One Thousand and Twenty-Three Restless Nurhachi
On July 6 of the first year of Longwu, in the city of Weihetuala, Nurhachi received information from the Kuandianbao area set up by Li Chengliang.
According to intelligence, the army of the Great Qin Empire was stationed in Kuandian Fort, stationed officials in the Kuandian area, and set up counties to rule, and it seems that they intended to stay for a long time rather than leave after patrolling, and the intention is unclear.
Thinking of the previous reward given to him in the name of Xiao Ruxun, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, as well as the new reward of the leader of the Great Qin Jianzhou Wei and the general of Guide, Nurhachi understood that Xiao Ruxun's Great Qin had gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains and began to rule normally.
and replaced the Li family's forces and stationed his own army in Liaodong.
Nurhachi found that his protective umbrella was gone, and the rest of the major Jurchen tribes were ready to move, but suddenly an edict from Xiao Ruxun was issued, which meant that he seemed to have a new umbrella, because he was the only tribe in the entire three Jurchen tribes who had obtained this edict.
The arrival of this edict made the Haixi Jurchen and the East China Sea Jurchen dare not act rashly, so they can only continue to wait and see.
For Nurhachi, the edict came at a timely time.
The Battle of Datong in Shanxi two years ago made him gain a lot and made him rich, but it also caused serious losses to his army, and the loss of elite soldiers and horses was difficult to make up for with any money, so he could only select elites from scratch to train them and slowly recover his strength.
It didn't take long for Li Rusong to come to the news of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, Li Rusong led the troops to Fushun and stationed, Nurhachi went to visit, and further learned that the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty was very serious, it was about the emperor's civil strife, it seems that someone had rebelled, but who it was, Li Rusong did not say.
After a few months, Li Rusong suddenly had to leave again, and when he left, he said that Xiao Ruxun had hit the Jingshi and seemed to have won the victory, and he had to go, otherwise, he might be wiped out by Xiao Ruxun's army.
Nurhachi was stunned, only then did he know that the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty was because Xiao Ruxun raised troops, and even Xiao Ruxun had now broken through the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, and he was victorious.
After some time, the news came that the Great Qin Empire had replaced the Ming Dynasty, followed by the departure of the Liaodong Army as a whole and the stationing of the official forces of the Great Qin, as well as the edict, the edict that turned Nurhachi into peace.
Nurhachi didn't know what kind of feelings he felt in his heart, he just felt that the world was impermanent, and he couldn't say anything.
Xiao Ruxun is the object of his awe, he fights sharply, has great achievements, is the first general in the rumors of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is actually the emperor, so what is it? Then why don't you hurry up and become a minister?
Nurhachi immediately went to the table and declared himself a vassal to Xiao Ruxun and Daqin, and after confirming the status of the monarch and minister, the Haixi Jurchen and the East China Sea Jurchen also stopped a little, after all, they were also worried that attacking Nurhachi would be hostile to the Great Qin Dynasty.
At that time, no one could figure out the national strength and external integrity of the newly established Great Qin Dynasty, but from the fact that he could defeat the Ming Dynasty, it could be seen that the country was strong, and if the Ming Dynasty could clean them up, then the Great Qin, who replaced the Ming Dynasty, could naturally also.
Sure enough, within a few months, the army of the Great Qin Empire entered Liaodong, and then garrisoned troops in various places, and the Jurchen tribes all had spies in Liaodong, and the entry of the Great Qin army caused the loss of some spies, and the surviving spies reported that Great Qin sent a large number of officials to station.
Subsequently, the news of the establishment of county rule and garrison in the Kuandianbao area came, and the greatest deterrent of Great Qin to the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong was formed.
Nurhachi was a little relaxed on the one hand, but also a little nervous on the other.
The strength shown by Great Qin is very different from that of Great Ming.
He hasn't adapted yet.
None of the Jurchens have adapted to the style of the new Central Plains dynasty, and from the information available so far, it seems that the style of this dynasty has some aggressive connotations.
Nurhachi's sense of smell has always been acute, and after sensing this unusual signal, he realized a little crisis, but he didn't dare to speculate too much, so he sent someone to gather five of his most powerful subordinates to come to discuss, namely Guarjia Fei Yingdong, Niu Hulu Eyidu, Dong Ehe Heli, Tong Jia Huerhan, and Jue Erchaan Feiyangu.
These five people are the five most powerful subordinates since he started the army to "take revenge", each of them is brave and talented, and they are his right-hand men who trust him very much, especially Dong E He Heli, Nurhachi did not hesitate to marry his then eleven-year-old daughter to him in order to win him over and form an in-law.
The two are not only confidants, but also have the love of Weng and son-in-law, and they have brotherhood, and the relationship is quite chaotic anyway.
This time, when the Central Plains changed drastically, Daqin Dingding, they also felt a different signal, as soon as Nurhachi was summoned, they also followed, and they reported what they knew to Nurhachi, summarized it, and then looked for the answer and made an estimate.
"The news I found is that the Han people in Liaodong have become passive, and many Han officials from other places have gathered the Han people into cities and villages, and then ruled them, and sent garrisons, the defense is very tight, and the border patrol team has also been strengthened a lot, and our people have sent back news that these troops are better equipped than the Liaodong Army, and the military discipline is very strict, and they have not seen a single attack on the Han people in the past few months, and many Han people are praising them."
Anferyangu first told Nurhachi what he knew.
Fei Yingdong immediately said: "I know that the news is similar, many scattered Han people have been gathered together and lived in the city, these troops and those Han people built new cities together, and then lived in them, now it is difficult for us to find scattered Han people." ”
Eyidu followed: "The Han people, who used to do business with us and sold us weapons and other things, can't be found, and the Han people don't seem to be reopening the border market, we have some very important things that have begun to be lacking, and the situation is not very good." ”
Hu Erhan also said: "We sent people to negotiate with the Han people, but they were blocked back, and the Han people's reply was that they would take the initiative to contact us, so that we should not summon them, and we should not go to them first." ”
Nurhachi's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
"What does Xiao Ruxun mean exactly? What does it mean that while sealing my position and rewarding me, he quietly closed the border market, did not give us what he needed, and did not negotiate with us? ”
Nurhachi looked at He Heli, who had not spoken.
He Heli is his most trusted person and his most important adviser, and when He Heli makes judgments that are rarely wrong, whenever there is a major decision, Nurhachi will ask He Heli his opinion.
This time was no exception.
He Heli, like Nurhachi, was also frowning and thinking, but he didn't know what to do after thinking about it.
However, He Heli suddenly thought of someone.
