Khalkha was one of the 30,000 left-wing households enfeoffed after Dayan Khan unified eastern Mongolia.
Ten thousand households in Khalkha are divided into twelve tribes.
To the east of the Khalkha River are the five inner tribes, which are granted the title of Dayan Khan's fifth son Arthuborot.
To the west of the Khalkha River are the seven outer tribes, who are granted the title of Dayan Khan.
The youngest son of the Khan was Ge Qi Sen Zha Zha Lai Er Hui.
Over the past 100 years, the territory of Khalkha Mongolia has gradually expanded, bordering Hulunbuir in the east, Khovd in the west, the desert in the south, and Buryat Mongolia in the north.
It is now ruled by three khans, Tushetu Khan, Zasaktu Khan and Chechen Khan.
Along the way, Bai Jiansen kept taking out maps to compare with the actual situation, and then marked unrecorded rivers and roads on the map.
Overall, the staff map is accurate, it's just that the Mongols were nomadic, so there would be some changes to the settlements.
The three Waikalkha Khans had long known about the fact that Lin Dan Khan was defeated by the Ming army, so they were also very enthusiastic about the Ming Dynasty's envoy.
Although Monan and Mobei are separated by the Huanhai Desert, the desert is only three thousand miles from east to west, and less than two thousand miles from north to south.
It is actually not difficult for Ming Dynasty to deal with Mobei Mongolia.
In the Ming Dynasty, Tushetu Khan was named King of Yuanyi, Zhasaktu Khan was named King of Yuan'an, and Chechen Khan was named King of Yuanjing.
The three Khans all accepted the title granted by the Ming Dynasty, and all said that they would send their nephews to Beijing to meet the Ming Emperor and offer their tributes.
Chen Qiyu was naturally very satisfied.
The Ming Dynasty had to consolidate the Hetao area first, and for the time being there was not enough logistics to support a sustained expedition to Mobei.
The hit-and-run style actually doesn't have much effect.
Therefore, Mobei Khalkha's willingness to have good relations with Ming Dynasty is actually more in line with Ming Dynasty's interests at this stage.
And when the Ming Dynasty completely defeated Lin Dan Khan and built the railway near the desert, Transkarkha was no longer an option.
It's good to be obedient, but disobedience just gave Ming an excuse to go to war.
This is the Ming Dynasty’s northern policy in the past ten years.
Chen Qiyu said to the three Khans: "My Majesty the Ming Emperor is very concerned about the welfare of the Mobei Mongolian brothers and wants to conduct various trades with Mobei Mongolia.
However, the road is far away, so I want to build a railway to connect the two places.
I don't know what the three Khans What does Wang think?"
Tushetu Khan was the most populous of the three Khans.
He asked: "What is a railway?"
Chen Qiyu showed the drawings of the railway to the three kings and explained the function of the railway in detail.
The three Khan kings looked troubled and said: "The things are good things, but the railway needs to be built.
Will it cost too much?"
Chen Qiyu smiled and said: "Three Khans, please rest assured.
The money and manpower required for the construction of the railway are all taken by the Ming Dynasty.
I just want to ask the three Khans to send people to tell the herdsmen that humans and animals cannot be on the railway when the railway is running to avoid casualties."
Condition."
After hearing about such a good thing, the three Khan kings felt relieved.
You don’t need to pay for it yourself, and you don’t need to pay for it yourself.
A railway only takes up a small amount of space.
After the railway is completed, it will certainly be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, but it will also be beneficial to Mobei Mongolia.
Chen Qiyu took out two pieces of paper and said: "This is the agreement between Inner Kalkha and Mongolia to participate in the construction of the Beijing-North Railway.
The foreign minister will read it to the three kings first, and then the king can ask those who are proficient in Chinese to read it.
The Chinese meaning, please also look carefully at the attached Mongolian text.”
The agreement was written in Chinese and Mongolian, and the two texts had the same meaning.
After he read it, the three Khans took it over and looked at it carefully.
They found that the agreement only stipulated that Mongolia in Inner Kalkha had the obligation to maintain safety along the railway.
Others, such as Daming was responsible for the survey and construction.
Of course you have to sign for such a good thing.

So the three Khan kings signed two pieces of paper, one was handed over to Chen Qiyu, and the other was kept by Tu Xie Tu Khan.
After finishing the official business, Chen Qiyu said to King Sanhan: "We heard that this place is not far from Xiaohai.
Xiaohai was called Beihai in the Han Dynasty.
There was a great Han who herded sheep here.
So we want to go there and have a look.
I don't know if it is possible."
Tuxie Tuhan smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem.
Let the envoy rest for now.
There will be a program to welcome the envoy in the evening.
Tomorrow we will have someone take the envoy there.
When you come back, you can take your nephews to Beijing to meet the Ming Dynasty. emperor."
In the evening, Tuxietu Khan welcomed the Ming envoys with a grand bonfire party.
After the people in the envoy returned to their tents with plenty of food and wine, Tuxietu Khan asked a Mongolian woman to accompany them, but Chen Qiyu refused and pulled Tulu smiled and pulled the two women into his residence.
Bai Jiansen smiled and said: "You are indeed a barbarian, you actually let your concubine do such a thing."
Chen Qiyu said: "Actually, this is very normal.
Life on the grassland is inherently difficult, and wars are frequent, so there are few men and many women in Mongolia.
And if women do not give birth to male offspring, it will be difficult for them to live on the grassland.
Survive.
In this way, this custom is often used.
Firstly, it is to entertain guests to show selflessness.
Secondly, it is also good if they can give birth to a child.
They have no concept of chastity and are not ashamed, so they cannot use it.
Let’s look at some of their behaviors.”
Bai Jiansen said: "Secretary Minister, the maps of the General Staff have generally been correct all along the way.
But when I came to Xianguan, there were more Han merchants coming here.
By referring to the maps drawn by everyone, it was easy to find a relatively correct map.
But the Han merchants should seldom travel this way.
From tomorrow onwards, the official will take a few followers to carefully inspect the terrain, and the minister will provide cover. " Chen Qiyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the people who will lead the way tomorrow will try to bribe us with money first.
They won't be able to guard against us.
Just bring a few people with you and say you want to see the scenery nearby."
The next day Laturu said goodbye to the envoy and returned to Inner Khalkha.
Chen Qiyu and his party were escorted north by a captain and more than a hundred people.
After Chen Qiyu gave a small glass mirror to the commander, the commander wanted to make the people in the group respect him as living Buddhas.
Bai Jiansen could do whatever he wanted, and even sent people to take Bai Jiansen and others around everywhere.
Anyway, there is no rush.
Didn’t King Khan say that he would accompany the Ming envoy to see around, so let’s just treat it as a fun trip.
This journey of nearly a thousand miles took a total of fifteen days.
Bai Jiansen is very satisfied with what he has gained along the way.
After returning this time, the eastern route from Daming to Beihai has been fully explored.
As long as you choose the western route when you return, you will have maps on both sides when the two routes send troops.
The people who control Xiaohai now are the Buriyati people, who belong to the Mongolian people of the desert, that is, the Oara people.
The Outer Khalkha people were no longer willing to go deep, and Chen Qiyu was not reluctant.
Now that we have found the route, we can definitely call back and have a good look at it later
