The original meaning of the tribe name "Horqin" in Mongolian is "Guards with Bows and Arrows". And "Alu" means "North" or "North", so the tribe was stationed in the north of Muhangai Mountain, hence the name.
.
From a geographical point of view, the "Alu Horqin" that Liang Menglong mentioned at this time belonged to Donghu, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, Qin and Han dynasties. It was a Khitan nomadic land in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was a Shangjingdao Wuzhou in the Liao Dynasty.
In the Liao Dynasty, it belonged to Shangjing Linhuang Mansion. In the Jin Dynasty, Taizhou belonged to Beijing Road. In the Yuan Dynasty, it belonged to the fiefdom of King Yelvliu of Liao.
In the Ming Dynasty, this place was initially under the jurisdiction of the Taining Guards of Wuliangha District in Huangshui. In the 25th year of Jiajing (1546), Kundu of the Arukorqin tribe was nomadic in the Ergun River, Haihar River and Hulunbuir Lake.
Lun Daiqing, the 15th grandson of Habtu Hasar, the younger brother of Genghis Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, moved his tribe to live there, and was originally named Alukorqin, which means "Northern Archer".
So what is the relationship between this "Alu Horqin" and the "Nen Horqin" who has taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty? In fact, the relationship is "from the same source": the two were originally one, and their ancestors all came from this Habtu Hasa
I started to count.
After the 16th century (that is, after 1501), the Horqin tribe moved south to nomadically live in the Nen River Basin, and was called the "Nen Horqin tribe", while the Horqin who stayed in the same place were called the "Alu Horqin tribe", so Alhorqin is actually the
At that time, they were collectively called the Horqin tribe who lived in Hulunbuir and later northern Heilongjiang and other areas.
In other words, to a certain extent, the "Nen Horqin Tribe" can be regarded as a branch, while the "Alu Horqin Tribe" is actually the main department of the Horqin Tribe.
But this is only from the perspective of origin. In fact, the development of the two families has already been divided into superiors and inferiors. The two tribes have already gone through their own ways. Even this nominal "master-slave relationship" has long been in danger.
Originally, the northern and southern "Horqin" clans initially submitted to the Chahar tribe, that is, they submitted to the nominal Mongolian Khan or the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
However, geography can sometimes determine destiny. Since the Nenhorqin tribe was closer to the Ming Dynasty, in the early years they took advantage of the degradation of the Ming Dynasty's military power to follow Chahar, team up with the Nei Khalkha and other tribes, and invade the Ming Dynasty from time to time. Although they did not make any
A lot of money, but you can still grab some soup.
Don't look at it as just a mouthful of soup, a mouthful of soup here in the Ming Dynasty was enough for the Nenhorqin tribe to quickly overtake Alukorqin in strength. Later, the Nenhorqin tribe began to become dissatisfied with surrendering to Chahar. Finally, not long ago, due to high pragmatic planning and
Intervened and completely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, the Alukorqin tribe had limited strength and could not hold up the thick legs of the Ming Dynasty, so they could only submit to Tumen Khan. However, after all, the Alukorqin tribe had the same origin as the Nenhorqin tribe, and the Tumen did not dare to rest assured.
Because of their use, the department is also a marginalized person under Tumen and has little sense of existence.
The Arukorqin tribe has less than 10,000 households and about 30,000 people. The number of soldiers available to support them in war is only 6,000 or 7,000, certainly less than 8,000. But the grassland they occupy is very good - everyone in Hulunbuir is familiar with it.
No more introduction.
Since the grassland is so good, why is the population so small? Of course it's because of the cold! The Hulunbuir Prairie is near the north of Heilongjiang. Do you still expect them to support people like the Jiangnan area?
Although the Arukorqin people with low productivity are not bad at raising livestock, their population cannot grow, so they often become the suppliers of war horses to the Chahar tribe - it is a pity that the Tumen prostituted their war horses in vain and did not pay them, so they were completely destroyed.
When you are a leek, you cut it round after round.
Under such circumstances, the centripetal force of the Alukorqin tribe against the Chahar tribe was naturally not strong. Therefore, in this large-scale migration plan for Chahar to avoid the war and move westward, the Alukorqin tribe was captured by the Tumen
Khan gave up and left without them.
However, the Alukorqin tribe themselves did not care much about this. They believed that it would be better for Tumen to leave, because this would mean that there would be fewer exploiters above their heads and they would be freer.
The only danger appeared when Li Rusong's troops attacked Yuerhai and set up an ambush. At that time, Alukorqin's tribe thought that they were indifferent, but when they suddenly discovered that tens of thousands of elites from Li Rusong's tribe were coming towards their territory, it was really scary.
He was so pissed off that he drove away eastward without saying a word.
While running away, the Alukorqin tribe also made a plan: if they were caught up by Li Rusong, they would surrender without saying a word and express their willingness to "move inward as a whole clan."
The clever thing about this plan is that according to the Ming Dynasty's practice, once the nomadic tribe requests to "relocate the entire clan", it is not something Li Rusong can decide. He must report it to the court - well, he must report it first if he has an idea.
In short, it is not something he, Li Rusong, can "dispose of cheaply" by himself, so the Alukorqin people can at least save their lives first.
However, they did not wait for this day. Li Rusong stopped when he arrived at Yuerhai, and An An An set an ambush there. Then he left quickly for no apparent reason, leaving Alukorqin who was relieved and chanting the blessings of his master.
, and then carefully returned to his hometown.
They certainly didn't expect that although the Ming Dynasty seemed to ignore him, there were still people in the Ming Dynasty who remembered them - Liang Menglong's plan was to directly give them to the Nenhorqin tribe as prizes, without even asking whether they were happy or not.
In Liang Menglong's view, Daning and the surrounding large areas of land that originally belonged to Chahar are the core areas that the Ming Dynasty needs to directly govern. This is something Gao Pragmatic had discussed with him a long time ago, and it is a key part of the strengthening of the Ming Dynasty's cavalry.
Will not tolerate outsiders getting involved, even the Nenhorqin tribe who have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty.
Didn’t the three Wuliangha guards also defect to the Ming Dynasty very early? Later, they were given territory, and their immediate bosses, Prince Ning and Daning Dusi, were removed. What happened to the three Wuliangha guards who had no one to look after them? Didn’t they return?
Have you entered the Mongolian circle of influence? Therefore, Gao Pangshi and Liang Menglong both believed that the core area must be controlled by pure people, because only if they are strong enough, the vassals will be willing to be vassals.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gao pragmatically did not discuss with Liang Menglong how to reward the Nenhorqin tribe, because in essence, Gao pragmatically believed that after the victory of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would increase the power of the Nenhorqin tribe.
I definitely don’t dare to make mistakes. The question of reward can be decided based on the situation.
It's just that people are not as good as God. Now that a series of other issues have led to the need to discuss this matter in advance, Liang Menglong could only think of this because doing so is in line with a pragmatic and higher-level overall plan.
The overall plan is simple: divide and conquer.
The Chahar tribe's power was expelled from Eastern Mongolia, which actually created a power vacuum. Even if the Ming Dynasty would replace it, the Ming Dynasty and its positioning were different. Here, Chahar could threaten the Nenhorqin tribe and Yehe
They can even threaten or interfere with other Jurchen tribes.
As for the Ming Dynasty, at least it was not easy to clearly interfere with the two tribes that had surrendered, the Nenhorqin Tribe and the Yehe Tribe. Even if they wanted to interfere, they had to pay attention to the reputation of one division. The alliance between the Nenhorqin Tribe and the Yehe Tribe was due to the
Their strengths are very close, and they are afraid of both sides, so it is very likely that they will be able to maintain their relationship.
This is very against the interests of the Ming Dynasty: you two maintain the alliance, so how can I, the Ming Dynasty, divide and conquer? What if the overall situation changes one day and you two join forces to stab me in the back?
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation from happening, it is necessary to create conflicts in advance. It is not impossible to find other ways to create conflicts, but it is better to come early than to come by chance. It just so happened that when we talked about this today, Liang Menglong could not care much about it and put this matter first
brought it up.
According to his idea, as long as the balance of power between the Nenhorqin tribe and the Yehe tribe is broken, conflicts will inevitably arise between the two. The reason is very simple. Even if the Nenhorqin tribe is strengthened, it is impossible for them to dare to compete with the Nenhorqin tribe.
Yuan Dasheng and Ming Dynasty were fighting against each other, so who could they bully? Of course it was their former ally Ye Hebu!
As for the marriage between Ye He and Gao Situ, Liang Menglong didn't care. He knew enough about Gao Jingshi. The reason why this great Situ married Ye He was essentially to take advantage of him. There was no way he could not tell the difference.
The enemy and we are close and distant.
What's more, once Ye He is at a strategic disadvantage, he will only be more ingratiated with Gao Situ, which is of great benefit to Gao Situ.
Zhu Yijun stared at the Kanyu map hanging on the easel next to him for a while, and understood Liang Menglong's intention, nodded and said: "Liang Aiqing's words are a great kindness, I think it is feasible."
After a pause, he waved his hand casually and said: "Then tell the Nen Horqin tribe and say that the Alu Horqin tribe followed Tumen in the past and committed many crimes. The Yi people should have eliminated their evil. I hope that God will bring good things to life.
De, the Nenhorqin tribe also has the merit of abandoning darkness and turning to light. Because the two tribes have the same source, the two Horqin tribes can be combined into one clan. The Nenhorqin people should also educate them carefully in the future, so that the Alu Horqin remnants can benefit from our heavenly kindness, and the future will be good.
If you work together to do good, you will be favored by heaven."
This matter has no direct interest in any of the pavilion elders, and it is not even seen that it has much to do with the Heshi School itself. Therefore, everyone's reaction was very consistent. They all accepted the decree and said: "My emperor is wise, and I will obey the decree."
Then Wang Jiaping asked again: "Your Majesty, since Nen Horqin has been rewarded, will Ye He, Jianzhou Youwei and other ministries also reward him?"
Zhu Yijun hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "The matter of Ye He and Jianzhou Youwei will be discussed after the great Situ returns to Beijing." Both of these works were accepted by Gao pragmatically under his command that year. Zhu Yijun felt that it was better to ask Gao pragmatically for his opinions.
It would be safer to decide later. Fortunately, Wang Jiaping only asked, and he did not have any clear opinions, so he withdrew after the emperor answered.
Seeing that no one else wanted to speak, Shen Shixing took over the conversation and said, "So, is it time to discuss Outer Khalkha now? Does Mr. Mingquan have any advice?"
"How dare you teach me?" Liang Menglong said: "The Outer Khalkha tribe is located very far away. It is at least 2,600 miles away from the capital. It is even further away from Daning, more than 2,800 miles away. Even if it is far away from the naturalization
The city is also two thousand miles away.
At such a distance, our officers and troops may not be able to station permanently, otherwise it would be too difficult to provide all the supplies. Even if we only station 10,000 troops, the annual cost is probably 20,000 to 300,000 taels."
"Have the Chief Situ and Liang Aiqing ever discussed this matter?" Zhu Yijun asked very directly this time. Of course, this question was not afraid of being deliberately misunderstood by others. After all, Gao Pragmatic, as an economic minister, went to war outside the customs. Before the war, he met with the Chief Sima and the person in charge of the Ministry of War.
It is reasonable for Liang Menglong to discuss related matters.
Liang Menglong nodded and said: "There have been some discussions, and there are generally three views. The first is based on Abadai Saiyin Khan's abandonment of the dark side and his attachment to the Celestial Dynasty. At that time, the opinions of the ministers, the Great Situ and the Great Sima were relatively consistent, and they believed that
If there is such an opportunity, you can consider letting Abadai Saiyin Khan continue to be in charge of Helin temporarily. Of course, it seems that this option does not need to be considered now."
Zhu Yijun nodded and asked, "What about the second one?"
"The second is to let King Shunyi directly govern." Liang Menglong said: "King Shunyi has been sincerely loyal to me for more than 20 years, and his loyalty is commendable. He has fought for us in several battles in the north and south. His contribution is really not small. In addition, he also made some achievements last year.
Loss... If He Lin is handed over to him this time, Tumut will be able to guard my fence with peace of mind in the future."
Xu Guo frowned slightly and asked: "But if Tumut's power continues to expand, will there be a huge threat to the imperial court?"
"I have also discussed this matter with the Grand Situ and the Grand Sima." Liang Menglong solemnly pointed at the map and said: "Please take a look, Mr. Yingyang. Now that Chahar is fleeing to the west, it is impossible to say where he will go, but it should probably be
He will settle down in the Western Regions and station herders. Now that Wala is divided and Chagatai is in decline, I am afraid that they are no match for Nabrihatu.
If Chahar rises again in the Western Region, Gansu Province will surely suffer from it. If we still pay attention to Mobei at this time, it will be really unsustainable. But if Mobei is given to Tumote, King Shunyi will be enough to serve as a screen in the north.
Then the imperial court can gather troops to be a little closer to Gansu. In this way, my heavenly troops can retreat and stand firm, advance and march westward. I can attack and defend according to my wishes. Why is this not beautiful?"
Xu Guo thought about it and seemed to think it was right, so he nodded slightly and said no more. Zhu Yijun said "hmm" lightly, but then asked: "Liang Qing said there were three ideas before, but now he said two
, what’s the other one?”
Liang Menglong's face straightened, and he said solemnly: "This third one is somewhat controversial. This item was originally proposed by Da Situ, but he also said that it is not easy to achieve this item, and it requires an excellent opportunity to spread it."
When he said this, Zhu Yijun became even more curious. He looked at him with bright eyes and asked, "Oh? Come on, tell me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang Menglong said slowly: "The third option is to move the Ordos troops to Mobei and Lin, and our troops will be stationed in Hetao."
"ah!"
"hiss……"
Everyone was surprised. Even Zhu Yijun took a breath and said quickly: "Recovering the Hetao... I'm afraid it won't be easy. How can the Ordos tribe be willing to abandon the Hetao and go to the bitter cold land of Mobei?"
"It is precisely because of the difficulty that Da Situ said that we must have an excellent opportunity to spread the word." Liang Menglong sighed and said, "It would be great if Ordos supported Kuaibai last time and happened now."
Zhu Yijun understood the meaning as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but feel regretful, saying: "Yes, they made a big mistake last time. But this time it is different. The Ordos tribe cooperated with Tumote to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and they have been staying at Shunyi King
My subordinates... this is not easy to handle." It seems that Zhu Yijun still has some ideas about the Loop.
Liang Menglong suddenly smiled at this time and said: "Don't worry, good Pope, Da Situ had a follow-up idea for this before. Although the current situation is slightly different, this idea may still be used if the soup does not change the medicine.
...It just might take a few years."
Zhu Yijun was overjoyed and asked quickly: "What are your ideas?"
