In March of the sixth year of Shaotian's reign, the emperor patrolled the west, stationed at Zhijiming Post, and ordered the establishment of Jiming Town.
Then he went north to inspect Xuanhua and Zhangjiakou Fort, and Zhangjiakou was renamed Zhangyuan Town.
The emperor visited Wucheng, and the leaders of various Mongolian tribes came to pay tribute.
Tengjisi Tengjite took his brothers and nephews, drove cattle and sheep, and carried furs to Zhangjiakou. Zhu Yihai stood on the city wall and saw the smoke and dust in the sky, as well as countless people and horses. He almost thought that the Tengjisi brothers had rebelled again.
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty went out to defend outside the Great Wall early, and established Huaihuang Tun Town outside Zhangjiakou. The villages were stationed, cultivated and guarded, and a fortress Huaihuang Fort was built. The location was in Zhangbei in later generations, and there was also the Huaihuang Fort next to it.
Huaihuangyi and Huaihuang Tucheng are adjacent to Zhangku Avenue which is under construction.
Most of the troops here now have a military nature. The elite imperial battalions are stationed in the bastions. The post cities also have posts, and the post soldiers are also paramilitary personnel. The forts are border guards, and there are provincial patrol camps, as well as newly relocated
The people in the villages also organized Baojia and militia.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, six towns were set up outside the Pass. Now the Ming Dynasty has successively established new military towns such as Yuyi, Huaihuang, Rouxuan, Fuming, Huaishuo and Wuchuan along the Great Wall as the core support outside the Pass.
Outside the Great Wall with these military towns as the core, there are half-cultivated and half-grazed areas, filled with soldiers, quasi-soldiers and armed immigrants.
Further north, there are the Taipusi Ranch, the Royal Ranch, the Donggong Ranch, the Ministry of War Horse Farm, etc. established by the imperial court. In the mountains to the east, there are also the Royal Mulan Hunting Ground and Summer Manor.
These areas are mainly used for grazing, and they are also the forefront of direct jurisdiction. Pastures are the boundaries. Further north, there are some scattered Mongolian herders who have been recruited. They are directly organized into households and the pastures are divided here for them to graze. They are related to Sunit
of buffering.
To the north were the eight divisions on the two wings of Sunit. The imperial court assigned them two protective palaces, with Sunit's left wing as the Huade Protectorate and the right wing as the Kangbao Protectorate.
The Tengjisi brothers came for pilgrimage, and also came to pay tribute and trade.
"Since the fifth year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty reached a tribute agreement with the Mongolian Ada Khan and began to open a tea and horse trading market in Zhangjiakou and other places. Zhangjiakou has become the largest trading place along the Great Wall. In the 41st year of Wanli, the imperial court was at the foot of the Great Wall again.
Laiyuanbao was built specifically to carry out trade between Mongolia and Han. From then on, thousands of Mongolian herdsmen drove cattle, horses and alpacas from the grasslands to Zhangjiakou for trade. This has since become the largest fur distribution center in the north, and has even gained popularity among the people.
The title of Pi City.
This is also an important tea distribution center in the north."
Wen Anzhi looked at the countless herdsmen without any panic at all. He knew very well that these herdsmen were able to come over and they had all gone through the previous inspections.
Many Han people who went out for customs trade also used to call this place the east entrance.
When people leave the customs, they mostly pass through the two Great Wall Passes of Datong and Zhangjiakou in Xuanhua. Therefore, people are accustomed to calling Shahukou the west entrance and Zhangjiakou the east entrance. Nowadays, a large number of immigrants go north to colonize the country, or trade out of the customs. The rise of
The craze of taking the west exit and the east exit.
Standing on the Dajingmen Gate Tower in Zhangjiakou, Zhu Yihai can more intuitively feel the importance of this place.
To the north is the Bashang Grassland on the southern edge of the Mongolian Plateau. It is really like a huge dam blocking the way, looking down at the Xuanfu.
The Central Plains built the Great Wall along the mountains on the southern edge of the plateau. There is a natural pass where the Great Wall reaches Zhangjiakou.
In the Ming Dynasty, the key points of the national defense strategy were the Nine Borders, and Xuanfu Datong was the first of the Nine Borders.
Dushi, the two members of the Zhang family are also the backbone of the Xuanfu; the Xuanfu is the backbone of the capital.
The mouth of Zhangjiakou refers to the natural water mouth that passed through when the Great Wall was built. The Ningchuan water is the natural water mouth formed after the Qingshui River leaves the Chongli Mountains and between the east and west Taiping Mountains where the Great Wall passes through at the northern end of Zhangjiakou.
This natural waterway cannot be blocked and can only be guarded by troops. When the troops were first stationed, there was a family named Zhang living nearby, so they named it Zhangjiakou as usual.
"Beyond the Zhangjiakou Great Wall are Foye Mountain and Dama Mountains, and Zhangjiakou guards natural waterways. The dangerous pass between the Taiping Ridge on the left and the Taiping Ridge on the right becomes the first step from the Mongolian Plateau into the capital. This place is truly unique."
Compared with Dushikou in the east, here are the Zhangjiakou, Huailai, Tingqing and other basins. Along the Yanghe River and Sanggan River, you can directly reach the Yongguan Pass. If you can break through the pass, you can go straight to Beijing and the Yanzhao Plain.
Unobstructed view, no obstructions.
However, precisely because of this, there is a continuous Great Wall defense here, which makes this home not only an important military defense area, but also an important place for transportation and trade.
The Qingshui River passes through the water mouth between the East and West Taiping Mountains, passes through Zhangjiakou City, and flows all the way to the southwest, creating this geomantic treasure.
There are mountains, rivers, basins and plains, and it’s just a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River.
The Yinshan Mountains have become a natural boundary here. The inside and outside of the Great Wall are the upper and lower dams, two completely different geographical units.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the population here was insufficient, and the imperial court recruited Yu Ding from the Shanxi Guard Station to settle down and farm. But now, after being ravaged by the Tatars, it is still recovering rapidly.
As an important foreign trade port, its self-healing ability is amazing.
Mongolian tribes such as Teng Jisi came to trade again and again, and many adventurous Han merchants brought goods out of the customs, which also made this place change with each passing day.
"Tell Teng Jisi that it's been a long journey, so he needs to rest outside the customs for now. I'll summon him again tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, Teng Jisi is very ambitious, so you must be careful."
Although the imperial court greatly rewarded the Sunit tribe who were the first to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, it did not completely trust them.
"Ma Qing, have brothers Tengjisi been restless lately?" Zhu Yihai asked Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
"Returning to your majesty, Tengjisi has become very powerful since he was granted a title by your majesty and moved them inland to the dam. Under the banner of fighting rebellion for the imperial court, they attacked other Mongolian tribes in various places, such as Genghis Khan's same father.
The Abaga tribe, the descendant of his mother's brother Beligutai, was attacked many times by them, and many livestock, cattle, sheep and people were taken away. In addition, the Keshiketeng tribe, the Wengniute tribe, the Sizi tribe, etc. were all attacked by him.
Plunder.

He always advertises everywhere that he is the sixth generation grandson of the Mongol hero Dayan Khan, and he wants to restore his ancestors.
Glory.”
Zhu Yihai just laughed after hearing this.
Lindan Khan, the last great Khan of Mongolia, was the seventh generation grandson of Dayan Khan, so Tengjisi can be regarded as Lindan Khan's uncle in terms of seniority.
However, when Dayan Khan revitalized Mongolia and unified the various tribes, he sent his descendants to serve as leaders of each tribe. Therefore, except for the Kalaqin tribe, the leaders of the Mongolian tribes in southern and northern Mongolia were all descendants of Dayan Khan.
He smiled and pointed at the cattle and sheep herders outside the pass, "I heard that the origin of the word Sunit means curiosity? It is said that this tribe used to be nomadic in the south of Lake Baikal. They are very curious and good at hunting for novelties?"
"How curious are you?" Wang Zhiren was also curious.
Chief Assistant Wen Anzhi said, "According to the secret history of Mongolia, Genghis Khan once divided the entire Mongolian Khanate into the east and west wings, and divided the population into households of ten, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand according to their military strength, and divided them into ninety-five thousand households in total.
Ninety-five meritorious generals were awarded territorial titles for their contribution to the unification of Mongolia. Among them, the leader of Sunit, Grugenbaatar, ranked fifth. Sunit used to have a high status.
Later, the tribe moved south to the area north of Zhangjiakou, which was one of the eight Otuoke tribes in Chahar. During the period of Lin Dan Khan, 30,000 households in the west rebelled, and Horqin and Karaqin in the east surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. When Lin Dan Khan conquered 30,000 households in the west,
The four tribes of Ujumqin, Haoqite, Sunit, and Abaga of the Chahar tribe moved northward and separated from Chahar.
When Sunit moved to Hanggai, it was divided into left and right wings. Tabahaidarhan and Shuoqi, the son of Baoerhai Chuhuer, led the Sunit left banner, and Chaoerhongtaiji, the son of Baoyin, led the Sunit right banner.
.
Brothers Teng Jisi are the sons of Taba Haidarhan and Shuo Qi.
After the death of Lin Dan Khan, his wife and son surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the entire Chahar came under the control of the Qing Dynasty. Soon the Sunit Left Banner also took the initiative to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. The Manchu Qing built the Sunit Left Banner and implemented the royal banner system. The Tatars were granted the title of Tengji.
He wanted to be the king of Zasakdoluo County, married a princess, granted him the title of Heshuo Fu, and also issued an edict that his title would be hereditary.
Later, the right wing also surrendered. Teng Jisi's cousin Sosai was named Baturjinong. After joining, he was granted the title of Prince of Zasak Doroduleng County. He was also hereditary and took charge of the right wing.
Although they are both descendants of the sixth generation of Dayan Khan, Teng Jisi was more ambitious, so he rebelled against the Qing court very early and moved north to Mobeitou Khalkha to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. Later, he even supported the Ming Dynasty and joined the Ming Dynasty.
Resisting the Qing Dynasty. His cousin had no such ambition and stayed where he was. After Jierhalang fled north without fighting, he also moved north.
Historically, during the first battle of the Qing Dynasty in Shunzhi, the Tengjisi brothers rebelled against the north and led the Khalkha Allied Forces to the south. As a result, Dorgon sent his brother Duduo to lead an army to the north for conquest. Not only was the Khalkha Allied Forces defeated,
Teng Jisi was even worse. Several of his nephews were beheaded, and his troops were defeated.
Chechen Khan Shuolei sent his four sons and thirty thousand troops south to seek revenge from the Qing army, but was defeated again and was chased all the way to the Selenge River by the Qing army. He hid outside for a year and was unable to defeat him, so he had to
He begged for mercy and surrender, and the Qing government accepted it, but soon after, Dorgon found an opportunity to send troops to teach the Chechen Khan, who was unwilling to sincerely surrender.
However, in this time and space, the Tatars not only failed to conquer the Central Plains in one battle, but were overwhelmed by Zhu Yihai's continuous northern expedition, and even fled north in panic, leaving no time to teach Sunit's left side and the Mongolians in the northern Khalkha desert.
On the contrary, the strength of Sunit's left wing has continued to increase. Now it is using the tiger skin of the Ming Dynasty to attack other tribes everywhere, greatly increasing its strength.
Even many people from the Sunit Right Banner came to seek refuge with him.
"Tengjisi is very ambitious. Now he has moved inland to the north of Huaihuang. With the convenience of tribute trade, the strength of the Sunit tribe has indeed increased rapidly, and it is already a hegemon."
"Abaga Tribe, Sizi Tribe, Keshiketeng Tribe, Wengniute Tribe, Maoming'an Tribe, etc. must be very angry when Sunit plunders and attacks them like this." Zhu Yihai looked at the dusty sky to the north, "Sent people
We will send envoys to these tribes to recruit and persuade them to surrender. As long as they are willing to surrender, the imperial court will forget about it, settle them properly, and allocate pastures for them.
Moreover, as long as they surrender to me, the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court will not only grant them titles and official positions, demarcate pasture boundaries for them, but will also protect them from the plunder of Sunit and others, and will also allow them to trade with each other."
Wang Zhiren thought it would be better to let them eat dog.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Teng Jisi cleanse all the vacillating Monan tribes?"
Zhu Yihai replied, "It's almost time. It's time to take action. If Teng Jisi continues to grab it like this, his family will be the only one in power. At the end of the day, it will be a big problem and we have to guard against it."
"Tomorrow I will warn Brother Tengjisi not to attack other tribes under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, nor to cross the border between the two Sunit Protectorate. By the way, let Sunit send some more women from tribal princes for marriage, and send some more
My disciples are here to guard you."
He smiled and said to Wang Zhiren, "Everyone of you, dear friends, will take home a daughter of Prince Sunit to be your concubine. This will be my reward."
"You can also adopt a young maid in your family as your adopted daughter, and then the court will arrange a marriage with the Sunit people."
Wen Anzhi is not opposed to this marriage. The emperor is now playing the marriage card very fiercely. He has made marriages with all the princes and leaders of the Mongolian and Jurchen tribes. He also recruits Mongolian women, and also recruits some maids and maids who volunteer to get married.
, and even the princes and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were married to him.
They also recruited a large number of tribal children to study in the Imperial College in Beijing and serve as guards in the Forbidden Army. This was also a proton tactic.
"I suggest that you send someone to pacify the Soucai on the right side of Sunit. After pacifying them, move them back to the south. At that time, Sunit's current two governors will be changed into three or four governors.
Reorganize the two Sunit divisions, or put some troops on the left wing under the command of Sosai, which can not only divide the Sunit division, but also weaken the population and strength of the Tengjisi brothers."
Now among the tribes under the command of brother Tengjisi, there are already many people from Sosai Right Banner. To recruit Sosai to go south, the existing Sunit territory will be divided between three brothers, or even four brothers, and two brothers.
If the share is divided into three or four parts, some of the population must be allocated to the old people, which will inevitably weaken the power of Teng Jisi.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It would be better if the brothers of their clan could turn against each other or even fight among themselves. The court acts as a referee and can combine the weak and separate the strong to create a balance on the side.
, so that no one can be stronger.
This has always been the favorite method of the Central Plains dynasties to play against nomadic tribes. Historically, although the Sui Dynasty knew their fate, it was the most successful in playing this method on the grasslands. The powerful Turks were beaten into pieces by the Sui Dynasty's method.
The East and West Turks split, and even the Five Khans and Seven Khans fought against each other.
Zhu Dadian interjected from the side.
"Your Majesty, I have another idea. After appeasing Sousei, I might as well split and reorganize the current Sunit into three parts, and then use Tengjisi to live here, and separate Sousei and Tengjite into two separate parts.
To divide the land into enfeoffments, it is best to allocate them to places such as the north of Daqingshan in Guihua City or the Chifeng side of Weichang.
At that time, the Sosai tribe moved to the north of Daqing Mountain to set up a separate Dufufu, and then the Sizi tribe, Maoming'an tribe, Wulate tribe and other newly recruited tribes there were merged into their Duhufu, and each set up a Dudufu.
Tengjite set up a new Dudufu in the east, and moved the Keshiketeng, Wengniute and other flags under his Dufufu, and established a new Dudufu."
Zhu Yihai thought about it carefully and realized that this was a good suggestion. Divide Sunit into three parts and separate them far apart, which would weaken them even more. On the surface, they would absorb other tribes to form the Protectorate, and Teng
The three Jite brothers are all guardians, but each tribe still demarcates and sets up a governor's office, has its own territory, and still manages the affairs of its own tribal people.
Their Protectorate's Palace is no longer pure. The three Sunit Protectorate's Palaces that have become more complex and far apart from each other are actually less of a threat.
Zhu Yihai had to admire these ministers, they were really playing tricks, they all had eight hundred tricks, they were all exquisite.
Think about the Sunit people who are driving cattle and sheep outside the mouth and are still busy setting up tents to feed the cattle and sheep. They are probably just thinking about how these cattle, sheep, camels, and these fur butter can come from Zhangjiakou this time.
How many silk tea bricks and tobacco iron pots can be exchanged?
