"If you talk about the strength of soldiers and horses, and the combat strength of soldiers, I'm afraid that your Ning Yuanbo can only bow to the wind!" Iraguksan proudly showed off a sneering look towards Gyatso. Several nobles and grand lamas who had been to Shenyang with him also nodded yes.

"It is said that your Nanyue army under Ning Yuanbo can only rely on firearms, and win with more, every time you fight, it is the cannons that rain down, and when the soldiers fight, they also fight in groups of three or five, but they dare not fight with the warriors under the command of Bogda Khan one by one."

"If you don't say that, I'll forget." Chen Gyatso also had a proud look on his face, "I don't know how many people you have in your Bogda Khan, who has a brave warrior?" ”

"This," Gyatso asked, and Iraguk was speechless for a moment. The strength of the military in his possession of any political regime is a secret of the highest level, and it will never be known to any of his foreign envoys. If he had known that Dolgon had entered the customs two years later, and had taken almost all the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han 3824 banners with him, plus the soldiers and horses obtained from Mongolia and Korea, and Wu Sangui's surrendered troops, which were only 170,000 men, his arrogance would not have been so arrogant.

"The athletes under the command of Bogda Khan are like rain, and the warriors are like clouds in the sky, how can you say that the itinerary of a few days can be clear?!" There is no accurate number, and Iraguk III also has something to deal with, using an imaginary number to try to fool the past.

"I think it's a strong outsider, I don't dare to tell you! I know the number of soldiers under Ning Yuanbo! Chen Gyatso humbly bowed to the two Buddhas on the throne, "Buddha, in the era of the Three Dharma Kings. What was the force of the Don Army? ”

The three Dharma kings in the mouth of Gyatso are the three ancestors and grandsons of the great Zampu Songtsen Gampo, Trisong Detsen, and Trizu Detsen during the Tubo Dynasty. The reign of these three great Zanpu was the heyday of Tibet, and with their strong support, Buddhism was able to spread to Tibet and develop and prosper here. They are the three Dharma Kings in Tibetan history, and the various schools of Tibetan Buddhism refer to them as the "Three Dharma Kings of the Ancestors and Grandchildren". And the statue is enshrined. Next to this hall of master and apprentice, there is also a hall of the three kings of the ancestors and grandsons, so that the ancestors and grandsons of Songtsen Gampo can enjoy the incense offerings.

"At that time, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty were strong, and they often mobilized tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of warriors to fight in the east and west. However, the army of King Songtsen Gampo was not weak. ”

The great erudite treasure and wise man lived up to this Dharma name, and immediately gave Chen Gyatso an answer.

"Buddha, when the subordinate was ordered to send an envoy to Nanzhong, he saw more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Moreover. Ning Yuanbo's soldiers and horses are also in armor, all of them are fierce! ”

"As the ministers saw, under the rule of Uncle Ning Yuan, everyone was a warrior. Thinking about Nanzhong, the place is thousands of miles, and the people are more than 100 million trillions, which is one out of a hundred. It is also available to millions of people in an instant. The Liaodong anti-thief was a temporary success. How can he be Ning Yuanbo's powerful opponent? ”

Chen Gyatso couldn't say the words of the overall comprehensive strength of the country, but he instinctively deduced from the signs he saw during his trip to Nanzhong that he was crushing the past with money, food and population, and the group of thieves in Liaodong were not opponents.

However, Iraguk III does not see it that way.

"100,000 soldiers? Everybody in armor? Ilaguksan sneered and began to ridicule each other: "Since 100,000 Pixiu people are all in armor, how can they still be defeated and lost by Bogda Khan?" ”

Chen Gyatso disagreed: "Big defeat and loss? As far as I know, Ning Yuanbo went north this time. There are a total of 20,000 people, and they also have to take care of Liaodong and Shandong at the same time. If it were someone else, let alone 20,000, 100,000 horses might not be able to get busy. As a result, 20,000 horses. At the same time, the three directions were earth-shattering, and the Shandong direction almost completely annihilated Abatai, and the Abatai who fought almost fled back alone, even on the territory of the Mongols, he did not dare to show his face, and fled back to Liaodong in the starry night. On the battlefield of Tashan, Li Huamei, the county lord of Zhaoyang, personally led his troops to attack, and there were only a few guards around a certain badger, and even he almost carried a knife to fight hard. Not to mention Ning Yuanbo's son-in-law and grandson's military exploits in Liaoyang, I heard that these two donors are benevolent people, and some Tartars don't want to surrender, so they nailed these people to the road, and along the road from Gaizhou to Liaoyang, you can see this kind of corpse everywhere. I don't know if the current great Bogda Khan has completed the work of collecting the body. At this very moment, your great Bogda Khan may be cleaning up the ruined cities of Liaodong, crying and building new nests in the ruins! ”

Chen Gyatso's words are also true, the Liaodong Peninsula was almost burned to a white ground by Shi Lang and Wu Sangui, although Wusi Tibet is located on the snowy plateau, but there are news from the Nanzhong merchants in the south and the Mongols under Gushi Khan in the north. For a while, the monks and aristocrats of the Yellow Sect present suddenly discussed.

However, Ila Guke San was able to be selected by Gushi Khan, the Great Erudite Treasure Wise and the Great Sea Master as the envoy to Shenyang, and his brain was naturally not a mess, and his mind was racing at the moment, and he immediately found an explanation.

"Buddha, the southern army is strong, and the subordinates naturally recognize this. Lord Chung Maiba is very right. However, he overlooked one point. The southern army is all people from warm regions, but Liaodong is a bitter cold place. I heard that during the Liaodong War, countless people suffered frostbite in the southern army not long after the battle, how could such an army fight? What's more, the southern army lacked horses, and most of them were foot soldiers, how to fight against Bogda Khan's Eight Banners Iron Cavalry? I hope the Buddha will think twice! ”

Iraguksan's words hit the nail on the head. These monks and nobles present all know the experience of several major battles between Tibet and the Tang army, Tibet and Mongolia, and Wusizang and the Ming army, and they are well aware of the geographical environment and climate, as well as the composition of the troops, and the importance of the number of cavalry to an army. The limelight gradually changed from the south wind overpowering the north wind to the north wind pressing the south wind a little hard.

When Chen Gyatso found that he couldn't hold it anymore, he immediately adjusted the rhythm of the meeting. "Buddha, I just talked and forgot that there is a new good tea from Han this year. Come on! Take the new tea that the official got the day before yesterday, and ask the Buddha to comment on it. ”

More than a dozen bright-eyed concubines and Tara, holding copper plates in both hands, served butter tea made from fine tea leaves in the copper plates, and next to the teapot was a small porcelain jar, in which some fine particles spilled out. But it's the best white sugar.

Since the middle of the wheat bar. Since Chen Gyatso opened up the trade route with the Southern Yue Army, a large number of high-quality tea, white sugar, refined salt and other daily necessities have poured into the Wusi-Tibet region like a tide, so that the living standards of these monks and nobles have made a leap.

This pursuit of quality of life has nothing to do with religious beliefs. Don't you see, the monks who come and go in and out of major religious places carry donkey brands and go away after carrying a donkey brand car and a beast brand car such as BMW, Land Rover, Jaguar? Uss hid when the Eighteenth Army entered Tibet. The large and small toasts and monks and lay nobles have already enjoyed the living standards of the top European people, what brandy, whiskey, knin milk powder, bird's nest coffee, condensed milk, etc., and some noble women are carrying donkey brand bags. By the way, when did you all know about this brand? It's about the beginning of the 21st century, right? Compared with others, who is the turtle? Who is lagging behind?

Then Gyatso said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you have known the beauty of these things for a long time. But these things are not easy to get, and everyone knows that there is only one source for these things. That is Ning Yuanbo. And Ning Yuanbo's temper is believed to be well known to everyone, and when he gets angry, he can make a grain of salt and a piece of cloth unable to leave Li's house. Then we will not be able to eat such sweet sugar, and we will not be able to wear silk cloth so beautiful. I believe that this is definitely worse than death.

After drinking a few cups of butter tea, and amid the praise of the monks and officials, Chen Gyatso began to fight back.

He motioned to his confidants to go outside to consult with the iron-roded lama of the Jokhang Temple and took something. Please watch the Buddha and everyone present.

The people present exclaimed at a glance, isn't this the Zambala used by the warriors under Gushi Khan?

Zambala, the same as the Lumi gun in the Central Plains. All of them were weapons from Turkey, but Zambala was introduced to the Oirat Mongols through Central Asia and the Transoxiana region.

Han firearms had a significant impact on the Oirat Mongols. At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the Oirat tribes began to revivenation, and it was at this time that arquebuses entered their tribes. Batur Huntaiji, the first generation of heroes, attached great importance to the accumulation of firearms. As a result, the Dzungar tribe surpassed other tribes in firearms strength. By the time Gushi Khan led the Oirat tribes into Uszang, the Dzungars had been able to send 700 arquebusiers.

However, at this time, in the Dzungar Ministry, the understanding of firecrackers was far from being improved to the level of Galdan in later generations, and that was often tens of thousands of firecrackers. Although it is said that they are all imported from Russia, they were eliminated by Peter the Great. However, it is better than quantity.

In the new code "Chajin-Birak" formulated and promulgated by the nobles of the Oirat-Mongol and Khalkha Mongol tribes, the punishment for violations involving firearms was clearly stipulated. The Code stipulates that anyone who steals an arquebus shall be fined one-ninth of the total number of livestock, the same as the theft of armor and blades. Less than nine-tenths of the forfeiture penalty for stealing bows, helmets, and breastplates. This shows the status of arquebuses among the Mongol tribes.

"Buddha, among the warriors under Gushi Khan, there are only more than 700 of them, and when the ministers went south to sign the agreement on the trade regulations of Nanwu with Ning Yuanbo this time, they purchased 1,000 to use as a demon pestle in the hands of the Dharma Protector!" Chen Gyatso triumphantly showed off the arquebus in his hand.

These thousand fire guns have now been carved up by the major temples and nobles of the Yellow Sect, and have become a magic weapon to protect the religion and a sharp weapon in the hands of deterring others. Thinking of the thunderous bombardment when the iron rod lama of the nursing courtyard performed these firearms, the two Buddhas couldn't help but nod their heads slightly.

"I would like to ask the three major Ilaguks, since I was ordered by the two Buddhas and Kadan Phodrang (that is, the predecessor of the later Kashag administration) to sign the South Ukraine Trade Agreement with the Southern Yue Army, have you seen all this one thing after another?"

"This?!" Hearing Chen Gyatso ask this, it made Ilaguk San speechless. In the end, the people on the snowy plateau are much simpler, unlike the mainland officials, who can cultivate to the point of staring and talking nonsense, or even reversing black and white like Donglin.

Since the middle of the wheat bar. After Tschen Gyatso returned to Uszang, the trade agreements he signed with the Nanyue Army were implemented one by one. First of all, the third son of the Li family ordered a large number of people to build roads, and the road to Wusizang was built from Bengal to the Tibetan region.

There are a lot of silver dollars and grain, salt and cloth sprinkled by Li Peiting's big treasurer, this road from Bengal to Shigatse, from Shigatse to Nadui is organized and built by the so-called Uszang Propaganda Division, in order to send those lazy, dirty, and lowly Langshengdui poor and poor people in their own manors to the construction site of this road, the officials and monks of various families also show their talents. It's the three families of Iraguc. He also quietly sent four slave girls and 500 yaks to Chen Gyatso, in exchange for a share of 3,000 laborers. Note! It is the share of laborers, not the number of workers. No matter how many of these 3,000 people are dead or disabled, the three families of Iraguk will make up for the shortfall until the road is repaired. For the purpose of two silver dollars that were sent out every three months. At the same time, you can also make a big fuss about the food of this group of talking animals, and the Han people will not go to every section of the construction site to check how well the minions are eating!

As the road progresses. The Nanyue Army also began to set up Nanzhong commercial agencies in Lhasa, Shigatse, Gyantse, Loka, Naidong, Cuona, and Gongbu, and established commercial ports within a radius of five miles from the commercial agency's prescription, and began to build houses, set up merchants, hire manpower, and purchase and sell a large number of commodities within the commercial ports.

In the commercial port, Long prevailed in the display of silk, glass, porcelain, agate, jade, lily porcelain, clams, sugar and other nobles, living Buddhas, great lamas and other luxuries, to japonica rice, refined salt, all kinds of cloth, tea and other ordinary people and those Langsheng piled up the poor also needed daily necessities, swords, spears, armor and other samurai needs on the shelves. As for firecrackers, gunpowder, etc. Only Kashag and Gushi Khan occasionally buy sporadically. The Franc machine has always been priceless and has never had a transaction record at all.

As for the purchased goods, they are produced in various estates, from horses to yaks, yellow sheep, dzi, carnelian, beeswax, crystal, corundum, copper and other valuable things, to cattle and sheep skins and fur, Langsheng, Duqiao and chaba and other worthless goods, all of which can be valued and traded in the warehouse. Many aristocratic lords are driving the brigade of Langsheng to pile up poverty. Thousands of yaks and horses were driven, carrying heavy goods. When they went to the commercial port to trade, in the end only dozens of horses left easily carrying the goods they traded.

"Uncle Ning Yuan is also a man of his word, and he sent troops to help us recover the lost territory in the agreement, what is happening now?" Pointing to the far south, Gyatso was in high spirits. On that day, it was agreed that the Nanyue Army would dispatch no less than 3,000 troops. Assist the Usi Zangdu Division in the attack on Zhemengxiong, Reri, Baiyu Jimo County, and Bomi. After conquering the above-mentioned places, Zhe Mengxiong and Raidi belonged to Shigatse, and Baiyu Jimo County belonged to Loka. Bomi belongs to the work cloth. After the establishment of the Uszangdu Division in the above-mentioned areas, the merchants of the Southern Yue Army could build a commercial port here and open a commercial agency.

Reconquest. Expanding the territory, such a thing, is always exciting.

Along this slowly stretching road, many monks and lay nobles quietly ran under the door of Chen Gyatso, asking him to convey his intention to the Han people, inviting the Han people to open trading stations on their territory and buy goods. Of course, this is also the benefit of doing business with the temples of Tusi officials along the way when Bai Chen Gyatso returns. When they saw the delicate and beautiful goods, they looked back at what they were using, and immediately decided to change their ways.

Not only did Chen Gyatso become a popular figure in the entire upper class of Usz-Tibetan society, but the powerful position of his Zhongmaiba family was also soaring. The big lama accepted the salute and didn't say anything, but rode away and ignored it. There is no way, the economic base determines the superstructure, and Old Man Ma's theory is also common in this snowy Buddha country. Chen Gyatso sold luxury goods such as mirrors and holy porcelain in the upper class, and sold Buddhist treasures such as clams and corals, and he had already made too much money to make his own treasury. How can this butler not be domineering?

"Iragük three, I brought back the South Ukrainian trade agreement. After the Buddha and Gushi Khan agreed, the teachings of the Buddha could be spread along the avenue, and everyone benefited from the trade with the Nanyue army, what did you bring back from Liaodong? Gyatso's words were like throwing a brick into a pond, and suddenly the temple was filled with drums, like frightened frogs chirping on the pond on a summer night.

"My own Bogda Khan's reply is here! Bogda Khan praised the two Buddhas, the Great Master of the Sea and the Great Erudite Treasure Wise Man, for saving sentient beings and helping the Dharma, and also invited the Buddha to send people to the Qing Dynasty to preach and promote the Dharma! ”

"Propagation? It seems that the Buddha has sent eminent monks to the south along the road to build temples in selected places to promote the subtle teachings of Lama Tsongkhapa. ”

"Corporal Bogda Khan Lixian (I don't know if there is such a word in Tibetan, let's say so), after the disciples waited for Shengjing, Bogda Khan personally knelt and bowed to Tiansan (excerpted from "Qing Taizong Records"), and then ordered someone to bow down to greet him. He got up to receive the letters from the two Buddhas and prayed for empowerment from his disciples. After the ceremony, he said: "I will take the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the Han." Let the two holy lamas be invited to worship the living Buddha and teach the Dharma magnificently. Words and Returns" (excerpt from "The Origins of Mongolia"), the return is here. As he spoke, Ilaguk took out Huang Taiji's reply letter to the two living Buddhas of the Yellow Sect. ”

In the course of the interaction between the Huangjiao and the Liaodong anti-thieves, both sides have done enough on etiquette, face and other issues, and the letter from the Fifth Dahai Master to Huang Taiji directly called Huang Taiji 'the one who holds the authority of the world and is Hehan', and Hehan should be the transliteration of the Khan.

In addition, Huang Taiji, known as Bogda Khan, also gave all the members of the mission full armor, and sent an envoy to Shuzangba Khan (who had been sewn into a raw cowhide and thrown into the river and drowned for a long time): "The Emperor Kuanwen Rensheng of the Great Qing Dynasty sent an envoy to Zangba Khan: Ershuyun, Buddhism benefits our country, and sends an envoy to send a letter." Recently, I heard that Erut was defeated by the Erut tribe Gushibel, but the facts are not known, because of a letter of inquiry. Since then, it has been repaired. What is used in all respects should be left behind. ”

On the one hand, there are more and more benefits with the construction of roads, and on the other hand, there are thousands of miles away, and there is a false name isolated by the Mongols in the middle, which in the eyes of the monks and nobles present, how to choose is extremely simple. There are many benefits over there, so we will follow that side!

"Buddha, look outside!" Chen Gyatso struck while the iron was hot, pointing to the construction site outside, where people were moving like ants. There, a new Buddha hall is being built, and not far away Guanyin Bodhisattva Hall, Tara Hall, Eight Medicine Master Buddha Hall, Infinite Light Buddha Hall, Padmasambhava Buddha Hall, Pandan Ram Dharma Protector Temple, etc., are all under construction, and in the hall, countless Buddha statues have been re-decorated with gold powder by skilled craftsmen and decorated with gold jewelry. Under the Buddha statue, countless butter lanterns flickered with flames, and the believers kowtowed their heads reverently. (To be continued......)
