After the court discussion ended, a while later.

Zhu Cixuan spent these days, except for following Chongzhen to learn how to deal with government affairs, and his other time was basically spent in various confidential library books of the Ming Dynasty. The main purpose was to study the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia.

There was not much information about the Qing Dynasty, but as a long-time enemy who had been in love and fighting for hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty was very detailed about the information about Mongolia. Many of the records were at the level of palace secrets, and various gossips made people's eyes wide open, and Zhu Cilang also enjoyed it.

On this day, Fang Gonggan knocked on Zhu Cixuan's door: "Your Highness, the latest information about Qinghai Tibet has been sent."

Considering that Qinghai Tibet is a very large and sparsely populated place, Fang Gonggan was able to collect a batch of information in just two or three months, and this ability is undoubtedly very good.

Zhu Cilang took the information in front of him and took a look, then his brows gradually frowned.

"Good guy, this Heshuo Special Division is so powerful?"

The Hoshuote tribe is a member of the Oirat Alliance and is a hereditary leader of the Oirat Alliance.

Why is it said to be nominal? Because the characteristics of the nomadic people in the Mongolian grassland destined to have the final say who has the biggest fist.

Originally, the Oirat Alliance was decided by the Junggar tribe of the Grand Tutor Yesen, but after Yesen died, the Junggar tribe fell into civil strife. The Hoshuote tribe rose with the trend and became the veritable leader of the Oirat Alliance for a period of time.

The good times did not last long. In recent years, the Junggar tribe became stronger again and joined forces with Vatu Khan in the Khalkha Medal to suppress the Khshuot tribe.

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

At this moment, an opportunity came to Gushihan, the leader of the Heshuote tribe.

The Gushi Khan's name is Borjijin Tulubaihu. He is the 19th generation grandson of Habtu Hasar, the younger brother of Genghis Khan. He is a member of the Mongolian "Golden Family" in a broad sense. He is a hundred times stronger than Liu Bei's self-proclaimed grass-headed king.

Since Gushi Khan once resolved the conflict between Oirat and Watu Khan, he was regarded as the "national teacher". The "national teacher" in Chinese in the Ming Dynasty used the Mongolian word to be "Gushi", so it was called Gushi Khan.

At this time, the Russians had crossed the Ural Mountains to expand to Central Asia. At this time, the Central Asian overlord was the eldest son of the Junggar tribe in the Wei-rat alliance. As the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers, and the conflict between the two sides is naturally inevitable.

So the center of gravity of the Junggar tribe temporarily turned northwest to defend against Russia, and the pressure on Gushikhan, located in southern Xinjiang and western Qinghai, was greatly reduced.

Immediately afterwards, a major event also happened in Tibet, adjacent to the Heshuote tribe.

Tibet is close to India, the birthplace of Buddhism, so it is the whole nation that believes in Buddhism, but it is divided into multiple sects and hates each other.

After the Karma Kagyu Sect ascended the throne, they attacked and killed each other with the Gelug Sect, and found the Khalkha Mongol in the northern desert to open up most of Qinghai and enter Tibet from the Mongolian Plateau.

The upper class of the Gelug Sect was extremely shocked, knowing that they were facing a major crisis of life and death.

At a critical moment, after discussing with other senior officials, the IV Panchen Lama decided to station in southern Xinjiang and Qinghai, and also enveloped Gushi Khan of the Gelug sect to lead the Hoshuote tribe into Tibet to protect the faith of the Gelug sect.

Gushikhan took advantage of the situation and led the Heshuo army to the south, fought a series of wars with Quetu Khan in Qinghai and Tibet, and finally successfully killed Quetu Khan and Tsangpa Khan, helping the Gelugs to win a complete victory.

From then on, Gushi Khan became the supreme ruler in control of the entire Tibetan region as the "protector of the Gelug Sect's donor", forming a situation where the Mongolian Khan and the Gelug Sect leaders jointly ruled Qinghai-Tibet.

And this happened four years ago.

It was also last year that Gushikhan had his ten sons stationed in the middle and west of Qinghai, maintaining stability in this rear and guarding against attacks from Khalkha and the Ming Dynasty.

It was only last year that Gushikhan sent an envoy to secretly pay homage to Emperor Shunzhi for the first time, expressing his willingness to make friends with the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Cixuan pondered for a while and suddenly asked a question: "Why did Gushihan only send people to guard Qinghai and his southern border no longer want?"

Fang Gonggan hurriedly said: "After Gushikan left, southern Xinjiang was immediately seized by the Junggar tribe."

Zhu Cilang was stunned for a moment and said for a moment: "So that's it."

The historical context that was originally stuck in Zhu Cilang's mind was connected again.

In history, after Junggar seized southern Xinjiang, he unified the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and his power increased greatly, holding back the Russians and preventing Russia from being involved in Central Asia.

The Russians had no choice but to continue to advance eastward, occupying the vast and sparsely populated Siberia north of the desert and Mongolia, and finally arrived at the Bering Strait.

During this process, the Russians clashed with the Qing Dynasty in the Heilongjiang River Basin. The then Qing emperor was Kangxi, the son of Shunzhi.

Kangxi had just suppressed the Three Feudal Rebellion, and it was just when he was full of ambition. Where did he take the Russians from the west seriously? He immediately sent troops to clean up Russia.

Finally, the two sides bargained and directly divided the savage Jurchens and the Buryat Mongolian territory here, namely the Treaty of Nebchu.

The Treaty of Nebchu is a very magical treaty. Both sides of the signing are actually very profitable, but both sides are resentful and feel that they have suffered a great loss.

Although Kangxi took over the east, the powerful Junggar Mongolia in the west came again.

The Junggar was not satisfied with the capture of southern Xinjiang and Central Asia. Galdan, the then leader of the Junggar, also hoped to continue to annex the Khsot Khanate that ruled Qinghai-Tibet.

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

Why did Kangxi have to save Heshuote? Because the national policy of the Qing Dynasty was "United Manchuria and Mongolia", while the national policy of the Junggar was "Unified Mongolia".

For the Qing Dynasty, all the Mongolians were my Jurchens' younger brothers.

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

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

Unless any of the two sides are willing to give up their national policy, these two sides will end up endlessly.

Then start fighting.

The Qing-Zhu War broke out.

Although the Qing Dynasty was very strong, Junggar was not a weakling. The two sides fought several times and had a back and forth.

During the Qing Dynasty, there was the glory of the imperial commander in the Kangxi period to personally expedition the Ulan Butong to annihilate the 100,000 Junggar troops, and during the Yongzheng period, fourteen ministers above the second rank died in the first battle, He Tongbo was defeated. In summary, both sides were injured.

After a full seventy years and three generations of emperors (Khan), the more unstable Junggar finally collapsed due to internal and external troubles.

Qianlong, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, was overjoyed when he heard the news. He decisively sent troops to pick up a big advantage, ate most of the territory of the Junggar Khanate, leaving only some scraps for Russia in the north.

From then on, the Qing Dynasty unified most of the Mongolian tribes on the earth, truly realized the "Manchuria-Mongolia alliance", and its territory reached its peak, which was the most common version in history textbooks.

Qianlong took action too quickly, which made him angry that the then female tsar in Russia, Catherine II, known as "Emperor Catherine", cursed the Qing Dynasty for being greedy and robbed Northeast Asia and even robbed Central Asia.

However, the Qing Dynasty was not inferior to the Russian Tsarist state at this time. In addition, geographical factors made it difficult for Russia to concentrate heavily in the direction of the Qing Dynasty. Catherine II, who knew that there was no hope of revenge, had no choice but to trouble Ottoman Turkey, and then divided three waves of Poland with Prussia and Austria, which was the end of the fire.

...

Scenes of historical situations passed by Zhu Cilang's mind, and he breathed a sigh of relief and closed the information.

Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong?

Sorry, nothing more!

Now, it is our turn to Ming Dynasty to slowly compete with these Mongolians and Russians!
Chapter completed!
