Chapter 494: Garrison Tibet

Wei Guangwei, as the first assistant of the cabinet, has to prepare many things in advance.

You must know that the emperor may ask anything in person, and he has already heard about the affairs outside the customs, so he naturally made sufficient preparations.

Wei Guangwei did not hesitate for a moment, and said directly:

"Back to Your Majesty, the religious lord of the Yellow Sect is called the Panchen, and the minister recently learned that the current fourth Panchen Lobsang Chokyi is handling the temple administration at Ensa Monastery, one of the three major monasteries in Lhasa, and accepting disciples to teach the Dharma."

In fact, since the Ming Dynasty, since the subjugation of Tibet during the Hongwu period, although the imperial court has not garrisoned troops, but after a series of systems, Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, can still directly manage Tibetan affairs.

The lineage of finding the reincarnated spirit child is the beginning of the Yongle Dynasty.

After the surrender of the snow area, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the real management of this area, and repeatedly issued edicts, ordering the Tibetans to lose horses for endowment, to undertake conscription, or to steam black tea, or to pay for rented rice, and also repeatedly emphasized in the holy decree:

"The people are mediocre, and the soil is endowed, which is indispensable."

Nowadays, there is a post road from Beijing to Lhasa in the Ming Dynasty, which was built in the Yongle Dynasty, and if Zhu Youxiao wants to send Tibet to usher in the Panchen, this is the only way.

During the Yongle period, he conquered Mongolia and went to the West, and the finances were very tight.

This post road has to pass through the lofty mountains and mountains, from Beijing to Lhasa, all relying on manpower, the construction period is huge, and there is no short-term benefit.

There were many ministers who opposed it, and some of them angrily denounced it as a kind of ruined behavior.

However, Emperor Yongle was determined to build this road, and he strictly punished some opposing ministers, and used strong means to unify the thoughts of the court and began to build the road.

I don't know the specific ups and downs when building the road, Zhu Youxiao only knows that he is enjoying the benefits brought by the Yongle Emperor back then, and it is extremely convenient to issue orders, send troops, and go to Tibet.

The construction of this road proves Zhu Di's foresight.

Since the Yongle period, this post road from Beijing to the snow area has been the main exchange between the imperial court and the tea and horse markets, and has also greatly strengthened the connection between the snow area and the imperial court.

"Did Elder Ge make preparations in advance, or did Elder Ge have already had a friendship with the Panchen?" Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly looked back at Wei Guangwei and asked with a smile.

This question frightened Wei Guangwei a lot, and he hurriedly said:

"The minister is the first assistant, he knows that he has a heavy responsibility, and he doesn't dare to walk the corpse for a moment!"

"The snow area is the important place of the country, and the Tibetans are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, so is the Hongwu year, and the same should be true of this dynasty, and the ministers are just acting as ministers!"

"I just asked casually, Elder Ge doesn't have to be nervous." Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said:

"The elder of the pavilion thinks that inviting the Panchen to sit in the Naturalization City is a bit arrogant?"

"I also know that since Taizu, the Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama have always been sitting in bed and preaching in the snow area, and now the sudden restructuring is somewhat unreasonable."

Wei Guangwei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "Your Majesty is benevolent, I really have too much to worry about..."

"Hongwu year has the practice of Hongwu year, this dynasty has the rules of this dynasty, and now the Mongolian tribes of the Yellow Religion and the Red Religion have uncertain beliefs, and it is the time for the imperial court to unify the religion and recover the tribes."

"Don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again, Your Majesty should not hesitate any longer."

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, sighed, and said slowly: "Last time, Lin Dan Batur's move to enter the prison was very worried. ”

Wei Guangwei looked puzzled, "Lin Dan Batur has been defeated by Zhang Wanbang, the deputy chief soldier of Shanxi, what is Your Majesty worried about?" ”

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he glanced at him, got up and came to the eaves, looked at the palace and said:

"The troops in the snow area are weak and weak, if Chahar sees that he can't enter the interior of Kou and invades the snow area, the court whip can't reach it, and the people in the snow area will be ruined, isn't it my fault?"

When Wei Guangwei heard this, he was shocked.

Listening to His Majesty's meaning, it seems that he wants to use this mouth to station troops in the snow area, and completely incorporate the snow area into the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

No emperor had ever thought of such a thing before!

This lord also dared to think that since the revocation of Wu Sizang in the year of Jiajing, the imperial court's jurisdiction over the snow area has become weaker and weaker, although it has not yet reached the point of being in name only, but it is almost the same.

Although the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama in the snow area still needs to be finalized by the imperial court before they can be counted, after all, they have been separated from the imperial court for a long time, and they are afraid that they will provoke the opposite effect if they suddenly send troops under the pretext of truth.

If the snow area directly becomes independent, the imperial court is afraid that there will be a big war, which is one thing in Liaodong, and another thing when it arrives in the snow area.

Wei Guangwei swallowed his saliva, this thing came too suddenly, even he didn't have the slightest defense.

Yes, who would have thought that this Emperor of the Apocalypse would actually want to station troops in the snow area and completely control the snow area!

But then again, although this kind of move is risky, now the Ming Dynasty has almost no strong enemies in the northwest except for the Chahar Department.

Later Jin suffered a lot of losses in the Liaodong War, the old slave was seriously ill, and he was fighting for the throne in civil strife, even if he had the intention to invade Liaodong, it was difficult to directly threaten the Jingshi.

In China, the implementation of the new salt law has been put on track, and the coastal people have been properly resettled.

Zhu Youxiao turned his head and looked at the cabinet chief assistant quietly, this was the longest time to think about it since Wei Guangwei entered the cabinet.

I didn't worry too much, Zhu Youxiao has always had a good habit of doing things in this kind of big thing, that is, he will never do things according to his wishful thinking.

The opinions of the chief cabinet and assistants should be listened to, and the opinions of the cabinet and the military aircraft room should be clearly asked.

Wei Zhongxian's thoughts had to be told to him, although it shouldn't be of any use, other people like Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who were great talents in the world, had to ask them to make a break.

Only after reading their thoughts will Zhu Youxiao decide whether to do it or not.

As with the implementation of the new salt law, once decided, it will be a storm, and then there will be only two outcomes for the snow area.

Either they were pacified by sending troops or accepted the official system.

They have no other way to go!

I don't know how long it has been, Wei Guangwei trembled and relieved himself, got up and knelt in the hall with a puff, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty's move is the work of eternity!"

"Since the surrender of the snow area in the Hongwu period, the Ming Dynasty has never garrisoned troops, and now the situation is different, sending envoys to Lhasa to make clear to the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama, and generous gifts, presumably the snow area will not insist on going its own way, and the imperial court is opposed."

Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised, and asked with his eyes:

"Is that really what Elder Ge thinks?"

Wei Guangwei knew that the emperor thought that he was becoming inflammatory, but in fact, he really felt that it was feasible to do so.

"Your Majesty has made it clear that the minister can go to Lhasa in person to promote this work!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and sat back on the dragon chair.

Zhu Youxiao understood that Wei Guangwei was not echoing himself, he really supported this, so it seems that now is really the time?

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao smiled:

"I know what Elder Ge means, but in addition to that, the matter of inviting the Panchen to Naturalization City will also bother Elder Ge a lot."

"The elder said earlier that he would send the missionary minister of the Naturalization City, so let's announce it to the foreign tribes!"
