In the seventeenth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty granted Nurhachi the post of governor of the left guard of Jianzhou. Nurhachi had the title of the Ming Dynasty. He was very proud of his title and served in Yehe, Hada, Huifa, and Wula.
He showed off in front of the leader of the Jurchen tribe. Later, when the Ming army fought against the Japanese and aided the DPRK, an official from the Ministry of War once suggested that Nurhaci’s troops be recruited to fight in DPRK. Nurhaci also wanted to serve, but for some reason the trip was not possible. At that time
Of course Nurhachi was not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but he was still in awe and came to Beijing to pay tribute in person many times——
In the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, Nurhaci had tens of thousands of subordinates under his command. He was very powerful and busy annexing Hada.
Chi's ambition, Shang Shuji cried out that "the chieftaincy is becoming more and more arrogant, and there is a hidden danger in the east" and asked the court to prepare for war in advance and keep an eye on the situation. However, Emperor Wanli was afraid of trouble, because if he wanted to use troops to conquer, he would need soldiers and pay, and Emperor Wanli was afraid of using them.
His royal inner treasury, and the ministers did not dare to take it. After all, the slave chiefs did not rebel, so the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Pedestrians sent letters urging Nurhaci to pay tribute as soon as possible. Nurhaci used the Ming court and
Officials wanted to save face and fear trouble, so in June of the 36th year of Wanli, they invited Lieutenant General Wu of Liaoyang and the king of Fushun to kill the white horse at Jinshi Terrace to offer sacrifices to heaven. The two sides swore to carve a monument, stipulating that personnel from both sides should not cross the border between each other. The boundary monument should be between the country and the country.
It is a major matter between countries. How can a deputy general and a garrison have such rights? With Nurhachi's strength at the time, he did not have the courage to establish a country, so he played a trick. This can be seen from the inscription, which is roughly as follows:
"-Everyone guards the emperor's borders. Anyone who dares to cross the border privately, whether Manchu or Han, will be killed without mercy. If he sees it but does not kill, he will be punished. Net. The Ming Dynasty has betrayed this alliance. Governor of Guangning
, Chief Soldier, Liaoyang Dao, Deputy General, Kaiyuan Dao, Shenjiang and other officials of the six yamen will suffer disaster. If Manchuria loses this alliance, it will also suffer disaster."
Judging from the six words "Each guard the emperor's border", Nurhachi regarded Jianzhou as a local political power of the Ming Dynasty. Liaoyang Road and Kaiyuan Road were respectively guarded by the Ming emperor's borders. This was to participate in the Jinshitai Agreement.
Vice General Wu and Wang Shoubei can accept it, but they will kill people as soon as they cross the border. Net. How can there be such a law in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the inscription calls the Ming Dynasty and Manchuria in opposition. This is clearly a division of tribunals and territorial divisions.
But at that time, it was already a fact that Nurhachi had separatist rule in Haixi, and Nurhaci decisively bribed Vice General Wu and Wang Shou, and Wu and Wang were urged by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, eager to restore Nurhachi
After paying tribute, he agreed to set up a boundary monument. This boundary monument assigned all the six Kuandian forts of 800 miles that Li Chengliang developed in the early years of Wanli to Nurhaci——
Nurhaci's goal was achieved. At that time, he went to Beijing to pay tribute with his younger brother Surhachi. The Ming Dynasty was trying to make a fat man look fat, so Nurhaci paid tribute to some Haixi native products such as ginseng, mink, and Dongzhu.
kind. What they got were more and more practical rewards, such as cotton cloth and farm tools, which the Jurchens were in urgent need of. On the surface, the Ming Dynasty accepted the tribute from the slave chiefs, but secretly it suffered a big loss, and Nurhachi borrowed the tribute.
He took the opportunity to explore the strength of the Ming Dynasty's border defenses along the way. After some inspections, he believed that although the Ming Dynasty was huge, it had a weak official system and lax armaments, so there was nothing to fear. From then on, he had a contempt for the Ming Dynasty. Finally, this year, he also
It was on the first day of the first lunar month in the forty-fourth year of Wanli that the country was founded brazenly, and the country was named Dajin. He claimed to be the wise khan who had brought up all the nations. He took the forty-fourth year of Wanli as the first year of the destiny of Dajin. From then on, he called the Ming Dynasty the Southern Dynasty. He Nurhachi seemed to be
The lord of a country——
In the first few months after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Nurhachi was still a little uneasy, fearing that the Ming army would attack Jianzhou. At this time, Nurhaci was not confident enough. Although he was invincible among the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong, he had never fought against the Ming army.
I was still afraid, but after waiting for a few months, I received an edict signed by the Ming Emperor condemning him. It is said that Nurhaci laughed loudly, so he killed more than 50 people in early June, so he said he had crossed the line.
The tragedy of the Han people, and also said that the boundary trespassers were executed in accordance with the Boundary Monument Alliance's oath, and asked the Ming Dynasty to severely punish the Qinghe guerrilla Feng Yougong——
Zhang Yuan learned about the above causes and consequences from the Di newspaper over the years. In the latest Di newspaper, Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong, reported that he had detained the two envoys sent by Nurhaci, Gangu Li and Fang Jina, and asked Nurhaci to
Hachi captured Hu'erhan, the murderer of the Han people. At the same time, Li Weihan asked the court to prepare troops to supplement the pay of the Liao soldiers. If Nurhachi did not hand over the murderer, the Ming Dynasty would have to go to war. Nurhachi's arrogance could only be used.
Only soldiers can suppress——
Zhang Yuan saw Li Weihan's memorial in the newspaper copy room of the Hanlin Academy and was extremely angry. The Han people in Qinghe just crossed the border and cut down some trees, but they were killed by Nurhachi. This is evident from the cruelty and domineering nature of the slave chief.
!
The two scribes of the Di newspaper looked at each other. Zhang Xiuzuan, who had always spoken kindly, was angry at a Di newspaper. It was really rare, but Zhang Yuan knew that this was the beginning of Nurhachi's massacre of Han people. Nurhaci
He is extremely hostile to the Han people. The suffering of the Liao people has come, but now he is unable to rescue and prevent all this from happening. The Ming government institutions are large and corrupt, and their work efficiency is low. This is not something he can change in a short time. He needs time -
—
Zhang Yuan did not drink tea and read in the Hanlin Academy that day. The crisis was approaching. He went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to visit Qi Chengshun and his examination master Zhang Heming. Both of them were doctors in the Ministry of War. Zhang Yuan told them about the interests of Liaodong.
It is necessary to garrison Kaiyuan, Qingyun Fort, Jingan Fort, and Chaihe Fort with heavy troops, and then unite the Yehe tribe in Beiguan to fight against the slave chiefs. Fushun and Qinghe areas will be the first place where the slave chiefs use their troops.
Deploying elite soldiers and good generals to guard the country were all suggestions he made in "On the Construction of a State by Old Slaves" written at the end of last year. At that time, Qi Chengshun submitted it on his behalf, and then Nurhaci actually established the country. This was something that the officials of the Ministry of War at the time
It caused quite a stir. It was believed that Zhang Yuan could know what happened thousands of miles away, but that was all. Emperor Wanli did not give any reply. After discussion with the officials of the Ministry of War, he sent guerrillas Zhou Daqi and Ma Shinan to lead a group of soldiers.
Thousands of gunners went to help Ye He's tribe defend the city to prevent Ye He's tribe from being annexed by Nurhaci, but Fushun and Qinghe areas still did not have heavy defenses. Net.
Zhang Heming led Zhang Yuan to visit Wei Yangmeng, the right minister of the Ministry of War. There was no chancellor in the Ministry of War. Wei Yangmeng, the right minister of the Ministry of War, was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War. Zhang Yuan told Wei Yangmeng that only one thousand gunners and artillerymen sent to Ye He's tribe were not enough. At least three thousand, and
To be equipped with the latest flintlock muskets and iron cannons such as Crouching Tiger Cannon to help defend the city, Fushun must heavily fortify its defenses as soon as possible. Fushun guerrilla Li Yongfang cannot handle this important task...
Wei Yangmeng was indifferent to Zhang Yuan's generous remarks. He only reasoned that the emperor was unwilling to go to war rashly, and that the Liaodong army had been short of three out of ten salaries since this spring. The Ministry of War still had nowhere to raise funds. Without money, nothing could be done. He also said that Zhang Xiuzhuan could do it on his own.
Shangshu discussed state affairs, and it seems that Wei Yangmeng was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan, a young Hanlin who had just been released from prison, dictating matters in the Ministry of War.
Zhang Yuan had no choice but to visit his teacher Yang Lian, Sun Chengzong and his senior brother Xu Guangqi from Zhan Shifu. Yang Lian was from the household department and was not very familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of War. Of course, it was most appropriate to report matters to the Ministry of War.
But there was no one in Donglin named Bingke Shizhong, and one of them, Zhao Xingbang, who had followed Liu Tingyuan to impeach Zhang Yuan, said that this person must be hopeless. Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered that another Bingkeqi Shizhong
In this incident, Xiong Mingyu is from Qi. I wonder what his relationship with Qi Shijiao is like?
The next day, Zhang Yuan visited Qi Shijiao again and asked about Xiong Mingyu's close relationship with Qi Shijiao. He was immediately introduced by Qi Shijiao to visit Xiong Mingyu and asked Xiong Mingyu for advice on his "Liaodong Crisis" written by him. Xiong Mingyu said
At the meeting, he helped Zhang Yuan's momentum.
On the morning of the sixth day of August, four memorials from Zhang Yuan, Xiong Mingyu, Xu Guangqi, and Sun Chengzong were delivered to the cabinet. Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, saw that these four memorials were about Liaodong affairs, and said to Wu Daonan, the second assistant: "Brother Huifu, yesterday
Has the memorial from Li Weihan, governor of Liaodong, been handed over to the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"
Wu Daonan said: "It has been handed over."
Fang Congzhe said: "Governor Li has submitted the latest memorial about the Han people in Qinghe who were killed across the border, and the matter has been generally resolved. However, the four Zhang Yuan and others used Governor Li's previous memorial to talk about Liao affairs, which was quite alarmist. These four copies
I will vote for the memorial." He immediately wrote down the handling opinions and handed it to Wu Daonan for signature. Wu Daonan said: "Sun Chengzong is familiar with border affairs.
, the two Xiongs are also worried about Liao affairs, brother Zhonghan is better to be cautious."
Fang Congzhe said: "At present, Liaodong is safe and sound, so it is better not to act rashly. Governor Li has properly resolved the matter of Han people being killed across the border, thus saving the face of Ming Dynasty. If we continue to cause trouble, it will be difficult to deal with it."
Seeing what Fang Congzhe said, Wu Daonan had no choice but to give up.
On the eighth day of August, Xiong Mingyu, from the Military Department, received a memorial from the emperor at Huangji Gate. In addition to the memorials from him, Zhang Yuan, Sun Chengzong, and Xu Guangqi, there was also a memorial from Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong. Zhang Yuan and the four requested to strengthen Liaodong.
The emperor did not agree to the memorial to replenish the army's military pay. Xiong Mingyu read Li Weihan's memorial and found out that Nurhaci had already relented and brought twenty of the murderers of the Han people to Fushun City and killed them on the spot. Li Weihan thought that he had enhanced the country's prestige.
, in order to appease Nurhachi, Li Weihan suggested that Feng Yougong be dismissed from his guerrilla military post because Feng Yougong allowed soldiers and civilians to cross the border to collect wood in order to build barracks for the soldiers. Feng Yougong also embezzled military pay. This time he started provoking lightly.
, should be punished for both crimes——
After Zhang Yuan knew the outcome of the matter, he looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking: "Who was the murderer who was killed under Fushun City? The murderer Hu'erhan was Nurhaci's adopted son. How could Nurhachi be willing to kill him? The so-called murderer should be
They were prisoners captured by Nurhaci during the battle with other Jurchen tribes, and they were shown to the Ming court as a show. Nurhaci probably believed that the time to confront the Ming army had not yet come, so he temporarily surrendered."
