It was called Yiwu in ancient times, and it was named Yizhou in the Tang Dynasty.
Xiang is the throat of the Western Region, and China defends it.
Airim followed several royal guards of the Ming Empire in gorgeous armor into the city. Burke, the leader of the Uzbek Mingge tribe, had been sizing up the city.
Hami is well-known in Central Asia. It was once the westernmost territory of the Ming Dynasty, but it gained three times and lost three times. After the Mongols occupied Yiwu, it was renamed Hami. Later, Wunasli, a descendant of Chagatai in the Yuan Dynasty, established the Hami Kingdom in Hami.
.
Zhu Yuanzhang appeased Buyan Timur, the leader of Sali Uighurs west of Jiayu Pass. After setting up the Seven Guards of Guanxi, he pushed his troops to the gate of Hami. Wuna lost his place and refused to surrender. He was defeated and the city was broken, and he fled westward.
They had no choice but to declare their vassal status, and the Ming army withdrew their troops after forcing Wuna Shili to surrender.
Zhu Di later also named Anke Timur, the new king of Hami, as the loyal and shun king, and together with Buyan Tiemur and King Anding of Guanxi, they became the two most western vassal vassals of the Ming Dynasty.
Later, when Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he also granted the title of King Zhongyi in Hami.
However, after the Tumubao Incident, the Ming Dynasty basically completely lost its actual control over the west of Jiayu Pass. The Turpan Khanate that split off from Eastern Chagatai, although it belongs to the same Chagatai branch as Hami Kingdom, Turpan
In order to fight for control of the Silk Road, they began to attack Hami.
However, in the 18th year of Chenghua, Gansu garrison Wang Xi used the Seven Guards of Guanxi to attack Hami at night, defeated the Turpan garrison, successfully recaptured Hami, and later named Hanshen, the nephew of the original Hami king, as the new loyal and shun king.
During the Hongzhi period, Aheima Khan of Turpan used a trick to trap Hanshen and recapture Hami again. However, he later withdrew from Hami due to threats from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty established Shaanba, a descendant of the Meng Yuan royal family, as the Zhongshun King.
But not long after, Hami officers withheld the Ming Dynasty's rewards to Turpan and plundered the Turpan people's cattle and sheep, prompting Ahema to march eastward again. Not only did he capture Hami again, he also captured Shaanxi and Ba, and marched to the Gansu border.
The Ming army sent the governor of Gansu to send troops. The Ming army general led 4,000 people to march westward to Hami. As a result, the Turpan army ran away, leaving an empty city behind. Once the Ming army withdrew, they came back to occupy it.
Later, Turpan Khan Mansuer reached a peace agreement with his younger brother Yarkand Khan Said, so he was able to invade Gansu with confidence, directly surrounded the city of Gansu, and killed the guerrilla Ruining.
Later, Zhu Houzhao led his army to fight against the little Tatar prince. At the same time, he also sent Chen Jiuchou, the military deputy envoy, to join forces with the Wala people to attack Mansuer. Turpan was defeated and sued for peace, but from then on, everything west of Jiayu Pass was controlled by the Turpan Khanate.
During the Jiajing period, Turpan made a comeback again and attacked Gansu for the second time. However, this time, the Waci people sided with the Turpan people. The Ming Dynasty sent the Minister of War to supervise the military affairs and defeated the Turpan army under Suzhou City.
However, after the war, the Ming army failed to take the opportunity to march westward to regain the Seven Guards of Kansai and Hami. There was a fierce struggle within the Ming Dynasty due to the Great Ceremony. The Turpan people lied that the invasion of the border was because Chen Jiuchou, the governor of Gansu, deliberately provoked trouble. As a result, Jiajing actually set off
In the prison of Fengjiang, more than 40 people including Chen Jiuchou were punished, and Yang Tinghe, who dared to defy the emperor in the great ceremony, was also dismissed from office.
Jiajing took the opportunity to attack the Dali Yi faction and strengthen its authority, but the Ming Dynasty also completely lost the Seven Guards of Kansai and Hami. The Ming Dynasty finally gave up Hami and acquiesced to the occupation of Hami by the Turpan Khanate.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed.
Who would have thought that the Ming Dynasty would actually come back again.
And it's still coming back so strongly.
He Zhuo of the Baishan faction in Hami led the Burkes to riot and captured the city of Hami. They were about to dedicate it to Junggar, but the Ming army suddenly arrived.
The Burkes thought they were coming from the Dzungars, but when the cavalry entered the city, they discovered that they were actually the Ming Emperor's cavalry.
They reacted too late. The Ming army quickly took over the city. The Burkes refused at this time. As a result, the Ming army was not polite to them. A gunshot was fired and the whole city was purged.
Zhang Yong rushed to Dunhuang three days later to report to the emperor that Hami was completely under control.
Hami City had a population of 20,000 to 30,000 people inside and outside the city, but only 2,000 to 3,000 were left at this time. This god of death showed no mercy to those who dared to resist with arms.
When he came to report, there were no natives left in Hami City, and they were all escorted back to Dunhuang.
From the time when King Hami was granted the title in the 13th year of Hongwu to the time when it was annexed by Turpan Khan, Hami lasted for eleven generations, one hundred and thirty-five years.
After that, it was occupied by Turpan Khan and Yarkand Khan for more than a hundred years.
Now it has been recovered by the Ming Dynasty.
After regaining Hami, the emperor also moved to Hami, renamed Hami Yizhou Prefecture, established prefects, county magistrates, etc., and set up the imperial camp Yiwu Yuying, Yiwu patrolled and guarded me, Yiwu Tun Town, and set up Yiwu Station, Yiwu
Feng et al.
Daming's attack this time was a bit lightning fast.
The Baishan sect was caught off guard, and the Junggar people were also unexpected. They were preparing to join the Baishan sect, but the Ming Dynasty picked the peaches first.
But their secret agreement with the Baishan Sect cannot be made explicit.
I originally wanted to say that Hami and Turpan were all returned to the Junggars before, but the Ming Dynasty replied that Turpan and Hajime were previously allocated to the Junggars, but the Junggars themselves were lost. The last time when the nations of the world convened an alliance, it was agreed that Hami would be returned to the Ming Dynasty, and Turpan would be returned to the Junggars.
Hotan belongs to Heshuote.
Zhu Yihai had no intention of spitting out the meat that reached his mouth.
He was not Jiajing. In order to consolidate his imperial power and attack Yang Tinghe and others, he gave away the country's territory and imprisoned the soldiers guarding the border.
In the past, Ming Dynasty accepted and abandoned three times, but Zhu Yihai would not give up.
Not only did the Seven Guards of Guanxi have to actually immigrate and settle there, but Hami also did the same.
Airimu secretly looked at Hami City and the army in the city along the way.
There was not a single native with a knotted head in the city, not a single Uighur with white hat, black hat or red hat, nor the Gyligis, the main force in the Yarkand army.
It seems as if the tens of thousands of Hami natives have never appeared here.
It seemed like it all disappeared overnight.
Although the city and streets are still there, and the style of the houses here is still the same, it is now full of people from the Ming Dynasty.
The armor is bright and the cannons are majestic.
There are strict security guards in the city.
Airimu was extremely shocked. What an incredible amount of strength he must have to be able to do this.
Finally, he arrived at Hami Palace.
This was the original palace of King Hami, and later the residence of the Governor of Hami. It is now the palace of the Ming Emperor.
When he was led to the emperor by the guards, the leader of the Mingge tribe couldn't help but kneel down.
"Airim, do you want to be a Khan? Do you want to rule the entire Fergana?"
The emperor spoke a word that made Airimu's heart surge with excitement.
"think."
Airimu responded without hesitation.
"Very good, as long as you can agree to some of my conditions, I can make you the king of the outer vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and support you in establishing your own khanate in the Ming Dynasty. I have even thought of the name of the khanate for you, Dawan
Khanate."
The emperor sat there condescendingly and seemed to be talking casually, but the content was very shocking.
Airimu had no doubts about the emperor's ability.
Just like the city of Hami, it was owned by the Ming Dynasty in the blink of an eye, and not even a single native was left.
As one of the seventy-two Uzbek tribes, the Mingge tribe is not very strong.
As descendants of the Golden Horde, the Uzbeks established the Uzbek Khanate. Later, the Shaybani destroyed the Timurid Empire, unified the Transoxiana region, and established the Shaybani Dynasty.
Later, Ilbars, also from the Shaban family, drove away the Persian governor in Khwarezm and established the Khiva Khanate.
The Shaibani dynasty was founded a hundred years ago. Its capital was originally located in Samarkand, but later moved to Bukhara, so it was also called the Bukhara Khanate. The last Khan died of illness and had no heirs, and the throne was passed to his son-in-law.
His son-in-law came from the Astrakhan Khanate. After Tsarist Russia annexed the Astrakhan Khanate, a prince took his son Zani to seek refuge in the Braha Khanate. As a result, the Khanate passed to the Zani family.
The Bukhara Khanate also changed from the Shaibani Dynasty to the Zani Dynasty or the Astrakhan Dynasty.
Although several generations of Khans of the Zani dynasty also worked hard to strengthen centralization and rule the country with religious laws, which led to a short period of prosperity, after all, he was a foreign son-in-law who succeeded to the throne. The Uzbek clans did not accept it, and the separatist forces of each clan became increasingly powerful.
, and the internal strife in the royal family was also very fierce.
At the same time, the Safavid Dynasty of Persia, the Mughal Empire of India, and the Khiva Khanate also took the opportunity to invade frequently, and the Khanate became increasingly weak and divided.
As one of the seventy-two Uzbek tribes, the Mingge tribe is not very strong.
They live in the fertile Fergana Basin, but in this basin, like other parts of the Bukhara Khanate, they are basically governed by the small and large kings and become feudal lords.
These Hezhuo have extremely high prestige in the local area, and each of them is divided into one party and has strong strength.
At this time, the Zani Dynasty was experiencing internal and external troubles, and it was difficult for government orders to leave Bukhara. The Mingge tribe had always wanted to stand on its own feet, but lacked strong foreign aid.
But now the Ming Emperor wants to support them in establishing their country.
He was very excited and believed in the emperor.
Nowadays, these khans in Lianghe and other places are basically canonized by the Ming Dynasty. Even the two major kingdoms of Safi Persia and Mughal India have friendly exchanges with the Ming Dynasty.
"I wonder what His Majesty the Emperor needs from our Mingge Department?"
Zhu Yihai smiled and said, "I know you hate those Hezhuo people in Bukhara?"
Airim also answered directly: "Our Mingge tribe has also converted to Christianity with Uzbek Khan long ago, but I can't stand those Hezhuo who have not received strict academic training, but pretend to be the incarnation of the true god in front of believers.
, especially those mendicants who use the name of fake saints to defraud..."
Zhu Yihai has long heard of some of Airim's actions. He is a more sincere man, or he has a more fierce power struggle. Bukhara is now in power with the Zhuo people. They are autonomous in the local area and each call themselves Burke.
The actual feudal lords were large manor landowners, large businessmen, large ranchers, etc., who were very wealthy.
The Minge tribe is a clan tribe, and Airimu is actually a Burke. He also wants to separate himself and stand on his own, but his ambition is even greater. He wants to establish a khanate, even replace Bukhara, and even conquer Khiva and reunify the entire river.
In the hands of the Uzbeks.
The biggest obstacle standing in front of him now is not the Zani dynasty of Bukhara, but the local lords and Zhuboks.
Airimu used the excuse of being more serious to attack He Zhuo. If someone said that he could float in the air and water, he would let him perform in public. If someone couldn't do it, he would immediately have his men stone him to death. He also
Capture all the dervishes who are extremely capable of brainwashing and send them all to the desert to feed camels.
Through these simple and crude methods, he defeated a large group of He Zhuo who opposed him, and then intimidated and subdued more He Zhuo. He then united with the Sunni faction, built a large sect school in the territory, and even took his sister
Married to the biggest king in the Fergana region to stabilize his power position. As soon as his position was stable, he killed his donkey and banished his brother-in-law. Through various means,
The original situation of Hezhuo autonomy in Fergana has turned into a situation where the Hezhuo people have been eliminated by him, and the Mingge tribe is dominated by one family.
This is a capable person, although he is a bit of a burner.
But for Zhu Yihai, there is no need to worry about this.
What he liked was the bearded man's toughness towards He Zhuo, and his ability to disrupt the situation. Supporting him to establish the Dawan Khanate and naming him the loyal and shun king of the Ming Dynasty only muddied the waters further.
Historically, the Mingge tribe established itself from Braha a few decades later and established the Kokand Khanate, which had a great influence on the future situation of Central Asia.
Yarkand is about to be destroyed and divided, and the next one is the Junggar Khanate.
The emperor had not yet started to attack the Dzungars, but had already begun to support the Mingge tribe's Airim to establish the Dawan Khanate on his own, so as to cause chaos in Bukhara and Khiva in the river.
Win in chaos, only in chaos can you have a chance, only in chaos can Ming intervene in a clear and just manner.
Moreover, the Kazakhs were also separated from the Uzbek Khanate. They called themselves Kazakh-Uzbeks, which means wandering Uzbeks. Zhu Yihai not only wanted to disturb the river, but also had to prevent the Kazakhs from taking advantage.
Although the Ming Dynasty also believes in green, in order to build the country now, he will rely more on the strong support of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention converting him, but surrendering to the Ming Dynasty and acting as the Ming Dynasty's troublemaker in the river is absolutely fine.
Moreover, Fergana is a treasure land. It is the most suitable place for farming in Central Asia. It has more advantages than the Ili Valley. Moreover, it also produces sweat-blooded horses and is also an important section of the Silk Road.
To make friends from afar and attack at close range, first draw a thug from afar.
At that time, it will not only contain Persia and India in the south, but also provide some food and grass for the Ming Dynasty, and open up the Silk Road trade.
Everyone gets what they need.
As for whether the Dayuan Khanate will be in trouble in the future, Zhu Yihai is not worried.
Now the first goal is to destroy Yarkand, then use this as bait to destroy Junggar, and then Bukhara, one by one.
As early as the pre-Qin era, our ancestors had mastered the art of combining vertical and horizontal lines.
After capturing Hami, Ming Dynasty successfully took another step towards the Western Region. This is a good place, even though there is no one there now.
It seems like we only got an empty city, but for Zhu Yihai, an empty city with no one is the best.
Hami has more than 5 million acres of cultivable land, and as many as 50 to 60 million acres of natural grassland. There are also coal, iron ore, etc. The resources here can fully support 1,200,000 or more people.
.
What the Ming Dynasty needs now is time, immigration, and settlement. Given time, this place can become the pearl of the Ming Dynasty's Western Regions, an important military base, and a large border trade city embedded in the Western Regions.
Time, Zhu Yihai needs some time to digest and develop, supporting Airim can buy more time.
Airimu and Zhu Yihai reached a series of secret agreements, and agreed to send a daughter to marry him when he returned, and two sons to serve as bodyguards. Then he knelt down and left excitedly. The emperor immediately summoned Cheban, a native of Nogai.
The Nogai people, also known as the Caucasus Turks, established the Nogai Khanate after the split of the Golden Horde. They nomadic on the Kipchak grassland on the Caspian Sea, and later split into the small and large Nogai Khanate, etc., and now, in the north of the Black Sea, the Nogai Khanate
The Nogai people were subordinated to the Crimean Khanate, and those north of the Caspian Sea were annexed by the Kazakh Khanate.
The Nogai people were named after Nahai, the clan king of the Mongolian Jochi family.
The part conquered by Kazakhs became the main part of Xiaoyuz, while those who migrated to the Crimean Peninsula became the cavalry of the Khanate. In addition to herding horses and camels, they mainly captured Slavs and gave them to the Crimean Tatars.
Tartars were trafficked to the Ottoman and Bukhara Khanates.
After the Nogai people lost their khanate, they are now scattered all over the country, but these people are very tough. Zhu Yihai summoned several tribal leaders of the Nogai people and began to draw cakes for them.
As long as they surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor will support their restoration of the country on the Kipchak grassland (from the Aral Sea to the north of Ukraine).
The Nogai people, who had become mercenary cavalry, were excited upon hearing this.
The emperor smiled and drew cakes and supported the restoration of the Nogai people, but that was just a stumbling block for Kazakhs and even Tsarist Russia and Khiva.
