Chapter 876 Inviolable(2/2)

In the past few years, the two countries jointly invaded Qinghai and signed a religious, political and military alliance with the Mongolian tribes in Lat.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to completely settle the territory of Xinjiang and Tibet, it had to deal with Batur Hutaiji and Heshuotaiji.

The two countries were not only a military alliance, but also a political marriage. Heshuotaiji married his daughter to Batur Hutaiji.

Baturhun also gave his daughter to Heshuoteji's nephew, the future leader of the Oirat Alliance, Oziltu.

Now that the Oirat Alliance has just entered Tibet and destroyed the Zangba Khan regime, Jungar has no ambitions for expansion.

Their purpose of establishing a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty was actually to prevent the invasion and trade of Tsarist Russia.

Dzungar has repelled Tsarist Russian invasion twice and forced Tsarist Russia to recognize the Dzungar Khanate.

Tsarist Russia had a strong desire for territorial expansion, and Dzungar became the biggest obstacle to Tsarist Russia's move south. Since Dzungar could not be suppressed, Tsarist Russia could only solve the problem through negotiation.

In their interactions with Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia often asked Batur Hutaiji to stand up to receive their gifts and credentials, but Batur Hutaiji never ignored him.

Tsarist Russia tried every means to incorporate Zhungar into the territory of Tsarist Russia, but in Baturhun's eyes, Tsarist Russia was nothing more than a slave under the iron heel of Mongolia.

Every time the Grand Duke of Tsarist Russia took office, he had to accept the Mongolian policy. He had been a slave of the Mongols for more than two hundred years, and he actually wanted to become the master.

Compared with the white-eyed wolves who had been slaves for more than two hundred years, Zhungeer and Heshuo were more optimistic about the future development of the Ming Dynasty, so they sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty.

If it were the Chongzhen Dynasty, several khanates would certainly not have good relations with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would not be able to give them any benefits at that time.

But now it's completely different. The Ming Dynasty destroyed the Jiannu and easily unified Monan Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia. Last year, it destroyed Ordos and regained Hetao.

The Ming Dynasty was so powerful and had enough resources to support them, so becoming a Ming vassal state was the best choice.

Otherwise, in the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops to destroy several of their small countries and complete the true unification of the Chinese dynasty.

For Zhu Cixiang, it would be best if the problem could be solved without fighting. When Tsarist Russia went south, they could still be used as cannon fodder.

After the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yarkand Khanate and destroyed the Yarkand Khanate, they took advantage of the situation and stationed troops in the Jungar Khanate and the Shuo Khanate, and established a Protectorate to station officials, completely integrating Xinjiang and Tibet into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Some Ming Dynasty leaders in later generations used the fact that the Ming Dynasty did not station officials in Tibet to explain that the Ming Dynasty had no sovereignty over Tibet and did not realize that their knowledge was limited.

They have no idea that during the Hongwu period, Taizu established the Dusi Guard Office and other institutions in Tibet.

After destroying the Yarkand Khanate this time, the Ming Dynasty prepared to directly station troops and actually control Xinjiang and Tibet.

If submission is only superficial, then garrisoning officials is the actual control of Xinjiang and Tibet, and the Ming Dynasty will do everything.

In the court, Zhu Cihong gave many rewards to several countries in the Western Regions, allowed trade, gave them a batch of flintlock rifles to fight against Tsarist Russia, and asked the Ming Dynasty to garrison troops.

Several countries had no objections to the garrison of troops in the Ming Dynasty. They had been invaded by Tsarist Russia many times, which made them feel insecure. It would be best if the Ming Dynasty could garrison troops.

After leaving the court, the envoys from several countries were very happy. They could make money and the people would not starve. Who would want to fight when life gets better?

Then they signed a contract with the Ming Dynasty. Three years later, the Zhungeer and Heshuo Khanates were divided into two autonomous regions of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty garrison was responsible for security, and local governance was still handed over to the Mongols.

At the same time that the Ming Dynasty signed treaties with several khanates, the court began to discuss the use of troops against the Yarkand Khanate.

The founder of the Yarkand Khanate was Said, a descendant of Chagatai, who was the third brother of Mansur Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

In order to fight for power, he joined forces with his brother Helilie to launch riots in the Ili Valley and the Seven Rivers Basin against Mansur Khan and overthrew the Yili Bali regime.

Soon, the rebellion was put down by Mansur Khan, Helili was killed, and Said fled to the Pamir Plateau and took control of the Fergan Basin.

Due to repeated setbacks in his expansion south of the Tarim Basin, he fled to Kabul, Afghanistan, to seek refuge with Babur, a descendant of his distant relative Timur.

In 1627, Abdullah, the son of the ruler of Turpan, Abdulrajim, succeeded to the throne.

Taking advantage of his brothers' struggle to rule Turpan, Abdullah led the Yarkand Khanate army to send troops to Turpan and make Hami surrender.
