Chapter 50: Chaos
The above is the savage Jurchen, of course, Zhang Zhaohua is particularly interested in the Jianzhou Jurchen, thanks to the influence of the Qing court dramas all over the screen in later generations, Zhang Zhaohua remembers very clearly, when Nurhachi raised troops in the Qing Dynasty, he called himself Jianzhou Jurchen, how is Jianzhou, this Jianzhou Jurchen, when Zhang Zhaohua asked, there was no such name. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's different from the savage Jurchen," Haitong said: "Haixi Nu really know how to farm and graze, they also have professional blacksmiths to build weapons or tools, some of them can speak Chinese, and it is not difficult to communicate, they have many tribes, some are kind to the Han people, and some are not friendly by nature, but generally speaking, they know our Daming, and they are willing to use their specialties, which are these things, to exchange cloth and tea with us." ”
According to Haitong, the Haixi Jurchens are distributed in the Yazi River Valley, and the Savage Jurchens are distributed in places such as the Heishui River and Kuyi Island. There are also some Jurchens distributed in the area of Mudan River, Suifen River and Baitou Mountain.
"The Jurchen is the form of tribal alliance," Haitong said: "The three major tribes of the Jurchens in Mudanjiang, the Huli Reform Department, the Towen Department, The Duo Mercy Department, especially the chief of the Huli Reform Department, Aha Chu, has a heart for the Ming Dynasty and is very friendly to the Han people, that is, he asked the Liaodong Wei Institute to exterminate the savage Jurchens, and our goods are also obtained from the transaction with Aha Out, as for the Duo Mercy Department, it is one of the five Jurchen military and civilian Wanhu mansions built by the former Yuan in the area of the present-day Heishui River, and its chieftain is named Mengge Timur, whose department has a very close relationship with the Huli Reform Department, and the two tribes intermarry with each other. But we only went to see Ahab, and we didn't go to see the fierce brother Timur. ”
"Why?" Zhang Zhaohua asked.
"Because the fierce brother Timur accepted the appeasement of North Korea three years ago, Quan Zhi Joseon State Affairs appointed him with the post of 'tens of thousands of households'," Hai Tong said: "In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Liaodong commanded the envoy to report to the imperial court, and the Korean state recruited more than 500 Jurchens to sneak across the Yalu River and want to enter the Kou. Later, he sent someone to North Korea to preach that what was called Li Dan or Li Chenggui, so he was scared again, and instead sent dozens of Jurchens to Liaodong. ”
Zhang Zhaohua seemed to understand a little in her heart, but she seemed to be confused, she found that the Northeast at this time was a very chaotic time- Not only are the virgin Jurchen alliances scattered and fighting each other, but also the North Korea, which has always been a vassal state of China in the Ming and Qing dynasties, is the small and weak North Korea of this country, and it dares to conspire against the people in Liaodong, and listen to Haitong's meaning, North Korea has never stopped developing to the north, and their relationship with the Jurchens is the strangest, and even the Goryeo royal family and the current Li family have hired the Jurchens to fight, and now North Korea is still setting up a bazaar trade in Qingyuan, communicating with the Jurchens, and is also soliciting Jurchen tribes, which is very covetous of Liaodong in China.
North Korea is the immediate evil, and now the Jurchens, who are living hard outside the place and wandering between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, are the big troubles.
"It's strange," Zhang Zhaohua said, "Then which Jurchen are we fighting this time?"
"It's the savage Jurchens who are fighting," Haitong said, "It's the savage Jurchens in the lower reaches of the Heishui River, they and the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty went south to invade other Jurchens, and they were the ones we exterminated." ”
Zhang Zhaohua asked again: "You traded with the Duolian tribe, what did you exchange for so many leather goods?"
"When we first arrived in Liaodong," Haitong said with a smile: "The commander of Liaodong prepared a lot of cloth and tea for us, saying that it was such a banknote, silk, satin and silk clothes or something, and we could exchange horses and skins with the Jurchens, His Royal Highness was very angry, but the situation behind was also very clear, we chased the savage Jurchens, just like driving cattle and sheep, and the iron horsemen scraped all the way over, and drove them into the deep mountains and old forests and did not dare to come out. ”
Zhang Zhaohua smiled: "I see. She picked up the gift list written by Aha Chu, the leader of the Duo Pian tribe, in Jurchen and Chinese, this is what Aha Chu gave to King Yan privately, and it is also a good fur and pearl ginseng or something, but Zhang Zhaohua also saw a few places: "It says, Waihu, Huang Ying, Hai Dongqing, I haven't seen these three things." ”
"Your Highness said," said Haitong, "the rest of the things are all native products, and they are used for food and clothing, and that's it, but these three things will lead people from diligence to pleasure, so they dare not accept it." ”
Zhang Zhaohua laughed and said: "Father is really a golden and jade good word!"
On the other hand, King Yan, who was resting in the middle hall, was also saying: "When I went to Liaodong this time, I saw that the Jurchen tribes were holding each other back, falling into divisions, and fighting endlessly, I felt something in my heart. North Korea is already gathering the Jurchen tribes, and our Ming Dynasty has not yet made a clear policy towards the Jurchens, and there is no place like North Korea to trade with each other, which will harm China sooner or later. ”
"Didn't you say this time," Princess Xu smeared medicinal oil on the frozen cracks on his hands: "The savage Jurchens are backed by Mongolia, and they want to annex other Jurchens?"
"I heard that Mongolia has written a letter to North Korea," King Yan said, "Let North Korea take the Jurchens and carry the Ming together." ”
"North Korea doesn't dare yet," King Yan muttered, "The Yalu River is a line, and you don't dare to cross it when you are idle." Li Dan was dissatisfied with the fact that the imperial court never canonized him as the king of Joseon, so he always made a fuss in Liaodong. He was unwilling to make a small fuss, and he was scared when he made a big fuss, I remember that two years ago, wasn't it like this, recruited 500 Jurchens, lit a fire overnight in the Yalu River, I don't know whether it was an invasion or a provocation, and when the court was responsible, he immediately sent the fleeing soldiers and civilians to Liaodong, and apologized. ”
"I think this has the right to know the state affairs of North Korea Li Dan," Princess Xu suddenly joked: "I must have learned this trick from the History of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Why?" Yan Wang stopped shaking his rocking chair.
"I remember that it was written in the Book of Tang," Princess Xu said: "When Tang Taizong, Tubo sent envoys to ask for marriage, but they were not allowed. Tubo repeatedly invaded the Tang Dynasty, and was finally beaten by the army and ran away, but they wanted to marry the Tang princess even more, and when they came to Chang'an again, Tang Taizong promised to marry Princess Wencheng. ”
"North Korea, do you also want to learn from Tibet?" King Yan laughed a few times and said: "I don't think that Li Dan can let go of his hands and feet, and I don't blame him, after all, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he is, but his fifth son Li Fangyuan has a heroic atmosphere, but it's a pity, it's a pity ......"
The more Yan Wang spoke, the lower his voice became, and Xu knew what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Among Li Dan's sons, the fifth son Li Fangyuan is the most outstanding, in the process of Li's plot to seize Goryeo, Li Fangyuan assisted his father in strategizing, and made great contributions, it can be said that Li Dan is now the uncrowned king of North Korea, Li Fangyuan contributed the most, but the problem is in the body, he can't get the matching position, because he is Li Dan's fifth son, although he is the son-in-law, but the queen mother, and Li Dan is now more favored by the younger son of the step-concubine Kang, and there is a great intention to set up a yellow-mouthed child as the heir.
What a resemblance! This is similar to the situation and origin of King Yan!
Heroes cherish heroes, just two years ago, in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, because Li Dan was reprimanded by the emperor for his tentative measures in Liaodong, Li Dan sent Li Fangyuan to China to offer horses and cloth, Li Fangyuan went to Beijing when he made a pilgrimage, passed through Beiping, and met with King Yan privately, and talked very happily. Li Fangyuan even privately allocated a part of the tribute horse to King Yan, but at that time, King Yan didn't know that it was allocated from Gongma, and he couldn't go back later.
But King Yan knew that his father, the eyes of the emperor sitting in the Fengtian Hall in the capital, were staring at Beiping all the time. If he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know, and it doesn't mean that he forgot about it.
