When Zheng Kezhang was still inspecting Zhongzhou and Henan, the Xia army in Longxi began to act.

On September 13, the ninth year of Wucheng in China, the second division of the Xia Army's Iron Cavalry Army marched eastward from Xining and soon appeared on the edge of Qinghai Lake.

In Qinghai in the Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian and Tibetan ethnic groups were basically bounded by the Yellow River.

The northern part belongs to the territory of the Mongols, there are five major tribes of Heshute, Huite, Zhuros (Dzungaria), Turghut, and Khalkha, and Tashibatu Khan is the most powerful of them, but Lhasa, the nest of the Heshute Khanate, is now in the hands of the Junggar Empire, and Zashbatu Khan is isolated, coupled with the failure of several of its invasions of Gansu, it is already the twilight of the western mountains.

South of the Yellow River is the land of the Tibetans, among which the Kham Yushu tribe is the most powerful, so it is collectively known as the Yushu Forty Tribes.

Since the territory of the Huaxia and the Yushu Forty Tribes was still separated by the Mongol tribes, the Qinghai Xuanfu envoy mainly took measures to pacify them. After nearly a year of contact, more than 20 Tibetan leaders have accepted the local official positions of the Tu Prefect, Tu Zhi Prefecture, and Tu Zhi County of the Huaxia Dynasty, which can be regarded as the oath of becoming the internal vassals of China.

Although this relationship between the internal and feudal domains was in fact fragile, it at least enabled China to avoid a two-front war for a short time, and to focus on the Mongol tribes in Qinghai.

On September 19, Zhang Yang, the second division of the Iron Cavalry Army, was under the command of Zhang Yang -- once upon a time, the boy scouts of the same age as Zheng Kezhang finally sat in the position of division commander, and they couldn't help but sigh the passage of time for no reason, but these generals from the boy scouts regretted that with the increasing number of division-level units in the Xia Army, the originally prominent division control system had become inconspicuous, and even the grade was reduced to the fourth grade. The former Boy Scouts still had a great opportunity to make a name for themselves - to send orders to all parts of Qinghai to meet at Qinghai Lake.

The alliance is fake, and it is true that the Mongolian Ministry is required to declare itself a vassal to Huaxia, and Tashibatu Khan can see this clearly.

In order to preserve his position, Tashibatu Khan also ordered the entire Qinghai Mongolian tribe to be summoned.

Naturally, the Mongol tribes were divided. Among them, the Hui Te and Turgot were not willing to get too stiff with the emerging Han state, and they also expected to obtain tea, wine, iron and other daily necessities and many luxury goods such as spices, silk, glass mirrors, clocks and watches from Huaxia, so they went to the Qinghai Lake Alliance presided over by Zhang Yang; However, the Zoros Department admits that it has the support of the Jungar Empire behind it, and does not intend to intervene in the confrontation between Huaxia and the Heshuotes, and even has the intention of seizing Qinghai by itself after both sides are defeated, so the alliance of both sides did not participate; Only the Khalkhas, whose headquarters were still under the influence of the Qing court, eventually joined the camp of the Heshutes.

However, although the two tribes of Huite and Turghut were unwilling to fight Huaxia, they were also unwilling to hand the knife to their Mongolian compatriots. Therefore, judging from the results of the alliance, Zhang Yang's side only divided the opponent, but did not increase his own strength.

Of course, Zhang Yang didn't care if there were Huite and Turhut people joining, so he didn't use tea, wine and other materials to blackmail the two tribes, but this unexpectedly won the favor of the two Mongols. Zhang Yang's invitation to their leaders to watch his battle with Tashibatu Khan was also interpreted by the upper echelons of the two ministries as a certainty of victory, and in accordance with the Mongol tradition of following the strong, the two ministries in turn took the initiative to send troops to the war.

On the fifth day of October in the ninth year of Wucheng, the Xia army of the camp marched westward along the southern edge of Qinghai Lake, and soon arrived at Dabsunnaoer (Chaka Salt Lake). Since the large green salt produced by Dabsunnaoer had a crucial impact on maintaining the rule of Tashbatu Khan, the Heshut, who could not retreat, were forced to send troops to meet them.

In the early morning of 10 October, in the face of the cold wind blowing across the Qilian Mountains, nearly 10,000 Heshute cavalry and almost 3,000 Khalkha cavalry launched a huge and decisive charge against the iron cavalry army under Zhang Yang.

Although the charging Mongols looked very brave, the times were different, and Tashbatu Khan, who faced the firearms, soon suffered the first wave of blows - although the power of the six-point cannon was not great, but when the roar of hundreds of cannons resounded in the sky, the Mongol riders could not restrain their turbulent horses at all, Rao was a Mongol who grew up on horseback, and he barely fell off his horse, and he was powerless to make any more impacts.

The Mongol coalition lost its impact, and at this time it was the turn of the Xia army's iron cavalry.

I saw that the Huaxia cavalry of the two brigades lined up in an extremely dense formation, which seemed to be slow, but in fact it was an unstoppable crushing past, turning all the enemies who were blocking in front of them into powder.

The Huite and Turgots who joined the Chinese side looked at this qiē in amazement, and in disbelief, they even knelt outside the battlefield and recited Buddhist scriptures to soothe the horror in their hearts.

"Patriarchs, it's time for you to play." With a demonic smile, Zhang Yang ordered that there was also a brigade of cavalry by his side watching over the Mongols who had taken refuge, and that if something changed, it would turn them into fertilizer for the earth as if they were crushing the Heshutes. "Let this official take a good look at the bravery of Genghis Khan's descendants??????"

Without hesitation, the Huites and Turkuts flew on their horses, and then rushed towards their own countrymen. Perhaps they understood that if they hesitated, what happened to the Shute people in front of them would be the future end of their tribe.

With the entry of the Huites and the Turks, the war ended without suspense. In the battle, the Xia army suffered less than 500 casualties, while the Heshuotes only escaped 4,000, and the 3,000 Khalkhas also confessed most of them.

The battle is over, but the follow-up work cannot be stopped. In view of the fact that the weather had turned cold, the Xia army quickly retreated to the front line of Xining, but before retreating, Zhang Yang distributed a large area of pasture land that originally belonged to the Heshute people to the Huites and Turghuts in the name of assisting the Xia army in the battle, and sent an envoy again to inform Tashibatu Khan that he must go to Xining to surrender, otherwise, the Heshute Department will be completely expelled in the coming year, as for the Khalkha people, those who do not obey will die, which is the iron law of success and defeat on the grassland.

Forced by the threat of force from the Xia army, the Khalkha tribe decided to flee back to Mobei after the beginning of spring. However, the Khalkha still had a way to retreat, but Tashbatu Khan had no way to leave Qinghai, after all, the Heshute Khanate behind him had been destroyed, and the Dzungar people would never welcome him back to Lhasa.

After some deliberation, Tashibatu Khan finally succumbed, of course, perhaps in his opinion, compared to the Yuros, who would not even leave the last piece of pasture to him, Huaxia was nothing more than a request for a nominal suzerainty, so it was acceptable to let the Heshuotes survive without a little face.

On November 19, the ninth year of Wucheng, Tashibatu Khan went to Xining with the attitude of pleading guilty.

Huo Shangwen, the prefect of Xining and the envoy of Qinghai Xuanfu, received Tashibatu Khan on behalf of the Chinese court.

At the beginning of the meeting, Huo Shangwen did not question why the other party had repeatedly invaded Ninglan, but only asked: "I heard that the Qing court sent the Efu Shang Zhilong to Qinghai to win over the various departments, and asked Gui Khan to hand over this person to show his sincerity." ”

Tashibatu Khan replied: "Shang Zhilong has returned to Ganzhou in August, and the little Khan is really unable to hand over anyone. ”

Hearing that Shang Zhilong had run away, Huo Shangwen sneered: "Then please ask Gui Khan to go back to the territory." ”

Tashibatu Khan was terrified, so he knelt down and bowed and said: "The little Khan is sincerely attached to the Heavenly Empire, and he is willing to swear an oath in front of the gods and Buddhas." ”

Huo Shangwen changed his face at this time: "Then choose a day to invite the living Buddha of Taer Temple to come, and Gui Khan will swear in front of the gods and Buddhas??????"

On the third day of December in the ninth year of Wucheng in China, after fasting for three days, Tashibatu Khan swore loyalty to Huaxia in the name of Heshute Khan in front of the three living Buddhas of Taer Temple, such as Ajia, Choxi, and Xiangsa, and wrote a letter of loyalty to the Chinese court with fingertip blood on the spot and handed it to Huo Shangwen to be forwarded to the Wuchang Emperor.

After Tashibatu Khan succumbed, the Huite and Turghut tribes also followed suit and formally surrendered to the Chinese court.

In April of the tenth year of Wucheng, Zheng Kezhang canonized Tashibatu Khan as the hereditary king of Haixi County and the head of the Heshuo Special Department, and the two leaders of the Hui Te and Turghut also successively received the title of hereditary head (soil chief). Subsequently, Zheng Kezhang announced the abolition of the current Mongolian titles of Khan, Wang, Taiji, Jinong, and Tabunang, and restored the original titles of 10,000 households, 1,000 households, and 100 households, and stipulated that the heads of each department could obtain the title of hereditary governor, and the next 10,000 households were equal to "Tuzhifu", 1,000 households were equal to "Tuzhizhou", 100 households were equal to "Tuzhi County", and 10 households were equal to "Tuzhizhai". In June of the tenth year of Wucheng, the Chinese imperial court issued a decree stipulating that the title of local officials should be inherited from generation to generation, and the sons of local officials should distribute the inheritance according to their own national customs, and the heirs who did not obtain the title of local officials should apply for a new title according to the size of the inheritance??????

After the surrender of Heshuo and other three departments to China, only the Qinghai Mongolian Department was left with the Zhuros Department and had not yet yielded, because the Qinghai Zhuros Department was a branch of the Jungar Empire, so the Chinese side had no intention of attacking by force for the time being, and the focus of Qinghai's appeasement work immediately turned to the Henan Fan (Tibetan) Department, but under the influence of the "Wucheng Restriction Law", some Huangjiao monasteries expressed a distrustful attitude towards the Chinese court, which in turn affected the defection of the Tibetan Department.

In this case, the Chinese court announced that the "monastery restriction field" would not be implemented in the Kham and Amdo areas, and re-canonized the living Buddhas of the monasteries, so the Tibetan Ministry "had the same heart". Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Shangwen made every effort to appease the remaining Tibetan tribes. In view of the attitude of the Chinese and the behavior of the Zhunger people in Lhasa, the forty tribes of Yushu continued to proclaim themselves to the Chinese court.

At this point, the situation in Qinghai gradually stabilized, and although this stability was not reliable, it cannot be denied that no one could separate it from the territory of China??????
