The Shun and Zhun armies fought fiercely for five days and four nights in the Ili River Valley, and finally ended with the Jun army being completely defeated and fleeing to the west of Congling.
So far, the Dashun Army has completely realized its strategic goal of expedition to the Tianshan Mountains and reached Ili, and accomplished the task of going deep into the tiger's den and plowing the nest.
When the news reached Mobei through Mongolian herdsmen, Sengge Huntaiji was shocked and fell ill after hearing the news. The tribes of Khalkha, which had originally submitted to the Junggar people, saw this situation and also chose to do so under the leadership of the local lama.
surrendered to Shun Chao.
Although Senggehun Taiji's men still had 30,000 cavalry, due to the rebellion of the Khalkha allies and the loss of their hometown in the Tianshan Mountains, the morale of the entire army was low, and the troops were scattered and no longer united.
After the battle, tens of thousands of tribesmen fled one after another.
The Eastern Army under the control of the Anton Metropolitan Governor also arrived on the battlefield in time and gave Senggehun Taiji the final fatal blow.
With the help of the tribes who rebelled and surrendered to Khalkha, the Anton Army marched straight into Helin, defeated the remaining Junggar people, captured Senggehun Taiji alive, and escorted him back to Beijing. Like Dorgon, he was sent to Shandong to repair the Yellow River.
went.
In the battle against the Junggar Khanate, the Dashun Army marched as fast as lightning, and Liu Fangliang's bold advance laid the decisive tone for the final victory.
Since then, all three routes in the Western Regions have returned to Chinese territory. After the imperial court received news of the victory, it immediately followed Liu Fangliang's suggestion and appointed Li Maoheng as the Governor of the Anxi Governor's Office.
For the three border areas of the Western Region, the Eastern Xinjiang, the Western Xinjiang, and the Southern Xinjiang, the divide and rule method was adopted in accordance with the legacy of Lu Ze, the general of Guo Yi who died in the Blackwater Camp.
The East Xinjiang region includes Hami, Turpan and Barkol in the north and south of the East Tianshan Mountains. This area is a nomadic area to the north of the East Tianshan Mountains, and Hami and Turpan to the south of the East Tianshan Mountains are agricultural areas.
Dashun directly set up prefectures, counties and prefectures in this area to exercise official jurisdiction. In the past, the Hui tribe chieftains and Mongolian nomadic tribes who ruled the Hami area moved their herdsmen to Qinghai for grazing, while the farmers stayed in the local area.
Officials implement direct management by establishing households and integrating the people.
In order to ensure stability, Li Laiheng ordered that Shazhou be changed to Dunhuang Prefecture, Hami Prefecture, Dunhuang Prefecture, Guazhou, and Anding Prefectures were incorporated into the organizational structure of Gansu Province, and the capital of Gansu Province was moved from Lanzhou to Ganzhou further west.
(i.e. Zhangye).
In the Turpan area, the hereditary power of the local Hui king was recognized, he was appointed as the governor of Huozhou Dudufu, he was granted the title of Prince of Hami County, and the Dashunliu officer was dispatched as the deputy governor of Huozhou Dudufu to perform supervisory responsibilities.
The Northern Xinjiang of the Western Regions refers to the area north of the Tianshan Mountains, which is basically nomadic; the Southern Xinjiang refers to the area south of the Tianshan Mountains, which is basically oasis agriculture.
Among the three frontiers, the Eastern Xinjiang region is closest to the Central Plains, so it is generally a region that is more pro-Central Plains dynasty. It is also usually the bridgehead for the Central Plains dynasty to conquer the Western Regions.
Since the Han Dynasty, all those who entered the Western Regions started from here. The Tang Dynasty's conquest of the Western Turks began with Yiwu's surrender and the destruction of Gaochang.
When the rule was stabilized, the Tang Dynasty established Yizhou and Xizhou here, so Dashun first established Dunhuang Mansion, Hami Mansion, and the county offices under their jurisdiction in the Hami area, which were directly controlled by Dashunliu officials.
King Hami Hui, who relied on the Shun Dynasty and provided a lot of help for the Shun army's expedition to the Tianshan Mountains, allowed him to rule the Turpan area hereditary, and granted him the title of hereditary prince. He was also given a large amount of gold and silver rewards every year. King Hami Hui
Many of their children also went to Kaifeng to study and serve as officials.
In the northern Xinjiang region, it is mainly a grassland nomadic area. It was the core area of the Western Turks before the entry of the Tang Army in ancient times, and the heartland of the Quasi-Ministry before the entry of the Dashun Army.
After the Tang Dynasty conquered the northern Xinjiang grasslands, it established the Beiting Protectorate. The Tang Dynasty had many iterations of control over the Beiting area. For the old Western Turks (five tribes each on the left and right, Duolu and Bisnu)
, the Tang court was generally able to restrain them at the beginning. From the end of Gaozong to the middle period of Kaiyuan, the Tuqishi tribe rose up under the leadership of Khan Sulu and was entrusted by the Tang court to lead the rise and fall of the left and right wings and the succession.
Khan and other descendants of the Ashina family did not dare to succeed to the throne.
Finally, in the middle and early stages of Xuanzong, it was necessary to unite with the Arab Empire to subdue the Tuqishi people. Therefore, in general, the Tang court's rule over northern Xinjiang was far less strict and consolidated than in eastern Xinjiang.
After the Shun Dynasty eliminated the Junggar tribe and the Oirat Alliance, it quickly suppressed the remaining strength of the Mongolian tribe that had repeatedly rebelled in eastern Xinjiang.
Then the Shun army built a city in Yili to garrison the army. At the same time, they moved a group of Monan Mongolian tribes who had surrendered to Dashun in the early years and had been nomadic in Shuofang Province for a long time to the Tianshan area to graze.
to control the remnants of the Oirat people.
Finally, there is Southern Xinjiang: this is an oasis agricultural area. Before the Tang army entered, it was mainly a small oasis country established by various Indo-Europeans who submitted to the Western Turks. Before the Dashun army entered, it mainly submitted to various indigenous tribes of the Junggar at that time.
After the Tang army conquered the Western Turks, they mainly established the four towns of Anxi here (one of which was once moved to northern Xinjiang). They were the strategic support of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions and were also the main areas under the direct jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate. Others
The region is still dominated by the autonomous city-states of various Indo-Europeans.
After the Tubo and Tang armies repeatedly fought for the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty's rule in the Western Regions stabilized. The political system with the four towns as the core and supplemented by Indo-European city-states was established and operated peacefully for fifty or sixty years.
The Shun Dynasty learned from the ruling experience of the Southern Xinjiang in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. After building the city of Ili and setting up the seat of the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Office, it also established rule on the edge of the Tarim Basin, and successively pacified the Baishan Sect and the Heishan Sect.
The remnants of the Yarkand Khanate.
Then they allowed a group of returning local officials to become the hereditary rulers of the small oasis town in southern Xinjiang, and conferred upon them the hereditary and replaceable titles of earls and viscounts.
The Shun army built garrison cities in Luntai, Aksu, Kashgar and other places, stationed hundreds or a thousand soldiers respectively, and cultivated land in the local areas. At the same time, they were responsible for managing and coordinating the conflicts between the various entangled native officials.
In order to achieve the effect of establishing princes and dividing their power, the Shun Dynasty first stipulated that among the local officials in the southern border, they were not allowed to serve in their own hometown. The local officials in several big cities were also selected by the Shun army to overthrow
Many local officials from Dashun were jointly responsible for this.
To the west of Congling, after the Tang army destroyed the Western Turks, it briefly extended its power to Central Asia, but soon found that it was unable to do so, so it finally shrunk to the Western Regions after about ten years of adjustments.
As for the nomadic peoples of the Kazakh grasslands and the Indo-European city-states in the river, it was enough to be vassals. Later, in the early eighth century, the Hezhong area was finally conquered and integrated by the ancient Taibai. After the above-mentioned Tang A jointly settled in the Hezhong area
After the strangulation of Sulu Khan's troops, the river was finally determined to be the territory of the Arab Empire.
After the Dashun Army conquered the Junggar Tribe, many remnants of the Quasi Army crossed Congling and fled into the Kazakh inhabited areas. In addition, there were a few Kazakh tribes who had been oppressed by the Junggar Tribe for a long time. After hearing that the Dashun Army quickly defeated them,
After the Oirat people gained martial arts skills, they took the initiative to join the clan.
Li Laiheng, who was seeking perfection, directly instructed Li Maoheng, the governor of Anxi, to send troops to inspect the Kazakh nomadic areas between Lake Balkhash and Lake Issyk-Kul.
After the Shun Army entered this area, a small number of armed conflicts broke out with the local Kazakhs, but on the whole they were mainly engaged in peaceful trade. It was not until more than ten years later that the Shun Army took advantage of the civil war in Sanyuz, Kazakhstan, to send troops to intervene.
Due to civil strife, Kazakhstan's Sanyuzi capital was incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Dudu Mansion.
