Baita Temple, Beijing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Sitting on the familiar meditation bed, the surging in Zhang Jia III's heart could not be calmed down for a long time. As the oldest and largest tantric temple in Jingshi, Zhang Jia III is definitely no stranger to this place.

When he left Beijing, Zhang Jia III thought that he would never come back. Because the Qing army was defeated too badly!

Yonghui still thought that he was patient and learned, and the Qing Dynasty would have a future, but Zhang Jia III had no confidence at all. But the willows are bright, he just has a flash of inspiration and thinks about it from a different angle, and things are completely different. Relying on the Mongolian Four Leagues behind him, the Kazakhs, and the Guisui Sixth Hall [Tumut], he Zhangjia III is not only back now, but also returned to Beijing at the 'respectful invitation' of Prince Chen Han. Haha, back to the White Pagoda Temple he is familiar with!

Everything went so smoothly, four of the six Inner Mongolian alliances jumped off the Manchu ship, although all this has only just begun, and no one dares to guarantee what the bilateral relations will develop in the future, but at least now Mongolia has not hurt the fundamental losses, and the Fu Han army has also recognized this existence.

The situation has developed so far, the Mongols on the steppe have lost no less than 30,000 cavalry before and after the battlefields of Shaanxi, Central Plains, and Zhili, and for the Mongols whose population is getting smaller and smaller, the loss of 30,000 adult Ding Zhuang has been very wounded. Although the Mongols submitted to the Chen Han, the status of the Mongol princes was not as noble as before, and there were no rewards. Even the titles on their heads, whether Chen Han admits it or not are two different things. It is even more unlikely that the emperor of Chen Han would have come to the prairie once a year from Nanjing. But the whole of Mongolia at least kept its own vitality!

For Zhang Jia III, this is enough!

After all, the situation is stronger than the people.

Everything in the future must be left to the people of the future, and all he can do is to maintain the interests of the Mongols for the moment, so it is a great blessing. Throughout history, whenever the Central Plains was dominated by the Han people, the grassland peoples of Saibei did not get along with the Central Plains Dynasty for a few days, but the times have changed. The Jin Ge Iron Horse can no longer crisscross the Central Plains as it did in the past, and the cannon and musket are the real force.

Zhang Jia III knew a lot about the several battles since the Northern Expedition of the Fu Han Army, and I have to say that the glory of the steppe cavalry has dimmed.

In the future, don't say that it is a siege, it is a field battle on the plains, and the steppe cavalry will not be able to gnaw at the infantry of the Han army.

Zhang Jia III now recites scriptures to Emperor Yongzheng and Emperor Qianlong every day, but he never talks about it to outsiders.

"Hutu Ketu, the prince of the Han people is willing to take refuge in my Buddha for Tantra?" A big monk next to him asked.

Zhang Jia III replied: "The prince of the Han people respects Buddha and does not believe in Buddha. "There are not a few tantric monks who have seen Chen Ming, but there is only one tantric monk who has really talked to Chen Ming, Zhang Jia III. What is the greatest support for these monks? Not gold and silver, but the king's 'piety'!

It's a pity that Chen Ming was a standard atheist in his previous life, and in this life, because of his awe of 'crossing', he also respects the gods and Buddhas of the heavens. But that's not much to believe. Otherwise, how dare he do that to monotheism!

Britain, France and other countries asked to set up consulates in Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places, and Chen Hui had agreed, but for the freedom of mission requested by the Jesuits, the Chen family father and son all had one opinion - refusal. Chen Hui is proud of the country, and Chen Ming is in the spirit of 'discrimination'.

Zhang Jia III now does not expect to fool Chen Ming, think about Chen Ming is young and vigorous, in power, leading the world, boundless scenery, such people have no 'tradition' edification, such as Qianlong Yongzheng, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has believed in Buddhism since Shunzhi, although he also believes in monotheism, so the following Kang Mazi, Yonglaosi, Qianlong, have certain attainments in Buddhist doctrine, especially Yonglaosi.

And in the history of the Han people, how many heroes and heroes in their prime will believe in Lao Tzu's Amitabha? Without experiencing the friction and blow of time, and not feeling the shadow of death, who will worship a mass of vanity and a mud tire wood carving? Even the descendants of Zhu Hongwu, who was born as a monk, are more of a believer in Taoism. Compared with the high-spirited Chen Ming, Zhang Jia III's eyes have already looked at the heroic Chen Hui.

As far as he knows, Chen Hui's health is not good, and there are many rumors in the world - this person is lustful. Think about it, ten children have been born in a few years, and they are nearly half a hundred years old, so such a 'performance' is really amazing enough. Isn't that going to be hollowing out your body? In the future, if you can restrain one or two in women, there will still be some years to live, otherwise I am afraid that my life will not be long. And this kind of person is the best prey of Zhang Jia III.

At the same time, in the Old Summer Palace, Chen Ming didn't think about the words of the gods and gods of Zhang Jia III during the day. He had the right to fart for those words. Chen Ming's mind was thinking about his future plans for Mongolia!

In the future, there will definitely be a big war between the Fuhan army and the Russian army. The Mongols were of great use, and even relied on their Chen Ming to recruit the Tatars, that is, the Buryats, who came to Siberia.

The vast steppes of Inner and Outer Mongolia are their homeland, and if the Mongols are not pitifully small in number, all added together to only a million people, even if the era of cavalry is about to pass, Mongolia is also a force to be reckoned with.

Now the biggest problem of the Mongolians is that there are few people, just like the original Huang family, just like the current Huang Song, a single seedling on a thousand acres of land, and the small life is precious, so it is naturally unbearable to fight to the death. The Mongols had already shed a lot of blood for the Manchus, and the death of 30,000 men in the middle of the wars had already made the hearts of this nation with a total population of only a million people.

Now some Mongols have chosen to submit, and there will be more Mongols in the future. But how to digest these Mongols, Chen Ming is not ready to learn the Manchu Qing Dynasty's set of harmony. His daughter is baby, so he won't marry on the prairie to endure hardships. Before and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although the Mongols were trained very tame for more than 100 years, and vigorously promoted Buddhist Tantra, and only sacrificed a bunch of princesses and some money, but a problem could not be ignored. That is, whether it is those Mongol princes who bow their heads, or the Mongols underground, the Mongols or the Mongols.

They are not Manchu, nor are they like the rapid sinicization of Manchus. Even the Chahar Mongols and Tumut Mongols, who completely deposed their banner powers, continued to maintain a deep Mongolian flavor in their speech and behavior and living customs.

Chen Ming wanted to convert the Mongols, and in the future he was going to enter Central Asia and North America, and he would use the Mongols at that time. In North America, the Mongols, as cavalry, did not stake their horses too fast.

Russia, Central Asia, North America, look at these places, the role of the Mongols cannot be underestimated, even if North America is deducted, only talking about the problems of Russia and Central Asia, the Mongol Chen Ming must be detained.

Since Horqin and they want to live and die with the Manchus, then they should be destroyed directly. Now that he has reached Chen Ming's bowl, he has to take good care of these Mongolians. As for the hatred between Meng and Han, it is impossible to say that Chen Ming doesn't mind at all in his heart. But it is also unlikely to say that it will deal with Mongolia like it did with the Eight Banners. Let's take one step at a time, and maybe in the future there will only be Mongolians in China, and there will be no Mongolians.

So how to change the Mongols?

First of all, it is necessary to find a way for the Mongols to make money under the current conditions. Raising horses, sheep and cattle is one thing, and wool is the second way he found for the Mongols to make money. The vast majority of China's woolen fabrics are imported from the British. In this case, he would be a fool if he left the Mongolian steppe, which is convenient for animal husbandry, and did not make use of it.

"Your Highness." Liu Wu's voice came from outside.

"How's it going?"

"Your Highness, there are many sheep in all the Mongolian flags. The nomads outside the Saiwai began to shear their sheep as early as the Han and Tang dynasties. They can't do without blankets and felts in their daily lives. ”

"Is there anything woven into cloth?" Chen Ming meant wool imported from the UK.

Liu Wu didn't speak, but took out several pieces of cloth, and waited for Chen Ming to take it and look at it carefully before saying, "Your Highness, this warp and weft are too big, and the thread is too thick. "It's completely different from the woollen fabric of the foreigners.

Chen Ming's eyes narrowed, and he said in his heart. He remembered which novel, when the author was about to do Mongolia, a reader gave the author ideas for wool spinning. Using the wool of the Mongols, a relatively balanced economic cycle was formed between the Mongols and the Hans, and as a basis for existence, the Mongols were pulled into the ditch little by little. As a result, the book review area was sprayed and sprayed, and one after another popular science party shouted: Mongolian wool is too short to be spun. [Don't align it]

Chen Ming just looked at it and passed over at that time, and he didn't ask Du Niang. If you want to see it, what those popular science parties said is true.

"Why the hell do you need to introduce sheep breeds from the West that can prevent spinning." Chen Ming vaguely remembered that this thing had a proper noun, but he forgot it, and could only call it this sheep that could prevent spinning.

"Hemp eggs. In addition to the introduction of horse breeds, now even sheep breeds are being introduced. After Liu Wu retreated, Chen Ming scolded very unhappily. He really didn't believe that China really couldn't find wool that could be woven into it, but it would undoubtedly take a lot of effort and a long time, and it was obvious that he didn't need to waste so much experience to find this thing in China. Because he can import it from Europe! Robin Lustig of the Swedish East India Company and François Philippe Perrier of the French East India Company would bring him everything he wanted, as long as Chen Ming was willing to give real money.

These two countries are now more useful to China than the British. Because they have no political interests in the East, they are completely pecuniary interests, and Chen Han is short of money, will he lose so much silver? Hundreds of thousands of silver dollars have been able to sweep the whole of Europe in modern scientific and chemical works, as well as all kinds of machinery. But this bit of silver is too small compared to the expenses of the entire Chen Han for a year. The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is just a random dew between the fingers, and it is enough for the Swedes and the French to fart happily. As for whether the leaked silver fell into the hands of the two of them, or into the hands of the company behind them, Chen Ming didn't care what he was doing!

"Your Highness, Gao actually asked to see you."

The latter is now the chief of the police department in Beijing, and Boss Yu, who walks in the sun openly, stunned the Chaoyang men who don't know how much they have returned to Beijing.

"Your Highness." Gao Jingcheng followed the guards and soon came to Chen Ming's eyes, and saluted respectfully. Then listening to Chen Ming's simple 'say', Gao Jingcheng gave a detailed report on the actions of the North Korean party in one day today.

There is more than one Zhang Jia III in the current Beijing city that needs to be paid attention to, and even the coal mountain, which has been changed back to its original name, is also surrounded by the Fu Han army to the front and back, and it is extremely vigilant. Because the first queen of North Korea suddenly arrived, in the name of paying tribute to the Ming Emperor, Chen Ming couldn't stop him.

"Your Highness, Jin Jichong, Ding Zaiyuan, they ......" Gao Jingcheng was very impatient with these two guys now, "Why don't you let them rest for a few days?" ”

These two guys went to Beijing to swagger through the city, that is, to build momentum for North Korea. And the crown prince Chen Ming is now obviously going to solve the problem in the northwest first, and Gao Jingcheng is sure that Jin Jizhong and Ding Zaiyuan's bones are broken, and they don't know what's going on.

"No, I don't. Let them continue. ”

Things in North Korea have been stalled there for a long time, and the forces of the 'two monarchs' are not much different, and most of the remnants of Lee Joseon have gathered around them, so it is time to move forward with the next step. The competition between these two groups is fierce, but the fight is still only in words, this is not good, they have to do it.

After Gao Jingcheng retreated, Chen Ming picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Nanjing.

"There are no two heavens and no two people, and the throne of Joseon is vacant, so now it is time to choose one......"

This is to throw out a meat bone and let the two dogs fight for it. Although the Fu Han army had to transfer its forces to attack Shaanxi, and then to clear the localities, the pressure on the Manchu Qing to participate was sharply reduced. But the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also greatly injured, shouldn't the Korean rebels behave at this time?

However, there is no hurry to do this for a while, and it is not too late to throw it out when the North Koreans have stirred up the momentum.

Chen Ming's letter also roughly described his feelings of contact with Zhang Jia III, this Zhang Jia III is indeed going to get on Chen Han's big ship, in today's conversation, in addition to those Amitabha Buddha, very detailed for Chen Ming to describe the various forces in Qinghai, Outer Mongolia and Tibet.

Especially Tibet. With the strong support of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Tatsuse, one of the two great leaders of Tantric Buddhism, played an increasingly important political role, while Ban Tang consciously detached himself from secular affairs and focused only on religious spirituality. At present, the rule of Tibet has been systematized, and the monasteries of the Gelugpa and other sects have a certain amount, and the number of monks has been stipulated, the organizational system and economic system of the monasteries have been established, and the people of the monasteries have been inventoried, and each monastery manor has paid a certain amount of rent in kind to the Gelugpa monastic group. At the same time, the land and serfs in Tibet were divided into three major parts. 1. The one that was given to monasteries and high-ranking monks was called "Choxi", second, the one that was given to secular nobles for possession was called "Gexi", and (3) the one that was given to the local government of Tibet was called "Xiongxi". These are the three 'lords' of Tibet.

However, it has only been more than 20 years since the abolition of the secular government in Tibet, and the rule of Tantra has not yet developed to the point of completely overpowering the secular world. There are three lords in Tibet, and below the three lords are the four great debens. That is, there are four super families, namely the Gexi family, the Duoka family, the Tunba family and the Sangzhu Pozhang family. Although the Four Great Debens obeyed the rule of Tantra, it did not mean that if the Fu Han army wanted to replace the Manchus as the new suzerains of Tibet, they only needed to focus on Tantra. The four great Debens, as well as the great nobles such as the Xiaza family and the Para family, also need to be won over by the Fu Han army.

There are many of these things, and Chen Ming has heard of them for the first time.

……

Just as there is always a turbulent dark tide surging under the seemingly calm river. A pool of stagnant Tibetan land should not be taken lightly.

At the same time, the same is true in Hebei under the rule of the Fu Han Army, when millions or tens of millions of ordinary people are not aware of it, the Hebei Salt Industry Company has been established, and salt shops have appeared one after another in county towns and towns, and the price of salt in Hebei has plummeted by half. Therefore, when the common people were happy and rejoicing about this, they did not find the entire Hebei salt merchant group centered on the Changlu Salt Farm, and many large and small salt merchants had been cleaned up by the Fu Han army.

According to the past behavior of these people, either they were safe and sound, or killed, punished, or confiscated their family property, and the Fu Han army had hundreds of thousands of acres of land in their hands and millions of taels of silver. The entanglement between the Changlu salt merchants and the Manchu government was no less than that of the Yangzhou salt merchants, if not more. Because this site is closer to Beijing, many people can't help but stretch out their hands. Now the storm has swept in, and the ground is full of flowers.

This is also because many salt merchants fled before danger came. The salt merchants who were fortunate enough to survive this turmoil held less than 30% of the total amount. (To be continued.) )
