Chapter 809, the situation of the Chagatai Khanate
Alimari of the Chagatai Khanate, and the huge Ordo of the Chagatai Khan Mahemu stands in the middle of the densely packed tents, still maintaining the Mongolian tradition.
In the huge golden tent, the charcoal fire was burning brightly, making the whole tent as warm as spring. The cold wind was howling outside, but the leaders from various tribes inside were drinking and chatting, enjoying the wine and food while enjoying the songs and dances of the Western Regions.
Mahemu Khan took a sip of kumiss and looked at the many tribal leaders again.
Haidar is from the Tuhula tribe, an important and powerful tribe in Turkestan. The Mongols are a minority here in the Western Regions, although they are in the position of rulers.
However, because its number was too small, it was quickly surrounded by the extremely important Turks in the Western Regions, and had to quickly integrate into the Turks in order to maintain its rule.
In the Western Regions, the Turks are a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
The Tuhula tribe in front of us even controlled the entire Chagatai Khanate in the late Yuan Empire more than a hundred years ago. Even the support of the Great Khan had to be supported by them, and became the entire Chagatai Khanate.
The most powerful tribe in the Chagatai Khanate.
Manjala is also from the Durat tribe of the extremely important Kazakhs in the Western Regions. The Kazakhs, like the Turks, are extremely important tribes in the Western Regions.
It also occupies an extremely important force in the Chagatai Khanate. At that time, it relied on the strength of the Kazakh Durat tribe to ascend to the throne.
In the subsequent series of battles for the throne, the Kazakhs played an extremely important role. The rise of Timur Khan was due to the support of the Kazakhs. After he ascended the throne, he also strongly supported the Kazakhs.
.
The result was that in the late Chagatai Khanate, the power of the entire Khanate was always controlled by the patriarchal feudal leaders of the Kazakh Dulat tribe. Even in the Chagatai Khanate, the nobles of the Kazakh Dulat tribe still
Possessing nine privileges, they formed the powerful force they had in the Chagatai Khanate.
For example, drums and flags can be used, let alone flags. The most important power has the right to appoint and remove Heshuo (that is, the captain of thousands) without asking the Khan; secondly, Bolu and his descendants are allowed to commit only nine sins without being punished.
According to the information, special interrogation and execution methods are also provided for when the tenth crime is committed.
It can be said that the real power in the entire Chagatai Khanate north and south of the Tianshan Mountains has fallen into the hands of the Kazakhs. The successive Khans of the Chagatai Khanate are actually just puppets in their hands. How long they can live depends entirely on their mood.
, it’s just that because they don’t speak Mongolians, they have no way to become Khan on their own, otherwise it won’t be Mahemu’s turn to become Khan.
Kazakhs and Turks are the two most important forces in the Chagatai Khanate. In addition, the Uighurs, Huihui, Tajiks, and Uzbeks are also relatively important and powerful tribes in the Western Region.
Ma Hemu looked at the leaders of many tribes, and his whole body was full of thoughts. The Chagatai Khanate had really sunk when he came here. In other words, relying on the blood of the Golden Family, the Chagatai Khanate was still nominally a member of the Chagatai Khanate.
Khan.
But the number of Mongols is too small, and because they have always been nobles, they have long lost their former strength. The entire Chagatai Khanate is actually decided by the tribal leaders in front of them.
Even their own life and death are decided by them.
When Tuhelu Timur was the Khan, he was the first to convert to Yisl religion, and he also forced 160,000 Mongolians north of the Tianshan Mountains to follow suit.
This was actually a very helpless thing, because if he didn't believe it, Tuhelu Timur would not have been able to save his own life, so from then on, the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate was changed to the Sultan.
Ma Hemu, Manzala and Haidar looked at each other and nodded slightly, then Ma Hemu slowly said: "Everyone, I believe everyone has received the news. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty launched a large-scale attack on our Western Region and has captured Hami.
, Turpan is besieging Mansuer Sultan, Mansuer has asked us for help, I wonder what everyone thinks?"
"Needless to say, of course we will beat and punish those Ming Dynasty people severely to let them know that this Western Region is not a place where the Han people can set foot."
Someone hurriedly stood up and expressed their opinion.
"Yes, yes, give them a good beating. What do the people of the Ming Dynasty have to fear? During the great Yuan Empire, the Han people were just fourth-class people. They were two-legged sheep. They were weak and could be bullied."
Someone immediately stood up and said.
"Yes, yes, kill them all, rush into Jiayuguan, break into the Ming Dynasty again, and hear about the wealth of the Ming Dynasty."
The leaders of each tribe stood up one after another to express their opinions. What did Mingren have to be afraid of?
In the history of more than a hundred years, even when the Ming Dynasty was at its most powerful, it only conquered Hami and had no impact on their Western Regions at all.
Some people are confused and clamor for the Ming Dynasty to fight to the bitter end, but there are also people who are very clear-headed. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has become stronger in terms of national power and military power.
The Tatars and Jurchens were wiped out in the north, the Japanese were defeated in the east, and the Nanyang countries were conquered in the south. This Ming army was definitely not easy to mess with.
Among them, Manzara was very sober and knew clearly how powerful the Ming Dynasty people were. Moreover, this time he had also received news that the Ming Dynasty had sent 200,000 troops to attack the Western Regions.
Not only Hami and Turpan in the north were attacked by the Ming Dynasty, but in Hotan and Aksu in the south, Ming troops were also attacking various tribes in the Western Regions.
But this is not the key. The key is that wherever the Ming army went, they killed countless people, attacked cities and villages, and conquered all the battles. No tribe could stop the powerful front of the Ming people.
"Manzara, what do you think about this?"
Ma Hemu looked at Manzara. It didn't matter what other people thought. Only the opinions of Manzara and Haidar were the most important.
"A fight must be fought."
"It's just that I heard that the Ming army is extremely powerful. Wherever they go, they are like wind and clouds. No tribe is their opponent. If we don't unite, I'm afraid we will be defeated by the Ming Dynasty one by one, and the entire Western Region will fall.
Entering the rule of the Ming Dynasty."
Manzara thought for a while and said.
The situation in front of them is their favorite situation. The Kazakhs control the Chagatai Khanate, and even the replacement of the Khan is decided by them. If the Chagatai Khanate is destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, what will happen to them?
It is also a heavy blow.
The Ming people were different from the Mongols. The Ming people had a large number, strong national power, and most importantly, their own long civilization heritage.
At that time, it will be impossible for them to control the Ming Dynasty like they controlled the Chagatai Khanate. Even the Western Regions will lose control. Other tribes may take advantage of the situation to rise and gradually replace them, the Kazakhs.
Among them, the Turkic Haidar who has the best chance is the Turkic people in front of him. The Turks are extremely powerful in the Western Region and the entire Central Asia. That is to say, they are weaker than the Kazakhs in the Chagatai Khanate, but in China
Here, the Turks are much stronger than them.
Especially the Ottoman Empire in the middle region of Asia and Europe was also a powerful empire established by the Turks and was extremely powerful.
"I heard that the Ming army is very cruel. Wherever they go, they are like locusts crossing the border. All tribes that are unwilling to surrender to them will be killed."
"And I heard that the Ming Dynasty is going to conquer the Southeast Asian countries in the Nanyang region this year, forcing the countries in the Nanyang region to change their surnames to Chinese, respect Confucius and Mencius, strictly prohibit the spread of the Lord, and crack down on us MSLs. Once the Ming Dynasty annexes the entire Western Region, to
At that time, they will inevitably implement the Nanyang region's methods in the Western Regions."
"At that time, we will have to change our surnames to Han, respect what they call Confucius and Mencius, and have to abandon our faith. Once that happens, we will all go to hell, because those who betray the Lord will be punished."
Then Manzara talked about the Ming Dynasty's affairs in Nanyang.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but change their expressions. The people of the Ming Dynasty were so strong. Many tribal leaders who had originally thought of secretly defecting to the Ming Dynasty all had ugly expressions.
Here in the Western Regions and Central Asia, almost all tribes have already believed in shamanism, even the Mongols. Generations of Han Dynasty’s Chagatai Khanate have continued to promote this thing, forcing many Mongolians who originally believed in shamanism to convert
letter.
It can be said that even the Mongols have basically become Turkic and Sudanese at this moment, and this is especially true for other small tribes and the like.
When everyone heard that the Ming Dynasty was so forcefully promoting their Confucius and Mencius principles in the Nanyang region, everyone immediately knew that this was no longer just as simple as the Ming Dynasty conquering the Western Regions.
This is a clash between civilizations, a clash between Eastern civilization and civilization from the Middle East, and a battle of faith.
Even after hearing this, Haidar frowned and became thoughtful.
Fighting must be fought, it is no longer a question of who surrenders to whom.
If the people of the Ming Dynasty did not enforce their own way, it would be the same for them whether they submitted to the Mongols or the Ming Dynasty.
As long as their tribe can live here and as long as they can continue, they will be the same, but their faith is something that cannot be changed.
"I think this is also an opportunity. As long as we can defeat the Ming Dynasty, we can unite and march eastward, enter Jiayuguan, and enter the Central Plains."
"At that time, the colorful world of the Central Plains will belong to our tribes to divide it up. In addition, we can also spread the glory of the Lord to the Central Plains and let the Han people convert to the embrace of the Lord. We can call this battle a prosperous battle.
