There is no doubt that the contradiction between the Kang State and the Khoshote Khanate is acute and indelible.
This is because in the Kham region, Kang State snatched a piece of meat from the Kashote Khanate and forcibly isolated a country.
Not only that, when Li Zicheng sent troops to Qinghai, he defeated the eight sons of Gushi Khan, the Badai Ji, plundered money and food, and drove them directly back to Lhasa.
As a result, the Ming Dynasty benefited from the situation and regained control of the Qinghai area, establishing Xining Prefecture under the management of Gansu.
In this way, the Ming army not only entered Tibet in Qinghai and threatened Lhasa, but also sent troops to Kang State to attack Lhasa westward from the Kham area.
Therefore, both Gushi Khan and the newly succeeded Dayan Eqir Khan were very respectful to the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to violate it in the slightest.
Therefore, when the Oirat Mongolian relatives and the Heshuote tribe were defeated, the entire Lhasa remained calm and never said anything about sending reinforcements or resisting the Ming court.
Dayan Eqir Khan heard that his cousin had been captured, and prayed in the Buddhist hall for three days. After that, he could only send a congratulatory form to congratulate the court on the victory of Mongolia in Mongolia.
However, he still had a trace of family affection and privately begged the emperor to spare his life.
However, Da Lai and Ban Chan, who had been invited to Beijing and received canonizations, took this opportunity to state clearly:
"Now that the Heshuote tribe in Oirat has disappeared and has become part of the Anxi Province of the Ming Dynasty, the Heshuote Khanate on the plateau seems particularly abrupt."
"Why doesn't the Great Khan ask for his name from the imperial court? Just like North Korea."
Dayan Eqir Khan thought about it again and again, and considering the hostility with Kang State and the threat from Qinghai, he had to make a request.
You must know that although the Khoshuote Khanate is subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, it only offers some horses, yaks, and the so-called Nine White Gifts every year. In fact, it still uses the name of the Great Khan in the country, and there are countless things that go beyond it.
The most obvious example is that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was honored as Chuluo Khan by the Khalkha Mongolian and Monan Mongolian tribes in Chahar, and you are also a Great Khan. Doesn't this put yourself on an equal footing with the emperor?
Asking for a name from the Ming Dynasty is just a reward on the surface. This is how North Korea was given a name, but in fact it is equivalent to complete obedience.
There were more than ten ministers in the Ming Dynasty, but only the princes of North Korea were given honorary guards to the princes. This was a special case.
Dayan Ozil Khan was reluctant, but in the end he was trapped by the situation, especially the Ming army's encirclement and annihilation of the battle of Lat Mongolia, and had no choice but to do so.
From the beginning of the year until the middle of the year, until early July, the good news finally came.
"Khan, good news——"
In the palace in Lhasa, Dayan Ozil Khan watched the singing and dancing. He held his chin with his right hand and listened to the singing girl with dull eyes, looking lifeless.
At this time, the palace prime minister couldn't wait to run over. He ran all the way, directly skipping the dancing girl, and came panting to Dayan'e Qilhan.
"Oh?" Dayan Eqirhan was stunned, and it took him a long time to react.
"What's up?"
"The matter of giving a name." The prime minister took out the silk book from his arms and presented it respectfully. He knew that the Khan was illiterate, so he said directly:
"The Ming Emperor gave the country its name - Weizang."
Dayan Eqirhan was stunned, stood up instantly, held up the yellow silk book and was speechless. He had mixed feelings for a while.
There are a total of three options in the name-giving submitted to Ming Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was named Tubo.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was called Uzang in Han Dynasty.
And his favorite Heshuote.
It's a pity that the Ming Emperor didn't choose any of the three, and directly designated the title Weizang, not following the routine at all.
Of course, this name is not wrong. After all, the herdsmen on the plateau have always called themselves Weizang.
Among them, Wei refers to "Front Tibet", including Lhasa and Shannan, and "Back Tibet" refers to the Shigatse area, which is the monastery area of Dalai and Panchan respectively.
"Wei Zangguo, Wei Zangguo——"
Dayan Ozirhan murmured, his face could not tell whether he was happy or sad.
"In addition to bestowing his name, the Ming Emperor also allowed the princes of our country to enjoy royal ceremonials, and gave him hundreds of official robes, ceremonial robes, musical instruments, and a large number of poems, books, and Buddhist scriptures. It can be said to be extremely generous."
Hearing these words, Dayan Eqirhan showed a smile.
No matter what, these silk robes, especially mang robes, even if all the weavers from the entire plateau were gathered together, they would not be able to embroider an official robe.
Its value cannot be bought.
Such a happy mood did not last long, and suddenly a messenger came with news:
"Kang Guoyan said that our country shot and wounded Li Zicheng during the war, causing his early death, so he specially sent troops to avenge him."
"Fart -" Dayan Ozil Khan was furious: "Li Zicheng, a short-lived ghost, should have died long ago and should have gone to hell. How could he be blamed on us?"
If he understands Chinese, he should know that if you want to accuse someone of a crime, there is no reason to worry.
The prime minister said solemnly: "There is a saying among the Mongolians that when a wolf wants to eat a sheep, no matter how many herdsmen there are, the hungry wolf will not be afraid."
"The wolfish ambitions of Kang State have been concerned about our territory for a long time. Now that it has been revealed, we must first report the affairs of Kang State to the Ming Dynasty, and then recruit soldiers and horses to directly recover the Kangba area."
Dayan Ozil Khan said solemnly: "Okay, let's do it."
For a time, because of Ming's private turmoil, the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was in chaos.
One is the Kang State, which has a military background and spans thousands of miles across the world; the other is the Heshuote Khanate, which has strong strength on the plateau and has unanimous support from the lamas.
The battle between the two is quite interesting.
However, since the war area was outside Sichuan, the Han people were not disturbed and were happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
But in the capital, it was quite lively at this time.
The disaster relief in March and April ended, and a general amnesty made the whole world boil.
The first general amnesty for the whole country in history was in the first year of Qin II. Then Zhang Han, the young master, was appointed and dismissed to command the slave army and directly defeated the rebels.
From this we can see the power of amnesty for the world.
It is precisely because of this that the amnesty for the world was subsequently abused in feudal dynasties for more than two thousand years, such as twenty-six times in the twenty-fifth year of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
The more turbulent a dynasty is, the more they like to use this.
The most typical example is Emperor Hui of Jin in the Western Jin Dynasty, who pardoned 28 times in just seven years.
Of course, the additional condition of amnesty is that the most heinous crimes will not be pardoned. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes will not be released, and those who have committed minor or minor crimes will not be punished.
In other words, the stain is cleared and future generations can take part in the imperial examination.
For example, Song Jiang, after killing Yan Poxi, directly chose to run away, hide for a few months, and then treat it as a tourist. After Song Huizong granted amnesty, he returned home directly, and it was easy to spend money to buy an official position.
If it weren't for the anti-poetry, the future would still be promising.
One thing that needs to be noted is that officials who are corrupt and pervert the law are not included in the amnesty.
The bustling city of Beijing was because the troops from the Western Expedition began to return home.
In order to completely conquer the Oirat Mongolia, Gansu's army could not gain the trust of the imperial court at all. Everyone in the Beijing camp also hoped for military success, so nearly ten thousand people went to Tiannan.
In addition, many officers also took this opportunity to join the army and achieve promotion. They were the main force in conquering Oirat Mongolia.
As a result, nearly half of the 100,000 troops in Anxi Province had to be withdrawn and refiled.
Jin Guogong Li Dingguo continued to guard Anxi Province, handling complex government affairs and the Mongolian tribes, and those idle troops naturally returned to Gansu and the capital.
After walking for several months, Jia Daihua felt intense, with a rush of blood rushing to the back of his head. The closer he got to Beijing, the more excited he became. He had never wanted to go home so much.
As the saying goes, there is nothing better than this.
Of course, riches and honors do not return to their hometown, so they walked at night in brocade clothes and took more than ten personal soldiers with them. The inns along the way were so overcrowded that a viscount like him had to squeeze in with others and live in tents with his personal soldiers.
Chaoyang Gate.
At this time, there was a huge crowd of people, and countless family members stood at the gate of the city, welcoming the arrival of their families.
Needless to say, the first batch to go home were definitely the officers, so there were hundreds of carriages to greet them.
From time to time, the horse's feces fell like rain, and the yamen responsible for maintaining order couldn't help but cover his nose, fearing that the smell of sweat and manure would be poured into his nose.
Hot summer days can make people’s tempers rise.
Your carriage bumped into my carriage, the horse's excrement stained the wheels, there were countless miscellaneous things, and the female family members started to quarrel.
The servants also took up the martial arts, each holding a gun and a stick, majestic.
Mr. Jia Shi was sitting in the carriage, but there was a strange sound in his ears, like a demonic sound that could not be cleared away.
Seeing this, Jia Chen on the side laughed and said, "If you can't stand it anymore, plug your ears with silk cloth."
"Back then, the military academy was even more lively than this."
Speaking of it, she actually felt nostalgic: "It's a small courtyard house, and there are more than a dozen families living in it, all of whom are military figures. The children are noisy, but everyone lives in peace and contentment because they don't need any money."
Speaking of this, she said with emotion: "When the emperor was still the King of Yu, he was extremely kind to us. He paid us no salary every month and even distributed grain and cloth from time to time."
"The maids in the palace who are as beautiful as gods were also given to the officers. Even our Jia family, who were very poor back then, could arrange a free house to live in, called the Military Courtyard."
"From Xiangyang, I lived in Nanjing, but unfortunately I disappeared when I arrived in Beijing——"
Jia Shi was so fascinated by this that she actually laughed: "Mom, this is because our family has a title."
"Then there is still a military academy in the capital camp?"
"I heard there are some." Jia Shi said softly: "It's built near the military camp. You only need to pay ten yuan a month to live in it."
"Yes, this is the reason why soldiers can sacrifice their lives for the emperor." Jia Chen smiled: "This emperor should own the world."
For a moment, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law actually laughed out loud.
At this time, those noisy sounds turned into beautiful music, and there was a special feeling in my heart.
There is no way, under the military merit system, their Jia family has benefited greatly.
Jia Daihua was granted the title of viscount, and his family had two nobles. This was a great honor. It was expected that within a few years, the earl would be in trouble.
Soon, the ground began to shake, waiting for the crowd to calm down instantly.
It almost took no brainer to understand that this was a sign of the arrival of the war horses.
Soon, a large number of war horses caused dust to cover the ground, and cavalry emerged one after another.
Ming Dynasty's military robes look particularly energetic.
The soldiers and followers dismounted one after another and looked after the horses, while the officers were overjoyed one by one, looking for traces of their families.
The servants of the Jia family quickly recognized Jia Daihua and brought him to the carriage.
"Mother, madam——"
Jia Daihua's face was filled with dust and his voice was extremely high.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back-"
Mrs. Jia Chen touched her son's face and felt the rough skin. She couldn't help but feel distressed. Then she said, "Your father is in the military camp and can't come out."
Jia Daihua nodded, then looked at Jia Shi, and for a moment there were signs of raising his head in his crotch.
Holding back his movements, he smiled: "I have to go to the palace to see His Majesty first, and then go home later."
"Son, you go quickly, it's important to meet with His Majesty." Jia Chen nodded quickly, she understood very well.
Mr. Shi smiled slightly and said, "I'll wait for you to come back at home."
Jia Daihua was instantly motivated.
Immediately, dozens of viscounts, barons, and officers, all exhausted, went to the palace to meet him.
The emperor was not stingy in his praise, and immediately rewarded him with a large amount of money.
Count, Su per person
Ten bolts of satin, a hundred catties of sugar, a hundred silver coins, and some useless spices.
At this, everyone smiled contentedly.
Because the rewards for promotion to the title have been issued by the imperial court a long time ago. These are private rewards from the emperor. They can be said to be an unexpected surprise and are of extremely high value.
During this process, Zhu Yixi stared at Jia Daihua for a while and found that he looked ordinary and had a slightly familiar face. He was obviously a guard.
It seems that in the next ten years, the imperial court will not be short of generals.
After the group of people left, the emperor smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the capital camp has been very lively recently?"
"People's thoughts are moving." Yang Le has been the admiral of Dongchang for more than ten years and knows the emperor's thoughts very well. As soon as he started, he immediately said:
"In the Battle of Oirat, many officers who went to Anxi were promoted to high rank, which made many people want to fight abroad."
After thinking about it, Yang Le continued: "The morale of the Beijing camp in Suiyuan dropped a lot after there was no war. Many people complained. It would be better if they went to the Western Regions..."
"How can there be so many battles to fight in the world?"
Zhu Yixi said something casually, and suddenly her expression changed drastically.
He suddenly realized that the military merit system, which was once based on merit points, had already encountered a crisis.
After all, there are countless wars in the world, and a government cannot invest all its money and food in the army. And an army that rises because of its merits will inevitably have a sharp decline in combat effectiveness because it has no battles to fight.
Just like the military households in the early Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty.
The reform of military merit seems to be on the agenda.
How to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army is the key.
"Your Majesty, many officers and soldiers in the army have not been knighted, and they are constantly talking about giving hundreds or thousands of households as titles..."
Yang Le said cautiously.
Hundreds of households and thousands of households were used as a buffer for the three generations after the baron was inherited.
