Liaoyang City, the capital city of Jinguo, in the octagonal dragon hall in Tokyo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nurhachi, the Great Khan of the Kingdom of Jin, wore a yellow robe, held a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth, and his eyes were half-closed and half-open, leaning lazily on the sweat seat covered with white tiger skin.

Sanbeile Manggultai was expressionless, and stood below with a heavy heart, and his already pale and bloodless face was tinged with a faint green aura. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Father Khan, the annual festival of the old camp Guandi Temple is about to begin, and the Mongols have sent a group of masters such as the national teacher Sha'er Hutu Ketu Grand Lama to plot Kangyur, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let Erchen lead the elite of the Fifth Banner Team to Xingjing!"

Hetuara was the first capital of the Jin Kingdom, and when Nurhachi established the Jin Kingdom, it was renamed "Xingjing".

Erbeile Amin on the side said lightly: "Mang Gurtai, the Great Khan has planned and has already planned the situation in Hetuala, so you don't have to participate anymore!"

Mang Gurtai glanced at Amin coldly and said, "Previously, the Yellow Sect on the Mongolian side secretly revealed to us the news that the Great Lama Shahr led people to come to snatch the Bible, and my father had indeed made arrangements a long time ago. But now the situation has changed, there are Ming Jinyi Wei masters in Liaoyang, and several masked strong enemies of unknown origin have emerged in Baitabao, and even the Donglu Tu Master of the Baishan Sect has been poisoned, all of which are by no means a single incident, and it is likely to be related to Xingjing and the Kangyur Bible. I'm worried ... ”

Amin interrupted Mang Gultai's words with a smile and said, "Are you worried that the two national teachers are not safe to sit in Xingjing? I think you are a little worried!"

"I'm worried, I said you have bad intentions!" said Mang Gurtai glared at Amin and said.

Amin smiled, and was about to sneer at each other, but saw Nurhachi on the sweat seat straighten up, and knocked the dry tobacco stick in his hand on the leg of the big case in front of him at will, and the small sound suddenly made him shut up and lowered his head.

Nurhachi coughed a few times, his eyes were shining, and he raised his eyes to stare at Mang Gurtai and said: "Mang Gurtai, you are becoming more and more disagreeable, Amin is your cousin, and also the second Belle of my Dajin Kingdom, how can you talk nonsense and be so rude to him?!"

Mang Gurtai snorted and lowered his head silently.

Nurhachi scolded: "You four great beylers are all the ministers of the humerus and the pillars of my Dajin Kingdom, and you should work together as brothers to help Ben Khan revitalize the Jurchen clan!

Mang Gurtai saw that Nurhachi was really angry, so he reluctantly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Amin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Don't blame Sambel, the Great Khan is just a momentary reckless, and he doesn't mean anything else." Amin is also wrong, please punish the Great Khan!"

Nurhachi sighed and said to Mang Gultai: "If you have half of Amin's bearing and calmness, Ben Khan will ask God to worship Buddha!!"

Amin said: "Mang Gurtai is actually thinking about my Dajin Foundation, and he is just worried about the safety of Xingjing, although he is a little anxious, but it is also understandable!"

Nurhachi waved his hand and said, "Alright, you both get up!"

After Amin and Mang Gultai got up, Nurhachi slowly reloaded the tobacco in the dry pipe, lit it with flint, and took two puffs before saying in a deep voice: "Over there in Xingjing, there are two national teachers who are in the same place, and they are well planned, and I also have a wonderful situation, even if the master of the Ming Jinyi Guard also participates, it can also ensure that nothing goes wrong." You don't have to worry about it anymore!"

Mang Gurtai let out a low "chirp" and took his leave.

After Mang Gurtai left, Amin said to Nurha: "Amin opposes Sanbeile leading the elite of the Fifth Banner Team to reinforce Xingjing, because he is worried that the Ming Jinyi guard master who appeared in Liaoyang City will attack Tokyo City and endanger the safety of the Great Khan. In Amin's mind, the top priority of our Dajin Kingdom is to ensure your safety!

Nurhachi laughed and said, "Amin, although you are the son of Wu Di, I have always regarded you as my own. You just have to show all your talents and serve the revitalization of my Jurchen race, and you don't have to be cautious, and you don't mind the nonsense of the reckless Gurtai. I have absolute trust in you!"

When Amin heard this, he was moved to tears, knelt down and kowtowed three times before he said goodbye.

Nurhachi looked at Amin's back and took a deep breath of his cigarette, the white smoke that came out of it blurred his thoughtful face.

Amin is the second son of Nurhachi's brother Shulhaqi.

Aisin Jueluo Shulhaqi is the third son of Aisin Jueluo Takshi and the younger brother of Nurhachi. In the forty-third year of Jiajing (1564), Shuerhaqi was born in Liaodong. His father, Tucker, was the commander. Her mother is the eldest daughter of Wang Gao, the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou. When Shulhazi was 5 years old, his biological mother unfortunately died, and the family affairs began to be presided over by his stepmother, Nara. The stepmother was mean and cold to the Shulhazy brothers. Shuerhaqi, who was just five or six years old, followed his brother Nurhachi to the deep mountains and forests, collecting pine nuts, fungus, mushrooms, and hunting wild fowl, and then sending these mountain goods to the horse market in Fushun to sell them to supplement the family. However, their rush and toiling did not earn the slightest mercy from their stepmother. Helplessly, when he was ten years old, Shuerhaqi left home with his brother and lived under his maternal grandfather Wang Gao.

In the second year of Wanli (1574), when Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, led the army to break through Wang Gao's Gule Village, Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi were both captured and used as young soldiers to fight with the army. Every time they fought, the Ming army let the Jurchen captives take the lead and rush into the opponent's sword array. After a few battles, most of the Jurchen captives were killed, but only the Nurhachi brothers survived and developed a strong physique and exquisite martial arts.

In the 11th year of Wanli (1583), Shulhaqi's grandfather and father died in the chaos of the Ming Dynasty. Grief-stricken, Shulhaqi and his brother Nurhachi left the Ming army together and returned home.

After that, the two decided to avenge their dead relatives, relying on the thirteen pairs of armor left by their grandfather, raising a team of more than 100 people, and began the great cause of creating Houjin. During his entrepreneurial years, Shulhazi became the right-hand man and main fighter of his brother Nurhachi.

In August of the 23rd year of Wanli (1595), Shulhaqi led the Jianzhou Jurchen tributary delegation to Beijing for the first time, and this experience opened his eyes. He was dissatisfied with his subordinate position to his brother, and he hoped to one day become the supreme ruler of the Jianzhou Jurchens. At the same time, he developed a strong interest in the advanced agricultural civilization and culture of the Ming Dynasty.

In July of the 25th year of Wanli (1597), Shulhaqi went to Beijing for the second time to pay tribute, and this experience fueled his ambitions. After arriving in Beijing, he was warmly and ceremoniously received by the Ming court, and was rewarded with rich gifts such as gold, silver, and satin. At the same time, the Ming court also granted him the high-ranking military position of command. The Ming Dynasty used this as a strategic countermeasure, trying its best to win over and buy Nurhachi's opponents and opponents, and stir up sow discord between the two in order to intensify the contradictions between them. For this reason, Shulhaqi was indeed grateful for the favor of the Ming Dynasty, he was grateful to the Ming Dynasty, and his political attitude became more and more inclined to the Ming Dynasty. In addition to his active close relationship with the Ming Dynasty, Shulhaqi also strengthened his ties with various other Jurchen tribes through political marriages in order to expand his personal power and influence. In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli (1596) he married the sister of Beyl Buzhantai of the Ula tribe, and the following year he married his daughter Eshitai to Buzhantai. Shulhazi also maintained a fairly close relationship with the DPRK, and the DPRK envoy went to Jianju to perform the same etiquette for Nurhachi and Shulhaqi to meet and give the same gifts to both of them. The two of them also slaughtered pigs and sheep separately, and each entertained the Korean envoys in their tents and gave gifts in return. The Joseon king was also willing to maneuver between the two Jianju chiefs and impose the principle of double recognition on them, in the same way that the Ming dynasty did.

With the unification of the Jurchen tribes, Nurhachi had enough strength to confront the Ming Dynasty, and his hostile attitude towards the Ming Dynasty became increasingly obvious, and his subordinates often engaged in armed conflicts with the Ming army. The Ming Dynasty was disturbed by the situation in Liaodong. In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), the Ming court used Li Chengliang, the former general of Liaodong, who had been deposed, in the hope that he could reverse the bad situation at that time. At the beginning of his tenure, Li Chengliang adopted the original policy of dividing and disintegrating the Jurchen ministries. He took advantage of the contradiction between Shulhazy and his brother, vigorously wooed him, and was very kind to him, especially high. Li Chengliang asked his son Li Rubai to marry Shuerhaqi's daughter as a concubine, which made the relationship between the two parties closer. In the thirty-third year of Wanli (1605), Shuerhaqi's wife died of illness, and Li Chengliang and his son prepared a rich sacrifice to go to the funeral, which was very grand. In the face of the favor of the Ming Dynasty, Shulhaqi was even more grateful, and he was determined to rely on the Ming Dynasty as a backstage to establish his position as the supreme leader of the Jurchens.

Shulhachi's blatant assertion of personal authority gradually challenged Nurhachi's position, and the relationship between the two became increasingly strained, and the two often quarreled over disagreements at meetings attended by Zhubel, and Nurhachi began to try to eliminate him as a potential adversary.

In March of the 35th year of Wanli (1607), a small Jurchen tribe living in the city of Shuyou, unable to endure the slavery of the neighboring Ula tribe, wanted to attach themselves to Nurhachi. Nurhachi sent Shulhaqi and his sons Chu Ying and Dai Shan, and the generals Fei Yingdong, Yanguli, Chang Shu, and Hu Erhan led 3,000 troops to Shuyou City to collect the department. When Shulhaqi and the others were halfway through, he was full of suspicion and told his fellow generals that he saw a faint glow on the handsome banner and wanted to retreat. However, under the opposition of Chu Ying and Dai Shan, they could only give up. After arriving at the city, the tribe's chieftain Tsemuthei's 500 families were ready to set off, and the team soon set out on the way back.

When Urabeleb Zhantai heard the news, he immediately led 10,000 cavalry to intercept the attack, and the armies of both sides put on a fighting position. But at this time, Shulhazy retreated to the side with his five hundred men, and he did not want to destroy the friendly relations with his in-laws. Only Chu Ying and Dai Shan led the army to fight bravely, Shulhaqi only watched from the side, and his subordinates Chang Shu and Naqib did not join the battle. It was precisely because of Shulhaqi's passive retreat that in the end, although Chu Ying and Dai Shan defeated the Ula cavalry, they failed to deal a fatal blow.

After Shulhaqi's division returned to the court, Nurhachi prepared to execute his subordinates Changshu and Naqib on charges of desertion, in order to cut off his right-hand man and set an example for the monkey. But Shulhaqi's reaction was very strong, saying that killing them was equivalent to killing me, and he vowed not to bow his head, and he had the position to fight to the death. In the end, Nurhachi made concessions in order to avoid an open conflict. He fined Chang Shu only one hundred taels of gold, seized Nazib's men, and henceforth deprived Shulhazi of the right to command the army, pushing him out of the top military leadership.

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607), Shulhaqi's status plummeted, and he became a nominal figure, and he felt that he and Nurhachi could not coexist. So, he consulted with his eldest son, Altuna, and his third son, Zasaktu, and plotted to set up another door to fight against his brother.

So Shulhaqi took a few sons and a few subordinates to Heitumu, southeast of Tieling, where he cut down wood to build houses and open up new bases. And Hei Tuomu is close to Tieling, an important military town of the Ming Dynasty, and can directly rely on the military protection of the Ming Dynasty, and is adjacent to the Ula tribe to the east, so he can get the assistance of allies at any time.

Shulhaqi began to become more and more estranged from Nurhachi, and moved closer to the Ming Dynasty. Li Chengliang saw this great opportunity to divide the female truth, so he added fuel to the fire and deliberately provoked contradictions. He canonized Shuerhaqi as the head of the right guard of Jianzhou, which was the highest local military governor established by the Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong region.

Nurhachi naturally could not tolerate this behavior of his younger brother, first ordered Shulhaqi to give up the idea of establishing himself as king, and when the persuasion failed, he resolutely took tough measures, and in March of the 37th year of Wanli (1609), Shulhaqi's two sons, Artuna and Zasaktu, were killed by Nurhachi, and the general Wuerkun was also executed. Nurhachi was still angry, and still planned to put his second son Amin to death, but it was only under the extreme efforts of Huang Taiji and others that Amin escaped death and saved him from death, but half of his family property was confiscated.

In the face of his brother's aggressive posture, Shulhazy lost the courage to continue the struggle. He knew that his strength was far inferior to that of his brother, and the backer he was counting on, the Ming army stationed in Liaodong, was also in a precarious situation, and he was not Nurhachi's opponent at all. In a desperate situation, Shulhazy returned to his brother's tent. This time, however, Nurhachi no longer spoke of brotherhood to him, and Shulhachi was imprisoned in a dark room, locked with iron locks, with only two holes to bring him food. On August 19, 1611, Shulhaqi died in captivity at the age of forty-eight.

It is also rumored that Shulhazi was actually secretly assassinated by his brother Nurhachi.

After Shulhaqi was claustrophobic, Nurhachi treated the mild-tempered and unambitious Amin very much and kindly, and when he ascended the throne as Khan in the 44th year of Wanli (1616), he was canonized as the "Four Great Beylers" together with his own sons and daughters Daishan, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji, and treated him like a parent on weekdays, and did not anger him at all because of his father Shulhaqi's affairs.

And Amin has always been loyal to Nurhachi, and there is no problem between the two, and their relationship has become a great talk among the ministers of the Jin State.

Amin walked out of the Octagonal Dragon Palace, stood on the steps and looked up at the blue sky, and said secretly in his heart: "In this way, Xingjing is afraid that it will not be too smooth!"
