Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Zheng Hada

Fighting started again in Liaodong, and it was another fierce battle-in the autumn of executions, Nurhachi dispatched troops with lightning speed and conquered the Hada tribe. However, the incident was not made or provoked by Nurhachi, but by Yehebel Narinbulu. It turned out that Nurhachi accepted Hadabel Menggebulu's request for help in February and asked Menggebulu's three sons to come to Jianzhou as hostages. Jianzhou sent Fei Yingdong and Gagai to lead 2,000 troops to The Hada Department was stationed to assist Hada in defending Yehe. As a result, the strength ratio between Yehe and Hada changed immediately, and the Yehe tribe, which had the upper hand, immediately fell into a disadvantage. Of course, Nalin Bulu became nervous, and he, who was always ambitious, was unwilling to do so. Why is it so plainly lagging behind the Hada Department?What's more, he has always regarded Nurhachi as a thorn in his side, and he has always had the heart of annexing Jianzhou; so, after several discussions with his subordinates and hard thinking, he came up with a multifunctional "separation" plan. count.

He first managed to get through the joint affairs of the Ming Dynasty in Kaiyuan, made a bridge for him, and brought a letter to Menggebulu. After several rounds of scrutiny, the rhetoric became perfect and very touching. After the envoy handed over the letter, Menggebulu listened to his subordinates recite aloud for him: "The two departments of Hada and Yehe have always been friendly in the past. The state is the common enemy; therefore, we should continue our friendship in the past, resolve our differences, and cooperate hand in hand to deal with Jianzhou and carve up Jianzhou's land, people, and wealth in order to obtain the greatest benefits!"

Just like this, Menggebulu, who was not born with great wisdom, was already moved, but Nalinbulu further provided him with a detailed plan of specific actions: "You first capture Nurhachi quietly and unexpectedly. The two generals sent to Hada will exchange their lives for your three sons who are hostages, and then annihilate the two thousand Jianzhou soldiers in your Hada department in one fell swoop, officially breaking with Jianzhou; I will marry a daughter to you, It's good to rebuild the old one!" Then, the envoy from Yehe presented the gift prepared by Nalinbulu to Menggebulu. It was a well-crafted armor and was very valuable; Menggebulu immediately accepted Yehe's gift. Department of wooing.

A conspiracy was formed, and it proceeded quickly—— And this seamless conspiracy only made a small mistake, that is, it underestimated Fei Yingdong's ability. Fei Yingdong loved reading since he was a child, he was good at thinking, his mind was very meticulous, and his reaction was very fast; when the sound of hooves of the horseshoes of Kaiyuan accompanied by Envoy Ye He sounded in the Hada Department, his well-trained subordinates saw it at a glance. , and immediately came to inform him in detail, and his vigilance immediately sent out thinking: "It is neither a special day nor a special event. What are the officials of the Ming Dynasty and Ye He's people coming to Hada together? Zhou was here at Hada's request to help him resist Yehe, and someone from Yehe came, how could he not meet me?"

He felt something was wrong. So, while he sent people to report to Nurhachi, he also sent more people to secretly detect Menggebulu's surroundings; in less than a day, the definite news reached his ears: Menggebulu will be there next time. In the early morning of the next day, he was accompanied by the Kaiyuan official and the Yehe envoy to Kaiyuan, and discussed with Nalinbulu to jointly deal with Jianzhou. If it goes well, they will form an alliance at the same time— Nurhachi was of course furious when he received the news. He drew out an arrow, snapped it into two pieces, and then raised his voice to order: "Mobilize two thousand troops and attack Hada!"

After many years of military service, he has a deep understanding of the principle of "strike first, and then restrain others"; what's more, there is a more practical reason hidden in his heart: "The four tribes of Hu Lun were originally the biggest obstacle to the unification of Jurchen - just in time Hada is destroyed at this time—” Over the years, he has not been planning a single day on how to unify the Jurchen tribes and how to deal with the Hulun four tribes that are the most resistant; now that Hada himself has come to his door first, how could he not grasp it well?

He ordered soldiers, put on clothes, and led the army to go out in person. The scale of the war was not large, but because of the dying counterattack and brave resistance of the Hada tribe, they fought fiercely for six days and nights—— At the beginning, Shuerhaqi asked himself to be the vanguard, and led a thousand troops to go straight to the city of Hada; after hearing the news, Menggebulu, who had rushed back from Kaiyuan, made a firm deployment and lined up all the elite forces on the city wall On the way, Shuerhaqi was afraid of fighting when he saw it, and stayed on the outskirts of the city to watch.

When Nurhachi led the army to arrive, he reported to Nurhachi: "The Hada soldiers are ready, and their strength is not weak!" As soon as Nurhachi heard this, he became angry and scolded him loudly: "You coward! If you are not weak, you will be afraid!" As he spoke, he didn't care about hurting his brother's affection, left the flushed Shuerhaqi behind, and ordered the soldiers to attack the city. He personally commanded the battle, and the attacking team lined up in a circle, surrounded the city of Hada, and began to charge amidst the sound of horns and shouts of killing.

Hada launched a fierce counterattack, throwing huge stones from the city, and the arrows shot out were as thick as black clouds. The first wave of Jianzhou soldiers' charge was blocked and could not approach: All of them have undergone strict training, and even if they cannot move forward, no one will retreat. Even if there are many casualties in front, the team behind will still rush forward with a fearless spirit. In order to boost morale, Nurha rushed to the front line naked; he blocked flying arrows with a shield in one hand, and opened the way with a silver gun in the other. His tall body and horse became one, becoming a clear target on the battlefield; Yingdong and Gagai followed behind him, blocking the rain of arrows from left to right, and pounced on the city tower. More Jianzhou soldiers followed after him. Half a day later, some soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city, throwing rope ladders , ready to climb up the wall.

The defense of the Hada tribe also intensified, and a large number of people were sent to deal with Jianzhou's rope ladders, and they were cut off as soon as they were thrown up, so that the Jianzhou soldiers had no chance to climb up the city; the two sides remained in a stalemate until dark No progress yet. On the second day, Nurhachi changed his strategy. Instead of ordering the soldiers to climb up the city with rope ladders, they used "digging" instead. And they knocked and chiseled the city walls, destroyed the buildings, and made Hada City naturally loose. On the sixth day, Hada City was captured. Jianzhou's general Yang Guli was the first to rush into the half-fallen city and captured Menggebulu.

Being brought to Nurhachi's camp, Menggebulu crawled forward, repeatedly claiming to beg for death, but Nurhachi forgave him, gave him his sable hat and leopard fur, and took him back to Feiaraen The villages belonging to the Hada tribe also adopt the method of "recruitment". The livestock, property, equipment, etc. are all returned to the original owners, and the population is registered in the household registration, which is under the jurisdiction of Jianzhou—no matter in substance or in name, everything in Hada All belong to Jianzhou. Of course, Nurhachi was delighted with such a big harvest. After returning to Feiala City, he held a celebration banquet and rewarded all the meritorious soldiers. Except for Shuerhaqi who was punished, everyone participated in the event. They were also rewarded in real terms. However, despite the joy, he did not feel complacent about it, nor did he ignore the changes in the surrounding situation—a few days later, he called E Yidu, Fei Yingdong and others to discuss the matter. This time, he and his subordinates focused on Gao Huai. After Gao Huai came to Liaodong, relying on being the confidant of Emperor Wanli and the powerful tax supervisor, and Liaodong was far away from the capital, he took advantage of "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", so he went against the law in Liaodong. There is no difference between him and the tax supervisors and tax envoys sent by Emperor Wanli to other places; there are only two goals, one is to collect private wealth for Emperor Wanli; Thirty percent of them submitted it to the Wanli Emperor, and 70% of them were satisfied with it themselves; but there was only one result, and that was the suffering of the people all over the country. Immediately after the Linqing civil uprising, Liaodong also aroused a civil uprising because of Gao Huai's exploitation; the first incident happened as early as June. They sent Liaodong garrisons to suppress and massacre these people, and then reported to Emperor Wanli that they were "border bandits" causing trouble. Public grievances have accumulated so deep that it cannot be dispelled—it has been less than a month since Gao Huai entered Kaiyuan City in a majestic "eight-person sedan chair" and led a large number of entourages. However, what Gao Huai brought to Nurhachi was benefits—— "Many people from the Ming Dynasty shaved their hair and came to vote for me to build a state—" Jianzhou is still in its infancy and needs a lot of manpower and material resources. Of course, such a new population is welcome; and the reason why he wants to study with his subordinates is several technical processing methods so that The matter was more satisfactory: "First of all, Gao Huai should try not to know about this kind of thing, lest he become angry and trouble Jianzhou; in addition, we have to deal with Gao Huai well, it is not yet possible to turn against the Ming Dynasty At that time, the place that should be perfunctory should be perfunctory to him. Fortunately, he is greedy for money and good goods, so it is not difficult to deal with; settle down--" He took the trouble to explain to his subordinates carefully - he felt that this seemingly trivial matter, to ordinary people, was not as special as fighting a beautiful battle, so it was easy to ignore the past , but he feels that this is a very important matter that must be paid special attention to and handled properly. "When people from outside the country come to vote for our country, the difference will be twice as long!" As he spoke eloquently, a strange light appeared on Nurhachi's face; Jianzhou's development has taken a big step forward, and the future prospect is even more broad, and everything is not far from his self-expectation over the years —everything was going well and hopeful, and he was very relieved. Two days later, he had a new decision. He summoned Gagai, Erdeni and other subordinates who were in charge of documents, and solemnly declared to them: "From now on, when I write documents with foreign countries, I will call myself the 'King of Jianzhou and other places'! You write it down, Make no mistake!" Although at present, the main "foreign country" for Jianzhou's document exchanges is only North Korea, but the size of the country has established a foundation, the beautiful development has begun, and its own characters have been created. Of course, he should also have a name to show his identity to the outside world. No-- This is necessary, but he chose such an "ambiguous" title after some consideration: "North Koreans may not understand what we call 'Khan' and 'Baile'. 'King', they will know - but, at this time, it's not easy to say 'Jurchen King', 'Liaodong King', just say 'Jianzhou and other places'! Use it for a while, and change it later It doesn't matter! In short, let them understand that Jianzhou and other places are a country, and the 'king' decides everything—” On the one hand, I also secretly told myself: "This 'ambiguous' statement can only be used for five years at most-five years later, Jianzhou must have all the Jurchen ministries, and at that time, I will change my name to 'Jurchen King'! "
