For example, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places are generally managed by the local toast, and so is the northeast. They are managed by the local Jurchen tribes themselves, as long as they pay taxes regularly. The Ming dynasty adopted the method of differentiation and checks and balances in the rule of Northeast China. During the reign of Li, the three tribes, Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen and Yehe Jurchen, balanced each other, making the rule of the Ming Dynasty like a duck to water.
0 1 nuerhachi had political resources in the Ming dynasty, so there was no need to go out and create his own. Entrepreneurship is a very hard thing, because it needs the help of a lot of resources. Can Nurhachi win the world with his bare hands? Of course not. He had helpers in the Ming Dynasty, and Li was the best helper. Nurhachi used his relationship with Li to grow and develop in the northeast, and no one cared.
Taizu is magnificent in appearance, ambitious, profound in connotation, with a bell-like voice, unforgettable in memory and generous in person. The duke of a neighboring country was attacked by Li, the company commander of the Ming Dynasty. Ron Artest is Aric's son and Lipton's daughter-in-law. Jingzu's son looks at him like a grandson. Those who have the land outside Nikan lured Artest to open the city, and Ming soldiers invaded it. Both ancestors are in trouble Mao and his younger brother Shuerhaqi didn't stay in the warrior room, and his wife became eccentric and went home in the dark. Lu Yu's forehead is also endowment, and nine people follow it. -"Draft of Qing History"
At first, Nurhachi was poor, and it was because he leaned against Li's mountain that he gradually had his own team. Nurhachi, through Li, continuously transported materials from the northeast to the Central Plains for sale, thus winning the first bucket of gold in the uprising.
Of course, what he gave Li was definitely higher than the sky. Otherwise, if people opened the Liaodong company commanders in the Ming Dynasty, how could they buy his account? In Li's view, this is also a good deal. After all, he believes that the growth of Nurhachi will not affect the overall situation. Yehe Jurchen and Haixi Nv are really very big Jurchen tribes. As long as you check and balance with the Jurchen people in Jianzhou and don't unite, everything will be easy and it won't hurt to make some money. It is precisely because of this thought of Li that Nurhachi's ambition gradually expanded.
After he unified the whole Jurchen country, he was not satisfied with the existing scale. He hoped to unify the whole Jurchen nationality and build his own empire like Genghis Khan. This idea takes time, and of course it still depends on the help of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Commissioner had no money or food. If he wants to build an empire, he must import a lot of materials, and the Li family is the most important material supply channel in Nurhachi. When things got out of hand, Li retired himself. He didn't know that he had made a big mistake. However, no one can predict what will happen in the future.
Nurhachi lived in the northeast, which was part of the Ming Dynasty. Many people have a misconception that Manchu's entry into the customs was a foreign invasion. Actually, we can't look at it that way. The Ming Dynasty was not a single nation, but more than one nation, the Han nationality. The Ming Dynasty, like China in any period after the Han Dynasty, is a multi-ethnic country. Jurchen nationality is also a part of the vast majority of ethnic groups in China.
After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Liao Dynasty established by the Khitans and the Jin Dynasty established by the Jurchen were actually an inseparable part of China's history. Many scholars even think that Song Dynasty is unorthodox, while Jin is orthodox. After all, people control the Central Plains. There is some truth in this statement. The so-called Central Plains competing for the Central Plains means that after dominating the Central Plains, it is equivalent to dominating the whole of China.
In the first month of Xin Chou Spring, Ming blamed the destruction of Hada, but sent Wuer, the son of Menggebulu, to take Hada as the Lord. Hada was invaded by Yehe and Mongolia, so he told the court that he should not; Also let Hada tell the public with hunger that it should not be. Taizu returned to Wuer ancient times and took over his department. Hada died. In December, Mao returned to China to pay tribute to Ming. It is the ancient military system that allows people to raise silkworms. -"Draft of Qing History"
Therefore, the evolution of the Jurchen nationality to the Manchu nationality is also an inseparable part of us. The war between Ming and Qing Dynasties can only be said to be a contradiction within the country and between nationalities, not a foreign invasion, which is essentially different from War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Nurhachi is from the northeast. He lived and grew up in his own country. Why did he go outside to start a business?
At that time, there was no north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to wander, and there was no hometown anywhere. Northeast China is also under the jurisdiction of Ming Dynasty, so Nurhachi belongs to the second venture within the enterprise, which is the performance of starting a new stove and does not belong to foreign invasion. Since it is an internal contradiction, it must be solved internally, and there is no need to go all the way.
The Central Plains is Dourgen's dream place. To tell the truth, whether Nuerhachi really has the ambition to annex the Ming Dynasty, in fact, this does not count. Because the Ming Dynasty was so huge, Nurhachi's army was really not big enough for the Ming Dynasty. In February, the third year of Wuwu, Bing Jian and the Art of War were given to him. People's voice, cutting the Ming Dynasty, telling the seven great hates of heaven, offering sacrifices to the soup. Divide the two cities of Eastern Zhou and Magendan, and go down the river. The soldiers of the four banners on the right are heading for Fushun. Li Yongfang, a guerrilla of Fushun in the Ming Dynasty, surrendered, thinking that the company commanders were responsible for the surrender and the destruction of the city. Zhang Chengyin, the company commander of the Ming Dynasty, came after him, returned to the army to attack Yin Cheng, and dispatched troops. -"Draft of Qing History"
At that time, the peasant army uprising was not a climate, and the Apocalypse and Chongzhen dynasties were completely able to cope with the situation in the northeast and northwest. Therefore, if Nurhachi wants to stand on his own feet in the northeast, even if he wants to win the Central Plains, it will not take a generation to complete it.
Nuerhachi's son, Huang Taiji, changed the late Jin Dynasty to Manchu Dynasty and established the Qing Empire. Since then, he has only frequently entered the customs and raided some materials. There are few really large-scale expeditions to the south. This shows that Huang Taiji has no ambition to win the world. During the period of Dourgen, the situation was completely different. He is also the son of Nurhachi, but he is younger. After Dourgen came to power, Manchu has ruled the whole northeast region, and all the major tribes in Mongolia have also surrendered to the rule of Manchu. In this way, the opponents outside the customs have been eliminated, and we can focus on the customs.
At this time, the situation in the pass suddenly changed. Li Zicheng, the leader of the rebel army, stormed into Beijing and destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Dourgen saw the period clearly and planned to compete with Li Zicheng for the world. So he turned against Wu Sangui and led troops into the customs. Nurhachi started his business, Huang taiji consolidated his foundation, and Dourgen made pioneering efforts. These three men laid the map of the later Qing dynasty, which shows that success cannot be achieved overnight.
Summary: Nurhachi may just want to crack the soil and seal the king. Later, we learned that Nurhachi released seven great hatreds, saying that he would break with the Ming Dynasty completely, and also fought the Salhu War, killing many Ming troops. But since then, Nurhachi has stagnated. Why? Because he wants to run the Northeast well, at least his generation is unwilling to take another step forward. In Nurhachi's eyes, it seems that it is enough to crack the soil and seal the king. If we really want to annex the Ming dynasty, we must have the right time, place and people.
At that time, despite the help of the Little Ice Age and the peasant rebels, the Ming Dynasty was full of confidence and was not afraid of the threat of Nurhachi at all, so the weather was not enough. To this end, Nurhachi can only firmly grasp this inheritance and let future generations wait for the opportunity. This is very wise, as Zhuge Liang said in "Long Zhong Dui", when the weather changed, he went to explore the northern Central Plains. Timing is absolutely the most important thing. Nurhachi seems to have read Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
