China has a civilization of thousands of years, and there have been hundreds of emperors in ancient Chinese dynasties, and the rise and fall of successive dynasties is basically related to the last emperor himself. Usually, it was the emperor's incompetence that led to the people's lack of livelihood or the people's anger, and eventually many peasant rebels in the country rebelled, posing a heavy threat to the dynasty.
But have you ever heard of a woman ruining a country? Maybe everyone will think of the King of Shang, but have you ever heard of the destruction of four countries because of one woman? Today I will tell you a story like this.
During the Ming Dynasty, a little girl was born in northeast China, and the girl's life was very legendary, she was born with prophecy, she was a woman who could rise and fall. At the age of ten, she caused nurhaci wars with other tribes, and she was the princess of the Yehenara tribe, Dongge.

At that time, the Jurchens in the northeast were not unified, but were divided into many tribes, and different tribes naturally had to fight and war. The way the Ming Dynasty ruled the Jurchens at that time was to suppress them for the sake of breaking, and in the vernacular, it was to take care of whoever pulled them out, to prevent the formation of a dominant climate and occupy the northeast power.
In the early years, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, these Jurchens had several infighting, but no one took advantage of anything, and eventually both sides lost and lost their vitality, of course, these were also the things that the kings of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties hoped to see. It doesn't matter how you fight, but no one should take the tip, just clean up the tip. Because the tribes saw the hurtful consequences of internal struggles, they proposed marriage to improve their contradictions in order to avoid these mutual discussions.

Then this method will inevitably sacrifice the happiness of some women, and can only do so for the sake of political gain. And DongGe, as the princess of the tribe, naturally could not escape such a fate. It can be said that she was born by fate, just a pawn used by others, and ready to dedicate herself, but also because of her existence, many tribes have gone to extinction.
At that time, Nurhaci led his tribe to unify the Jurchens, which also made other tribes worry about their safety and fate. These tribes formed an alliance to resist Nurhaci and staged a fierce battle in the land of Liaodong. Facing the combined forces of nine tribes, Nurhaci fully demonstrated his military ability and wisdom, and he concentrated his forces to adopt the strategy of capturing the king first and killing Dongge's father.
These nine tribes had no leader, and they were in disarray and scattered. Nurhaci killed more than 4,000 enemy soldiers with his elite troops, and this battle is also known as the Battle of the Nine Divisions, which ends with Nurhaci's victory.

The victory of this battle also formed a great vendetta with Dongge's tribe Yehenara, but this tribe was weak after all, although there was a lot of hatred, but if it was bullied like this, the tribe would face extinction. So the emissaries of the tribe came to Nurhaci to take the initiative to show their kindness, and offered the princess Dongge to him to show their sincerity to him, in order to imply that they would receive more care and leniency from Nurhaci in the future.
Dongge's beauty is well known throughout the large tribe, but Dongge does not want to marry his father-killer and refuses to marry. So she openly solicited marriages, on the condition that whoever killed Nurhaci would marry whomever she wanted, and for a time the tribes signed up like crazy.
Nurhaci
The leaders of various tribes have conquered Nurhaci in order to get the beauty of this tribe, and by the time Dongge was thirty-two years old, four tribes had been completely destroyed by Nurhaci. At this time, Nurhaci not only ruled the ethnic tribes, but also established the Qing Dynasty and gradually unified the country.
Ending: The thirty-two-year-old Dongge finally had no choice but to be married to Mongolia by his brother, but he did not expect to die the next year. After her death, Nurhaci also lamented: The destroyer of the Jurchens is the daughter of Yehenara. It was precisely because the various tribes competed for this beauty that they were tragically destroyed.
