Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1346 Nancha Storm ([-]) Tarum

The main house of Yehe East City is the so-called Baylor Mansion.In fact, the word "fu" is not very suitable here. No matter in terms of architectural specifications or the status of the owner, this house is far from being a "fu".

The emergence of "fu" as a residential function was first recorded in "Zhou Li Tianguan Dazai": "The residence of hundreds of officials is called a mansion".The later development will not be discussed in detail here, but in the Ming Dynasty, according to the regulations, "the princes called the mansion, the officials called the house, and the common people called the family."

But that being said, it is well known that such things as the etiquette system will become looser and looser in the later stages of the dynasty. Therefore, in the Long Wannian period, many things changed.

Some deliberately avoided the word "fu" and used other honorific titles. For example, the mansion Gao Wu lived in at Jinggong Square in Zhaohui was called "Zhuangyuandi" earlier, which is to avoid.

Some are purely due to changes in the atmosphere and ignore regulations. For example, after Gao Yushi became the Minister of the Ministry of Households, the same original No. [-] scholar began to change its name to "Shangshu Gaofu"-using the word Fu.

This is a new change brought about by the second surge in the status of civil servants during the Longqing period.I have never heard of any general soldier who dared to call his residence "General Army Mansion" or "General Army Mansion" or even "Commander's Mansion". An important minister of the state, his residence can now be called a "fu" by default, such as the University Scholars' Mansion, the Minister's Mansion, and the General Constitutional Mansion-the regulations still do not allow it, but even if the emperor knows it, he will not pursue it.

It's not surprising to say that, how many civil servants in the early Ming Dynasty could wear boa robes?Not to mention those who are rewarded with sitting python robes.Now that he even wears a boa robe, what's the big deal about living in a "house"?The only thing that can be strictly restricted now is probably the "palace".

Yes, in the early years only the residence of the feudal king was called the mansion, but what was the status of the feudal king at that time, and what is the status of the feudal king now?To put it bluntly, besides Zhu Yiliu, the emperor's direct brother, which vassal today would dare to be rude in front of Gao Yushi?No, there won't be any.

What's more, in fact, even Zhu Yixuan might not dare - because he can only get income from the fiefdom of the vassal king, and cannot directly manage it.The direct management of these fiefdoms is in the local yamen, while the top-level management is in the hands of the Ministry of Households, in the hands of Gao Yushi.

Because of this, when Cao Yan was about to enter the gate of Nalinbulu's "Baile Mansion", he couldn't help but sneered when he looked at the plaque, stopped, and said to Nalinbulu and Buzhai who were walking beside him. : "I have been an official for many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a desolate mansion."

Although Nalinbulu and Buzhai were angry in their hearts, they obviously did not dare to play wild in front of Cao Yu. The landlord Nalinbulu accompanied him and said with a smile: "This...this is just that we wait for the barbarians to admire the Celestial Dynasty, and we have no other intentions."

Cao Yan snorted softly: "It's better not." He said and walked in.

Nalinbulu and Buzhai looked at each other cautiously, each rejoicing that although Cao Yu was domineering, he lifted it high and put it down gently, and didn't go into it deeply.

It is common for the Ming army to be domineering, not to mention the Liaoyang deputy general who is in charge of the area east of the Liaohe River. Nalin Bulu and Buzhai are not surprised by this.They were a little surprised that Cao Yu just mocked them and stopped pursuing them. According to the general situation, Cao Yu should at least beat or even threaten them at this time.

But Cao Yu didn't, Nalinbulu and Buzhai always felt that something was wrong, but they didn't dare to delay at the moment, and followed into "Baylor's Mansion" with their own minds.

There is no doubt that Cao Yu will take the seat, and even if it is purely based on official positions, quite a few of the generals of the Ming army have to sit closer to Cao Yu than Nalinbulu and Buzhai.However, considering that the two Baylors were landlords after all, Cao Yan moved their seats forward, and sat in the position second only to Kaiyuan general Ma Chengxun, opposite to Shenyang guerrilla general Qi Jin.

Nalinbulu and Buzhai first expressed their gratitude to the arrival of the Ming army's heavenly soldiers, and thanked all the generals present one by one, and then said: "Thanks to the commander-in-chief Huwei, the Tumen thieves fled without a fight. I, Tarum It is beyond words to express the gratitude of the whole family for the whole life of the guards, and now they must make up their minds and guard the frontier for the Celestial Dynasty."

Cao Yu didn't have much expression, nodded his head, and said indifferently: "If you two have such thoughts, this trip is not in vain."

It turned out that the "official positions" of these two Yehe's Baylors in Daming were nothing more than mere commanders, and their status was lower than that of other Jurchen ministries such as Hada and even Jianzhou.

Ye He is actually the most powerful in Jurchen now, why is his official position so low?Of course there are historical reasons.

When the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty were destroyed, the Mongolian nobles withdrew from the capital and returned to the grasslands, but their political power was not lost, but the scope of their jurisdiction was narrowed, and they still issued orders. It was called the Northern Yuan Dynasty in history.At that time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty still ruled the vast area of ​​Haixi, and the Jurchens were still the subjects of the Yuan Dynasty.

In July of the fourth year of Hongwu, the capital of Liao Dynasty was established.In October of the eighth year, the capital guard was changed to Liaodong Capital Commander Division, leading 25 guards and two prefectures.In ten years, all prefectures and counties were dismissed, and the Weisuo system was the basis of the administrative division of Northeast China.From Dingliao Duwei to Liaodong Commander Division, its jurisdiction is only "to the Yalu River in the east, Shanhaiguan in the west, Lushunkou in the south, and Kaiyuan in the north". The north and south are not yet within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and this vast area is still under the jurisdiction of the "Haixi Xuanweisi" of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the 16th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wrote an edict to surrender to the former Yuan "Haixi Youcheng" Alu Hui, who was guarding this place, urging him to surrender.After Alu Hui surrendered, the Ming Dynasty's decree arrived in the Haixi area.

The Yehe area in the early Ming Dynasty was basically an undeveloped desert land. It was only after the orthodoxy that the Jurchen tribe moved southward, and the Talumu guard began to enter this area after several rounds.

In order to resist the comeback of Mongolian forces, since the surrender of Aluhui, they began to appease the Jurchen tribe, set up guards widely, issued imperial edicts to seals, and established the "Nuer Gandu Division" to rule them.

At this time, the Haixi area implemented a management system different from that of the mainland. It was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty but was not within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It was a typical "one country, two systems".

The Jurchen Naqi Bulu took advantage of this opportunity to establish the "Hu Lun Kingdom", which the Ming Dynasty neither recognized nor interfered with, thus forming a tripartite confrontation among the Ming Dynasty, Bei Yuan, and Hu Lun.

The Ming Dynasty has always carried out its "restriction policy" for its own purpose: "to cover the Jin and Yuan feuds, and to want the barbarians to attack themselves."The Ming Dynasty took advantage of the racial hatred of the Yuan Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty to implement a special system in the Northeast, using the Jurchen to shield the Northern Fan.

However, after the disintegration of the Hu Lun Kingdom, four Jurchen Kingdoms appeared side by side in Songliao land, known as the "Four Divisions of Hu Lun" in history.

After the rise of these four Haixi Jurchen emerging forces, the Ming Dynasty still strictly guarded the border wall.As long as you don't disturb the side, let them make their own tricks.Therefore, Tatar, Oala, and Duoyan (Fuyu, Taining) in the north can all be listed as "foreign countries", but the "Four Clans of Hulun" are not in this case.And the leaders of the "Four Clans of Hu Lun" also "knowledge well in the Ming Dynasty, and they all lead the guards with their subordinates, and they are called the country when they order them".

Since Ye He and other "Hulun Four" are not recognized, theoretically speaking, they should be regarded as military and political institutions within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The place where they are located is the administrative region of the Ming Dynasty, and the people they rule are also the Ming Dynasty. of the people.

However, this is not the case. The territory of the Ming Dynasty listed in the later "Ming History and Geography" did not include the Haixi Jurchen area.A population census was carried out in the sixth year of Wanli. There were 10621436 households and 60692856 Dingkou (adult males with labor force and legal household registration) in the whole country. Among them, there were no Jurchens outside the side wall.

As a result, Ye He and other "Four Departments of Hulun" became a special area that was not only attached to the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty, but also separated from the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty regime.

In the Ming Dynasty, the title "Yehe" never officially appeared in the official classics, but was always recorded as "Talumuwei" and paid tribute to the city.

Talumuwei was first seen in Ming Dynasty classics in the fourth year of Yongle, "Ming Shilu Chengzu Shilu" Yongle four years in February Gengyin's article: "Jurchen savage leader Daye and 70 people came to the court, and ordered Tarumu and other four Wei, with the batting as the command."This is the beginning of Tarumwei's debut on the stage of history.However, the Tarumwei officials at this time were not of the same line as the later Yehe leader.

No matter whether it is beating leaves or beating catkins, they are not the ancestors of Yehe tribe.Daye was passed on to Nieliea, then to Sahada, and then to Narqiren and Tongha. The Daye family ended here, and then disappeared from history.

Tong Ha took office in the 14th year of Chenghua. At the same time, another Talumu guard girl, Hayou, also appeared on the stage of history, but he did not mention the word "attack", indicating that he was not Da Ye offspring or family.

Dear Ha, you are actually Qierhana, the ancestor of Yehe, who was later called Qiergani in the historical records of the Qing Dynasty.There are only two dynasties recorded above Qiergani, but they are found from the historical records of the Qing Dynasty. The Ming people probably didn't care about Ye He at all, so there is no record in the historical records of the Ming Dynasty.And these two generations are the first ancestor Xinggen Darhan, the second generation Xierke Mingatu, and Qiergani is the third generation.At this time, the Yehe tribe has not yet been formed, and they are all just a leader of Tarumwei.

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the command envoys of the guards had to govern 5000 people, and Qiergani served as the command envoys, which shows that they have a large population and great influence. However, the Jurchen guards are different from the inland guards. , can only obtain economic benefits through the tribute market, and another source of income is the insignificant rewards from the court.

Of course, this cannot solve the problem of the survival and development of the Jurchen guards, and their own productivity... is almost negligible, so robbery and looting are inevitable, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty has become more and more complicated. Naturally To be suppressed most severely by the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of Zhengde, "Su Changjia (that is, Qiergani) used the law of the Han Dynasty to cut open the original city"-disobedient and was cut in the city.So in the eighth year of Zhengde, "Haixiyi Jiahacha, Zhu Kongge and others blocked the tribute".

This is a very normal thing, because his father Qiergani was killed by the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to avenge his father, and joined forces with the leader of Feihewei Gahacha to block the tribute.However, after all, the Yehe tribe could not fight against the Ming Dynasty, and finally had to give in. Therefore, in August of the eighth year of Zhengde, the Ministry of War played: "The four people, including Zhu Kongge, a barbarian from Haixi, listened to pay tribute, and they wanted to be promoted and sent to the seal. And imperial decree. If you follow it, you will show weakness, and if you don't follow it, you will complain. The ministers and other court officials discussed that they thought that the son of Zhu Kongge's father, Hayou, was in command of the Talumu guard, and was killed by the invaders. He was temporarily allowed to attack his father. The post will be paid to the governor of Liaodong to collect and store it, and it will be granted after more than one year without disturbing the border."

Well, the origin is clearer in this way. It is like this: Ye He’s ancestors were not the lords of “Ye He Kingdom (later called as such)”, one of the four tribes of Hulun, but only the important leaders of the country, that is, Commander of Tarumwei.

Although the ruling family of the "country" disappeared later, everyone knows the habits of Daming, which is very particular about name.You are not the lord of the country, so I will not give it to you as a commander, even if the lord is gone, so Ye He's "Baile (leader)" has only been a commander so far in Daming.

In other words, they actually performed the command and envoy power of the "Tarumuwei" on behalf of the commanders, so of course they could not compare with Hada and Jianzhou in terms of "official status".So they were able to sit across from Qi Jin just now, because Cao Yan saw them as "landlords" and treated them specially.

In the face of Cao Yu's lukewarm words, Nalinbulu and Buzhai could only ignore it. After all, there was a "disparity in status" and secondly, they had to ask for help from others.

After all, Buzhai, who lost his old lair, was even more anxious, completely ignoring the matter of killing his father, and saying, "Commander, now Tumen are as afraid of him as a tiger, and my west city is still raging under him." Under the plunder, all the leaders and people of the tribe are eagerly looking forward to returning to Daming, why didn't the commander-in-chief send out the heavenly soldiers early to help me take back the west city, so as to guard the border for Daming from generation to generation?"

To be able to speak so bluntly, this Buzhai is indeed a barbarian.Thinking of this, Cao Yu's face remained unchanged. He glanced at him and said, "Now marching in winter, although the heavenly soldiers are mighty, they still need to rest. This commander has always loved soldiers like sons, how can he not be sympathetic and forceful?" Make them continue to fight?"

Bu Zhai suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Marshal..."

As soon as the words came out, Nalin Bulu who was next to him hurriedly pulled him back, and said: "What the commander said is very true, the heavenly soldiers went north to rescue me Ye...Talumu Wei, it is true that it is very hard, under the fatigue of the pommel horse Take a break, that's what you should do."

But this is obviously not his main purpose, so he looked at Cao Yu's face, saw that he was not angry, lowered his voice a little, and asked respectfully: "I just don't know how many days the commander plans to rest? The other meaning is just to arrange the supply according to the commander's plan, so as not to make a mistake in the supply and neglect the commander, the generals and the army under his command."

Seeing that he could talk, Cao Yu's face became more amiable, and he smiled a little, and said: "I appreciate your kindness, but how long this rest will be, we have to wait for Tanma to report back on the situation in the west city before we can make a decision. If Tumen intends to defend to the death in the west city, then we will have to harass for a few more days, and we can fight fiercely after making sufficient preparations, don't you think?"

Nalin Bulu's smile froze, and he forced a smile just now. Before he could speak, Buzhai couldn't help it: "How could Tumen defend the west city to death? He has cavalry under his command, what do he use to defend the city? I don't think so. Shuai has hundreds of cannons under his command, and when they are pulled into the city, they will be bombarded, and the Tumen are afraid that it will be too late for them to run, so why are they guarding?"

Cao Yan's smile faded, his face darkened, and he said coldly, "Are you teaching me how to fight?"
