Nine hundred and seventy-one times, one clever one

Yang Chengying's goal is very clear, to enter Tibet from Qinghai to eliminate the Zangba Khan and complete the reunification of the country.

However, in order to stabilize Tibet, it is necessary to seize the Kham area first, and then use the Kham area as a springboard, so that troops can be sent to quell the rebellion, and retreat can deter the nobles on the snowy plateau.

Being able to obtain the help of the monks in Kham is of great benefit to the completion of the unification of Kham and the subsequent pacification.

After the reception of Karma Tengpei, the next day, Yang Cheng should receive the envoy sent by Zangpa Khan at the observation tower.

It is worth noting that Zangba Khan is the translated name of the Han classics, and the people of Tibet or Danzhen Wangpo himself are called "Tibetan Pile Kyubu", which means "the king of the upper Tibetan land".

This is a local government in Tibet, also known as the Disi (Dixi) Zangba, which was a secular aristocratic regime that arose in Tibet in the late Ming Dynasty after Pamu Zhuba and Rinpungpa.

Caidan Dorjee of the Xinxiaba family was originally a vassal of Rinpungpa, and in the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing (1548), he was appointed as the sect of Sangzhuzi Zong (today's Kaze).

Zongben is the name of the local official, Zongben is equivalent to a county, and Zongben is probably equivalent to a county order.

In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing (1565), Caidan Dorjee united with some local officials in western Tibet, took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the people of Rinpungpa with the ruler, overthrew the rule of Rinpungpa, and controlled most of the areas of Houzang under Rinpungpa.

In the 39th year of Wanli (1611), after Phuntsok Namgyal, the grandson of Tseden Dorjee, took power, he not only ruled the Later Tibet region, but also occupied part of the former Tibet by force, and overthrew the local government of Pazhu and established the Karma regime.

Karma refers to the Karma Kagyu school, a branch of the Kagyu school, which was the first sect in Tibetan Buddhism to adopt the system of reincarnation of a living Buddha.

Moreover, the sect has also established several major reincarnation systems for living Buddhas, among which the Black Hat and Red Hat are the most famous.

Therefore, there are two ways for historiography to calculate the time of the reign of the Tsangpa Khan.

One is to start with the overthrow of the Rinpungpa regime by Tseden Dorjee.

The other is to start with Phuntsok Namgyal's self-proclaimed "Tibetan pile of knotted cloth" as the starting time.

In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Phuntsok Nam Gyal died of smallpox and was succeeded by Thangchen Wangpo.

After succeeding to the throne, Dan Zhen Wangpo demolished the small fortresses in the territory, leaving only 14 large fortresses, and strengthened his rule over the whole of Tibet.

He also amended the law and added and deleted a new code, the Sixteen Codes, on the basis of the Fifteen Codes.

In addition, he unified the weights and measures of Tibet.

Such a decent monarch has a fatal weakness.

That's weakness.

He was actually beaten by the Mongol army of 2,000 to retreat to Yaowang Mountain, and later, after mediation, the Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery were returned, and the coercive policy was abandoned.

Because of this, when he learned that the Oirat Mongols should have marched south in a big way, but Yang Chengying ordered them not to allow it, and the Mongol army really obediently obeyed the order, and immediately had the consciousness of "hugging the thighs".

This time, he sent a large delegation through Gansu and came to Shenyang with the determination and perseverance of the pilgrimage.

Then, I was shocked by the prosperity of Shenyang.

The envoy offered the tribute, and then said, "The first priest has ordered the villain to pay tribute to His Highness repeatedly, and the first priest will never be an enemy of His Highness, and His Highness's instructions will be obeyed."

"It's very gratifying that the first division can have such an awareness."

After listening to the translator's words, Yang Chengying said, "In the future, the whole Tibet must be harmonious and not let the pure white snow of the snowy plateau be stained red with blood again."

"When the villain returns, he will convey His Highness's words."

The envoy paused and continued: "Your Highness, the villain heard that His Highness canonized *** and the name of the Panchen as the Living Buddha, and also canonized Gushi Khan."

"Gushi Khan is my courtier, and his Khan name is kept for the time being, and I have other uses." Yang Chengying said bluntly, "As for the two living Buddhas, they are cultivators of the snowy plateau, and Gu is only giving them a new honorific title, not canonization."

As soon as he heard the envoy's words, Yang Chengying realized that Zangba Khan also wanted his canonization.

Zangba Khan's idea was very direct, if he was canonized and beaten by the Mongols, he would directly send someone to Yang Chengying to uphold justice.

Moreover, the Mongols did not dare to attack him, because he was Yang Chengying's "courtier".

This relationship between the two sides is similar to that of King Wu of the Great Wei.

Therefore, Yang Chengying's answer is also very simple, he can only "mediate" in the affairs of the snowy plateau, and will not directly intervene.

The messenger did not believe this, and he said, "The villain knows that the mission sent by the Priest is late, and he is guilty of neglect. But the heart of the first priest is very pious, and I hope that His Highness will understand."

"Of course I do." Yang Chengying nodded, and continued, "It's just that Yaktu Taiji will tolerate the division accepting my canonization?"

"The relationship between the Disi and Chotu Khan is only an ally, and I don't think they will stop it."

The messenger was a little weak-hearted.

The relationship between the three parties was very delicate, and he could tolerate Zangba Khan's sending a delegation to Shenyang, but he might not be able to tolerate Zangba Khan's submission to Yang Chengying.

Because he relied on the "anti-Yang Chengying" as the banner, and then combined with Namu Zhong, gathered the Qinghai and Mongolian tribes, and called himself Chotu Khan.

If Zangba Khan votes for Yang Chengying, it is equivalent to a stab in the back of Choktu Taiji.

In case the Tsuktu Taiji counterattacks and attacks Tibet before Yang Chengying, then the Zangba Khan will be more auspicious.

"Look, you're not sure of it." Yang Chengying took the opportunity to say, "I can't send troops to support Zangba Khan at the moment, in case Zangba Khan suffers because of this, I will become a sinner."

"Your Highness thinks so."

Although he knew that Yang Chengying had no intention of canonizing, the envoy had to admit that this was reasonable.

"To be honest, I'm very worried about one thing, and that is that Choktu Taiji has broken his covenant and entered Tibet, how should you deal with it?" Look at the book

Yang Chengying saw blood for a while.

"This ......" the messenger was asked, and after half a ring, he replied, "Your Highness, does it have any good ideas?" Please show your Highness, and the villain will go back and tell the Divi."

"Thoughts, just for reference. That is, you must unite with the Yellow Hats, and beware of the recklessness of the Yaktutaiji."

"When the villain returns, he will convey it to the Divi."

The messenger bowed his head and saluted.

Yang Chengying nodded and ordered the messengers to go down to rest.

Looking at the back of the envoy, Yang Chengying suddenly thought of something, if the Panchen Lama was deliberately asked to come to Shenyang, and then waved his army south to attack Zangba Khan, how should he deal with it?

If you really want to commit such stupidity, it is really blessed by God.

The Kagyu factions are killing each other, the Gelug faction is suppressed and returns to the mountains, Qinghai is also on guard against emptiness, and the Central Plains will also decide who will win the world.

Yang Chengying could take the opportunity to send troops to enter Tibet from Qinghai with Gushi Khan as the vanguard, and wipe out the Qiuketu Taiji and Namu Zhong, who were weakened by cannibalism.

He also became the savior of the Gelug sect and the Tibetan aristocracy, and implemented the new policy.

Oh my!

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Chengying couldn't help but look forward to Qiuketu Taiji, you old man should be smart and help me save a lot of things.

Just thinking about it, Zu Zepei came to report that the Panchen had arrived.

"Please let him in." Yang Chengying retracted his thoughts and said in a straight voice.
