The Second Guards Army made the most outstanding contributions in the Northern Expedition in the four years of Longjing. Not only did he capture the old Chechen Khan Shuolei and his two sons, but also quelled the rebellion of the fourth son of the Chechen Khan, Bemba, and finally made the new Chechen Khan Wu Lihan, who was canonized by the imperial court, become the king of the Hulunbuir steppe.

Tens of thousands of Chechens migrated south, pouring into mines in Shanxi, Liaoning, and even Haixi, turning from herders to miners. The Ming Zhuangding could not compete with these Mongols for production costs at all, so they could only turn to other industries. For them, there are roughly only four paths to take: joining the army, farming, studying as an official, and then engaging in technical work.

Compared with the unemployment problem that people worried about in later generations, there was no zài in Daming at all. Because the Ming Dynasty prohibits unemployment by law, once someone reports that someone in a certain village or a certain village has no job, there will be elderly people in the village and neighborhood elders to persuade and recommend jobs. If they refuse to accept it, and if they still have nothing to do for three months, the county will naturally send someone to solve the problem of unemployment by coercive means.

For example, exiled to Annam, Haixi, Australia and other places.

The common people only have the right to choose the type of work, but not the right to be lazy, which may be the reason why later generations called Longjing the "Iron Age".

More Chechens migrated westward, especially Chechen men in their prime and became part of the Ming army, putting pressure on other Khalkha tribes.

From the map, to the west of the Chechen Ministry is the Tushetu Khan Department.

As the first big tribe, Tushetu Khan Gunbu chose to personally send people to Beijing to avoid the generals under the banner of the Ming Dynasty from "profiting" from it. To avoid being the same as Shuo Lei, he unknowingly changed from the king of Khalkha who supported the Ming Dynasty to the traitor of the Ming Dynasty, and was finally detained in a foreign land, and his life and death were unknown.

To say the messenger. Gonbu had one of the most reliable and trustworthy people. This man was his son, Zanabazar, and a convincing spiritual leader of the Khalkha tribes.

This Zhanabazar was born in the eighth year of Chongzhen, six years younger than Zhu Cihong. He was able to become the spiritual leader of the Mobei tribes not because of his father Gunbu, but completely by his own accumulation.

Accumulated over time.

According to Tibetan Buddhism, Zanabazar is not simply Zanabazar. Rather, Shakyamuni Buddha sat down as one of the five hundred great bhikshus, and then reincarnated in Tibet, passed down for fifteen generations, and in the previous life was the Tibetan Buddhist Jonang monk Taranatha.

In the 42nd year of Wanli, Taranatha was invited by Abadai Khan of the Khalkha Department of Mongolia to go to the area of Urge to preach the scriptures for 20 years, and won the trust and support of the leaders of the Khalkha tribe, and became a local religious leader, and was honored as Jebtsundamba. The Tibetan word means "honorable victory".

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Taranatha passed away.

In the following year, the Khalkha Khans recognized Zanabazar, the son of Tushetu Khan Gombdorji, as the reincarnation of Taranatha, and named him Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen, and made him the king of France.

In the twenty-second year of Chongzhen, Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen went to Tibet to study the Dharma. In the twenty-third year, Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen was ordained from the 4th Panchen Lama, Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen, and met with Lobsang Gyatso, the 5th Dalai Lama, the leader of the Gelug sect. Both asked for his conversion as a condition for official recognition of his status as a living Buddha.

Under the tutelage of Gushi Khan, the protector of Lhasa. In the first year of Longjing, Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen converted from the Jonang sect to the Gelug sect, and the Dalai Lama recognized him as the first Jebtsundampa.

Therefore, although Zhanabazar is young, he is already the seventeenth generation of people, and his previous age was not in vain.

Hearing that there had been changes in the grasslands, Zhanabazar ended his studies in Lhasa ahead of schedule. Return to Urge. While preaching the scriptures and teachings as Jebtsundamba I, he gathered the hearts of the people of all tribes, and at the same time paid attention to the movements of the Ming army on the grassland, and finally at the request of Tushetu Khan Gunbu, he led 500 monks. Request for a pilgrimage to the Ming Emperor.

The Dalai Lama of Tibet has become a sensitive word because of the political issues of later generations, and Zhu Cihong is naturally particularly sensitive. However, in this day and age, the Tibetan problem is not a problem, only the Tibetan monks are. As an important stronghold of Buddhism across the Himalayas, Tibetan Buddhism, especially the Gelug sect (Yellow Sect), had a great influence on Mongolia, which in turn was very important to the Ming Dynasty.

An important reason for the defeat of Chahar Lindan Khan was his conversion to the Red Religion, so that he lost the support of the Mobei tribes who worshiped the Yellow Religion.

The Gelug sect began to use the Mongols to help them establish their position in Tibet during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, starting with the third Dalai Lama, Sonam Gyatso, and the king of Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty, Altan Khan, until the great-grandson of Altan Khan was designated as the fourth Dalai Lama.

Prior to this, Sonam Gyatso had also contacted the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute in the seventh year of Wanli, which was approved by the Ming court.

Today, Tibet is still a chaotic country, divided by various factions, and not a country. In this area, there are only the Daming Wusi Tibetan Dusi and the Duogandu Si, which are ruled by monks of all sizes. Although the Gelug sect had been seeking foreign aid since the Jiajing period, Altan Khan did not succeed in helping them win the religious war, and it was not until ten years ago, at the end of the Chongzhen Dynasty, that Gushi Khan invaded Lhasa and established the status of the Yellow Sect in Tibet.

The fact that the Mongolian issue triggered the Tibet issue did not surprise Zhu Cihong. However, the arrival of Jebtsundamba, one of the four great Dharma kings, made the court a little confused.

What kind of etiquette should be used to receive this monk? What is his relationship with the Great Treasure King recognized by the Ming Court? Will there be questions that will embarrass His Majesty?

These pre-work began when Zhanabazar had just set foot on the grasslands of Monan. More than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Rites traveled from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, nominally to greet them, but in fact to determine whether the monks should be allowed to meet the emperor. In the end, in the concept of the Ming people, Meng Yuan was finally defeated because he believed in the strange Buddhism of these monks.

In the first month of the fifth year of Longjing, Zhanabazar finally arrived in Beijing and stationed in Ximiaoying Temple.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first day after the end of the Ming New Year's holiday, Zhu Cihong summoned Zhanabazar in the Wuying Hall to accept his pilgrimage.

As a scholarly monk, Zhanabazar is not only proficient in Mongolian and Tibetan, but also has considerable attainments in Sinology. Those who believed in him believed that this was the wisdom of the ages, but the Confucian scholars in the Ming court dismissed it, believing that Zhanabazar was only because he was clever and learned things quickly, and he seemed supernatural among the ignorant barbarians.

"This person has reported his life and has never been to Han. Even if there is really a reincarnation theory, being able to speak Chinese will definitely not be caused by Su Hui. Wu Fu has lost the opportunity to become the leader of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, compared to Xu Jie, who is the first assistant of political and academic integration, but the resistance to Buddhism must still be insisted on, which is what every Confucian with a firm belief should do.

"What will you call him then? Name or law name? Zhu Cihong asked.

"If he performs secular rituals, His Majesty can call him the Dharma name. to show leniency. Wu Fu said.

If this monk only performs the Heshi ceremony and refuses to bow down, then the Ming court will not even recognize his status as a monk.

As for honorific titles, it is even more illegal. Because only the Ming Emperor can canonize the title of honorific under the whole world, and will not recognize the private title of the Mongolian foreign domain.

Zhu Cihong nodded, strode into the Wuying Palace, and saw a young man in a lama's costume standing on the hall at a glance. Zhu Cihong is wearing a dragon robe, and they are all uniforms with each other, so they can recognize each other's identities at first sight. The young man bowed his head and bent his knees. He performed the great ritual of prostrating himself to the Guru in Tibetan Buddhism.

"Give a seat." Zhu Cihong said simply and clearly.

The attendant immediately moved the embroidery pier and put it in the middle, so that the monk could sit.

Wu Fu, as the first assistant, was given a seat according to the convention, and the emperor did not say that he was not allowed to sit and could sit. However, the other civil officials who accompanied the meeting could only stand on both sides and did not have the right to sit down.

"Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen, is it too peaceful on the grassland?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"陛xià." Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen said: "Today's grasslands are chaotic and people are terrified. They all thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to raise troops and use force, so they came to the front of the Ming Emperor and asked the Emperor to calm down the chaos and restore the grassland to peace and tranquility. ”

Zhu Cihong didn't expect this little monk to be quite bold, and he didn't see the high-ranking person cowering. From this point of view, this person's heart is very tenacious. It may not be realistic to convince the other party through negotiations.

"Wise people don't speak secret words." Zhu Cihong punned on the words: "I punished the Chechen Ministry because he had the intention to rebel. If the Mobei Domains can be loyal and clear, would I be happy to see the children of the Ming Dynasty running thousands of miles away? I think that when Meng Yuan ravaged China, the Holy Lord rose to Linhao and fought at the four poles. Instead, how did he ever treat the descendants of Meng Yuan badly? If you are as fearful and cautious as you were back then, where will you cause a military disaster? ”

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen hung his head and said secretly in his heart: This emperor does not seem to be a good person. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been several northern expeditions to sow discord, where is worthy of our Mongols? Saying that to him puts all the blame on us.

"His Majesty is the lord of the Holy Ming, and he should see the rebellion of the Chechen Khan......"

"Stop." Zhu Cihong interrupted Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen's words and deliberately disrupted his rhythm: "Chechen Khan has always been loyal, how did he rebel?" ”

Luosang Danbei Gyaltsen was amazed, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Could it be that this emperor was deceived by his subordinates? Don't know what happened in Mobei?

"Your Majesty, the Chechen Khan has been detained by the Celestial Army, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen said.

Zhu Cihong looked at Wu Fu: "Mr. Wu, have you heard of such a thing?" ”

Wu Fu understood and said indifferently: "Since the canonization of the Chechen Khan, Wu Lihan, he has been loyal, and now he is in the Khan Court on the banks of the Khulun River, how can he be detained by our army?" ”

"Your Majesty," said Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen, "but there is a misunderstanding. The so-called Chechen Khan of the little monk is the father of Wu Lihan, the old Khan Shuo base. ”

"Well, he's." Zhu Cihong frowned: "I have never canonized this person as the Khan of Chechnya. Shuo Lei is just a grassland white body, and the monk did misunderstand. ”

Luosang Danbei Gyaltsen's heart twisted, not only was the previous train of thought truncated, but now he was facing the emperor's attack: If Shuolei is white, then isn't Tushetu Khan Gunbu, who also did not accept the canonization of the Ming court, also white?

Since Tsongkhapa's founding, the Gelug sect has been using his tongue to run amok in Tibet and Mongolia. In particular, the third Dalai Lama, Sonam Gyatso, was a master of persuading people with his words, and almost every grassland leader who met him would be impressed by him and take refuge. There is even a "Debate Institute" in the Gelugpa monasteries, which provides a place for monks to debate and practice eloquence.

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen was no stranger to this as he practiced with the Panchen Lama in Tibet, and he was so eloquent that he had never encountered an enemy in Mobei. Now it is a chess opponent, and as soon as the layout is broken, it is broken by brute force and stabbed straight to the door.

If Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen is indeed the sixteenth emperor, Zhu Cihong, the second emperor, seems to be a little weak. However, judging from the resume provided by Lobsang Tengbei Gyaltsen himself, he has been in India, Tibet, and Mongolia since he first entered the world as a human being and became a disciple of Shakyamuni.

Can such a vision be compared with Zhu Cihong?

What's more, in his previous life, Zhu Cihong relied exclusively on his mind and tongue to eat, and he had long trained the confrontation between words to become his instinct, and he was able to use a qiē external form to enhance his language power.

If the negotiation table is like a ring, and words are like fists and feet, Zhu Cihong has long been among the first-class masters.

The reason why he can't be regarded as a great grandmaster is because the limitations of his status are beyond the reach of manpower.

"Your Majesty," Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen said with a smile, "Before the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, although there was no name of Chechen Khan, there was the reality of Chechen Khan. How can a holy lord like His Majesty only see his name but not the truth? ”

- Pretty good parry.

Zhu Cihong also smiled: "My so-called: deserved. Only when it is true can the name be returned. He didn't get a name before, just because he couldn't get it. ”

Wu Fu and other civil officials have covered their mouths and laughed, this monk wants to play with his tongue, but he doesn't know that the emperor is even better at this way, and even wrote "Theory of Logic", so that this vertical and horizontal art has entered the hall and become a knowledge. In the face of such a grandmaster, aren't you, a little monk, dancing a big sword in front of Guan Gong?

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen only felt that this sentence was like a strong wind on the grassland, which could not be parried.

Zhu Cihong didn't give him a chance to wake up to the concept of stealing, and said: "I regard the people of the world as my own, whether it is a Mongolian or a Tibetan, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty like the Han people." Before the Great Tomorrow Army went to Mobei, was Mobei a peaceful and happy land? I just heard some historical theories from gentlemen yesterday, and I would like to ask the great monk. ”

Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen, whether or not he has the cultivation of the sixteenth, is a little difficult to parry. It is impossible for him to open his eyes and tell nonsense and deny the tribal conquests of the Mongolian steppes.

"Responding to violence with violence is not superior after all." Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen's face was calm, as if unmoved.

"Definitely. This is a thunderbolt method, the heart of the Bodhisattva, and the sin is not the one who kills the person. Zhu Cihong said: "The heavenly army is just a thunderbolt, and it must have rain and dew." This rain and dew is the Dharma. ”

Lobsang Danbe Gyaltsen was finally moved. (To be continued......)

PS: I see that I am tired today and only have one shift, so the number of words is a little more. As for the chapter names that everyone criticizes, Xiaotang doesn't want to distinguish them, these days are physically and mentally exhausted, so let's follow the vulgar. Some people got their wish, and Xiaotang also ended up relaxed.
