Chapter 170 (2) The Khanate Rebellion

Speaking of the Junggar tribe, it has a really, really long history.There is no need to talk about the time that is too long ago. Just talk about the time of Ming Yingzong in the Ming Dynasty. There was a tribe of Oala outside the pass.The tribe was so fierce that they even captured Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, and even took advantage of the situation to drive straight in, intending to attack Beijing.Fortunately, Yu Qian, the loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty who guarded the city, hurriedly established a new emperor in the city, which prevented the complete defeat of the Ming Dynasty.

In short, this Wala tribe is not easy to mess with. However, with the development of history, the people of the Wara tribe became more and more peace-loving. Before long, a well-behaved tribe was inexplicably divided into four, known as the four Oirats in history. Which four Oirats? The first Oirat, known as the Heshuot tribe in history.The tribe initially wandered around Urumqi, but later the fifth Dalai Lama and the fourth Panchen Lama jointly issued an invitation letter, so the Heshuote tribe went to Qinghai and entered Tibet. The second Oirat is the Turhut tribe, who lives in Tacheng, Xinjiang.

The third Oirat is the Durbert Department, living on the banks of the Irtysh River. The fourth Oirat is the Junggar tribe. This tribe is relatively stable and basically does not move its nest in the Ili area. The history of the Oirats will continue to be written by the Oirat of the Junggar tribe. This is a massive and immortal epic. This epic was written by Batur Hongtaiji, the leader of the Choros people. Listen to this name, in front of it is the most typical Mongolian name Batur, which means hero and warrior.The latter half is Hong Taiji, which means royal prince. It was this crown prince hero who established the Junggar Khanate in the Talbahatai area in the northeast of the Kazakh grassland. The Khanate was established in 1640, four years earlier than the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1653, the crown prince hero Batur Hongtaiji passed away unfortunately. The crown prince hero gave birth to nine sons in total, among which the Khan concubine Yum Hagas gave birth to the fifth and sixth sons. Sengge, the sixth child is the reincarnation of Wensa Living Buddha. Therefore, this Khan position was inherited by Wensa Tulku's elder brother, the fifth monk. In addition, before the crown prince died, Hero divided all his property into two, half to his fifth son, Seng Ge, and the other half to the other eight sons.This unfair property distribution plan aroused the great anger of the brothers, so the two oldest sons of the Crown Prince Hero, one named Chechen and the other named Zhuot Babatur, stood up and questioned this fair policy. distribution plan.

When power is questioned, there is only one solution: kill! Chechen and Zhuote Babatur brought the people in the tribe and came to kill the general aggressively. Sengge also brought his supporters and killed the general in angrily. Civil war is imminent. The leaders of other tribes in the Khanate stood in line to express their views, so the Junggar Khanate quickly split into two hostile camps, the North and the South. South camp: headed by Sengge, with supporters father-in-law Eqiertu and uncle Chuhuer Ubash. Northern camp: headed by Sengge's half-brother Chechen and Chot Babatur, and its supporters are mainly Sengge's father-in-law's younger brother Abarataiji.

Look at these two camps, except for the elder brother is the younger brother, except for the uncle is the father-in-law.Therefore, the conflict between these two camps has always been limited to a small area, and as time goes by, the demands of Chechnya and Zhuot Babatur are not met, which means that Sengge is not in this conflict. gradually gained the upper hand. Just at this juncture, the Russian Empire started to move southward, detaining the Kyrgyz Gongmin in Junggar in Tomsk. At the same time, an emissary, Kuvinsky, left the snow-covered Siberia and came to Xinjiang, China.
