The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

Besides, Horqin is not a group of harmony, but like a plate of scattered sand. Although they all live on the Horqin Grassland, the Borzigit clan is not a complete tribe.

It is divided into several tribes.

Speaking of which, everyone is a relative of the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty, but the relatives are different from each other.

The empress dowager is in her fifties and almost sixty, and there are not many elders left. Most of her contemporaries are gone on the grasslands, and those younger than her are not familiar with her, and they come only as a kowtow Worm, the empress dowager doesn't like to see her either.

The empress dowager slept very comfortably that night, but when she woke up the next morning, her eyelids were a little swollen, but the breakfast was arranged by the fourteenth elder brother. There were two boiled eggs for the empress dowager to apply to her eyes, and the food was pheasant Custard, baked buns and milk tea.

Then the empress dowager found out that the nanny had changed herself into a Mongolian costume.

In the past, she always wore clothes that suited her status. The Empress Dowager's clothes were luxurious and dignified, and she wore many gold ornaments on her body.

But now, the empress dowager has changed into a Mongolian costume that is convenient for riding a horse. Although it is simple, it is still gorgeous.

The fabric is good!

And the empress dowager laughed as soon as she got out of the tent: "What are you doing? Dressing me up like this?"

"Please get on the horse, Huang Ma." The fourteenth elder brother smiled and came to help the Empress Dowager himself: "Today, my grandson will accompany you to ride a horse, let us be companions in the world of mortals, live a chic and unrestrained life, ride the horse gallop, and share the prosperity of the world."

The lyrics are good, very suitable for the empress dowager, although people are old, there is no distinction between young and old in having fun.

"Good, good!" The Empress Dowager said in a good mood, "I haven't ridden a horse for many years, and I don't know if I can run."

"Sure, this horse is a good horse that my grandson picked out from Huang Ma's stable." In fact, it is the most honest horse, so as not to have a good time and run too fast to bump the Queen Dowager.

Brother Fourteen and the eunuch beside him helped him onto the horse, and he himself rode on it. The two horses walked side by side for a while, allowing the empress dowager to get used to the horse, and let the horse get used to the empress dowager.

Get up early in the morning and leave early, and the servants will get up and prepare in the middle of the night.

This group of people spend a lot of sleep in the car during the day, but fortunately they go to bed early at night, and there are many servants, so they can rest in shifts.

The fourteenth elder brother chatted with the empress dowager, talking and laughing for a while, the empress dowager regained the feeling of her youth, and even suggested horse racing.

"Okay!" Elder Fourteen agreed.

The grandfather and grandson are still racing horses. The fourteenth elder brother deliberately ran very fast, but probably the empress dowager has not ridden a horse for so many years. Fourteenth brother!

The fourteenth elder brother deliberately complained: "Huang Ma doesn't give in to his grandson at all. He runs fast and the horse is steady."

"Your Huang Mamo is a girl who grew up on the grassland. She has been riding a horse since she was a child. Of course she is much better than you." The empress dowager was very proud: "In the future, if you practice more, you will definitely run better than Huang Mamo."

"Then I have to practice hard." Brother Fourteen said solemnly: "Racing horses on the grassland is a joy!"

Sweating all over from running, the Empress Dowager simply washed up in the Fengjia, and after changing her clothes, she was still very happy sitting in the Fengjia, drinking kumiss with a sense of boldness on the grassland.

The fourteenth elder brother asked people to spread the news, and everyone came to congratulate the empress dowager for winning the horse race, and the Mongolian tribe sent a good horse to the empress dowager.

Even Kangxi had heard about it, and asked the left and right: "Is this true?"

"It's true. Elder Fourteen is very regretful. He vowed to win it back. He also said that he would practice riding and shooting well."

The eldest elder brother Zhijun Wang heard this and laughed and said: "It deserves it, let Xiao Shisi doze off every time in class, and he doesn't want to run fast when he runs a horse. Now even Huang Mama has beaten him. Let's see if he will be lazy in the future." Not lazy? My son, who is the eldest brother, gave him two good horses to practice riding and shooting."

The crown prince didn't want the elder brother to win the championship in front of the imperial court, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay to lose to Huang Ma, Huang Ma is a girl on the grassland, and she grew up on a horse since she was a child. It would be bad to lose to those Mongolian princes and nobles."

The Duolun League was a thing in the 30th year of Kangxi.

The Duolun League is also known as the Qixi League, the Duolunuoer League, and the Kangxi League.

It was Kangxi who strengthened the northern border defense and the management of Khalkha Mongolia.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the disputes among the Khalkha and Mongolian ministries involved Russian intervention and Galdan's intervention, and the matter was quite complicated.

And because Khalkha is Mobei Mongolia, it is the farthest away from the Qing Dynasty, and it is also a place that the Qing Dynasty cannot reach. In addition, Tsarist Russia is fanning the flames on the side, so that there are constant internal disputes in Mobei Mongolia, but in order to pursue peace, it is still impossible to sue. The use of force can only be negotiated and mediated.

Therefore, Emperor Kangxi visited the north to personally mediate his internal contradictions and disputes, visit outside the Great Wall, and preside over the alliance.

This is also an opportunity to demonstrate the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty, expressing the friendship between the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia for generations, and showing the obedience and loyalty of the Mongolian tribes to the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, this trouble is a problem left over from history. As early as the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, in the south, north and west of the Gobi Desert, Mongolia was mainly divided into three parts: Monan Mongolia (Inner Mongolia), also known as Chahar Mongolia; Mobei Mongolia (Outer Mongolia), also known as Khalkha Mongolia; Moxi Mongolia (West Mongolia), also known as Erut Mongolia.

Emperor Kangxi and Khalkha Mongol (Outer Mongolia) leaders met in Duolunnuoer (now Inner Mongolia), marking the inclusion of Outer Mongolia into the territory of the Qing Empire, thus completely resolving the Mongolian plateau’s threat to the Central Plains for more than 2000 years.

Khalkha Mongolia is divided into three tribes: Tuxietu Khan (top), Chechen Khan and Zasak Tuhan.

It was only later that the Sanzheng Geerdan incident happened. Now more than ten years have passed, but Kangxi will still occasionally go to Duolun for a walk during his northern tour, and let the Mongols remember this alliance The content of the book remembers the majesty of the Qing emperor.

Second, why bring the sons?

That is to let the Mongols see that there are successors to the Qing Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were not only wise emperors, but also brave princes. For example, the elder brother was very brave;

But if the prince loses to the Mongols during the horse race, although it is not a big deal, it will always embarrass Kangxi.

When the fourth elder brother heard what the prince said, his heart skipped a beat!

Whether it is true that Brother Fourteen lost to the Empress Dowager, no one knows.

But if Huang Ama thinks that Xiao Shisi is unbearable to discipline, poor in riding skills, and lost to the Mongols, then Xiao Sisi will be miserable in the future.

But before the fourth elder brother could say good things to the fourteenth elder brother, Kangxi waved his hand: "I know about the fourteenth elder brother, the little guy knows how to make the old lady happy."

"That's also the filial piety of the fourteenth elder brother!" A certain minister on the side sighed: "The old lady in the minister's family loves the grandson, but the son of the minister is not pleasing to the eye, so don't dare to control it, the eldest son, the younger grandson , the lifeblood of the old lady!"

Several other ministers also sighed, saying that the ancient people "carried grandchildren but not children" because they wanted to educate the next generation, but the thing of intergenerational parenting is common in ancient and modern times.

They sighed like this, but also said that the family relationship of the Tian family is just like that of ordinary people. It is normal for the old lady to protect the grandchildren and the father to educate the children.

After saying this, the atmosphere became even better, and Kangxi was also in a good mood to be complimented, but the eyes he looked at the crown prince became more and more indifferent.

But the crown prince still looked calm, as if he didn't notice anything wrong.

The fourth elder brother just frowned. During dinner, the fourteenth elder brother was still with the empress dowager as a matter of course, but he sent a grilled lamb chop to each of the fourth elder brother and other brothers. This is a lamb chop he grilled himself.

The one given to Kangxi was grilled steak, which was also grilled by him himself, and it tasted like black pepper. It was not only steak, but also grilled vegetables, so as not to eat steak all the time. Kangxi is not young anymore, if there is a third high or something, Brother Fourteen can't stand this.

The fourteenth elder brother didn't eat alone, so he took the thirteenth elder brother with him the next day, and the two brothers were jealous at the empress dowager's place, which made the laughter at the empress dowager's place never stop.

On the third day, Elder Brother Twelve was also brought up.

The three grandchildren are all growing up well, the jade tree faces the wind, and they have the bravery of a Manchurian man. The twelve elder brothers can speak Mongolian, and his Mongolian language is similar to his mother tongue. After all, the twelve elder brothers are Sumara Raised by her aunt, Aunt Su Ma is a pure Mongolian woman.

Brother Fourteen also took the opportunity to learn a lot of Mongolian language.

Only then did he realize that there are differences in the Mongolian language, and there are some slight surprises between one tribe and another, but Mongolians are careless by nature, and few people pay attention to this difference.

After three or five days, when the empress dowager still wanted to play melancholy, she found that she couldn't play, and she was not in the mood. Besides, at their speed, they had already left the border of the Horqin Grassland, and now they have entered the Qixing Within the scope of the lake, they camped on the edge of Qixing Lake, where there are abundant water and grass, flocks of cattle and sheep, green grassland and blue sky.

There is no melancholy atmosphere at all!

Moreover, the fourteenth elder brother and the three of them were too noisy, and they cooperated very skillfully every day. Thirteenth elder brother even had a horse race with the old lady. Well, this time the thirteenth elder brother won!

The fourteenth elder brother approached him in private and told him to do as usual, if he wins, he wins, and he must not adulterate, and lose to the empress dowager.

"After all, it is the thirteenth elder brother of Yunwen Yunwu, who is better than your fourteenth brother." The empress dowager was very happy when she lost, because she could see that her grandson didn't let her.

The old lady refuses to accept her old age!

"The fourteenth brother can do it if he trains hard. He is just lazy." The thirteenth brother took the opportunity and said, "Huangma, my grandson won. Your red horse belongs to my grandson!"

He has been greedy for a long time, and the Empress Dowager has a lot of good horses here, although she doesn't ride very much, but Horqin never gives her many.

"Okay, Huang Ma keeps his word. I'm willing to bet and lose. I'll give it to you!" The empress dowager was very happy that her grandson asked her for it. It was just a horse. She likes it so much, looking at it eagerly, she thinks it's better to satisfy her grandson.

Le's thirteenth brother jumped up and ran to see his big red horse.

The fourteenth elder brother said sourly on the side: "Huang Ma, look at it, this big red horse, I think the thirteenth brother will ride it when he gets married!"

The empress dowager was amused again.

They were laughing and laughing here every day, and later they came to Qixing Lake. After they settled down, many Mongolian tribesmen rushed over and camped around. They had bonfires every day and roasted whole sheep every day.

The camps of the three major tribes of Mongolia in Khalkha and the 49 banners of Inner Mongolia are the camps of princes and nobles, with the camp of Emperor Kangxi as the center, and the yurts surrounded by stars can't see the edge at a glance.

Countless cattle and sheep, treasures, beauties, and horses!

Because the Empress Dowager was born in Mongolia, many noble ladies from the Mongolian tribes would also come to visit her old man and offer the respect of the Mongolian tribes.

The fourteenth elder brother saw a lady from a Khalkha tribe who sent a beautiful woman to the empress dowager.

That is, the beautiful little girl from the defeated tribe on the grassland, she looks really good-looking, with big eyes, fair skin, curly hair, and a good figure.

But what embarrassed Brother Fourteen was, why did he send a beautiful woman to the Empress Dowager?

"Why? Of course it's for the sake of looking good!" The thirteenth elder brother put his arms around the fourteenth elder brother's shoulders, and said carelessly: "There are more in Huang Ama's place!"

"Really?" Elder Fourteen didn't believe it.

The reality hit him hard.

There are about 30 beauties here in the Empress Dowager, all of whom are of mixed race, and there are two blond-haired ones, who are said to be from Tsarist Russia.

And the fourteenth elder brother went back to find his brother, and found that there were more than 50 beauties in his brother's place!

"It's all sent here." The fourth elder brother seemed to be no longer surprised.

Brother Fourteen was dumbfounded: "You have it too?"

"Yes!" The fourth elder brother looked at the little fourteenth: "You are still young, I confiscated your beauties, as well as the thirteenth and twelve ones, let's talk about it after you have a maidservant!"

These three little elder brothers are not yet primary, so they can't mess around.

"I don't want it, brother, you can just ask for it!" He only loves blue makeup but not red makeup, what kind of beauty does he want?

What's more, these beauties are indeed respectful and insensitive.

Because he heard that Mongolia doesn't care much about chastity.

But he later found out that his brother's place is nothing, the elder brother's place has more than 100 people, the prince's place has more than 300 people, Kangxi?Kangxi doesn't count!

When I came to the grassland, many beautiful women were stuffed with people, not to mention horses, cattle and sheep.

And because there are still people who haven't come, during the days of the alliance, everyone is connecting with each other. Horse racing is the most common, followed by singing Mongolian long tunes around the bonfire.

The fourteenth elder brother liked this kind of atmosphere very much. He pulled the empress dowager together, danced around the campfire, and learned the matouqin from others.

At this time, there were no famous songs for Matouqin, but the fourteenth elder brother knew that there were also repertoires for Matouqin, the most famous of which was "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping", which depicts the magnificent construction of the Qianli Grassland in Inner Mongolia.

Someone once said: For the description of the grassland, the melody of a Matouqin is far more vivid than the colors of the painter and the language of the poet.These words are very appropriate. When a melodious Matouqin music is played in people's ears, you close your eyes and meditate along with the melody...
