Chapter 235

Aixin Jueluo Murhaqi, the son of Emperor Takshi of Emperor Xuan of the Qing Dynasty, and the half-brother of the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, was born in the 40th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1561), and his biological mother was the daughter of Guruli - the imperial concubine Li Jiashi. Murhaqi was one of the founding fathers of the Qing Dynasty and made great contributions to the early development of the Manchu regime.

Takshi had five sons, the eldest son of the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, the second son of Murhaqi, the third son Shulhaqi, the fourth son Yarhachi, and the fifth son Bayara, all of whom were called Baylor at that time.

"Baylor" is a Manchu language, a title for the Manchu aristocracy in the early Qing Dynasty, whose position is equivalent to that of the later prince, and holds military and political power. After Taizu Nurhachi raised his army, Murhaqi accompanied the expedition many times, and his achievements were outstanding, and he was given the name Qing Batulu (Chinese translation as "Chengyi"). Later, in June of the fifth year of Shunzhi, he was posthumously awarded the title of Dorobelle, and he was called "brave and strong".

Murhaqi was brave and brave, brave and good at fighting, and when he was young, whenever he encountered a fight, he would come to it in person. In the early days of his brother Nurhachi's army, the people in the clan rebelled and left, and the descendants of the six ancestors successively harmed Nurhachi, putting him in danger and Chu Ge on all sides. At this time, Murhaqi ignored the dissuasion of his clan and followed his brother Nurhachi to start a business together in the face of treacherous adversity.

In April of the 11th year of Wanli (1583), Nurhachi raised an army with thirteen pieces of armor, because it was the beginning of the army, the army was weak, and he could only rely on the fathers and sons in the family to unite as one, bravely kill the enemy in order to survive, and charge into battle, in order to be invincible. It is precisely because of the courage and tenacity of the brothers of the Aixin Jueluo family in the battle that the power of the family has been continuously expanded and has become an important armed force in Liaodong. As a prominent member of the family, Murhazi has been known as a warrior since childhood. As stated in the "Qing History Manuscript", he was "brave and good at fighting, and every time he was the first to go into battle", he made great contributions to the rise of the Aixin Jueluo family.

At the beginning of the Nurhachi brothers' army, they were stationed in the mountain city of Beibei, and due to the steep military defense conditions of the mountain city, they successfully prevented foreign forces from killing them many times. However, the external transportation conditions of the mountain city brought a lot of inconvenience to Nurhachi's expedition. At this time, the descendants of the six ancestors are all enemies of the Nurhachi brothers, whenever Nurhachi and the Murhaqi brothers lead the crowd forward, even if the descendants of the six ancestors do not interfere with the advance of their troops, they will notify the other party of the target of the Nurhachi brothers' attack, so that they have returned from many expeditions in vain.

In April of the eleventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1583), Murhachi accompanied the Taizu Nurhachi to conquer the Zhechen Department, because it was just starting the army, there were very few people and horses, only led 500 troops, on the way out, encountered a big water to block the way, Nurhachi decided to let the brigade return to the camp, only with 50 cotton armor soldiers, 30 iron armor soldiers, a total of 80 people. Who knew that the leader of the Jiaha tribe, Suku, secretly sent someone to secretly inform the lord of the Zhechen tribe, so that the enemy army had a guard, and gathered more than 800 people from the five cities of Tuomohe, Zhangjia, Barda, Salhu, and Jiefan, and flocked to the area, wanting to fight to the death with the Nurhachi brothers, and deployed troops in the area of the Jiefan, the Hunhe River and the Nanshan, and the momentum was violent, and the battle was ready for it.

In advance, Nurhachi had arranged for the sentry to search, but after the sentry found the enemy, in a hurry, he lost his way and failed to find Nurhachi's men and horses in time; When hundreds of enemy troops suddenly appeared in front of them, as if they had fallen from the sky, they were taken by surprise, which greatly shook the hearts of the soldiers led by Nurhachi, and the soldiers were suddenly cowardly and frightened, and did not dare to engage the enemy. When the six ancestors saw that the enemy soldiers were strong, they were so frightened that they took off their armor and handed them over to the servants, preparing to flee along the mountain road, and the army was in turmoil for a while.

Seeing this, Nurhachi was furious, and rebuked the two of them in a loud voice: "You used to be at home, and every time you claimed to be a leader in the clan, but now you see enemy soldiers, why do you discourage yourself and disarm others?" (Manchurian Records, vol. 2). Although Nurhachi angrily reprimanded his brothers, but did not see any effect, these two still did not listen to the order, and the soldiers did not dare to meet the enemy, at this critical juncture, if no one stepped forward to fight, it would inevitably collapse the morale of the army, and the whole army would be destroyed. Although Nurhachi wanted to command the crowd to rush and meet the enemy, his subordinates were in a mess and did not listen to orders at all. Nurhachi, who couldn't stop his subordinates, had to fight for his life and urged his horse to meet the enemy, with only Murhaqi, Yan Bulu and Wulinga around him.

The four quietly followed behind the enemy in a large group, looking for an opportunity to strike at the enemy. As they followed to Jilin Cliff, the four noticed fifteen enemies approaching them from a side path. Nurhachi and the others took off their hats and hid them. As the enemy approached, Nurhachi fired an arrow that killed the enemy soldier who was walking in the front, and Murhazi fired another arrow that killed another enemy soldier. The rest of the enemy soldiers did not know how many ambushes there were, so they hurriedly fled, and they all rolled down the Jilin Cliff and fell to their deaths. Nurhachi and Murhaqi abandoned their horses and bowed down, quietly approached the enemy's brigade, and suddenly launched an attack, a burst of slashing, the enemy's brigade immediately became chaotic, and the men and horses of the various cities that did not belong to each other rushed to flee for their lives. The Nurhachi brothers "four of them bravely shot and went straight into the encirclement", killed more than 20 enemies, and chased the enemy to cross the Hun River and flee for their lives.

Murhaqi followed Nurhachi across the river to Jilin Cliff, and found that the enemy had gathered again to kill, Nurhachi wittily took off his hat to lure the enemy into stealth, and opened his bow to shoot an arrow at the enemy in front, and the sharp arrow pierced the ridge to make him fall to the ground and die. Murhazy also shot one dead. After a period of fighting, the enemy surrendered, and the rest fled or fell off a cliff to their deaths. In this battle, which turned from passive to active, the brothers Nurhachi and Murhaqi repelled the attack of more than 800 enemies with four people, turning the tide of the battle. After the battle, Nurhachi said with emotion in response to this battle: "Today's battle defeated 800 people with four people, God help me." (See "Qing Historical Manuscript: Taizu Benji"). Later, in 1616, when Nurhachi established the Houjin Kingdom in Hetuara and became emperor, he set the name of the era as the "Mandate of Heaven", which some historians claim to have originated from.

In order to eliminate hostile forces from within the clan, Murhaqi strongly advocated the subjugation of Zhangjia City, which was occupied by the descendants of the Sixth Patriarch Baoshi. At his suggestion, Nurhachi and his followers captured Zhangjia City in one fell swoop with a surprise attack strategy, taking the people in the city back to their own, sweeping away the obstacles in front of his own gate, and shocking the descendants of the three ancestors Suo Chang'a.

In July of the 14th year of Wanli, Murhaqi and his brother Nurhachi, together with his brother Nurhachi, led the army to capture the city of Tuomohe of the Zhechen Department who had led his troops to intercept and kill him, captured people and animals, and returned. Then he waved his army to conquer the city of Erhun. On the way to the city of Erhun, Murhaqi opened the road first, Nurhachi pressed the formation behind, and everywhere he passed along the way, he was the enemy, and Murhaqi led his troops to fight along the way, and then came to the city of Erhun. During the attack on the city of Erhun, Nurha was shot in the shoulder and wounded in more than 30 places on his body, unable to command the battle. At the critical moment, Murhaqi stepped forward and commanded on behalf of his brother, and won the victory in the attack on Erhun City.

When Nurhachi's ruling power gradually grew, Murhaqi led his troops to conquer many times, and he must be the first soldier in every battle, and successively went to conquer the Yalu River, Nayin, Zhusheli and other tribes. In recognition of Murhaqi's exploits, Nurhachi bestowed on him the title of Qingbaturu, which translates into Chinese as a warrior of sincerity and perseverance. It can be seen that Murhaqi was deeply respected and loved by his brother Nurhachi for his loyalty, fortitude and courage in following his brother Nurhachi to start a business.

In August of the fifteenth year of Wanli, Murhaqi and the general Eyidu led the troops to attack the city of Barda, when the army marched to the Hunhe River, it was the flood season, the river swelled, and the army could not cross, and the subordinates all persuaded Murhaqi and Eyidu to lead the troops back to return to their lives. Murhaqi admonished his subordinates, "Ordered to go on the expedition, can An Neng return to Ye without a fight?" "With the order, the good swimmer water and soil pawns, Gongsuo swam crossing, connecting the ropes to the solid trees on both banks, and the brigade of soldiers crossed the Hun River with the help of the ropes. The defenders of the city of Barda thought that the Hunhe River had swelled and formed a natural barrier, and the army horses led by Murhaqi, even if they had great skills, would not cross the Hunhe River and come to attack the city. As a result, the military defenses of the whole city were relaxed.

Murhaqi and Eyidu, who led their troops across the Hunhe River, decided to hide their troops and attack at night when the enemy was unprepared. That night, Murhaqi and Eyidu issued an order to siege the city, and the soldiers of the department bravely attacked it. The defenders of the city woke up from their sleep, and the soldiers did not have time to put on armor and weapons and refuse to fight with the siege soldiers, and the two armies fought, and the arrows and stones were like locusts, and they were the first to climb the city, and they were wounded in more than 50 places, and the command of the troops fell on Murhaqi alone. At the most intense moment of the battle between the two sides, Murhaqi personally led his soldiers to fight, and was wounded in many places, but he still led the people to fight, and finally conquered the city of Barda and returned triumphantly. When Murhaqi led the army back, his brother Nurhachi went out of the city to greet him, set up a banquet to comfort the whole army, and rewarded Murhaqi and Eyidu.

On the eve of the world-famous Battle of Gule Mountain, Nurhachi, who was known for his talent for military command, was helpless in the face of nine coalition forces ten times his size. Among his own troops, the soldiers are few and outnumbered, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and no matter how they are deployed, it is not enough to compete with the enemy soldiers. At this time, the brave and warlike Murhaqi proposed to his brother that he should lead a group of elite soldiers to ambush behind Gule Mountain, and when the enemy brigade arrived, there were many people, and they would inevitably choose to form a formation in the open field of Gule Mountain in front of Gule Mountain, taking advantage of the unstable formation of the enemy's formation. He led his elite troops to assault, using the tactic of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, disrupting the enemy's position, and then commanding the whole line by Nurhachi, which could defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop.

Nurhachi took the advice of his younger brother Murhaqi and ordered him to lead a group of elite cavalry to quietly ambush behind Gul Mountain, looking for fighters. After the arrival of the Nine-Division Alliance, Yehebu Beleb Village, as the commander of the Nine-Division Alliance, ordered the army to besiege the city of Gule. In the city, the rolling wood and thunder stones were all down, and the two armies fought fiercely, and the sound of killing was loud. When the two sides were fighting fiercely, Murhaqi led the cavalry to rush out like a lightning speed, and directly rushed into the siege team of the Nine Coalition Army. Before he could get up, he was hacked to death by the cavalry who rushed over. As soon as the Nine Coalition Forces saw that the commander of the unified army had been killed, the whole team immediately panicked and scrambled to flee for their lives. Nurhachi commanded the soldiers of the brigade to turn the defense into an attack, defeated the nine allied forces, and captured Buzhantai of the Urabu alive. Achieved a complete victory in the Battle of Gule Mountain.

Because in the early days of the business, Murhaqi, who was brave and good at fighting, must fight in every battle, and take the lead in the battle, resulting in many physical injuries. Later, with the plague of injuries and illness, he was unable to enlist, and was raised at home, and died of illness at the age of 60 at the age of 60 in September of the fifth year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate (1620).

After Erhachi died of illness, Nurhachi personally sacrificed and buried him. Murhachi was buried in Haotuala of Hulan Hada (now Laocheng Village, Yongling Town, Xinbin County, Liaoning Province). On April 1, the ninth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1624), he was buried in the Tokyo Mausoleum in Yanglushan Gang (also known as Rock Furnace Mountain) in the northeast of Liaoyang City. At the same time, the burial people are: "Emperor Jingzuyi and Empress", "Emperor and Empress Xianzu Xuan", Empress Xiaoci Gao (Emperor Taizong's biological mother), Lidun Baturu (Taizu's uncle), Darhan Baturu (Taizu's brother Shuerhaqi), Bel Huerhaqi (Taizu's nephew), Chu Ying (Taizu's eldest son) and other spirits.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, Shunzhi was ten years old, and Fu Lin issued an edict to posthumously seal him.
