The Ming Dynasty tried its best to soothe them, show them affection, move them with reason, and promised benefits, but the stubborn Haixi Jurchens and Savage Jurchens were unwilling to kneel at the feet of the Ming Dynasty.
They want to stand.
There is a price to pay for standing.
The people of Ming Dynasty can stand up because the foundation stone under their feet is cast with the blood of martyrs. Why do the Jurchens stand?
That is the land of the Ming Dynasty, the territory of the Ming Dynasty. How can it be so cheap to live in the Ming Dynasty but not obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty?
Since you are unwilling to obey the supreme will of Ming Dynasty, you have no choice but to move.
What, you have lived here for hundreds of years and don’t want to move?
Why, do you want to be a nail-biter? Let’s make it clear first that there is no compensation for demolition in Daming.
I want to move away, but there are many cattle and sheep, and the fish I caught haven’t been eaten yet, so it doesn’t matter. It doesn't matter if the child is still young or the woman walks slowly. You can keep these things and just leave the man. Daming is not interested in you.
But the Ming Dynasty was a country of etiquette after all. We couldn't beat people with weapons just because they were slow to move. We needed a nobler, more moral, more tenable, and more convincing reason.
On February 8, Liu Changge of the Security Bureau reported: "The attack on the prince by pillars in Peking has been found out, and the craftsmen were organized to practice pillar raising skills to deliberately attack the prince. He is Mange Tusun, the eunuch who oversees rituals."
Zhu Yunwen was furious and ordered Mange Tusun to be captured.
After interrogation by the Security Bureau, Mange Tusun confessed to the crime.
Mange Tusun took advantage of the court to recruit Jurchens and employed them. As a Jurchen, he followed the court officials and eunuch Yi Shiha to Liaodong to recruit Jurchens. Later, he stayed in Tongzhou on the grounds of illness and got in touch with Vajra Zhangche of the White Lotus Sect. Looking for an opportunity, he entered Peiping, organized craftsmen to practice the pillar-standing killing technique, and planned the attack on the prince.
Later, Mange Tusun, Yi Shiha and others returned to the capital and created an alibi.
After the Zhuzhu incident, the Security Bureau relied on clues from the magnifying glass of the inner government and after a long interrogation, finally discovered Mange Tusun.
Things got serious. Mange Tusun's attack on the prince was originally the result of the collusion between the White Lotus Sect and the Yin soldiers. However, under the operation of the Security Bureau, it became an ironclad case that the Jurchens planned to murder the prince and the emperor.
The Ministry of War was angry and accused the Jurchen tribe of being audacious and sent troops to attack them.
The general of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion drew his sword and shouted, "If I don't kill the two-hearted Jurchen, I will never be a human being."
The Navy Commander's Office is involved and is willing to provide support.
Qin Tianjian watched the stars at night and said that there was a black evil spirit that wanted to invade the Ziwei star, but it could only be resolved with the spirit of war. It was mapped to the human world, which corresponds to the northeast.
On February 15th, Zhu Yunwen personally drafted an appeal to the Jurchens:
"Since ancient times, emperors have controlled the world with benevolence and harmony. However, the Yi Di are outside, and their ambitions are clear, and they want to go south. I have been merciful and persuaded, and the Jurchens in Jianzhou have served as servants, but they have not surrendered. However, there is a part of Haixi and a large part of the barbarians. To defend in danger, to be arrogant and arrogant, to have no intention of respecting the Lord, is not an obedient citizen of China!"
"Today, there is a Jurchen who is planning to assassinate the prince, intending to attack me and subvert the Central Plains. How can I tolerate it? I order the three armies of Liaodong to unleash their fury and show off the might of the Ming army. Under the attack of the army, those who are willing to return to our Ming Dynasty and Yongan China, Collect them. Those who carry our Ming dynasty on their backs and resist the advance of the sergeants will be killed..."
Full of murderous intent, the conquest message was released to the world. The post messenger carried the imperial decree and flags for 800 miles to report to the capital of Liaodong, just to shout two words: War!
Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Yishiha sat in his room, unable to stop crying.
But you (name) knocked on the door and pushed in without waiting for a response.
Yishiha wiped the corners of his eyes, looked at you, and took a deep breath: "Brother Man, Tusun, is dead, you know that, right?"
But you nodded heavily and said sadly: "Countless Jurchens will die. You have also seen the imperial court's message. War is inevitable. We, we can't save them."
Yishiha gritted his teeth and said, "Mange Tusun died unjustly, and those girls who are about to die are really unjustly accused."
But when you sit down, everyone is a Jurchen who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. They all want to make their former tribes feel better, although they actively cooperate with the court to recruit various Jurchen tribes.
Although the words were worn out, some people were unwilling to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
But you sigh: "If the Ming army had not stationed in Liaodong, the Jurchen tribes would have surrendered long ago. Speaking of which, there is still a problem with the imperial decree, and the policy of restraining the emperor is not very good. The Ming Dynasty is better than the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchen troops are better than the Jurchens, but they have to send more troops The Ming army wants to assimilate all the Jurchen tribes into Ming people, no wonder those Jurchens resisted."
Yi Shiha???????????????Looking at Keyou who was complaining, he quickly said: "Be careful, we are also people of the Ming Dynasty now."
But you kicked the stool and gritted your teeth and said: "You are a supervisor in the Bureau of Ceremonies and a member of the Ming Dynasty. As for me, I am a slave, and Mange Tusun is also a slave! If we hadn't been needed for recruitment, we would have gone out in a row There is no chance for this palace! Yi Shiha, I know you are afraid of death, but we are Jurchens, and our people are facing a massacre."
Why doesn't Yi Shiha know the current situation, but what can he do?
Ask yourself, can the Ming Dynasty really not tolerate the Jurchens?
No, it's not.
The Ming Dynasty accepted the surrendered Jurchens and the surrendered Mongols. It was not that they were not entrusted with important responsibilities, and they were not purged and massacred.
At this point, Daming means what he says.
As long as the subjects obeyed the orders of the imperial court, no matter whether they were military generals or civil servants, whether they were Jurchen or Mongolian, the Ming Dynasty would treat them equally.
Zhu Yunwen's butcher knife was pointed at the disobedient person.
Yishiha lifted up the fallen stool, looked at Keyou and said, "If we want to survive, we must be absolutely loyal. Stop complaining. Many people die, but more people survive. As long as the tribe does not If they continue to be destroyed from generation to generation, what's wrong with surrendering at the feet of the Ming Dynasty? I don't understand, they can kneel at the feet of the Yuan Ting, why can't they kneel at the feet of the Ming Ting?"
They all kneel, but it makes a difference who kneels.
But you didn’t want to talk to Yi Shiha anymore, and said with disappointment, “When your loyalty can’t protect your people, what’s the use of keeping your loyalty?”
Yishiha was shocked. He stood up and pulled Keyou who was about to leave: "You can't do anything stupid. Don't forget, half of the Jianzhou Jurchen's blood is still flowing in your body."
But you were so bitter that you broke away Yi Shiha's hand, opened the door, and looked at the young prisoner Wang Yue standing at the door. The wind blew over, making it a little cold.
Yi Shiha lost two of his closest friends, one was beheaded and the other was beaten to death.
Zhu Yunwen did not embarrass the loyal Yishuha, but still gave him great importance and ordered the officials accompanying Yishuha to go to Liaodong again, mainly responsible for recruiting the remaining Jurchens who were captured in the subsequent war.
Northeast, Huerhai-Riverside.
In early March, the glaciers were thawing and the weather was starting to get warmer.
Military tents were densely stationed on both sides of the Huerhai River, three miles to the north was the Songhua River. Fifty thousand sergeants, 40,000 of whom came from Liaodong Dusi and 10,000 from the Beijing army that moved to the northeast.
The bugle sounded, the sergeants put on their armor and swords, checked their crossbows and muskets, each of the squatting cannons was lifted, and boxes of well-covered gunpowder boxes were placed next to the saddle.
The drums sound and the military forms.
Yang Wen rode a tall horse, holding the reins in one hand, and walked slowly in front of the sergeant. Behind him were Mao Zheng, Hua Ju and other generals.
In the Northeast, the spring breeze comes late, but what is coming will never be missed.
Yang Wen looked at the soldiers majestically, drove his horse to a high slope, and shouted sternly: "The mountains, rivers, land, and trees in the Northeast are all owned by the Ming Dynasty. Living in the land of the Ming Dynasty, one should listen to the orders of the Ming Dynasty monarch, kneel down, bow down, and surrender. Today There are Haixi Jurchens and barbarian Jurchens who are resisting the imperial court's appeasement, intending to defend the Northeast and split the Ming Dynasty! They also sent Jurchens to attack and kill the prince and the emperor. God cannot tolerate it! All soldiers!"
"exist!"
Fifty thousand soldiers, the thunder shook the sky.
Canglang——
??????????????? Yang Wen pulled out his sword and raised it high above his head: "We are entrusted with the emperor's imperial decree to conquer the Haixi Jurchens and Northeastern Jurchens. Once the war begins, we should do our best to kill the enemy. Perform meritorious service and serve the Emperor. Military order, drive those who kill the Jurchens and disloyal people away from our territory of the Ming Dynasty! The Ming Dynasty is mighty, long live the Emperor!"
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty, long live the emperor!"
The soldiers shouted.
The sound waves blew away, the leaves in the forest rustled, and countless birds soared into the sky, circling without daring to land. The ice floes in the river cracked and sank into the river with the current...
Yang Wen raised his sword again, and the sound suddenly died down.
Looking at the well-disciplined army, Yang Wen shouted: "When Taizu gave me a poem to go to war, today I will give this poem to you as well. Listen up: The general marching south is brave and courageous, and his waist is hung with autumn water. God's sword. The horse is ringing, the armor is solemn, the wind is blowing, the flag is high, the sun and the moon are high. There will be a unicorn in the world, and the ants in the hole will not escape. On the day when the big copper pillar returns, the spring in the courtyard will be celebrated..."
"Back then, during the southern expedition, Lin Kuanyu's party was pacified. Today, during the northern expedition, we, as men of ability, will show those Jurchen ants that there is no way to escape under the power of God! Go to the expedition!"
"Go to war!"
Mao Zheng, Hua Ju and other generals returned to their troops, each leading his troops and marching in separate groups.
Considering that the Jurchens, the savages in the northwest, have the largest number of troops and are the strongest, Yang Wen leads 20,000 troops and is responsible for the northwest campaign. The route is also easy to choose. Fight all the way along the Songhua River and drill through until you see Sakhalin Island.
Mao Zheng led 15,000 troops and was responsible for the conquest of the Haixi and Savage Jurchen tribes in the Northeast. The remaining due north direction was handed over to Huaju, with a force of 15,000.
In this military operation, Liaodong's main force was used.
Zhu Yunwen was never one to be lucky in the military. Facing the weak, dispersed, and small-scale Jurchen tribes, he adopted a lion-fighting-a-rabbit strategy, and also used an all-out strategy, raising 50,000 troops to attack with all his strength.
There are too many stories of underestimating the enemy in history. Zhu Yunwen did not want to fight and destroy the Jurchens who did not surrender. Instead, he became stronger with more fights. Solve it in one go, plow the court and sweep the hole. Even if there is a God of War seed, it will be killed directly.
Some political matters cannot be brought to the table. But for the sake of the overall interests, those who should be crushed must still be crushed. The ants will die, and the living ants will forget.
Decades from now, no one will know or mention this dark history...
