In August of the fifth year of Tianwu, the fifth Dalai Lama of Tibet, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, arrived in Nanjing.

At about the same time, the leader of the Dzungar Khanate, Batur Huntaiji, and the leaders of the Oirat Mongols (Moxi Mongols) also arrived in Nanjing at the invitation of the Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong.

The Dalai Lama is one of the two major religious leaders in the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism (Yellow Sect), alongside the Panchen Lama, the Dalai Lama means "sea" in Mongolian, and Lama means "Venerable Master" in Tibetan.

After the death of the 4th Dalai Lama, the 5th Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, under the auspices of the 4th Panchen Lama, was recognized as a reincarnated spirit child and welcomed into Drepung Monastery to begin studying Buddhist scriptures.

On the third day of August, the 5th Dalai Lama, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, entered the Hajj.

Unexpectedly, the location was not in the Fengtian Palace, but in the royal courtyard of Xuanwu Lake, which was the place decided by Zhu Cihong and the ministers after consultation.

As one of the four living Buddhas, the Dalai Lama has great influence in Moxi.

A few years ago, the 5th Dalai Lama and the 4th Panchen Lobsang Cho conspired to send people to Xinjiang to secretly summon the Mongol Gushi Khan to lead his troops into Tibet, overthrow the rule of the White Sect and the Tsangpa Khan, and establish the Yellow Religion in Tibet.

The title of Huntaiji of Batur, the leader of the Dzungar Khanate, was given by the Fifth Dalai Lama, who advocated that the sect should fight for the establishment of households, and made important contributions to the stability of Moxi Mongolia.

Zhu Cihong's move was also to avoid complicated and cumbersome etiquette and unnecessary troubles caused by the first meeting in the palace, and it was more courtesy to win over the religious leader.

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso is now Chinese New Year's Eve three years old, and he looks quite dignified, and at first glance he is a person of profound Dharma.

During the meeting, Zhu Cihong held his hand, said a few polite words gently, and then held a grand welcome banquet in the courtyard.

Zhu Cihong sat down on a waist-high throne, and Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso sat down on a seat slightly lower than the throne a foot away next to the throne as a courtesy.

When giving tea, Zhu Cihong smiled and motioned for the living Buddha to use it first.

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso hurriedly said, "Don't dare to make a mistake. ”

So the two drank together, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso deeply felt that the Ming Emperor was courteous, and he did not run this trip in vain.

After the banquet, the Ming and the officials of the Hoshut Khanate officially got down to business and negotiated on the issue of the Hoshut Khanate.

The Ming Dynasty advocated the establishment of a general stationed in Tibet in Lhasa, Tibet, to handle Tibetan affairs.

On behalf of the Ming court, the generals stationed in Tibet jointly administer Tibet with the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama, and Gushi Khan, including the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama, and have the power to supervise and appoint authority.

Officials of the Hoshut Khanate also conveyed several demands of Gushi Khan, such as the succession system of the Khanate, autonomy, etc.

If the Ming could accept it, the Heshut Khanate could consider accepting the rule of the Ming dynasty.

The battle of the Ming army to destroy the Yarkand Khanate was too strong, and Gushi Khan of the Heshute Khanate considered himself to be a little worse than Abdullah Khan, and had no intention of fighting the Ming Dynasty by force.

As long as Da Ming does not play the trick of demoting the lord, the permanent inheritance of the Khan throne can be guaranteed, and other conveniences are easy to say, and the garrison is not impossible.

After all, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty is there, and it is safer to have them stationed in Tibet.

The war with the Khanate was still ongoing, and negotiations between the officials of the Honglu Monastery and the envoys of the Dzungar Khanate began.

The Dzungar Khanate and the Heshut Khanate were both Oirat Mongols, and they both had the same beliefs, including some Mongol leaders who came, and they were all in an allied circle.

Before they came to Daming, they also discussed it in private, they wanted to vote together, and they wanted to oppose together, just to see what conditions Daming gave.

The fact that Batur Huntaiji, the leader of the Jungar Khanate, was able to come to Daming in person is enough to show that he attaches great importance to this matter, and he also came with conditions.

Batur played a concert and asked the Ming Dynasty to give the fertile land of the Ili River Valley to the Dzungar Ministry.

The Ili River Valley is known as the "Saiwai Jiangnan", with superior natural conditions, 300 million acres of natural grassland, and significant advantages in the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Moreover, it was previously in the hands of the Dzungar Ministry and was taken away by the Yarkand Khanate, and Batur has always been thinking about this fertile land.

For this request, Zhu Cihong thought about it for a few days and was very reluctant.

However, in order to be able to include the Dzungar Khanate in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he finally agreed.

Anyway, this land is still the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jungar Department is not strong now, if they want to continue to fight against Tsarist Russia, consume the Kazakh Khanate, and guard the northwest territory for the Ming Dynasty, this bit of meat still has to be fed.

Zhu Cihong knew that in history, the Jungar Department was really strong and powerful until the Galdan period, and it was hanging the periphery.

Galdan destroyed the Yarkand Khanate, conquered Tibet in the south, abused the Kazakh Khanate in the west, attacked Tsarist Russia in the north, and marched east to fight the Khalkha tribes in the north to move south, and then competed with the Manchu Qing Dynasty for supremacy, until it reached Ulan Butong, which is 700 miles away from Beijing, near the Mulan enclosure of the Manchu royal hunting garden.

At its peak, the Zungar Khanate had a land area of 7 million square kilometers, fought a war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty for 70 years, and went through the Kang, Yong, and Qian dynasties, and was finally wiped out.

Now that Galdan is only a few years old, Zhu Cihong is not worried at all, when he takes the throne in twenty years, I can suppress it with one hand!

After several days of continuous negotiations, the officials of Honglu Temple repeatedly asked Zhu Cihong for instructions, and the matter was finally finalized.

The conditions of the Ming Dynasty did not disappoint the Mongol tribes of Oirat.

First of all, Emperor Zhu Cihong of Tianwu officially canonized the Fifth Dalai Lama, Lobsang Gyatso, as "the Dalai Lama of the Western Heaven and the Great Benevolence and Freedom of the Buddha who leads the world to expound the teachings of the ordinary Wachi Lama," and the Fourth Panchen Lama as "Panchen Erdeni," recognizing the political and religious status of the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama in Tibet.

For the Gushi Khan of the Heshute Khanate, Zhu Cihong named him the King of Khan, which is equivalent to the title of Prince of the Ming Dynasty, and is hereditary.

Originally, Zhu Cihong was going to cancel the title of Khan and give him the title of prince, but he thought that the title of Daming had just been renovated and the hereditary replacement had been abolished, but the rules could not be broken, so he had to let them be hereditary in the situation of "Khan".

However, only one person can inherit the throne of the Khan, the descendants and brothers and sisters of the Khan, regardless of the distribution, and there is no title.

It didn't take a single soldier, and it all relied on the iron mouth of the officials of Honglu Temple to negotiate more than one million square kilometers of land, which is too cost-effective!

In the Dzungar Khanate and other Moxi Mongol tribes, the Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of Mongolian governance and Tibetan governance of Tibet, and divided them into regions.

The leaders of each department will meet once every three years, and the leaders of each department will take turns to serve as the leader of the alliance, and they will be under the management of the Western Capital Protectorate.

Moreover, the alliance leader only had the right to supervise the Mongol ministries, could not interfere in the affairs of the ministries, and did not have the right to issue government decrees privately, and the ministries still enjoyed a great deal of autonomy within themselves, similar to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's alliance flag system.

In governing Tibet and Xinjiang, Zhu Cihong adopted the frontier policy of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and it has to be said that the Tatar Qing Dynasty had a set of rules for managing the frontier, which is worthy of praise.

On the economic front, the Ming increased their trade ports, fully traded with the Mongolian and Tibetan ethnic groups, and allowed them to trade freely with other provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

This policy is more practical than anything else.
