Chapter 38: Duoyan Sanwei

This van was also issued because of Li Baihu's ' Lessons from the former car'. Alas~~" After saying that, Wu Zheng took a long breath.

Wu Zheng was transferred to the border to replace the original task of a hundred households named Li Mo. This Li Baihu was not transferred or promoted, but died.

Taiyuan Qianhu Institute, Datong Qianhu Institute is only responsible for those "responsibilities" and other tasks to be assigned. Li Baihu received an expatriate mission before three months - disguised as a Han businessman and went to the undercover agent Duoyanwei, the largest of the three guards of Uliangha, secretly exploring.

This three-garde is called the three guards of Uliangha. The origin of these tribes can also be traced back to the era of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. Genghis Khan once divided parts of the area east of the Greater Khingan Mountains to his younger brother Timu Ge, Ochijin, and his nephew Ele, as their Ulus. Timu's Wulusi's "great land and richness" in Chijin, starting from the Daxing'an Mountains in the west, across the Nen River, neighboring Jurchens in the east, near the Songhua River in the south, and the Heilongjiang River Basin in the north. The main member of the Wulus is the Uqiite people. The Ulus, which is only brought by Ele, is located in the south of the above-mentioned Ulus, north of the Xila Mulun River. Its main departments are the Uliangha people and the Nai barbarians. This part of the Uryanha people are led by the descendants of Genghis Khan's famous general Lema. They followed Ele only to migrate here from the Hanshan Mountain. At first, this part of the Uliangha people lived in the area of Ekeduyan Wenduer Mountain and the river basin.

After Yuan Huizong returned from most of the Mongolian grasslands, the Mongolian Ulus and tribes in this area carried out active defenses in order to defend their territory and prevent the attack of the Ming Dynasty. They often adopt a policy of attacking and defending. At that time, General Nahachu, a descendant of Muhuali, led 200,000 Mongolian troops and stationed in Jinshan north of the Liao River to Long'an (now Nong'an County, Heilongjiang Province), Yitu River (now Yitong River) and Yimian River (now Yima River), becoming a defensive barrier for the above-mentioned Mongolian departments.

In the 20th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty sent Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and Lan Yu to lead 200,000 troops to make a detour around Qingzhou and surrounded the Nahachu army station. Nahachu was forced to surrender. The above-mentioned Mongolian departments have lost their barriers, and their stations may be invaded by the Ming Dynasty at any time. In the 21st year of Hongwu, the Mongolian Khan Tugusi Timur was fishing in the sea - today's Bell Lake - and was defeated west by the army of the Ming Dynasty general Lan Yu. These major military failures left the Mongols east of the Greater Khingan Mountains in isolation. They had to return to the Ming court.

In the 22nd year of Hongwu, Mingting set up Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu Sanwei in this area. Duoyanwei is in the upper reaches of the Qule River (referring to the river, a tributary of Taoer Henan) and Duoyan Mountain; Tainingwei is in the Taer River (now Taoer River) basin, that is, Taining Road in the Yuan Dynasty; Fuyuwei is in the Nenjiang River and Fuyu River (now Wuyuer River) basin. So far, the area under Sanwei's jurisdiction is centered on the Nenjiang River, from the Wuyuer River in the east to the Taoer and Cheer rivers in the west. At the same time, the Ming court awarded the leadership of the Three Guards to hold official positions at all levels for encirclement and briefing. Azashli was appointed as the commander of Tainingwei, and Tabin Timur was appointed as the commander-in-in-chief; Haisa-man answered Xi as the commander-in-chief of Fu Yuwei; Talukhu-Qar was the commander-in-command-in-chief of Duoyanwei. The Ming court asked them to "leader their own subordinates to live in order to live in peace" and honestly be the "shu yi" of the Ming Dynasty.

Mongols call Duoyanwei Wuliangha, Tainingwei Weng Niute, and Fuyuwei Wuqiyet. This is because Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu Sanwei are mainly composed of the three parts of Wuliangha, Wengniute and Wuqiyet respectively. Later, the Ming Dynasty also called Duoyanwei Huliang Hawei. At that time, Tainingwei was the strongest among the three guards, followed by Fu Yuwei, and Duoyanwei was in the back. Later, Duoyanwei's strength grew rapidly and jumped to the top of the three guards. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the general area of the three guards was called Duoyan Sanwei or the three guards of Uliangha, and the residences of Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu Sanwei were collectively referred to as the "Wuliangha area".

In the first year of Ming Jianwen, the "famous" royal war took place in the Ming Dynasty, known as the "Battle of Jingnan". Before launching the "Bat of Jingnan", Zhu Di defeated Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who guarded Daningwei, with the support of the Mongolians of Wuliangha Sanwei. Later, he borrowed 3,000 elite cavalry from the three guards of Uliangha as the backbone of his "Jingnan Army". In the fourth year of Jianwen, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he decided to cede Daningwei to them in order to reward the Mongolians who had made great achievements in the war. At the same time, he also appointed the leader of Sanwei as governor, command, thousand households and 100 households, and decided to open mutual markets in Kaiyuan and Guangning for the Mongolians and Ming Dynasty to carry out trading activities. He also gave an edict to pay tribute to the imperial court. It is stipulated that three guards pay two tributes a year, 500 people each time, entering and leaving Xifengkou, and the tributes include horses, camels and other objects.

The decision and promise of Emperor Yongle have not been fully fulfilled. The Ming court did not allow the Sanwei Mongols to move south to the Daning area. In order to obtain the pastoral rights of the Daning region, the Mongolian departments of Uliangha Sanwei united with Alutai, the leader of the Asut Department (called the Tartar Department in the Ming Dynasty) at that time. They often joined forces to attack the Ming Dynasty. When Emperor Yongle attacked Arutai for three consecutive years, he led his army to go deep into the Quluer River basin and attacked the three guards of Wuliangha who supported Arutai, causing them extremely heavy casualties. However, the three guards of Uliangha did not give in, and they fought unremittingly with the Ming Dynasty to win the Daning region. Soon, they went south and entered the Luan River Basin to graze. A few years later, they entered Daning City and went straight to the Broad River (now Hebei Waterfall River) through Huizhou (now Pingquan County, Hebei Province). They also fought fiercely with 3,000 cavalry led by Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Horqin's department moved into the Nenjiang River Basin under the leadership of Adai Khan and Arutai. They fully supported the three guards of Uliangha to advance south and seize the Daning area.

In the late years of Xuanzong and the early years of Emperor Yingzong, the Ming Dynasty was weak because of its lax border defense and weak imperial police. The Sanwei Mongols launched a comprehensive offensive from the Xila Mulun River to the Liao River Basin and pushed south. Finally, they finally came to the border of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, the distribution of the grazing land of the three guards of Wuliangha is: "from Daning to Xifengkou, near Xuanfu, it is called Duoyan; from Jin and Yili Guangning to Liaohe, it is called Taining; from Huangniwa over Shenyang and Tieling to Kaiyuan, it is called Fuyu. Since then, south of the Xilamulun River and the Liao River, Kaiyuan in the east, and outside the Great Wall of Xuanfu in the west, all belong to the Uliangha region.

So far, the promise that the Yongle Emperor did not fully fulfill was fulfilled by the Wuliang Mongols "help" Yongle Emperor decades later. These three Mongolian tribes got their name because of their grazing residence. One is Duoyan; the other is Fuyu; the other is Taining. Among these three guards, Duoyanwei is the strongest, because in recent years, because it has been grazing near the north of the Great Wall, adjacent to Xuanfu, and traded with the border people. The Mongolians took fur, and the mountains cherished medicinal materials and other things. The Ming people had iron cooking utensils, rice, salt, cloth, and even needlework and other daily necessities traded with them, and they were basically exchanged for things. At that time, in the border areas, the economy was underdeveloped, especially the Mongolians who had no concept of "economic and trade", and barter was the best choice.

Although this Yan Sanwei has used troops with Daming many times, he is still a nominal vassal after all. The "benefits" promised by Emperor Yongle were not given, and it was useless to help! Since they don't give it, they have to get it by themselves!

Duoyan Sanwei used this name to seize territory. In the past few decades, he was able to "gravously seize" with the Ming Dynasty, and finally was able to graze in Daning, and the Ming Dynasty had to acquiesce. Duoyan Sanwei also knew each other, "get cheap and be obedient", not only compared with other Mongolian tribes, but also continued to serve the Ming court. And border markets. But this was also many years ago. In recent years,

After receiving the task, Li Baihu led another five Jinyiwei to dress up as Han merchants and go north of the Great Wall of Xifengkou to trade with the herdsmen of Duoyan Sanwei. At first, it went well, but after a batch of goods were sold, it was an excuse to trade further north.

Their original task was to collect all kinds of information about Duo Yanwei outside the plug, including the location of the leader's tent. Later, thousands of households sent elite personnel to explore and roughly understood the result of the matter. Li Baihu seemed to have met the Mongolian cavalry of an unknown tribe. Such a few Han businessmen's border trade bank is so deep that it naturally arouses suspicion. When disengaged and searched, they found the knives hidden in the cloth they carried, and the Mongolians immediately drew their knives to each other.

Li Baihu almost wanted to defend at that time. On the pretext that the caravan went deep into the grassland and was afraid of encountering horse bandits, he led the blade only to defend himself. But I didn't expect that somehow, some of this group of Mongolian cavalry recognized this knife as a brocade guard's embroidered spring knife, and this group of people were related to the brocade guard. With an order, Li Baihu and others made a knife to death inexplicably~~~

There is something strange about this. Since this Yan Sanwei claimed to be a member of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming court sent Jinyiwei to be provocative, there are also reasons for distrust of him. If this Yan Sanwei is dissatisfied after discovering it, he can be detained as a hostage to ask for an explanation from the Ming court. But this box killed people instead, but he fell to the truth. But Jinyiwei is also aware of the loss and it is inconvenient to make a sound.

But what surprised Renbian most was that the sword of the brocade guards recognized by some of the Mongolians was definitely not ordinary Mongolian cavalry. Ren Qianhu didn't have a clue when he thought about it, so he deeply felt that Duoyan Sanwei was very suspicious. Moreover, in recent years, Mongolian ministries harassed and their figures frequently appeared in the abulation. Although there was a great possibility of following the autumn wind, it also showed that Duoyan Sanwei also had a ghost in his heart. He didn't know that there was no sense of awe, but just a hindrance. With some face, it is inconvenient to openly tear your face.

Ren Bian did not report it, and also reported this information to the capital. Li Baihu is dead, but this task is even more important. In this way, this heavy responsibility fell on Wu Zheng.
