Chenghua Temple is Xining to preach here the great lama stick Gazar Shen through the unification of the imperial court, led the monks and lay names in the name of the glorious lama temple built here, in the Agu Bai rebellion, he led the monks to crusade and conquest, Altai area for a clear, Kobdo Counselor Minister in the past long hid in the Thousand Buddha Temple to avoid the search of the Agu Bai rebels, after the pacification, Kobdo exhibitors on the excerpt for the Chenghua Temple Lama Gong, Tongzhi Emperor personally wrote the plaque "Thousand Buddha Temple" to the stick Gazar Shan Da Lama, the Thousand Buddha Temple area, Because of the peace of the place, many Mongolian, Tibetan Hui and Han tribes depended on the Thousand Buddha Temple to live, and the emperor also took this place as the jurisdiction of the Great Lama, following the example of Tibet, and did not collect taxes here for the needs of the Great Lama. The great lama of Bang Ka Zal Sen has a pure temperament and does not take tax collection as a profit, so that there are more business and trade contacts, and for a time it is known as the land of desert arctic happiness.

The Great Lama is very respectful, and repeatedly invited the Counselor Minister to send officials to Chenghua Temple to manage government affairs, saying that he has no heart to stand on his own in a country, last year the Great Lama entered the court, and was welcomed by the government and the opposition, and the emperor issued an order to imitate the examples of the living Buddha Lama before and after Tibet to receive the Great Lama. Not only for the sake of merit, but also for the ability of the Stick Kazar to fight against the Russians.

At the beginning of the establishment of Chenghua Monastery, it has been resisting the invasion of Tsarist Russia, and between the three years of Tongzhi 10 and 13 years, the Altai area has been harassed by more than 30 Tsarist Russian careerists.

Therefore, when the Great Lama left Beijing, the emperor issued a decree to canonize the Great Lama of Ganggazar as the living Buddha of Chenghua Temple, and gave him a gold seal and a golden treasure to be allowed to be reincarnated. It is in the Lama Temple, the Lama's Temple renovated by the Yongzheng Hidden Mansion to sit on the bed and make a ceremony. When the Grand Lama left Beijing, the military headquarters sent a large number of muskets and artillery pieces for the purpose of "maintaining law and order."

"He is a monk of the Chinese, why did he come to Russia to preach!" The general subordinate to the governor of Turkestan, the executioner of the three khanates, Sikobelev, was furious. "Damn the Chinese, they actually sent so many rabbits on the steppe to flock to Russia!"

These were not docile rabbits, but wild dogs with steel teeth, and their eyes were bright, and they could only pick up soft persimmons, and they had powerful muskets, and all kinds of firearms of various countries could be seen in the hands of these people. Although it looks like a ragtag army, the firearms are still very sharp. The Cossack cavalry, who were proficient in traditional combat methods, were not very familiar with firearms tactics, and gradually fell behind.

If these people are not afraid, but there is still the governor of Xinjiang who is still watching everything coldly at the border, "That damn old man is like a stinking and hard stone in the sea," Sikobelev cursed, he had repeatedly sent envoys to the governor's office to make his position clear, and he would never let the Russian army enter the Chinese border again, but the dead old man would not budge. "I have promised that I will never enter China again, why. He won't stop yet! ”

The clerk who reported the work secretly complained, if your words can be believed, then the Chinese must be pigs. Ruthlessness is your specialty...... But at this time, Sikobelev was by no means lying, the situation in Kokand changed three times a day, and most of the leaders at all levels of the big tent and the small tent watched and watched, and more followed the lord of Kokand to launch an offensive! And that's not all. The Bukhara Khanate and the Khiva Khanate sent envoys to Xinjiang together to predict their submission, but fortunately they were intercepted by cavalry, but this had to be guarded against, and the two khanates were far from China. Now that there is a slight carelessness, the rule of the Turkestan Governor's Office in the Caspian and Aral Sea regions will surely fall apart. Everyone knew the Tsar's thirst for territory on the mainland, and the Tsar would not spare those who spoiled his appetite, including the Governor, including himself. The thought of eating snow in Western Siberia in the future made him tremble, "Letter to the Governor-General, is there any news from him?" ”

"I just told you about this," the clerk frowned helplessly, "Your Excellency the Governor has to suppress the Kazakh tribes who are about to move, and you also have to deal with the people from the Turk Special Department, and now the monks of Chenghua Temple have been added, as you know, the Tatars all believe in Buddhism, and the Governor is afraid that the monks of Chenghua Temple will go abroad to preach, which will affect the stability of the northeast of the Governor's Palace." ”

Skobelev raised his hand, "My God, have you ever seen a monk preaching with muskets and cannons!" ”

North of the Altai mountain pass, although it is not a fertile pasture near the left side of the Tianshan Mountains, but the spring is full of joy, the vitality is still vigorous, there is a big road winding to the sky in the grass, the two sides of the road are full of people, the five bodies are thrown to the ground, everyone holds a white Hada in their hands.

The sound of drums sounded, under the banner wavering, many monks wearing red lama clothes with folded hands folded, chanting Buddhist scriptures and embracing the innermost big lama towards the north, the big lama was not sitting on the throne, I saw him wearing a bright yellow dragon pattern monk robe, bare feet, showing compassion, walking towards the north on foot. A tribal leader who was lying on the side of the road saw the great lama walking past him in the wet muddy water, and couldn't help shouting, "Buddha, please step on my back and let me escort you!" ”

"It doesn't have to be like this," the Grand Lama stopped, bent down to take Hada from the leader's hand, and hung it around his neck, "I came from the south and came here to preach, I heard that the officials in charge of this place are unwilling to let me come, and have set up layers of obstacles in front, I am not afraid, but I am afraid of delaying the Buddha's decree, you are all affordable people who believe in the Buddha, I hope you can do it conveniently." ”

The noble man was overjoyed when he saw the Living Buddha take over his Hada, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Abide by the will of the Living Buddha, the little one is willing to open the way for the Living Buddha, and kill all those who stand in the way!" ”

The chief ordered, his tribal warriors led the horses, followed around the lamas, and walked towards the north, the leader repeatedly asked the great lama to get on the horse, the great lama smiled and refused, still measuring the land here with his feet, slowly, more and more people gathered over, kneeling and praying for blessings and offering Hada, the great lama's Hada became more and more, the original panicked expressions on people's faces gradually calmed down, and gradually became excited, and everyone gradually formed a torrent, crushing all those who dared to block, impact.

Walking and stopping, I walked to a market, and the person in front of me who inquired about the news reported that a person who looked like a Taoist priest stood in front of him and waited for the great lama, saying that he wanted to meet the great lama, just to say a word. (To be continued.) )
