Chapter Ninety-One: Kundulun Khan
Even after all this was arranged, Emperor Chongzhen's heart still had no bottom. If the northwest and southwest are in chaos www.biquge.info add a pass, the mess of the Ming Dynasty will be even more difficult to clean up.
So when he received Chen Renxi's secret report and learned what happened in the Karaqin Department, he was overjoyed, and couldn't help but laugh happily in the study of the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, in front of a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and stood up from behind the bookcase rarely, and said yes again and again while walking, and applauded loudly, there were words in his mouth, vaguely saying what Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao and other names were.
The eunuchs and palace maids standing on the side were also happy to the extent of dancing when they saw the emperor like this for the first time. Of course, Wang Chengen is happy from the bottom of his heart, because of the rebellion in the southwest in the past few days, the emperor doesn't want to eat, and he is always worried, it is rare for a minister to make the emperor so happy.
Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the emperor say: "Wang Chengen, quickly send Zhang Weixian and Wu Weiying to see me." ”
Now this Emperor Chongzhen, although he is not very familiar with what happened in the southwest at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he is too familiar with what happened in the northeast.
There are many historical records about this Karaqin Taijibul Hatu, and there is only one sentence in it, which he has never forgotten since he saw it in his later life.
Historically, in September of the second year of Chongzhen, the leader of the Ao Han tribe, Gonchuk, persuaded the Karaqin to surrender, and after the alliance with the Karaqin tribes, the Taiji Burhatu of the Karaqin Department came to Shengjing, the capital of the Houjin Dynasty, and met the Houjin Khan Huang Taiji, and said the road to attack the Ming Dynasty, the record of the Qing Taizong record is like this: "Karaqin Taiji Bul Kadu, once appreciated in the Ming, to be familiar with the path, now as a guide......"
Now, the traitorous and leading party that led the first detour to Mongolia to attack the Ming Dynasty should not fall back to Houjin.
Of course, if this Emperor Chongzhen had known a little more about the Southwest Region or the Extravagant Rebellion before, he would have known how powerful Zhu Xieyuan was.
Because, in history, the Lu'an Rebellion was finally led by Zhu Xieyuan to pacify. Zhu Xieyuan not only killed the two super Tusi leaders of Hao Chongming and An Bangyan, but also eliminated a number of Tusi leaders in Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan. Many Tusi families in the southwest that have been inherited for thousands of years have been uprooted by Zhu Xieyuan, and since then they have completely consolidated the territory of the southwestern provinces in later generations.
This situation created by Zhu Xieyuan was maintained until the Yongzheng period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If Yongzheng has done any good things, then it should be regarded as a matter of reforming the land and returning to the river in the southwest Tusi jurisdiction. The reason why Yongzheng was able to successfully implement the reform of the land and return to the river was that Zhu Xieyuan laid a good foundation for future generations after quelling the Extravagant Rebellion.
Zhu Xieyuan, a Jinshi in the twentieth year of Wanli, although he is a scholar and a civil official, he is not merciful at all when he kills people, and he is even more ruthless than many generals.
Therefore, this also shows a problem, that is, the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, many people in later generations criticized the imperial examination system of the Eight Shares, thinking that this Eight Shares of Literature and Disasters to the Country and the People, in fact, the role of the Eight Shares of the Scholars is much better than many people think.
Let's put it this way, those who can't write Bagu Wen are not necessarily stupid, and among those who can't get into the Jinshi, of course, there are still a lot of talents, but those who can write Bagu Wen well will not be stupid, and they don't master the Four Books and Five Classics to a certain extent, or your thinking ability and thinking level do not reach a certain height, and you can't write Bagu Wen well.
The history of the Eight Strands of Scholars has lasted for seven or eight hundred years, and it is definitely not what people imagine now, and it was made to restrain the minds of scholars or enslave them or something. And Zhu Xieyuan is just such a Jinshi civil official who writes well in Bagu and has super ability to govern the world.
At this point, Zhu Xieyuan is a bit like Wang Yangming in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, as Wang Yangming's fellow countryman, although he may not be as good as Wang Yangming in terms of literature, but in terms of martial arts, he is better than Wang Yangming, but his reputation in later generations is not as great as Wang Yangming.
In short, after receiving Chen Renxi's secret fold, Emperor Chongzhen, who was overjoyed, soon sent the British Minister of Military Aircraft on duty, Zhang Weixian, and the military aircraft senator of the Imperial Court to Gong Shun Hou Wu Weiying, and after some explanations, ordered the two to immediately discuss with the cabinet the methods of rewarding the Karaqin Ministries, as well as Chen Renxi and other meritorious people.
On the morning of the next day, the first assistant Li Guoyi, the cabinet minister Xu Guangqi, as well as Zhang Weixian, Wu Weiying and others, gathered in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, reported the reward method, and finally agreed to seal the Karaqin Taijibulhatu as the king of Guiyi, and the grassland area south of the West Lamulun River, north of the Qilaotu Mountain, and west of the Nuruer Tiger Mountain as the territory of the king of Guiyi. and let him enter the Beijing Teacher Lecture Hall to study; Bilegh and Delig are the commanders and commanders of the Ulan Hada Division.
At the same time, Chen Renxiguan was promoted to three levels, from the seventh rank to the fifth grade, as the imperial history of the Liaodong Town Supervisor, and concurrently served as the left senator of the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, and the Wujin scholar Wang Zhenyuan was the governor of the Guiyi Wangfu, and concurrently served as the commander of the Ulan Hada Command Envoy Commander Tongzhi, allowing him to trade with the Karaqin tribes, and could raise his own food and raise cavalry to protect the trade routes, and assist the Guiyi King Burhatu to conquer the disobedience. Wu Jinshi Chen Guowei, the deputy general of the Liaodong Town Supervision Army Standard Battalion, assisted Chen Renxi in recruiting Liaodong Han people in Ningyuan and organizing and training the Supervision Army Standard Battalion.
As for Cao Wenzhao's department, he was ordered to go south to Huizhou to defend his hometown, stationed in the north of the Daluan River, at the confluence of the Wulie River and the Daluan River, and was given the number of "Wulie Battalion" and given 3,000 personnel. Cao Wenyao succeeded Cao Wenzhao to defend Guangning and was promoted to general by leap by rank, while Cao Bianjiao and Ying Shisheng were promoted to guerrillas in the front and rear battalions of the Wulie Battalion respectively.
At the same time, the Karaqin Department was rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stones of grain as a reward, and 40,000 taels of silver and 40,000 stones of grain were given to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion and Ulan Hada to command the envoys to give relief to the surrounding departments of Ulan Hada. In fact, it was Chen Renxi and Burhatu who encircled the small tribes of Eastern Mongolia south of the Xilamulun River.
The Ulan Hada mentioned here is the Chinese transliteration of the Mongolian "red peak", which is the Chifeng region in later generations. However, when Emperor Chongzhen rewarded the entire area around Ulan Hada to the Karaqin tribes as a territory, this area did not belong entirely to Karaqin, especially in the north along the banks of the Xilamulun River, where the Ongniut, Zalut, Aohan, and Naiman tribes were distributed.
Therefore, when a few days later, after the Holy Decree of the Ming Emperor arrived in the Karaqin Department, Burhatu did not say anything, and accepted all the decrees very happily, including the will of his eldest son Chen Gebatu to be enrolled in the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall, which was like sending a child as a hostage.
Because Burhatu is very clear that the Karaqin Department united with Chen Renxi and others to kill Taiji Gonchuk of the Ao Han Department, the Ao Han Department will definitely not give up, especially killing Wu Keshan, the eldest son of Horqin Taiji Zhaisang, which is equivalent to cutting off the road of Jin after the surrender of Karaqin, and now he can only follow the Ming Dynasty, and one road goes to the dark.
Besides, the Ming Dynasty is indeed not thin on himself, the Karaqin tribe is not the largest or strongest tribe among the Eastern Mongolian tribes, but it has received the title of "King of Guiyi" that Lin Dan Khan did not get, and only the powerful Alatan Khan has received the title of "King of Shunyi" before that.
Although the Mongols did not have much of a strong concept of honoring their ancestors, Burhatu was still quite happy to become the highest tribal leader among the Eastern Mongolian tribes.
Soon after receiving the holy decree, Chen Gelbatu, Bileg, Delige, Qinggeltai and others, although the population of the left and right wing tribes under their command was very small, some less than 2,000 people, but they were also all named the Taiji of each tribe by Burhatu, and Burhatu, who became the king of Guiyi, naturally under the persuasion of these small Taiji, with the support of Chen Renxi, Wang Zhenyuan and others, moved to Ulahada with the big tent of the Chinese army of the Karaqin Department, and established the royal tent in Ulanhada, claiming to be Kundulun Khan.
Although Burhatu's own family knew about their own affairs and did not dare to invite other Eastern Mongolian tribes around Ulan Hada to participate in a big way, this situation could not be concealed for a long time, because the Bahrain tribe, Ao Han tribe, and Naiman tribe that had taken refuge in Houjin were not very far from Ulan Hada, about 200 miles northeast of Ulan Hada. It can be said that from now on, it will be more difficult for the Karaqin Department and the Houjin to come together.
