nurhaci

nurhaci -lrb- ; ; alternatively nurhachi ; 21 february 1559 -- 30 september 1626 -rrb- was a jurchen chieftain who rose to prominence in the late 16th century in manchuria .
nurhaci was part of the aisin gioro clan , and reigned from 1616 to his death in september 1626 .
nurhaci reorganized and united various jurchen tribes -lrb- the later `` manchu '' -rrb- , consolidated the eight banners military system , and eventually launched attacks on ming china and joseon korea .
his conquest of ming china 's northeastern liaoning province laid the groundwork for the conquest of the rest of china by his descendants , who founded the qing dynasty in 1644 .
he is also generally credited with ordering the creation of a written script for the manchu language .
