Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 817

"The Yeerqiang Khanate was established on the old land of the former Chagatai Khanate in the ninth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty by Said, a descendant of the Chagatai Khanate and the third younger brother of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. It has been 130 years since then. In the sixth year, it was also called the Kashgar Khanate because its capital was in Kashgar, and the Central Asian countries were called Mughalstan because they were established by the descendants of Genghis Khan.”

In the city of Dunhuang, the emperor and his colleagues discussed matters in terms of civil and military matters.

It's the Chinese New Year, and envoys from various countries in the Western Regions have come here, all of them are concerned about this imminent war. Some are talking about making peace, and some are threatening. For some reason, Ming Dynasty did not join forces in the fall to send troops to Yeerqiang last year as previously agreed. , Kazakhs did not send troops, and the Oirat Alliance's own Torghut and Heshuote did not come because of Lu Yuan.

The Khanate and Durbert Khanates only sent out a small number of troops, but they fought on their own. They used troops against Yarkand on different battlefields, but the results were not satisfactory.

Junggar occupied Turpan and Hami before, but the locals entangled in Burke’s riots, drove the Junggars away, and lost troops. This year, Batur Khan attacked several times. The two sides fought in the Turpan Basin. As a result, there were victories and defeats for each other, and the progress was not smooth. .

All of this, of course, has the reason for the failure of the Ming emperor, but of course the emperor deliberately did it behind it.From Zhu Yihai's point of view, the current situation in the Western Regions is actually the same as that in the early Tang Dynasty. Tang and Turks were the same. Fang's nomadic forces, in the final analysis, are still a game of balance.

Now all the tribes of Mongolia belong to Daming, but at most it is regarded as an alliance with Daming, recognizing Daming as the eldest brother, but this alliance is not strong, and once the strength is strong, it may turn against others at any time, so if you want to be stable, you have to balance the various The strength of the younger brothers cannot allow them to develop out of control.

The Junggars have developed rapidly in Moxi in recent years, and the former boss He Shuote could not hold them down long ago. Durbert and Turhut were all beaten by the Junggars and moved westward to the Volga River or eastward to Qinghai-Tibet.

In fact, all the ministries have been dissatisfied with Junggar for a long time, but they used to speak with their fists, and there was nothing they could do when they fought back and forth. But now that the new boss, Daming, has appeared, of course everyone is also intentionally or unintentionally relying on Daming to exclude Junggar. This is part of the strategy It is also in line with long distance and close attack.

Yeerqiang is now a fat sheep, which everyone covets for a long time, but everyone is afraid that others will take it too much.

Yaerqiang, who was waiting to be slaughtered, was not in a hurry to make a move, and they all stared at their biggest opponent, Junggar. On the contrary, they were not so vigilant about the Eastern leader, Ming, because they thought that Daming was far in the east, and their center of gravity was not in the Western Regions, or that Daming did not have the ability to directly grab territory in the Western Regions.

The atmosphere in the Western Regions is very strange now.

But if you can figure out the mystery inside, it is a layer of window paper.

This year Yaerqiang was safe and even made Junggar a little ashamed, not because of how strong he is, nor how weak Ming's holy * alliance is, but everyone is not in a hurry to attack Yarkand, even if Junggar is using troops this year , In fact, I didn't use all my strength, because I had to guard against Chechen Khan and Durbert Khan who were strangling Lute from doing things behind their backs.

All parties were intriguing and guarding against each other, and Yaerqiang was considered to have escaped.

Zhu Yihai played with a Huijiang knife, which was exquisitely made, and cut the mutton very well.

Chagatai is the second son of Genghis Khan. After the founding of Mongolia, he was entrusted with [-] households. He was resolute and good at fighting, and made many military exploits. Take Yulong Jiechi, the old capital of Khwarazmo (now Urgenqi, Uzbek Republic).After the Western Expedition, the old territory of Xiliao was obtained as a fief, and the tent was stationed in Ali Mali (northwest of Huocheng, Xinjiang), and the Chagatai Khanate was established on this basis.

The Chagatai Khanate was established in the old Liao land to the west of Chagatai, and became one of the four major Mongolian Khanates. Later, its descendants merged with the Wokuotai Khanate, and then had both the southern and northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the places east of the Amu Darya River. The strongest In its heyday, its territory stretched from Jiayu Pass in the east, the Amu Darya River in the west, Talbahatai Mountain in the north, and Hindu Kush Mountain in the south.

Chagatai has been an enemy of the Yuan Dynasty for a long time, and has repeatedly fought against the Yuan army, and has been looting the Uighur area.

More than a hundred years later, Hezan Suandan Khan was killed, and the Khanate split into two parts, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire.

The rule of the Genghis Khan family in the Hezhong area basically came to an end.

Tuhei Lu Tieshuer was the first Mongolian Khan to convert to the Green religion. He forced 160,000 Mongolians in the north of the Tianshan Mountains to convert to the Green religion by force. After occupying Hezhong, he handed over the management rights to his son Yeli Yasihuo , He returned to Kashgar by himself, but passed away in the second year.

Timur and Huxin raised troops against Yeli Yasihuo, drove him back to Kashgar, and occupied the Hezhong area. Later, Timur and Huxin clashed. The master of the river.

Hamaluddin's rebellion also occurred in the east. After the death of Bald Heilu Timur Khan, Hamaludin killed Yeli Yasihuo who was driven back by Timur, and seized the Khan's throne, but domestic opponents Under several attacks by Timur, he was forced to flee to the Ilkhanate.

The surviving bald Hei Lu Timur's youngest son Hei'er Huozhe came to the throne and established his capital in Bieshabali. Later his grandson moved the capital to Yilibali (Yining), so East Chagatai is also called Bieshabali. Lose the country of Bali or also force the country.

There are many legends about Timur, a lame man of great ability.

He is a Mongolian aristocrat of Turkic origin. He is the emir of the Turkic Barulas family in the Keshi area. The way of supporting puppets is to divide and rule the river.

Later, he merged with his brother-in-law and seized the Xichahetai regime. He called himself the great emir, set his capital in Balihei, established the Timur Empire, and later moved his capital to Samarkhan and renamed it Sudan.

He later married the daughter of Huo Zhe, the son of Khan Hei in East Chagatai, as his concubine.

Hei Er Huo Zhe is a direct descendant of Chagatai, and naturally a descendant of Genghis Khan, the orthodox golden family. Through this marriage, Timur also gained the legitimacy of his regime in Hezhong.

Chagatai was divided from east to west, and Timur took the river as the core, successively conquered Khwarazm, Afghanistan, and even subdued the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Later, he defeated the Golden Horde Khan Tuotuo, went north to sweep the Golden Horde, and conquered the Ali Sultanate of India in the east, destroying Delhi, Punjab, and Kashmir.He conquered Syria and defeated the Mamluk Dynasty.

In the Battle of Angola, the Ottoman Empire was defeated again, and the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I was also captured. After a series of conquests, the Ottoman Empire started from North India in the east, reached Asia Minor in the west, bordered the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf in the south, and reached the Caspian Sea and Salty Sea in the north. The mighty empire of the sea.

In the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the 69-year-old Timur led 200,000 troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty, but died of illness in Kazakh Erdala.

This hanging hair can be called the number one lame god of war in the ancient and modern world, and he almost revived the Mongolian Empire by himself.

It is a pity that after his death, the Timurid Empire was the same as Mongolia, and its descendants competed with each other for the throne. Afterwards, his four sons, Shah Ruh, unified most of the empire and managed to maintain prosperity for half a century. However, after the death of their father and son, they eventually fell apart. , was eventually replaced by the Uzbeks, and established the Bukhara, Khiva Khanate, etc.

Babur, the fifth grandson of Timur, fled to Kabul, founded the Mughal Empire in South Asia, and beat Indians.

Although East Chagatai was originally the descendant of the golden family supported by various tribes in the east as Khan, but when it encountered a god like a cripple, it could only surrender. East Chagatai has long been in a state of submission to the Timur Empire Gong's state, later in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, Timur's internal strife, Yu Nusi Khan of East Chagatai wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and led his troops to the west. In the name of willing to live in agricultural areas and towns, he plundered his young son and returned to the grassland area.

Yu Nusi Khan's western expedition was successful this time, and he seized Tashkent, Sairan and other places. He himself took Tashkent as his government and never returned east.Ten years later, he died of illness in Tashkent, and the eldest son who accompanied the Western Expedition inherited the Khan throne, but the actual control area was only around Tashkent.

The eastern part of the former Khanate, including the Mughal grasslands, belonged to the youngest son Sutan Aheima who was originally held hostage, and governed Turpan, Chalishu, Kuqa, Aksu and other places. It is divided into two parts, east and west.

Those occupying the east stick to the Mongolian Zhasa and maintain the nomadic life customs of the grasslands, while those living near Tashkent inherit their father's mantle and are keen on the prosperous urban settlement life.

However, the territory in the west is small and weak. Facing the powerful Timurid dynasty, they have always been in an alliance with the leader of the steppe region, Yue Quebie. As a result, after the alliance defeated the Timurid Empire and invaded and occupied the city of Samarkand, they lost their ambitions. The swell, in turn, besieged the tower and failed in an attempt to annex this ally.

Sutanma Heima, who was stationed in Turpan, heard that his elder brother was besieged, so he handed over the political affairs to his eldest son Man Suer, and took his youngest son Sayide to lead his troops to support and helped lift the siege of Tashkent.

But the coalition army of the two brothers fell into the siege of Yue Jibie's army in a place called Ahexi in Central Asia, and finally the entire army was wiped out, and the two brothers became prisoners.

In the last month, others released Sutanma Heima brothers and allowed them to return to the east. As a result, the western regime in Eastern Chagatai collapsed. In the following year, Sutan Heima Khan died of illness in Aksu. After his death, his eldest son Mansuer succeeded Khan bit.

However, the country was unstable at this time. After Aksu succeeded to the throne, he gave up Aksu and retreated to Turpan to stick to it.

However, Sayyid, who originally followed Sutanma Heima to Tashkent, has gradually become a force that cannot be ignored in Central Asia after several years of operation.

Said was wounded in the leg in the Battle of Ahexi and was captured. He served as a servant in Yuejibie tent for a period of time, and then escaped by chance. He first went to his uncle Sutan Mahamu, and then went to the grassland The Kyrgyz people on the island cultivated forces there and established an army.

However, he was soon defeated by his elder brother Sutan Mansuer's expeditionary force, and he fled to Fergana to seek refuge with Yueji others, and then ran to Kabul, Afghanistan with his entourage, to seek refuge with the fifth grandson of Timur, who was also a descendant of the Mongolian royal family. Babur Khan.

The little prince of East Chahar, who can be called immortal Xiaoqiang, has been on the run and has never given up on establishing his own power. He stationed in Andijan, after many battles, finally gathered a group of cronies, and later defeated Egypt Ermi Aba Bajier's attack took thousands of prisoners and formed an army of his own.

Later, Babur Khan was defeated by Yuejiren, and the Hezhong area became Yuejiren's world.Speaking of other people this month, they actually have a lot of background. They are also called Uzbeks.

After the death of Ulugh Beg, the Timur Empire fell into civil strife, and only Ulugh Beg's grandson Buzain briefly unified Khorasan and the middle of the river.

When Bu Sain occupied the river, he still relied on the help of Abu Haier, the moon in the north.
