Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1972 Inside and Outside the Palace ([-]) Chahar Surrounded by Wolves
Of course, it is not very clear what Brihatu has done is highly pragmatic, but he vaguely guessed in this direction.

Of course, highly pragmatic guesses are not blind guesses, and there must always be some basis.He sums up based on the motives of all parties, the geographical structure, the historical process, etc., and then what he forms is called a guess, otherwise it becomes a wild idea.

In this, although the historical process has been broken by him, but when it comes to the Western Regions, it is nothing more than the Chahar magpie nest occupied by him who was driven away, and in turn ruled the so-called Yarkand.When the Chahar tribe arrived there, the situation they faced would not be much different from that of the original Yarkand.

If you have to say yes, it may be that in the short term, Burihatu will feel that there are enemies on all sides, especially because he has Tumed in the northeast, Daming in the east, and Tumed in Qinghai in the southeast. These three places are clear. hostility.

To the north of him is Junggar, and friends and enemies should be undecided.This is because Junggar has always had ambitions for the Yarkand region. The original Yarkand has obviously begun to decline. The Junggar side must be ready to move. Unfortunately, the Junggar people are not united and are fighting each other, so they cannot put their ambitions into practice. .

However, with the arrival of Chahar, the chances of Junggar swallowing Yarkand will be greatly reduced, which will definitely affect their attitude towards Chahar—even in name, Junggar also recognizes the Chahar tribe as the "Mongol Great Khan". Khan Court", but that is useless, because for the Mongols, the name is worthless in the face of actual interests.

Further south is Uszang, but there is no need to pay attention here, because it is too difficult to go there, and it is almost impossible for people there to come to the Yarkand area.In addition, for Buri Hatu, even if U-Tsang was handed over to him to rule, he might not be very interested. After all, the transportation between the two places is too inconvenient. It doesn't help in any way, and there's no need to be a distraction.

The west side is more complicated. The first thing to talk about is the so-called "Three Khanates of Central Asia".

The so-called "Three Khanates of Central Asia" are the three Khanates established by the newly formed Uzbeks in Central Asia after the demise of the Shaybani Dynasty, namely the Bukhara Khanate, the Kokand Khanate, and the Khiva Khanate. Khanate.

The history of these three Khanates should basically constitute the modern history of Central Asia.Since the three khanates were basically born out of the Shaybani dynasty, and because of the chaos of the Central Asian ruling group, the establishment time and division of each khanate are different, which is quite confusing.

Some methods divide the Khanate of Bukhara into different dynasties.The Shaybani dynasty is the first generation, and the Shaybani are the founders.However, there are also sayings that Bukhara was established as the capital in 1583, and this year is already the 11th year of the Ming Dynasty Wanli.

After Shaybani Khan died in battle in 1508, his nephew Obedura took control of the real power of the Uzbek Khanate, and his base was Bukhara.Obedura is said to be versatile, and under his rule, Bukhara became the center of literature, art and learning in Central Asia.

In 1539, the upper ruling group in Bukhara split again and fell into internal strife. Prince Abdullah Sultan stood out and gradually became the most powerful one.The prince succeeded to the Khan in 1583, and Bukhara was officially established as the capital of the Khanate, so some people call this time the time when the Bukhara Khanate was established.

The second dynasty of the Bukhara Khanate is the Astrakhan Dynasty, and the rulers are the Zani family, who are the descendants of the Astra Khanate, which was originally a vassal state of the Chincha Khanate.However, their stories have nothing to do with Gao Yushi and Brihatu for the time being, so I won’t say much here, just fast forward to the Khiva Khanate.

The main site of the Khiva Khanate is Khwarazm, and the capital is Urgenqi, which is the famous Yulong Chijie in history.Yulong Chijie is a place full of disasters. It was destroyed by wars many times and rebuilt many times. Later, it was renamed Urgenqi.

Because the khanate regime eventually moved its capital to Khiva, it was called the Khiva Khanate.The establishment of this khanate essentially stems from the resistance to Persia.

The general history of the Khiva Khanate is like this: After the decline of the Timur Empire, the Persian Empire took the opportunity to invade the Khwarazm area. Then it was annexed.

Although both Persia and Hezhong area believe in a certain religion, Hezhong belongs to the XN faction, and Persia belongs to the SY faction, so there are constant conflicts between ZJ and ZJ in Khwarazm Prefecture.Later, the ZJ group of Khwarazmo secretly welcomed Ilbas, the descendant of the Golden Horde Khan, and established the Khanate in 1515 to resist Persia.

This khanate is the Khiva Khanate.In 1594, five years earlier, the country had been briefly annexed by the Khanate of Bukhara, but it was soon restored.

Khiva Khan has internal strife and strong neighbors outside, so the struggle has always been fierce, and even the king of Khan is often abolished at will.This unlucky situation was not changed until the later period of the Khanate, when there was a hereditary dynasty called the Hongji Dynasty.This dynasty survived until... the USSR came.However, this has nothing to do with this book, so let’s leave it at that.

The last one is the Kokand Khanate, which can be said or not, because it doesn't exist at all.The Kokand Khanate is the latest of the three Khanates, and its territory is mainly in the Fergana region, so it is also called the Fergana Khanate.The establishment of this khanate was gradually formed during the struggle with the Junggar khanate in the original history... forget it, there is no need to explain it.

Generally speaking, the Khanate of Bukhara and the Khanate of Khiva came from the Uzbeks who originally ruled the river, and the ancestors of the Kokand Khanate were the Uzbek tribe Minger, who were originally a member of Bukhara. The custodial part was not independent until later.

The relationship between the three is also very delicate (of course there are only two at present), and there are often situations where they take advantage of each other and rob each other.For example, when Bukhara wanted to seize the city of Kokand, Khiva came to sneak attack, which made the Khanate of Bukhara unable to fight Kokand with all its strength, and Bukhara would also intervene in the civil strife in Kokand. interfere in its politics.For example, Hudoyar Khan's superior position is the "masterpiece" of Bukhara Iminas Rula's son and the next Imi Muzafardin.

Now that the Three Kingdoms do not exist, there are only two countries, so the relationship is not too complicated, because it is more straightforward: the daily mentality is "one of us must die".

However, although the Kokand Khanate does not yet exist, there is another larger "third country", which is the Kazakh Khanate located to the north of them.

The Kazakh Khanate belongs to the Mongolian Khanate, a country founded by the descendants of the Mongolian Golden Family between 1456 and 1847.It was founded by Sultan Kerekhan and Janibek Khan of the Jochi lineage.

They officially broke away from the Golden Horde in 1456 and migrated to Mughalstan, the Chu River, and Talas.The Eastern Chagatai Khanate did not take Hua II and Han Nusi to set aside Kuqibash, a place in Mughalstan, for them to live in. In 1465-1466, a large number of nomads broke away from Abu Haier. He died in battle this year, and his land was taken over by the Kazakh Khanate.A purely nomadic country was established and officially established in 1470, also known as "Turkestan".

The Kazakh Khanate occupied a relatively large territory in its heyday. The area where they lived was called the Qincha Grassland, which was divided into Dayuzzi, Zhongyuzi and Xiaoyuzi.Also known as large account, medium account, small account.

The medium tent is located in the central highlands of Kazakhstan, the small tent is located from the Ural River to the Caspian Sea, and the large tent is located from the west of Lake Balkhash to Turkestan.Due to the geographical relationship, Xiaozhang also absorbed many Nogai people.

At that time, they had a vast territory, extending to the Irtysh River in the east, the Ishm River, Turgai Prefecture, and Omsk in the north, the Caspian Sea in the west, and the Syr Darya River in the south.In the era of Hasimu Khan, the country had a population of more than one million and a military strength of 30.

After the death of Janibek Khan, Hasimu Sultan came to the throne, the country flourished, and he occupied Tashkent. He also repelled the attack of Shaybani - the one mentioned above when talking about the Bukhara Khanate.

Hasmu Khan once received Said Khan of the Yarkand Khanate in Turkestan, and his winter pasture was in the Haratar Valley.This period was also a period of massive expansion of the Kazakh Khanate.

By 1525, the Ming Dynasty had already been Jiajing for four years, and the forces of the Kazakh Khanate and Kyrgyzs finally met in Mughalstan, and jointly defeated the army of the Chagatai Khanate Yarkand.

However, it may be "Hu Wu's luck for a hundred years". After the death of Hasimu Khan, the Kazakh Khanate began to decline-of course, it was not the kind that fell into a slump in an instant. a brief peak.

In 1568, the second year of Longqing, the year when Gao Gong was forced to retire and return to teach Gao Yushi, the Kazakh Khanate defeated the Nogai by the Emba River and extended its power to Astrakhan.

From 1583 to 1598, that is, from the 11th year of Wanli to this year (referring to the 26th year of Wanli, but now it is the end of the year, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon), Tawu Kal Khan exercised the power of the Khan, and the military power and political influence of the Kazakh Khanate just reached one peak.

It was this year (1598) that he personally led the army to occupy the city of Samarakhan and besieged Bukhara and Khiva.In the autumn of this year, Bukhara and Turkestan negotiated peace, and the two sides signed the Bukhara-Kazakh Treaty.

The Bukhar-Kazakh Treaty stipulated that the entire South Kazakhstan and Tashkent region, Samare Khan including the entire Fergana region would be merged into the Kazakh Khanate from Bukhara.

The national power of Kazakhstan and its relationship with the Bukhara Khanate is here first, and now another faction is introduced, a faction that Ming is quite familiar with: Oala.

As mentioned in Volume 1524 of this book, Oara gradually moved westward due to the pressure from Eastern Mongolia after the reorganization of Dayan Khan.Following this topic (it seems a little too far...), we will talk about the conflict with the Kazakhs in [-] after Wala moved westward.

Around 1525 (still the fourth year of Jiajing), the so-called "200-year war" between Oirat and Kazakhs began.

In 1572, that is, the sixth year of Longqing, I Da had just completed the tribute, and I Da Khan sent Huang Taiji to conquer the west (see the introduction of Huang Taiji's life in this book when Gao Wushi pacified the Northwest for the specific process), and marched in Tuo Kemoke—that is, Broken Leaf City.

Huang Taiji defeated Aksar Khan in Shilamoreng, plundered his subordinates, and captured Qiu Geyi Fujin, and Qingbatur took him as his wife.

However, the main reason for the expedition to cut off Huangtaiji was that Altan Khan wanted to show his strength, and he came back after killing the Quartet. No matter how powerful you are, you will always be our subjects.

This move does not have much practical significance to Altan Khan, but it is very bad news for the Weitla Mongolia, that is, Oara, because the Western Expedition to cut off Huang Taiji has greatly weakened their strength. .

In the original history, during the period from 1615 to 1652, the Kazakh Khanate finally defeated the Oirat attack and occupied the western region of the Oirat Khanate dominated by Junggar, namely the Qihe area.But this hasn't happened yet, so it won't start.

In short, the Kazakh Khanate is not at its peak right now, at least it must be considered a powerful power in this region.However, it has to face the occasional attacks from the Oala tribes and also has to wrestle with the Bukhara Khanate, so its strategic situation is not very good.

Oh, I seem to have forgotten to mention a very important relationship: the famous "Zungar" in later generations is actually only one of the "Four Divisions of Oala".Of course, they are currently the most powerful of the four.

To sum up, Central Asia as a whole is a mess.But if you look at it separately, Oala (Weitra), Kazakhstan, and Bukhara all have quite strong strengths.

How powerful is it specifically... At least judging from the paper data, the Chahar Department is only counted as the headquarters that brought Yarkand, and any of these three companies may be stronger than them.Fortunately, Burhatu's methods are so clever that he has stabilized the Yarkand area in just a few years, and can use the local people to do some things to a certain extent-except for fighting.

But that's it. The Central Asia that Brihatu is facing is a chaotic Central Asia. It's hard to say whether these three families are enemies or friends. Maybe they are still friends today, but they have already killed them tomorrow morning.

The reasons are not complicated. No matter which one of these three families, they all coveted Yarkand before.Although Yerkand has a new owner now, but this new owner was expelled by Daming, it can be seen that even if it is not weak in strength, at least it is in a state of "the current strength is greatly damaged".

If it is the former, since your strength is not strong, then everyone is a nomad. It is normal for me to covet it for a while, and sending troops to test the details is also part of the question.

If it's the latter, then you have to brace yourself to deal with it, but don't wait for you to recover your strength and turn hostile towards me.Therefore, it stands to reason that we should also test and test. If it is easy to fight, we should fight down earlier to expand our power. If it is not easy to fight... then find a small notebook and write it down first. In the future, you will be my next target after defeating the enemy at hand.

After thinking about it in this way, Gao Yushi can quickly deduce that although the Chahar tribe has grabbed a piece of geomantic treasure land after moving westward, it is actually in a disadvantageous situation surrounded by enemies on all sides, even surrounded by wolves.

Under such circumstances, Brihatu will definitely not sit still. In terms of his vision and ability, he will definitely choose to take the initiative by himself, make something happen first, and let others revolve around his baton— — Just like when he single-handedly contributed to the Northwest Rebellion.
