Chapter 930 The History of Blood and Tears of the Golden Family
The chief of the Wanfu mentioned Ezhe was Lin Danhan's eldest son and the orthodox heir to the Mongolian Golden Family.
This Ezhe has a noble status, but he is indeed a miserable child. His son Lin Danhan has a noble status and great dreams, but he does not have the ability to match his dreams.
When talking about Lin Danhan's origin, we must start with the unlucky child of Emperor Shun of Yuan. When Zhu Yuanzhang made an Northern Expedition, Emperor Shun of Yuan was defeated back to his hometown in Mongolia. After these Yuan Dynasty royal families returned to their hometown, they would inevitably occupy the pastures and land of the old nobles on the grassland, causing conflicts of light and darkness. Emperor Shun of Yuan and his descendants relied on the loyal Chahar tribe to gain a firm foothold in the homeland in the environment of being betrayed and stormy.
The Chahar tribe was known as the central ten thousand households in Mongolia in history, and was a direct tribe of the Mongolian Khan during the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The word Chahar was derived from the Persian guards and later changed to Mongolian. Therefore, the predecessor of the Chahar tribe was Genghis Khan's guard army, which is the Qiexue army called "the sharp sword blade and the side of the armor". Although the Qiexue army had only 10,000 people, each of them was noble. The father had at least a hundred household chiefs. In addition to taking on escort work, they were also responsible for the Khan's weapons, chariots, tents, documents, etc. They were both personal bodyguards and senior officials.
The Qixue Army initially only maintained the military responsibility of the Golden Family. Because of its various political privileges, it gradually evolved into a special interest group, namely the Chahar tribe.
With the protection of the Chahar tribe, Emperor Shun of Yuan finally gained a foothold in his hometown in Mongolia. Twenty years later, when Emperor Shun of Yuan was the Emperor of Northern Yuan, the Khan tent was set up in the area of Baikal. In an autumn when the wind and deserts were raging, the unlucky Golden Family was attacked again by the Ming general Lan Yu, leading an army of 150,000. The Emperor of Northern Yuan was killed by his subordinates. His concubines and princesses were more than 100,000 officials, 70,000 people, 150,000 horses, cattle and sheep, as well as a large number of seals, books, weapons, and vehicles of the Emperor of Yuan Dynasty were captured by the Ming army.
This disastrous defeat caused Genghis Khan's direct descendant to completely lose its supreme status. Most Mongolian tribes declared independence, and most of the Northern Yuan emperors who ascended the throne became puppets of powerful ministers and warlords. At the same time, Weilath Mongolia, which originated in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, became stronger. This Mongolian group had no blood relationship with Genghis Khan, and was just one of the surrenders of that year.
His leader Yesen was named "Taishi" of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but he became the real Khan on the Mongolian grassland. In particular, he eliminated hundreds of thousands of elite Ming dynasties in the "Tumu Fort Incident" and captured Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. He even shocked the entire grassland. His sphere of influence started from the Great Xing'an Mountains in the east, ended at the Pamir Mountains in the west, ended at Lake Baikal in the north, and ended at the desert in the south.
From then on, the "Golden Family" hid in a corner, resting on others, and survived. Only a few loyal Chaharmonic tribes were accompanied by them. It was not until the emergence of Batu Mengke that all this began to change.
Batu Mengk means "forever solid" in Mongolian. In 1479, the Mongolian Mandu Lukhan died without any offspring. Only his great nephew, the seven-year-old Batu Mengk, was left in the Golden Family. He was a poor orphan who was fostered in a poor herdsman's home. In order to maintain the Khan rule of the Golden Family, Mandu Hai, the queen of Mandu Lukhan, resolutely married Batu Mengk, supported him to inherit the Khan throne and called the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty history books gave him a more reputable name "Little Prince".
Based on the loyal Chaharwanhu, the little prince continued to unite and absorbed the surrounding Mongolian tribes, and finally defeated the Ola in the distant Ubud Sa Lake area and re-established the prestige of the Khan. After taking power, he abolished the official system of Taishi, Pingzhang and other people left behind by the Yuan Dynasty, restored the Jinnong and Nuoyan system during the Genghis Khan era, and then conquered Ordos, Tumot and other tribes, controlled the Khalkha tribe, Urianha tribe, Korchin tribe and the three guards of Duoyan, ended the separatist situation, and unified the Mongolian headquarters.
Until now, the title of Mongolian Khan has been considered to be considered to be among the descendants of Genghis Khan's direct descendants, but no matter how powerful the little prince is, he will die. After his death, the Mongolian tribes split again until Lin Dankhan ascended the throne.
Lin Dankhan's real name was Lin Danbatuer. He was the descendant of Genghis Khan and the seventh-generation grandson of the little prince. He inherited the throne at the age of thirteen and was honored as Hutuktu Khan. After Lin Dankhan ascended the throne, the Mongolian Khan's power was only a star. The Korchin, Neikalkha, Tumot, and Ordos tribes in the south of the desert were all in power and only regarded them as the nominal co-lords. The outer Khalkha in the north of the desert did not recognize the Mongolian Khan as the co-lords, and the Lat Mongolia in the west of the Moxi Wei still became enemies of Lin Dankhan. At the same time, the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong gradually completed unification and established the Later Jin Dynasty. They were staring at Lin Dankhan with covetous eyes and even killed the envoys he sent.
At this time, only the loyal Chahar tribe was able to trust and control. It was with the power of Chahar that Lin Danhan completed a Jedi counterattack. He resisted the humiliation of the Jianzhou Jurchen Nurhaci, and did not even pursue the ministers who defected to the Later Jin Dynasty. Instead, he resolutely led the Chahar tribe to his hometown, determined to restore the unification of the Mongolian grasslands first, re-establish the glory of Genghis Khan, and then resist the erosion of the Later Jin Dynasty.
After full preparation, Lin Danhan defeated the Mongolian tribes such as Halashen's tribe, Tumote's tribe and other Mongolian tribes, and once again occupied the former land of Chahar, stationed outside the Xuanfu and outside the Great Wall. Chahar, the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty showed a three-legged pattern.
In order to deal with the Qing Dynasty and continue to maintain cooperative relations with the Ming Dynasty, Lin Danhan sent troops to restrain the Qing Dynasty many times. The Ming Dynasty was not stingy with military expenditures and gave Lin Danhan a large amount of logistics supplies.
However, all this changed from the self-conceited Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he listened to the slander of civil officials in the court who did not understand military information. At the same time, in order to save military expenses, he stopped economic support to Lin Dankhan and even killed the ministers sent by Lin Dankhan to receive the reward.
Without the support of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Danhan had only 50,000 new forces left after years of war, and struggled with poverty and injuries. Lin Danhan had no choice but to run west to Qinghai, and finally died there after being infected with smallpox.
After Lin Dankhan's death, the Jin soldiers took advantage of the heavy fog to surround the camp of Lin Dankhan's son Ezhe. Ezhe surrendered with the imperial seal of the Yuan Dynasty, and Genghis Khan's golden family finally lost the grassland.
After Lin Danhan's death, almost all his concubines remarried. Some of them looked for their own life, and some took their property and their subordinates to Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji was very good. Not only did he accept the surrender of many concubines of Lin Danhan, he took several concubines himself, but the other concubines were assigned to the royal relatives and nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchu as concubines.
Su Tai's concubine was known in history as Empress Dowager Su Tai, and this woman was Ezhe's biological mother. This concubine was not a Mongolian but a Manchu. Her surname was Yehenara. Empress Dowager Su Tai surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty and remarried Huang Taiji's cousin Jierhalang. She was the sister of Jierhalang's late successor. Empress Dowager Su Tai was young, beautiful and rich. At that time, Da Beile Daishan fell in love with her and wanted to marry her, but Huang Taiji did not let Daishan do what she wanted, but instead married Empress Dowager Su Tai to Jierhalang.
Lin Danhan also has a concubine named Namu Zhong. She was attracted by Huang Taiji and became Huang Taiji's concubine. At that time, Namu Zhong was already pregnant with Lin Danhan's posthumous son and was born to the last Prince Chahar Abunai. However, in this time and space, Abunai had no chance to be a prince.
After Zhu Hongsan occupied Beijing, except for the emperor Shunzhi and a few people, the other female relatives became Zhu Hongsan's prisoners. These women were all captured by Zhu Hongsan. Naturally, Zhu Hongsan was not polite to control his wife, so he chose a few young and beautiful women to enrich his harem.
Because of his charm, this Namu Zhong changed his new husband again at the age of 34 and became Zhu Hongsan's little wife. Therefore, in this regard, Zhu Hongsan is indeed the godfather of the new Mongolian Khan Ezhe.
Since he is a relative, it's easy to deal with. Zhu Hongsan smiled and said to Hu Tu, "Why didn't my son come to see my godfather!"
Mongolian is different from Chinese. After a translation, the godfather becomes an elder. Hu Tu saw that the Ming Dynasty emperor was already fifty years old, so he didn't care about it as an elder who was a khan, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Dear Ming Dynasty Emperor, my Khan sent me to contact the Ming Dynasty first. If the Ming Dynasty Emperor agrees to form an alliance, my Khan will naturally come to meet with the Ming Dynasty Emperor!"
Zhu Hongsan heard Hu Tu say that Ezhe was at the same height as himself. Zhu Hongsan sneered in his heart, "You Chahar tribe was suppressed by the Qing Dynasty for so many years, maybe those cavalry are your full strength, and you want to be on par with me."
Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "No problem, go back and tell my son, so that he can come to see me with confidence!"
This time, Zhu Hongsan did not use his godfather but used his son. Now Hu Tu understands that the fat emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to be his own kid.
Hu Tu said angrily: "Ming Dynasty Emperor, why did you insult my Khan? My Khan has the golden family blood and is extremely noble. My Khan's father is the Mongol Hutuktu Khan, and he is not the Ming Dynasty emperor at all!"
After Hu Tu said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Zhu Hongsan could let him leave like this!
The Jinyiwei stepped forward to stop the five Mongolians. Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "What? Are you going to leave when you want to come? Since you are here, you have to leave something!"
After receiving the order from Zhu Hongsan, the Jinyiwei came out and more than a dozen people came out, holding down Hu Tu and five others, and cutting off their noses.
Seeing Hutu and Zhu Hongsan, who had lost his nose, smiled and said, "When I go back, I know that his life is not easy. If you want to drink and eat meat, don't put on any stinky airs of sweating. Come and pay my respects to me. You must know that Lin Dan's second son Abu Nai is in my hands, which makes me unhappy and is just making me sweat! "
