Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 897 Curry Terrace Conference (Part [-])
To some extent, the Kuritai Assembly should be regarded as the highest authority in Mongolia, because it can not only decide military actions, but also elect the Great Khan.

Of course, it can also decide other major events. For example, in the Yuan Dynasty, it could also decide the abolition of the Zongwang.

The participants of the Kuritai Conference are also different from the similar system in the Central Plains. "Concubines, Zongwang, relatives, ministers, generals, deacons, and all court vassals are present."

Look at Mongolia, the concubines have always been able to participate in politics openly, and they are so advanced that some politicians hundreds of years later will be ashamed of them.It is precisely because of this system that Mongolia has not only a political strong woman like Manduhai, but also a useless female regent like Empress Naimajin.

To this day, the Mongolian tradition remains, just as the convener of this Kuritai Conference is not Dacheng Taiji Ba Hannaji, but Zhong Jinhatun, the regent.

In fact, there was also a period of "desolation" in the Curry Taiwan Conference, that is, when the Yuan Dynasty still occupied the Central Plains, the role of the Curry Taiwan Conference was greatly weakened.

This is understandable. After all, the Kuritai Assembly itself is a kind of "elective monarchy" and is the product of the enfeoffment structure of the Mongolian nobles. It has a society that gathers scattered and independent fiefdom nobles into a unified community. Function.

However, the way of political control in the Yuan Dynasty was realized by the top-down centralized imperial power-bureaucratic system. In this way, the Curitai system lost its functional significance in the grassland period.

However, due to the customary force of the old tradition itself, the political need to maintain the privileges of the Mongolian aristocrats, and the incomplete reform of the Han law system by the ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty, this tradition remained as a kind of "ancestral system" and remained in the ruling class of the Yuan Dynasty. political life and changes under new historical conditions.

This change is manifested in the fact that, on the one hand, those factors that constitute the external form of this system, such as the noble court meeting, the Mongolian special etiquette of supporting the monarch on the throne, banquets and rewards, and the reading of Genghis Khan Zhasa, etc., have remained relatively stable. In the enthronement ceremony of each emperor in the Yuan Dynasty.

Of course, this kind of clan aristocratic conference has lost any meaning of "election".The new emperor used this grand ceremony of "the left and right parts are completed" to assert his political authority and legitimacy in line with the "ancestral precepts".The clan aristocrats at all levels who are scattered and have lost political power can take this opportunity to obtain a fortune.

On the other hand, the factor that constitutes the content of the Kuritai system—the bottom-up aristocracy’s consciousness of choosing a king, catered to the development trend of the internal contradictions of the ruling class in the Yuan Dynasty, and gradually degenerated into an ideology in which various factions of bureaucrats and aristocrats competed for the highest power. tool.

However, in addition to the above factors, there is another important point why the Kuritai system continued in the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty must also be the Great Khan of Mongolia. Mongolian tradition.

As the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the Mongolian Khan at the same time, the procedure for inheriting the Khan's throne still had to go through the Curritai, and through the Curritai to obtain the support and recognition of the kings and nobles, he could obtain the legal status of the Great Mongolian Khan. At the same time, becoming the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is justified.

In other words, from the great khan to the emperor, in order to obtain legal status and power, formally it must still go through the kuritai.

This time, at the Kulitai Conference convened by Zhong Jinhatun, the matter to be discussed and decided is very clear, that is, to determine the ownership of the Khan of the Tumed Department.

Theoretically speaking, Tumed is only one of the [-] households in Mongolia, and its "Great Khan" is actually only equivalent to the Zongwang of the Yuan Dynasty. There is no need to bring it to the Curry Taiwan for discussion, because the Great Yuan Emperor and Mongolian Great Khan can decide.

But the situation is clearly different now.

First of all, Hanaji himself is not the eldest son of Altan Khan, he is not even the eldest grandson, and it is not in line with the "ancestral system" of the eldest son inheritance system established by Dayan Khan that he is the great Khan of Tumed, so it must be borrowed. It is up to the traditional prestige of the Kuritai Congress to justify his position as the Great Khan.

Secondly, if Hanaji cannot be recognized by the Kuritai Conference, he can only strive for the canonization of Tumen Khan, the Great Khan of All Mongolia, but is that a joke? Tumen Khan obviously will not recognize a hardcore star fan The profuse Khan of Tumed, so... the Battle of Monan broke out.

Previously, when Zhong Jinhatun issued an invitation to convene the Kulitai Conference, in addition to the Tumed Headquarters, even the Ordos Division and the Qinghai Tumed Division only sent people to answer "ready to attend", but did not take any action at all.

It wasn't until the result of the Monan War that the dust settled that the Mongolian nobles from various ministries seized the time to set off for Guihua City.

The consequences of Tumen's defeat were very serious, because just four days after Gao Yushi and Hannaji were driven to naturalization together, three important people arrived together.

These three are Qiejin Huangtaiji from the Ordos Department, Huoluochi Baduer from Qinghai Tumed (Yongxiebu), and... Chang Ang, one of the three guards of Duoyan!
The Ordos Department and the Yongxiebu Department are both one of Tumen Khan's "five rulers", but because they both belong to right-wing Mongolia, now they quietly left Chahanhot and returned to China after Tumen Khan's defeat. It is not completely unreasonable to come to participate in the Curry Taiwan Conference, but the significance of coming here is quite different.

This move is suspected of betraying Tumen!

Uh, well, I'm afraid this is not a suspicion, but a clear performance of re-alignment.

When Gao Wushi heard the news, he just nodded with a smile on his face, but this was purely deliberate pretentiousness. In fact, he was overjoyed in his heart—Duoyan Sanwei sometimes rebelled, sometimes paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and sometimes followed Tumen to harass him Daming, it made Daming have a headache all the time.

And now that Chang Ang has come to naturalize, it is equivalent to re-recognizing a big brother, that is Tumed - this is his performance of re-recognizing the "big brother" as a Mongolian. In fact, because Tumed is now Daming's younger brother, Of course, Chang Ang can no longer play double-sided games with Daming, otherwise where will Tumot's face be put?Think Tumed, the right-wing leader, dare not beat him?

You know, Tumed insisted on recognizing Daming as the "big brother" before, not because he was beaten by Daming in the military, but because of economic considerations, and the focus was on Tumed's overall strength.

Daming felt that the three guards of Duoyan were difficult to deal with, mainly due to the nomadic nature of the Mongols, and it was difficult to carry out actual strikes—just like this time when Qi Jiguang sent troops, Chang Ang left if he couldn’t beat him, and Qi Jiguang could only temporarily occupy Daning City and other follow-up changes , it is impossible to chase Chang Ang.

But it would be completely different if Tumed was to deal with Chang Ang.Tumed's headquarters alone can muster almost [-] cavalry, not to mention Erdos and Yongxiebu's two powerful younger brothers. Chang'ang's [-] to [-] troops are no match for Tumed.

As for Chang Ang, he can still run...but where?The problem for the Ming people is that they can’t occupy Chang’ang’s pastures, but does Tumot think there are too many pastures?
So after the calculation, Chang Ang realized that his situation was not good. When he was hesitating, Qie Jin and Huo Luochi suddenly came to visit together, told him about their defeat and loss, and invited him to join him. Go to Guihua City to participate in the Curry Terrace Conference.

Shocked, Chang Ang immediately agreed - he had no relationship with Bahanaji, even if he wanted to, it would be difficult to find a suitable reason, but with Qiejin and Huoluochi as intermediaries, he and Bahanaji were on the same page. Talking!

Changing the family also requires an opportunity. It is very difficult to guarantee one's worth by "self-recommended pillow mat".

Han Naji received these three as Tumet's "candidate Khan", and then immediately sent someone to invite Gao Wushi to come to the meeting.

Not long after, Gao Yushi, the "imperial envoy of King Shunyi" of the Ming Dynasty, came to Dazhao Temple.
