The Wala (also known as the Weyrat) was originally a Mongol tribe active in the western part of the steppe, and after the decline of the Golden Family, it quickly rose during the Renxuan period and even unified the entire steppe for a time. During the orthodox years, the Wala Taishi also first created the "Tumu Fort Change", even if the Ming Dynasty won the defense of Beijing after the Ming Dynasty, but the losses of the Wala were actually not large, so what caused the rapid decline of the Wala? In fact, from the day of its rise, Wala has already laid the foundation of the curse.
The continued decline of the Golden Family, and the rapid rise of The Wallachians during the Reign of Renxuan
In the 28th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1368), in the face of the large-scale Northern Expedition of the Ming army, the Yuan Shun Emperor Bo'er only saw that it was impossible to resist, and quickly led the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty to retreat to Shangdu, preserving the last shred of strength for the Northern Yuan. In order to completely eliminate the threat of the Northern Yuan, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to the Northern Expedition many times while actively recovering Yunnan, Liaodong and other places, so that the Northern Yuan forces completely withdrew from the Central Plains and moved to the north of the desert.
Map of the situation at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty
In the twenty-first year of Hongwu (1388), Lan Yu commanded an army of 150,000 people out of Daning, defeated the Mongol Khan Degusi Timur at Yu'erhai, and the remnants of the Northern Yuan's main force suffered a devastating blow, and dozens of people, including the prince Tianbaonu, Zhiyuan Pinch lai, and Xiang Xiang lost liemen, fled to Helin, and were hanged by the general Su Di'er along the Tula River along the Tula River, together with his son Tianbaonu.
After the Battle of Yu'erhai, the Golden Family completely lost its supremacy in the minds of the Mongols, after which most of the Mongol tribes broke away from their rule, and the Mongolian steppe was officially divided into two parts, the Wala and tatars, of which the Tatars, who were descendants of the Golden Family, were the Khans of The Golden Family, but the power was in the hands of taishi Arutai; the Wala was the most important of the Maham, Taiping, and Bald Polo. In order to compete for the throne of the Mongol Khan, the Vara and the Tatars fought frequently, and their forces were weakened.
After the tatars weakened, the Wallachians took advantage of the rise
In the eighth year of Ming Yongle (1409), Taishi Arutai killed the Ming envoy Guo Ji, and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was furious and sent the general Qiu Fu to lead an army of 100,000 to the north, resulting in Qiu Fu's light enemy venture and suffered a disastrous defeat. Therefore, starting from the following year, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di led an army to conquer Mongolia five times, and under Zhu Di's blows, the Tatars suffered heavy losses, and the Khan Ben Yaburi was also attacked and killed by the Wallachians.
Due to the serious loss of Ming Chengzu's successive conquests, the Ming Dynasty began to shift from strategic offensive to strategic defense during the Renxuan period, and Wa La took the opportunity to begin a strong rise. In the ninth year of Xuande (1434), the leader of the Wallachians, Qiu Luo Tuohuan, attacked and killed the Tatar Khan Adai and the Taishi Arutai, and then killed the two kings of Xianyi and Anle in the early years of orthodoxy, unifying the Mongol Empire.
The "change of the civil fort" is the situation in the world
In the fourth year of orthodoxy (1439), Dehuan died, and his son also succeeded to the throne as King Taishihuai. At this point, the power of Walla was extremely strong. In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449), also a large-scale attack on Ming, the eunuch Wang Zhen threatened Emperor Yingzong to march in person, defeated at Tumu Fort, ming Yingzong was captured, known in history as the "Change of Tumu Fort".
The rise of Walla was fraught with hidden dangers, laying the foundation for its eventual decline
Although the Rise of the Wallachians, in the Mongolian Yuan Period, they were only the in-laws of the Golden Family, and did not have an overly prominent history, could not have the prestige and appeal of the Golden Family, and could only conquer the Mongol tribes by force, but this bloody conquest was obviously extremely unfavorable to its rule.
Also first stills
In order to justify the rule of The Mongols, Vara launched an attack on the Chagatai Khanate, a descendant of the Golden Family, defeating the Weisi Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and forcibly marrying The Sister of The Khan of Weisi Khan, Princess Hanim. Since Wes khan was a golden family, this political marriage gave the Walas enough blood to appeal to all Mongols, but the rule of the Walas was still extremely fragile.
Although this action maintained the rule of the Wallachians over the Mongol tribes to a certain extent, there were also serious hidden dangers within the Wallachians. Although she was the nominal khan, the actual power was in the hands of Ye Xian, and Ye Xian was proud of himself and coveted the Khan's position, which made she extremely jealous of the desirability, which laid the foundation for the internal division of the Wala later.
After the defeat in the defense of Beijing, due to the war weariness of the soldiers and the many internal contradictions, they were finally forced to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty in the first year of Jingtai (1450), and sent the town of Zhu Qi of Ming Yingzong back to the Ming Court, and the two sides resumed normal relations between the two sides, which directly led to the damage to Ye Xian's reputation.
Also killed first to get rid of the flowers and established itself as a Khan, and internal discontent broke out rapidly
In the second year of Jingtai (1451), he also hoped to make his sister's son the crown prince, but he wanted to take advantage of the fact that his reputation was damaged and get out of his control, so he refused, and the long-accumulated discontent between the two sides quickly broke out, and a fierce war broke out between the two sides.
Initially, he and his younger brother Aga Dorji joined forces, but they also fought a close battle with Ya first, but the two brothers later had infighting, and Aga Dorji defected first, and after the defeat of Tak Dorzi, he fled into Wuliangha, and was soon killed by his ex-wife's father, Shabutan. After the death of Theafu, he also booby-trapped Aga Dorji, and then established himself as the "Great Khan of Heavenly Saints", with the title of "Tim Yuan", with the second son Ah Lost Timur as his master.
He also established himself as a khan, which directly caused dissatisfaction among the descendants of the Mongolian Golden Family and their supporting tribes, and then turned to the hope of winning the support of the Ming court, so he made peace with the Ming court in the fourth year of Jingtai (1453), and even declared himself a subordinate of the Ming court, which although it successfully won the support of the Ming court, but also caused its prestige to suffer a serious blow.
At the same time, after claiming the title of Khan, Arachi-in sought the position of Taishi, not only did not allow it, but killed his two sons one after another, and in a fit of rage, Ara-Chi-in rebelled in the sixth year of Gyeongtae (1455), and was assassinated first. After his death, his son, Rus Amasanchi, succeeded to the Khanate.
In the seventh year of Jingtai (1456), Qoros Amasangchi invaded the Chagatai Khanate and defeated Yunus Khan near the Ili River. At this time, Empress Hanim (sister of Weshan) created chaos in the rear, and her sons did not stab the two brothers, Xin and Yaliyasi, rebelled against Ama Sanchi, and although it ended in failure, Weyrat's strength was severely weakened.
Wallach eventually split into four parts
At the same time as the civil unrest in the Wala, the descendants of the Golden Family were re-integrated in the civil strife, and then took the opportunity to attack westward, and the Wala was forced to withdraw from central Mongolia. With the continued decline of the Walas, its clan was finally divided into the four ministries of Dzungar, Heshuot, Turgut, and Durbert in the 22nd year of Jiajing (1543 AD).
