Chapter 775: The Mongolian Question

In order to deal with the future of Russia, Zhu Hongsan must establish the capital in Beijing in the north. And it is impossible to rely on the Han people themselves to fight Russia alone in the unfamiliar Mongolian steppe, and naturally they also need the help of the Mongols, so the Mongolian issue is the most important issue in Zhu Hongsan's mind these days.

Zhu Hongsan only knew that Mongolia was divided into Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia in later generations, Inner Mongolia was close to the Han people, Outer Mongolia was close to Russia, and the rest was unknown. Now listening to Xiaozhuang, that is, Mubu Mutai, mention the matter of Mongolia, naturally Zhu Hongsan is very surprised.

Zhu Hongsan was stunned for a moment and asked, "You said you can help me conquer Mongolia?" Tell me about it! ”

Bumu Butai heard that this Ming Dynasty emperor was interested, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he still has use value, his life is basically worry-free!

"Your Majesty, do you know that the concubine was born in Horqin Mongolia!"

"I know, and I know that there are many of your Horqin tribes, and your father is just a tribal leader!" Zhu Hongsan said very clearly, don't think that you Mubu Mutai can fool the uncle, you are only one of the Horqin tribes, although you are the most powerful one, but you do not represent all of Mongolia.

Bumu Butai heard the emperor say this, nodded, and roughly said the entire sphere of influence of northern Mongolia now, Zhu Hongsan frowned after hearing this, he didn't expect the Mongolian issue to be so difficult.

In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, under the blows of Zhu Yuanzhang and other Han generals, the Mongols escaped from the border and returned to a nomadic life. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the northern Mongols were divided into three major parts with the Gobi Desert as the center. In the south of the desert, the tribes are called Monan, and those that belong to this part are: Korqin, Zarat, Durbot, Bahrain, Zalut, Naiman, Khalkha, Maomingan, Ulate, Karaqin, Uzhumuqin, Chahar, Tumut, Ordos and other departments. Their distribution area is bordered by Liaodong and Heilongjiang in the east, Yili East Road in the west, the Great Wall in the south, and the desert in the north, stretching for more than 10,000 miles.

To the north of the desert, it is called Khalkha Mongolia, also called Momo North Mongolia, which belongs to Chechen Khan, Tushetu Khan, Sanyin Nuoyan, Zasaktu Khan and other departments, and the distribution area is east to Heilongjiang Hulun * Bell City, south to Hanhai, west to Altai Mountain, and north is connected with Siberia.

The western part of the desert is called Moxi Mongolia, that is, Oirat Mongolia, and the Dzungar department, Heshute department, Turghut department, Dulbert department, and Huite department belong to this part. Its distribution area extends from the Altai Mountains in the east to the Ili River basin in the west. Most of the above-mentioned Mongolian tribes live on water and grass, and are engaged in nomadic animal husbandry and economy, and are politically in a state of non-subordination to each other.

In order to plunder livestock, land and property, and to compete for dominance, there were often contradictions between the feudal lords of various tribes, killing and conquering each other. After the rise of the Later Jin, the Korqin tribe of Southern Mongolia quickly took advantage of the terrain to ally with the Later Jin to deal with Lin Dan Khan of their own tribe. And Lin Dan Khan, a descendant of Genghis Khan, is based on the noble bloodline of the Golden Family, so he naturally looks down on a group of hunters from Baishan and Heishui.

At this time, Nurhachi sued the heavens with seven hatreds and launched a war of aggression against the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Sarhu the following year, and Liaodong was in danger. At this time, the Ming Dynasty thought of Lin Dan Khan, as early as September of the 46th year of Wanli, Hu Ke to Ying Zhen, Shanxi Provincial Imperial Shi Feng Jiahui, and Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, suggested that Yi attack Yi and use Lin Dan Khan to deal with Nurhachi, in order to reap the benefits of fishermen.

However, the Ming Dynasty was the first to use the subordinates of Lin Dan Khan close to Houjin, the Inner Khalkha Department, in July of the 47th year of Wanli, Nurhachi who was in the aftermath of the battle of Salhu led the army to besiege Tieling, and the most powerful Zaisai in Inner Khalkha led 10,000 people to aid Ming, but when he arrived in the city, Tieling had been lost, and then he fought with the Houjin soldiers, and was defeated, Zaisai and his two sons and Bake, Seben, Sangar, etc. were captured. In August, another Ming dynasty, the Yehe tribe, was overthrown, and the Ming court officially shifted its attention to Lin Dan Khan.

In the autumn of this year, the Ming Dynasty sent the superintendent Wang You with 4,000 taels of silver to Chahanhot, Wang You saw Lin Dan Khan and played with the cold of the lips and teeth, luring Lin Dan Khan to take the bait, was moved by the Ming army and was afraid that the strength of the Houjin would threaten him, Lin Dan Khan began to send troops to assist the Ming army to defend Guangning City.

In fact, the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty was very right, using the stupid Mongols to deal with the turtle Manchurians, anyway, the two sides were not Han Chinese, and naturally the more lively the fight, the better. But the Ming Dynasty's abacus played very well, but I didn't expect that Houjin's gang of turtles was a group of turtles with great combat effectiveness. After killing his archrival Ye Hebu, Hou Jin turned his gun on Lin Dan Khan.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, after the defeat of the Battle of Ningyuan, the Later Jin resented the Nekhalkha Ministry for secretly helping the Ming Dynasty, and it was the second crusade against the Nekhalkha, and the Nekhalkha was defeated. After the death of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji inherited the throne of Houjin Khan, in October of that year, Huang Taiji repeatedly robbed and killed the envoys sent by Houjin to Korqin for the third crusade against the Inner Khalkha Department, Lin Dan Khan once again took advantage of the fire to rob and attack the remnants of the Inner Khalkha, and the five Inner Khalkha departments collapsed under the blow of the Later Jin, leaving only the Bahrain Department and the Zalut Department.

At this time, although Lin Dan Khan claimed to be a descendant of the Golden Family and Genghis Khan, Moxi and Mobei did not surrender to Lin Dan Khan at that time, and the southern tribes also saw that Lin Dan Khan was going to be unlucky. Huang Taiji saw this opportunity and decided to launch a decisive battle against Lin Dan Khan. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Lin Dan Khan fled to Qinghai with the last tens of thousands of people, and Lin Dan Khan also died of smallpox in Qinghai Dacaotan, ending his life of dominance.

Although Lin Dan Khan was not particular about his personality and even invaded his own ally and younger brother, he still maintained a military alliance with the Ming Dynasty in general. However, with the destruction of Lin Dan Khan and the Chahar tribe, the Houjin no longer had the power to contain outside the pass, and at the same time integrated most of the Mongol tribe in southern Monan. The relatively weak Mobei Mongolia saw that Houjin was powerful, and the three major khans of Mobei Mongolia, Tushetu Khan, Zasaktu Khan, and Chechen Khan, also took refuge in Houjin.

Zhu Hongsan listened to Bu Mu Butai's talk about the history of Mongolia, and thought in his heart: In this way, Mo Southern Mongolia is the Inner Mongolia of later generations, and Mo Northern Mongolia is the Outer Mongolia of later generations, so what is Mo Western Mongolia? Why haven't you heard of it in later generations?

"Wait, where did Moxi Mongolia go? Tell me about them! Bumu Butai had no choice but to talk about the history of Moxi Mongolia.

If Monan and Northern Mongolia are still the descendants of Genghis Khan, then Moxi Mongolia is an outsider at all. The ancient Mongols were divided into two parts: "steppe people" and "forest people", and later for eastern Mongolia and western Mongolia, eastern Mongolia was the later branch of the golden family, and western Mongolia also had a famous name in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Wara, right! It was the one who captured the Ming Emperor in Tumu Fort.

The Warat tribes were eventually divided into the four major divisions of Dzungar, Dulbert, Heshut, and Turgot, and the Hut tribe attached to Dulbert. Its pastureland is mainly in the northwest of the Tianshan Mountains, and at the same time it continues to move to the middle reaches of the Irtysh River, the Ob River and the Kazakh steppe, the southwest to the Ili River Basin, and the southeast to Qinghai. At the beginning, the Dzungar tribe was nomadic in the middle and upper reaches of the Irtysh River to the area of the Khobok River and the Sari Mountains, and later centered on the Ili River Basin. The Dulbert tribe was nomadic along the Irtysh River. The Turghut tribe was originally nomadic in Tarbagatai and its north, and after migrating westward, the Huite tribe lived there. The Heshute tribe is nomadic from both sides of the Emin River to the Urumqi area.

Zhu Hongsan listened to Bumu Butai say this, and it stands to reason that Moxi Mongolia should be very famous in later generations, why there is no shadow at all in later generations, Zhu Hongsan only knows that there is a place name, that is, the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang. What Zhu Hongsan didn't know was that after the Manchu Qing occupied the Central Plains, the Junggar tribe that occupied part of Xinjiang, Ningxia, Qinghai, and Tibet also produced a hero, that is, Galdan, who gave the three Manchu emperors a headache.

Galdan established a powerful Dzungar Khanate, which not only defeated Russia twice, but also intended to build a powerful and unified empire with Lamaism as the state religion. For this reason, the sons of the Dzungar Khanate, who carried their faith, sent troops to southern Xinjiang to destroy the Yarkand Khanate, and at the same time sent troops to the Kazakhs, which logically conquered the Kazakh Khanate. Then, they crossed the Hangai Mountain, which is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, drove the Khalkha Mongol tribes to the south, and sent troops to attack the Khalkha Mongol tribes living in Mobei. However, Monan and Mobei had already been the sphere of influence of the Qing court earlier, and the Dzungar troops were undoubtedly prey.

In order to maintain the authority of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Kangxi drove the expedition and defeated the Kaldan army in Ulan Butong, but to the surprise of the Khalkha chiefs, this rescue did not want to be a wolf into the house. The Qing army seized the opportunity to occupy Khalkha, so the struggle for interests between Khalkha and Kaldan naturally became a struggle for interests between the Qing court and Kaldan.

The war with the Dzungar Khanate continued until Yongzheng came to power, when Taiji of the Dzungar Khanate was the nephew of Galdan and the Dzungar Khanate began to enter its true heyday. With 300,000 soldiers, they occupied Lhasa and conquered Xinjiang, Qinghai, western Mongolia and the vast areas of southern Siberia. Although the Dzungars also annihilated the Qing army in Qinghai, they could not stand up to the succession of the Qing army. The Qing army took advantage of its civil strife to send troops to Ili, and two years later finally completely destroyed the Dzungar Khanate and controlled the entire territory of Xinjiang.

At this time, the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had been replaced by Qianlong, and in order to prevent the revival of the Dzungars, Qianlong ordered that the entire Dzungar Department should be exterminated except for the women who rewarded the officers and soldiers. Hundreds of thousands of Dzungars died under the butcher's knife of the Qing army, the blood stained the Oirat steppe red, the Dzungar people were exterminated, and within thousands of miles, there was no one in the area, and Dzungar was killed into a geographical term.
