Mansu'er, the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, has always been regarded as very aggrieved.
In the eyes of the Seven Guards of Kansai and Xiao Lietu, Turpan was unstoppable at this time. In fact, this was when Mansuer was at his weakest. The damn Kazakhs and the remnants of the Golden Horde beat him until he ran away with his head in his hands.
I can only stay in this miserable place like Turpan and become a local emperor.
Not to mention foreign enemies, there was fierce internal fighting as soon as he came to power.
At that time, Man Su'er's father and uncle went together to fight with Yue Jibie Khan, and then the two brothers were defeated and captured. After offering a lot of ransom, his father was finally redeemed, but he died the next year.
Yes, if I had known this, why waste the ransom money!
My father left too many sons behind, and Mansu'er slaughtered his brothers and consumed the country's strength. When foreign enemies invaded again, he could only abandon the capital twice in a row.
"Mansu'er, you must surrender to the Ming Dynasty, otherwise everyone's life will be difficult!" said Ba Cha, slapping the table.
Man Su'er said with a headache: "I will consider it."
Babacha is Mansuer's biological brother, and he once sent troops to help him fight for the throne. However, the relationship between the two brothers has deteriorated rapidly in the past two years, all because Mansuer stole Hami, which led to the Ming Dynasty directly cutting off the trade in the Western Regions.
"Don't think about it. We must surrender to the Ming Dynasty and reopen the golden road!" The man who spoke was called Waihe'a. He was Mansu'er's uncle and was also a powerful person in charge of the army.
Another person said: "We will follow you to attack Hami and plunder Guazhou, Shazhou and Handong. But you will keep half of the cattle, horses and people we robbed. The spoils we get are not as good as trading with the Ming Dynasty."
You said that by seizing King Hami’s golden seal, you could make the Emperor of Ming surrender, but the Emperor of Ming sent troops here!”
"That is, the trade route to Samarkand has been cut off, and now the trade route to the Ming Dynasty has been cut off again. Even if we rob gold and silver, we can't buy anything!" Another person was angry.
Mansu'er's lungs are about to burst with anger. When we first sent out troops to plunder, you were all more agile than the others, but now that everything goes wrong, it's all on me!
This is Turpan’s poor internal affairs problem.
In history, Mansuer made great progress all the way, even defeated Xiaolietu, and took Xiaolietu to plunder the Ming Dynasty, but still could not avert the internal conflicts.
In the twelfth year of Zhengde's reign, the court received information: "Mansu'er's younger brother Ba Ba Cha was angry with Yi brother for doing evil, cutting off the golden road, and was at odds with Yi." The first person to express dissatisfaction was Ba Ba Cha.
In the 14th year of Zhengde, the court received another side report: "Man Su'er went to Suzhou to do evil. Princes (lords) in various areas said that the golden road was cut off, and they all wanted to kill him. Man Su'er was afraid and sent his horse.
The black hemp firemen are waiting." The lords from all over the country were dissatisfied and even threatened to kill Mansu'er, so Mansu'er was forced to ask for peace.
So what if we can fight again?
A single move of economic sanctions brought Turpan to the point of internal strife.
Because the Ming Dynasty had always cut off trade, Xiaolie Tu, who had no access to tea, was the first to rebel and cooperated with the Suzhou defenders to attack Mansu'er from front to back.
After only suffering this defeat, Mansuer expressed his surrender and begged the Ming Dynasty to reopen trade. The apology document to the Ming Emperor wrote: "I regret the evil things I did before and will never do them again...
…God won’t allow me to offend again!”
Because the Ming Dynasty was caught in the Japanese Rebellion and had no time to take care of the Western Regions, it simply gave up the territory west of Jiayuguan and resumed commercial activities with Mansuer. The two sides finally stopped the war.
At this moment, Turpan lost more than 4,000 cavalry, of which 2,000 were directly under Mansu'er.
As a result, lords from various places made trouble in advance and forced Mansu'er to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for the Ming Dynasty reopening trade routes.
Mansu'er was forced to have no choice but to immediately send an envoy to Hami.
"Seek peace?" Wang Yuan asked with a smile.
The messenger knelt down and said: "My Lord is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and return the golden seal of King Hami. From then on, Turpan became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. My Lord said that he has deeply regretted the evil things he did in the past. If he dares to invade the border again in the future, Allah will also I will never forgive him again."
After the translation and narration, Zhu Ying, Zhang Wei, Li Ying, Zhu Dangqi and others congratulated each other in Chinese: "Congratulations to Scholar Wang, for not only regaining Hami, but also surrendering foreign countries for the imperial court. This is truly an extraordinary achievement!"
If it had been another civil servant, he would probably have just sent someone to report his merits, and then happily returned to the court.
Wang Yuan sneered.
Today I surrender and beg for mercy, but in a few years I'll invade again. I've been through life and death, isn't it all in vain?
Wang Yuan asked: "Mansu'er calls himself Sutan (Sultan) and the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, but why does he seek peace as the King of Turpan? Is this his sincerity?"
The envoy was stunned, and quickly defended: "Everyone in the Ming Dynasty calls my Lord the King of Turpan, so I ask for forgiveness as the King of Turpan."
Wang Yuan said angrily: "You stole Hami, robbed the King of Hami's gold seal, and plundered the Seven Guards of Guanxi for years. You committed an unforgivable crime! Now you only send envoys to sue for peace, and do not take the initiative to return the gold seal of the King of Hami, nor promise compensation. The loss of Ming Dynasty, how can there be such a good thing in the world!"
The messenger quickly said: "As long as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty reopens trade, our Lord is willing to return the gold seal of King Hami."
"Are you asking for mercy? Are you threatening me?"
Wang Yuan was furious and ordered: "Cut off his ears and let him go back and tell Man Su'er that surrender is okay, but he must go to the capital of Ming Dynasty in person, kneel on the ground and ask for forgiveness from the Ming Emperor! If you can't do it, then raise troops. Come and see him, or I can raise troops to see him!"
The envoys sent by Mansuer all had their ears cut off by Wang Yuan and ran back to Turpan in despair to report the news.
"This is insulting me!" Mansu'er looked at the earless messenger and wished he could lead his army to kill Hami immediately.
But Mansu'er didn't dare because the lords everywhere were unwilling.
Man Su'er said to his cronies: "Invite all the princes from all over the world and say that it is my fault that the golden road is broken. I will go to the Ming Dynasty to see the emperor in person. Before I leave, I will pass on the position of Su Tan (Sultan) to Those who are successful, please invite them all to come and discuss who should pass it on."
A few days later, all the lords of Turpan gathered together.
After everyone's discussion, the position of sultan should be passed to Ba Bacha, because he is the son of the previous generation sultan and the most powerful man besides Mansu'er.
Mansu'er held Babacha's hand: "My brother, you are the next Sutan. I hope that under your rule, the Chagatai Khanate can once again restore the glory of its ancestors!"
Ba Bacha was extremely excited: "Brother, don't worry, I will not only restore the glory of the Chagatai Khanate, but also restore the glory of Genghis Khan's Mongolia."
"What a pity, you are too ambitious." When Mansuer hugged his brother, a dagger suddenly appeared from his sleeve.
"You..." Ba Bacha did not die immediately, but still hugged his brother.
Mansu'er rotated the dagger, pulled it out and stabbed it in again. The lords loyal to him also immediately pounced on other lords, and the Sultan's abdication meeting was a flash of swords and swords.
The noise inside the house soon led to fighting outside, and all the personal guards were raided by Mansu'er's people.
There were only a few cowardly little lords left, but Man Su'er spared their lives. He said to these lords: "Bang Bacha intends to murder Su Tan. Are you willing to follow me to quell the rebellion?"
"I am willing to follow Su Tan!" Those little lords knelt down in panic, crawled over and kissed Man Su'er's shoes.
Man Su'er immediately led his troops, coerced the small lords, and used force to subdue the forces of Baba Cha and others.
Very direct, very cold-blooded, very violent!
When they were fighting for the throne, Mansuer had killed several brothers. Two brothers came back with their tribes and hid on the border to graze. After Mansuer learned the news, he led his troops there again to kill them all.
It was a pity that his younger brother Said ran away. Said relied on the remaining tribesmen to defeat Yuejibie Khan who captured their father. He took advantage of the situation and recovered a large area of lost land in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and also recovered Aksu, the former capital. Now
A hundred years later, Said's descendants even annexed Mansu'er's descendants and unified the Eastern Chagatai Khanate again.
While Wang Yuan was still waiting to see the situation, Turpan started fighting among itself.
Xiao Lietu, who had been inquiring about the news, saw that Wang Yuan had made a fortune in Turpan, and he was already very jealous. Now that he saw that Turpan was in civil strife, he immediately went south from the opening in the east of Tianshan Mountain, passed through Chiting City, and attacked Bibi.
Can (Shanshan) also looted the surrounding areas of Bican City.
But Xiaolietu came too slowly, and Mansuer's movements were too fast.
Because of the mutual annexation, the Turpan army has been gathered together, and they are no longer in the state of going home to graze and cultivate.
After learning that Bican had also been robbed, Man Su'er, who had basically calmed down the civil strife, immediately led the cavalry in a mad pursuit. They ran wildly for a day and a night, only stopping to eat and drink on the way, and caught up with Xiao Lie Tu in the east of Chiting City.
More than 9,000 Turpan cavalrymen, without sleep all day and night, directly charged more than 4,000 small columns of bald cavalrymen.
Xiao Lietu didn't dare to accept the challenge at all. After some testing, he threw away his loot and ran away in panic.
Among the three most elite urban agglomerations in Turpan, two-thirds of the Liucheng urban agglomeration has been destroyed by Wang Yuan and Xiaolietu's successive plunders.
Moreover, due to the mobilization of troops in the spring, almost half of Turpan's production activities this year have been scrapped.
In this case, Mansu'er must send troops and rely on robbery to survive the difficulties, otherwise many people will starve to death this winter.
Either go west to attack your brother Said, or go northwest to attack the Heshuote Alliance, or go northeast to attack the Xiaolietu Alliance, or go east to attack the cities of Hami.
Brothers are really not easy to mess with. The two Mongolian tribes in the north are in alliance and are good at escaping on the grasslands.
Then we can only attack the cities of Hami!
At this moment, Mansu'er could only muster twelve thousand cavalry.
But these more than 10,000 cavalrymen are not easy to mess with. Not only are they powerful in battle, but they are also fighting for survival.
Mansuer succeeded, and the internal conflicts were successfully transferred. All ministries must follow him to rob property to survive the difficulties, and no one will jump out to challenge his authority.
