Chapter 755: The Three Great Khanates
Embassy of Honglu Temple.
Honglu Monastery Qing Mao Xiang is fighting with the Yarkand Khanate Taiyao Levas.
"Is this how Da Ming treats guests? Outrageous! ”
Yaolevas was very angry, he asked Honglu Temple to help investigate the identity of the woman, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty actually sobered up themselves?
I only heard Mao Xiang laugh and said: "Demon Taiji, you should still save it, this official might as well tell you that the woman you see today is the sister of my Ming Emperor, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Kunxing!" ”
Yaolevas was stunned, Princess Daming?
No wonder there are so many guards around to protect you secretly!
Since she is the princess of Daming, this is even better! It's the same as the purpose of my mission to Daming this time!
The Yarkand Khanate was a state founded by the descendants of Chagatai one hundred and thirty years ago.
Chagatai was the second son of Genghis Khan, the founder of the Chagatai Khanate, one of the four khanates of the Mongol Empire, controlling Xinjiang and Central Asia.
With the changes of history, the Chagatai Khanate fell apart, and the third brother of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Mansur Khan, founded the Yarkand Khanate in the ninth year of Zhengde (1514) on the old land of the original Chagatai Khanate.
The capital of the Yarkand Khanate is in the city of Yarkand (Kashgar region), and the territory of the khanate is vast, with Jiayuguan in the east, Tibet in the south, the Tien Shan Mountains in the north, the Uzbek Bukhara Khanate in the west, and Kashmir in the southwest.
The biggest purpose of Yarkand Khan's mission to the Ming Dynasty was to test whether the Ming Dynasty had any intention of moving westward.
How to test is naturally to test its bottom line!
Isn't Da Ming not getting along? Then I will propose to make peace, and by the way, I will take ten or eight Han women back! It's like the beauty you meet on the street today......
Yaolevas eased his heart, and asked with a smile: "Does this Kunxing princess have a marriage match?" ”
Mao Xiang raised his eyebrows, and secretly said that this guy doesn't want toads to eat swan meat, right?
He glanced at this demon Taiji with disgust, and said, "I have never been married, if it's okay, this official will leave first!" ”
Without waiting for Yaolevas to continue to get to the bottom of the matter, he took the liberty of leaving on the spot.
As the secretary of Honglu Temple and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lord Mao has been very busy recently, and he really doesn't have time to waste his feelings on a demon Taiji of the Yarkand Khanate.
During this period, on the South China Seas, the Spaniards frequently protested against the Ming Navy and sank the Spanish warships that were free to sail in the Bass Strait.
A few days ago, the Governor of Batavia, the Netherlands, also sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to protest against the killing of thousands of Dutch prisoners by the Ming army in the Battle of Dayuan, and threatened that the main force of the Dutch navy would come to the South Seas to maintain stability.
Mao Xiang didn't even pay attention to the red ghost, and told him directly: Love doesn't come, if you want to start a war, you don't have to be so subtle!
After being hung for half a month, the Dutch envoy finally stopped holding the shelf and said that he would rebuild friendly trade and cooperation relations with the Ming Dynasty.
The conditions of Mao Xiang are very simple, if you want to re-trade with the Ming Dynasty, you can, all Dutch merchant ships traveling to and from the Ming Dynasty, the tariff must be increased by three percent!
According to Emperor Tianwu's diplomatic guidelines, you have to be tough!
At the beginning, a Jiupin Department of Honglu Temple, because he was angry when talking to foreign envoys, was dismissed and imprisoned after being learned by Emperor Tianwu, and started in three years.
Mao Xiang also often considers a question, how to make the Ming Dynasty gain the respect of other countries, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are proud of the scenery in the world?
The answer is simple, the country is strong, the people are confident!
Facts have also proved that the current Tianwu Dynasty is a typical example.
Since the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, the national strength has weakened, and the majestic Mongol Empire, which spanned the Eurasian continent at that time, has long been an empty shelf, and the whip of God cannot be drawn.
A sick tiger is not as good as a cat, and many countries no longer come to China to pay tribute, let alone meet Emperor Dayuan, and directly cut off relations, when they don't know each other.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, took over the mess of China and worked hard to develop production for decades, the national strength has gradually become stronger.
When Zhu Di became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he worked hard to govern the country and went to the West six times, and the Ming Empire was even more soaring and famous.
Originally, those children and grandchildren who had severed ties and disappeared for a long time appeared one after another, tribute to tribute, worship to worship.
Later, with the weakening of the Ming Dynasty, these "filial" children and grandchildren disappeared again.
On this day, Zhu Cihong summoned the envoys of all countries to the Fengtian Palace.
"The envoys of the Heshuo Khanate paid a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the great Oirat League Lord Gushi Khan asked his ministers to speak on his behalf and greet you......"
"The envoys of the Dzungar Khanate visited His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Dzungar Khanate was willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and seek the protection ......of the Ming Dynasty."
“......”
Zhu Cihong listened to these polite words with a smile on his face, and paid the most attention to the joint tribute of the leaders of the various departments of the Oirat Mongol Alliance, especially the Jungar Department.
The current Great Khan of the Dzungar Khanate is Batur Huntaiji, and his sixth son is the famous Bosoktu Khan Galdan in Mongolian history, and is the most successful Mongolian tribal leader after Genghis Khan.
At this time, Galdan was only three years old, the same age as Zhu Zhiruo, the eldest daughter of Zhu Cihong.
Zhu Cihong paid attention to the Zungar Khanate, not because of Galdan's milky little hairy child, but because of Baltu Huntaiji and the geographical location of Zungar.
Batur Huntaiji had an excellent relationship with Gushi Khan of the Hoshute Khanate, the two wore a pair of pants, and the two countries were also allies.
Six years ago, the two marched into Qinghai in a group and worked with the leaders of the Oirat Mongol tribes to formulate the Mongol Oirat Code, or religious, political, and military alliance.
If the Ming Dynasty wants to deal with Xinjiang and Tibet and expand its western territory, it must deal with Batur Huntaiji and Gushi Khan.
The two men were not only militarily allied, but also often engaged in political marriages, and Gushi Khan of the Heshute Khanate married his daughter to Batur Huntaiji.
Batur Huntaiji also married his daughter to Gushi Khan's nephew, the future leader of the Oirat Alliance, Ozirtu.
Fortunately, Gushi Khan, the leader of the Oirat League, had just entered Tibet and destroyed the Zangba Khan regime, so he was temporarily unable to compete with the Ming Dynasty, and Batur Huntaiji did not have much ambition.
Moreover, the biggest headache for the two of them is the Russians, especially Batur Huntaiji, who is often harassed by the Russians.
Batur Huntaiji repelled Russian aggression twice in a row, forcing Tsarist Russia to recognize the Dzungar Khanate, and the two countries exchanged trade.
Tsarist Russia had a strong desire for territorial expansion, and the Dzungar Khanate became the biggest obstacle to its southward advance.
In diplomatic dealings with Tsarist Russia, the Russian envoys asked Batur Huntaiji to get up from his seat and accept the Tsar's credentials and gifts, but Batur never liked them.
During the more than ten years that Batur Huntaiji was in charge of the Dzungar Khanate, Tsarist Russia sent envoys or missions to Dzungar a total of 17 times, and one of the missions stayed in Dzungar for a year, but did not leave.
They tried to persuade the Dzungars to submit to the Tsar and bring the Dzungar Khanate into the territory of Tsarist Russia.
However, Batur Huntaiji did not accept this at all, and ordered people not to provide food and horses to the Russian envoys, forcing them to get out.
In Batur's eyes, Tsarist Russia is a hair? It's just a slave under the iron hooves of the Mongol Empire, and he has to accept the canonization of the Kipchak Khanate under the Mongol Empire, and has been enslaved for more than 200 years, what is there to be arrogant?
Just free the rope and want to turn over and become the master? You also have to have the strength to be the master!
