Chapter 14 The Rise of the Thorn

The Wasai tribe of the Mongol Yuan, also known as the Weitra Alliance, originated from a nomadic tribe in the upper reaches of the Yeni River. When Genghis Khan was founded, he joined the Mongolian Yuan. Although his leader Hu Duhebiqi was not a descendant of the Golden Family, he had a marriage relationship with Genghis Khan, so his status in the Mongolian Yuan was relatively special, almost equivalent to the level of the Prince of the Mongol Yuan.

After the decline of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the Wasat tribe gradually grew. During the Yongle period of Chengzu Chengzu, the Wasat tribes unified the Simon tribes, and it was very likely to swallow the world. However, it was soon defeated by Chengzu and had to temporarily surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

During the Zhengtong period of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Wasat tribe entered its heyday and unified the tribes of the Mongolian Yuan in the south of the desert. In the north of the Ming Dynasty, almost all the vast areas inside were ruled by it, and even the Jurchen tribes were conquered by it.

At that time, Tuohuan, the leader of the Wasat tribe, was not a descendant of the Golden Family, and could not be recognized by the Mongolian Yuan tribes and could not be established as a Khan. He had to embrace Tuotuobuhua, the great-grandson of the orthodox Yuan Zhaozong of the Mongol Yuan, as a Khan. He himself was regent as the Grand Master. Since then, the Wasat tribe became the actual controller of the Mongol Yuan regime.

After Tuohuan passed away, his son Yexian inherited the position of the Grand Tutor of the Yuan Dynasty. After Yexian succeeded to the throne, he attacked the Xuanfu of the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that the Ming Dynasty refused to trade, and Datong and other border defense centers. Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was instigated by the eunuch Wang Zhen. After only a few days of preparation, he rushed to the imperial army. The vanguard of the Ming army was easily defeated by Yexian because of the lack of military rations and the unstable morale of the army. Wang Zhen was so scared that he retreated in a hurry, and he also took Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen to his hometown Weizhou!

Wang Zhen commanded the troops randomly and led Emperor Yingzong of Ming to run around, but was chased by Yeshen, hundreds of thousands of troops. Gongshun Bo Wu Kezhong, and the governor Wu Keqin led 100,000 infantry to cut off the rear and died in the battlefield. Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong and Yongshun Bo Xue Shou led another 50,000 cavalry to block it. He also fell into Yeshen's ambush and the entire army was wiped out.

Later, Emperor Yingzong of Ming fled to Tumu Fort, only 20 miles away from Huailai City. Wang Zhen ordered camping on the spot because more than 1,000 baggage trucks failed to arrive. As a result, he was surrounded by Yesian's army. The more than 200,000 Ming troops accompanied him were killed and dozens of imperial officials were killed in battle. Emperor Yingzong of Ming was also captured by Yesian soon. This was the Tumu Fort Incident that shocked the world.

After the Tumu Fort Incident, Yesen took advantage of the empty military force in the Ming capital and held Emperor Yingzong of Ming to besiege the Ming capital. However, because the soldiers and civilians in the capital were bravely fighting, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops back to the desert.

Then he wanted to make his nephew the prince and fight for the Khan throne with the Mongol Yuan Khan Tuotuobuhua. Tuotuobuhua fought back, but eventually became defeated and died due to his weak power. Since then, he has also called himself the Heavenly Saint Khan.

Soon, Yesen was assassinated, and the Watts began to decline, and the Tatars gradually rose. By the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the grasslands in the south of the desert were gradually occupied by the Tatars, but the Watts tribe was driven to the northwest desert.

Later, Zhu Cijiu and the Manchu and Mongolian coalition fought a decisive battle on the grasslands in the southern desert, directly destroying the Qing Dynasty and Tatars. The Mongolian Yuan and many small tribes began to migrate to the northwest, and the Wastu tribe began to gradually rise again.

At this time, the Wassat was divided into four major divisions: Chogar, Hoshuot, Dulbert and Turgut. The four alliances occupied the large territory of the land that started from Hamiwei in the east, went to Samarkand in the west, and reached Wusizang in the south, and reached the north, and reached Lake Baikal in the north. Their strength had almost returned to the level of the Yesen rule!

After defeating the Siberian Khanate, Tsarist Russia also fought several small-scale battles with the Wassar tribes, but they all ended in failure. Since Tsarist Russia had not occupied the entire territory of the Siberian Khanate at that time and was unable to conquer the Wassar, it chose to sign a contract with Wassar. Both sides did not invade each other, and opened a mutual market and lived in peace.

Of course, Tsarist Russia was not really afraid of the Wassar. It was just that under the circumstances at that time, it was much easier to capture the remaining territory of the Siberian Khanate than to start a war with the Wassar, so Tsarist Russia chose to continue to advance eastward. As for the Wassar tribe in the south, they were preparing to occupy the entire Siberian Khanate and then slowly clean up.

However, it happened that after a few years of Tsarist Russia occupied the entire territory of Siberia, Rozov was fooled by Richelieu and stabbed the hornet's nest of the Ming Empire. As a result, nearly half of the territory he had just obtained was immediately lost!

In this case, Rozov had no intention of cleaning up the powerful Wasan tribe. He was thinking about how to repel the Ming army and take back the Siberian Plateau.

However, when Richelieu mentioned it, he immediately remembered that the Watshu tribe was indeed very powerful at this moment. Moreover, in order to paralyze them, Tsarist Russia adopted a policy of softening. Not only did it stop expanding southward, but it also opened a mutual market. The relationship between the two sides seems to be pretty good now, and it is really possible to fool them into attacking the Ming Empire.

Rozov and Richelieu had a secret discussion all night before hurried back to the Russian imperial capital.

According to the secret agreement reached by both sides, Britain, France and the Netherlands will provide another 250,000 muskets to Tsarist Russia within half a year, and Richelieu will also find ways to get the Persian Safavi Empire to assemble 200,000 troops near Kandahar and take the initiative to attack South Asia.

Rozov was responsible for instigating the Wasanth tribe to launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty. Fifty thousand of the 250,000 muskets were provided to him. The specific amount of muskets needed to impress the Wasanth tribe depends on Rozov's ability. Even if he made a profit below 50,000 muskets, he would have to pay for it himself.

After returning to the Russian imperial capital of Tsarist Russia, Rozov changed his anger and angry look before going to Paris, and became full of confidence and ambitious again!

If he was talking about strategic retreat before going to Paris, regaining the Siberian Plateau next year, and uniting the great powers, defeating the Ming Empire, and fighting to the mainland of the Ming Empire, then, now, he really thinks so.

He was able to stand out among the thousands of Tsarist Russian nobles, gain real power, and become the prime minister of the cabinet. Of course, he was not an ordinary person. After returning to the imperial capital, he immediately called the great nobles who opposed him to him and taught him a lesson. He first suppressed their idea of ​​seizing power, and then ordered another 200,000 troops to be conquered in the continent. At the same time, he also sent an envoy to the Mongolian Wasat tribe to inquire about their verbal words, to see how much they needed to impress them, and to launch an attack on the Ming Empire!

At this time, the leader of the four Wasat tribes was Gushikhan, whose real name was Borjijin. Tulubaihu was the 19th generation grandson of Habtu, the younger brother of Genghis Khan. He was brave and good at fighting and was a descendant of the Golden Family. Therefore, he had a high prestige in the Wasat tribe. Under his leadership, the Wasat tribe had the posture to surpass the Yesen rule period.

Originally, he wanted to develop towards Wusizang in the south. Because after the decline of the Ming Dynasty, the chieftains and the Dharma King of Wusizang gradually stopped paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and began to fight each other, which was a mess, which was a good opportunity to start.

However, in recent years, the Ming Empire has developed wildly and has restored the power of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom. The chieftains and the Dharma Kings of Wusizang did not dare to fight, and they honestly ran to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, so that his plan was completely failed.

At this moment, Gu Shihan was gritting his teeth with righteousness. If the Ming Empire hadn't been too powerful, he really wanted to learn Yesen, and he would have made a Tumu Fort change!
