Chapter 800: Re-election of the Living Buddha
A large number of Praetorian Guards poured into the city of Lhasa, and then Lhasa was full of Praetorian Guards. At this time, Lhasa was actually just a small town. Because Tibet has always been the province with the smallest number of Chinese, even after more than a hundred years, it is only more than 3 million people, even fewer than many cities. In later generations, Lhasa only had more than 500,000 people, which was even less than the number of people in many county towns. In Lhasa, Tibet, at this time, the number of people was only a hundred thousand. And many of the more than 100,000 people are serfs, and now they are all here to eat pot pulp to welcome the king.
"We really didn't expect that we would get so much preferential treatment here! This is all a happy welcome to the king, even if we are in the country, there are almost none! Li Guodong sighed.
Li Guodong really didn't expect that when he arrived in Tibet, he would be able to gain the support of so many people, even in the place of the Han people, there are not many.
"General, these are what we snatched from those landlords' houses, please accept them, these are some of our hearts!" Immediately, some Tibetans came over to welcome them.
However, those ordinary Red Police soldiers will not accept it, only those officers will accept it. And those ordinary things and some meals, ordinary officers will also accept them, but those valuables must not be accepted, because they have military discipline. And now the whole of Lhasa has become the world of those serfs, and those former slave owners and those monks have also begun to prepare to be disposed of by Li Guodong, and they are now all prisoners. And Li Guodong soon came to the largest palace in Lhasa, Tibet, which was later known as the Potala Palace.
"General, this is the Potala Palace, this is the place where the DALAI Living Buddha lives, and should we go in next?" Immediately, an officer staff officer asked.
And this time. A group of people immediately came out of the Potala Palace, and then they immediately knelt down one after another.
"GENERAL, GENERAL, I AM DALAI, A LIVING BUDDHA IN TIBET, AND WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MASTER WANG FOR A LONG TIME. We have been waiting for Master Wang for too long. A monk said.
However, the staff officer next to him immediately replied: "Commander Li." THIS IS THE DALAI, THE SUPREME RULER OF TIBET. And he is the living Buddha of Buddhism, he holds the highest power, and these are also in his hands. The Kashag government is just his men, so this guy is actually the supreme ruler of Tibet. This rebellion must have something to do with him. ”
"General, you have been wronged! I didn't have this idea at all, it was all the Kashag who forced me! I'm just a religious leader, and I've always practiced meditation here with peace of mind. He has always been a lama, how could he possibly do such a rebellious thing? And this Tibetan area is all in the hands of the Kashag, and I don't have any power at all! I'm just a place similar to you Han people, just an ordinary old monk, nothing special! DALAI SAID QUICKLY.
This DALAI obviously knew how Wang Guorui dealt with the rebels, especially the leaders. It is certain to be killed, and there is no possibility of forgiveness. So he tried his best to clear himself of responsibility. And then he would never say that he was the de facto ruler of the Tibetan region, and he wanted to build himself into a religious person with no real power, so that he would not have much power like the religions of the Han region, so that they could continue to live here. As for not being able to engage in politics in the future, he is not too worried. Because as long as he has mastered religion, he can do it. If he has religion, he can also have a lot of power, so he can still get a lot of benefits.
Li Guodong looked at this young man who was about to be in his twenties, and then a sneer appeared in his mouth. How did this guy come about. Li Guodong naturally made preparations before the expedition, this guy was born twenty-five years ago, and then the Manchu court allowed him to be exempted from the so-called golden bottle lot, and he was directly appointed. The Manchu court actually controlled the so-called living Buddha of Tibet relatively strictly, not only when the living Buddha was reincarnated, it had to carry out the process of casting lots in a golden vase, and only after obtaining the permission of the Manchu court could he really become a post. In addition, a minister in Tibet was appointed to supervise it.
In this way, the central government's control over Tibet can be strengthened, and then it can gradually gain control of Tibet. In the past, the so-called DALAI in Tibet was elected by themselves, and then almost every DALAI was born into the aristocracy, so you can imagine what was going on. However, the later Manchu Qing control method was actually quite good. Even in later generations, these means are available. But at the moment, this DALAI in front of me is definitely problematic.
A FEW DECADES AGO, THE MANCHU QING'S CONTROL OF THE LAND DECLINED, AND THEN THIS DALAI TOOK OFFICE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE PROCEDURE, SO THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT IT IS NOT OF THE SAME MIND WITH HIMSELF, AND EVEN WITH THE MANCHU QING. More than two decades ago, the Manchus were no longer able to exercise much control over Tibet.
"Are you an ordinary old monk? THEN WHO ALLOWED YOU TO BE THIS DALAI? Li Guodong asked.
AND DALAI IMMEDIATELY REPLIED: "I HAVE BEEN ALLOWED BY THE QING COURT......"
"Wait, the Qing Dynasty in your mouth is the court of the invaders, not our court of China. Therefore, you have accepted the canonization of the pseudo-imperial court, so you are a traitor! Come on, pull this guy down for me and put on trial! Li Guodong said.
Li Guodong is worried that he has no chance to clean him up, since this guy admitted that he was canonized by the "Qing Dynasty", then don't blame Li Guodong for cleaning him up. And then, Li Guodong immediately thought of a reason, and then he immediately announced that the so-called ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth DALAI in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past, as well as those ****, were all illegal and illegal. They all defected to the Manchu court, the invader, so they were also traitors, so they had to be tried.
NEXT, THEY WILL REPORT TO THE IMPERIAL COURT, AND THEN PREPARE TO RE-SELECT DALAI AND ****.
This idea was sent back to Beijing through a telegram, and Wang Guorui saw this telegram and nodded his head.
"This Li Guodong did a good job, although this DALAI must be killed, but we can't blindly abolish that Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism is still deeply rooted there, and its centuries-old rule is not fake. The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, especially this kind of ideological thing, they have been deeply rooted, not to say that they can be solved casually. It has to be suppressed slowly before they can be gradually transformed. If we use violence to solve ideological problems, there will definitely be problems in the end. ”
"It is very abnormal and immoral to use violence and power to resolve ideological and academic disputes. If we use violent means to abolish this Tibetan Buddhism today, then we will certainly have people in the future who will violently interfere with religion and even interfere with the progress of various ideas. Especially in the European Middle Ages in the past, didn't it also hit those technological developments? It is useless to use violence, and in the end it will rebound. Therefore, it can only be solved slowly, so that they can gradually return to normal. ”
And Kang Tongwei, who was accompanying Wang Guorui next to him, and then his belly was already obviously a lot bigger, immediately continued: "Husband, I think we can actually do this, just follow Li Guodong's method, and select another so-called DALAI, so that we can support a puppet to go up, and he doesn't want to listen to us." In fact, any religious scriptures, and various ancient scriptures, in fact, many can be interpreted in far-fetched ways. The same was true of the Confucian classics at that time, many of which were actually carried out by later generations in the name of Confucius for their own interests. What Cheng Zhu Lixue, as a result, women wrapped their little feet, and all kinds of stereotypes and bad habits also came out. Poor, how could Sage Confucius advocate binding his little feet back then? There are many more, and in the end, aren't they all pushed to Sage Kong? ”
Wang Guorui also shook his head, this is actually a so-called classic, which is explained according to the ideas of those in power. What kind of explanation is conducive to their rule, and naturally there will always be a reason. Anyway, the meaning of this Chinese word is too complicated, and it can be solved by the mouth of an official, and it can be solved by the mouth of those literati class. However, later generations believed that Confucius caused it. But the conscience of heaven and earth, where did Confucius say this, and why did Confucius say that the country is closed and closed? How did Confucius say that you should wrap your little feet? These are all "brain supplements" by countless literati because of their own interests. As a result, later generations also resented Confucius, believing that Confucius had harmed China for thousands of years.
In fact, it is all nonsense, which is nothing more than those with vested interests who distort the meaning of Confucius, or "make up their brains" in places where Confucius cannot explain in detail, and then conform to their own interests, and finally get a lot of so-called ideas out of context. In the end, in later generations, everyone also resented Confucius for letting China be implicated for so many years.
"WE CAN ALL SUPPORT A DALAI UP SO THEY ALL HAVE TO LISTEN TO US. AND THEN WE LET THAT DALAI INTERPRET THE SO-CALLED CLASSICS ACCORDING TO OUR IDEAS, SO THAT WE CAN EASILY GAIN CONTROL OVER THOSE THOUGHTS, AND THEN GRADUALLY DIG OUT THE BACKWARD THINGS IN THEIR MINDS? In the end, we might as well arrange for that DALAI to die by himself, and then die from generation to generation, so that DALAI will not have much prestige, and that's fine. Kang Tongwei said.
Wang Guoruiding nodded: "That's right, this is the kind of means, and then gradually eliminate the status of Aung Dalai in the minds of the people in Tibetan areas, so that they can truly belong to the country." (To be continued.) )
