It turned out that after the Yuan Dynasty was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Yuan Shun led his troops back to Mobei, trying to maintain his rule and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
However, Mongolia's nomadic economy could not support the previously established unified empire. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di continued to divide and attack various Mongolian tribes. The Mongolian nobles gradually broke away from the control of the Golden Family, and the Mongolian grassland once again returned to the state of separate tribes.
During the mutual attacks on each other, the Mongolian tribes located in the western part of the grassland (an alliance composed of Durbot, Turhut and other tribes) and the Tatars (composed of Chahar, Tumote, Horqin and other tribes in the eastern part of the grassland) Alliance) became the two strongest tribes on the grassland.
Because the Tatar tribe is the direct descendant of Genghis Khan's golden family and is quite popular on the grasslands, they have been conquering Oara, hoping to unify all Mongolian tribes and restore their past glory.
Since the Tatars had always been under the banner of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was worried about their comeback, so while attacking the Tatars, they also attracted Oara in order to weaken Mongolia's strength.
In order to protect himself, Wala deliberately distinguished himself from the Golden Family, secretly showed his favor to the Ming Dynasty, and secretly accumulated strength.
Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was a heroic man and he understood the purpose of Wala.
Therefore, after severely inflicting heavy losses on the Tatars, he did not eliminate the Tatars. Instead, he appointed Arutai, the Taibao of the Tatar tribe, as the Ming Dynasty's chief minister, Grand Master Guanglu, and King Hening, in order to contain Oala.
Then he used troops against Oara to try to keep the forces of Tatar and Oara in balance and check each other to avoid harming the Ming Dynasty.
However, after the death of Zhu Di, the Ren and Xuan sects were not very active in the crusade against the Mongolian tribes. In addition, there were many talented people in Oara. Finally, the leader of Oara Tuhuan took control of the Mongolian Khan and issued orders to the Mongolian tribes.
After Tuohuan's death, his son also surpassed his father in talent and ambition.
After taking control of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he unified the Mongolian Monan, Mobei, and Moxi as well as the Northeastern Uliangha Three Guards and the Jurchen Guards who were originally enshrined and established by the Ming Dynasty. Then he used troops against the Ming Dynasty in an attempt to restore the past. Rivers and mountains.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was headed by Ming Yingzong. He was deceived by the eunuch Wang Zhen and led a personal expedition, and finally became a prisoner of Walla due to a combination of internal and external attacks.
Although he was defeated by Yu Qian one after another and failed to take over the Central Plains and restore Mongolia's former glory, his military exploits in capturing Ming Yingzong made him unparalleled and made him more arrogant.
Although he was already the Grand Master of Beiyuan at this time, he felt that this status did not match his strength and attempted to go further.
After his peaceful pursuit of the Khanate failed, he actually met the then General Dai Khan in battle. General Dai Khan was defeated and fled, and was later killed by his former father-in-law.
Not long after the death of General Dai Khan, he used his power to intimidate various Mongolian tribes and became the Great Khan of Mongolia. He called himself the "Great Khan of the Heavenly Sage of the Great Yuan Dynasty" and named him "Tian Yuan".
Ye Xian became more and more arrogant after ascending to the throne of Khan. At this time, not only the Golden Family was dissatisfied with him, but also many people within Wala were resentful because Ye Xian was too domineering and only safeguarded the interests of his family.
Later, the Golden Family took advantage of the civil strife in Oara to defeat Ye Xian. After this defeat, Ye Xian remained arrogant and was eventually killed by the leader of the Yongxiebu tribe. As a result, Oara was expelled to the Tianshan area, and the Golden Family rose again.
However, the rise of the Golden Family was short-lived and fell into division again due to internal competition.
After nearly a hundred years of warfare, the Mongolian tribes formed three parts: Monan, Mobei and Moxi, centered on the desert by the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Monan Mongolia mainly includes Horqin, Chahar, Tumut, Ordos and other tribes. After the rise of Nurhaci, they took advantage of the internal struggle in Mongolia and formed alliances with Horqin and other tribes through marriages and other methods.
The various tribes in Monan gradually surrendered to the Jurchens while following Nurhaci in the war.
Only Chahar, the nominal leader of Monan Mongolia, and a few other tribes were dissatisfied and attacked Horqin to challenge the Jurchen authority in an attempt to regain their dominance. However, they were defeated by Huang Taiji in the eighth year of Chongzhen.
In desperation, the Chahar tribe had no choice but to offer the imperial seal to beg for surrender, and the Jurchens unified Monan Mongolia.
Although the Chahar and other tribes also intermarried with the Jurchens and seemed to have surrendered to the Jurchens, they secretly had relationships with the Zasak Tuhan, Tushetu Khan, Chechen Khan tribe in Mobei, and the Durbot and Zunga tribes in Moxi.
They contacted Er, Torgut and other ministries in an attempt to overthrow the Jurchen rule.
The Jurchens also had this concern, so they were always on guard against the Mongolian tribes and were unable to invade the south with all their strength.
If it weren't for the auspicious blessings from the sky, and Bumbutai was worried that Dorgon would be unable to control the southern invasion after it gained power, they would not have come out in full force this time.
Although Dorgon knew the dangers of this trip, because he had previously received a letter from Wu Sangui requesting troops, he thought Wu Sangui was willing to surrender and could win a quick victory, so he led his troops here.
Unexpectedly, he had been here for more than ten days and had repeatedly tried to persuade him to surrender, but Wu Sangui still refused to express his position.
In desperation, he had to use the fake grain and grass matter to make a deal with Bumbutai, and only after receiving Fan Wencheng's support did he formulate this plan.
It's just that although this plan has a high chance of winning, if it fails and loses its soldiers, the Jurchens may not be able to suppress the various Mongolian tribes.
Just as he was meditating, Dodo's worried voice sounded: "Brother Fourteen, if it is as you said, once we fall into a war in the Central Plains and the various Mongolian tribes take the opportunity to revolt, wouldn't we be in danger of destruction? "
Dorgon nodded heavily and said: "This is also what I am worried about. It's a pity that she can't see this. She still hopes that Hauge and I will return defeated in order to consolidate her son's status. It's really sad!"
A flash of anger flashed across Duoduo's face, and he immediately said: "Brother Fourteen, this time I personally lead the troops. I will capture Shanhaiguan within five days and put an end to that woman's thoughts."
Dorgon shook his head and said: "No, although this method has a high probability of success, the risk is also very high. You must not take the risk. You should let Hong Chengchou take the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty."
"Once they are familiar with the situation in the customs, they can adapt to local conditions."
"Secondly, even if it is damaged, it will not weaken our strength."
The reason why Duduo wanted to lead his troops just now was firstly because he wanted to win the battle quickly, and secondly because he wanted to use this to wash away the previous humiliation.
At this moment, when he heard that the Han Eight Banners were allowed to go, he immediately objected: "Brother Fourteen, the Han Eight Banners are a group of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death. How can you make it happen if you let them go?"
Dorgon glanced at Duduo and said solemnly: "Fifteenth brother, I know what you are thinking."
"But don't underestimate Hong Chengchou and others. They are all people with plans, but they just don't really surrender."
"I deliberately let them attack the city today, just to catch their mistakes and put them to death. Then they will have no choice but to fight hard."
"As for your credit, I've thought about it for you, so you don't have to worry!"
Hearing this, Duduo still wanted to argue, but saw a personal guard coming in to report that Zu Dashou was outside seeking an audience.
