Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 641 Attacking Foala City, Captured Nurhachi's Wife and Returned (5.2K)

At the beginning of May, Song Yingchang, Minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Yiguan, Shen Weijing and other ministers who negotiated peace with Ming Dynasty, and Liu Chenglong, the representative of North Korea, came to Paju all the way under the escort of 5 Ming troops, and then came to Goyang by 5000 Jingqi Husong Outside the city, the Bijo Pavilion held peace talks with the representative of the Japanese army, Konishi Xingchang.

The condition on the Japanese side is the outline that Hideyoshi drafted and sent over. The original text is written in jerky Chinese, which is a bit obscure to read, but the general meaning is as follows:
1. The princess of the Ming emperor married the Japanese emperor, and the two countries became brothers.

2. Resume the exploration and cooperation trade between Japan and Ming Dynasty.

3. The envoys of Ming and Japan exchanged oaths to express their goodwill.

4. The Ming Dynasty ruled that Japan was willing to return the Gyeonggi Province, Chungcheong Province, and Hwanghae Province on the left side of Korea to the King of Korea.In exchange, Hamgyong-do, Gangwon-do, Gyeongsang-do, and Jeolla-do were to be ceded to Japan. ''

5. Ask North Korea to hand over one or two princes as hostages to Japan, as a proof that North Korea will never betray Japan.

6. Japan released the two princes Linhai Jun and He Shun Jun who had been captured before as a show of peace.

7. The monarchs and ministers of North Korea submitted an oath to Hideyoshi, expressing that they would never betray.

Not to mention, every piece of content here makes people's blood pressure rise, not to mention that the North Korean courtiers are nearby, and there are no North Korean courtiers present. This is the condition for Japan and North Korea to negotiate a peace in private, and Song Yingchang does not I will say yes.

What made Song Yingchang a little doubtful was why Japan had already captured the two princes, Lord Linhai and Lord Heshun, and asked North Korea for hostages in order to release these two princes. Isn't this superfluous?

Upon hearing this question, President Konishi explained, "Now Japan and North Korea have become good friends of Qin and Jin, and the two princes have already married the daughter of my Toyoharu Dana Yan as wives. As for the two wives of the prince, we Fengchun Da Nayan accepted it as a concubine."

This answer stunned the Ming Dynasty and North Korean officials who were present, and for a moment they didn't understand clearly what the relationship between these two people was.

And Liu Chenglong said angrily, "It's a shame! How can my Joseon king marry a Japanese woman, and how can my wife of Joseon County be forced to be a concubine like you!"

Hearing Liu Chenglong's question, President Xiaoxi rolled his eyes and said angrily, "His Highness Fengchun Da Nayan is the adopted son of our Highness Guan Bai, and now he is granted the title of the Eight Kingdoms of the Kanto, the Great General of Zhendong, and the guard of Ou Yu." Isn't it worthy of your noble daughter from North Korea for the important position of the general of the government?

As for why it is a concubine, it is naturally because the official wife of our Da Nayan is the niece of His Royal Highness Guan Bai. Is there anyone in the world more noble than him? "

Xu Yiguan asked in a daze: "Isn't this a marriage between cousins?" As for the others, they said, "It's too messy, it's really too messy."

It was also because of this incident that the name of Toyotomi Hideka once again spread to Wanli's ears.Let the Ming people set him an image of a barbarian who refuses to accept Wanghua.

It is said that this matter spread to the people, but it was misrepresented under the word of mouth. The people understood him as an image of an uncle and sister-in-law, a rascal and treacherous villain who likes to pick up other people's walls.

Back to the negotiation itself, such conditions were clearly unacceptable to both the Ming Dynasty and the North Korean side, and they did not even present their own conditions to let Japan know.

Coupled with the fact that North Korean officials were extremely excited at the moment, Song Yingchang stopped the peace talks, and both sides retreated to the city.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not put all their hopes on the peace negotiation.

At the end of April, more than 4 soldiers from Bashu Han, chieftain soldiers from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces, and Fujian Tengpai soldiers had arrived in Beijing by Liu Ting, the General Soldier of Sichuan. Supplementary to the losses of the Ming army in the previous dynasty.

At the same time, after knowing the lack of firearms, gunpowder, artillery shells, and lead ammunition in the Ming army on the front line, Emperor Wanli ordered the Ministry of Industry to step up production, and ordered the governor of Shandong to supervise the transportation of grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the court.

It is not difficult to see from these actions that Emperor Wanli has been making two-handed preparations.

It is really time-consuming and labor-intensive to continue to conquer the dynasty now. If both sides of Japan's acquaintances stop fighting, it is not impossible to rebuild it.

But if Japan is unaware, Emperor Wanli doesn't mind playing a big game with North Korea and Japan after he is fully prepared.

It can even be said that Emperor Wanli did not regard peace talks as the main goal from the beginning. In his opinion, he could talk as soon as he could, and save the time for crossing the sea and expedition.

This point was especially evident after the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and Hideyoshi later sent Xuanpu Lingsan to continue. The Ming side obviously could not agree to any of Japan’s 7 demands, but it was word for word, city by city, and Xuanpu. Ling San struggled for a year and a half.

The peace talks between the Ming Dynasty and Japan were not officially restarted until more than a month later, after Hideyoshi sent Nanchan Temple to preside over Xuanpu Lingsan from Japan. However, Song Yingchang, who was the chief envoy, did not come this time. He sent Xie Yongzi Go with Xu Yiguan to continue talking with the Japanese monk.

During the period of peace talks with the Ming Dynasty, Zhengxing, the flower house far away on Hamgyong Road, was not idle, and now it was about the same time as the Xiu family's previous plan.

At the same time, news was also received from the Zhusheli and Neyin tribes, which were relatively close to Japan, that Baylor, the Hercynian tribes, was dissatisfied with the failure of the previous Fuljaqi battle and was planning a larger-scale campaign against Jianzhou. The Battle of Jurchen, this is the Battle of Gule Mountain (Xinbin Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning), which allowed Nurhachi to take down the Jurchen tribe in Haixi in history and established the post-Jin regime.

The Hercynian tribe headed by Yehedongbeile Buzhai, Yehexibel Nalinbulu, Hadabele Menggebulu, and Urabele Mantai united Mongolian Horqin, Xianbei Xibo, and wild Jurchen Guale Cha, as well as Zhusheli and Neyin, which had not yet surrendered to the Changbai Mountains in Jianzhou, launched an attack on Nurhachi.

In order to deal with the large and menacing enemy forces, Nurhachi announced that all the ministries in Jianzhou would draw all their troops, and more than 1 troops were required to go to the battle.

When Nurhachi was keenly aware that the 3 troops of Yehebeilebuzhai and Nalinbulu, who were the main initiators of this battle, were too forward, and the follow-up reinforcements had not yet been assembled, he quickly used tricks to lure the two into a battle. They pursued and finally wiped out 4000 soldiers of the Yehenara clan, captured Buzhantai, the younger brother of Wurabile Mantai, and others, and obtained 3000 horses.

Hearing the news, Hanabang Zhengxing ordered the entire army of Fengchun family in Hamgyong Province to prepare, appointed Xiangxi Jiaqing as the general general, and Sanada Nobushige as the vanguard army, and went northward to attack Foala City, the main city of Jianzhou Jurchen (now Xinxin) via Cicheng. Erdao Village, Yongling Town, Bin County).

Because the Xiu family remembers it very clearly. It is recorded in history that Nurhachi did not let go of this opportunity after defeating the coalition forces. Only then did the troops stop.

After the strike, Nurhachi hardly stopped, and directly led his troops to Xiangnan, wiped out the Zhusheli tribe participating in the coalition forces in October, and attacked Foduo and Shancheng, where the Neyin tribe was stationed, in November.

The location of the Neyin tribe is in what is now Fusong County, Baishan City, Jilin Province, which is the only way for Cicheng to send troops northward this time.

Xiujia made it clear in the letter that if he wanted to succeed in the surprise attack on Foala City, he had to complete the operation before Nurhachi attacked the Neyin tribe.

The number of Japanese troops led by Kosai Yoshiki was actually not many, and the main force was still the Ueno people under Sanada Nobushige, plus the Kamisou and Hitachi people led by Masatoshi Suga, Tatsuya Togawa, and Toshio Okaya, and the Japanese troops led by him. The total strength of the Saitama Congregation is only more than 7000.

In order to ensure sufficient troops, Masaka Hanabo added 8000 Korean servants to them. They will go north with more than 1 people led by Kato Kiyomasa near the Yalu River.

On September 9st, the army crossed the Yalu River through Cicheng. Hanafang Masako had notified the Neyin Ministry, saying that as long as they jointly sent troops, the Japanese side would not take any money and slaves in Foara City. The Japanese side sent troops to protect the Jurchen tribe. justice.

The first thing the army entered was the territory of the Yalu River Department. The so-called Yalu River Department, Neyin Department and Zhusheli Department of the three Changbai Mountains were originally Mao Lianwei people who originated from the Tumen River Basin. They live in Shanxi, Shanbei, and Shandong respectively.

In the face of Nurhachi's attack, the Yalu River Department was overwhelmed by Nurhachi last year and reached an offensive and defensive alliance with Nurhachi. As a condition, it only contributed 5 kilograms of dried fish, 50 horses, 50 cattle, 200 kilograms of ginseng, and mink fur to Nurhachi. 50 cards and other gifts.

It is said that the reason why Nurhachi agreed to such a condition was because he fell into the trap of Fujin Lin Lamei of Su Naixi, the chief of the Yalu River.

Legend has it that Lin Lamei is a Korean from the south bank of the Yalu River. She is very beautiful, with white skin like snow and a very enchanting figure. She is a well-known beauty around her.

It is said that when Nurhachi soldiers besieged the main city of the Yalu River, Lin Lamei and Su Naixi were having a wedding. Su Naixi was frightened by Nurhachi's 2 army.

So here comes the question, can you tell me whether Lin Lamei gave it to Su Naixi or Nurhachi for the first time, who in the end got green?

9月25日，日军的2万5000大军与讷殷部4200人汇聚于鸭绿江部本城之下。

Since Kato Kiyomasa had looted the Yalu River Department more than once before, Su Naixi was not particularly surprised that the Japanese army attacked again, but after hearing that there were 3 troops outside the city and the banner of the Neyin Department, he was not calm.

You must know that in order to support Nurhachi in fighting the Haixi tribes, the Yalu River tribe also sent 2300 tribal soldiers to accompany the army.

Now the entire Yalu River Department can only find hundreds of soldiers, and only 200 soldiers can be gathered in Ciyu City. Facing 150 times the enemy troops outside the city, Su Naixi can't stand it.

However, the Japanese army outside the city did not give him a chance to negotiate peace. Facing Nurhaci's pressure, the Zhusheli and Neyin tribes once approached the Yalu River Ministry to join forces, but the Yalu River Ministry rejected them without even thinking about it.

Later, when dealing with Nurhachi's invasion, the Yalu River Department also helped Nurhachi send troops.

The Neyin tribe didn't care whether you had been conquered by Nurhaci at that time, the Neyin tribe wanted to teach you a lesson for this tribe that betrayed their ancestors.

Therefore, under the cover of Japanese iron cannons and arrows, the Neyin tribe captured Ciyu City. All the old people in the city were killed, and all the young women and children were taken away by the Neyin tribe and rewarded to the tribe as slaves. If there is a good-looking tribal girl that the Japanese army likes, they can also pay for it.

In the end, Su Naixi, the chief of the tribe, his younger brother Su Naiyi and his wife Lin Laguibian were brought up. The chief of the Neyin tribe, Sai Keshi, smiled lewdly at him and said, "Su Naixi Baylor, why isn't your Fujin in the city?"

Another chief of the Neyin tribe, Souwen, joked to Sekesh next to him, "Hey, you probably forgot, Fujin should be in the Huifa tribe to accompany our female Zhiguo Congrui Baylor at the moment, hahahaha "

(Jurchen calls herself Nuzhi, and "Jurchen" is the name in the pass, which may be a misunderstanding caused by the initial typo)

The customs of the Jurchen Ministry in the past were mostly the dual-tribal chiefdom system, including the aforementioned [Yehedongbeile Buzhai] and [Yehxibel Nalinbulu], and the Yalujiang tribe Su Naiyi and Su Naixi mentioned here, Both Sekesh and Souwen of the Neyin tribe are chiefs of their respective tribes regardless of their size.

Su Naixi didn't care about Souwen and Sekesh's ridicule, instead she said with a smile, "If there is any misunderstanding between the Yalu River Department and the Neyin Department, I am willing to explain."

In history, the ending of Su Naixi and Su Naiyi is also very sad. After the Neyin and Zhusheli tribes of the Nurhachi government, Su Naixi died in a hunt. It is said that he was taken away by wolves and his body was missing.

The younger brother Su Naiyi officially said that he died of typhoid fever, but unofficial history said that he wanted to occupy his sister-in-law Lin Lamei, but was cut off by Lin Lamei and died of bleeding.

After the death of the elder brother of the Jurchen tribe, it is very common for the younger brother to inherit his sister-in-law. In addition, Lin Lamei had an affair with Nurhachi, so the unofficial history's statement can only be used as an after-dinner conversation.

But what is interesting is that Lin Lamei and Lin Lagui have been the chiefs of the Yalu River Department since then, and Nurhachi has substantially annexed them, and later became the main source of soldiers for the Yellow and White Banners during the reform of the Eight Banners.

Since the Yalu River Department is a tribe, it is naturally impossible to have only one city, but Xiangxi Jiaqing was ordered to quickly march into Foala City, and did not intend to completely govern the Yalu River Department.

Therefore, it is only an attack on the Yalu River Castle along the way, and the operation of the tribal people in the tribe is the same as that of Ciyu City.

After the Yalu River Department is the Wanyan Department (Tonghua City, Baishan City), which was conquered by Nurhachi as early as 5 years ago, and is now guarded by Anfei Yanggu, a subordinate of Nurhachi.

However, since An Feiyangu followed Nurha Chibei to conquer Huifa, most of the soldiers here were also transferred away, so the siege of the city did not appear to be laborious.

The news of Japanese pirates invading Jianzhou cannot be hidden, especially when there is the drag of the Neyin tribe, it is even more impossible to achieve the goal of beheading the soldiers quickly.

But fortunately, there were no soldiers guarding the cities along the way. The army went north along the Fuer River, then turned to enter the Suzi River, and went west along the Suzi River, and soon came to Nurhachi's base camp (now Yongling Town, Xinbin County). .

As soon as they came here, the Jianzhou Jurchen's resistance strength was much higher. Obviously, after driving away the Haixi Jurchen, Nurhachi mainly mobilized tribal soldiers from other tribes, and his Sukesu guards did not limit their mobilization.

However, under the continuous attack of the Japanese army with a large number of iron cannons, the resistance of the fortification along the way seemed so insignificant, and the city of Foala was soon surrounded.

Foala City is a mountain city, and it is very dangerous to build the whole city against the mountain.If the Ming army came to attack the mountain, they might have to pay a high price, but it was the Japanese army who had gone through the Warring States War. The Japanese army had its own set of experiences on how to attack mountain cities.

After the army besieged the city for 2 days, Foala City declared its fall. Kato Kiyomasa, Sanada Nobushige, Souwen and Sekeshiju from the Neyin tribe sent people into the city to search and robbed many treasures that Nurhachi had conquered over the years.

However, the purpose of Xiangxi Jiaqing's attack on Foala City was not for these treasures, but for Nurhachi's important relatives.

However, the search was unsuccessful. After asking the captured maids, they found out that they were sent to Tulun City, and then the army turned to besiege Tulum City.

The Fujin Yehenala family Menggu Zhezhe, the side Fujin Fucha family Gundai, the side Fujin Yiergenjueluo family Lai, the concubine Jiamu Hujueluo family, Zhaojia family and Niu Hulu family were captured after the city was broken and others.

Dafujin Tong Jia's Haha Nazhaqing was killed by the Japanese army for protecting Nurhachi's son and drawing his sword to resist.

Among the many sons of Nurhachi, except the eldest son Chu Ying (mother Dafujin Tongjia) who went out with the army and was preserved, the second son Daishan (mother Dafujin Tongjia), the third son Abai (mother concubine Zhaojia), the fourth son Tang Gugu (mother's concubine Niu Hulu's family), five sons Mang Gurtai (mother's concubine Fucha's family), sixth son Tabai (mother's concubine Niu Hulu's family), seventh son Abatai (mother's side concubine Irgen Jue Luo), the eighth son Huntaiji (mother Fujin Yehenala), and the nine sons Babutai (mother concubine Jia Muhu Jue Luo) were all captured.

Among the daughters, apart from the married Dongguo Genengenzhe, the second daughter Yanzhe and the third daughter Mang Guji were taken away together.

Among them, the eighth son Huntaiji and the ninth son Babutai were both born in 1592. They were carried by their mothers in their infancy and brought back to Hamgyongdo by the Japanese army Sona on horses.

It took a total of 10 days from crossing the Yalu River northward to taking Tulun City. At this time, it was the most critical time for Nurhachi to suppress the Huifa Department.

Hearing that his hometown had been stolen, he led his troops back in a hurry, but was pursued by the leader of the Huifa Department, Baiyindari, and Hadabile Menggebulu. In the hands of Huifa Department.

By the way, Shuerhaqi's concubines Tong Jia, Hadanara, Fucha, and Guarjia, the second son Amin, the third son Zasaktu, the fourth son Tulun, and several daughters were also together. was taken captive.

In order to prevent being overtaken by Nurhachi when returning, Xiangxi Jiaqing deliberately did not return by the same route, but went directly south to the Yalu River, and then went up the river to return to Hamgyong Road.

It was precisely because he did not follow the old path that Nurhachi failed to block Xiangxi Jiaqing and others in the Wangjia area.

When Nurhachi returned to Foala City, he saw only piles of bones and the burnt city, which made him resentful.

Afterwards, he asked where his son, daughter and wife were. After hearing that they were all taken away by Japanese pirates and the Neyin tribe, Nurhachi vomited blood and fell to the ground in a panic.
