The main residence of Yehdong City is the so-called Baylor House. In fact, the word "house" is not very suitable for use here, whether it is from the architectural specifications or from the status of the owner, this house is far from a "house" word.

The emergence of "mansion" as a residence function was first recorded in "Zhou Li: Tianguan Dazai": "The residence of hundreds of officials is called the mansion". The later development will not be discussed in detail here, but by the time of the Ming Dynasty, according to the regulations, it was "the vassal king called the house, the official called the house, and the common man called the house." ”

But having said that, as we all know, the ceremonial system became more and more loose in the later period of the dynasty, and it was during the Longwan period that many things changed.

Some deliberately avoid the appearance of the word "house" and use other honorific titles, such as Gao Shishi's mansion in Zhaohui Jinggongfang, which was called "Zhuangyuandi" earlier, which is avoidance.

Some of them are purely due to changes in the atmosphere and ignore the regulations, such as the same original champion, after Gao Pragmatic became the head of the household department, he began to change his name to "Shangshu Gaofu" - using the word "Fu".

This is a new change brought about by the second surge in the status of Wenchen in the Longqing period. I have not heard of any general soldier who dares to call his residence "General Military Mansion" or "General Rong Mansion" or even "Marshal's Mansion", but the cabinet elders and the seven secretaries of the imperial court, or more than a dozen important ministers of the state, their residences can now be called "mansions" by default, such as the University Scholars' Mansion, the Shangshu Mansion, and the General Constitutional Mansion - the regulations still do not say that it is allowed, but even if the emperor knows, he will not pursue it.

Speaking of which, it is not surprising that how many Wenchen in the early Ming Dynasty could appreciate wearing python robes? Not to mention those who wear python robes. Now that I'm even wearing a python robe, what's the big deal about living in a "house"? Now the only thing that can be strictly restricted is probably the "palace".

Yes, in the early years, only the residence of the vassal king was called the mansion, but what was the status of the vassal king at that time, and what is the status of the vassal king now? To put it mildly, apart from Zhu Yihua, the emperor's younger brother, which vassal king dares to be rude in front of Gao Shipra? No, not a single one.

What's more, in fact, even Zhu Yihua probably didn't dare - because he could only get the profits from the fiefdom of the vassal king, and he couldn't manage it directly. The direct management of these fiefdoms rested with the local yamen, while the top-level management was in the household department and in the hands of Gao Shishi.

Because of this, when Cao Yan was about to walk into the gate of Narin Bulu's "Baylor Mansion", he couldn't help but sneer at the plaque, stopped, and said to Nalin Bulu and Buzhai who were walking beside him: "This handsome man has been an official for many years, and it is the first time he has seen such a desolate 'mansion'. ”

Although Na Lin Bulu and Bu Zhai were angry, they obviously did not dare to be wild in front of Cao Yan, and the landlord Na Lin Bulu accompanied him and smiled: "This ...... This is just that we and other Yi people admire the Celestial Empire, and they have no other intentions. ”

Cao Yan snorted lightly: "It's better not to." As he spoke, he walked in.

Nalin Bulu and Bu Zhai glanced at each other cautiously, and they were glad that although Cao Yan was domineering, he raised it high and put it down gently, and did not delve into it.

It is common for the Ming army to be domineering, not to mention the deputy general of Liaoyang, who is in charge of the area east of the Liao River, Nalin Bulu and Buzhai are not surprised by this. Cao Yan just mocked them and stopped pursuing them, which surprised them a little, according to the general situation, Cao Yan should at least beat and even intimidate them at this time.

But Cao Yan didn't, Narimbulu and Buzhai always felt that something was wrong, but they didn't dare to delay at the moment, and followed into the "Baylor Mansion" with their own hearts.

Cao Yan was naturally seated, and even if it was purely according to the official position, many of the generals of the Ming army had to sit closer to Cao Yan than Nalin Bulu and Buzhai. However, Cao Yan considered that these two Baylors were landlords after all, so Shengsheng moved their positions forward, sitting in a position second only to Kaiyuan's general Ma Chengxun, opposite the Shenyang guerrilla general Qi Jin.

Narimbulu and Buzhai first expressed their gratitude to the arrival of the Ming army's heavenly soldiers, and thanked the generals present one by one, and then said: "Relying on the great handsome tiger might, the Tumen thieves fled without a fight, and my Taru Muwei was full of old and young, and my gratitude is beyond words. ”

Cao Yan didn't have much expression, nodded, and said lightly: "If the two servants can have such an idea, this handsome will not be in vain." ”

It turned out that the "official position" of these two Yehe Baylors in the Ming Dynasty was just a mere commander, which was lower than the status of the rest of the Jurchen tribes such as Hada and even Jianzhou.

Ye He is now the first in Jurchen actual strength, why is his official position so low? Historical reasons, of course.

After the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian nobles withdrew from the capital and returned to the grassland, but its power was not lost, but the scope of its jurisdiction was narrowed, and it still gave orders, which was known as the Northern Yuan Dynasty in history. At that time, the Northern Yuan still ruled the vast area of Haixi, and the Jurchens were still the subjects of the Yuan Dynasty.

In July of the fourth year of Hongwu, Liaoduwei was placed. By October of the eighth year, the capital Wei was changed to the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Mission, leading 25 Wei and 2 states. In ten years, the prefectures and counties were abolished, and the health system was the basis of the administrative division of the Northeast region. From Dingliao Duwei to Liaodong Commander Embassy, the scope of its jurisdiction is only "east to the Yalu River, west to Shanhaiguan, south to Lushunkou, north to Kaiyuan", and north of the Liaohe River, the Songhua River Basin, the north and south of Heilongjiang are not in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, this vast area is still under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty's "Haixi Xuanwei Division".

In the sixteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a letter of surrender to the late Yuan "Haixi Right Cheng" Alu Gray Taishi, who guarded this place, and persuaded him to surrender. It was only after the surrender of Aru Ash that the decree of the Ming Dynasty arrived in the Hercynian region.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Yehe region was basically an undeveloped desert land, but after arriving in orthodoxy, the Jurchen guards moved south, and Tarumuwei began to enter this area after several turns.

In order to resist the resurgence of the Mongol forces, after the surrender of Aru Ash, they began to appease the Jurchen tribes, set up a wide range of guards, issued edicts to seals, and set up the "Nuer Gandu Division" to unify them.

At this time, the Haixi region implemented a different management system from the mainland, and it was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty but not within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which was a typical "one country, two systems".

The Jurchen Naqi Bulu took advantage of this opportunity to establish the "Hulun State", which the Ming Dynasty did not recognize but did not interfere with, so the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Hulun were formed in a three-legged situation.

The Ming Dynasty has always pursued its "restraint policy" with its own intentions: "to cover the Jin Yuan feud, and to want its barbarians to attack themselves." It was precisely by taking advantage of the ethnic hatred of the Yuan and Jin dynasties that the Ming Dynasty implemented a special system in the northeast, using the Jurchens to shield the Northern Domain.

However, after the disintegration of the Hulun Kingdom, four Jurchen kingdoms appeared side by side on the land of Songliao, known as the "Hulun Four Divisions" in history.

After the rise of these four Haixi Jurchen emerging forces, the Ming Dynasty still strictly guarded the border walls. As long as you don't disturb the side, let it make a name for itself. Therefore, the Tatars, Warats, and Duoyan (Fuyu, Taining) in the north can all be listed as "foreign", while the "Hulun Four Departments" are not in this case, and they are still treated as guards, and Tonggong City is as usual. And the leaders of the "Hulun Four Divisions" are also "through the Ming, all of them are guarded by the department, and the Ministry is called the country".

Since Ye He and other "Hulun Four Divisions" are not recognized, then theoretically speaking, they should be regarded as military and political institutions within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the place where they are located is the administrative region of the Ming Dynasty, and the people they govern are also the people of the Ming Dynasty.

However, this was not the case, and the Ming Dynasty territories listed in the Later History of the Ming Dynasty did not include the Haixi Jurchen region. A census was conducted in the sixth year of Wanli, and there were 10621436 households in the country, 60692856 dingkou (adult men with labor force and legal household registration), among which there were no Jurchens outside the border walls.

As a result, Ye He and other "Hulun Four Divisions" became special areas that were not only attached to the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty, but also outside the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, the title "Yehe" never officially appeared in the official classics, but it was always recorded as "Tarumuwei" and paid tribute to it.

Talu Muwei was first seen in the Ming Dynasty classics in the fourth year of Yongle, "Ming Shilu • Chengzu Shilu" Yongle four years of February Gengyin article: "Jurchen savage leader Daye and other seventy people came to the court, ordered Tarumu and other four guards, to fight as the command." This was the beginning of Tarumuve's first appearance on the stage of history. However, at this time, the Tarumuwei officials were not in the same line as the later Yeh chieftain.

Whether it is leaf beating or flocculation, they are not the ancestors of Yehebu. Beat the leaves to pinch Liea, and then pass on the Sahada, three to the Nar beggars, Tong Ha, the Ye family ended here, and then did not appear in history.

Tong Ha's attack was in the fourteenth year of Chenghua, and basically at the same time, another Taru Muwei girl's son Ha You also appeared on the stage of history, but there was no mention of the word "attack", indicating that he was not a descendant or family of Ye Daye.

You are actually the ancestor of Yehe, Qilhana, and later called Qiergani in the Tatar Qing historical books. There are only two generations of Qiergani above, but it was found from the Tatar Qing historical books, and the Ming people probably didn't care about Ye He at all, so there is no record of this in the Ming Dynasty historical books. And these two generations are the ancestor Xinggendarhan, the second generation of Shirk Mingatu, and the third generation of Zilgani. At this time, the Yehebu had not yet been formed, and they were all just one of the leaders of Tarumuwei.

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the Wei must govern 5,000 people, and Qiergani served as the commander, indicating that their department has a large population and great power, but the Jurchen Guardian is different from the inland guard, with an official position but no money, and can only obtain economic benefits through the tribute market, and another economic source is by virtue of the insignificant reward of the imperial court.

Of course, this will not solve the problem of the survival and development of the Jurchen guards, and their own productive forces ...... It was almost negligible, so piracy and plundering were inevitable, and the relationship with the Ming Dynasty became more and more complicated, and naturally it was necessary to be suppressed most severely by the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of Zhengde, "Suchangjia (i.e., Qiergani) used the Fu Han method to cut off the original city" - disobedient and beheaded in the city. So in the eighth year of Zhengde, "Haixi Yijia Hacha, Zhu Kongge and other tributes".

This is a very normal thing, because his father Qiergani was killed by the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to avenge his father, and united with the leader of Feihewei, Gahacha, to block tribute. However, after all, Ye Hebu couldn't fight the Ming Dynasty, and in the end he had to be soft, so in August of the eighth year of Zhengde, the military department played: "Haixi Yiren Zhu Kongge and other four people, listen to Fu into the tribute, and ask for promotion and give the seal and edict." If you follow it, you will show weakness, and if you don't obey, you will be resentful. The ministers and other ministers discussed that the son of the father of Zhukongge, Ha You, Bentaru Muwei commanded the servants, and was killed in order to enter the Kou, and temporarily allowed to attack his father's position, so as to pay the Liaodong town guard to collect and store, and not disturb the border for more than a year. ”

Well, this makes the origin clearer, and it is like this: Yehe's ancestor was not originally the lord of the "Yehe Kingdom" (later called so), one of the four tribes of Hulun, but only an important leader of his country, that is, the commander of Tarumuwei.

Although the ruling family of the "country" later disappeared, everyone knows the habit of the Ming Dynasty, which is particularly nominal. You are not the lord of the country, and I will not give you this command, even if the lord is gone, so Yehe's "Baylor (leader)" has so far only commanded in the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, they actually acted as commanders and envoys on behalf of the "Tarumuwei", so of course they could not compare with Hada and Jianzhou in terms of "official status". So they were able to sit opposite Qi Jin just now, and it was already Cao Yan who saw that they were treated special in the face of their "landlord".

In the face of Cao Yan's lukewarm words, Nalin Bulu and Buzhai could only be regarded as not seeing, after all, first, there was a "disparity in status", and second, they still had to ask for others.

In the end, the cloth village that lost the nest was more anxious, and he didn't care about the revenge of killing his father at all, so he hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, now the Tumen are afraid of the handsome like a tiger, and my Xicheng is still under his wanton, and the people are all looking forward to returning to the Ming Dynasty. ”

can say it so bluntly, this cloth village is really a barbarian. Cao Yan thought like this, but his face did not change at all, glanced at him, and said: "Now that the winter is marching, although the heavenly soldiers are mighty, they always need to rest. Ben Shuai has always loved his soldiers like sons, how can he not be sympathetic and force them to continue fighting? ”

Buzhai suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Dashuai......"

As soon as the words came out, Narim Bulu next to him hurriedly grabbed him, picked up the words and said: "What the marshal said is extremely true, the heavenly soldiers went north to save me Ye ...... Tarumume, admittedly, is very hard, and it is also appropriate to take a short rest under the fatigue of the saddle horse. ”

But this was obviously not his main purpose, so he looked at Cao Yan's face, saw that he was not angry, lowered his voice a little, and asked respectfully: "I just don't know how many days the big marshal plans to rest?" Ah, there is no other meaning in the humble position, but it is better to dispatch supplies according to the plan of the commander, so as not to go wrong in the supply and neglect the commander and the generals and the army under his command. ”

Seeing that he could speak, Cao Yan's face was a lot kinder, and he smiled slightly, and said, "Your kindness is well received, but how long will this rest be, you have to wait for Tanma to report the situation in Xicheng before you can decide." If the Tumen plan to defend in Xicheng, then we will have to bother for a few more days, and we will be ready to fight a fierce battle, do you say? ”

Narimbulu's smile froze, just barely squeezing out a smile, and before he could speak, Buzhai couldn't help it: "How can Tumen defend Xicheng?" He is full of cavalry, what will he take to defend the city? I see that there are hundreds of huge cannons under the command of the marshal, and they are pulled to the city and bombarded, and the figures are afraid that they will be too late to run, so what are you guarding? ”

Cao Yan smiled, his face became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Are you teaching Ben Shuai to fight?" ”
