"In fact, the Choros family was completely supported by four generations of Taizu, Chengzu, Renzong, and Xuanzong. The relationship between the two families was good in the early days. The two parties had close contacts. This is why they were able to have so many connections and fine work in the Ming Dynasty.
The reason." Zhang Shize said.
"At that time, Emperor Taizu had great plans and recognized that the Yuan Dynasty had received the Mandate of Heaven and was the orthodox Chinese dynasty. The Ming Dynasty succeeded the Yuan Dynasty and continued to rule the world. The purpose of Taizu's doing this was to inherit the territory and people of the Yuan Dynasty.
If we do not recognize the Yuan Dynasty, we can only say that the Ming Dynasty inherited the legal system of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty did not even have the Central Plains."
"This is a wise move. Taizu is right to do this. China is a multi-ethnic country. Brothers are jealous of each other and resist their insults. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is also known as the Khan of Heaven. He treats people of all ethnic groups equally." Yang Fan
said.
"So, Taizu supported the Choros family, the leader of the Oara people, a branch of the Mongols, to oppose the Kublai Khan family. He used Oara to balance the Tatars and prevent the unification of Mongolia."
"After the support of Taizu, Chengzu, Renzong, and Xuanzong, the Choros family finally became powerful during the reign of Xuanzong. By the Tuohuan period, it had the strength to unify Mongolia. Tuohuan established a member of the Golden Family as the Great Khan
, and then take the emperor to command the princes. When his son comes first, he will fulfill his long-cherished wish."
"At that time, the support for the Choros family was mainly through tribute and trade. When the Choros family came to pay tribute, I, the Ming Dynasty, often rewarded them with ten times the tribute items. This was actually a disguised support for them. We will unify Mongolia first.
, became no longer respectful, and the horses offered as tribute were inferior horses."
"In the early days, there were only a few dozen envoys, but the Ming Dynasty provided food and drink along the way and rewarded people according to their hair. Later, it became more and more outrageous." Zhang Shize curled his lips and said.
"The Ming Dynasty has always adhered to the policy of "reciprocity with small amounts of money" towards Mongolian missions. First of all, the value of the reward items must far exceed the value of Mongolian tribute."
"When the Mongolian envoys returned, they had to enjoy the banquet given by the court. They were accompanied by officials on the way back and prepared meals along the way. The court rewarded those who came to the court according to their number and status. Moreover, this kind of "poor arrival"
The reward policy of “promoting returns” was very attractive to Mongolian missions, and many Mongolian missions doubled the number of missions in order to obtain greater rewards.”
"For example, in the first month of the fourth year of Zhengtong (1439), after the Ming court gave rewards to many Mongolian nobles, in October, Tuotuo Buhua (who was also the Great Khan who preceded his father Tuohuan) once again sent Abdulchi to the court. This time
The number of the envoys suddenly increased from a few hundred to more than a thousand, but the Ming court still gave rewards as usual."
"The Ming Dynasty did not impose restrictions on the number of Mongolian missions, and the policy of rewarding all those who came to the court not only stimulated the greed of some Mongolian leaders, but also laid the groundwork for later false reports of the number of missions. Ying Zong
After Tu Huan died in the fourth year of Zhengtong (1439), his son succeeded him first. He also sent people to pay tribute to the Ming court every winter. At first, the number of envoys sent was only fifty, but later it increased to more than 2,000.
, and repeatedly asked for valuable and rare things.”
Zhang Shize sighed and said: "This is what the saying goes, when you win a favor, you lose a favor."
Yang Fan sneered, these Mongolian Tatars had the same behavior as the Cochin Monkeys of later generations. They gave too much aid and later stopped giving it. They quit and fell out with us. They actually dared to beat us. In the end, we gave them a fat beating.
Be honest.
Zhang Shize said: "Wang Zhen was so powerful at the time that he couldn't see this, so he strictly checked the number of their envoys and the quality of the tributes. After discovering that they were bad horses, he directly reduced the rewards and even stopped them from paying tribute. The Mongols stopped paying tribute and
Regarding trade, they can’t even make an iron pot, so they are too anxious.”
Yang Fan was also speechless. Originally, this tribute was to benefit them. Why do you care about other people's tribute? Even if you support the Choros family to prevent the unification of Mongolia, it is already a waste. The Choros family has become powerful and unified Mongolia.
Even if Ming Dynasty wants to fall out, it must be prepared for war before falling out.
It's so childish to act out of emotion like this. How can military and state affairs be so emotional?
The Mongols began to prepare for war. They believed that only by causing trouble could the Ming Dynasty continue to open trade and tribute in order to calm the trouble.
Moreover, the reason why the Choros family is supported by the Mongols is that they have a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty and can obtain trade privileges.
In the final analysis, if you follow the Choros family, everyone will have the opportunity to trade. You will have meat to eat and wine to drink. If you follow the Kublai Khan family, the Ming Dynasty will block you and let you all drink the northwest wind.
With current interests, who cares about the legitimacy of the Golden Family?
But, thinking about it on the other hand, if you cut off the trade rights of the Choros family, aren't you taking advantage of their lifeblood? Without trade privileges, will the Mongols still obey this family with a foreign surname?
It would be weird if I didn’t fight you tooth and nail first.
"However, even though Ye Xian was being challenged in trade, he was not ready to go to war directly. He was still trying to maintain a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. He has a heart problem, that is, his background is not good. He is not a member of the Golden Family, nor is he a Genghis
A descendant of Khan. He made a request."
"What request?" Yang Fan asked with interest. Obviously this request could solve his status problem.
"Ask for the Princess of Ming Dynasty."
"Didn't the Ming Dynasty not make peace with each other, pay tribute, cede territory, or make indemnities? The emperor would guard the country. The Ming Dynasty would not agree." Yang Fan said.
Even though Chongzhen was in such trouble, he never negotiated peace with Jiannu and the rogue bandits. There was no chance at all.
"Yes, but I'm not afraid of bad things, I'm afraid of bad people." Zhang Shize said angrily. "Ye first bribed Ma Yun and Ma Qing, the translators of the Yingzong family, with large sums of money to find out what the Ming court was telling them, and then proposed an intermarriage with the Ming court royal family.
Require."
"Because I first want to be on par with the status of the Golden Family, I want to marry a Ming Dynasty princess for my son to show off among the heroes of Mongolia. Ma Yun, a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, is very important in the study of Ming history. He served as Ming Yingzong's expedition to the West
Commander Hefan, the Minister of Samarkand, Ma Qing, Wu Liang and others made a private promise and said that they would also send the beauty first."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Ma Yun and Ma Qing did not dare to report the matter to the court afterwards. Later, they paid tribute to the emperor and said: "This betrothal gift is also a betrothal gift for Ma to marry the princess of the Ming Dynasty."
The imperial court replied: "The imperial edict does not promise marriage, and there is no such thing as marriage."
"I first thought that the intermarriage was successful, so I sent tribute horses as betrothal gifts, but I lost face. Afterwards, I mobilized troops to attack the border of the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that the Ming Dynasty made things difficult for the tribute envoys, broke the engagement contract, and arbitrarily reduced the annual gifts.
This is how the war broke out."
Yang Fan was depressed after hearing this. What the hell is this?
The Yingzong did not check the personnel employed, and there was no small matter in diplomacy, so how could they talk nonsense? These people were either unworthy of their moral integrity, or they had ulterior motives and ulterior motives. They were clearly inciting the two countries to go to war.
Originally, by stopping tribute and trade, Ye Xian's reputation in Mongolia plummeted. But doing so now, from Ye Xian's point of view, was clearly trying to kill him. He relied on this to win the hearts of Mongolians.
If Yingzong meant this, after all, after his restoration, he was indeed very tolerant and gloomy. It can only be said that even if Wala is strong and needs to be weakened, he cannot be beaten to death with a stick. Strategies and steps must be paid attention to. Boiled in warm water
Frog, moisturizes things and solves the problems silently.
It took four generations of monarchs in the Ming Dynasty to support them and it took a long time. Even if Yingzong wanted to solve them, why did he think that a powerful medicine could solve the problem?
When Yang Fan heard this, he basically understood the causes and consequences of the Battle of Tumu Fort.
Yang Fan asked: "What is the specific situation of the war? More than 200,000 people have arrived ten miles outside Huailai City. It is not far from Yanqing. How could it be defeated?"
"Do you have a map? Here's the map."
By this time, the two of them were full. They removed the hot pot and placed a satellite map of later generations on the table.
