Black pullwood, located in the southeast of Tieling more than 80 miles, here was originally the Liaodong Ming Army's Sanchaer Fort location.

In July last year, after Shulhaqi's Zhengbaiqi military power was taken away by his brother Nurhachi, he was disheartened and took several of his sons and the rest of the people to seek refuge in the Ming army in Liaodong.

Li Chengliang is old, too partial to Jianzhou Nurhachi, as long as Nurhachi shows loyalty, that is, to the official, and help Nuhar Red unify the Jurchens, for this reason even stationed tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians stationed in the six forts of Kuandian to Jianzhou, this move made many knowledgeable officials in the Liaodong Metropolitan Department feel worried.

The Liaodong Inspector Xiong Tingbi impeached Li Chengliang for abandoning his defense, and even said that Li Chengliang could die, which was privately supported by many Liaodong officials.

However, Xiong Tingbi's recital was left by the emperor and not released, although there were many discussions in the court, in the end, there was no follow-up on this matter.

Within the Li family, there are also objections to Li Chengliang's intention to help Nurhachi.

Li Chengliang's fifth son, Li Rumei, privately said to his father that Jianzhou now has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, which is even stronger than when the four Jurchen tribes of Haixi were in their heyday, and if they are not contained, they may become a great disaster in Liaodong in the future.

In view of this, Li Chengliang became somewhat wary of Nurhachi. At this time, it was reported that Nurhachi broke with his younger brother Shulhaqi and snatched Shulhaqi's white flag, so that Shulhaqi did not dare to stay in Jianzhou anymore and sought refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

At the suggestion of Li Rumei and others, Li Chengliang asked for the right guard governor of the feudal prefecture for Shuerhaqi, who was the supreme leader of the Ming Dynasty's nominal detention of the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong. And, at the same time, he won the opportunity for Shulhaqi to go to Beijing to pay tribute, which made Shulhaqi grateful to Li Chengliang. It must be known that paying tribute to Beijing is the official recognition of Jianzhou by the Ming Dynasty, and whoever can pay tribute is the real lord of Jianzhou.

The last time I went to Beijing was Nurhachi, and the time was in the 29th year of Wanli. Not long after returning from Beijing, Nurhachi officially moved his capital to Hetuara and established his Jurchen Khanate.

Li Rumei personally went to Tieling and ordered the local defenders to hand over the black tree to Shuerhaqi, and sent food and some ordnance to his troops.

In order to gain support from the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, Shulhaqi took his second son Amin and third son Zasaktu to Beijing after settling his troops, and handed over the black to his eldest son Altuna and his general Wu Erkun to stay behind.

Shulhaqi's trip to Beijing was generally successful, and the Ming court attached great importance to his arrival, and Li Chengliang continued to write to the court to show the benefits of supporting Shulhaqi, so Shulhaqi not only received a book from the Ming court, but also received a promise from the Ming Dynasty that he could send troops to protect and help him when necessary.

It's just that there is one thing that has always made Shulhazy linger.

It was when he was in Beijing that he heard a nursery rhyme.

Zasaktu told his Amma that the nursery rhyme implied that Jianzhou would kill each other, so he advised his Amma to be careful of his uncle when he returned.

Shulhaqi disagreed, and although he and his brother eventually parted ways because of their different attitudes towards the Ming Dynasty, he believed that his eldest brother would never attack his own brother because of this.

The Jurchens, not Han Chinese, would never do such fratricidal things.

However, when he returned from Beijing to Hetumu, he heard the bad news that his most trusted general, Wu Erkun, had been captured and beheaded, along with more than 300 captured children.

Wu Erkun was the Gushan Ezhen when Shuerhaqi was in charge of the Zhengbai Banner, and he followed Shuerhaqi for nearly 20 years, and made great contributions to him and the establishment of the state.

But now, just because Wu Erkun followed him to Heitumu, the eldest brother Nurhachi held a grudge, sent someone to ambush him, and cut off his head with his own hands.

This made Shulhaqi very angry, he wanted to ask the eldest brother to understand, he had taken his son to leave Jianzhou, his subordinates together were only thousands, there was no threat to the eldest brother, why did the eldest brother still kill him!

Altuna, the eldest son of Shulhazy, tried to persuade his Amma not to go to Hetuala, because it was rumored that the uncle had sworn to kill his own brother, and if Ama went now, he would undoubtedly be sent to death.

Amin and Zasaktu also pulled their fathers, and the Fujin Tong Jia clan even knelt in front of him, and in the end, Shulhaqi dispelled the idea of going to Hetuala, and decided to send someone to Shenyang to ask Li Chengliang for help, asking the Liaodong marshal to administer justice for him.

Shuerhaqi has been canonized by the Ming Dynasty as the governor of Jianzhou, and Li Chengliang has also promised to support him, so Shuerhaqi believes that Li Chengliang will definitely seek justice for him.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Chengliang ignored him, not only that, but his brother Nurhachi also led 5,000 elite soldiers to Fushun Pass, claiming to ask Gao Huai, the great eunuch of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, for arrears.

Originally, the Ming army on the Tieling side would regularly deliver grain to Heitumu, but now it has also stopped, and all indications indicate that Nurhachi and Li Chengliang reached a deal, provided that Li Chengliang no longer supports Shuerhaqi.

Without the support of the Ming army, with only the lonely city of Heitumu, thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, it would be impossible for Shuerhaqi to compete with his eldest brother.

During this time, he drank every day with the jar of wine, and did not ask anything. The subordinates and sons saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but they didn't know what to do.

Finally, the eldest son, Altuna, could not stand it anymore, and he rushed into his father's house with his younger brothers Amin and Zasaktu.

"Amma, you can't drink anymore!"

Seeing that his father was still holding the wine jar, Altona and the others were very angry and distressed, because their Amma looked very haggard, and he was no longer the Jurchen hero he used to be.

"Amma, don't drink it, you're already drunk." Zasaktu walked up to his father in distress.

"I'm not drunk, how can I be drunk." Shulhaqi shook the wine jar on the table and shouted, then violently pushed Zasaktu away, "You go out, you all go out for me!" ”

"Amma!" Zasaktu tears and in the orbit.

"Big brother, you can't let Amma do this!" Amin blushed with anger, and suddenly rushed forward and threw the jar to the ground, scolding his father: "What is Ama like now, you know how to drink and drink, where is the previous ambition?" Did you know that our people are on the run, and if Amma continues like this, we will be alone! ”

"Amma, we broke away from the uncle, and the Ming Dynasty repented, but you are like this, do you really have to wait until the uncle's knife is on the neck to wake up!" Altuna clenched his fists tremblingly.

Shuerhaqi froze there, slowly looked at his three sons, and smiled bitterly: "What do you think of me?" Your uncle's soldiers and horses are more than ten times that of mine, and if he wants to kill us, we have no way to resist. ”

"But you can't just wait for it!" Altun Adao.

Amin said: "Amma, I don't think Uncle wants us to die, he may just want Ama to change his mind." ”

"Amin, you underestimate your uncle too much." Altuna shook his head, "If he wanted Amma to go back, he wouldn't have killed Wuerkun." ”

"No, big brother, I'm different from what you think, I think the purpose of Uncle Wu Erkun is to let us go back." Amin said.

"Is it the Han people who said that they killed chickens to show monkeys?" Zasaktu likes to read Han books, although this sentence is a little wrong, but he can't think of a better description.

"Yes, Uncle is warning us to go back. Otherwise," Amin didn't continue, he always disapproved of the split between his father and uncle, and he always wanted to go back.

There is one thing that Amin did not tell his father and brother, that is, his cousins Daishan and Hong Taeto sent him a letter asking him to find a way to persuade his father to go back. The two elder brothers swore to him that as long as they returned, the uncle would not kill them, and would treat them as before.

"Amin, you're naïve, your uncle, won't let me live." Shulhaqi stared at Amin, he knew that this second son had a good relationship with Daishan.

Amin fell silent, if his father really didn't want to go back, there was nothing he could do as a son.

"Amma knows that Uncle is going to kill us, why is he still doing this?" Altuna couldn't understand why his father had become a drunkard.

"Remember, when the enemy is stronger than us, the only way we can survive is to show weakness." Amin's eyes suddenly became terrifying, "If I don't do this, your uncle is not in Fushun now, but in the dark." ”

"Amma, even if Uncle doesn't attack us now, we can't just wait for death like this?" Altuna understood, understood his father's painstaking efforts, and he was so sad that he misunderstood his father.

"No, we'll be alive." Amin walked towards his eldest son step by step, "Ama decided to go to Beijing. ”

"To Beijing?" The three of them were stunned.

"Ama is going to accuse your uncle and Li Chengliang of rebellion!" Amin said in a deep voice, only this way can he live.
