Zhu Yihai finally waited for the news from Qinghai.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei, Ma Jixiang, excitedly rushed to the mountain to personally report the recent progress of the situation to the emperor. Gushi Khan was dead and Dayan ascended the throne in front of the White House in Lhasa.
"Handu has made preparations to make arrow furnaces in Kham District. He plans to formally convert to the Nyingma religion and establish himself as a khan in Kham District. He hopes to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty and also wants to buy firearms."
"Dalai Dorji has also returned to Qinghai and will soon come to Riyue Mountain to pay homage to the Holy One. He also hopes to become a Khan on his own in Qinghai."
Zhu Yihai looked at the report with a smile on his face.
When Gushi Khan Tulubaihu was in power, he was indeed a fierce tiger, but after all, he was seventy years old, especially after the triumphant return of the Western Expedition, he was a bit arrogant, and he never thought that he would be beaten by those around him.
What's more, what is more unexpected is that once he dies, his children and grandchildren will fall apart.
"The Shigatse Diba Noble started an uprising based on the Shigatse sect of the 13 sects of Weizang. Each household recruited one soldier. This man was a great nobleman of Houzang. In the war between Weizang and Bhutan a few years ago, he was in command.
He led the Tibetan troops to attack Bhutan.
Previously, Suonan Raodan handed over Shigatse and other three places to the Jiba Diba family, which aroused his strong dissatisfaction. Later, the Jixue Diba family left two places and returned Shigatse to Suonan Raodan.
It was given to Noble, but Dayan refused and demanded that Noble return it.”
"Now that Gushi Khan has died, the Fifth Emperor gave Dayan Khan the title of Danzin and recognized him as the official successor of Danzin Cuijizaleb Gushi Khan, whose full name is Danzin Dayanzaleb Khan. Noble
As soon as I heard the news, I immediately raised troops in the rear area and planned to attack Lhasa and even attack the Gelug sect."
Noble is a powerful and powerful man in the later Tibet, but he did not originally believe in the Gelug sect. He, like the red-hatted monk Pakmuwa who is now hiding in Taijina, Handu, Kham, is a Nyingma sect.
It is obvious that the reason why Noble Diba started an uprising in Shigatse at this time is not simply because Dayan did not want to give Shigatse to him. There must also be the actions of Jinyiwei and the emperor's instructions behind it.
The muddier the water, the better you can fish.
"There is also a rebellion from the Kagyu sect Diba in Gongbu."
Since Gushi Khan entered Tibet, there are now many Diba officials in Tibet. Diba Sonan Raodan, who is in charge of government affairs, has a high position, and Diba Xiong has also begun to be established in the local area, especially many leaders in Houzang.
People are accustomed to calling Diba. This title originally comes from Disi. The title of Zangba Khan's family was originally called Disi, also called Disi.
Now there are two types of senior local officials of the Khoshote Khanate in Tibet, one is Zongben, and the other is Diba. Zongben belongs to Liuguan. There are thirteen sects in Weizang, and each sect has the highest chief executive called Zongben.
Rotates every year.
The local Diba, however, is a hereditary tribal leader.
Gushi Khan actively promoted the Zongbenliu official system in order to strengthen the Khan's control over the local area, but of course the powerful local tribal leaders and powerful men preferred to maintain their hereditary feudal status.
This contradiction has always existed, and the battles between the red, yellow, and white flower sects and other factions have made things even more complicated.
The Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty secretly communicated and instigated. These local powerful people who were dissatisfied with the Heshuote Mongols, or other sects of the Yellow Sect, naturally took advantage of Gushi Khan's death to start an uprising.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the surrender of Usi Tibet, Tibet has experienced successive regimes such as Pazhu, Sakya, Yajiaoba, Renbeng, Xinxiaba, etc., and then Gu Shihan led the Heshuote Mongolians to enter Tibet.
He captured Tibet, also captured Amdo and Kham, and even went on an expedition to the Western Regions.
"Tell Handu and Dorji that you have to work hard to get what you want,"
"If they want weapons and equipment, they can sell them secretly. Try to be as low-key and secretive as possible, and don't make it known to everyone."
The emperor's subtext was that he did not need to pay too much attention to the newly succeeded Dayan Khan and the Fifth Emperor.
that day.
Zhu Yihai met Bash Batur, the tenth son of Gushi Khan. This young man was very tired from running all the way, but when he saw the Emperor of Heaven, he immediately knelt on the ground and asked the emperor to save his mother.
"I have sent people to investigate the case and look for your mother. We will definitely find out the facts."
Zhu Yihai picked up the young Mongolian boy, patted the dust off his body, and then named him Huitaiji, made him a guard before entering the imperial court, conferred on him the title of Marquis of Yushu, and gave him a marriage.
"First stay with me with peace of mind. One of your sisters and a niece are now in my palace. I will not treat you badly."
Bashi Batur used to be one of Zhu Yihai's cheap brothers-in-law, and now he has become his cheap son-in-law. Although he is young and ignorant, he is also a rare commodity. After all, Gushi Khan's biological son, even if he is a concubine, Gushi Khan died, his children and grandchildren
They competed for the family property of the Khoshot Khanate, so naturally he also had a share.
······
"Your Majesty, I don't think this kid understands anything."
"It doesn't matter whether he understands it or not. What's important is that he is Gushi Khan's son, and he is in our hands."
Zhu Yihai continued to wait on Riyue Mountain.
Three days later, Dalaihuntaiji Dorji came to the foot of the mountain.
He dismounted his horse at the foot of the mountain and walked to the palace and stone castle. Braving the wind and snow, he asked the emperor to make the decision for him. He told in tears how Dayan had an affair with his concubine, how Gushi Khan returned victorious from the Western Expedition, and how he was dissatisfied with Dayan's incompetence when he stayed in Lhasa.
He was even appointed as the successor to the Khan throne.
As a result, Dayan immediately asked his concubine Layang to poison Gushi Khan to death, and then he immediately returned to Dangxiong to mobilize troops and force the Lhasa White House to proclaim him Khan.
He now asked the Emperor of Heaven to seek justice for him and to seek justice for his father Gushi Khan. He hoped that the Emperor of Heaven could issue an order to punish his father-killing brother Dayan.
He knelt in the snow under the castle and shouted over and over again.
None of the imperial guards of the Ming army on the castle paid him any attention. No one opened the door or chased him away. They just let him shout there.
Dalai Huntaiji knelt there for a whole day and a whole night.
At dawn the next day, my whole body was almost frozen into a snowman.
When his voice stopped uttering, the gate of the Stone Castle Palace slowly opened, and a group of Jinqiu Forbidden Army came out and took him into the castle.
Although Dalai was wearing a fur coat, she was almost frozen stiff from kneeling in the cold wind and snow all day and night.
After being taken to the castle for a while, I finally regained some energy.
In the afternoon, he saw the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for your son-in-law!"
Several of Dalai Huntaiji's brothers were granted marriage by the emperor. He also married the emperor's righteous daughter, Princess Wuwei, Zhu Deyan. Although she was just a war orphan adopted by the emperor and was originally just a palace servant, she was also a member of the Ming Dynasty in name.
Princess.
Just because of this relationship, Dalai Huntaiji wanted to give it a try.
What's more, he also received many hints and hints from the Jin Yiwei, so it was natural that the emperor was closer to him and wanted him to replace Dayant as the Great Khan.
"Do you have any evidence for what you said?" Zhu Yihai asked condescendingly.
Dalaihuntaiji, whose face was frostbitten, immediately reported the story he had prepared for a long time, including the witness he had about Layang, the murderer of Gushi Khan.
"Layang is in your hands? Has she admitted the crime?"
"She confessed and said that Dayan had instructed her to do this. She also said that Dayan had promised that after Gushi Khan was killed and he took the position of Great Khan, he would make Layang the concubine.
Tun, and also made her son Bash Batur the king of Qinghai."
"Where is Layang?"
The two of them were asking and answering questions, and beside them were Zhu Dadian, Yan Wogong and other ministers of Qianming Dynasty.
After a long time, Zhu Yihai pondered and told Dorji, "Your evidence is very sufficient. There is indeed reason to suspect Dayan, but the matter is of great importance and involves the internal affairs of the Kashote Khanate. I cannot deal with it directly. I will give it to you."
Dayan in Lhasa, Handu in Kham, and the other seven sons of Gushi Khan in Qinghai, as well as Sonam Raoba and the Fifth Emperor of the Khanate, waited until Qinghai Lake to meet and confront him in court."
"Your Majesty, what if Dayan doesn't dare to come to Qinghai?"
"Whoever dares not come to Qinghai to form an alliance has a guilty conscience and will be tried in absentia when the time comes. Witnesses and testimonies will be brought out, and the princes and princes will make their own decision."
Dorzi was very satisfied with this answer.
That day, after leaving the palace and going down the mountain, he went up the mountain again shortly after, bringing many cattle, horses, gold and silver and other gifts to the emperor, and then left.
Before leaving, he agreed to the emperor's proposal to send people across the Riyue Mountain Pass to Chahantuoluohai Mountain to prepare for the alliance.
Chahantuoluo Haishan is the remnant of Riyue Mountain, which means Baiyun Mountain.
Before Gushi Khan entered Qinghai, he met all the tribes here to make alliances. Later, it became the place where the nomadic Qinghai tribes of Taiji gathered regularly to discuss affairs.
It is located between the east side of Qinghai Lake and the Riyue Mountain. Because of the good relations between the Ming Dynasty and the Heshuote Khanate, it has become an important border market connecting Qinghai to the mainland via the Riyue Mountain.
The emperor now wants to send troops to build Chahan City there on the pretext of preparing for an alliance. In fact, he is taking the opportunity to cross the traditional border of Riyue Mountain and officially enter Qinghai.
Dorji understands in his heart, but does not object. He just wants to kill his brother Dayan and seize the throne of Khan. As for the Ming Dynasty building a city and stationing troops in Chahan, it is nothing. In the future, trade does not need to go through Chiling, and can be done directly.
It is more convenient to trade with Ming merchants here.
What's more, if you want to get the support of your father-in-law, you must give something.
"Dorji is a very straightforward person." Zhu Dadian looked at the gold, silver, cattle, sheep, furs, etc. he sent, which was quite generous.
"Gushi Khan has praised this son more than once, saying that he is braver and more resourceful than Dayan, who is brave but lacks some strategy."
Dalai Hun Taiji got the emperor's promise. As soon as he returned, he immediately sent his disciples to meet the other Taiji brothers in Qinghai. In order to gain the support of these brothers, he directly expressed his position and said that he was willing to give everything that Gushi Khan had left to him.
Take out the inheritance and divide it equally among the brothers.
In addition, he also used the banner of avenging his father and punishing his brother Da Yan for killing his father. There was no reason for Zhu Taiji not to come to Chahan to meet the alliance, both in public and private matters. What's more, he also told Zhu Taiji that the emperor was aware of the matter and made it clear.
support him.
Pulling up a tiger skin as a big flag, all the auspicious people came to Chahan one after another after hearing the news.
February.
Gushi Khan was poisoned and Dayan Khan succeeded to the throne in the White House.
The sixth brother of Dayan Khan, Dalaihun Taiji Dorji, knelt down and complained to Riyue Mountain, crying that Dayan had killed his father and seized the throne. He asked the Emperor of Tomorrow to uphold justice. The Emperor of Tomorrow summoned the princes of Heshuote and Taiji to form an alliance with Qinghai Chahan.
city.
Dayan Khan reported that Shigatse was peaceful, and the Gongbu rebels had no time to come to join the alliance. However, all the other descendants of Gushi Khan arrived. Dalai Hutaiji produced personal and material evidence, etc. The key figure Layang was also present with the emperor and Zhutaiji.
He confessed in front of him and admitted that Dayan ordered him to poison Gushi Khan. The reason was that Gushi Khan was dissatisfied with Dayan Khan and intended to replace Dalai as his heir. Dayan was dissatisfied, so he ordered him to poison his father to seize the throne of Khan.
The result shocked all Taiwanese auspicious people.
In the face of iron-clad human and material evidence, all the princes and princes Taiji denounced Dayan one after another, and Zhu Yihai also took advantage of the situation to put an end to the chaos and ennobled Dalaihun Taiji as Heshuote Dalai Khan to inherit the throne of Gushi Khan.
Deposed Dayan Khan.
Zhu Yihai also conferred the title of Dalai Khan as the Prince of Qinghai County and the Protector of Qinghai Prefecture. He also conferred the title of Handu, the grandson of the First Khan, the Governor of Kangba, as the Protector of Kangba Protectorate and the Prince of Kangding Prefecture.
Dalai sent messages to all parts of Qinghai, as well as Kham, Kashgar and other places and parts of Shuote. He even wrote to his cousin Julut Chechen Khan Eqirtu in Ili, Tianshan Mountains, asking him to also send troops to attack the traitors who killed his father.
Dayan.
Princes Taiji of various tribes went back to gather troops one after another. After Handu returned to Kham, he suddenly announced that he had converted to the Nyingma sect. He also said that his uncle Dayan and his uncle Dorji were not qualified to be called Khans. He made an arrow stove in Kham to support himself.
As Khan, he called himself Saiyin Khan and regarded himself as Heshuote orthodox.
It occupies areas such as Yushu to the south of the Bayan Kara Mountains (Kunlun Mountains), Ganzi and Kangding to the east, Tanggula Mountains to the southwest, and the Jinsha River Basin to the southeast, including Yushu, Litang, Batang, Garze, and Kangding.
All are within its control.
Dalai Khan Dorji also did not expect that he was summoning various tribes to attack his brother, but as a result, his nephew over there separated the Kham region and established himself.
Although he was itching with hatred, after weighing the situation, he could only ignore Handu for the time being, planning to enter Lhasa first to deal with Dayan, regain the throne of the fearless lion, and then attack Handu and regain the Kham area.
At this time, the Kagyu sect in Gongbu also launched an army rebellion, fighting against Noble in Tibet to the east and west. The newly enthroned Tenzin Dayan Khan was about to mobilize troops to encircle Noble in Shigatse, but he did not expect that his faction would
Lao Liu, who returned to Qinghai to mobilize troops, suddenly started his own rebellion.
Especially when Layang actually told the Emperor of Heaven that she was ordered by him to poison Gushi Khan.
This is something that even jumping into the Brahmaputra River can’t wash away.
The angry Dayan sweated and vomited blood, but for a while there were rebels hiding everywhere, and he couldn't get out at all. Faced with his brother's crusade, and even the emperor's edict of guilt, he could only fight off his teeth and
Swallow the blood into your belly, clean it up and hide it before taking care of other things.
He didn't even dare to see the Emperor of Heaven, for he was afraid that once he left Weizang, he would never be able to come back.
For him now, he could only have a chance to appeal to the emperor by defeating the rebels and brothers on the battlefield, otherwise it would be useless to say anything.
However, this time the forces from all sides came with force, and Dayan Khan, who had always been proud and brave, was caught off guard.
The only confidants he could rely on were the four thousand Heshuote cavalry of Damuba Banner.
With these, how can we reverse the decline and demonstrate the authority of Tenzin Dayan Khan?
