Li Yu accompanied the Khalkha Three Khans to Naturalization, after a grand welcome ceremony, early the next morning, the two sides arrived at the Fengzhou Council - the news of Jin Khan's proclamation of the emperor was too terrible, and the alliance was imminent, in order to improve efficiency, Fengzhou changed the place of the meeting to the council, and the representatives of the two sides held negotiations at the same time, nearly 300 councillors from all over the country also debated and voted, and the resolution was immediately signed and signed, Yunrong explained to the Khalkha people that the councillor held Fengzhou's money bag, and no one could get the money without their vote. The Khalkha Khan and the nobles were very unimpressed by this, but they had to bow their heads when they reached out to others, and sent the young nobles such as Subutai and the group of merchants of Derge as their representatives, so they did not bother to bargain with a group of civilians, and sat in the council while drinking tea while waiting for the results of the negotiations and the vote.

Subutai's eloquence is good, in the face of hundreds of officials and councillors without stage fright, tearfully told the suffering of the Khalkhas, asked Fengzhou to provide selfless assistance, and solemnly said that the Khalkha people support the Khalkha Hutuktu Batulu Khan, in this way, Fengzhou and Khalkha are a family, so the Khalkha people in Fengzhou should also have them, this is a good brother. Derge and others also appeared one after another, saying that they were pitiful, and if no one cared about them, they would starve to death and freeze to death, touting Li Yu as the common leader of all the departments of the grassland, the most benevolent heart, Fengzhou will take out some money, and the more the better, lest everyone think that he is as stingy as Chahar Khan.

"You are not finished, your own brothers also have to settle accounts, the Great Commander is your Great Khan is his own business, we have the final say on how to use the money in Fengzhou, you can help if you want, but you must prove that you are worth helping." The more the new speaker of the parliament, Omulun, became more and more impatient, and knocked on the wooden to stop the Khalkha people from continuing to talk nonsense - the former speaker of the parliament, Lao Dabu, was illiterate and could not do anything but knock on the table, so he simply resigned and went home to herd sheep, and the other councillors were not interested in the errands of the speaker who had no power and power, and the activist Omulun was successfully elected, and he was still very devoted.

Omulun is the eldest son of the former Shunyi king Boshuo Ketu Khan, and also the half-brother of Batu and Ulan, who sacrificed land outside the Xuanfu border to Fengzhou, Li Yu did not show mercy to this brother-in-law, and gave some money to put his population and livestock into the guard, and then designated him as a councilor. Omulun complained and entered the council, but found that this place was too suitable for him, the power of the council can be managed in hand, but there is no need to work hard and hard, and scold whoever you want, and no one cares about rolling on the ground, this guy rushed into the council and couldn't extricate himself, not only ate the rules of procedure, but also learned to be mercenary from the businessman, as soon as the old Dabu announced his resignation, he jumped out to run for the speaker, everyone gave him a face to give him the speaker's seat, he really felt a little like the king of Shunyi.

"Fengzhou is not helping the poor, no matter how pitiful you say, we can only accompany a few tears, and we must have real things, such as how much does it cost? How are I going to use it? How to repay the money? How will I return it in the future? There is a charter in general," Deputy Speaker Sun Tingyao reminded the Khalkhas, but the Khalkha people were going to ask for it in vain, so they all kept their mouths shut and did not answer, Sun Tingyao sighed, waved his hand and continued, "Khalkha and Fengzhou are brotherly states, and there is no doubt that they should help each other, but the Khalkha region is vast, the population is large, and the natural conditions are harsh, this burden Fengzhou cannot bear, and the two systems are too different, Fengzhou will never implement one country, two systems for you, and it is unrealistic for the two families to live together, Therefore, you still have to rely on your own strength to tide over the difficulties, and Toyosu can only provide assistance in the form of trade and exchange, training of the army, and training of officials. ”

"No, the Khalkha people are poor and can't afford to eat, and they are about to start a war with the Qing State, you are brothers, so you should immediately give us weapons, money and food." Shuo Lei couldn't help but throw down the tea bowl and screamed, as if the Qing army was killing his lair along the Khalkha River.

"It will be given to you, but you must also agree to our terms." Sun Tingyao glanced at Shuo Lei disdainfully and waved his hand at Shen Shoulian.

Shen Shoulian got up and preached to the Khalkhas: Fengzhou is not rich, and the Prime Minister's Office cannot afford it, so it can only solve practical problems through trade and mutual markets. The second is the protection of private property, Khalkha must recognize the "Order on the Protection of Private Property" of Fengzhou, and the two sides send trade ambassadors to each other to protect the rights and interests of their own businessmen, and one party should promptly notify the other party's trade ambassador and invite them to participate in the collegiate discussion when disposing of the personal or private property of the other party's businessmen; In view of the current situation of Khalkha's internal fragmentation and indiscriminate establishment of checkpoints, Toyosu will help Khalkha formulate a tax system, set up a tax department and train tax collectors, and collect a customs tax on the exchange of goods in accordance with the Toyosu tax law, and the income tax will be used for the livelihood of Khalkha and military expenses. If Khalkha agrees to these conditions, the major banknotes in Fengzhou will jointly provide Khalkha with a loan of 100,000 taels of silver banknotes at an annual interest rate of five cents, which will be gradually repaid within five years, and can be repaid with livestock and wool.

"We are really tired, a lot of money is for you to use, and we have to take care of the taxes for you, forget it, the family, don't care, remember, it's silver money, not silver, lest that guy see the money and run away when he gets the silver," Shen Shoulian looked like he was at a loss, and casually pointed to the Khalkha nobles and said, "I know that you all live your own lives, don't worry, each family has a share of the taxes received, how to divide it yourself to discuss." ”

The Khalkha were stunned for a moment, and together they looked at Shuolei, Gunbu, and Subadi, and the three guys exchanged glances, then turned their heads and walked out, and the Khalkha immediately followed in a swarm. Back in the pavilion, the Khalkha people never went out again, they quarreled for several days, and even Namur was invited to comment - the Khalkha is too poor, and the nobles who have thousands of cattle and sheep can't turn over much silver in their homes, 100,000 taels of silver is a huge number, everyone wants to ask for more, and as for the future taxes, everyone will naturally have a share, and the three Great Khans not only can't control the field, but because it is possible to eat more and occupy more of it, they have become the target of public criticism. As a result of the quarrel, everyone felt that Dajinong was more reliable as an outsider, and let the people of Dajinong do the things of collecting taxes and dividing money, anyway, the Khalkha people had degenerated to the point where they only knew how to rob money and did not know how to collect money, and as for the "Order on the Protection of Private Property" was even more welcomed, and some people even advocated turning the "Order on the Protection of Private Property" into a Khalkha decree, so as not to beat them up with the powerful nobles for their bad ideas. The Khalkha people almost completely accepted the aid program of Fengzhou, and it was impossible to repay the money without thinking about it, and in order to facilitate the repayment of the debts in the future, they also unanimously advocated supporting Dajinong as the "Khan of the Khalkha Khan".

In the past few days, the great lamas of Fengzhou, Ordos, Chahar and Khalkha have also gathered at the Naturalized Silver Buddha Temple to discuss how to integrate the power of Lamaism - Lamaism has long been like a plate of scattered sand, and lamas and nobles have no scruples about touting each other's titles of honorific titles, so that there are so many Khan kings and eminent monks that the authority of Lamaism has almost been lost. Although the Lama has repeatedly advocated the unification of religious authority and the restriction of the indiscriminate issuance of honorific titles, no matter how old his qualifications and prestige are, he cannot cross the line.

However, the news of Jin Khan's proclamation as emperor frightened the lamas, who were suppressed by Chahar Khan before, and they were able to accept Jin Khan, but now Chahar Khan is dead, and there are new heroes in the steppe, Jin Khan is naturally abandoned and becomes a barbarian who believes in shamans in the mountains and forests again. At this time, the idea of re-proposing the unification of religious authority and unanimity with the outside world was recognized by lamas everywhere, and the Khalkha Lama also became a staunch supporter of the Khalji Lama - Tushetu Khan received Li Yu's assurance that he would definitely give his son a decent honorific title, and the future Khalkha Grand Lama was still his family.

The lamas who attended the meeting naturally also had gains, and after a few days of bargaining, they all became the most virtuous lamas, and in the future, the lamas must be elected by their public deliberations to obtain the honorific title, and the other lamas privately conferred or accepted the honorific title are not recognized, and the power to approve and grant the honorific title is handed over to the commander of Fengzhou - no way, who is the most powerful, if he does not admit it, it is useless to give you a high honorific title. The lamas also made an important decision to give the commander of Fengzhou the honorific title of "Protector and Adjudicator of Mongolia, Hutuktu Batulu" in order to raise the banner of anti-Qing rebellion.

The Khalkha and the lamas approached the Great Commander's Office and told them their respective opinions, and the officials of the Great Commander's Office accepted it when they saw it, and the covenant was signed in the shortest possible time, and the Council voted to pass it immediately - the threat of the Qing Empire was imminent, and no one could afford to delay time, and the anti-Qing alliance composed of Fengzhou, Khalkha, Chahar and the forces of the lamas was formally formed.

On the tenth day of the first month of May, Li Yu and the three Khalkha Khans swore an oath of black cattle and white horses by the Heihe River, Fengzhou and Khalkha formally formed an alliance, and the Qierji Lama awarded Li Yu the honorific title of "Mongolian Defender and Adjudicator, Hutuktu Batulu" on behalf of the lamas, and the Khalkha Three Khans on behalf of Khalkha awarded Li Yu the honorific title of "Khalkha Hutuktu Baturu, Khan of the Khans". Li Yu swore an oath to accept the honorific title of "Mongolian Defender and Adjudicator, Hutuktu Batulu", and did not deny the latter two, but no matter what he thought, from this moment on, the banner of Mongolian anti-Qing was officially handed over to him, and unless the Qing gave up every piece of Mongolian land occupied, he could only fight to the end.

After taking the oath of alliance, the two sides appointed trade ambassadors, and Fengzhou transferred Qianhu Itak of Dongsheng Left Guard to be the trade ambassador to Khalkha, this person came from the line of Lady Zhongjin of Altan Khan, and Batu and Namur had been taught by the Qiuerji Lama together, and his ability was not bad, and the trade ambassador to Fengzhou appointed by the Khalkha Three Khans was not surprising that he was a merchant Dege. Li Yu also generously gave each of them a hundred horses, two leather cannons, three thousand iron-headed arrows and three hundred stone of grain, and paid the first loan of 30,000 taels of silver, the Khalkha three Khan reaped enough benefits, and selected a thousand Khalkha elite cavalry to be trained by the Fengzhou army, Su Butai and some young nobles wanted to stay in Fengzhou to study, this cavalry was just handed over to them to lead, and then hurried back - the Qing Emperor was insidious and cunning, but he could not let him take advantage of the situation to sneak into the lair.

Sent away the Khalkha people, the Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce was jubilant, everyone high-fived each other, this business made a lot of money - 100,000 taels of silver banknotes is nothing, a lot of paper only, and the annual interest rate is five cents, pay off within five years, how can there be such a stupid businessman, this huge amount of money will soon become cattle and sheep to double the earnings, let the Khalkha people let go of the money, as long as the silver money is addicted, you can't run out of our palms, 300,000 people, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, large areas of land and minerals will bring how much wealth! Khalkha has already been done, who is next? The Ming Kingdom is too big and can only come step by step, and it seems that the Great Qing Kingdom is also about to take the bait.

The more depressed is Liu Zhilun, the governor of the Ming Dynasty is just a decoration in Fengzhou, everyone knows that he is a good person, and no one disrespects him, the problem is that he can't solve the actual problem, so he can only be put aside. This time the Khalkha people visited, Liu Zhilun instinctively thought of asking the imperial court to summon the Yi people to Beijing to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, in order to show the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and the four Yi, Fengzhou officials were taken aback by this absurd idea, and begged the old man not to come to disturb the situation. Li Fugui also threatened Liu Zhilun, don't confide a word to the court in this matter, otherwise it will embarrass the court - summoning Yi people into Beijing, who dares to guarantee that more than 2,000 Yi people will not have trouble entering the customs, ignore them, Yi people worship the general soldiers of the border town but do not worship the Son of Heaven, where is the face of the court? It's better to pretend you didn't see it. After Liu Zhilun thought about it, he simply stayed at home every day to teach Xiao Li Jin to read, and ignored the outside affairs.

Less than ten miles east of naturalization, there is a tall building standing on the side of the Heihe River, different from the kind of Shanxi dwellings built of wood and bricks common in Fengzhou, it is made of bluestone, there is a huge patio inside, there is a solid skirt wall outside, the perimeter is nearly half a mile long, it seems to be a plurality of large buildings connected together, but it seems to be a whole, magnificent, the main body of the building is reinforced and supported by stone stone, the top is dome-shaped, the wall is huge and thick, there are many narrow windows, and each edge of the skirt wall stretches out a semicircular platform two zhang highAt present, only the first floor has been built, which is more than three zhang high, and it is still being repaired to a high place, and it is said that it will be built three stories high - this is the Catholic church that Gao Yizhi and Han Lin built in the style of Taixi for more than a year, but the naturalized people think that it is an impregnable fortress.

Gao Yizhi was lying on the bed in the bedroom, his eyes staring at the walls on all sides - for this church, he ran around, asked priests who were skilled in engineering to design drawings, collected money from wealthy believers from all over the country, and asked the Toyosu Prime Minister to allocate craftsmen and laborers in the name of teaching Taixi skills.

"Alfonso, the Grand Commander has come to see you." Wang Zheng, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, whispered.

Li Yu entered the door and glanced into the room, Na Mu'er, Han Lin, and Ma Guangyuan, who believed in Western religion, were there, he walked to the bed, held Gao Yizhi's hand, sat down, and whispered a few greetings.

"I asked the medical officer, you can't continue to be tired, I'm ready to drive, you will go back to the customs tomorrow," Li Yu saw that Gao Yizhi was still hesitating, and then pointed to Han Lin and continued, "Brother Yu is still here, leave the matter of building the church to him, I have ordered five hundred strong people from the auxiliary army camp to come and listen to it, there should be no big problem with labor, I may be able to allocate some money at the end of the year, don't worry, if you come back in a few years, the church will definitely be repaired." ”

"Thank you, child, but I always feel that I can't come back after this time," Gao Yizhi nodded, suddenly his eyes turned red and almost shed tears, wiped his eyes and said, "But it doesn't matter, the Jesus Church promised to send people, maybe they are already on the way, I wrote to them that the people here are very kind and need to hear the gospel of the Lord." Hermes-Epitek, you are a good boy, and Lama Zerji is also a good person, and with your help, I have the opportunity to fulfill my last long-cherished wish for the Lord, but I can't believe that when I first came, there were only a few dozen believers here, and when I left, there were nearly 20,000 baptized believers, and 30,000 or 40,000 people were willing to believe in Jehovah. ”

"You will definitely be able to come back, the people of Fengzhou can not forget you, in our most difficult time, you brought the gospel of God, so that the poor people of Fengzhou can get inner comfort, you also make Western learning take root and blossom in Fengzhou, and bless the people of the world, without your teachings, maybe Fengzhou will embark on the old road of the Ming Kingdom like the Jin country, the people of Fengzhou will always thank you, we will pray for your peace." Li Yu clasped the old man's hand and said, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"I'm leaving, but there is a saying I still want to say, the Chinese have always said that there is no two days, and the Ming Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom will fight until one of them falls, but hatred and violence will never solve the problem, no matter who wins or loses in the Ming Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom, it will start with violence and will end in violence, and the only thing that can solve the disputes in the world is the reason and love that the Lord has given to mankind, strengthen your faith, and believe that Jehovah will bless Toyosu." Gao Yizhi said, his two eyes staring at Li Yu all the time.

"I understand that reason and love are the most powerful weapons in Toyosu, I assure you." Li Yu stood up and replied solemnly.

The next day, Gao Yizhi left Naturalization in a car escorted by a team of cavalry, Li Yu led the Fengzhou officials and thousands of Western believers to send him across the Heihe, and the Qierji Lama also rushed to see off this old pagan friend, and kept telling him not to forget to come back to see, but the seventy-year-old man was already in his last years and had no strength to return to this land, and died in Jiangzhou in April of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen.
