Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

If you want to understand the significance of this, you must first understand the history of Mongolia.

In 1368 AD, Xu Da's Northern Expedition drove the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuanshun Emperor Tuohuan Tiemu'er, out of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. From then on, the Yuan Dynasty was declared destroyed.

It's just that the Borjijin family is still regarded as orthodox by the grassland peoples. Because it lost its territory in the Central Plains, it was called the Northern Yuan Dynasty in history.

The Ming Dynasty's attitude towards the Bei Yuan was very clear: it temporarily recognized the Bei Yuan as an independent regime, but it was only a separatist regime and was not qualified to continue the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty.

After the experiences of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Zhaozong of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Tianyuan, Zhuoliktu Khan, Enke Khan, Nikuchi Sukqi Khan, and Jatemul Khan, the regime of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has fallen into decline.

Kun Timur, known as Jutemur Khan in history, was actually just a puppet, and all the real power was in the hands of the Oara boss Ugqi Hashiha.

In 1402, Ugqi Hashha didn't want to pretend anymore. He killed Ketmul Khan and proclaimed himself the Great Khan of Mongolia. Ugqi Hashha was the first person who was not a descendant of the golden family to inherit the Mongol Khanship. Mongolia History has entered a new era.

In 1408, the leader of the Asut tribe, Arutai Taishi, killed Ulei Timur Khan and re-supported Benya Shili, the youngest son of Nikuchi Sukqi Khan, as the new great khan, known in history as Wuzhetu Khan.

It was just that Wanzhe Tuhan was too arrogant, and as a result he was defeated by the army of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di in 1410, and the Arutai Grand Master who supported him was also defeated.

Mahamu, the leader of the Choros tribe in Walada, decisively killed Wanzhe Tuhan and established Wanzhe Tuhan's son Daliba as the new Great Khan, while he appointed himself as Grand Master and held great power.

The previously defeated leader of the Asut tribe, Arutai Taishi, made a comeback and once again led his troops to fight against Wala, and also killed Mahamu and Delebok Khan.

In 1415, Mahamu's son Chorostohuan held up the banner of Wala, and also supported Eseku, the son of Ugqi Hashiha, as the Mongolian Khan, known as Ouladai Khan in history.

The position of the Great Khan of Mongolia once again left the Golden Family, and the second Great Khan of Mongolia who was not from the Golden Family was born, but naturally he was a puppet Khan.

In 1434, Tuo Tuo Buhua took the initiative to join Tuo Huan. Tuo Huan saw that he was also a descendant of the Borzhijin family and was so obedient, so he was changed to the Great Khan of Mongolia, known as Dai Zong Khan in history.

For the sake of his own legitimacy, Arutai, the leader of the Assut tribe, Oara's mortal enemy, changed the title of Adai, the seventh grandson of Genghis Khan's younger brother Hesar, to the Great Khan, and was known as Adai Khan in history.

In 1438, due to Tuohuan's efforts, the leader of the Asut tribe, Arutai, was killed and the tribe was disbanded. Adai Khan whom he had appointed was also killed by Tuohuan.

At this point, during the days when Tuohuan was the Grand Master, Wala had completely controlled the military and political power of Beiyuan.

After Tuohuan's death, the position of Grand Master was passed on to his son Yexian.

Ye Xian was naturally an important participant in the Tumubao Incident, and captured the Oara leader who returned to the north from Ming Yingzong.

In 1451, because General Dai Khan was not very obedient, he directly killed the nominal Khan and appointed Agadoerji as the new puppet Khan, known as Ugqtu Khan in history.

In 1453, he first killed Uguktu Khan, and at the same time ordered the killing of all members of the Golden Family, proclaimed himself the Mongolian Great Khan, and called himself the Great Yuan Tiansheng Khan.

At this point, the third Mongol Khan of the non-gold family was born.

In 1454, Alazhiyuan led 30,000 troops to kill Ye Xian. From then on, Oara fell into civil strife.

Although the entire clan of the Golden Family was slaughtered by Ye Xian, the lineage of Uguktu Khan did not die out. Because Ugqktu Khan's son married Ye Xian's daughter, he left a posthumous son named Bayan Mengke. .

In 1475, Mandulu, the 49-year-old half-brother of General Dai Khan Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, was proclaimed Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Although he killed Bayan Munch who was a threat to him, Bayan Munch's His son Batu Mengke is still alive.

In the spring of 1479, Mandulu joined forces with his brothers Yisi Mayin and Tuoluogan to defeat and kill the most powerful master, Jiasilan. In the summer of the same year, Mandulu died of illness.

Since Mandulu had no heirs, the throne of Beiyuan seemed to be leaving the Golden family again, but a dramatic scene took place in history.

After Mandu Lu died, his widow Mandu Haifujin took control of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

This thirty-two-year-old woman made an astonishing move. She swore not to marry a man who was not a descendant of the Golden Family, and then chose Batu Mengke, who was only seven years old. At the same time, she also supported this seven-year-old descendant of the Golden Family. He was the new Great Khan of Mongolia, known as Dayan Khan in history.

In the 23rd year of Chenghua, the sixteen-year-old Dayan Khan began to take charge of the government and began his journey to conquer the world.

If history had not changed, the Golden Family would have unified the grasslands and launched massacres against China again and again, while the Ming Dynasty led by civil servants would have focused on the resurgence of the Central Plains.

Now facing the new king's accession to the throne, I don't know whether it is a deliberate delay or the transmission of information is too slow. Now the 16-year-old Dayan Khan has sent a congratulatory form for his accession, but the little prince of the prairie has already requested "Great Yuan Dynasty" Khan" title.

A title may seem trivial, but in the internal strife of the steppes, they have always needed this economically beneficial tribute. To want both status and merit now is to despise Ming Dynasty, or it may be a temptation in itself.

In the front hall of Qianqing Palace, sandalwood scents linger.

"He is arrogantly claiming his name and acting like dogs and sheep. How can China predict this? If he sincerely accepts the gift, he will be rewarded as usual." Faced with this rude behavior of the little Mongolian prince, the British Duke Zhang Mao immediately expressed his position.

Zhu Youtang understood what the honorable Duke meant. In fact, he just pretended to be ignorant and ignored it. As long as the envoy was not very rude, he would still reward him according to the old rules.

"The British Lord is sincere in his pursuit of the country. This is the best policy!" After hearing the British Lord's proposal, Jia Jun, the Minister of Industry, agreed one after another.

Zhu Youtang looked at the group of civil and military ministers who had been summoned, and actually already had the answer in his heart.

Not to mention the civil servants who just want to stay in the capital and enjoy the glory and wealth, even the martial arts veterans who have already lived a pampered life are unwilling to start a war.

Perhaps the first-level earl might take the lead in the battle, but he had never been superstitious about Darwin. Instead of handing over his army to the descendants of martial artists who liked to open city gates, it would be better to try to find Lu Xiangsheng from an army of 100,000.

"Your Majesty, a little impatience will ruin a big plan!" Wan An could see Zhu Youtang's desire to take the lead in the battle, but he still reminded him earnestly.

Zhu Youtang naturally would not start a war because of this matter. He even waved his hand and said: "As the British Lord requested, please stand down!"

"Your Majesty, please leave!" Wan An and Liu Ji exchanged glances and said politely.

The time has coincidentally arrived in mid-November, and the Penal Department Prison looks even more gloomy.

Today is the day of the Autumn Festival, and the officials are also worried about being retaliated by evil spirits, so they try their best to satisfy the demands of the prisoners on death row, such as a blind date with their relatives and a good meal.

"If I don't want to eat this, please bring me all the delicious dishes from the Four Seasons Restaurant!" In the deepest cell of the death row, Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou spat disdainfully in front of the food that was brought to him, and demanded at the same time.

The prison head couldn't help but smile bitterly, but pointed to the food on the ground and said: "Master Marquis, please don't embarrass me anymore. These are the best meats that I picked out!"

"I just want the food from Four Seasons Restaurant! If that doesn't work, call Zhu Youtang over to me!" Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou said with a rogue face.

"If he doesn't eat, he will be released directly from custody at that time!" The doctor in charge of the escort came over and told the prison guard. He looked at Qingyun Marquis in the prison and said, "Do you think you are still the Marquis? It is difficult to enforce the law in this country. Rong, you should never arrange for people to enter the 12th Battalion, and you should not show any disrespect to His Majesty. Just calling His Majesty by his first name is enough to kill him unjustly!"

The prison boss had been a lot angry during this period, and he also reacted at this time: "Yes, you won't eat if you don't want to eat! You dare to call His Majesty by his name, you will be executed, and death will not be a pity!"

"I just call him Zhu Youtang by his first name. He just repays kindness with hatred! If I hadn't killed Wan Gui back then and he was raised by the demon concubine, he would have been killed by the demon concubine a hundred times!" Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou no longer cares. Regardless, he seemed confident and confident.

The corners of the doctor's mouth opened slightly, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of Du Ming, the Minister of Punishment, who had appeared at some point. He immediately saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty!"

Du Ming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, had a solemn expression on his face, and said dissatisfiedly to the prisoner who was also stunned: "What are you still doing? Slap his mouth and seal his mouth!"

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

The corners of Zhou Shou's mouth were slapped severely for more than ten times until they were swollen into fat intestines, and then his mouth was blocked with tattered cloth strips.

The doctor of the Ministry of Punishment vaguely felt that this was a huge secret, so he asked seriously: "Master, do you want to report to His Majesty?"

"Watch your mouth! How can you take what a death row prisoner says seriously? Look at him and don't let him bark!" Du Ming's face was solemn, and he said clearly.

The doctor from the Ministry of Punishment trembled, and he held his hands in his hands and said: "As you command!"

After the death row prisoners had their last meal, it was almost noon.

Of course, beheading must also pay attention to time, and three quarters of noon is the final time to swing the sword.

When Qingyun Marquis Zhou Shou was being led into the prison car, he finally felt scared. Although his mouth was stuffed with cloth, he kept whining, and tears of fear already spilled down his cheeks.

"No, no, I don't want to die!"

It was not only Zhou Shou, the Marquis of Qingyun, who was executed today, but the lineup executed with him was very luxurious, including Li Min, the Minister of Household Affairs, Ni Yue, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Zhun, the eunuch of the Bureau of Li Bingbi.

In previous years, just picking out any one of them would have been a big event that would cause a stir in the capital. It's just that this year, these big shots seem to have suddenly been reduced to worthless, with just one pull.

However, none of these people were innocent. The amount of stolen silver that Chen Zhun embezzled from Mo set a new record for an eunuch, and the amount of stolen silver that Li Min, the Minister of Household Affairs, embezzled from Mo, became the largest embezzlement of gold and silver since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

After Qingyun Hou Zhou Shou and other important death row prisoners were put into the prison car, the motorcade slowly drove out of the Prison Temple, left Xijiangmi Lane, and headed towards the Xishi-Xisi Archway.
