Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 842
Tarbaha Terrace.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, under the running of the eminent monk Zaya Bandida, Khalkha Zhasaktu Khan initiated a convening, four Oirat tribes, three Karka Mobei tribes, and three Hutuktu great lamas, 27 leaders gathered Yu Talbahatai League.

Turhut, who moved far away to the Erji River (Volga River), also participated in the conference. At the conference, various ministries reached a consensus and formed an alliance to end the endless melee and resist the aggressive Jurchen.In order to restrain all parties and establish the orthodox status of the Gelug Sect, the Khalkha-Oirat Law Code was specially formulated. There are 120 codes in total.

In the blink of an eye, 12 years have passed.

Talbahatai became lively again, and countless people came here in this early autumn season.

In the past summer, the Western Regions were very lively and even chaotic, but in this autumn, the chaos has ended.

All forces rushed to gather in Tarbahatai.

The three Khans of Khalkha in Mobei, the three Khans of Monan, the Moxi Oirat Duerbert, the Erut Khan, and the Junggar Khan, as well as the Gushi Khan who is far away in Tibet, and the Gelug sect The regent Suonan Raodan, the eldest son Hong Taiji Dayan who commanded the Dangxiong Eight Banners, and the Da Lai Hong Taiji who commanded the left and right wings of Qinghai Heshuote Bataiji, etc.

Even Kazakh Khan, Turpan Khan, Uzbek Khan, and Nogai Khan also came.

For a time, there was an endless stream of people and horses on the ancient Silk Road, and Tacheng was even more lively.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Duling Duling Mansion was established here. Cheng Yaojin once served as the general manager of the Congling Road March. During the years, there were Caolu Prefecture, Huoba Prefecture, Qinghai Navy City, Yehe Shouzhuo, Heishui Shouzhuo, etc. here.

And this time.

A brand-new earthen city, Tacheng, was established in Taerbahatai.

On Wednesday, the city is [-] feet high, with four gates, and an appeasement bastion, one large and one small, standing on the southern grassland of Talbahatai Mountain, where the terrain is flat and the water source is abundant.

The land is fertile, the water and grass are luxuriant, the trees are in patches, and the mountains are surrounded by screens. On the south slope of the North Mountain, a lot of groundwater flows out of the surface along the east-west direction, forming many springs of different sizes.

It has always been an excellent spring and autumn pasture, and it is also the only passage for the transition between north and south winter and summer pastures.

After defeating Junggar and killing Batur Khan in the summer, the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty entered the Tacheng area, and built Tacheng and Appeasement Fort in the place where the original Junggar Khan's tent was located.

The reason for the disclosure, of course, is that Tacheng will be used as a border market for mutual trade in the future, and the appeasement fort and the garrison will be post stations, which are convenient for contacting and protecting the border market.

In fact, of course, the Ming army took the opportunity to strengthen control.

After the establishment of Tacheng and Suijing Fort, the Ming Dynasty will be able to station troops, immigrate and settle down on this grassland, and drive a nail here to establish a long-term foothold.

This place is beautiful, with mountains on the north, east and south, and Tugule Lake on the southwest. This is a very important passage, suitable for farming and animal husbandry, and has very good defense conditions.

To build castles and fortresses here, of course not to let go of the opportunity.

Although Chu Hu'er was dissatisfied with the Ming army's westward advance, he was busy integrating the various ministries of Junggar and was eager to secure his position as Moergen Khan, so he did not dare to openly turn against Daming at this time.

The Ming army, on the other hand, was a little bit relentless and aggressive. They not only built towers and castles here to build appeasement forts, but also went west for more than [-] miles, and built cities in Yaer (Urzhar) and moved troops to the fields. , built with Yaer City and Zhaofeng Bastion.

To the east of it, Hobokseli Fort also stationed troops and built Zhenyuan City.

The Ming army established three military bases in one go in the core area of ​​the original Junggar, each stationed in a Xie town, and still enclosing land there.

Another team arrived.

It was the new Great Khan of Junggar, Mergen Khan, Chu Hu'er and his son. Chu Hu'er was riding on a horse, looking at the two new castles, one big and one small, from afar.

"Father, these Han people are deceiving people too much!" Chahantaiji said angrily.

Mergen Khan Chuhu'er was not in a hurry to answer, and his eldest son Bagabandi on the other side did not make a sound. Both father and father were silent, with a fire in their hearts, but both of them had experienced the Ming army. It's amazing.Bagabandi led 5000 troops, but was crushed by 3000 soldiers from the Han Navy, the servant of the Ming Dynasty. He was even found in the big tent and captured by others. He was held captive for several months before being released.

Chu Hu'er betrayed her elder brother at a critical moment and led the troops to retreat westward. She thought she could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Even if her elder brother Batur Khan lost to the Ming army, he would still be able to maim Duerbert and even injure the Ming army. Yuan Qi, when the time comes, he will come out to clean up the mess. Who would have expected that Kara Wusu's side will be defeated, and Batur will also be completely wiped out in Hoboksai.

Duerbert and Shuoqihan said that Batur stubbornly refused to surrender and was slaughtered after the city was broken.

But Chu Hu'er also heard some news that Batur Khan was assassinated by Gentel Taiji, and Gentel led people to surrender to the city. As a result, He Shuoqi Khan accepted it on the surface and slaughtered cattle and sheep as a reward. He sent his son to lead troops to attack suddenly and slaughtered thousands of people.

This is the ending that Chu Hu'er never expected.

Junggar raised troops to fight Turpan Khan, and then went north to fight Durbert, and then Wusu was attacked in the rear. After several battles, they lost less than 3 horses.

Chu Hu'er wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but she was caught off guard, and it was too late to regret.

Now the Ming army not only wiped out 3 horses in Junggar, but also took advantage of the situation to build three cities, and even summoned the Khans to hold a meeting in Tacheng.

And he got some news that at this meeting, the emperor would divide Junggar into two, separate the east from the west, and distribute half of the land and population to the son of Batur Khan to inherit, and canonize him as Jinong Deputy Khan and Deputy Capital. protect.

Chu Hu'er was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to act rashly. The fate of her elder brother's defeat was in front of her eyes. No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to come here from Ayagus on the banks of the Aigus River.

They had already passed by Yaer City and Zhaofeng Fort before, but now that they arrived at Tacheng and Suijing Fort, they felt more and more uncomfortable, especially the extremely lively scene here, there were already tents, cattle and sheep everywhere outside the city.

All the ministries came to the alliance, and also came to trade by the way.

The emperor arrived before them.

In the distance, a Ming imperial guard cavalry galloped over.

After inquiring about their identities, they were led to camp, and Chu Hu'er and his son were also taken to the city to meet the emperor.

In the appeasement bastion, the emperor was discussing matters with Zhu Dadian, Yan Wogong and some generals of the imperial army.

This autumn, everywhere is the joy of harvest.

After the Yeerqiang Khanate experienced internal strife, Abdullah Khan was defeated by his son and had to abdicate and then went to Mecca alone. Lord, but now he has converted to the Baishan faction and won the throne with the help of the Baishan faction.

However, it was revealed that the Baishan faction colluded with the Junggars in the east and betrayed Yarkand. As a result, the fight between black and white became more intense, but Yaole Bashan was also very domineering and still supported Baishan, and began to clean the Montenegrin faction forcefully. For the Montenegrin faction, he is also purging the veterans left behind by his father, as well as some local Burke lords.

This led to the unstable position of Yaolebashan who had just succeeded to the throne, and rebellions broke out everywhere.

But for this young new Khan, the position is not correct, and those people will still oppose him if he can't do it. It's better to strike first. If he doesn't take those people down, he can't do it Be steady.

But this person seems to have forgotten that at this time, Daming was pulling many allies to attack Yarkand in an all-round way. When his father and son were attacking each other and cleaning up the interior, Heshuo Tegushi Khan and his sons had already pulled Qinghai-Tibet and Shuote troops and U-Tibet soldiers came all the way, and Kazakhs, Dawan, Bukhara and others naturally took the opportunity to bite and grab the territory.

And Ezier Tuchechen Khan, the leader of Oirat, also led Heshuote in the north of Tianshan Mountain to kill them, captured Baicheng and Kuqa successively, and began to attack Aksu.

Yeerqiang was exhausted and could not last long.

This time Zhu Yihai summoned all the ministries to Tacheng to meet again, one of which was to discuss the issue of carve-up after the destruction of Yarkand. The previous agreement is now somewhat inappropriate. After all, Junggar Batur Khan was killed and Turpan Khan belonged to them. There are a lot of variables, not to mention that the army directly captured the four places of Hami, Wusu, Yanqi, and Korla.

"We plan to establish Anxi Province by combining the original seven guards to the west of Jiayuguan, which is the newly established Anxi Prefecture, plus Hami, Turpan, Balikun, Gucheng, Urumqi, Wusu, Yanqi, and Korla. As a special province, there is a governor, the third department of cloth education, a patrol battalion, and a defense battalion and a town.

Among them, Anxi Prefecture, Hami, Wusu, Yanqi, and Korla were directly set up by the imperial court, and county officials were stationed to rule. Towns, post cities, these military stations and surrounding areas are managed by officials sent by the imperial court, and the rest of the area is still governed by Turpan Khan. "

"To collect tithes from the Turpan Khanate..."

Of the four cities established within the original territory of Junggar, only Wusu was included in Anxi Province, and the remaining three cities, including Tacheng, were still owned by Beiting Province, which became Junggar Jimi Province, and the three cities were designated as special areas.

"As for the Junggar Khanate, after discussion, everyone agreed that Chu Hu'er should live in the west and Sengge should live in the east. Sengge should be better controlled."

Zhu Yihai shook his head.

"Chu Hu'er will never agree to your division like this. Don't force it too much. Let Chu Hu'er stay east of the Aegus River as the Junggar Khan, and Seng Ge as the Deputy Khan to go to Aigu. west of the S River."

To the north of Taerbahatai Mountain, to the west of Zaisang Lake, to the north and west of the Aigus River, and to the south of Irtysh, these places are given to Sengge.

And the Kukewusu River Basin in the northeast of Lake Balkhash, to the east of the Aigusi River, from Tugul Lake to Ala Lake, and to the east to Manas Lake, Shatuoqi, these core areas of Junggar are all handed over to Chu. amber.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty had already taken away the direct jurisdiction of Wusu, and established Tacheng and other three counties directly under the jurisdiction.

The most important thing is to split up Junggar and give Sengge more tribes instead of dividing up land. Without a population, tribes and livestock, everything is for nothing.

"Didn't Junggar originally have twelve Otoks, old and new? Sangge divided into twelve new Otoks, Chuhu'er divided into twelve old Otoks, and the rest of the troops were also divided in half. Junggar was divided into left and right wings. Twelve Dudu Mansions."

"There are two more important things here. One is that I plan to let the Huit Ministry attached to Durbert stand on its own, and build another Huit Khanate. In addition to the land in the north of Gansu, it will be allocated to Huite."

"In addition, the Hetuo Huite tribe, which was originally attached to the Zhasaktu Khan of the three tribes of Khalkha, they nomadic from Wusu Lake to the Sayan Mountains. Oumbu Erdeni, the leader of the Huite tribe, is the son of Shuobashi Ubash, who once conquered and controlled Oirat. His tribe has been very powerful for several generations. The surrounding Kyrgyz people and Tsarist Russians call them Al Tanhan (Golden Khan), and Tuohuite have been very close to the Tsarist Russians these years. I plan to win them over this time. As long as they are willing to follow the court, I will let them also establish a khanate and canonize him as a khan .”

Although this Golden Khan is only the Hui Taiji of Zasaktu Khan, not an independent Khan, he is very powerful.

Since Dayan Khan, the Tatars of the Mongolian headquarters have been using troops to conquer Oala,
Tumed, Ordos, Khalkha and other Tatar ministries continued to attack Oirat and drove them all the way to the west of Altai.

Among them, the youngest son of Dayan Khan, Abadai, the grandson of the founder of the Khalkha San Khan, Gelson Zhazalaier, and the founder of the Tuxietu Khan tribe has been fighting against Oirat, and once conquered Oirat. Bu Gudai was the ruler of Oirat.

After his death, Oirat took the opportunity to rebel, killed Shibu Gudai, and regained his independence, but later Abadai conquered Oirat again from his nephew Zasaktuhan and Huer, and established his cousin Shuo Lei Ubashi as Huitaiji , as the outpost of Khalkha controlling Weilat, and the Tuohuite Department was born.

Ubusu Lake at the southern foot of Tangnu Mountain, which was stationed by the Hetuo Huite Department, was centered on Tangnu Wulianghai, and the Oirat surrendered for a time.

Because of its strength, although it is only Huntaiji of the Zasaktu Khanate and one of its eight tribes, it is called Altan Khan.Although Shuo Lei Ubash was defeated by Oirat's resistance, and he himself was assassinated by Oirat's assassins, which caused the Hetuohuite department to weaken.

After his son Obumu Erdeni Huitaiji succeeded to the throne, the four Oirat tribes jointly counterattacked and defeated Obumu Erdeni again, and the power of the Tuohuite tribe shrunk, and the two foothills of the Altay Mountains disappeared. However, the Kyrgyz people also rebelled one after another, but after all, they were the strong forces of Khalkha, and they finally stabilized the decline.

Facing the aggression of the Jurchens, Khalkha had no choice but to shake hands with Oirat, the old enemy of Moxi, to make peace with them. The alliance signed a code of law and ceased fighting from now on. People, they also made good business deals with Tsarist Russia.

The 20 years of Erdeni's succession to the throne also restored the strength of the Hetuohui Special Department. They expeditioned to the Ob River and wiped out the Kyrgyz people.

Erdeni, who has recovered his strength, also has the heart of self-reliance, and he is not so obedient to Zasaktu Khan. They have revealed their self-reliance more than once when they paid tribute to Daming, hoping to get the support of Daming.

It’s just that before Zhu Yihai pretended not to understand and ignored it, he didn’t want to offend Zasaktuhan with Bai’s support and Tuo Hui’s self-reliance.

But the situation is different now. Daming has entered the Western Regions strongly. He hopes to further divide the Mongolian tribes, not only Moxi Oirat, but also Mobei Khalkha.

It is of course a good thing for Ming to separate another Hetuohuit Khanate from Khalkali.

Huite became self-reliant from Durbert, and Tuohuite from the Zasaktu Khanate. Zhu Dadian and others were a little surprised. The emperor's movements were a little too fast, one move after another, continuously.

"Will Duerbert and Zasaktu agree?"

Of course Zhu Yihai knew that they would not easily agree, "Threats and lures, let Taiji from Huite and Huntaiji from Tuohui take the lead. They will definitely be willing to stand on their own. Let's play the side drums behind. , and threats, there is always some hope, if things come true, it will be of great benefit to Daming, it is worth trying hard!"

"Then try." Zhu Dadian and Yan Wogong are not pedantic people, and they have learned from Junggar Batur Khan. As long as the work is in place, they believe that there is still room for manipulation in this matter.
