Zhang Juzheng had long known that Gao Gong had put a lot of effort into the situation in northern Xinjiang. In general terms, he and Gao Gong had the same idea. They both wanted to change the bad situation in which Ming Dynasty had been passively beaten for many years. For Gao Gong,
He also understands Gong's thinking and agrees with it very much.
Gao Gong's idea was mentioned by a logistics master in later generations, but it was criticized miserably - before going outside, you must first settle down at home.
However, in fact, there is no problem with this idea. As for the bitter pill that the logistics master suffered back then, the reason is that the foreign invasion has reached the point of annihilation of the country, and he does not have the ability to pacify the internal affairs but insists on pacifying the internal affairs first.
If you can't do it outside, you can't do anything inside, and you'll get into a lot of trouble for nothing.
But the situation Gao Gong is facing now is obviously different from that of the logistics master back then.
Internally, because of the almost unreserved trust of Emperor Longqing, Gao Gong had the ability and authority to suppress internal noise and forcefully promote reforms in all aspects, thereby strengthening the strength of the Ming Dynasty and forming the "Forging iron requires one's own hard work"
"The situation has been discussed a lot and will not be repeated here.
But from the outside, it is worth mentioning. The most important thing is that the Mongols themselves have already been de facto divided. At this time, Mongolia did not even have such thoughts, let alone the strength to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
It has long ceased to exist. The reason for their frequent invasions is, in the final analysis, very simple. It is that they simply cannot survive without looting some supplies.
How did this situation come about? Especially after the left-wing Mongolia moved south, this split became more and more obvious. So much so that now, even a slow empire like the Ming Dynasty has felt that the split of Mongolia is a foregone conclusion. With Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng
The knowledgeable people represented by others realized that the Mongols could not even control their own internal affairs, so how could they have the intention and strength to swallow up the glorious Ming Dynasty, which had "billions of people and millions of heavenly soldiers"?
Therefore, Gao Gong invited Zhang Juzheng to reanalyze and plan the strategy for Mongolia.
In fact, the process of Mongolia's split and the current real situation, whether it is the decisions of Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and other ministers in power at the moment, or Gao Pragmatic's future strategy of "economic penetration and political treatment" of Mongolia, are all
It is of great significance and worth mentioning.
It would be troublesome to trace this matter too far back, but at least it must start from the time of Dayan Khan.
At that time, with the disintegration and decline of the Oara tribe, the Tumut tribe of the Tatar clan gradually rose up under the leadership of Dayan Khan. During the rise of Dayan Khan and his dominance of the grassland, there was a tribe called Chahar tribe.
The tribe of the Golden Family also made great contributions to the Khan King of the Golden Family. Therefore, the Chahar Tribe expanded greatly during the reign of Dayan Khan, but because Dayan Khan divided the Chahar Tribe into
Several of his eleven sons made it inevitable that the Chahar tribe would be involved in the power struggle in the Tumed Khan court.
During the period of Buch Khan, the Chahar tribe ushered in another important enfeoffment. In this enfeoffment, the tribes under the Chahar tribe expanded again. However, although the left-wing Mongolian Chahar tribe became the Tumo
The important pillar of the Tehan Court, while greatly expanding, was also hated by the right-wing Mongolia.
Especially during the period of Bu Chi Khan, Bu Chi Khan, as a left-wing Mongolian line, relied on the power of the Chahar tribe to successfully seize the Khanate. As a result, he continued to suppress the right wing and greatly weakened the right-wing Mongolia, leaving them with no choice but to
Submitted to the left-wing Mongolian golden family headed by Bu Chi Khan.
But it is obvious that the right-wing Mongolia will not be so content with the status quo. In order to better deter the right-wing Mongolia and maintain military pressure on the Ming Dynasty, during the era of Buchi Khan, the Chahar tribe made its first southward migration and arrived at
Xuanfu of the Ming Dynasty, outside the two towns of Datong.
However, the good times did not last long. Due to the Ulianghan rebellion that broke out later, the Chahar tribe had to leave the Monan area and returned to Mobei to guard it. Although Buchi Khan later increased the Chahar tribe's troops, the Chahar tribe was
The return of the Har tribe to the north directly greatly reduced the military pressure on the right-wing Mongolia. At the same time, because of Buchi Khan's mistakes in enfeoffment, the right-wing Mongolia became stronger again.
As Chahar moved north, under the leadership of Anda, the right-wing Mongolia on the one hand continued to follow the left-wing Buchi Khan, and on the other hand quietly began to expand southward. They bypassed the Ming Shaanxi-Gansu area and settled in the Qinghai area.
A new Tumote tribe pasture was opened up. At the same time, the far-sighted Anda Khan actively accepted the fleeing Han people and organized them to develop cultivated land and build towns in Tumochuan.
When Buchi Khan finally put down the Ulianghan rebellion in Mobei, he originally wanted to integrate the right-wing Mongolia to consolidate his power. However, at this time, the right-wing Mongolia clearly had the power to overthrow the left-wing Khan.
.
At this time, Anda Khan had controlled the entire right-wing Mongolian Zhutaiji. What's more serious is that with the Chahar tribe's northward migration due to war needs, the pastures that originally belonged to the Chahar tribe had long been occupied.
The right-wing Mongolia quickly invaded, and when Bu Chi Khan died of illness in Mobei, the left-wing Mongolia had actually been completely divided.
Regarding Dalaisun Khan who succeeded to the throne, Anda simply tore apart his previous pretense. He unceremoniously asked the young Khan for the throne of right-wing Mongolia. Dalaisun Khan himself also knew that
Years of fighting have actually seriously consumed the strength of the Chahar tribe. At this time, it is obviously not a wise choice to confront Anda. Therefore, Darson Khan did not lead Chahar in a daze.
Your tribe returned to their original pasture, but huddled in Mobei.
However, for the huge Chahar tribe, the environment in Mobei was obviously too harsh, and staying in Mobei would only make it weaker and weaker. With no choice, Dalaisun Khan finally led most of the Chahar tribe members to the south.
Migration. He didn't know that this southward migration of left-wing Mongolia would ultimately change the history of Northeast Asia and even the world.
Daraisun Khan began to prepare for the southward migration in the 29th year of Jiajing. However, the risks involved with such a huge movement are naturally self-evident, so Daraisun Khan divided the huge Chahar region.
, leaving a considerable number to continue to be stationed in Mobei. This Chahar tribe eventually evolved into the later Khalkha Mongols, and later the Kalmyks in Russia.
This time, Daraisun Khan's purpose was not to lead the Chahar tribe back to their pastureland north of Datong, Xuanfu, because that place had almost become the center of right-wing Mongolian rule and could not be allowed to be occupied by them. He set his goal on
Although the pastures in Ji Town and the north of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty have been transferred to the Ming Dynasty, the fertile pastures in this area have actually been owned for a long time: those who live here are the Mongolian "Duoyan Sanwei" who are the vassals and vassals of the Ming Dynasty - readers who are familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty
You must all know it well, so I won’t go into details.
In this way, the large-scale southward migration of the left-wing Mongolia became a war of conquest by Dalaisun Khan against the Three Duoyan Guards. Compared with the huge Chahar tribe, the strength of the Three Duoyan Guards was obviously not enough to compete. Therefore, in Jiajing
Thirty years later, the three guards of Duoyan had to surrender to Dalaisun Khan.
However, due to the military deterrence of the Ming Dynasty, Daraisun Khan did not annex the Duoyan Three Guards in one fell swoop, but left a small amount of pasture for the use of the remaining Duoyan Three Guards who had suffered heavy losses. Most of the Duoyan Three Guards were under their leader
Under the leadership of the Ming Dynasty, he left the protection of the Ming Dynasty and chose to join the Tumut Mongolia ruled by Ada Khan, and finally disappeared in the long river of history.
