The Mongolian princes were all ready to look at the Jurchens in Liaodong and regarded them as a piece of fat meat on their lips.∈◆,

However, at this time, Liu Jun's eyes had shifted from this area, and he looked to the west. The northeastern land was determined, and the Mongolian princes in the south and north of the desert were either surrendered or destroyed, and the Jurchens had to escape north in a mess. Next, there were Mongolian princes who fought against the Jurchens in the east, and the court only needed to observe the formation from behind. When the Mongolian and Jurchens were almost killed, the court would make a final decision.

The Mongolian tribes in the east have surrendered, but there are Mongolia in the west.

The western Mongolia is also called Moxi Mongolia or Erut Mongolia, which was called Oyila in the Yuan Dynasty and Oirat in the Ming Dynasty. The Mongols are mainly composed of grassland people and forest people, and later became Eastern Mongolia and Western Mongolia. The eastern Mongolia is the headquarters, but later it was divided into northern and southern parts of the desert, while the western Mongolia is mainly Weila.

The Oirats were originally Oirati, the people in the forest. They originally lived in the Bahe area in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River. They were numerous and had several branches, each with their own names.

After Genghis Khan was founded, he had a united marriage relationship with Genghis Khan's golden family and had always enjoyed a special status in Mongolia to personally regard the kings.

To put it simply, the relationship between the Oirats and Mongolia is equivalent to the relationship between the Korqin and the Qing Dynasty. The Oirats and the Borjikin family are in a united marriage relationship, and the same is true for Korqin and Aisin Giorqin.

Later, the Yuan Dynasty royal family declined, Ola took the opportunity to expand its strength and actively participated in the disputes between various Mongolian factions. They were once powerful, with the name of 40,000 Weilath. In addition to the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, their jurisdiction also included the upper reaches of the Ertisei River and the Zabuhan River Basin in the southeast of Kobdo.

The Oirat competed with the Mongolian nobles in the eastern region who controlled the Khan throne, and even dominated the northern part of the desert.

During the era of Tutuobu Buhua and Yesian, in the Battle of Tumu Fort, they annihilated the main force of the Ming army, captured Ming Yingzong alive, and came to the city of Beijing.

However, later, the eastern Mongolians revived under the leadership of Dayan Khan, and the Oirat moved to the northwest region. Their power once expanded to the Yili River Basin.

"Your Majesty, now all the Oirat tribes have been merged into the four major divisions of Junggar, Dulbert, Hoshuot, and Turgut. In addition to the four major divisions, they are mainly Huit tribes attached to Dulbert."

The staff officer of the Privy Council reported to the emperor in the imperial tent.

After Dayan Khan unified the Eastern Mongolian headquarters, he once placed Wei Lat under his rule. However, the Wei Lat tribes did not rebel and subjugate. Dayan Khan's grandson Altan Khan was strong for a while when he was in power and drove the sect leader Chahar to Liaodong. Later, he also tried to bring the Wei Lat tribes in the northwest under his rule. After repeated expeditions, Wei Lat sometimes surrendered and sometimes rebelled.

Under pressure from Altan Khan, the Weila people took advantage of this situation and the tribes planned an alliance. Among them, the Heshuot tribe moved in later. They were originally a part of the Korchin tribe from **********, and later named Heshuot and became a member of the Werat.

Therefore, Hoshuot is the only branch of the Weila tribes with the bloodline of the Golden Family. The Ministry of Weot, Choros, Dulbert, Turgut, Batut and Barhu jointly recommended Hoshuot minister Bobemil as the Khan of the Weila League. Bobemil Khan presided over the reconstruction of the third Weila League for 20 years.

However, in the decades since then, the tribes in the northern desert frequently attacked the Vlater Alliance, and the Vlater divisions were deeply involved in internal strife and had very weak strength.

Just when the Han Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes in the south and north of the desert met at Chifeng, the tribes in the west of the desert were not willing to be lonely, and they also held the Weilath alliance not long ago.

In September, the tribes met with twenty-seven leaders, including He Orluk and Shukuldaiqing from the distant Ejile River, Heshuottubai Hugus Khan from Qinghai, Junggar Ezirtu Chechen Taiji and Baturhong Taiji, etc.

The information discovered by the Jinyiwei detective showed that this alliance was obviously caused by the drastic changes in the eastern Mongolia. Weilath's re-alignment changed the chaos caused by the previous internal strife and united again.

Their alliance was due to the rise of the Han Dynasty. During this alliance, the tribes jointly formulated the Weila Code.

The tribes used the Code of Erath to determine the integration of the Alliance of Erath, and used the Code of Erath to determine the whole of the divisions of Erath to be united, responsible for each other, unified action, and unified will.

Article 1 of the Code clearly stipulates that when a great enemy attacks, the tribes of Weilat inform each other, and all tribes are unanimous in opposition to the enemy. Those who receive the report but do not yet make formations shall be punished with hundreds of armors, hundreds of camels, and one thousand horses; ten pairs of armors, ten peaks, and hundreds of horses.

It is clearly stipulated that during wartime, the various ministries respond to each other, support each other, and fight together is an unshirkable responsibility.

Articles 2 and 3 of the Code stipulate that the various ministries of Erath shall not invade or plunder each other. At the same time, the problems of prisoners of war, immigration and fugitives between Erath will also be resolved by legal provisions, with the purpose of eliminating disputes and strengthening unity.

Article 8 of the Code also has strict regulations on sending troops to fight. When an enemy attacks, if "heard the enemy will not report", "escape from the timid battle" or "will not save him when he sees death", no matter whoever is the army, he will be held legally responsible, and severe punishment will be imposed, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded.

There are more than 100 specific provisions in the entire code.

The Code also stipulates that the Huang Cult is a religion shared by the Weila tribes and should be protected, and all corvee and taxes are exempted from all Buddhists.

In addition, the Code also stipulates that Khan, Hongtaiji, Jinon, Morgen, Daiqing, Chuhul and Tabuang are inviolable and their power should be protected by law. Infringement of them with words and actions is prohibited, and violators shall be punished.

The code also clarifies the territorial boundaries of the four major tribes. The northernmost point is Dulbert, and the grazing is on the right bank of the middle reaches of the Ertitz River to the upper reaches of the Ishim River; the Hoshuot tribe is centered on Tarbahatai and Ili, and the grazing is on the vast area of ​​the Urumqi River to Lake Balkhash, south to Urumqi, Tianshan Mountains, and west to the Chuhe River Basin; the Choros tribe is located east of the Hoshuot tribe, centered on Hebukshari, north to the left bank of the upper reaches of the Ertitz River, east to Altai, south to the Junggar Basin; the Huit tribe is grazing in the Yuledus River Basin.

At this alliance, Gushikhan, the leader of the Heshuote tribe, proposed to take a military action against the Han people to teach the Han people the northwest expansion.

According to the spirit of the newly established code, Eziertu Chechen, his Abalai, Baturhongtaiji and his younger brother Chuhuer Ubash, Huit Minister Suledan and others led their troops to join the coalition forces. Turkut Shukurdaiqing specially sent an expeditionary force from Ezile.

The goal of the coalition forces is Qinghai.

Dayan Khan's grandson, Tumot Altan Khan, once sent troops to Qinghai to control this area. After Altan Khan controlled Qinghai, he met with Sonam Gyatso, the leader of the Qinghai-Tibet Yellow Sect and the then lord of the Drepung Monastery.

The two met very happily. Altan Khan immediately converted to Sonam Gyatso. The 35-year-old living Buddha Sonam Gyatso announced his 71-year-old new disciple as "Zaklavardichechen Khan"

"Zaklavardi" is the Sanskrit word "Wheel-turning King", and "Chechen" means "intelligence, wisdom" in Mongolian terms. This means the beginning of the Mongolian nobles' conversion to the Yellow Sect. Since then, a large number of Mongolians began to enter Tibet to study the scriptures, and the Yellow Sect gradually immersed in the later history of the Mongolians.

It is impolite to come but not go, Altan Khan then gave his master the title of "Saint Knowledge of All Wazirdaladadalama", which is the original origin of the system title of the Dalai Lama Living Buddha.

The meeting was historic and had a very long-lasting impact.

To put it bluntly, this is actually the heads of two different leaders who have made a certification between each other.

I admit that you are a secular leader, you admit that I am a religious leader, and both sides support each other.

The so-called "Saint consciousness All Wazierdala Dalai Lama" is a name that combines Brahma, Mongolian and Tibetan. Among them, "Saint consciousness All Wazierdala" comes from Sanskrit, meaning "Vajra", which is a Bodhisattva with an extremely important status in Tantric Buddhism; "Da Lama" is Mongolian, meaning "the sea"; "Lama" is the "guru" in Tibetan. "Saint consciousness All Wazierdala Dalai Lama" combines it to "the vast Vajra Master as the sea".

And this sea means Gyatso in Tibetan, which coincides with the name Sonam Gyatso. It is obviously customized for him by Altan Khan.

From then on, Sonam Gyatso became the first great lai Lama, but he recognized the two great lai Lamas upwards and called himself a great lai Lama for three lifetimes. In fact, the great lai Lamas began with him.

This alliance was the alliance between the Yellow Sect and the Mongolian nobles in Tibet. With the help of the alliance with Altan Khan, Sonam Gyatso consolidated his position as a religious leader. Although the zodiac was not the religious orthodox in Tibet at that time, at least he had become the supreme leader of the Yellow Sect and even surpassed the leader of the then sect.

However, just four years after the two met, the elderly Altan Khan passed away, and the strong Tumot also began to weaken. However, the Huang Cult had already begun to take roots and sprout in Mongolia.

Six years after Altan Khan's death, Dalai Lama passed away for three lifetimes.

In order to compete with other sects in Tibet, the Huang Cult Group claimed that Altan Khan's great-grandson was the reincarnated spiritual child of the three great sects.

The Huang Sect in Tibetan Buddhism gave birth to a Mongolian child as a reincarnated spirit child, which was obviously a trick.

The Mongols who had already begun to believe in the Huang Cult were naturally happy. They formed a coalition force and escorted the spiritual children into Tibet with force to shock those forces dissatisfied with the Huang Cult. Since then, Altan Khan's grandson officially sat on the bed in Lhasa and became a great strategist for four generations.

However, at that time, although the Huang Cult was growing stronger, the strongest was not the Huang Cult. In addition to religious power, there was also a secular regime. At that time, the Tibetan Pakhan family ruled Tibet. The Kam Kagyu sect, a group of the Tibetan Pakhans who believed in the White Sect, hated the Huang Cult, and the conflict between the two sides continued to intensify.

Later, Zangpahan killed the young fourth generation and banned Dalai's reincarnation. In the end, it was because the monks of the Huang Sect cured Zangpahan's disease that Dalai was allowed to reincarnate.

The fourth generation reincarnation is a six-year-old boy from Tibet, whose father name is Luosang Gyatso, which is translated into Chinese as "Shanhai".

Since then, neither the Huang Sect nor the Zangpa Khan was able to destroy each other. The Huang Sect has become more and more powerful in the Tibetan area, while the Zangpa Khan has mastered the upper class, and both sides have their own arms to support themselves, thus forming a delicate balance.

But five years ago, at the secret invitation of the fifth generation's teacher Luo Sang Qujie, Gu Shihan, the leader of the Weilat Heshuot tribe who was originally grazing in the Western Regions, suddenly led his army to attack Qinghai.

The fifth generation gave the title of Gushikhan Danzeng Kejie, which means the Dharma King of the Dharma.

Gushikhan intended to imitate Altan Khan's actions and strengthen his status through the title of Huang Cult Dalai Lai. He led his troops, together with some of the Junggar troops of Baturhuntaiji, to enter Qinghai and defeated the Quetukhan Arslan and his son who were entrenched here.

After that, he attacked the Ganzi area and eliminated the local Bailitusi. The war lasted for one year. Gushikhan occupied all the areas ruled by Bailitusi. The tribes such as Dege, Ganzi, Dengke, Baiyu, Shiqu, and Markang in northern Sichuan became the ruling areas of Heshuot Mongolia. Gu Shikhan captured and executed Dunyuedouji, and released all the Gelug and Sakya sects who were imprisoned by Bailitusi. As a result, Gu Shikhan received admiration and gratitude from all the lamas of the various sects in Tibet except the Bon religion.

However, at this time, the Han army advanced westward.

Zheng Zhilong led his troops to recover Shaanxi and Gansu and recovered the Hehuang Valley area in Qinghai.

Zhang Shan and Cai Yuan's troops entered Sichuan from Hanzhong, then crossed Daxue Mountain, controlled the eastern part of the Tibetan area along the Sichuan area, and established Xikang Province.

The Han army's advance was extremely fast, which was beyond Gushikhan's expectations, and became another powerful force entering Qinghai-Tibet.

Especially Zhang Shan's troops seized Ganzi and other places in the southeast of the Tibetan area, which was captured by Ganzi and other Gushikhan, which caught Gushikhan, who was preparing to lead his army to Tibet, off guard.

Gushi Khan rode south for a while and was able to enter the Tibetan area in one fell swoop, annihilate the Tibetan area, and control the entire Qinghai-Tibet. At that time, he supported the Huang Cult and protected the Lord of the Yellow Cult, and became the supreme ruler of the entire Qinghai-Tibet region, forming a situation where the Mongolian Khan and the Huang Cult Dalai jointly ruled the Tibetan area.

But the sudden advance of the Han army broke this situation.

The Han people not only seized a lot of territory he captured, but also established two new provinces, Xikang and Qinghai. Their ambitions were obvious. Gushihan could not tolerate his victory when the fruits of his victory were ripe, but they were picked by the Khans.

In order to protect his victory, Gushikhan actively contacted the tribes of Weilath, which led to this Weilath alliance, the Weilath Code, and the Weilath coalition.

After the formation of the coalition forces, Gushi Khan of the Hoshuote tribe and Baturhuntaiji of the Junggar tribe were headed eastward, preparing to fight with the Han army in Qinghai and drive the Han army out of Qinghai-Tibet.

They also planned to continue to take advantage of the victory to march into the Tibetan area, annihilate the Tibetan Bahan, and include the entire Qinghai-Tibet alliance in the Wei-Lath League.

Liu Jun could not have imagined that Moxi Mongolia would show his knife to him at this time.

"As far as I know, the strongest of the Wei Lat tribes is now Baturhuntaiji of the Junggar tribe. This is an ambitious person. He expands his power on the North Road of Tianshan Mountain. Is it right to unify the Wei Lat tribes?"

"That's true, Your Majesty. The Junggar tribe is now the strongest. Therefore, the leader of the Turgut tribes and Orlq among the four Weilater tribes and the herders of the Dulbert tribe and the Hoshuot tribe moved westward to the lower reaches of the Volga River. Gushikhan of the Hoshuot tribe was determined to attack Qinghai-Tibet, and Baturhuot tribes had always supported him, because they had already agreed. The Junggar tribe supported the Hoshuot tribe to capture Qinghai-Tibet. After the Hoshuot tribe took Qinghai-Tibet, its original territory would be returned to the Junggar tribe."

There is no way to accommodate two tigers in one mountain, let alone the four powerful tribes. Therefore, as soon as the Junggar became stronger, the Turguts immediately forced them to move westward to Russia. The Dulbert tribe chose to surrender to the Junggar.

Even Gushikhan, the leader of the Weilath League and the Hoshuote tribe, had to choose to go south to Qinghai-Tibet even if he had a Khan position.

They are all easy to plot, but because of this, they want to be enemies with the Han Dynasty, they are a little too confident and overestimated.

Originally, Liu Jun also believed that after the eastern Mongolian tribes surrendered, the Moxi Mongolians should be able to take over without fighting. Now it seems that they cannot be defeated without experiencing blood and fire. (To be continued.)
