But military power must be stripped away.
The specific model was similar to the Mongol rule over Dali.
The King of Dali is still alive.
At the same time, military and political power was transferred to Mongolia.
After Ceche withdrew,
The Yellow-headed Uyghur envoy was brought in again.
The Yellow-headed Uyghurs had many tribes.
Moreover, there is a lack of a high-ranking leader with sufficient prestige.
They roamed northern Qinghai, southwestern Gansu, and southeastern Xinjiang.
Nominally, it belonged to the Longyou Protectorate of the Great Song Dynasty.
They usually paid tribute to the Song Dynasty with some local specialties.
They also ate some leftovers from the Silk Road.
If threatened by the Western Xia military force
They would then request the Song Dynasty to send troops to help.
If the Song Dynasty were to attack the Western Xia from the Hehuang region,
This would also prompt the Yellow-Headed Uyghurs to send troops.
They raided the southwestern border of Western Xia (mainly by plundering).
After some discussion,
Zhao Yuan agreed to bestow the title.
The Ming Dynasty will be among the various tribes of the Yellow-Headed Uyghurs.
The three generals were appointed.
The other tribal leaders were all generals.
The Longyou Protectorate of the Northern Song Dynasty has been abolished.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will be re-established in the future.
The Yellow-headed Uyghurs were an extremely important force in guiding the way.
Zhao Yuan inquired, "West of Western Xia lies Gaochang,"
What country lies west of Gaochang?
A yellow-headed Uyghur envoy said,
"West of Gaochang lies the Black Khanate,"
"The religion I believe in is the Abbasid Caliphate."
Zhao Yuan nodded in thought.
This corresponds to the Karakhanid Khanate in my memory.
At this time, the Karakhanid Khanate
It has been divided into east and west parts.
Later, Yelü Dashi led a western expedition.
The main target of their campaign was the Eastern Karakhanid Khanate.
After the Eastern Karakhanid Khanate annexed Khotan,
They are still pretending to be from Khotan and offering tribute.
In official documents, the Song emperors were referred to as "the Han emperor's maternal uncle, the great official."
A bunch of regimes from the Western Regions came to China to claim kinship.
The reason for this was that a Tang Dynasty emperor married off a princess.
At that time, the princess was married off to a Uyghur.
This led to the situation since the late Tang and Five Dynasties period.
The various regimes in the Western Regions were all vying for the legitimacy of the Uyghurs.
Even the Karakhanid Khanate, which invaded from the west,
They also adapted to local customs and vied for Uyghur legal authority.
They were eager to become the nephew of the Chinese emperor.
Chapter 1768 Legal System
And there's some truth to it.
Because the Karakhanid Khanate was established by the westward-migrating Uyghurs.
Legal system, this thing...
It sounds rather abstract, though...
However, it is extremely easy to use.
It can increase the stability of the rule.
Establishing the legitimacy of the ruler,
This increases the difficulty for domestic rebels to launch a rebellion.
.....
The envoy sent by Yelü Dashi
His name is Xiao Wulila!
This person was born into the Xiao clan, a royal family of the Liao Dynasty.
He once served as the king of the six tribes of Xi.
Captured and imprisoned by the Jurchens
After successfully escaping,
He always stayed by Yelü Dashi's side.
Xiao Wulila paid his respects and exchanged a few pleasantries.
To get straight to the point,
"I've heard that the Jin army is marching south,"
"In Hebei, a false emperor of the Song dynasty was established."
"The Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were enemies."
"They are also enemies of our Great Liao,"
"My Great Khan wishes to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty,"
"The two countries are sworn brothers,"
"Next year, we'll launch a pincer attack on the Jin Kingdom from both the north and south!"
Zhao Yuan asked, "How many troops does your lord have?"
Xiao Wulila said, "The Great Khan has 100,000 elite troops!"
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "If we really have 100,000 elite troops,"
"They probably went to fight the Jin Dynasty long ago."
Xiao Wulila said, "Although there are not 100,000,"
"There are definitely 60,000 elite troops."
Zhao Yuan said, "Go back and tell Yelü Dashi,"
"How many soldiers does he have?"
“I know very well,”
There's no need to bluff or deceive.
"The Ming Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty will inevitably clash next year,"
"At that time, he can send troops to launch a flanking attack on the Jin state."
"His Highness Prince Liang is indeed a straightforward person!"
Xiao Wuli was overjoyed.
At this time, Yelü Dashi,
I haven't thought about a westward expedition yet.
He had been working to consolidate the remaining forces of the Liao Dynasty.
He wanted to lead his troops back from the northern desert.
Two years ago, Yelü Dashi also contacted the Western Xia.
Send the Western Xia to attack the Jin dynasty's territory in northern Shanxi.
Who knew that the Western Xia would betray him so easily?
They directly submitted to the Jin Dynasty and paid tribute.
What about "Yelü Dashi's two hundred iron cavalry conquering Central Asia"?
That's pure bullshit.
Yelü Dashi's current residence is in Qadun City.
That is, near Ulaanbaatar.
He has ruled the northern desert for two or three years.
Incorporating the Liao Dynasty's northern border defense forces.
The troops under its direct control number over ten thousand.
Now they are forcing the Nianbagh tribe of Altay to submit.
They also ordered the Gaochang Uyghurs to submit.
Let the Gaochang Uyghurs keep the traitorous Western Xia in check.
If a real war breaks out,
Yelü Dashi might very well lead out 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry!
Xiao Wulila said, "The Great Khan has already made friendly relations with the White Tatars."
"The White Tatars will no longer sell horses to the Jin Dynasty."
"The other tribes also have dealings with the Great Khan,"
"Your Highness, despite the war with the Jin Kingdom,"
"The Great Khan will surely be able to tie down 200,000 Jin troops in the north!"
"Then I wish the Ming and Liao dynasties a victorious opening ceremony!" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
The White Tatars are the Ongud tribe.
Under Yelü Dashi's instigation,
They openly chose to break with the Jin Dynasty.
Although nominally still subservient to the Jin Dynasty,
However, they refused to provide the Jin dynasty with warhorses and soldiers.
Meanwhile, Yelü Dashi was planning to send troops.
