The twelfth episode of the defeat of the Tumubao Orthodox Emperor Northern Prisoner
Continue to read the book, Tang Seng and his apprentices continued on the road, it should have arrived at the cliff that Wuchao Zen Master said, maybe Caesar's statement is wrong, and the official doesn't care. The masters and apprentices saw that the scenery here was good, but they talked about it. Coming to the gate of Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuangguan, Sha Seng can see that there must be a good person to live in, which shows that he is not a fool, at least his eyesight is second only to the monkey. But this also shows that the characters reflected by Zhenyuan Daxian must have lived at least during the Xuande period, and even received Zhu Zhanji's grace and courtesy.
But it is said that the name of this mountain is called Wanshou Mountain, there is a view in the mountain, the name is called Wuzhuang View, there is an immortal in the view, the road number is Zhenyuanzi, and the name is the same as the world. The general treasure in that view is the first division of chaos, the beginning of Hongmeng's judgment, and when the heaven and earth are not opened, this spiritual root is produced. Covering the four continents of the world, but the five villages of Xiniu Hezhou view this, calling the name of the grass and returning the dan, and the famous ginseng fruit. It blooms once in 3,000 years, bears fruit once in 3,000 years, and is ripe in another 3,000 years, and it takes 10,000 years to eat. It was as if in ten thousand years, only thirty fruits were produced. The appearance of the fruit is similar to that of a child who is not yet full of three dynasties, with all four limbs and salty facial features. If a man is destined to get a smell of that fruit, he will live three hundred and sixty years, and if he eats one, he will live forty-seven thousand years."
This Zhen Yuanzi is very powerful, and I will analyze it later, now I will look at the ginseng fruit first, it is so similar to the peach, and it is only available in Xiniu Hezhou. This ginseng tree is a territorial composition that represents a "country". But compared to the many peach trees, there is only one such one. Then the ginseng fruit tree should be the Warat tribal alliance of Mongolia, which is still speculation and will be re-demonstrated later.
Through the mouth of Zhenyuan Daxian, Lao Wu explained to everyone some Tang Seng's life experience, revealing a lot, and more obscure. Zhenyuan Daxian, the ancestor of the earth immortals, is actually the leader of the earth immortals, the status is high, that is the Taoist Buddha can afford you; in fact, the status is not high, on the surface, for example, it is obviously a lower than one or even two big grades, Guanyin only let it three points, Donghua Emperor saw Sun Wukong was very polite and polite, but when it came to Zhenyuan Daxian seemed to admire, but in fact he didn't take it too seriously, on the contrary, the tone revealed his dissatisfaction. It shows that the title of the ancestor of the earth immortals of Zhenyuan Daxian is actually not very good, you see that he and the monkey worshiped later, why? One is a sense of sympathy, and the other is that the future of the monkey has broad prospects. Supposedly, he has ginseng fruit, and everyone should be rushing to tie up, but that's not the case. It is only a few earth immortals in Fuxing who respect them on the surface, but unfortunately, most of these people are still half defecting to Buddhism. Outside of the words, many high-level immortals sneered at Zhenyuan Daxian, and even such a good ginseng fruit couldn't stop their mouths.
Then why is everyone actually looking down on it, the book says that there are countless scattered immortals under the Great Immortal Gate, and there are still forty-eight apprentices, all of whom are truly enlightened. Qingfeng and Mingyue later said that Sanqing was a friend of Zhenyuan Daxian, and the fourth emperor was an old man. Later, Dongfang Shuo was also mentioned in the book, this was a great hermit during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Lao Wu praised him. Dongfang Shuo's master is Emperor Donghua, and Lao Wu is telling us that Emperor Donghua is not Zhenyuan Daxian, but the deceased of Zhenyuan Daxian. After making trouble for a long time, this Zhenyuan Daxian is likely to insinuate Wang Chongyang, the ancestor of the Quanzhen Sect who advocates the common development of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism. also placed the Wuzhuang concept in Xizhou, this old Wu's view of the Quanzhen Sect is self-evident.
After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he vigorously supported Zhengyi, and forbade Quanzhen Dao to set up a position of head of the sect after that, and divided it into seven factions, which finally gave face to the seven bosses of Brother Qiu. Because during the time of the "Seven Sons of Quanzhen", it was his mission to destroy Jin and restore the Central Plains, and it was indeed true that he did a lot of good things for the people, including the Han people, and saved a lot of lives. Ming Taizu is also very objective about the Quanzhen Dao, and he did not erase all the merits.
This makes it clear that Lao Wu mainly came to the Buddhist family before, and now he has time to ridicule Taoism. The description in the book is also quite amusing, and the attitude towards Wang Chongyang is generally polite, with praise and disapproval. Although Wu Chengen has some views on Wang Chongyang, he belongs to "respecting and staying away", but he has even greater opinions on the first-class Taoist monks such as Taoist tigers, sheep, and deer power immortals, and he writes ruthlessly. Lao Wu and Lao Li hate Taoism if it is involved in politics and ignores the people.
Taoism is divided into many sects, such as the Inner Dan sect, the Wai Dan sect, the Fangshi sect, and the north and the south, which are very complicated, and the internal contradictions are to a great extent even greater than the conflict with Buddhism and Confucianism. Especially between Jeon Zhen and Shoichi, it has been like fire and water for a long time.
Still reading the book, Zhenyuan Daxian must have been greeted by the Buddhist family, just to try to let Tang Seng eat a few sons of Changsheng sweet fruit. But although Zhenyuan Daxian didn't dare not give it, he also had his own careful thoughts, and it was Sun Wukong who really wanted to take this opportunity to really befriend. I also laid it out, knowing that Tang Seng would definitely not dare to eat it at first, so after letting Sun Wukong cause a lot of trouble, he came forward with great righteousness.
Why, because Wukong's background is deeper. You see that Jin Chanzi still personally passed tea to Zhenyuan Daxian, which shows that the status of Zhenyuan Daxian is slightly higher than that of Tang Seng (in his previous life), or Zhenyuan Daxian is kind to Jin Chanzi. Give the old man two fruits to eat, and express the feelings of the old days, but what he really wants is to give the monkey to eat, and by the way, it is cheaper for a few people.
Zhen Yuanzi knew that Tang Seng and his apprentice were coming, so he asked his apprentices Qingfeng and Mingyue to greet guests. These two boys and Sanzang boasted, saying that the family teacher was invited by the Yuan Shi Tianzun to listen to the lecture on the mixed Yuan Daoguo in the Shangqing Tianmiluo Palace, and he was not at home. When the walker heard this, he couldn't help but snort and said, "This Dao Tong! People don't know it, what kind of hollow frame are you making trouble in front of that! Who is the Taiyi Heavenly Immortal in the Miluo Palace? What are you talking about, this bull's hoof!"
Who was Yuan Shi Tianzun? I don't know very well, but there is the word "Yuan" and the word "Shi", plus "Tianzun", it is very likely that it is talking about Genghis Khan Temujin, the founder of Mongolia. And from the mouth of the Great Sage, I heard that the status of this Zhenyuan Great Immortal is much lower than that of Yuan Shi Tianzun, but for many immortals, it is still very high, how can it be a general person who can be invited by Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Qingfeng and Mingyue followed the master's explanation and went to lay the two ginseng fruits for Sanzang to eat. But Tang Seng saw that this was a "baby", take it away, I won't eat it. As a result, the two boys ate one by themselves, and the shelf life of this ginseng fruit is too short, and it will be scrapped when it expires.
I don't want to be known by the Eight Commandments, so I found Wukong, have you ever seen the "baby" of Wuzhuang Guan? The Great Sage said that "five hundred years ago, when Lao Sun visited the Immortal Dao, he also traveled to the end of the cape, and he had never seen it"? As a result, when he heard that it was a ginseng fruit, Sun Wukong really hadn't seen it, but he had heard of it.
Oh, kind of understood. This grass is indeed the Mongolian (Wara) territory, Zhu Yuanzhang's main opponent from 1352 to 1370 was the Yuan Dynasty. Basically, there was no direct battle with the Warat tribe alone, and around 1372, Xu Da's Northern Expedition failed, because of the addition of Warat, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty was relatively strong at that time.
The old pig told the monkey the essentials of picking fruit, so he took him to eat the whole thing. Wukong went to steal the golden struck (what is the golden striking, it should be said that only Zhu Yuanzhang's method of dealing with Mongolia is approved by Mr. Wu Chengen and Mr. Li Chunfang), and went to find the ginseng fruit tree.
The Great Sage first found a garden and a vegetable garden, and the monkey smiled and said, "He is also a Taoist priest who grows and eats on his own." "We know that Zhu Yuanzhang is a thrifty emperor. Wukong's words mentioned "also", in fact, Lao Zhu's Nanjing Imperial Palace opened up a vegetable garden, "grow and eat by yourself".
The monkey finally found the ginseng fruit tree, and it was indeed a good thing, very "rare".
Saying that the Northern Expedition failed in 1372, Lao Zhu was very annoyed, so he thought about revenge, and finally ordered Lan Yu to go north again in 1387 to the hinterland of the Northern Desert. From 1370 to 1388, Mongolia had entered the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and its territory was composed of ginseng fruit trees.
As a result, the monkey knocked down a fruit, but could not find it, so he pulled out the land and inquired. The land said, "This fruit falls when it encounters gold, withers when it encounters wood, melts when it encounters water, burns when encounters fire, and enters when it encounters soil." When you knock it, you must use a tool of gold, so that you can come down. If you take some wood, it will wither, and you will not be able to prolong your life if you eat it. To eat him, you need to use a magnet, and the water melts and eats it, and it is scorched and useless when it encounters fire. When he encountered the soil, the great sage hit the ground, and he went down to the ground. This soil has 47,000 years, even if it is a steel diamond, he can't drill some whiskers, and it is three or four points harder than pig iron. When the great sage does not believe, he can take a look at this underground. The walker immediately took the golden hoop and built it, and the rod burst out with a sound, and there was no trace on the soil. The walker said, "Sure enough, sure enough, my stick is like smashing stones, and there are marks when it hits pig iron, so why can't it hurt me this time?" "Then the land will go back to the temple.
Sure enough, the history of the Northern Yuan Dynasty "fell when it met gold", Zhu Yuanzhang beat the Northern Yuan to death in 1388; "Scorched in the face of fire" mainly refers to the fact that in 1399 and 1402, the two Great Khans of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were killed by Guili Chi, and at that time it was the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen who was in power; "Dead when encountering wood" refers to Zhu Di's Yongle years, the Northern Yuan Dynasty had perished, and the divided Wara and Tatar were all cleaned up by Ming Taizong in turn; "Entering the soil" Zhu Zhanji can also be regarded as having hit Mongolia, but the effect is not very obvious. In Zhu Jianshen's Chenghua years, Mongolia was weakened, especially the Warat tribe has declined, and for more than 100 years, they generally live with their heads down.
After the great sage understood, he picked three fruits and brought them back to share with the Bajie and the sand monks. When Sha Seng was a general of the rolling shutter, he had seen it, but he had never eaten ginseng fruit. Naturally, Zhu Wenkui was a child, he was born on the last day of October 1396, and his whereabouts are unknown in 1402. The last Northern Expedition in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang was launched by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, around February to March 1396. After that, until the death of Lao Zhu, the Ming Dynasty no longer attacked the Northern Yuan. The next Northern Expedition was in 1409 after Zhu Di ascended the throne. The commander was Qiu Fu, but the army was wiped out in August.
The old pig ate too fast, and wanted the monkey to make a few more. The Great Sage said, "Brother, you don't know how to stop this thing, it's not as good as that rice and pasta, and it's all full." For example, in the past 10,000 years, we have only gotten thirty marriages, and we eat this one, which is also a great fate, and it is not a small thing. "Although Zhu Yuanzhang carried out eight expeditions against the Northern Yuan, he advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and he did not have the idea of completely destroying the Mongols.
Then the real rise of the Warat tribe was that during the orthodox years of Ming Yingzong, Warat was strong for a while and occupied a dominant position in Mongolia; Less than four years later, in 1455, his brother was killed, and Warat began to decline.
Qingfeng Mingyue found that there was less fruit, so she asked Tang Seng to question. The result angered the monkey and went to overthrow the ginseng fruit tree. This is talking about the aftermath of the Battle of Yuerhai in 1388. The Northern Yuan suffered a heavy blow, and the emperor was killed by his cousins. The Mongol Great Khan once again fell into the hands of the descendants of Ali Buge, and for the time being it was not the descendants of Kublai Khan.
After the two fairy children knew, they designed to lock up Tang Seng and his apprentices.
In 1449, Zhu Qizhen personally conquered Warat, but was captured by the Mongol army. At that time, the generals of Warat were the king of Datong and the king of Saikan. We will understand who the breeze and the bright moon reflect.
One of them is 1,320 years old and the other is 1,200 years old. According to the law of the month and the year, and Zhu Qizhen was captured in 1449, so it is undoubtedly confessed, about 1342 and 1351, Emperor Yuan Shun once knighted the two leaders of the Wara tribe, one is the king of Datong, and the other is the king of Saikan. Their descendants also took the opportunity to rise up in the steppe and established their own small forces, which can be regarded as eating some areas of Mongolia. And in August 1449, their subordinates captured Ming Yingzong.
Tang Seng and his apprentices fled, but after being known by the returning Zhenyuan Daxian, they were personally arrested. Then the direct leader of the king of Datong and the king of Saikan is Boyan Timur, the younger brother of Yexian. It turned out that the great immortal of Zhenyuan at this time, Boyan Timur also. Then the historical period reflected at this time is the civil engineering change in 1449.
Wukong escaped several times and was beaten by the oil pot, saying that Zhu Qizhen had tried to escape back to Daming and had an encounter, and the specific content is almost not recorded in history, who dares to record it? Despite this, Zhenyuan Daxian's attitude towards the monkey is very strange, although he is extremely angry, but he is always courteous. Even in the twenty-sixth chapter of the book, it is said that Zhenyuan Daxian put his hand around the walker and said, "I also know your ability, and I can also smell your name, but you are more rational and deceitful this time, even if you have Tengna, you can't get out of my hands." I will tell you about the western heavens, and when I see your Buddha, I have to return my ginseng fruit tree. You don't have magical powers!" The walker smiled, "You gentleman is like a little family! If you want to live a tree, what is the difficulty! If you say this earlier, won't you save a fight?" Daxian Dao, "If you don't compete, I am willing to spare you?" The walker said, "You have relieved my master, how about I return you a living tree?" Daxian said, "If you have this magical power, you can heal the tree and live, I will worship you eight times and become brothers." ”
What should be noted here, Zhenyuan Daxian really has a high status, an absolute high-level immortal, he knows too much. Singing dumb riddles with Sun Wukong alone, others can't understand it. As soon as Daxian said your Buddha, Wukong said, "I said it earlier." Both of them knew in their hearts that Daxian knew that Rulai was Wukong's real master, and Wukong didn't have to hide it from Daxian now.
The monkey said, "You have relieved my master." This sentence is a pun, outsiders heard it to let Daxian untie Tang Seng, but Daxian listened to it, but you have solved the secret that my real master is my Buddha. Zhenyuan Daxian was overjoyed at this time, this monkey is not stupid, the child can be taught, since the two of us have a good heart, it is better to make friends with eight worshippers.
Let's analyze, Zhenyuan Daxian is barely on the same level as Guanyin, for example, it is a grade lower, slightly higher than Tang Seng - Golden Cicada. Why did he surrender his identity, a generation shorter, and go to the pole to worship Tang Seng's apprentice Sun Wukong? Just for a ginseng fruit tree? The more advanced immortals can live for hundreds of millions of years, and the really high-level immortals disdain the ginseng fruit, and the peaches can't be eaten clearly, and they can eat it every year. Although ordinary immortals can't eat good things, they can cultivate their essence and spirit and live forever, but it's a little troublesome. Therefore, only the speculation mentioned above is a reasonable explanation.
Why did the Buddhists let Tang monks eat grass and return the pill, and then let people make a big publicity? In the past, like the tiger pioneer, he just knew that eating meat could fill his stomach, but later he was destroyed and the territory was taken over. As soon as the Buddhists saw that the income was okay this time, they moved their minds to make more articles in this area, so that more monsters could take the initiative to come out and receive more territory.
Because Tang Seng ate the ginseng fruit, and then ate the old monk to be able to live forever, so many monsters know that this so-called rumor must be under the hint of the Buddhists, so that the Fulu birthday star was spread. In this way, the monsters are full of energy, and they obediently stop being cats and emerge one after another. to be destroyed one by one and rob their territory. Moreover, the two Dao and Buddha families can also send their own people according to this, and in the name of eating Tang monk's meat, they can use various means to smoothly invade other monster regions and even mortal realms, which is shocking.
Then the medicinal properties of this ginseng fruit were absorbed by Tang Seng, does it still work after eating Tang Seng? Definitely can, not to mention this elixir, even Taishang Laojun's golden pill can be recycled. Didn't Taishang Laojun get Wukong into the gossip furnace and burn it for forty-nine days, just to bring back the golden pill for the drummer. Is there a monster in this to believe?,There must be a big yes.。 Even Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty, as mentioned earlier, was convinced of it, so he fed Jin Dan to the chickens, and when he grew up, he ate chicken, thinking that this would also eliminate the adverse side effects of the medicine.
For the sake of the ginseng fruit tree, Zhenyuan Daxian did not hesitate to worship Sun Wukong as a brother. This is very suspicious, and there is also the fact that the two of them really worshipped, but then Zhenyuan Daxian never showed up again.
To analyze the specific causes, we need to go back in time.
Temujin founded the Mongol Empire in 1206, destroyed the Jin in 1234, established the Yuan by Kublai Khan in 1271, and destroyed the Song Dynasty in 1279. The real epoch-making significance is the period of Emperor Yuan Shun, in 1345, the "History of Liao", "History of Jin", "History of Song" successively completed, which means that the Mongolian official tactfully admitted the continuation of the previous dynasty, although the Han people have opinions on the Mongols to repair the "History of Liao" and "History of Jin", but can not effectively refute it, because the three histories are "bundled" relationship. Since then, the Han people have correspondingly agreed that the Great Yuan represented China at that time, and that the Mongol leadership was the true Yuan Dynasty as the orthodoxy of China at that time. The process was tortuous, and the merits of Confucianism (the Confucianism of all ethnic groups in China at that time) cannot be erased.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others have a relatively objective evaluation of the Yuan Dynasty. As Lao Zhu said, if it weren't for the poor collection in Jiangnan and the improper relief of the Yuan Court, he would not have rebelled. In fact, Ming Taizu spoke tactfully, he not only had a strong sense of national self-esteem, but also conformed to the situation at that time, and took the restoration of China as his own responsibility. Then Emperor Hongwu's rhetoric in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is almost diametrically opposed to his remarks after ascending the throne. The changes in the surrounding environment, Zhu Yuanzhang also accurately "keep pace with the times", in fact, it is all for his own martial arts and cultural governance.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a wise and long-term vision, and his ethnic policy was even better than that of Kublai Khan. For Temujin, "bending the bow and shooting the eagle" is what he is good at, and it can be called invincible in the world. All the emperors of China have not been comparable to Genghis Khan in this regard, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty bowed his head in front of him. )
In 1368, Lao Zhu conquered the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and in 1388 the Northern Yuan began to fall into the division of Warat, Tatar and Uliangha. Among them, Uliangha was subordinated to the Ming Dynasty in 1389, and was set up as Duoyan Sanwei respectively, which was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Sanwei shined in the Battle of Jingyan and helped King Yan capture Emperor Jianwen. In 1402, the Mongols were divided, and the Tatars and Varat became enemies and fought against each other. In May of the 7th year of Yongle, Zhu Di conferred "Waramahamu as the king of Shunning, Taiping as the king of Xianyi, and Vulture Polo as the king of Anle", indicating that Wara had nominally recognized the status of the Ming suzerainty; in July of the 11th year of Yongle, he named the Tatar Taishi Arutai as the king of Hening, but the Tatar Khan refused to submit to the Ming Dynasty (until March of the fifth year of Longqing, he was named the king of Shunyi, marking that the Tatars were also officially recognized as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty).
The reason why Warat and the Tatars turned against each other is because the father of the three Mahamu mentioned above was killed by the Tatar Khan. Fearing that the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty would jointly crusade against him, Mahamu submitted to the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and conquered the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and in the Battle of Yingchang in 1370, Li Wenzhong captured the national treasure of the Yuan Dynasty. At this point, Lao Wu and Lao Li thought that the fall of the Yuan Dynasty corresponded to Sun Dasheng's almost eating up the big one of the peaches, but the inheritance of the Yuan Dynasty was still there, and they re-established the Northern Yuan regime, which is now called the ginseng fruit tree, of course, it was a grade worse than the peach tree.
Despite this, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was defeated by Lan Yu in the Battle of Yuerhai in 1388, and Su Dieer took the opportunity to kill the Northern Yuan Emperor Timur and his son, who were defeated and fled in a hurry, and established himself as the Great Khan of the Mongols, because he was not a descendant of Kublai Khan, but a descendant of Kublai Khan's younger brother Ali Buge. The Northern Yuan region was divided by the Ming army, forcing the Uliangha tribe to submit to Zhu Yuanzhang in the following year. The Mongols were truly divided, with Warat (Western Mongolia) taking advantage of the opportunity to rise and Tatar (Eastern Mongolia) weakening. Then in the Battle of Yuerhai in 1388, Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the ginseng fruit tree.
At that time, the leader of the Mongolian Warat tribe, Mengke Timur, that is, the earliest Zhenyuanzi, did not recognize the Mongolian state of Yessudier, and found the Liba Thorn bought by Timur's nephew of Tagus, and helped him become the Great Khan of Mongolia in 1393, still taking the name of the country as Dayuan. But two years ago, Enke, the son of Yesupier, had inherited his father's throne. The two sides began to fight, the history is unknown, but we can still analyze that in 1394, the Son of the Jin clan Enke was defeated and killed, and the eight thorns that he bought won.
We also understand where the name of Zhen Yuanzi comes from, that is, the hero of the town of Beiyuan.
Unfortunately, however, Timur was killed by the Riba Thorn, and the successor of Warat, Haohai Dayu, was also killed a few years later. Although the Northern Yuan supported Haohai Dayu's son Batura to take charge of Warat, the Warat tribe had developed a bitter hatred for Eastern Mongolia. At the same time, the three of Timur's sons, Mahamu, began to gather strength, preparing to regain control of Warat, and plotted to take revenge on the Tatars in the future.
In 1399, Guilichi, the leader of the Qiergis tribe in Eastern Mongolia, defeated and killed Mai's Liba, because Guilichi felt that his time was not yet right, so in 1400 he established the son of Mai's Libazi as the Great Khan, and in 1402, Guilichi killed Kun Timur again and established himself as the Great Khan of Mongolia. The Warat tribe was suspected of standing by and refusing to help too much. At this point, we believe that the Northern Yuan Dynasty really perished, and Mongolia was officially divided into Warat and Tatar. The steppes began to descend into civil strife, and the Warat and Tatars fought against each other.
So these things happened Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen and during the reign, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was keen to see the excitement in the north, and whoever became a little stronger raised troops to carry out the Northern Expedition, so that Mongolia was in a more balanced state of confrontation.
Returning to read the book, Sun Wukong promised to resurrect the ginseng fruit tree. But Zhu Qizhen has been caught by Wara, so the current monkey is Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Jingtai was ordered to prepare for war with Yu Qian on the one hand, and also asked for assistance from the surrounding vassals. The Great Sage went to Penglai first, "Just walking, I saw outside the Baiyun Cave, under the pine shade, there were three old men playing Go." The observer is the birthday star, and the opponent is the lucky star and the Lu star".
Interesting, isn't it, what is the reason for these three people to play chess? Penglai Xiandao's Fulu birthday star can basically be clear, it is Duoyan Sanwei. In the seventh chapter of Journey to the West, Rulai suppressed Sun Wukong, and the heavenly court held a "Antiy Conference", and the birthday star and the barefoot immortal came to congratulate the Buddha.
During the time of Genghis Khan, the area around the Great Khing'an Mountains was divided into his two younger brothers, Timur Ge Chijin and Belgutai, his nephew Erle and the general Mu Huali. Mu Huali and his descendants became hereditary kings and ruled over the province of Liaoyang.
In 1368, Emperor Yuan Shun withdrew to Northern Mongolia, but Mu Huali's descendant Naha was unwilling and continued to fight against the Ming army. This Nahachu was the most outstanding leader and commander of the Northern Yuan Dynasty after Timur (that is, Wang Baobao), and insisted on resisting Zhu Yuanzhang for 20 years.
In fact, as early as 1356, Zhu Yuanzhang once arrested him, and later let him return to the north. It was not until 1387, when Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu finally defeated Nahachu (who died of illness in the army while following Lan Yu on his expedition to Yunnan in 1388), that he surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang again. In the second year, in the Battle of Yuerhai, Lan Yu defeated the main force of the Northern Yuan, laying the basic end of the war in the north and almost crushing the dream of the Mongols to regain the capital. The Mongolian tribes of the original Liaoyang Province saw that they were looking for death by hitting the stone with an egg, and they attached themselves to the Ming Dynasty one after another.
In 1389, Zhu Yuanzhang divided the former Liaoyang Province into Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu Sanwei. Feng Azashiri (Lu Xing) is the commander of Tai Ning Wei, Hai Sa Nan Da Xi (Fu Xing) is the commander of Fu Yu Wei, and Tulu Huzar (Shou Xing) is the commander of Duo Yan Wei.
In 1399, in the early stage of the "Battle of Jingyan", Zhu Di received the support of the three guards, and they also made great achievements. However, the deterioration of the environment in the north made Sanwei have to go south to herd horses in order to survive, and the conflict with the Ming Dynasty escalated, and finally changed its face around 1420. They conspired with the Tatar then Taishi Arutai to constantly provoke the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore, and personally conquered the Northern Expedition to attack Alu Taibu and Sanwei. Sanwei has been honest for a few years for the time being, and after seeing Zhu Di die, he gathered strength again and continued to make trouble. In 1428, some of the men and horses of the Sanwei happened to collide with Zhu Zhanji's 3,000 cavalry guards, and the leader was killed, and the rest fled. But Zhu Zhanji was also very helpless, in fact, since 1418 in the Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the army has declined, and the war-weariness of officials has begun to sprout. Zhu Di had a headache and could only drive in person. The Warat, the Tatars, and the Three Guards raised an army to attack them. However, he took care of the north, but ignored the domestic situation, and the officials sent by Jiaolu were incompetent and greedy. Zhu Gaochi was obviously not a great successor, and his management of the government made the Ming Dynasty gradually covet comfort. Although Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty had a lot of personal ability, he could not completely deter the ministers, and the northern and southern territories began to shrink, and the Ming Dynasty gradually entered the stage of strategic defense. Zhu Zhanji's heart was insufficient, and history failed to give him a long lifespan. In 1435, Emperor Xuande died at the age of 38, and his son Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne at the age of nine.
This is also the reason why Zhu Bajie dared to laugh at the three elders of Penglai many times, after all, after Duoyan Sanwei was really afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty emperor who was most afraid but dared to occasionally provoke even if he was so proud of himself was that he was Ming Taizong. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he rewarded Duoyan Sanwei with land and property, and at this time, Duoyanwei gradually became the strongest among the three, and was no longer the boss of Tainingwei. Emperor Yongle had absolute control over Sanwei, sometimes co-opting, sometimes suppressing.
Let's analyze, in the 1449 Tumubao Rebellion, what was the attitude of Wuliangha, that is, Duoyan Sanwei? Obviously, Tainingwei and Fuyuwei helped Wara, the other helped Ming, and Duoyanwei rode the wall.
The Uliangha tribal alliance was attached to Zhu Yuanzhang as early as 1389, so Sun Dasheng behaved very casually in front of the three elders.
Fu, Lu, and Shouxing listened to the words of the Great Sage, although there was no prescription for the medical tree (they certainly didn't, because the power of Sanwei was still much smaller than that of Wara and the Ming Dynasty), but they could be a peacemaker and persuade Zhenyuan Daxian to release people, they at least had a role in delaying time. As a result, this star came to Wuzhuang Temple, and the old Wu in the book was very unkind, it was obvious that this was Confucianism, and he didn't believe in these three at all, and ridiculed them all over through the behavior and words of the eight precepts.
In the middle of Zhu Di's Yongle period, Sanwei began to have different aspirations because of conflicts with the Ming Dynasty because of grazing areas, and got in touch with the Tatars, constantly making trouble on the border. In 1422, that is, in June of the twentieth year of Yongle, Zhu Di led his army to attack Uliangha (that is, Duoyan Sanwei) and won a complete victory; in August 1423, he continued to personally conquer the Northern Expedition, but the Tatars and Uliangha fled, and the emperor returned in vain; in April 1424, Ming Chengzu made the last Northern Expedition, and the opponent still left without a fight. Zhu Di died on the way back to his division. These contents correspond to Zhu Bajie's three "teasing" of Fu, Lu, and Birthday Star in the book, which is not a coincidence, but a "fact". At this time, Duoyan Sanwei is different from Zhu Di's Yongle first year, and the "birthday star" Duoyanwei has jumped to the top and become the "boss" of Wuliangha. Therefore, in the later content of Journey to the West, the birthday star appeared again in Xiaoercheng, but Fu Helu disappeared because Taining and Fu Yuwei had declined.
also said that Sun Wukong continued to go to Abbot Xianshan to find Emperor Donghua for help. Then the Emperor of Donghua mentioned in the book will roughly figure out who he is reflected. Sun Wukong set out from Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple (Daqing Mountain) to the east, first to Penglai (alluding to the geographical location of Wuliang Haduoyan Sanwei), and then to the east is the abbot Xianshan, looking for the Donghua Emperor for help. Emperor Donghua, that is, the prince of the East called by Taoism. During the Han Dynasty, it was included in the list of Taoist high-level immortals, echoing the Queen Mother of the West, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, he was called "the Emperor of Fusang of Shuifu", and he was the leader of the gods of Shuifu.
When this eastern prince was in the Jin Dynasty, his status was respected, and he was still above the Queen Mother of the West (the Jin Dynasty was a regime established by the Jurchen people, and the Yuan history records that the Jin Dynasty was the first to come out of the Jin Dynasty. The name of the 靺鞨 is Beji. Beji, Gu Su cautiously also. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, it was attached to Li Longji and placed in Heishui Mansion. The Tang Emperor gave its leader the Han surname Li, whose name was Chengcheng, and led the Heishui Economic Envoy. During the Liao Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe returned to the Khitan, and in order to avoid the name of the Liao Dynasty emperor Yelu Zongzhen, he changed his name to Nuzhi. Its area, the so-called "white mountains and black water" is also. Later, Wanyan and Agu fought to unify the Jurchens and establish the Jin State. After that, the Jin Guolian Song Dynasty destroyed the Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, and ruled across the river from the Southern Song Dynasty. In 1234, the Jin Dynasty died at the hands of the Mongol and Southern Song coalition forces. From then on, the Jurchen tribe submitted to the Mongol Empire, and later to the Yuan Dynasty. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Jurchen tribe gradually attached itself to Zhu Yuanzhang, and in 1411, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty officially opened the Nuer Gandu Division, and finally became the hereditary commander of the Jurchen tribe, occupying part of the area). The reason why the name of the Donghua Emperor was later resounded was mainly due to the fact that in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, and the Mongol Empire (in the early days), the Quanzhen sect in Taoism looked for an ancestor with a background and unanimously agreed to be the Emperor of Donghua.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, named him the Emperor of Shaoyang in Donghua Zifu, and Emperor Wu (Yuan Wuzong, but definitely not Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty) once again crowned the Emperor of Donghua Zifu and Yuan Li. This corresponds, Mr. Wu Chengen wrote a poem to the Emperor of Donghua, "Emperor Wu once announced that he would increase his longevity, and every time Yaochi went to the peach banquet." Educating the monks to get rid of the worldly fate refers to opening the road as bright as electricity. He also crossed the sea to wish a thousand autumns, and often went to Lingshan to visit the Buddha. The holy name is the Emperor of Donghua, the first immortal of Yanxia". The meaning of "educating the monks" in it is far-reaching, and it can only be understood but not spoken. Therefore, the emperor of Donghua at this time in the book may actually reflect a certain leader of the Jurchen tribe in the northeast of the Nuer Gandu Division of the Ming Dynasty (because the Jin State established by the Jurchen ancestors Wanyan Aguta and others was prominent in the north and south for a hundred years).
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty (Yongle period), the Nuer Gandu Division was set up, under the jurisdiction of more than 130 guards such as Jianzhou Sanwei and Duoyan Sanwei, and was divided into 384 Wei during the Wanli period, including Mongolian, Jurchen and other ethnic groups, with a vast area.
After the Tumubao Incident in 1449, Zhu Qizhen was captured first. Duoyan Sanwei and Jianzhou Sanwei must have sent people to Wara to demand that Ming Yingzong be released first. Where are they willing to take them in their eyes first, or because of the military pressure of Ming Dynasty Zong and Yu Qian and others on Wara, and also in order to unify Mongolia in the future, he finally sent Zhu Qizhen back to China, and made good will with the various ethnic tribes under the jurisdiction of Nuer Gandusi. It should be that part of the encroached territory was returned to all parties first, that is, a few ginseng fruits-grass returned to the pill mentioned in Journey to the West, and let Tang monks and apprentices and Fulu Shouxing eat them.
But what is puzzling is why Dongfang Shuo appeared here? Who exactly he is referring to is still to be verified because of the fog and the lack of historical data. It is vague that from the existing records, Dongfang Shuo's ancestral home is Pingyuan, which was a place belonging to Dongyi during the Xia Dynasty.
Regarding Dongfang Shuo, there are now two unfounded speculations, one is that the ancestors of this Dongfang Shuo may actually be Jurchen (Dongfang Shuo's original surname was Zhang, and later changed to Dongfang. It is estimated that his ancestors settled down after coming to the eastern part of the Western Han Dynasty, took the Han surname Zhang, and became a Han Chinese. After Dongfang Shuo grew up, he knew the ins and outs, so he changed to Dongfang as his surname); the second is actually using Dongfang Shuo to imply that the original Donghua Emperor was the leader of the Jurchen tribe in the Northeast Yi, Wanyan Aguta, who established the Jin Dynasty in the north in 1115 AD (in 1125, Wanyan Wu begged to buy, Wanyan Aguta's younger brother destroyed Liao, and the Liao clan fled westward, and later established Western Liao, and died in Mongolian Temujin; in 1127, Wanyan Wu begged to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty; and in 1234, the Jin Dynasty perished in Wokutai and the Southern Song Dynasty coalition army). made some Jurchens begin to sinicize, and they also have a Chinese name called Wanyan Min (Wanyan person, "Wang" also; Min person, Tian also. Wanyan Min may be called Wanyan Man, which is in line with the history of "taking the king as the surname, taking the man as the name, and taking the gold as the country", and the "History of Jin" calls it Wanyan Min. And Dongfang Shuo's word is Man Qian, I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. Man Qian, suspected Jurchen pronunciation "Wanyan" also. Perhaps, Dongfang Shuo should be called Wanyan Shuo).
After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Jurchen people who remained in the Central Plains gradually became Sinicized, while the Jurchens who lived in the northeast remained and annexed to the Mongols. The Ahachu Jurchen tribe in the Yilan area of Heilongjiang, because of the troubles of the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, moved south to the Jilin region, and nominally submitted to Zhu Yuanzhang, among which Ahachu had a daughter who gave Zhu Di, the king of Yan, as a princess. In February of the 26th year of Hongwu (1393), Zhu Yuanzhang set up the right tun guard of the Yingzhou capital in Jianzhou; after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he gave his father-in-law Aha's Han name Li Sicheng (or Li Chengshan). In 1403, the Ming Dynasty set up a state guard, and Feng Aha was appointed as the commander. Brother Meng, Timur and other Jurchen tribes, under the advice of Aha Chu, also really surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. In 1411 AD, Zhu Di went on a northern expedition to Tatar, and the Jurchens also sent people to accompany the expedition and made military achievements, so Aha's son Shi Jianu was also given the Han name Li Xianzhong. In that year, Aha died and was succeeded by Shi Jianu under the command of Jianzhou Wei.
Emperor Donghua must have referred to the former Jin Dynasty Taizu Jurchen Wanyan Man (because Emperor Donghua also had nine turns of Jindan), and the apprentice Dongfang Shuo may also allude to the Jurchen Aha Chu tribal leader who later moved south, at this time it should be Aha Chu (it is worth noting that Aha Chu's original surname was Jin) The grandson Li Manzhu, who was named the governor of Jianzhou in 1448.
As a result, the Emperor of Donghua couldn't help, because the Jurchen tribe was not very powerful at that time, and the battle between them and Korea was still too busy to take care of themselves.
The Great Sage continued to the east and found the Nine Elders of Yingzhou. Regarding the nine elders of Yingzhou in the book, it is difficult to judge the ins and outs and correspondence one by one, they are the leaders of some ethnic tribes (including the savage Jurchens) in the northeast of the Nuer Gandu Division, and the area they occupy is probably the ancient Bohai Kingdom and the Sushen area. There is no big point in the detailed and specific one-to-one argument. In 1449, during the Civil Revolution, the leaders of these places were powerless and could only support the Ming Dynasty but did not take actual action.
Then you can only invite Guanyin, the great sage came to the South China Sea, and the black bear spirit was very interesting to greet the monkey, but was scolded. The Bodhisattva said that he had made a bet with Lao Jun, and he was telling us openly and secretly that the two companies were competing with each other in terms of resource competition and recycling. Lao Jun is good at gold and silver recycling, and Guanyin can turn waste into treasure. You rob yours, he robs him, you have me, I have you, exchange and cooperate, and tear each other down. The willow branches were roasted in the gossip oven, and the nectar water was revived. What is this for, the two immortals are too busy to do when they are full? Wrong, they must be discussing and exchanging how to recycle gold and silver and turn waste into treasure.
Guanyin was also very envious of Lao Jun's methods, so after paying a certain price, he dug up the red boy and strengthened the recycling of resources in this regard, plus the role of nectar water, can he not get rich?
Lao Jun didn't have much interest in nectar water, and at first he liked to organize his own people to recycle resources, but later found that this was too troublesome, and his status was very high, this kind of thing was not suitable for long-term work, and it was easy to be discovered. It's okay to hand it over to Guanyin Rulai, and he is only responsible for the dividend commission. Is there any evidence for this, there is?
In the seventy-first chapter of the book, Guanyin's mount Golden Retriever has a purple gold bell in his hand, and the monster said, "My bell is "Taiqing Immortal Monarch Dao Yuan Shen, and the gossip furnace has been alchemy for a long time." The bell is called the treasure, and the old gentleman has stayed until now." The monkey also added, "Daozu burned the Dandou Palace, and the golden bell was refined in the furnace." Two or three are like six cycle treasures, my female to your male". The demon king continued, "Ling'er is the treasure of Jindan, not birds and beasts, how can you distinguish between male and female? But just shake out the treasure, it's good!" That purple gold bell is refined by Taishang Laojun's gossip furnace, and it is itself the "treasure of Jindan", and it can also "shake out the treasure", that is, it can make gold and silver. So how did Guanyin get this treasure, did Taishang Laojun inadvertently lose it, and let the Bodhisattva pick it up? Unless there is a greasy relationship between the two Taoist Buddhas and immortals, there is an exchange of interests, so the wealthy Laojun sold it to the wealthy Guanyin at a high price.
When Sun Wukong went to the South China Sea to find Guanyin, he met a black bear. It seems that the Baolian Pond has been renovated and put into trial operation. But unfortunately, in the process of operation, it was found that the resources were too difficult to recover, so I had to find an alchemy master who could be like Taishang Laojun's right-hand man, the two boys of gold and silver. Later, I paid attention to it, ah, that red boy is perfectly fine. I have to find a way to dig it up, obviously this is the new force of Taoism's development in the lower realm, and there is a way to make money, and even the land of the mountain gods has been exploited into poverty. Later, the addition of the Bull Demon King made it impossible to have a shortage of economic talents, but there was no effective development tool magic weapon, so he could only buy Taoist magic weapons. But the golden retriever can't even control the use of a purple golden bell, and he has been experimenting in the mountains all day long, and he hasn't figured out a reason (it can be seen that Taishang Laojun has two hands, one is that the baby has a problem, and the other is that the use method is not taught to Guanyin).
Taishang Laojun is the king of North Korea, and he will definitely not send troops to help Zhu Qiyu. Besides, the relationship between North Korea and the Jurchen tribe was tense at that time, and they often called back and forth.
Guanyin is very capable, so he resurrected the ginseng fruit tree. At this time, Guanyin should be a reflection of Wang Ao of the Ming Dynasty, and he and Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty must have had a greasy relationship with Wara's Yexian, and reached a consensus, let go and let him attack the dissidents first, and not send troops to stop them, and even Chen Bing's border to cheer for Wara.
I have already said why I mentioned Taishang Laojun, because at that time, North Korea and the Jurchens were inseparable. As for the fighting method between Laojun and Guanyin's "willow branches", it is nothing more than an allusion to the fact that the Ming Dynasty had vigorously supported the Jurchens at that time, and North Korea resolutely attacked the Jurchens. Guanyin and Laojun did the experiment of the willow branches, and the temporary implicit reference may be that the Jurchen tribe of the fierce brother Timur was almost wiped out by North Korea, but the Ming Dynasty protected it and placed it in the left guard of Jianzhou. The old monarch of Taishang, at this time, refers to the Joseon Sejong Yi Yi, who once vigorously attacked the Jurchen tribes and achieved relatively "brilliant" results. Wang Ao 1384-1467 people, after Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, orthodoxy, Jingtai, Tianshun, Chenghua various years, Yongle years Jinshi was born, can be the old minister of the Seven Dynasties, he was in charge of the military affairs of Liaodong during the 1442 (orthodox seven years) - 1452 (Jingtai three years), has repeatedly defeated the provocation of Duoyan Sanwei, helped the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe, and deterred Korea. Wang Ao was unanimously recognized by Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and was basically not affected by the changes of "Civil Engineering and Nangong".
That Wang Ao's official reputation is actually good, and he made a lot of meritorious contributions during the Civil Engineering Revolution and the Battle of the Defense of Beijing, so how can he have something to do with Guanyin, an old wealth fan? It turns out that at least in the early years of his orthodoxy, when he was in charge of managing the salt law in Jiangxi, he and his subordinates were corrupt and bribe-taking. was later denounced, and he also admitted his guilt, but because of his great credit, he was exonerated by Zhu Qizhen, and he was also a controversial figure. Meritorious work is merit, passing is excessive, the history is like a knife, Wu Chengen and Li Chunfang recorded it objectively and fairly.
As for what else Wang Ao did in Liaodong that was beneficial to the great cause of the reunification of Wara, in view of the unknown history, it is impossible to specifically verify it, but there must be, and the contribution is quite small. In any case, during Wang Ao's time in Liaodong, he was indeed able to grasp the situation, and his relationship with North Korea, Duoyan Sanwei, Jurchen, and Tatar was relatively close, and he was left and right. Wang Ao didn't have any good ways to deal with Warat, so he could only focus on passive defense.
The ginseng fruit tree is alive, and everyone is happy. But "where does the joy come from", the Ming Dynasty in the orthodox years of fifteen years, connived at the development and growth of Warat, although Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian did everything possible to reverse the passive situation, but also unable to carry out a large-scale expedition against Warat and Tatar. After the restoration of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, he destroyed the pillars of the Great Wall, which led to the invasion of various Mongolian tribes into the Hetao area, and the surrounding vassal states also realized the fragility of the Ming Dynasty and began a new round of trouble. In 1457, Zhu Ming had already shown a decline, and although there were several times since then, he could not really become strong. The biggest culprit is Zhu Qizhen, who is blamed on Emperor Chongzhen, which is not objective enough. Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also has a certain responsibility, but even if he is a lord of the Holy Ming, he is no longer able to return to the sky, and freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
also said that Journey to the West, Zhenyuan Daxian invited guests, and everyone shared the grass and returned the pill. Sure enough, if you encounter the cliff of the sky, rest assured that you will be terrified. But it's actually too terrifying, it's fated to eat grass and return the pill, and it's difficult to live a long life and suffer monsters.
Look at the Journey to the West, "At this time, the Bodhisattva and the three elders each ate one, Tang Seng knew that it was a fairy baby, and also ate one, Wukong and the three of them also ate one each, Zhen Yuanzi accompanied one, and the immortals ate one." There is still no white horse in this, because after Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, he and Boyan Timur had already passed away for many years, and Mongolia was also divided. But Guanyin actually ate one, which means that the "gift money" given to Wang Ao first is too generous.
But a huge question came out, Jin Chanzi and Zhenyuan Daxian were the old people who passed on tea. So whether it is Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Gaochi, there should be no deep intersection with Warat. It can only be shown that this "golden cicada" still has a hidden identity, which will be discussed later.
Look at Lao Wu's evaluation of Boyan Timur and Zhu Qizhen, "You must be careful in life, and remember to cultivate yourself." As the saying goes, the word is business, but think twice about being angry and bullying. The sergeant was passed down through the ages, and the saint Huaide succeeded at that time. Strong and strong, in the end, it will be empty and wrong". "The blade of the heart" is "forbearance", and "inch-edge" is "patience". There is some truth in what he said, if Ming Yingzong was not the emperor himself, he would not have to suffer so many crimes, and if he and Boyan Timur could also endure it, that is, they would not be called Khan, but "bring the Son of Heaven to order the princes", then they would not have died tragically.
Wu Chengen and Mr. Li Chunfang's attitude towards Yexian was very incomprehensible, and they did not mention him at this time, but talked about their younger brother Boyan Timur. Why? Because he and Boyan Timur were very good people, at least they treated Ming Yingzong very well, and Lao Wu and Lao Li actually respected both brothers. Especially the treatment of the first, it is even better, and it is mapped in the book as the second appearance of the Lingji Bodhisattva. After we see it, we will understand that Sun Wukong was fanned thousands of miles away by the Iron Fan Princess, and it was Lingji Bodhisattva who gave the Dingfeng Pill to the monkey and pointed out the way back. is talking about 1450, and Zhu Qizhen will be released first to return to China.
Then Mr. Wu's evaluation of Boyan Timur and his ancestors can be regarded as both positive and negative, and the content of the book is specially used three times to describe too much.
After all, how did Lao Wu really challenge the Dao and Buddha families, please listen to the nonsense next time.
