The Yalu River was called the Hun River in ancient times, the Han Dynasty was called Ma Zi Shui, and the Tang Dynasty was called the Yalu River (the Hun River was the Datong River in the Sui and Tang dynasties). Originally an inland river in China, it is now a boundary river between China and Chao Xian.

The name of the Yalu River is named after the language of the Manchu ancestors, which is called yaluula (pronunciation: Yalu Wula) in Manchu, and the Chinese pronunciation is "Yalu River", and its Manchu meaning is "border river". The word "yalu" in Manchu originally means "the edge of the land, the division of borders", which is completely consistent with the actual role of the Yalu River in terms of geographical location, while the word "ula" only means "river" in Manchu.

The Yalu River basin has been the settlement of the Manchu ancestors since ancient times, from the Liaojin period to the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were a large number of Jurchen tribes living along the river, and the word "Yalu" as the title of the tribe, known as the "Yalu River Department" in history, is one of the three departments of the Jurchen Changbai Mountain in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the northeastern neighbor of Goryeo, and later the Li Dynasty, the Xian Dynasty, vigorously expanded their territory northward, and by recruiting, exterminating, and driving out the Jurchen tribes, their territory continued to advance northward, until it reached the Yalu River and the Tumen River basin. In 1393, Zhu Yuanzhang gave up his request to set up Tielingwei in the former Yuan Dynasty's Shuangcheng Governor's Office; In 1403, Zhu Di agreed to cede the area north of Xianxing, which had belonged to China for generations, to Chao Xian; From 1416 to 1449, the Li Dynasty forcibly set up the "Four Counties in the Northwest" on the east bank of the Yalu River and the "Six Towns in the Northeast" in the south bank of the Tumen River.

…… Dividing line ......

In August, Shulhazy came to the Yalu River with 500 troops.

I don't know how many years have passed, and finally there is a team of Jianzhou Jurchen's own people to save themselves, and the people of the Yalu River come to greet them happily with the only food they have.

Looking at the people's dish-colored faces, skinny bodies, ragged clothes, and tattered eating utensils, Shulhaqi cried, and the black bear-like man knelt in front of the Yalu River tribesmen, holding the leading elder and weeping bitterly. The Yalu River belongs to the Jianzhou Jurchens, and as the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, they can't protect their own people, which is Shuerhaqi's incomparable shame! Those who come out to mix always have to pay it back, sticks, it's time for you to pay off your debts!

…… I'm the dividing line......

Li Dynasty * Xian Ping'an East Province Yongbian Dadu Hufu Jiangxi County (not the west of the Yangtze River, but the west of the Tumen River. ), a small village on the banks of the Yalu River. At noon, the villagers packed up their things and went back to the village to eat big food (lunch, at that time ordinary people still had two meals a day, big food and evening food. Pilgrimage is the prerogative of the two classes of doctors).

When I entered the house, I had just taken a sip of water, and before I could sit down, the food on the small table suddenly vibrate, and the vibration became stronger and stronger. Soon, there was a rumbling sound in the distance. "Jurchen horse thief!" Li Zheng is also an official person, and he still has some knowledge, so he reacted immediately, hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, and sounded the gong to warn.

Immediately the chickens and dogs jumped in the village, and the young people picked up the things at hand, such as dung forks, hoes, flat poles, everything, and hurried out of the village in a hurry, ready to resist; The old men reached to the bottom of the pot, grabbed a handful of ash from the bottom of the pot, smeared it on the girl's face, pushed the children into the haystack, and hid them; The old ladies are in a hurry to pack up the worthless belongings at home and look for places to collect them everywhere.

The young man's resistance was completely ineffective, and most of the Jurchen horse thieves were brought down by a round of arrows, and the rest were cut down by the horse thieves with the back of their knives and tied up. Subsequently, a large group of horse thieves stormed the village and plundered it.

The horse thieves seemed to be very experienced, and they were divided into several groups of people to act in groups, some blocked the entrance and exit of the village, some controlled the commanding heights and traffic arteries, some patrolled back and forth outside the village, and some covered each other to enter the house and search. Other than that, the horse thief didn't actually do anything he loved to do. After the horse thieves entered the village, only a few old hunters dared to resist, but immediately a few crossbow* arrows flew and brought down these blind, hot-blooded old men.

As soon as the time of the three pillars of incense arrived, a horn sounded outside the village, and some of the horse thieves immediately drove the captured men and women to the outside of the village, and the remaining horse thieves set fire to them. The trumpet sounded again, and all the horse thieves retreated out of the village, mounted their horses, and drove away from the north with men and women tied in long strings.

Within a day, more than a dozen villages were plundered by horse thieves, and the men and women of the village were either killed or taken captive, and their houses were set on fire.

The horse thieves are menacing, there are only dozens of township soldiers in the county, and it is not enough to hold the county, and they dare to take the initiative to attack! The county order, which was in a hurry, did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to the county for help.

A day later, a distress letter was sent to the county guard's yamen. The problem is that the county Shouzheng and a few of the same years are studying each other's poems and essays in the Spring Flower Pavilion, and by the way, they are discussing the philosophy of life with the women who have lost their footing, and the people left behind in the yamen dare not disturb the Yaxing of the adults. By the time the county guard returned to Yamen the next day, there had already been several letters asking for help.

Outrageous! The Jurchen barbarians, who don't know whether they are alive or dead, dare to violate my Dachao * Xian, and this is worth it. The county guard immediately ordered the pacification envoy to send troops to suppress the bandits! The pacification envoy did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered 500 soldiers, pulled up a hundred thieves to catch quickly, and set off to suppress the bandits.

When the army arrived in the county seat of Jiangxi, the officers and soldiers had to collect some fees from the county first, eat and drink well, and then leave for the Yalu River. If it weren't for the fact that many villages were looted by horse thieves in a row, the army would not have bothered to move. When I came to see it, the village had long been burned to the ground, and only the old men and children were left in the smoke and fire, stretching out their hands to ask for food from the passers-by, dying, but the Jurchen horse thieves did not know where to go.

The army had no choice but to go to the next village. Several villages in a row are like this. Near noon, the people were sleepy and tired, and the adults prepared to rest in the woods in front of them.

"Phew! I opened this road, and I planted this tree. If you pass through here, leave behind to buy money. Dare to say no, kill or bury! "A sturdy Jurchen man, riding a horse and holding a knife, stopped the stick army, and shouted the traditional call sign of the bandit world in a blunt court. Some of the robbers are repeating their old tricks.

"Haha...... "He still dares to rob the army, are the Jurchen barbarians crazy for money!"

"Hey! Leave it to buy road money! I'm going to get angry, and the consequences will be serious! (I don't even change the routine, hey~)" "Haha......" Everyone laughed even harder.

Joy and sorrow, the next thing is the same, the sniper kills the officer, and the array presses up. The stick army without officers, in the face of the rain of swords and guns and arrows falling from the sky, also had no will to resist and surrendered obediently.

Shulhaqi obeyed the staff officer Ezhen Xiao Baitu (newcomer, new official position, grand debut!) After the weapons were collected, each of these men and women was given a stick and let them manage the captured men and women. The stick army actually performed their duties conscientiously, and ambushed the captured men and women like wolves, and everyone did not dare to resist. Shulhazy sighed: What a bunch of mallets!

Since the official army of the dynasty * Xian was captured, it was natural to repeat the trick of deceiving the city gate, and the county seat of Jiangxi fell.

For a whole month, the entire Jiangxi County was turned upside down by the team led by Shuerhaqi. The Jurchen horse thieves who looted Jiangxi County to a foot high in the sky, after learning that the Yongbian Dadu Protectorate finally sent 2,000 reinforcements, reluctantly drove the captives, carried a large number of supplies, and returned to the north of the Yalu River to rest, ready to transfer to the * Ping'an West Road, and another round of looting.

The village of Chaoxian south of the Yalu River is burning.
