This was originally a new tribe, an Otok formed from the Black Wind River Basin, with hundreds or thousands of households.
With one thousand tents, Otok is already a considerable force.
Although Mongolia occupies a very large area, it is scattered in four directions and has constant wars. The population at this time is not as good as the tribal era before Genghis Khan unified Mongolia. The entire Mongolian population now only exceeds 2 million.
For the Ming Empire, which has a population of over 100 million, the Otoks and Aimakes on the grassland are really not worth mentioning. However, after several years of conquest and plunder, it was not easy to form the Odokes with thousands of households.
For Ubuntai and others who had been beheaded, this was the starting point of their dream.
But it has been shattered.
Zhu Rongsong, who joined the army, was doing statistics on his horse.
"Zhu Canjun, what do these prisoners mean by Otok and Aimak?"
"This is their organization. After Tartar Jianzi conquered the various Mongolian tribes, he set up alliance flags for them, but this was also established according to Mongolian tradition.
As far back as the Song and Jin Dynasties, there were many tribes scattered on the grassland, such as the Qiyan tribe, the Tata tribe, the Kle tribe, the Naiman tribe, etc. These tribes were independent and attacked each other. Later, Genghis Khan unified the grassland and it ended.
In this case, Genghis Khan split the original tribes into ten and organized the tribesmen into hundreds of households. Thousands of households were given to family members and meritorious officials to manage.
Later, the Yuan Dynasty unified the country, and the grassland hometown became the province of Lingbei. Lingbei is different from the other provinces in the Central Plains. There are no prefectures and counties under Lingbei Province. Instead, it is composed of the territories of the princes and nobles, Emmake.
Next, set up ten households, one hundred households, and one thousand households.
Aimako is a territory passed down from generation to generation, and the leader is also hereditary. There is a close relationship between the top and the bottom. Later, Aimako formed a group of Ayinle (herdsmen) of the same race who nomadically lived in the same area. They were a branch of the tribe and were close relatives.
For family union, Amake must have common pasture land, otherwise it cannot be called Amake.
Since Aimaike was grazing in the same place, they must belong to the same family. They were all based on the territories and families of the hereditary nobles in the Yuan Dynasty.
Later, the Mongols were driven back to Mobei by our Taizu Emperor Gao. The Khan Court was weakened and internal strife continued. Many princes and nobles had strong soldiers and horses, and one person controlled many Aimaq to form Otok.
The princes and nobles, who were also descendants of the Golden Family, refused to obey anyone and fought with each other. Even the Wala, a common people in the forest who were originally attached to the Khan, began to compete with the Mongolian headquarters. It was not until the Zhengde period that a member of the Golden Family emerged.
A character, Batu Mengke, our Ming Dynasty official records call him the Little Prince.
This little prince drove away the Oara people and reunified all the Mongolian tribes. He was called the Great Yuan Zhongxing by the Mongols and known as Dayan Khan. He was the seventh ancestor of Lin Dan Khan and the sixth ancestor of Sunit Khan Tengjisi.
After Dayan Khan unified Mongolia, he abolished the post of Taishi, which had long been occupied by the Oara people, and established Jinong (translated into Chinese as King of Jin), which was held by the direct son or brother of the Great Khan to strengthen the authority of the Khan's court.
He also reorganized the various Mongolian ministries and divided the main bodies of the Mongolian ministries into the left and right wings, with six households of 60,000 households, Otok under the prime minister of 10,000 households, and the left wing with 30,000 households: Chahar Ministry, Ukhaliang Ministry, and Khalkha Ministry;
Ten thousand households: Ordos tribe, Tumote tribe, Yongxiebu tribe. Chahar ten thousand households are under the direct jurisdiction of the Great Khan, Ordos ten thousand households are under the direct jurisdiction of Jinong, and the heads of other tribes are also served by the sons of Dayan Khan.
It was just that Dayan Khan's resurgence was short-lived. After his death, the various Mongolian tribes fell into division and melee again. In the final analysis, it was because Dayan Khan's centralization of power was not thorough enough. The Great Khan only directly controlled Harwanhu, and the leaders of other tribes were very powerful.
Although he made his sons the leaders of each household, over time, the relationship became estranged, just like the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Western Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. The relationship between the vassal states and the Han emperor was estranged, and it was difficult to call on them.
Moreover, he died early and failed to unify the Oara into his system, and some of the smaller tribes in Mongolia were not integrated, such as the Horqin tribe, which is now very powerful and is still loyal to the Manchu Tatars."
Zhu Canjun has done a lot of research on Mongolian history. From his name, we know that he is a relative of the Ming Dynasty and a descendant of the Chu vassal. Although he has been out of the vassal for five years and has not been awarded a clan title, after all, he used to be a direct descendant of the Chu vassal and not an ordinary poor vassal.
, received a good education, and later joined the army, serving as a member of the emperor's personal guard, then entered the martial arts hall, and then went to the cavalry academy. Now he is also a fifth-grade officer.
Sun Desheng was not close to Zhu Canjun. He always felt that he was from the royal family and could not get too close. Moreover, he always looked royal and noble. His leather boots were always polished and his clothes were always polished.
He was clean and tidy and spoke politely, which Sun Desheng, who was born as the son of a groom from Jiangnan, disliked very much.
Sun Desheng likes to use foul language, but he is also very brave and tough in battle. He is also relatively straightforward with soldiers at ordinary times. He will scold him if he does not do well, and sometimes even whip him. Zhu Canjun always likes to criticize him, which makes him dislike Zhu even more.
join the army.
But as he listened, he understood that the group of Mongols they had just killed were actually quite strong.
I also understood that Aimaike is a group of Ayinle people of the same race who nomadically live in the same area. It is a branch of the tribe and a combination of close relatives. However, Otok is only based on geographical relationships, and there may not necessarily be kinship between Ayinle people.
relation.
Aimaks can be large or small, and they can vary greatly. Sometimes an Aimaq is an Otok, or even an Ulusi (tribe), but sometimes several Aimaks constitute an Otok.
The Mongols they destroyed were an Otok, composed of Ubandai and five other Aimaks of the Taiji family. They could gather a thousand warriors. They robbed this Black Wind River pasture, so
It can be called Black Wind River Otok, they all belong to Sunit, the Uluth.
Although the Sunit tribe has a long history. It is said that before Chengsiji Khan, they were nomadic in the south of Lake Baikal. However, as a part of Chahar, they were only eight of the ten thousand households in Chahar.
One of Otok.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Tengjisi rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Beitou and Khalkha, he only brought more than 3,000 people with him. However, in recent years, due to the early rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, especially the Ming
After supporting them, the Tengjisi brothers looted and annexed other tribes everywhere, and now they claim to have ten thousand households.
After being canonized as Sunit Khan by Zhu Yihai last time, he became even more ambitious.
It was under the instruction of the Tengjisi brothers that Ubundai and the others robbed this fertile pasture and formed a new Otok.
"Let's go!"
The Mongolian felt tents have been dismantled, and the cattle and sheep have been rushed together. The supplies are carried by horse-drawn carriages, bullock carts, camels, etc. The defeated and captured young Mongolian men have their hands tied, while the women and children are only tied around their waists.
strung together with a rope.
The more than 900 Mongolian soldiers who were beheaded were beheaded and packed away, and their headless bodies had been dug and buried.
The smell of blood filled the grassland.
An Otok was destroyed as soon as it was established.
The three Aimaq lords were tied up and tied to the tail of their horses, looking downcast.
Cattle and sheep migrate with them.
······
Early in the morning.
Zhu Yihai was still sleeping in the tent when Wang Zhiren came to report that Sun Desheng from the Cavalry Academy was back.
"In Wubandai, Taiji, Shida was beheaded by the formation. More than 1,000 Mongolian tribesmen were killed by the formation. More than 900 were killed by the formation, and more than 100 were captured. The remaining women, children, including slaves, cattle and sheep, etc., were all brought back."
"We've arrived outside the camp."
Zhu Yihai was not surprised when he heard the news.
Although Sun Desheng only brought one cavalry with a thousand warriors, they were the elite cavalry from the Royal Cavalry Academy in the imperial capital, the most elite Ming cavalry, equipped with muskets and even cavalry cannons.
"How many casualties did Sun Desheng's men suffer?"
"More than ten casualties."
Zhu Yihai nodded, "Go and inform the princes of the three tribes of Khalkha and Monan to welcome him together."
When Brother Tengjisi saw the heads of two Taijis, Ubandai and Shida, thrown at their feet, they almost fainted. Those five Taijis were all their confidants. Although they were not the most capable of fighting, they were also extremely capable.
Those who were loyal and brave would not have been assigned to the Black Wind River Ranch otherwise, and he also asked them to form an Otok.
But now, their heads were thrown at their feet, and the other three Taijis were also tied up and pulled in front of them.
The emperor ascended the throne.
The Khans, Taiji and others sat down on the left, while on the right were the ministers accompanying the Ming Dynasty.
Sun Desheng led the royal cavalry to a prisoner presentation ceremony.
More than 900 heads, more than 100 prisoners, and then one Otok was executed.
Cattle, sheep, horses, camels, felt tents, etc.
The ceremony was very lively.
But the faces of the Mongolian princes were solemn, especially the Tengjisi brothers of Sunit, who looked frightened and uneasy.
Zhu Yihai coughed and the whole place fell silent.
The old site of Xanadu had blue sky, white clouds, and green grass, but these heads and prisoners broke this harmonious atmosphere.
"Tsuke, please tell me."
Wang Zhiren stepped forward and began to talk about the previous covenants and rules between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes, especially what the emperor repeatedly explained when he summoned the brothers Sunit Tengjisi not long ago.
"What did they violate?"
Wang Zhiren began to list their crimes one by one, including grazing across the border, attacking other tribes, plundering other tribes' livestock, plundering other tribes' populations, and even enslaving other tribes, as well as buying and selling Han people as slaves, hiding Han people as slaves, and other crimes.
“What should I do?”
"According to the crime, Tengjisi, Tengjite, and many Taijis should be killed, their titles and titles should be taken away, and their cattle and sheep should be confiscated..."
Teng Jisi knelt down and kowtowed, loudly begging for forgiveness.
"I know I was wrong, and I am willing to repent!"
Zhu Yihai sat there, looking at the other Mongolian princes. All the Mongolian tribes in Mobei and South Mongolia, three tribes from Mobei came, and eighteen tribes came from Monan.
Horqin and other seven or eight tribes have not yet come to surrender, and there are also some tribes that have come to surrender, and some princes and some tribesmen are still following the Manchus.
The Sunit Tribe has expanded rapidly in recent years, and has been very swollen. It has attacked and plundered other tribes everywhere, and has offended many people. However, when they heard that crimes were punishable by death, these princes could not help but feel sad.
Zhu Yihai kept these in his eyes.
Speak slowly.
"Any meritorious deeds shall be rewarded, and those guilty shall be punished. Since we made a covenant at the beginning, we must abide by it, otherwise it will be a piece of paper. The covenant made at the beginning was also for the Han and Mongolians to be united, each to be safe, and to protect everyone. Sunit acted
, hurt all the tribes, and failed me."
"Everything is the same. I have reviewed and explained it to everyone one by one."
"First of all, what is the crime for crossing the border as a nomad?" the emperor asked.
When the young Chahar Khan Abtai was called, he stood up and said, "You should be punished with a hundred camels and a thousand horses."
"Okay, remember, if Sunit crosses the boundary of nomadism and violates one of the boundaries of another tribe, he will be fined a hundred camels or a thousand horses. Now it is found out, how many boundaries of Sunit have been violated in total?"
"Sunit Yue's four sub-buns, Abaga, Wengniute, Keshiketeng, Kalaqin, and my Ming Dynasty Taipu Temple Ranch, Rites Ranch, Honglu Temple Ranch, Royal Royal Horse Factory, and Mulan Paddock
, Huaihuang Town, Zhangbei Royal Ranch, Yuyi Town, Dushikou Royal Ranch and other boundaries, a total of fourteen boundaries."
Zhu Yihai nodded, "If you cross one boundary, you will be fined one hundred camels and one thousand horses. If you cross fourteen boundaries, that means one thousand four camels and fourteen horses.
I thought that Sunit was the first to join me and it was a meritorious service, so today I have issued a special decree to be lenient and fine one-tenth. According to records, Sunit crossed the line fourteen times, and a total of one hundred and fourteen camels and one thousand fourteen horses were fined."
"Let's discuss the second item."
The emperor's voice was not loud, but Teng Jisi's voice sounded like thunder from the sky, making his whole body tremble.
