Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 655: Yan Ermei's Envoy to Jungar
Against Oala, in addition to Huang Zongxi, the emissary team that was responsible for the Heshuo Te Ministry, Daming also sent another emissary team responsible for lobbying the other three Oirat ministries, as well as important small ministries such as the Hui Te Ministry.

The chief envoy of this team is Yan Ermei, the diplomatic envoy previously appointed by Zhu Yuxi.

Although Yan Ermei's team set off a few days earlier than Huang Zongxi and others, they did not arrive at the camp of the Zhungeer Ministry, Boxeri City until the end of November.

Because compared with the Heshuo Special Department, the Zhungeer Department is farther away from Daming.

It must be explained here that the nomadic range of the four major parts of Oala today, or the division of land.

The closest to the Ming Dynasty is the Heshuo Special Department in the southeast of the Oirat Alliance.

It is mainly nomadic in the northern and southern foothills of the central and eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains, and now its power has expanded, involving parts of central Mongolia, parts of the original Daming Guanxi Qiwei, and parts of the extinct Turpan.

The Zhungeer tribe is mainly nomadic in the north of the western Tianshan Mountains and the large area around Jinshan (Altai Mountain).

Today, its territory involves the upper reaches of the Bahe River Basin (south) to the north, the upper reaches of the Yenisei River to the east and Kalkha Mongolia (Mobei Mongolia) as the dividing line, and crosses the Irtysh River to the west and enters the Kazakh grassland , To the southwest, the Kazakhs who believed in Islam were defeated, involving the Seven Rivers Basin.

In the northwest, it occupied the area on both sides of the middle reaches of the Irtysh River, and fought with the Russians many times here.

As for the other two ministries, Turhut and Durbert, they were both taken away by the nomadic space squeezed by the Zhungeer Ministry.

Duerbot was originally in the upper reaches of the Eight Rivers north of the Zhungeer tribe, and some other small Oala tribes were adjacent to Khalkha Mongolia in the east.

However, due to the expansion of the Zhungeer Department to the north, the Duerbert Department was forced to split and divided into two parts, the East and the West.

The eastern part moved directly to the Horqin Grassland and became part of the Horqin Tribe of Mongolia. That is, the leader became a great nobleman of the Horqin Tribe. Later, he followed the Qing captives into the Ming Dynasty many times, and conquered the wild Jurchen tribes to the east to solve the rebellion of the grassland tribes, etc. , Made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.

The western part of Durbot, together with the Turghut tribe and some other small tribes, were oppressed to the northwest and migrated to the lower reaches of the Volga River.

The two ministries of Duerbot and Turhut are really far away from Daming, so they are not the main targets of Yan Ermei's mission.

The main target of his lobbying is the Zhungeer Ministry.

Then there are the more important subsections of Wala such as Huit.

As for Qinghai-Tibet Gushi Khan, the third team of envoys was in charge—the imperial court did not expect much from this team of envoys.

One Gushikhan is the uncle of Oqiertu, and the Heshuote tribe and the Heshuote Khanate are basically brothers of the same mother.

Second, the Heshuote Khanate had invaded the chieftain forces affiliated to Daming in the southwest of Sichuan, and had a territorial dispute with Daming.

Unless Gushi Khan treats the Qing Dynasty in the same way as in the history of later generations, and directly submits the form to submit in name, there will be a battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Heshuote Khanate in the Sichuan-Tibet border area sooner or later.

As for the success rate of lobbying the Zhungeer Ministry, no matter whether it is the imperial court or Yan Ermei and other diplomatic envoys, it is hard to say. You have to try it to know...

"Yan Ermei, the diplomatic envoy of the Ming Dynasty, met Batur Huntaiji."

In Boxeri's sweat tent, Yan Ermei performed a prairie etiquette to He Duoheqin with a slight bow.

He Duo and Qin also knew Chinese and didn't need an interpreter. Seeing this, they laughed in Chinese and said, "It's really rare that the Ming envoy understands our etiquette and is willing to salute me."

Yan Ermei smiled slightly and said, "Just do as the Romans do."

"Do as the Romans do," He Duo and Qin tasted this idiom, "The culture of the Han people is really broad and profound."

Then, He Duoheqin invited Yan Ermei and Liu Xi, the foreign counselor who was the deputy envoy, to sit down, and they offered wine, kumiss, barbecue, snacks, etc., and the entertainment was very rich.

But He Duo and Qin didn't like going around in circles like the Han people, so they quickly asked, "I don't know why the envoy came here?"

"In September, Oqiertu led more than 1 cavalrymen from the Heshuote Troops to attack our Daming Gansu Town Yisuo, intending to cross the side wall and enter the bandits to plunder.

In the end, I was defeated by the frontier general of the Ming Dynasty at Huangfengkou, losing five or six thousand horses.

The Heshuote Department was originally a friendly neighbor of the Ming Dynasty, and they exchanged information on transportation and got along well with each other, but Eqiertu invaded the border for no reason. His Majesty was furious when he heard about this, and he wanted to send an army to wipe out the Heshuote Department.

But thinking about the difficulty of living in the grassland, I am going to give the Heshuo special department a chance..."

Immediately, Yan Ermei made it clear that Daming asked Oqiertu to send his son as a hostage and apologized.

Finally, he said: "I am worried that Oqiertu will be dissatisfied and will drag other tribes of Oara into the flames of war, so I sent us to visit Zhungeer and other Oirat tribes. My own grievances have destroyed the peace and friendship between Wala and my Daming for many years."

Wala and Daming have indeed maintained peace for hundreds of years, but if they say they are friendly to each other, whoever believes is stupid.

200 years ago, Wala also came to power first, almost unifying the entire prairie, not to mention invading Daming, and even captured Daming Baozong alive.

If it weren't for Yu Qian, Daming would have been beaten into Nanming by Wala 200 years in advance.

Later, Daming succeeded in defending the capital, but also retreated first. A few years later, he was assassinated because he was too domineering.

Then Wala, who was powerful for a while, started civil strife and went downhill.

It took nearly a hundred years for Wala to become stronger again.

The reason why it has maintained peace with Daming for nearly a hundred years is entirely because there were almost no forces bordering on it before.

It wasn't until several decades ago that the Turpan and Kansai Seven Guards, which served as intermediate buffer forces, died one after another, and the Heshuo Special Department, which became one of the leaders of the Wara League, bordered on the Ming Dynasty, and there were conflicts of interest.

However, the Zhungeer Ministry still does not border on the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, if the Zhungeer Ministry wanted to trade with Daming, it had to let the Heshuo Special Ministry act as a middleman to make the difference.

In addition, the Zhungeer tribe is the old overlord of Wala, and it can even be said to be the royal family of Wala.However, the Heshuo Special Department is an emerging overlord, and is now listed as the leader of the Wara Alliance along with the Zhungeer Department.

The two are conflicting interests.

But many things cannot be viewed from the perspective of pure interests.

No, after hearing Yan Ermei's words, He Duoheqin laughed and said, "Does Mingshi know what kind of relationship I have with Eqiertu?"

Yan Ermei came prepared, with the intelligence support of Beizhen Fusi and Military Intelligence Department. Hearing this, she smiled slightly and said, "Of course I know. I heard that Huitaiji married his daughter to Eqiertu."

He Duoheqin said: "I not only married my daughter to Oqiertu, but also took the daughter of his uncle Gushi Khan. In addition, Oqiertu's father, Baibagas, is my good friend. (brother).

Our relationship, according to what you Han people say, should be regarded as very close relatives.

The Ming Dynasty is going to fight with the Heshuo Special Forces, and I'm afraid it can't be justified if I don't want to help. "

Yan Ermei's smile remained unchanged, her expression indifferent, "I heard that Hun Taiji has more than a dozen sons, and there must be more daughters, so what is a son-in-law?

As for the daughter of Gush Khan——Although Gush Khan is Oqiertu's uncle, he is as old as you, so I'm afraid he may not be willing to fight against Ming because of Oqiertu's selfishness.

What's more, as far as I know, you also married the daughter of Orlek Khan in Mobei Mongolia.

Therefore, the kinship you mentioned is nothing in the face of the interests of the Zhungeer Ministry. "

When He Duo and Qin heard these words, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes, apparently they did not expect that Daming knew so much about him.

This made him feel valued, but at the same time less secure.

After thinking for a while, He Duo and Qin said again: "I heard that you Han people have an idiom called 'the lips are dead and the teeth are cold'.

The Heshuote Department is between our Zhungeer Department and Ming Dynasty, and the three generations of Oqiertu have been the leader of Oala with our Zhungeer Department.

If the Heshuo Special Department is wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the Zhungeer Department is also in danger, right? "

Before Yan Ermei came here, she had studied a lot about the hero who made the Zhungeer tribe stronger again. She knew that He Duo and Qin were very wise people, and they must be very difficult to deal with.

But when he actually faced it, he still found that the difficulties with Duo and Qin exceeded his expectations.

Although he felt that He Duo and Qin were difficult to deal with, Yan Ermei looked calm and said: "First of all, I have to remind Huitaiji that as long as Oqiertu agrees to send his son as a hostage and apologize, I will not send troops to fight against him.

Again, I would also like to tell Hui Taiji an idiom - 'distance and near attack'.I heard that your Ministry has been in conflict with the Russians in the Northwest, and has repeatedly defeated the Russian invasion.

In fact, Russia not only invaded your ministry in Moxi, but also invaded the territory of the wild Jurchens in the Far East.

My son of Ming Dynasty is determined to destroy the Qing Dynasty and restore the homeland of the Far East, so sooner or later my Ming Dynasty and the Russians will have a war.

Russia is your immediate enemy, and I, Ming, are distant friends who are separated from your ministry by the Heshuo Special Ministry. Shouldn't we unite to deal with the Russians?How can they be enemies of each other because of Oziltu's selfishness?
I heard that the Russians mostly use muskets. If Huntaiji promises not to send troops to help Oziltu, and to restrain other small tribes from participating in this matter, I, Ming, can present a batch of matchlock guns to your ministry to show my sincerity in establishing friendship . "

　First more.

　　(Looking at the information of the four major departments of Oirat (Wala) and the leaders at that time, I was dizzy when I found it. Sorry for the late update.)
　　Correct the typo later.
