Time continued to flow forward, and the time soon came to August of the twenty-second year of Wucheng, and the government and the opposition were still discussing the ownership of the storage position, but Zheng Kezhang did not leave all the books, and the hundred officials who couldn't figure out their minds had to slowly stop, give up the illusion of gaining the merit of support, and honestly wait for Zheng Kezang's decision. Of course, some sensitive officials have already sensed something from the change in the attitude of Zheng Andi and Zheng Anyang when they studied government affairs, but if Zheng Kezhang did not announce the answer for a day, the final result was uncertain, so there were still people who wrote in the newspaper for a long time, thus forming a confrontation between the "Lixian faction" and the "Lichang faction" in public opinion, and the two sides fought a big lawsuit, which led to a new round of blowouts in various newspapers.
On 17 August, a big piece of news suddenly replaced the controversy between the "Lixian faction" and the "Lichang faction" and made the headlines of various newspapers in a grand manner: Lobzang Tenzin, the hereditary king of Haixi Prefecture and the head of the Heshuo Special Division, sent troops to Lhasa in the name of escorting the reincarnation of the 6th Dalai Lama, and seized the right to rule from the Dzungar people.
Will the Heshute people re-grasp ** cause a large-scale war between China and the Jungar Empire? Will the domestic situation, which has only been calmed down for a few years, become turbulent as a result? The "people of insight" all loudly scolded Luo Buzang Tenzin for his audacity, but they did not know that they were actually deliberately provoked by the governor Yamen.
On August 19, according to the establishment of the Governor's Yamen, the Chinese court canonized Luo Buzang Danjin as the king of Tubo County and the Khan of Tibet, and assigned his hometown in Qinghai to Chahan Danjin and Erdeni and others who did not enter with him, so as to weaken the power of Luo Buzang Danjin and make him unable to get rid of the fetters of Huaxia, and could only act as a pawn of Huaxia to control zhì**.
It was only in view of the ambitions that had been exposed by Lobzang Danzin, so at the same time as appointing Lobzang Danjin as the Khan of Tibet, the Chinese court also announced that the reincarnation of the major living Buddhas of the Yellow Sect would adopt a system of casting lots in a golden vase. It also stipulates that the Dalai Lama's golden vase casting ceremony will be held in Chengde and Lhasa at the same time, the Panchen Lama's golden vase drawing ceremony will be held in Chengde and Shigatse at the same time, the golden vase drawing ceremony of Zhangjia Hutuketu will be held in Chengde and Labrang Monastery at the same time, and the golden vase drawing ceremony of Jebtsundamba Hutuketu will be held in Chengde and Kulun at the same time. Unless the selected spirit children clearly harm the interests of China and Mongolia and Tibet, there will be a fierce conflict today
Although the Chinese court did not have a permanent minister in Tibet at this time, but with the close relationship between ** and the hinterland in the future, and finally after the invasion of Gurkha (Nepal) completely wiped out the armed forces of the Tibetan Khan, the forces of China naturally controlled the roof of the world, however, these are later words.
As far as it is now, China has not really been involved, so there is no direct conflict with the Junggar Empire, the so-called ** change of hands, is just an ordinary dispute between the two Mongols over the territory, the Tibetan Khan as the original owner to ask for his own territory has a natural right, and the dying old Dzungar Tservan Alabutan Khan has to worry about whether the ** change of hands is the prelude to the Huaxia all-out attack on Jungar, but also to take into account the difficulty of fighting in Tibet, Therefore, not only was the decision to send a large army across the Kunlun Mountains a long time ago.
Is it difficult to sit back and watch ** return to the hands of the Heshute people? After thinking about it, Arabutan Khan finally decided to send an envoy to talk to the Huaxia side, which was to spy on the reality of Huaxia and try to restrain the expansion of Huaxia's power, so that he could complete the transfer of power in Jungar in a peaceful environment.
The decision of Alabutan Khan was unacceptable to his son Galdan Tsering, but the vigor of the young man could not change the decision of the old Khan, so on November 17, the 22nd year of Wucheng of Huaxia, the envoys of Xia Zhun and the two countries held diplomatic negotiations on related issues in Luoyang Prefecture, Xijing, China.
"For Huaxia's support for the invasion of Lobzang Danjin**, our Khan King is extremely dissatisfied." At the beginning of the meeting, the Jungar envoy unsurprisingly raised the first question. "Our country asks your country to restrain Lobzang Tenzin to withdraw immediately, otherwise, our country will definitely go straight into the ** army and destroy it in one fell swoop."
"Messenger, do not be ashamed." Liu Wenruo, the host guest of the Governor Yamen who represented Huaxia in negotiations, was unmoved. "Although the Tibetan Khan is a vassal of our dynasty, he is not an official of our dynasty after all, and it is not an order from the imperial court that can make him do what he wants." Liu Wenruo paused. "Besides, ** is the foundation of the ancestors of the Tibetan Khan, and your country was also taken from the hands of its peers, it is not easy to judge which is not my dynasty, the only thing to do is to match the two sides"
"Do you want us to talk to Lobzang Tenzin about the ownership of **? There is simply no need for this. "Someone in the Jungar mission unceremoniously interrupted Liu Wenruo's words." Since your country admits that you cannot persuade the Heshuo Special Department to withdraw, then this matter has nothing to do with your country, and our country will raise troops to recover it. ”
Ba Zhixin, the host of the Governor's Yamen, the director of the Western Regions Division, smiled slightly: "** Bitter disease, that is, a little obsession of Tibetan Khan, why should your country make a big deal about it, you must know that the danger of illness and war, the rabbit is anxious and bites, or harmony." ”
The Dzungar people responded silently, and it took a long time before someone spoke: "Our country asks your country to prohibit the import of weapons into **. ”
"It can't be." Looking at the face of the Zhunger people who had changed color resolutely, Liu Wenruo explained lightly. "The Tibetan Khan is a vassal of this dynasty, and he used real money to buy weapons from my dynasty, and in the case of a small number, my dynasty has no reason to refuse the Tibetan Khan." Liu Wenruo added in an understatement tone before the other party became angry. "And even if you promise your country, your country can't confirm whether we have imported weapons to **."
The Dzungar people discussed each other, and a messenger got up and said: "Maybe your country is right, my country is indeed unable to supervise whether your country has sold weapons to **, so our country can not be held accountable in this regard, but I hope that your country can sell artillery and other weapons to our country without discrimination." ”
"It can't be." Ba Zhixin refused again. "There is still a possibility of conflict between your country and our country, and under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for our DPRK to sell weapons that endanger itself to your country."
The Dzungar people were displeased: "Our country and your country have long signed the "Treaty of Commerce", and there have been many commercial exchanges between them, which can be said to be harmonious for a long time, and if there is a possibility of conflict, the envoy should not refuse it with quibbles. ”
"Although you have been bounded by Xingxing Gorge and Altun Mountain, it has divided the border between Khalkha and your country." Liu Wenruo took the opportunity to turn the topic to the demarcation of the border between the two countries. "In addition, if your country uses troops, it is also possible that there will be a conflict with our country."
"Didn't your country say that ** affairs have nothing to do with your country?" The Jungars seemed to have seized on the loopholes in Liu Wenruo's language, so they stormed. "How can there be a conflict with my country again, could it be that what the envoy said before was false."
"The envoy is confused, the Tibetan Khan is a vassal of this dynasty." Liu Wenruo explained. "If it asks for help from the imperial court after being attacked by your country, whether we will save it or not. If I don't save it, I will inevitably deviate from Germany after many vassals know about it. To save, it will inevitably be with your country. That's why I just said it. ”
"Aside from **." It seems that now Huaxia is supporting the occupation of Luobzang Danjin, and the Jungger people, who were allowed to watch the artillery exercises of the Xia army when they came, have flinched a little. "If you and I can reach an agreement on the Khalkha border issue, will we be able to ensure permanent peace between you and me?"
Ba Zhixin preemptively replied: "In addition to the Khalkha border, there is also the border of the Wulianghai. ”
It is no secret that Huaxia forced Russia to sign a new border treaty, and when they thought that the fierce Russians had also admitted defeat, the expressions of the Jungar envoys became more gloomy: "Then let's talk about it together."
On the ninth day of December in the 22nd year of Wucheng, Xia Zhun and the two countries reached the "Treaty on the Delimitation of Khobdo and Khalkha", and Huaxia took back the occupied grassland of the Zasaktu Khan from the Dzungar people at the price of selling 200 artillery pieces to the Dzungar Empire within ten years, and obtained the entire Tangnu Ulianghai region from the Dzungar people.
In addition, the Treaty on the Delimitation of Koka also allowed Chinese merchants to set up trading cities in Khobdo and Urumqi, and allowed Jungar caravans to enter Anxi, Yumen and other places for trade.
Thus, although the treaty did not confirm the renunciation of the Zungar Empire's claim to ** territory, the missions of both sides agreed that the two countries could obtain peace for a longer time.
However, after the text of the treaty was delivered to Zheng Kezang, the supreme monarch explained to his two sons standing in front of him: "This is only a short-term truce, and there must be discontent among the Dzungars, for which sooner or later the two countries will fight a war that will last for decades." ”
When Zheng Anyang heard this, he frowned and asked Zheng Kezang: "Father, if war is inevitable, what is the ultimate goal of the imperial court?" ”
"Completely wiped out the Jungar Empire and pushed the territory of the dynasty to the shores of Lake Balkhash." Zheng Kezhang gave a clear answer. "And then occupy the plain area of the upper reaches of the Ob River, which is a future granary, and also a diversion place after the population of this dynasty swells." Looking at the two sons thoughtfully, Zheng Kezhang said further. "In terms of long-term goals, Oros is the biggest and most dangerous enemy of this dynasty, and if possible in the future, future generations must fight it back to Juluzhou in northwest Thailand step by step, of course, this is a matter of hundreds of years, and at present, it can only come step by step."
Zheng Andi looked at Zheng Anyang with sympathetic eyes, and then responded: "But the cost of westward expansion is huge, and the treasury is afraid that it will be difficult to bear. ”
"yes, money is a big problem." Zheng Kezhang sighed. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have put this burden in your hands."
