There is a saying in later generations that the Han dynasties in the past dynasties were beaten most of the time, and they were beaten when they were weaker and backwarder than others, and they were still beaten when they were stronger and more advanced than others, so the Han people were peace-loving, and those frontier nomads and frontier barbarians who invaded the Han people at every turn were brutal by nature.

This idea is very marketable, which shows that many people look at mountains as mountains and water as water, and they are unwilling to use their brains to think independently.

If the Han people were just beaten, how did they develop from one or two small tribes on the banks of the Yellow River to the lords of Kyushu? Is the best place to live in East Asia all because of being beaten?

"Barbarians", you sing and I appear, thousands of years, many of those nations that were glorious in the past, many of them can't even be sure of their descendants, and they have disappeared in the long river of history, what's going on?

I usually ask you: If people are poor, can they rob them?

You will definitely answer: of course not.

But if you think about it for a while, can you still answer so confidently?

No one wants to die, and no one can really take death in stride, especially a meaningless death.

Depif said that under the plague, the dying will plunder the dying, the so-called contract will be gone at that moment, and in the face of death, the true nature of man will be revealed. The Han people's understanding of "barbarians" is only "poor", but in fact, they are not just poor? More often than not, they have to face death at any time.

Plagues, diseases, hunger, natural disasters, they don't seem to be able to solve any of them.

They did not have mild, humid weather, either hot or cold; They were not lazy, and many history books record that they would reclaim all the surrounding land into farmland, but the harvest was pitiful, and they did not have advanced irrigation tools such as water row trucks, nor iron farm tools such as hoes and pickaxes.

Because they did not have the technology to smelt iron, and all iron tools were not allowed to be traded most of the time, because the rulers of the Central Plains would wonder if these "barbarians" would melt down iron tools and turn them into weapons against themselves; Even if trading is allowed, the price of these iron farming tools is all silver, and they don't want to buy it, while ginseng, mink, and deer antlers, which are more precious than iron farming tools, are bargained for by shrewd Central Plains merchants, and even some joint government governments confiscate them in the name of "prohibited items" when they enter the tribute market, and if you dare to talk back, then you may even be labeled as a rebel, not only losing things, but also not being able to save your life.

The Mongols were like that, and so were the Jurchens.

The Han people should be thankful that their ancestors were strong and civilized enough to not only occupy the best breeding grounds, but also to pass on the culture that has been passed down from generation to generation, so that the vast majority of Han people at least do not have to fight for an iron pot and are not discriminated against and bullied because of their bloodline.

As Gao Pragmatic mentioned with Huang Zhiting when he was in Guangxi: "The fish has to pass away, and the water forgets each other; The bird flies on the wind, but does not know that there is a wind. Do you think these Yao people in the mountains live a simple and comfortable life? No, they just don't dare to contact the outside world, for fear of being ridiculed, afraid of being bullied, afraid of being hurt, so they keep hiding in the mountains and never dare to face the world head-on. ”

Huang Zhiting asked him: "Could it be that they were suppressed by the imperial courts of all dynasties and fled all the way to the mountains, but it was their fault?" ”

Gao pragmatic replied: "The moth fights the fire, the fire scorches the moth, it is a disaster; Fruits and flowers, flowers bear fruit, you must know that there is a reason for blessing. Although the world is big, there is a limit; Although the land is abundant, there will be an end to it. Every nation wants to live better, but the world is limited, if you live better, there will be more people, and they also want to live well, do you help?

gang, can only expand, can only rob the land that originally belonged to others. So where do the others go? Would you worry about them and not snatch them? Just as we cook sheep and slaughter cows, just to eat more and eat better, but how can cattle and sheep be innocent? Do you worry about cattle and sheep and not eat them? [Note: See Chapter 082 of the "According to Guangxi" volume, Mo is a cold bird.] ]

Because you are poor, can you rob it?

No.

Because you are poor, so poor that you are hovering on the verge of death, can you rob it?

OK.

For hunger is a greater truth than any morality.

And compared to hunger, death is the absolute truth.

No nation wants to live in war, at least not the vast majority of people do not want to face it. Just as Tongtumut is one of the most powerful tribes among the Mongols, they used to beat the Ming decades ago, but as long as the Ming agree to trade with them, they can work for the Ming in turn - Chataiji is now helping the Ming guard the material passage in the south of Daning.

Whether it is a Han Chinese, a Mongolian person, or a Jurchen, what everyone pursues is nothing more than to live, and if you hope for more, it is nothing more than to live better.

This is true of Nikanwailan, and so is Nurhachi.

Bukulu, also known as Nikanwailan, was originally a minor leader in the Suksa tribe, and his position came from the fact that he had actively traded with the Ming people, so he recruited his subordinates and became the lord of Tulum, similar to the lord of the village or city.

In other words, Nikanwailan was originally a subordinate of the Taks.

Now that Nurhachi has inherited the position of Takshi, Nikanwailan should be Nurhachi's subordinate.

But this subordinate now seems to have the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Jianzhou group of dragons has no leader, the right guard Wang Gao and A Tai are the head, and the left guard Jue Chang'an and Takshi died unexpectedly, who can stop Nikan Wailan's edge?

It didn't seem to be, so Nikan Wailan sent a letter to Nurhachi and asked him to follow him.

But Nurhachi asked people to reply to Nikanwailan: "You are my father's subordinate, that is, my subordinate, and now you turn me to you, how can there be a person in the world who will not die at the age of a hundred?" ”

Many historical records are recorded here, and Nurhachi is full of praise, saying that he avenged his father, raised troops with hatred, was not afraid of strength, and was wise and brave.

But in fact, many people mainly feel Nurhachi's bravery, not wisdom, but the fact is that his answer is actually greater than bravery.

Why?

Nurhachi is the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, which is an official position recognized (about to be recognized) by the Ming Dynasty, and although Nikan Wailan is now powerful, he does not have an official position in the Ming Dynasty, and is at best a "temporary worker".

In this case, if Nikan Wailan wants to truly become the lord of Jianzhou, he needs the official recognition of the Ming court, not the secret recognition of some bigwigs in Liaodong.

He must be in good standing in order to be right.

And Nurhachi, he is the nominal leader of Nikan Wailan, although many people in the Sukesa Tribes have submitted to Nikan Wailan, but it is forced by the situation, because Li Chengliang attaches great importance to Nikan Wailan, and they still have ideas in their hearts.

At this moment, if Nikan Wailan really wants to replace Aixin Jueluo as the lord of the left guard of Jianzhou, or even the so-called "lord of Manchukuo", then he should now make every effort to kill Nurhachi as soon as possible, because if Nurhachi does not die for a day, he will not be able to justify his name for a day.

In turn, Nurhachi must also kill Nikan Wailan to prove that he is the true master of the left guard of Jianzhou.

There are no two days, there are no two lords of the people, the Jianzhou Left Guard can't accommodate two leaders, and the Ming Dynasty doesn't need a Jianzhou Left Guard to be divided into two parts.

Nurhachi saw through the truth earlier than Nikan Wailan, and his only hesitation now was that Gao Pragmatic asked him to wait, saying that it was a merit given to him, and this credit would make his succession justifiable.

But now there is a trouble, and Lidun is not convinced.

This incident made Nurhachi realize that Nikanwailan was not only the enemy who killed his ancestors and fathers, but also the biggest stumbling block for himself at the moment, and if he was not killed, not only would he not be able to get over morally, but he would also be politically unable to win the support of his people—even a person who could not avenge the revenge of his ancestors and fathers, people would not support him.

He told his younger brother Shuerhaqi, who he could absolutely trust, and Shuerhaqi decisively expressed his support: "What Bukulu relies on is only the approval of Uncle Li, but Ahun, your command was promised by Gao Futai, as long as we can solve Bukulu before Gao Futai hands it over to us to do what he said, I don't think Gao Futai will regret it." ”

"Can we settle Bukulu before then?" Nurhachi asked with a cold face.

Shuerhaqi straightened his chest and said, "Don't say anything else, a Tulun city hasn't been put in the eyes of the junior brother yet!" ”

Nurhachi suddenly burst out laughing, patted Shulhazi on the shoulder and said, "I have a plan......"

On the second day, Nurhachi gathered his men and announced that he would raise troops to take revenge - not for Li Chengliang, of course, but for Nikan Wailan.

As expected, as soon as Nurhachi's banner of revenge was beaten, Sukesahu and several city lords who had not submitted to Nikan Wailan took the initiative to find Nurhachi and expressed their willingness to crusade against Nikan Wailan with him. The men agreed to attack the city of Tulum, Nikanwailan's lair, in a few days.

While they were getting ready, one of them came to the residence of Nomina, the lord of the city of Salhu.

In historical records and various romances, there are often such people, the two armies are about to fight, and suddenly a person comes to the other party's commander to whisper, this kind of person is a lobbyist.

Today, the identity of this lobbyist is quite special, this person is the fourth son of Nurhachi's third uncle, named Longdun.

Rondon first found Nomina's brother Naikada and was extremely excited.

"Brother, do you know that disaster is about to happen!"

When Naikada saw Long Dun's expression, and then heard Long Dun's words, he immediately panicked and hurriedly asked why.

Long Dun said slowly: "Now the Ming Dynasty has to help Lord Bukulu, help Bukulu build the city in Jiaban, and let him be the leader of our state, not to mention that the Hada Department also helps him." The situation is already like this, why are your brothers still obeying Nurhachi? Isn't this looking for death? ”

When Naikada heard it, it made sense!

He immediately found his eldest brother Nomina and told him what happened, he really deserved to be a brother, and Nomina also woke up like a dream, and immediately said that I would not participate in the attack on Tulun City.

This was not good news for Nurhachi, whose withdrawal had exacerbated his already inferior forces, and it was assumed that Nurhachi would die down.

Before the battle was fought, it seemed that it had already been lost.

Nikan Wailan, who learned the news, breathed a sigh of relief, and happily continued to prepare for the New Year's goods to be sent to Tieling - this was sent to Li Chengliang, but Li Chengliang himself was far away in Liaoxi, and Nikan Wailan could not be sent there, so it was always sent to Li Chengliang's hometown in Tieling.

However, unexpectedly, Nurhachi did not stop fighting, and he suddenly came to the city of Tumen, with nearly 100 people under his command, plus some city lords and village lords who helped the battle, the whole army of more than 200 people, about fifty or sixty pairs of armor.

Nikan Wailan originally had more than 300 subordinates, and of course this strength was not a fart compared to Da Ming, but in fact, it still crushed Nurhachi at this time, but now there are two serious problems: one is that he did not gather his subordinates in advance, but just sent more than 50 people to escort the New Year's goods to Tieling, and this group of people also took away most of the armor that Nikan Wailan had;

The second is that Nikan Wailan himself started by doing business, and he didn't know how to fight at all, and he used to follow Li Chengliang's army, and Li Chengliang's troops didn't look down on his strength at all, and almost never let him participate in battles, so he had no combat experience at all, and of course he would not have experience in commanding operations.

Therefore, when he quietly glanced at the Nurhachi army arrayed outside the city, he immediately made a decision: abandon the city and flee.

So Nikan Wailan fled directly to Jiaban City.

Belch......

This was Nurhachi's first battle in his life, and he won without a fight. Eager to give it a try, Shulhazy and Anferyangu were both excited and disappointed.

Excited, because won; disappointed, because I won without fighting.

Forget it, you should celebrate when you win, so everyone went into the city to celebrate the victory. And that night, Nomina, the lord of Sarhun City, came, and everyone thought that this guy was here to admit his mistakes, but Nurhachi even thought about it, and wanted to show his command and temperament, and not worry about him.

Who knew that the accident had happened, and Nomina seemed to have a bad temper.

"Thou shalt not encroach upon the two cities of the Hunhe Tribe; The two cities to the east have always had a grudge against me, you can fight them down and give them to me, otherwise, don't want to get my support in the future! ”

A person who not only has no merit but also collaborates with the enemy, is actually embarrassed to point to the east and west, this Nomina is not only arrogant, but also thick-skinned, but these are not actually fatal, the fatal thing is that his IQ seems to be lower than EQ.

Not only did Nurhachi agree to Nomina's request, but the two also agreed to attack Nomina's enemies together.

After the two sides converged, Nurhachi proposed: This city has always had no enmity or grudge against me, I am here to help you on this trip, and you should send troops first.

Nomina replied: No.

This answer is very shrewd, you don't have to lose a soldier, let others help you work, and the harvest will be returned to you after the fight, it's a good strategy, and there is also a possibility, that is, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, and after Nurhachi sends troops to fight with others, he will clean up in one fell swoop.

Just when Nomina's IQ seemed to have developed by leaps and bounds, Nurhachi proposed that it would be okay for me to fight first, but since I attacked first, and the current siege equipment is not enough, and you don't need to stand behind, you might as well lend it to us first.

This time, Nomina felt that Nurhachi's request was still reasonable, so he waved his hand and gave it.

Then, having surrendered their weapons, Nomina and his men watched as Nurhachi's soldiers rushed towards them.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, secretly adopted Jia Xu's strategy, in the name of insufficient transport vehicles, put weapons and armor on the soldiers, and suddenly launched an attack when passing by the gate of Cao Jun, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin and Ai general Dian Wei were killed in battle.

In connection with Nurhachi's avid reading of the Three Kingdoms, there is reason to suspect that he learned this from here.

The difference is that Cao Cao was a tiger napping that time, but Nomina will never become a tiger in his life, and more importantly, Nomina is not like Cao Cao, and has the opportunity to review mistakes.

Seeing this scene, Nomina was stunned and asked blankly, "Nurhachi, what does this mean?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, the fool was slashed off his horse by Shulhazy with a knife.

Now that Nurhachi's battle for Liwei has come to an end, he can wait for Gao Futai to give him a great deal of success with peace of mind.

Thank you for the monthly pass support of "zhou4770", "bimin", "Kakou 80,000", "Demacia's madness", "143023.qdcn", "sugarsugar", and "ming@@", thank you!

After all, Nurhachi is only a supporting role, and I can save it if I have a dialogue or something, and besides, ...... The records in the history books themselves are also very provincial, and if I play too much on my own, I may also deviate.

By the way, Ye Xianggao was mentioned in the previous chapter, and there are two reasons in addition to this person's role in the future: first, he was born in the same year as Nurhachi, so by the way; Second, he is going to be a jinshi this year (the eleventh year of Wanli), so I will mention it first.
