Chapter 22: The Great Brightness and the Darkness

Just when there were rumors circulating in Korea that the country of the Japanese was about to invade and attack Korea, Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, as a great power in the upper state, still refused to go to the court as he should.

led to the neglect of government in the Wanli period, but was the Ming Dynasty really as brave as many books say?

History is not written like this, because the Ming Dynasty at that time made a mistake that must not be made during the Wanli period.

But the mistake was eventually made and sounded the alarm for the decline and fall of the Ming Dynasty.

So what and who made the Ming Dynasty sound the death knell at this moment, it depends on the sudden events of historical changes during the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, there will be a famous figure in the annals of Ming history, and this person is very special because of his identity as a gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty.

In the middle of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, due to the dispute over the national capital, the contradictions between the Wanli monarchs and ministers existed for twenty years.

Whether it is His Majesty the Wanli Emperor as the upper class, or as the civil and military officials at the lower level, they are already physically and mentally exhausted.

And the Wanli Emperor obviously has a feeling of resistance to the civil official group at this moment, and His Majesty the Wanli Emperor at this moment has received support from the eunuchs and Zheng Guifei.

There will definitely be no one who will stand up and say that they will support His Majesty the Wanli Emperor, and this kind of long-term friction and problems have made His Majesty the Wanli Emperor wine-colored and wealthy.

The more impulsive and the more impulsive he is, the easier it is to make trouble, causing Emperor Wanli to do some ridiculous things that the ministers think are ridiculous.

As a result, His Majesty the Wanli Emperor once again led the Ming Dynasty and stepped into another deeper national disaster.

Just after the petty officials in the seventeenth year of Wanli played the sparse, saying that Wanli had the disease of wine and wealth, the Wanli Emperor ignored the petty officials' sloppy soothing.

And the Wanli Emperor is really at a loss for the finances of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, because the culture and military of the Ming Dynasty need to spend silver taels.

The silver left by Minister Zhang Juzheng was gradually consumed, and at this moment, there was a movement to open a mine during the Wanli period.

Due to the proposal of the officials, the Ming Dynasty had no choice but to adopt the mining campaign in order to solve the financial crisis.

And if you want to open a mine, you must first mention a place, which is the Liaodong region of the Ming Dynasty. The main population in eastern Liaodong is dominated by the Jurchens, who have lived in the Heilongjiang, Mudanjiang River basins and Changbai Mountains for a long time.

The Jurchen people have a long history and culture, because this Jurchen tribe once established the Dajin Kingdom, which once destroyed the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Jurchens are also a more famous ethnic group, and the Great Yuan Kingdom, which rose in the later period, annexed the territory of the Jin State and destroyed the Song State.

After becoming a generation of heroes on horseback on the steppe, a period of imperfect rule began.

Of course, the rule of the Jurchen people in the Great Yuan Kingdom was not very ideal, and it was a very bad way of ruling, so when the early rise of the Ming Dynasty in the later period, it came to the Liaodong area.

After defeating the generals of the Yuan State at that time, the Jurchen lost their ruling class, and the Jurchen people in this historical period lived a relatively relaxed life.

It seems that the Jurchen tribe who were completely rescued by the Ming Dynasty attached themselves to the Ming Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty, and when the Ming Dynasty became the ancestor, the Ming Dynasty appeased and recruited the Jurchen people.

At this moment, the Ming Dynasty gave three special names to the Jurchens according to their geographical location, the first is the rising star and located in the south of the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the second is the Haixi Jurchen located in the western part of the Wakou West Sea.

The last and most interesting Jurchen tribe is called the Savage Jurchen, because no one knows about the Jurchen in this area, so it is called the Savage Jurchen.

In a special geographical location in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, there is a unique place, Terlin, and the Ming Dynasty has set up a special institution in Terin to manage the affairs of the Jurchen people.

At this moment, the leader of the Jurchen tribe, but anyone who submits to the Ming Dynasty will be given an official and a half position, and the person who leads the patrol in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the Ming Dynasty at this moment is a eunuch of the Jurchen tribe.

This famous eunuch was Yishiha, and his military forces patrolled the northeastern part of the Ming Dynasty.

And established a Yongning Temple in the land of Telin, and successively established two Yongning Temple monuments on the edge of Yongning Temple.

The inscription is written in Chinese on the front of the inscription and the Mongolian and Jurchen inscriptions are engraved on the back of the inscription, which also marks direct evidence of the Ming Dynasty's jurisdiction over the Heilongjiang River valley in the far northeast.

And Yishaha's contribution is also that he recruited and pacified those Jurchen leaders who were still waiting for the Ming Dynasty, and also made a positive contribution to the stability of the Ming Dynasty in the northeast.

Of course, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was still a very strong military moment, but after the rapid development of economy and culture during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

The only thing that was lost was the change in military power, and the decline of military power provided an opportunity for the Jurchen tribes that gradually rose in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the decline of the Ming Dynasty's military power, the Jurchen tribe followed the development of culture and economy, and its military strength and sphere of influence were also developing rapidly.

The Jurchen tribes in the Wanli period had more requirements from the Ming Dynasty, so some of the Jurchen tribes were led by the leader.

The actual control of the Ming Dynasty was harassed and plundered, and the emergence of this phenomenon gradually reflected the decline of the Ming Dynasty's military and national strength.

And during this period, there was a Jurchen who became the gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and this Jurchen was Nurhachi.

Nurhachi's ancestors once served as the governor of Jianzhou Jurchen, and Nurhachi's family went to Beizhili three times to receive the edict of the Ming Emperor.

Therefore, as far as the Jurchen place of Jianzhou is concerned, Nurhachi's family is an aristocratic family, but by Nurhachi's generation, the family was in decline.

Therefore, during the same period, Nurhachi used the wild things he hunted and took them to the Han people for exchange.

And then after joining the Ming army, he had a deep understanding of the history and culture of the Ming Dynasty, and the military power of the Ming Dynasty during this period was as strong as before.

Then there would be no Nurhachi as a rising star, but there is no such word as if in history.

It is a pity that the military strength of the Ming Dynasty declined, which led to Nurhachi completely raising the banner against the Ming Dynasty in the eleventh year of Wanli.

And this incident also began due to the Ming army's attack on Gule Village, which was a castle of Jianzhou Jurchen.

And the lord of this castle, Wang Gao, was named the commander and governor of Jianzhou in the early days, but when he saw the decline of the Ming army, he began to annex other Jurchen tribes by force.

It is even more regrettable that after Wang Gao became strong, he led his troops to infiltrate the actual rule of the Ming Dynasty to burn and loot all affairs.

So this aroused the anger of the Ming Dynasty, and while accepting the reward, it attacked and disturbed the Ming control area.

Therefore, Da Ming immediately called on all the Jianzhou Jurchen leaders to arrest Wang Gao, the leader of Jianzhou who repeatedly accepted rewards and rebelled repeatedly.

It was such a capricious person who was finally defeated by the Ming army, and fled to the Jurchen leader of Jianzhou but was dedicated to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty then executed Wang Gao, and Wang Gao's son Atai vowed to avenge his father at this moment.

Therefore, the action to resist the Ming Dynasty was carried out in the place of Gule Village, and then the Ming military force naturally besieged Gule Village.

In the later period, when he couldn't attack for a long time, he found Nikan Wailan, a Jurchen, and went to persuade Atai to surrender as soon as possible to spare him from dying.

If anyone kills Atai or sacrifices the city, he can take over Atai's current position.

At this time, the division and disintegration work was done very well, and then Gule Village was captured by the Ming army.

What originally seemed to be an ordinary victory brought great disasters to the Ming Dynasty.

Because at this moment, Nurhachi's father and grandfather were innocently killed by the rebels in Gul Village.

Because Nurhachi's grandfather and father were the ones who helped the Ming Dynasty at that time, and they were the ones who helped the Ming Dynasty to cooperate with the outside world.

However, these two people who helped Daming were innocently killed in the chaos of the army, so the later Daming also regretted the mistake that caused Daming to finally decline. At this time, the mediocre Ming officials could only apologize to Nurhachi and reward Nurhachi with thirty edicts.

Then Nurhachi could be crowned an official in his tribe, and he also rewarded thirty horses and appointed him as the left commander of Jianzhou as a little compensation for Nurhachi.

And Nurhachi didn't have the strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty at this time, and Nurhachi, who didn't want to appreciate it, transferred his hatred to Nikan Wailan.

In 1583, in the eleventh year of Wanli, Nurhachi began the process of annexing the Jurchen tribes of Jianzhou with the thirteen relics and dozens of brothers.

In the following time, Nurhachi will become the entire northeast of the Ming Dynasty and become a very acute historical issue of the Ming Dynasty.

But history also tells us that whenever a minority wants to shake a regime,

It is definitely the local influential leader behind the promotion, and secondly, there are many friendly forces helping this leader to promote historical change.

In the mediocre era of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty entered a period of historical decline.

The decline of the Ming Dynasty also has obvious events, and at this moment, there has been a sudden change in the western part of the Ming Dynasty, and this sudden change will affect the entire Ming Dynasty.

Just after the rebellion in the western Xinjiang, whether the Ming Dynasty can seize the opportunity to eliminate the forces that dare to rebel against the Ming Dynasty depends on the final choice of His Majesty the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
