The Mongol princes all geared up and stared at the Jurchens in Liaodong, seeing them as a piece of fat on their lips.

However, at this time, Liu Jun's gaze had shifted from this area, and he looked to the west. In the northeast, the general trend has been decided, the Mongol princes in the south and the desert in the north have either surrendered or perished, and the Jurchens have to flee north in embarrassment. Next, there are Mongol princes to the east to conquer the Jurchens, and the court only needs to watch the battle in the back, and when the Mongols and Jurchens are almost killed, the court will make a final decision.

The Mongol tribes to the east have been subjugated, but there are still Mongols to the west.

Western Mongolia, also known as Moxi Mongolia, or Erut Mongolia, was called Hu Yira in the Yuan Dynasty and Wara in the Ming Dynasty. The Mongols were mainly composed of two parts: the steppe people and the forest people, and later became the eastern Mongolian and the western Mongolian. Eastern Mongolia was the main part, but later it was divided into Mobei and Monan, while Western Mongolia was dominated by Oirat.

Earlier, the Warat people were the people of the forest, who originally lived in the area of the eight rivers in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, and were numerous and had several branches, each with its own name.

After Genghis Khan established the state, he had a hereditary marriage relationship with Genghis Khan's golden family, and has always enjoyed a special status in Mongolia that looks down on the kings.

In short, the relationship between the Warat and the Mongols was the same as that between the Korqin and the Manchus. The Warat people and the Erjin family are hereditary marriages, and the same is true of Horqin and Aixin Jueluo.

Later, when the imperial family of the Yuan Dynasty weakened, Warat took the opportunity to expand his strength and actively participated in the disputes between various Mongolian factions. In addition to the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, they also included the upper reaches of the Irtysh River and the Zabkhan River valley southeast of Kobdo.

Warat fought against the eastern Mongol nobles who controlled the throne of the Khan, and even dominated Mobei.

In the era of Tokhtobu and Yexian, in the battle of Tumubao, they annihilated the main force of the Ming army and captured Ming Yingzong alive. Soldiers approached the city of Beijing.

However, under the leadership of Dayan Khan, the eastern Mongols prospered, and Warat moved to the northwest region, and its influence expanded to the Ili River valley for a time.

"Your Majesty, now all the ministries of Warat are merged into the four major ministries of Dzungar, Dulbert, Heshute, and Turgot, and the four major ministries are mainly attached to the Huite department of Dulbert."

In the Imperial Tent, the staff officers of the Privy Council reported to the Emperor.

After Dayan Khan unified the headquarters of Eastern Mongolia, he brought Oirat under his rule. However, the rebellions of the Oirats were infrequent, and the grandson of Dayan Khan, Altan Khan of Tumut, was strong during his reign. drove the suzerain's headquarters Chahar to Liaodong. Later, he also tried to bring the Oirat tribes in the northwest under his rule, and repeatedly conquered, but Oirath sometimes surrendered and sometimes rebelled.

Under the pressure of Altan Khan, the Oirats took advantage of this situation and brewed an alliance among the tribes. Among them, the Heshute Department moved in later, and they were originally moved from ******** by the Horqin Department, and later named Heshute and became a member of Oirat.

Therefore. Hoshut is the only one of the Oirat tribes with the blood of the Golden Family, and the Ministries of Huite, Oros, Dulbert, Turgot, Batut and Balhu jointly elected the Minister of Hoshot, Bobemir, as the Khan of the Oirat Alliance. The Third Oirath Alliance, which was rebuilt under the auspices of Bobemir Khan, lasted for 20 years.

However, in the following decades, the Mobei tribes frequently attacked the Oirat Alliance, and the Oirat tribes were mired in internal strife. The strength is very weak.

Just when the Han Dynasty and the Mongol tribes of the southern and northern deserts of the desert were allied in Chifeng, the Moxi tribes were not willing to be lonely, and they also held the Oirat alliance not long ago.

In September, the tribes met together. Twenty-seven chieftains attended, including Heorluk and Shukul Daiqing from the distant Ezil River, and Heshute Tulubai Gushi Khan from Qinghai. Dzungaria, Ozirtu, Chechen Taiji and Batur Hongtaiji, etc.

According to the intelligence detected by the Jinyi guard, this alliance was obviously caused by the drastic changes in the situation in eastern Mongolia. Oirat's re-alliance changed the chaos caused by the previous infighting and united again.

Their alliance arose as a result of the rise of the Han Dynasty, and in this alliance, the ministries worked together to formulate the Oirat Code.

In the form of the Oirat Code, the ministries have determined the unity of the Oirat Union, and in the form of the Code, the Oirat Ministries are a whole that is united with each other, responsible for each other, acting in unison, and unifying in will.

Article 1 of the Code clearly stipulates that when the great enemy is coming, the Oirat tribes will inform each other, and all the departments will unanimously oppose the enemy. Those who have been rewarded but have not yet lined up shall be punished with 100 pairs of armor, 100 camels, and 1,000 horses; Ten pairs of small Nuoyan armor, ten camels, and 100 horses.

It clearly stipulates that in wartime, it is the unshirkable responsibility of all units to echo each other, support each other, and coordinate operations.

Articles 2 and 3 of the Code stipulate that the various departments of Oirat shall not invade and plunder each other, and at the same time, the problems of prisoners of war, emigrants and fugitives between Oirats will also be resolved by law, with the aim of eliminating disputes and strengthening unity.

Article 8 of the Code also has strict regulations on sending troops into battle, and when the enemy is coming, if he "hears the enemy and does not report it," "escapes in fright," or "does not save him when he sees death," no matter who he is, he will be investigated for legal responsibility and punished heavily, and those who have made meritorious service will be rewarded heavily.

There are more than 100 specific provisions in the entire code.

The code also stipulates that the Yellow Religion is a common religion of the Oirat tribes and should be protected, and that all Buddhists are exempt from all forced labor and taxes.

The Code also stipulates that Khan, Khun Taiji, Jinong, Morgen, Daiqing, Chuhur, and Tabu Nang are inviolable, and their rights should be protected by law. It is forbidden to violate them with words and actions, and the offender will be punished.

The Code also defined the territorial boundaries of the four major tribes, with the northernmost being Dulbert, pastoring on the right bank of the middle Irtysh River to the upper reaches of the Ishim; With Tarbagatai and Ili as the center, the Heshute Department grazes in a vast area from the upper reaches of the Irtysh River to Lake Balkhash, to Urumqi and Tianshan in the south, and to the Fuhe River basin in the west. The Khulas Division is located in the east of the Heshute Division, centered on Hebukshary, north to the left bank of the upper reaches of the Irtysh River, east to Altai, and south to the Junggar Basin; The Huites are herded in the Yuledus River Valley.

At this meeting, Gushi Khan, the leader of the Heshute tribe, proposed that a military operation be taken against the Han Chinese to teach them a lesson about their expansion to the northwest.

In accordance with the spirit of the new legal code, the Ozirtu Chechnya and its Abalai, Batur Hongtaiji and his brother Chuhur Ubashi, and the minister of Huite Suldan led their troops to join the coalition army. Kurdaichen sent an expeditionary force from Ezil on purpose.

The target of the coalition forces was Qinghai.

Dayan Khan's grandson, Tumut Altan Khan, once sent troops to Qinghai to control the region. After Altan Khan took control of Qinghai. Meeting with Sonam Gyatso, the head of the Qinghai-Tibet Yellow Sect and the then head of Drepung Monastery.

The two met very happily, and Altan Khan immediately took refuge in Sonam Gyatso, and the thirty-five-year-old Drepung Living Buddha Sonam Gyatso declared his new disciple at the age of seventy-one to be "Wekraval Dicherchen Khan"

"We Kravaldi" is the Sanskrit word "wheel king", and "Chechen" is the Mongolian word for "wisdom, wisdom" - this is the beginning of the conversion of Mongolian nobles to the Yellow Religion, since then, a large number of Mongolians began to enter Tibet to study the scriptures, and the Yellow Religion has gradually immersed in the later history of the Mongols.

Coming and not being rude, Altan Khan then gave Master the honorific title of "Divine Consciousness of All Wazirda Lama", which is the original origin of the title of the Living Buddha System of the Great Lai Lama.

The meeting was historic. It has a very long-lasting impact.

If we talk about white spots, it is actually the heads of two different leaders who have made a mutual certification.

I admit that you are a secular leader, and you admit that I am a religious leader, and we both cheer each other on.

The so-called "Divine Consciousness of All Wazir Dara Lai Lama" is a combination of Sanskrit, Mongolian and Tibetan titles, in which "Wazir Dara" comes from Sanskrit, which means "holding vajra", and is an extremely important bodhisattva in Tantra; "Da Lai" is a Mongolian word meaning "sea"; "Lama" is the Tibetan word for "guru". "Holy knowledge of all Wazir Dalai Lama". Together, they are "the great masters of the vajra".

And this sea is the Tibetan word for Gyatso, which coincides with the name of Sonam Gyatso, and is apparently tailor-made for him by Altan Khan.

Since then, Sonam Gyatso has become the first Lai Lama. But he posthumously recognized the two great lai, and called himself the third great lai, in fact, the great lai started with him.

This alliance is the union of the Yellow Sect in Tibet and the Mongolian aristocracy. Through his alliance with Altan Khan, Sonam Gyatso cemented his position as a religious leader, even though the zodiac was not yet religious orthodox in Tibet. But at least he has become the supreme leader of the Yellow Sect, and even overshadowed the sect leader at that time.

However, only four years after the two men met, the elderly Altan Khan died, and the once powerful Tumut began to weaken. But the Yellow Religion has already begun to take root in Mongolia.

Six years after the death of Altan Khan, the third great lai also passed away.

In order to be able to compete with other religions in Tibet, the Yellow Sect claimed that Altan Khan's great-grandson was the reincarnation of the Third Great Lai.

The Yellow Sect of Tibetan Buddhism has a Mongolian child as the reincarnation of Dalai, which is obviously a cat.

The Mongols, who had already begun to believe in the Yellow Sect, were naturally happy, and they formed a coalition army to escort the spirit children into Tibet by force to deter those who were dissatisfied with the Yellow Sect. After that, Altan Khan's grandson officially sat in Lhasa and became the fourth great lai.

However, at that time, although the Yellow Sect was growing stronger, it was not the Yellow Sect that was the strongest. In addition to religious power, there was also a secular regime, and the Zangpa Khan family ruled Tibet at that time, and the Zangpa Khan believed in the Kamagyu sect of the White Religion, and hated the Yellow Religion, and the contradictions between the two sides continued to intensify.

Later, Zangba Khan poisoned the young fourth and forbade the reincarnation of Dalai, and in the end, it was because the senior monks of the Yellow Sect cured Zangpa Khan's illness that Dalai was allowed to be reincarnated.

The reincarnation of the fourth was a six-year-old boy from Tibetan areas whose legal name was Lobsang Gyatso, which translates to "Shanhai" in Chinese.

Since then, neither the Yellow Sect nor the Tsangpa Khan have been able to eliminate each other, and the Yellow Sect has a stronger and stronger civil base in Tibet, while the Tsangpa Khan controls the upper echelons, and both sides have their own armed forces to support them, so a delicate balance is formed.

However, five years ago, at the secret invitation of the fifth's teacher, Luosang Qujie, Gushi Khan, the leader of the Oirat and Shuote tribes who had been grazing in the Western Regions, suddenly led an army into Qinghai.

The 5th gave Gushi Khan the title of Tenzin Chogyal, which means the king of teachings.

Gushi Khan intended to follow Altan Khan's actions and strengthen his position through the gift of the Yellow Sect Dalai. He led his own men, together with part of the Dzungar army of Batur Huntaiji, into Qinghai and defeated the Chotu Khan Arslan and his sons, who were entrenched here.

After that, he attacked the Ganzi area and eliminated the local Baili Tusi, the war lasted for a year, Gushi Khan occupied all the areas ruled by Baili Tusi, and the tribes of Dege, Ganzi, Dengke, Baiyu, Shiqu, and Markang in northern Sichuan became the ruling area of Heshute Mongolia, Gushi Khan captured and executed Dunyue Dorjee, and released all the lamas such as the Gelug and Sakya sects who were imprisoned by Baili Tusi. As a result, Gushi Khan won the admiration and gratitude of all the lamas of all Tibetan sects except Bon.

However, at this time, the Han army advanced westward.

Zheng Zhilong led his troops to recover Shaanxi and Gansu, and recovered the Hehuang Valley in Qinghai.

The troops of Zhang Shan and Cai Yuan entered Sichuan from Hanzhong, crossed the Daxue Mountain, controlled the eastern part of Tibet along Sichuan, and established Xikang Province.

The speed of the Han army's march was so fast that it greatly exceeded Gushi Khan's expectations, and it became another powerful force entering Qinghai-Tibet.

In particular, Zhang Shan's subordinates seized Ganzi and other places in the southeast of Tibet that Ganzi and other Gushi Khans had defeated, which caught Gushi Khan, who was preparing to lead his army into Qianzang, by surprise.

Gushi Khan rode a tiger to the south for a while, and he could have killed the Tibetan area in one fell swoop, annihilated the Zangba Khan, and controlled the entire Qinghai-Tibet, when he supported the Yellow Sect, and as the protector of the Yellow Sect, he could become the supreme ruler of the entire Qinghai-Tibet region, forming a situation in which the Mongolian Khan King and the Yellow Sect Dalai jointly ruled the Tibetan area.

But the sudden westward advance of the Han army broke this situation.

The Han not only seized a lot of the territory he had conquered, but also established the new provinces of Xikang and Qinghai, and their ambitions were so clear that Gushi Khan could not tolerate the fruits of his victory being picked by the Khans when the fruits of his victory were ripe.

In order to keep the fruits of his victory, Gushi Khan actively contacted the Oirat tribes, so there was this Oirat Alliance, the Oirat Code, and the Oirat Alliance.

After the formation of the coalition army, led by Gushi Khan of the Heshute Department and Batur Huntaiji of the Dzungar Department, they came eastward and prepared to engage the Han army in Qinghai and drive the Han army out of Qinghai.

They also planned to continue to march into Tibet after repelling the Han army, annihilate the Zangba Khan, and bring the whole of Qinghai and Tibet into the Oirat Alliance.

Liu Jun couldn't have imagined that Moxi Mongolia would actually show him a knife at this time.

"As far as I know, the strongest of the Oirats is now Batur Hun Taiji of the Dzungar Ministry, this is an ambitious person, expanding his power on the North Road of the Tianshan Mountains, and he wants to unify the Oirat tribes, right?"

"Exactly, Your Majesty. The Dzungar tribe is now the strongest, so the leader of the Turghut tribe and Orlek of the four Oirat tribes moved west to the lower Volga region with his subordinates and part of the Dulbert tribe and the herdsmen of the Shuote tribe. And Gushi Khan of the Heshuo Special Department was bent on attacking Qinghai-Tibet, and Batur Hun Taiji has always supported him, in fact, because they had already reached an agreement between them. The Dzungar Ministry supported the Heshuo Special Department to capture Qinghai-Tibet, and after the Heshuo Special Department took Qinghai-Tibet, its original territory would be returned to the Dzungar Ministry. ”

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, not to mention the four strong forces, so as soon as Dzungaria is strong, the Turks were immediately forced to move west to Russia. The Dulbert ministry chose to submit to Dzungaria.

Even the leader of the Oirat Alliance, Gushi Khan of the Heshute Department, even if he has a khan position, he has to choose to go south to Qinghai-Tibet.

They are all calculating, but because of this, they want to be the enemy of the big Han, but they are a little overconfident and self-sufficient.

Originally, Liu Jun also thought that after the submission of the eastern Mongolian tribes, Moxi Mongolia should be able to take them without a fight, but now it seems that they will not be able to take them without experiencing blood and fire. (To be continued.) )
