Chapter 185 There is always something going on in Liaodong (Part 1)
Due to the distance, after Dinghai's inspection in the capital was completed, it was not until Gao Qiuzhen became Gao Rixin and began to build the Rixin Building that Li Chengliang of Liaodong knew about Shen Shixing. In order to protect him, Duke Wang Xijue even learned from the old camp in Jiangnan
A lot of interests were given up, and a group of Nanjing Xinxue officials were pulled down by Hai Rui.
This incident made Li Chengliang feel guilty and nervous. What made him feel guilty was that if he had not acted secrecy, these losses could have been avoided. Although he, Li Chengliang, was not the leader of the Xin School, he was responsible for the current situation.
It is inevitable that you will feel sorry for yourself.
However, Li Chengliang was not only guilty about this, but also very angry. He felt that he should have been sold by Tumen - or, more likely, by Burihatu.
If the leak was really because Tumen was sloppy, then it wouldn't matter. But after thinking about it, Li Chengliang felt that no matter how sloppy Tumen was, he couldn't be so sloppy. After all, he was the "Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty", and he was around him.
Isn't there even someone to take care of the paperwork?
Therefore, the most likely scenario is that Burihatu leaked it deliberately. The reason is not complicated. If he left such a tail, the Ming Dynasty would probably give up further pursuit of the Mongols after the Battle of Northern Liaoning because it wanted to strictly investigate the internal affairs. Even if the Ming Dynasty originally
There is no such plan, but as Tumen's military advisor, Burihatu must always be prepared for this.
Obviously, Li Chengliang was unfortunately regarded as the tail by Burihatu and thrown out.
In addition to guilt and anger, Li Chengliang is still very nervous now. Although Shen Yuanfu persisted and helped him eliminate the responsibility, the matter itself was treating the symptoms rather than the root cause: Shen Shixing could not eliminate the evidence.
It was only through the exchange of interests that Gao Pragmatism reached a temporary agreement. Once Gao Pragmatism regrets afterwards, he can bring the matter up for "discussion" at any time.
This was of course too dangerous, so Li Chengliang had to find ways to eliminate hidden dangers. The evidence in Gao Pragmatic's hand was nothing more than the letters found in Beilebuzhai Mansion in Yehexi City. It was impossible for him to invite Tumen and Burihatu to the capital for questioning.
Therefore, this evidence itself is isolated evidence.
Isolated evidence is not accurate. If Gao Pragmatic really wants to continue to be entangled in this matter, he will most likely have to follow these letters to find the person who wrote the letter - he is still here with Li Chengliang, so Li Chengliang has to hide him.
This matter is not difficult to handle. Although Li Chengliang no longer listens to Li Chengliang in the east of Liaohe River, he is still a local emperor here in western Liaoning. What does it mean to hide someone?
However, Li Chengliang felt that he could not be so passive all the time. He had to find something to prove that his sword was immortal. Liaodong still couldn't do without his uncle Ning Yuan, so that he could truly be at peace.
Li Chengliang is very familiar with the job of looking for trouble. Liaodong has been really busy lately, but it's a bit troublesome to get it related to him, Li Chengliang.
What happened? It turned out that Nurhaci was restless again.
Not long after Nurhachi raised his army two years ago, he was playing a game of chasing each other with Nikan Wailan. At that time, a fight broke out on the south bank of the Hun River from Jiefan to Nanshan (later east of Fushun County, Liaoning Province) with Zhechen and other tribes and Wuzhai.
Coalition operations.
At that time, the Zhechen tribe was subordinate to Nikan Wailan. After Nikan Wailan abandoned the city and fled, Nurhaci took over the city and personally led 500 infantry and cavalry to conquer the Zhechen tribe in April of that year.
But things were rather unlucky. Floods were flooding and the march was difficult. Nurhachi ordered all the troops to return to the stronghold, and only took 50 elite Mianjia men and 30 iron armored men from his own army and his younger brother Shuerhaqi's army to continue marching north. And the same thing happened.
The five villages of Tuomuhe, Zhangjia, Barda, Salhu, and Jiefan, which are affiliated to Nikanwailan, combined 800 troops to jointly stop the Nurhaci brothers.
Perhaps because of the flood, the sentinels sent by Nurhachi failed to report the enemy's situation in time. As a result, when Nurhaci and Shuerhaqi led their troops to the vicinity of the Hun River, the coalition forces were already in stand-up positions from Jiefan to Nanshan.
In the face of a formidable enemy, Nurhachi personally held the banner and took the lead in fighting. Seeing that the enemy's position was immobile, he decided to dismount and led his brother and four others into the encirclement, and immediately shot and killed more than 20 people.
Although the allied troops were numerous, they did not belong to each other. Seeing Nurhachi's fierce approach, the camp was in chaos, and they all crossed the river to escape. Nurhachi took a short rest, waited for the follow-up troops to arrive, reorganized his armor, and continued to pursue the enemy until victory.
It stands to reason that the scale of this "Battle of Hunhe" was not large, and the two sides combined only invested less than a thousand people. However, because the brothers Nurhaci and Shuerhaqi actually fought eighty against eight hundred, so although
Although the victory was won, there were also many casualties under his command. The warriors who could just be named such as Yabahai, Buha, Bayan, Sunzhaqin, Yamubang Yuli, Lange, Shiertai, Dumubu, etc. all fought with all their strength.
die.
Considering that Nurhaci's strength was very limited at that time, this battle was of course still very important. In order to stabilize the morale of the army at that time, Nurhaci also carried out a large-scale memorial service to the souls of the dead.
From the perspective of this battle, there are two points worth noting: First, the role of elite troops is obvious. Nurhaci originally brought 500 men to fight, but once the situation was difficult, he simply chose to bring only elite troops. This shows that he had great influence on the armored troops under his command at that time.
Eighty Elite is very confident. And judging from the results, his confidence is really well-founded.
The second is that the "coalition force" thing is very unreliable. If you can defeat 800 or 80, what else is there to say? If I ask a high pragmatic evaluation, since you are not an elite soldier, then you will just rely on your superiority in military strength to gain ground.
The city is well defended, and although there is a lack of initiative in fighting such a silly battle, Nurhachi's losses will be even greater.
Considering that Nurhachi's capital at that time was actually only those 80 elite soldiers, he might have simply withdrawn his troops after losing a large number of troops? It can be seen that this Nikan Wailan is really a raging nest, and even the level of his subordinates is all bronze.
But it is said that in the so-called "Jurchen Unification War" in later generations, the most famous battle between Nurhaci and Ye He was also the defeat of the invading Ye He's "nine coalition forces" by his own strength - it seems that the Jurchens
You can't build a coalition, at least you can't build a coalition without a clear core, otherwise it will be a mess with no combat effectiveness.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, after this victory, Nurhachi had no time to "eliminate the roots" and went back to chase Nikan Wailan. Therefore, in July of the following year, Nurhachi had free hands.
Then he led his troops to attack Tuomohe City again, but unfortunately, there was a thunderstorm. Nurhaci felt that God would not allow him to win at this moment, so he stopped his troops.
Not long after Nikan Wailan's game was over, Nurhaci personally led his troops to appease the city and captured its city without attacking it.
At this time, the Zhechen tribe was already dying, and only the last stronghold was left. Nurhachi originally planned to capture it, but it happened that Tumen sent troops to Yehe and invited Nurhaci to divide it, so it was delayed.
After the Battle of Northern Liaoning, Nurhaci had no choice but to withdraw his troops from Hada in despair due to the restraint of Gao Pragmatic and the oppression of Ming Dynasty. Originally, he planned to go back to Jianzhou directly, but halfway through, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he suddenly discovered that the Zhechen tribe
The remaining mountain stronghold was not far away. So Nurhachi, who was full of empty anger and had no place to vent his anger, led his troops to attack the remaining tribe of Zhechen again, defeated the stronghold, and killed its leader Altai.
The Zhechen tribe was finished like this. However, it was not the demise of the Zhechen tribe that made Li Chengliang think about it. The Zhechen tribe was actually just an appetizer, and the main course was eaten by Nurhachi after he returned to Hetuala after destroying the Zhechen tribe.
Came up with an idea.
This time, Nurhachi targeted Dong E's tribe, which made Li Chengliang's heart move and even tighten.
The Dong'e tribe is a tribe with noble blood. Who are their ancestors? Many people will be surprised to know that the Dong'e tribe is actually a descendant of the Zhao family of the Northern Song Dynasty.
They were taken captive to the north during the Jin Dynasty and "became natives for a long time and became Jurchens". In the fifth year of Zhengtong, they moved westward with the left guard of Jianzhou and arrived within the scope specified by the Ming court. On the Donggu River
After settling down, they took the place as their surname and called it the Dong'e clan. As the population multiplied, they formed a tribe of their own, called the Dong'e tribe.
Specifically, the Dong'e tribe was located in the southeast of the Sukesu River, that is, the lower reaches of the Hunjiang River Basin in later generations, and lived along the tributaries on the west side of the Pozhu River. To the south were Aiyang and Kuandian Liubao, and its main city was Huanren in Dandong, Liaoning Province in later generations.
The Dong E tribe also belonged to the Jianzhou Jurchens and was a tribe of the Jianzhou Left Guards. It later became the strongest tribe among the five Jianzhou tribes. Since Nurhachi regarded himself as the leader of Jianzhou, he naturally would not let the Dong E tribe go. In fact, after he inherited his father's
In the second year of his career, he had already conquered Dong E's tribe once. At that time, he first targeted the tribe's Qijida City, but because he failed to capture it, he diverted his attack to another city in the tribe, called Weng.
Guo Luocheng.
The problem is that even though Nurhachi holds the title of commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, you can't beat your own "subordinates" for no reason, right? So there is also a trigger for war.
The trigger for this conquest was a woman.
Ahana, the second son of Baoshi, the sixth ancestor of Nurhaci, wanted to marry the sister of Bashan, the minister of Sakda. Unexpectedly, Bashan thought Ahana's family was poor and firmly disagreed with the marriage.
Soon after, Bashan married his sister to Elji, the son of Don'e Minister Keche Bayan.
One day, Elji went out and passed through Abdaligaon (later the junction of Xinbin and Huanren counties in Liaoning Province), and was killed by a group of thieves. During the fight, the murderers called each other, and one of them once called A
Naha's name was remembered by one of Elgi's followers.
After the follower fled back to the Don'e tribe, he told Elegi's father, Don'e Minister Kechebayan, that the person who killed Elegi was Ahana, and he must have been with Bashan because he did not marry Bashan's sister.
Elji had a grudge.
In fact, this was a misunderstanding. It was not this Ahana who killed Elgi. It was just a coincidence that one of the murderers was also named Ahana. But it was this misunderstanding that caused Minister Dong'e and Nurhachi's six grandfathers to have a conflict.
(Historically known as Ningutabel), they forged a deep hatred and constantly led troops to plunder Ningutabel's territory.
Nurhachi's six grandfathers suffered heavy losses due to the invasion of Kechenba'e, so they all got together to find a solution. Some people said: "We are all born from the same ancestor, but due to the proliferation of population, we are now divided into twelve groups.
This scattered state of residence makes our strength in each place very weak and unable to deal with the enemy's invasion. We should gather the entire clan into a large city so that we can have the strength to defend against the enemy's attack.
"
This proposal was immediately opposed by Wu Tai, the son of the third ancestor Suo Chang'a. He said: "Everyone lives together in one place, and safety is somewhat guaranteed, but how can our livestock survive? The pasture is limited and the livestock cannot eat enough.
It is difficult to reproduce. We might as well borrow troops from Hadawan Khan and attack the Dong'e tribe. Only by defeating our opponents can we get real security."
But it is obvious that Wan Khan in his later years was unable to save himself when crossing the river, so he had no time to deal with such nonsense, so the matter was temporarily ignored. It was not until Nurhachi took over the "legacy" of his father and ancestors and began to unify and build the state that this matter was
The matter was brought up again and used as a pretext for war.
In the autumn of the twelfth year of Wanli, Nurhaci led an expedition of 500 troops to the Dong'e tribe. At this time, Keche Bayan's younger brother Ahaibayan was appointed as the minister of the Dong'e tribe. Ahaibayan lived in Qijida City in the Dong'e tribe (
At the confluence of the Hun River and Laha River in the eastern part of Huanren Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province), the city was surrounded by water and mountains, and the situation was very dangerous.
Ahaibayan believed that Nurhachi led his troops from afar to fight quickly, which would not last long. Therefore, he evacuated the residents outside the city into the city in advance, transported all the new grain that had just been harvested to the city for storage, and selected 400
The elite soldiers were responsible for the task of city defense, and the city gates were closed tightly. They came to a strong wall and cleared the field to wait for work, waiting for Nurhaci to attack.
When Nurhachi led his troops to Qijida City, he saw that the city gate was closed and the soldiers on the city were waiting with their bows drawn. They knew that Ahaibayan wanted to defend the city with a fortified city. But just as Ahaibayan expected, Nurhachi had to go all the way.
When he arrived, there was indeed not much food and grass. He did not dare to delay after arriving at the city and personally led the soldiers to launch a strong attack.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unexpectedly, the soldiers defending the city were very tenacious. They resisted with all their might, and the ladder could not be raised at all. The soldiers in front suffered heavy casualties, and there was no progress in the first day's attack.
On the next day, Nurhachi asked his soldiers to prepare a large number of rockets - these so-called rockets are arrows with flammable materials tied to the arrows. They are different from the Ming army's gunpowder thrust rockets. The Ming army's rocket launchers are actually a bit like those of later generations.
(historical facts).
On the third day, Nurhachi said to his soldiers: "Ahai Bayan has evacuated all the residents outside the city into the city. Although it is beneficial to defend the city, the food and grass in the city are piled up and there are many people. As long as a few places catch fire, it will inevitably happen."
Big chaos."
So he asked Er Yidu to lead 200 archers to concentrate on firing rockets at the tower and the city. He asked Anfeyangu to lead the rest of the soldiers to prepare for the siege. When the fire broke out in the city, he immediately set up ladders to attack Qijida City.
This plan really worked. After a large number of rockets were fired into the city, first the towers caught fire, and then the fire inside the city shot up into the sky. The soldiers on the city wall were in chaos, and cries continued to be heard in the city.
Nurhaci was overjoyed. He was about to order an attack on the city. Who would have thought that God had played a big joke on Nurhachi. Because it was late autumn in September, the climate in the mountains of Liaodong not only got cold early, but also was unpredictable. A heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky, and
It rained harder and harder, and soon the firelight in the city gradually disappeared, leaving only bursts of thick smoke that were very conspicuous among the white flakes of snow.
It was snowing so heavily that it was difficult for the soldiers to climb the ladder to attack the city. Nurhachi sat on his horse and looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky. He was stunned for a long time, and he had no choice but to shake his head: "Since God is not willing, we have to withdraw our troops temporarily.
"
Nurhaci ordered not to leave a house for Ahai Bayan outside the city, but to burn all the houses outside the city. In order to avoid being extinguished by the heavy snow, they lit fires from inside the house and waited until they burned to the outhouse, even if they were extinguished by the snow.
, the house was about to collapse. So it was not until all the villages outside the city were set on fire that Nurhachi's soldiers began to evacuate Qijida City.
Originally, the matter should have come to an end at this point, but Ahai Bayan refused. When he was in Qijida City, he saw that the heavy snow had extinguished the fire in the city, and Nurhachi's soldiers had all retreated. He couldn't help laughing and said:
"God really has eyes, little Nurhachi thief, since you are already here, why do you need to leave!" So he ordered: "Soldiers, come out of the city to pursue me!" He personally led the soldiers to rush out of the city while shouting.
Unfortunately, Nurhachi had already been prepared for this. As soon as Ahaibayan left the city, he saw a group of men coming out of the city shrouded in thick smoke. The leader was Nurhaci.
Ahai Bayan was taken aback and hurriedly responded to the challenge in panic. Nurhachi said nothing and slashed at the Dong'e soldiers with his sword. In a moment of fighting, four soldiers died under Nurhachi's sword.
Seeing that they were ambushed as soon as they came out of the city, the other soldiers were so frightened that they couldn't see how many ambush soldiers there were in the smoke. In order to ensure the safe retreat of his soldiers, Nurhachi only took twelve soldiers with him in this battle.
The bravest soldiers set up an ambush, and finally killed Albayan's pursuers and returned with a great defeat.
Although there was no real winner in this battle, the gap between the two families had grown stronger. Nurhachi, who withdrew from Hada to Jianzhou and was reprimanded by the Ming Dynasty, was still angry and made a decision
:Since the Ming Dynasty does not allow me to touch Ye He and Hada, then I will beat up my own disobedient subordinates in Jianzhou. You have nothing to say, right?
