Chapter 24 Galloping(1/2)
In addition to the title, Ming Dynasty was also extra generous this time, and all the nobles who came were given rewards.
Silk, porcelain, and tea, these three things will never go out of style and are highly sought after.
Around the bonfire, the emperor enjoyed the enthusiastic dance of the Mongolian people. A large number of Mongolian nobles enthusiastically sang and danced in the center of the stage to express their respect for Chuluo Khan.
The firelight reflected on Zhu Yixi's face, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, showing that he was in a particularly good mood.
On the other side, the twelve-year-old King of Qin Zhu Cunming was a little unable to resist.
Beihai County Prince Budali sat beside him enthusiastically, pointing at the few little girls behind him, and kept introducing them.
Obviously, as the oldest prince, he received extra preferential treatment from Budali.
Zhu Cunming turned his attention to the emperor's father, but the emperor pretended as if nothing had happened, enjoying the dance of the nobles and eating barbecue, not to mention how happy he was.
"My eldest daughter is lively and cute. Look, I specially invited scholars to teach her. Her calligraphy is particularly powerful..."
King Qin reluctantly agreed.
At this time, he didn't understand that the great emperor's father had sold him as a marriage partner.
Looking at the Mongolian girl with her vagina ready to be released under the lights behind her, her unique exotic style presents a different beauty from that of Han women.
Although he is still underage, he already has an appreciation for beauty.
I hope it doesn’t smell too bad!
He sighed inwardly and smiled.
The culmination of a bonfire party is inseparable from wrestling.
The Mongolian nobles fought bravely, and the emperor did not hesitate to send his top guards to fight.
Obviously, the Mongols were still no match for the guards selected from thousands of people.
At night, the emperor enjoyed the Mongol hospitality.
The two Mongolian women are beautiful in appearance, combining the sophistication of the Han and the boldness of the Mongolians, making people forget to leave.
After asking later, I found out that he was of mixed Han and Mongolian descent.
In response, Zhu Yixi accepted everything and prepared to take it back to Beijing, which could be regarded as winning the hearts of the Mongols.
Feeling the tenderness and service of his daughter's family, the emperor's mind was empty at this time and he was most thoughtful.
There were more than two hundred Mongolian nobles gathered in Chengde, and they were basically from large tribes in various places. The tribesmen without thousands of tents could not speak at all.
The intention to win over the upper class nobles has finally come true.
But the most important thing is to proceed step by step, just like Chahar, expand the Khanate, build cities, and slowly regain power. Suiyuan, Chahar, and Jilin are all in charge.
As for Khalkha Mongolia, that is, Mobei Mongolia, we need to take a long-term approach.
"There is obedience, but not much."
Sighing, he put his head into the woman's arms, feeling the gentle and elastic embrace. Zhu Yixi's nose was filled with the scent of grass unique to the prairie.
"How did the Manchus conquer Khalkha in history?"
"It should be that after Junggar unified the desert and Mongolia, they chose to move eastward to unify the Mongolian region, which aroused opposition from the entire Khalkha region and seriously interfered with the Manchu and Mongolian integration policy of the Qing Dynasty..."
"Facing the crisis, the Qing Dynasty chose to attack, but had to fight, and thus completely conquered the Khalkha Mongolia..."
"However, compared to the humane destruction of the entire Mongolian Mongolia, and the establishment of direct vassal administration in Monan, the Mobei region has always been in a laissez-faire state. It seems that it just added another khan, turning it into the four khans."
The more he thought about it, the sleepier he became, and finally he couldn't help but closed his eyes.
The next day, when the emperor had just finished washing, the Mongols sent good news. The great living monk of Mobei, Jebtsundamba, came from Mobei and came here specially to pay his respects.
Zhu Yixi was extremely happy about this matter and immediately called the disciples of the holy monks in Suiyuan and Chahar, who were the first living monks appointed by the emperor, to have a friendly discussion on Buddhism.
Jebzundamba was the son of Tushetu Khan. He was an important symbol of the union between Mongolia and Zang. He was also the center of faith in the entire Mobei region.
A few years ago, Tase and Banchan came from the plateau to the grassland to lecture and promote Buddhism. Jebtsundampa came to see them and discuss them.
Later, he went to Lhasa to study and convert.
From the Juenang sect, it became the Gelug sect. Plateau Buddhism also recognized him as the first Jebtsundampa, who began to inherit the system in the true sense of Mobei and became the leader of Buddhism.
But just recognition by the three tribes in Mobei is not safe. Jebtsundamba needs the emperor's canonization and enjoy the official treatment.
Therefore, he was the de facto Buddhist leader in Mobei, both in Mongolia and Ming Dynasty.
The young Jebtsundampa was only twenty-four years old. His years of Buddhist practice made him full of the temperament of leading people to do good. Every move he made seemed to have profound meaning.
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor——"
"Your Excellency, Master, you are polite——"
The emperor was also very polite. He sat at the head of the table and entertained the young great lama.
This living man from Mobei is in his 20s, his face is covered with frost, and his big eyes are slightly closed, seeming to hide his wisdom.
Although Zhu Yixi didn't understand Buddhism, he admired this young man.
As we all know, walking on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is difficult and altitude sickness makes people uncomfortable, but Jebtsundamba, at the age of less than 20 years old, traveled thousands of miles to Lhasa under such traffic conditions.
For an ordinary person, half of his life would be wasted on the road, but he was still fearless. He practiced in Lhasa for several years and resolutely converted to the Gelug Sect.
A person with such great perseverance and wisdom should never be underestimated.
The great lama was fluent in Tibetan, Mongolian and Chinese, so communication with the emperor was no problem at all.
The two chatted about some topics about the Mobei grassland, and gradually brought the topic to Mobei's Buddhism.
"I intend to build a temple for the great lama in Beijing, just like the two holy monks on the plateau."
The emperor spoke first, showing his desire to win over.
Jebtsundampa was naturally willing, but he still added: "Buddhism among the people in the Khalkha tribes is not prosperous, and the young monks have to stay in Mobei..."
"I understand!" Zhu Yixi restrained her smile and said seriously: "The temples in Mobei are not systematic and need someone to unify them, and I think the guru is very suitable."
"I have decided to canonize you as the Great Lama of Hutuktu, and your Chinese name will be the Holiness Dharma King."
The word Hutuktu is interchangeably translated with the Tibetan "Phagsiba" and the Chinese "holy". It is a Buddhist term and its status is second only to Dalai and Panchan.
"In addition, I will reward 10,000 silver coins for repairs to the Deguang Temple where the great lama is stationed..."
After stating a series of conditions, Zhu Yixi looked at him quietly, waiting for a reply.
Even though he had experienced a lot of storms, when faced with the canonization of the Ming Emperor, Jebtsundamba could not help but feel a tremor in his heart.
In other words, from now on, he will not only command the entire Mobei Buddhism in fact, but also in name. This will save him a lot of effort.
He was even able to transcend the other tribes in Mobei and become a force of his own, which should not be underestimated. Even the father of Tuxie Tuhan could not control him anymore.
"Amitabha——" Jebtsundampa said nothing, just recited the Buddha's name.
Everything is left unsaid.
The emperor showed a real smile.
Subsequently, among many Mongolian nobles, the emperor announced the appointment and spread the news throughout the grassland.
I think it won't be long before the whole of Mobei will know this news, and Buddhists will also understand.
The support of the Ming Emperor was worth several Tuxie Tuhans.
Of course, in a sense, this also deepened the control of the Khalkha Mongolian tribes and the control of beliefs, allowing Jebzundamba to gradually get rid of the control of Tushetu Khan.
This is what the tribes in Mobei are happy to see.
At this time, our King of Qin, Zhu Cunming, is being entangled by two young girls.
At twelve or thirteen years old, with a lively personality, charming appearance, wearing a gorgeous Mongolian robe, and speaking pure Chinese, the two women looked particularly strange.
At this time, Zhu Cunmai followed the local customs and wore a light Mongolian robe. He looked heroic and upright, obviously inheriting the emperor's fine bloodline.
"Okay -" The chattering words annoyed him so much that he simply shouted, and then the two girls stopped.
"Let's go horseback riding—"
Zhu Cunmai then touched the heads of the two women and said softly: "But we agreed, we can't argue anymore."
"You have to be obedient, you know? Only obedient girls are the most beautiful."
Seeing the handsomeness that was very different from that of the Mongolian man, the two girls nodded eagerly, then each held their arms in their arms and walked away into the distance laughing and joking.
Not far away from them, Budali was looking with a monocular telescope. Although he couldn't hear the words clearly, this scene really made him happy.
"That's it. The daughters will work harder and try to put him to sleep at night. In Chinese, it's like raw rice and cooked rice, hahaha——"
Budali thought: "By marrying the Ming Dynasty, my family's position in Chahar will be extremely stable."
"It's a pity that I didn't see the prince this time, but it doesn't matter, I still have several beautiful daughters, all of the right age."
Compared with the orthodox Chahar Khan, Budali is only the nephew of Lindan Khan and a common branch, and does not have an advantage in Chahar's internal strength.
Even though Chahar Khan's headquarters was divided several times and had nearly 4,000 tents, only 3,000 tents were left in Chahar's headquarters.
But all this is just because Chahar Khan is underage and has extremely weak voice.
And once he reaches adulthood, the advantages of righteousness and direct descent from the Golden Family will allow him to continue to strengthen and lead the Chahar tribe again.
To be continued...
