As he handed the letter to the Sangha, Anukodun asked, "Taiji, what do these nine Chinese characters mean?" ”

The monk smiled: "This is the sixth brother who wants me to learn from Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang!" ”

What Zhu Cihong gave to the Jungar Ministry was not only the funds for building the city and the firearms to kill the enemy, but also the culture from the Central Plains.

The lama monasteries that can be found everywhere in and around the city of Chu River were not presided over by lamas from Tibet, but by the Yellow Temple lamas from the Central Plains. The cost of building the temple was, of course, donated by Emperor Zhu Cihong of the Ming Dynasty. took Zhu Cihong's money, of course, these Yellow Temples had to do things for Zhu Cihong.

So the lama monasteries in Chuhe City spread not only Buddhism, but also Han culture – most of the Buddhist scriptures they brought with them were written in Chinese. Moreover, they also opened a Chinese literature hall in the temple, recruiting the children of the nobles of the quasi-department to learn Chinese characters and Chinese in the temple, and also taught them Chinese history...... As the protector of Huntaiji and Dadu, the monk of course has to learn the culture of the Central Plains.

Even if he is determined to be an enemy of the Central Plains, he should know himself and his opponent!

Therefore, in the monk's mansion, there is a Pearl Lama who is proficient in Mongolian, Chinese and Tibetan languages invited from Wutai Mountain to be a tutor to help him learn the Central Plains culture.

So the monk immediately understood the meaning of his living Buddha brother - this is to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang!

Wasn't Zhu Yuanzhang the one who built the city, accumulated grain, and slowly became the king, and finally became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

"Taiji," Anukedun's Han culture skills are not as good as her husband's, but she also knows that Zhu Yuanzhang is saying, so she laughed at the moment, "Galdan is Hutuketu, his words will not be wrong...... Taiji, it seems that you can become the Zhu Yuanzhang of the Mongols! ”

The monk smiled and said to his wife: "I became Zhu Yuanzhang of Mongolia, and you are the queen of our Mongolian bigfoot horse!" ”

Anu's face was full of light: "Yes, yes, Anu has big hands and big feet, and he can charge for Taiji, no worse than Zhu Yuanzhang's Queen Ma!" ”

This Anukodun looks like a silly white sweet, but in fact he is a female general who can charge into battle!

In history, Song Daye, a cabinet scholar of the Qing Dynasty who had followed Kangxi's northern expedition to Galdan, described Anukodun's heroic posture in the battle of Mo Zhaoduo in the "Northern Expedition Diary", and Daye said that she wore a Yuan fox hat, a spear in her hand, a seven-yellow robe in her armor, green silk pants on her lower body, and chain mail.

The monk nodded, "I was still hesitating whether to go east or south, but now I can finally make a decision!" ”

During this time, the opportunity to go east and south was placed in front of the monk at the same time.

The opportunity to advance eastward was fought by the Ming army in Liaodong. After the collapse of Manchuria, the three Khalkha tribes and the Korqin tribe collapsed together, and the small Mongolian tribes who were unwilling to be ruled by the Chahar Khanate and the Tumut Khanate moved westward one after another, greatly increasing the strength of the Dzungar tribe.

Moreover, the power of the Chahar Khanate and the Tumut Khanate was limited and could not fill the power vacuum created by the collapse of the three Khalkha tribes in the short term, so they gave the quasi-ministry the opportunity to unify the Mongols eastward.

The opportunity to go south was sent to the Sangha by Aurangzeb, the "conqueror of the world" in Tianzhu. After Aurangzeb seized the throne of his father Shah Jahan through a coup d'état, he decided to do two great things – two big things that were more challenging than one!

Aurangzeb is now the "conqueror of the world", and of course he has to do something difficult.

His first great undertaking was to unify India! This is taken for granted, there is nothing to say.

Aurangzeb's second major undertaking was to regain his ancestral inheritance, Samarkand, the Mughal dynasty of India, the descendants of the Timurid Empire. He was driven out of his hometown by the Uzbek Khanate and went to India to claim the throne. Now that Aurangzeb, the great conqueror of the world, he must first conquer his homeland.

Otherwise, the ancestral tombs are all in the hands of others, and they may be given to the fallen bucket at some point, and they dare to be called the conquerors of the world? Isn't that a joke?

Therefore, after Aurangzeb became the emperor of India, he was ready to send troops to defeat the Bukhara Khanate.

And the Bukhara Khanate has actually declined, being beaten by the Persian Kingdom and the Khiva Khanate (west of Bukhara, the Khan is also from the Uzbek royal family), and the allies of the Kazakh Khanate and the Yarkand Khanate have been destroyed by the Dzungar Tribe, and life is not ordinarily sad. However, Aurangzeb, the conqueror of the world, was defeated by the Bukhara Khanate before usurping the throne......

But Aurangzeb did not consider the failure of the northern expedition to Bukhara to reflect his true strength - he repeatedly defeated the army of the Bukhara Khanate in the Bakhar region bordering Bukhara in Afghanistan, and if it were not for the fact that the Indian cavalry was inferior to that of the Uzbeks (Bukhara Khanate) and Turkmens, so that it could not protect the logistics line, the banner of the Timurid Empire would have been flying in the city of Samarkand.

Therefore, long before the usurpation of the throne, Aurangzeb advocated uniting the pagan Mongols in the north of the Bukhanate to attack the Bukhara.

In order to realize this plan, Aurangzeb also personally sent an envoy to the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, he caught up with Dolgon and fell from his horse and died, and found nothing.

After Aurangzeb's successful usurpation of the throne, a new opportunity arose before him - the rise of Dzungar and the fall of the Kazakhs left the Bukhara Khanate in the midst of enemies on all sides.

Therefore, after securing the throne of the emir, Aurangzeb began to send emissaries to the city of Chu to plan a joint attack on Bukhara.

Later, he sent an envoy to the golden city of Siam to try to contact the suzerainty of Dzungar, Da Ming.

"Taiji, should we go east or south?" Anukodon asked.

The monk glanced at her and said in his heart: This woman still doesn't understand the truth of building a high city, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming a king!

"South, of course!" The monk said, "If you want to go east, you will definitely have a conflict with the Ming Dynasty, and it will not be a slow Khan." Now only the Timurid dynasty (Mughal dynasty) united with the Tianzhu state and the Abulkhaz **** Khan of the Khiva Khanate west of Bukhara to fight against the Bukhara Khanate. ”

"Will the Timurid Dynasty and the Khiva Khanate join forces with us?" Anu was a little puzzled, "Aren't they afraid that we will become stronger after swallowing the land of the Bukhara Khanate?" ”

"Of course they're not afraid!" The monk said, "The Bukhara Khanate believed in the Heavenly Religion, while we believe in the Buddha, and we are nomadic people...... That's why they think we'll leave Bukhara at best. And they can eat Bukhara and Samarkand, and then use Bukhara and Samarkand as the basis to continue to divide the land of the Bukhara Khanate that we don't want. ”

"Oh, Anu sees!" Anukodun's mind finally turned, "Khutuktu means that we should occupy all the rich lands in the northeastern part of the Bukhara Khanate, and then build castles in critical places as the basis for long-term defense. Only when we firmly control the land northeast of Bukhara can you call the Khan and the Ming Dynasty to fight! ”

The monk nodded: "That's what it means!" He smiled, "In the end, Hutuketu is smarter than us mortals!" ”

In fact, both the monk and Anukodun misunderstood Galdan, and Kaldan never thought of letting the Dzungar tribe go against the Ming Dynasty. His slow name is not a slow name for the big sweat, but a slow name for the little sweat. In his opinion, it would be nice for the Dzungars to be able to eat the oasis at the foot of the Tien Shan Mountains, which was occupied by the Bukhara Khanate...... As a Western vassal for the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, it is very comfortable to ask for hundreds of thousands or millions of annual gifts, what are you tossing around?

"Taiji, then let's quickly convene a meeting of the leaders of the tribes, deploy troops and horses, and attack Bukhara!" Anukodon is a belligerent woman and can't wait a little now.

"Don't worry," the monk waved his hand, "I'll talk about it when the sixth brother arrives...... The sixth brother is Hutu Ketu, and with him acting with us, it will be foolproof to go south. Moreover, since we want to delay the Khan, then we should ask the court for instructions before sending troops. ”
