Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 730 Holy Khan

The Ming Dynasty in the east is far away from them, but they are close friends and close friends. They are worthy of deep friendship. They are not a threat, but they can form alliances and help each other.

The turmoil in the Western Regions is both good and bad for Zhu Yihai. The good thing is that they can't threaten Daming for the time being. The bad thing is that it is too chaotic and the Silk Road is hard to recover. Zhu Yihai is very fancy about the Silk Road trade, which can greatly promote The development of the west even enhanced Ming's restoration of control over the Western Regions.

The main hope is that through this Dengzhou tributary alliance, the main forces in the Western Regions can temporarily reach a peace agreement, which will not only allow them to settle down, but also check and balance each other, and it is easy to lose control when fighting.

"Tsarist Russia is aggressive and very barbaric. It is our common enemy and we must jointly contain it. Daming will fully support the Turghut Khanate to continue to stand on the Volga River Basin to resist the invasion of Tsarist Russia. How much do you need for knives, armor, muskets, cannons, and gunpowder Even though the order is placed, the imperial court will do its best to create supply, and the price is guaranteed to be preferential.”

Provided a large amount of military purchase orders to the severely injured Turghut, and let the Yarkand and Kazakh Khanates cease their troops, and on the condition of resuming and increasing trade.

As for the other parts of Oirat, Zhu Yihai proposed that the Duerbert tribe return to their traditional pastureland along the Irtysh River.

The Duerbert tribe claimed to be the descendants of Bohan, the minister of the Yuan Dynasty. After hundreds of years of reproduction, it was also a large tribe with more than [-] people in the late Ming Dynasty.

Especially when Da Laitesh is the leader, it is even more powerful.

At that time, Oirat had internal and external troubles. It fought against Mobei Mongolia for years, was invaded by Tsarist Russia, fought continuously with Kazakhs, and was attacked by the Yarkant Khanate. However, Oirat had constant internal strife.

In the battle between Oirat, who moved westward, and Khalkha Mongolia, it has always been at a disadvantage and suffered great losses.The western pastures are cut off by the Kazakhs, and the north is invaded by the crazy expansion of Tsarist Russia, and the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia are constantly being attacked.

The Duerbert tribe was nomadic at first between the Irtysh River and the saltwater lake. Later, under the leadership of Da Laitesh, it gradually expanded to the Ob River Basin. Their nomadic land was relatively stable. The middle reaches as the center, expanding to the four directions.

The water and grass are abundant, and the geographical location is good. To the east is the Torghut pastureland, and to the southeast is connected to Junggar and Heshuot. They are far away from Khalkha Mongolia, the main enemy of Oirat at that time, and suffered the smallest losses in successive years of war.

Moreover, Taishi pays attention to marriage, and has marriages with other Oirat tribes. He married the leader of Turhut and the younger sister of Orlek. His wife is his daughter with Orlek.

On the other hand, Da Laitesh is also a very brave man. In order to fight for pasture land, he led the Duerbert tribe to conquer the nomadic Tatars here without hesitation, and even to the neighboring Kazakhs, It is also constantly showing the side of iron and blood, conquering them by force and seizing the pasture.

Because of his flexible means and extraordinary force, Duerbert was the best developed in those few years.It's just that this prosperity is very fragile.

In order to compete for the pasture, Durbert and Turhut had a fierce conflict. Da Laitesh even turned against his brother-in-law and Orlek. In the end, Durbert and Junggar teamed up to force Turhut away to the west.

But when they moved westward, Da Laitesh still led the tribe to attack the Turhut tribe in the westward movement twice, and He Erleke not to be outdone, not only invaded their pasture, but also took away two Dulbert tribe.

After forcing Turhut away, Da Laitesh teamed up with Heshuote Gushi Khan to attack Junggar together, and then sent troops to help Gushi Khan in his expedition to Qinghai, but he died of illness after returning to his hometown.

After his death, Dulbert didn't have an heir with enough prestige. Dulbert was torn apart and fell into chaos. His own part was annexed by their brothers.

Durbert went his separate ways, and two groups moved westward following Torghut. Their traditional grazing land in the middle reaches of the Irtysh River was invaded by Tsarist Russia, and most of Durbert's tribe had to evacuate the traditional grazing land. When reaching the Altai region, they can only rely on the Junggar tribe from the same source.

There are also some who don't want to move westward or attach themselves to Junggar, so they move eastward and attach themselves to Daming.

Tsarist Russia repeatedly asked Durbert to join Tsarist Russia and fight for Tsarist Russia, but Durbert's department didn't like them. They would rather move eastward to attach Ming Dynasty, and it would be convenient for tribute trade.

Before Da Laitesh died, he divided his vassals among his eight sons. Among them, the fourth son, Omubu Daiqing and Shuo, shared the most. In the battle for inheritance, he joined hands with his brother Jimbu to win Victory, he became the new leader, but Duerbert was torn apart. Facing the invasion of Tsarist Russia, he moved away from the old pasture, and joined forces with Kundulun Ubash of the Heshuote Department to nomad together in Baba, near Kazakhstan. In the area of ​​the Kukewusu River on the east side of the Ili River in the east of Lekashi Pool.

He insisted on being friendly with Kazakhs, and even returned some of the captives of Tsarist Russia to improve relations. However, the enmity between Torghut and them was too deep. Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi originally wanted to marry Orlek , to improve the relationship, but in the end they provoked trouble on the grounds that the number of gifts was wrong, and finally killed the new leader.

He was originally a more capable leader, and he tried to revive Dulbert's department. As a result, his death made it difficult for Dulbert to revive. His son, Aldartesh, took over as leader, but with lower prestige.

The leader of the Junggar, Batur Huntaiji, asked the Oirat ministries to send troops to Kazakhstan, but Kundulun Ubash refused to send troops, and he also joined forces with Durbert's ministries to refuse to send troops. Erqitu Chechen Khan mediated, but he refused to listen to orders. As a result, Erqitu invited his uncle Gushi Khan to beat them together with Junggar.

Kundulun Ubash and Durbert's Taiji were defeated, and Junggar took the opportunity to take in many Durbert's troops.

At this time, Dalaitaishi’s eldest son Galedang’s grandson Chuoketuo, Lama Zhabu, Dalaitaishi’s seventh son Tarhun Taiji, etc. were nomadic in the area of ​​Tarachi; Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi His three sons, Qishiqibu, Chagun, and Chechentaiji nomadic in Uduke Menduke; Dalaitaishi's third son Tuoyin nomadic in Harakumu.

At this time, Duerbert was scattered and the pasture was small.

Also because of their division and weakness, they were very respectful to Daming, sent envoys to pay tribute, even sent their daughters as marriage relatives, and even had a good relationship with Kazakhs.

Zhu Yihai is now proposing a plan to let Dulbert's tribes go back to the north of the Ortysh River for nomadic pastures, and their pastures in the south will be allotted to the Heshuote and Junggar tribes.

They are nomadic in the area from the Altay Mountains to the banks of the Ortysh River, all the way to the area outside the Guan in the north of the Hexi Corridor.

As for the Turpan and Hami areas, Turpan was given to the Junggar tribe, and Hami was given to Kundulun Ubashi of Heshuote, who led the Heshuote tribe to nomad here.

The pastures of the Junggar tribe reached the Ortysh River in the north and the Tianshan Mountains in the south. The original Tacheng area of ​​Turghut was also given to Junggar.

The Heshuote Department led by Orqitu Chechen Khan occupies the Yili area.

As for the Yarkand Khanate, they occupied the south of the Tianshan Mountains, plus the Congling and Fergana Basins, and reached the Kunlun Mountains in the south.

The areas south of the Kunlun Mountains, east of the Altyn Mountains, Qinghai Ali Kangzang and other places belong to the Heshuote Khanate.

In order to distinguish the two Heshuots, the one remaining in the northern Yili of the Tianshan Mountains is called the Julut Khanate.

Du Erbert, who returned to the old ranch, in order for them to gain a firm foothold, Zhu Yihai assigned them the area north of the Great Wall in the Hexi Corridor and south of the desert and vast sea, and at the same time opened the border market and sold them arms.

In the Duerbert Khanate, the Khan Aldartes bestowed the title of King of Jinshan County, married the princess, and conferred the title of Prince Consort Duwei, and established Jinshan Province based on its territory, and Jinshan Protectorate. The title of Earl, each designated as the Dudu Mansion, was granted the title of Dudu.

In the Junggar Khanate, Batuer Huntaiji bestowed the title of Beiting County King, and also gave the married princess the title of Consort Duwei, and set Beiting Province and Beiting Dufu Mansion with its land.

Concerned about the Rut Khanate, with Orqitu Chechen Khan as the king of Anxi County, and set up Anxi Province and Anxi Dufu.

The Yeerqiang Khanate, with Khan Abdullah as the king of the Tianshan Mountains, established the Tianshan Province, the Tianshan Protectorate, and unified the west of the Kunlun Mountains, the south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Tashkent and Fergan regions.

Heshuo Tegushi Khan was the king of Heyuan County, and his land was located in the three provinces of Qinghai, Xikang, and U-Tsang, together with the Duhu Mansion and the Dudu Mansion.

Kundulun Ubashi was stationed in Hami, granted the title of Duke of Yiwu County, Governor of Yiwu, and set up the Governor's Mansion of Yiwu.

Geographically, the Western Regions are north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, but they can be divided into the Turpan-Hami Basin, the Junggar Basin, the Ili River Valley, and the Tarim Basin. The Jinshan and Fergana Basins belong to the periphery.

Zhu Yihai tried his best to separate the major forces in the Western Regions by using these major geographical plates.

The Junggar Khanate, the Rut Khanate, the Durbert Khanate, plus the Yarkand Khanate, the four major powers, and then the Heshuote Khanate in Qinghai-Tibet, and the Kazakh Khanate in the Kazakh Grassland, and the Volga Khanate The Turghut Khanate first brought them together and put them all under the Celestial Dynasty system.

Even the three tribes of Khalkha in Mobei gave them three khanates, divided them into land boundaries, and then signed a covenant, agreeing not to invade beyond the borders, etc. This is tantamount to drawing the land as a prison and restricting them.

Especially for Junggar, which has been expanding in recent years, they are neither allowed to fight Kazakhs nor Yarkand, and they are not allowed to annex Durbert and so on.

As for the Huite tribe, they used to be nomadic in the Chagatai Khanate and the Kipchak Grassland, and later crossed the Altai Mountains to Mobei and became a strong support force for the Mongolian Khan.After Turhut moved westward, the Huite tribe moved to Tacheng for a generation.

It used to be the vanguard force of Khalkha in attacking Oirat, but now it has become one of the four Oirat tribes, and several of them go to the Volga River and Qinghai respectively.

Now the strength is relatively weak, and there are no wise leaders. They have been accepted by Junggar, Heshuote, etc. Zhu Yihai now lets Huite move back to the nomadic areas of Altai, making them part of the Durbert Khanate. Designate pastures for them and set up a governor's mansion.

Some of them are still merged into Junggar and Jenrut, Heshuot, and Turhut. They can be regarded as one family belonging to four families, and they are divided into the Huite ministries of the Five Khanates. Under the jurisdiction of the Five Khanates, in fact, Zhu Yihai directly distributed them to several Khanates and sold them.

This division of the Khanate, the Governor's Mansion, and the Governor's Mansion is actually only drawn on the basis of reality. Daming and all parties joined forces to discuss, and Zhu Yihai proposed to draw such a line of influence.

The benefits are naturally available to everyone.

The khanates established new boundaries, formed friendly alliances, and jointly deal with the eastward expansion of Tsarist Russia, and resumed Silk Road trade, made money together, fought against Tsarist Russia together, and even married each other as relatives.

Let's all recognize Daming as the big brother, respect Daming as the Holy Khan,

Although this big brother is only in name, with such a covenant, it is also convenient for stable development.

For the various ministries of the Oirats, it is really too much for them to fight everywhere these years, and they themselves have been fighting in chaos. Kazakhs and Yarkands have also been bitten by Oirats in recent years.The Kazakhs are the most pitiful. They were beaten by Tsarist Russia, forced to surrender and pay tribute, and beaten by the Oirats. Even the Turghuts who ran to the Volga River often poked them a few times for nothing.

Mobei Khalkha has been beating Oirat in the early years, and he has won a lot, but these years he has also been busy facing the invasion of Tsarist Russia to the east. In the past two years, he was forced to join the Oirat League in order to fight against the rise of Houjin.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is rising, it is very friendly to the Mongolian tribes. It is also a border market trade, and it is canonized. They also said that they will unite to fight Tsarist Russia and the Cossacks. They are very happy.

In particular, the Son of Heaven is willing to marry a princess and be pro-Mongolian. This is an honor that has never been seen before. Although it is said that the adopted daughter of the emperor bestows the title of princess, this is also a princess.

In the Tokyo League, Daming is the landlord and has the home field advantage.

Although the negotiation went through several ups and downs, it was still moving in the direction Zhu Yihai expected. The parties just liked to bargain and compare with each other.

The Mongols are very satisfied with canonization and trade opening.

Although the Yarkand envoys were a little unhappy, they lost the Tuha Basin, and even the Seven Guards of Kansai may lose, but the strength shown by Daming, especially the other meaning revealed in the open and in the dark, if Yarkand did not join the Celestial Dynasty The system does not ally with everyone.

Then he will become an enemy. At that time, Junggar, Jailut, Heshuote, and even Duerbert and Daming will join forces to attack again. At that time, the Iron Gate Gate will definitely not be able to hold, and they may even be destroyed. country.

This kind of real threat prevents the ambassador from leaving the negotiating table.

After all, all the neighbors around have gathered together to form an alliance. If you don’t join, you will naturally be targeted. In the last war, the Ming Dynasty only sent troops to occupy the Sanwei of Kansai, and did not participate in the attack. .

If the Ming army also joined the siege of Tiemen Pass, it would be difficult to defend Tiemen Pass, and even other places would be difficult to defend.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty also used the same method against Junggar. The boundaries drawn by the imperial court are recognized by all other families, but your family is not willing. This is against everyone, so you must think carefully.

Oirat has been in civil strife for so many years, and there are many old grievances. If you want to fight against everyone, Daming can easily pull an anti-Jungar alliance. Will Junggar be able to deal with it by then?

Daming is for the good of everyone, for the stability of the Western Regions, everyone sat down and had a good talk, and after the talk, go back and report to the leaders of the various clans, and then gather together to form a covenant code and jointly maintain it.

The imperial court basically used this method to deal with the tribes of Monan Mongolia, but the strength of each tribe in Monan Mongolia was weak, and they had already been divided and drawn. It doesn't matter if you wait and see for the time being, the imperial court will move the capital next, and then it will still go to the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Yihai doesn't care whether the current alliance with the Mongols is an alliance or a restraint. These are not important. The important thing is to be able to achieve the needs of the current situation, achieve the current strategy of Ming Dynasty, and stabilize the Mongols in Moxi and Mobei. Can go all out to deal with Jurchens.
