Tokhtaji.

When this person is on his side, any Mongolian will feel full of confidence; And when he is on the side of the opponent, almost every Mongolian will have a chill in his heart.

A person's martial bravery can't actually determine the victory of a war, but the Mongols worship heroes, and in this Mongolian society where cold weapons have not been replaced, heroes like Tokhtar will always have special charm and prestige.

What's more, Tokhtar's prestige does not entirely come from his personal martial arts, in fact, his achievements are equally brilliant. In his more than 30 years of conquest career, he traveled thousands of miles with Altan Khan, from Monan to Mobei, from Saibei to the Western Regions (Warat), from Wuliangha to Qinghai...... He has never been defeated in a battle on his own.

Not to mention that in the previous battle of Monan, Toto's performance was perfect, except for Gao Shiji, the actual commander-in-chief, he was the most dazzling.

Such a man, when he appears on such an occasion to beat the reservoir dogs, who of his enemies can be calm, and not have the courage to lose all their hearts?

When the banner of Tokhtar and the Tumut cavalry appeared in all directions, coming with billowing yellow dust, up to Boshoktu, down to the ordinary Ordos cavalry, all of them lost their courage in an instant.

The mines are very powerful, and the Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, but these are not terrible, because as long as you rush out, you will have a way to live.

However, the detachment that occurred at this time was the most terrifying, which meant that the Ordos Department had lost the fundamental pride of its pride in this operation - mobility.

Everyone is a Mongolian cavalry, and Toktok is not only highly capable, but also waits for work, what is the difficulty of killing their group of Ordos cavalry who have suffered a big loss? Even if it's not easy, I'm afraid it won't take much effort.

What's more, Ma Gui's words just now are still in my ears, who knows where there are still a large number of thunderbolt artillery buried near here, waiting for them to collide?

Chataiji's encirclement quickly shrunk, and he himself ran to the front of the battle first, saluted Ma Zongrong not far from Ma Gui, and then stood still, took out the golden arrow order from his arms, and raised it towards Bo Shuo Ketu, shouting: "Bo Shuo Ketu, you can recognize this thing!" ”

Bo Shuoketu naturally recognized, but he was really reluctant to answer, and the veteran next to him quietly stretched out his leg and gently kicked the stirrup on his right foot, and reminded in a low voice: "Jinong? ”

Boshoketu sighed and shouted at Chataiji, "Uncle Tokhtar is here to kill me?" ”

Chataiji said loudly: "I have already sworn in this life, I will be loyal to the command of Tumut Khan, and I will not take your life if Hannaji Chechen Khan did not order me, so I will naturally not kill the descendants of the Golden Family!" ”

Bo Shuoketu smiled and shouted: "In that case, what order did my good Aha give you to make you commit a crime and surround the Jinong Division?" ”

Chataiji also laughed when he heard this, and then suddenly smiled, and said coldly: "Boshoketu, I want to teach you to know: Chechen Khan has begun to convene the Kuritai Assembly to discuss whether to depose your Jinong!" Although the conference has not yet been held, he has decided to suspend your Jinong's power, and I am here to order you to return to Huacheng and wait for the conference to convene!" ”

Bo Shuoketu and even the veterans around him changed their faces drastically, and Bo Shuoketu said angrily: "My position as Jinong in the Ordos Department has not only been around for a long time, but also I am the deputy Khan of the Great Mongolian State, how can he abolish Hannaji if he says that he can abolish it!" ”

"Jinong" is a transliteration of the Mongolian word Jinong, which is translated as "Ji Nang" and "Ji Neng" in the Chinese of the Ming Dynasty, which is a Chinese loanword, derived from the word "King of Jin" in the Yuan Dynasty (Note: In fact, it was not translated as "Jinong" until the Tatar and Qing dynasties, and it is called Jinong in this book for the purpose of adopting a widely known usage).

After Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he abandoned the old capital of Mobei Hara and Lin, and built Dadu and Shangdu as the two capitals of the Yuan Dynasty. Although the Great Khan and the Khan's court left Mobei and the political center of the Yuan Dynasty moved south, the hinterland of the Mongolian Plateau, as the land of Taizu Longxing and the four great ears of Genghis Khan, is still the fundamental place of Mongol rule.

In order to strengthen his rule over the fundamental land of Mobei, Kublai Khan implemented a system of guarding Mobei with a prince and ruling on behalf of the Great Khan. In the third year of Zhiyuan (1266), the second son Namuhan was named the king of Beiping (later renamed the king of Bei'an), and the town of Lingbei.

After the death of Namuhan, in the twenty-ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1292), the king of Liang Ganmala was renamed the king of Jin, and the town of Mobei was "led by the four major ears of Taizu and the military horses and the land of Dada", and the kings of Mobei were subject to its control.

In this way, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, who was also the Great Khan, ruled the world in both capitals, and the King of Jin went out of Mobei, guarding the four major ears of Genghis Khan on behalf of the Great Khan, and controlling the thousands of kings of Mobei.

After the death of Ganmala, the son and grandson Temur succeeded to the king. After the death of Chengzong, Yesun Temur ascended to the throne of the emperor by virtue of the powerful military power of Mobei in his hands, and was the emperor of Taiding. After Emperor Taiding ascended the throne, he was crowned the king of Jin with the heir of his second son Ba's Ma Yier, and guarded Mobei.

In the battle between the two capitals in the first year of Yuanzhihe and the first year of Tianli (1328), Ma Yier, who was in Shangdu, was killed, and since then, the Jin dynasty has ended its rule over Mobei.

The Jin king of the Yuan Dynasty led the four major ears of Taizu Genghis Khan for a long time, and was responsible for presiding over the sacrifice of Genghis Khan in Mongolia. After the Yuan Dynasty moved north to the steppe, the old Mongolian system, which was compatible with the nomadic economic base, was gradually restored, and by the time of Dayan Khan, Mongolia formally established the Jinong system and the left and right wing system.

Under this system, the Great Khan, as the supreme leader of the Mongol regime, commanded the left wing of the tribes and stationed in the tent of Chahar Wanhu; Jinong, as the deputy khan, commanded the right-wing departments, and directly led the Ordos Wanhu where Genghis Khan's Eight White Chambers were located, and was responsible for the guards and sacrificial activities of the Eight White Chambers.

It can be said that the Jinong system of Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty is a continuation of the institutional tradition of the prince represented by the King of Jin in the Yuan Dynasty to guard Mobei and rule on behalf of the Great Khan.

In fact, the Jinong of Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty can be traced back to the period when the Dai Zong Khan was supported by the nobles of Warat and the father and son. The first person to bear the title of "Jinong" is the great-grandfather of Dayan Khan, Agabarzi, who was also the younger brother of Dai Zong Khan.

It is recorded in "The Origin of Mongolia": "Taisong Taiji established himself as Hehan in his early years, when he was eighteen years old, and he was named seventeen-year-old Aheba Er. "Among them, Taisong Taiji is the general sweat of Dai and does not take off, and Ahi Baer is only Agabal Jinong. Agabarzi was given the title of Jinon and sent to the right flank.

However, according to the Mongolian historical records, this Jinong was confused by the discord of the Warat nobles at the critical moment when the contradiction between his brother Tokhoff and Yexian intensified, and the two sides resorted to force. Agabarzijinon was also killed by Yexian, and his son Khargu Chuktaiji was also killed while fleeing.

The second person who has the title of "Jinong" in the records is Bayan Mengke, the grandson of Agabar Jinong and the father of Dayan Khan.

According to Mongolian historical records, Bayan Munke was the widow of Hargu Chuktaiji and was born to the daughter of Yexian. At the age of three, he was sent to Eastern Mongolia and stayed with the young master of Arochu, who later married his daughter to him. Read it

According to the Han historical records, in the sixth year of Chenghua (1470), Polo Hu led his troops to unite with the young master A Luo who entered and exited the Hetao, "General Pinglu, Chief Military Officer, and Zhu Yongjuan, Marquis of Funing: The captive chief A Luo went out to sneak into the Hetao and haunted the border. "The Polo here is the Polo Hu.

Polo Hu and A Luo also jointly sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute. Polo is the son-in-law of Aro, which shows that Polo and Arochu are united through the traditional means of marriage between nomads and "become one". However, in the environment of plateau swinging, crowds of heroes competing for deer, various departments fighting vertically and horizontally, and turbulent disputes, the alliance between the two sides did not last long.

In the seventh year of Chenghua (1471), Polo suddenly married a new upstart, and united with the powerful nobleman with a different surname, Gathlan, to expel Aluozu from the Hetao, annexed some of Aluo's subordinates, and his power gradually became stronger. After that, Polo Hu acted together with Gaslan and Mandulu, and continued to plunder the border of the Ming Dynasty on a large scale.

In the eleventh year of Chenghua (1475), Gaslan "consulted with the people, and wanted to make the prince of Poluhu the khan, and his own daughter's wife, because he made himself the prince, Poluhu did not dare to be the prince, so that his uncle Mandulu." Polo gave up his position in the Khan, and together with the white dagger Gathlan, he proclaimed his uncle Mandulu as the Great Khan.

After Mandu Lu ascended the throne, he was named Jinong and called Polo Kujinong, "Thus, the ancestors and grandsons of Mandu Lu Hehan and Polo Huji Nang agreed to govern 60,000 households together."

Polo Khujinong did his best to assist Manduru Khan and restore the rule of the Golden Family, which was quite impressive for a time. However, the Great Khan's joint rule with Jinon's ancestors did not last long. For the heterogeneous ministers, who had become accustomed to arbitrary power, they did not want to see the revival of the Golden Family's rule, so they deliberately undermined the unity between Manduru Khan and Polo Khujinong.

In that year, Agabar Zinon was provoked by the nobles of Warat to betray his brother and unite with Warat, resulting in the defeat of the Great Khan and the killing of Jinon himself. Now, also under the strong provocation of nobles with different surnames, the conflict between Mandulu Khan and Polo Khujinong soon intensified.

In October of the twelfth year of Chenghua (1476), "Mandulu and Gasilan killed Polo Hu, Mandu Zhiyuan, Mengke and other three people", Polo Kujinong was killed, and the department was annexed.

Later scholars once spoke highly of Polo Khujinong, "He apparently led a fairly powerful tribal group, and this was the first Taiji since the early Ming Dynasty to command a powerful Taiji without being constrained by others." In the end, although he also failed, his insight and talent were obviously superior among the Mongolian feudal lords in the Ming Dynasty."

Under the management of Mandulu Khan and Polo Khujinong, the initial revival of the Golden Family laid the foundation for Dayan Khan's revival.

Therefore, it can be said that before Dayan Khan, only the above two people had the title of Jinong, and the "Jinong" at that time should be just a title like Taishi and Prime Minister, and it was not a stable political system.

As an important political system of Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty, Jinong was formally established or formed after Dayan Khan's conquest of right-wing Mongolia.

After Dayan Khan ascended the throne, at the request of some right-wing nobles, he ordered his second son, Urus Porot, to be "Jinong" and go to the right wing. This may have been Dayan Khan's first attempt to establish a Jinong system.

However, this matter went very wrong, and Ulus Porot was murdered by right-wing nobles with different surnames during the inauguration ceremony of Jinon in front of the Eight White Rooms. This incident also became the direct trigger for Dayan Khan's military conquest of the right flank.

In the fifth year of Zhengde (1510), through the Battle of Dharantrigon, Dayan Khan's military conquest of the right wing achieved a decisive victory. As a result, Dayan Khan re-proclaimed the Khan title in front of the Eight White Rooms, and officially named his third son, Baals Porot, as Jinong, and ruled over 30,000 households on the right wing.

"Replying that Hehan had completely subdued 30,000 households on the right wing, gathered and pacified 60,000 large households, and re-proclaimed the title of Khan before the eight hundred tents of the Holy Lord, and decreed: 'Of my eleven sons, let the son of my eldest son, Tieli Polo, not succeed me as Khan!' The highly decorated Balsu Polo once personally fought for me and regained power in 30,000 households on the right wing, and he was a good fortune on the right wing."

Dayan Khan officially ordered Bals Porot to "make a good fortune on the right wing" in front of the Eight White Chambers, and ruled 30,000 households on the right wing as Jinong, which marked the formal establishment of an important Mongolian political system in the Ming Dynasty - the Jinong system.

Regarding the authority and status of Jinong, Ulan pointed out: "In the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor sat in the capital, and the king of Jin guarded Mongolia and Genghis Khan's four major ears; In the Ming Dynasty, the Great Khan was in charge of the full power, Ji Nang was in charge of the right wing, and Genghis Khan's eight white tents were guarded...... The position of Jinang was equivalent to that of the Great Khan's vice-king, and he held the power of the right wing, usually held by the son or brother of the Great Khan. ”

It can be seen that there are three main functions and powers of Mongolian Jinong in the Ming Dynasty: first, to control the right wing and coordinate the relationship between various ministries; the second is to guard the Eight White Rooms, responsible for Genghis Khan's sacrificial activities; Thirty directly commanded the Ordos Wanhu.

In terms of his political relationship with the Great Khan and his duties and powers such as guarding Genghis Khan's Eight White Chambers, Jinong is quite similar to the Jin kings of the Yuan Dynasty, but in terms of political status, it is clear that Jinong in the Ming Dynasty was higher than the Jin kings in the Yuan Dynasty.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the King of Jin guarded Mongolia as the representative of the Great Khan and guarded the four major ears of Genghis Khan; In the Ming Dynasty, Jinong led the right wing as a deputy khan, guarding the Eight White Rooms.

According to Dayan Khan's institutional arrangement, the Great Khan, as the supreme chief, lived in Chahar Wanhu, directly governed 30,000 households on the left wing, Jinong lived in Ordos 10,000 households, and was in charge of 30,000 households on the right wing. The Great Khan and Jinon served as the chiefs of the left and right wings respectively. Therefore, in the Mongolian historical books, the Great Khan and Jinong are called the two masters, the so-called "the sun and the moon in the heavens, and the two lords of Hehan and Ji Nang in the earth". It can be seen that Jinong's status is very high.

As for Jinon's election, it is generally believed that the son or brother of the Great Khan held the appointment. This was true before Bars Porot, for example, Agabarzijinon was the brother of Tokhun, Polokhuzinong was the nephew of Mandulu Khan (Mandulu Khan had no children), and Urus Porot, who was killed on the eve of his duties, and his successor, Bals Porot, were both sons of Dayan Khan.

However, after Baars Porot, the Jinong elective system underwent a fundamental change, changing from the elective system to the primogeniture system, which was consistent with the primogeniture system for the Khan's throne.

After Baals Porot, his eldest son, Gunbirik, succeeded him as Jinong, and then the position of Jinong was inherited by the eldest descendants of the Gunbirick lineage, in the original history until the end of the Ming and early Qing dynasties, and in this book, of course, it is now until Boshoketu.

Bo Shuoketu's remarks are no problem according to the historical origin of the Jinong system, but the situation in Mongolia has already changed greatly, and Tokhtar did not have any special reaction to this, but said coldly: "In the past, when the first Khan established the Ming Jin State, your grandfather had no objections, but led the Ordos Wanhu to join it, and now he disposes of Hannaji Chechen Khan as the Great Khan of the Ming Jin Kingdom, why not?"

As for your statement that he has no right to depose your Jinong, this is even more ridiculous - the Kuritai Assembly can depose even the Great Khan of Mongolia, let alone you Jinong! In addition, Boshoketu, I would like to remind you that I am a military general, and I am only here to act on the orders of the Great Khan, not to reason with you. It's not impossible for you to be reasonable, but I advise you to save some strength and talk about it at the Curritai conference! ”

Boshoketu was furious and was about to scold, but who knew that Chataiji's words had not been finished, and then he had already preemptively shouted: "Tokhtok is ordered by Chechen Khan, please go to the Kuritai Conference to reason, but someone wants to stop me?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.
