The footsteps of history have come to the Ming Dynasty Longqing Emperor Muzong
Zhu Zaiyuan
During his reign, an unexpected diplomatic event changed the "Golden State of Great Mongolia", which was growing in the steppe at that time, and changed the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty. It was the third lady who actively dissuaded Altan Khan, so that Altan Khan changed his original attitude and decision-making on this diplomatic incident, thus peacefully resolving the crisis of diplomatic public relations.
It was also the proper resolution of this crisis that brought her to the political stage of the Mongol Empire, and her era on the steppes north of the Great Wall came. The context of this unexpected diplomatic incident from occurrence to resolution is to listen to the author's details.
This accident also has to start with the most beloved little grandson of altan Khan, Hannaki.
Longqing four years
(1570 AD)
One night in the winter, the only son of Altan Khan, Tiebei Taiji, took Hanaji and a few of his henchmen to the gates of Pingluwei Defeated Tiger Fort in Datong Town and waited anxiously. What are you waiting for? Waiting for the acceptance of the governor who guarded Datong at that time.

He wants to surrender to the Ming Dynasty? Yes, the younger grandson of the "Great Mongol Golden Kingdom" Khan Altan Khan, the young and frenzied Hannaji, wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, which was in a hostile relationship with the Mongol Jinguo at that time. Why? Because the grandson was wronged, this grievance was given by his grandfather, who loved himself.
Hey, the little grandson can have any bad thoughts, but he just wants to run away from home and be angry family. So the little grandson simply ran directly to the Side of the Great Wall to surrender to the Han people without stopping, so that he could be angry with Grandpa and make Grandpa anxious, and he couldn't take care of the little grandson himself.
So why did the little grandson run away from Hannaki? What kind of grievance did Grandpa Alatan Khan give to his little grandson? Volume 60 of the Ming Chronicle reads:
The eldest daughter is dumb and does not harm the three ladies, who is very beautiful, and has been hired by The Emperor. If you take it, you will be very embarrassed and will attack you. The answer was incomprehensible, that is, the daughter hired by Nagi was paid. Nagi was furious, and said to Aligo, "My grandmother and grandson, and I have taken away my granddaughter and her people." I can't be a grandson, I can do it. So he and Aligo and his wife, Biji and ten others, went south, knocking on the gate and asking for surrender.
”
Originally, it was simply said that Altan Khan had given his granddaughter to the Mongol nobleman Yuan'er Dusi family, but later repented of this family affair. The Yuan'er Dusi family is not happy, they have all accepted the dowry but they have rebelled, is this not a joke and teasing our Yuan'er Dusi family? So Yuan'er Dusiyang
speech
In order to meet with the Aletan Khan to discuss an explanation, the Aletan Khan knew that he had no choice but to give a girl who had been promised to his grandson to give the birth of a girl from Hanaji to Yuan'er Dusi.
Here, Yuan'er Dusi was calmed down, but the little grandson did not do hanaji. "My grandfather snatched the woman promised to me and sent it to someone else?" It's intolerable! I can't swallow this breath, I'm leaving, I want you to never see me, ahem!
Presumably this is what Hanagi had in mind at the time. So he led his wife Wulan Yuji and her grandmother's husband, who was considered to be an adoptive father, and several of his entourage went directly to the Datong Town Pinglu Wei Defeated Tiger Fort.
In fact, there are also errors in this paragraph, first of all, the beginning of this article corrects the erroneous statement that the Three Ladies are altan Khans. Secondly, it is even more nonsense that Alatan Khan married the third lady who was hired to the granddaughter of Yuan'er Dusi, and Xu was a Han historian who did not understand the custom of nomadic "acceptance of marriage" and decided that this custom was no different from incest.
Khun Khan was not the grandfather of the Third Lady
But it is undoubtedly true that Altan Khan transferred the girl who had married Hanaji to someone else. And the bride to be transferred must be the girl that the little grandson liked hanagi, otherwise why would a child be so angry and love his grandfather in the way of fleeing the enemy?
Ruins of the Defeated Tiger Fort
However, it is said that this little grandson of Aletan came to the Ming Dynasty border in such a huff, and the defender of the Defeated Tiger Fort was not as naïve and impulsive as Han Naji. Knowing that the Mongol Jinguo and his party had come to beg for the Ming Dynasty, the defenders believed that this matter was not trivial, and they could not do it themselves, so they quickly reported the matter to the supreme commander of Datong at that time, Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, and the inspector of Datong.
After Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi clearly understood the causes and consequences of this matter, they believed that the matter was very important, and they could not be the master themselves, and they urgently needed to report to the central government department of the Ming Dynasty.
Since the "Gengzhi Revolution", although the Ming Dynasty reluctantly opened the horse market to the grasslands, Aletan Khan could finally use horses to trade more goods of the Ming Dynasty, but the herders on the grasslands still needed a large number of necessities of life, so Altan Khan suggested expanding the scope of trade so that herders could exchange cattle and sheep for daily necessities.
However, the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was self-conscious, originally had an attitude towards the grasslands as a blind blockade, and opening up the horse market was also a strategy to slow down the army, which was a helpless move. Now Altan Khan has even kicked his nose in the face and asked for an expansion of trade. The more the Jiajing Emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, so he simply closed the horse market and continued to implement the policy of blockade of the grasslands, and the attitude of the Jiajing Emperor was that he would rather use the money of the national treasury to strengthen the Defense Line of the Great Wall than let the grassland people enjoy the dividends of urban civilization.
The closure of Mashi brought the Ming Dynasty and the "Mongol Golden Kingdom" of Aletan Khan back to a state of hostility from a brief "honeymoon period". At this time, the little grandson of Altan Khan came to beg, and in the eyes of Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi, things were very tricky, and if they were not handled properly, it was likely that a war would be inevitable. But from another point of view, it may also be an opportunity for Mingmeng to achieve peace, so the two of them neglected to the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng overnight to clarify this view.
After Zhang Juzheng learned about this matter, he also immediately convened a cabinet meeting, at which Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong, the head of the cabinet, and others discussed and studied this diplomatic matter in depth. It is also believed that this matter is of great importance if it is not properly resolved, and it is afraid that the war with Altan Khan will be ignited again.
At this time, Zhang Ju was Gao Gong's deputy
But at the same time, they also agreed that this might be a turning point, that is, hannaji could be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Altan Khan, and if successful, it might be possible to achieve a long-term stable peace in Mingmeng. Therefore, after the meeting, The Chancellor Zhang Juzheng and the Cabinet Minister Gao Gong and others immediately went to the Shulongqing Emperor, and Emperor Mingmuzong Longqing listened to Zhang Juzheng and others' analysis of the matter and felt that he could use this opportunity to negotiate with Alatan Khan.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was ordered to take full responsibility for this matter. Soon, the edict on the incident was sent to the Defeated Tiger Fort in Datong Town. Here, wang Chonggu and Fang Fengfeng first solemnly greeted Han Naji and his party who had come to beg and sealed an official position to pacify them. After the settlement was in place, he sent envoys to the Mongolian Golden Kingdom to conduct diplomatic mediation with Altan Khan.
