past, and their combat effectiveness was the mainstay of the Hada tribe. It was his mother, Sister Wen, who specially sent him to Kaiyuan.
What he brought to Gao Pragmatic for review - in other words, these were the most capable thousand cavalry.
Of course, since the Hada tribe was frightened by Ye He not long ago, Menggebulu actually felt a little guilty just relying on these thousand cavalry. However, there were still three thousand elite Ming troops outside the city at this time.
Second only to Li Chengliang in Liaodong, Uncle Li was the servant of Cao Yun, the deputy commander-in-chief who guarded Liaoyang. Now Meng Gebulu became bolder.
Not to mention that there are still 3,000 people from Fubiao, Liaodong, in Kaiyuan City at the moment, and 2,000 of them are cavalry, which were the absolute elite of the Allied Forces that defeated Tumen and Huahua half a year ago. Now they can only wait for Ye He Erbeile in the city to be crowned, and they can come at any time.
You can go out of the city to help in the battle.
Hum, with Ming Dynasty’s father’s heavenly troops pressing down on the enemy, who would I, Meng Gebulu, be afraid of?
The battle outside the city started simultaneously after the cannon fire inside the city.
Cao Yan's three thousand servants have already replenished their horses with the support of Gao Pragmatic (after he was imprisoned, Cao Jian could not feed these many people and sold some horses), and now he hopes that this battle will make a big difference and be useful.
The imperial court paid back the interest-free loan given by Gao Futai, so the battle was particularly vigorous.
The temporary station of Ye He's cavalry was in the north of Kaiyuan City. At this time, Cao Yu and Meng Gebulu had already quietly surrounded it. Among them, Cao Yu's 3,000 troops were responsible for the west and north sides, and Meng Gebulu was responsible for them.
To the east and south is the north gate of Kaiyuan City, so it doesn't matter, since Ye He's cavalry can't get in anyway - not to mention that the Liaodong Fubiao cavalry may come out of Kaiyuan North Gate at any time.
With four thousand encircling and suppressing one thousand seventeen, the Ming army had a clear advantage in strength, and in terms of desire to fight, the Ming army was now crushing Ye He's cavalry: Cao Yu was eager to win this battle, not only because he wanted to prove himself to the court
Ability, but also want to earn rewards and repay money, if you don’t work hard now, when will you work hard?
The servants also know that this battle is of great importance. From now on, whether they will eat well, drink spicy food, or drink cigarettes depends on today's battle, so it is no longer a matter of working hard for them. At this moment, it doesn't matter whether they work hard - the servants are different.
Guard soldiers, it is really better to escape than to die in battle. At least the reward for death in battle is very generous. But to escape, if you can run, the monk cannot run away from the temple. Your family is at the master's house, including your wife, children, parents, and even your younger brothers and sisters.
Don’t you want to raise it yourself?
The situation of Ye He's tribe was the other way around. When the cannons in the city were fired, the cavalry of Ye He's tribe outside the city were startled at first. They didn't know what was going on in the city. Then they thought about it. It might be Ming's habit of showing off their military skills.
After intimidating the two Belles, they felt relieved and continued to cook rice - they originally thought they could follow them into the city to have a meal, but now that the governor of Liaodong couldn't eat the food, of course they had to cook it themselves.
However, before they could prepare the meal, Cao Yun and Meng Gebulu came unexpectedly to kill them.
Cao Yu's Western Route Army, led by his younger brother Cao Jian, who was on the expedition, came from the west, Menggebulu's thousand cavalry came from the east, and Cao Yu himself led an army directly from the north.
Looking at the encirclement of these three parties, there was no way to survive, and we knew that the purpose of the Ming army in this battle was not to defeat them, but to completely annihilate them.
The reaction of Ye He's cavalry was not too fast. After all, they did not expect this to happen at all, but they were not too slow either. After all, the appearance of the Ming army might make them hesitate, but the appearance of Meng Gebulu did not.
What’s the controversy? Ye He and Hada have long been rivals!
The enemies were extremely jealous when they saw each other. Ye He's cavalry shouted and found their own mounts, got on their horses and started to fight.
However, due to the lack of a leader, the performance of the elite members of Ye He's tribe at this time was not very good - most of them subconsciously went directly to fight Meng Gebulu, while only a small number of Ye He who were too close to the west and north sides
The cavalry had no choice but to resist Cao Yun and Cao Jian's offensive.
The situation soon became uncontrollable. Although Menggebulu's side was in a hard fight, the Hada cavalry, under the pressure of Daming's father, was more than twice as effective as when they faced Ye He alone. Facing them
Ye He's cavalry, who were no less powerful than them, were not afraid at all when they came to kill them. The two sides fought evenly, and even under the personal leadership of Meng Gebulu, they even gradually gained a slight advantage.
As for Cao Yun and Cao Jian, because Meng Gebulu held back their hatred, they almost formed a huge advantage of four against one. They quickly broke through the obstruction of Ye He's scattered cavalry and completely surrounded the main force of Ye He's cavalry.
At this time, Ye He's cavalry had lost more than 300 people, and more than a thousand cavalry were compressed in a very cramped farmland. At this time, the land in northern Liaoning had not yet thawed. It was said to be farmland, but it was not flat land.
How much difference.
The Ming Dynasty's father began to show his advantages. After Gao Pingshi took office, the Wanli Type 1 musket (short-barreled lance style) that Gao Pragmatic replaced for Cao Yun's troops once again showed his domineering power. Although it was difficult for the cavalry to fire any volleys, Cao Yun at this time
However, Yan began to practice a new set of tactics he learned from Ma Dong: wall push.
The wall cavalry charge is considered a classic move of the French later. Although Gao Pragmatic only knew its form, he had real cavalry experts under his command, so after many discussions with Ma Fang, Ma Fang asked Ma Dong to test one.
The new tactic is to use the "wall type" proposed by Gao Futai, that is, to advance slowly in a dense formation, and during the advancement process, it is divided into several rows, showing an overlapping and advancing trend. When each row turns to the front row, according to the
Order to fire simultaneously.
This tactic has relatively large limitations. For example, overlapping advancement will reduce the density of the formation, and the slow advancement of the cavalry is not conducive to the accelerated charge and engagement in the later stage.
However, the Wanli Type-1 musket at this time has comprehensive advantages in four aspects: range, accuracy, loading speed and lethality, which can greatly make up for these limitations, making this tactic difficult to use frequently, but as long as there is a chance to use it,
The effect is still barely noticeable.
Ye He's cavalry soon got a taste of the power of the "musketeer wall advance". They originally planned to countercharge as a team, but they were knocked upside down by three waves of salvos while they were still forming a team. At least a hundred people (cavalry) lost their combat effectiveness immediately.
, or he was shot dead on the spot, or his life or death was uncertain.
Without the training and battle formation methods that Nurhaci learned from Li Chengliang and the bonus of the Eight Banners system, the Jurchens would have no advantage against the Ming army's strict military formation war. Ye He's cavalry was already leaderless, and now it was even more
The fight was so complete that there was no organization, and everyone was so anxious that they didn't even bother to form a team, and they were fighting alone in twos and threes.
Some of the bold ones shouted directly to charge towards the Ming army - well, now they can only charge individually; some of the timid ones were even more unbearable, and either subconsciously retreated, or simply turned their horses and charged towards the Hada cavalry.
Go, hoping to break through the siege of the Hada tribe and escape.
In their minds, the fact that the Hada tribe was the defeated general was not a sign of courage. It was always easier to attack the Hada tribe's cavalry than to attack the group of Ming army servants who were advancing like a wall. This was also one of the advantages of the wall cavalry.
It looks like it is "impossible to move". This can be seen from the Iron Float Pictures from the heyday of the Jin Kingdom.
However, Meng Gebulu was already jealous at this time. Seeing victory in sight, the "Lord of Manchuria" was already beckoning to him. How could he tolerate falling short?
He shouted angrily at that time: "Hatha warriors! Take revenge today! Kill me——"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!--"
Even Cao Yan was taken aback by the sudden outburst of hatred from the Hada cavalry, but after all, he was a veteran general with rich battle experience. When he saw Meng Gebulu himself, he was charging ahead with three layers of armor.
, how could you miss such a good opportunity?
"Da Ming - Wan Sheng!"
Cao Yu shouted: "Change the formation—charge the formation! Kill!"
"Daming——Wan Sheng! Kill!"
The surging Ming army cavalry launched a general attack at this moment.
This piece of fertile land will soon be completely covered with blood...
