The Nine Tribes War ended with Nurhachi's great victory with less than the majority. The disputes and wars among the Jurchen tribes gradually became more intense and entangled. Sister Menggu's natal family, Ye Hebu, even developed a deep hatred for Nurhachi.

In the hatred between the Yehe tribe and Nurhaci, there is a special woman: the old daughter of Yehe—Dong Ge (namely Yehenala Bushiyamala).

In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1597), four years after the four Jurchen tribes in Haixi were defeated in the "War of Nine Tribes", they sent envoys to Nurhachi to make peace. Ye He also expressed his willingness to die. Dong Ge, the daughter of Bu Zhai, was betrothed to Nurhachi during the "Battle of the Nine Tribes".

Dong Ge, also known as Bushiya Mara, was born in Lishu County, Jilin in 1582. She is the most beautiful woman of the Jurchen tribe. She has been famous since she was a child. The tribe wizard also said that she is "delightful". The world, can destroy the world" has an extraordinary origin. Of course Nurhaci was very happy and immediately made an engagement.

If Brother Dong successfully marries Nurhachi, he will have sex with his aunt, Sister Menggu. However, she firmly opposed it and said to her brother Buyangubele: "Nurhachi is the enemy who killed his father. I will marry whoever can kill him." So, Ye Hebu destroyed the marriage contract between Dong Ge and Nurhaci, and said The condition of "killing Nurhachi" was made public to all tribes to seek marriage for Dong Ge.

In fact, this is the third time in Dong Ge’s marriage history that his marriage has been broken. When she was nine years old, she was promised to marry Beile, an evil merchant from the Hada tribe. However, this was just a honey trap: on the way to welcome the bride, the evil merchant was killed by an ambush from the Yehe tribe and Meng Gebulu of the Hada tribe (Meng Gebulu was trying to capture Hada). The evil merchant Baelor is plotting against the chieftainship of the tribe). Later, the Yehe tribe betrothed Dong Ge to Bu Zhantai of the Ula tribe to induce him to participate in the "War of the Nine Tribes". Bu Zhantai subsequently became a prisoner of Nurhachi in this war. When Bu Zhantai was released four years later and planned to marry, Dong Ge had already been betrothed to Nurhachi.

Hearing that Dong Ge was proposing for marriage, Mengbulu, the chief of the Hada tribe, immediately became enthusiastic and signed up. After signing a marriage contract, he declared war on Nurhachi in May of the 27th year of Wanli. In September, Menggebulu was defeated and surrendered to Nurhachi. Nurhaci found an excuse to kill him, and married the daughter of the Fucha clan to his son Wuergu. After the 29th year of Wanli, the Hada tribe was completely annexed by Nurhaci.

The ending of Meng Gebulu did not stop the men who coveted Dong Ge’s beauty from continuing to follow him. In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (AD 1607), Baiyindalibele, the leader of the Huifa tribe, was engaged to Dong Ge and broke his original engagement with Nurhachi's daughter. In September, the furious Jianzhou Jurchens sent troops to Huerqi City and wiped out the Huifa tribe without much effort.

Then, Dong Ge once again entered into a marriage contract with Ulabu Beilebu Zhantai. When Buzhantai heard that he had a chance to win a beautiful woman, he immediately forgot about his sixth marriage and seventh oath with Nurhachi. At that time, he sent heavy troops to ambush Shuerhaqi, one of his father-in-law, and his brothers-in-law Chu Ying and Daishan. After being defeated, he shot Shuerhaqi's daughter E Enzhe who married him with a hammer. Unable to endure it, Nurhachi personally led an army to attack the Ula tribe in September of the 40th year of Wanli. In the first month of the second year, the Ula tribe was destroyed, and Buzhantai fled to the Yehe tribe.

However, Dong Ge, who was very discerning, did not pay attention to Bu Zhantai, the defeated general, and she refused to fulfill the engagement. Bu Zhantai, angry and ashamed, soon died in depression.

In the forty-third year of Wanli (AD 1615), Dong Ge was already thirty-three years old. Gisai, the son of the leader of the Nuantu tribe in Eastern Mongolia, took a fancy to her and asked her brother Buyangu to marry her. However, Brother Dong did not like Gisai. Even if he threatened to conquer Ye Hexiang, she firmly refused to get married. Just as Gisai and Nurhachi were preparing to fight for Dong Ge, Mang Gurdai, the son of Darhan Beile of the Khalkha region of Eastern Mongolia, also came to propose to Dong Ge.

Buyangu, who was exhausted by his sister, probably wanted to lure the two teams of Gisai and Nurhaci away so that they could cause trouble for Mang Gurdai and reap the benefits for himself. Finally, he ignored the warning of the Ming Dynasty border defense general and I made up my mind to marry Dong Ge to Mongolia in September of that year. When Dong Ge got married, she was far older than the common marriage age at that time (some women at her age at that time were probably already grandmothers), so she was also called "Old Lady Ye He" in history books.

However, what Buyangu didn’t expect was that Brother Dong died less than a year after getting married, and Nurhachi’s anger would still be unleashed on Ye Hebu.

Nurhaci officially proclaimed himself emperor and established Houjin in the year when Dong Ge died. Three years later, on April 13, the third year of Tianming in the Later Jin Dynasty (the forty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty), Houjin Khan Nurhachi issued the "Seven Major Hatreds" and broke with the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the "fourth hatred" was the Ming Dynasty. He sided with Ye He, causing the ministry to transfer Dong Ge, who was originally betrothed to him, to Mongolia (the original text is: "In the Ming Dynasty, I crossed the border to help Ye He with troops, so that the daughter I had hired could change her mind to Mongolia. This is a shame").

In August of the next year, Nurhaci used the same reason to destroy the Yehe tribe.

Brother Yehenala Dong is probably one of the most bizarre figures in Chinese history. She seems to have been born specifically to create an excuse for Nurhaci to unify the Jurchens and challenge the Central Plains dynasty. Her marriage experience would put even the worst romance drama writers at a disadvantage. All this incredible thing has verified the wizard's prophecy that she can "make the world prosperous or destroy it". When this task was completed, she passed away.

Brother Dong should be a woman with a strong personality. She strongly rejected the fate of being a "gift". Just as she was changing her marriage again and again, another aunt of hers (Sister Menggu's sister) willingly accepted the fate of marriage and married Nurhachi on her behalf in the 38th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, seven years after her sister's death. . However, even so, it could not change Dong Ge's determination to put Nurhachi to death.

Nurhachi once cursed repeatedly because he could not conquer this peerless beauty, saying: "This girl is unlucky. The Hada, Huifa, and Wula tribes had a grudge against her and fell one after another. Now Mingzhu Ye He, not with me but with Mongolia, I really want to kill Ye He to arouse his anger. I know that this woman will be in trouble and her death is not far away." - Nurhaci is really undeserved. The benefits that Brother Dong brought to him were only inferior to those of his biological mother.

Most Chinese men like to put the responsibility for the country's subjugation on women, saying: "Trouble". If you go by this statement, Brother Dong can be called the most troublesome person in the world.

——From Brother Dong, the meaning of the peerless beauty is clear: all men and countries related to her are "peerless"...

Yehenala The women in this department are always associated with the critical moments of the Aixinjueluo family. In addition to Sister Menggu and Brother Dong at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yehenala family also provided Cixi and Longyu when the Qing Dynasty collapsed. The feng shui of this family is really worth studying.
