Chapter 251 Jianzhou Jurchen
"Mom, please someone who is not good for this dynasty."
In front of Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Yiliu tends to tell some of the facts.
But it is impossible to tell all the facts.
"Disadvantage to this dynasty?"
Empress Dowager Li's expression tightened and looked at her son intently, eager to hear the following.
"Well, the child invited the emperor's brother to send Zeng Chaojie to Liaodong because he wanted to invite a person from the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, named Nurhaci. He was a young man who had not yet emerged but was unstoppable in the future. That young man would never be a person in the pool."
Zhu Yili said this very seriously, giving people an unquestionable feeling.
Because she was really impressed with him, Empress Dowager Li listened very seriously. Moreover, compared with the young and innocent Emperor Wanli, Empress Dowager Li was even more able to capture information.
She quickly and keenly locked in the four words "Jianzhou Jurchen".
Empress Dowager Li went through the three dynasties of Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli. She had a certain understanding of Jianzhou, Jianzhou Sanwei, and Jianzhou Jurchens.
Jianzhou in the north was set up by Emperor Yongle in the first year of Yongle (1403). At that time, the Ming Dynasty wanted to suppress the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so it established the Liaodong Commander Office in the Jurchen settlement and began to control various tribes of the Jurchen tribes.
By the eighth year of Xuande (1433), the rulers' prejudice and indifference to domestic ethnic minorities and the mistakes in border control policies led to the "Gui Chou Battle", which directly attracted the second invasion of Jianzhou by the Korean army.
At that time, the Jianzhou Ministry had been divided into two parts: Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Left Guard. Mengge Timur (that is, the sixth ancestor of Nurhaci) was the left governor of Jianzhou Left Guard (that is, the commander).
Mengge Timur was killed by the savages of Wudiha in the eighth year of Xuande. The Jianzhou tribe was forced to move south and eventually settled outside the border wall in eastern Liaodong, reaching the Hetuara area of the Yalu River in the south.
During the development of Jianzhou, the Ming government established the Jianzhou Right Guard, which together with Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Left Guard were called Jianzhou Three Guards.
Since the Hongzhi Dynasty, the conflict between the Jurchens in Jianzhou and the Ming army in Liaodong has decreased, and the trade relations formed by tribute have become increasingly active.
The three Jianzhou Weiwei, which lived outside the walls of Liaodong, developed rapidly in the social and economic development. The iron farm tools and daily necessities they used were mainly obtained through tribute trade to the Ming Dynasty.
The Jianzhou Jurchens usually went to Beijing to pay tribute. They paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty such as horses, marten, ginseng, and fungus. Then the Ming Dynasty gave them the clothes, colorful satin, linen and grain they needed through the form of rewards. Among them, the most popular one in the Ming Dynasty was the marten of the Jurchens, and the most popular one in the Jurchens was the iron pot made by the Han people.
However, from the Hongzhi to the Jiajing period, the Jianzhou Jurchens continued to grow and grow in the Yalu River Basin after decades of cultivation and rest.
By the end of Jiajing, Wang Gao, who was the commander of the Right Guard of Jianzhou, first launched a challenge to the rulers of the Ming Dynasty.
For example: In the 36th year of Jiajing (1557), Wang Gao led his troops to attack Fushun and killed the Ming army garrison Peng Wenzhu; in the 41st year of Jiajing (1562), he attacked Fenghuang City and Tangzhanbao, and killed Liaodong deputy general Heichun... In short, there were dozens of Ming generals killed by Wang Gao.
In the second year of Wanli (1574), another conflict occurred, and both sides suffered casualties. In anger, the Ming government decided to stop the trade in Gongcheng City, which caused the health and planning difficulties in Jianzhou. Wang Gao gathered Mongolian Tumote, Taining and other troops and invaded Liaoyang and Shenyang on a large scale. Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong, quickly mobilized various Ming troops to counterattack and attacked Wang Gao's old nest Gulezhai.
That was a severe blow to Wang Gao.
After the Ming Dynasty destroyed Wang Gao, the court accepted Li Chengliang's suggestion to build a bundled pavilion, a long pavilion, a long pavilion, a large pavilion, and a new pavilion (all located in Kuandian, Liaoning Province (also known as Kuandian) Manchu Autonomous County) and Zhangqihaladianzi (now in Benxi Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning).
This is equivalent to breaking the customary boundary between the Han and Jurchens formed by the walls of Liaodong. In addition, Wang Gao was confiscated in Beijing and was suspended after being "slaughtered".
This series of events caused strong dissatisfaction among the leader of the E tribe of the Jurchen Dong of Jianzhou, Wang Wutang, and Wang Gao's descendants (especially Wang Gao's son Atai), which led to the continuous war in Liaodong in recent years.

Therefore, based on Zhu Yili's view of later generations, he felt that mentioning the "Jianzhou Jurchen" should be a very sensitive topic to grab the ears. Unfortunately, he did not feel it from Emperor Wanli.
I just don’t know how Queen Mother Li feels.
So after Zhu Yiliu finished speaking seriously, he stared at Empress Dowager Li, a capable woman, and carefully observed her expression changes.
Empress Dowager Li frowned and pondered the film, and murmured: "Over the years, the Jianzhou Jurchens have made people feel really upset! Be kind to them, they should rest and grow stronger, and once they gain power, they will be ready to act and be honest; but they can restrict and restrict them and not trade with them. They will break the can and keep harassed the border. If they hit them, we will not get any benefit; if they don't hit them, they will cause trouble from time to time. What are the good strategies for dealing with the barbarians in the north?"
I have to say that although Empress Dowager Li is a female, she has a very accurate view of the issues of northern ethnic minorities.
Whether it is with the Jurchens or Mongolia, it is indeed a thankless thing to be serious about or fight with those of them.
Think about it, the Ming Dynasty was like a rich man, while the Jurchens or Mongolia, and other ethnic minorities were like a jingling beggar at this time. What was the point of letting the rich man fight with the beggars? What could it be if you win?
The result of the war seems to be that there is indeed only one: only loss, no gain.
But it is definitely unrealistic to completely eliminate them. Otherwise, this eternal problem would not be left to this day. The problem of ethnic minorities began to be prominent since the Han Dynasty and has not been well solved since then.
It was not until a series of policies and policies such as "peaceful coexistence, equality, solidarity, and regional autonomy" in New China were established that a good turnaround occurred. But it was only a good turnaround, and there are still some problems that have not been completely solved today.
Zhu Yiliu thought for a while and replied: "According to the child's opinion, I'm afraid I can only live in peace and influence them with the advanced cultural education of our dynasty? If their concepts do not change and they always think that they can kill and rob the surrounding areas without food and clothing, then any policy and strategy to deal with them at this stage is only to treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
Empress Dowager Li nodded and expressed her approval. She asked again: "Can you ask someone to come to Beijing effectively solve the problem?"
Zhu Yili shook his head and smiled: "Mom, it's not that easy. The child is just helping the emperor solve a problem in front of him."
"What's the problem in front of you?" Empress Dowager Li said alertly, because she couldn't help but think of the Hangzhou mutiny and the Quanzhou mutiny at the first time, thinking that Zhu Yiliu had some similar predictions.
From Zhu Yili's perspective, it is true that he said it was "predictive". He was still very clear about the history of Nurhaci's sacrifice to heaven with the "seven major hatreds" and formally announcing his separation from the vassals of the Ming Dynasty and declaring war on the Ming Dynasty.
The "Seven Hate" are mostly made up of pieces and there is no substantive content. They are just Nurhaci's provocation of hatred between the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty. Only the first point is that it is well-founded. The Ming Dynasty has some debts, that is, the death of Nurhaci's grandfather Juechang'an and his father Takshi.
