2018 East China Sea Jurchen
Allah of the East Sea (savage) refers to the Jurchens who are distributed in the "extreme east" and "far away" places, that is, the areas north of present-day Heilongjiang and east of the Ussuri River. According to the "Daming Huidian", in Jianzhou and Haixi Jurchen, "the extreme east is the wild woman straight, and the wild woman goes to China (Central Plains) far away, and the tribute is not common".
At the beginning of the 16th century, the three guards of Jianzhou had been established, and the four tribes of Hulun had also been formed, and each had formed a solid alliance group, with its own geographical scope, so the Jurchens outside their area were all called the Jurchens of the East China Sea (savages). Its meaning is that because this part of the Jurchens is relatively backward in terms of social economy and culture, they live in "far away" places, and they "do not pay tribute" to the Ming Dynasty, hence the name. In fact, the savage Jurchen lived near the coast of the East China Sea, and should be renamed the "East China Sea" Jurchen. The Jurchen savages refer to the social, economically and culturally backward part of the Jurchens, which overlaps with the scope of the savage Jurchens.
In the original history, in the early days of the rise of Nuer Hachi, because Jianzhou was surrounded by Chao Xian, Yehe, Ming Dynasty, and Ula in the east, west, south and north respectively, the Jurchens of the East China Sea were only conquered in the Tumen River basin. In the battle of Wujieyan, after Jianzhou defeated Wula, it opened a road from the north into the coastal area of the Ussuri River basin, and then carried out many conquests against the Jurchen Huerha, Sakhalian, Salhacha, Envoy Dog, Envoy Lu, Sauron and other departments in Heilongjiang, and made quite a success. In the tenth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1626), Nuer Hachi generally controlled the Jurchen tribes, laying the foundation for the later Emperor Taiji to finally complete the conquest of the savage Jurchens.
Nuer Hachi attaches great importance to the savage Jurchen, who is the same clan as Jianzhou, and focuses on caressing. Due to the environment in which the Jurchens lived, the tribesmen were brave, strong, resistant to hunger and cold, and skilled in bows and horses. For the Jurchens to vote for the leaders, Nuer Hachi was treated as preferentially as possible; The Jurchen tribesmen who had just migrated also helped them in their lives, and those who did not want to stay in Jianzhou were also given property to order them to return, so the Jurchen tribes admired many people. For those who resisted, Nuerhachi ruthlessly used the means of war to kill those who resisted.
Although the time and space are different, in view of the super combat ability of the Donghai Jurchens, Li Sicheng and Kim Jung-ho proposed to Nuer Hachi the methods he adopted against the Donghai Jurchens in the previous history. After nearly a year of conquest and suppression, there was finally a rich harvest.
…… Dividing line ......
Shen Yiqian doesn't know if his situation is good or bad now. Back in Hanyang, the Dongren Party did not kill him, and reached a rare agreement with his Westerner Party to make him the representative of Chao Xian in Liaoning. Of course, due to the implementation of the peace treaty that humiliated the country, Shen Yiqian was demoted to the senator of Licao, who was the third grade. What he didn't know was that everyone else regarded the mission stationed in Liaoning as a dead end, and they all regarded him as a dead man.
Chao Xian proposed to send envoys to Liaoning, and the bigwigs in Liaoning finally decided to let the envoys stay in Yizhou, after all, there are many secrets that cannot be known to the outside world. Shen Yiqian also arrived in Yiju in July, following the tributary mission.
If Pyongan Province is a big battlefield, Pyongyang is a big military camp, passing through Gyeonggwan and entering Uiju is a different scene. The road is wide and smooth, and the road is full of traffic; The fields are full of acres, and the crops are growing gratifyingly; The village stands according to the danger, the vigilance is tight, the city is tall and majestic, and the market is prosperous and lively.
After all, Shen Yiqian is the former Grand Sixian Li Er, and the people who value protection are still of some level, and he quickly saw some way. The border is heavily guarded, and every traffic artery is guarded by village fortifications, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After crossing the border, the road was straight, and vehicles and pedestrians went their own way, and it took only two days to get from the border to Uiju City. The ravines are so deep that they are difficult to cross, and they can only be accessed by road. There are still many roads and fortifications under construction along the way. This is simply for the preparation of the war!
Another problem is that among the people he met, he found a lot of Chao Xian people. These Chao Xian people are dressed plainly, but they are not tattered, their faces are a little ruddy, and their spirits are sufficient. However, these Chao Xian people did not have any respect or fear towards him, but instead had a look of not taking him in their eyes, and their inquiries about him were also ignored. Shen Yiqian's entourage wanted to put on a posture to reprimand, and they directly said: We are the people of the Heavenly Empire, are you petty officials of foreign domains qualified to put up a fight in front of us?!
Entering the city, the market is lively, and the people of all ethnic groups shuttle among them, calling for buying and selling, in an orderly manner. There are Jurchens dressed in Ming costumes and wearing pigs' tails; There are Han people dressed in Jurchen costumes and tied in buns; There are women (medical women) who wear official uniforms of the Ming Kingdom and speak the words of the court; There are even those who wear pre-Song costumes (Hanfu made up by a certain traveler) and swagger around. It's just that no one shows respect for them, and even many people look down on them. There are also officers and soldiers in leather armor patrolling back and forth to maintain order.
There are abundant goods on the market, such as iron pots, glass, ceramics, cloth, grain, jerky, medicinal herbs, furs, and even crystal and spiritual porcelain vessels, which are extremely precious in the court, as well as iron tools. Restaurants and inns are also interspersed among them, and there are not a few.
The streets are neat and clean, garbage is piled up centrally, and sewage flows into the culverts. Newly built homes abound.
When they arrived at the city of Yiju, the tributary mission turned to the port of Yizhou, and Shen Yiqian's people who stayed in Yizhou entered the city to report for duty. The market is even more lively, and there are many street performers performing their arts, but it does not hinder traffic. Looking at all this, Shen Yiqian's head was a little overwhelmed, compared with Yizhou, Hanyang is much worse, the problem is that Liaoning talents have taken over here for more than a year!
"Boom! Boom! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! There was a flurry of gongs and shouts. The people on the street hurriedly walked to both sides to get out of the way, and the sergeants patrolling the street stood on both sides, separating the crowd.
Shen Yiqian thought it was an official from Liaoning, so he hurriedly cleaned up his clothes and prepared to meet him. Unexpectedly, it was actually an army! Each one was dressed in leather armor, with a burly figure on his back and a hideous face, with a money rat tail dragging behind his head. One dragged two horses, one of which was carrying a steel helmet and a great axe, and the other had a saddle on it, and some baggage hung on both sides, which was supposed to be used for riding. What is rare is that although this group of Jurchen armored soldiers is large in number and rude in appearance, the formation is generally neat and there is no confusion. (Your own family is being guarded under the knife, do you dare to be disobedient?!) )
This Liaoning is still increasing troops to the border?! Shen Yiqian was shocked! Hurriedly sent his men to inquire. Unexpectedly, it was too difficult to inquire about the news, not because others were on guard, but because others didn't bother to talk to them.
After several ridicules and humiliations, Shen Yiqian's subordinates finally inquired: these are the newly recruited Jurchen tribes of the East China Sea in Liaoning, and the recruited warriors and armor have already gathered more than a thousand in Yizhou! I think there has been a big move recently.
Shen Yiqian is still loyal and patriotic, and without further ado, he immediately went to the Yamen of Yizhou to protest to the Liaoning side!
Fortunately, they were met by the Liaoning Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, who was the third product left to participate in politics Li Sicheng Li, and it is said that the ancestor of Li Daren is a member of the attached dynasty, so it should be easier to speak.
Master Li is young and powerful, and he is also approachable; Although the face is not beaten, it is not too disgusting. Everyone saw the ceremony, sat down the guests, served tea, and Shen Yiqian directly said what he meant.
Master Li did not hesitate and said: You Chao Xian, have you solved the rebellion near Hanyang now? You don't have to go back, everyone knows that if you can solve it, there will be no peace talks. What we are doing in Liaoning now is to help you solve the problem. With our armor soldiers in charge, those rebellious troops dare to be disobedient?! We still have surplus grain in Liaoning, which you can buy with money, and you can also arrange for laborers to come and work, and use the grain to settle the payment. You can report back to Hanyang and let them decide.
……
Hanyang agreed, and under the control of the Jurchen armor soldiers in the East China Sea, the rebellious soldiers were quickly resolved; A large number of young people were sent to Liaoning to work, which also temporarily solved the problem of food shortage.
The problem only appeared many years later, and the army of Chao Xian did not dare to confront the Liaoning army at all; Many of the young people who went north to work stayed and took the status of a citizen of the Heavenly Empire, and they did not return to the court.
