Chapter 38 [The Battle of Gule]
At this time, Wu Junzhen continued to ask, "Hey! Brother Ma, this Dongyu was attacked by the imperial court, he must be honest, right? But Ma Wei's answer disappointed him! I saw Ma Wei continue: "Non-yes, non-yes! Dong Yu didn't get honest? β
Wu Junzhen was very curious and asked Ma Wei to continue, saying that on October 18, 1557, the 36th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty: Xitara Agu (Han name: Wang Gao) began to be dishonest, and he took advantage of the Ming army's southern transfer to attack the Muromachi Shogunate's Japanese Ronin, waiting for the opportunity to send troops to attack Fushun Shouyu Qianhu to kill Ming Fushun garrison: Peng Wenzhu, and led the Jianzhou right guard soldiers and Ming Jianzhou left guard to pacify: Aixin Jueluo Juechangan (Nurhachi's grandfather) wantonly plundered in the territory of Fushun Shouyu Qianhu.
On May 19, 1562, the forty-first year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the deputy commander of the Ming Tieling Guard: Hei Chun, learned that the commander of the right guard of Ming Jianzhou was plundering the Liaodong Capital again! He commanded the army to go to the Ming Donggen Fort guerrillas: Xu Weizhong, as the vanguard with the tiger squat cannon and the Ming army's three-eyed gunners to attack the right guard soldiers of Jianzhou saw that the Dongyu was about to be defeated, but unexpectedly, the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou in Ming Dynasty pretended to be defeated and led the Ming army to pursue, and set up an ambush to capture the deputy general of the Ming Tieling Guard and hack him to death with a knife!
Soon, the commander of the right guard of Ming Jianzhou attacked Liaoyang Wei again, but when the soldiers of the right guard of Jianzhou just entered the city, the commander of the right guard of Ming Jianzhou said, "Jurchen language: slow and don't enter the city, be careful that the Ming army has an ambush?" You can go with me to the Lonely Mountain Fort and plunder. β
On the 4th day of the first month of August, the commander of the right guard of Ming Jianzhou continued to attack Fushun Shou Qianhusuo, Tangzhan Fort and other places, which alarmed the local garrison of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and the commander of the right guard of the Ming Dynasty: Wang Guozhu, the commander of the right guard of the Liao right guard of the Ming Dynasty: Chen Qifu, the commander of the right guard of the Liao right guard of the Ming Dynasty: Dai Mian, the commander of the right guard of the Liao Right Guard of the Ming Dynasty: Wang Chongjue, the commander of the Ning Wei of the Ming Dynasty: Yang Wumei, the commander of the Ming Dangerous Mountain Fort: Wen Luan, the commander of the Ming Dong Ning Wei Commander: Yu Luan, the commander of the Ming Dong Ning Wei Tongzhi: Wang Shoulian, the Ming Dong Ning Wei Zhenfu: Liu Yiming, Dozens of Ming generals joined forces with 50,000 troops to resist the southward raiding of the Eastern Captives.
The commander of the right guard of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty knew that he was not their opponent, so he came to a general who planned to surrender the Ming army, so that the Ming army mistakenly thought that the soldiers of the right guard of Jianzhou were going to surrender and repent? But he didn't know that behind his back, the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou transferred the cavalry of the right guard of Jianzhou to the high place of the jungle.
Then he sent a letter to the generals of the Ming army to agree to meet at the place he arranged, and after everything was arranged, he sat and waited for the Ming army to take the bait, and the naΓ―ve Ming Ding Liao Right Guard Commander and Ming Dongning Wei Commander really thought that the Dong Yu was going to surrender? He relaxed his vigilance and went to the agreed place, after all, he was not afraid of the East Prisoner at all because of his large number of people.
As soon as he came to the designated place, Ming Dongning, Wei Zhenfu vaguely felt that something was wrong? He persuaded, "Your Excellency, two commanders of the guards, please forgive the general for bluntly saying that this is a jungle area, surrounded by many trees and low terrain, in case there is an ambush in the east?" Then our army.... β
These words were immediately interrupted by the commander of Ming Dingliao's right guard, and he patted his chest and said fearlessly, "Little Dongyu doesn't need to panic!" After speaking, he resolutely led the army into the jungle, and sure enough, the right guard soldiers of Jianzhou who were ambushed on both wings quickly threw down the rolling wood stones, smashing the Ming soldiers on their backs and turning their feet into chaos!
Then he shot arrows to suppress the Ming army's musketeers and artillerymen, preventing them from returning fire, and the Ming army was defeated and fled, losing 20,000 Ming troops!
At the same time, one of the four divisions of the Haixi Jurchen Hulun, the Hada Jurchen Belle: Nala Wan, also gradually became stronger, and there was a turf dispute with the commander of the right guard of Ming Jianzhou, and the two sides gathered their forces to discuss and finally reach a consensus at Fushun Pass, which was 2 miles away from Fushun Shou Yuqianhu.
In the second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, in 1574 AD, Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong: Zhu Yijun, because of the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty: Xitara Agu (Han name: Wang Gao), repeatedly killed the officials of the Liaodong Capital Division of the Ming Dynasty! It led to the first assistant of the Ming cabinet who assisted the government: Zhang Juzheng, who was furious and ordered to cut off the tribute city with the right guard of Jianzhou, which made the people of the right guard of Jianzhou lack of food, and on this ground, they gathered the Tumut department, the Horqin department, the Chahar department, and the Taining department of southern Mongolia, and invaded Liaoyangwei and Shenyang Zhongwei.
Among them, the commander of Wuliangha: Dong Fox, was led by Qi Jiguang, the general soldier of Ming Jizhou, to defeat the army of the Northern Barbarians and capture Dong Fox's uncle (Dong Changxu) and forced the Northern Barbarians to surrender to the Ming Empire.
On July 12th, the commander of the right guard of Ming Jianzhou led the right guard of Ming Jianzhou to suppress Fu: Xitara Lailihong, to snatch the materials of Fushun to defend the horse market of thousands of households, which caused the Ming army to be angry, and reported to the Ming Fushun guerrillas: Pei Chengzu, who was full of enthusiasm, immediately led 300 people to Gule Village.
But he didn't expect that the Ming Jianzhou Right Guard Zhenfu hurriedly persuaded the Jianzhou Right Guard Commander to give in to the Ming Dynasty, and sent a letter to Ming Fushun guerrillas to come to Gule Village to return the prisoners and materials, and the Ming Fushun guerrillas went with the mentality of giving it a try, but was ordered by the Jianzhou Right Guard Commander to kill the Ming army who arrived on the spot!
This move immediately aroused the attention of Zhang Xueyan, the right servant of the Ming Imperial Court who sat in the Liaodong Prefecture, and he asked the imperial court to let the Ming Liaodong General Soldier: Li Chengliang, immediately dispatch 40,000 Liaodong iron cavalry and 10,000 firecrackers, 200 artillery men to attack, and met the Jianzhou Jurchen right guard soldiers in Gule Village, and the brave Liaodong iron cavalry quickly rushed to the front of the Jianzhou Jurchen right guard soldiers to kill.
The first round of impact stabbed a row of Donglu with a spear on the horse, and then withdrew and lured the Donglu to pursue 200 steps, so that the Ming army firecrackers held the three-eyed guns, five thunder god guns, thunderbolts, and bird guns to shoot the Donglu together, and the Donglu was defeated and fled, and the Ming army killed a total of 1,000 Jianzhou Jurchen right guard soldiers, and also captured Wang Gao's eldest grandson: Aixin Jueluo Nurhachi, and the second grandson: Aixin Jueluo Shuerhaqi, known as the (Battle of Gule) Ming Liaodong General Soldiers saw that they were not bad and brave.
Among them, the commander of the left guard of Ming Jianzhou: Aixin Jueluo Juechangan (Nurhachi's grandfather) and the commander of the left guard of Ming Jianzhou know the same: Aixin Jueluo Takshi (Nurhachi's father), these two people also betrayed Wang Gao's family, and led the Ming army to slaughter the clansmen of Gulezhai with the heart of the Ming Dynasty, for which they won the trust of the Ming Liaodong general army and learned that Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi were their relatives, so they promoted Nurhachi to be the general banner of the right guard of Ming Shenyang, and Shuerhaqi was the small flag of the left guard of Ming Shenyang.
The Ming army under the leadership of the commander of the left guard of Ming Jianzhou searched all over the Gule village, but never found Wang Gao and his generals, and the commander of the left guard of Ming Jianzhou, who was proficient in Jianghuai official dialect, said to the general army of Ming Liaodong, "Lord Qiyu General Soldier, the last general doubts that Wang Gao will flee to the Jurchen Fourth Department of Haixi?" β
Hearing this, the general soldier of Ming Liaodong asked with puzzled eyes, "How did you know that he fled to the Jurchen Fourth Division of Haixi?" The commander of the left guard of Ming Jianzhou replied: "Although I am close to that Wang Gao, but I am in the imperial court, when I was in contact with Wang Gao, I accidentally found that he seemed to be very close to the Hada Department? Therefore the last will doubt.... β
But the general army of Ming Liaodong thought to himself; Forget it, Wang Gao has no soldiers and horses, and he can't make any big waves? It was directly submitted to the imperial court.
At this time, the commander of the right guard of Ming Jianzhou, who was hunting in the mountains and forests, was also known by the commander of the right guard of Ming Jianzhou after learning the news: Zhang Jia Anha, and proposed, "Jurchen language: Commander of the guard, now Gule Village is destroyed!" Why don't you change clothes with the shepherd and run for your life? In case the Ming army searched nearby, the last general would have to delay for a while. β
So the commander of the right guard of Ming Jianzhou had to change into shepherd's clothes, and drove a group of sheep to flee north in Haixi Jurchen Hada Department, and came to the outside of the city.
However, the Hada Jurchen Wan Khan, who received the notice, did not dare to be careless, he hesitated for a moment and thought; Do you want to accept Wang Gao? Summoned his eldest son, Nala Hu'er Hanchi, to hear his opinion? Hu'er Hanchi immediately said: "Jurchen language: Father Khan, we must not accept Wang Gao at will!" He is now a prisoner arrested by the imperial court, if we take him in? That is, to oppose the imperial court is to kill the head. β
After thinking about it for a long time, the Hada Jurchen Wan Khan finally decided to personally welcome Wang Gao, and in order to show his enthusiasm, he also specially ordered a banquet to suppress Wang Gao, and secretly asked Hu'er Hanchi to ambush the knife and axe to prepare to capture Wang Gao.
Wang Gao, who was moved by the enthusiasm of the Hada Jurchen Wan Khan, thought that the Hada Jurchen Wan Khan was really taking him in, so he followed him to the banquet with confidence, and in order to prevent Wang Gao from resisting, he let people put sweat medicine in the wine in advance for Wang Gao to drink, and Wang Gao lay on the table and fell asleep after three cups.
In the third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty in 1575 A.D., after careful consideration, he personally escorted Wang Gao to the Forbidden City, the capital of the Ming Emperor, to offer prisoners to His Majesty the Great Emperor and willingly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, the Mingshenzong wearing purple clothes was watching the performance in the Qianqing Palace, and the first assistant of the Ming cabinet: Zhang Juzheng, after learning that the Hada envoy had entered the court, announced that they would go to the palace, and the Hada envoy hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Slave, see His Majesty the Emperor, see the first assistant of the cabinet." β
Then the first assistant of the Ming cabinet asked: "I don't know what the Hada envoy wants to do when he enters Beijing this time?" "The Hada envoy reported the news of the capture of Wang Gao, and the first assistant of the Ming cabinet hurriedly asked people to change for His Majesty the Emperor (leather clothes) to go to the noon gate to accept the prisoner ceremony, after a cup of tea, the imperial car came to the noon gate, and the Ming Shenzong got off the imperial car and sat on the dragon throne to see the Hada Jurchen Wan Khan, and the Ming Jianzhou right guard commanded the envoy: Wang Gao, and the five flowers were tied up and handed over to His Majesty the Emperor.
The head of the Ming cabinet, who could not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, immediately persuaded His Majesty to behead Wang Gao for public display, and let the Liaodong Iron Cavalry take Wang Gao's body to travel to the nine-sided town as a warning, but Wang Gao's eldest son: Xitara Atai, and second son: Xitara Ahai, because of hunting in the Jurchen Department of the East China Sea, escaped, and Wang Gao's wife and daughter, 27 people, went to Atai.
