When Li Zicheng rushed back with Gao Hongtu's letter and the caravan that had completed the deal in Tomsk, the power struggle within the Heshuo Department also came to an end.

Under the balanced mediation of Fan Yixuan, the first overseer of southern Xinjiang, and Lu Daqi, the senator of the Ganning Governor's Palace, a large amount of materials sent by the Jiaganning Governor's Office bribed the Taiji of the Heshute Department, and finally reconciled Gushi Khan with his nephew Ozirtu Taiji.

On November 4, the tenth year of Chongzhen, in the winter camp in Urumqi, under the witness of the Heshute Taiji, Fan Yixuan, and Lu Daqi, Gushi Khan gave up the position of the leader of the Heshute Khan and the Oirat League to his nephew Ozirtu Taiji, and the Ozirtu Taiji was also promoted to Ozirtu Khan.

Ozirtu Khan, who had just completed the ceremony of serving as the Khan of the Heshute Ministry, immediately invited Fan Yixuan to the podium to curtsy to him, and swore in public the submission of the Heshuo Special Ministry's submission to the Ming Dynasty. After Fan Yixuan received the ceremony, he also announced in front of a group of Heshute Taiji that he would present to the Ming Emperor and canonize Heshute Khan as Chechen Khan, and officially took charge of the Oirat Department from then on. The area governed by Hoshot Khan was between the Tien Shan and Altai Mountains. And the Ming Dynasty will also build a city here for the Heshuo Special Department, which is thought to be the residence of Chechen Khan.

All the Taiji of the Heshuo Special Department are smiling, and a city for the Heshuo Special Department means more than just a comfortable life. Importantly, the Heshute Ministries will receive wealth and supplies from this city to help their own ministry, so that the other Hoshote Ministries can feed a larger population and eventually resist the now aggressive Juros Ministry.

Since the Irtysh River swam from the Irtysh River to the traditional pastures around the Hobok River and the Surry Mountains to the Ili River Valley, the Ili region, which is warm and rich in water and grass, has begun to thrive in the Ili region.

However, the Heshute tribe, which grazes on both sides of the Emin River to Urumqi, has become increasingly difficult to feed the population of the Heshute region due to the shrinking pastures caused by the change in weather. With the Urumqi city built by the Han people, the Han caravan will use Urumqi as the departure city of northern Xinjiang in the future, which naturally brings foreseeable commercial benefits to the Heshuo Special Department, and the Heshuo Special Department does not have to worry too much about the shrinking grassland area caused by weather changes.

As for Gushi Khan, who gave up Heshute Khan and the Oirat alliance leader together, he also did not suffer much. Ozirtu Khan agreed that the uncle would take with him about 40,000 of his men, who would be temporarily dispersed between Kucha and Korla. But Fan had promised him that when the Yarkand Khanate went to war with the Bukhara Khanate, the Ferghana Basin would be the place where he would establish a new khanate.

Because of the assassination of the nobles of the country with Djoshadi, Yarkand Khan made representations to Imam Kuri, the third monarch of the Astrakhan dynasty who ruled the Bukhara Khanate, demanding that he be reconciled with Hafiz, who had conspired with Djoshadi. The Nasser Caliph was handed over to himself for interrogation.

However, the caliph was the religious leader of the Celestial Sect, and it was clear that Imam al-Quri would not endanger his rule by leaving a religious leader at the disposal of Yarkand Khan. When the envoys of Yarkand Khan returned from Bukhara, it was also the time when the two countries went to war.

In order to prepare for this war, the Ming Dynasty had already begun to form the Tenth Field Army with Arslan and Meng Qiaofang's troops as the core, and Gushi Khan also obtained a cavalry division. In addition, the Yarkand Khanate and the Kyrgyz servant army are also being formed. No matter how you look at this war, Gushi Khan can't see the possibility of defeat, which is why he happily handed over the power of the Heshute Ministry.

And with the handover of the power of the Heshute Ministry by Gushi Khan, and the full fall of the Ozirtu Khan to the Ming Dynasty, it also means that the alliance between the once close brothers of the Ozir Tutaiji and Batur Huntaiji has officially broken down. What is embarrassing is that at this time, Batur Huntaiji is hiding in the Ili River Valley for the winter, and he does not know what his good brother has done.

After completing the handover and the ceremony of the Shute Khan, the people returned to the tent of Ozirtutaiji and began the formal celebrations. After being opened up by the Ming army in Hami and Turpan, the Taiji finally did not drink the sour mare's milk wine, but tasted the good wine transported from the Ming Dynasty, which made the people and Shuote Taiji very excited, and within an hour, everyone became drunk.

When all the Taiji were carried down by the guards, Fan Yixuan, Lu Daqi, Gushi Khan, and Ozirtu Khan, who were still sober, ordered people to withdraw the banquet, and then made a pot of hot tea and chatted.

After Fan Yixuan gave Lu Daqi a look, the senator of the governor of Ganning immediately pretended to be drunk and asked Ozirtu Khan: "Today is such a good day, it is time to invite the leaders of other departments of Oirat to watch the ceremony. Especially your good brother Batur Huntaiji, he will definitely be happy for you to take over as Heshute Khan, I wonder if you have sent someone to inform him? ”

Ozirtu Khan suddenly hesitated and said: "Now the weather is cold, it is already snowing along the road, and the place where Batur Huntaji lives is far from Bukshali, I am worried about the safety of the messenger and have not sent to inform him. ”

After hearing this, Fan Yixuan immediately said worriedly: "Batur Huntaiji has a strong temperament, if you wait until next spring to learn that you have taken over the throne of Heshute Khan and accepted the canonization of my Ming Dynasty, will he openly confront you?" ”

Ozirtu Khan thought of Batur Huntaiji's temperament, and suddenly felt a little timid, but he said to himself: "I have been friends with Batur Huntaiji for many years, and I have always been close to each other, so I think he shouldn't blame me for not informing him." Even if I make it difficult for him in public, I won't blame him. ”

Lu Daqi shook his head and said: "What Oziertu Khan said is not right, you are not an ordinary Taiji now, but the Khan of Heshute, and the Khan of Oirats recognized by our Ming Dynasty, how can you easily offend your majesty, or in full view of everyone?"

Although Batur Huntaiji is the leader of the Dzungar tribe and one of the alliance leaders of Oirat, he is not the Khan of Oirat, which is recognized by our Ming Dynasty. According to the law, all the Oirat ministries should now be under you.

If Batur Huntaiji is able to question you in public, can the more powerful leaders of the other tribes, such as Saiyin Jiya of the Huite tribe and Shukul Daiqing of Ezil, disobey your decrees? If everyone were to follow the example of Batur Huntaiji, wouldn't you, the Khan of Oirat, become an empty name? ”

Ozirtu Khan was really suspicious of Lu Daqi's words, and his eyes flickered for a long time before he spoke: "No, I have always been close to Batur Huntaiji as brothers, how can he treat me like this." ”

Lu Daqi suddenly laughed and said, "King Khan, you are really an honest man..."

Lu Daqi wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Fan Yixuan, in his opinion, the point is enough, as long as the seeds of doubt are planted in the heart, Oziertu Khan will naturally look for verification, they are now more than good to talk about, so he shifted the topic to another place.

"King Khan, you have taken over the position of the leader of the Heshut Khan and the Oirat Alliance, and you have been canonized by my Ming Dynasty. As a representative of the Ming Dynasty, I would like to ask you, what do you plan to do next, to show the people of Oirat that you are the well-deserved Khan of Oirat? ”

Ozirtu Khan rubbed his temples and adjusted his mood for a while, and then said to Fan Yixuan: "Now outside the territory of Oirat, there is a century-old enemy like the Kazakhs; There are also Russians who have just appeared, but they are eyeing our territory.

And not only did we fight to the death with the Khalkha Mongol brothers in the east, but we also clashed with the Oirat tribes over pastures and livestock, and now the steppe is very unstable. In order to escape the war between us, the Turks chose to move west to the edge of the steppe, far from their homeland.

Therefore, the first thing I have to do next is to gather the leaders of the Oirat tribes to join the alliance, work out a solution to the tribal dispute, and stop the friction with the Khalkha Mongol brothers, so that the steppe can return to peace..."

After hearing this, Fan Yixuan said thoughtfully: "So King Khan, you want to establish a code of laws for Oirat?" However, the Code alone cannot be enforced without law enforcement agencies. Haven't you thought about building the Oirat Union into a real khanate? ”

Gu Shihan, who was drinking milk tea quietly, suddenly shuddered after hearing this, and the hot milk tea immediately splashed on the back of his hand, but he seemed to unconsciously put the teacup in his hand carefully on the table, and then wiped the water droplets on the back of his hand with his sleeve casually.

The rest of the audience didn't pay attention to his actions, and Ozirtu Khan was also taken aback, and after a long while, he stammered, "No, it's impossible. The leaders of the Oirat tribes were not even willing to participate in the current alliance, and how could they agree to accept a high Khan king. What's more, my talents are neither Batur Huntaiji, nor Saiyinjiya... The power of Heshute is far inferior to the combined strength of the tribes, so how can I establish a khanate? ”

Fan Yixuan said confidently: "King Khan himself just said that the grassland is so unstable now, and the people of all tribes want to have a solution to the tribal dispute. The best way to do this is to give them a unified khanate, to remove the power of the tribal chiefs, and to send officials to rule over the herdsmen.

Yes, it is true that the Heshute Department did not overwhelm the combined power of the various ministries. But it seems to me that the leaders of the other tribes have no desire to stabilize the steppes except for the Guls tribe, so the only one who can hinder you from unifying the tribes is Batur Huntaiji.

I do think that as long as you unite all your tribes to attack the Kazakhs, hand over the Kazakh steppes to the Kyuros, and then banish the Kyuros from the Oirat Union, there will be no force within the alliance that will prevent you from establishing a peaceful and peaceful khanate. ”

The tent suddenly fell silent, and all everyone could hear was the rapid breathing of Ozirtu Khan. I don't know how long it took, but the new Khan of the Heshuo Special Department finally asked Fan Yixuan hoarsely, "So, what can I do to get this result like you said." ”

Fan Yixuan carefully poured a cup of tea for his teacup, and then calmly replied: "Don't worry, we have time today, we can talk slowly..."
