Chapter 1231: First there was the Heavenly Khan, then there was Greater China
Chengde Summer Resort, Qinzheng Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
July 6, 1864. The grand court meeting scene was once again staged today in this summer resort where the puppet Qing emperor took refuge in the summer and met with the leaders of Mongolia and Tibet. The people who came to worship were the same as those of the puppet Qing Dynasty, all of whom were living Buddhas in Tibet and the leaders of the Mongolian tribes such as Mobei, Monan, and Moxi. It's just that the scale is bigger than ever, because our great son and Tengri Khan was probably the first Mongol Khan to unify Mongolia in hundreds of years, even though he was not really a Mongol. There are now a total of 433 Mongol tribes subject to Zhu Jishi, covering most of the Ming Empire, the Kazakh Khanate, and the territory of the East Siberian Company. The total population is as high as 4.53 million, according to the records of the Ministry of Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs! There were thousands of princes and nobles who were entitled, and the people who were summoned to Chengde this time were all dignitaries above the earl level and lamas with the title of Living Buddha, a total of 1,542 people. Now, except for the five highest-ranking county kings and the four living Buddhas, they are all waiting here for Zhu Jishi's reception.
With so many people, the small Qinzheng Hall couldn't be squeezed, and most of them were standing in the square outside the main hall. Looking down from a high place, there is a red one, either the red Daming official uniform or the red monk robe of Lamaism. Emperor Daming has not yet come, but there are still Mongolian nobles and great lamas outside the main hall in the main hall, but none of them dare to make a noise. All of them were honestly basking in the sun in July, and even if they sweated on their heads, they could only secretly wipe it with a handkerchief, but no one dared to find a cool place to rest. was afraid of upsetting the great tomorrow, so a holy decree came down and took the title and life.
The atmosphere of the Curritai conference this time is very abnormal! Before the conference, bad news had already been blown. Tian Khan wants to mix all the ethnic groups into one, and he wants to abolish the Mongolian name, and there will be no more Mongols but Chinese in the future! And that's not all. Tian Khan also planned to implement the policy of entering China on the territory of the Mongol tribes. It is also necessary to change all the nomadic tribes into settled animal husbandry, and all tribes who are unwilling to enter China will be allocated barren land and left to fend for themselves! Anyone who is willing to enter China will be given a land of abundant water and grass.
As for those who want to resist. Then wait to be wiped out by the army of the Heavenly Khan, and then the Heavenly Khan will ride their horses. Sleep their beautiful wives and concubines! With the current armed forces of the Mongolian tribes, even if they are added together and multiplied by two, they will not be able to defeat the steppe army of the Ming army. Therefore, no Mongolian tribal leader has the courage to confront the Heavenly Khan, but there are always some people who are reluctant to hand over the tribal people and go to Nanjing and Beijing to become a rich man. Now they are only hoping that the five county kings and the four living Buddhas will come out and say a few words for them......
“…… What I mean is that since you compare me with Genghis Khan, then I will do what Genghis Khan did and create a nation. Before Genghis Khan, there were no Mongols in the world, and at that time, hundreds of tribes were juxtaposed on the steppe. The Beggars are just one of them. If Genghis Khan had not overwhelmed the crowd, unified the steppe, and created the Mongol race, how could there have been the prosperity of the Mongol Empire? Today, my empire is much larger and more powerful than the Mongol Empire of the past, and my achievements are far from being comparable to those of Genghis Khan. It's just a matter of mixing Zhuxia into one and creating a great Chinese family. ”
It was naturally the Ming Emperor Zhu Jishi who was talking in the smoke and rain building of the Chengde Summer Resort. There are many nations in the world that were founded by one or two great men, and the Mongolian nation was founded by Genghis Khan. The so-called Genghis Khan first and then the Mongols refers to this. Now Zhu Jishi wants to follow his precedent and mix with Zhuxia to create the Chinese nation, and there is nothing that cannot be done. Anyway, today's East Asian ethnic groups. Most of them do not have a strong sense of nationality, and it is not too difficult to integrate. Actually, this thing is national consciousness. It is the result of artificial propaganda and indoctrination. The nation is something that can be artificially created through propaganda and education and certain interest arrangements. A certain party in later generations can create a lot of golden flowers, and the current Emperor Zhu can certainly create a great Chinese nation in the same way.
In order to create the Chinese nation, of course, we must first look for a backbone of national identity and ideology...... For example, language, writing, culture, historical values, etc., should be based on this backbone, and then incorporate some elements of other ethnic groups. Long-term propaganda and education, or brainwashing, can also be used.
At the same time, it is necessary to eliminate in a timely manner the national consciousness of independence of the various ethnic groups that are integrated into the Chinese nation. Because national identities are often unique, not multiple. There are very few people in the world who identify with two or three peoples at the same time. At least Emperor Zhu didn't think he had such a powerful brainwashing ability. So after mixing the East Asian ethnic groups into the Chinese nation. The original concepts of Han, He, Mongolian, Korean, and Ryukyu ethnic groups must be eliminated.
In the Yanyu Building, he was listening to Zhu Jishi's great truth. It is the king of the five counties of Mongolia, the king of Zasaktu, the king of Tushetu, the king of Chechnya, the king of Saiyin Noyan and the king of Yili; There are also the four great hutuktu of Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Lai, Panchen Erdeni, Jebtsundamba and Master Zhanggyal. In addition, there are Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan and Zheng Yongyi, the minister in Tibet.
As soon as Emperor Zhu's words were finished, Lama Lai immediately took over the topic: "The emperor's words, I and the Yellow Sect will not obey them. From now on, there are no Tibetans in the world, and the people of the snowy plateau are all Chinese. ”
This Lai is the eleventh * Kaizhu Gyatso, oh, now called Zhu Gyatso. He left Tibet 12 years ago to live in the Central Plains. As the head of the Yellow Sect, he has always followed the Ming Emperor and never returned to Tibet - Zhu Jishi rearranged the status, inheritance and responsibilities of the four great Hutu Ketu of Tibetan Buddhism. Among them, Lai is still the supreme religious leader, but he can no longer stay in Tibet, but must follow the Ming Emperor and be ready to ...... Uh, slay the demons! In addition, the lineage system of the Lai Lama is also completely controlled by the Great Tomorrow Son, and the search for the reincarnated spirit child and the casting of lots in the golden vase, as well as the final determination of the new generation of Lai Lai, must be approved by the Ming Emperor to be valid.
Under the D-lai, the three major Hutu Ketu respectively controlled the three major Tibetan Buddhist dioceses of Tibet, Qinghai, Mobei Mongolia and the Western Regions. Among them, Panchen Erdeni was in charge of the affairs of the Yellow Sect in Tibet and Qinghai, Jebtsundamba was in charge of Mobei Mongolia, and Master Zhang Jia was in charge of the Western Regions. The reincarnation of the three great khutuktu is the responsibility of the Lai Lama, who also has the right to promulgate a decree to deprive any of the three Hutuktu of the right to administer the diocese and even to seclusion him in Beijing and Nanjing. The three major Hutu Ketu have the right to decide on the affairs of the Yellow Sect in their respective jurisdictions, including the identification of the reincarnation of the lower living Buddhas. In short, it is a pyramidal structure of the religious management system.
And now the Lai Lama's statement is, of course, discussed with the other three Dahu Tuktu. Compared to Mongolia, Tibet is less important, and the snowy plateau is not an easy place to live. Zhu Jishi did not intend to disturb the life of Tibetans for thousands of years. Therefore, the entry of Tibetans into China was only a formality in the short term, and now Emperor Zhu is only concerned with the sinicization of the Tibetan upper class.
"That's very good." Zhu Jishi nodded slightly, and then set his eyes on several Mongolian princes.
"The order of the Khan is obeyed!" The king of Tushetu County, Cheling Gelzi, was the first to bend down and respond loudly.
Among the five Mongol kings, the leader was this Chelingerzi, the father of Zhu Jishi's Mongol concubine Oyuntana, whose original fiefdom was on the Mongolian plateau, and now moved to the Kazakh steppe. Nominally, it governed hundreds of thousands of Mongol herders in the territory of the Kazakh Khanate. However, this was only in name, and the Mongol tribes, with the exception of his own 200,000 or so people, were governed by their own nobility. And even under his own clan, there are hundreds of "vassals" with the title of Ming nobles, and these people are all vassals of the Great Tomorrow, not the vassals of him, the king of the Mongolian county. In fact, it was not under his jurisdiction, and all he could really control was more than 20,000 people directly under his subordinates. Where is there still the strength to compete with the Ming Emperor Tian Khan Zhu Jishi? And the four Mongolian princes who are about the same status as him are the same, they have all been dismantled and deployed by a "Vassal Law", and their strength is probably not as strong as that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! In fact, the real obstacle to Zhu Jishi's promotion of Mongolian entry into China was not these Mongolian nobles, but how to help the Mongols in the steppe, who had been deceived and lame by Tibetan Buddhism, out of poverty, which was not an easy thing to achieve......
