The emperor knocked on the tea cup, attracting the attention of the Mongolian princes.
The wedding banquet has ended, and now the emperor and the princes are drinking tea. The Mongolian princes are half drunk, but the emperor is still sober. He is about to leave, but some things have to be arranged.
"In recent years, Tsarist Russia has continued to invade eastward, repeatedly rushing into the Mongolian tribes in northern Mobei to plunder, and becoming more and more arrogant. This must not be tolerated."
The emperor waved.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei, Ma Jixiang, fetched a map for the emperor, and the emperor unfolded it. The governor's offices and governor's offices in Mongolia in Moxi, Mobei, and Monan have all been clearly marked according to their demarcation, as have the Jurchen tribes in the east.
.
In the north of the Mobei grassland, there are several major rivers such as the Ob River, the Yenisey River, and the Lena River, as well as several important tributaries, the Lower Tunguska River, the Angara River, the Velyuyin River, the Vidim River, and the Aldan River.
etc. are clearly marked.
The upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River in the east include the Shilka River, the Ergun River, and the Selenge River.
The Chechen Khan and the other three Mobei Khans couldn't help but widen their eyes when they looked at the Bohaier Lake, Daxing'an Mountain, Altay Mountain, Hangai Mountain, etc. above.
They are too familiar with these, and they also have a map of Mobei in their hands, but they are not as good as the map of Da Mingzi.
I secretly compared it in my mind, and the more I compared it, the more I felt that the map of Saint Khan was more accurate and more detailed. Even the forest area to the north of the grassland was so clearly demarcated.
Tuxie Tuhan discovered that there were many city gates drawn on the banks of the big rivers in the north, and there were even numbers on them.
"This is?"
The emperor pointed to the city gate icons and told the princes that these were the strongholds and fortresses established by the Russian Cossacks after they crossed the Ural Mountains and destroyed the Siberian Khanate and marched eastward.
"Here, where the Ob River meets the Irtysh Khan, was originally the place where the Khanty and Mansi people lived. Tsarist Russia called them the Yugor people, taking a fancy to the important water and land transportation here.
The city of Khanty-Mansiysk was established here, and then the city of Surgut was established on the upper reaches of the Ob River, and the cities of Tobolsk and Tarasko were established on the upper reaches of the Irtysh River. These strongholds were
It was established more than fifty years ago."
The emperor pointed to the city gate icons and introduced the eastward route of the Tsarist Russian Cossats to these Mongolian princes.
Along several major rivers and their tributaries, we use river boats to continuously move eastward, which is roughly divided into two main routes. One is from Khanty-Mansiysk to Surgut on the Ob River, and then through its right bank tributary.
Entering the Yenisey River, they established Turukhansk, Inreshebaixin, Krasnoyarsk and other cities on the upper and lower reaches of the Yenisey River. These city gates were all built after 1600.
From Turukhansk, the castle on the lower reaches of the Yenisey River, to the east to Yakutsk on the Lena River, this castle was built in 1632 and became the center of the Far East, where the Warlord's Palace was set up.
In the upper reaches of the Yenisey River, they entered the Angara River, a tributary on the right bank, and established cities such as Rybinsk, Inrimsk, and Bratsk, leading all the way to the west bank of Lake Baikal.
Most of the strongholds on the Angara River were established after 1628.
From Yakutsk, you can go up the Lena River to the northwest of Lake Baikal, where they established Ust-Kut.
That is to say, in the past two or three years, in order to find a route that was easier to invade the Heilongjiang Plain, the Cossacks no longer went directly south from Yakutsk and crossed the Waixing'an Mountains into the Qili River Basin, a branch of Heilongjiang.
Instead, they crossed Lake Baikal from the west, established a new stronghold on the east side of the lake, passed through the Selenge River, etc., and entered the Onen River, the Shilka River, the Nerchinsk River, etc. in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang.
The Bargusimu Hotun (Barguzin) in the east of the lake was established the year before last, and it was also built on the bank of the Bargusimu River in the east of the lake.
Khabarov, a wealthy adventurer and businessman who was originally imprisoned in Yakutsk, was released from prison only by telling the new governor that he had mastered a route from the upper reaches into the Heilongjiang plain.
This guy did master a shorter route. He first recruited a group of Cossack mercenaries from Yakutsk, then went up the Lena River and entered the tributary Orokma River, all the way south, and finally
Crossed the Waixing'an Mountains, entered the upper reaches of the Nerchinsk River, and went down the river to the Shilka River in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River. At the mouth of the Nerchinsk River, after capturing Nerchinsk, a village of the Evenki people, it was renamed Nerchinsk.
, after resting for a while, they went down the river and entered the Yaksa area.
This route is shorter and faster than the original route that went around the southwest from the west of the lake to the east of the lake, and then went south along the Onen River upstream of Shilka.
The Lake Baikal area is a forest area.
During the period when Mongolia was still affiliated with the Jin Dynasty, the tribes on the grassland were actually divided into Mongolian and Turkic tribes. The Mongolian tribe and the Tatar tribe were all Mongol tribes, while the Kelei tribe, Naiman tribe, and Wangke tribe belonged to the Turkic tribe.
The area around Lake Baikal in the north is a forest area, bounded by the lake. To the west of the lake are the Huli Tuma tribe and the Brigati tribe, and to the east of the lake is the Balahu tribe.
Among them, the Tuma tribe and the Balahu tribe later moved south to Monan and evolved into the Tumote tribe and the Barhu tribe. Only the Bligati tribe stayed in the north, and later filled the gap left by the Tuma tribe.
, developed to span both sides of Lake Baikal, that is, Buryatia.
After the establishment of the Mongol Empire, Lake Baikal was also its traditional northern limit.
Later, the eldest sons such as Jochi and Batu continued their western expeditions, and the territory of the Mongol Empire expanded west of the Urals to the coast of the Arctic Ocean.
Therefore, all forest areas belong to the eldest son lineage.
After Kublai Khan established the Yuan Empire, due to the always friendly relationship between the Jochi clan and the younger son Tolei clan, the Lake Baikal area that originally belonged to the eldest son clan was also given to the Yuan Empire and became part of the Lingbei Province.
To the west of Lake Baikal and to the west of the Ural Mountains, they still belong to the eldest son lineage and established the Golden Horde, Blue Horde and White Horde.
Russia is an autonomous principality of the Golden Horde, including the northernmost Novgoro Kingdom. They were all loyal subjects of the Golden Horde.
Open up eastward, cross the Ural Mountains, and first destroy the Siberian Khanate.
Moving all the way east, from the 1930s to the present, it took them nearly twenty years to control the west of Lake Baikal and established Yinrkutsk.
The Buryats retreated to the east of the lake.
To the east of the original Buryat tribe was the Maoming'an tribe of Mongolia, which were part of the descendants of Hesar, the eldest brother of Genghis Khan. However, in the Later Jin Dynasty, they had already surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty and moved south to Monan.
Originally, the Lake Baikal area was actually not a good place. It was a bitter cold place in the far north. Only those who could not do well stayed here. Whenever there was an opportunity, they would move south.
Every time there is great turmoil in the grasslands, there will be great changes among the tribes, so some northern tribes will take the opportunity to go south.
For example, when Datin Khan established 60,000 households, there were twelve tribes in Khalkha, seven in the west and five in the east. Later, the five tribes in the east went all the way south, instead of staying in Mobei, they went to the western Liao River area.
, that's a good place to see the New Year sheep when the wind blows the grass.
The seven Khalkha tribes that stayed in Mobei gradually evolved into the three major Khalkha tribes today. They mostly occupied the grasslands of Mobei and had little idea of the forest area to the north.
In the early years, I had been chasing the Oirat to the west, driving them to the west of Altay. I really had no interest in the mountains and forests to the north.
It is precisely because of this that this gave the Russians an opportunity.
They ran around in the vast Siberia along the big rivers and small rivers, relying on the power of muskets and artillery to deal with the small indigenous tribes holding bows and arrows, plundering, taxing, plundering all the way eastward, and finally entered the Lake Baikal area.
Although the Buryat people speak Mongolian and have long been replaced by the Mongols, they are still accustomed to living in the forest.
In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli, the Russians invaded the Balabin Grassland. In the following decades, from the Tara area to the Irtysh River and the Yenisey River Basin, the Tsarist Russians encroached and devoured them again and again, and established in key areas.
Castle, and constantly sent envoys to various Mongolian ministries to lobby in an attempt to persuade them to submit to Russia. At the same time, they also collected intelligence from various Mongolian ministries and the Ming Dynasty. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the Russians established Yeniseisk, and in the first year of Chongzhen, another
After establishing Krasnoyarsk, there are two invasion directions, south and east.
The Oirat Mongolia and Khalkha Mongols heading south had a large population and were very hostile to Tsarist Russia. The two sides clashed many times, but the Tsarist Russians did not take much advantage. When their southward intentions were blocked, they turned east.
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Tsarist Russia established the Yakutsk Warlord's Office. Kesak conquered a large area around the Lena River, established Yinrkutsk to the west of Lake Baikal, built fortresses on all sides of the lake, and established a close relationship with Buryatia.
Conflicts between various Mongolian tribes continued.
The fierce conflict began in the fourth year of Chongzhen's reign. The fighting was inextricable and has not ended yet.
Historically, this war lasted for twenty-five years. In the end, the Buryat Mongolian tribes were conquered by the guns of the Tsarist Russians. However, some people chose to resist to the end. If they could not win, they moved south and surrendered to Khalkha. There were also other options.
He surrendered to the Qing army in Heilongjiang, and was eventually named the Barhu people, incorporated into the Eight Banners, and placed in the Hulunbuir area.
The three Khans of Mobei Khalkhas all reach the forest area in the north, so they are all neighbors to Buryatia, but the Khalkhas are not close to the Buryat Mongols.
They just did not allow Tsarist Russia to enter the Khalkha Desert Grassland. As for the war with the Buryat people in the Lake Baikal area, they did not care.
It turned out that it was east of Buryatia, that is, Shilka and the Onen River Basin east of the Greater Khingan Mountains, going east to the Ergun River, and bordering the territory of the Khalkha Chechen Khan in the south. This area was originally
The Maoming'an tribe was nomadic, but after they surrendered and Jinnan moved to better grasslands, the place became empty.
Buryatia was once considered a branch of the Oara. After the Oara were driven to the west, the Buryat people still believed in primitive shamanism, which was very different from the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism in Khalkha.
And not all the people around Lake Baikal are Buryats. For example, the Bargusimu settlement established by Tsarist Russia in the east of the lake. The people living in the Barguzin Mountains and Gurguzin River area are the Barhu people, also known as the Barguzin people.
Bayegu is an ancient tribe that existed as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Baerhu is one of the bravest warriors. He has been conquering east and west for Mongolia. Therefore, Baerhu tribe members are now scattered among various tribes in Mobei, Moxi, and Monan, even among the Jurchens.
Not many people stayed in their hometown. As a result, Tsarist Russia now established a stronghold there. The free and brave Barhu people have been fighting the Tsarist Russians for more than ten years.
"Now the Tsarist Russians are building strongholds and looting everywhere around Lake Baikal. The Buryat Mongols are also Mongolians. I am the Great Khan of the Mongols, the co-leader of all ministries, and the Son of Heaven. How can I just sit back and watch?"
"I will leave behind 3,000 elite soldiers from the royal camp, and provide them with guns, cannons, ammunition, etc. The three Khans of Khalkha and the thirty-six governor's offices under the three governor's offices will send 200 troops to each governor's office, for a total of 10,000 Han and Mongolian troops.
Two hundred people,"
Zhu Yihai's finger landed on the southeastern part of Lake Baikal on the map, which was on the banks of the Selenga River. Tsarist Russia had already established a temporary stronghold there. Although it had not yet built a permanent fort, it was already on their plan to conquer the southeastern part of the lake.
After the Buryats invaded the Selengesk River, they were recruited to help build the city of Selengesk as a central stronghold to control this place, and even as a base camp for the southward invasion of Khalkha and the Onen River in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang.
The Selenge River flows into the southeast of Lake Baikal. Its upper reaches, the Hala River, originates from the Khan Mountain of Kulen, the Khan Ting of Tushetu Khan, in the east. Its upper reaches, the Idel River, originates from the Khan Tinghangai of Zasak Khan
At the foot of the mountain.
The Selenge River is a very important river in Mobei. It has many tributaries, connects the east and west, and finally flows into Lake Baikal.
"Set up a camp to the north of the town. With the help of Wang Zhiren left behind, he will bear the seal of the general of the north of the town. He will lead the 10,000 Han and Mongolian elites. They will first mow down the Tsarist Russian invaders along the Selenge River, remove their strongholds, annihilate all the invaders, and rescue them.
To appease Buryat Mongolia."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the name of crusade against the Tsarist Russian invaders, Zhu Yihai proposed to set up a Zhenbei camp and send a secondary assistant to take command of the troops.
After seizing the Selenge River, the Ming Dynasty border fortress was established at the intersection of the Ud and Seleng rivers where the former leader of the Buryat tribe was located, Udeboxin, where troops were garrisoned and post roads and trading towns were established.
"First capture Udeboxing, then recover Bargujin in the north, rescue the Barhu tribe, set up Barhu City, and garrison troops.
Then we captured Yinrkutsk, where the Angara River, the Ergou River, and the Kuda River meet in the southwest of Lake Baikal, and built Baierhai City, garrisoned troops, and set up post stations and border markets. "
In order to make the three Khans of Khalkha willing to send troops, Zhu Yihai also offered some benefits. For example, after defeating Tsarist Russia and taking back these places, he would also set up governor's offices for Buryatia and Bahuer in the east and west of Lake Baikal.
The Khan took charge of it, and from now on all ministries would pay tribute and taxes to the three Khans.
He directly proposed that in the future, Buryatia should be divided into two parts, the east and the west, and Dahuer would form one part, each with two governor's offices. Among them, the east part of Buryatia would be moved to the Shilka River area of the Onon River east of the Greater Khingan Mountains.
, reaching the Ergun River in the east, and was managed by the Chechen Khan.
The Siburyat people live in the areas west of Lake Bell, the upper reaches of the Angara River and the Lena River, which are all assigned to them and managed by Zasaktu Khan.
The Barhu tribe lives east of Lake Baikal and reaches the Greater Khingan Mountains (Yablonov Mountains), and is managed by Tushetu Khan.
The Ming Dynasty's Zhenbei camp set up Beihai Fort in the southwest of the lake, Selenge Fort in the southeast of the lake, Kyaktu City on the border with Tushetu Khan, and Nikchu City in Nikochu.
The Ming Dynasty established a total of five castles to garrison and serve as border markets.
The imperial court guarded these five points, and the newly established six governor's offices of the left and right Buryat and Babahu tribes were assigned to the three Khans of Khalkha, who had the power to collect taxes and so on.
Therefore, Khalkha sent troops and fought with the imperial court to expand its map.
No Buryat Mongols were present, and no people from the Balhu tribe were present, but the emperor decided their fate with the three Khalkha tribes at Mulan Paddock, far away from Lake Baikal.
This area was also officially included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and was established as Beihai Province.
