Chapter 340: The Feud between Sete and Ma's Clan
Tainingwei, on the banks of the Haramulin River, is also known as the Old River by the locals.
When the full moon is in the sky, reflecting the silver old river and lake, but it is a flag covering the sky, more than 100,000 troops out of the customs set up camp here, and the company extends for several miles.
The people in the camp shouted and neighed, and the sound was like thunder.
The camp tent of the commander of the seven towns surrounded the general tent, and from time to time there were cavalry running in and out, which made the Mongols all frightened and frightened.
The Mongols walked into the general account with awe and surrender, but it was Zhu Xieyuan's generals who washed the dust for the two "heroes" Ma Chengzhi and Yi'er Deng.
Zhu Xieyuan had previously specially explained that he would receive these two people with the most solemn courtesy, especially the Mongolian, Yi'er Deng.
Ma Chengzhi, in the Tainingwei area and even in Liaodong, is a celebrity.
In the past, the Li family was famous in Liaodong.
Li Chengliang formed the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, which frightened countless barbarians, repeatedly broke the strong barbarians, and his command of 8,000 families can be regarded as the prosperity of the border commander's martial arts in the past 200 years.
In addition to these two people, Jiajing and Wanli dynasties are also a collection of famous ministers and famous generals, and Ma Gui, who was the deputy general of Liaodong under Li Chengliang, is one of the most famous.
Like the Li family, the Ma family also has many talents.
Everyone knows Li Chengliang in the northeast, Qi Jiguang in the southeast, and the children of Liaodong have more awe of Magui than Qi Jiguang.
The so-called "East Li Xima" is exactly like this.
There was once a civil official who played the Wanli Emperor, saying that the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong Ma Gui Xuanli was the east and west, and the lord could be called, and the children of Li and Ma were the sons of the two generals, and they were more than a town, which was tied with Li and Ma in terms of time.
At that time, Li Chengliang had just been dismissed from the courtier's office, and many illegal things by his Li children also caused a rift between Emperor Wanli and his monarchs and ministers.
However, Ma Gui is different from Li Chengliang, the generals under his command, the halberds are supported, and the generals are handed down, and they are cowardly and evasive, and they are in the name of their families.
Emperor Wanli praised Ma Gui as "a famous general", but after removing Li Chengliang, he tried his best to override public opinion and appointed Ma Gui as the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong to garrison Tainingwei.
Before Ma Gui took office, Inner Khalkha did not have the power it has today.
Its lord Hulahachi, the father of the five lords of the current Inner Khalkha and the grandson of Dayan Khan, led his people to graze in the area of the outer Hetao on the eastern border of Liaodong, and the initial crowd was less than 1,000 people.
Later, Hua Da, the leader of the Taining Wei Mongols, married Hu Lahachi, and the two sides united, and their power surged, so they gradually became dissatisfied.
From the 25th to the 43rd year of Jiajing, Hu Lahachi and Hua Dawei tested the Ming court and led the Khalkha tribes to Liaoyang, Shenyang, Kaiyuan, Tieling and other places.
The Wanli court had three major expeditions, and at that time, the whole country was engaged in the war with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and there was no time to take care of Liaodong.
Hulahachi led his five sons, the current five major lords of the Inner Khalkha tribes, Wu Shosai, Su Jianghai, Wu Ban, Da Bu, and Fried Flowers, and constantly plundered caravans and annexed various tribes, making the power of the Inner Khalkha tribe strong for a while.
After the death of Hulahachi, the Inner Khalkha was divided into a situation in which the five major ministries were dominated and the small tribes were subjugated.
Its five sons who can fight well, such as Saisai, Sujiaohai, Wuban, Answer, and Fried Flowers, are also divided into various departments, and four of them are against Ming Tingyang.
Only the eldest son put the plug and changed his father's hostile attitude towards the Ming Dynasty.
After taking the fortress from the headquarters, it can be called deferential, and even this time Nurhachi sent a letter calling him to join Korqin to attack Fuyuwei, but he ignored it.
Nurhachi was extremely angry, saying that after destroying the Fuyuwei Mongols, the next one would be to annex one of the Inner Khalkha Fortresses.
In the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, the famous general Magui guarded Taining.
Fried flowers are not as knowledgeable as his brother Stopper, and since he received the headquarters, he has done more than his father.
By the time Ma Gui took office, the Taining Wei Mongolian fried flower department was becoming more and more rampant.
There are nine sons of fried flowers, all of whom are in charge of the people, before Ma Gui took office, the successive Taining border generals just blindly increased the annual reward, appeased the people, and avoided trouble.
When Magui took office, the first thing he did was to ask for a high reward.
In the thirty-ninth year of Wanli, Ma Gui's repeated presumptuousness and robbery of the people finally became unbearable and determined to crack down on the fried flowers.
At first, Ma Gui, like the previous generals, said that he wanted to increase the annual reward of the Taining Fried Flower Department, but he proposed to lead the troops to the old river in Taining to receive the reward.
The fried flowers are extremely arrogant, just like the middle of the day, they don't put the Ming Dynasty generals in their eyes at all, and when they receive the news, they will personally lead the people to ask for rewards.
Ma Gui set up a banquet during the day and gave a large reward, but he ordered people to raid at night, broke the fried flower department in the old river, killed 34 leaders of the fried flower department, and fried the flower himself fled to hide in the Elisu Mountain in a hurry.
Since then, Taining fried flowers have moved westward and have been in a slump.
The third son of fried flowers, Sete, was unwilling to submit to the Ming court, ridiculed the fried flowers and was old, no longer brave, broke away from the headquarters alone, led the troops to move back to Tainingwei, and waited for an opportunity to invade the interior.
Ma Gui had already expected that he would take the initiative to attack when Sete had a foothold before he heard of it, and he broke Sete, and many of Ma's children had made contributions.
After this battle, Sete moved west again, but he was still not convinced, and he contacted him in order to take revenge, and even fried flowers persuaded him not to make trouble.
Sete Xiushu united with the lord of Fuyuwei to dominate the race, and the lord of Tainingwei and the two of them tried in vain to break through the border defense with the help of the Mongolian forces of Fuyuwei and Tainingwei.
But Zaisai and Yi'er Deng are not fools, and they also know that Magui is not easy to provoke, so they both refuse verbally.
Yi'er Deng saw that Ma Gui used soldiers like a god, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, and he didn't do anything about it, but Zai Sai was concerned about Da Ming, and directly sent the book to Ma Gui about Sete.
Therefore, Magui learned in advance that Sete was going to attack the Qinghe, so he raised his tent to summon the generals to discuss the battle strategy, and united the border towns to attack in a big way, and set up an ambush along the Qinghe.
Sure enough, later Sete colluded with the Hara Han Naiban coalition to invade the Qinghe, but was suddenly defeated by the Ming army led by Ma Gui, and was defeated.
With this battle, Ma Gui became famous in the border of Taining, and now the Taining guard general, Ma Chengzhi, the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, participated in the battle of Qinghe.
Later, Fried Flower personally came to the door and begged Yier Deng, the Mongolian leader of Taining, to go to Magui on his behalf and ask for peace with the Ming court.
Emperor Wanli did not form an alliance with Fried Flowers, and as the Son of Heaven, he refused Fried Flowers' request for tribute, only sternly warning him not to do it again.
Intimidated by the military might of the Ma family, the fried flowers did not commit any crimes in the autumn after that.
Later, Ma Gui became an old man and went back.
Ma Chengzhi, the newly appointed deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was originally very vigilant about fried flowers, but found that fried flowers had always obeyed his words and did not dare to be dissatisfied.
The fried flowers have long been broken by Ma Gui, and as Ma Gui's successor, the Ma family army led by Ma Chengzhi also frightened him.
In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, fried flowers died in fear and worry, because they were afraid that the third son, Sete, would continue to disobey the Ming Dynasty after his death and bring disaster to his people, so he summoned the elders to ask for advice.
After thinking about it again, I still couldn't make up my mind.
He did not kill his relatives according to the advice of the clan elders and killed Sete, but he also made a will to order his fifth son, Narin, to continue to lead the Fried Flower Department.
After the death of the fried flower, Sete was really dissatisfied, and although Narin submitted to the Ming Dynasty, he was indecisive and did not arrest Sete in time.
After Seth fled, he united with the rest of his brother who was dissatisfied with Narin, unleashed a civil strife, defeated and killed his brother Narin with his own hands.
Later, Seth killed the clan elder who suggested that he kill him, as well as the rest of his brothers, and led the people alone.
Due to the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchens, he began to deliberately gradually move closer to Houjin, and continued to disobey Ming Chaoyang until he received an order from Nurhachi to unite with Korqin.
For Sete, his feud with the Ma clan was already a never-ending situation, and no matter how many times he was defeated, he would never truly surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Naturally, Sete was desperate for this alliance with Korqin and Houjin, and was the most attentive of the four Nekhalkha elders.
