Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 261 Chapter 261, Fang Gongqian sent information, Northwest this life and future generations
After the court meeting ended, some time passed.

Apart from learning how to deal with government affairs with Chongzhen these days, Zhu Cihong basically spent the rest of his time in various secret library libraries of the Ming Dynasty. The main purpose was to study the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and Mongolia.

There is not much information about the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but as an old enemy who has loved and killed each other for hundreds of years, Daming’s information about Mongolia is very detailed. Many recorded things belong to the level of court secrets, and all kinds of gossip are even eye-catching. Wide open, Zhu Cihong watched it with gusto.

On this day, Fang Gongqian knocked on Zhu Cihuang's door: "Your Highness, the latest information on Qinghai and Tibet has arrived."

Considering that Qinghai and Tibet are quite a sparsely populated place, Fang Gongqian was able to collect a batch of information in just two or three months, which is undoubtedly very good in terms of ability.

Zhu Cihong took a look at the information in front of him, and then gradually frowned.

"Good guy, this Heshuo special department is actually so powerful?"

He Shuote is a member of the Oirat Alliance and the nominal hereditary leader of the Oirat Alliance.

Why is it in name?Because of the characteristics of the Mongolian grassland nomads, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.

Originally, the Oala Alliance was the final decision of the Junggar tribe of Yexian Taishi, but after the death of the Junggar tribe, the Junggar tribe fell into civil strife, and the Heshuote tribe took advantage of the trend to rise and became the veritable leader of the Oala League for a period of time.

The good times didn't last long. After these years, the Junggar tribe became stronger again, and joined forces with Vatu Khan in Khalkha Mongolia to suppress the Heshuote tribe.

As a last resort, the Heshuo Special Department could only move to southern Xinjiang and western Qinghai in order to survive, but the situation was still quite bad.

At this moment, an opportunity came to Gush Khan, the leader of the Heshuo Special Department.

The name of this Gushi Khan is Boljijin Tulubaihu. He is the [-]th grandson of Habtu Hassar, the younger brother of Genghis Khan. He is a member of the Mongolian "golden family" in a broad sense. Compared with Liu Bei's self-proclaimed The grass head king is hundreds of times stronger.

Because Gushi Khan once resolved the conflict between Wala and Vatu Khan, he was honored as the "National Teacher". It is called Gushi Khan.

At this time, the Russians had crossed the Ural Mountains and expanded to Central Asia. At this time, the overlord of Central Asia was the Junggar tribe, the boss of the Oirat Alliance. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and conflicts between the two sides were naturally inevitable.

Therefore, the center of gravity of the Junggar tribe temporarily turned to the northwest to guard against Russia, and the pressure on Gushhan in southern Xinjiang and west Qinghai was greatly relieved.

Immediately afterwards, a major event also happened in Tibet, which is adjacent to the Heshuo Special Department.

Tibet is close to India, the birthplace of Buddhism, so the whole people believe in Buddhism, but it is divided into many sects, which hate each other.

After the Zangba Khan of the Karma Kagyu Sect succeeded to the throne, he and the Gelug Sect fought against each other, and recruited the Chotu Khan of Mobei Kharkha Mongolia to enter Tibet from the Mongolian Plateau through most of Qinghai.

The upper echelons of the Gelug Sect were shocked, knowing that what they were facing was a life-and-death crisis.

At a critical moment, the fourth Panchen Lama, the leader of the Gelug Sect, after discussing with other high-level officials, decided to invite the Gelug Sect to station in southern Xinjiang and Qinghai, and also entrusted Gushri Khan of the Gelug Sect to lead the Heshuote Troops into Tibet to protect the Gelug Sect faith.

Taking advantage of the situation, Gushri Khan led Heshuo's army to the south, and launched a series of battles with Chotu Khan in Qinghai and Tibet, and finally succeeded in killing Chotu Khan and Zangba Khan, helping the Gelug faction to win a big victory.

From then on, Gushi Khan, as the "protector of the Gelug sect's benefactors", became the supreme ruler-Khan in control of the entire Tibetan area, forming a situation in which the Mongolian Khan and the Gelug sect leader jointly ruled Qinghai and Tibet.

And this was already four years ago.

Also last year, Gushri Khan stationed his ten sons in central and western Qinghai to maintain the stability of the rear and guard against attacks from Khalkha and Ming.

It was also last year that Gushri Khan sent an envoy for the first time to secretly pay homage to Emperor Shunzhi, expressing his willingness to make friends with the Manchus.

Zhu Cilang pondered for a long while, and suddenly asked a question: "Why did Gushri Khan only send people to guard Qinghai, and his southern border is gone?"

Fang Gong hurriedly said: "After Gushi Khan left, southern Xinjiang was captured by the Junggar tribe immediately."

Zhu Cihong was speechless for a moment, before saying after a while: "So that's how it is."

The historical thread that had been stuck in Zhu Cihong's mind was connected again.

Historically, after the Junggar seized southern Xinjiang, it was equivalent to unifying the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. As a result, its power soared, and the Russians were firmly resisted, so that Russia could not get involved in Central Asia.

The Russians had no choice but to continue eastward, occupying the sparsely populated Siberia north of Mobei Mongolia all the way, and finally reached the Bering Strait.

During this process, the Russians in the Heilongjiang River Basin had conflicts with the Manchus for a generation. The emperor of the Manchus at that time was Kangxi, the son of Shunzhi.

Kangxi had just quelled the San Francisco Rebellion, and he was full of ambition. How could he take the Russians from the west seriously?Immediately sent troops to clean up Russia.

In the end, after some bargaining between the two parties, the savage Jurchen and the Buryat Mongolian territory here were directly divided up, which is the "Nerchinsk Treaty".

The Nerchinsk Treaty is a rather miraculous treaty. Both parties who signed it actually made a lot of money, but both sides are worried about it, thinking that they have suffered a big loss.

Although Kangxi took care of the east, the powerful Junggar Mongols in the west came again.

Junggar was not satisfied with taking over southern Xinjiang and Central Asia. Galdan, then the leader of Junggar at the time, hoped to continue annexing the Heshuote Khanate that ruled Qinghai-Tibet.

The Heshuote Khanate had no choice but to ask Kangxi for help. At this time, Kangxi had no choice but to go out to help the Heshuote Khanate and fight Junggar to the end.

Why did Kangxi have to save Heshuote?Because the national policy of the Qing Dynasty was "Unity between Manchu and Mongolia", while the national policy of the Junggar was "unification of Mongolia".

For Manchu, all Mongols are my Jurchens' younger brothers.

As for Junggar, all Mongols should unite under the banner of our Junggar tribe and rebuild the Great Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan.

Both sides want to rule all Mongols, and this contradiction can be said to be completely irreconcilable.

Unless any one of the two sides is willing to give up their own national policy, otherwise the two sides will end in endless death.

Then start fighting.

The Qing Dynasty war broke out.

Although the Manchus were very strong, the Junggars were not weak either. The two sides fought several times, which was called back and forth.

The Qing Dynasty not only had the glory of Kangxi's imperial drive to conquer Ulan Butong and wiped out [-] Junggar troops, but also had the tragic death of fourteen ministers of the second rank and above in Yongzheng's He Tongbo defeat.

After a full 70 years of tug-of-war by three generations of emperors (the Great Khans), Junggar, with its more unstable political system, finally collapsed on its own amid internal and external troubles.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was overjoyed when he heard the news, and decided to send troops to pick up a big deal. He wiped out most of the Junggar Khanate, leaving only some leftovers for Russia in the north.

Since then, the Qing Dynasty unified most of the Mongolian tribes on the earth, and truly realized the "Manchu-Mongolian Union", and the territory reached its heyday, which is the most common version in history textbooks.

Qianlong took action so quickly that he was so angry that the then Russian czarina Catherine II, known as "Catherine the Great," cursed the Qing Dynasty for being greedy and robbed Central Asia after having robbed Northeast Asia.

However, at this time, the Qing Dynasty was not inferior to the Russian Tsarist State in terms of national power. In addition, geographical factors made it difficult for Russia to concentrate heavy troops on the Qing Dynasty. Catherine II, who knew that there was no hope of revenge, had no choice but to go to Finding trouble with Ottoman Turkey, and carve up three waves of Poland with Prussia and Austria by the way, this is the end of the fire.

……

Scenes of historical scenes flashed through Zhu Cihuang's mind, he let out a sigh of relief, and closed the information.

Kangxi?Yongzheng?Qianlong?

Sorry, no more!
Now, it's our Ming's turn to slowly play games with these Mongols and Russians!
