Chapter 946 There is a change

Zhu Hongsan is clever and eloquent, and dead people can say that they are alive, but what Zhu Hongsan said is also very reasonable. The most important thing now is to immediately elect a new Mongol Great Khan, so that everyone can resist the Dzungar attack. The Mongols have never had a sense of time, and every time the Kuritai Conference is held, it is like a New Year. But this can't be helped, after all, the tribes are thousands of miles apart, and they can't meet at all, so it's understandable to take this opportunity to recognize their relatives and reminisce about the past.

However, this time was different, the Dzungar army had already crossed the Hangai Mountains a year ago and arrived in the hinterland of Mobei Mongolia, and the next step was to deal with the three Khalkha Mongol tribes. This time, Zanabazar was able to come to the Kuritai Conference in person precisely because of this.

Zhanabazar thought for a long time, and felt that what the Ming Emperor said was very right, and now it is the safest way to promote Ezhe, after all, Ezhe is Lin Dan's only son, and he has won the support of the eight departments of Chahar, and using him as the Great Khan of Mongolia can save a lot of trouble.

Zhanabazar was thinking about this, Zhu Hongsan was not idle, and said in a timely manner his plan to divide and weaken Mongolia for many days, this is the most important thing for Zhu Hongsan to come to Mongolia this time, and it is more important than uniting the Mongolian tribes to resist Dzungaria.

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "Hehe, great monk, I have already discussed with Ezhe, and Ezhe has also agreed, as long as the great monk you promise to recommend him as the Great Khan of Mongolia, Ezhe will appoint you as the living Buddha of the entire Mongolia!" ”

Zhanabazar's eyes lit up when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and now he has a great influence in the three Khalkha Mongolian tribes, but he does not have much influence in the three tribes of Korqin, Chahar, and Tumut in southern Mongolia, because Horqin and Tumut have their own living Buddhas, which are another living Buddha in Mongolia, Zhangjiahu Tuketu. As for the Red Sect that the Korqin Department converted to when Lin Dan Khan was converted, it has not yet been changed.

However, with the help of the Great Khan of Mongolia, it will be different to become the living Buddha of all Mongolia, and when the time comes, Zhangjiahu Tuktu in Duolun will also serve as the lord of Zhanabazar. Thinking of this, Zhanabazar is full of joy, although he is a monk with few desires, but living in this world, how can he really be too forgetful? If you are a human being, you will compete for superiority, and even these monks are not exempt from vulgarity.

Zhu Hongsan saw that Zhanabazar's eyes lit up, and then said: "Great monk, in addition to these, Ezhe promised that when he became the Great Khan of Mongolia, he would go all out to promote the Yellow Religion, and all believers would donate half of their family property to build a temple for the Buddha, and all the believers would enter the temple to serve the Buddha except for one man who would inherit the family property!" ”

Zhu Hongsan said this: "Hey, great monk, you should really go to my Beijing to see, see the magnificent lama temple that I gave to the fifth Da * Lama, the golden body of the Buddha is made of pure gold, ten zhang high, the Dalai Lama is not ready to go back to Tibet after seeing it, and in the end, if it is not for the busy affairs of the Tibetan area, the great lama will live in Beijing until reincarnation!" ”

Zhu Hongsan is bragging here, now the Ming Dynasty government is very rich, but Zhu Hongsan can't manage the treasury at all, and he himself is a coercive one, where he can pay for the Da * Lama Temple. It is true that the Buddha Jin in the lama temple in Beijing is ten feet tall, but the inside is all mud tires, and the outside is just brushed with a layer of gold dust. At this point, Zhu Hongsan also ordered the craftsman to only brush the leakage on the outside with gold dust, and the places covered by clothes were not brushed at all. Anyway, the Dalai Lama does not live permanently, and Zhu Hongsan estimates that those lamas of all sizes do not dare to climb on the golden body of the Buddha to watch in detail, so they can fool around.

Zhanabazar is also a person who has seen the world, so he naturally doesn't believe that the Ming Dynasty is so rich that he can use pure gold to build the golden body of the Buddha, but ten zhang high is a layer of gold leaf, which is also a huge amount of money. The ones that Zhu Hongsan said just now donated half of his family property to the temple, and the men were all lamas, but they went into the heart of Zhanabazar. As long as he really does what Zhu Hongsan said, Nazanabazar will immediately become the most powerful person in Mongolia, much more majestic than the various Taiji and the Mongolian Great Khan.

In fact, Zhu Hongsan's doing this was not a clever method he came up with, but a religious chain that Zhu Hongsan built for Mongolia in accordance with the later Manchu Qing Dynasty.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were only more than 200,000 people, and the first thing to guard against was the hundreds of millions of Han people in the customs, but the second thing to guard against was the Mongolian tribes with a population of five or six million.

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty formed an alliance with the Mongols, they entered the Central Plains with the help of the Mongols. In order to win over the Mongols, many of the Manchu queens were Mongols, but the Manchus were more strict than ever against the Mongols. The first regime established by the Manchu ancestors, the "Jin", was destroyed by the Mongols, and the Jin failed to prevent the unification and expansion of the Mongols, and the Manchus paid great attention to learning their lessons. At that time, the Manchu rulers believed that there were two ways to weaken the Mongols: one was to reduce its population and the other was to divide more tribes.

The first point is to reduce the population of Mongolia, in fact, the Jin Dynasty also adopted this policy, but the implementation method is different, the Jin adopted a policy of reducing Ding, every few years to send a large army to the Mongolian steppe to kill a round, the princes who have influence on Mongolia will also trap and kill it (Temujin's grandfather Baba Khan was nailed to death on a wooden donkey by the Jin Emperor). While this approach could also reduce the Mongolian population, the side effects were too great, the burden was heavy, and it could provoke strong Mongolian hatred of Kim.

And the Manchus were much smarter and more hidden. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court vigorously promoted the Yellow Religion in Mongolia, giving huge financial subsidies, and those who entered the Yellow Religion could not marry and have children, but the social and economic status was very high, and in more than two hundred years, the Mongolian Yellow Religion flourished abnormally, but the Mongolian population dropped sharply from more than 5 million in the early Qing Dynasty to more than 800,000 in the early years of the Republic of China, while the Chinese population increased from 60 million in the early Qing Dynasty to 400 million in the same period. The policies of the Manchu Qing were subtle but effective.

The second point was to divide and disintegrate the Mongol tribes as much as possible, and the Manchus resolutely opposed the unification of the Mongol tribes. The imperial court appeared as an arbiter in Mongolia's tribal disputes, suppressing the strong and supporting the weak, and at the same time demarcating the areas of the pastures of each tribe. The policies of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were concealed but effective, and after the continuous suppression of the emperors of the early Qing Dynasty, the Mongols collapsed, and could not pose an effective threat to the central power at all, and basically relieved the northern border troubles that had plagued the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years.

And Zhu Hongsan's deal with Mongolia is basically these two moves, dividing and disintegrating the big tribes as soon as Zhu Hongsan enters Mongolia, and not letting Ezhe kill Karaqin is an example. Now that Zhu Hongsan saw the Mongolian living Buddha Zhanabazar, he threw out the most important one.

Zhanabazar listened to Zhu Hongsan's words and struggled for a long time, and in the end interests prevailed over reason, Zhanabazar was just about to open his mouth to promise Zhu Hongsan, who knew that there was a problem at the critical time, and a small lama appeared at the door of the big tent, which was the monk who came with Zhana Bazar.

The little lama's eyebrows were clear, and Zhu Hongsan knew that this guy was the face of Zhanabazar at a glance, but he didn't expect that these living Buddhas also liked to play this tune. However, when Zhu Hongsan thinks of the godfathers of European and American Christianity in later generations, doesn't he also like palyboy? It seems that these religious liars are very empty in their hearts, and they all need a stick to fill the loopholes behind them!

The little lama didn't know Zhu Hongsan's dirty thoughts, so after entering the tent, he first gave Zhu Hongsan a salute, and then muttered in Zhanabazar's ear.

Zhu Hongsan didn't know what they were talking about, so he looked at the interpreter next to him, and the interpreter also shook his head and said that he didn't hear clearly.

Zhanabazar's face was as usual at first, but after listening to the little lama's words, his complexion began to become solemn, and he stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the little monk still has some things to deal with, and the little monk will leave first!" ”

Zhu Hongsan saw that the bald donkey was about to agree just now, why did he suddenly change his hexagram, Zhu Hongsan hurriedly asked: "Great monk, did you agree to what you just said?" ”

Zhanabazar had already walked to the door at this time, and when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, he turned around and said, "Your Majesty, you solve your affairs first, as long as there is no problem within you, there is no problem on the side of the little monk!" ”

No problem inside? Zhu Hongsan was stunned when he heard what Zhanabazar said, could it be that something happened to him?

As soon as Zhanabazar left, Zhu Hongsan's brother-in-law Bandar Shah walked in, and immediately after he came in, he said, "Your Majesty has a big incident!" ”

Seeing Bandar Sha like this, Zhu Hongsan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, just now Ezhe came with news, I don't know where Abahai heard about it, they know that Lin Dan Khan's sac Dafujin is still alive, and Lin Dan Khan also has a posthumous son, Abu Nai! Now Abahai's county king Ezig does not agree, and has to welcome back his grandson Abu Nai to be the Great Khan of Mongolia, saying that Ezhe is just a dog baby of the Manchurians, and is not worthy of being the noble Great Khan of Mongolia! ”

Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, but he didn't expect such a thing to come out halfway, Zhu Hong rubbed his forehead angrily and asked, "What the hell is Abahai?" What is the origin and what is the strength? ”

Bandar Shah knew that this emperor did not know the details of Mongolia, and hurriedly explained the origin of the Abahai tribe on the side. It turns out that Abahai is one of the oldest tribes in Mongolia, Abahai means uncle in Mongolian, and the ancestor of this tribe was Genghis Khan's half-brother Bugbolegtu, who was also one of the kings of the host country. These are nothing, it's just that this Abahai got along well with Lin Dan back then, and Lin Dan married Namu Zhong, the daughter of the king of Abahai County, Ezig, that is, the big fortune of the bag.

These are nothing, the key is that this Namu Zhong was named the Great Blessing Jin by Lin Dan because of her beautiful appearance and prominent family background, and the son she gave birth to is naturally the most suitable to inherit the Mongolian Great Khan. But Namu Zhong, who was in turmoil back then, was gone, and Ezig thought his daughter was dead. The Abahai tribe and the Chahar tribe have been friends for generations, and this time they came to participate in the Kuritai conference could have been a help to Ezhe, but I don't know where Ezig knew that his daughter was still alive and had a grandson of pure blood. Knowing the news, Ezig naturally refused to give up, so he gathered several tribes to prepare to overthrow Ezhe and welcome Abu Nai's return to the throne.
