Chapter 1021 Yehe's son-in-law
During the time between the memorials in the Ming Dynasty, things happened in Liaodong. The most important thing was that the Nurhachi brothers passed through the jurisdiction of the Hada tribe and arrived in the Yehe tribe. They were warmly welcomed by the two Baylors of Yehe—especially It is "Xicheng Baylor" Qing Jiani who attaches great importance to Nurhachi.

Baylor is the leader of the Jurchen tribe. Generally speaking, one Baylor is more common, and the Yehe tribe is more interesting. It has two Baylors—the two Baylors of the Yehe tribe are brothers. Each built a city, one east and one west.

Therefore, Yang Ji Ni (also known as Yang Ji Ni) who built the city in the east was called "Beile of the East City", while Qing Jia Ni who built the city in the west was called "Beile of the West City".

The Yehe tribe is the most influential one among the Haixi Jurchens, and it played a huge role even during the entire Qing Dynasty.Regarding the origin of the Yehe tribe, there are usually two theories: Mongolian and Jurchen.

Yehe's main lineage is as follows:
Xinggen Darhan-Xilkeminggatu-Qilgani-Chukongge-Taizhu-Qingjia Niu (West City)/Yang Ji Niu (East City)-Buzhai (West City)/Nalin Bulu (East City)-Bu Yanggu (West City)/Jintaishi (Nalin Buludi, East City).

Then Yehe tribe died-Niyaha-(Nalan) Pearl-(Nalan) Xingde.The latter two have a very high appearance rate in Qing palace dramas, so I don't think they need much introduction.

In the era of Xinggen Darhan, he accepted the post of Tarumwei Commander of Ming Chengzu and led his troops to Kaiyuan North.In the 20th year of Chenghua (1484), the third ancestor, Qiergani, succeeded him as the commander of the capital of Haixi Tarumwei, and began to pay tribute to Beijing frequently, constantly learning about the prosperity of Ming Dynasty.

However, the Yehe tribe and even the entire Jurchen at that time, due to the extremely backward productivity level, hard life, and slight natural disasters, either starved to death or had to come out to rob.Qiergani led the tribe to attack Mingbian many times, and finally died.

In the 13th year of Jiajing (1534), Zhu Kongge, the leader of the Yehe tribe, led his people to move south and settled on the north bank of the Yehe River.The Yehe tribe moved to the Yehe River Basin for a very simple and rude purpose, which was to covet trade with the Ming Dynasty.However, the interests of the Yehe tribe and the Hada tribe had a direct conflict at this time, and both wanted to compete for the trading rights of Kaiyuan Horse Market, so Yehe and Hada had always been at war.Since Hada had been implementing a pro-Ming policy since the time of Wang Zhong, it received direct support from Ming.

"Minister Ye He's Chu Kongge was in chaos, and Wangji Wailan (Wang Zhong) seized him and seized [-] tributes and thirteen villages under his command"——Taigan was seized and dedicated to the Ming court.

Ye He was attacked by Daming and Hada in turn, and his vitality was seriously injured.And after Taigan died, the dragons fell into chaos without a leader.At this time, the two brothers Qing Jiani and Yang Jini (one said to be Taiganzi and the other said to be Taigan's nephew) joined forces to eliminate other competitors in Yehe's department and began to govern together.

It is not easy to seek development among the chaotic Jurchen ministries, and political savvy is necessary. Therefore, first of all, Qing Jiani and Yang Jipi urgently need to recognize their own situation.

Qiergani, Zhu Kongge, who are too strong, will either be killed by the Ming army or held by Hada. On the basis of Yehe's own strength is not strong enough, it is very unwise to be an enemy of the Ming court or even Hada.

Secondly, on this basis, because Hada (Wangtai) was too powerful, it began to be gradually suppressed by the Ming court. In this case, Ye He needed to build a good relationship with the Ming court and gain the support of the Ming court.

Again, Ye He is weaker than Hada at this time, so Ye He also wants to make friends with Hada.Qing Jiapi and Yang Jipi married their older sisters to Wang Tai, and Yang Jipi also married Wang Tai's daughter to show respect.

In the end, Qing Jiani and Yang Jini built two separate cities in the east and west in order to control the Yehe tribe, and "East City Baylor" and "West City Baylor" came from this.

From here, Yehebu began to flourish.Only by having a correct understanding of one's own strength and the environment can a correct strategy be formulated, coupled with the correct execution method, in order to achieve the desired result.

At the same time, with the expansion of Wang Tai's strength, Daming's attitude towards Wang Tai began to reverse after Wang Tai proclaimed his sweat.Huifa and Wulabu also began to disobey Wang Taiyang.

Seizing the opportunity, Qing Jiani and Yang Jipi took advantage of the internal contradictions in Hada to recruit many of Hada's followers;

At this time, Nurhachi came, and Qing Jiani immediately took a fancy to Nurhachi's role.

The current situation is as follows: Ye He is hostile to Hada; the Jianzhou right back is also hostile to Hada, but the Jianzhou right back was just beaten by Li Chengliang, Atai was destroyed, and the right back was greatly damaged; Weak and lacking a "leader" character, no matter who he is inclined to, he is basically in a neutral state in terms of face.

What does this mean?

Qing Jiani believes that since the left and right guards in Jianzhou are now leaderless at the same time, if the Yehe tribe wins Nurhachi over, for example, as a son-in-law, and then supports him to become Baylor of the left and right guards in Jianzhou—or at least It's Baylor, the left back of his headquarters in Jianzhou - then Ye He has a good ally south of Hada.

The Yehe tribe is to the north (or northwest) of the Hada tribe, Jianzhou is to the south of the Hada tribe, plus the Huifa and Ula tribes (to the east and northeast of the Hada tribe) who are also dissatisfied with the Hada tribe. Basically in a state of being surrounded and beaten.

In such a situation, unless Daming personally stepped off the field and sidelined the fight, the Hada tribe would definitely be defeated with one enemy and four, and as long as they were defeated, they would have almost no place to run.

In this way, Nurhachi is simply a good son-in-law sent to the door-with his joining, Ye He's encirclement of Hada is considered complete.

Of course, this encirclement cannot include Daming in the southwest direction of the Hada tribe, because if Daming is counted in this period, or if Daming insists on protecting a certain Jurchen tribe, then this tribe can directly become king in Jurchen , What the hell?

The reason why Wangtai of the Hada tribe was able to rise in the early years and was the best among the Jurchen tribes was that he acted as a hardcore dog and recognized Da Ming's father. If Da Ming's father said he wanted to chase chickens, he would never chase dogs. Therefore, it can develop rapidly.

But Da Ming’s father’s policy is not stupid. The Jurchen ministries must be balanced, and no one can be too strong. It is a consistent policy to support the weak and defeat the strong. So after Wang Tai said he was sweating, Daming began to alienate him obviously—this is Ye Hegan The root cause of the attack on Hada.

At this point, some judges may want to ask, what happened to Nurhachi in history?His process of unifying the Jurchens seems to be relatively smooth. Why did Da Ming's father suddenly stop talking, or is it so easy to talk?
Because Nurhachi's luck is so good that he can unify the state and unify the Jurchen at a good time-the Renchen Japanese Rebellion.

The Imchen Japanese Invasion has been fought for so long. Da Mingguang had already struggled to support an army of [-] to [-] at most during the Korean War. How could he have time to take care of the Jurchens?
In the original history, the largest force relied on by the Ming Dynasty to deter the Jurchens was the huge servant army under Li Chengliang. However, this army first fought a battle in Ningxia, and then fell into the quagmire of North Korea. In the end, it suffered huge losses. The death of Li Rusong It is directly related to the too many deaths and injuries of Li Jiajiading and the serious decline in combat effectiveness.

Under such circumstances, Nurhachi was able to successfully unify the state and unify Jurchen.

So it shows that the luck in the later period is extremely bad, that is not a joke, it is really bad luck in all aspects.

Now, Nurhachi has embarked on the first step of his rise just like in history: he got Qing Jiani's attention, married Qing Jiani's daughter, and reciprocated his father-in-law's expectation-he said that he would go south immediately, and he must pay attention Zuowei of Zhenjian Prefecture, being a good son-in-law of Ye He, sealed off Hada.

Under the eager expectation of Qing Jianiu, Nurhachi took the newly married beauty Yehe and hurried south to return to the defense.
-
In other words, there are many novels written in the late Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows the situation of the Houjin and the Eight Banners after the rise, but the Jurchen before Nurhachi’s rise of troops may not have many friends. I don’t know if there are many interested readers?
