In Zagucheng, the Jiebos of the eight tribes of Jiarong (the chieftain is called "Jiebo" in Tibetan, which means "king, ruler") are holding a banquet.
"Jiarong" means the area around the Jiamo Mordo Holy Mountain. It includes the Changhe Xiyutong Ningyuan Xuanwei Division under the jurisdiction of Duogandu Division of the Ming Dynasty, and the land of Dongbu Han Hu Xuanwei Division and the Second Division. It has been Tibet since ancient times. Portal.
There is a famous Kangding love song in later generations, which came from this area.
The eight Jiarong tribes refer to: the Four Tubu tribes (Suomo, Zhuo Keji, Songgang, and Dangba four chieftains), the Dajin tribe (Chuosijia, Zhongzhen, Badi, Bawang, and Dandong), and the Xiaojin tribe The tribes (Zanla, Wori, Muping), Laisu tribe, Zagu tribe, Wasi tribe, Wa tribe (Yutong, Lengbian, Shenbian), Muya tribe (the area under the jurisdiction of the Mingzheng chieftain of the later Ming Dynasty Dingding).
Among them, the four soil tribes, the Dajin tribe and the Xiaojin tribe, are also called the Jiarong tribe; the Laisu tribe, the Zagu tribe, the Wasi tribe, the Wa tribe and the Muya tribe are also called the Jiarongchong tribe.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Sangjipeng, the Zagu chieftain, clapped his hands a few times, and a row of Jiarong girls wearing pointed little red hats, black and red cross-patterned woolen skirts, waist-length shorts with small sleeves, and square velvet shawls served them. I ordered a large plate of beef and mutton and a large pot of highland barley wine.
These beautiful girls wear two strings of rosary beads on their white and delicate necks, and wear a two-inch-wide turtle ring on their jade-like right wrists. This ring is unusual and must be worn since childhood. It can make people die after death. The soul is not lost.
"Dear friends, please join us!"
Sang Jiepeng raised the wine bowl. He has a bold personality and likes to use a bowl when drinking.
"Dear Sangjie Pengjiebo, please!"
Muping chieftain Jiancannanha, Wasi chieftain Qu Yishen, Badi chieftain Chuobu Muleng, Chuosijia chieftain Zili, Dantonggeshiza chieftain Wei Zhubucering, Yutong chieftain Danhenzhakba Waiting for dozens of toasts, big and small, to raise their wine bowls together.
Bu'er Jixi, the chieftain of Zanla (Xiaojinchuan), asked: "Sangjie Pengjiebo, you invited us here, aren't you just here to drink, listen to songs, and watch singing and dancing?"
Among the eight tribes of Jiarong, Bu'er Jixi owns the land of Zanla (Xiao Jinchuan) and Zhongba (Dajinchuan). He has tens of thousands of people and seven thousand armored men. He is a powerful sect. If he has strength, he will naturally Dare to speak.
Sang Jiepeng smiled slightly. He was the strongest among the eight Jiarong tribes. Not only did the Zagu headquarters have more than 10,000 households and 7,000 armored men, but he also controlled the four Tu tribes (Suo Mo, Zhuo Keji, Songgang, Dangba) has more than 10,000 households and a total force of 14,000 people.
"I invite you here today mainly to discuss two things: first, to discuss how to deal with Tulu Baihu (Gushi Khan)'s invasion of our snow area; second, to discuss how to restore the tea-horse trade." .
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Gushi Khan, the leader of the Oirat Mongolian Heshuote tribe who occupied Qinghai, extended his power into Tibet at the invitation of the fifth Dalai Lama. He eliminated the former overlord Baili Tusi of the Jiarong Eight Tribes and took control of Jinsha. The vast Kham area in the middle and upper reaches of the Yalong River and Dadu River.
When mentioning the toasts of Gushihan and Jiarongbabu, the leaders were filled with hatred.
"Tulu Baihu (Gushi Khan) killed Zangba Khan of the Karma Kagyu Sect (Bai Sect) and took control of Lhasa. What a wolfish ambition!"
"This guy is forcing us to give up the Bon religion (the black religion, the original witchcraft religion in the snowy area) and believe in the Gelug religion (the yellow religion). This is trying to destroy Jiarong!"
"This guy is a dog raised by He Huang in the Qing Dynasty. He must be killed."
When Sang Jiepeng saw how angry everyone was, he was secretly happy.
Since Baili Tusi was eliminated by Gushi Khan, Sang Jiepeng's ambitions have grown. He wants to replace Baili Tusi and become the leader of the Eight Tribes of Jiarong?.
He winked at his two younger brothers: Qu Yishen, the chieftain of Wasi, and Babitai, the chieftain of Wori.
These two are both small chieftains. Qu Yishen has 1,200 households and 800 sergeants; Babitai has more than 700 households and 500 sergeants. They always follow the lead of the Zagu tribe. What about the boss?
Tell them what to do.
Qu Yishen yelled: "If the wild geese want to fly far, they must have a leader. The reason why our Jiarong Eight Tribes are bullied is because we did not elect a wise leader and we are scattered."
Babitai shouted: "I think Sangjie, Pengjiebo, is brave and resourceful. God has given us the leading geese of the Jiarong people!"
As soon as they expressed their stance, a group of chieftains including Suomo Chieftain Nangsuosajiaba, Chuosjia Chieftain Zili, Dantonggeshizan Chieftain Wei Zhubu Celing and other chieftains came one after another. The leader shouted in support. p>
Sang Jiepeng didn't look at anyone else, his eyes were fixed on Muping Tusi (namely Dong Buhan and Hu Xuanweisi), who was strong in Nanha, and Yutong Tusi Danhanzakba.
The number of citizens of these two families is similar to that of Sang Jiepeng, but their troops are not as powerful as Sang Jiepeng's Zagu tribe.
The Muping tribe in Nanha has many people but is not good at fighting. They believe in following the strong.
He thought for a moment, walked up to Sang Jiepeng, held up his right hand, and shouted: "Sang Jiepeng! Jiebo of the Jiarong people!"
There was cheering everywhere.
Danhan Zakba was secretly annoyed that his ancestor was the first to submit to the Ming Dynasty and was named the Ming Zheng Xuan Comfort Envoy and the Changhe Xiyu Tong Ning Yuan Military and People Xuan Comfort Envoy. Ordinarily, he should be the leader of the Jiarong Eight Tribes. But no.
The solution is that the Mingzheng soldiers are not as strong as the Zagu soldiers, so just endure it for now.
Sang Jiepeng got his wish and became the leader of the Jiarong people.
The first major thing he did after becoming the leader was to discuss the restoration of the tea-horse trade.
In order to better control the Duduogandusi, Uszangdusi, and the Orisi Military and Civilian Marshal's Mansion, the two departments and one government in Tibet, the Ming Dynasty conducted tea and horse trade with the Tibetan people on the border.
Eight tea and horse divisions were established: Qinzhou, Hezhou, Xining, Taozhou, Ganzhou, Yazhou, Diaomen, and Yongning.
The establishment of the Badabian Market prospered the commerce in the Han and Tibetan areas, strengthened the ties between the two sides, and increased national tax revenue. This was a great thing, and it lasted two hundred years since its opening.
Unfortunately, the Qing army came over and burned, killed and looted.
Qinzhou, Hezhou, Xining, Taozhou, and Ganzhou were occupied by the Qing Dynasty; Yazhou almost became a no-man's land; the tea and horse companies in Diaomen and Yongning also stopped.
There is a shortage of fruits and vegetables in the snowy area. Tea is an important anti-greasy product. How can we do without tea?
In the past, Jiarong Babu was located on the Tea Horse Road and was very prosperous. Now the Tea Horse Market has stopped and Babu has also declined.
"Since everyone recommends me as the leader, I want to resume the tea and horse trade with the Ming Dynasty. What do you think?"
"Big Chief, the business relationship with the Ming Dynasty has been severed. We have sent people to contact the officials of the Ming Dynasty many times, but it is of no use!"
Sang Jiepeng laughed loudly: "If you can't do it with letters, you can do it with force. Each tribe gathered people and horses, and followed their leaders to the Ming Dynasty to grab a handful. After grabbing it, I will report it to their emperor. It's unreasonable. In the border market, the Wujiarong people couldn't survive, so they robbed them. This will happen!"
All the chieftains were shocked: "My chief, although the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Qing Dynasty, it is still a big country. I heard that their supervisor, King Jing, was very heroic. If you rush to plunder the land of the Ming Dynasty, you may cause trouble!"< /p>
Sanzipeng said confidently: "Now the Ming Dynasty is at war with the Qing Dynasty. The Qing army has entered Baoning, Sichuan, and Shadingzhou is causing trouble in Yunnan. They have no strength or courage to offend the Wujiarong people. I predict that they will rob Yazhou after all. , after Diaomen and Yongning, not only will they not retaliate, but they will reopen the border market to appease us."
Danhanzhaba asked: "Great leader, why don't you trade with the Qing Dynasty?"
Sang Jiepeng said angrily: "You think I don't want to? I sent an envoy to the Qing Dynasty, but they were rejected. Tulu Baihu (Gushi Khan) put pressure on the Qing Dynasty. In order to win over the Oirat Mongolia (Gushi Khan), the Qing Dynasty The Heshuote tribe (the leader of the Oirat Mongolian alliance) not only rejected my request, but also refused to recognize the position of pacifier awarded to my ancestors by the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty even asked me to surrender to Lhasa. Bah, what a dream! Son of Bon religion People, we will never submit to the yellow religion!"
All the chieftains were indignant when they heard this: "We must kill Tulu Baihu to avenge Chieftain Baili!"
Sang Jiepeng waved his hand and stopped the noise.
"Grudges must be avenged. But if Chamabian City is not reopened, my Jiarong Babu will not be able to prosper. Do you dare to go to the Ming Dynasty with me?"
"We are willing to obey the orders of the great leader and be crushed to pieces without hesitation!"
Sang Jiepeng laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! This is my Jiarong warrior. Come on, sing happily to cheer up everyone!"
A Jiarong young man and a girl walked to the center of the banquet hall and sang a Jiarong toast song.
"Ala Ginger yo Alag Mo Ginger, Ara Ginger yo Alag Mo Ginger yo Ginger, oh Alag Mo Ginger yo Ginger??" (Please drink this glass of wine??)
