The Ming Dynasty's support for Shuerhaqi was far more powerful than in the original history? Of course, this power was not given by the Ming Dynasty court. In the final analysis, it was given by Gao Pragmatism.
There is no need to mention Gao Jingshi's previous support and win over Shuerhaqi. At this moment, that is, at the same time that Cao Yun was discussing military affairs with his two generals Qi Jin and Ma Chengxun, Gao Jingshi also happened to be at the meeting.
Talk to people about support for Shulhazy.
Unlike the three generals who had delayed their lunch because of the war, Gao Jingshi had just returned from the Hubu Yamen to Shangshu Gao's mansion for dinner. Although the mansion was not completed, since the buildings on the original No. 1 scholar's side were not planned to be completely demolished, he
Lunch and lunch breaks are still arranged here.
Not only is he here, Liu Xin has also stayed here, not going to Baiyulou. In Liu Xin's own words, even though the Baiyulou Villa occupies a very large area, when she thinks about there is a highly pragmatic person there who has never been to the hotel.
The concubine felt embarrassed because it always reminded her of Huang Zhiting.
However, it is also beneficial for her to stay in Shangshu Mansion. After all, she is a "confidential secretary". It is always good to be close to Gao Jingshi's workplace. For example, at this time, Gao Jingshi was discussing Shuerhaqi's arrangements with her.
.
The emperor's intention has been very clear, which is to let Shuerhaqi replace Nurhachi. This does not mean that it cannot be accomplished. If Gao Pragmatic is willing to make up his mind, it is actually possible to kill Nurhachi and promote Shuerhaqi to the throne.
It's just that there will be some problems in the future, such as civil strife within Jianzhou, and Ming Dynasty will be involved.
But that is not the main thing. Gao Pragmatic feels that the biggest trouble is that if Nurhaci is really finished now, the balance of power within the entire Jurchen will become extremely disordered, and the subsequent development will be unpredictable.
From Gao Pragmatic's point of view, the Jurchens can only maintain stability if two conditions are met. The first is that the Ming Dynasty has an absolute crushing advantage over the entire Jurchens. A single sneeze can make all the Jurchens catch a cold. In this case
The Jurchen tribes did not dare to be unstable, because life and death depended on the Ming Dynasty's thoughts.
The second is to maintain a balance in the internal strength of the Jurchens. As long as the internal strength of the Jurchens is about the same, then even if the Ming Dynasty is not strong enough to crush them like ants at any time, they can only hold on to the thighs of the Ming Dynasty and not ask the Ming Dynasty to favor themselves.
, and also have to ask Ming not to favor their opponents.
The former situation is of course what Gao pragmatism pursues, but it is obviously not reached at present. The Ming Dynasty can indeed say that it does not pay attention to any Jurchen, but to the west of the Jurchen is Chahar, and it is a waste of energy on the Jurchen.
The pressure on Chahar has obviously weakened accordingly. At present, this is a typical case of putting the cart before the horse, regardless of the priority.
The latter situation is the objective reality at this stage, that is, although the Ming Dynasty is strong, the power that can be used here is limited, so it is more suitable to act as an arbiter, rather than always fighting with others personally. In this situation
, it requires that the strength of each Jurchen tribe is relatively balanced - only when the strength of both sides is about the same will they worry about external intervention. If one side really crushes the other, then the Ming Dynasty will probably not have time to intervene, or even be unable to intervene.
As a result, Gao Jingshi is inclined to "change, but not completely change" the current situation of the Jurchens. Regarding the matter between the brothers Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi, Gao Jingshi is inclined to let them separate.
, rather than Shuerhaqi directly replacing Nurhaci.
In the original history, Shuerhaqi made a move to separate from Nurhaci. This move was Shuerhaqi's reconstruction of the Jianzhou right guard. The reconstruction of the Jianzhou right guard was also the most important historical stage of Shuerhaqi's life.
, it marks the maturity of Shuerhaqi’s ideas of supporting Ming, and finally completed the ideological transformation from being conservative to supporting Ming.
This incident began after March of the 35th year of Wanli. "Of course the superiors did not send Shuerhaqi generals." Shuerhaqi was filled with sorrow and anger. He felt that it was difficult to coexist with his brother Nurhachi, so he "led the people to other places."
"I want to live in the village and go some other way", which was mentioned on Shulhaqi's top agenda.
What is quite fitting is that before and after this, the entire Ming court was also anxious about "the deterioration of the Liao Dynasty" and "the suppression of investment and investment".
Let’s talk about suppression. At that time, Nurhaci “had 30,000 elite soldiers”, while the officers and soldiers of Liaodong were “named 80,000, but today they are less than 8,000 capable of fighting.” From this point of view, this road is obviously unworkable;
Let's talk about "pacifying". Nurhaci "refused to pay tribute" for two consecutive years since the 33rd year of Wanli. The method of "pacifying" has become absurd. The only feasible way is to "use the name of the barbarians to control the barbarians."
There is nothing to worry about if you work hard and seal the frontier."
Therefore, as Li Chengliang and others who are familiar with the internal affairs of the Jurchens, it is impossible not to propose and implement the plan of supporting Shuerhaqi and rebuilding the right guards of Jianzhou as a foolproof plan. On December 16, the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, Shuer
The record that Ha Qi, as the leader of the Ming Dynasty's Jianzhou Right Guards, was officially received by the Ming court is proof that this plan has been implemented.
Since Shuerhaqi needs Mingting, and Mingting also needs Shuerhaqi, the alliance between the two is a matter of course and they hit it off immediately.
Gao pragmatically chatted with Liu Xin after lunch. Liu Xin listened to what he said, which was like a history lesson. However, she was now deeply influenced by Gao pragmatically, and she gradually became interested in these things.
Wen Gao pragmatically said: "I have never heard of this before. I only know that Nurhaci unified Jianzhou. The right guard of Jianzhou you mentioned was rebuilt. When was it rebuilt and where was it located?"
Gao pragmatically said: "There is no direct record of this matter in the history books. I have only recently deduced it slowly based on my memories. I found that Nurhaci had three abnormal behaviors at that time. These 'three abnormalities' were the key to determining the reconstruction of Jianzhou Right Guards."
The time provided important clues and basis.”
Liu Xin looked like she was listening attentively, adjusted her sitting posture and said, "I would like to hear the details."
Gao Pragmatic coughed slightly and said: "The first one is from March to June of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli. Nurhachi's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty was completely different. The Ming Dynasty records in March of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli said that Nurhaci'
He has become increasingly arrogant and has refused to pay tribute for two years. He seems to be preparing for a final break with the Ming court.
However, what is strange is that three months later, in June of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, Nurhaci went against his previous behavior and suddenly expressed that he "does not remember the old evil of Emperor Wanli and hopes to repair it again" and entered into an agreement with the Ming Dynasty's border ministers.
I have sworn that I will not cross the emperor's borders anywhere secretly, and my attitude can be described as 'sincere'."
Liu Xin asked: "I think there must be a reason for Nurhaci to behave like this, right? Is it because the pressure on him from the court increased at that time?"
"No." Gao Pragmatic shook his head and said: "The situation on the surface of Nurhachi at this time is probably the best period ever in its history. In the east, the former strong enemy Ulabu passed away in March of the thirty-fifth year of Wanli.
The battle of Wutanlian had greatly damaged the vitality, and since then they have retreated to Jilin, not daring to peep west, so the east has been greatly expanded.
To the north, Hada and Huifa were successively destroyed by them, and their forwards had pushed out of the original suburbs and reached Yehe's headquarters; to the southwest, the Ming army retreated from Kuandian Liubao, and the balance of power had undergone a fundamental turning point.
From then on, the threat from the Ming army to its base camp was completely eliminated.
At this point, the Ming Dynasty's entire defense system in the northeast had been completely disrupted by Nurhachi, and was in a passive situation where he could only parry but had no power to fight back. On the contrary, Nurhaci was just beginning to develop his grand plans and was full of ambition.
Therefore, I believe that there is no possibility of a sudden increase in external pressure, and the conclusion can only be found from within - that is Shuerhaqi's departure, which is the fundamental reason for Nurhachi's change of attitude."
"The root cause?" Liu Xin asked, with the word "fundamental" obviously emphasized in her tone.
Gao Pragmatic was unmoved, nodded calmly and said: "I have said before that at that time Shuerhaqi had the political and military status second only to Nurhaci among the Jurchens in Jianzhou, so Shuerhaqi's departure was a blow to Nurhaci.
It is like a fire in the backyard. If it is not put out quickly and is allowed to spread, then the business that he has worked so hard for many years will most likely be burned down, and all the hard work he has worked for half a life will be in vain."
"so what?"
"So for Nurhachi, the top priority was to quickly adjust the relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, after the 'June Oath', he actively negotiated the issue of paying tribute to Beijing from June to September, and in December he went to Yanjing to pay tribute.
.”
"Did he change his mind or delay?"
"Of course it is delaying time." Gao pragmatically said: "Nurhachi's series of actions are intended to show 'learning well' and 'loyalty', so as to contain the Ming court so as to overcome this crisis with all its strength. This is Nurhachi's act of being arrogant at first and respectful at the end.
All mysteries.”
"Well, what's the second anomaly?"
"The second article is that while Nurhaci expressed a moderate attitude towards the Ming court, in September of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, he also showed goodwill to his old enemy Beileb Zhantai of the Ula tribe, 'promoting his daughter and wife.
Send the ministers to present them with gifts."
Liu Xin smiled and said: "It seems that Nurhachi also likes to use the old method of making love."
"As long as the method is easy to use, it doesn't matter whether you are old or not." Gao pragmatically said: "The purpose of this move is obvious. The purpose of the marriage between Nurhaci and Ulla is to prevent Shuerhaqi from joining forces with Ulla. If Shuerhaqi was at that time,
When the three-way alliance between Ula and the Ming Dynasty is fully achieved, Nurhachi's ambitions will have to come to naught, so he did not hesitate to make a generous sacrifice at the expense of his own daughter."
"What about the last point?" Liu Xin asked.
"The last one is that Nurhachi has been campaigning east and west for many years. But from April of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli to November of the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, in the nineteen-month period
Within a short period of time, Nurhaci’s military activities completely ceased, and there was no record of a single military action. Isn’t this abnormal?”
"It's not quite like Nurhachi's behavior, so what's next?"
Gao pragmatically said: "I think this series of abnormal phenomena is strong evidence that the Shuerhaqi exodus incident has occurred. From this, it can be inferred that Shuerhaqi rebuilt the Jianzhou right guard in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli
The turn of April and May.”
"Wait a minute, I didn't remember clearly the times I mentioned earlier. How did you deduce that it was at the turn of April or May of that year?"
Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "Of course I have my reasons. There are several specific reasons. One is that the turning point of Nurhaci's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty was the 'June Oath', so Shuerhaci ran away.
Events can only occur before June;
Second, before March of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, Nurhachi still insisted on "refuse to pay tribute" and said "just rob". It can be seen that the "incident" can only occur after March. This shows that Shuerhaci
The time to leave can only be after March and before June;
In addition, the third reason is that from the perspective of life and production, the turn of April and May is also more suitable. Therefore, I judge that the time for Shuerhaqi's departure should be set at the turn of April and May of the 36th year of Wanli, and the reconstruction of Jianshe
The right guard of the state should also be at this time."
"Then where did he go to rebuild Jianzhou Youwei?" Liu Xin asked.
Gao pragmatically said: "Regarding the location of Shuerhaqi's departure, "Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty" and "Manuscript of Qing History" have a slight mention. Volume 7 of "Records of Emperor Taizong Wen of the Qing Dynasty" contains some records in Amin's crime: 'Amin coughed his
My father wanted to leave Taizu and moved to Heizhamu. He asked people to cut down the wood and prepare a house. When Taizu heard about it, he moved his house with sandalwood and was punished.'
"Manuscripts of the History of the Qing Dynasty" records the biography of Shuerhaqi, the Prince of Zhuang, by the two ancestors: "Since the emperor did not send Shuerhaqi generals, Shuerhaqi lived in constant gloom, and talked about his first son Altonghe, the third
The third son, Zhasak Turi, said, "How can I be restrained by others in terms of food and clothing?" He moved to the black pull tree. He was angry and killed his second son. Shuerhaqi then returned and died at the age of Xinhai.
These two records clearly illustrate three points: first, Shuerhaqi did run away; secondly, the place of emigration was Heizhanmu; thirdly, Shuerhaqi was convicted for this and died in the year of 1911."
Liu Xin frowned and said, "Where is this black guy?"
Gao Pingshi paused for a moment and replied: "Looking at a large scale, Heizhamutang is a traditional settlement area of the Han people."
Liu Xin was stunned: "He built the Jianzhou right guard into the Ming Dynasty border wall?"
Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "Although it seems strange, I'm afraid it is true. There is the following record in "Manwen Old Documents". The document issued to Heche Mu Ying'an on that day said: "Khan said that the stationed in Heche
Mu, soldiers of Ying'e, I'm afraid you will be beaten by the Nikan Han people in the village. You must be very vigilant day or night and don't be with the Nikan people in the village.'
This document was issued in the first month of the ninth year of Tianming, which means that until this time, the Han people in Hechemu Heizhamu were still the majority. There is no doubt that Heizhamu is a traditional settlement area of the Han people.
As for the second, judging from the situation of Haixi and Jianzhou guards coming to Beijing to pay tribute in December of the 36th year of Wanli, Shuerhaqi did not go through the border, but went directly to Beijing from his place of residence, which shows that the black lies
Mu is within the border gate of Ming Dynasty.
I don’t know if you know that in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, around Jianzhou, the Haixi Jurchens came to Beijing to pay tribute, and there was a dispute from the beginning. When Hachi, the slave of Jianyi, came to pay tribute and issued an imperial edict to ask for permission to enter, Yang Daobin, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, asked Jianzhou to pay tribute.
The chiefs are becoming more and more unruly, paying tribute is suspicious, and they are sparse... Except for Nuerhachi and others who entered Fushun Pass, and Wale and others who were originally from Jianzhou, and heard that they came to Beijing to pay tribute, the Haixi Yi who entered Guangshun Pass
Chief, there are two gates in the north and south. I want to see one hundred and eleven people including Zhuangtai and one hundred and ten people including Zhuangtai. What kind of barbarian species are they...'
This shows that Nurhachi and Wale entered Zhuangtai from Fushun Pass, and Kanzhimu and others entered from Guangshun Pass. And the records of the Ming Dynasty also record that the former went to Beijing to give a banquet and reward as follows
It was December 21, the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, and the latter was December 22 of the same year. There is no record of what pass Shuerhaqi entered through, and the time when he entered the capital to receive a banquet was on the twelfth day of the same year.
On the 16th of the month, five or six days earlier than the above two batches.
Judging from the time, if Shuerhaqi entered through any of the above-mentioned border crossings, he would have to enter at least five or six days in advance, and the negotiations for his entry into Beijing should also come first. In this way, the dispute about tribute should involve him.
In fact, there are only two records of people entering the customs to pay tribute from Fushun and Guangshun, which is also corroborated by the banquet records of the Ming court.
Therefore, it is impossible for Shuerhaqi to enter through the border, but can only enter Beijing from his place of residence. It is possible to advance the time. This roughly infers that Heizhanmu is within the border of the Ming Dynasty.
Thirdly, Amin's Crimes No. 6 in Volume 7 of "Records of Emperor Taizong Wen of the Qing Dynasty" provides the only important clue to the exact location of the black pull wood. It says: "During the time of Taizu, the border was guarded and the original boundary was established."
Later, due to the shortage of food in the border area, they started to cultivate the border. They moved two yellow flags to Tieling, two white flags to Anping, and two red flags to Shicheng. Amin was in charge of the two blue flags and lived in Zhangyi Station and Jingyuanbao.
The land is thin, and the land with the big city is beyond the boundaries of the land. If you cross the boundary, you will go to Heizhamu to cultivate... If you do this, you may want to take advantage of the opportunity to move to Heizhamu to complete the alienation.
For plain ambition, there are six sins."
The Heizhanmu mentioned here is undoubtedly the same place as the Heizhanmu where Shuerhaqi moved. Therefore, the key to understanding "Heithanmu" is to first determine the location of the big city.
Volume 15 of the "Shengjing Tongzhi" in the first year of Qianlong's reign, Tieling County's city section, contains "Angbang City, named Angbang Hetun. According to the clear word Angbang Hetun, it is a big city. It is eighty-three miles southeast of the city.
It is one mile around and has two gates in the north and south. This city is under the jurisdiction of General Fengtian. It is clearly stated here that the big city is eighty-three miles southeast of Tieling County.
Referring to the location of the reclamation areas of the above-mentioned banners, the large reclamation land given to Amin at that time was undoubtedly the large city 83 miles southeast of Tieling. Referring again to the land of the large city, it was beyond the boundaries of the land and was cultivated in the direction of black pull wood.
He almost wanted to move the black pull wood in the meantime, and according to his records, the black pull wood should be in the Tieling area near Dacheng.
In addition, the strategic intention of the Ming Dynasty at that time can also be supported. The right guard of Jianzhou was located in the southeast of Tieling, which could not only fill the power vacuum after the demise of Hada and Huifa, but also connect Wula to the east and aid Yehe to the north. Prepare to defend Nurhaci
The invasion will restore in one fell swoop the function of the four parts of Haixi as a barrier to the Ming Dynasty. This plan is indeed a good strategy, why not do it?"
Liu Xin was stunned when she heard this. She touched her face and said, "You are really wasting your talent if you didn't study geography before."
