The Mongols live on the steppe, and as steppe children, their natural freedom has long disliked being constrained. In the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang drove the Mongol nobles home, the Mongols began to stir up trouble, and from time to time they came to harass the Ming Dynasty, and once captured Ming Yingzong. When the Qing Dynasty unified the dynasty, Mongolia was defeated by the Qing Dynasty and surrendered, or voluntarily surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. For the Mongols began to like to make trouble, so the Qing Dynasty set up a special court for Mongolia to manage and restrain Mongolia. The Mongols were untamed, and the Qing Dynasty used some method to clean them up obediently.
When Mongolia was annexed to the Qing Dynasty, Mongolia was incorporated into the Qing Dynasty, which was a very gratifying thing for the Qianlong Emperor, so Qianlong wrote a poem "General Yili Plays the Poetry of The All Submissions of the Turba Khan Wobasi". After that, for a long time, the Mongol royal families were peacefully divided in their own territories and no longer harassed the Qing Dynasty. And some, the Mongol princes will also take the initiative to serve the Qing Dynasty. And when the Qing Dynasty fell, there were also Mongol princes, who formed a coalition to go south to Qin Wang.
Such a difficult Mongol was actually appeased by the Qing Dynasty, so what was the method used to clean up these Mongol princes so obediently. Next, I will introduce it to you. First, the Qing Dynasty conquered Mongolia by force. When the Qing Dynasty was first established, the Mongol tribes always had a heart that wanted to invade the Central Plains. So sometimes riots were launched to challenge the Qing Dynasty. However, in the face of the Mongol unrest, the Qing Dynasty did not hesitate to choose to take them down, let the Mongols be included in the Qing Dynasty, and conquer them by force.
During the reign of Kangxi, the Mongol Gar tribes had always had ambitions, so they established the Dzungar Khanate and prepared to launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty. So the Dzungar rebels directly fought all the way to Ulanbutong and Inner Mongolia on the border of Hebei, and then the Qing Dynasty sent troops to stop the rebels, and the Han army was controlled. At that time, Kangxi personally led the army to go out, but the opposition of the ministers came to fight the rebels. Faced with the emperor's personal expedition, the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were greatly encouraged. Thus conquered the rebels. Finally, the area around the north of the desert was pacified.
Although the northern part of the desert was pacified, the Gar rebels were not pacified. Therefore, in the later two generations of emperors of Kangxi and Qianlong, they continued to pursue the Gar Khanate. In the face of such an attack by the Qing Dynasty, the Dzungar Khanate naturally could not stand it, so the Dzungar Khanate was completely destroyed. For the Mongols, the Qing Dynasty has always been in a state of being beaten if they are disobedient, and have been beaten until they are obeyed.
The second is through marriage. At that time, the Ming Dynasty resolutely did not make peace with the Mongol royal family. The Qing Dynasty learned from the previous lessons, they were willing to make peace with the Mongols, the Mongol royal family sent their daughters to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty would also marry their daughters to the Mongolian royal family.
So under the method of marriage and force. The Mongols finally changed their rebellious hearts and decided to have friendly relations with the Qing Dynasty, so the Qing Dynasty also recovered Mongolia. In the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Xianfeng Emperor urgently mobilized the Mongol nobles to encircle and suppress them. The Mongol nobles eventually annihilated the Taiping Army. When Mongolia was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, it was always very loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Empress Dowager Longyu later declared the end of Qing rule. The Mongol princes also planned to form a coalition and go south to qin the king.
At this time, the Mongol princes really couldn't imagine that the unruly Mongols before would be so loyal!
