Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1441 Destiny Is Hard to Break (Part [-])
Shuerhaqi sent an envoy to visit Cao Yu this time, not in private, but in accordance with Nurhachi's will.Before that, Nurhachi's envoy to surrender was rejected by Cao Yu, and after that, Nurhachi's people could no longer enter Cao Yu's barracks.Right now, due to the deterrence of Shujianqi, Nurhachi had to discuss with Shuerhaqi, and in the name of Shuerhaqi, he came to discuss peace with Cao Yu.

This time the messenger was unknown, and his name was even a bit funny to the Han people—his name was Nimaha.But don't get me wrong, "Nimaha" means "fish" in Manchu. As a fishing and hunting nation, it is not surprising that his father gave him this name.

Nimaha brought what is said to be "the joint request of Ningguta Dabeilor and Ningguta Erbeile", saying that the request was indeed a request, and the two "Baile" asked for surrender.

Cao Yu put on a casual look, glanced at Nimaha, and said indifferently: "Please surrender? Please surrender at this time, don't you think it's too late?"

Nimaha bowed his head and said: "Master Zong Rong didn't know something, the two Baylors had this idea long ago, but before the master..."

"What happened before?" Cao Yan snorted softly, "This commander also says the same thing now: Unless you kneel down by the side of the road, disarm your soldiers and wait to be dealt with, otherwise..."

Nimaha's heart tightened, and he heard Cao Yu say: "...the old story of Chenghua Liting, I don't mind doing it again, I will give you a long memory."

Chenghua Liting, these four words are the words most feared by the Jurchens in Jianzhou so far. Zhao Fu, the former general of the Ming army, described this battle in his "Pingyi Fu": "If you are strong, you will be killed, if you are old, you will be killed." For captives, if the earth collapses and the fire is extinguished, it will still disintegrate and the ice disappears. Empty their possessions and hog their houses, destroy their lairs and empty their nests, within ten days, the prisoner's territory will be depressed."

When Li Chengliang broke through Gule Village for the second time, he did not declare that he would give Jianzhou Jurchen another Chenghua Liting.Now that Nimaha heard Cao Yu's words suddenly, he could only think that it was Da Bei Le's feigned surrender and defeat of Uncle Li, which had completely angered the Ming court.

"Master Zong Rong clearly learned that I have guarded the territory of Daming for 200 years in Jianzhou. Although there were occasional misunderstandings that led to wars, the loyalty of Jianzhou to Daming can be seen from day to day. The two generations of Baylor's ancestors and fathers are all for Daming He died because of his service, the two Baylors themselves also studied Sinology, and admired the beauty of the heavenly kingdom..."

"You don't have to tell me this. This commander did not lead troops to fight in Jianzhou once or twice. He came to fight this time...Since the two brothers are going to surrender, this commander doesn't have to wait for you to die. .Now Ming Lu has pointed out for you, you only need to make a choice: surrender, or die."

Nimaha saw that Cao Yu was not accommodating at all, sighed, and said with a sad face: "The matter has come to this point, prejudices have grown deep, Jianzhou is a minister of Ming Dynasty after all, how dare you refuse to do what Zong Rong wants? It's just... excuse me The servant risked his life to ask: After Jianzhou surrendered, how will Ming Dynasty deal with it?"

Cao Yu originally wanted to say: "How does the Ming Dynasty deal with it? It's up to the sage to decide. How can you wait for speculation?"

But his heart moved, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Jianzhou originally had three guards, but now the three guards have long been in vain. After the commander-in-chief has pacified this time, he will play the saints and restore the old system of Jianzhou slightly. The right guard was separated from the guards. From then on, the east and west will be divided into separate states, and the frontiers will be guarded for the Ming Dynasty, so there will be a way to survive."

Nimaha didn't expect Cao Yu to say this, or Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi didn't expect Cao Yu to give such surrender conditions.Since there was no prior authorization, of course Nimaha didn't dare to agree indiscriminately, so he had to ask Cao Yan for more time to allow him to go back and report.

Cao Yan waved his hand like a fly and let him go, not even bothering to reply.

After Nimaha left, Cao Yu turned his head and said to Gao Yimin: "The two of them are desperate, so it's better to speak up, it's a good balance." After a pause, he added: "I just don't know where Da Si Nong is. Have you asked this town to really come to Liting to sweep the cave..."

Although Gao Yimin called him the general, he did not dare to call himself the commander in front of Gao Yimin. This was to inquire about Gao Yu's practical intentions, so he only dared to call himself "this town".

Gao Yimin shook his head and said, "Master just asks for the restoration of peace in Liaodong as soon as possible, and doesn't ask for war or peace."

Cao Yu nodded and said yes, then paused for a while, seemingly hesitant and thinking, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Yimin, if you want to restore the stability of Liaodong as soon as possible, harmony with nature is the best way. And if you want to promote peace as soon as possible, the town Instead, I feel that one person may be useful."

"Oh, who is this man?"

Cao Yu said: "This man's name is Baoshi, and he is the sixth ancestor of Nurhaci and Shuerhaqi."

"Sixth Patriarch?" Gao Yimin was taken aback for a moment, and what came into his mind was Patriarch Huineng, the sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, but after thinking about it, it was completely irrelevant, so he asked, "Is it the Sixth Patriarch?"

Cao Yan shook his head and said, "It's not the Sixth Patriarch. The 'Sixth Patriarch' is Nurhachi's name, but it's actually the sixth uncle—the sixth younger brother of Jue Chang'an."

"Oh..." Gao Yimin suddenly realized and nodded, and asked, "What's wrong with this man?"

Cao Yu replied: "This person is the leader of the Nurhaci family who opposed him after Suo Chang'a."

Gao Yimin had a headache and asked, "Who is Suo Chang?"

"Suo Chang'a is the third uncle of Nurhachi..." Cao Yu said, and felt that such a question and answer would be a bit of a delay, so he said: "If not, I will tell Mr. Yimin about their family's old and new grievances. Say?"

Just as Gao Yimin had this intention, he nodded and said: "That's the best, please tell me, General Rong, and Caomin will listen with all ears."

So Cao Yu talked about some inside information about the Nurhachi family. The thing is like this:

Nurhachi's great-grandfather, Fuman, governor of Jianzhou Zuowei, had six sons, namely Deshiku, Liu Chan, Suo Chang'a, Jue Chang'an, Bao Lang'a, and Baoshi.

Juechang Anxing four, according to the customs of Ming Dynasty, he should not be the heir of Fuman.However, Fuman is not a Han Chinese. He is more "free" in doing things and thinks that the fourth Juechang'an is more capable. Therefore, although it is not clear who is the heir, judging from the "canonization" given to his sons during his lifetime, Juechang Andang became his successor.

The six sons of Fuman, who were later called "Ningguta Liubeile", were "canonized" in Fuman's hands in this way: Deshi Kujujueercha; Liu Chanju Aha and Luo; Suochang Aju and Luo Gashan ; Juechang lived in Hetuala; Baolang Ajun Nimalan; Baoshi lived in Zhangjia.

Since Hetuala was Fuman's own residence and the best of these forts, Jue Chang'an's successor status was actually confirmed.One thing is very important at this time, that is, Nurhachi and his family are not Baylor of the Suke Suhu River, but Ningguta Baylor.

However, to be more clear, the chief of Ningguta at this time is actually not a "Baile", but a "true" because the six places add up to a radius of only tens of miles, which is equivalent to a large area. There are five villages and five small villages, which can't even be compared with a county in Ming Dynasty.

Now Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi dare to call themselves Baylor, because their brothers have gradually increased in strength after defeating Sukesu Huhe chief Nikan Wailan, and the Jianzhou Zuowei Commander, who was conferred by the Ming Dynasty, dared to call himself Baylor. So-called.

As for why Nurhachi claimed to be the chief of the Sukesuhuhe tribe and Ninggutabeile at the same time, it was because he wanted to express a process, that is, Ningguta had annexed the Sukesuhuhe tribe.It's just because the Suke Suhu River Department is relatively large, so the Suke Suhu River Department is used as the name of the department instead.Before continuing to name Ning Guta Baylor, it was to show that he did not forget his roots.

Closer to home, let’s talk about the five brothers of Jue Chang’an.Jue Changan took over the position left by Fuman as the fourth child, and the other five brothers obviously refused to accept it, because this practice was neither in line with the consistent purpose of the Ming Dynasty nor in line with their deeply influenced Mongolian custom of "young son guarding the stove".

But at that time, Daming was troublesome, and if he was banned, he would be banned, and the other five brothers had no choice but to swallow their anger, not daring to express their opposition publicly.However, Jue Changan only got a name. In fact, except for the old city of Hetuala (the current Hetuala was renovated and expanded by Nurhaci), the other five villages did not listen to his orders at all.

The Ning Guta Department was already very weak, and if it was done like this, Jue Chang'an's strength would naturally become even more pitiful.In addition, when Fuman was still alive, in order to show his talents, Jue Changan once suggested that the third brother Suo Chang'a be sent to Hada to marry Wanhan Wangtai. As a result, Suo Chang'a's son married Wangtai's daughter. Formed a marriage relationship.

This incident had a very good impact at the time, because Ning Guta was invaded by the Dong E tribe at that time and was unable to resist. After marrying Wanhan of Hada, Ning Guta sent Suo Chang'a to Hada as an envoy to take revenge on Hada.Wang Tai immediately agreed to Suo Chang'a's request, and sent [-] soldiers to assist the Juechang'an brothers to attack the Dong'e tribe.

In this military attack on the Dong'e tribe, the six Juechang'an brothers raided the villages of the Dong'e tribe, returning with a full load of people and animals, and became famous among the Jurchen tribes for a while.However, the enmity between the Juechang'an family and the Dong'e tribe has accumulated deeper and deeper - Nurhachi used this excuse to attack the Dong'e family before, but Daming didn't listen to it.

However, this incident led to another trouble, that is, the popularity of Suo Chang'a, who was married to Wang Tai, rose sharply, which intensified Jue Chang'an, the nominal leader of the left guard of Jianzhou, with a sense of crisis.In desperation, Jue Chang'an had no choice but to find another way to marry Wang Gao, the leader of the Jianzhou right guard who was rising at that time-this matter was mentioned before, so I won't say more here.

Later, Wang Gao died, Jue Changan and his son Takshi also died in an accident, and Nurhachi followed suit and raised troops to avenge Nikanwailan.At this time, Nurhachi received 30 edicts and 30 horses from Li Chengliang because of the unjust death of his grandfather and father. The moral balance within the family was shaken by interests.

Since Nikanwailan was considered to be the so-called "Manchurian lord" that Ming intended to support, the other five patriarchal families were probably worried that Nurhachi's revenge would bring blood and light to the family; perhaps they were more accustomed to how to play in the chess game arranged by others. Grabbing more personal interests without intention or daring to break the old pattern of interests. In short, when Nurhachi raised his troops to avenge Nikan Wailan, the relatives who were supposed to be natural allies seemed to have forgotten Jue Changan and Tak The death of the world, one after another stood on the side of the enemy.

The descendants of the Five Patriarchs first gathered in Tangzi (the place where Manchurians worship the heavens), vowed to the Tianmeng that they would kill Nurhachi, and then went to seek refuge with their enemy Nikanwailan, who was supported by the Ming Dynasty, and then spared no effort to start the campaign against Nurhachi .

They instigated Nurhachi's allies to abandon the covenant, secretly delivered news for Nikanwailan, sent assassins to assassinate Nurhachi several times, continued to collude with the Hada tribe to rob Nurhachi's fortress, and took Nurhachi's most trusted close comrade-in-arms and brother-in-law Gaha Shanhasi tiger designed to kill.

Among them, the most dangerous for Nurhachi is of course the assassination aimed at him personally.So, who were the people in this family who murdered Nurhachi?Cao Yu's narration is almost inseparable from the records of later history books.

There are at least the following records in the history books of later generations: "Kang Jia, Li Dai and other Jiuhada soldiers from the Wucheng tribe came to rob Huji Village. The Taizu envoy An Fei Yanggu and Ba Xun led 12 people to chase after them, and returned with all the plunder."

"First, Long Dun instigated Nomina to break the contract, and then ordered people to kill Gahashan Hasihu, and Taizu collected his bones for burial."

"Kang Jia, the son of the Sixth Patriarch Baoshi, conspired with Chuoqida Jiaoshan and others, and asked the soldiers of the Hada Kingdom to order the Hunhe Department to recruit Li Dai, the lord of the city (Li Dai is also a member of the clan), to rob Hujizhai, which belonged to the Taizu."

"The descendants of the eldest ancestor, the second ancestor, the third ancestor, and the sixth ancestor swore in the temple to murder the Taizu."

"There is Long Dun, the son of the third ancestor, who sent someone to report to Li Dai in advance, so he gathered troops to go to the city and waited for the enemy."

"Long Dun instigated Shamuzhang Rishamuzhang is the younger brother of Taizu's concubine."

"Among the brothers, they all conspired with Long Dun, but there was no one who had the same past."

In other words, except for Nurhachi, the other five ancestors participated.The participants Long Dun and Li Dai appeared the most, which shows that they should be the main members.

Here, Long Dun is the fourth son of the third patriarch Suo Chang'a, and Li Dai is the eldest son of the third patriarch Suo Chang'a.This also shows that the third ancestor, Suo Chang'a, was the de facto leader of the Nurhachi family except Juechang'an. The murder of Nurhachi was centered on the third ancestor, and the other four ancestors were involved.

Cao Yu also specifically pointed out a very important issue here, that is, during the time when these assassinations occurred, Wanhan Wangtai had just died, and Hada was fighting Yehe.Suo Chang'a and Hada were related by marriage, and Nurhaci happened to be married to Yehe at that time: that is, Yang Jipi betrothed Meng Guzhe to Nurhachi.

Although Meng Gu Zhezhe could not get married right away because Meng Gu Zhezhe was still young at that time, it is obvious that Yang Jipi gave Nurhachi a lot of military assistance.Therefore, the reason why the Fifth Patriarch was able to contend against and defeat Nurhachi in Nikanwailan was that apart from the fact that Nurhachi was not strong before, there was also the reason that Hada and Yehe were competing for hegemony.

However, as Hada declined day by day, Nurhachi personally killed his prospective father-in-law Yang Jipi because of his highly pragmatic design, and the backers behind both parties were actually gone.

At this time, it was obvious that he could only rely on hard power to speak, but Nurhachi quickly wiped out the Hunhe tribe, and his strength increased again.Then in the near future, Nurhachi annexed the Zhechen tribe again, and invaded the Dong'e tribe for "revenge", and finally won a city.

The balance of strength has clearly tilted towards Nurhachi, and the Fifth Patriarch family has long been behind.At the same time, Suo Chang'a himself died—a normal death.So the Five Patriarchs who opposed Nurhachi turned to Lao Liubaoshi as the head, struggling to support and refused to "collaborate" with Nurhachi.

Their attitude is that they will not be able to change their position for a while, and it is also because Nurhachi has annoyed Daming, so they have a wait-and-see attitude.

It stands to reason that at this time directly relying on Daming is of course the best choice, but unfortunately there is a problem: Daming's "divide and conquer" of Jurchens is also a matter of course, and the power of the Five Patriarchs is not enough even if they are added together, so they unexpectedly Because of "sorry", he didn't take the initiative to come to Cao Yu.

Of course, there is also a possibility that after Nurhachi designed and defeated Li Chengliang, the Five Patriarchs’ family might have been frightened—not because of Nurhachi’s great strength, but because he felt that Daming might have another "Chenghua Liting" at this time.

You know, Daming has never been kind to them.Before Chenghua Liting, Emperor Xianzong's order was even to "destroy its lair and eliminate its species"!
Now that Nurhachi has caused such a big mess, even if his five families go to find Daming to lose their sincerity, I am afraid that Daming will not listen to their explanation!What if Cao Dashuai directly ordered "drag it out and chop it up"?It's too fucking wrong to die.

So they simply shrank their heads and acted like turtles, hoping that if Nurhachi withstood this wave, they would be lucky enough to escape.As for going to Daming to explain the situation, it's better to wait until then.Presumably, if there is such a day, Daming should still welcome them - after all, they are the opposition of Nurhachi within the Ningguta family, and they are of certain use value.

With Cao Yu's explanation, what else does Gao Yimin not understand?At that time, he laughed and said to Cao Yu: "In this case, Caomin suggested that Zongrong should send someone to inform Nurhachi, saying that if he does not accept the proposal just now, then we will break Hetuala and let his Sixth Patriarch—what's his name?"

"Baoshi." Cao Yu replied.

"Oh, yes, Baoshi—let's let him be the commander of the left guard in Jianzhou." Gao Yimin said with a smile: "Presumably in this way, Nurhachi should have a clear understanding of his situation."

Of course, it stands to reason that the reason why Ting often killed Lao Tzu and let his son inherit it was nothing more than insisting on ruling barbarians with barbarians, so that these "barbarians" didn't even have a leader, and no one could be found to take responsibility if something happened.

Now that Baoshi is also the son of Fuman, it is not a problem to be the leader of the left guard in Jianzhou in name, and he is the current leader of the "five ancestors family". There is not much intention to resist.

Gao Yimin is Gao Yushi's representative, seeing his approval, Cao Yu was naturally not afraid of taking responsibility, and immediately said: "Okay, since that's the case, I will split up and send someone to inform Brother Nurhachi, and then send someone to call Baoshi come over."

"If Cao Zongrong bothers you, Caomin will immediately reply to the master to report this change."
