No one knows what will happen to Mongolia in the future, but the Mongolian attack on Yehe will certainly cause considerable changes.
After the deaths of Qing Jia Niu and Yang Ji Ni, there was internal chaos in Ye He for a period of time, and finally the new East and West cities were born. The east city Baylor was Nalin Bulu, the son of Yang Ji Ni, and the west city Baylor was Buzhai, the son of Qing Jia Ni.
Although Nalin Bulu and Buzhai are new Baylor, they are both adults, and it did not take too long to stabilize Ye He's internal affairs. However, due to the previous blow, Ye He has not been able to regain his strength until now.
The previous time in Kaiyuan, although it seemed that Ye He's East and West Beile only lost about 2,000 people, these two thousand were not the other two thousand. This was the most elite core of Ye He, comparable to the servants in the Ming army, so
This loss is close to a "spinal-breaking" loss.
With such serious losses, it stands to reason that they and Gao Pragmatic would have formed a blood feud. However, the amazing thing is that this kind of thinking does not work in the Jurchens.
Although the Ming Dynasty's suppression of various Jurchen tribes had rules to follow, not everyone could understand this "chapter", and the vast majority of Jurchens did not understand it.
Therefore, during the past two hundred years, the Jurchens often did not understand why they were beaten by the Ming Dynasty. This also gave rise to a kind of thinking: the Ming Dynasty did not need too many reasons to beat someone. Many times, as long as the Ming Dynasty
If I think you are disrespectful, I will probably give you a slap in the face.
This kind of thinking is formed because there is another contrast, that is, sometimes a certain Jurchen tribe clearly shows "disobedience", but the Ming Dynasty may not fight against it.
They did not understand that the Ming Dynasty's suppression of a certain tribe was not based solely on whether it was "submissive" or not. In fact, the reason why the Ming Dynasty would consider taking action was whether there was a tendency to dominate the Jurchen tribes.
However, this kind of thinking is not completely without benefits. The advantage is that the two new Baylors, Nalin Bulu and Buzhai, did not list Gao Pragmatic as the enemy of their father's murder. Instead, they skipped the real culprit and listed Meng from the Hada Department.
Gebulu and Nurhaci, the left guard of Jianzhou, became sworn enemies.
Of course, this approach is not surprising. Didn’t Nurhachi also regard Li Chengliang as his mortal enemy? In comparison, everyone is only about the same, with the eldest brother Mo Xiao and the second brother. This is caused by the huge gap in strength. It is not based on the strength of a certain character.
Change of mood, unless this person is really an old man who has eaten arsenic and is impatient with life.
Because of this mentality, and the fact that Gao Pragmatic did not pursue the pursuit at that time - which was not in line with the purpose of the Ming Dynasty - the Yehe tribe did not recover from the fall, but its strategic posture changed from active expansion to licking its wounds and no longer cooperated with the Hada tribe.
Fight and fight.
Not only that, with the mediation of Sister Wen, the mother of Menggebulu, the two sides not only ceased war, but also shook hands and made peace. For a while, it was quite possible to form an alliance at any time.
But an alliance is actually impossible, because Ye He just takes the opportunity to recuperate, and Menggebulu just wants to stabilize the outside world, and then deal with Kang Gulu and Daishan internally. In the final analysis, Ye He and Hada did not turn their hostility into friendship, but they both have more
Just important things to do.
However, Ye He and Hada suddenly shook hands and made peace, which was not good news for Nurhachi.
Not long after Nurhaci defeated Nikan Wailan, he wanted to kill them all, but Nikan Wailan ran away to the Ming Dynasty and was taken in by Cao Yun relying on Gao Pingshi's original remaining order.
Nurhachi was fighting consecutive battles at that time, which was inevitably a bit inflated. In addition, he felt that the war between him and Nikan Wailan had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, but was an internal war within the Jurchens. He was responsible for the cause - he was avenging his father - Therefore, he showed off his power and asked the Ming Dynasty general to hand over Nikan Wailan to him for disposal, and even attracted the Shenyang guerrilla Qi Jin to personally lead troops to Fushun Pass to prevent any accidents.
This incident caused discord within Liaodong. Li Song and Li Chengliang believed that Nikan Wailan should be returned to the country. However, Cao Yu, the deputy general in charge of military affairs east of the Liaohe River, believed that Gao Pragmatic had orders first and insisted on accepting Nikan Wailan. , so the lawsuit went to the court.
After Zhu Yijun asked Gao Jingshi for his opinion, he was unsurprisingly convinced by Gao Jingshi and issued an order to protect Nikan Wailan. At the same time, Gao Jingshi personally wrote a letter to Nurhachi to force him to withdraw his troops.
Nurhachi was not only afraid of Jinghua's reputation in the Battle of Southern Liaoning, but his economic lifeline (ginseng trade) was also in Jinghua's hands. Naturally, he did not dare to be naughty and retreated obediently. But in this way, he felt that his own The situation became even more anxious, and I always wanted to find opportunities to break this situation.
Ye He and Hada shook hands and made peace, and even showed that they might form an alliance at any time. This obviously pushed Nurhaci's anxiety to the top. He was worried that Ye He would rely on his relationship with Sister Wen (Sister Wen's surname is Ye Henala) to quarrel with him. Hada joins forces to attack.
This concern is reasonable, because at this time, Ye He and Hada, even any one of them, are far stronger than Nurhaci - of course, referring to their paper strength.
Even though Ye He lost two thousand elites, because it is a large tribe, if it is willing, it can still raise an army of twenty thousand, which is more powerful than the Jurchens.
Hada was originally very strong during the Wan Khan period, but at the end of Wan Khan's period, he acted recklessly, causing many small tribes who had joined him to flee, and Hada's strength gradually declined.
After the death of Wan Khan, after a period of civil strife and mischief (mentioned previously and will not be repeated here), the military strength of the Hada tribe declined significantly, and there were only about 15,000 soldiers and horses left that could be mobilized for combat.
These 15,000 people were still divided into the hands of three people. The commander Meng Gebulu, because of Gao Pragmatic's support at the time, controlled about half of the people, about 7,000, and the main force was Wan Khan's original headquarters. Kanggu Lu and Dai Shanze each had about 4,000 troops. They were nominally following Menggebulu's orders, but in fact they were doing their own thing. If something happened, who knows whether they would obey Menggebulu's orders.
Although Ye He has lost his core force and Hada is divided into three parts of the world, in any case, the paper strength of their two families far exceeds that of Nurhaci, and the total number of troops they can mobilize is as high as 35,000. More, seven or eight times that of Nurhaci.
If the two of them really want to join forces to attack Nurhaci, even though Nurhachi despises his opponent from the bottom of his heart, he dare not say that he can win - everyone is a Jurchen, and his opponent is not the kind of Nikan Wailan who only knows how to do business. Guy, why can't you defeat yourself with seven or eight times the force? (Note: Nurhaci has not yet established the Eight Banners, so there is no obvious advantage in terms of military system)
And just when Nurhachi was worried, seizing the time to digest the population and territory taken from Nikan Wailan, sending multiple agents to inquire about Ye He and Hada information, and trying to get in touch with Li Chengliang, Burihatu's
The envoy came to the door and proposed a plan to carve up Yehe and Hada that made Nurhachi's heart beat.
This plan itself cannot be said to be very rigorous, because Burihatu has no skills and his emissary level is only mediocre. He only provided some basic principles to Nurhachi. Generally speaking, it can be expressed in one sentence: Mongolia takes Yehe and builds
The state captured Hada.
As for how to fight, Burihatu didn't say, so the envoy just asked questions and didn't know.
However, this did not trouble Nurhachi. Although his political level was not good, his military talent was indeed not bad. He believed that he had a good chance of defeating Hada when the Mongolian Khan personally conquered Yehe.
Although Hada's total military strength is three times that of his own, they are in the hands of three people respectively. The most important thing is that the contradiction between these three people is still irreconcilable, which can obviously be exploited.
The situation in Hada is this: after Wan Khan died, the eldest son succeeded to the throne, made a mess, and ended up playing himself to death, leaving a son named Daishan, but Daishan had just grown up and had no one to support him, so he only received four
Thousands of people.
Wan Khan's widow, Sister Wen, took advantage of this to take control of Wan Khan's headquarters, which was dissatisfied with Wan Khan's eldest son, and pushed her son Menggebulu to succeed Wan Khan. She also received the support of Gao Pingshi, the governor of Liaodong at the time.
This Meng Gebulu became the nominal leader of the Hada tribe.
In addition, Wan Khan had an illegitimate son named Kang Gulu in his early years. This man was characterized by his tallness and strength, and his personal force was relatively strong. Therefore, he also received support from many people and had four thousand tribesmen.
Sister Wen didn't know whether it was for personal reasons or out of a desire to win allies for her son. She quickly hooked up with Kang Gulu and persuaded Kang Gulu not to compete with Meng Gebulu for the position of capital commander, barely maintaining the position.
The situation of the Hada tribe was over.
This is easy to understand, because the strength of both Menggebulu and Kanggulu is more than twice that of Daishan. Daishan will definitely not jump out to seek death, not to mention that Menggebulu has the recognition of the Ming Dynasty at this time.
Of course, Daishan couldn't act rashly.
But Nurhachi knew that this "unity" of the Hada tribe was simply unreliable. In a sense, this so-called unity was almost formed by Sister Wen's charm of Kanggulu by virtue of her "advantage" as a beautiful woman.
Yes, this kind of "control" is not solid at all.
At the same time, Meng Gebulu's own attitude is also crucial - Kang Gulu was originally his same generation and was just an illegitimate son, but now he actually got involved with his mother. You can imagine it with your toes
It can be seen that he will definitely not be very happy in his heart.
Even though the Jurchens, like the Mongols, have the tradition of "accepting successors", that does not mean that there is no grudge in Menggebulu's heart, not to mention that he is still the head of the Hada tribe at this time. It can be said that as long as Kang Gulu is alive,
, for Meng Gebulu, it is a kind of ridicule.
It was a good thing that Meng Gebulu had not read Han Chinese books and did not know Lao Ai's famous saying: "I am the false father of the King of Qin" and the subsequent story, otherwise this seemingly united situation would have broken down long ago.
Since the Hada tribe had such a big hidden danger, Nurhaci was naturally not afraid. He thought about Ye He again. He calculated that Ye He had now lost two thousand of his most elite main forces. Although the remaining troops were still quite large, they were still small.
It is impossible to defeat the Mongolian Khan, so he does not need to consider the pressure Ye He can bring.
Then, the only problem is the attitude of Ming Dynasty.
The attitude of the Ming Dynasty is almost the most difficult for the Jurchens to control. Most of the Jurchen leaders do not know how to deal with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, especially the civil servants. For example, Nurhaci, who was Gao Pragmatic before, found it extremely difficult.
When it came to the ambush of Ye He Erbeile, Nurhachi thought he had been tricked by Gao Pragmatic, but he still dared not say anything. If the officials of the Ming Dynasty were like this, it would be hard to say whether Nurhaci would dare to move or not.
.
But this time, Nurhachi thought he had found Ming's weakness. This weakness happened to be the one he discovered when he failed to pursue Nikan Wailan last time.
The inconsistent attitudes of Li Chengliang and Gao Pragmatic led to the split of the entire Ming army in Liaodong into two factions (currently Nurhachi still cannot see the level of high-level officials in the imperial court).
Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army, seems to be focusing on pacifying the Jurchens. Since he captured Gule Village for the second time, he seems to have not advocated continuing to mobilize troops east of the Liao River.
Nurhaci didn't understand the reason at first, but later he vaguely felt that it might be because Li Chengliang was mainly responsible for military affairs in western Liaoning, and there were some old grudges between him and Cao Fu (as mentioned earlier, Cao Fu was unexpectedly defeated, and Li Chengliang wanted to annex Cao Fu.
The servants did not support him. Later, Cao Yu was rescued by Gao Pangshi, and the relationship with Li Chengliang collapsed), and they did not want Cao Yu to achieve military exploits.
Although Nurhachi's judgment did not identify the root of the problem, it happened that the result was correct. Now in Liaodong, the two schools really do not recognize each other, and in fact it has become a battleground between the practical school and the heart school.
Governor Li Song and commander-in-chief Li Chengliang have both joined the Xin School and become the only "seedlings" of the Xin School in the important town of Jiubian. They are the key to the Xin School's preparations to compete with the Shi School for the great victory of destroying the Yuan Dynasty in the near future. Obviously, this is not the case.
May give in.
Cao Yu, the deputy commander guarding Liaoyang, was already a die-hard general of the pragmatic school. In addition, Gao pragmatic had arranged and recruited many generals in the area east of the Liaohe River. He actually controlled most of the military power east of the Liaohe River, so it was difficult to control even western Liaoning.
, but it has a strong voice east of the Liao River.
In addition, these arrangements made by Gao Pragmatic are actually preparations for the possible Japanese rebellion in Imjin in the future. Obviously, it is impossible for the Shi School to make concessions at this time, which will definitely lead to conflicts between the two factions east of the Liao River.
There were conflicting opinions on this matter, and Nurhachi was keenly aware of it.
If Liaodong were monolithic, Nurhachi would definitely not dare to provoke due to lack of strength. But now that there is internal discord in Liaodong, Nurhachi naturally feels that he has a good chance.
This opportunity is of course not to join the Real School, which obviously holds a tough attitude, but to embrace the support of the Heart School.
Nurhachi could not contact Li Song, and because Gao Pragmatic left a deep impression on him, he did not want to deal with the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, when he decided to send troops to Hada, he immediately sent someone to prepare generous gifts to visit Li Chengliang.
Nurhachi took this matter very seriously and sent his number one confidant, his half-brother Shuerhaqi.
On the same day, Nurhaci sent out his troops and led the main force of the Jianzhou Left Guard of 4,500 people north to attack Hada, and the war outside the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong began.
