Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 721 King Kong
The recovery of Beijing dealt the heaviest blow to the Tartars, and it also made everyone see clearly the reality of the Mantars. They are no longer the fearsome and powerful army outside the customs who were good at cavalry and archery in the early years. The miscellaneous brands under Emperor Shaotian, such as national horses and national pillars, can't beat them.

The Jurchens who once claimed to be invincible, powerful in Mongolia, swept North Korea and oppressed Ming Dynasty, are now at the end of their lives.

The imperial court supported the Ming Dynasty and opposed the Qing Dynasty a few years ago, and Mobei Mongolia and Moxi Mongolia also began to pay tribute to Jiubai two years ago, proclaiming their ministers and paying tribute.

And this year, Monan Mongolia and even Yarkand, a descendant of Chagatai, have been added to the tribute Mongols.

Last autumn, at the beginning, it was only the Six Banners of Ordos who sent missions to Beijing to pay tribute. At the end of the year, when the Ming army conquered Beijing, swept through the pass, and completely recovered the Great Wall, all the Mongolian tribes in Monan could not sit still.

Lindan Khan's son, Prince Abunai of Chahar, disregarded the dissuasion of his wife Huang Taiji's second daughter Gulun Wenzhuang eldest princess Makata, and personally took his children from Yizhou in western Liaoning to Shanhaiguan to bow down and ask for submission, and not only sent many cattle and sheep Horses, and asked him to come to Tokyo to pay tribute.

Regardless of the cold weather, he rushed all the way to arrive before the year before and participated in the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting.

Chahar was originally the headquarters of Mongolia, and Lin Dan Khan, the last great Khan of Mongolia, was in command of Chahar. He once united with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but in the end, all his relatives and relatives died of illness in Qinghai. His wife and son led the troops back to Hetao. Surrendered after defeat.

In the end, the Huang Taiji brothers married Lin Danhan's wife and concubine, and even adopted his daughter, and let Lin Danhan's son Ezhe lead Chahar to move to Yizhou in western Liaoning.

The Sunite, Ujumqin, Haoqite, Keshiketeng, Aohan, and Naiman branches of the Chahar Department all set up separate banners and formed alliances.

The headquarters once led by the Great Khan of Mongolia also withered after this. However, in order to appease Mongolia, the Tatars still gave some preferential treatment to Chahar. It is between the chief manager's banner and the Zasak banner.

Chahar has a lot of autonomy, and the tribal leader is a prince, while the leader of the Six Banners in Ordos is only a county king.

Chahar has greater autonomy. Abnai is the posthumous son of Lin Dan Khan. His elder brother died seven years ago. Abnai was ordered to take charge of Chahar affairs. According to Mongolian customs, he married his sister-in-law, the second daughter of Huang Taiji. Makata, the eldest princess of Gulun Wenzhuang, is his wife. Last year, he was crowned prince.

When the Qing Dynasty conquered Chahar, they were placed in Yizhou, divided into left and right wings, named Ezhe as Prince Chahar, and married his second daughter to him.

After Lin Dan Khan’s Eight Great Fortunes surrendered, Huang Taiji married Dou Tumen Fujin and Nangnang Fujin as his concubines, Jierharang married the Queen Mother of Dafujin Sutai (the mother of Ezhe), and Nangnang Fujin gave birth to Lin Dan Khan’s posthumous son Abnai .

After Ezhe's death, Abu Nai took over the title and married his sister-in-law Makata.

Originally, the relationship was quite close, but in fact, from Ezhe to Abunai, they have always been full of hatred for Houjin. They claim that the Jin family is orthodox, and Houjin conquered Monan Mongolia, killed their father, and robbed them. Mother, this kind of enmity cannot be resolved by this kind of reward.

In the Kangxi period in history, when Abnai's son became a prince, he immediately led the Chahar tribe to respond to the rebellion of the San Francisco in the Central Plains, but it was a pity that he was defeated in the end.

Not only did Abu Nai come to Tokyo to pay tribute in person, he also brought Akata, and even brought Akata's two children with his brother, and the two children with him, and packed them up for delivery. Give it to the emperor.

Abu Nai is the posthumous son of Lin Dan Khan. His father died before he was born. He was only 16 years old at the time, but this young man hated Man Qing very much. When he met Zhu Yihai, he even said bluntly that if the emperor allowed him, he could do it himself. Killed Akata and the four children she had borne to their brothers.

He does not recognize bloodlines tainted by the Jurchens.

Abney gave him the impression that he was a bit extreme, but he was very aware of current affairs.

He was also eager to get rid of the Jurchen's control, and even hoped to use the power of Daming to revive the prestige of the Golden Family and command the Mongolian tribes again.

For the young Prince Chahar, Zhu Yihai saw through his ambition at a glance.

But for Zhu Yihai, this young man's undisguised ambition is helpful to Daming and can be better utilized.So he happily accepted Huang Taiji's second daughter.

He also accepted Chahar's attachment, and Zhu Yihai also granted him the titles of Chahar Khan, King of Daming Songmo County, and Governor of Songmo Governor's Mansion.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Songmo Dudu Mansion was established in the territory of the Khitan people, and the Khitan Khan was given the surname Li, and he married the princess, and set up the Dudu Mansion.

Zhu Yihai also set up the Songmo Protectorate in the Saramulun River Basin to the north of Chifeng, which is of great significance.

At the beginning of Lin Dan Khan's succession to the throne, the Waziertu Chahanhot City, named King Kong White City in Chinese, was built on the Abagahala Ula Mountain north of the Saramulun River, and the Jindingbai Temple was also built.

Using this as the capital, let the heads of various Mongolian ministries go to Chahanhot for court meetings on a regular basis, which not only strengthens the ties between the various ministries, but also increases the prestige of the Great Khan.

This Vajra White City is located at the southern foot of Daxing'an Mountains, a hilly and grassland area, which is a treasure land of geomantic omen.

There is a river in the south of the city, and there are many peaks such as Chaganhua Mountain. The north of the city is a vast grassland, and there are Abaga Mountains in the north. A valley in the east of the city becomes a natural passage from the Mongolian Plateau to the Songliao Plain. There are natural advantages in activities.

From Baicheng to the north, you can easily and quickly reach Mobei, which ensures the control of Mobei Mongolia and enables it to have a stable rear. It can also control large areas of natural and fine pastures such as Hulunbeier and Horqin, which is conducive to the development and growth of nomadic Mongolian tribes.

From Baicheng to the west, there are Bahrain, Keshigten and other places between the Mongolian right wing as a strategic buffer, and for Lin Dan Khan, it is also a bridgehead for the Mongolian right wing.

The location of Baicheng is as far south as the border of the Ming Dynasty, and about the same distance as going west to the border of Houjin.

It's just that Hou Jin rose too fast and was too powerful. Lin Dan Khan didn't stay in Baicheng for long. Facing the disobedient Mongolian tribes and the serious threat of Hou Jin, Lin Dan Khan finally had to move west to conquer the right-wing Mongolia. In line with the strategy of fighting against the outside world, we must first secure the inside, pick the weak persimmons first, and attack Tumed, Ordos, etc., and it is also convenient for Xuanfuhua and Mingong City.

The idea is also correct, but when the three kingdoms of Ming, Jin, and Mongolia were fighting for hegemony, he didn't want to appease and unite the Mongolian tribes. Instead, he moved westward to attack the right-wing Mongolia. The left-wing tribes in the Liaodong area were conquered and wooed by Hou Jin, and separated from Chahar.

So the more Lin Danhan did, the worse he failed, and eventually died of illness in Qinghai.

Abu Nai has never been to Baicheng, but when he was very young, he heard his retainers talk about the beauty of Baicheng and the richness there. It is more beautiful than the outside of Xuanfu where they moved to the south, and even Guihua City, Qinghai and other places later. There are more and more aquatic plants, which are suitable for grazing.

He wants to go back to Baicheng.

And Zhu Yihai drew this cake for him.

The guardians of the Songmo Dufu Mansion will let them return to their hometown of Chahanhot to nomad when they defeat the Jianlu together.

Although Zhu Yihai didn't directly canonize him as the Great Khan of Mongolia, he was very satisfied with the canonization of Chahar Khan, Songmo County King, and Songmo Duhu.

What's more, after he sacrificed his wife, Zhu Yihai also gave him a princess.

Although the emperor directly told him that this princess of Shunyi was a righteous daughter, Abnai didn't care, it was enough that she was a princess of Ming Dynasty.

Because of this marriage, the emperor also gave Abu Nai's son-in-law a captain.

Zhu Yihai had previously accepted the two daughters of Lin Dan Khan sent by the Qing court to enter the palace, and they were also Abu Nai's brother-in-law, but now he married his adoptive daughter to him as the princess, but Abu Nai didn't think there was any problem.

The marriage customs of the Mongolians are different from those in the Central Plains, and they have even practiced the system of adoptive marriage. The wives and concubines of the father and brother, as long as they are not their own mothers, can be married.

This is a happy marriage with relatives, and the same tribute marriage with Chahar is Erdos Jinong Elinchen.

Elinchen sent his daughter to the palace and sent his son as a hostage. Zhu Yihai reciprocated and named him Jinong of Ordos, the king of Jiuyuan County, the governor of Jiuyuan Dufu, and also married a righteous daughter, Princess Huaihua, and gave him the title of Prince Consort. .

The Six Banners of the Ordos Department was changed to the Ordos Six Dudu Mansion, and the leaders of the Six Banners were named Dudu.

The left and right wings of Chahar were changed to the eight governors' mansions of Chahar, and eight princes were granted the title of governors.

Today, one east and one west, the Ordos Six Banners are still nomadic in the Hetao area outside the Northern Shaanxi Pass, while the Chahar Eight Banners are still nomadic in the Liaoxi area outside the Shanhaiguan Pass.

There were many Mongolian tribal envoys who came to Monan to pay tribute this time, but Ordos and Chahar were the most active, thorough and happy.

The rewards and returns obtained are of course the most.

Others, such as the Khalkha Right Wing Banner and the Sizi Tribe Banner of the Ulan Chabu League, and the Tumed Two Wing Banner and the Karaqin Two Wing Banner of the Zhuosuotu League, although they have also sent people to come, but they still sit on the fence. the meaning of.

As for the flags of Kerr, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, and Guoerluosi, they only sent some secret envoys secretly, and they were not even willing to make it public.

Zhu Yihai didn't care about it, and when the Daming soldiers left the customs, they would know how to choose sides.

Although they only sent secret envoys and Zhu Yihai did not reveal their identities, he still gave them warm hospitality and even gave them a secret order.

Retain the pastures and boundaries of each banner, set up the guard and the governor's mansion, take the leader of the alliance as the guard, take the banner Zasak as the governor, and confer the title of Earl Marquis.

Apart from this title, the most essential thing that Zhu Yihai discussed with the various ministries this time was the tribute trade. Even if they wavered temporarily and were unwilling to turn against the Qing Dynasty, it didn't matter, let's do business first.

Cattle, sheep, livestock, fur and medicinal materials can all be traded at the Great Wall border. Daming is also willing to sell salt, tea, tobacco, alcohol, ironware and cloth to them.

In the past, Daming liked to use the means of economic blockade and city ban to attack Mongolia, but Zhu Yihai felt that this method was a double-edged sword. In fact, Daming was large in size and had an active advantage. Instead of economic blockade, it would be more beneficial to Ming.

The more they are sealed off, the poorer they are, and the poorer they are, the more they rob. However, the ban on the market in Ming Dynasty will reduce tax revenue, affect the industrial and commercial people, increase smuggling trade, even endanger border security, increase military defense expenditure, and so on.

Before Daming, he didn't understand what real economic warfare was, and he simply closed it with a letter, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Trade with various ministries of Monan Mongolia, pull them into chariots, and open up the economy. When these Mongolian princes and nobles enjoy the benefits of cooperating with Daming, they will naturally become more and more inseparable from Daming.

What's more, the trade with Mongolia has always been extremely profitable. Why not make money and collect taxes.
