As mentioned earlier, in order to please the Ming Dynasty, Nikan Wailan flattered Li Chengliang and asked Li Chengliang to open the city of Gule and let Li Chengliang kill more than half of them. Nurhachi's ancestors and father also died unexpectedly in this chaos.
Nikan Wailan clearly knew that he was a Jurchen from Jianzhou, so how could he betray Atai? Even Nurhachi himself said: "If Nikanwailan hadn't betrayed my grandfather and father, how could my grandfather have died? How could he have died in this disaster?"
This Nikan Wailan is the city lord of Tulum City, and Tulum City and Gule City are forty miles apart, both to the east of Shenyang. Of course, there is a conflict of interest, and all the flattery is nothing more than the word "profit". Economics is the foundation, which is a clear display of the trend and context of history.
After the disaster in Gule City, Nurhachi spent several months in order to take revenge and increased his thirteen suits of armor to about eighty or ninety men. Out of confidence in the abilities of himself and his subordinates, he hurriedly attacked Tulum. city. In the eleventh year of Wanli, Nurhaci attacked the city of Tulun. The news reached the Ming court. There were many officials in the government and the public who advocated settling the matter, and Nikan Wailan had no choice but to be abandoned by the Ming court. Why did Nikan Wailan fail to get help while flattering Ming? Presumably, Emperor Taiyue died of illness the year before. How could the chief minister of the cabinet, who had been reorganizing the finances during his lifetime, know that after his sudden death due to overwork, he was almost beaten to death by having his coffin opened? In such a political situation, stability and peace Doing nothing may be the wisest decision for an official. At this time, the city of Tulun was captured. Nurhaci really led dozens of his people to capture the city of Tulun. When he was looking for Nikan Wailan, one of his men suddenly said: "Nikan Wailan has escaped! He went straight to Jia. It’s Ban City.”
Jiaban City was built near Fushun City with the support of Li Chengliang because Nikan Wailan led the Ming army to kill Atai. After Nikan Wailan led his wife and servants to flee to Jiapan City, Nurhaci jumped in and captured Nikan Wailan's tribe out of anger and helplessness.
When Nurhaci captured Jiapan City and had no choice but to go back, it became increasingly difficult to sleep during these days. The hatred in his heart mixed with the shame of not being able to avenge the situation filled the head of this young man in his twenties. It was not until three years later, in July of the fourteenth year of Wanli, that Nurhachi received the news that Nikan Wailan was actually behind Erhun City in the Hunhe River Department. He ordered his men to send troops immediately, and the subsequent food and grass orders were prepared during the march. It is enough to show the decision-making power and firm belief of this young man. After running continuously in the starry night, he suddenly attacked the location of Nikan Wailan.
Nikan Wailan was not found after entering the city. Could it be that the information was false? Just when Nurhachi was lamenting that he failed to capture his enemy, when he boarded the city and looked around, he discovered that among the dozens of people fleeing outside the city, there was one person who looked very similar to Nikan Wailan. How could he bear this? He led his troops out of the city to chase dozens of people who were fleeing and defeated. Nurhachi and others easily shot and killed the eight people who fled. At this time, Nikan Wailan could only go to Fushun to temporarily save his life. life.
Fushun was under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty and was a directly subordinate area. When Nurhachi learned that Nikan Wailan was in Fushun, he immediately asked the Fushun Ming army for his enemies and accused the other party of protecting Nikan Wailan. When the Ming army saw that Nurhaci was becoming more powerful now, if the enemy was really angry and attacked the city, would they also massacre all the soldiers and civilians in Fushun? Secondly, they were a group of soldiers guarding the border, and they did not want to do this because of this. There was hatred and war with the Jurchens; for the third time, Nikan Wailan was now a Jurchen, but was beaten by the Jurchens and turned away. Is it really worth using him? After thinking about it, he decided not to provide him with asylum and informed Nurhaci of the news.
After Nurhachi learned that the Ming army in Fushun was so "reasonable", he hurriedly ordered his general Zhaisa and about 40 people to go to Fushun to arrest Nikan Wailan. Nikan Wailan saw that the situation was not right and fled in a hurry, but it was too late. There was no way out for a long time. Zhaisa and others beheaded him on the spot, cut off his head and brought it back to Nurhachi. Since then, Nurhaci has become more powerful and avenged his ancestors and father.
Nikan Wailan deserved to die, not only because of his flattery that led to the murder of Jue Chang'an and Takeshi, but also because he was a Jurchen and had competed with Nurhachi for the leadership of Jianzhou Left Guard. Regardless of selfishness or justice, emotional or political considerations, Nikan Wailan and Nurhachi can only live one or the other.
