Chapter 151: The Covenant War

Where Lhasa is located.

It's a river valley.

There was a big river in the middle, which was later called the Lhasa River, but now it is only called Jiqu. It is also because of the existence of this river that this is an open river valley area, and it is also one of the few grain-producing areas in the whole of Tibet.

At this moment, Fan Guang had already taken eight thousand cavalry here to rest temporarily.

It is impossible to hide such a situation from Kuntu.

Although most of Tibet is vast and sparsely populated, there is still some population in the vicinity of Lhasa.

This is the center of Kuntu's rule, and Kuntu's rule here will never be able to respond to this.

And Fan Guang didn't do a little covering, but sent someone to give a war letter to Kuntu.

He Yong was a little worried about this, and asked: "General, we only have two or three days' food, once Kuntu should not fight, but defend the Jokhang Temple, we will not be able to hold on for a long time." ”

Fan Guang said: "No, Kuntu is about to prove to Quanzang that he can become this guardian king. How can it be closed without a fight. ”

Of course He Yong knows this.

It's just that he is still uneasy in his heart.

Although he was born in Mongolia and was after the Tatar Taishi Arutai, when he was young, he followed his father to seek refuge in the Ming Dynasty. has today's high position, more because of his status, he can suppress the Mongols.

I haven't really fought any battles myself.

So before the Great War.

Naturally, cranky and unsettled.

But Fan Guang has experienced large and small wars, and he doesn't dare to say that life and death are downbeat, but even now, he is still calm, talking and laughing, and condolences to the soldiers below one by one.

Everywhere they went, everyone became calm and calm.

Just when the Ming army was not far from the Jokhang Temple, waiting for Kuntu's reaction.

Now in the Jokhang Temple, the atmosphere of the originally lively conference has become cold.

Originally, Kuntu did this very solemnly. It took a lot of energy and material resources to invite the golden Buddha statues one after another.

This Jokhang Temple, which was left from the heyday of Tibet, is even more ancient and holy.

The whole Tibetan area has famous and famous monks, and they all came. All with their servants. It also makes the interior of the Jokhang Temple more lively and prosperous.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Kuntu was ready to ascend to the throne of the Protector of the Teachings, surrounded by monks, and from then on to take charge of the secular power in Tibet. A new compromise was reached with the major schools of Tibetan Buddhism.

In this way, the rule of the Heshute tribe in Tibet can be regarded as stable.

But he didn't want to, but a monk suddenly said, "Your Holiness, please wait." ”

At this moment, when Quintu heard this, he only felt angry and couldn't control himself. In the large

In the main hall of Zhao Temple, surrounded by groups of golden Buddha statues, under the gaze of the portrait of the Buddha on the sky. Under the watchful eyes of the various masters of Tibetan Buddhism, and even the Dharma kings who were once named the Great Treasure Dharma King, the Explanation King, and the Auxiliary Teaching King by the Ming Dynasty.

A little monk actually dared to attack him, and he really thought that Kuntuti couldn't kill anyone without using a knife.

You know, before this conference, how much Kuntu did behind his back, and how much he consulted with the kings of various factions.

In the end, it was natural that everyone unanimously supported him as the Dharma King.

No matter what the reason, saying this at this moment is to smash the field.

This monk who came to serve as the envoy was none other than the Gelug sect's Jinyi Wei Baihu, whose Tibetan name was very ordinary, called Dorjee. Translated into Chinese, it is King Kong.

Kuntu could also tell from his clothes that the person who came was from the Gelug sect, and said with a sneer: "Does what the master said represent the Gelug sect?" ”

The fact that the Gelug sect did not come to this conference has already made him feel very bad, and when this matter is over, he will deal with me

He really had a trace of Vajra at this moment, and he said indifferently: "His Holiness, I don't represent the Gelug sect. It was just by chance that he was ordered to write a letter. ”

Quintu said, "By whom's order." ”

Dorjee said: "Feng Daming Guangningbo, Zhengxi General Fan Zhiguang. ”

As soon as these words came out, Quintu suddenly frowned.

Regarding the Ming Dynasty's westward expedition, Kuntu has heard the rumors, but he has not received the news for a while, after all, Kuntu's main energy is on this conference.

And Dorjee is one step ahead of the army, and it has been more than a day here. He understands his mission very well. It wasn't that he didn't have time to deliver the letter, but he didn't have time to force Quintu to the point where he had to fight.

No, Fan Guang didn't want to capture the Jokhang Temple, there were really two difficulties.

The first difficulty is that the Jokhang Temple is a holy place in the whole of Tibet, but it is very easy to be destroyed in the war. But in this way, the people of Tibet will definitely hate the Ming to the bone.

The second difficulty is that almost all the eminent monks in Tibet are here, and once these eminent monks should be killed, the Ming Dynasty will not want to rule Tibet.

This is the current situation in Tibet.

No matter who occupies Tibet, it will not be able to change the status quo, that is, the strength and influence of Tibetan Buddhism.

As soon as Dorjee's words came out, there was a slight commotion among the monks next to him.

After all, Fan Guang has been in Xining for a while.

The so-called people who want Tibetan merchants to really be able to trade have no power behind them, and they naturally know Fan Guang's reputation.

Dorjee took out the letter in his hand, did not hand it to Kuntu, but opened it directly, and said loudly: "Yuan descendant is only a catty, Kuntu, you don't think about the hatred of the family, and take refuge in the tile spur, it is for unfilial piety, marching thousands of miles to take over people's inheritance, and it is for injustice,-

------”

Immediately two great men went up, pressed him to the ground, and snatched the letter.

Even if Dorjee was pressed to the ground, his face was stiffly pasted into a cake by the ground, he still shouted: "I mention that there are 8,000 soldiers tomorrow, and I will hunt on the bank of Jiqu with you, and Sijun may not be ------."

One of the big men kicked Dorjee's mouth with his boot, and the kick didn't seem to be enough, kicking one after another, only kicking all the teeth in Dorjee's mouth, and the flesh and blood were blurred, so that Dorjee could no longer speak.

Kuntu looked at the letter in his hand, it was a war letter, not many words, but more than 100 words, the content of which was nothing more than a list of Kuntu's various crimes, and then make an appointment to fight.

Truth be told, this shallow agitation. Quintu could see it at a glance.

But what if you can see it?

Quintu swept his gaze and knew it. If this battle is not fought, it will not work.

The Ming army had shallow roots in Tibet, but it was also Kuntu that had shallow roots in Tibet. It can be said that although the local forces in Tibet seem to be scattered.

But they are the ones who can really decide where Tibet belongs.

Not to mention anything else, whether it is the Ming army or the soldiers under the command of the Heshuo Special Department, a considerable number of people are plagued by qi disease, that is, altitude sickness.

But the Tibetan natives do not have this kind of trouble at all.

As long as the Ming army enveloped some people, gained a firm foothold in Tibet, and encircled some Tibetans. Quintu knew that his defeat was expected.

The reason is very simple, the strength of the Ming Dynasty does not lie in the strength of the Ming army, but in the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. This is just the appearance. The most powerful thing about the Ming Dynasty is the strength of the country.

If the Ming wanted to, they would have been able to form an army composed entirely of Tibetans and fight against the Heshute tribe in Tibet for decades.

But is it okay with the Heshuot Ministry?

Of course not.

Today, the Heshuo Department is a group of homeless children. Their pastures have been taken over by the Tile Spurs, and of course the Tile Spurs have not paid a price.

But the supplies given by the tile spurs were almost consumed on the road.

This is also the reason why Kuntu is in such a hurry to stabilize Tibet.

Only by stabilizing the Tibetan land and getting a steady stream of supplies can the Heshute Department survive.

Therefore, the person who hopes for a quick solution is not only Fan Guang. And Quint. This letter may seem like the crux of the matter, but it is really just an introduction.

It's just a primer that detonates everything.

Kuntu retracted his gaze, landed on Dorjee, walked over slowly, pulled out his waist knife suddenly, slashed at Dorjee's neck, and said, "If you want to die, give it to them." ”

Dorjee's heart flashed with his wife and children, whom he had not seen for many years, and before he could see it clearly, he fell into darkness.
