The rise of the Western Wei Dynasty, in addition to having a huge impact on the Qing and Ming dynasties, also affected the surrounding situation.
When a powerful regime emerges in Guanzhong, its influence will inevitably radiate to the surrounding areas, suppressing and influencing the surrounding areas.
In this case, the weaker side will gradually become a vassal or be annexed, and the stronger side will form a confrontation.
After the rise of the Western Wei Dynasty, the defeat of the Heshute Mongols and the defeat of the Qing army at the same time weakened these two forces, and the areas that originally belonged to the control and influence of these two forces became weak, giving other forces the opportunity to take advantage of the weakness.
Jungar is one of the four tribes of Moxi, nomadic near the Jungar Basin in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, and is the most powerful of the four.
However, although the strength of the Jungar Department is strong, the status of the leader is not high, only a Taiji, not the leader of Western Mongolia, and his status is not as good as that of other Oirats.
After the Western Wei State defeated the Gushi Khan of the Heshute Department, the strength of the Ozirtu Khan, who stayed in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and adhered to the homeland of Heshuote, was further weakened, and the original balance was broken.
It will take more than ten years for the rise of Jungar in history, but the defeat of Gushi Khan caused a chain reaction that caused the original Oirat alliance to collapse.
At this time, the Zungar Khanate was located in the west of the desert, with the weak Yarkand Khanate in the south, three Yuzi separated from the powerful Rakshasa in the west, a vast snowfield in the north, and a scattered desert in the east and southern Mongolia.
For a time, Batur Hui ushered in an excellent opportunity for expansion, and his son Seng Ge suggested that Yaerqiang be destroyed first, but the Western Wei State defeated the Qing army in Guanzhong and killed the Manchu general Aobai, plus Haoge fled outside the Guan, and the news of the internal division of the Qing court was successively transmitted to Moxi, but Batur Hun changed his decision.
Compared with the destruction of Yarkand, Baturhun was more keen to unify Mongolia, become the Great Khan of Mongolia, and reproduce the glory of the Mongol Empire.
Under these circumstances, the Junggar tribe took advantage of the fact that the Manchus were at war with the Western Wei and were unable to control the northern and southern deserts, and began to expand eastward and annex the northern Mongols.
Oirat Mongol, also known as Warat, and Dzungar were one of the four tribes of Warat, and although they were not the headquarters of the Golden Family, they also had the ideal of unifying the Great Mongols and rebuilding the Mongol Empire.
In the early Ming Dynasty, diplomatic methods were actually quite flexible, when the strength of Warat was weak, and the orthodox Tatars of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were strong, and when Chengzu adopted the strategy of supporting Warat to attack Tatars.
After the Tatars were defeated by the Ming Dynasty, Warat took advantage of the situation to rise, and there was a momentum of unification of Mongolia and confrontation with the Ming Dynasty, so Ming Chengzu turned to deal with Warat, and defeated the Warat leader Mahamu in a battle, forcing Warat to submit for decades.
After Mahamu was defeated, he realized the strength of Warat and was definitely not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, and surrendered to Chengzu, but he did not give up the ideal of unifying Mongolia, but poured this obsession into the next generation.
Decades later, Cheng Zu collapsed, and Mahamu's son Tuhuan inherited his legacy, finally defeating the Tatar leader Arutai and finally unifying Mongolia, while Tohuan's son Yexian went one step further and narrowly escaped Beijing.
After that, the long-term war between the tile spurs and the Ming Empire made them gradually decline, and the declining Warat did not forget the glory of the past.
This time, Baturhun saw an opportunity, so he decided to take advantage of the situation to unify Mongolia and make Mongolia great again.
In the pasture near the Tula River in Mobei, there are nearly 1,000 herdsmen from the Tushetu tribe who are nomadic here.
After the Qing army defeated the Mobei Mongols, the Tushetu tribe was controlled by the Qing army and forced to submit to the Qing court, but it didn't take long for the Qing army to be defeated in Guanzhong, so that this submission was very weak and only existed in a nominal state.
On a grassland, more than 100 white tents are densely packed, herdsmen drive cattle and sheep back to the circle, and a few beautiful young women stand outside the tent to make a fire and cook, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful.
In the middle of the camp, a merchant from the Western Wei Kingdom was asking his men to crash the wool and cowhide into the cart, put away the remaining porcelain, tea, salt, and cloth, and prepare to go to the next tribe.
Although Tuxietu nominally belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the weakening of the Qing army and the rise of the Western Wei Dynasty fell into their eyes.
For these small tribes, the merchants of the Western Wei Dynasty brought the tea and salt they needed, and the trade was fair, so there was no need for them to offend the Western Wei.
Of course, at first there were still some blind tribes, they were used to direct robbery, and they were not good at trading, but the Wei army and the horse army soon taught them how to trade with their swords and firearms, and how to greet merchants with enthusiasm.
From the beginning of the Hedong War, the Qing army turned to the defensive, and the business environment of the Western Wei in Mongolia was qualitatively improved.
At this time, in the center of the camp, the men packed their bags, and the Western Wei merchants dressed in Mongolian costumes were saying goodbye to the chiefs of the tribe and making an appointment to come again.
The Mongol tribes were scattered all over the place, and the distance was long, and it was not easy for the merchants of the Western Wei Dynasty to come once, usually after a transaction, the two sides would agree on a time, a place, and then come to trade.
If the Mongol leaders have any special requirements and what goods they need, they can mention them first, and the merchants of the Western Wei Dynasty will bring them all the next time they come.
As for the things that the Western Wei could obtain from Mongolia, they were relatively simple, mainly wool, cowhides, meat and horses.
These things were transported back to Guanzhong, where they were processed by workshops and made into blankets, leather boots, leather belts, leather hats, etc., some of which were sold to the interior of the Western Wei Dynasty, some to Jiangnan, and some to Mongolia in exchange for more wool and cowhides.
At this time, the merchants of the Western Wei Dynasty said goodbye to the Mongolian leader Qingre beating their chests and were about to leave, when iron hooves suddenly rolled outside the camp, and a Mongolian horse army of nearly 1,000 people brandished scimitars, and the bow had been wound, and they rushed to the camp with a roar.
"Kill!" The roar tore apart the tranquility of the sudden loss of temperature in the camp, and the camp instantly screamed, the old and the young rushed out of the tents and fled in all directions, and the Mongol men got on their horses one after another, picked up their weapons and prepared to fight hard, but they were far from being the opponents of the elite cavalry of the Dzungar Division, and they were all cut off their horses.
When the merchants of the Western Wei Kingdom saw this, their faces were shocked, and they suddenly shouted, "It's not good, go quickly!" ”
The people did not care about the goods, so they rushed out of the camp with the reins of their horses and galloped south.
In the distance, the monk stood on horseback and said with emotion: "This is the place where Hulan suddenly lost temperature, and Ming Chengzu once defeated us......"
