Although the marriage of Daesung Taeji and Jong Kim Hatun seems to have brought right-wing Mongolia towards complete unity, Gao Shishi is not worried about this, because as long as Butashri exists, this situation will not happen at all.

Dacheng Taiji himself already has a son, although he is young, but as the eldest son, he will definitely have his own power in the future, and it is even very likely that he will be the next Great Khan.

However, Zhongjin Hatun also had sons, and even more than Butashiri, she and Alta had three sons, the eldest son Butashri was the seventh among the sons of Alta, the second son Sha Chixing was eighth, and the youngest son Yi'er was the nineth.

These three people are all the sons of Alta, Butashri is divided into the subordinates, Sha Chixing and Yi'er Jiangxun are still young, and they haven't been given anything, so won't Zhongjin Hatun think about it?

But even if Butashri is satisfied with Xinai's subordinates, Dacheng Taiji can leave him alone after becoming the Great Khan, what about Sha Chixing and Yi'er Jiangxun? The two of them are not the sons of Dacheng Taiji, and Dacheng Taiji is also worried that the combined strength of the three brothers will surpass him, and he will not be willing to give them subordinates, so how can the combination of him and Zhongjin Hatun really not distinguish each other?

Therefore, this contradiction, at least for the time being, is impossible to resolve, and Gao Pragmatism can be completely assured.

Of course, there is a possibility of the worst possible outcome, that is, when Daesung Taiji and Zhong Jin Hatun give birth to a son, and both of them can let go of their selfish thoughts and designate this son as the next heir to the king of Shunyi, after that child grows up, it may be able to unite the entire Tumut tribe.

But even if they were really so smooth, really so selfless...... That will have to wait until more than 20 years later.

For more than 20 years, I still can't master Tumut?

So this matter, calculated so far, can already turn the page.

After solving this big problem, Gao pragmatic began to examine the strength of right-wing Mongolia again.

The third point mentioned by Cao Gan alerted Gao Pragmatism, although it was a tacit matter for Gao Pragmatism to sit back and watch Altan Khan introduce the Yellow Lama into Mongolia, because the introduction of Lamaism was actually a typical self-defeating martial arts move for Mongolia, Gao Pragmatism was happy to see this at that time, and he even quietly promoted it - for example, he instilled some ideas of death in Hannaji back then.

But now, it seems worth a fresh look.

First of all, it is necessary to explain a question that few people in later generations have understood: it is known that Altan Khan introduced the Yellow Sect to replace shamanism, but why did he do it? Is it just because shamanism likes to make blood sacrifices and slaughter livestock?

That would be too much to underestimate Altan Khan, who began to suppress shamans during his heyday, and it could not be because of this loss of financial and material resources.

In fact, the root of this problem lies with Alta's grandfather, Dayan Khan. Dayan Khan was the head of the Mongol dynasty, and after his accession to the throne, Mongol society was relatively stable.

Dayan Khan redivided the left and right flanks into 60,000 households, and appointed his third son, Balsborot, to command 30,000 households on the right wing, and he stationed himself in Chahar 10,000 households to control the 30,000 households on the left flank.

In order to maintain his rule, Dayan Khan not only made important adjustments and arrangements in the political and military aspects, but also made corresponding reforms in the religious aspects.

Dayan Khan closely linked the shamanic "Mandate of Heaven" to Genghis Khan's Golden Family, and used religious theories to clarify the legitimacy of the Golden Family. Thus, theoretically, the ancient shamanic "Mandate of Heaven thought" was applied to the feudal hereditary system, and used as an ideological weapon to ensure the permanent inheritance of the golden family.

Dayan Khan died, and his eldest grandson, Bodi Arak Khan, ascended the throne. Since then, a system has been formed in which the eldest descendants of Dayan Khan, a descendant of Genghis Khan's golden family, inherit the power of the Khan. The shamanic "Mandate of Heaven Thought" became the ideological weapon inherited by the elders, and the residence of the Mongol Great Khan, Chahar Wanhu, also became the political, economic and cultural center of Mongolia and became a symbol of Mongolian orthodoxy.

But by the middle of the Jiajing period, Altan Khan of Tumut had become the de facto leader of the 30,000 households on the right wing. As Altan Khan's wings grew fuller, he was eager to compete for the throne of the Great Khan. To this end, he expanded his land in Qinghai and Hexi, traded with the Ming Dynasty, vigorously developed agriculture and handicrafts, and laid a solid material foundation for the struggle for Khan power.

However, Altan Khan was well aware that the orthodoxy that was deeply ingrained among the Mongol people was a huge ideological obstacle that lay in front of him. According to tradition, Altan Khan could only serve as a "feudal screen", but according to reality, Altan Khan was the de facto leader of the 30,000 right-wing households, and he still remembered the lesson of his father's violation of the tyrant and was finally forced to hand over the power of Khan.

This is a contradiction between tradition and reality, and we urgently need a new way to solve it.

At this time, the shamanic "natural khanate" was contrary to his political goals, and Taoism, which had been introduced from the agrarian society of the Central Plains, could not take root in Mongolia.

In the fifth year of Longqing, the meeting between the Gelug monk Axing Lama, known as the "Eqig Lama", and Altan Khan was the prelude to the second introduction of Tibetan Buddhism to Mongolia.

In this historic meeting, Lama Axing invoked history and deliberately compared Altan Khan to the incarnation of Kublai Khan. Lama Axing explained in detail the specific meaning of the "Three Jewels, Six Paths, and Eight Precepts" of Buddhism, and gave a concise introduction to the Buddhist classics Kangyur and Tengyur.

But that was not the point, the point was that he advised Altan Khan to get in direct contact with the Gelugpa religious leader Sonam Gyatso, and Altan Khan gladly accepted and made the decision to immediately send someone to Tibet to welcome Sonam Gyatso. In fact, the Gelug sect was in a terrible situation at that time, and they needed the help of an authoritative ruler.

Needless to say, in the end, Sonam Gyatso officially announced: Altan Khan and him are the incarnations of Kublai Khan and Paspa respectively.

What does this mean? It means that the leaders of the Gelug sect are determined to rely on Mongolia and revitalize the Yellow Religion, and the intentions of the two sides coincide.

When it came to the official meeting, the Mongolian and Tibetan monks and lay rulers shook hands and exchanged honorific titles. The Living Buddha of Sonam Gyatso honored Altan Khan as "Zhuan Qianjin Wheel of the Golden Wheel of Kharavaldi Chechen Khan", which is the same title as Kublai Khan.

Altan Khan revered the Living Buddha Sonam Gyatso as "the Divine Consciousness of All Wazirda Lamas". This is the origin of the highest title of the monks of the Yellow Sect, which combines Mongolia and Tibet, as "Da Lama".

The Living Buddha of Sonam Gyatso posthumously called the two worlds and called himself the third lama. Corresponding to the shamanic "Mandate of Heaven Thought" and "Heavenly Khan Power", the Living Buddha Sonam Gyatso announced the Buddhist "reincarnation theory" and "the Buddha's grant of the wheel of kingship" to Altan Khan.

In other words, Altan Khan is the reincarnation of the wheel kings Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, and his reincarnation is the will of the Buddha.

As a result, the Living Buddha of Sonam Gyatso used religious forms to rationalize and legitimize the succession of Altan Khan's non-chief to the throne.

Altan Khan, on the other hand, followed Kublai Khan's example and implemented the policy of parallel government and religion, and promulgated the law "Ten Virtues and Blessings Law" to promote the Yellow Religion, which established the dominance of the Yellow Religion from a legal point of view.

The Yellow Sect associated Altan Khan with Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, which not only maintained the Mongolian people's admiration for Genghis Khan, but also eliminated the traditional concepts of "natural khan power" and "inheritance of the elder", and paved the way for Altan Khan to compete for khan power with a complete religious theory.

Altan Khan, on the other hand, stipulated that the corresponding upper class monks of the Yellow Sect enjoyed the same political and economic treatment as the Mongol nobles according to the Mongolian feudal hierarchy, and were exempt from taxation.

From then on, it became the duty of every Mongolian to respect the Yellow Sect and the lamas.

Therefore, the Yellow Sect was able to be introduced by Altan Khan, just as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism in the past, which was the need of the ruler.

However, the trouble is that although Alta stabilized his position and made the right-wing Mongolia more and more independent from the "Great Yuan", he still could not completely break away from the Mongol and Yuan courts, and still had to send his eldest grandson Pullik to the side of the left-wing Mongolian Tumen Khan to take up important positions.

At the same time, what made Cao Gan feel that he had to report to Gao Pragmatic was the rapid development of the Yellow Sect in right-wing Mongolia.

According to him, after the Yellow Religion was introduced to right-wing Mongolia, it rejected, attacked, transformed, and integrated the traditional Mongolian religion of shamanism. For example, at last year's Chabchar Conference, Altan Khan stipulated that shamanism was forbidden to kill and sacrifice, and that shamanic rituals such as chanting, worshiping Buddha, and burning incense were replaced by rituals such as chanting, worshipping Buddha, and burning incense from the Yellow Sect. Burn all the statues of Wenggon, replace Weng Gon with the main image of the wisdom of the Yellow Sect, and only offer three whites when offering to the Buddha, and prohibit flesh and blood offerings.

In the process of preaching, the monks of the Yellow Sect often appeared as healers, advocated asceticism, approached the lower-class herdsmen, observed the Mongolian customs and customs, and grasped the most extensive thoughts and thoughts of the people. In response to the psychological demands of the lower class herdsmen, they put forward the slogan: "Turn the river of blood into a pure sea of milk" - in addition to persuading the Mongols not to kill at will, there was an additional benefit to the Ming Dynasty, that is, they also persuaded some restless Mongolian nobles to stop provoking the Ming.

This is also appreciated, and the Yellow Sect has other benefits, such as the Yellow Sect preaches compassion and does not kill, and abolishes the bad habit of slaughtering a large number of livestock for the dead in the shamanic sacrifice ceremony, so now the price of beef and mutton on the border of the Ming Dynasty continues to fall, Cao Gan said, the price of beef and mutton in Beijing has been cheaper than pork by 30%.

However, Cao Gan also told him that many Mongols now felt that fighting a war was a very evil thing, and that they should be as merciful as the Buddha cut meat and fed it to an eagle.

At the same time, under the personal demonstration of Altan Khan, the construction of the Huangjiao monastery is rapid, and the number of lamas is also increasing. Will we still be able to do business in Mongolia after Jinghua?

Well, it's not surprising that Cao Gan has the limitations of his gaze.

Gao was more worried than Cao Gan - the precept that the lama did not marry a wife would definitely lead to the stunted development of the Mongolian population, no, it should be decreasing year by year, resulting in the continuous weakening of the Mongols' military power and the decreasing number of producers.

It doesn't matter if the Mongols are a little smaller, and after the Ming Dynasty completes the transformation of the gunpowder empire, there is no need to worry about any nomadic encroachment.

However, if you are doing this now, how can I use the Mongol cavalry to fight against the Houjin who may be on the rise? How can you use the Mongol musketeers conceived in the future to fight the Russian Cossacks?

At that time, even if the Ming Dynasty has become a gunpowder empire, it can't send hundreds of thousands of infantry to hide and hide with the Cossacks on the steppe, right?

So, it's not impossible for you to abolish your martial arts, but you can't just break all your limbs!

Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but sigh: I'm really a hard-working person, I'm so busy with my own affairs that I'm bald, and I have to help other people's families think about it......
