【1049 Two Possibilities】
Cong Gulen Gege still didn't understand Wei Bao's series of operations.
"Since we know that the person sent is your person, why do you have to be so sneaky, and we won't say anything nonsense to Ming Ting." Cong Gulenge said: "Before your people treat my father Khan, you must try it first, as long as you don't want to harm my father Khan, you don't have to worry so much." As for the soldiers and horses, I bless you to withdraw them. ”
Cong Gulen Gege is a little petty, Cong Gulen Gege has actually regarded herself as Wei Bao's woman, she is standing in the position of protecting her mother's family.
Seeing Wei Bao, Bao Cheng smiled helplessly, so he could only pull Lacong Gulen Gege, and put Xiao Gegra aside and said: "Gege, promise him, his approach is more stable, as for keeping a few hundred people, it is for the sake of face, he indicated that he can withdraw the army, but leaving a little people, and showing that he is not led by our nose." It's not just for us, it's for his own people, and it's for the nearby Mongols. So, it's hard for you to move him to remove all the people. Moreover, his move also shows that once we want to negotiate peace, Yizhou City will not be able to keep it, and it will have to be left to the Heaven and Earth Society. ”
Hearing Bao Chengxian say this, Cong Gulen Gege knew why Wei Bao had to insist on leaving a few hundred people.
Cong Gulen couldn't help but walk up to Wei Bao and said angrily, "You're too cunning, aren't you? Calculate step by step, since you see us Jin people like Han people, why do you have to calculate so much? ”
"But you're still hostile to us." Wei Bao was not annoyed by Cong Gulengege's attitude, and there were few people in the world who dared to say that he was cunning in front of Wei Bao.
Cong Gulen Gege snorted and said neatly: "Okay! It's all up to you, right? Now send someone with us. ”
Wei Bao nodded to Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming next to him.
The two of them immediately started to arrange, it was all very easy, and the two incense sticks were all arranged.
In this way, Cong Gulen Gege and her entourage simply ate and drank, rested for a while, and hurried back again.
Yan Tiannan asked Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming to send Cong Gulun Gege together, but he did not come.
Cong Gulen Gege was a little concerned, she originally thought that Wei Bao would at least send her to the city gate, because when she left last time, Wei Bao accompanied her at the city gate for a while before leaving.
Wei Bao didn't send Cong Gulen Gege this time, mainly because Cong Gulen Gege came on behalf of Jiannu this time, and last time, Cong Gulen Gege only represented herself.
The nature is different.
When Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming sent Cong Gulunge out of the city, Wei Bao lay on the bed and thought about what would happen if he saved Nurhachi's life this time, or if he didn't?
Saved Nurhachi's life and cured Nurhachi's illness, it must be the most beneficial to himself, and it is better to settle the grievances than to settle the knot, and he has become Nurhachi's benefactor, and he also has a moral advantage, which will definitely be of great benefit to all aspects.
If Nurhachi died unexpectedly early because of the treatment of his own people, it would be troublesome.
Before 1599, the Ming Dynasty and Nurhachi had a honeymoon period of 16 years.
After 1599, as the process of the Jianzhou Jurchen's unification war against the Haixi Jurchen accelerated, the relationship between the Jianzhou Jurchen and the Ming Dynasty began to deteriorate gradually.
Many people think that Nurhachi's rebellion against Ming is a "long-planned" action, and Wei Bao finds this statement difficult to hold.
The statements in the Seven Hatreds, except for the first article "the death of the ancestor and father", occurred in the 11th year of Wanli, 1583, and the content stated in the other six articles all occurred in the 27th year of Wanli, in 1599, after the Jianzhou Jurchen annexed the Haixi Jurchen Hada Division.
Of these six, four more occurred in the 31st year of Wanli, after the Jianzhou Jurchens began to attack Haixi Yehe.
There are also four articles that mention the contradictions between Jianzhou and Yehe, and how the Ming Dynasty favored and supported Yehe's various behaviors.
In other words, in 1599 AD, when Nurhachi completed the unification of the Jianzhou Jurchens and began to carry out the conquest and war against the four Jurchen tribes in Haixi, the Liaodong Jurchens showed a trend of changing from the juxtaposition of various tribes to the dominance of one family.
The Ming Dynasty found that the power state within the Jurchens had been broken, and the strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens was too strong and was still developing rapidly, which violated the Ming Dynasty's consistent political proposition of hoping that the Jurchens would "stand side by side, suppress the strong and help the weak".
In this case, the Ming Dynasty had to quickly forgive the former unstable element Ye He, support him to fight against Jianzhou, and obstruct Nurhachi's annexation and conquest of Haixi.
The Seven Hatreds are the factual statements and emotional catharsis of this historical process from Nurhachi's personal standpoint.
In fact, what the Ming Dynasty did was not a failure, when Nurhachi promulgated the Seven Hatreds, although Yehe's strength had been seriously weakened, it was still under the direct protection of the Ming Dynasty, and it was annexed by Jianzhou after the Battle of Salhu.
The Ming Dynasty's ruling strategy over the Jurchens can be glimpsed from the recital of Yang Daobin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
The female straight is cautious of the old frontier, and the widow of the dead gold. ???? However, they will divide the female straight into three, and the place where the guard stands is two hundred and sixty, each of them is male and long, and he who does not make it one shall be covered with dogs and sheep, and he will want his canine teeth to be controlled. The ministers read the history of Jin and Liao, and the Liao people said that if the female direct soldiers are full of 10,000, they are invincible. They will be separated from their party, protect their herds and survive, and they will not encroach on them, let them fish and hunt, and have no choice but to feed them.
In short, nothing more than four words, "divide and conquer".
Judging from the specific measures, whether it is the blow to Li Manzhu and Dong Shan, the Jurchen leaders of Jianzhou during the Chenghua period, or the blow of Wanli to Wang Gao, the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, or the attack on the leaders of the Yehe tribe in Jianzhou, such as the Jianzhou Yehe chieftain and Yangjianu, which tribe and clan are stronger, they should be weakened by military force to form a balance of power among the tribes and clans.
Nurhachi's wish was to unify the Jurchens, and it took him more than 30 years to raise troops from the thirteen sets of relict armor, avoiding the blow of the Ming Dynasty's military forces diplomatically, and basically unifying the Jurchen tribes militarily.
The first hatred was that the Ming army "provoked outside the border for no reason" and killed his grandfather Jue Chang'an and his father Takshi.
The second hate is that the Ming Dynasty broke its oath and "sent troops out of the border to protect Ye He".
The third hatred is that Mingchen broke his oath, accusing Jianzhou of killing the Han people who were mining ginseng on the border, and forcing Jianzhou to send ten people to be beheaded on the side.
The fourth hatred was that the Ming Dynasty "sent troops out of the border to defend Yehe", so that Yehe hired him to "transfer to Mongolia" with Nurhachi and his son Daishan's daughter.
The fifth hatred is that the Ming court sent troops to expel the Jurchens who lived in Chaihe, Qila, and Fanaha to cultivate fields and cultivate grains, and "did not allow harvest".
The sixth hatred was that Emperor Ming listened to Ye He's slanderous words, sent people to hold a letter, "prepared a book and said evil words", and insulted Jianzhou. The seventh hatred was that the Ming court forced Nurhachi to withdraw from the annexed Hada region.
The core contradiction between the Ming Dynasty and Nurhachi is the contradiction of whether the Jurchens should be reunified.
Analyzing the seven hatreds in this way, it can be found that the first six are all appearances, and the seventh, that is, "the Ming court forced Nurhachi to withdraw from the annexed Hada region", is the core.
In order to balance the power of the Jurchen tribes, the Ming Dynasty favored the Yehe tribe to suppress Nurhachi in the contradiction between Jianzhou and the Jurchen Yehe tribe in Haixi.
Therefore, the seven hatreds show that the contradictions between the Ming Dynasty and Nurhachi have become irreconcilable, and there is no way to continue to resolve them through negotiations, and a war will inevitably be fought in the end, which shows that the military is indeed an extension of politics.
The first of Nurhachi's seven hatreds was that the Ming Dynasty killed his father and ancestor.
But the strange thing is that Li Chengliang, who is the culprit of killing his father and ancestors, has a Qing generation, but it has been standing peacefully in Beizhen City, and no one has smashed him.
Isn't that weird?
In fact, Wei Bao knew that when Wei Bao thought about it, Nurhachi claimed that his father and ancestor were in the Ming army when the Ming army encircled and suppressed his cousin-in-law Atai, and his grandfather Juechang felt sorry for his granddaughter, and went to Gule Village where Atai lived with his father Takshi to pick up his granddaughter, but was killed together when the Ming army captured the walled city.
However, at that time, Gule Village had been surrounded by the Ming army, and in the rain of swords and arrows, how could these two people enter the city casually, as if they were in a no-man's land.
Nurhachi's grandfather and father are not Changshan Zhao Zilong.
And even if the two of them were lucky enough to enter the city before the Ming army attacked the city, it was understandable that as the families of the traitors, they were killed by the Ming army with their son-in-law.
Why was Nurhachi able to ask the Ming court for justice later, and how could the Ming Dynasty, who had just destroyed Wang Gao and was full of ambition, obediently give Nurhachi a large amount of compensation to a child.
In fact, the truth of history is that Jue Chang'an and Takshi, the two wallheads, faced the powerful Ming army, and had long abandoned their own grandson-in-law for the sake of their lives, and led the way for the Ming army to destroy their own grandson-in-law Atai and seek glory and wealth.
It's a pity that in the chaos of the army, these two leading parties were also dressed as Manchurians and money rats, and they were killed by the Ming army as traitors.
Therefore, Nurhachi was able to ask the Ming court for compensation with confidence, and Li Chengliang was guilty of playing for him to the court.
In fact, in the early years of Nurhachi, he also boasted to other tribes: "My father and ancestor were killed by the Ming people, and the Ming people gave me 30 edicts and 30 horses as compensation." And your father and ancestor were killed by the Ming people, but they did not receive any compensation! "Suppress the other tribes with the preferential treatment given to them by the Ming court.
It was only later that Nurhachi gradually unified the Jurchen tribes, and his wings hardened and he dared to challenge the Ming Dynasty, so he made up an excuse to use the enmity of his father and ancestors as an excuse to start a war against the Ming court.
Later, when the Qing army entered the customs and dominated the world, the Manchus were naturally more embarrassed to mention the glorious history of their ancestors who had led the way for the Ming Dynasty, so they were even more secretive about this history.
However, fortunately, the descendants of the Jiancheng chieftain are still conscientious, and they are still grateful to Li Chengliang who applied for compensation for him, and they are not embarrassed to retaliate against the Li family according to the nonsense hatred made up in the seven hatreds, so they left this Li Chengliang stone archway.
If it weren't for the Manchurian virtue of Yangzhou for ten days and the three massacres of Jiading, if the two sides really had a great enmity for killing their fathers and ancestors, how could they have always respected Li Chengliang so much.
The seven hatreds can be summed up in four aspects.
The core is the economic aspect, first of all, trade frictions.
There has always been a trade war between the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchen tribes.
The Ming Dynasty market had a great demand for ginseng and mink skins, and trade with the Ming Dynasty had always been an important source of income for the Jurchens.
Although these businesses fed the Jurchens, due to the tighter organizational structure of the Ming Dynasty, for a long time, most of the profits from the border trade were captured by Han merchants and Ming officials.
Sometimes, the shipping price of ginseng and mink of the Jurchen tribe is even lower than the cost, which causes dissatisfaction among the Jurchen tribe.
Since 1600 AD, Nurhachi began to use various means to try to raise the price of ginseng and mink to obtain more profits, which triggered a trade war between the two sides.
In addition, as the population of Liaodong increased, the borders between the Jurchens and the Han began to blur, and the two sides repeatedly clashed over land and other resources.
The end of the Ming Dynasty was the famous Xiaoice River period in history, various natural disasters continued, and the internal economic pressure of the Jurchens and Han people increased, which objectively exacerbated the economic conflict between the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty.
The fifth and sixth of Nurhachi's seven hatreds deal with his friction with the Ming Dynasty over land and trade.
Secondly, in the military aspect, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court adopted the strategy of "razing and defeating" for a long time in the direction of Liaodong, supporting the Haixi Jurchens and fighting against the Jianzhou Jurchens. Since the annexation of the Ula tribe in the 41st year of Wanli, Nurhachi has repeatedly used troops against the Yehe tribe in an attempt to unify the Jurchen region, but finally gave up because of the intervention of the Ming Dynasty.
Nurhachi gradually realized that it was almost impossible to unify the Jurchen tribes without going to war against the Ming Dynasty.
Politically, the Ming Dynasty adopted a strategy of division and co-optation of the Jurchen tribes for a long time, not only supporting Yehe and other tribes to fight against Nurhachi for a long time; He also tried to divide the Nurhachi clique by wooing Nurhachi's younger brother Shulhaqi, which had a serious impact on the unity and stability within the Nurhachi clique.
Finally, and least importantly, is the historical hatred, Nurhachi's father and ancestor served the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but in the end he was killed by Li Chengliang, the Ming Dynasty was not only extremely stingy in terms of compensation, but also tried to support the murderer of Nurhachi's father and ancestor, Nikan Wailan, to replace the position of the Aixin Jueluo family in Jianzhou.
After the battle of Erkhun, he tried to shelter Nikan Wailan, which was hated by Nurhachi.
In addition, Xiao Bozhi, a middle- and lower-level military attache in the Ming Dynasty, once pretended to be the governor, regarded himself as a minister, wore a python clothes and jade belt, and rode in a sedan chair, making Nurhachi bow to the decree, which made the Jurchens feel a huge insult and was also regarded as one of the seven hatreds.
In the third year of the Mandate of Heaven, in the first month of the forty-sixth year of Wanli, Nurhachi announced to Zhubeile: "My will has been decided, and I will conquer the Ming Kingdom this year!" On April 13, he sued the sky with seven hatreds and raised troops against Ming.
The Seven Hatreds were essentially just an excuse for the fledgling Nurhachi to go to war against the Ming Dynasty.
One day in the tenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, a little princess was born in the Jurchen Yehe Department, and the great shaman Yehe prophesied, "This woman can prosper the world and die in the world." ”
As soon as these words came out, the little princess immediately became famous throughout the Jurchen clan.
Xu is destined to be extraordinary, and sure enough, this princess will grow up and fall into the country and the city, and is known as the first beauty of the Jurchens.
Although her life was only a short period of more than 30 years, it brought earth-shaking changes to the Jurchen race.
The Jurchens, later changed to Manchu by Huang Taiji, were the second ethnic group in China to enter the Central Plains to establish a unified dynasty.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens were divided into three parts: the Jianzhou Jurchen, the West Sea Jurchen, and the East China Sea Jurchen.
Among them, the Jurchens of the West Sea are divided into four divisions: Ula, Hada, Huifa, and Yehe.
When the princess Yeh was nine years old, she was betrothed to the Hada merchant Beyler.
However, this was only a beautiful ploy set up by Mengeblu of the Yeh and Hada tribes to compete for the position of the leader of Hada.
On the way to welcome his relatives by the gangster Baylor, he was ambushed by Yehe and unfortunately died.
At the age of nine, this princess Yehe easily "destroyed" the leader of the Hada tribe, and from then on, the head of the Hada tribe became Mengebulu.
This is the first time that Princess Yehe has "married".
Later, Yehebu betrothed her to Buzhantai of the Ula tribe, so as to induce Buzhantai to participate in the Battle of the Nine Divisions against Nurhachi, the Jianzhou Jurchen.
However, Buzhantai became a prisoner of Nurhachi during the war, and the marriage contract was ended.
In this battle, Bu Zhai was also killed by Nurhachi, and due to the defeat of the Nine Coalition Forces, Yehebu betrothed this woman to Nurhachi, hoping to curry favor with Nurhachi.
However, this princess Yehe was unwilling to marry her father-killing enemy, and let go of her arrogance, "Whoever can kill Nurhachi, I will marry him."
This is the first time that Princess Yehe has mastered her own marriage, and the only condition is that she will never marry Nurhachi.
In order to win the beauty, Mengebulu of the Hada tribe declared war on Nurhachi.
As a result, he became a captive of Nurhachi and was killed.
Two years later, Nurhachi annexed the Hada tribe.
Next, Baiyin Dari of the Huifa Department became engaged to Princess Yehe, reneged on his marriage to Nurhachi's daughter, and declared war on Nurhachi.
Of course, as a result, like the Hada Division, Nurhachi sent troops to the city of Huerqi, and it didn't take much effort to destroy Hui Fa.
Eventually, Yehebe gave the princess to Buzhantai of Ullah, and Buzhantai reneged on his marriage and oath to Nurhachi.
In a fit of rage, Nurhachi destroyed Ullah, and Buzhantai fled to Yeh, but the Yeh princess refused to marry the defeated general.
Because of the several marriage contracts of this princess Yehe, three of the four Jurchens of the West Sea were wiped out by Nurhachi, and only the Yehe department where the princess was located barely fought against the Jianzhou Jurchens.
At this time, the princess was already thirty-three years old, and she was already the age of being a grandmother at that time.
Therefore, the history books call this princess the old daughter of Yehe.
Finally, this old woman Yehe married Mongolia at the "advanced age" of thirty-three.
The reason why Yehebu married Yehe's old daughter to Mongolia was to lure Nurhachi against Mongolia and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
This Jurchen beauty who has captivated the country and the city has been married seven times in her life, but she died a year after she got married.
It seems that she was born to let Nurhachi dominate the Jurchens.
After her death, Nurhachi destroyed Yehebu and unified the Jurchens on the grounds that Yehebu had remarried the old daughter of Yehe, who had been promised to her, to Mongolia.
And the old woman Yehe has also become one of Nurhachi's seven hatreds.
Ming crossed the border to help Ye He with soldiers, so that the daughter I had hired was adapted to Mongolia, and this hatred was also four.
This is Nurhachi's fourth hatred, not because he didn't make meritorious achievements, not because his Jianzhou Jurchen was not strong enough, but because of a woman, and this woman once threatened to kill him, she really hated him, but she also helped him.
Although Wei Bao has not had a formal conversation with Nurhachi, he has not even been in contact.
But as the time passed in this era, Wei Bao felt that he knew more and more about Nurhachi and the Manchurians.
Wei Bao felt that Nurhachi was a simple person, and his ability was definitely there, but it was limited.
This man is too shrewd, too cunning, much like a fox on the prairie.
From Nurhachi currying favor with Li Chengliang, surviving, and growing, to biting back at Mingting, it all shows this characteristic of Nurhachi.
But Wei Bao felt that leaving Nurhachi would be of great benefit to both Ming Ting and him.
Because after playing for a long time, you can also play emotionally!
Wei Bao felt that Nurhachi definitely had a sense of belonging to the Ming Court than Huang Taiji.
In other words, Nurhachi is definitely not as black as Huang Taiji.
Moreover, Wei Bao is a reborn crossing giant, and he knows that Nurhachi's ability cannot catch up with Huang Taiji.
If Huang Taiji comes to power early, the situation of the Jiannu and Baojun, the Ming court, and the Mongols, the situation in all aspects is likely to undergo major changes!
Therefore, Wei Bao secretly hoped that this time his personal military doctor could successfully heal Nurhachi, and Nurhachi would agree to his request for compensation of 28 million taels of silver.
Cong Gulen Gege and his entourage, non-stop, only took one day, and rushed back to the outside of Yizhou City.
Jiannu didn't dare to slack off, and after finding out their identities, they quickly let them into the city.
