Chapter 351: Reaction of the Desert Steppe Ministries (6)

As mentioned last time, after the Eastern Mongolian steppes in a different time and space began to be manipulated by the "Later Jin", the situation became unfavorable to both the "Mongol Great Khan" and the "Ming Dynasty".

In May 1623, the right-wing of Zarut was afraid of punishment, so he first took refuge in Horqin and then in Houjin. Nurhachi, on the other hand, stepped up his seduction efforts. As a result, he successively won over Korqin Obadaiji, Lin Dan Khan's Shuzu Daiqing Taiji, and Ngadel Taiji of Nekharkha, and successively defeated the Zarut Left Wing and the Bahrain tribe. However, in the face of the aggressive offensive of the "Houjin", the "Great Khan" Lin Dan Khan was unable to organize an effective defense.

After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he adopted both soft and hard methods, and quickly conquered a large number of Mongolian tribes. First of all, he co-opted and conquered the Five Inner Khalkha and Korqin Tribes, weakening the power of the "Great Khan of the Mongols" Lin Dan Khan. Secondly, he instigated the surrender of the Naiman and Ao Han tribes, and sent troops to attack the Chahar on the grounds that the envoys who instigated the Karaqin tribe to surrender were killed.

Lin Dan Khan was forced by the situation, and in a fit of rage, he snatched the tribesmen and livestock of the Subudi Tabunang brothers of the Karaqin tribe. In order to protect themselves, the leader of the Karaqin tribe, Rasqab Khan, and some Taiji, who were led by the Karaqin tribe, and some of the Taiji, Tumut, Ordos, Asut, and Yongshebu, united to fight against Lin Dan Khan's forces.

So, later in July 1628, the leaders of the Karaqin tribe decided to submit to Huang Taiji. By September 1628, when Huang Taiji led his second personal expedition against the "Mongol Great Khan", that is, Lin Dan Khan, the Mongol tribes that sent troops together had already included the Ao Han Tribe, Naiman, Nekhalkha, Karaqin and Horqin Departments.

In November 1630, the Alu Korqin minister Dalai Chuhuer, the four sub-tribes Taiji Yirzhab Morgan Taiji, the Aruyisut tribe Taijiqi Sandarhan, and the Garma Yiledeng successively surrendered to the "Later Jin" regime, which greatly weakened the power of the "Mongol Great Khan".

In March 1632, when Huang Taiji personally conquered the headquarters of the "Mongol Great Khan" of Chahar for the third time, the Mongol tribes participating in the war already had Korqin, Zalut, Balin, Naiman, Aohan, Karaqin, Tumut, Alu Korqin, Wengniut, Asut and other departments, with a total strength of about 100,000 cavalry!

A Mongol stole a horse to inform Lin Dan Khan that Lin Dan Khan had intended to flee to the three Khalkha tribes in Mobei, but the latter was estranged from him. Therefore, he decided to migrate westward, crossed the Yellow River through Hohhot and reached the Ordos grassland, so that the "Houjin" could not catch up with him, and collected tens of thousands of troops on the way back.

Lin Dan Khan, the "Great Khan of Mongolia", declared himself "Lin Dan Baturu Khan" in front of the mausoleum of "Genghis Khan" in Ordos, and then led the Chahar and Ordos departments to the Great Caotan in Gansu. After arriving at the Great Grass Beach, Khalkha Chotutaiji (Tushetu Khan) led 40,000 men to join the Lin Dan Khan tribe.

They established relations with Zangba Khan through the "Red Sect", but in 1634, Lin Dan Khan died suddenly, and his widow and eldest wife Su Tai and eldest son Ezhe led the Chahar and Ordos tribes back to the Ordos grassland, while Tutaiji entered Qinghai, causing a strong impact on the border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

In March 1636, after receiving the support of 49 people from 16 tribes of Monan, Huang Taiji officially called "Bogda Chechen Khan", changed the name of the country to "Qing", and changed the Yuan to "Chongde". As a result, all southern Mongolia was subordinated to the "Manchu Qing", and the Qing Dynasty also married the second daughter of Huang Taiji to Ezhe, and canonized Ezhe as the "prince", divided Chahar into 8 banners, and set up "Dutong" and "Deputy Dutong" for jurisdiction. Of course, the Manchurian aristocracy also married Lin Dan Khan's "Eight Great Blessings" respectively.

After all, in the steppe nomads, women's fertility is as good as pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, camels and other livestock can provide human beings with means of survival, and it is also an "important asset".

Thus, from 1206 to 1635, the "Great Mongolian State" established by "Genghis Khan" came to an end. In 1641, after the death of Ezhe, his younger brother Abunai succeeded to the title, but Abunai's son Burni rebelled and was executed by Emperor Kangxi, so that the "Prince of Chahar" was deposed.

After four hundred years of disturbances, the history of the "Great Mongolian State" has been glorious and decaying, there have been non-"golden family" ghost Li Chihe also dominated the desert first, there are also "Dayan Khan" and "Altan Khan" of the "Golden Family" who are keen to restore the "Yuan Dynasty", and there are Mongolian heroines such as "Lady Manduhai" and "Three Ladies"!

However, their achievements have all vanished, leaving only Ao Bao on the grassland to stand quietly, telling future generations of the rise and fall of this land, but in ancient Chinese history, the war between farming peoples and nomads has always continued, as now.

The Qin and Han dynasties and the Xiongnu, the Sui and Tang dynasties and the Turks, the Song and Liao Jin dynasties, and the Ming dynasties and the Manchu and Mongolian dynasties all staged long-term confrontations and tug-of-wars. By the Ming Dynasty, the northern desert became the world of the Mongols, and the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols faced each other up and down the "border wall" (the Great Wall) for more than 200 years, not including the "Later Jin".

In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang's army broke through Beijing, marking the official end of the Yuan Dynasty as a unified dynasty at that time. In the same year, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing and established the "Ming Dynasty". After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol forces basically retreated to the desert, but they had not yet given up the name of the "Yuan Dynasty", known as the "Northern Yuan" in history.

Therefore, the war against Mongolia during the Zhu Yuanzhang period was mainly to force the Mongols who fled back to the desert steppe to give up the name of "Dayuan" by force.

In 1369, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong to lead 80,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry to attack Kaiping, the capital of the "Northern Yuan". The expedition went well, because before the city was broken, Emperor Yuan Shun was forced to flee to Yingchang (present-day Chifeng, Inner Mongolia). It is said that Emperor Yuan Shun also composed a song to express his sadness at that time: "Most of the capital is lost, and there is no peace in winter; If you lose me, you can't survive the summer." The king of the dead country is miserable!

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang successively sent large armies north to conquer the Northern Yuan. In 1370, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Feng Sheng, and Tang He to lead an army and attack Mongolia in three ways. Among them, Li Wenzhong is the east road, entering the desert from Juyong Pass; Xu Da is the middle lane; Feng Sheng was the western route, mainly attacking the Mongols from the area west of the river. In this dispatch, Xu Da defeated Wang Baobao at Shen'eryukou and captured more than 1,800 Northern Yuan officials and more than 80,000 soldiers.

At this time, Emperor Yuan Shun died suddenly due to excessive grief, and his successors and clans fled to the ancient capital of Outer Mongolia in later generations, Hala and Lin.

From 1368 Yuan was conquered by the Ming army, in the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1370), Emperor Yuan Shun died in Yingchang, and the prince of the Yuan Dynasty succeeded to the throne, namely "Yuan Zhaozong". As a result, the Northern Yuan court retreated to Hara and Lin, and still used "Yuan" as the country name, so it was called "Northern Yuan" in history.

Of course, there are also people among later historians who call the "Northern Yuan" the "Remnant Yuan". The "Northern Yuan" regime still had Hala and Linzhi in Outer Mongolia as its capitals, and it was surviving.

In 1387, the Ming army conquered Hara and Lin and completely destroyed the city. After that, Hala and Lin were rebuilt several times, but due to the collapse of the Mongol divisions in the early 15th century, and the two Mongol nobles of Tatar and Warat attacked each other, the capital city of Hala and Lin gradually declined.

Nowadays, there is still a "Xingyuan Pavilion Tablet" in the Hala and Lin City Museum of Outer Mongolia, which was engraved in the second year of Yuan Huizong (1342 AD), which witnessed the rise and fall of the Mengyuan Empire, and of course also witnessed how the "Golden Family" in which they belonged went into decline step by step, after all, there is a way of heaven.

In 1372, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Feng Sheng to lead 50,000 cavalry each to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty in three ways. In this expedition, Xu Da's middle route army was besieged by Timur and He Zongzhe, and the army suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat. The west and east roads were victorious, but the gains were minimal. Therefore, after the army returned to the court, Zhu Yuanzhang "could not reward and punish", after all, this would easily cause the army's morale to waver, so it was better to suppress it.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that it was difficult for the forces of the Mongolian steppe to be completely pacified in a short period of time, so he changed the strategy of the desert steppe from offensive to defensive, and ordered the army to be stationed south of the Great Wall, stationed in the tun for a long time, built cities, and strengthened border defense. At this time, the Ming Dynasty began to rebuild the Great Wall.

However, in order to avoid the bad influence of the Qin and Han dynasties when they built the Great Wall, Zhu Yuanzhang renamed the "Great Wall" as "Border Wall" to avoid suspicion.

In 1382, the Ming Dynasty army had eliminated the power of the Liang King in Yunnan, so it began to compete with the "Northern Yuan" for the northeast region. In 1387, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, and Fu Youde led the Ming army to defeat Nahachu, who was guarding Liaoyang Province in the Yuan Dynasty, and forcibly incorporated the Liaodong region into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to further defeat the "remnant Yuan forces" in the northeast, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Lan Yu, Tang Shengzong, and Guo Ying to make a northern expedition to Mongolia in September of that year, and the army fought all the way to the "fishing sea" (Lake Baikal), killing more than 1,000 Northern Yuan officials. After that, the Northern Yuan Emperor was killed by his generals on the way to flee and Lin.

Since then, Mongolia has been divided for a long time. The new Mongol chieftain was no longer called "Emperor" but "Great Khan", and the title of "Yuan Dynasty" was abandoned by the Mongols. This marked the official demise of the "Northern Yuan regime" with the "Golden Family" as the supreme ruling group, and history began anew.
