Chapter 717: Good Intentions (1st Update)
"King Anle, I think that Emperor Taizong was very kind to your Huite Department back then, not only opened the mutual market to trade with you, but also allocated materials to rescue when your tribe suffered a snow disaster, but you didn't think about the emperor's grace and went south to invade, Emperor Taizong must be disappointed in the spirit of the sky."
Seeing that Bald Polo was speechless by his own refutation, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and then his face turned pale, and he looked at Bald Polo solemnly, "Actually, both Emperor Taizong and the current saint have high expectations for King Anle, but unfortunately King Anle's behavior is really regrettable." ”
A depressed look suddenly appeared on the face of Bald Polo when he heard this, morally speaking, Da Ming has helped the Hui Special Department a lot, but then again, in his opinion, this is just Da Ming's entrapment of them, but on the bright side, he can't refute it.
"King Anle, before Benhou came to Liaodong, the emperor once said to Benhou that if King Anle can get lost, then he will pardon King Anle's guilt." Li Yuntian glanced at Bald Polo and said quietly, "Emperor Taizong has made three vassal kings in Wara, and the emperor doesn't want all these three vassal kings to be deposed, so I hope King Anle will seize the opportunity and don't miss this rare opportunity." ”
"The emperor wants to pardon me?" Hearing this, it was quite surprising to make Bald Polo look like a surprise, but he didn't expect Emperor Xuande to be so important to him.
"You don't joke." Li Yuntian nodded solemnly, "King Anle, Daming needs someone to govern the vast grassland, I don't know what King Anle wants?" ”
In fact, Emperor Xuande did not mention the bald Polo to Li Yuntian at all, and when Li Yuntian left, Emperor Xuande was in high spirits, wanting to sweep away the national capitals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Hala and Lincheng, how could he care about a Warat leader?
Obviously, what Li Yuntian said now is just to appease the Bald Polo, anyway, Emperor Xuande has already given him a lot of authority, and if he can use the Bald Polo to help Daming suppress Wara, then Emperor Xuande will definitely agree to Li Yuntian's approach.
When Vulture Polo heard this, he suddenly fell into silence, he knew that Li Yuntian threw an olive branch to him, but if he did what Li Yuntian said, then in the future, not to mention Warat, even the Hui Te Department might gradually dissipate, and merge with the Mongolian tribes on the grassland and even the Ming Dynasty, he didn't want to see this scene happen in his heart.
"King Anle, the Commander of Azashri, the Commander of Haisa Nan Taxi, and the Commander of Tru Kuchar have received the Emperor's decree, and from now on they will be the Earls of my Daming, and they will also serve in the Mongolian Metropolitan Division."
Li Yuntian saw that the vultures had concerns in his heart, so he smiled slightly, and quietly told the preferential treatment given to the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, and looked at the vultures with a smile, "The Tatars and Warats went south this time, in the final analysis, for the livelihood of the people, and the Ming Dynasty will treat them better." ”
"Abba, we have been defeated, if the emperor really wants to set up a Mongolian political envoy and a Mongolian capital on the grassland, then the grassland will be the world of the Ming Dynasty, if we insist on being the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, the bitter ones are the clansmen in the tribe."
Mu Du felt that Li Yuntian's conditions were good, and the three of Azashiri were just earls, so they could enjoy the same amount of money and treatment as the Ming nobles, so if they were the vassal kings of the vultures, then they would definitely be able to obtain greater benefits, so he couldn't help but weigh the bald Polo left and right.
What is especially important is that Mu Du has been subdued by Li Yuntian, and he has become Li Yuntian's prisoner three times without defense, so he is already very jealous of Li Yuntian in his heart, and he doesn't want to be an enemy of such a terrible person as Li Yuntian again.
What's more, if the vultures Polo are now prisoners, Li Yuntian's courtesy is enough to give face to the vultures, if the vultures are not good or bad, Li Yuntian can find someone else to replace the vultures to implement the Ming Dynasty's policy towards Warat, such as the head of the Turghut tribe, one of the three major leaders of Warat, and Taiping, who was named the king of virtue by Emperor Yongle.
Among the three major tribes of Warat, the Oirat tribe of Dehuan is the strongest, but the most senior is the Hui tribe of the bald Polo.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the 4,000 households were the core components of Warat, and the 4,000 households were: Golmingan, Yikemingan, Zahemingan and Maomingan, corresponding to Erut, Huite, Batut and Balhu Buryatia respectively.
In the early history of Warat, the Huite tribe was dominant, and during the time of Genghis Khan, the leader of the Huduhebeg, was a Huite.
According to the Tot Mongol document "History of the Four Guards", it is recorded that "three generations of the Huite people married into the golden family, and all of them became nobles".
The history of Kudu is goodbye to the descendants of the beggars and the golden family to maintain a hereditary marriage relationship, the male princess, the female is suitable for the emperor's stomach, which can be described as the "World Union Bowl".
The Huite Department was the core ingredient of the early Oirath, and this is not a big problem.
According to the records of the Ming Dynasty historical books: "Warat, the Mongol tribe also, in the west of Tatar, the Yuan died, and its strong minister Meng Ke Timur relied on it." The dead are divided into three, and their canals are called Mahamu, Taiping, and Bald Polo."
The vultures were the leaders of the Hui tribes, Mahamu was the prime minister of the Batura tribes of the Turs tribe in Mongolian literature, and the Taiping was the king of the Turghut tribe of Amugu Langkai.
The Huite tribe was the core component and leading force of the early Oirath, but after the death of Timur, the leader of the Warat, the Oirat department rose.
As for the Oirat Tribe, one day it had to be mentioned, and later split into two tribes, one was the Dulbert Tribe, and the other was the famous Dzungar Tribe, which fought several wars with the Qing Dynasty in later generations, which caused both the Kangxi Emperor and the Qianlong Emperor a headache.
Historians usually regard the Huit tribes as the primitive tribes of Warat, while the Turghuts and Oirats are foreign tribes and are not from the Uiti.
Why did the Huite Department decline? Why did the Oirat Ministry rise? This has become a historical mystery, but during the Mahamu period, the Oirats did not fully gain dominance over Warat, and it was not until the time of his son Tohuan that they took control of Warat.
The sphere of influence extends from the Khing'an Mountains in the east, the Altai Mountains in the west to Lake Balkhash and the Green Mountains, from the Ankara River and Lake Baikal in the north, to the desert in the south, becoming the last powerful force of the steppe peoples in ancient China after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, and has had a non-negligible impact on the history of the East.
But for Yexian, the most memorable thing for the world is that he defeated the Ming army in Tumubao and captured the orthodox emperor, which was the only war in the history of the Ming Dynasty in which the emperor was captured.
The Oirats first lived in the area of the Eight Rivers in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, and lived by hunting, with several branches, each with its own name, and at the beginning of the thirteenth century, they were attached to Genghis Khan and converted to animal husbandry.
After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Oirats began to move south, settling in the northwestern part of the vast steppe from the foothills of the Altai Mountains to the lower reaches of the Selenga River, and changed the hunting economy to a livestock economy, and also engaged in some agriculture.
The upper nobility and some of the tribes of Turghut are derived from Kre, but the origin of Turgot's tribes is extremely complex and diverse, and the royal family of Turghut is not a direct descendant of Wang Han, the leader of Krek during the period of Genghis Khan, but a descendant of his younger brother Zahekang.
According to historical records: Wang Han killed his two younger brothers due to power struggles, and the youngest brother fled into Western Xia with his subordinates when he saw that the situation was not good, and then married the princess of Western Xia and was given the name of Zha He Dare not (the meaning of Zampu), and then returned to the Mongolian Plateau to join Genghis Khan.
After Genghis Khan defeated Kele, when he divided the Kelie tribes among the Mongol tribes, he did not move the tribes that dared to fight and called them his right-hand man.
After not becoming a subject of Genghis Khan, he led his people to gradually move to the Buke River in the northern part of the Mongolian plateau, and his Kele people were only a small part of the entire Kele tribe, and most of the Kele tribe was integrated into the Mongolian tribes and the Kazakh people.
The Kerebu who moved to the Buke River were later involved in the rebellion of the Mongol vassal kings such as Alibuge and Haidu, and from this time on, people from other tribes also merged into the Kelebu, and this part of the Kerek tribe gradually transitioned into a mixed tribe and slowly evolved into the later Turgot.
Therefore, it is not difficult to see that among the three major tribes of Warat, the most noble bloodline is the Huite tribe, followed by the Turghut tribe, and finally the Oirat tribe.
In Li Yuntian's view, if you want to make Warat submit, then you must first eliminate the most powerful of them, the Oirat Department, and then appease the Huite Department and the Turghut Department, after all, the place where Warat is located is too far from the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is not easy to govern, so it has to rely on the local Mongolian nobles to rule.
Li Yuntian attaches great importance to the Oirat Department, not only because the Oirat Department unified the Tatars and Warat in the Yexian era and established a Mongol Empire in the north of the Ming Dynasty, but more importantly, the Oirat Department seems to have a warlike tradition, otherwise it will not replace the Huite Department as the first tribe of Warat, and the process must be bloody, I don't know how many tribes on the steppe have been annexed.
Moreover, the Dzungar tribe, which split from the Oirat part, seems to have inherited its warlike tradition, controlling the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains by force, and establishing the last nomadic empire in history in a vast area stretching from Lake Balkhash in the west, the Altai Mountains in the north, to Turpan in the east, and to the Fuhe and Talas rivers in the southwest.
Therefore, Li Yuntian wanted to take precautions and completely wipe out the Oirats tribe, and his people were scattered and incorporated into other Mongolian tribes.
According to Li Yuntian's plan, he naturally wanted to persuade the Vulture Polo, and then pass the vultures to achieve the goal of the Ming Dynasty controlling the Warat region.
However, if Vulture Polo is not cooperative, then Li Yuntian will have to retreat to cooperate with Taiping, so that Vulture Polo will lose its value.
If the Taiping did not cooperate, Li Yuntian still had a way, he would select people loyal to the Ming Dynasty from among the Mongolian nobles of the Huite and Turghut tribes to assist the Ming in governing the region where the Varat was located, but it would take a lot of energy.
Mu Du really didn't want to fight with Da Ming anymore, to be exact, he didn't want to fight Li Yuntian anymore, Li Yuntian likes to win by surprise with his soldiers, and he can't be sure when he will become Li Yuntian's prisoner again, after three captures without conscription, he has lost the confidence to compete with Li Yuntian.
"Okay, I promise to belong to Da Ming, I hope that Hou Ye can release my subordinates and let them work for Da Ming to atone for their sins!" After hearing Mu Du's words, he showed a gloomy look in Polo's eyes, he knew that Mu Du had lost the confidence to fight with the Great Ming, so after a deep groan, he looked at Li Yuntian with a stern expression and said, putting forward his conditions.
Most of the Warat soldiers who entered Liaodong this time were from the Hui Te Division, and the Vulture Polo had already summoned all the soldiers who could be recruited, and many of them were captured, and if they could not take those prisoners, the Hui Te Department would be dealt a heavy blow.
In the opinion of Bald Polo, regardless of whether Li Yuntian sincerely recruited him or not, the most important thing at present is to be able to grasp the soldiers of the Hui Special Department in his hands, and only with the military power in his hands will he really feel at ease.
"Yes, Ben Hou will hand over all the people from the Hui Special Department to you, and I hope that King An Le can win a succession in the next battle, and Ben Hou can also show the emperor the merits of the prince." Li Yuntian had already thought that Bald Polo would do this, so without the slightest hesitation, he nodded to him with a smile and said.
Li Yuntian has already counted, plus the people of Xining Fort, he has as many as 30,000 prisoners of the Warahui Special Department in his hands, although there are many people, but the scale of the Ming army is even larger, it has exceeded 200,000, and there are more than 100,000 people who can compete with the Mongol soldiers, plus tens of thousands of Uliangha soldiers who have taken refuge, so he is not worried about turning the Bald Polo out of his way.
In Li Yuntian's view, the stakes are too big to show that Vulture Polo does not have the courage to turn against the Ming army, once he loses these 30,000 Hui Tebu soldiers, then the rule in the Walla region will come to an end, and there will be no bargaining capital with the Ming Dynasty.
"Thank you Lord Hou for taking care of the dog, this king will never forget the kindness of Lord Jì." Bald Polo originally thought that Li Yuntian would not rest assured that he would hand over those soldiers of the Hui Special Department to him, but he didn't expect Li Yuntian to be so generous, and a hanging heart finally fell, and then he remembered something, and said to Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian let Mu Du go twice, and this friendship made Bald Polo a natural guide, which can be regarded as a good start for the cooperation between the two sides.
"King Anle is serious, Benhou is just acting on the emperor's orders." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and waved his hand disappreciatively, as long as he surrendered to Da Polo on the battlefield, then no matter whether he sincerely surrendered to Da Polo or delayed the army, the alliance of the three major tribes of Warat would be disintegrated, and this is the most important thing.
