There is no doubt that the contradiction between the Kang State and the Khoshote Khanate is acute and indelible.
This is because in the Kham region, the Kang State snatched a piece of meat from the Kashote Khanate and forcibly isolated a piece of the country.
Not only that, when Li Zicheng sent troops to Qinghai, he defeated the eight sons of Gushi Khan, the Badai Ji, plundered their money and food, and drove them back to Lhasa.
As a result, the Ming Dynasty benefited from the situation and regained control of the Qinghai area, establishing Xining Prefecture under the management of Gansu.
In this way, the Ming army not only entered Tibet in Qinghai to threaten Lhasa, but also sent troops to Kang State to attack Lhasa westward from the Kham area.
Therefore, both Gushi Khan and the newly succeeded Dayan Eqir Khan were very respectful to the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to violate it in the slightest.
For this reason, when the Oirat Mongolian relatives and the Heshuote tribe were defeated, the entire Lhasa remained calm and never said anything about sending reinforcements or resisting the Ming court.
Dayan Eqir Khan heard that his cousin had been captured, and prayed in the Buddhist hall for three days. Then he could only send a congratulatory form to congratulate the imperial court on the victory of Mongolia in Mongolia.
However, he still had a trace of family affection and privately begged the emperor to spare his life.
However, Da Lai and Ban Chan, who had been invited to Beijing and received canonization, took this opportunity to state clearly:
"Now that the Heshuote tribe in Oirat has disappeared and has become part of the Anxi Province of the Ming Dynasty, the Heshuote Khanate on the plateau seems particularly abrupt."
"Why doesn't the Great Khan ask for his name from the imperial court? Just like North Korea."
Dayan Eqir Khan thought over and over again, and considering the hostility with Kang State and the threat from Qinghai, he had to make a request.
You must know that although the Kashote Khanate is subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, it only offers some horses, yaks, and the so-called Nine White Gifts every year. In fact, it still uses the name of the Great Khan in the country, and there are countless things that go beyond it.
The most obvious example is that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was honored as Chuluo Khan by the Khalkha Mongolian and Monan Mongolian tribes in Chahar, and you are also the Great Khan. Doesn't this put yourself on an equal footing with the emperor?
On the surface, asking for a name from the Ming Dynasty is just a reward, which was how North Korea received it, but in fact it is equivalent to complete obedience.
There were more than ten vassals in the Ming Dynasty, but only the princes of North Korea were given honorary guards to princes. This was a special case.
Dayan Ozil Khan was reluctant, but in the end he was trapped by the situation, especially the Ming army's encirclement and annihilation of the battle of Lat Mongolia, so he had to do it.
From the beginning of the year until the middle of the year, until early July, the good news finally came.
"Khan, good news——"
In the palace in Lhasa, Dayan Ozil Khan watched the singing and dancing. He held his chin with his right hand and listened to the singing girl with dull eyes, looking lifeless.
At this time, the palace prime minister couldn't wait to run over. He trotted all the way, directly skipping the dancing girl, and came panting to Dayan'e Qilhan.
"Oh?" Dayan Eqirhan was stunned, and it took him a long time to react.
"What's up?"
"The matter of giving names." The prime minister took out the silk book from his arms and presented it respectfully. He knew that the Khan was illiterate, so he said directly:
"The Ming Emperor gave the country its name - Weizang."
Dayan Eqirhan was stunned, stood up in an instant, held up the yellow silk book and was speechless. He had mixed feelings for a while.
There are a total of three options in the name-giving submitted to Ming Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was named Tubo.
The Chinese name in the Ming Dynasty was Wu Zang.
And his favorite Heshuote.
It's a pity that the Ming Emperor didn't choose any of the three, and directly designated the title Weizang, not following the routine at all.
Of course, this name is not wrong. After all, the herdsmen on the plateau have always called themselves Weizang.
Among them, Wei refers to "front Tibet", including Lhasa and Shannan, and "back Tibet" refers to the Shigatse area, which is the monastery area of Dalai and Banchan respectively.
"Wei Zangguo, Wei Zangguo——"
Dayan Ozirhan murmured, his face could not tell whether he was happy or sad.
"In addition to bestowing his name, the Ming Emperor also allowed the princes of our country to enjoy royal ceremonials, and gave him hundreds of official robes, mang robes, musical instruments, and a large number of poems, books, and Buddhist scriptures. It can be said to be extremely generous."
Hearing these words, Dayan Eqirhan showed a smile.
In any case, these silk robes, especially mang robes, even if all the weavers from the entire plateau could be assembled, they would not be able to embroider a single official robe.
Its value cannot be bought.
Such a happy mood did not last long, and suddenly a messenger came with news:
"Kang Guoyan said that our country shot and wounded Li Zicheng during the war, causing his early death, so he sent troops to avenge him."
"Fart -" Dayan Eqirhan was furious: "Li Zicheng, a short-lived ghost, should have died long ago and should have gone to hell. How could he be blamed on us?"
If he understands Chinese, he should know that if you want to accuse someone of a crime, there is no reason to worry.
The prime minister said solemnly: "The Mongolians have a saying that when a wolf wants to eat a sheep, no matter how many herdsmen there are, the hungry wolf will not be afraid."
"Kang's arrogant ambition has been concerned about our territory for a long time. Now that it has been revealed, we must first report to the Ming Dynasty about Kang's affairs, and then recruit soldiers and horses to directly recover the Kham area."
Dayan Eqirhan said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's do it like this."
For a time, because of Ming's private turmoil, the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was in chaos.
One is the Kang State, which has a military foundation and spans thousands of miles across the world; the other is the Heshuote Khanate, which has strong strength on the plateau and has the unanimous support of the lamas.
The battle between the two is quite interesting.
However, since the war area was outside Sichuan, the Han people were not disturbed and were happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
But in the capital, it was quite lively at this time.
In March and April, the disaster relief came to an end and a general amnesty was held, making the whole world excited.
The first general amnesty for the whole country in history was in the first year of Qin II, and then he appointed and dismissed Shaofu Zhang Han, commanded the slave army, and directly defeated the rebels.
From this we can see the power of amnesty for the world.
It is precisely because of this that the amnesty for the world was subsequently abused in feudal dynasties for more than two thousand years, such as twenty-six times in the twenty-fifth year of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
The more turbulent a dynasty is, the more they like to use this.
The most typical example is Emperor Hui of Jin in the Western Jin Dynasty. Emperor Hui of Jin pardoned people 28 times in just seven years.
Of course, the additional condition of the amnesty is that the most heinous crimes will not be pardoned. If the criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes are released, they will not be released. Those who have committed minor or minor crimes will not be punished.
In other words, the stain is cleared and future generations can take part in the imperial examination.
For example, Song Jiang, after killing Yan Poxi, directly chose to run away, hide for a few months, and treat it as a tourist. After Song Huizong granted amnesty, he returned home directly and spent money to buy an official position.
If it weren't for the anti-poetry, the future would still be promising.
One thing that needs to be noted is that officials who are corrupt and pervert the law are not included in the amnesty.
The bustling city of Beijing was because the troops from the Western Expedition began to return home.
In order to completely conquer the Oirat Mongolia, Gansu's army could not gain the trust of the imperial court at all. Everyone in the Beijing camp also hoped for military success, so nearly ten thousand people went to Tiannan.
In addition, many officers also took this opportunity to join the army and achieve promotion. They were the main force in conquering Oirat Mongolia.
As a result, nearly half of Anxi Province's 100,000 troops had to be withdrawn and re-filed.
Jin Guogong Li Dingguo continued to guard Anxi Province, handling complex government affairs and the Mongolian tribes, and those idle troops naturally returned to Gansu and the capital.
After walking for several months, Jia Daihua felt intense, with a rush of blood rushing to the back of his head. The closer he got to Beijing, the more excited he became. He had never wanted to go home so much.
As the saying goes, there is nothing more timid than being close to home.
Of course, riches and honors do not return to their hometown, so they walk at night in brocade clothes, taking more than ten personal soldiers with them. Along the way, the inns are overcrowded, so much so that a viscount like him has to crowd with others, and the soldiers live in tents.
Chaoyang Gate.
At this time, there was a huge crowd of people, and countless family members stood at the gate of the city, welcoming the arrival of their families.
Needless to say, the first batch to go home were definitely the officers, so there were hundreds of carriages to greet them.
The horse's feces fell from time to time, like rain, and the yamen responsible for maintaining order couldn't help but cover his nose, for fear that the smell of sweat and manure would be poured into his nose.
Hot summer days can make people’s tempers rise.
Your carriage bumped into my carriage, and the horse's excrement stained the wheels. There were countless other miscellaneous things, and a quarrel started among the women.
The servants also took up martial arts, each holding a gun and a stick, looking majestic.
Mr. Jia Shi was sitting in the carriage, but there was a strange sound in his ears, like a magic sound that penetrated his ears and couldn't get rid of it.
Seeing this, Jia Chen on the side laughed and said: "If you can't stand it anymore, just plug your ears with silk cloth."
"Back then, the military academy was even more lively than this."
Speaking of it, she actually felt a little nostalgic: "A small courtyard house is home to more than a dozen families, all of whom are military figures. The children are noisy, but everyone lives in peace and contentment because they don't need money."
Speaking of this, she said with emotion: "When the emperor was still the King of Yu, he was extremely kind to us. He paid us no salary every month and even distributed grain and cloth from time to time."
"The maids in the palace who are as beautiful as gods were also given to the officers. Even our Jia family, who was very poor back then, could arrange a free house to live in, called the Military Courtyard."
"From Xiangyang, I lived in Nanjing, but unfortunately I disappeared when I arrived in Beijing——"
Mrs. Jia Shi was so fascinated by this that she actually laughed: "Mom, this is because our family has a title."
"Then there is still a military academy in Beijing Camp?"
"I heard there are some." Jia Shi said softly: "It's built near the military camp. You only need to pay ten yuan a month to live there."
"Yes, this is the reason why soldiers can sacrifice their lives for the emperor." Jia Chen smiled: "This emperor should own the world."
For a moment, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law actually laughed out loud.
At this time, those noisy sounds turned into beautiful music, which gave me a special feeling.
There is no way, under the military merit system, their Jia family has benefited greatly.
Jia Daihua was granted the title of viscount, and his family had two titles. This was a great honor. It was expected that within a few years, the earl would be out of control.
Soon, the ground began to shake, waiting for the crowd to calm down instantly.
It almost takes no brainer to understand that this is a sign of the arrival of the war horses.
Soon, a large number of war horses caused dust to cover the ground, and cavalry emerged one after another.
The military robes of the Ming Dynasty looked particularly energetic.
The soldiers and followers dismounted one after another and looked after the horses, while the officers were overjoyed one by one, looking for traces of their families.
The servants of the Jia family quickly recognized Jia Daihua and brought him to the carriage.
"Mom, madam——"
Jia Daihua's face was full of dust and his voice was extremely high.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back -"
Mrs. Jia Chen touched her son's face and felt the rough skin. She couldn't help but feel distressed. Then she said, "Your father can't get out of the military camp."
Jia Daihua nodded, then looked at Jia Shi, and for a moment there were signs of raising his head.
Holding back his movements, he smiled: "I have to go to the palace to see His Majesty first, and then go home later."
"Son, let's go quickly, it's important to meet His Majesty." Mrs. Jia Chen nodded hurriedly, she understood very well.
Mr. Shi smiled slightly: "I'll wait for you to come back at home."
Jia Daihua was instantly motivated.
Immediately, dozens of viscounts, barons, and officers, all exhausted, went to the palace to meet him.
The emperor was not stingy in his praise, and immediately rewarded him with a large amount of money.
According to the calculation, each person has ten bolts of suede, one hundred catties of sugar, one hundred silver coins, and some spices.
At this, everyone smiled with satisfaction.
Because the rewards for promotion to the title have been issued by the imperial court a long time ago. These are private rewards from the emperor. They can be said to be an unexpected surprise and are of extremely high value.
During this process, Zhu Yixi stared at Jia Daihua for a while and found that he looked ordinary and had a slightly familiar face. He was obviously a guard.
It seems that in the next ten years, the imperial court will not be short of generals.
After the group of people left, the emperor showed a slight smile: "I heard that the capital camp has been very lively recently?"
"People's thoughts are moving." Yang Le has been the admiral of Dongchang for more than ten years and knows the emperor's thoughts very well. As soon as he started to speak, he immediately said:
"In the Battle of Oirat, many officers who went to Anxi were promoted to high rank, which made many people want to fight abroad."
After thinking for a while, Yang Le continued: "The morale of the Beijing camp in Suiyuan dropped a lot after there was no war. Many people complained. It would be better if they went to the Western Regions..."
"How can there be so many battles to fight in the world?"
Zhu Yixi said something casually, and suddenly her expression changed drastically.
He suddenly realized that the military merit system, which was once based on merit points, had already encountered a crisis.
After all, there are countless wars in the world, and a government cannot invest all its money and food in the army. And an army that rises because of its merits will inevitably have a sharp decline in combat effectiveness because it has no battles to fight.
Just like the military households in the early Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty.
The reform of military merit seems to be on the agenda.
How to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army is the key.
"Your Majesty, many officers and soldiers in the army have not been awarded titles, and they are constantly discussing and want to grant hundreds or thousands of households as titles..."
Yang Le said cautiously.
Hundreds of households and thousands of households are the buffer that is reduced for three generations after the baron is inherited.
