** It is the next place for Zhu Ci to open up.

Since the eighteenth year of Hongwu**, ** has nominally become the place under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is only in name, although the Ming Dynasty has a capital division in **, but the real power is still in the hands of various living Buddhas, and those living Buddhas are the real rulers.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, just after the Lantern Festival, Zhu Ci ordered the Fifth Army stationed in Qinghai to enter **.

As early as the Ming Dynasty re-unified the world, Zhu Cijiao began to lay out preparations for the first place, so that Zhang Kuishan, the commander of the Fifth Army, took the Fifth Army into Qinghai, trained in the Qinghai Plateau, and became familiar with the plateau environment as soon as possible.

**In later generations, it has the title of the roof of the world, and it is the absolute barrier to the west of the Central Plains, and its strategic position is extremely important and must be won.

The holy decree was soon issued to the Fifth Army, and Zhang Kuishan's chest was full of blood.

"Hahahaha, after two years of waiting, I finally have something to do!" Zhang Kuishan laughed, for nearly two years, he had been training all day long in a place where alpine birds didn't, and he almost didn't suffocate him, and now he finally made him wait for the task, so he was naturally excited.

"Order, the Fifth Army can be assembled and sent to Tibet!" Zhang Kuishan ordered loudly.

An hour later, all the 20,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army were ready, and all the soldiers turned on their horses and marched.

The Fifth Army will enter Qamdo via Yushu, and then arrive in Lhasa via Qamdo.

Lhasa is the center of **, not only gathered a large number of Tibetans, but also a large number of living Buddhas, if the fifth army falls in Lhasa, it is almost equivalent to taking the entire **.

The so-called living Buddha, to put it nicely, is called a living Buddha, but to put it mildly, it is a group of big landlords who wear Buddhist clothes and oppress ordinary Tibetans.

Tibetans believe in Buddhism, Tantra has absolute authority in **, and the Living Buddha is the head of Tantra.

The task that Zhu Ci taught Zhang Kuishan is not only to occupy the world, but more importantly, to rectify the living Buddha system, so that the Tibetans' minds can be emancipated, so that the Tibetans can be sinicized and integrated into the Chinese family in the future.

This task is not easy to say, but it is not difficult to say.

Although the living Buddhas control the actual rights of the world, not to mention that the living Buddhas are not united, each has its own forces, just the whole place, the population is only a few hundred thousand, the army is less than 100,000, and the 20,000 army of the Fifth Army has absolute strength to overwhelm the entire **.

The most important thing is not to capture, but to win the hearts and minds of the Tibetan people.

"Grandma's, ** living Buddhas, your grandfather Zhang Kuishan is here!" Zhang Kuishan laughed wildly and galloped on his horse and took the lead in stepping into the ** region.

As the commander of this Tibetan visit, the purpose is to solve the ** problem, Zhang Kuishan has read a lot of books about ** and the living Buddha in advance, and he already has a set of methods to deal with the living Buddha in his heart.

Zhang Kuishan's plan has been submitted to Zhu Cijiao, and it has been unanimously approved by Zhu Cijiao and Li Yan, the first assistant. Zhang Kuishan has reason to believe that under his methods, the good days of the living Buddhas are numbered.

Zang Road is not easy to walk, although the Fifth Army formed an iron cavalry, there are war horses to ride, but the Zang Road is rugged south, and it took three days for the Fifth Army to feel Qamdo.

Qamdu is an important passage into Tibet, guarded by tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers, but in the face of the 20,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army, the Tibetan soldiers did not dare to stop it, and opened the city gate to let the 20,000 soldiers of the Fifth Army pass through the city.

Looking at the process of the 20,000 Ming troops of the Fifth Army, the Tibetan generals of Qamdo looked a little gloomy.

Although he did not dare to prevent the Ming army from crossing the city, he quickly sent the news to Lhasa and other living Buddhas, so that they could discuss countermeasures and deal with the Ming army entering Tibet.

For more than 200 years, ** is nominally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty rarely sends a large army into Tibet, and this time the 20,000 Ming troops entered Tibet, which had to make them think more.

No matter what the Tibetan general thought, after the Fifth Army passed through Qamdo, it went straight to Lhasa without stopping.

After Qamdo, the road is a lot better, there is a straight road leading to Lhasa, the legend is a thousand years ago when Songtsen Gampo unified **, the purpose is to be able to quickly transfer troops from Lhasa to the Tibetan border, and now it is beneficial to Zhang Kuishan and other soldiers of the Fifth Army.

After another little more than three days, the Fifth Army approached Lhasa.

As the Fifth Army approached and was about to enter Lhasa, the city was not at peace.

The day before the Fifth Army entered Tibet, the Ming Dynasty sent documents first, making it clear that the Fifth Army would enter Lhasa.

In this regard, the living Buddhas are naturally not very happy, they regard Tibet as their forbidden place, but the Ming Dynasty has continued to use troops in recent years, the soldiers are strong, and the living Buddhas are also slightly so-called, for the strength of the Ming army, they do not dare to stop it clearly, they can only wait for the Ming army to enter Lhasa and then slowly try to make the Ming army withdraw automatically.

"Buddha, the Ming Dynasty has been strong in recent years, and it is impossible to directly contend with it, and the 20,000 Ming troops are stationed in Lhasa, I am afraid that it will be ill-intentioned, and we must prepare earlier." A temple elder said.

"Well, no matter what attention the Ming Dynasty is fighting, we are the masters of the Tibetan area, and after the Ming army entered Lhasa, all actions could not escape my eyes. Don't worry about what they will come up with, life in Tibet is different from the Central Plains, and the Ming soldiers may not be able to endure it for long, after all, they still have to leave. He said calmly, as if he didn't care about the arrival of the Ming army.

"Be prepared for courtesy, so as not to lose the courtesy!" The Living Buddha said calmly.

"Yes, Buddha!" The temple elder responded.

Not only one party, but other living Buddhas are also extremely concerned about the imminent arrival of the Ming army, and they are also hurriedly preparing something to deal with it.

However, in any case, the living Buddhas are not too worried, they have their own dependence, no matter how Tibetans are the territory of the Tibetans, and the Tibetans believe in their living Buddhas, what they say is the will of the Buddha, the Ming army may be strong, but it is impossible to compare with the Tibetans in the entire Tibetan area.

At the beginning, Emperor Hongwu also paid attention to the Tibetan area, and what he got was only some nominal things, and the actual ones were still firmly in the hands of various living Buddhas, so they believed that even if the current Ming Emperor had the same thoughts as Emperor Hongwu at the beginning, he would not get anything in the end.
