There are many records about this Kuritai conference in later generations, among which the official documents of the Ming Dynasty record that on September 5, the 14th year of Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongsan, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, participated in the Kuritai Conference at the kind invitation of Chahar Khan Ezhe. Ming Shizu had a warm conversation with the Mongolian Great Khan and Taiji who participated in the meeting, and the meeting was held in a warm and warm atmosphere. The Mongolian princes attending the meeting had a heated discussion and elected Chahar Khan Ezhe as the new Mongolian Great Khan, and at the same time, the conference also elected a new leadership group with Korqin Wu Keshan as the Taishi.

At the meeting, the Great Khan and the new leadership pledged that Mongolia has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times, and that the Mongolian people have been a part of the Chinese nation since the pre-Qin period. Great Khan pledged to unite the whole of Mongolia around Emperor Shenwu and fight to the end against all the counter-revolutionary forces that split the motherland and the people.

After the end of the congress, the Great Khan issued a letter to all Mongolian compatriots on behalf of the Mongolian tribes, calling on all Mongolian compatriots to break with the Dzungar tribe, and at the same time decided to form a Mongolian coalition army to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty government army to go to the northwest to quell the rebellion.

Of course, this is an official record, and the actual situation is simply not so easy. Zhu Hongsan waited here in Tongliao for a month, and the kings of the host country slowly gathered, which is also a helpless thing, the Mongolian steppe has a huge area of backward transportation, and it is not easy to gather the Mongolian princes scattered on the grassland in a month.

The main ones who came were the direct kings of Genghis Khan and the descendants of Genghis Khan's younger brothers, a total of forty-three tribes, twelve princes, eighteen county kings, and more than 100 people left Taiji, Nuoyan, Jinong, etc. In order to fight for the right to speak, all the Taiji tribes brought their elites, and nearly 200,000 people from 43 tribes gathered in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, which was a grand event that had not been held since Dayan Khan unified Mongolia.

In addition to these Mongolian princes, the Great Lama of the Yellow Sect also participated, after all, this time to elect the Great Khan of Mongolia, the matter is important, thousands of miles away in the Guangxian Temple of Hala and Lin, Jebzundampa Living * Buddha also came to attend in person.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there must be battles in the line, and with the arrival of the Mongolian princes, the vertical and horizontal are also quietly carried out in secret. Wu Keshan's purpose was very simple, to determine his leadership position in the Horqin tribe through this Kuritai Congress, and to elect a pro-Korqin Mongol Great Khan. Wu Keshan himself is not qualified to be a Great Khan, because Horqin is only a descendant of Genghis Khan's younger brother, and this kind of self-knowledge Wu Keshan still has.

Ezhe's purpose is simple, that is, to inherit the position of his father Lin Dan and become the new Great Khan of Mongolia. However, Horqin's power is very strong, and most of the Mongolian princes who came also support Horqin, so it is still a little difficult for Ezhe to achieve his goal. Because Lin Dan Khan treated other tribes cruelly, he had a very bad reputation among the Mongolian tribes.

As for the purpose of the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Hongsan, it was simple, to support Ezhe to become the Great Khan, and then unite Mongolia to deal with the Dzungar tribe. However, as there were more and more Mongolian princes, Zhu Hongsan felt that it was better to avoid suspicion, and too much contact between himself and Ezhe was likely to be counterproductive, so Zhu Hongsan moved the Ming army camp for ten miles, far away from the Chahar Department.

Although Zhu Hongsan tried his best to downplay the relationship between Ezhe and himself, the Mongols were not stupid, and as the news spread, the Mongolian princes knew that the Ming Dynasty emperor was standing behind Ezhe.

Wu Keshan and Ezhe each visited close tribes to seek alliances, but Zhu Hongsan only saw one person, the living Buddha Jebu Zundamba from Guangxian Temple. The reason is very simple, Zhu Hongsan knows that although these religious liars do not have many soldiers and land, but there are many believers, and now most of the entire Southern Mongolia and Northern Mongolia believe in the Yellow Sect, that is, the Gelug sect of Lamaism, so getting the help of Jebtsundamba is the most important thing.

Of course, Jebu Tsundamba could not blatantly enter the camp of the Ming army, Zhu Hongsan invited through his own glance and the Bandar sofa in Karaqin, and the two met in the Karaqin department.

Jebtsundamba is very young, he looks to be only in his thirties, and he looks white and fat, and he has kind eyebrows. But Zhu Hongsan didn't dare to underestimate this fat man. Jebtsundamba is not the name of the living Buddha, but his honorific name, this living Buddha is the second Jebtsundampa, this little fat man was originally the son of Tushetu Khan Gunbu Dorji Zanabazar, reincarnated as Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen, became the second Jebtsundamba living Buddha.

Jinyiwei's intelligence shows that this little fat man went to Tibet to study the Dharma as an adult, received ordination from the 4th Pan** Zen Lama Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen, and met with the Gelugpa leader 5th Dalai Lama, Lobsang Gyatso, both of whom asked him to convert as a condition for officially recognizing his status as a living Buddha. In order to unify the ideology of Tibetan Buddhism, Zanabazar changed from the Jonang school to the Gelug school, and the Dalai Lama recognized him as Jebtsundampa, that is, one of the two living Buddhas in Mongolia.

After completing his studies, he returned to Mongolia to preach, and stationed in Erdenizhao, that is, Guangxian Monastery, in the Khalkhatu Shetu Khan Department, after more than ten years of mission, Zanabazar gradually became the political and religious leader of the Mongolian tribes.

The little fat man Zhanabazar saw Zhu Hong's three salutes and said: "The little monk has seen the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what His Majesty summoned the little monk for?" ”

"Haha, the Great Monk is the religious leader of the Mongolian tribes, this kind of important matter of promoting the Great Khan, I naturally want to listen to the meaning of the Great Monk!"

Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, Zhanabazar smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is smiling, the little monk is just a monk, and he doesn't care about those mundane things in the world!" For such a matter as the Great Khan, please ask Your Majesty to go to the princes! ”

Zhu Hongsan scolded in his heart when he heard the little fat man say this: No matter what mundane things are? No matter what you're here for? To see the excitement?

"Haha, the great monk laughed, the great monk is also the son of Tushetu Khan, and he is also a descendant of the Golden Family, so he is naturally qualified to participate." Zhu Hongsan didn't want to turn around after speaking, and asked directly: "How does the great monk feel about the Ezhe of the Chahar Department?" This kid has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and at first glance he is particular about people, what does the great monk think? ”

Zhanabazar knew that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the backer of Ezhe, and according to the bloodline, Ezhe was born in the central Wanhu Chahar Department, and was the direct bloodline of Tulu Borot, the eldest son of Dayan Khan, so he was naturally a qualified candidate for the Great Khan of Mongolia. However, the previous Great Khan, Lin Dan Khan, did not know what kind of wind was pumping in his head, and he had to convert to the Red Religion, what if Ezhe succeeded the Great Khan to promote the Red Religion in Mongolia?

Red Buddhism is one of the four major branches of Tibetan Buddhism, also known as the Nyingma sect, the main activity area is in Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunnan area, is the second largest branch of Tibetan Buddhism after the Yellow Gelug sect. After the occupation of Tibet, Gushi Khan of the Oirat Mongols vigorously promoted the Red Religion in order to fight against the Yellow Religion, so the Red and Yellow Religions were very incompatible.

It took more than ten years for Zhanabazar to push out the Yellow Sect in Mongolia, and now that the Mongolian Great Khan has replaced himself with the followers of the Red Sect, wouldn't his more than ten years of efforts be in vain? Naturally, Zhanabazar did not want Ezhe to ascend to the throne.

Zhanabazar said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although Lin Dan inherited the position of the Great Khan back then, but Lin Dan acted perversely back then and became the public enemy of the Mongolian tribes, and now his son naturally cannot inherit the throne of the Khan, and the little monk thinks that it is better to elect others from the Chahar department!" ”

Lin Dan's son can't do it, the only qualified person in the eight departments of Chahar is Murgen of the Sunit department, but this old guy Morgen has a very bad attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, and he wants to be on the throne, where can he listen to Zhu Hongsan?

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said: "The sect can be changed, didn't Lin Dan also change the Yellow Sect to the Red Sect back then, and now I can let Ezhe change back from the Red Sect, do you think it's okay, big monk?" "Ezhe is now completely controlled by Zhu Hongsan, not to mention letting him change his sect, even if he changes his surname to Zhu as Zhu Hong's third son, Ezhe can only agree.

After hearing this, the little fat man living Buddha Zhanabazar just smiled and said nothing, and he didn't say yes or disagree.

Seeing this, Zhu Hongsan continued: "Great monk, you live in Guangxian Temple, you should know that the Junggar Department has arrived in Hangai Mountain, not far from Guangxian Temple!" There are also great monks, although they are monks, but after all, they are from the Tushetu tribe, and the first thing Dzungar kills is your Khalkha Sanbu, and you watch your followers die in the hands of Dzungaria? You must know that Dzungaria believes in Red Christianity, and I heard that Kaldan, the younger brother of Sangha Khan, also believes in Baitou Islam, and when the time comes, the whole of Mongolia believes in Islam, what can you do, great monk? Those white-headed veterans like the communist wives the most, what can you do with the goddess in your temple! ”

Zhu Hongsan is talking nonsense here, the Dzungar Department and the Kazakh Khanate that believes in Islam are mortal enemies, and Galdan is a bull who fights with the Qing army in the south, resists the Russians in the north, and fights with the Kazakh Khanate in the west.

Zhanabazar is not blind-eyed, and he also knows that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is talking nonsense here, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is also right about one thing, that is, Dzungaria will definitely not have a good end for himself.

Dzungar are not the descendants of the Golden Family, they have always looked down on the great Genghis Khan family, and have always been mortal enemies of the desert north and south. Zanabazar is from the Tushetu tribe, where can he watch his tribe being slaughtered? And the most important point is that the Dzungars believe in the Red Religion, and when they come, they must promote the Red Religion on the grassland, so won't they have worked in vain for more than ten years?

Zhu Hongsan saw that Zhanabazar's face was heavy, and he knew that what he said just now had an effect, so he hurriedly said: "Great monk, you see that the Dzungar tribe is united around the monks, and if you don't accept it, you will fight that, but if you look at yourself, you will quarrel for a long time for the position of a great khan, and it is estimated that you will not understand when the Dzungar army is killed!" At this time, you need the Great Monk, the Great Monk You are the spiritual leader of Mongolia, and you should know that the only way to elect Ezhe is the best and fastest way now! ”
