During the time when the Ming Dynasty was commemorating the memorial, things also happened in Liaodong. The most important thing was that the Nurhachi brothers successfully passed through the Hada tribe and arrived at the Yehe tribe. They were warmly welcomed by the two Yehe Beile - especially It was "Xicheng Baylor" Qing Jiali who paid special attention to Nurhaci.
Beile is the leader of the Jurchen tribe. Generally speaking, one Beile is more common, but the Yehe tribe is more interesting. It has two Beile - the two Beile of the Yehe tribe are brothers. After their rise, they occupied two strategic places. Each built a city, one in the east and one in the west.
Therefore, Yangji Niu (also known as Yangji Niu), which was built in the east, was called "Dongcheng Baylor", while Qingjia Ni, which was built in the west, was called "Xicheng Baylor".
Yehebu is the most influential among the Haixi Jurchens, and it played a huge role even during the entire Tatar period. Regarding the origin of Yehe tribe, there are usually two theories that it comes from Mongolia and Jurchen.
The main lineages of Ye He are as follows:
Xinggen Darhan - Xierke Minggatu - Qilgani - Chukongge - Taichu - Qingjia Niu (West City) Yangji Niu (Dong City) - Bu Zhai (Xi City) Nalin Bulu (East City) - Buyangu (West City) Jintai Stone (Nalin Buludi, East City).
Then Ye He's tribe died - Niyaha - (Nalan) Pearl - (Nalan) Xingde. The latter two have a very high appearance rate in Qing palace dramas, so they probably need no introduction.
During the Xinggen Darhan era, he accepted the position of commander of the Tarum Guards of Ming Chengzu and led his troops to Kaiyuan North. In the 20th year of Chenghua (1484), the third ancestor Qirgani was appointed as the capital commander of Haixi Tarumu Guards, and began to pay tribute frequently to Beijing, constantly learning about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
However, at that time, the Yehe tribe and even the Jurchens as a whole, due to extremely backward productivity levels, lived a difficult life. If there was a slight natural disaster, they would either starve to death or have to come out to rob. Qilgani led the tribe to attack Mingbian many times and eventually died.
In the thirteenth year of Jiajing (1534), Zhu Kongge, the leader of the Yehe tribe, led his people to move south and settled on the north bank of the Yehe River. The Yehe tribe moved to the Yehe River Basin for a very simple and crude purpose, which was to covet trade with the Ming Dynasty. However, the interests of the Yehe tribe were in direct conflict with the Hada tribe at this time, and they both wanted to compete for the trading rights of Kaiyuan Horse Market. Therefore, Yehe and Hada have always been at war with each other. Since Hada had been implementing pro-Ming policies since the Wang Zhong period, it received direct support from the Ming Dynasty.
"Minister Ye He, Chu Kongge, was in trouble, and Wang Ji Wailan (Wang Zhong) took over, seizing 700 tributes and 13 villages under his command" - Taigan was seized and presented to the Ming court.
Ye He was attacked in turn by the Ming Dynasty and the Hada tribe, and his vitality was severely damaged. After the death of Tai Gun, the dragons were leaderless and fell into chaos. At this time, the two brothers Qing Jia Niu and Yang Ji Niu (one said to be Tai Ganzi and the other said to be Tai Gan's nephew) joined forces to eliminate other competitors in Ye He's tribe and began to govern together.
It is not easy to seek development among the chaotic Jurchen tribes, and one must have political acumen. Therefore, first of all, Qing Jiali and Yang Jiniao urgently need to recognize their situation.
Qilgani, Zhu Kongge, and Taigan were either killed by the Ming army or captured by Hada. On the basis that Ye He's own strength was not strong enough, it was very unwise to be an enemy of the Ming court or even Hada.
Secondly, on this basis, because Hada (Wangtai) was too powerful, it began to be gradually suppressed by the Ming court. In this case, Ye He needed to have a good relationship with the Ming court and gain the support of the Ming court.
Thirdly, Ye He is weaker than Hada at this time, so Ye He also wants to make good friends with Hada. Qing Jia Ni and Yang Ji Ni married their sisters to Wang Tai, and Yang Ji Ni also married Wang Tai's daughter to show their respect.
Finally, Qingjia Ni and Yang Ji Ni built two cities in the east and west to control the Yehe tribe. This is where "Dongcheng Baylor" and "Xicheng Baylor" came from.
From here, Yehebu began to prosper. Only with a correct understanding of one's own strengths and environment can one develop the right strategy, and coupled with the right execution, can achieve the desired results.
At the same time, with the expansion of Wangtai's strength, Ming's attitude towards Wangtai began to reverse after Wangtai professed his sweat. The Huifa and Ula tribes also began to defy Wang Taiyang.
Qing Jia Niu and Yang Jia Niu seized the opportunity. On the one hand, they took advantage of the internal contradictions in Hada and surrendered many Hada tribesmen. On the other hand, they also planned to raise the banner of revenge and launch a direct attack on Hada.
At this time, Nurhaci came, and Qingjia Niu immediately took a fancy to Nurhaci's role.
The current situation is this: Ye He is hostile to Hada; the Jianzhou right guard was originally hostile to Hada, but the Jianzhou right guard was just beaten violently by Li Chengliang, Atai was destroyed, and the right guard's strength was greatly damaged; the Jianzhou left guard was weaker because of his previous strength. Weak and lacking an "alliance leader" figure, no matter who he prefers in his heart, he is basically neutral in face.
What does this mean?
Qing Jiali believes that since the left and right guards of Jianzhou are now leaderless, if the Yehe tribe draws Nurhachi over, for example, as a son-in-law, and then supports him to become Baylor of the left and right guards of Jianzhou - or at least It's Baylor, the left guard of his own Jianzhou - then Yehe has a good ally south of Hada.
The Yehe tribe is to the north (or northwest) of the Hada tribe, and Jianzhou is to the south of the Hada tribe. Together with the Huifa and Ula tribes (to the east and northeast of the Hada tribe) who are also dissatisfied with the Hada tribe, the Hada tribe Basically in a state of being surrounded and beaten by a group of people.
Under such circumstances, unless Daming personally stepped in to intervene, the Hada tribe would be defeated with one enemy against four, and as long as they were defeated, there would be almost no place to run.
After this calculation, Nurhaci is simply a good son-in-law who has been sent to his door. With his joining, Ye He's encirclement of Hada will be completed.
Of course, this encirclement cannot include the Ming Dynasty southwest of Hada, because during this period, if the Ming Dynasty is included, or if the Ming Dynasty insists on protecting a certain Jurchen tribe, then this tribe can directly become the king of the Jurchen , and you’re talking about a ghost?
The reason why the Hada tribe was able to rise to the throne in the early years and dominate all the Jurchen tribes was because it acted as a hardcore dog and recognized Dad Ming. If Dad Ming said he wanted to chase away the chicken, he would never chase the dog. Therefore, it can develop quickly.
But Ming’s father’s policy is not stupid. The Jurchen tribes must be balanced, and no one can be too strong. It is a consistent policy to support the weak and attack the strong. Therefore, after Wang Tai became a sweat, Ming began to obviously alienate him - this is also what Ye He dared to do. The fundamental reason for attacking Hada.
At this point, some readers may want to ask, what happened to Nurhaci in history? His process of unifying the Jurchens seems to have been relatively smooth. Why did Daming's father suddenly stop talking, or become so easy to talk to?
Because Nurhachi was so lucky, he had a good time to unify the state and unify the Jurchens - the Japanese Rebellion in Renchen.
The Imjin Japanese Rebellion had been fought for so long, and it was already very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to support an army that could reach 70,000 to 80,000 men in the Korean War. How could they have any spare time to take care of the Jurchens?
In the original history, the Ming Dynasty relied most heavily on force to intimidate the Jurchens, which was the huge servant army under Li Chengliang. However, this army first fought a battle in Ningxia, and then fell into the quagmire of Korea. In the end, it suffered huge losses. The death of Li Rusong It is directly related to the fact that the Li family's servants suffered too many casualties and their combat effectiveness was severely reduced.
Under such circumstances, Nurhaci was able to successfully unify Jianzhou and unify the Jurchens.
Therefore, the luck in the late Ming Dynasty was particularly bad. This is no joke. It was really bad luck in all aspects.
Now, as in history, Nurhaci has taken the first step in his rise: he has gained the attention of Qing Jia Ni, married Qing Jia Ni's daughter, and reciprocated his father-in-law's expectations - he said that he will go south immediately and must return. Revitalize the left guard of Jianzhou, be a good son-in-law of Ye He, and seal Hada to death.
Under Qing Jiali's earnest expectation, Nurhaci quickly went south to defend with his newly married Ye Hemei.
----------
In other words, there is a lot written about the end of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone is relatively familiar with the situation of Houjin and the Eight Banners after their rise, but not many friends may know about the Jurchens before Nurhachi started his army. I wonder if there are many interested readers?
