Chapter 1275: Raising a Tiger is a Problem

Zhao Yu learned about this history because of a debate on the Internet in his previous life. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was a sensitive topic on the Internet, and the slightest carelessness would trigger a verbal 'war', and someone happened to post that the reason why the Jurchens were anti-Ming was caused by the oppression and exploitation of the Ming government, and the argument mainly came from Nurhachi's anti-Ming manifesto - the Seven Hatreds.

The content of "Seven Great Hatreds" is to the effect that my father and grandfather did not break a single grass or tree on the border of the Ming Emperor, and did not disturb an inch of land, and the Ming government made trouble outside the border for no reason and killed my father and ancestor, which is a great hatred; Although I have the hatred of killing my father and ancestors, I am still willing to live in harmony, and I once demarcated the border with the border officials, erected a stone as a monument, and swore an oath to the alliance: whether it is a Ming or a Jurchen, if there is someone who crosses the emperor's border, if he sees it, he should be killed, and if he sees it and does not kill it, he will be guilty and those who refuse to kill. However, the Ming government broke its oath and ordered the soldiers to go out to defend the Yehe department, which was the second hate.

From the south of Qinghe City and north of the riverbank, the Ming Dynasty people stole across the border every year and invaded the Jurchen land. On the basis of my oath, I killed the person who left the country, and rightfully so. However, the Ming government ignored the oath and reproached me for murder, arrested the ministers I sent to Quang Ninh, Gangguri and Fangjina, and forced me to send ten people to be killed at the border.

The Ming court sent troops out to defend Yehe, so that the woman I had hired would be transferred to the Mongols, which were the four great hatreds. The three roads of Chaihe, Sancha'er, and Fu'an, which I have cultivated for several lifetimes, and the grain cultivated by the Jurchens, are not allowed to be harvested, and troops are sent to drive them away, which is the five great hatreds. The Ming government listened to Ye Hebu's words and slandered me with all kinds of evil words, which are the six great hatreds.

The people of the Hada tribe helped Yehe invade me twice, and I sent troops to recruit and get the Hada tribe, and Emperor Ming will order me to return. Subsequently, the Yehbu invaded the Hada tribe several times. All the countries of the world are fighting against each other, how can there be a reason for a person who dies by the sword to be reborn and the people and animals who have already obtained their hands to return? The monarch of a big country should be the co-lord of the world, why do you have a grudge with me. Previously, Hu Lun's four troops attacked me in nine ways, and I began to counterattack and win. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty helped Ye Hebu, thinking that right was wrong, and wrong was wrong, and he arbitrarily dissected it, which were the seven hatreds.

Therefore, the initiators believed that this was an indictment of national oppression against the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Jurchens in Northeast China had been in a situation of division and chaos for a long time, which hindered and undermined the development of social productive forces and brought profound disasters to the Jurchens. Therefore, it is urgent to put an end to the division and slaughter, unify the Jurchen tribes, and have a stable social environment. However, the Ming Dynasty did not want the Jurchen unification and hoped that it would still "divide and rule", so it tried its best to obstruct and destroy the Jurchen unity. Therefore, some people believe that Nurhachi's move to raise troops against the Ming Dynasty conforms to the trend of historical development and represents the common aspiration of the vast number of Jurchens.

But soon someone launched a counterattack, thinking that it was a reversal of right and wrong, and posted their own evidence. In October of the second year of Jingtai, it was recorded: "Li Manzhu, Dong Shan, etc., the governors of Jianzhou and other guards, since the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, have taken advantage of the opportunity to steal the border, and Liaodong has been trapped for it"; In October of the second winter of Chenghua, Jiayin contained: "Haixi, Jianzhou and other Yi people structure three guards, repeatedly disturbing the frontier"; In the first month, February, and March of the third year of Chenghua, there are records of Jianzhou and Haixi Jurchens invading the eastern Liaodong region; In the autumn and July of the third year of Chenghua, Jiazi Shuo, Jianzhou Jurchen "became evil by force, more than 600 miles from Kaiyuan and Liaoyang, tens of thousands of families, and the rate was destroyed".

In October of the second year of Jingtai, it was recorded: "Li Manzhu, Dong Shan, etc., the governors of Jianzhou and other guards, since the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, have taken advantage of the opportunity to steal the border, and Liaodong has been trapped for it"; Chen Yue, the governor of Liaodong, played a fold: "Today, Duoyan is poor, sneaking into Haixi, and transferring the city to me, and Haixi is using the horsepower of the other side to offend my side, which is very inconvenient"; In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, there was a change in the civil fort that shocked the government and the opposition.

Even so, because the three guards of Uliangha rebelled against Warat and disturbed Liaodong, they stopped their mutual markets as punishment. The Ming government is just a "Ge Duoyan Sanwei mutual market". However, the mutual market with the Haixi Jurchens and the Jianzhou Jurchens continued. However, under the leadership of Li Manzhu and Dong Shan, the Jurchens took advantage of the fire to rob and harass the border passes. Not only that, but the Jurchens also colluded with the rebellious Duoyan Sanwei and used the horse market to smuggle for Duoyan Sanwei and disrupt the Ming government's plan to punish the rebellion.

However, the Jurchens were still not satisfied, on the one hand, they attached themselves to the Ming government and accepted the official title of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, they attached themselves to North Korea and accepted the official position of North Korea. These can only show that the Jurchen has never regarded himself as a subject of the Ming Dynasty, and the standard foot on two boats and milk is the face of the mother. After experiencing the frequent entry into the first month, February, and March of the second year of Chenghua and the third year of Chenghua, the contradictions intensified, and the Ming government sent troops to conscript under the condition that it could no longer bear it.

And in July, when the Ming army had not yet arrived, the Jianzhou Jurchens actually "acted as evil, from Kaiyuan and Liaoyang more than 600 miles, tens of thousands of families, the rate was destroyed", more than 600 miles, tens of thousands of families after the large-scale tragic situation, the Ming officers and soldiers who were moving forward will not be unseen, therefore, the Ming army's retaliation methods are also extremely cruel. Later, the Ming government had to exterminate Dong Shan.

It is said that the evidence released by both sides is sufficient, and netizens have also launched their own arguments on this, some people think that Nurhachi is just a reason for his own anti-Ming; Some people also believe that the Ming government had to punish the Jurchens when they could not bear it. As a hot-blooded young man, Zhao Hao naturally participated in it, and he also worked hard to turn over books and find information, preparing to fight back against those who committed my Chinese.

However, anyone who has experience in online warfare knows that this kind of controversy is very easy to distort. Soon the focus of the controversy shifted to the battle of position and character, the initiator was labeled as a 'traitor', and then the speech became one-sided, and the initiator soon disappeared without a trace, and then everyone began to attack and began to 'greet' his family and ancestors, and finally ended the war as a victor.

This controversy made Zhao Hao regret that he could not give full play to it, and there was a great sense of resentment that he was ready to attack, but the enemy had disappeared, and realized that the initiator was just trying to cheat some points, and it was likely that he changed his screen name and joined the opponent. But this kind of unscrupulous person also made him have a long memory, and he felt that it was better to eat melons, but this experience also made him understand a piece of history.

Now that I think about it, there is no hatred in the world for no reason, and naturally there is no love for no reason. Looking back at the 'war' at that time, Zhao Hao's perspective on the problem at this time was also very different. At that time, the Ming court had just expelled the Mongols from the Central Plains, and the remnants were still there, so the Jurchens were fortunate to become the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty and the rulers of the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of both the "sweet and sweet", and the Ming Empire took the lead in throwing an "olive branch" to it, and finally the Jurchens became part of the Ming Empire under the consultation of the Ming rulers in all aspects.

At the same time, the Ming Empire further consolidated the relationship between the Ming Empire and the Jurchens by allowing them to enter Beijing for tributary trade and the opening of the horse market trade, so as to achieve the goal of counterbalancing the Mongol forces. Therefore, in a sense, the ultimate goal of the early Ming Dynasty towards the Jurchens was a kind of "restraint policy", which was used to envelop the hearts of the Jurchens, so as to reduce the threat of external forces to the Ming Empire.

On the other hand, the Ming government, in the process of presiding over the horse market trade, also made it clear that the Jurchens were forbidden to buy iron tools from the Central Plains, thus further "blocking" the Jurchen socio-economic model in the primitive hunter-gatherer economic model, making it unable to meet the basic conditions of agricultural production. Moreover, this model of the Ming government could further promote the Jurchens to deepen their cultivation in the field of hunter-gatherer economy and delay their transition to an agrarian economy. It was precisely because the rulers of the Ming Dynasty saw this clearly that they dared to promote the social and economic development of the Jurchens.

However, the Ming Dynasty government was really good at treating the alien races that were once enemies, and Zhao Yu thought that even the Great Song Dynasty was far behind, but the Jurchens who were exchanged for benevolence harassed the border passes, slaughtered the people, colluded with rebellions, took advantage of the fire to rob, and even half-heartedly stepped on two boats to hook up with Goryeo. He thought that the Ming Dynasty's overly gentle policy was tantamount to raising tigers, and was eventually counterattacked.

As for some people still questioning whether the Jurchens were forced to rebel by the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Yu can only say that they are the 'saints', and from the history of the Ming government's policy towards the Jurchens, this absurd argument can be easily overturned. Think about it, if the Ming government really oppressed and exploited the Jurchens, then why did the Ming government accept and resettle them? What's more, why bother to pay for subsidies and rewards after acceptance, even down to firewood, rice, and household utensils.

To put it in a colloquial way, it's upside down; If the Ming government really oppressed and exploited the Jurchens, then the Ming government could have done just as the Romans did with the Gauls and the Russians with the Turks, and directly reduced them to slavery, wouldn't it be more convenient to exploit and oppress them? From this, Zhao Hao thought of the Haozhou incident, because he also tended to be lenient in formulating policies, and his performance was weak, which led to those Tartars being wrong, and they still had illusions, and they were not convinced by their victory, and felt that they were afraid of love?

For the remnants of the Mongols, Zhao Yu thought twice, and felt that since the conquest was to be built on power, if he could win the victory by relying only on benevolence and Huairou, the world would have been realized long ago, and there would not be so many disputes. And the blind slaughter is not in line with the current situation, it seems that at this moment, only the combination of rigidity and softness is the king, so since some people toast and don't eat and drink, then they might as well be tougher. But I'm afraid that if I have a dragon's mouth, some people will talk behind my back, saying that I am a tyrant, which seems to be the same in ancient and modern times......
