Chapter 538
"This junior witnessed it with his own eyes, and it really opened his eyes! A tiger girl must be a tiger father. I think the old general's archery skills must be supernatural and astonishing, right? The junior once heard the words of the Jin people, saying that he was their master's slave." Ha Ci is not afraid of anything in his life, but he is only afraid of one person, and that person is the old general!"

Li Chengliang was proud and proud, and his descendants felt proud both in their hearts and on their faces.

Li Ruomei smiled delicately and said: "How can anyone in the world be afraid of you for no reason? Five years ago, Nuerha Ci claimed that he was highly skilled in martial arts and deceived my grandfather about his old age, so he disguised himself as a Han and came to our house to provoke us. , to stimulate my grandfather to compete in martial arts. My grandfather was angry that he had spoken rudely, so he fired twelve arrows in one breath, shooting down Nuerha's cloak and fixing his whole body to the courtyard wall.

"It turned out that there were two more arrows that pinned Nuerha's left and right sleeves to the wall... Nuerha was very good at it. He blocked nine of the arrows with his sword... At that time, everyone didn't know that this madman was Nuer, the master of the Later Jin Dynasty. Ha Ci, otherwise, he would never let the tiger go back to the mountain easily. Nuer Ha Ci was also a man. After returning to the Jin Kingdom, he did not cover up his defeat. Instead, he claimed that as long as my grandfather is in Liaodong, they Jin people will not invade Liaodong. An inch of land…

"As time goes by, even the Jin people know that Nuer Haci is afraid of my grandfather! However, this should be one of the reasons why Lord Shen, the capital, re-appointed my grandfather as the general soldier of Liaodong!"

Xiao Xiaomo sighed: "That's right! The old general can protect Liaodong from foreign invasion for decades by himself. How many people like the old general are there in the world?"

Li Chengliang sighed: "I'm already old, let's just talk about the life-killing arrow technique. When I was young, I could shoot eighteen shots in one breath, but now I can shoot twelve shots in one breath, and it's not enough! Alas! Lian Po is old, and he can still do it." Have you eaten? However, in a few years, Ruomei's archery skills will be able to surpass that of my grandfather, and by then, I, an old man, will be able to walk happily!"

Li Rubai looked at his white-haired and silver-bearded father, thinking that such a person he admired so much would leave him one day, he couldn't help but feel great grief, tears streaming down his face, and said: "No, Daddy, you can do it!" Do countless good deeds, God will surely bless you with a long life!"

Li Chengliang smiled and said: "I really hope that my descendants live a long life? But does God allow it?"

Xiao Xiaomo recalled the Saarhu War in 1619. Liu Chen went deep alone, outnumbered, and finally died in a fierce battle. Li Rubai was also defeated because of the disorderly command of Yang Gao, the Liaodong economic strategist at that time. According to reports, Li Chengliang sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person, and died of illness a few months later?It would be better to be pissed off.

With such a tragic result, Xiao Xiaomo decided not to allow it to appear, otherwise, it would be out of control later on, and Xiong Tingbi would not be passed on to the first nine sides and become a victim of the dispute between the sects.

But how can he achieve his goal?
This has to be analyzed from Li Chengliang's approach to Liao, so how did he do it in history?
In a word - use barbarians to control barbarians, and use foreign races to control foreign races.

as follows:

Li Chengliang's ancestral home was in North Korea, but he was a Han Chinese. According to Ming history, Li Ying, Li Chengliang's great ancestor, moved to Tieling from the Korean Peninsula and served as the commander of Tieling Guard.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a military protection system, that is to say, military households had to serve as soldiers from generation to generation, and military positions could also be inherited.

Li Chengliang relied on Zu Meng to win the military position. At the beginning, he was a general in Dangerous Mountain, and he was promoted because of his repeated military exploits.

However, Li Chengliang was sent to be cannon fodder by the Ming court at the beginning.

In the fourth year of Longqing (1570), Li Chengliang went to Liaodong to take over as the general soldier.Before that, three Liaodong commander-in-chiefs had been slaughtered by the Mongols. Therefore, Li Chengliang's promotion to commander-in-chief was not due to merit, but because he had no backers in the Ming court at the time and was sent to the front line to fill the vacancy.

How was the situation in Liaodong at that time? It is impossible to describe it in just one chaotic word. It should be said that it was very chaotic, super chaotic.There are not only the old-fashioned Mongolian forces, but also the newly-emerged Jurchens. The barbarian tribe of the Mongolian Chahan tribe alone has 10,000+ people.

But after Li Chengliang arrived in Liaodong, he reversed this situation within a few years.

In May of the fifth year of Longqing (1571), the Mongolian army invaded Panshan Station, and Li Chengliang commanded Su Chengxun to defeat the Mongolian army.Not long after, the Mongolian barbarians invaded in large numbers.Li Chengliang stopped them in Zhuoshan, led his deputy Zhao Wan and others to attack the barbarians, cut off their heads and tails, took advantage of the victory and entered the camp of the barbarians, beheaded two ministers of the enemy army, and beheaded more than 580 levels.Jinfeng was the governor of the department, and he inherited thousands of households from generation to generation.

In October of the sixth year of Longqing (1572), six hundred local barbarians camped in Beihe, the old Liaoyang, more than two hundred miles away from the border of the Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of Wanli (1573), they were taken away in Qiantun again.After that, he defeated the Mongolian soldiers who were defeated in the forts west of Tieling Town, and the Ming court made him second-class.

Duoyan Wulu Sihan entered the bandits again with [-] riders destroying the side wall, and Li Chengliang repelled them.

In the tenth year of Wanli (1582), Suba Boydu, the leader of the Mongolian Chahan tribe, was ambush and died.So far, Li Chengliang has basically dealt with the Mongols.

But at this time the Jurchens started to make trouble again.

During the Wanli period, the Jurchens were mainly divided into four tribes: Haixi Jurchens, Jianzhou Jurchens, HLJ Jurchens (i.e. Jurchen Nobu), and Donghai Jurchens.

The most powerful is the Jianzhou Jurchen, whose leader is Wang Gao.

In the early years of Wanli, the Jurchens Wang Gao of Jianzhou invaded Fushun.In Li Chengliang's ambush, he was defeated, and Wang Gao fled.After surrendering, most of them were killed, and Wang Gao escorted the capital to execute them.Atai, the son of Wang Gao, fled and reorganized Jianzhou Jurchen.

Afterwards, Li Chengliang ambushed the leader of the Yehe tribe (that is, the Yehenala clan) - Beileqing Jianu, and the Jurchens were basically subdued by Li Chengliang. The area of ​​Liaodong and northern Xinjiang ushered in a rare peace. It is well-founded that Li Chengliang was named the No. 1 side general by "History of the Ming Dynasty".

But the last thing Li Chengliang should do is to support the rise of Nurhachi.

The reason why Nurhachi raised an army must start with Li Chengliang. In the second year of Wanli (1574), Wang Gao gathered the Tatar Tumet and Taining tribes on the grounds that his tribe was in trouble, and massively harassed Liaoyang, an important town in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. , Shenyang, Li Chengliang supervised the troops to enter Gule Village where Wang Gao was located, and killed

He was taken in by Li Chengliang and served as a servant.

In other words, Li Chengliang and Nurhachi have a relationship, and the relationship between them is not only that. When Atai was about to avenge his father, Nurhachi's grandfather, Jue Changan, fought Atai with Li Chengliang.

Atai is the grandson-in-law of Jue Changan, and Jue Changan said that he was confident of convincing Atai to surrender.
