Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1034 Battle of Liwei
There is a saying in later generations that the Han people in all dynasties have been beaten most of the time. They will be beaten when they are weaker and backward than others, and they will still be beaten when they are stronger and more advanced than others. Therefore, the Han people are peace-loving and do not move at all Those frontier nomads and frontier barbarians who invaded the Han people were cruel by nature.

This idea is very marketable, which shows that many people see mountains as mountains and water as water, and they are unwilling to use their brains to think independently.

If the Han people were just beaten, how did they develop from one or two small tribes by the Yellow River to become the lords of Kyushu?Could it be that the best livable place in East Asia was obtained by being beaten?

"Barbarians" after you sing, I will appear on the stage. After thousands of years, many of those ethnic groups that used to be glorious in the past, many of whom are not even sure about their descendants, have disappeared into the long river of history. What is going on?
I usually ask you a question: Can people be robbed if they are poor?
You must answer: Of course not.

But if you think about it for a while, can you still answer so confidently?
No one wants to die, and no one is really comfortable with death, especially meaningless death.

Debiff said that under the plague, the dying will plunder the dying, and the so-called contract will disappear at that moment, and human nature will truly be revealed in the face of death.Han people's understanding of "barbarians" is only "poor", but in fact, they are not only poor?More often, they have to face death at any time.

Plague, disease, hunger, natural disasters, they seem to be unable to solve any of them.

They don't have mild and humid weather, it's either hot or cold; they are not lazy, many historical books record that they will reclaim all the surrounding land into farmland, but the harvest is pitiful, and they don't have advanced irrigation such as water drums Tools, and no iron farm tools such as hoes and pickaxes.

Because they have not mastered iron smelting technology, and all iron utensils are not allowed to be traded most of the time, because the rulers of the Central Plains will doubt whether these "barbarians" will melt iron utensils and turn them into weapons to attack themselves ; Even if trading is allowed, the prices of these iron farm tools are all silver, whether you like to buy them or not, and ginseng, mink fur, and deer antler, which are more precious than iron farm tools, are bargained by shrewd Central Plains businessmen, and some even cooperate with the government. When you enter Gongshi, it will be confiscated in the name of "prohibited items". If you dare to talk back, you may even be labeled as a rebel. Not only will your things be lost, but your life will also be lost.

This is true of the Mongols, and so is the Jurchens.

The Han people should be thankful that their ancestors were powerful and civilized enough to not only occupy the best place to reproduce, but also inherit the culture passed down from generation to generation, so that the vast majority of Han people at least don’t have to pay for an iron pot. When a war breaks out, you will not be discriminated against or bullied because of your blood.

Just as Gao Wuyou mentioned to Huang Zhiting when he was in Guangxi: "Fish are in the water, but they forget about the water; birds fly in the wind, but they don't know the wind. Do you think these Yao people in the mountains live a simple and comfortable life? No, they It’s just that they dare not contact the outside world, afraid of being ridiculed, bullied, or hurt, so they keep hiding in the mountains and never dare to face the world head-on.”

Huang Zhiting asked him: "Could it be their fault that they were suppressed by the courts of all dynasties and fled all the way to the mountains?"

Gao Pragmatically replied: "A moth flies into a flame, and a fire scorches a moth. There is no reason for misfortune. If a fruit grows a flower, and the flower bears fruit, you must know that there is a reason for the blessing. Although the world is big, it will eventually have a limit; although the earth's strength is abundant, it will eventually have an end. Every day Every nation wants to live a better life, but the world is limited. If you live a better life, there will be more tribesmen. They also want to live a better life. Do you want to help?

If there is no gang, it can only expand, and can only rob the land that originally belonged to others.So where do others go?Would you worry about them instead of snatching them?Just like we cook sheep and slaughter cattle, just to eat more and eat better, but what are the cattle and sheep?Would you worry about your cattle and sheep and not eat them? "[Note: See Chapter 082 of "By Guangxi" Volume, Don't Be a Han Haoniao.]
Can you rob because you are poor?
No.

Because you are poor, so poor that you are on the verge of death, can you grab it?

can.

For hunger is a greater truth than any morality.

Compared with hunger, death is the absolute truth.

The original wish of no nation is to live in war, at least the vast majority of people do not want to face war.Just as Tumed is one of the most powerful tribes among the Mongols, they used to suppress and beat Da Ming decades ago, but as long as Da Ming agrees to trade with them, they can work for Da Ming in turn—Chataiji is now in Da Ming Ningnan helped Daming guard the material passage.

No matter the Han people, the Mongols, or the Jurchens, what everyone pursues is to survive, and if they hope for more, it is nothing more than to live a better life.

This is true for Nikanwailan, and so is Nurhachi.

Bukulu, also known as Nikan Wailan, was originally a small leader in the Sukesa Hu tribe. His status came from money. Lord of Tulun - similar to a Waller or Castellan.

In other words, Nikan Wailan was originally a subordinate of Takshi.

Now that Nurhachi has inherited the position of Takshi, Nikanwailan should be Nurhachi's subordinate.

But this subordinate now seems to have the support of Daming. The dragons in Jianzhou have no leader, the right guard Wang Gao and A Tai are the leaders, and the left guard Jue Chang'an and Tu Keshi are accidentally killed. Who can stop Nikan Wailan's edge?

It seems not, so Nikan Wailan sent a letter to Nurhachi, asking him to follow him.

But Nurhachi asked someone to reply to Nikan Wailan: "You are my father's subordinate, that is, my subordinate, and now you have asked me to submit to you. Is there anyone in the world who can live for a hundred years?"

Many historical books have recorded here, and they all praised Nurhachi, saying that he avenged his father, raised troops with hatred, was not afraid of strength, and was wise and brave.

But in fact, what many people mainly feel is Nurhachi's bravery, not wisdom. However, the fact is that his answer is actually more wise than brave.

Why?

Nurhachi is the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, which is an official position recognized (soon to be recognized) by the Ming Dynasty. Although Nikanwailan is powerful now, he does not have an official official position in the Ming Dynasty. At best, he is a "temporary worker".

Under such circumstances, if Nikan Wailan wanted to truly become the lord of Jianzhou, he needed the official recognition of the Ming court, not the secret recognition of some bigwigs in Liaodong.

He has to be honest in order to be smooth.

As for Nurhaci, he is the nominal leader of Nikan Wailan. Although many people in the Sukesa Hu tribe surrendered to Nikan Wailan, it was due to the situation, because Li Chengliang attached great importance to Nikan Wailan. Still have ideas.

At this moment, if Nikan Wailan really wants to replace Aixinjueluo as the lord of the left guard in Jianzhou, or even the so-called "Manchurian lord", then he should now make every effort to kill Nurhachi as soon as possible, because Nurhachi will not die for a day , he will not be able to justify his name for a day.

Conversely, Nurhachi had to kill Nikan Wailan to prove that he was the real master of Jianzhou Zuowei.

There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the people. The Jianzhou Zuowei cannot accommodate two leaders, and the Ming Dynasty does not need a mere Jianzhou Zuowei to be divided into two parts.

Nurhachi saw through the truth earlier than Nikanwailan, and his only hesitation now is that Gao Pragmatism asked him to wait, saying that he had given him credit, and this credit would make his succession to the position justifiable.

But now there is a problem, and Li Dun refuses to accept it.

This incident made Nurhachi realize that Nikanwailan was not only the enemy who killed his grandfather and father, but also the biggest stumbling block for him right now. If he was not killed, not only would he not be able to make it through morally, but he would also be unable to win the support of his tribe politically— — People will not support a person who cannot even avenge his grandfather and father.

He told his knowledge to Shuerhaqi, the only younger brother who he could absolutely trust, Shuerhaqi decisively expressed his support: "What Bukulu relies on is the approval of Uncle Li, but Ah Hun, your commander Even if it was Gao Futai's promise, as long as we can solve Bukulu before Gao Futai entrusts us to do what he said, I don't think Gao Futai will go back on his word."

"Can we solve Bukulu before that?" Nurhachi asked sternly.

Shuerhaqi straightened his chest, and said, "Not to mention anything else, a city of Tulun is not in the eyes of my younger brother yet!"

Nurhachi suddenly burst into laughter, patted Shuerhaqi on the shoulder and said, "I have a plan..."

On the second day, Nurhachi gathered his men and announced to take revenge—of course not Li Chengliang, but Nikanwailan.

As expected, as soon as Nurhachi hit the banner of revenge, several city lords in Suke Sahu who had not surrendered to Nikanwailan took the initiative to find Nurhachi, expressing their willingness to crusade against Nikanwailan with him.They agreed to attack Nikanwailan's lair - Tulun City together in a few days.

While they were preparing for each other, a person came to the residence of Nomina, the lord of Sarhu City.

There are often such people in historical records and various romances. The two armies are about to fight, and suddenly someone comes to the opposing coach to whisper. This kind of person is a lobbyist.

Today, the identity of this lobbyist is quite special. This person is the fourth son of Nurhachi's third uncle, named Long Dun.

Long Dun first found Nomina's younger brother, Nekada, with an extremely excited expression.

"Brother, do you know that you are about to face disaster!"

Seeing Long Dun's expression and hearing Long Dun's words, Nekada panicked and hurriedly asked why.

Long Dun then slowly said: "Now the Ming Dynasty will help Lord Bukulu build the city in Jiaban, let him be the leader of our Jianzhou, not to mention the Hada Department also help him. The situation is over. It’s like this, why are you brothers still submitting to Nurhachi? Isn’t this courting death?”

When Nekada heard it, it made sense!

He immediately found his eldest brother Nomina, and explained the whole story. He really deserves to be a brother. Nomina also woke up like a dream, and immediately said that I, Salhu City, would not participate in the attack on Tulum City.

For Nurhachi, this is not good news. Sarhu's withdrawal made his already inferior troops worse. People felt that Nurhachi would die down.

The battle has not yet been fought, and it seems that it has already been lost.

Nikan Wailan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the news, and happily continued to prepare the new year's goods to be sent to Tieling—this was for Li Chengliang, but Li Chengliang himself was far away in western Liaoning, and Nikan Wailan couldn't deliver there. So it has always been sent to Li Chengliang Tieling's hometown.

Surprisingly, however, Nurhachi didn't stop, he suddenly came to the city of Tumen, with nearly a hundred people in his army, plus some city lords who helped out, the whole army consisted of more than [-] people, with about fifty or sixty sets of armor.

Nikan Wailan originally had more than 300 subordinates. Of course, this strength is nothing compared to Daming, but in fact it still crushed Nurhachi at this time. However, there are two serious problems now: one is that he did not call in advance His subordinates, instead, just sent more than 50 people to escort the new year's goods to Tieling, and these people also took away most of the armor owned by Nikanwailan;

The second is that Nikan Wailan started his business by doing business, and he didn't know how to fight at all. In the past, he followed Li Chengliang's army, and Li Chengliang's troops didn't think much of him at all, and almost never let him participate in the battle. So he has no combat experience at all, and of course he will not have experience in commanding operations.

Therefore, when he quietly glanced at the Nurha Red Army arrayed outside the city, he immediately made a decision: abandon the city and flee.

So Nikanwailan fled directly to Jiaban City.

Uh……

This was the first battle in Nurhachi's life, and he won without a fight.Shuerhaqi and An Feiyanggu, who were eager to try, were both excited and disappointed.

Excited because I won; disappointed because I won without fighting.

Forget it, you should celebrate when you win, so everyone went to the city to celebrate the victory.And that night, Nomina, the lord of Sarhu City, came. At first, everyone thought that this guy was here to admit his mistakes, but Nurhachi even thought about it. He wanted to show his commanding attitude and not care about him.

Who knows that an accident happened, Nomina seems to have a bad temper.

"You can't invade the two cities in the Hunhe River; the two cities to the east have always had a grudge against me, you can take them down and give them to me, otherwise, you won't be able to get my support in the future!"

A person who not only has no credit, but is also collaborating with the enemy, has the nerve to point things out. This Nomina is not only arrogant, but also thick-skinned, but these are actually not fatal. What is fatal is that his IQ seems to be lower than his EQ.

Nurhachi not only agreed to Nomina's request, but the two also made an appointment to attack Nomina's enemies together.

After the two sides met, Nurhachi proposed: This city has never had any enmity with me. I am here to help you on this trip. You should send troops first.

Nomina refused straight away: No way.

This answer is very shrewd. I don’t need to lose a single soldier. Let others work for me. After finishing the work, I will return the harvest to myself. It’s a good strategy. There is also a possibility that the snipe and the clam will fight for the fisherman’s profit, and wait for Nurhachi to send troops. After fighting with others and hurting both sides, he cleaned up everything in one fell swoop.

Just when Nomina's IQ seemed to be developing by leaps and bounds, Nurhachi suggested that it is okay for me to fight first, but since I attack first, the current siege equipment is not enough, and it is also difficult for you to stand behind. No, you might as well lend it to us first.

Nuomina felt that Nurhachi's request was reasonable this time, so she gave it with a big wave of her hand.

Then, Nomina and his men, who handed over their weapons, watched Nurhachi's soldiers rushing towards them.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, and secretly adopted Jia Xu's strategy. He put weapons and armor on the soldiers in the name of insufficient transport vehicles, and suddenly attacked when passing by the gate of Cao Jun. In this battle, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin and Love general Dian Wei died in battle.

In connection with Commander Nurhachi's love of reading "Three Kingdoms", there is reason to suspect that he learned this skill from here.

The difference is that Cao Cao was a tiger taking a nap that time, but Nuo Mina would never become a tiger in his life, and more importantly, Nuo Mina also had the opportunity to review his mistakes like Cao Cao.

Seeing this scene, Nomina was stunned, and asked blankly, "Nurhachi, what do you mean?"

Before he finished speaking, the idiot was slashed off his horse by Shuerhaqi with a sharp swing of a knife.

Now that Nurhachi's battle of standing up has successfully ended, he can wait for Gao Futai to make great contributions to him with peace of mind.

After all, Nurhachi is only a supporting role, so I can save some dialogues and so on. Besides... the records in the history books are also very simple. If I play too much on my own, I may go astray.

By the way, Ye Xianggao was mentioned in the previous chapter. Apart from this person’s role in the future, there are two reasons: first, he was born in the same year as Nurhachi, so I will mention it by the way; I am a Jinshi, so let me mention one thing first.
