Chapter 281: Ambitious
When Li Hongyu made up his mind to fight Nurhachi around Tieling, Nurhachi entered Kaiyuan City, which was conquered by the Later Jin army, surrounded by everyone. ②⑤⑧
The streets of the city are full of corpses, there are Ming army, there are also Houjin army, and the people in the city, which makes Nurhachi's brows frown, the fierceness of the resistance of the soldiers and civilians of Kaiyuan City is beyond his imagination, if every city in the Ming Dynasty is as difficult to attack as Kaiyuan City, then the Houjin army will suffer a big loss.
In this battle, Nurhachi is bound to win against Kaiyuan City, as long as he captures this important military town in Liaobei, then Daming will not be able to trap him in Liaodong, so he will personally lead the army to come.
For this reason, Nurhachi deliberately brought the four major Baylors who were the most capable of fighting in Houjin, and finally took Kaiyuan City.
At the same time, Nurhachi also realized from the casualties of the siege that although the Houjin army was very capable of field combat, it was weak in siege, otherwise there would not have been so many casualties.
"See the Great Khan!" Soon after Nurhachi entered the city, the four great Beylers galloped on horseback, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Nurhachi, all in high spirits.
The reason why Nurhachi was able to defeat the Ming army in Salhu was inseparable from the four great beylers who could fight well, and the Eight Banners soldiers achieved a great victory in the battle of Salhu under the leadership of the four great beylers.
This attack on the original city, the four Baylors fought bravely, and they all wanted to make the first contribution in this battle and become the Baylor with the highest military merit, which was a huge honor.
It is worth mentioning that among the four Baylors, although the Four Baylor Emperor Taiji, who is in charge of the white flag, is young, he is very talented in military affairs, and he has an advantage in the Battle of Salhu, which is deeply favored by Nurhachi.
In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Huang Taiji was only twenty-three years old, and he was the youngest banner owner among the Eight Banners, with outstanding military talent.
During the Battle of Sarhu, after the vanguard of the Houjin passed through the Zakha Pass, according to the original plan, they should have stopped and waited for the Nurhachi army behind.
However, Huang Taiji made a judgment based on the battlefield situation, and proposed not to wait for the rear army, but to speed up the pace to prevent the Ming army from attacking the people who built the city in Houjin.
When the Houjin army marched to Tailangang, Dabel Daishan and Nurhachi's nephew Darhan wanted to hide the army, and Huang Taiji did not agree to this approach, saying that the Houjin army should be deployed against the enemy, and the people would also bravely participate in the battle when they saw this situation.
Nurhachi's confidant and beloved general, who was also one of the five ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was also very much in favor of Huang Taiji's proposition, so the Later Jin army entered the battle with the Ming army according to Huang Taiji's advice.
With the cooperation of the people who built the city, the Houjin army annihilated Juniper in Tiebei Mountain, won the first battle, and then went north to meet the Kaiyuan General Army Ma Linjun, on the way Huang Taiji defeated the rear camp of the Juniper Army guerrilla Gong Niansui and Li Xiyu's department.
After winning on the west and north roads, and preparing to move to the east road, Huang Taiji followed closely behind Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai among the four major beylers.
In Abu Darigan, the Houjin army led by Huang Taiji and Dai Shan met with the Ming army, and the two cooperated with each other to defeat the Ming army, making great contributions to winning the victory of the Battle of Sarhu.
"Great Khan, we have captured some captives who have surrendered, should we kill them and avenge the death of our brothers?" After saluting Nurhachi, Dai Shan smiled and said to Nurhachi that he was very happy to capture such an important military town as Kaiyuan this time. (2) (5) (8) Chinese website
"He knew that God blessed me, and he heard that my country loved and nurtured the people, so he came back one after another." Nurhachi groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said in a deep voice to Dai Shandao, "Those who want to achieve great things should be broad-minded, not just fight and kill, and we should raise people who come to vote, so that we can gain an invincible foothold."
"The Great Khan has taught them the right lesson, and I will let them be appeased." Dai Shan smiled disappetically when he heard this, and said to Nurhachi.
And Huang Taiji, who was standing on the side, his eyes lit up, and he nodded thoughtfully, and he had a lot of feelings about Nurhachi's words, if Houjin wanted to compete in the world, he must absorb those captives who were captured or surrendered, so as to expand his strength.
Otherwise, with the population of the Jurchens, the Houjin army could only show off its might in the eastern Liaodong region, and it was still far from being able to compete in the world.
Therefore, Nurhachi attached great importance to the policy of co-opting captives who surrendered, which led to the creation of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, which made the Later Jin army stronger and stronger.
After Nurhachi's preferential treatment and surrender, the tactics of Jin Daming's officials quickly took a miraculous effect, and six military attachés, including Kaiyuan Chengqian Chief Engineer Yiping, Dai Jibin, Jin Yuhe, and Bai Qice, surrendered to Houjin because his wife was taken captive.
Nurhachi was very generous to these descendants, and gave them fifty slaves, fifty horses, fifty oxen, fifty sheep, two camels, and a reward of silver and goods.
Not only that, but his entourage was also given by Nurhachi with wives and servants, ploughing oxen, horses, clothing, grain, fields and utensils.
Li Hongyu admired Nurhachi very much about this, you must know that not everyone can do this, Nurhachi laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the Manchu Qing by dividing the officials of the Ming Dynasty, buying off the landlords of the Han nationality, and occupying more towns in Liaodong.
Surrounded by Dai Shan and Huang Taiji and others, Nurhachi entered the General Military Mansion in Kaiyuan City, he had been to Kaiyuan City when he was young, but naturally he could not enter the important Yamen of the General Military Palace, so he could only watch from afar, thinking that it was majestic and magnificent.
Now, the entire Kaiyuan City has been held in the palm of his hand, Nurhachi's mood suddenly became a little mixed, he never imagined that he would one day defeat the powerful Da Ming.
In the meeting hall of the General Military Palace, the generals of the Houjin Army sat on chairs on both sides of the hall and talked and laughed, and asked Nurhachi, who was sitting at the top of the house, to fight, wanting to take down Tieling in one go.
However, Nurhachi still kept a cool head, and was not as excited as the generals of the Houjin Army, Tieling was definitely going to be defeated, but the Battle of Kaiyuan caused a lot of casualties in the Houjin Army, so the soldiers had to rest, he can now treat every soldier as a treasure, and if one dies, one will be less.
After all, the Houjin army now relied on Jurchens to fight, which made it impossible for Nurhachi to urge his soldiers to fight continuously, which would result in unnecessary casualties.
In addition, through the Battle of Kaiyuan, Nurhachi realized that he had despised the determination of the Ming army and people to resist, so he did not want to have a bloody battle in Tieling, so he had to make arrangements as soon as possible, and arranged for Neiying to come to meet the Houjin army besieging the city.
"Great Khan, according to the report of the spies, the people of the Yehe Department have now left the station and are preparing to migrate to Ningyuan, and it is said that the Ming Emperor has carved out a place for them."
While everyone was talking and laughing, a soldier suddenly rushed into the hall and reported to Nurhachi in a loud voice.
"What?" Hearing this, including Nurhachi, everyone at the scene was taken aback, and no one could have imagined that Yehebu would flee with his clan.
However, after thinking about it, everyone understood the reason, it must be that the people of Yehebu were worried about the retaliation of Houjin, so they fled for refuge.
To everyone's surprise, the imperial court, which had always despised the Jurchens, would care so much about Ye Hebu that it would arrange a place for them to live, which really surprised them.
In fact, it was a wise choice for Jin Taishi and Buyangu to move to Ningyuan, otherwise both would have died in the dead world.
When the Houjin army captured Kaiyuan and Tieling, Nurhachi's next target was Yehe, and just when the outside world thought that he was going to attack Fushun City south of Tieling, Nurhachi turned his troops and concentrated his forces on attacking Yehe.
In August of the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Nurhachi held a swearing-in meeting after concentrating his troops, and made an oath: "If you don't Keyehe, you won't return to the division!" ”
In the face of the menacing Later Jin army, Jintaishi and Buyangu held the east and west cities respectively.
Since the Later Jin army did not have a very good way to siege the city, it adopted the tactics of attacking Qinghe Fort, and Nurhachi asked the soldiers of the Later Jin army to dig down the walls of the eastern city, and the Later Jin army then attacked the city.
As soon as the outer city was broken, the inner city of the eastern city immediately became precarious, so Jin Taishi led his family to climb the octagonal tower of the forbidden city to resist stubbornly, and was surrounded by the Houjin army on the platform of the forbidden city.
Because Jin Taishi is Huang Taiji's own uncle, Huang Taiji, who originally attacked Xicheng, heard that Dongcheng had been captured, and immediately rode from Xicheng to Dongcheng to persuade Jintaishi to surrender.
However, Jin Taishi refused to surrender and died with fire.
Seeing that the eastern city had been broken, and the remaining western city was lonely, Buyangu surrendered after receiving a guarantee that he would not kill Nurhachi.
It is a pity that Nurhachi was deeply jealous of the Yehebu, and in order to prevent the Yehebu from rising again, this time he did not fulfill his promise but killed Buyangu, and the Yehebu perished, so that Nurhachi unified the Jurchen tribes and had no worries.
Just as Nurhachi had done when he had conquered the Jurchen tribes before, he moved the people of the Yehe tribe to Jianzhou, naturalized them and became subjects of the Later Jin.
It was through this continuous expansion and annexation that the Later Jin army was able to grow stronger in the war, and finally annexed all the areas outside the Guan, confronting the Ming army in front of Shanhaiguan.
It is worth mentioning that it is said that Buyangu, the leader of the Yehe tribe, swore to heaven before he died: "Even if there is only one woman left in I, Yehenara, I will destroy the Jianzhou Jurchen." ”
Therefore, it has been rumored among the people that the Yehenara clan and the Aixinjue Luo clan have been enemies for generations, and the concubines in the Qing court palace did not choose Yehe's ancestral system.
In fact, this is nonsense, although the Yehe Department has a grudge against the Jianzhou Ministry, the two sides also have a close connection because of their mutual marriage.
Throughout the Qing Dynasty, all emperors had concubines of the Yehenara clan, and Nalan Xingde, who was known as the first genius of the early Qing Dynasty, was after the Yehenara clan.
Moreover, many of Ye He's descendants were in important positions in the Qing court, such as Jin Taishi's son Delgrad, who was awarded the title of assistant and third-class baron; His younger brother Niyaha, conferred the rank of assistant commander and gave him the rank of lieutenant of the cavalry; Grandson Nan Chu, served as the commander of the Protector Army, and attacked the third-class baron.
As for Niyaha's son Mingzhu, he was a well-known minister during the Kangxi period.
The reason why there are rumors that Buyangu swore a poisonous oath on the verge of death may be related to the Empress Dowager Cixi, who believed that the Qing Dynasty was destroyed at the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who listened to the government, and the Empress Dowager Cixi's surname was Yehenara, and her conservatism and stubbornness hastened the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager Longyu, who eventually signed the abdication treaty of the Qing Emperor, was the niece of the Empress Dowager Cixi, also surnamed Yehenara.
Therefore, considering the grievances between Ye Hebu and Aixinjue Luo, the people naturally had the matter of Buyangu swearing to curse the Jianzhou Jurchens when he was dying.
Not only Buyangu's poisonous oath, perhaps because of the recent date, there are many rumors about the Qing Dynasty, the most famous of which is the succession of Emperor Yongzheng.
It is rumored that the reason why Emperor Yongzheng was able to ascend the throne was because he bribed the commander of the guards who passed on the decree and changed the "ten" character of Emperor Kangxi's edict of "Passing on the Throne to the Fourteenth Elder Brother" to the word "Yu", which made Emperor Yongzheng inherit the throne.
This rumor is very popular in the market, especially the change of "ten" to "yu" is an amazing finishing touch.
However, when you think about it, you will feel that this matter is very ridiculous, and the name of the prince does not appear on the edict, which is obviously deliberately avoided, because once the name appears, then this rumor will be self-defeating.
Besides, at that time, Emperor Yongzheng was already a prince, and the fourteenth elder brother was already the king of the county, how could he still use the title of "elder brother"?
"They're going to move out?"
Of course, it is impossible for Nurhachi to know now that his descendants will bring a lot of after-dinner conversation to future generations, and when he heard that Jintaishi and Buyangu had run away with the tribe, his heart was suddenly taken aback, and his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and he could not have imagined that such a thing would happen anyway.
Originally, in Nurhachi's opinion, it was important that he captured Kaiyuan and Tieling, so Yehebu would become a turtle in the urn, and he could annex it at any time, but now Yehebu actually ran away, and he was also taken care of by Emperor Ming, which made him a little incomprehensible for a while
"Why did they move out?"
Vaguely, Nurhachi felt that the relocation of Yehebu was not as simple as he had imagined, so he asked the messenger in a deep voice to know what had happened to cause Jintaishi and Buyangu to make such a crazy decision.
"Back to the Great Khan, it is not clear what exactly happened, only that they rushed to Ningyuan from the steppe through the territory of the Mongols this time!" The messenger shook his head, and Nurhachi's spies naturally wouldn't know that the Liaodong governor of the Ming Dynasty had gone to Yehebu.
"Great Khan, you can't let Yehebu escape, the minister is willing to lead the army to chase and eliminate Yehebu." At this time, the Great Beldaishan suddenly stood up and asked Nurhachi to fight in a deep voice, but he knew that Nurhachi had long wanted to destroy Yehebu.
"Great Khan, the ministers are also willing." Afterwards, Erbel Amin also stood up and said in a loud voice, "Great Khan, the men of the Yehebu must be moving slowly, and the ministers will definitely be able to capture them all." ”
