    The Little Glacier climate had a more severe impact on the Jurchens in Jianzhou than the Ming Dynasty. The main motivation for Nurhachi's process of unifying the Jurchen tribes since the 13th year of Wanli was actually to rob other tribes of food and livestock and avoid their own tribe.  The subjects starved to death. The claims of great talent and foresight were all whitewashed by the Qing Dynasty after they took over the Central Plains. At that time, Nurhachi, like the bandit leaders Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, led a group of hungry people to forage and plunder.  The Jianzhou Jurchens robbed other tribes and killed other tribes' populations to relieve the pressure on food and survive the famine¡ª¡ª

    From the spring of the second year of Tianming to the present, there has been a severe drought in Jianzhou, with all the grass and trees drying up, and countless cattle, sheep and livestock dying. Nurhachi is anxious. If there is not enough food reserves to cope with the coming cold winter, a large number of his subjects will starve to death or be displaced.  , he has no other strategy to govern the country and enrich the people, he only knows how to use force to rob. However, now that all the Jurchen tribes have perished except for the Ye He tribe, pretending to be a small band of horse thieves and jumping into the Ming Dynasty to plunder is a drop in the bucket, unable to deal with large-scale natural disasters.  Therefore, a large-scale war must be launched to pass on the survival crisis, and attacking the Ming Dynasty is imperative!

    After Huang Taiji preached about the invincibility of the Eight Banners Army and the cowardice and incompetence of the Liaodong Ming Army, Nurhachi began to conduct actual combat analysis. He said that when fighting the Ming Army, do not force yourself to attack cities and seize territory. Attack what you can.  Those who can't do it must try to lure the enemy troops outside the city for field battles. How to fight when the enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered, and how to fight when we are outnumbered and outnumbered?  Once the troops are sent out, each Niulu has fifty armored troops, leaving only ten to guard the city, while the remaining forty go to fight. Each sergeant is not allowed to leave his Niulu flag without permission

    Nurhaci has been fighting for many years and has rich experience. He gave a eloquent talk, and then let all ministers express their opinions. Dabeile advocated attacking North Korea, because Nalanbakshi went to North Korea in May with a mission to borrow food from North Korea for disaster relief.  Now that Gwanghaejun has been deposed, North Korea has completely turned to the Ming Dynasty and become the enemy of Jianju. Since it is impossible to borrow food, then go and rob and conquer North Korea¡ª¡ª

    Huang Taiji did not agree to attack North Korea, because if the main force of the Eight Banners Army could not escape from North Korea quickly, it would be attacked from both sides. North Korea was a small country with limited grain reserves.  It's not worth going to war. Attacking North Korea is tantamount to declaring war with the Ming Dynasty. Why not just attack Liaodong. As long as the Ming army in Liaodong is defeated, North Korea can be defeated without a fight.

    Nurhachi is willing to give advice to the eighth son Huang Taiji.  Then he signaled his seventh son Abatai to come out and said: "Abatai, you went to Fushun last month. Please tell me about the reality of Fushun City."

    Abatai had a look of resentment on his face and said: "My people in Dajin suffered from natural disasters and their food supplies were out of stock. I went to Fushun last month to discuss the trade issues of the horse market with Fushun guard Wang Mingyin and guerrilla Li Yongfang. Li Yongfang was greedy and treacherous.  The natural disaster caused by the founding of the state suppressed the selling price of my ginseng and mink skins. The same amount of mink skins and ginseng can be exchanged for less than half of the food in previous years. It is really hateful to take advantage of others' danger."

    Nurhachi said in a deep voice: "First agree to his conditions. I will ask him to pay back ten times as much as he swallows."

    Abatai said: "Li Yongfang's troops in Fushun only have 1,500 men. In July, 500 more sergeants were sent, for a total of 2,000 men. They are all keen on trade and have poor military discipline. How can they be our rivals in the Eight Banners Army?"

    Nurha Chidao: "There are many wealthy merchants in Fushun City, and they have a lot of savings. If Fushun is captured, our Dajin people will not have to worry about surviving the winter. Do you have any good strategies for attacking the city?"

    Huang Taiji suggested: "We can ask Li Yongfang to open a horse market again and agree to sell ginseng antler, mink skin, dongzhu, and horses at low prices to attract merchants from Liaodong to come to Fushun. Once the horse market opens, Fushun's border must be cleared, and  We can order fifty warriors to pretend to be horse merchants and drive five routes into the city to form a city. When our army attacks the city, we can cooperate with the inside and outside, and attack from both inside and outside. Fushun can be captured."

    All the Baylor ministers praised the clever plan. Nurhaci immediately ordered Abatai to rush to Fushun City to discuss the opening of the horse market with Wang Mingyin and Li Yongfang. He also said to everyone in the hall: "If I, Dajin, want to start a war with the Southern Dynasty, we must fight against the enemy."  Being famous can boost morale. The Southern Dynasty killed my father and ancestors; supported my feuding Hada tribe and Yehe tribe and became my enemies; the Han people crossed the border to collect ginseng and cut wood, but they forced me to kill ten of them at the foot of Fushun City; this time they killed my adopted son.  , and kidnapped me, Erdeni, to Beijing. He humiliated me too much, and he must raise an army to avenge me. Heihuan, please find a few subordinates who are proficient in Chinese to draft a "Book of Apology" to describe the Southern Dynasty's treatment of our country over the past hundred years.  I can't tolerate the oppression, so I raised troops to resist. I am a righteous teacher." He also said: "I am extremely sad that Erdeni was captured. If possible, I will try to rescue him."

    ¡­¡­

    Just when Hou Jin was actively preparing to attack Fushun, Li Yongfang, the guerrilla general in Fushun City, was busy making money. Li Yongfang had guarded Fushun for many years and had a good understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Jianzhou Eight Banners Army. He knew that Fushun's  Two thousand troops could not compete with the Eight Banners Army. However, Nurhaci did not dare to confront the Ming Dynasty because he believed that the national power of the Ming Dynasty was far beyond that of Jianzhou. He only pretended to be thieves and robbed some merchants. Last year, Han people who crossed the border to log trees were killed.  Didn't Nurhaci finally, under pressure, capture dozens of Jurchens and kill them in Fu Fu?Did Shun Cheng give an explanation to the Ming Dynasty? It is true that Nurhachi surrendered. As for whether those Jurchens are the real Jianzhou Jurchens, there is no need to delve into it¡ª¡ª

    Last year, after Nurhaci founded the country and proclaimed himself Khan, the governor and the governor of Liaodong issued orders to strictly prohibit Fushun, Kaiyuan and other border towns from trading with Kaima City in Jianzhou. However, the benefits were so great that these orders became a piece of paper. Even Lu Huai, the eunuch who guarded Liaodong,  They all sent caravans to Fushun to do business. How could Li Yongfang strictly implement the order to close the horse market? Moreover, Li Yongfang also knew that Jianzhou was suffering from a serious drought. If they did not trade with Jianzhou at all, those barbaric Jurchens would be driven by hunger.  It¡¯s hard to predict what crazy move he will make next. Therefore, opening a horse market can alleviate the food famine in Jianzhou, and merchants in Ming Dynasty can make money. It can be said to be mutually beneficial. As for lowering the price of ginseng and velvet horses, there is nothing to say. I am willing to buy it.  Selling is what you Jurchens are asking for from me, so I will naturally profit from it.

    The day before yesterday, a detective reported to Li Yongfang that the Jurchens in Jianzhou had recently sent hundreds of people into the mountains to cut wood. Li Yongfang had some doubts in his heart. When he sent people to investigate again, the report said that the Jurchens were building stables for their horses to survive the winter. Li Yongfang  I was relieved. In fact, Nurhaci was preparing tools to attack the city.

    One side is preparing intensively for war, while the other side is arrogant and arrogant and vying for wealth. The outcome of this battle has already been determined.

    ¡­¡­

    On September 28, the second year of Tianming in the Later Jin Dynasty, Nurhaci led 20,000 cavalry to invade the Ming Dynasty. Before the expedition, they held a grand ceremony of killing horses and offering sacrifices to heaven.  Hate," he said:

    "My father and ancestors had not lost a single blade of grass or an inch of land on the border with the emperor. They paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. They had been loyal and obedient for a long time. However, the Ming Dynasty suddenly executed my father and ancestors for their innocence during the Wanli period. This is a shame.

    Although I killed my father and ancestors, I was still willing to repair it and set up a monument to swear that I would not cross the border. However, the Ming Dynasty betrayed the oath and crossed the border with their troops. The guards helped Ye He. Ye He and Jianzhou were both barbarians. There was a quarrel between our two families. Ming Dynasty  It is okay for the court to resolve disputes directly, but why should I help the other side with troops, horses, and firearms, while defending the other side and rejecting me? It is too light and too heavy, and both of them will be sad. This is the second hatred;

    There is an oath inscribed on the boundary of the monument: "Any Han who goes out of the country privately will be killed; any barbarian who enters the country privately will be killed." However, the Han people along the border went out of the country privately to dig up ginseng and harvest it. They thought that the benefits of the mountains and rivers depended on my livelihood, so they repeatedly reported to their superiors.  Unexpectedly, if the news fell on deaf ears, even though they had complaints and had no way to complain, they had no choice but to follow the inscription and kill him. The Ming Dynasty accused me of betraying the alliance and killing without permission, and arrested the two ministers Gangu Li and Fang Jina I sent to Guangning.  Tie with iron ropes, forcing me to hold the border where ten people are killed, these are the three hatreds;

    Hada helped Ye He and sent troops to invade me twice. I fought back and God gave me Hada. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty helped Hada again and forced me to restore Hada's original place. The Hada people I returned were kidnapped by Ye He.  People conquer each other, those who are not in heaven are defeated and die, and those who are in heaven are victorious and live. I have captured the captives, but they force me to return them. Is it unreasonable?  These are the four hatreds;

    Brother Ye Hedong was betrothed by me, but later he turned out to be a member of the Chongqing League and refused to marry me. Although he was like this at that time, he did not dare to accept others lightly. However, with the help of the Ming Dynasty, he remarried to a Western captive. It was such a shame.  , who can be willing to do so, these are the five hatreds: The people in my tribe who are watching the border have been living nearby for two hundred years. Later, the Ming Dynasty believed Beiguan's false accusations and forced my troops to retreat thirty miles.  They erected monuments on the land, burned down the houses, and discarded the crops, leaving our tribe without shelter and food, leaving everyone waiting to die. These are the six kinds of hatred;

    In the past year, there was a drought in Jianzhou and the people had no food. I sent my envoy Nalanbaksh to Korea to borrow food. Zhang Yuan, the envoy enshrined in the Ming Dynasty, actually kidnapped my envoy to Beijing. This was an extremely humiliating and unbearable situation, so I used the Seven Hate to raise an army.  .  "

    Because Nalanbaksh was captured, Nurhachi had no capable civil servants. This confession was not written in plain words, but all the hatred that should be written was written. As for the death of Huerhan, although Nurhachi was  Chi Ji hated the incident, but Hu Erhan was shot to death at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain outside Lianshan City as a horse thief. This was not very honorable and affected morale, so it is omitted.

    After praying to the sky and burning the table, Nurhaci led his army. The 20,000 cavalrymen who went out this time were the elite of the Eight Banners Army. They were only allowed to win but not lose. If they lost, Jianzhou would be destroyed. Although Nurhaci was alive  After hundreds of battles, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. When I rested in Gule Mountain that night, it rained heavily. Nurhaci frowned and hesitated in the tent. He said to Zhu Beile, ministers and flag masters: "It is difficult to advance troops in rainy weather. I want to withdraw the troops and return them."  , what do you think?"

    Nurhaci is testing this to see if everyone has the confidence to fight the Ming army decisively.

    Dai Shan, the leader of the four Baylors, said loudly: "Now that the troops have arrived, they have retreated. How can we hide the fact that we raised troops to worship heaven and start a war with the Ming Dynasty! Although it is cloudy and rainy, our army's bows and arrows are all ready for rain, so we are not afraid of rain."  We are wet, and the heavy rain from the sky has made the Ming army's defenses lax. This rain is good for me, but bad for him. Father Khan, don't worry too much, capture Fushun, and there is nothing wrong with it."

    Nurhaci praised Daishan for being right, and other Baylor ministers also expressed that it was imperative to attack Fushun.

    The next day at the end of the fourth watch, Hou Jin's 20,000-strong army was divided into eight groups and set off. Eight thousand men from the four left-wing banners captured Dongzhou and Magendan; Nurhachi personally led 10,000 men from the four right-wing banners.Thousands of troops and horses attacked Fushun. In the previous two days, fifty warriors from Huang Taiji's Zhengbai Banner had disguised themselves as horse traders and sneaked into Fushun City. They waited for Nurhachi's army to attack outside Fushun City and raised their guns as a signal.  , attacked from both inside and outside, and at the same time, asked a Han prisoner to go to Fushun to see Li Yongfang with a surrender letter, threatening that if he surrendered, he would avoid death and get married, and if he did not surrender, the city would be massacred and the entire family would be slaughtered. Li Yongfang must not miss the chance to survive.  It¡¯s called a psychological battle¡ª¡ª(To be continued)
