Summoning of the Great General of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 233

Aixinjueluo Murhaqi, the son of Qing Xianzu Xuan Emperor Takshi, the half-brother of Qing Taizu Nurhachi, was born in the 40th year of Ming Jiajing (1561), and his biological mother was the daughter of Gululi— The imperial concubine Li Jiashi.Murhazi was one of the founding fathers of the Qing Dynasty and made great contributions to the early development of the Manchu Qing regime.

Takshi had five sons in total. The eldest son was Nurhachi, Taizu of the Qing Dynasty. Mulhaqi was the second son. In addition, there were also the third son Shuerhaqi, the fourth son Yarhaqi, and the fifth son Bayala. Called Baylor.

"Beile" is Manchu, a title for the Manchu nobles in the early Qing Dynasty. Its position is equivalent to that of the later prince, who holds military and political power.After the Taizu Nurhachi raised his troops, Murhazi accompanied him on many expeditions and made outstanding military exploits. He was given the title Qing Batulu (Chinese translation is "Chengyi").Later, in June of the fifth year of Shunzhi, he was posthumously named Dorobeile, and his posthumous title was "brave and strong".

Murhazi is brave by nature, brave and good at fighting, when he was young, whenever he encountered a battle, he would come to him in person.In the early days of his elder brother Nurhachi's army, all the members of the clan rebelled, and the descendants of the sixth ancestor successively harmed Nurhachi, putting him in a dangerous situation and being embarrassed everywhere.At this time, Murhazi ignored the dissuasion of his tribe and followed his elder brother Nurhachi to start a business together in the dangerous adversity.

In April of the 11th year of Wanli (1583), Nurhachi set up an army with thirteen pieces of leftover armor. Since it was the beginning of the army, the army was weak, and he could only rely on the unity of the father, son and brothers in the family to fight the enemy bravely in order to survive and charge into battle. never fail.It is precisely because of the bravery and tenacity of the brothers of the Aixinjueluo family in battle that the power of the family has continued to expand and become an important armed force in Liaodong.As an outstanding member of the family, Murhazi was known as a warrior since he was a child.As it is said in the "Drafts of Qing History", he was "brave and good at fighting, and he was the first to fall into the battle." He made great contributions to the rise of the Aixinjueluo family.

When the Nurhachi brothers started their army, they were stationed in the mountain city of Beilabei. Due to the steep military defense conditions of the mountain city, they successfully prevented the killing of foreign forces many times.However, the traffic conditions outside the mountain city brought a lot of inconvenience to Nurhachi's expedition.The road from Beilabei mountain city to the outside world must pass through Zhangjia City, where the descendants of the sixth patriarch lived. At this time, the descendants of the sixth patriarch all regarded the Nurhachi brothers as their enemies. Even if the descendants did not interfere with the advance of their troops, they would send their troops to inform the Nurhachi brothers of the target they were attacking, so that they went out many times without success.

In April of the 11th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1583), Murhaqi followed Taizu Nurhachi to conquer the Zhechen tribe. Since the army had just started, there were very few troops, and he only led 50 troops. So he decided to let the brigade go back to camp, with only 30 cotton armored soldiers and 80 iron armored soldiers, a total of [-] people.Unexpectedly, the leader of the Jiaha tribe, Su Kulaihu, secretly sent someone to inform the leader of the Zhechen tribe, so that the enemy was on guard, and they gathered eight people from the five cities of Tuomohe, Zhangjia, Barda, Sarhu, and Jiefan. More than a hundred people flocked to them, wanting to fight to the death with the Nurhachi brothers, and deployed their troops in Jiefan, Hunhe River to Nanshan area, aggressive and ready.

In advance, Nurhachi had arranged for sentries to investigate, but after the sentries found the enemy, they lost their way in a hurry and failed to find Nurhachi's men and horses in time; and Nurhachi thought that there were sentries looking around, so he didn't take precautions. , when hundreds of enemy troops suddenly appeared in front of them, as if falling from the sky, the surprise greatly shocked the morale of the soldiers led by Nurhachi.Zhaqin and Sangguli, the grandsons of Bao Yun'a among the Sixth Patriarchs, saw the strength of the enemy army. They were so frightened that they took off their armor and handed it over to their servants. They were about to flee along the mountain road.

Seeing this, Nurhachi was furious, and loudly reprimanded the two of them: "You are always at home, and you always claim to be the lords of the clan. Now when you see enemy soldiers, why do you want to get rid of them and disarm them?" (Volume [-] of "Manchurian Veritable Records").Although Nurhachi angrily reprimanded his clan brothers, but no effect was seen. The two still refused to obey orders, and the soldiers of the same army did not dare to face the enemy. If it collapses, the whole army will undoubtedly be wiped out.Although Nurhachi wanted to command his troops to rush to meet the enemy, his subordinates were in a mess and did not listen to orders at all.Heh, Nurhachi, who couldn't stop his followers, had to fight for his life, urging his horse to meet the enemy, with only Murhaqi, Yan Bulu, and Wulingga beside him.

The four quietly followed behind the enemy group, looking for opportunities to attack the enemy.When they followed to Jilin Cliff, the four found fifteen enemies coming towards them from the side road.Nurhachi and others took off the tassels of their hats and hid themselves.When the enemy approached, Nurhachi shot an arrow first and killed the enemy soldier walking in the front, and Murhazi shot another enemy soldier dead with another arrow.The rest of the enemy soldiers didn't know how many were in ambush, so they ran away in a hurry, and all rolled down the Jilin cliff and fell to their deaths.The four of Nurhachi and Murhaqi abandoned their horses and bowed, quietly approached the enemy's brigade, suddenly launched an attack, hacked and killed, and the enemy's brigade immediately became chaotic, and the people in the different cities rushed to escape for their lives.The Nurhachi brothers "the four bravely shot at foot and went straight into the siege", killed more than [-] enemies, and chased the enemy to cross the Hun River first to escape.

Murhaqi followed Nurhachi across the river to chase to Jilin Cliff, and found that all the enemies gathered to kill him again. Nurhachi cleverly took off his hat to lure the enemy into hiding, drew his bow and shot at the enemy in the front, and the sharp arrow pierced through the spine to make him fall to the ground and die. Death.Murhazi also shot one person.After fighting for a while, the enemy troops surrendered one after another, and the rest either fled or fell to their deaths.In this passive-initiative battle, Nurhachi and the Murhaqi brothers repelled the attack of more than 1616 enemies with four people, turning the tide of the battle.After the battle, Nurhachi said with emotion about this battle: "In today's battle, four people defeated [-] people, and God helps me." (See "Drafts of Qing Dynasty History Taizu Benji").Later, in [-], when Nurhachi established the Houjin Kingdom in Hetuala and proclaimed himself emperor, he named the year as "Mandate of Heaven", which some historians say originated from this.

In order to eliminate the hostile forces from within the clan, Murhazi strongly advocated the conquest of Zhangjia City occupied by the descendants of the sixth patriarch Baoshi.Under his proposition, Nurhachi and him captured Zhangjia City in one fell swoop with a surprise attack strategy, collected the people in the city, cleared away the obstacles in front of his gate, and deterred the descendants of the third ancestor Suo Chang'a.

In July of the 14th year of Wanli, Murhaqi and his brother Nurhachi led an army to capture Tuomohe City of the Zhechen tribe who had previously led their troops to intercept him, and captured humans and animals and returned them.Then he sent his troops to conquer Eerhun City.On the way to enter Eerhun City, Murhazi opened the way first, and Nurhaci followed behind. The enemy passed by all the way, and Murhazi led his troops to fight along the way before they came to Eerhun City.When attacking Erhun City, Nurhachi was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, injured more than 30 places all over his body, and was unable to command the battle.At the critical moment, Murhazi stepped forward and commanded on behalf of his brother, and won the victory in the attack on Eerhun City.

When Nurhaci's ruling power gradually grew, Murhaqi led troops to conquer many times, and he must take the lead in every battle. He successively went to the Yalu River, Nayin, Zhusheli and other tribes to conquer them.In recognition of Mulhaqi's achievements, Nurhachi gave him the title of Qingbatulu, which is translated into Chinese as Chengyi Warrior.It can be seen that when Mulhaqi followed his brother Nurhaci to start a business, he was deeply respected and loved by his brother Nurhaci for his loyalty, perseverance and bravery.

In August of the 15th year of Wanli, Mulhaqi and General E Yidu led their troops to attack the city of Barda. When the army marched to the Hun River, it was the flood season. The river surged and the army could not cross. All the subordinates advised Mulhaqi to Two people, Yidu and E, led their troops back to restore their orders.Mulhaqi sternly warned his subordinates, "After being ordered to go on an expedition, how can we return to the water without fighting?" Following the order, the native soldiers, who were good at swimming, swam across the river with gongsuo and connected the ropes to solid trees on both sides. The large group of soldiers used the ropes to cross the Hun River and crossed the Hun River. .The defenders in Barda City believed that the surge of the Hun River formed a natural barrier. Even if the troops led by Mulhaqi were extremely capable, they would not cross the Hun River to attack the city at this time. .Therefore, the military defense of the whole city was relaxed.

Murhaqi and E Yidu, who led their troops across the Hun River, decided to hide their troops and launch an attack at night when the enemy was unprepared.That night, Murhazi and Eyidu issued an order to attack the city, and the troops attacked bravely.The defenders in the city woke up from their sleep. This sergeant had no time to put on armor and hold weapons and resisted the siege soldiers. When the two armies fought, the arrows and stones were like locusts. They also went to the city first, with more than [-] wounds on their bodies. The command of the troops was lost. It fell on Murhazi alone.At the most intense moment of the battle between the two sides, Murhazi personally led the soldiers to fight and was injured in many places. He still led the crowd to fight endlessly, and finally captured the city of Balda and returned triumphantly.When Murhazi returned with his army, his brother Nurhachi went out of the city to greet him, hosted a banquet to comfort the whole army, and rewarded Murhaqi and Eyidu.

On the eve of the world-famous Gule Mountain Battle, Nurhachi, who is known for his talent in military command, seemed helpless in the face of nine coalition forces ten times larger than himself.Among my own troops, there are few soldiers and few generals, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. No matter how I deploy it, it is not enough to compete with the enemy soldiers.At this time, Murhazi, who is brave and good at fighting, proposed to his elder brother that he lead a group of elite soldiers to ambush behind Gule Mountain. Le Zhiye lined up to take advantage of the instability of the enemy's formation.He led the elite soldiers to attack, and adopted the tactic of capturing the thief first to capture the king, disrupting the enemy's formation, and then Nurhachi commanded the attack across the board, which could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Nurhachi adopted the suggestion of his younger brother Murhaqi, and ordered him to lead a group of elite cavalry to lie in ambush behind Gule Mountain quietly, looking for fighter opportunities.After the arrival of the Nine Allied Forces, Beilebu Village of Yehebu ordered the army to besiege Gule City as the commander of the Nine Allied Forces.In the city, rolling trees, thunder and stones fell together, and the two armies fought fiercely, with the sound of killing.When the two sides were fighting fiercely, Murhazi led the cavalry to rush out like lightning, and rushed directly into the ranks of the nine coalition forces attacking the city. For a while, the nine coalition forces were in chaos, and Beilebu Village of Yehe tribe was terrified. When he knew what was going on with the cavalry rushing in front of him, his mount tripped over a log and threw him off.Before Bu Zhai could stand up, he was hacked to death by the rushing cavalry.As soon as the nine coalition forces saw that the commander in chief was killed, the whole team immediately panicked and rushed for their lives.Nurhachi commanded the brigade soldiers to turn from defense to offense, defeated the nine coalition forces, and captured Buzhantai of the Ula tribe alive.Achieved a complete victory in the battle of Gule Mountain.

Because in the early days of his business, Murhazi, who was brave and good at fighting, had to fight in every battle, and he took the lead in the battle, which caused his body to be injured many times.In the later period, due to the troubles of injuries, he was unable to join the army and was raised at home by grace. In September of the fifth year of Tianming of the Later Jin Dynasty (1620), he died of illness at his home in Hetuala City at the age of 60.

After Erhachi died of illness, Nurhachi personally came to sacrifice and buried him.Murhachi was buried in Haotuala, Hada, Hulan (now Laocheng Village, Yongling Town, Xinbin County, Liaoning Province).On April 1624st, the ninth year of destiny ([-]), it was relocated and buried in the Tokyo Mausoleum on Yanglu Mountain (also known as Yanlu Mountain) in the northeast of Liaoyang City.At the same time, the burials include: "Emperor Jingzuyi and Empress", "Emperor Xianzu Xuan and Empress", Empress Xiaocigao (Mother of Taizong Emperor Taiji), Lidun Batulu (Uncle of Taizu), Darhan Batu Lu (Taizu's younger brother Shuerhaqi), Beile Huerhaqi (Taizu's nephew), Chu Ying (Taizu's eldest son) and other spirits.
