It was a figure who changed the history of the Qiang people, and his influence on the Qiang pond lasted until a thousand years later, because of the arrival of that person, the land was not fully integrated into the Han cultural system, even after a thousand years.

And now, this famous figure in the original history has died at the hands of Sorami.

Then the historical trajectory of the Qiang people on the plateau will be completely changed.

So Ma Lan was very happy, and for the sake of this credit, he decided to spare this monk again.

After all, he didn't assassinate himself in the end.

Tonight's General's Mansion was brightly lit, it was late at night, and it was extremely quiet everywhere.

Ma Lan stood up, a smile of excitement appeared on his face, he took a deep breath of cold air, and his heart was suddenly relaxed.

Turning his head to look at the gray-haired monk, Ma Lan smiled slightly: "Monk, is the master you are talking about called Padmasambhava?" ”

Sorumi looked up at Ma Lan, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Looks like I guessed right." Ma Lan smiled.

……

Tianzhu monk Padmasambhava, a figure who changed the history of Tibet, has a profound impact on the Qiang people on the plateau.

On the basis of the original history, after the death of Qide Zuzan (ruler belt Zhudan), Trisong Detsen ascended the throne as Tubo Zampu, and soon after, Tianzhu monk Padmasambhava entered Qiangtang from Nepal, and won the trust of Qide Zuzan after arriving in the city of Luo, and it is also said that Padmasambhava was invited by Trisong Detsen to Nepal.

This Padmasambhava was a man of great wisdom, and when he came to Tibet, Tibet had already been influenced by Buddhism, but the original Bon religion in Qiangtang was still dominant, and after Padmasambhava arrived in Latta, he promoted Buddhism with the support of Trisong Detsen, and soon attracted many believers. These Buddhists are pitted against the devout Bon. To the point of extreme seriousness, both sides carried swords as they walked through the city, and drew their swords at the slightest disagreement.

There were many ministers who believed in Bon, and many people advised Trisong Detsen to drive Padmasambhava back to Tianzhu, but Trisong Detsen did not listen. Later, the contradictions between the two factions became more and more intense, in order to calm the contradictions. Padmasambhava proposed to Tsangpo Trisong Detsen to settle the dispute through debate and determine the status of Buddhism and Bon in Tibet, and Trisong Detsen agreed.

The Bon sect sent several of its strongest lamas to the battle, and the result of the debate was naturally a great victory for Padmasambhava, Buddhism officially established itself in Tibet, and the Bon were suppressed. Later, Padmasambhava recruited many disciples and built Samye Monastery, so it can be said that there was no Padmasambhava. There was no later generation of Tibetan Buddhism.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was sluggish, but the old enemy of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, seized this opportunity to rise and seized a large amount of land in the Tang Dynasty, not only captured the four towns of Anxi, swallowed the entire Western Regions, but also recaptured the source of the river, and then continued to encroach on the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The forces even penetrated deep into the hinterland of Guanzhong and coerced Chang'an. "Hewei melon and tra eyes are not seen", "Sixty years of white grass and yellow elm", "Peacetime Anxi Wanlijiang". Today's frontier defense is in Fengxiang", which is a historical portrayal of this period.

With the prosperity of the Tubo army at that time, the Tang Dynasty can be said to have reached the verge of extinction, discarding the entire Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor, and the border is only more than 500 miles away from Chang'an City, which is really at a critical moment of survival.

"Last night, the soldiers avenged the country. Shazhou is all protected by Liangzhou. The nine songs of the Yellow River are now returned to the Han Dynasty, and the blood of the battle outside the Saiwai is flowing! Zhang Yichao took advantage of the rebellion to recover Guasha, which was a great feat of the remnants of Hexi after the Anshi Rebellion, and it has been talked about so far, but after all, it was short-lived. The land west of the river was lost soon after, and it was held in his hands again hundreds of years later.

With the strength of Tubo's Dingkou, in the end, it failed to destroy the Tang Dynasty, but instead flourished and declined, and died suddenly after reaching its peak, decades earlier than the demise of the Tang Dynasty. The reason for this, if it is calculated from the roots, is actually attributed to the head of Padmasambhava.

It was precisely because of this person's arrival in Tibet that the religion of Tibet was divided, and a dispute between Buddhism and Bon arose arose. Although Trisong Detsen strongly supported Padmasambhava and elevated the status of Buddhism, Bon was deeply rooted after all. Because of the disputes between these two major sects, there were also constant disputes within Tibet, and Zampu's influence gradually weakened, and he gradually lost control of Qingtang and other places. The Tibetan Dynasty failed to finally destroy the Tang Dynasty, and the sectarian dispute was a great factor.

If there was no Padmasambhava coming to Tubo, it would be very likely that the monolithic Tubo would have destroyed the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, and then history would have changed beyond recognition. The entry of the barbaric Tibetans into the Central Plains would be a complete disaster for the Han civilization.

However, Tibetan Buddhism, after all, was founded by this man. Since Tibetan Buddhism took root on the Qiangtang, the Han civilization has no chance to envelop the Qiangtang.

Padmasambhava brought Buddhism to Qiangtang and established the status of Buddhism in Qiangtang, which gradually replaced the position of Bon because of the support of successive generations of Zangpu. Later, Bon also replaced Zampu's support and began to liquidate the Buddhists, but it immediately led to civil strife and the eventual demise of the Tibetan Empire.

After the fall of the Tibetan Empire, Buddhism still occupied a dominant position in the Qiangtang, but in the conflict with the original Bon, it also integrated some elements of Bon, thus becoming unique, and finally formed the Tibetan Buddhism of later generations. The system of monks being worshiped by the common people was also established from the time of Padmasambhava and continued to influence thousands of years later. Even in Ma Luan's previous life, the people of this land still spent a lot of wealth on worshipping monks.

Compared with the mysterious, simple and somewhat bloodthirsty primitive Bon religion, the Buddhism brought by Padmasambhava is undoubtedly a more advanced religion, which can also be said to be a civilization, which took root on the Qiang pond, and after the change, it enveloped all the Qiang people's regions, that is, the so-called Greater Tibet in later generations. Since then, the expansion of the Han civilization has been blocked from the plateau. Like the Western Regions in later generations, Qiangtang in later generations was also a more troublesome place.

Now history has changed, the history of Qiangtang has changed, the Han civilization has come to cover this land, but the footsteps of Tianzhu monk Padmasambhava appeared on time on Qiangtang.

For Ma Lan, in fact, it is not important whether the Tang Dynasty perished, but more important is the expansion of Han civilization. After all, there is no empire that can last forever, only civilization can be eternal. Padmasambhava came to Qiangtang, which objectively delayed the demise of the Tang Dynasty in the original history, but he did not have a good impression of this Tianzhu monk because of this. For him, the appearance of this high monk on the Qiangtang is a major hidden danger to the expansion of Han civilization.

After all, Padmasambhava is Padmasambhava, and after arriving in Qiangtang, he easily persuaded the Qiang people to convert to Buddhism, and if he connected all the persuaded Qiang tribes, it would be an extremely powerful force. With Padmasambhava's ability, it will be much more troublesome for Datang to solve it. However, in the end, this situation was something that Ma Lan did not expect.

Originally, the famous Tianzhu monk Padmasambhava in history was actually lost in the hands of an unknown Kongjian monk in history.

When a person is killed, he dies, even if he is a great monk.

A great hidden danger was unconsciously eliminated. If Kongjian does not say it today, this matter will be annihilated in the wind and sand of history.

Of course, this time is different from the past, Datang occupies too much advantage in armaments, even if Padmasambhava unites the Qiang tribes, it will still not be able to change the fate of these Qiang tribes in the end, but Datang will have to pay a lot of price to conquer the Qiang tribes that are hugging each other. Zero casualties are impossible, after all, this is a snowy plateau, and Kongjian's move, if it saves the lives of thousands of Han families, it can be called a great merit.

This is the value of empty vision poisoning, and this is the greatest contribution made by this Tang Dynasty monk to the Tang Dynasty.

……

"That master from Beitianzhu, his name can indeed be called Padmasambhava, but I don't know how the general knows his name?" The gray-haired old monk looked at Ma Lan with an extremely surprised expression.

Ma Lan just arrived in the surrendered city today, the monk has been dead for a few years, and very few people know his name, Kong Jian really can't understand why Ma Lan actually knows the name of the monk.

"Well, hehe...... Ma Lan clenched his fist lightly and smiled excitedly, "That senior monk is right, I do intend to go south to Tianzhu, so there are some things that have been prepared for a long time." The master you are talking about is a big trouble in my eyes, but now he is dead, it is really the best, monk, you have made meritorious service! ”

Naturally, he won't tell Kongjian the truth, and he can't say to this monk, I am a person from the next generation, and I know these things from reading. So he can only be vague in the past, he has already decided not to kill Kongjian, naturally he can't tell him the truth, if he decides to kill him, it doesn't hurt to tell him the truth.

After the death of the lotus, the history of Qiangtang completely left the original track and entered the design of Ma Lan. The moment when the Han civilization completely envelops this plateau will come soon.

"Monk, you may not understand how important your contribution to killing that person is to my Datang. You are a Tang man first, and a monk second, and your merits are enough to offset your sin of assassinating me, so this time, I decided to spare you once, you don't have to die. Looking at Kongmi, who had a look of astonishment, Ma Lan smiled slightly.

At this time, he was really happy. When he learned that Padmasambhava had gone to the plateau, he was actually shocked. Kongjian killed Padmasambhava, this credit is real, this is the hero of the Tang Dynasty, and he made great efforts for the Han civilization to finally envelop this land, since he is a meritorious person, he naturally will not kill it.

"You...... Don't kill me? The old monk looked at Ma Lu, "What about the matter of the Southern Expedition to Tianzhu?" (To be continued......)
