Chapter Ninety-Eight: Tibet
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Tibet
It is true that today's tile spurs are only half of those of the tile spurs in their heyday, and they are even insufficient.
The troops, people, and financial resources of the tile spurs are far from the time when they came first.
But at least Timur stabilized his position, launched a westward expedition, and once again established his prestige and confidence.
The panic and anxiety that I had just retreated to the Western Regions was gone.
In all these ways, it was as if he was using almost a distribution method to send Boyan Timur to Beijing for a year, eliminating his biggest potential opponent. As for those generals who did not obey Azi Timur, Azi Timur never relented.
Internally, both soft and hard, externally, it is a big victory in Zhengchagatai, and the peace is also strong. Remote control Hami, this is what makes today's tile spurs.
Such a person is not a stupid white sweet.
He couldn't have watched the threat of the Bush and the Shut Tribe.
Azi Timur was indifferent.
This can only show that Azi Timur has a great plot.
Quintu couldn't guess the answer to the riddle. So he can only keep worrying.
Azi Timur seemed to see Kuntu's thoughts, and finally one day, Azi Timur left Kuntu behind, and the two of them were alone in the main hall, and only Boyan Timur was with him.
It can be said that it is the core leadership of the Tile Spurs.
"I often wonder if my father had worked together without sweating a lot of sweat, would this have happened? β
Azi Timur shook his head and said: "Da Ming is too strong, maybe he will still be defeated, but he will never be defeated so badly." So embarrassed to return to the Western Regions. β
Speaking of this, Azi Timur's eyes were blazing, he looked at Kuntu and said, "There are many people who say that the Heshute Department is too powerful. It's not the blessing of the thorn, they are all people with ulterior motives, in my opinion, the strength of the Heshute Department is the strength of my thorn. How can I do things that make relatives hurt and enemies happy because of the words of the wicked villain, when my father was dying, let me do what he said and did, and when he was dying, he also regretted that he was too harsh on his son. β
"Today, I, Azi Timur, swear to the heavens, that from now on, the Watts and the Heshute tribe will be like brothers, and they will never invade each other, and those who violate them will be disgusted by heaven, and they will be disgusted by heaven."
When Kuntu heard this, he immediately said: "I, Kuntu, also swear to the heavens on behalf of the Heshuo Special Department, and will always obey the Great Khan of Wathorn. β
To be honest, Kuntu may not have believed what Azi Timur said.
It is true that the Mongols believed in the oath, but Kuntu and Aztimur were both leaders of the same tribe, so how could they be so naΓ―ve.
Genghis Khan and Zamuhe were still Anda, and in the end they were not killed, and the only treatment was nothing more than the so-called bloodless death.
What's the use?
Naturally Timur also knew this, and he changed his voice and said: "In the past few years, I have sent envoys to Beijing every year to meet with me, but Beijing has refused to accept them, and now I can't even pass the Jiayu Pass. β
"In the past few years, Shi Heng has been in Mobei, and Yu Qian has been accumulating grain in Gansu, which shows that the Southern Dynasty will not die to destroy us."
"Now that the Southern Dynasty has desert south and desert north, the number of horses, I'm afraid it's still above us, once the Southern Dynasty marches westward, how to resist?"
When Azi Timur said this, he sighed slightly.
The faces of Boyan Timur and Kuntu both changed color slightly.
The ordinary people below are celebrating the recovery of the strength of the tile spur in the past few years, and life is thriving, but the really knowledgeable people understand that from the perspective of Daming's political attitude.
The westward expansion of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable, and the only uncertainty is time.
Kuntu was also a little relieved in his heart, and said secretly: "I see. "If it is because of external pressure that Azi Timur has to keep internal peace, then make some concessions.
Quintu can figure it out.
It's just that he can't help but think that Azi Timur is too simple.
Az Timur suddenly asked, "Are there many people in the Heshute tribe who believe in Lamaism?" β
Kuntu was slightly stunned and said, "Not a lot." β
The spread of Tibetan Buddhism among Mongolia also had a question of priority. Kuntu's Heshute Department is from Adai Khan, that is, the Yuan Dynasty's orthodox lineage.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the number of people who believed in the national teacher of Ba Si Pa was not a few, and this tradition is still preserved today.
Compared with the Heshute Division, there are more people who believe in immortality.
Of course, the Chagatai Khanate was due to geographical reasons, but there were many Muslims.
Azi Timur said: "In the face of the offensive of the Southern Dynasties, you can't sit still, I have a strategy, I want to do it with the Shuote Ministry, if the Heshute Ministry can do it, the Heshute Ministry does not have to be under the thorn, you are the first generation of Heshute Khan." β
Quintu was shocked and said, "The minister doesn't dare. β
Azi Timur said: "There is nothing to dare or not, the Erjin family was originally going to be called Khan." When the time comes, we will call it a brotherly nation. β
Without waiting for Kuntu's reaction, Azi Timur said: "There is a great chaos in Tibet, and some people are harming the Dharma, I don't know if you are willing to enter Tibet to protect the Dharma." β
When Kuntu heard this, he suddenly understood in his heart the intention of Azi Timur.
It's not that Azi Timur didn't feel the influence of the Heshute Ministry's strength on the thorns, but Aci Timur didn't want to fight among himself, but gave the Heshute Department another way out, that is, to enter Tibet.
What the risks are, Quint doesn't know.
But he knew very well that he couldn't refuse. Without him, Azi Timur was so polite that if he didn't toast late, he would have to eat and drink.
He could only say, "Naturally, I want to." β
"Okay." Azi Timur said loudly: "He is worthy of being a good Mongolian man." β
Aci Timur thought about this one thing day and night, that is, how to deal with the offensive of the Ming Dynasty.
He knew one thing very well, after the battle of Yanran Mountain, the cavalry of the tile spurs did not have an advantage over the cavalry of the Ming army, which had a very embarrassing problem.
If the cavalry of the Great Wall could not resist the Ming army, nothing else would be useful.
The really effective way is that I haven't come up with it.
However, the way to contain the Ming army was to come up with one, that is, to expand the battlefield and find a new battlefield for the Ming army, so that the Ming army would not have the energy to manage the Western Regions for a while.
This is also the inspiration given to Azi Timur by the war between Annam and the Ming Dynasty.
So where to choose, Wei Zang came into the eyes of Azi Timur.
The reason why I chose this place is that I can get it. Although Tibet cannot be entered from the east, it can be entered from the west.
In other words, if the Watts attack Tibet, there will be no problem in the route.
Moreover, the internal turmoil in Tibet has intensified the internal disputes of the Pazhu family, which has become more and more intense, and even between brothers, it has reached the point of fighting each other for the throne.
It is also because of the internal strife of the Pazhu family, which has also spread to other places, such as the internal strife of Tibetan Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism itself is divided, but this kind of strife was suppressed when the Pazhu family was strong. And because of the special status of Buddhism in Tibet.
Many monasteries were serfs and land-owned. That is to say, these Tibetan Buddhist disputes are not just like the Central Plains Buddhist disputes, just make a public case.
They are more inclined to physical annihilation.
As a result, Tibet was already in chaos, and the Pazhu family could no longer fully control Tibet.
So it's not too difficult to send troops to raid the strategy.
As for why the tile thorn didn't attack on his own, it was in the eyes of Azi Timur that the land of defending Tibet was just a piece of chicken ribs and a dead land.
First of all, Tibet is vast and sparsely populated, and the products are not abundant, even if it is defeated, how much benefit can it bring to the tile spurs, but the tile spurs are stationed in Tibet, but they weaken their own strength.
Aci Timur just wanted to use the strength of Wei Zang here to contain the Ming Dynasty. It's not that you want to expend your own strength.
In this way, the Heshute Department fell into the eyes of Az Timur.
Didn't the strength of the Heshute Department have an effect on the Tile Spur? No, too much of an impact. Azi Timur even suspended the western expedition to solve this problem.
At any given time, one country, one alliance, only one core. The strength of the Heshute Department has upset this balance.
Sending the Heshute Department to Tibet is a win-win for the Wa Thorn, on the one hand, it eliminates the thorn in the flesh, and on the other hand, it may not be a good thing for the Heshuo Special Ministry.
