Shuerhaqi sent an envoy to visit Cao Yu this time, not in private, but in accordance with Nurhaci's wishes. Previously, Nurhachi's envoy to surrender was rejected by Cao Yu, and after that, Nurhachi's people could no longer enter Cao Yu.
Military camp. Due to the threat of Shujian Banner, Nurhaci had to discuss with Shuerhaqi and negotiate peace with Cao Yun in Shuerhaqi's name.
This time the messenger is unknown, and his name even sounds funny to the Han people - his name is Nimaha. But don't get me wrong, "Nimaha" means "fish" in Manchu. As a fishing and hunting people, he
It's really not surprising that his father gave him this name.
Nimaha brought what was said to be "the joint request of Ninguta Big Beile and Ningguta Second Beile", saying that the request was indeed a request, and the two "Beile" requested to surrender.
Cao Yu pretended to be careless, glanced at Nirmaha, and said calmly: "Please surrender? Please surrender at this time, don't you think it's too late?"
Nimaha nodded and bowed and said: "Master Zongrong didn't know something. The two Belles have had this intention for a long time, but before this master..."
"What happened before?" Cao Yu snorted softly: "This is what I am saying now: Unless you kneel down by the roadside, disarm and abandon your troops, and wait for the fall, otherwise..."
Nimaha's heart tightened, and she heard Cao Yun say: "... I don't mind revisiting the old story of Chenghua Liting, so that it can be remembered by you."
Chenghua Liting, these four words are by far the most feared words for the Jurchens in Jianzhou. Zhao Fu, the former Ming army chief general, once described this battle in his "Pingyi Fu": "Kill the strong and kill the young.
If the captives collapse and the fire is extinguished, they are like disintegrating and the ice disappears. Empty their hides and pig their houses, cut off their lairs but empty their nests, within ten days the captive territory will be in depression."
When Li Chengliang broke into the Gule Stronghold for the second time, he did not declare that he would give Jianzhou Jurchen another Chenghua Liting. Now that Nimaha suddenly heard Cao Yun's words, he could only think that Dabeile's previous fake surrender and defeat of Uncle Li had been completely completed.
This angered the Ming court.
"Master General Rong clearly knows that Jianzhou has defended the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years. Although there have been a few misunderstandings that have led to wars, Jianzhou's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty can be seen day by day. The two ancestors of Baylor and their fathers have been serving for the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years.
He died while serving in the Ming Dynasty. The two Baylors themselves also studied Chinese studies and admired the elegance of the Kingdom of Heaven..."
"You don't have to tell me this. I have led troops to fight in Jianzhou not once or twice. This time I am here to fight too... Since the two brothers are going to surrender, I don't have to kill you and the whole family."
.Now that the clear path has been pointed out to you, you only have to make a choice: surrender and surrender, or die."
Seeing that Cao Yun was not accommodating at all, Nimaha sighed and said with a sad face: "The matter has come to this, and the prejudices have become deep. After all, Jianzhou is a minister of the Ming Dynasty. How dare you not follow the wishes of the general? It's just... forgive me.
The servant risked his life to inquire: What will the Ming Dynasty do after Jianzhou surrenders?"
Cao Yu originally wanted to say: "How the Ming Dynasty will deal with it has its own sage, Chen Jue, how can we allow you to speculate?"
But something moved in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he said: "There were originally three guards in Jianzhou, but now the three guards have long been just empty. After this commander-in-chief is pacified, I will report to the sage and slightly restore the old system of Jianzhou. You and others will
The right guard was separated from the guard. After that, the east and west states were established to guard separately, and the border guards were prepared for the Ming Dynasty, so that there would be a way to survive."
Nimaha did not expect Cao Yu to say this, or Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi did not expect Cao Yu to offer such conditions for surrender. Since there was no prior authorization, Nimaha certainly did not dare to agree haphazardly, so he had to ask Cao Yu for mercy.
Time, let him go back and report.
Cao Yu waved his hand like a fly and let him go, not even bothering to reply.
After Nimaha left, Cao Yu turned to Gao Yimin and said, "I guess the two of them are desperate, so why not tell them directly so that we can weigh things up." After a pause, he added: "I just don't know where Da Sinong is.
Have you asked this town to do a plowing and sweeping of caves..."
Although Gao Yimin called him Commander-in-Chief, he did not dare to call himself commander in front of Gao Yimin. This was also to find out Gao Pragmatic's intention, so he only dared to call himself "this town".
Gao Yimin shook his head and said: "My master just asks for the restoration of peace in Liaodong as soon as possible. He has no requirements for war or peace."
Cao Yu nodded in agreement, then paused for a moment, seemingly hesitating and thinking, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Yimin, if we want to restore peace in Liaodong as soon as possible, peace is naturally the best way. And if we want to promote peace as soon as possible, this town
I do feel that there is one person who may be of some use."
"Oh, who is this person?"
Cao Yu said: "This man's name is Baoshi, and he is the sixth ancestor of Nurhaci and Shuerhaqi."
"The Sixth Patriarch?" Gao Yimin was startled, and what he thought was actually the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Patriarch Huineng, but when he thought about it, it didn't matter at all, so he asked, "Is it the Sixth Patriarch?"
Cao Yu shook his head and said: "It's not the sixth ancestor. This 'sixth ancestor' is Nurhachi's name. In fact, he is the sixth uncle-Jue Changan's sixth brother."
"Oh..." Gao Yimin nodded in sudden realization and asked, "What's wrong with this person?"
Cao Yu replied: "This person is the leader of the Nurhachi family who opposes him after Suo Chang'a."
Gao Yimin had a headache and asked, "Who is Suo Chang'a?"
"Suo Chang'a is Nurhaci's third uncle..." Cao Yu said, feeling that such questions and answers were a bit of a waste, so he said: "Otherwise, I will tell Mr. Yimin about their family's old and new grudges.
explain?"
Gao Yimin had this intention, nodded and said: "That's the best. Chief Rong, please tell me. The common people are all ears."
So Cao Yan talked about some inside information about the Nurhaci family. Here is what happened:
Nurhaci's great-grandfather, Fuman, the governor of Jianzhou Left Guard, had six sons, namely Deshiku, Liu Chan, Suo Chang'a, Jue Chang'an, Bao Lang'a, and Baoshi.
Juechang Anxingsi, if according to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, he should not be Fuman's heir. However, Fuman is not a Han, he is more "free" in doing things, and feels that Juechangan, the fourth brother, is more capable, so although he does not
It is clear who is the successor, but judging from the "canonization" given to his sons during his lifetime, Jue Changan is regarded as his successor.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fuman's six sons, later known as "Ningguta Liubeile", were "canonized" in Fuman's hands like this: Deshi Kuju Chao'ercha
; Liu Chan lives in Aha and Luo; Suochang lives in Aju and Luogashan; Juechang lives in Hetuala; Baolang lives in Ajunimalan; Baoshi lives in Zhangjia.
Since Hetuala is the residence of Fuman himself and the best of these cities, the identity of Jue Chang'an's successor is actually confirmed. One thing is very important at this time, that is, Nurhachi and the others
The family is not the Beile of the Suksuhu River tribe, but the Ninguta Beile.
However, to be more clear, Chief Ninguta at this time cannot actually be called "Baylor". He can be regarded as "Ezhen" because the total area of these six places is only dozens of miles, which is equivalent to a large area.
There are five villages and five small villages, which are not even comparable to a county in the Ming Dynasty.
Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi now dare to call themselves Baylor because their brothers' strength gradually increased after defeating Nikan Wailan, the chief of the Suksu River Tribe, and they were awarded the title of Jianzhou Left Guard Commander by the Ming Dynasty. They dared to do so.
so-called.
As for why Nurhachi claimed to be the chief of the Suksu Huhe Tribe and Ningguta Beile at the same time, it was because he wanted to express a process, that is, Ningupa had annexed the Suksu Huhe Tribe. Just because Su
However, the Suhuhe tribe was relatively large, so it was named Sukesuhuhe tribe. The reason why Ninggu Pagoda was named Baylor was to show that it did not forget its roots.
Back to the subject, let’s talk about the five brothers of Jue Chang’an. Jue Chang’an inherited the position left by Fu Man as the fourth brother. The other five brothers were obviously dissatisfied because this approach was neither in line with the consistent purpose of the Ming Dynasty nor in line with their deep feelings.
Influenced by the Mongolian custom of "young sons guarding the stove".
However, the Ming Dynasty was troubled at that time. If it was sealed, it would be sealed. The other five brothers had to swallow their anger and did not dare to express their opposition openly. However, Jue Changan only had a name.
Hetuala was renovated and expanded by Nurhaci), and the other five villages did not listen to his orders at all.
The Ningguta tribe was already very weak, and if things like this continued, Jue Changan's strength would naturally become even more pitiful. In addition, when Fuman was still alive, in order to show off his talents, Jue Changan once suggested that his third brother should be allowed to take the lead.
A went to Hada as an envoy to marry Wanhan Wangtai. As a result, Suo Chang'a's son married Wangtai's daughter, and the two tribes formed a marriage relationship.
This incident had a great impact at the time, because Ningguta was invaded by Dong'e tribe and was unable to resist. After marrying Wanhan of Hada, Ningguta sent Suo Chang'a as envoy to Hada to borrow troops to avenge Hada. Wangtai immediately agreed
In response to Suo Chang'a's request, he sent 10,000 sergeants to assist the Jue Chang'an brothers in attacking the Dong'e tribe.
In this military attack on the Dong'e tribe, the six Jue Chang'an brothers attacked the Dong'e tribe's villages and returned with a load of people and animals. They became famous among the Jurchen tribes for a while. The Juechang'an family and the Dong'e tribe
However, the hatred became deeper and deeper - Nurhaci had used this excuse to attack the Dong E clan before, but the Ming Dynasty didn't listen.
However, this incident led to another trouble, that is, the popularity of Suo Chang'a, who was married to Wangtai, increased, which intensified the crisis of Jue Chang'an, the nominal leader of Jianzhou Left Guard. In desperation, Jue Chang'an had to find another way.
, to marry Wang Gao, the leader of the Jianzhou Right Guards who emerged at that time - this matter has been mentioned before, so I won’t go into details here.
Later, Wang Gaoshen died, Jue Changan and his son Takshi also died in an accident, and Nurhachi succeeded him and launched an army to avenge Nikan Wailan. At this time, Nurhaci received the death penalty because his ancestor and father died unjustly.
Li Chengliang bestowed 30 imperial edicts and 30 horses, and the moral balance within the family was shaken by interests.
Since Nikan Wailan was considered to be the so-called "Lord of Manchuria" that the Ming Dynasty planned to support, the other five ancestral families may be worried that Nurhaci's revenge will bring bloody disasters to the family; perhaps they are more accustomed to how to play in the chess game arranged by others.
Seizing more personal interests without any intention, and even less daring to break the old interest pattern. In short, when Nurhaci raised troops to avenge Nikanwailan, the relatives who were supposed to be natural allies seemed to have forgotten Jue Changan and Tucker
The deaths of many people have taken the side of the enemy.
The descendants of the Fifth Ancestor first gathered in Tangzi (a place where Manchus worshiped heaven), vowed to the Heavenly Alliance to kill Nurhachi, and went to seek refuge with their enemy Nikan Wailan, who was supported by the Ming Dynasty. Then they spared no effort to start the killing campaign against Nurhachi.
.
They instigated Nurhaci's allies to betray their alliance, secretly conveyed news to Nikan Wailan, sent assassins several times to assassinate Nurhaci, continued to collude with the Hada tribe to rob Nurhaci's city, and killed Nurhaci's most trusted close comrade at the time, his brother-in-law Gaha
Good Hass tiger designed to kill.
Among them, the most dangerous thing for Nurhaci is of course his personal assassination. So, who are the people in this family who assassinated Nurhachi? Cao Yu's account is inseparable from the records in later history books.
There is at least the following record in the history books of later generations: "Kang Jia, Li Dai and other members of the Wucheng clan came to rob Huji Village with Hada soldiers. Taizu sent Anfei Yanggu and Basun to chase after them and plundered everything they had looted.
"
"First, Longdun instigated Nomina to break the promise, and then ordered someone to kill Gahasan Hasihu. Taizu collected his bones and buried him."
"Kang Jia, the son of the Sixth Patriarch Bao Shi, conspired with Chuoqida Jiaoshan and others, and asked the soldiers of the Hada Kingdom to order the Hunhe tribe to recruit Li Dai, the city lord (Li Dai is also a member of the clan) to guide them, and rob the Huji Village where Taizu belonged."
"The descendants of the eldest ancestor, the second ancestor, the third ancestor, and the sixth ancestor all swore in the temple to murder Taizu."
"Long Dun, the son of the Third Patriarch, sent someone to report to Li Dai in advance, so he gathered his troops and boarded the city to wait for the enemy."
"Long Dun instigated Shamu Zhang. Shamu Zhang was the younger brother of Taizu's concubine."
"All the brothers conspired with Long Dun, but none of them went together."
In other words, except for Nurhachi's branch, all other Five Patriarchs participated. The participants Long Dun and Li Dai appeared the most, indicating that they should be the main members.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! Here, Long Dun is the fourth son of the third ancestor Suo Chang'a, and Li Dai is the eldest son of the third ancestor Suo Chang'a. This also shows that the third ancestor Suo Chang'a is Nurhaci
The de facto leaders of the family except for the Juechang'an branch, the murder of Nurhaci was centered on the third ancestor, with personnel from the other four ancestors participating.
Cao Yan also specifically pointed out a very important issue here, that is, when these assassinations occurred, Wanhan Wangtai had just died, and Hada was at war with Ye He. Suo Chang'a and Hada were related by marriage, and Nurhaci happened to be with Ye He at that time.
Promised marriage: that is, Yang Jiniu betrothed Meng Guzhezhe to Nurhaci.
Although Meng Guzhezhe could not get married immediately because he was still young at the time, it is obvious that Yang Jiniu gave Nurhachi a lot of military assistance. Therefore, the reason why the Fifth Patriarch was able to compete with and defeat Nurhachi in Nikanwailan was because Nurhaci had not been strong enough before.
In addition to the strong factor, there is also the reason that Hada and Ye He are competing for hegemony.
However, as Hada declined day by day, Nurhachi personally killed his prospective father-in-law Yang Jiniu because of his pragmatic design. The backers of both parties were actually gone.
At this time, it was obvious that we could only rely on hard power. However, Nurhachi quickly destroyed the Hunhe tribe and increased his strength. Then recently, Nurhachi once again annexed the Zhechen tribe, and invaded the Dong'e tribe for "revenge", and finally won a city
.
The balance of strength has clearly tilted towards Nurhaci, and the Fifth Ancestor family has long been lagging behind. At the same time, Suo Chang'a himself died - a normal death. So the Five Ancestors who opposed Nurhaci turned to Lao Liubaoshi, headed by Lao Liubaoshi, and struggled to support it.
He refused to "collude" with Nurhaci.
Their attitude was not only because they could not change their stance for a while, but also because Nurhaci annoyed Ming Dynasty, so they started to wait and see.
It stands to reason that it is of course the best choice to join the Ming Dynasty directly at this time. Unfortunately, there is a trouble: the Ming Dynasty's "divide and conquer" approach to the Jurchens was just a matter of taste. The power of the Five Ancestors was not enough even if they were added together, so they actually
He didn't take the initiative to come to Cao Yu because he was "embarrassed".
Of course, there is also a possibility that after Nurhaci designed to defeat Li Chengliang, the Fifth Ancestor family may have been frightened - not because Nurhaci was very powerful, but because he felt that the Ming Dynasty might have another "Chenghua Liting".
You know, the Ming Dynasty was never kind to them. Before Chenghua Liting, Emperor Xianzong's order was even to "destroy their nests and eliminate their species"!
Now that Nurhaci has caused such a big mess, even if five of his families go to Ming Dynasty to confess their sincerity, Ming Dynasty will not listen to their explanation! What if Marshal Cao directly orders "dragged out and chopped"?
Okay? It’s such an unjust death.
So they simply shrank their heads and acted like turtles, hoping that if Nurhachi withstood this wave, they would have a lucky escape. As for going to Ming Dynasty to explain the situation, it would be better to wait until then. Presumably, if there is such a day, Ming Dynasty should
They will still be welcomed - after all, they are Nurhachi's opponents within the Ningguta family, and they have certain utilization value.
What else did Gao Yimin not understand when Cao Yu explained this? He laughed at that time and said to Cao Yu: "In this case, the grassroots suggest that Zong Rong send someone to inform Nurhaci now, and tell him that if he does not accept the proposal just now,
, then let’s break Hetuala and let his Sixth Patriarch—what’s his name?”
"Baoshi." Cao Yu replied.
"Oh, yes, Baoshi - let's let him be the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard." Gao Yimin said with a smile: "I think Nurhachi should have a clear understanding of his situation."
Of course, it stands to reason that the reason why the imperial court often killed me and let his son succeed him is simply to insist on ruling the barbarians with barbarians, so as to prevent these "barbarians" from even having a leader and finding someone who can take responsibility if something goes wrong.
Now that Baoshi is also Fuman's son, there is no problem in being the leader of the Jianzhou Zuowei in name. Moreover, he is now the leader of the "Fifth Ancestor Family". He is in charge of the Zuowei and the "Yi people" below him.
There is not much intention of resistance.
Gao Yimin is the representative of Gao pragmatism. When Cao Yu saw his approval, he was naturally not afraid of taking responsibility and immediately said: "Okay, in that case, I will work separately. First, I will send someone to inform Brother Nurhachi, and then I will send someone to call Baoshi."
come over."
"Thanks to Mr. Cao for taking the trouble, the common people will immediately write back to the master to report this change."
