Chapter 413 Capital Defense Battle 8

When the Ming Dynasty was strong, these Mongolians had to choose to obey in order to survive, and even helped the Han people to attack their own tribe. As the Ming Dynasty gradually declined, people with discerning eyes had sensed the crisis and began to look for a way out for themselves and their families. Returning to the clan was one of the options.

Someone in the five Khalkha tribes knew two Ming army generals of Mongolian origin, who happened to be stationed at Taolinkou Pass. After several contacts, they were willing to act as inside agents and open the door when the Jurchens attacked.

Although the location of Taolinkou has entered the control range of Duoyan tribe, it can be reached by turning westward not far from the territory of Khalkha Five tribes. Generally speaking, herdsmen don't live too close to the border wall. As long as they don't make the noise too loud and delay it for too long, the Duoyan tribe shouldn't notice.

The Fifth Khalkha Division has selected the route, prepared the logistics materials, and even the breakthrough point and internal response are in place. The pressure has shifted to the Jurchens. Who should lead the team to take the risk?

Although everything is ready, it is not difficult to break through the border wall, but after entering the territory of the Ming Dynasty, you will face several times, ten times or even dozens of times of encirclement and interception by the Ming army. The risk is still very high. If you are not careful, you will be surrounded and annihilated. Can't escape either.

Therefore, the person leading the team must not only be bold but also careful, and have a high reputation. He must be able to convince his soldiers to obey orders 100%, and be willing to follow them even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.

Nurhachi himself certainly has this ability, but he certainly cannot go. Looking further down, there are many people with this ability, starting with several brothers and nephews.

When Nurhachi started his career, he relied on fighting brothers and father-son soldiers in battle. He is the eldest and has four younger brothers. The second brother Mulhaqi, the third brother Shuerhaqi, the fourth brother Yarhaqi, and the fifth brother Bayala.

Although these five brothers are not all brothers, none of them is a coward. They were very united at the beginning of the army and fought with all their lives. This allowed Nurhaci to stand out among many tribes.

However, there are also side effects, that is, in the life of fighting all year round, it is inevitable to get injured and die. The fourth child Yarhaqi died in the battle in his early twenties. The second child Mulhaqi and the fifth child Bayala fought the most bravely and suffered the most injuries. Years ago, when the body was no longer strong, the old injuries immediately recurred, and he could no longer lead the army in battle.

Only the third child, Shuerhaqi, has followed his eldest brother to this day. Unfortunately, these brothers and sisters have lost themselves in the face of power. As a result, Shuerhaqi and his two sons conspired to establish a new mountain. After the incident was exposed, Nurhachi was executed for treason.

Several brothers were either crippled or dead, but Nurhaci did not lack brave and resourceful helpers. He also had a large number of sons and nephews, all of whom were experienced in fighting for many years. Among them, there are three outstanding ones, the eldest son Chu Ying, the second son Daishan, and the nephew Amin.

The idea of ​​sending a surprise attack to retaliate against the Ming Dynasty was proposed by Chu Ying, who had just been deprived of the power of assistant government, which symbolized the position of heir. However, Nurhaci did not intend to really depose his eldest son, and wanted to give him a chance to prove, so he The important task of leading the troops on the expedition was given to Chu Ying.

If you win here, it will be a great achievement. If you go with the flow and restore the auxiliary power, others will have nothing to say. If it fails and the heir is changed to someone else, Chu Ying cannot blame his father for being partial.

It can be seen from this that even if the emperor is ruthless, who can really turn a blind eye to his own flesh and blood. In any case, Nurhachi also wanted to prevent his many nephews from having too fierce fights over power.

But Guang didn't feel comfortable sending Chu Ying to attack Nurhachi alone. The eldest son is indeed experienced and able to fight, and has repeatedly defeated more with less. But everyone has shortcomings. Chu Ying is more stubborn and believes too much that force can solve everything, and he is becoming more and more proud.

At this time, someone needs to be able to remind you in time, and this person must have some weight, otherwise what is said is as meaningless as what is not said. So besides Nurhaci himself, who else can persuade or check Chu Ying? The answer is yes, and there is more than one. As mentioned before, Nurhaci started his career by hunting tiger brothers, but he only had five brothers after all, and one against a hundred would not make a big difference. Therefore, there should be other people around Nurhachi to help.

Yes, there were others, and not just one, but five. These five people are Guarjia Fei Yingdong, Niu Hulu Eyidu, Dong E Heheli, Tongjia Huerhan, and Juercha Anfeiyanggu.

People who are familiar with the history of the Qing Dynasty and the Manchus don't need to wonder who these people are. They can roughly understand their status just by looking at their surnames. There were eight major surnames in the Manchu and Qing dynasties in later generations, among which Guarjia, Tongjia, and Niu Colu were among them.

Aobai, Ronglu, Guan Mucun, Guan Zhilin, Zhou Haimei, and Guan Xiaotong are the Guarjia family, and several concubines of the Qing emperors are also Guarjia family, but the Gualjia family has never given birth to a queen.

There are many historical celebrities of the Tong Jia family, such as Longkodo, but the women in this family seem to be more powerful. Starting from Nurhaci, the queens of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Daoguang, and Xianfeng emperors were all Tong Jia.

The most famous of the Niu Colu family is Heshenhe. In addition, the queens of Huang Taiji, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang and Xianfeng also came from the Niu Colu family.

The Juercha family and the Dong E family are relatively unfamiliar, but the Juercha family has Dahai. It was he who further perfected the Manchu script and was regarded as a great scholar among the Manchu people. Therefore, the Choercha family received preferential treatment. Families with different surnames could wear the purple belt of the royal family and never have to participate in the beauty show.

The most famous woman in Dong E's family is still Concubine Dong E, the favorite woman of Emperor Shunzhi. But the queen was granted the title posthumously, and her life experience has always been a mystery. She didn't even leave her name.

These five people are old friends who started a business from scratch with Nurhachi, and they have the support of a large ethnic group behind them. This is one of the main factors for Nurhachi's rapid rise.

The so-called thirteen suits of armor alone have been eaten up by other ethnic groups long ago, and not even the bones and dregs are left. The so-called historical records are not necessarily wrong, but it is certainly difficult to get a full picture by just looking at the literal meaning.

The person Nurhaci chose to assist Chu Ying was Juercha Anfeyangu, the oldest and most stable among the five veterans who had a life-long friendship. This man is Nurhachi's younger brother. They are the same age. They are very good at judging the situation on the battlefield and are known as Haidongqing.

The eldest son is brave and good at fighting, and the older brothers know how to advance and retreat. The combination of one old and one young is the best combination Nurhaci can come up with. Moreover, the relationship between Chu Ying and his brothers and heroes was not very good. He only respected his uncle and could listen to some advice.
