Chapter 350: Reaction of the Desert Steppe Departments (5)

Last time, I mentioned that in a different time and space, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the internal strife in the Mongolian Tumut Department to send troops to occupy the Qinghai pastoral area, and strictly guarded the return of the Mongols.

The "Trans-Khalkha III" was originally managed by the descendants of the eleventh son of the "Dayan Khan", Ge Sen Zazar, and initially lived nomadically in the area west of the Khalkha River flowing into Lake Bell. Gerson Zazar had seven sons and seven "otoks", and could have lived a "quiet life" like a paradise.

Later, however, the Khalkha tribe also developed to the lower reaches of the Krulun River, and when the right-wing Mongol "Altan Khan" and Bodi Khan went on an eastward expedition to "Duoyan Sanwei", they attacked from the north and seized a considerable part of the territory as pasture. The sons of Gyasen Zazar also repeatedly defeated the Warat tribes and succeeded in expelling them.

His third son, Nono, and his son, Abadai Saiyin Khan, defeated the Hoshot tribe in the Kobdor region and for a time took control of Warat (Oirat). Until the beginning of the 17th century, his eldest son, Ashhai Hongtaiji's grandson, Lai Hul Khan, was still able to defeat Warat and occupy the Konkui, Zabkhan River valley and other places.

At the same time, another grandson of Ashhai Hongtaiji, the subordinate brother of Shohul Ubashi (Altan Khan), also expanded into the Tangnu-Ulianghai region, taking possession of the Kyrgyz Lake, Ubusha Lake, the Bekmu River and the Sayan Ridge area, and established the "Hetuohuit Division".

In 1587, Abadai Saiyin Khan was awarded the title of "Great Prestige Wazir Khan" by the "Third Dalai Lama". Since then, the leaders of the Khalkha Mongol tribes have also been called "Khan". After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, some of the descendants of Ge Sen Zazar formed the three tribes of Mobei Mongolia that are well known to later generations.

Among them, Subadi, the eldest son of Hul Khan, was "Zasaktu Khan", and his department was called "Zasaktu Khan". Abadai Saiyin Khan's grandson Gon Bu is "Tushetu Khan", and his department is called "Tushetu Khan". The descendant of Amindu Thorn is "Chechen Khan", and his department is called "Chechen Khan", which has nothing to do with Russian Chechnya.

Nuo Nuo and Zitu Mengken were awarded the title of "Saiyin Nuoyan" by the "Dalai Lama", and their descendants made meritorious contributions to the attack on Dzungar in the early days of the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and were awarded the title of "Saiyin Nuoyan Khan", and the department was called "Saiyin Nuoyan Khan". As for the descendants of Sambema, they became the princes of Tangnu Ulianghai in northwestern Mongolia.

The "Nekhalkha Department" was under the control of Archuborot, the fifth son of "Dayan Khan". Since he had 5 sons, he was divided into 5 "Etok", including the Bahrain, Zalut, Bayout, Uziyat, Hongjira and other tribes. In the middle of Jiajing, the "Inner Khalkha Department" went to the Liaohetao area for nomadic herding.

In this way, it seriously threatens the security of the western border of Ming and Liaoning. Because it occupied part of the territory of the "Duoyan Sanwei" as a pasture, it often appears in the official historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, and it is common to see the fifth son of Alchuborot leading the cavalry Koubian, and he is the ruler of the "Inner Khalkha Department".

The "Chahar Headquarters" came directly under the leadership of the Great Khan. After the death of "Dayan Khan", his eldest grandson, Bodi Arak Khan, ascended the throne. At this time, all the Mongol tribes had to regularly go to the Great Khan's headquarters to pay tribute, meet and hunt, discuss national affairs, and govern the people in accordance with the "Great Law of Zasaktu Khan" promulgated by the Great Khan.

After the "Uliangha" repeatedly infested the Great Khan's garrison, Bodi Arak Khan dealt a severe blow to the Uliangha, and as a result of the victory in the war, he was given the title "Kuden Khan". In 1547, Kuden Khan died, and his son Da Lai Xun succeeded to the honorific title of "Cheng Kuden Khan".

However, due to the death of the water and grass in the station, the abundance of water and grass in the Liaohe Loop, and the aggressiveness of the right-wing Mongolian "Altan Khan", who was ashamed of the situation led by his nephew, Da Lai Sun Kuden Khan had to lead the headquarters of the Great Khan to move east to the Liaohe Loop for grazing in the same year.

Although the "Chahar Department" is still the co-lord of the whole Mongolia, and the tribes must listen to the orders of the "Great Khan" (Dayan Khan) and pay tribute, the Mongolian steppe lacks a unified economic foundation to consolidate the unity, and the previous Genghis Khan attacked each other soon after the partition of his descendants due to blood estrangement, the longer the "Dayan Khan" was divided, the more inclined the tribes were to separate themselves and stand on each other's strengths, so it was inevitable that war would break out.

After moving eastward, the "Altan Khan's power" expanded rapidly, reaching the "Uliangha" region. In 1558, Tumen Khan ascended the throne, and in order to eliminate political antagonism within the ruling group and strengthen the authority of the Great Khan, he appointed the authoritative lords of Mongolia as rulers, namely:

"He ordered the 30,000 people on the left wing to take charge of the affairs of Amudai Hongtaiji of the Chahar, the Khalkha Wei Zheng Sobogai, the 30,000 people of the right wing of the Inner Ordos Kutu Kechechen Hongtaiji, the Nomuda Lagula Zinoyan of the Asuut, and the Chuluk Hongtaiji of Tumut, so that they were called Zasaktu Khan, and the great powers ruled in peace. The three tribes of Zhurzit, Erikt and Daqiorr will take their offerings so that the public can settle down. ”

These powerful figures advised and prepared state affairs around the Great Khan, which coordinated the relationship between the parties and avoided unnecessary suspicion. As a result, the forces of the "Tumen Khan" reached the northeast and began to collect taxes on the Jurchens. The Ming Dynasty also regarded it as a great enemy, which proved the effectiveness of Tumen Khan's governance.

He also changed the long-standing policy of paying tribute and apportioning to the subordinate tribes, and adopted the formal method of collecting taxes, which was much more effective than some Great Khans who used purely military force to seize them, and promoted the development of Mongolian society, which was supported by the majority of herdsmen, and thus strengthened the "power of the Great Khan".

In 1573, because of the marriage between Tumen Khan's younger brother and the Jurchen king Gao, the Mongol tribes also contacted the Jurchen troops in the war against the Ming. "Jianzhou Jurchen" Wang Gao even killed the Ming Dynasty generals, and later the Jurchens had to hand over Wang Gao, and Wang Gao's son left after plundering the Hunhe River.

Buyan Khan ascended the throne in 1593 and died in 1603, and his grandson Lindan Khan ascended the throne, calling himself "Khutuktu Khan", comparing himself to "Genghis Khan", and conquered the east and west within Mongolia. But at this time, the rise of the "Houjin", Lin Dan Khan's doing so made many tribes take refuge in the "Houjin" after being defeated.

After the "Houjin" army crusaded against Lin Dan Khan, he moved his troops west to Qinghai, and finally died of illness in the big grass beach in Gansu, and his son Ezhe was forced to surrender to the Qing.

The subordinate tribes of the Chahar tribe include the Kishketeng, Khozit, Aohan, Naiman, Sunit, Uzhumuqin, Arakzhuot, and Juyiti, all of whom are direct tribes of the Great Khan. After the death of Dayan Khan, the eldest son was supposed to ascend the throne, but his eldest son Tulu Borot died early, so his son Bodi ascended the throne and inherited the Chahar Wanhu. The sixth son of "Dayan Khan", Uzirborot, was sealed in the Kashketeng Department of Chahar Wanhu and was in charge of eight "Etoks".

They had no relationship with the Ming Dynasty. The seventh son, Alborot, was enclosed in the Hozit department, and the leader of the reign of Da Lai Sun Kuden Khan was Tumen Khan, who was stationed north of Pine Ridge. The eighth son of "Dayan Khan", Ge Daborot, commanded two "Etoks" of Chahar Wanhu Ao Han and Naiman.

Ge Borot only had two sons, and there is no record in later generations, but for some reason the Ao Han and Naiman tribes were taken over by the grandsons of Namik, the second son of Tulu Borot, Daiqing Duleng and Esen Wei Zheng Nuoyan, who belonged to Ao Han and Naiman respectively, and were active in the area of Yizhou in eastern Liaodong.

Alborot's descendants still had the tribesmen and livestock, but the name of the tribe was changed to Kuden Khan, the grandson of Tuluborot. The Kishketeng of Uzirborot was always in the hands of his descendants.

Before the rise of the "Houjin" regime, Nurhachi attached great importance to the intelligence collection of various Mongolian ministries, and paid attention to winning over and dividing Mongolian ministries.

At that time, Mongolia was led by Lin Dan Khan, and in order to strengthen his authority after his accession to the throne, he built the "Chahanhot City" in the Bahrain Ministry as the political, economic, and cultural center of Mongolia.

He appointed the Yongshebu Department to manage 30,000 households on the right wing, the Inner Khalkha Department of Sirjunak Hongtaiji to manage the left wing 30,000 households, and Chahar Ba Etok to manage 30,000 households on the left wing, but directly under Lin Dan Khan. In the early years of his reign, he still had the authority of the Great Khan, and used "Tibetan Buddhism" to expand his influence. At first, he also revered the "Yellow Religion", but later he was convinced by the "Red Lamas" and converted to the Red Religion, which led to the alienation of the Mongolian tribes who believed in the Yellow Religion.

In 1608, Nurhachi's eldest son, Chu Ying, invaded Ula, and the Ula tribe asked for help from the Korqin tribe. With the consent of Lin Dan Khan, the reinforcements of the Horqin Department arrived in time and repelled Chu Ying. Subsequently, the Korqin tribe fought with the "Houjin Army" several times under the orders of Lin Dan Khan, and once penetrated into the territory of the "Houjin" and plundered a large number of cattle and sheep. When Nurhachi attacked Liaodong, Lin Dan Khan had many wars with the "Later Jin", but was defeated by the Later Jin army.

In 1619, Lin Dan Khan sent a letter to Nurhachi, proclaiming himself "the lord of 400,000 Mongolians" and calling Nurhachi "the lord of 30,000 people on the waterfront". At first, the Korqin, Karaqin, Inner Khalkha and other tribes close to the Later Jin all warned Lin Dan Khan, believing that the Later Jin Unification War would affect Mongolia and hoped that Lin Dan Khan would take necessary measures to prevent Nurhachi, but Lin Dan Khan refused to send troops to interfere with the annexation of other Jurchen tribes by the "Later Jin".

However, Nurhachi took the lead in attacking the Inner Khalkha tribe in April 1623 AD and eliminated the Zalut tribe Taiji Angan, who had a tough attitude towards the "Later Jin". This shows that Lin Dan Khan has changed his policy, focusing mainly on the interior and vigorously engaging in military unification, which has made him further lose his popularity, and many of the Mongol tribes attacked by him have taken refuge in the "Houjin". This invisibly increased the strength of the "Houjin", but weakened Mongolia.

In his policy toward Mongolia, Nurhachi has always been tolerant and accommodating in order to concentrate on dealing with the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, he even adopted the method of marriage, and during his own reign alone, he married as many as 17 Mongolian nobles, totaling about 100 people, which greatly strengthened the relationship between Manchu and Mongolia.

Nurhachi won over many Mongols through "marriages", and after completely conquering the Liaodong region of the Ming Dynasty, he began to sow discord and divide the Korqin, Karaqin, and Inner Khalkha tribes on the periphery of the Great Khan.

For example, after the "Battle of Tieling" in July 1619, Nurhachi crossed Lin Dan Khan and formed an alliance with Nekharkha to deal with the Ming Dynasty, and Lin Dan Khan did accuse Nekharkha for this, plus he believed in the Red Religion, which led to the three tribes of Mobei Khalkha and the southern tribe of Monan who believed in the Yellow Religion becoming more and more estranged from it.

The Inner Khalkha Department, which managed 30,000 households on the left wing of Mongolia, led 3,000 households to take refuge in the "Houjin". Influenced by it, some Nekhalkha nobles also led 2,000 households to defect to the "Houjin". Some of the nobles of the Uzhumuqin and Sunit tribes took refuge in the "Chechen Khan" of the Khalkha tribe.

Lin Dan Khan, as the "Great Khan of Mongolia", issued an order to prohibit the Mongolian ministries from communicating with the "Houjin", and once the violators were found, they would be severely punished!
