In fact, Gao Pragmatic's question just now was mainly to verify one thing, that is, whether the later legend that Nurhaci was "adopted" by Li Chengliang is true.
Because later historical circles, including some historical experts in Japan, North Korea, and South Korea, have a lot of controversy over this matter. Some say that Li Chengliang adopted Nurhachi, while others say that there is no such thing at all. However, both sides can still come up with some
The data comes from the source to prove the theory, which caused a lot of trouble for Gao Pragmatic, a history enthusiast who only looked at the data and had no ability to conduct research.
(Note: Therefore, the "historical sample" in this book is one of the forms of acceptance. I will not accept any doubts on this issue. Anyway, it is a matter of public opinion being justified and mother-in-law saying mother-in-law is justified.)
Now it seems that Nurhachi is not Li Chengliang's adopted son, but a simple servant, and he was a prisoner of war as a slave. His status must not be high, otherwise Li Chengliang would not have thought about him just now.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but think: If I ask "brother" Li Chengliang for someone, I wonder if he will give it to me? It seems that he will give me this face, right? But...what reason do I have to ask for someone? If I am a loner.
When he came to take office, he could also say that he was short of servants and asked him for a few.
Seeing that I am a close official of the Emperor, he will not give up this face, but I am afraid that he will also be suspicious. And now that I have a huge family, there is no shortage of slaves. It seems that there is nothing that can make him not suspicious.
Here’s the reason…
But now he plans to release Nurhachi back to Jianzhou, which is probably not good news. Don’t let Nurhaci go back to his hometown early because of me, right?
Unexpectedly, Gao Pragmatic's thoughts were misunderstood by Li Chengliang. He smiled and said: "Brother Xian, don't worry too much. Brother Yu didn't make this decision casually. In fact, Brother Yu has been thinking about this for the past few days."
thing."
Now it was Gao Pragmatic's turn to be startled, and subconsciously asked: "Why is this?"
Li Chengliang smiled and said, "Isn't this still related to Wang Gao?" At that moment, he told Gao pragmatically about Wang Gao's incident.
It turned out that Wang Gao, whose real name was Xitala Agu, was called "Atuhan" in Jurchen dialect. He was the former Jurchen leader of Jianzhou, and he was the right-guard commander of Jianzhou.
This guy is essentially a tribal leader. Although he is an official of the Ming Dynasty, he is very dishonest.
In October of the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing's reign, Wang Gao made a surprise attack on Fushun, killed the guard Peng Wenzhu, and looted wantonly; in May of the forty-first year of Jiajing's reign, Heichun, then the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, led the army to suppress Wang Gao, but was defeated by Wang Gao.
He was captured alive in an ambush and then killed.
So Wang Gao invaded Liaoyang, robbed Gushan, captured Fushun, and Tangzhan, and killed the commanders Wang Guozhu, Chen Qifu, Dai Mian, Wang Zhongjue, Yang Wumei, and the generals Wen Luan, Yu Luan, Wang Shoulian, Tian Geng, Liu Yiming and dozens of others.
people.
At that time, the Jurchen Hada tribe's Beilewangtai gradually became stronger, and there were many conflicts with Wang Gao. The latter two formed an alliance at the Fushun Pass and stopped fighting to make peace.
After that, the incident that Li Chengliang mentioned just now happened. Wang Gao repeatedly killed Ming generals, and Zhang Xueyan stopped paying tribute in anger. Li Chengliang was ordered to lead an army to attack Jianzhou. As a result, Wang Gao was captured and imprisoned in Beijing.
In this battle, Li Chengliang almost wiped out a large group of Jianzhou Jurchen officials, including Nurhaci, his father Takshi, his ancestor Jue Chang'an and others. However, Wang Gao's son Atai escaped and returned to his old camp.
Gule Village continued to oppose the Ming Dynasty.
Nurhaci's grandfather, Jue Chang'an, was the chief of the Zuowei branch of Jianzhou, and his official position in the Ming Dynasty was also the commander-in-chief. However, he was actually small and weak. He always relied on his relative Wang Gao, who was the strong chief of Jianzhou, and often led his tribe into Fushun.
In the horse market trade, you can easily exchange linen and grain for pigs and cattle, and receive rewards such as salt, red cloth, and vulgaris.
After Wang Gao's death, all three generations of his family were captured by Li Chengliang. As a tribal leader with a Ming official hat on his head, Jue Chang'an himself was able to retain some face even though his tribe was almost scattered.
He was too ugly, but his son Takshi and his grandchildren Nurhaci, Shuerhaqi, etc. were not so lucky, and they were all treated as slaves.
After the Battle of Monan this year, although Li Chengliang suffered a small loss in the end, it was mainly because of his ugly face. In fact, he still gained a lot of credit. However, the trouble this time is that the credit was too great and the court could not get it.
After paying for the reward, if he wants to have another war, the treasury may not be able to support it.
So, Li Chengliang started to think about the Jurchens again - to fight Mongolia, you eat meat, and to fight the Jurchens, you can drink some soup more or less. Now that the court has no money, it is a little difficult to eat meat, so why not go to the Jurchens to make tooth sacrifices?
That’s fine.
Although Li Chengliang's unit has strong combat effectiveness, he did not reach this point just by relying on mindless fighting. He is also a scholar after all, so it is not surprising to use tricks, so he used his usual tricks -
—Use barbarians to control barbarians.
How to do it? According to Li Chengliang's idea, he would take Jue Chang'an and Takeshi, who had been "training" with him for several years, and return them to the Jurchens, and let them gather the remnants of the year and even more Jurchens to serve as their own.
Efficacy - this sounds nice, but in fact it is just being cannon fodder.
Of course, there may be changes in the specific use. For example, they can also be sent to deceive the gate of Gule Village, etc., because Atai's wife is none other than the granddaughter of Jue Chang'an.
That's why he said that he originally planned to let go - but he originally only planned to let go of Chang'an and Takshi, the father and son, but now because of Gao's pragmatic relationship, he planned to let go of Nurhaci, the eldest grandson as well.
Understanding this, Gao Pragmatic found that he could not speak even more, because now he could not even talk about the consequences of raising tigers - the three of them, grandfather and grandson, now had only one name, and even their subordinates had long since dispersed.
Seven or eight, if you say that letting them go is "raising tigers", I'm afraid Li Chengliang will laugh out loud.
My head hurts...
When in the original history did Nurhaci leave Li Chengliang and become independent? In the 11th or 12th year of Wanli? Hmm... It seems to be within these two years, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal if he leaves now.
However, when did he unify the Jurchens... no, unified Jianzhou? It seems to be around the 16th year of Wanli.
Well, that's okay, there is still a chance. Historically, this guy should have unified Jianzhou first, and then relied on the foundation of Jianzhou, and it took more than 20 years to gradually wipe out the entire Jurchen. I still have enough time to settle things.
he.
In particular, the "Three Major Expeditions" took place on the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was the battle to pacify Ningxia or to aid Korea in the fight against Japan, the direct descendants of the Li family army, who were the main force of the Liaodong Army, suffered great losses, especially in the battle against Japan.
It was huge, and Li Rusong died unexpectedly in battle, so it was Nurhachi's turn to become the leader.
These things can be changed because of me, so Nurhaci may not have a chance to become powerful. What should I be afraid of?
Besides, I might be able to be the governor of Liaodong before Nurhaci unifies the Jurchens or even establishes a state. With Nurhachi's habit of sending troops without Ming's instructions during the unification process, I'm afraid I won't find a reason to fight.
him?
Thinking of this, Gao Pragmatic felt relieved and no longer worried about a mere man with few subordinates and a wild boar skin pressed on his head by his father and grandfather.
