At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Jianzhou regime, which had just seized the entire prosperous area of the Central Plains, was satisfied with the Khalkha Mongol tribes in Mobei and the Oirat Mongols in Xinjiang and other places for the time being. biquge.info It was through this conquest that the Qing court obtained the nominal suzerainty of Khalkha in the form of "Nine White Tributes" (note: eight white horses and one white camel), and accordingly obtained the right to arbitrate the conflict between the Khalkha Mongols and the Oirat Mongols.
In 1653, when Batur died, and his successor was assassinated by his half-brother in the ninth year of the Kangxi reign (1670), Batur's widow immediately sent people to Lhasa to arrange for Batur's youngest son, Galdan, to return to succeed him.
At the request of his mother, the 26-year-old Kaldan resigned to the Fifth Dalai Lama, Lobsang Gyatso, and the Tibetan Diba, Sangyel Gyatso, with their permission, and the Dalai Lama personally conferred on him the title of "Tenzin Boshoktu", so that Galdan immediately succeeded to the throne as Hongtaiji after returning to his hometown.
After Galdan succeeded to the throne, he constantly demanded that the rest of the Oirat Mongol tribes submit to him, and successively accepted Aldartaiji of the Dulbert tribe, Tenzin Hongtaiji of the Heshute tribe, and Gunbutaiji of the Turghut tribe, which caused dissatisfaction among the other Oirat tribes. According to the Khalkha-Oirat Code, the leader of the Oirat Mongol League, the Ozirtu Chechen Khan, led his troops to crusade against Galdan, but was defeated by Kaldan, so that Galdan controlled the entire territory of Oirat Mongolia, and abolished the old titles such as Taiji, Jinong (vice king), and Keshi (Taishi) to establish the "Zaisang" system.
The system stipulated that the supreme power of the khanate belonged to the Khan's court, and the khanate set up a number of zaisangs around him to help deal with daily affairs, and all major matters were to be honored by the Great Khan. From top to bottom, the Khan's court set up units such as the Ulus, Etok, Aimak, Forty Households, and Twenty Households, which were managed by officials of all sizes, such as Noyan, Hongtaiji, Zaisang, Aimak, Demuqi, Shuleng, and the supervisor, and the people's lawsuits were handled by Zarguqin, and the heavy cases were adjudicated by the Great Zarguqin of the Khanate. In this way, Galdan took all power into his own hands, thus completing the transition from tribal confederation to state power. In the seventeenth year of Kangxi, the Fifth Dalai Lama presented the title of "Boshoketu Khan" to Galdan, and a new Jungar Empire was born. ”
After the establishment of the Jungar Empire, Galdan continued to expand outward, attacking Qinghai in the winter of that year. When the Heshuo Special Department in Qinghai heard that Junggar was coming, they retreated into Gansu, which alarmed the Qing court. As the nascent Dzungar Empire was fledgling, Galdan wisely avoided a head-on confrontation with the Qing court and returned to Ili within half a month of sending troops.
After that, Galdan captured Hami and Turpan ruled by the descendants of Chagatai Khan in the 18th year of Kangxi, and captured the southern Xinjiang controlled by the Weiwuer people in the 20th year of Kangxi, and went north to capture Andijan in the 22nd year of Kangxi, and conquered Kokand, Namgan, Margalang, and Tashkent in the 23rd year of Kangxi, and captured Bukhara and Samarkand in another year, and its imperial border has been extended to a vast area on the west coast of the Caspian Sea.
While developing westward, Galdan did not forget the shame of avoiding war in those years, and always paid attention to the situation in the east. At this time, the new Zasaktu Khan Chenggon clashed with Tushetu Khan Chahun Dorji, because the mediation between the Qing court and the Dalai Lama was invalid, and he had to form an alliance with the Jungar Empire.
In order to prevent the Khalkha Mongols from splitting and preventing the Dzungar people from benefiting from the split of Khalkha Mongols, Kangxi not only sent envoys to the Khalkha Mongol Zasak (note: Mongolian consuls, one person for each banner in the Qing Dynasty, under the Khan, the prince, the county king, the beyler, and the bezi, and can be commonly called the prince), he also invited the Fifth Dalai Lama to send envoys to participate in mediating the Khalkha Mongolian civil strife. But what the Qing court didn't know was that as early as February 25, 1682, the 5th Dalai Lama died suddenly in the Potala Palace in Lhasa, but Diba Sangjie Gyatso decided not to mourn and announced to the public that the Dalai Lama had been in residence for a long time, and that no one else was seen except Diba, but the letters, announcements and documents were still signed in the name of the Dalai Lama.
In November of the 26th year of the reign of Kangxi, the envoys of the "Dalai Lama" attended the meeting held in the Kulen Bolezir of the Sanyin Noyan Department of Outer Mongolia, which was attended by all seven Zasak princes of the Khalkha Mongols except Tushetu Khan, as well as the envoys of the Taiji, the Living Buddha and the Qing Imperial Court of the Qing Dynasty.
Far from succeeding, the Kulen Plezir Alliance had a ceremonial event: because the Qing court Imperial Court Shangshu Arni, in order to elevate the status of the living Buddha Jebtsundamba, who was the younger brother of Tushetu Khan, let him sit side by side with the Dalai Lama's envoy, Erdeni Dalai Siletu.
This faux pas immediately became the best thing for Galdan, who sent a letter of rebuke not only to the Qing court, but also to Jebtsundamba, and then again swore an alliance with Zasaktu Khan. After making these preparations, Galdan moved the main force from the southern foot of the Altai Mountains to the Khobdo place adjacent to the Khalkha Mongols, and at the same time sent more than 1,000 lamas to the Khalkha Mongol left wing to collect intelligence in the name of "Buddhist activities".
"Chahun Dorji is really a muddy ball." In the south study, Kangxi cursed Tushetu Khan in front of his favorite minister Mingzhu. "It's not enough to succeed and more to lose, just kill Gunbu, and actually go to contact Galdan's younger brother Dorzizab, isn't this adding fuel to the fire? Galdan is worried that he can't find an excuse, this guy is good, send one alive. ”
Since Suo Etu had already gone to Nebuchu to negotiate the northeastern frontier line with the Russians, Mingzhu had truly become a person under one person and above ten thousand people at this moment, but this first favorite minister of the Xi Dynasty did not dare to look directly at the gaffe of this holy monarch, and only made a subtle admonition with his head down and looking at his official boots.
Of course, Kangxi is a very smart emperor, and when he saw Mingzhu's appearance, he knew that he had exposed his bottom, but fortunately, he had already vented what he should vent at the moment, so he sat back on the chair, and then asked Mingzhu as if nothing had happened: "How do you think the Qing family should deal with this matter?" ”
"Now that Prince Kang is preparing to use troops in the southeast, the use of the country is huge, and the imperial court has no spare strength to interfere in the war in Mobei, so it is better to persuade Chahun Dorji to withdraw his troops to ease Galdan's anger." Mingzhu looked up and responded. "The minister thinks that when the sea rebellion is eliminated, it will not be too late to go back and teach Galdan a lesson."
"Mongolia has always been in great trouble before the Ming Dynasty, and if this dynasty has conquered Southern Mongolia, it will be able to enter the Central Plains." Facing the pearl of his minions, Kangxi's words were very direct, and he did not mean to hide it for his ancestors. "If I sit back and watch Jungar sit big, I don't know that he will become my Lin Dan Khan."
Lin Dan Khan is the last Mongolian Han of Kublai Khan's golden family, and once fought against the Jin regime, the predecessor of the Qing court, in the two generations of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, and his son Chahar Prince Abunai's two sons Bulni and Luo Buzang raised the banner in Chahar during the rebellion of the three feudatories against the Qing Dynasty, and the loss of the veteran Tuhai was there, otherwise the Qing court would be finished.
"I think Galdan is not as good as Lin Dan Khan." Mingzhu explained. "Although Lin Dan Khan is arrogant and incompetent, he is the communist lord of Mongolia after all, and the willingness of the four tribes to worship can make him repeatedly defeated and defeated." Mingzhu paused. "Although Galdan can conquer the limelight for a while, but swallowed by the whales, the Mongolian tribes are afraid of a lot of people, if I raise an army to fight, even if no one obeys, but the Mongolian tribes will never take refuge in Galdan. The minister thinks that if I insist on this item, I will win the battle in the Qing Dynasty. ”
"There is some truth in this, but the grassland has always respected the strong." Kangxi nodded in agreement with Mingzhu's statement, but agreed with him, and his tone was a little hesitant. "If Dzungar is allowed to defeat Tushetu Khan, in case"
Mingzhu said knowingly: "The minister thinks that it is not possible to ask the Dalai Lama to restrain Galdan's actions." ”
"Good." Kangxi agreed, but he didn't know that it was the instigation of the "Da Lama" that made this war more intense!
Seeing that Kangxi had made a decision, Mingzhu cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, who is the commander of the southeast?" ”
"Wan Zhengse wants to pick on the son again, this bastard thing." Again, to the Southeast. Kangxi's face was full of anger. "Did he think that if I left Zhang Butcher, I would only be able to eat hairy pigs?"
"Your Majesty, Wan Zhengse is one of the few famous sailors in the country, last time he was not optimistic about Shi Lang, and it was indeed proven"
Before Mingzhu's words were finished, Kangxi slapped his angry palm on the imperial case: "Don't mention Shi Lang to me again." ”
Mingzhu was excited, and immediately stopped speaking, and saw Kangxi squinting his eyes and thinking: "Wan Zhengse thinks that it is difficult to divide the work if there are too many people and ships, so let's do it, Fu Kui led his troops to attack Penghu from Nanao and Tongshan, and let Wan Zhengse lead his troops to attack from Jinxia, as for Zhejiang, you can send troops from Haitan, and all the sailors go hand in hand, and see how the sea is resisted." ”
Mingzhu's eyes rolled and he immediately applauded: "The emperor's idea is good, in this way, the division of merit among the armies has become the merit grabbing by each army, and it is impossible not to do a single cadre of ministers without doing their best." ”
"After all, they are all Han Chinese, and they are not as loyal as the nation, so they have to be motivated in turn." Kangxi said lightly. "I also want to add a fire, spread my meaning, and tell them that if Dongning can be determined this time, I will not hesitate to reward the Duke with the most meritorious achievements."
Originally, he was counting on Shi Lang to point out a marquis's reward when he pacified Taiwan, but now that the reward has been opened to the duke, it will definitely make Wan Zhengse and the others' eyes scarlet, to this, Mingzhu responded simply: "Tsk! Minions, let's do it."
