Tushan bit the bullet and could only tell the actual situation that Dongchang had grasped.
Because this matter is of great importance and determines the specific policy of the imperial court towards Mongolia and slave creation. It is not the time to be cautious and protect yourself.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, Dongchang does have some knowledge of the specific situation in Monan Mongolia. Let me introduce it here. How to make decisions requires your Majesty and everyone to consult in detail."
Tushan is just stating the facts. It's up to you to decide what to do. He will never wade into this troubled waters.
"Last year, Lin Dan Khan launched a large-scale westward expedition, and Chahar's 100,000 cavalry swept across the entire Monan. There were two major decisive battles, the first being the Battle of Zhaocheng."
When Tu Shan was dealing with the pay quarrel and mutiny among soldiers in Yulin Town last year, he stopped by Guihua City to meet with Lin Danhan. So very knowledgeable about the whole situation.
Tu Shan began to talk about what happened last year.
In July of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Haraqin tribes and the "Shunyi King" Boshu Ketu Khan (known as Bu Shitu in the Ming Dynasty) of the Tumut tribe met in Weining Haizi to prepare for the battle against Chahar.
When Chahar's army arrived in October, Kalaqin suffered a tragic defeat: "Many of the tribes collapsed, or took refuge in the borders."
Lin Dan Khan's army worked hard to pursue the victory and marched straight into Tumed Guihua City (now Hohhot).
However, Lin Dan Khan soon went eastward to attack the remaining Tumote troops, so the right-wing tribes took the opportunity to join forces and temporarily regained Hohhot. There is a Dazhao Temple built in the city of Hohhot, so the Mongols also called it "Zhao City" or "Zhao City".
In a letter asking for help written by Haraqin to Huang Taiji in the second year (the first year of Chongzhen), he claimed that this battle was a great victory with 100,000 people, annihilating 40,000 people in Chahar, and hoped that Huang Taiji would send troops to jointly destroy Lin Dan. sweat.
"Tushan, it seems that the Mongolian tribes in Monan have the upper hand. How were the losses of the Chahar people in the battle of Zhaocheng?" Chongzhen was very shocked when he heard this number and asked quickly.
Tu Shanyong said: "After Lin Dan Khan occupied Zhaocheng, I went to Zhaocheng in person, met with Lin Dan Khan, and negotiated the intention to cooperate with the north and south of the Ming Dynasty to jointly resist the establishment of slaves. I saw at that time that the Chahar people were strong and strong, and there was no What a huge loss.”
"It should be Boshu Ketu Khan, the "King of Shunyi" of the Haraqin and Tumote tribes, who deliberately boasted in an attempt to lure the Jiannu to send troops. Taiji, the chief of the Jiannu, thought that Chahar was fundamentally shaken and had an opportunity. You can take advantage of it.”
Qian Longxi said: "Didn't they regain Zhao City later? Is it possible that they won a great victory when they regained Zhao City?"
Tushan said: "Karaqin Khan Ahai and Buyan Ahai and others were besieged twice by the Chahar tribe, but they finally broke out of the siege, captured a Noyan, recaptured the city of Hohhot, and garrisoned it with 2,000 troops. . This is obviously a small victory."
"Even this victory did not last long. Lin Dan Khan immediately sent a large army to attack. Not only did he immediately recapture Hohhot, he also defeated the Haraqin tribes and robbed more than 3,000 horses alone."
"In this battle, not only did the tribes such as Karaqin Khan suffer heavy losses, but some of the Tabunangs who came to aid also suffered unexpected consequences. According to Tushetu Khan, the Tabunangs were killed by the Chahar army, and the princesses They were also taken away, and a Taiji named Bandi was also captured.”
"Currently, no one in Monan can compete with Lin Danhan. Duoyan is in a state of survival. Currently, Lin Danhan keeps sending cavalry to intercept and kill Haraqin and Duoyan's envoys to Shenyang. In order to survive, Duoyan started from Zhao last year. After the Battle of the City, we have gradually begun to get closer to Jiannu."
Qian Longxi advocated recruiting Duoyan and asked, "You said that Duoyan colluded with Jiannu. Is there any substantial evidence?"
Duoyan's attitude towards the slaves was the key to whether he could continue to implement the policy of recruiting slaves.
Tushan thought for a while and said: "It can be analyzed from the interaction between the two parties. At present, they have basically come together."
Tu Shan said: "The letter I mentioned was written in the name of the pagodas south of the Karaqin Mountains. It was signed by Du Lenguying, Wandan Weizheng and others. The letter boasted a lot, claiming that he We achieved a great victory and invited Hou Jin to come together to attack Chahar. A copy of this letter has been submitted for your Majesty's preview."
Chongzhen nodded. He had already read the copy of this letter. The people in Tushan are still very powerful, and they were able to get the contents of this letter from Shenyang.
Tu Shan continued: "Judging from the aftermath, Huang Taiji, who did not understand the truth, was deceived by this fabricated good news and believed that Chahar's "foundation had been shaken." Therefore, Hou Jin quickly united with the Mongolian tribes to Taking advantage of the main force of Lin Dan Khan's westward expedition, his home base was empty. He launched two attacks on Chahar."
"The first of these was in February of the first year of Chongzhen. The targets of this battle were the Alakchot and Dorote tribes of Lingnan Chahar who stayed in the old place of Chahar and had not yet moved westward. Because they kept intercepting and killing The messengers between Hou Jin and Haraqin hindered the alliance between Haraqin and Hou Jin. Huang Taiji decided to destroy them."
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
"On the eighth day of February this year, Huang Taiji personally led a partial army to go out and wiped out two tribes in one fell swoop, "capturing 11,200 people." In May of this year, I heard that Guyit Tabunang from Chahar was coming. We arrived at the old place of the Alakchot tribe. So we sent Jirharang, Hauge and others out again to capture and kill them."
"Reportedly, not long ago, Jiannu also sent Abatai, Yue Tuo and others to destroy the Wubao outside Jinzhou, Xingshan, Gaoqiao and other places that had been abandoned by the Ming Dynasty, thus completely clearing out the Karaqin All obstacles between us. From these, we can see that it is a fait accompli that the two sides will unite."
After Tu Shan finished speaking, the ministers all whispered. From this point of view, the interaction between the two parties is very close, and Duoyan and Jiannu have already cooperated in depth.
Qian Longxi sneered: "After all, all I can see is a letter, or a letter asking for help. What does this mean? Duoyan even asked for help from the Ming Dynasty at that time."
Tushan sighed secretly, Qian Longxi was the second assistant, and he didn't want to slap him in the face. However, at this time, it is impossible not to bring out the key evidence.
"Your Majesty, this is a copy of the oaths from both parties that our Dongchang spy secretly obtained in Shenyang. Your Majesty, please preview it."
Chongzhen opened the oath, which contained an alliance between the two parties against Lin Dan Khan.
Below are the signatures, listed are several leaders of the Karaqin tribe: Rasxibu (Khan Ahai), Buyan Ahai, Mangsuer, Shubudi (Subudi), Genggar, etc.
Tu Shan said: "On July 19, Haraqin sent a huge envoy of 530 people to Shenyang. On the third day of August, the two sides swore an oath to heaven and earth to form a formal alliance. I have just received a copy of this oath."
"Your Majesty, Huang Taiji said afterward that the Shanyang Tabu Nang people negotiated peace with me and unified the political orders." It can be seen that this alliance actually has a strict unified system and is not loose. "
"The latest news received is that in order to further control the various Mongolian ministries, Huang Taiji decided to strengthen the original alliance between the two parties into a de facto relationship between monarch and minister. He recently issued an edict to Horqin, Aohan, Naiman, and Khalkha , Haraqin and other allied tribes, requiring each family to "fully abide by the system of our dynasty" and be classified as a foreign vassal from an ally."
"Due to the strength of the slave nation, no one dared to resist. Huang Taiji has sent his uncle Ashdarhan and others to visit various Mongolian vassals, promulgating newly formulated expedition regulations to them and approving military orders. The edict states at the beginning To: "You all surrender..." Obviously, Jiannu has now come together with various tribes including Duoyan. "
"Your Majesty, the matter of Duoyan is no longer a matter of famine and pension. In order to survive and fight against Lin Dan Khan, turning to Jiannu is their only way to survive."
"Your Majesty, Duo Yanla can't come back."
Qian Longxi's face turned red, and the slap in the face was really loud.
The issue of caring for Duoyan ended unhappy.
Watching the ministers leave, Chongzhen said: "Let the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion give Yang Fan an order. Follow the Zunhua Guard Hexi Guard Qianhu Station to patrol the border. Since they can't be pulled back, let Yang Fan cripple them. Otherwise, they will be disabled. They followed the establishment of slaves and became a serious problem."
