Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 565 Combining ancient and modern times to trace the origin

What tribes are there in the Oirat Mongolian Tribal Alliance?How did the Heshuote Khanate emerge?

Such questions about the Western Regions could not be answered simply by relying on the information collected from Daming's military intelligence agencies.

Aimee Zhu figured out the origin and composition of these "neighbors" in the Western Regions by combining many relevant materials found by later generations.

Speaking of it, the Heshuote tribe, the predecessor of the Heshuote Khanate, also belonged to the Oirat Alliance, but it was very different from other major tribes in the Oirat Alliance.

This involves the origin of the Oirat tribal alliance.

Oirat is actually a noun transliterated according to the local language in the later Qing Dynasty, and sometimes it is also called Erut.On Daming's side, the Oirat Alliance has a very familiar name for Ming people-Waci!
The earliest record about Wacha is that it was nomadic in the Bahe area (Yenisei River) during the Tang Dynasty, and it was already an alliance composed of many tribes, which was called Wacha in the Tang Dynasty.

When the Tang Dynasty was strong, Wacha had been attached to it many times, but failed; Wacha had also repeatedly attacked the tribes in the northwest of the Western Regions that belonged to the Tang Dynasty, but also failed to achieve much results.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Wacha began to go south, settled in the foothills of the Altai Mountains and the Selenge River Basin, and continued to go south in the following years, and gradually became the Northern Tianshan Tribal Alliance centered on the Junggar Basin.

At that time, it was called Woyici in the Yuan Dynasty, and there were also names such as Woyiciti and Waici in Chinese literature, but they were all transliterations. Later, the Ming Dynasty also followed the transliteration into Waci.

Because Oach was not weak at the time, since Genghis Khan unified Mongolia, he adopted a marriage policy to win over, so Oach always believed that it was in a parallel relationship with Mongolia, not a part of Mongolia.

Afterwards, the Yuan Dynasty perished, and it was difficult for the Northern Yuan Dynasty to rule the entire prairie, so Wacha really became stronger.

During the reign of Yongle, Cheng Zu once commanded troops to conquer the western Mongolia in the north, and beat the tiles to become a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

It is a pity that after the Renxuan rule, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty was obviously weakened, and Wacha took the opportunity to grow bigger again, and then seized the opportunity, and there was a battle of civil forts that shocked the world.

Because it is a tribal alliance, although Wacha has experienced repeated rises and falls, it has always existed, but its internal core tribes have changed occasionally.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were only three of the four major ministries (ten thousand households) inherited from the Yuan Dynasty, namely Zhungeer (also known as Chuoros), Durbert, and Turhut.

The Zhungeer and Turhut tribes here are quite famous in later generations, which shows the strong vitality of their tribes.

The ancestors of the Heshuote tribe were nomadic in the north of Mobei and the southwest of Lake Baikal at the earliest. The ancestor of the leader can be traced back to Genghis Khan's younger brother Hasar.

Since the Renxuan period of the Great Ming Dynasty, the military strength has declined significantly, and the Tatar (Northern Yuan) power has expanded, forcing Wuliangha Sanwei to move southward from the original station.

(Sanwei was originally located in the southeast of Daxing'an Mountains, now in the west of Heilongjiang, and the northernmost Fuyuwei is probably in the lower reaches of Nenjiang today.)
During this process, Duoyanwei and Tainingwei were eventually annexed by Tatars (in fact, the above-mentioned defection to Tatars), Fuyuwei was forced to move south to the north of Guangningwei, the upper reaches of the Liaohe River .

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Fuyuwei was annexed by Horqin Mongolia.

The ancestor of the Heshuote tribe was the second son of Fuyu Khan, Uruketmur, who left due to the failure of the fight for the Khan position and the uneven distribution of property during the process of Fuyuwei's southward migration.

He led a small group of Fuyu Guards to move westward, and defected to Tuohuan, the leader of the Zhungeer tribe, the leader of the Wacha Alliance, and was named Heshuote.And get a daughter who is happy, called his son-in-law.

As a result, Heshuote became a tribe of the Wacha Alliance, and it will continue to grow and develop in the next hundred years.

It first became one of the four core tribes of Oach, and in the late Wanli period, the power of the Heshuote tribe even surpassed that of the Jungar tribe, and was elected as the new leader by the tribes of Oach.

However, the Zhungeer tribe refused to accept it—because the Zhungeer tribe was favored by Heshuo, the leader at the time, that is, the grandfather of Gushi Khan, was unwilling to meet with the Jungar tribe, so he proposed that both tribes be the leader , Govern the Wacha Alliance.

As a result, Wathorn has a tendency to split.

However, in the following decades, in order to alleviate internal conflicts, the Heshuo Special Department united with the Yarkand Khanate and annexed Turpan and the Chibuci Department derived from the original Kansai Seven Guards.

In the late Ming Dynasty, it was Gushi Khan's turn to play.

This person's experience can be called a legend - he was not the successor of Heshuote Khan, he rode alone in his youth to resolve the conflict between Wacha and Khalkha Mongolia in the north of Qinghai, and gained the living Buddha of the Yellow Sect and the tribes of Khalkha to become a "big country" This is why he was later called Gushi Khan (transliteration of Guoshi Khan).

Later, his elder brother was killed, and he inherited the position of Khan and the leader of the Wacha League.

In 1634 AD, civil strife broke out in the Zangba Khanate. The fourth Panchen Lama and the fifth Dalai Lama of the Yellow Sect jointly sent a letter, asking them to send troops to help.

So Gushri Khan sent troops in 1637. In five years, he first destroyed the Zangba Khan regime, then occupied the Xikang area, and established the Heshuote Khanate, which looked quite vast on the map.

The most important thing is that Gushi Khan is also the leader of Wacha (Oirat)!

At this time, Auntie Zhu stood in front of the map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and drew a large circle in the west with the teaching stick brought from Hao Guangming.

It can be clearly seen that later generations of Inner Mongolia, western Outer Mongolia, central and northern Xinjiang, and the Qinghai-Tibet region were all under the rule of Gushri Khan!

Just looking at the territory on the map, its territory is even larger than that of Daming today!

Through the phone camera, Hao Guangming found that Auntie Zhu was looking at the map without moving for a long time, and then contacted the two of them who had been looking for information about the Heshuote Khanate in the past few days, so he knew that Auntie Zhu was worried about this powerful neighbor in the west of Ming Dynasty.

He thought for a while, and persuaded: "You don't have to worry too much about the threat of Gushi Khan, his rule over Wacha is mostly in name, after all, there is a Zhungeer tribe who ruled with him.

In addition, this person is 64 years old, no matter how talented he is, he is also old.If his fate does not change, he will die in at most ten years.

Once he died, the centripetal force of the Heshuote Khanate would not be so strong. Under external pressure, internal chaotic factors broke out, and it was likely to fall apart. "

Auntie Zhu looked directly at the map and said, "However, He Shuote surrendered to the Qing Kingdom ten years ago. Theoretically, the territory of the Qing Kingdom now also includes the Khanate."

Hao Guangming laughed when he heard this, "Theoretically, Mobei Mongolia has also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty—you should know that Gushi Khan's submission to the Qing Dynasty is just a means of making distant and close attacks, at most it can be regarded as a vassal of the Qing Dynasty.

And that was when the Qing Dynasty was strong and powerful. Now that the Qing Dynasty has been beaten by you, even the two Han kings under him are hard to control. If you can't get out of Liaodong, what are you worried about? "

While Hao Guangming was speaking, all the courtiers from the Military Affairs Council filed in.

Not only the military ministers such as supervisors and assistant ministers, but also the doctors and principals of various divisions, and even several new scholars who were interns in the Military Affairs Academy hung at the tail of the team and entered the Hall of Martial Arts.

In addition to Zhang Huangyan, whom Aimee Zhu negotiated with the cabinet ministers on the day of the imperial examination, there were also Chen Bangyan and Yan Ermei who were promoted by Aimee Zhu to be interns at the Military Affairs Academy.

Because Auntie Zhu was standing in front of the huge map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Huangyan and the three of them couldn't help but immediately set their eyes on the map as soon as they entered.

This was the first time they had seen such a huge, comprehensive, and detailed map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they immediately felt a sense of shock.

However, after the shock, Zhang Huangyan and Yan Ermei, who had fairly good eyesight, saw clearly the actual control territory of Da Ming above, and they immediately frowned, thinking: How can my Da Ming territory be so small?Can this still be called Daming?

　　【Description】

　　Although I searched a lot of information for a long time yesterday, I still got some of the content wrong. The seven guards of Kansai do not include the Suzhou guards, but refer to the seven guards west of Jiayuguan. Annexed by Turpan.

　　Also, the correct name of Duoyan Sanwei should be "Wuliangha Sanwei".

　　Finally, the fishing sea is not Lake Baikal! (I’ve been reading history books for more than ten years, but I’ve been reading them wrong all the time, woo hoo), but Beier Lake (in the southwest of the Hulunbuir Grassland), a word difference, it’s been a long time since I’ve been mistaken!
　　These previous texts have been changed.

　　This chapter was written for four hours, and it was another thankless chapter.But I also feel that some things must be written clearly.

　　Otherwise, some readers of historical texts, like the author, may have been confused and misunderstood for more than ten years,,,

　　I can only try my best to make the text descriptions of these dry goods more interesting.

　　It can be regarded as learning and progressing together in history.

　　【Let’s talk about Mongolia】

　　It is said in the source text of Wacha, also known as Western Mongolia and Moxi Mongolia. They actually don’t think they are Mongolians, but Wacha (la) (Oirat) people (in fact, they all have the same pronunciation, does it look like Ula? ).

　　Its actual meaning is: the people in the forest, or the neighbors. (In ancient times, nomadic people were divided into grassland people and forest people.)
　　The real Mongolia is Eastern Mongolia (or Central Mongolia) and Mobei and Monan Mongolia. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, it was first called Beiyuan together with Wacha, and later became Wacha and Tatar.

　　Tatar later split into Mobei, Monan, and Eastern Mongolian tribes.
