Chapter 282: Inside and Outside the Palace (5) The King and His Ministers Think Differently
Gao Pragmatic can confirm that Burihatu "definitely knows how to do a lot of work" through this analysis, but after all, he is not really good at predicting things. I really can't understand why Burihatu would choose to continue Kou Bian Daming in the first step.
.
From Gao Pragmatic's point of view, Burihatu's move may have failed to distinguish between primary and secondary conflicts. Putting himself in Gao's shoes, if Gao was now Burihatu, he felt that the first thing he should consider is establishing hegemony in Central Asia.
, then we must use various means to integrate the forces of Central Asia, and finally consider whether to go back to the Ming Dynasty for revenge.
In other words, going back to seek revenge against Daming should be regarded as the "ultimate goal" to a large extent, and should not be the number one goal, or the primary goal.
This kind of consideration has a basis in reality, and it is also a strategic thinking that has been proven to be very successful countless times. If we want to summarize it, it is the strategy of "first weak, then strong". That is, "hit the weakest security team first, and then hit the stronger ones."
The stronger Central Army will eventually defeat the strongest Gui Army."
Gao Pragmatic believes that Anda Khan only sent all Huang Taiji's troops to conquer the Oara all the way to the west. After that, the Oara was not unified and was still in a state of melee among various tribes. So even if ten years have passed, the Oara is still there now.
It shouldn't be any better than it was back then.
Although Chahar was slightly inferior to Tumut in terms of strength, he was defeated by himself a few years ago and even lost his hometown. However, because Burihatu had already anticipated the Ming Dynasty's use of troops at that time, he had already made up his mind in advance.
He ran away, so although Chahar was injured in the battle against Yuan Dynasty, his spine was not broken after all.
From this, Chahar defeated Yarkand and re-emerged in the Western Regions. After they occupied and conquered Yarkant, their lost strength must have been greatly replenished.
It’s difficult to say the specific extent of this supplement, because Gao Pragmatic doesn’t know how Burihatu quelled the sectarian struggle within Yarkant. In fact, the biggest reason for the decline of Yarkant is probably the sectarian struggle. The two parties in the struggle are called
White Mountain Sect and Black Mountain Sect.
These two names sound a bit like martial arts sects, but they have nothing to do with martial arts, but are a typical "heretics are more worthy of death than heretics" problem.
The White Mountain Sect and the Black Mountain Sect were originally of the same race, sect, and religion, but due to their different sects and differences in viewpoints, they have been in a state of opposition for a long time. The two sects began to compete for religious rights and gradually turned into a political struggle. The long-term oppositional struggle led to their
The descendants of Hezhuo continued to launch rebellions, which was one of the main reasons for the continuous war and long-term unrest in the local area, and directed many tragic tragedies.
The Yarkand Khanate was originally a political power established in 1514 (the ninth year of Zhengde) by Said Khan, a descendant of Eastern Chagatai, with Yarkand (today's Yarkand, Xinjiang) as the center. Within the Yarkand Khanate, the state religion
A certain sect with a high status developed rapidly, and two opposing sects, the White Mountain Sect and the Black Mountain Sect, emerged within it. The two sects split due to political power struggles and engaged in a bloody struggle that lasted for decades.
The founders of the White Mountain Sect and the Black Mountain Sect are descendants of Mahitumu Azamuhezhuo, the leader of the Nahesi Bandiya sect from Central Asia. In the beginning, the two sects were only created as political forces.
.
The rise of Mahitumu Azamu and his Hezhuo family had a great impact on the political structure of the Yarkand Khanate. As the struggle between the two factions continued to intensify, the relationship between politics and religion in the Yarkand Khanate also showed signs of
Come up with new features.
At first, the rulers of the Yarkand Khanate needed to take advantage of the special role of the government to maintain and consolidate their dominance. As the power of the government increased, the secular regime was gradually controlled by the government.
The final result is obvious. Due to the extreme expansion of political power, sectarian and Zhuo forces replaced the secular rulers of the Yarkand Khanate and established a political and political regime.
Without the flapping of high pragmatic little wings, Chahar would not have moved westward to Yarkand, so the Yarkand Khanate should have been able to exist for 166 years, and it would not have been conquered and destroyed by the Junggars in 1680.
During this period, the power of local sects has been concentrated in the hands of the Eshdin Kho family. Their family has been controlling various religious affairs in the Khan due to their meritorious service in persuading Tuhelu Timur Khan to convert to a certain religion.
Of course, the power of the Shiding family will also develop rapidly.
After the death of Mahitumu Azamu, his sons divided their families due to the competition for the succession of the leader. Among them, the struggle between the eldest son Yishan Kalang and the youngest son Yinshak was particularly prominent, which became the basis for the later confrontation between the White Mountain Faction and the Black Mountain Faction.
origin.
After they entered the Yarkand region, in order to recruit more disciples and expand their influence, the conflict between the two sides continued to deepen and gradually evolved into a bloody life-and-death struggle.
The Nahesi Bandiya sect was divided into two factions. One faction was headed by Yinshakhe Zhuo, and mainly used the Yarkand region as the missionary center. It was called Yinshakye, or the Black Mountain sect.
The other sect, headed by Mohammad Yusuf, the son of Yishan Kalang, mainly used Kashgar as the missionary center and was called the Insaniya, or Baishan sect.
In fact, the White Mountain sect and the Black Mountain sect do not have much difference in doctrine. They only differ in the color of the hat, the ceremony and the form (for example, the Black Mountain sect recites Zikr in a high way, while the White Mountain sect recites it in a low tone). The two sects
Disputes often arise over unprincipled issues. Eventually, such disputes develop into bloody struggles for dominance.
The repeated struggles between the White Mountain Faction and the Black Mountain Faction were mainly manifested in politics. At first, the focus of the struggle between the two factions was the struggle for the leadership of the government. But since Muhammad Yusufu Kho Zhuo and Apak Kho Zhuo and their sons became the leaders of the White Mountain Faction
, the nature of the struggle between the two factions also changed. Since then, the essence of the struggle between the two factions has gradually evolved from competing for political leadership to competing for secular dominance.
The struggle between the White Mountain Faction and the Black Mountain Faction for inheritance rights was inextricably linked, and it was difficult for anyone to achieve a complete victory, so the Black Mountain Faction Yin Sihaq and Zhuo decided to develop outward. After receiving the invitation from Abdul Kerim Khan
, he entered the Yarkand Khanate.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the original history, after the death of Abdul Kerim Khan in 1592 AD, that is, the 20th year of Wanli, his younger brother Muhammad Khan succeeded to the throne. His rise to power was originally
It marked a major political victory for the Black Mountain faction and the Zhuo forces. Until the later period of his rule, the Black Mountain faction and the Zhuo forces had seriously interfered in the government's affairs and could truly influence the situation of the government.
However, the arrival of the Chahar people changed this historical process. When Abdul Kerim Khan had not yet died but was already seriously ill, the Chahar people suddenly came to kill him.
It is a coincidence that not only Abdul Kerim Khan of Yarkand was seriously ill at this time, but Tumen Khan, the "Mongol Khan" of Chahar, was also seriously ill - he actually died during his flight to the west.
He was already ill, so it was then that he arranged for Burihattu to assist Zuobuyantaiji.
Now, the leaders of both sides are ill, so it depends on who among his subordinates is more capable and who is more united.
There is no doubt that at this point, Chahar has all the advantages. From the perspective of his subordinates, leaders like Burihatu are mature and have long been tempered by fighting with Gao Pragmatism for many years.
leader.
From the perspective of unity, there is no doubt that there are sectarian disputes within Yarkand and people are divided, but the Chahar people are bent on fighting because they know that whether they and their tribe can survive depends on whether this battle can be fought.
Win.
Under such circumstances, the war was completely one-sided. I don’t know if it was a characteristic of war between nomads, but the huge Yarkand Khanate was completely defeated by the Chahar people in less than three months.
Abdul Kerim Khan, who was seriously ill and dying, chose to commit suicide in desperation, which did not disgrace his status as king. Later, Tumen Khan learned the news, perhaps out of some sympathy for the same illness, and helped him
A rather grand funeral was held.
But at this time, a really unexpected accident happened. This funeral actually became the trigger of the next war-because the funeral was held in accordance with the lama tradition that Chahar had practiced for many years.
Tumen Khan's good intentions were actually considered by the local Yarkand people as a deliberate humiliation of them, and large-scale riots broke out under the deliberate instigation of the Black Mountain faction.
At this time, Tumen Khan was so angry that he died soon after. According to his last words, Buyantaiji succeeded to the throne and was named Buyan Chechen Khan. Buyandhatu was officially appointed as the Grand Master as the "Minister of Guan Ming"
, in charge of Jiu Zhi Baizhen and exercise great power.
Buyantai Ji—well, let’s call him Buyan Khan from now on. Although he has a somewhat impatient personality and seems to be too emotional in dealing with many things. There was a time when his attitude towards Buyan Hatu was relatively doubtful, but along the way west
In the process of advancement, especially in the process of conquering Yarkand, they established a friendship-this may also be one of the manifestations of Burihatu's methods.
After that, as the Great Khan, he cooperated very well with Burihatu's work, and began to show one of his personal strengths - bravery.
Under the planning of Burihatu, Buyan Khan's bravery was vividly displayed. They formulated a counter-rebellion strategy of capturing the thieves first and the king first. Every time the army was dispatched, Hezhuo from the Black Mountain faction and ordinary people from Yarkand would be killed.
To distinguish between them, only each and Zhuo and each "mentor" will be killed during punishment.
[Note: Due to space limitations, Yerqiang’s zj mentorship system has not been explained previously. Interested friends can check the relevant information by themselves.]
This move was very effective in removing the firepower, and the results were outstanding, but it was still not enough. After understanding the local people's sentiments, Burihatu quickly contacted the Baishan Sect, and introduced the Baishan Sect to Yarkand to replace the Blackshan Sect.
power and soon calmed down the turmoil.
However, Burihatu knew that this approach would not cure the root cause - regardless of the White Mountain and Black Mountain, they were actually doing the same thing. When the Black Mountain Sect was prosperous, it would erode the authority of the Great Khan. Could it be that it would not be the case now that the White Mountain Sect was replaced?
?
This was something Burihatu could not allow, so he had already decided when he introduced the Baishan Sect. This introduction was just to suppress the situation first and calm down the situation. The next thing to do is to completely eliminate the sect's influence.
influence.
However, at the same time, Burihatu also knew that this matter was difficult to handle. If he suppressed it forcefully from the beginning, there would be another great chaos in the Khanate, so other methods were needed.
Because the land, pastures and other social wealth of Yarkand were previously concentrated in the hands of the Black Mountain sect and Zhuo, after the introduction of the White Mountain sect, only a small part of this wealth was taken away by the Chahar people, and most of the rest
He returned to the Baishan sect again.
This leads to a big trouble. It is difficult for Burihatu to effectively collect taxes on behalf of the Khanate. There is no doubt that countries around the world are similar on this issue. Don't expect them to pay taxes if the sect is too strong.
Tax.
Burihatu is one of the very few people who can realize that the organizational form of Mongolian nomadic society is not advanced enough, and taxation is a major chronic problem.
He once thought about why highly pragmatic reforms could succeed? Later he came to the conclusion that highly pragmatic fiscal reforms were actually the basis for all his reforms. Even if some reforms were launched without fiscal reforms, they were actually waiting for
Only when the fiscal reform is completed can the previous reforms be considered thorough and solid.
As a result, Burihatu launched a vigorous "cotton planting and weaving" movement. The reason for making this choice was that in addition to the fact that the local area was indeed suitable for growing cotton and weaving, a big reason was that places suitable for cotton fields had not been used in the past.
They are not taken seriously by the Yarkand people, which means that many of them are not in the hands of the sect and Zhuo.
Through this movement, a few years later Burihatu led the Chahar people and the Yarkand locals who were willing to cooperate with Chahar to become rich, completing the financial overtaking of the sect's power. At this point, Burihatu
The cleaning plan of the graph has entered a new stage.
Although he had the advantage in military strength and financial resources, as a smart man, Burihatu knew that it was better to kill someone with a borrowed knife than to kill someone himself. So he made a move to win over the Ottoman musket trade and Kou Bian Daming.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As mentioned before, even if Burihatu tried his best to buy them, the Chahar people could only gather 16,000 musketeers, but they
This time, the Ming Dynasty invaded the border area and claimed to send 100,000 troops.
Here is the key: Although there are not 100,000 troops, there are indeed about 80,000 troops. There is not much water in this "claim". However, among these 80,000 troops, Chahar's actual troops are only 25,000.
About a thousand, and the rest are all Yarkant's "local warriors".
There is no doubt that these "local warriors" are not ordinary people. They are all armed forces in the hands of the Hezhuomen of the White Mountain Faction and the few remaining members of the Black Mountain Faction. They are all a group of people with the strongest sectarian beliefs.
Burihatu did not simply use force to force them to send troops, but mainly used inducement and supplemented by coercion. He used the benefit of "he went to plunder the cities of Gansu and did not give back what he got" to drive them for his own use.
He Zhuo of the White Mountain Faction and the remnants of the Black Mountain Faction all knew very well at this time that Buyan Khan and the others were not only powerful in terms of military force, but also had completely surpassed them in financial resources. If they did not find a way to recover, the outcome in the future might not be good.
Although it is dangerous to send troops to invade the Ming Dynasty now, after all, our own side is all cavalry, but the Gansu Ming army is holding on to the branch city and fighting separately. Even if the battle does not go smoothly, at least it can preserve its strength to the maximum extent. And if the battle is successful,
Well, if you "don't pay what you get", you will definitely make a fortune, and maybe you can save the crisis.
Even if the bait dropped by Burihatu had evil intentions, he had to bite it now. Maybe if he bites more carefully, Burihatu could lose his wife and lose his army?
Gao pragmatic carefully analyzed the situation outside the Northwest Pass for the emperor. Except for the sectarian disputes that even he himself didn't know about, and Burihatu borrowing a knife to kill others, he generally explained the geographical pattern clearly.
Jian Gao pragmatism was still struggling with the fact that Buri Hatu's move was "unreasonable" and "I'm afraid there is something wrong with him", but Zhu Yijun seemed very calm and even open-minded.
Zhu Yijun laughed, then shook his head and said: "Rixin, Rixin, you are a good person, but sometimes you rely too much on pre-war calculations, and you always unconsciously hope to think everything through before taking action.
This is actually very difficult, and it may not be necessary.”
Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised. He looked at Zhu Yijun but said nothing, apparently waiting for the emperor to explain what he meant.
Zhu Yijun did not play charades, he moved his chair closer to Gao Pragmatic, crossed his legs in an inconspicuous manner, and said: "Rixin, do you know that as the emperor, when I face this situation,
What I'm thinking is completely different from yours. Why don't you guess what I think?"
Gao Pingshi was shocked when he heard this, but he only looked surprised and said: "The emperor is joking. The so-called king, king, and minister. Naturally, I can only think from the perspective and position of the minister. How can I know what the emperor thinks?"
"Sigh... you are just a little boring sometimes." Zhu Yijun shook his head in disappointment, looking listless, and said: "Actually, it's very simple. I only need to think about a few things: Since I've been kidnapped again.
, then when can we counterattack? How far should the counterattack go? What kind of troops should be mobilized? How much money and other materials need to be prepared? And, who can be sent to lead the troops to win? "
Gao Pingshi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "The emperor's ideas are really... quite practical."
Zhu Yijun triumphantly arched his hands towards him: "Thanks to you, thanks to you - isn't this all because of your influence over the past thirty years?"
Gao pragmatic scratched his head and said thoughtfully: "If the emperor wants to say that...well, it seems right."
Zhu Yijun laughed loudly, and then said: "Okay, that's very good. Just put away your wish to count the number of hairs on someone's head.
Let’s discuss the questions I just mentioned. The first question is: Now that we are being beaten, when can we fight back?”
Gao pragmatic stretched out his hand to stop, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, isn't it too early to talk about counterattack? Shouldn't we first discuss how to defend ourselves?"
"Are you like some people in the outer court who think that I don't know anything about the defense of the northwest?" Zhu Yijun sneered and said: "Gansu is too far away. We just discussed how to defend here and sent the order to Gansu. Over there
I don’t know what the situation will be like, these orders have already expired before they even took effect.”
Good guy, the emperor Zhu Yijun is really becoming more and more proficient in what he does now. Gao Pingshi coughed lightly and said: "Then the emperor means..."
"Now the defense issues can only be determined by Gansu itself. No matter whether it performs well or poorly, we in Beijing can't be of much help." Zhu Yijun put away his smile when he said this and said seriously: "The only thing we can do is
The next stage is to arrange a counterattack!
Humph, a bunch of bereaved dogs still dare to bark at me, if I don’t give them some color, how can I be regarded as the master of ZTE!”
Thanks to book friend "Cao Mianzi" for your reward support and monthly ticket support, thank you!
ps: 1, this chapter is 5k, and I still owe 4k. 2. Reply to the previous message: In fact, after reading this chapter and then reading the previous chapter, you will know that these two chapters are actually a supplement to "Chahar's Conquest of the Western Regions",
Because if this paragraph is not supplemented, then Burihatu's actions will be inexplicable, and Ming's future actions will also be like NPC automatic reactions.
Without an antecedent, the consequence becomes a mental illness. This is very inconsistent with my basic concept of writing a book: every important person's actions must have a reason and purpose, and this is especially true for every force.
