Chapter 795: Gabala Bowl, Human Head Instrument......
In July, the head of the fourth king of Burma, Horn Ya, was sent to Chen Ming. But it was no longer a 'human head' in the ordinary sense, but just a skull of Bai Sensen, a gabala bowl made by Tibetans, that is, a skull bowl, a human head vessel.
The war in Burma can be declared won.
Of course, the native regime in Burma had not yet completely perished, and Meng Yun ran to Arakan and was supported by the British. The British obviously did not want to completely border China, they needed a barrier, they needed a 'quarantine zone', so the British chose mediation.
They hope that China will recognize Mengyun's status, and they do not have the luxury of China to withdraw from Burma, but only hope that the Irrawaddy River will be used as a style line that extends north to northern Upper Burma, and its western part includes Arakan, which accounts for about one-third of the whole of Burma. This area is under the rule of Meng Yun, and China and Britain enjoy exactly the same rights and interests in this area.
This negotiation is ongoing.
For Chen Ming, this is a new choice question, he originally wanted to destroy Burma in one fell swoop, but the intervention of the British made him see a new 'road' - he can completely let Meng Yun act as a target, as much as possible to attract people from the old country in Myanmar, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of China ruling Burma, and when he starts a fight with the British in the future, Chen Ming does not think that a little Meng Yun can be used as a fart.
At the end of May, the Siamese army invaded Ava, and Horn Tooth abandoned the city and fled. When the news of the British's intervention reached Chen Ming, Meng Mang, the other arm of the horned teeth, had just been killed by the Siamese.
Then, what was funny was that the Siamese army, the Shan army, and the 5th Mountain Infantry Brigade went down to chase after him, but they couldn't catch him. If it weren't for Meng Yun's intentions, the troops under his control refused to enter Arakan, and Horn Tooth would have 'led' the Burmese army to fight again.
But he died at the hands of a Tibetan militia who came to make soy sauce.
The latter is only a part of the large subordinate structure of the logistics unit, and the most experienced people in it have only fought shotguns in the mountains, and have been eliminated from the training camps of the mountain infantry, and none of them have ever been on the battlefield properly. The first time they escorted the quartermaster to Ava, they came across the hapless baby of Horn Tooth on the way. Braised the horn tooth and several Burmese ministers accompanying him.
It has to be said that people are born in terms of competing for credit, and after the identity of the horn was confirmed, the nearest Fifth Mountain Infantry Brigade and the 19th Division, the big thick leg of the logistics unit, launched a fierce competition, and finally involved the southern Yunnan border guards.
And during this period, the Tibetans also played a trick, and then the head of the teeth became a wine bowl in front of them. Chen Ming didn't know if the mountain troops and the people of the 19th Division had broken down when they heard the news. It has to be said that the Tibetan people are very skilled in making wine vessels with heads.
The wine bowl in front of Chen Ming was completely indistinguishable from the traces and appearance of the human skull, and it became golden and beautiful.
But no matter how beautiful the appearance is, it can't hide the brutal and bloody facts.
"It's really barbaric......" Liu Dezhao next to him sighed.
Chen Cong, Pang Zhenkun, Liu Wu and other important civil and military ministers also nodded with concern.
The cruelty and barbarism of the Tibetan people, the bloodshed of serfdom, in the past, although they received many reports, they only heard about it. Now, the facts are in front of us.
All the good impressions of Tibet were erased from their impressions. They really can't accept the human head, what age is this, and there are still people playing this?
Is this still 2,000 years?
Knowledgeable Liu Dezhao, Wang Huizu, Pang Zhenkun and others even thought of an unlucky baby - Zhao Yun of Song Lizong, this unlucky emperor when the Mengyuan Tantric monk Yang Lian Zhenjia stole and excavated the tomb of the Southern Song Emperor, because the body was soaked in mercury when it was buried and had not yet decayed, the tomb robbers dragged his body out of the mausoleum and hung it upside down in the woods in front of the mausoleum to drain the mercury. His head was then cut off and made into a drinking vessel, which was sent to the ruler of the Dadu Mengyuan, and his torso was burned.
This is really tragic to the extreme, and I am afraid that Song Lizong never expected it before his death.
Later, his head was not found in the imperial palace of Dadu until Zhu Ming's army captured Dadu. Zhu Hongwu learned of this, "sighed for a long time", sent someone to retrieve the head of Li Zong, Hongwu was buried in Yingtianfu (Nanjing, Jiangsu) with imperial rites in the second year, and the skull of Li Zong was buried at the site of Yongmu Mausoleum in Shaoxing the following year.
Now that 500 years have passed, the monkeys are about to be released, and the memories of the past are already very vague, but the Tibetans have reminded them of this bad memory with their incomparably real and practical actions.
Gabala bowl, also known as Toba, is a kind of skull bowl made of human skull, also known as the internal cranial offering device, human head device, is the practice of the "Supreme Yoga Tantra" to hold the empowerment ceremony of the ritual of the ritual of the Dharma, is one of the ritual vessels of Tantra.
Hehe, how could this make the Manchu civil and military forces present not think of the old things of the past.
"Idiot, idiot!" Zhang Jia III is now neither in the Imperial Palace nor in the Yanshou Palace, but has gone to the Dabao'en Temple in the west of the city. Although the two are not in the same lineage, the sectarian dispute has faded into the current era of China.
The conflict of interests between the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism overseas is expected to be fierce, and Nanyang is fortunate that the area of missionary preaching has been demarcated, but Nanming and North America are still two uncultivated virgin lands, and the struggle between them is already a little bit of a sign of rising.
Myanmar and Annam are the territories of Buddhism, and Japan and Korea are also places where Buddhism has a deep influence. In order to increase their influence and strength, the Taoists could only advance into the newly opened immigration areas.
Otherwise, in this once-in-a-lifetime great change, Taoism will still weaken Buddhism.
Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Eight Banners believed in Tantra, even by the time of Yonglaosi, Buddhism and Taoism in China were introduced to the upper level little by little, but for the sake of stable rule, even if Yonglaosi himself took pills and hung up, the Manchus were still vigorously inhibiting the development of Buddhism and Taoism.
In the Han Dynasty, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism also ended the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism that broke out for the last time in the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, the old Zhu family produced so many emperors who wanted to cultivate immortals, and the Taoists who embarked on the route of the elite experienced the last glory, and after a flash in the pan at the end of the fourth period of Yonglao, it completely withered.
However, Middle-earth Buddhism is not Tantra, and as the representative of the latter in Chen Han, one of the real power figures in the sect administration, Zhang Jia III, who had a good friendship with the Chen and Han royal family, is trying to persuade Chen Han to let Tantra go to India to preach.
Zhang Jia III's reliance was that Emperor Chen had given him a promise that the Mongolian and Tibetan issues would be resolved smoothly, so that Emperor Chen owed Zhang Jia III a favor, and he would repay this favor. In other words, Zhang Jia III and the tantric sect represented by him have made great contributions to Chen Han's solution to Mongolia and Tibet, and Chen Han will not let the meritorious heroes work in vain, and they will be rewarded.
And Zhang Jia III now has his eyes fixed on India, and he feels that because of the social environment, traditions, and sectarian influences, Tantra is far more suitable than the monks of Middle-earth to follow the Wehrmacht back to his hometown in India.
It was all going well, but a skull covered a wine bowl and ruined it all. This scene brought an extremely shocking impact to all the people present.
In the past decade, the words 'raising tigers for trouble' have never been detained on the heads of Tibetans, but the Mongols have been more or less wary of the Han Chinese, after all, too many years have passed since the glorious days of the Tibetans.
And the Mongols have been in the corner of the general trend of the world for hundreds of years.
However, these 'four words' have never caused shocks in the past few years, whether it is the Tibetan land where Zhang Jia III was born, or the Mongolia where he worked, in the eyes of many Han people, it has become a thing of the past.
The power of muskets, artillery and fortresses has been proven by countless realities.
When the danger of Mengzang was fading, and when they changed from a wild wolf to a domestic dog, Zhang Jia III felt that everything was going in a good direction. But today's scene threatens to ruin his efforts over the years.
"Is that idiot's idea? Do you feel like you're living your life too freely? ”
The punishment in Tibet, to be honest, was somewhat bloody. Even Zhang Jia III himself felt that it was a little too much. However, Chen Han turned a blind eye to this, and at least in the traditional Tibetan area, Chen Han also gave some respect to the Tibetan Kashag nobles and Tase.
But whether all this is still the case after today, Zhang Jia III does not dare to guarantee.
Suddenly, a somewhat funny sentence echoed in Zhang Jia III's mind, not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates. Zhang Jia III, who was just purely feeling that this sentence was funny before, now thinks about it and sighs: This sentence is really right.
This 'work of art' in front of me uses the most basic facts and truths to tell all the important ministers of Chen, Han, Wen, and Wu who have seen it: how big the differences and differences between Huayi are, and how terrible, brutal and bloody the 'Yi people' are.
This thing in front of me really reminded everyone present that Tibet is still a region with different cultural customs from Middle-earth, and the customs and culture here are not purely exotic beauty, but also bloody and cruel, with a lot of differences between the Central Plains and the Han Dynasty.
Is Chen Han now going to assimilate well?
Koreans, Japanese, Nanyangs, and the Ryukyuan people in the future, the Annamite people, as well as some whites and Kazakhs, so many Yi people can be brewed by Chen Han to sinicize when the name is not right, Tibet is Chen Han's territory, so why can't it be sinicized?
In short, this tradition and custom in Tibet made many of the civil and military dignitaries present shudder and could not accept it. They knew very well how poor the Tibetans' force was, and that even the small Gurkha states could send some troops to beat them, and such a nation had almost no threat of force to the Han land. However, in the minds of Chen Cong, Liu Dezhao, Pang Zhenkun and others, a scene of a vice-Tibetan ruling the Central Plains involuntarily emerged.
That might have done more than the Manchus, right?
China overturned, Shenzhou sank, civilization was destroyed, and the country was ruined. White bones, thousands of miles of no one; Blood is shed everywhere, and human life is as cheap as mustard!
This kind of brain supplement made all the civil and military ministers present unable to tolerate and accept the 'current situation' in Tibet!
Even if it is a slave, the master cannot decide whether she lives or dies casually.
Even the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when he was in the middle and late stages of Kang Mazi, beating and killing slaves and servants was also a crime after the incident. But what about the customs of Tibet? Many people have remembered the punishment in Tibet, and the fault is not that it was directly stranded by the emperor, otherwise it would have caused an uproar. The punishment there is excessively bloody, cutting off hands and chopping feet and gouging out people's eyes at every turn, as well as skinning people alive, human skin books and human skin drums can become magic weapons, and compared with the skull wine bowl in front of them, it is simply beyond people's ability to accept.
Chen Ming didn't treat the thing in front of him as a treasure, he felt a little disgusted, although he didn't do it. After pondering for a while, Chen Ming instructed Zhang Dayong: "Go and send this thing to Zhang Jia III, and do whatever he wants!" ”
Chen Ming sighed slowly, he couldn't hide this matter after today, not to mention the reaction of Nanjing City, just say that if the Burmese knew that their king's head was smashed open and his skull was made into a wine bowl, then he wouldn't be very Tibetan.
And China has played a flattering role in this.
The Burmese will certainly hate the Chinese by the way. Even hate the Han people more than they hate the Tibetans, because their country is ruined, and that is what Chen Han single-handedly promoted behind his back.
Hatred without power is meaningless and cannot last. If the plan to sinicize Myanmar goes well, even if Myanmar can set off a restoration movement a hundred years later, it will be of the same nature as the restoration movement in Hawaii, the original plane of time and space. Even the Ryukyu Restoration Movement is much more likely to succeed than theirs.
But it's always a hassle, isn't it?
And in the final analysis, this is also a piece of 'filial piety' of the Tibetan people.
It's just that this is a hidden danger after all, unlike four or five thousand years ago, just like the war of the deer back then, who dares to say that there is no Jiuli gene in the Han bloodline? Chiyou is also the ancestor of the Han people, but not only a god of war, but also a soldier ancestor.
In the pre-Qin era, different ethnic groups merged into the current Han people, but now there are still a few Han people who will feel righteous indignation after the myth of one ancestor of another ethnic group The ancestor of another nation has been dismantled.
"Send a decree to Zheng Xin, and I will allow them to act cheaply in Burma for a month. There is only one month, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the soldiers and horses of the Southwest Military Region will march into Burma. At that time, everything will be subject to our army's military regulations and military discipline. If you dare to offend the military journalists, you will be severely punished. ”
Chen Ming said such a thing very coldly.
He threw most of Myanmar to Zheng Xin for a month, and how traumatized Myanmar would be after a month, Chen Ming didn't need to think about it, and the civil and military ministers around him didn't need to think about it.
But if the Siamese really retaliate, they are using China as a meat shield and actively attracting the hatred of the Burmese people.
This will make Myanmar a mess, countless Burmese will be killed and robbed, at least countless Burmese will be killed and robbed, and a large number of Burmese will flee to Arakan. Myanmar's land area is already good, it is located in the subtropics, there are many rivers, and there is a lot of flat and fertile agricultural land, and these Burmese people are really leaving, dying, and being robbed as slaves, which is a great help to Chen Han.
As long as Chen Ming didn't use cold-bloodedness and cruelty against his own people, there would be few objections to his decisions. The current court of the Chen and Han dynasties is not popular with the 'Holy Mother Sect'.
The Siamese have paid a lot of casualties to gnaw at Myanmar, and this month's 'free ride' is also a reward for the Siamese.
It's a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.
It can not only satisfy the Siamese people, but also allow the Burmese to divert the target of hatred, and also free up a lot of open space, so that more people who miss Burma can vote for Arakan......
"This can also give the imperial court an additional benefit." Chen Ming still had this sentence hidden in his heart and didn't say it. After Zheng Xin made a fortune from Burma, as long as his brain was not trampled by elephants, he would definitely send a part of it to Nanjing as filial piety. At that time, not only will the Ministry of Finance have an extra income, but the Imperial Palace Ouchi may also have a good harvest.
In addition to the jadeite mines in Shan State, Myanmar is also a gemstone source, especially rubies and sapphires. Presumably, these will not be missing in that filial piety.
As for China's harvest after the capture of Burma, even if part of it was cut to Siam and part was left to Meng Yun, the overall benefit was still amazing, at least four Zhejiang large. There are large areas of plain arable land and forest resources.
If Chen Ming is not mistaken, Myanmar was the world's largest producer of teak, and teak was one of the best shipbuilding timber before the advent of steel warships.
If the same shipbuilding technology, the same size of warships, China's sail warships do not have the resistance of Europe, it is really not a matter of the level of craftsmen, but more because of the wood.
Many of the European warships were oaked, but China did not have that condition. And now that Myanmar is included, the shortcomings of China's warships may be able to make up for it in the coming decades.
