I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Harawin Mountain.

Over the mountains and forests in eastern Liaodong, white fish belly has appeared, while Harawen Mountain, surrounded by dense tree shade and grassland, seems to be still sleeping.

According to the local people, this is an ancient mountain that understands spirituality. Genghis Khan came here when he conquered all the Mongolian tribes.

King Khan of the Kelieyiti tribe of Mongolia was defeated by Gurhan and fled to this mountain. Genghis Khan led an army to conquer here, and Feng Muheli became the local King Khan. At that time, the eastern border of the Mongolian Empire came to this mountain.

As the sun set in the west, the bleak mountain wind beat the trees to the ground, and there was silence all around.

Occasionally, one or two frightened birds sprang out and flew over the treetops with a "swish", causing a wave of shock. This is the only change in Harawin Mountain in ordinary times.

Not long ago, Horqin's five coalition forces went all the way like a broken bamboo, and successively wiped out several small tribes that belonged to Fuyuwei.

After these small tribes, the next to be defeated was the Kulun tribe.

The Kulun tribe is actually a Jurchen tribe, which belonged to Yehe in the early years and participated in the battle of the nine tribes of Jurchen led by Buzhai, the leader of Yehe.

The story of the Kulun tribe living here is still very interesting.

The Yehe tribe is the leader of the Jurchen tribes specially supported by the Wanli court.

At first, Emperor Wanli was not very worried about Jianzhou Jurchen. Hearing that Jianzhou continued to offend, he only issued an order to urge the Yehe tribe to suppress the Jurchen.

Later, the conflict between Nurhachi and Yehenala continued to deepen.

Buzhai, the leader of the Haixi Jurchen Yehe tribe, joined forces with nine tribes including Wula, Huifa, Hada, Kulun, and Mongolian Horqin to form a coalition army and sent troops to conquer Jianzhou, which did not obey the Ming rule.

The Haixi Yehe Mongolian coalition forces and Nurhachi fought in Gule Mountain.

In that battle, Nurhachi saw through Ye He and the other nine tribes because of their discord, and thus defeated the nine coalition forces.

In the battle, the Jianzhou Six Banners led by Nurhachi almost completely crushed the Nine Divisions of Haixi Jurchen in terms of combat effectiveness and tactics.

In this battle, Buzhai, the leader of the Haixi Jurchen alliance supported by Ming Dynasty, died in battle, Bu Zhantai, the leader of the Ula tribe, was captured alive, and Nuoyanhan, the leader of the Kulun tribe, also lost to Haoge in a single competition and was killed by him.

The result of this battle was beyond the expectations of the Wanli court, which also attracted the attention of the Wanli emperor and court officials.

After deliberation, Wanli Dynasty decided to continue to support Haixi Jurchen, and urged Liaodong generals to launch military operations against Jianzhou to show Ming's tough attitude.

After all, the Yehe tribe was the leader of the Jurchen tribes appointed by the Ming Dynasty, and they were powerful. Although Nurhachi defeated the Haixi coalition forces, he attracted the attention of the Ming Dynasty, and it was still difficult to open the situation.

Since then, Nurhachi has adopted the strategy of Hanchen Fan Wencheng's so-called "distance and close attack, division and disintegration, and defeating each".

But soon, Nurhachi's intention of pretending to surrender was seen through by the Wanli court.

With the approval of Emperor Wanli, the Battle of Salhu, which will determine the situation in Liaodong in the next few years, broke out.

Just when everyone thought that Nurhachi would suffer the consequences of himself and be wiped out by the Ming army, the result of the Battle of Sarhu surprised Ye He and other troops.

The 20-strong Ming court army, under the command of Yang Gao, implemented the strategy of "dividing into a joint attack and joining forces in one place", so Nurhachi defeated them one by one and suffered a crushing defeat.

Juniper North Road was completely wiped out by Nurhachi, and Liu Ting, known as the number one fierce general, was also defeated and killed.

Only Li Rusong's Liaodong Army completely withdrew from Sarhu.

Since then, Emperor Wanli has been seriously ill, and the Ming army has turned from offense to defense.

Nurhachi expanded the Six Banners into Eight Banners, and began to claim to be undefeated, and the news that Jianzhou's cavalry was invincible also spread like wildfire.

3 Forty Chapters

After the Battle of Saerhu, until Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne as emperor, Ming Dynasty did not have the power to launch a large-scale attack on Jurchen.

Zhu Youxiao also knew in his heart that he could only rely heavily on Xiong Tingbi in Liao affairs.

So at the beginning of the succession, even if the throne was not very stable, and the imperial party led by Wei Zhongxian had not yet formed, Zhu Youxiao was still gritting his teeth and insisting on a policy.

That is to say, Wei Zhongxian was launched by the imperial court to disrupt the situation, and Xiong Tingbi was unconditionally trusted in Liao affairs.

Zhu Youxiao deeply understands that in Liaodong now, except for Xiong Tingbi, no one can stop Jianzhou. No matter how the courtiers attack, Xiong Tingbi must stay in the position of Liaodong economic strategy.

After the Battle of Saerhu, Nurhaci finally defeated the powerful Yehe tribe, killed the Jurchen leader Jin Taiji, annexed the Haixi Jurchen, and unified the Jurchen tribe.

The Kulun tribe also moved westward from that time, and belonged to the Mongolian Chahar tribe, grazing on the land of Fuyuwei, and became a subordinate tribe of Zaisai.

During the whole process, Emperor Wanli, who had tasted the fruit of defeat, could only watch, but had no means of containment. In fact, even he himself was exhausted in the struggle for the country in his later years, and he could not fully control the Liao affairs.

Inside, there were courtiers forming cliques and infighting, and outside, Nurhachi continued to annex various ministries and conquer cities and lands. Emperor Wanli was helpless and finally passed away.

Later, Emperor Taichang succeeded to the throne as Ming Guangzong.

It is needless to say what this cheap old man has done in a month.

Not only did he almost wipe out the internal money accumulated by Emperor Wanli for more than [-] years, but he also left Zhu Youxiao with a so-called endangered situation of "the government is prosperous and the finances are bankrupt".

However, Zhu Changluo told the courtiers to do their best to help him before he died, which still made Zhu Youxiao feel a little bit of fatherly love.

After the big case of moving the palace, Zhu Youxiao took advantage of the power of the Donglin Party to ascend to the throne, smashed the coup in the harem, changed Yuan Tianqi, and opened his way of governing the country that is completely different from the history.

For three years, amidst internal and external troubles, Zhu Youxiao watched Nurhachi grow bigger and bigger under his nose, and watched Xiong Tingbi struggling to support himself in Liaodong.

He felt the helplessness of Emperor Wanli during his lifetime, but he didn't intend to just keep watching like this.

One day, Saarhu's failure will make him fight back!

When Zhu Youxiao was stabilizing the internal affairs and fighting for reforms, Nurhachi was naturally not idle, and he continued to implement Fan Wencheng's strategy to the end.

Although Nurhachi himself was very unwilling, he still adopted Fan Wencheng's strategy of attacking the heart.

He successively sent back Bu Zhantai, the leader of the Ula tribe, and Zaisai, the leader of Fuyuwei, expressing his support for Bu Zhantai to continue to be the leader of the Ula tribe, and married his sister.

Relying on this hand, Nurhachi surrendered the Ula tribe.

But Fuyuwei's Zaisai was a variable. Before he put it back, he spoke better than Wu Labu. After he went back, he immediately changed his face and killed Nurhachi's peace envoy.

If Fan Wencheng hadn't stopped him, Nurhachi would have fought this battle three years ago.

Later, Nurhaci sent troops to the Hada tribe on the grounds of secretly contacting the Ming Dynasty, captured and killed its leader Mengge Polo, and completely annexed his tribe.

The Hada tribe has since ceased to exist, and the Hada family was either killed or wandered around in the pass.

In the same year, Nurhachi began to continue to erode the tribes of Mongolia, and married Horqin, the majority of Mongolia in the Nenjiang River Basin.

He reused Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and other Hanchens, and used Mongolian characters to make them add letters to the Jurchen language, so that the Mongolians would willingly work for them.

Zhu Youxiao just watched these actions of Nurhachi all the time, and didn't really care about anything, and in fact he really couldn't control them.

It wasn't until Nurhachi sent troops to Fuyuwei that Zhu Youxiao's attention was attracted.

Obviously, Nurhaci had made sufficient preparations before dispatching troops to Fuyuwei. The destruction of the Hada tribe, and the Horqin and other tribes in the Nenjiang River Basin have completely moved closer to Jianzhou. These are all his trump cards.

As for Zhu Youxiao, it was also in the past three years that he personally conquered the Southwest, quelled civil strife, allowed the eunuchs to wash Donglin bloody, and stabilized the government before he dared to protect Fu Yuwei.

Fuyuwei is not a major force like Chahar, but the geographical location they occupy is a must for military strategists. If the land of Fuyuwei is lost, the situation in Liaodong will be even more difficult.

What's more, Jiannu can invade the bandits and plunder without incident as in the Chongzhen period. Zhu Youxiao can't afford this kind of consequence.

……

At this time, the Kulun tribe had already been defeated by the five allied forces of Horqin, and the tribe was scattered, and there was not even a single piece of land left.

Oba, the leader of Horqin's Five Divisions, once participated in the battle of Yehe's Nine Divisions to attack Jianzhou with his father, but now, he is Nurhachi's staunch ally.

This is also the result of Nurhachi's so-called "distance and near attack" in the past three years.

Oba knew in his heart that the current Ming Dynasty was no longer the opponent of the Houjin Dynasty, and it would be a matter of time before Nurhachi unified Monan Mongolia.

In the future, there may only be Han land in the Ming Dynasty, and all other land will be classified as Hou Jin.

Belonging to Daikin is his most correct decision.

The leader of the Kulun tribe was killed in the battle of the Nine tribes to attack Jianzhou, and later was forcibly annexed by Nurhachi, and they have long been devastated.

Although the Kulun tribe is still stronger than the small tribe that generally belongs to Fuyuwei, it is just a child compared to the Horqin tribe in the Nenjiang River Basin.

After defeating the negligible resistance of the Kulun tribe, Oba annexed the grazing land of the Kulun tribe, and indulged his subordinates in rape, murder and plunder.

The five coalition forces took the former location of the Kulun tribe as their camp, placed heavy troops, and took the Mongols who had captured the rest of the guards as slaves. They distributed the women of the Kulun tribe to the troops and saved money and food, intending to defeat the only powerful Zaisai ahead in one fell swoop.

So far, Horqin's five coalition forces have fought smoothly in Fuyuwei, and have rarely encountered any major resistance.

Even the Kulun tribe of the Haixi Jurchen were easily defeated by them.

Harawen Mountain, by an unknown river, a group of Mongolians in leather armor, about a hundred people, were drinking horses here.

Gerba, the proud son of Nuoyanhan, the leader of the Kulun tribe, one of the nine Jurchen tribes in Haixi, is now the leader of the Kulun tribe "Enkhbayar".

At this moment, he has the name of Enkhbayar, but he is sitting on the stone by the river in a panic, cutting the wooden branch with a knife, and is silent.

The morale of the rest of the Kuren Tribe Jurchens who had escaped was also low. They all knew that the glory of the Kulun Tribe, one of the nine major tribes in Haixi, might never come back.

Geerba and Haoge had a feud against their father, and he knew that the Kulun Department's glory in the past was entirely due to the Ming government's policy of supporting Haixi.

In his heart, he never thought of going against Ming Ting.

But he didn't understand how the Ming Dynasty, which had been so powerful that he needed to look up to it, was defeated by Jianzhou in the Battle of Sarhu?

If it is said that the Haixi Nine Major Ministries Alliance still lost to Jianzhou, Gerbashan felt that it was justifiable, but he did not understand the failure of the Ming court in the Saerhu battle.

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for the Ming court to lose that battle. If it hadn't been lost, the current Kulun tribe would not have fallen to this point, and he is still a proud Enkhbayar.

But he lost, and even his master, Daming, could only protect himself. The current Kulun tribe couldn't even win the five allied forces of Horqin, let alone the trouble of finding Nurhachi.

Once upon a time, the Kulun Department didn't even pay attention to Horqin...

Gerba led his troops to fight against Horqin and was chased all the way here. His three daughters, one son, and his wife all disappeared.

I am afraid that by now, he has been taken captive by the Horqin people and made their slave.

Like him, among the hundreds of people here, their wives and children are also missing, and everyone is very worried.

But they knew that Mount Harawin might be their last refuge, and they would not be able to protect themselves if they went out here, so how could they go about taking revenge and finding their families back.

Suddenly, a scouting horse came galloping, and everyone's expressions changed drastically in fright, and they got up one after another, looking ahead vigilantly.

"Report-"

"The four Mongolian tribes of Inner Kalkha headed by the Horqin tribe sent troops to loot the Yechen tribe on the east side of Harawen Mountain, and took away a lot of cattle, sheep and strong laborers. A group of Yechen tribe's captive women were coming from the mountains. Pass by."

Gerba heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he didn't intend to lead his troops to kill at all, he just sat there and muttered to himself:

"I just hope that Da Ming can win this battle in Shenyang..."

Beyond that, he really saw little hope.

Not to mention a small faction like Ye Chen, even the majority of Fuyuwei can only be wiped out one by one in front of the huge army of Horqin's five factions.

Gerba pinned his hopes on the victory of the Ming army in the battle of Shenyang, but he didn't know that Daming even lied to him!

This time the Ming army issued a call to arms and went out to help Shenyang with great fanfare.

After Zhu Xieyuan led the nine towns elite soldiers out of the customs, he didn't go to Shenyang to find Nurhachi's main force at all. He came straight to Fuyuwei!

Chapter 341 The Enmity between Set and Ma

Tainingwei, on the banks of the Haramu Forest River, is also known as Laohe by the locals.

The full moon was in the sky, reflecting the banks of the old silver rivers and lakes, but the sky was covered by flags, and more than a hundred thousand troops from the pass set up camp here, stretching for several miles.

People in the camp shouted horses neighing like thunder.

The tents of the generals of the seven towns surrounded the general ledger, and cavalry came and went running in and out from time to time, which made the group of Mongols terrified and terrified.

The Mongols walked into the general account with awe and submission, but it was the generals of Zhu Xieyuan who took over the dust for the two "heroes" Ma Chengzhi and Yier Deng.

Zhu Xieyuan had specifically explained before that he would receive these two people with the most solemn etiquette, especially the Mongolian, Yier Deng.

Ma Chengzhi is a celebrity in Tainingwei area and even Liaodong.

In the past, Li's generals were famous all over Liaodong.

Li Chengliang formed the Liaodong iron cavalry, which frightened countless barbarians and broke the barbarians repeatedly. The 200 families under his command can be regarded as the most prosperous martial arts of the frontier commanders in the past [-] years.

In addition to these two, the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties also had a collection of famous officials and generals. Ma Gui, who served as the deputy general of Liaodong under Li Chengliang's command, was the most famous one.

Like the Li family, the Ma family also has many generals.

Everyone knows Li Chengliang in the northeast and Qi Jiguang in the southeast. The children of Liaodong are more in awe of Ma Gui than Qi Jiguang.

The so-called "Dong Li Xi Ma" is exactly the case.

There was a civil official who reported to the Emperor Wanli that Ma Gui, the deputy general of Liaodong, could be called a nobleman, and the descendants of Li and Ma's two generals had many Li important towns.

At that time, Li Chengliang had just resigned after being criticized by the courtiers, and the many illegal activities of his Li's children also caused a rift between Emperor Wanli and his monarchs.
