Chapter 2 Three parties prepare for war (2)
The next morning, Zhu Yinglong ordered people to pass on Liu Zongzhou, deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to the Nanshu. Liu Zongzhou was responsible for diplomatic work in Mongolia, so he was most familiar with Mongolian affairs. Therefore, he had to know the latest updates of various Mongolian ministries, especially the information of Taiji, the leader of each ministries. He was a living dictionary.
The descendants of Genghis Khan developed greatly when his fifteenth generation grandson Dayan Khan. Dayan Khan, named Batumonk, ascended the throne at the age of six. His father Batumonk formed an alliance with his uncle Mandulu. Mandulu ascended the throne, and Batumonk was Jinong (equivalent to the auxiliary government and deputy khan). Later, due to disputes between tribes, the two of them were defeated and died one after another. Mandulu Khan's widow Mandu Haifojin established Batumonk ascended the throne, respectfully called Dayan Khan, and married him. In that year, it was said that Mandu Haifojin was thirty-three years old, and Batumonk Khan was only six years old. Mandu Haifojin assisted the young Dayan Khan, in charge of political affairs, vowed to take revenge and maintain
The Golden Family Rule. The Fujin of Mandu led his army to fight, galloping across the desert, defeating heroes, eliminating enemies, and consolidating the rule. After Dayan Khan was older, he personally ruled, carried out reforms, strengthened the power of the Khan, and divided the territory. Dayan Khan divided his sons into prison and built six ten thousand households on the left and right wings - the 30,000 households on the left and right wings were Chaharwan, Uryan Ha and Khalkha 10,000 households; the 30,000 households on the right wing were Ordos ten thousand households, Tumotwan households and Yongsebu (Halashen, Asut) 10,000 households on the left wing were directly under the control of the Khan, and the Khan was stationed in Chaharwan households; the 30,000 households on the right wing were governed by Jinnong, and the Khan was stationed in Ordos ten thousand households.
During the reign of Buyanchechen Khan (the father of Lin Dankhan), the leaders of the big and small Halashen tribes were close to the Mongolian Khan and their Chaharwanhu and depended on each other for their lives. However, by the time of Lin Dankhan, the two sides turned against each other due to the ownership of the tribes and the competition for the mutual market interests of Zhangjiakou and the Ming Dynasty, which almost led to armed conflicts. In the fourth year of Wanli, when Xiao Halashensu Degaidaiji passed away, his eldest son Man Wusu was underage, so he was accepted as adopted son by Buyanchechen Khan. Chechen Khan carefully raised Man Wusu and made him a general. At the same time, Buyanchechen Khan sent Badu of Chaharwanhu to Xiao Halashen to garrison his tribe and his subordinates. After Lin Dankhan ascended the throne, Man Wusu led him to live.
The army and troops formed during the Chaharvanhu period returned to the Halashen tribe and defected to his uncle Qingbadu (the second son of Bayath Hale, who was the uncle of Man Wusu according to family generation). His departure aroused the dissatisfaction of the leaders of various tribes of Chaharvanhu. Lin Danhan then proposed to Bai Yantaiji of the Halashen tribe to return the troops and troops led by the Badu sent by Chechen Khan to Xiaohalashen. Bai Yantaiji refused to return. Lin Danhan issued an edict to draw more than 100,000 cavalry of each army to threaten, and sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty, saying that the Zhangjiakou area is the old place of Chaharvanhu and that other troops are not allowed to embezzle the mutual rewards here. Bai Yantaiji and others joined forces with Tumotbu Shitu Jinong to confront Lin Danhan.
In the seventh year of the Tianqi period, Lin Danhan personally led an army of 100,000 to fight against the western leader of Halashen, Bai Yantaiji, at Hongshankou (now Ulanqab), and then conquered Guihua City and seized the Yin Buddha Temple. Bai Yantaiji was defeated, and Halashen in the western part was dispersed, and Bai Yantaiji was only spared.
In March of the first year of Chongzhen, Lin Dankhan again plundered Du Kaiping and cleared Halachen's tribe. In March of that year, Lin Dankhan destroyed Yongxiebu and killed the grandson of Lao Badu, the strongest supporter of Shunyi King Bustu, the leader of Yongxiebu, Namurtaiji, the right-wing Yongxiebu Wanhu. From then on, the leader of the eastern part of Halashen, Subudi, formed a 100,000 coalition with Shunyi King Boshuoketu Khan (Bu Shitu), Ordos Jinong, and Yongxiebu's tribe, Asot, Abaga, and Nekhalkha to fight at Zhaocheng in Tumot, killing more than 40,000 Lin Dankhan's tribe, and then return.
The division annihilated 3,000 enemies in Zhangjiakou, but the two consecutive stops resulted in both losses. Chahar suffered more than 10,000 Mongolian soldiers. Lin Dankhan finally won a miserable victory. Although he lost 40,000 elite troops, he occupied a large area of land. Tumot and Halashen partly collapsed, and the Urianha tribe that was annexed by Halashen's tribe was only left with a group of guarding the Duoyanwei area. Shunyi King Bu Shitu was defeated, and the jade seal of the Yuan Dynasty he possessed was seized, and other tribes were mostly dispersed. This declared that Lin Dankhan's defeat in the battle against the right-wing Mongolia, but it caused the powerful and rich right-wing Mongolia to be looted and suffered heavy casualties.
When Lin Danhan destroyed the right-wing Mongolia, the Uzhumuqin, Sunit, Haozit and other tribes in the Chahar headquarters fled out of Khalkha because they could not bear the erosion of Manzhou and were unwilling to join the destruction of the right-wing.
This war was half of the gains and losses for the Ming Dynasty at that time: there were Mongolian tribes outside the nine border towns of the Ming Dynasty. Lin Danhan moved westward and fought with Mongolian tribes, which did weaken Mongolia and reduce hidden dangers in border towns. But in the long run, Mongolia was exhausted in this battle, and Lin Danhan also lost all his heart and declined from then on. At this time, the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty was already unstoppable, and he did not even suffer any major losses in several battles with the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, after the war, more Mongolian tribes turned to the Later Jin Dynasty.
At that time, Zhu Yinglong's new king ascended the throne, and the domestic political situation was turbulent, and the North and South split. Although he gave a head-on blow to the provocation of the Later Jin Dynasty, Zhu Yinglong's policy at that time was only to resolute the country before fighting the foreign powers, so he reached a peace agreement with the Later Jin Dynasty and signed an alliance under the city.
At this time, Lin Danhan actually proposed a marriage and trade with each other, which surprised Zhu Yinglong because in his memory, Chahar Mongolia was not very close to the Ming Dynasty, and there were even some hostility. As a descendant of the Golden Family, Lin Danhan was most enthusiastic about reviving the Genghis Khan Great Mongol era. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was his potential enemy, but now the marriage has been completed, and it has lost its meaning to investigate the reasons behind it.
At this time, Zhu Yinglong also focused his energy on Mongolian affairs. The right-wing Mongolia Dongtumot and Halashen, and the remnants of Urianha were also preserved by the Ming Dynasty, and gradually recovered some vitality, avoiding the consequences of these two remaining troops throwing into the Later Jin Dynasty, causing Huang Taiji to increase his strength.
Due to the great loss of strength, Bu Shitu Jinnong, the leader of Tumote, his tribe shrank greatly, and the city of Guihua was occupied by Lin Dankhan, and the garrison was forced to move westward. Later, because Huang Taiji personally fought against Chahar for the second time, the two armies confronted each other in the Zhaocheng area, and they had a victory or defeat. Lin Dankhan led his troops to retreat to Chahanhot. Xitumote collapsed. Under the convening of Bai Yantaiji, the leader of Xihalashen tribe, they took the opportunity to raid Guihua City and regained the city belonging to Tumote Mongols. The remnants of Halashen tribe, led by Subudi, descended from Jirama, the former leader of the eastern Halashen tribe, Urianha, and grazed in parts of the control area near the border of Daming, including Chifeng and Xuanfu in western Liaoxi, and traded with Dama City. With the secret assistance of Daming, the construction of Chifeng City began.
The East and West Tumote split. Bu Shitu Jinnong was old and was taken away by Lin Dankhan's imperial seal because of his defeat. He moved westward to Qinghai. He died of depression soon afterwards. Now Bai Yantaiji and Subute each have a Halashen man, with supporters from each other. Subute is inclined to Ming and Bai Yantaiji tend toward the Later Jin Dynasty. Although the two tribes still united to fight against Lin Dankhan, there were already sharp differences within.
The imperial seal was in the hands of Lin Danhan. He felt like he had a treasure. Obtaining the imperial seal from the Yuan court three hundred years ago was equivalent to Chang Shengtian choosing him as the Khan of the entire Mongolians. Therefore, Lin Danhan's ambitions swelled uncontrollably. In addition, the Ming court deliberately needed him to make great efforts in the anti-Jin period and provided support for looking at war materials. After two years of cultivation, he annexed many weak tribes, strengthened his own strength, and raised up 100,000 cavalry.
Faced with Lin Danhan's aggressive situation, the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert either advanced east to rely on the Later Jin Dynasty and obtained the protection of Huang Taiji. The Mongolian tribes near the border of Daming were hiding with the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yinglong even ordered the generals of the nine towns of the border town to take care of the weak Mongolian tribes, and even allowed them to temporarily raise their troops to the border town when the strong enemy attacked.
The Ming border troops dismantled the old and weak, trained their military horses, and their strength became stronger and stronger. Since Zhu Yinglong ascended the throne, although there have been frequent conflicts between the Ming and Mongolian borders, the Mongolian soldiers no longer dared to rush forward as presumptuously as before, and did not take the Ming border defense officers seriously at all.
"Emperor, in the first year of Chongzhen, Lin Danhan moved westward because of the pressure of the Later Jin Dynasty. He fought with the right-wing Tumote and Halashen in a battle with Guihua City. After this war, although the Jin Emperor Taiji participated in the war, many of the Mongolian tribes who surrendered to the south of the Monan were directly or indirectly involved in the war. In this battle, Lin Dan won first and then lost. Both sides suffered heavy losses. The one who benefited the most was Huang Taiji. Although he also secretly participated in the war, the losses were borne by Tumote and Halashen, and this battle went on.
The Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert were tied to Huang Taiji's chariot, so that Huang Taiji later led the Later Jin army to join forces with the Mongolian tribes to fight Lin Dankhan in a great battle with Lin Dankhan, forcing Lin Dankhan to give up Guihua City and other places, and then showed goodwill to Tumote tribes. After the death of Tumote tribes, Bu Shitu Ji Nong, Halashen tribe Bai Yantaiji took advantage of the situation to seize the leadership of the remaining tribes of Tumote. Most of the remaining tribes of Tumote were stationed in Qinghai and defected to Erlinchen, the leader of Ordos Mongolian, the son of Bushitu.
After Bai Yantaiji moved to Guihua City, although he had traded with the Ming Dynasty, he had close contacts with Huang Taiji in secret letters and rumors of marriage were constantly circulating. However, because the court was secretly assisted by the imperial court, he tended to be my Ming Dynasty. However, I heard that Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty had sent an envoy to visit Chifeng New City, secretly contacted Subudi's younger brother Wan Danwei, trying to influence Subudi through Wan Danwei, and then leaned against the Later Jin to achieve an attempt to subdue the right wing of Mongolian in the south of the desert." Liu Zongzhou roughly analyzed the relationship between the major forces in Mongolian in the south of the desert and the plots of the Later Jin Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty and Mongolia are old enemies. For more than two hundred years, the border wars continued. During the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia violated the border almost every year and fought countless wars. If Mongolia had not split into three major divisions and had many conflicts in each division, the Ming Dynasty could adopt a policy of differentiation and win over, which made it difficult for the strong enemy to threaten the inner abdomen of the Central Plains.
After seeing Zhu Yinglong listening to his analysis, Liu Zongzhou still pondered and continued: "Emperor, since Tumote Bushitu Jinong's death, Tumote has almost collapsed, and the court has never enthroned King Shunyi again. The old minister is thinking of enthroning Bai Yan as King Shunyi..."
