"It's not that Cao is boasting. Fortunately, he came to ask the junior general about these questions of Da Sinong. Otherwise, someone else might not have known the details." In the commander's tent, Cao Yu held a letter handed to him by Gao Yimin.
He read the letter twice and said to Gao Yimin with a smile.
"My master said the same thing. He said that apart from Uncle Ning Yuan, only Cao Zongrong can know the inside story of these things." Gao Yimin asked with a smile: "In that case, can Zongrong tell me?
"
"Since Da Sinong asked, Cao Yu naturally told him everything he knew." Cao Yu quickly replied. After Gao Yimin nodded, he thought for a moment and said, "Da Sinong asked, the three guards of Jianzhou
Why is it difficult to distinguish each other now, and whether they can be separated again in the future... I think we should start from the two wars in the past, and especially focus on Wang Gao."
"That Wang Gao from Gule Village?" Gao Yimin asked, "What incident is he related to?"
"It has to do with many things. Mr. Yimin might as well listen to me and tell me in detail." Cao Yu said seriously: "The current situation of establishing a state is actually related to Wang Gao."
"Okay, then I'll give it to General Cao. General, please speak. The common people are all ears."
"I dare not say anything." Cao Yu said politely and said: "Wang Gao is a descendant of Fancha, the right guard of Jianzhou, and he is from the same clan as Nurhachi. Wang Gao's father is called Dobeile in the local area, and his ancestors originally lived in Kazakhstan.
Ersaalin. Harsaalin is called "Migou Mountain" in Chinese (this mountain is the mountain range where the old Erdaohe city of Yongling Town, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County is located), so Jianzhou Youweiyuan
When it was first established, we lived together with Zuowei.
However, as far as I know, in the records of the migration of Wang Gao’s ancestors, his ancestors were ‘expelled by neighboring tribes and moved to Gule Mountain (Gule Mountain) not far from Mardun, and took charge of Baili Water Crossing’.”
This matter has been mentioned before, that is, when the left guard of Jianzhou moved to Foala Mountain City, a feud for the seal of the chieftain Fancha and Dongshan's uncle and nephew broke out, and the tribe was in danger of splitting. In order to more effectively restrain the women of Jianzhou
Really, the Ming court adopted the method of dividing the right guard from the left guard, dividing the original Jianzhou left guard into two, and they became two guards from then on.
After the right guard was established, Fancha was in charge of the right guard, and the left guard was still in charge of Dong Shan. The Jianzhou right guard who was separated still lived with the left guard in Foala Mountain City in Harsa Mountain for a period of time.
This area is the Jianzhou Laoying or Hucheng often mentioned in historical materials of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the rift between the two guards caused by the dispute over the seal was 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 lead his troops.
They moved westward along the Sukeshu River and moved to Gule Mountain and Maldun area.
The left guard and the right guard are separated by five ridges, namely Qinglong Ridge (Maldun Ridge), thus forming the theory of east-west Jianzhou. East Jianzhou refers to the left guard, and west Jianzhou refers to the right guard.
Readers may want to ask: Didn’t we talk about the three guards of Jianzhou? Why only the left and right guards are mentioned here, but not the Jianzhou guards?
When Cao Yan talked about this, Gao Yimin also asked: "Dongxi Jianzhou? Where are the original Jianzhou guards?"
"This is related to the Battle of Dinghai during the Chenghua period." Cao Yu explained: "At that time, 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 Jianzhou Guards, Li Manzhu and his son, and Jianzhou Guards
Dong Shan, the chief of the Left Guard, was killed by our army one after another, and the old camp in Jianzhou, where the Left Guard lived, was wiped out by our army. At this time, Fancha of the Right Guard in Jianzhou led his troops to escape into the mountains and escaped this attack.
Disaster."
Gao Yimin narrowed his eyes and asked seriously: "In other words, the Jianzhou Guard and the Jianzhou Left Guard were actually destroyed together at this time?"
Cao Yu nodded and said: "You can say that, in the first year of Jingtai, Fancha repeatedly led his people to rob our territory because of his revenge on Chao, and was captured by our army. He was later detained and executed in Liaodong.
Fancha had seven sons and two daughters. After he was imprisoned and executed in Liaodong, the post of commander was determined by our Ming Dynasty and was inherited by his eldest grandson Nabuha. However, after Nalangha took over the post, in order to avenge his grandfather's murder, he also
He repeatedly violated the border and was later executed by our border officials. After Nalangha's death, the post of commander of Jianzhou Right Guard was succeeded by his uncle Bu Huatu.
When Bu Huatu was the commander of Youweidu, he still repeatedly caused rebellions in the border areas. "Slim bandits entered Liaoyang to steal horses and kill officers and soldiers," and "invaded Yizhou to plunder people." For this reason, our imperial court issued an order to Youwei, "Buha Tu
Since the three guards have ensured their integrity, they have appointed the capital and commanded the same people, negotiated with the imperial edict, and ordered the people of this guard to be under control. If they violate the law again, they will not be punished."
Gao Yimin frowned and said: "Three generations of Youwei Qi chiefs have invaded the border. It is really difficult to say that they are loyal and obedient."
"It is true, but as the saying goes, evil will be rewarded. In the second year of Zhengde, Buhua Tu died. In the following decades, all the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou - no matter which guard they were, were in a state of disarray, and there was nothing worth mentioning.
leader."
Gao Yimin's eyes flashed: "Until Wang Gao appears?"
"Mr. Yimin has a discerning eye." Cao Yu said with a smile: "It was during the Jiajing period that the right guard of Jianzhou flourished again, and the key figure was Wang Gao. When Wang Gao was sixteen years old, he inherited his father's business and rebuilt Gule City.
It was the 24th year of Jiajing. After Wang Gao's power rose, he took over the command of the right guard capital of Jianzhou and proclaimed himself the governor. All barbarians in Jianzhou listened to Gao's orders."
"Everyone listens to the plan" is not bragging, because Nurhachi's grandfather Jue Chang'an and father Takshi, who were clearly born in the left guard of Jianzhou, were de facto subordinates of Wang Gao, and the other descendants of the fifth ancestor also all belonged to Wang Gao's command.
According to Cao Yun's introduction, in the single lineage collected by Wang Gao's descendants, Youwei's chronological arrangement is as follows: Fancha-Ahada-Duo-Wang Gao-Atai.
According to the annual rings of the same generation, the lineage of Zuowei is: Mengge Timur-Dongshan-Xibaoqipiangu-Fuman-Juechangan-Takshi.
Cao Yu made a special point here. Although Fancha and Mengge Timur are brothers, there is a big age gap between them. Fancha and his nephew Dong Shan can actually be regarded as the successors to Mengge Timur.
Contemporaries. And Wang Gao's son Atai and Takshi were contemporaries.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Among the Jurchen surnames used by the Wang Gao family, the surname is Xitala. The Chinese translation of Xitala in Manchu is "net-making equipment on the shore
"Chun." It can be seen that the origin of this surname came from the name used by his ancestors when they moved westward along the Sukeshu River to Gule City.
Cao Yu said again: "In the Ming Dynasty's customized management of Jurchen Guard officials' appointment, the "Da Ming Huidian" was customized by the Yongle Dynasty: 'The Jurchen Guard officials are deceased, their descendants will succeed them, and they will be demoted one level'. During the Zhengtong period, another
Regulations: 'Jurchen guards officials who have served for twenty-five years will be promoted to one level'. Usually after the death of a Jurchen guard officer, his descendants 'allow him to return to his post.'"
Gao Yimin followed Gao Pragmatic's instructions and asked for some details. It turned out that the appointment of Sun, the son of Fancha, the right guard of Jianzhou, was approved by the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, Wang Gao was appointed as the right guard of Jianzhou.
Although there is no detailed record of the position of commander in the imperial court, according to Cao Yun, his position as commander-in-chief was approved by the imperial court, while his position as governor-general was not recognized by the imperial court. Therefore, Liaodong
The border officials also refused to recognize Wang Gao's self-appointed official position.
After Wang Gao inherited his father's business and revitalized Gule City, he united with the various fighting tribes of the left guard to the extent that all the barbarians in Jianzhou obeyed his orders, and controlled all the areas where the left and right guards of Jianzhou were active, making the Hun
The Su Ke and Su Hu river basins experienced a unified situation in a short period of time.
At this time, Wang Gao often met with the leaders of various tribes to build barbarians, "the young ones were thirty or forty years old, and the large ones were fifty or sixty years old, and they went to the Ming border to plunder." During the many raids into the border areas, Nurhaci's grandfather Jue Chang'an, and his father Ta
Keshi, the third ancestor Suo Chang's descendants and other clan members are all included in this list.
After the rise of Wang Gao's power, he carried out large-scale construction of Gule City. After the construction, Gule City faced water on three sides and backed by a mountain on one side. The Sukeshu River flows through the west of the city, and the Shangjia River flows through the north, west and south of the city.
, the north three sides are natural cliffs, and the east side is connected to Qinglong Mountain, 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 Gule City, Wang Gao not only built his own meeting hall and residence, but also built more than 500 houses, and was determined to use this city as his base.
, established his dominant position in the Jurchen society, and launched a military struggle with the Liaodong Ming Army.
When Wang Gao was in Gule City, he "dominated the water and became the chief, took charge of Baili Water Crossing, and snatched the imperial edict of Qiwula." With the help of his capable men, such as Future Lihong and others, Wang Gao often disrupted the horse market trade and ignored others.
In the Ming Dynasty, Fushun, under the control of Ning officials, often asked for rewards. If he was not satisfied, he would get drunk and scold Fuyi officials.
Under the planning of Zuowei Jurchen, Lai Lihong and others, Wang Gao led Lai Lihong and others to repeatedly rob the border and killed more than 30 Ming border officials. After being expelled by Ming Fushun Bei Yufei Chengzu, Wang Gao
Gao deeply hated Pei Chengzu, so he finally took advantage of the opportunity to escape and, together with Lai Lihong, planned to lure Pei Chengzu and others to Gule City and kill them.
Cao Yu said: "In the second year of Wanli, Pei Chengzu went on a guerrilla attack in Fushun and was promoted to the Imperial Guard. In the seventh month of autumn, he and Laili Hongsuo died. Pei Chengzu sent more than 300 riders to Lihong's case.
They killed the general Liu Chengyi and hundreds of households Liu Zhongwen. So Zhang Ge Lao (the Zhang Ge Lao here in Cao Yu refers to Zhang Xueyan, the then governor of Liao Dynasty) asked Gaogong City to be exterminated."
Obviously, Wang Gao's continuous rebellion on the border had already attracted the attention of the court. However, according to Cao Yun, every time before the Liaodong border general wanted to lead his troops to attack, Wang Gao would go to the border to plead guilty and return the plundered people and animals to express his regret.
This means that Wang Gao's approach once deceived the Liaodong border officials.
However, after trapping and killing Fushun Beiyu Pei Chengzu, the imperial court was finally shocked and decided to launch a military attack on him - that is, Li Chengliang went out twice and won the battle of Gulezhai.
In fact, only the first battle of Gule Village was "Li Chengliang VS Wang Gao", and the second battle of Gule Village was actually "Li Chengliang VS Wangtai".
And this first battle of Gulezhai did not break out for no reason. This incident was even closely related to Gao Pragmatic’s senior and ally, cabinet scholar Zhang Xueyan.
In the second year of Wanli, Gao Gong was the first assistant, and Zhang Xueyan was the governor of Liao Dynasty. Because Zhang Xueyan accepted Li Chengliang's suggestion two years ago, he moved the Gushan Fort to Zhangqihadian and the Five Dangerous Mountain Forts to Kuandian, Changdian, Shuangdun, and Changling.
and other places, not only occupy the sacred land surrounded by mountains between the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty and the Yalu River, but also approach the Jianzhou Jurchen base area from the southeast, curbing the expansion of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and the strategic situation is quite favorable.
Therefore, it was proposed to examine Wang Gao's imperial edict.
Although Wang Gao had 30 imperial edicts, most of them were obtained by plundering other tribes, or they were obtained under the pseudonym of Keshao, "from the envoys who requested the imperial edicts from barbarians." He himself had only 18 imperial edicts. Of course, he could not withstand this situation.
After checking, Wang Gao returned to his old ways and raided the border again, which led to the above-mentioned incident of Pei Chengzu chasing Lai Lihong and Wang Gao planning to kill Pei Chengzu.
On the 11th day of the 11th day of the 2nd year of Wanli, Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, led a division of 60,000 men, armed with a large number of artillery, muskets, rockets and other firearms, and stormed Gule Village.
According to Cao Yuan, in front of Gule Mountain at that time, Li Chengliang ordered his deputy general Yang Teng and guerrilla Wang Weiping to divide the key points of the camp, and ordered him, then the staff general, to lead his army to challenge. The armies rose up from all sides, and Wang Gao's army was defeated and all retreated.
Gule City.
Cao Yu felt quite proud when he said this. Although he did not say it directly, he also hinted to Gao Yimin that Li Chengliang was already a little afraid of the bravery of Cao Yu's servants at that time, so this battle had the intention of using Wang Gao's sword to kill Cao Yu.
The terrain of Gule City is dangerous, with deep ditches and high fortifications, strong fences and steep mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Cao Yu led the Ming army to attack the city with firearms and broke several fences. However, despite the desperate resistance of Lihong and others, the battle was fierce with the rain of arrows and stones.
, but still gradually gained advantages.
Seeing that Cao Yun's troops were gradually gaining the upper hand, Li Chengliang did not dare to let him continue to work alone to avoid taking great credit, so he sent his own direct lineage. He was led by Zhiwen, and Qin Deyi first climbed into the city from the northeast corner, followed by all the generals.
They entered the city one after another.
Wang Gao saw that the outer city could not be defended, so he retreated into the inner city and shot Yu Zhiwen to death. Even so, under Li Chengliang's strict order, the Ming army did not avoid the arrows and climbed up, and set fire to the stronghold in the wind, burning down 500 houses.
The remaining time and a large amount of baggage. The final result of this battle was a great victory for the Ming army, and Wang Gao escaped from Gule City alone.
However, in February of the third year of Wanli, Wang Gao, who was full of resentment, once again mobilized the crowd to take revenge. As a result, he was defeated by Cao Gui, who had been well prepared and had been promoted to deputy commander-in-chief due to his outstanding military exploits. Wang Gao fled to Aha.
Nazhai.
Cao Yu was already the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong at this time, and was solely responsible for the defense east of the Liaohe River. Therefore, he took the initiative to continue the pursuit without waiting for Li Chengliang's order. Wang Gao had no choice but to give the "python hanging red armor" he was wearing to Ah
Hana", was able to escape under the desperate cover of Ahana. This Anaha was the second son of Baoshi, one of the six ancestors of Nurhaci.
After Wang Gao escaped, he originally wanted to take refuge in Subahai, the leader of the Taining Guards in Mongolia. Later, "he spent his whole life but Wang Tai was very happy with each other, so he wanted to use the Tai Ning as a predestined relationship, so he returned to Tai" - this "Tai" refers to
Wan Khan of Hada is also known as Wangtai.
But at this time, the Ming court was unwilling to give up. On the one hand, it took Wang Gao's subordinate Jue Chang'an as a hostage in Fushun Pass (of course Nurhaci also went and was taken under Li Chengliang's account); on the other hand, it sent his subordinates to visit Wang Gao.
Gao's whereabouts, Wang Gao's hiding place was finally discovered.
Wangtai, the leader of the Haixi Jurchens who had always had a close relationship with the Ming Dynasty and was "submissive and obedient", was under the pressure of Cao Yun's heavy troops. Of course, he did not need to think too much. On the third day of July, he and his eldest son Hu'erhan led their troops to
In Shisantouer Village, where Wang Gao was staying temporarily, 27 Wang Gao and his family members were arrested and escorted to the residence of deputy envoy He Qin. He Qin then escorted Wang Gao to Guangning.
Zhang Xueyan was overjoyed to see that Wang Gao had been captured, and ordered Qianzong Ke Wan to escort Wang Gao to Beijing in a carriage to "offer him as a prisoner". Ke Wan was rewarded with gold. Zhu Yijun issued an edict to "kill" Wang Gao.
Behind it hangs Shouhao Street (this is the area where Shaomin tribute envoys gather and the location of the Siyi Pavilion).
After listening to Cao Yu's introduction, Gao Yimin obviously understood why Cao Yu said that "the situation of establishing the state is all related to Wang Gao." He nodded and said, "In other words, after the Battle of Dinghai during the Chenghua period, especially after the
Is it because after the death of Bu Huatu, the three guards of Jianzhou were actually indistinguishable from each other, and when Wang Gao appeared, although the three guards were still separated in name, in fact they were controlled by Wang Gao alone?"
Cao Yu nodded and said: "That's exactly it."
Gao Yimin frowned and said, "Wang Gao and Jue Chang'an are really related by marriage? Brother Nurhaci and Wang Gao..."
Cao Yu immediately said: "Juechang'an's son Takshi married Wang Gao's daughter Xitala, and they gave birth to brothers Nurhaci and Shuerhaqi. Wang Gao's eldest son Atai also married the daughter of Juechang'an's eldest son Lidun.
As his wife. In other words, these two families are of the same blood and have been married several times.
As for the Nurhachi brothers...Wang Gao is the Nurhaci brothers' maternal grandfather, and Atai and Ahai are their brothers' uncles."
"Wonderful!" Gao Yimin laughed: "My master is worried that he can't find a suitable reason to make arrangements."
Cao Yan was stunned and said hesitantly: "Da Sinong still...has other plans?"
Gao Yimin glanced at Qi Jin and Ma Chengxun. Their hearts froze. They were wondering if they should find a reason to leave, but unexpectedly Gao Yimin said: "Qi Jinrong and Ma Chengxun are not outsiders, so I'll just tell you.
: What my master means is that since the three guards of Jianzhou have actually been indistinguishable from each other for a long time, but if they are not separated now, they are afraid of losing their power, why not divide Jianzhou into east and west again according to the old incident between Fancha and Dongshan?
, with Nurhaci and Shuerhaqi taking control of each one?"
