Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 821 For the Alliance
Dunhuang.

Crescent Palace.

By a clear spring in the sand dunes, the emperor stood up and raised his wine glass high.

"I wish you success in destroying Yarkand, let's do it!"

Junggar Khan, Heshuote Khan, Durbert Khan, Chechen Khan, Zasaktu Khan, Tuxietu Khan, Jailut Khan, Turhut Khan, and Kazakh Khan got up one after another, and the nine in Moxi Mobei Khan shared a toast.

"Hey!"

On the other side, envoys from the Bukhara Khanate, the Khiva Khanate, and the Minger Ministry of the Uzbek Khanates from the Central River area also toasted.

And the envoys of the two great powers from the south, the Mughal Empire in Tianzhu and the Safavid Dynasty of the Third Persian Empire, also raised their cups together.

At this moment, a new powerful alliance was formally established, an alliance proposed by the Great Son of Heaven of the Eastern Empire, with the common purpose of destroying Yarkand and rebuilding the international trade routes of the Western Regions.

Zhu Yihai drew a big pie for everyone. Everyone will have huge benefits in this alliance. The Moxi Oirats, Kazakhs, and Uzbeks can directly obtain land, and the Mobei Mongolians can obtain slaves and livestock money. Even the Mughals and Persia were able to open up trade lines, and even obtain slave money.

At this moment, no one cares about the Yarkand people anymore. Although they have always claimed that they are the heirs of the Chagatai Khanate and the Mongolian Golden Family, who cares.

The Mughal Empire originally had a deep relationship with Yarkand. Babur, the founding emperor of the Mughal Empire, which was established for more than 100 years, was the sixth grandson of Timur, and Timur was a Turkic with Mongolian ancestry. Split from the Chagatai Khanate to stand on its own, occupy Hezhong, and dominate Central Asia.

His sixth grandson, Babur, was born in Fergana. At that time, the Timurid Empire had long since collapsed. Mahamu of Hetai was defeated by the Uzbek Shaybani, so he had to flee to Kabul.

It was not until Shaybani died that he took the opportunity to form an alliance with the Persian Safavid Empire and fight back to Samarkand, but he could not get the support of the locals, so he had to retreat to Kabul, turned around and entered North India, defeating the Delhi Sultan China, defeated the coalition forces of the Indian princes, and finally established the Mughal Empire. From then on, it developed in the South Asian subcontinent with peace of mind.

In fact, the Mughal Empire has always had nostalgia for the Hezhong area, but unfortunately, it has never had a chance to kill it back.

When Said, the founding king of Yarkand, was in exile, he was attached to Babur Khan. At that time, Babur Khan was still in the Hezhong area.

Babur Khan, Said Khan, and Shaybani of Uzbekistan at that time, the three could be called the wandering little princes of Central Asia, and they could also be called the people favored by the heavens. Powerful Khanate.

The khanate established by Shaybani back then has now divided into the Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate, as well as the almost self-reliant Minge Tribe. After a hundred years of separatism and turmoil in Yarkand, it has finally provoked the undeserved Those who provoked will be terminated.

The envoys of the Mughal Empire were ordered by the emperor to form an alliance. In the end, they did not choose Yarkand, which had a long history, but wanted to join the Ming Dynasty to carve up Yarkand.

Regardless of whether they come from the same source or share common beliefs, these are not worth mentioning in the face of real national interests. Just like Said and Babur, they repeatedly jumped back and forth. There is no justice, only interests.

The Safavid Dynasty, also known as the Third Persian Empire, is also called the Safavid Dynasty. Just by looking at the name of the Third Empire, one can know that it is related to the first and second Persian Empires.

The First Persian Empire was a powerful empire more than 500 years earlier than the Roman Empire. It collapsed in Asia, Africa and Europe, and was later defeated by Alexander of Macedonia. It was briefly Hellenized.

Later, after two dynasties, the Sasanian Dynasty appeared, which was also the Second Persian Empire. It was one of the Western duo that fought against the Byzantine Empire for hundreds of years. Later, in the early Tang Dynasty, the Arabs rose up and fought with the Eastern Roman Empire. Sasanian, which was weakened by the empire, was attacked by Uncle Awei, and the Persian prince fled to Datang, where he was canonized as the Protector of Persia.

After the Arabs conquered Persia, they were forced to convert. At that time, the princes and nobles of Persia also continued to rebel, and the Tang Dynasty in the East also made expeditions to the Western Regions, constantly driving the Turkic people to the west.

The Arabs drove away the tigers, hired the Turks to suppress the Persians, and at the same time allowed the Turks to migrate into Persia.

After that, the Turkic people became more and more powerful in Persia and established several Turkic dynasties, but they were eventually crushed by the Mongolian iron hooves that marched westward.

Hulagu's western expedition, Khwarazm established by the Turks was defeated, and Kublai Khan's younger brother Hulagu established the Ilkhanate with Persia as the center.

However, less than a hundred years after its establishment, Timur rose strongly. This Turkic man with Mongolian descent swept across Central Asia and conquered the Ilkhanate. However, after his death, the Timur Empire quickly became chaotic. A branch of the Turks , the Turkmen invaded the Persian region and replaced Timur as the new ruler. They established two dynasties. After a war, the White Sheep Dynasty defeated the Black Sheep Dynasty and unified Persia.

Later, the Persian Ismail, the grandson of the founding king of the Aries Dynasty, united with the militias of Azerbaijan and Eastern Turkey, overthrew the Aries Dynasty and established the Safi Dynasty, which was re-established by the Persians 800 years after the fall of the Second Persian Empire. Dynasty, so it is also called the Third Persian Empire.

Ismaili takes Islam as the state religion, and claims that he has the blood of the Sasanian royal family of the Second Persian Empire, so he won the support of more Persians.

The Safavid Dynasty can also be said to have originated from the Safi Order. The Safi Order was originally an important ally of the Aries Dynasty. It helped the Aries Dynasty to almost unify the entire territory of Persia, and made great contributions to the demise of the Aries Dynasty and the Black Sheep Dynasty. .

But when the Black Sheep Dynasty fell, the Aries Dynasty was unwilling to share wealth with Safi, and wanted to get rid of it quickly.

After experiencing the tragic childhood of his father and brother in exile and the death of his father and brother, Ismail finally defeated the main force of the Aries Dynasty with the help of the Safi Church and the red-headed militia at the age of 15, took control of Tabriz, and established from the Safavid dynasty.

After he wiped out the remnants of the Aries Dynasty, he turned his attention to the area in the middle of the river. After that, in the Battle of Mulu, he defeated the Uzbeks and killed their Khan, and Babur Khan, the grandson of Timur VI, even directly Back to South Asia.

Since then, a Central Asian pattern has been formed that has remained unchanged for nearly a hundred years. Safi ruled Khan Persia, Mughals ruled South Asia and North India, Yarkand ruled Huijiang, and Uzbeks ruled Hezhong.

As the Oirat Mongols were driven to Moxi by Khalkha, the situation in the Western Regions began to change, and when the Emperor of Heaven also led the Eastern Army, the situation became more complicated.

The era of great change has arrived.

At that time, Timur had no rivals in sweeping all over the world. In his later years, he planned to conquer Daming, but he died halfway.Said also planned to conquer U-Tsang, but he also died on the way.

After the arrival of the Oirats, Yarkand became chaotic and weakened in the internal royal and religious struggles, and was constantly oppressed by the Oirats.The Uzbeks in the river also split into two Khans and became weaker and weaker day by day.

Neither the Shah Jahan of the Mughal Empire nor the Safi Empire were reconciled to the division of Central Asia by Ming and Oirat Mongols. After a balance between left and right, they did not intend to help Yarkand, who was also in the green camp, but joined with Ming. Carve up Yarkand.

The centuries-old pattern in the river will be completely broken, and everyone wants to get a share.

"Dry!"

Zhu Yihai smiled all over his face.

This is the law between countries where the jungle preys on the jungle.

In this alliance, it was agreed that after the destruction of the Yarkand Khanate, all the land, population, livestock, and money of the Yarkand would be divided up.

Zhu Yihai looked at Batur Khan of the Junggar from the corner of his eyes. Zhu Yihai knew about his secret conspiracy with the Yarkand Baishan faction. He knew that Batur had reached a secret agreement with the Baishan faction and would provide gunpowder and weapons to the Baishan faction to support them. Launched a riot and sent troops to support and seize the cities of Yarkand.

After success, the Baishan faction became the actual ruler of the integration of politics and religion in the old territory of Yarkand, surrendered to the Junggar Khanate, accepted the canonization of the Junggar Khan, and paid tribute, tax, and service to the Junggar Khan. It was basically a system of enfeoffment, entrusting the Baishan faction These caliphs are big and small Burke, who control the Huijiang area.

Their plan was very good, Zhu Yihai already knew about it, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he formed an alliance with Dunhuang with great fanfare, reconfirming the plan of all countries to carve up Yarkand.

Batur Khan was obviously a little surprised by the development of the situation, and was even secretly dissatisfied, but on such an occasion, he was unwilling to reveal his conspiracy with the Baishan faction. Could he just give up the fat he wanted?
Batur, who has always been ambitious, is unwilling. He has long regarded this piece of meat as his own taboo, and he plans to do it himself for the current development.

At that time, the Baishan faction rioted, and Junggar sent troops to respond, and took over with the trend. The countries did not send troops. Who would have the face to divide the Yaerqiang they attacked and destroyed?
At worst, he handed over some people, livestock, and money to distribute to everyone.

He didn't realize that his plan had already been known to the emperor, and he was even digging holes for him.

The banquet is over.

Zhu Yihai also specially called the five Khans of Oirat, namely, Lut Khan, Heshuot Khan, Durbert Khan, Turghut Khan and Junggar Khan.

"We will be the main force to destroy Yarkand this time. We will fight after the beginning of spring. Do you have anything else to remind me?"

Heshuo Tegushi Khan now monopolizes the five snow-covered areas, Wei, Tibet, Qing, Kang, and Ngari. In terms of territory, it is extremely wide. However, in the past few years, he has been dealing with those political and religious leaders in Tibet. Very busy, but fortunately, he has established a good relationship with Daming, a powerful neighbor in the east, and has the backing of Moxi Mongolia. He, the protector of the teachings, has done quite smoothly. He supports the extermination of Yarkand. After all, the Qiang belonged to the green camp, and they had launched wars against Tibet many times in the early years. If they had the opportunity to destroy the Yarkand, they would definitely be a threat, and they could also take advantage of the trend to expand to Kunlun and Congling.

"To crush them, the warriors of the Heshuote Khanate will send troops from Ali, march westward along the Kunlun Corridor, take Ruoqiang, Qiemo, Khotan, Hotan, Aksai Chin and other places, and go straight to Yarkand City and Harhalik City." Gush Khan was very straightforward, according to the agreement just now, after the destruction of Yarkand, the Khotan area, that is, from Ruoqiang to Aksai Chin, the Karakorum Pass, and the Sahazhu Mountain To the east and north to the Tarim River, this large area was assigned to the Heshuot Khanate.

Batur Khan remained silent.

Zhu Yihai laughed out loud, wanting to take advantage of the fire, this time it will depend on whether Junggar has the strength.

The huge temptation to monopolize Yarkand will make this ambitious leader forget the danger behind him, and when he takes that step, Zhu Yihai's newly established alliance can play a real role.

That's right.

This big alliance is not used to deal with Yarkand at all, but Zhu Yihai kills two birds with one stone to deal with Junggar, and Yarkand is just a bait for dealing with Junggar.

In Zhu Yihai's mind, it is impossible for him to really divide the Western Regions to Zhubu Jianguo and live in peace with them forever.

But he has to prevent the entire Western Regions from being hostile to him, and even more so to prevent them from uniting against the Ming Dynasty. Then build a group to deal with Yarkand first, and then induce Junggar to betray the covenant and take Yarkand for himself. He called all the Khanates to destroy Junggar together.

To kill two birds with one stone and destroy the two Khanates in one go, it didn't even need Daming to be the main force, to attack in groups. At that time, Daming not only eliminated two powerful enemies, but also took advantage of the situation to enter the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. How perfect.

If Zhu Yihai directly attacked Junggar, it might arouse public anger, but if Junggar robbed the population of the Yarkand territory that had been allocated to the khanates, it would be Junggar who committed public anger.

"Cheers to the Union!"

Zhu Yihai poured Batur Khan a glass of wine and handed it to him.

Batur took it and said unnaturally, "For the alliance!"

Chechen Khan, Gushi Khan and others also toasted, "For the alliance!"
