After all, Tulu Baihu's wisdom was not as far-reaching as that of the Panchen Lama. When this apologetic khan bowed down to the Panchen Lama and offered his honorific title, he essentially distracted the Dalai Lama's appeal in Tibet. Whether it is the reincarnation of the living Buddhas or the golden bloodline of the Khan King, in the final analysis, it is actually for the three words "appeal".

Is it really okay to rob another religious leader of his political resources like this?

Of course it matters. At the least, it caused discord between the Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama, and at worst, it caused the Yellow Sect to split, giving the Kagyu sect that had just been suppressed a chance to make a comeback. In any case, this is what the Panchen Lama does not want to see, so on the one hand, he does not care about the Dzungar Ministry, and on the other hand, he wants Tulu Baihu to take Geldan with him.

Because Geldan is also in Lhasa now, and he is also a disciple of the Dalai Lama.

Although he was very young, except that his secular status was one level lower than that of Tulubaihu and he was not a tribal khan, he was otherwise very similar enough to be worthy of a pilgrimage to Peking to make a pilgrimage.

And there's also a dark chess hand in it.

The Panchen Lama hoped that Tulu Baihu would be associated with Geldan on a journey of thousands of miles.

"If the old monk is not mistaken, it is impossible for the monk to win in the internal struggle in Dzungar." The Panchen said bluntly to Tulu Baihu.

Tulu Baihu knew about the Sangha and knew that he was a brave Khan who attacked the outside world, but he was not good at the intricacies of internal relations and the ghosts of the people's hearts in Dzungaria. However, Tulu Baihu did not understand the meaning of the Panchen Lama's words, because he did not believe that a ten-year-old child could become the head of the Dzungar tribe in the future, and even become the so-called "last hero of the Mongols" by later generations.

Tulubaihu hoped that he would be the hero of the Mongols, overwhelm the Dzungaria, unify the four tribes of Warat, and eventually dominate all the Mongols. He even thought of a honorific title for himself, and he could follow the example of Hudun Rabbit (Lin Dan Khan). Raise the banner of "Commander of the Great Khan of a Million Mongols".

Of course, relying on the Heshuo Special Department alone is far from being able to achieve such a grand feat, perhaps this is why Shizun let him go to Beijing to seek the support of the Ming Kingdom.

However, can a Khan who accepted the title of Han Chinese still be considered a hero of the Mongols?

Tulubaihu vaguely felt that something was wrong. I don't know why I feel this way.

Before the concept of nationalism became widespread, both the Dzungar tribe and the Han Chinese were foreign to Tulubaihu, and there was not much kinship. However, the theory of nation and state that is now circulating in Han China clearly divides Han and Mongolia into two camps. In this way, Heshute and Dzungaria should be closer.

In August of the fifth year of Longjing, Tulubaihu and Geldan rode horses and led a mighty retinue down the plateau to ask for Hajj. Most of them were monks and servants, though they were numerous. But it does not mean to show force. But there are many corals, clams, gold, silver, ...... But it implies that their tribe is rich and powerful.

"These things are so cheesy, they can wear them." Dang Shousu and Xiao Mo met with Tulu Baihu and Geldan, and were speechless about the ornaments on their bodies. From their necks to their wrists, these two Tibetan Mongols were eager to wear everything they could wear, and even the peasant-born Dang Shousu couldn't look at them.

"Mongolians and Tibetans live on grass and grass, and in order to make it easier to move, they generally exchange their belongings for these things and carry them with them." Xiao Mo explained for him. It's a bit of a good teacher.

These two former rivals are now comrades, albeit of equal rank. But his background determines that Xiao Mo's position is high, and the party often has an inferiority complex. It is precisely for this reason that after receiving the leadership of the Long Army, the Party Shousu was very strict, and finally let the Guards, who regarded themselves very highly, observe the drill of the Long Army, and had to be convinced.

"Come to Daming to show off your wealth. It's really interesting. Dang Shousu sneered.

"We can't let them just swagger in." Xiao Mo said.

"How about a big parade?" The party shou suti yì said.

"The murderous aura is too heavy, I'm afraid that the ten-year-old child will be frightened." Xiao Mo thought of his children, the youngest one was already ten years old. "Let's just play a jujube kernel ball." Xiao Mo said: "Insiders can understand it, and laymen can also watch it." ”

The jujube kernel ball has had its own development after Zhu Cihong let go. Originally, the wooden barrel behind the enemy formation became a hollow earthen platform, and bricks were covered where possible. And so it goes. Bigger area, better for the attacking side - all teams are guided by the offensive ideology, so everyone wants to do bigger.

There is also a rule that the armor can only be worn in rattan armor - it turns out that iron armor can indeed kill people.

At the beginning, the only ban "no punches and kicks" was successfully circumvented by the generals in the army.

There are no punches and kicks on the court, but you can see the wrestling, wrestling and sumo wrestling.

In the end, everyone agreed that as long as they didn't attack the fallen person, nothing else mattered. Even if someone does throw a fist at him, as long as the winner is quickly decided, the referee will treat it as if he didn't see it. In the final analysis, jujube core ball is a bloody game, and if the players are gentle on the field, then what is there to see.

After listening to Xiao Mo's suggestion, Dang Shousu was even more interested, and immediately agreed.

Unlike the First Guards Army, the Long Army is an army that has been fought out, and it can be said that it has not experienced division-level battles since it became an army. However, playing jujube core ball is a celebration on the day of the establishment of the Longjun army, and it can be said that the long-term establishment of the Longjun army will play the jujube core ball for as long as it takes. In addition, there is a good martial arts factor in the blood of Gansu people, and they like this game very much.

"It's up to my department to fight with you." Dang Shousu said with a smile: "Since the two armies were stationed, they really haven't played a ball game at the military level. ”

Xiao Mo knew that Long Jun was a good player on the court. The battalions of the two armies also fought unofficially, and the Guards Army lost more than they won, so the party guards had the courage to challenge.

"Yes." Xiao Mo agreed to the challenge simply and clearly, and at the same time said generously: "Let you be at home." ”

In the vast Gobi Desert, the most valuable thing is land. Outside Jiayu Pass, just draw a box to make a flat ground for the court. So almost every game has its own court, but there are differences in the conditions.

The Long army formed an army in Lanzhou, and after moving to Jiayuguan, the fort was repaired, the pier was repaired, and the stadium was repaired, among which the large stadium in the pass was the most elegant, and the four sides were narrow ditches, and the straw was pierced into it with a shovel, like a small fence. On the court, people have to be leveled every day, and not even a stone will be spared.

Before the start of the game, it is even extravagant to sprinkle water to avoid dust, so that the surrounding spectators cannot clearly see the wonderful moments on the field.

After moving to Jiayuguan, the First Guards Army has long coveted this stadium in the pass and wants to have a good fight here.

……

"Watching the ball?" Gerdan's eyes widened: "Isn't that a child's play?" ”

Stuff some fine down in the pig urine bubble, this kind of ball is indeed not something that a ten-year-old child can play with.

"It's a ball play of the Han people, a ball made of jujube cores." Tulubaihu thinks he is clever.

He understands the jujube core ball, but he doesn't know that it is actually made of wood, but because it is shaped like a jujube core, it is called a jujube core ball.

"I don't go, it's not interesting, it's better to copy the scriptures in the tent." Geldan was dressed in a lama costume and hung his head slightly.

Tulubaihu didn't know how to explain it to the child.

The Mongols have never been known for their interpretation.

"If you don't go, you have to go!" Tulubaihu released the coercion of his own sweat and took out the posture of his father's deacon: "There is a time to copy the scriptures for you, but you must go to see the jujube core ball today!" ”

Although Geldan already has the appearance of a tiger cub, the age gap still makes him cringe. Finally, with single-minded reluctance, Gerdan changed into his best monk's robe and followed Tulubaihu to the court.

The game hasn't started yet, but the pitch is already boiling. As a rare recreational activity, the people in the vicinity even rushed from hundreds of miles away. All kinds of small traders and vendors weave through the crowd, selling all kinds of goods, and the smell of lamb skewers fills the air, like a grand bazaar.

The people he had seen in his life were not as many as he had seen at this moment, and his eyes widened and he couldn't close his mouth in astonishment.

Tulubaihu also became more and more excited, what a rich place this must be to have so many people! So much business travel! So many commercial goods!

Sure enough, it is worthy of being the old land of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Soil, and the territory of the former Heavenly Khan.

"Gushi Khan, Lama Geldan, please go this way." The officer of the Ming army who was in charge of greeting him greeted him politely.

The Ming army did not recognize Tulu Baihu's throne, but it could not immediately deny his throne, so on the one hand, it followed his original customs in terms of title, but did not give the treatment of the foreign vassal khan in terms of reception specifications. This was a change of power for the Ming people, and for Tulubaihu...... He didn't realize the entanglement at all, because in his opinion, the Ming army's hospitality was already very embarrassing for him.

"General Xiao and General Dang are waiting for the two of you in the VIP room." The officer said politely.

Tulu Baihu was even more proud, and even the generals of the Ming Dynasty had to wait for him, the king of the Khan, which showed his status. This illusion was not dispelled until he entered the VIP room, because Xiao Mo and Dang Shousu were seated together, and when they saw him and Geldan coming in, they didn't even mean to get up and be polite.

The only thing that pleased him was that the two generals invited him to take a seat with smiles on their faces.

At this time, the ball game has not yet started, and the military dance is being performed on the field. This kind of dance is enthusiastic and masculine, and it is indeed very suitable as a warm-up event for a ball game.

"Today is the match between the First Army of the Guards and the First Army of Long, I gambled with the Party General for a feast, and asked Gushi Khan and the Lama to be a witness, no matter who loses or wins, the two of them will be appreciated." Xiao Mo was very happy in his heart, and laughed.

Dang Shousu waited for the court to raise his eyebrows, echoing his voice, wishing that the game would start earlier.

"When does the game start?" Gerdan asked impatiently. After all, he was still too young to know the mystery of Piri Chunqiu.

"It's noon." Xiao Mo was not spoiled by this kid at all, and wiped his clairvoyant mirror while answering. (To be continued......)
