In the Yar area at the foot of Talbahatai Mountain, there are endless pastures, but only more than 5,000 tents are sparsely dotted.
They are subordinates of Gonbutaiji of the Torgut tribe.
When Orlek Khan led most of the Erhut territory to move westward, Gunbu's father and several other Taijis were reluctant to leave the grassland where their ancestors had lived for generations, and led their own Otok to stay.
If you want to stay, you will have to face the strong Junggar people in the Moxi grassland. This is an unavoidable problem.
It was easy to handle. They thought of a simple and practical method: rely on the strong. Since they couldn't defeat the Junggars, they defected to the Junggars. First they defected to Batur, and later they became Sengge and Galdan's die-hard loyalists.
p>
The Mongols believe in the strong, and it is not shameful to be the younger brother of the Dzungars. They even lived a comfortable life. Apart from paying some taxes to the Dzungars, they were not bullied by others. If the Rakshasa or Kazakhs came to rob them,
If they want to plunder, the Junggar eldest brother will send troops to support. Of course, when the Junggar eldest brother fights with others, they will also send troops to help and grab some loot.
Unfortunately, just a few years after the prosperous days, the powerful Junggar tribe was actually attacked and destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.
Gunbu suddenly found himself in an extremely disadvantageous situation. He was on the wrong team, which was very dangerous!
Although he immediately changed his stance, paid tribute to His Majesty Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, swore allegiance, and even agreed to establish households, pay taxes, and implement the "Ming Law", he seemed to have gained His Majesty's understanding. But somehow, he always
He felt like there was a bright knife on his neck, making him sleepless and uneasy.
In order to flatter His Majesty the Emperor and keep his wealth and power, he tried his best to please the Ming Dynasty. This is also the way for small tribes to survive. They must find a strong big brother to rely on. The Junggar tribe is in trouble.
Then rely on the Ming Dynasty.
It's a pity that he couldn't get in. The Ming Dynasty didn't seem to like him very much. On the contrary, he favored and trusted the Huite tribe Taiji Erdantes, and even made him a count.
In fact, Erdante did not make any great achievements. He just sent some troops to help the Ming Dynasty defeat Galdan. He also suffered a big loss in the battle of Kuitun Peak. He pretended to be dead and only escaped with his life. Misfortune depends on blessing!
Such a trivial matter actually reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor. From time to time, His Majesty the Emperor publicly said: How loyal is Eldante of the Huite Tribe! He almost lost his life in order to be loyal to me! He transferred a large number of people who originally belonged to the Junggar Tribe.
Pasture was awarded to the Huite Department.
Gunbu looked at Erdantesh with jealousy and envied him for his good luck. After being defeated, he gained the favor of the Ming Emperor. In fact, he did not know that this was just a means for the cunning Zhu Hengjia to divide and disintegrate the Mongolian tribes. Support
The weak ones suppressed the strong ones, and at the same time set an example to let the Taiji tribes in the Moxi tribes see that if they were loyal to the Ming Emperor, they would have meat to eat. The old emperor conquered all the Moxi tribes with a few tricks.
Be obedient.
"Taiji, Punchuk Khan sent someone to deliver a letter to you." On this day, Gunbu was thinking about paying tribute to the Ming Emperor, when news came from his subordinates about Torgut.
For more than thirty years, although most of the Torgut tribe moved westward, the connection with the small tribe that stayed in their hometown has not been broken. The two sides often exchanged letters. After all, they are the same people, and their broken bones are connected to their tendons.
Gunbu opened the letter and suddenly danced with joy and laughed heartily.
"Taiji, what did Punchuk Khan write in his letter? Why are you so happy?" asked Zuo Zuo.
"You don't know, I am going to make a meritorious service in front of the Holy Master, a great meritorious service!"
??
"Gunbu, the envoy commanded by the Tuergut tribe, paid a hundred bows to congratulate His Majesty:
The emperor's destiny is destined to govern all directions. The phoenix perches on the phoenix tree, so hundreds of birds come to court; the tiger roars on the high hill, so all the beasts crouch. The holy virtues are spread, and all nations are forever enriched with culture; the emperor's benevolence spreads widely, and the eight birthdays of Xiansu
Etiquette. The Holy Emperor is in the court, so Punchuk, the minister of Torgut, traveled thousands of miles to join China.
In the past, various tribes in the Western Desert were competing for power. Ministers Torgut and Orlek were unable to win the battle with Hutaiji Batur of Junggar. They moved westward in anger and established their own country thousands of miles away from China. They left their hometown and left their hometown.
Thirty-three years have passed!
I am here to guard the Western Wilderness. I don’t know the destiny, and I have a wild and rebellious nature. I arbitrarily attached myself to Galdan to resist the imperial dynasty. My sin is so heinous that I will never be forgiven even if I die. Your Majesty is merciful and pardons my sins. I am appointed as the commander of the local guards. I am not an animal.
There are also people who are grateful and want to repay His Majesty. Therefore, I wrote a letter to Pengchuk, the grandson of Orlak, and persuaded him to surrender with loyalty. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. I got Pengchuk's handwritten letter the day before yesterday, and I am willing to lead all the people to travel through mountains and rivers.
,Subordinate to the Ming Dynasty.
This is our emperor's great blessing, so people from far away come to join us in the opera! The sea accepts all rivers, and the tolerance is great! Come to Tongting, and give three shouts to praise; Ban Lianlu builds it, and all of them kowtow to worship Yang. Your Majesty the Emperor,
He rules the world, treats everyone equally, takes care of all things in the world, his path runs through hundreds of kings, his majesty overflows throughout the universe, and his benevolence and virtue abound in the wilderness.
The ministers are dedicated to their duties, devoted to their destiny, and dedicated to their virtues, so as to drive forward. Like the grace of heaven, they will never be forgotten; the feelings from the bottom of their hearts are beyond words. I wish that I can only uphold the principles, and the good fortune will be prosperous, and the Jin Ou will be eternal.
If the sun rises, I would like to express my congratulations to you. It is September 6, the ninth year of Guangwu."
??
"Okay, okay! This Gunbu has really made great contributions to me! I will reward him heavily! Hahaha." When he first saw the congratulations on the Gunbu, Zhu Hengjia was so happy that he kept saying
Praise Gunbu for his loyalty and the things he does beautifully, and reward him generously.
In his congratulations, Gunbu shamelessly returned most of Torgut to the east, saying that it was the result of his persuasion in writing. Zhu Hengjia did believe it at first, but after all, he was a great emperor who had gone through countless bloody battles. Insight
A master of people's hearts, the old emperor soon felt that something was wrong. This matter may not be as simple as Gunbu said.
First of all, most of the Turgut people, under the leadership of He Orlek, moved to the lower reaches of the Volga River and established their own country for three generations and thirty-three years. It can be said that they have laid a solid foundation in the local area.
, why should they come back? I heard that the pseudo-Qing Emperor Shunzhi sent people to persuade them to come back many times, but they refused. Is Ergonbu really so proud that he would come back as soon as he persuaded them? If he really had such great dignity, why didn't he come back?
Is the Qing Dynasty recruiting them?
Furthermore, I have just defeated the Junggar tribe, and there is no particularly strong tribe in the west of the desert. The Turghut people will not come back sooner or later, but they want to come back at this moment. Are they sincerely surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, or are they coming to rob the Junggar tribe?
Trying to dominate the territory of other people? If I take in the Turghut people, will I raise tigers and cause trouble to our descendants a few years later?
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiangjia had the intention not to take in the Turgut people, but it was impossible not to take them in. China is a country of etiquette, and people from far away came from thousands of miles away to seek refuge. To refuse them was too unbearable for a large country.
When he was in a dilemma, he thought of his number one adviser, Zheng Feng. When he was indecisive, he would ask Zheng Feng. This was a habit he had developed over the years.
Academician Zheng was summoned to Qianqing Palace. After hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "This is easy to hear. Regardless of whether Punchuk surrendered sincerely or pretended to surrender, you must be prepared to deploy troops on the border to monitor closely.
As soon as the Torguts arrived, they immediately organized them into households and resettled them in various places. This way, they would not be afraid of their tricks."
"Well, what Zheng Qing said is that when friends come, there is good wine, and if wolves come, they will be greeted with swords and guns," Zhu Hengjia said fiercely.
