Friends who watch a little more Qing Palace dramas on weekdays should know that the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty was Emperor Taiji Nurhaci, the second unified regime established by ethnic minorities in Chinese history after the Yuan Dynasty. So do you know how Nuharchi came to power from the Ming Dynasty, and why his father and grandfather were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but he chose to betray the imperial court?
It all started with the death of Nurhaci's maternal grandfather, Wang Gao. Nurhaci's maternal grandfather Wang Gao, because he disobeyed the Ming Dynasty's bullying of jurchens, led his troops to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and died tragically in the capital.
In order to avenge his father, Wang Gao's son Ah Tai led his men to often sneak attacks on the Ming army, and because his attacks were often unexpected and unprepared, the Ming army was also greatly annoyed.
Finally, in November of the eleventh year of the Wanli Calendar (1583), Li Chengliang led his men and horses into the garrison of Atai, Gule City, and lured the yehebu Tulum City Lord Nikan Wailan to attack Lecheng, so that Hu Atai became the turtle in the Ming army's urn between Liying and Waihe.
At this time, Nuharchi's grandfather Kyaw Chang An took his children and grandchildren to the rescue, and in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Kyaw Chang An let his son, nurhaci's father, Tak Shi, go into the city together to persuade Atai to surrender.
And Nikan Wailan did not want to leave a way for Atai to live, so he used the internal traitor to create a momentum and promised the soldiers that "Li Taishi has an order, and whoever kills Atai will be the lord of Gule City." ”
Such a big temptation made the Ming army directly kill the red eye, and Nurhaci's grandfather and father were all killed in this slaughter of the Ming army.
When Nurhaci learned that both his grandfather and father had died tragically under the Ming army's sword, he questioned the Envoy of Ming Yanbian and asked why he had killed his grandfather and father, who had always been loyal to the imperial court.
After the officials of the Ming Dynasty, knowing that they had lost their own mistakes, returned the bodies of Jue Chang'an and Tak Shi, the imperial court came forward and gave Nurhaci 30 Dao dao and 10 war horses, and let Nurhaci succeed as the commander of his grandfather Jianzhou Zuoweidu.
However, although the Ming Dynasty came forward to appease Nurhaci, the seeds of hatred for killing his father and killing his grandfather were also buried in Nurhaci's heart, and he developed a strong antagonism with the Ming Dynasty, and this sentiment also became an important spiritual force for him to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish the Qing Dynasty in the days that followed.
