The problem of Chataiji can be basically solved now. This man is the best general in Mongolia, but he is also a wise general. He is pragmatic and is not afraid of wise generals, but afraid of reckless men. Since he is a wise general, then Easy to handle.
His loyalty to Anda and to Anda's cause actually formed his weakness.
In terms of force, ten high pragmatists are probably not enough to beat Chataiji in one go. Even if this person is already in his early fifties, this fact cannot be changed.
But in terms of power and tactics, to put it bluntly, Chatterji is completely inadequate in front of Gao Pragmatic.
Speaking of which, when the Mongol Empire was at its most powerful, it didn't rely on power to earn a living, let alone Mongolia now.
Based on the solid border defense of more than ten years of Ming Dynasty's reform, Gao Pragmatism can use the big stick of "stopping mutual trade" in one hand and the warm words of "helping farming" in the other hand, both soft and hard. The so-called big stick is in hand, and warm words are there. Mouth, how to choose? Anyone with a brain will never make a wrong choice.
Intimidation and inducement, that's all.
Two days later, Daban Shengcheng arrived.
Scholars in later generations have been arguing about the specific location of Daban Shengcheng for at least several decades. There have been several versions of the theory. There was a time when the most popular theory was that "Daban Shengcheng means naturalization" proposed by Japanese scholars. At that time, many domestic scholars echoed this view.
However, with the vigorous development of all aspects of the Red Dynasty, the number of Mongolian scholars in Inner Mongolia has also increased day by day. From various documents and folklore, they have slowly come to the conclusion that Daban Shengcheng and Guihua City are not the same thing at all. .
In fact, this question itself should be quite clear. I don’t know what happened to those Japanese scholars at the beginning, because in history, Sanniangzi has coveted Daban Shengcheng several times and sent troops to attack it several times - Sanniangzi herself has lived in Guizhou for a long time. Huacheng, if Daban's promotion to the city means naturalization, then she still has a ghost, a shepherd child riding a sheep to find sheep?
Besides, if Dabanshengcheng was naturalized, I would have lived in Dongshao under the control of naturalization, and used Dabanshengcheng as the "governing seat" of Westshao. What kind of operation would that be? Was the city divided into two?
In fact, the location of Dabanshengcheng was almost between Baotou and Hohhot in later generations, and was roughly located near Salaqi Town in Tumut Right Banner in later generations. In terms of relative distance, this place is closer to Baotou.
In fact, the claim that Anda's original intention was to establish Han Naji as Chechen Khan was just a pragmatic attempt to deceive Qataiji. In fact, judging from Anda's troop deployment, this is quite doubtful.
why? Didn't it mean that Xin Ai was sent out all the way to stare at the left-wing Mongolia and the Yuan Dynasty in the east?
This is without looking at the location of Çataiji’s pastureland: Çataiji’s original pastureland was Tuotuo City, which was later Tuoketuo County. It was later moved some distance north.
This move to the north was critical, because the location he moved to was Beishizhao Township in later generations - just stuck between Daban Shengcheng and Guihua City.
This is very mysterious.
Qataiji is the most powerful general of Tumut. For such an important general, he did not sit in the southernmost position to threaten the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it was to show to the Ming Dynasty that Tumut had no intention of going south to plunder. If he did not sit in the western post, then it was fine. It is said that the West Post has been completely sealed off to Han Naji.
But why didn't he go east to replace Xin Ai?
No matter how hard Xin Ai can fight, can he be better than Chatterji? Not to mention, although their status was when An Da was alive, Qia Taiji might have been more powerful, but in the final analysis, Qia Taiji was not An Da's biological son, Xin Ai was.
The normal thinking, shouldn't Xin Ai stay in the royal court of Guihua City, while Qataiji goes to sit on the eastern border and keep an eye on Tumen Khan?
Why did I insist on letting Xin Ai go to the east to stare at Tumen, but placed Qataiji not far from Guihua City, but stuck in the middle between it and Dabansheng City?
The most direct suspicion is that Anda is guarding against Han Naji.
Of course, Bhannaji is Anda's most beloved grandson. No Mongolian will have any doubt about this, but love does not mean being defenseless - Mongolians are different from Han people. Han people kill their fathers to seize the throne. It's not that there are no emperors, but few have left a good reputation. And "killing ancestors to seize the throne"...isn't this a little too far?
Besides, the Han people have always had a tradition of "preparing relatives across generations". There are very few grandfathers who don't love their grandchildren, and there are also very few grandchildren who are dissatisfied with their grandfathers - but there are many who are dissatisfied with their fathers.
This is caused by the cultural tradition of the Han people, because the Han people pay attention to "playing with their grandchildren with pleasure" and "it is the fault of the father not to raise them". Therefore, grandfathers are usually very good to their grandchildren and give them whatever they ask for; but fathers may not treat their sons well. Extremely strict, often reprimanding for minor offenses.
But the Mongolians are different. Mongolian fathers may not necessarily be strict, and their grandfathers may not necessarily be kind. The relationship between them is more about the balance of power - perhaps starting from the Patricide of Maodun during the Xiongnu period, Mobei The nomadic people only recognize the word strength, but they lack the warmth and family integrity of many Han families.
Therefore, when Anda Khan handed over the western post to Bhannaji, he also placed Qataiji between Daban Shengcheng and Guihua City. This is a manifestation of an ambivalent mentality: he loves his grandson, but he also loves his grandson. And I'm afraid that he will do something stupid.
After all, this grandson has a history of doing stupid things in anger - he can do it even if he goes south to commit suicide. Do you still dare to believe that he is a mature and stable person?
But there is another question that cannot explain this suspicion: Although Xin Ai's fighting ability may not be as good as Chatterji, he should shock Han Naji, or at least take a step back, resist Han Naji for a while. Not a big problem, right?
Especially when Anda himself was still alive, if Han Naji really did something stupid and led Xishao eastward to Guihua City, and was blocked by Xin Ai on the way, as long as Anda himself came forward, the tribesmen of Xishao would still be there. It's hard to say how willing he is to follow Han Naji.
So, why was Xin Ai still sent to the east?
In fact, there is only one explanation: I didn't consider at all - or didn't bother to consider - who would be Chechen Khan.
Anda's physical condition has not been very good in the last few years. Normally, he should not "forget" to consider this matter, or "refuse" to consider it like Emperor Jiajing did back then.
That would be interesting, he could only be too lazy to think about it.
Perhaps, after his lifelong struggle, he was already "two out of three people in the world" in Mongolia, but he never became the "Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty", which made him look away.
Especially after he became a believer in Buddhism, fatalism affected this "King of Wheels": Since everything has a number of days, whoever becomes Chechen Khan will naturally have a number of days to arrange it, so what should I do to make extra arrangements?
Be it Xin Ai or Bhan Na Ji, they are all my descendants. Does it matter who becomes the Great Khan?
Anda has never been very fond of his eldest son Xin Ai, but after all, he has fought with Anda for decades, and has done countless hard work without any merit. In Anda's opinion, it is not impossible for him to be a prostrate. Especially since so many years have passed since Anda's grandfather Dayan Khan established the primogeniture system, the Tumut people have long been accustomed to it, and they probably won't have much objection to it.
As for Bhan Naji, he is Anda's favorite grandson, and he is especially a die-hard pro-Ming faction. If he becomes the Great Khan, it is hard to say anything else. The relationship with the Ming Dynasty will definitely be maintained very well, and the mutual trade is absolutely No mistakes will be made. In this way, Tumut's "royal foundation" in Mongolia will be as solid as a rock, which is not bad.
Perhaps it was for this reason that neither Xin Ai nor Bahan Naji remained with me.
In this way, looking back at the location of Qataiji's pastureland, it becomes more meaningful:
The beloved people are not as strong as Bhannaji. If he wants to become a great Khan, he must win over Chatterji. Similarly, if Bhannaji wants to be a great Khan, he must first pass the test of Chatterji. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to go to Guihua City—a detour? You actually have to take a detour to go to the Great Khan. Who can be convinced by you, the Great Khan?
Qataiji is the most loyal, so Anda actually left him a huge right to influence the ownership of Chechen Khan. At the same time, he also left Xin Ai and Bahan Naji a test question:
Or, convince Chatterjee and prove that you have the brains to do this job well;
Or, defeat Chatterji and prove that you have the strength to do this great job!
I answer: How can a hero be a fool without any plan?
In fact, in the original history, Qataiji did have a huge impact on the direction of the entire Tumut, but Anda was not the real "King of Wheels" after all. I am afraid he never dreamed that he would turn the Han Naji did not choose to compete with his uncle for the Khan, and Xin Ai did not dare to attack Bahan Naji, who had 40% of Tumote's strength.
However, Xin Ai died of illness within a few years, and Han Naji was even more ridiculous, actually falling to his death.
This...unless I am really the Wheel-turning King, how can I guess it?
However, Chatterjee he left behind still played an unexpected role.
When the Sanniangzi came up with the idea of leaving Han Naji behind, it was Qataiji who stood up and, with his huge prestige in Tumut, Ordos, Qinghai and other tribes, united more than 70 leaders. Oppose the third wife and Butashri mother and son to annex Han Naji's remnant - because it was Ada that was entrusted to Ba Han Naji, and although Ba Han Naji died, his son is still there!
The only pity is that after Qataiji's death, no one could help save Hannaji's youngest son. In the end, Dacheng Biji was forced to marry Zalik first. After Zalik wanted to marry the third wife to win the support of the Ming Dynasty, He remarried to Butashri and gave birth to Suang Taiji to Butashri.
But in any case, the resettlement of Qataiji in the pastureland is a clever move by Anda.
It's just that this wonderful move has been blocked by Gao Pragmatic...
With the city in sight, a pair of huge cavalry troops rushed over, kicking up dust all over the sky.
A general in his thirties came out of the crowd, rode his horse to greet him with a big smile, and shouted from afar: "Is this coming Brother Gao? Brother Yu, Han Naji has been waiting for you for a long time!"
