Chapter 182: Uncontrollable

The name of Gule Village may not be very famous in later generations, speaking of Jianzhou Jurchen, there are probably two most famous locations, one is Sarhu, and the other is Hetuala. The former is because of the Battle of Sarhu, and the latter because it is Nurhachi's lair.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the "Wangcheng" of Jianzhou Jurchen was Gule Village, which was located in the area from Gulou Village to Shengli Village, Shangjiahe Town, Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County.

During the Orthodox period, after experiencing several large-scale migrations in history, the Jianzhou Jurchen Left Guard settled in Hetuala, on the bank of the Sukesu Moat and at the foot of Hulan Hada Mountain. Shortly thereafter, a dispute broke out between the chieftain Fancha and Dong Shan's uncle and nephew, and the clan was in danger of splitting.

In order to effectively restrain the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Ming court adopted the practice of separating the right guards from the left guard, dividing the troops of the original Jianzhou left guard into two, and since then they have become two guards. After the establishment of the right guard, Fan Cha was in charge of the right guard, while the left guard was still in charge of Dong Shan.

In the initial period of time, the right guard of Jianzhou was still living with the left guard in the area of Hetuala, which is the old camp or tiger city of Jianzhou often mentioned in the historical materials of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after that, the rift between the two guards caused by the dispute between the Wei Yin was difficult to heal for a while, and the right guard was weak, so it was often rejected by the left guard forces, so the chief Fan Cha decided to lead his troops to move west along the Sukesu moat, and moved to Gule Mountain, Mardun area, the left guard and the right guard took the five ridges, that is, Qinglong Ridge (Mardun Ridge) as the boundary ridge, thus forming the east and west Jianzhou. Dongjianzhou refers to the left guard, and Xijianzhou refers to the right guard.

So how did the right guard rise, and in turn overwhelm the left guard, making Gule Village the "royal city" of the Jurchens in Jianzhou? Because the Ming army launched the "Battle of Dinghai".

In the "Battle of Dinghai", the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to the old camp of Jianzhou and the Wumi Mansion where Jianzhou Wei was located, and the chief of Jianzhou Wei Li Manzhu and Dong Shan, the chief of Jianzhou Zuowei, were killed by the Ming army successively, and the old camp of Jianzhou, where Zuowei lived, was washed away by the Ming army. At this time, Fan Cha, the right guard of Jianzhou, heard the wind and led his troops to escape to the mountains and escaped this catastrophe.

This is the first rise of the right guard of Jianzhou.

But in the first year of Jingtai, Fan Cha repeatedly led his troops to loot the Ming border because of his revenge for the nest, was captured by the Ming army, and finally died in Liaodong. The position of commander of the capital was customized according to the Ming Dynasty and was inherited by his eldest grandson Na Yanha.

After Na Yanha took office, in order to avenge the murder of his father and ancestors, he also repeatedly committed border crimes, and was later killed by the border officials of the Ming Dynasty. After the death of Nahanha, the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou was assumed by his uncle Buhua Bald.

When Bu Huabald was the commander of the right guard, he still repeatedly committed border rebellion, "thieves migrated into Liaoyang to steal horses and kill officials and soldiers", "entered Kouyi Prefecture to plunder people and things".

For this reason, the Ming court issued an edict to the right guard, "Bu Ha Bald and the three guards to protect their honesty, and they gave the command of the same knowledge, negotiated with the seal, and ordered the people of Benwei to be restrained, and no more violations of the law will be credited." In the second year of Ming Zhengde, Bu Hua died baldly, and the situation of his descendants is not recorded in historical records.

In the decades following the death of Bu Huabald, the chief of the right guard of Jianzhou, the Jurchen tribes were in a state of chaos and social swarming. The second rise of Jianzhou Right Guard was during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and the key figure in the rise was the Wang Gao mentioned before.

When Wang Gao was sixteen years old, he inherited his father's business and rebuilt the city of Gule, which coincided with the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing. After the rise of Wang Gao's power, he was appointed as the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou, and proclaimed himself the governor, "Jianzhou Zhuyi listened to Gao's dispatch". The grandfather Jue Chang'an and his father Takshi, who were born in Jianzhou Zuowei, were both subordinates of Wang Gao at this time, and the other five ancestors and descendants also belonged to Wang Gao.

After the rise of Wang Gao's power, he carried out a large-scale expansion of Gule City. After the expansion of the Gule village was renamed Gule City, this place faces the water on three sides, one side is against the mountain, the Sukesu moat flows from the south of the city, and the Shangjia River flows through the west of the city. The west of the city, the north and south sides are the natural and dangerous cliffs, and the east is connected with the Qinglong Mountain, which constitutes the natural barrier of the walls on three sides.

The fortifications were built with two walls, the inner and outer walls, and a gate was built in the north of the city. In the inner city of Gule City, Wang Gao built more than 500 houses in addition to his own meeting hall and dormitory, and was determined to rely on this city to establish his hegemony in the Jurchen society, and to make another military struggle with the military power of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty.

The war between Wang Gao and the Ming Dynasty was described earlier in this book, and will not be repeated here, in short, in the third year of Wanli, Wang Gao was imprisoned in Yanjing.

After Wang Gao was arrested and killed, his son Atai insisted on opposing the Ming, but at that time his strength had not yet recovered, his movements were not large, and he did not have enough impact, and the governor of Jiliao, the governor of Liaodong and even Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, did not attach much importance to him.

But this year, when Atai learned that the Battle of Monan had begun, he felt that the opportunity was rare, and began to invite "like-minded friends" to do great things. However, what Atai didn't expect was that although the scale of the battle in Monan was huge, it didn't last long, and as a result, his side was not ready, and Li Chengliang's side had already finished the fight.

At this moment, Atai fell into embarrassment: let's raise troops, the opportunity has been lost; If you don't have any soldiers, all the preparations you have made will be wasted.

Maybe it was "God's mercy", but at this time there was an accident, the Tumen Khan who was defeated in the Great War of Monan refused to give up, and actually rushed thousands of miles to attack Li Chengliang's old nest Tieling, and broke the Tieling Guard, and peed recklessly in front of the ancestral grave of the Li family.

This news made Atai very excited, thinking that it must be the Ming army that exaggerated the results of the Battle of Monan, although the Tumen Khan failed to take Tumut, but the loss was not large, but Li Chengliang's loss may be greater.

Under this erroneous line of thinking, Atai immediately gathered his brother A Hai and others, divided his troops into two routes, went deep into the interior, invaded Shenyang, and advanced to the Hunhe River in the south of the city, and the thousands of cavalry of the Great Column Department plundered the area around the mouth of the Hunhe River on the edge of Fushun City.

Li Chengliang got retribution, hated Atai deeply, and said to the left and right: "This rebellion is here, and the Liao disaster has not been slackened." At the same time, at the instigation of Nikan Wailan, he was determined to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Since the imperial court had no money to fight a big war and could not immediately retaliate against the Tumen, he sprinkled all his anger on Atai's head, and immediately led the army from Fushun Wang Gangtai out of the fortress for more than 100 miles, and smashed Atai's old nest Gule Village, and Yibei will attack Ahai Village, and cooperate with it with Yonikan Wailan.

Li Chengliang knew that Takshi was Atai's son-in-law, and Jue Changan's granddaughter was Atai's wife [Note: It seems a bit messy?] ], and sent two people as guides.

As I said just now, Gule Village is made by the mountain, the mountain is steep, the wall stands on three sides and is surrounded by water, and there are moats under it, so Atai is very well defended, but Ahai Village was quickly overcome.

Li Chengliang mobilized two troops to attack Atai Village, but he could not attack it repeatedly. Moreover, Atai broke through the city many times, although it did not succeed, but also caused great casualties to the Ming soldiers.

This is also the reason why Zu Chengxun doesn't want to continue to fight Gule Village - it is not as cost-effective as fighting the Jurchens themselves, because according to the military exploits of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Mongols is the most valuable, and the Jurchens ...... It's just a little more valuable than the inland grass horses.

Therefore, this Gule village, in the eyes of his ancestor Chengxun, is completely a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and it is useless to beat it.

But Li Chengliang's vision is obviously not so short-sighted, if the battle of southern Liaoning is a stalemate or simply that southern Liaoning can't resist, in order to collect troops and go back to rescue southern Liaoning, he gives up Gule Village, a stinky and hard thatched pit stone, then forget it.

But now it is different, now it is the southern Liaoning side that has won a big victory over the Tumen Fried Flower Coalition Army when there are not many elites at all, and even simply captured the fried flowers in one fell swoop, but Li Chengliang's subordinate Qin Deyi was inexplicably defeated in the process of "grabbing merit afterwards......

Compared with the two, doesn't it seem that he Li Chengliang is extremely incompetent? Thinking about it a little more far-reaching, since the three people transferred from Xuanda by Gao Pragmatic are so powerful, they are still very young, and he Li Chengliang is both incompetent and old...... What will the emperor think?

So now, it is out of control, this Gule village must not only be laid, but also have to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
