For Emperor Zhu Yihai, his biggest enemy was not the Yarkand Khan family, but the Black Mountain sect and the Zhuo people of the Baishan sect.
Apart from the different colors of their hats, there is not much difference between the black and white factions.
Mahatum Azamu is the source of these two sects. He is the fifth leader of the Naqshbandi Sufi order. The White Mountain sect was founded by his eldest son Ishankaran, who is also the sect’s fifth leader.
Six religious leaders.
After Azamu passed away, the eldest and the youngest began to compete for the position of leader.
In the end, the eldest brother fought for the position of leader, while the youngest Ishaq failed and was ostracized everywhere. Finally, he accepted the invitation of Abdul Halim Khan of the Yarkand Khanate to preach in Yarkand.
He was very capable, simplified teachings, etc., recruited many disciples, gradually became stronger, and established the Black Mountain Sect. Then he actually looked down on Abdul Halim Khan, and was expelled from Yarkand. He preached for twelve years in Yarkand
In 2001, he left behind sixty-four agents (caliphs) and returned to Central Asia.
Later, Mahema Khan succeeded to the throne and invited him to return to Yarkand. However, he was already old, so he sent his seven-year-old son Saadi to Yarkand. Saadi was named a national advisor by Mahema Khan.
After Yishankaran won the position of leader, he devoted himself to suppressing his younger brother and drove him away to Yarkand. Many years later, he found that this younger brother had established the Black Mountain Sect in Yarkand and was doing a lot of things.
Hot, how can this be done?
So he sent his fourth son Yu Sufu to preach in Yarkand, but he arrived too late. How could the Black Mountain sect in Kashgar accommodate him?
He sent Yu Sufu to Southern Xinjiang. Firstly, he couldn't bear to see how his little brother was doing well in Southern Xinjiang. He was the leader and the direct lineage. Secondly, he was getting older and he was also facing the problems he had in those days.
I had the same problem as my father, I had a lot of sons, but the position of leader could only be passed on to one son, so I sent the fourth son to southern Xinjiang to compete with the younger brother for followers.
The fourth child went to Mecca for pilgrimage and came directly to Kashgar. Yarkand Khan still respected Hezhuo, who was a saint. He originally wanted to use Yu Sufu to balance Saadi, but at this time, the Montenegrin sect was in Yeqiang.
The Erqiang Khan had already been deeply entrenched in the country. After a lot of pressure, Latifu Khan had to expel Yusufu from Kashgar.
Yu Sufu did not go back, but rode a donkey to Hami.
Hami is far away from the headquarters of the Montenegrin sect and is in an independent state. After he went there, he first married the daughter of a local nobleman and became his son-in-law. He stayed in Hami for sixteen years. In addition to giving birth to three sons and two daughters, he has been living in Hami.
He preaches quietly and secretly pays attention to his cousins Sadie and Zhuo, who are powerful in the court.
Anyway, Yu Sufu relied on burning cold stoves in Hami, and later wanted to support a prince to overthrow the Khan's throne and seize the leader's position, but his efforts failed in the end. After the death of his cousin Saadi, he almost succeeded, but
Those of the Montenegrin faction firmly disagreed, and were eventually expelled by the Khan. They died helplessly and sadly on the way.
After the death of the cousins, their sons continued to inherit their legacy and led the black and white factions to develop in Yarkant.
Yu Sufu's son Hidayetullah became the leader of the Baishan sect, and was honored as Apak Hezhuo. With Hami and Turpan as its base camp, many Sufi sects in the Shaanxi-Gansu area were passed down from him.
, he even went to Lhasa to meet the great lama, hoping to seize power from the Montenegrin sect with the help of various forces.
Previously, the Junggars and others jointly captured Hami and Turpan, and then the Ming Dynasty recovered the Seven Guards of Guanxi, suppressed the rebellion in Shaanxi and Gansu, and dealt a fatal blow to the Baishan Sect.
But they did not give up. Under the conspiracy of the Baishan faction led by Hidayetullah, Hami and others launched a rebellion and recaptured Turpan and Hami.
In this year's Junggar attack on Hami and others, the Baishan faction also actively contributed.
The White Mountain Sect once thought of entering Shaanxi-Gansu and other inland areas to preach and use the power of the Ming Dynasty and even the Oirat to defeat the Black Mountain Sect. Who would have thought that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be so sensitive or even hostile to the Green Sect, beating them so hard that they couldn't tell the difference between the Southeast and the Southeast? northwest.
Many of their disciples and grandsons were killed during the rebellion in Shaanxi-Gansu, and only a few fled back to Hami and other places. They wanted to be used as backup, but who knew that they attracted murderers.
If the Ming Dynasty could accept the Sufis, in fact Hidarajetu even planned to defect to the Ming Dynasty directly. As long as the Ming Dynasty was willing to accept them and ensure their wealth and status in Yarkant, it would not matter if they led the way and surrendered.
After the Yarkand royal family was wiped out, they and Zhuolai directly managed the place.
It's a pity that now that we have encountered someone like Ming Dynasty who is completely anti-green, there is no way to invest.
However, the young Hidayatullah followed Yu Sufu since he was a child, and he also worked hard to get there. If this road in the Ming Dynasty is not accessible, then he should find another way.
Zhu Yihai has received the secret report. The Baishan faction has fought several battles with Junggar this year. As a result, Hidayetullah is secretly communicating with Batur Khan of Junggar. He expressed his willingness to lead the way for Junggar to destroy Yarkand, and he is also willing to lead the way for Junggar to destroy Yarkand. Turpan, Hami and other places were handed over, on the condition that Junggar appointed him as the governor of the four cities in southern Xinjiang. Yarkand, Kashgar, Aksu, and Khotan were under his command, and he was required to support the Baishan sect and ban the Blackshan sect.
In Hami and Turpan, one of his brothers served as governor respectively.
The terms of the transaction were very straightforward. The Yarkand Khanate, which had been established for more than a hundred years, was betrayed in exchange for the White Mountain Faction replacing the Black Mountain Faction. In the future, their Baishan Faction and his family would directly rule all parts of southern Xinjiang. After the old Yarkand Land, It is part of the Junggar Khanate, so there is no problem with paying taxes, military service, etc.
But Junggar Khan also had to recognize their rule in southern Xinjiang.
The Baishan sect later rebelled and became local hereditary lords. The Junggar people believed in the Yellow religion, but they could not be interfered with to persuade them to convert to the Green religion.
As long as Batur Khan agrees to this condition, they are willing to serve as the leading party, not only handing over Turpan and Hami, but also leading them to take over important towns such as Kashgar and Yarkand.
Such conditions are very attractive to Junggar.
But for Zhu Yihai, this kind of transaction is not allowed. After all, it has been agreed long ago that the coalition forces will divide Yarkant after destroying Yarkant, especially to ban the Green Sect.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Baishan faction is traitorous to the country, and the Junggar people live alone. How can this be possible?
The Baishan Sect is no longer satisfied with preaching in the east, and is not even satisfied with returning to southern Xinjiang. They want to directly replace the Yarkand Khanate and become the religious and secular ruler of southern Xinjiang. In order to achieve this condition, they identified Gar as their successor. Sect Master, it doesn't matter.
Yarkand has hundreds of thousands of household registrations. As long as he can become the actual master, ****, hereditary replacement, any conditions are worth it.
"Such a deal will never be allowed. Your Majesty should directly summon Junggar Khan, or even confront him in front of other Khans." Wu Yi said bluntly.
Zhu Yihai did not speak.
Although the Ming Dynasty regained the Seven Guards of Kansai, it still lacked sufficient justification to enter southern Xinjiang, especially since Junggar was quite powerful and Yarkand had a population of hundreds of thousands of households.
If we directly intervene and block this transaction now, it may not be the best strategy.
Perhaps Zhu Dadian saw the emperor's intention and stood up and said bluntly: "I think there is no need to worry. The Baishan faction wants to riot to lead the way and lead the Junggars to destroy Yerkang. This may not be a bad thing. I suggest that we stay put and let them destroy Yerkang first."
Erqiang."
Zhu Dadian's words made everyone think.
Wu Yi believed that this was very dangerous, "If Junggar was allowed to succeed, how would he be willing to spit out the fat in his mouth after killing Ye Erqiang?
How to deal with it then? If the Junggars are allowed to annex the Yarkands, the balance of the Western Region will be broken. When the Junggars become the dominant family, how can we control it?"
Zhu Dadian said bluntly: "We have already agreed on a plan to carve up Yarkand when all parties met before. Even if Junggar sends troops to destroy Yarkand, as long as the court signals the other khanates and has the backing of the court, they will
Are you going to let the Junggar family monopolize Yarkand?"
"Won't Junggar give it?"
"If the Junggars are really so ignorant, they will attack in groups when the time comes." Zhu Dadian's words were very crazy.
However, if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable. The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. Even if the Baishan sect leads the way, after all, the Yarkands with hundreds of thousands of households are not weak. If the Junggars want to monopolize it, they will have to pay a lot of money.
Small casualties.
After he finally captured Yarkand, the imperial court asked him to hand over his territory, population, etc. as agreed upon by the Khans of Heshuote, Kazak, Jorut, and Durbek. Will Junggar give it or not?
If you give it to them, it means that your hard work has been in vain, and you have to pay a lot of casualties to attack and destroy Yeerqiang on your own, but in the end, you have to let others get the benefits for nothing.
If they don't give it, all the khanates will besiege them, and the Junggars won't be able to swallow the meat that just reaches their mouths.
Regardless of whether he vomited it or not, in the end, even the Junggars could not swallow the meat of Yerqiang.
"In ancient times, two peaches killed three men. Now, as long as the Junggar swallows the Yarkand, it will put him in a dilemma. If he fails to steal the chicken, he will lose the rice."
Zhu Yihai thinks Zhu Dadian's words are correct. Even though Junggar and Heshuote belong to Oirat, they are only an alliance. They have been fighting back and forth over the years. They will never be monolithic. Facing a common enemy
Sometimes, they can still form an alliance, but once there is a conflict of interests, they will definitely get a bloody blow.
Aren’t the interests of a Yarkand State not big enough?
For the Ming Dynasty, if the Western Regions were so quiet, it would be difficult to have a chance. On the contrary, it would muddy the water, so that they could fish in troubled waters.
Yan Wogong even made a very bad suggestion, "You can wait until the Baishan faction leads Junggar to send troops, and then secretly send some information to the Black Mountain faction and Yerqiang Khan. By then, there will be riots and sneak attacks, and we can cooperate inside and outside, and maybe we can still
It can turn into an ambush, surrounded, and brutal killing."
One is worse than the other.
However, there is no warmth at all between countries. If you really want to talk about it, it was Junggar who betrayed the alliance and took it all for himself.
Zhu Yihai had a smile on his face.
This is Dances with Wolves.
Startled every step of the way.
If we take a closer look at the Mongol Empire, or these countries of the Mongol family, such as the Golden Horde, Blue Horde, White Horde, Chagatai Khanate, Yarkand Khanate, etc., they all have one great characteristic.
That is the system of enfeoffment, which means enfeoffment when there is prosperity and enfeoffment when there is defeat.
It is difficult for these Mongolian countries to have centralized power. The feudal kings and governors will continue to split and rebel. For example, the Chagatai Khanate has been unable to stabilize for three generations and has continued internal strife. The split Timur
The empire also did not grow strong for long. The Eastern Chagatai Khanate had been in existence for more than a hundred years and was almost always in internal strife.
The internal strife of the Mongols, coupled with the sectarian struggle of the Green Religion, if these are brought together, isn't it just a fool's errand?
It would not be bad to use the big fish of Yerqiang to deal with Junggar for a while. In the eyes of others, Junggar is no different from Heshuote, but on the emperor's side, Junggar is in the little black book.
