788, Imperial Conference on Northwest Issues 5

"In the twelfth year of Zhengde, Dayan Khan died soon after being defeated by the Ming Dynasty in Yingzhou. After Ada Khan (Altan Khan) came to the throne, after regaining control of the Mongolian region, he set his sights on Qinghai.

At that time, the Mongolian Yongxiebu Tribe in Qinghai had already established a firm foothold and controlled vast areas such as Qinghai, the Seven Tribes of Guanxi, and Alxa. Because the core of its territory was located in the West Sea (Qinghai Lake), it was called West Sea Mongolia."

Ida is the grandson of Dayan Khan and the son of Balsborot. In his early years, he was granted the title of Tumote Ten Thousand Households and was stationed in Fengzhoutan (today's Hohhot, Inner Mongolia). Later, he was named King of Shunyi by the Ming Dynasty. He built Guihua City (today's Hohhot, Inner Mongolia).

Hohhot, Inner Mongolia). When King Shunyi passed to Chongzhen, he was exterminated under the attack of Lin Dan Khan.

The character of An Sanxi has a historical prototype. Ma Fang, a Han slave, shot a tiger on the grassland and saved the life of Ada Khan, the king of Shunyi who was hunting. He gained the attention of the king of Shunyi and became a personal guard, accompanying him around. Later he returned to the Ming Dynasty.

He made numerous meritorious deeds and was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of Datong and Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army. He died in the seventh year of Wanli.

The Tumut tribe became stronger in his hands. He had the largest number of armored cavalry among the Mongols during the Ming Dynasty. He and his brother Gunbilik (Ji Nang) Jinong fought in the south and north, and accumulated strong military strength.

After the death of Gun Bilik in the 21st year of Jiajing (1542), he became the de facto leader of the 30,000 right-wing households. He repeatedly invaded the south and invaded Beijing, and in the 29th year of Jiajing (1550), he surrounded Beijing.

, created the Gengxu Rebellion, defeated the hostile Uliangha Wanhu and Oara tribes to the north and west, and occupied Qinghai, and forced the Mongolian suzerain Khan Daisun (Dalai Xun, ancestor of Lin Dan Khan) to move eastward.

Liaohetao, in the process obtained the titles of Sodo Khan, Situ Khan, Tuxie Tuchechen Khan, Gegen Khan and other Khans.

"Ada Khan crossed Gansu three times and attacked Qinghai. Finally, in the 11th year of Jiajing, Anda Khan led an army of 50,000 across Gansu and invaded Qinghai. He completely eliminated the Mongolian forces in the West Sea of ​​Yibula. After that, Qinghai became

The "enclave" of the Mongol Khanate."

Anda Khan's army ignored the Ming Dynasty army and traveled back and forth through the Gansu region, achieving effective control of Qinghai. In 1560, he left seven tribes including Sizi Bingtu and others in Qinghai to guard this place. It was called the Mongolian Tumote in the West Sea in history.

Seven parts.

“The connection between the Mongols and Lamaism stems from Ada Khan’s western expedition to Mongolia in the West Sea.”

Hearing this, Chongzhen and the ministers all pricked up their ears and listened carefully. Now they began to talk about the key points.

“In the third year of Longqing (1569), Anda Khan attacked Qinghai for the second time. His forwards reached the Uzang area and plundered Uzang. In 1573, Anda Khan attacked Qinghai for the third time.

At this time, the Mongolian army not only conquered the entire Qinghai, but also incorporated western Sichuan and Kham into Mongolian territory. Sichuan became the border of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, under huge military pressure, the Us Tibetans began to fight against Ananda Khan.

touch."

"The snowy area is remote, and Ananda Khan's main focus is on the Mongolian region. Under common interests, the two parties formed an alliance. In the fifth year of Wanli (1577), Ananda Khan announced his conversion to Lamaism (Tibetan Buddhism)."

Only then did Chongzhen know that it was Anda Khan who introduced Lamaism into Mongolia. Anda Khan did it for better rule in the snowy area, while the upper echelons of Lamaism wanted to spread religion in Mongolia. The descendants of Anda Khan, King Shunyi, inherited it

It gradually declined and lost control of the snowy areas. However, the spread of Lamaism in Mongolia was very successful. Eventually, Mongolia and Tibet were integrated.

"At this alliance, Uzang and Mongolia formed an alliance."

Chongzhen suddenly understood and said: "Since the Mongols did this, they are looking for excuses to lead troops into Uzbekistan in the future."

"Yes, in the thirty-first year of Wanli (1603), a large number of Mongolian cavalry entered Uzang. This is actually equivalent to Mongolia's comeback after more than a hundred years of retreat from Uzang. In Mongolia's re-conquest of Uzang

During the process, Ming was also unable to intervene and had no intention of intervening."

Sun Chengzong said this, and everyone understood that at this time, in the last years of Wanli, Nurhaci had risen. The court's main energy was focused on Liaodong.

Chief Assistant Li Biao said: "I have always wondered why Lin Dan Khan changed his faith. It turns out that the root lies here. The line of King Shunyi and the line of Lin Dan Khan are both descendants of Dayan Khan and Genghis Khan. Lin Dan Khan is the orthodox inheritance.

And King Shunyi is powerful. Both sides compete for control of Mongolia."

Qian Longxi also went on to say: "Lin Dan Khan's line is naturally unwilling to accept the religion that the Shunyi King's line allied with and introduced. In fact, it was the Shunyi King's line that opened up a religious battlefield and competed with the orthodox Mongol Khan line for population.

and territorial struggles.”

Sun Chengzong nodded and agreed. This is the underlying logic.

Many people find it puzzling that Lin Dan Khan converted to religion without authorization and lost many Mongolian hearts. In fact, he had no choice. If he did not convert, his existing tribe would be dragged over by the Shunyi King's lineage.

Li Banghua, the Minister of War, said: "In this way, Lin Dan Khan's western expedition to Monan Mongolia last year was aimed at attacking the line of King Shunyi, and the line of King Shunyi was extinct. It can be regarded as the end of the war in Mongolia for more than a hundred years.

The biggest competitor to internally unify Mongolia. Only by defeating the Tumuts can the Chahar people's leadership position in Mongolia be truly established."

Bi Zisu, the Minister of Household Affairs, sighed and said: "Looking at these methods, Lin Dan Khan is also a tycoon. If it weren't for the rise of Jiannu in the east, it has become his biggest threat. He would really be able to completely unify Mongolia and restore his ancestor Dayan Khan

Glory. It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time."

Chongzhen nodded silently, the Us Tibetans and the Tumuts used each other for their own purposes.

Bi Ziyan asked: "Where will Dingyuanbo go on his western expedition this time?"

Li Banghua, the Minister of War, said: "According to His Majesty's wishes, as long as the Ordos tribe and the Tumote tribe are eliminated, the combat objective will be completed, and then the troops can return to the court."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bi Ziyan continued to ask: "Tumote and Ordos may not be the opponents of Dingyuanbo alone. But there are still people left by Dayan Khan in Qinghai

The Tumut people. Jiayuguanxi and the seven tribes of Kansai, and the Alxa Mongols also have a certain strength. There are four major Oara people on the north side of the Tianshan Mountains. To the south of the Tianshan Mountains is the Yarkand Khanate, the remnant of the Chagatai Khanate.

To the north of the Tumut people, across the Gobi, are the three Outer Khalkha Khanates. Isn’t that right?”

Li Banghua nodded and could only admit it, saying: "It is indeed true. Behind Uncle Dingyuan, there are also Lin Dan Khan's Chahar tribe and Jiannu. This is indeed the place where the Four Wars are."

Donglin planned to dismantle the important nine-border town, so he had to clear out the Tumut and Ordos people. He knew that if Yang Fan went to destroy the Tumut tribe, he would most likely be besieged by Mongolian tribes from all directions. But he still persisted.

As the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Bi Ziyan was responsible for the arrangement of military pay and food for this military activity. The situation must be clarified before a budget assessment can be made. After all, when a war is fought, money is spent and water is lost.

"If Uncle Dingyuan takes Guihua City and the Tuoye area and is besieged from all sides by the surrounding Mongols, will Jingying and Uncle Dingyuan retreat back? I'm afraid they can only stay in Kuaishou. Otherwise, if they retreat,

This place has been lost again.”

Bi Ziyan's words did not give Donglin any face. We all know that you and Uncle Dingyuan don't want to deal with each other.

You have clearly exiled Uncle Dingyuan. If Uncle Dingyuan loses, you can take the opportunity to deal with him. Even if Uncle Dingyuan wins, he and the Beijing camp will have no choice but to stay there because they are surrounded by Mongols.

I've been held back. How can I get back?

In this way, in the Gyeonggi area, Dingyuan Bo's influence has been eliminated, and the Gyeonggi camp has been taken away. He is trapped in that dead end in the northwest. Isn't it your decision to rule the Gyeongsang?

Abolish the important towns on the nine sides. There are nine general soldiers in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces under one trilateral governor. If these people are disbanded, Dingyuan Bo will not be able to come back and can only fill this hole. In the local area and the Mongols

Keep entangled.

When Li Biao saw that something was wrong, he immediately said: "Master Bi, what you said is wrong. Mongolia is now divided, and the Oara and Tatars have been feuding for hundreds of years. How can they be unified? This has not happened for hundreds of years."

Qian Longxi also said: "This war can last up to one year. We will set off after the Spring Festival and arrive at the battlefield in the spring. We will withdraw our troops in the autumn. A one-year budget is enough."

Chongzhen needed Dong Lin at this time, and he was young and vigorous. His ability to conquer Mongolia in Monan was a great achievement of his ancestors. He also believed in his heart that Yang Fan would have no problem destroying the last force in Monan.

"Bi Qing, this matter has been decided and cannot be discussed further. The budget will be prepared in advance according to one year."

Hearing the emperor's words, Bi Ziyan didn't know what to say. He was deeply worried. He believed that Uncle Dingyuan could defeat him, and he was also confident that he could win the Tumut and Ordos tribes. However, he was afraid.

The battle is won, but if the Beijing camp is entangled, it will take a long time.

The Gansu frontier army is so bad that it cannot stop the attacks of the Qinghai Mongols and the Alxa Mongols. If they are afraid that the Beijing camp will be held back, then money will be wasted like water.

Moreover, the northwest is the territory of the Jin Party. Donglin's abolition of the Nine Borders is aimed at the opposing factions. The Jin Party has been operating in the border army in the northwest for more than a hundred years. This time, if it is abolished, all the troops will be on the border.

The forces in the army were eliminated.

But at present, Donglin is powerful and the emperor supports them. The Jin party can only lie dormant and wait for opportunities to destroy it instead of openly opposing it.

While the emperor and ministers were discussing and evaluating the northwest issue, Yang Fan received a report from the Beitangkou Shipyard. After two years of development, the flying shear ship was finally completed.

In the past two years, under the leadership of Ming Yan, the shipyard mainly built small ships first, and then gradually built larger ships when the technology matured. It adopted a strategy of small steps and fast running, and only produced one ship of each class.

There are two ships. But each ship has been improved, with some new designs and functions, and some new technologies.

More than a dozen 1,500-ton and 900-ton clipper ships were built successively. Finally, when it was believed that the technology of clipper ships had been fully mastered, two 1,500-ton cruisers were started at the same time.

Yang Fan is ready to fix the technical status and then start mass production of warships of this level.

It seems necessary to go to Beitangkou to have a look.
