Chapter 13 Chapter 6 The Conquest of the Primitives

Two political incidents erupted in the process, the first being a conflict between Nurhachi and his son.Not much has been said in history about the conflict between Nurhachi and his son.Why not many?This is because the Qing people were doing history, and their original historical materials were basically destroyed if they could be destroyed, and buried if they could be buried, without letting you know their origin.It is precisely because we are not allowed to know that we want to know and must know.Only after knowing the origin of the past can we analyze the origin of our present. When Nurhachi was building his military empire, his goal was undoubtedly for future generations, but when his son's power was growing, it eventually conflicted with himself.At this time, the power of Nurhachi's son Chu Ying became stronger and stronger, and finally formed a serious conflict between the two forces.

Where does this conflict manifest itself?It is the dispute between the generals.Theoretically, between Nurhachi and his son, they are all members of his own family anyway, so there should be no problem.But those who follow Chu Ying are not of the same mind as those who follow Nurhachi.Under this power confrontation, the father is no longer the father, and the son is no longer the son, but a confrontation between two major military blocs. Whoever wins will have everything, and whoever loses will lose everything.Nurhachi must attack his son.In this process, he embodies a will to power, and power is not recognized by all relatives.

Then a fight broke out between Nurhachi and his younger brother.As the winner, Nurhachi's treatment of his younger brother Shuerhaqi is really cruel.How did he punish his brother?First he killed his two sons, and then he built a stone chamber and shut Shuer Haqi in. This stone room is spacious, half a meter high, half a meter wide, and half a meter thick. There is a stone cage. Shuerhaqi can't stand up and lie down, so he can only squat. There is a hole in the cage, and food can be thrown in. There is a hole for excretion.Why would he punish his brother in such an evil, cruel way? Checking the history books can't find the reason, because this "unjust case" was destroyed.

What we know is that Shuerhaqi clearly put forward a request for a division of the family. He believes that there should be a time for this kind of tribal war to stop, and the war can no longer continue like this.During the non-stop campaign, Nurhachi kept making excuses. For example, when he was fighting against the Yehenala tribe, his reason was that he had proposed marriage to the Yehenala tribe decades ago. But he was rejected - and there was no way not to refuse, he had too many wives, and at that time he was a big tribe and he was a small tribe.In this case, when Nurhachi was in his sixties—he was already an old man with a white beard, he called his younger brother Shuerhaqi to start a discussion. He said, brother, do you remember when we were young, I proposed to that tribe, He didn't agree to it - what a shame!We should raise troops to avenge this death.

Think about it for this Shuerhaqi, is this reason absurd?Bizarre or not?Anyway, it is unacceptable.Shuerhaqi couldn't understand Nurhachi's ambitions. Nurhachi's campaign was just a process. He honed his iron-blooded warrior through successive bloody wars.He wants to form a huge military group.And what Shuerhaqi thinks is about Xiao Fu's safety: Our Aixinjueluo family has grown from being almost wiped out, with only a few people left, to being so large now, which is enough. People can't be too greedy. If you want to fight, then you go and fight, I, Shuerhaqi, will not follow you.

What does this matter mean to Nurhachi?This means that the Eight Banners military system he carefully built will be completely destroyed. Because if Shuerhaqi led his troops to leave, Nurhachi would lose at least half of his troops, and these people would follow Shuerhaqi.Moreover, war is not what the vast majority of people yearn for. When Nurhachi made excuses one after another to force people to the battlefield, people fought for honor on the surface, but they were actually tired of war in their hearts and longed for peace. , Once the voice of peace sounds, the fighting power of the Eight Banners will be destroyed overnight.

Under such circumstances, Nurhachi invited his younger brother Shuerhaqi to come and drink together. During this period, Nurhachi once again made this request to his younger brother: Let's work together to attack the Yehenala clan.But Shuerhazi once again refused.After being rejected, Nurhachi ordered to open the window and said you look out.Shuerhaqi looked at a person hanging upside down in the distance, and asked: Who is this person?Nurhaci told him that he is your subordinate, the most loyal general to you, Urkun, because of his support, you are now fierce and no longer listen to your elder brother's orders, I will use the most severe criminal law to punish and indulge you The general who fought against me.Then he ordered his men to pour oil on Urkun's body and burn him to death.

At this time, Shuerhaqi knew that his elder brother had made a move, but he couldn't imagine how his own brother could turn his back on him, so at that time Shuerhaqi said: Brother, don't forget that I have two sons. What did he mean by that?It means that if you dare to kill me today, when my two sons grow up, be careful that they will avenge me.At this time Nurhachi laughed and said, I have already considered this for you, come here.Two people came in with two trays and lifted up the red cloth covering it. It was Nurhachi's nephew's head. In order to create a blind and aimless military group, to do this to one's own brother, son, and nephew is a cruel road to the emperor.Without this process, there would be no Eight Banners, no Houjin, and no Qing Dynasty.The probability of a cruel person like Nurhachi appearing is very low.But once this person appears, it means that the Ming Empire has a nemesis.

We can't imagine that a person can lay hands on his son, his younger brother, and his nephew, but Nurhachi can do all of this.This is why Nurhachi is said to be a genius primitive.That is to say, there is no one else in Nurhachi's mind, no brothers, sons, nephews, everything is just a cloud, and there is only one thing in his mind: me.I cannot tolerate anyone who confronts me, and I cannot accept anyone who provokes me. It was mentioned earlier that the distinctive temperament of Nurhachi may have been observed by Li Chengliang's wife, Mrs. Li.So why did Mrs. Li observe this temperament?Because Mrs. Li has been in the army for a long time, she sees countless soldiers coming and going every day, but most of them come to fight for a job, and the most noble goal may be just for their families.And killing one's own family for a non-existent, unclear or even vague political purpose is beyond our comprehension.

There is a law here, that is, once political goals overwhelm family affection, it must be evil. What do these words mean?That is, military violence must be aimed at protecting our relatives and family members. In order to protect our family members, we take up arms to resist rape; but if we take up arms and target our family members, this is already evil.This story tells us that the law of power is evil. Mrs. Li has insight into all this, and she promoted this historical process. Does she accept this process?no.She knows that people like Nurhachi are very rare. He can create a powerful empire and end a decadent era.This can be regarded as Mrs. Lee's expectation for the future, and although our judgment is not recorded in history, we are sure of it.
